This is the end of the battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Like the Lich, the Dragon Lich is difficult to kill easily - they seal their lives and souls in a secret location, and after their existing bodies are destroyed, they can be reborn in a pre-prepared body after only a few days of death.

But no matter how you say it, that's also a trouble to consider later. The body in front of him, which once belonged to the black dragon Dexdulla, was not only divided into several parts, but also burned from head to toe by the "Holy Light", and was already too dead to die.

"We ...... We've killed a dragon! Elio was the first to cheer, as if he had accomplished a great feat—not too much, in fact, "Ah, of course, Captain Lily is the best, and so is Miss Angel. He stopped talking abruptly and looked around at the clearing where silence had regained its silence, "Didn't you say that there was some secret hidden here?" But I didn't see anything. ”

"Because someone hid it." Jill replied, "And I'm about to find it." ”

The dark-haired woman starts at the edge of the clearing and walks slowly in a circle towards the center. Lily followed her suspiciously, trying to figure out what the other man was going to do, but she couldn't see anything.

She set her sights on Al and Ann, who had returned to the crowd. The girl just shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing; The machine man raised his hand and whispered a few words before meeting Lily's gaze.

"There may be a hidden passage here, Lilianor." Alphonse said, "The person hiding it was so meticulous that I didn't know how to open it." ”

"Hidden Passage!" Elio suddenly regained his strength, "Where did it lead?" I've heard that dragons have a habit of burying treasures, so shouldn't it be his treasure vault? ”

"Since you think so, you will be the first to go in later?" Lily looked back and said, "Of course, we can't guarantee what will happen to you." ”

"I didn't ...... No problem! The young knight hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed, "Whether it's a treasure or a monster, leave it to me to deal with!" ”

While the two were arguing, the black-haired woman stopped near the center of the clearing, carefully surveying the ground beneath her feet.

"It's all time like this......" she sighed rarely, "it doesn't matter if you rely on a so-called 'talent' once." ”

Lily closed her mouth and watched with a little amazement at what was happening in front of her. The black-haired woman was still standing still, but she felt as if the other party was no longer a living being, but had become some kind of ...... More wonderful existence as well.

"You ......," she asked, "aren't you human?" ”

"It's a child of humans and 'youkai'." Jill replied lightly, "My mother is a thousand-year-old tree that has acquired the form of a human through magic. I inherited some of her talents...... Although for some reason, I don't really like to use it. ”

Lily nodded, not continuing to ask. Now that the dark-haired woman has crossed to the continent, her past no longer matters. Just like her hundreds of years of journey, there are also a few experiences buried in her heart that she never wants to mention to others.

After a while, the black-haired woman moved her body and returned to her original form in Lily's perception. Then, she took a strange path through the clearing, occasionally drawing a shimmering rune or two in the air, and letting them fall to the ground beneath her feet. After about ten minutes, Jill finally stopped this series of movements, raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's really troublesome." Jill chuckled in satisfaction, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "It's a pity that it met me." ”

A slowly rotating golden disc measuring three meters tall appeared in the center of the clearing with the movements of the black-haired woman. The shimmer of light forms a swirling image in the disc, as if it is sucked into it if you get closer.

"Otherworldly...... The Gate? The mercenary muttered to herself.

She recognized what was in front of her, and more than once she had personally passed through similar "doors". Unlike teleportation, which cannot leave a single world, such portals often connect two very different dimensions. In other words, the opposite side of the "door" may be an outer plane similar to the celestial or hellish realm; a very different material realm; The inner realm, inhabited by elemental beings, but not suitable for human existence; Or some other unexpected place.

Even the skilled Atlas Traveler needs to be cautious when encountering a strange and unknown gateway to the Atlas - otherwise, a catastrophe or even death awaits him.

"The lich is probably hiding on the other side." Jill stared at the golden door as she did, and said in a voice just big enough for her to hear, "Perhaps, what I'm trying to find is inside." ”

Lily nodded, and was about to continue talking, only to see Elio stride to the door, then turn around and wave vigorously at Ann and her.

"Miss An, Head Lily, let me find out if the other side is safe!" Without hesitation, he lifted his foot and stepped into the golden disc, "You're waiting for me—"

The rest of the words were not heard, for he had disappeared from the perception of the crowd.

"I feel the breath of Master Stark." The second to step through the door was Ariel, who didn't hesitate for a moment, "I know he's not there, but maybe I can find the message he left behind and why this forest is where it is." ”

Lily watched the Celestials disappear into the gate, and suddenly remembered something, and looked at the black-haired woman on the side, "Speaking of which, who do you think won in the previous competition with you?" ”

"I'm a little faster in terms of time." Jill raised the corners of her mouth and replied, "But if it weren't for Ariel, I'm afraid it would be a bit of trouble to solve that black dragon, even if you win." ”

"Hmm...... In this way, you have just made a lot of efforts. And after all, you only have one person, so let's count it as a tie? The mercenary laughed happily as she spoke, "Then next." She pointed to the door in front of her, "Let's go in and have a look?" ”

"I have no opinion." Jill likewise chuckled, "Until our goals conflict, it's a good thing to work with you." ”

Lily thought the same thing. If possible, she even hopes that the relationship will continue. She remembered Barack Einhardt, who had been a comrade-in-arms and then an enemy—a man who seemed to be Jill's companion as well. The war between the Empire and the Elna is over, and now she has enough strength to fight side by side with the other party.

"So." She shook off her superfluous thoughts and walked with the black-haired woman to the gate of the other world not far away, "You don't think about it anymore?" Join our Lily Nono group. ”
