This is just a small episode in the boring journey for Yulian and the others, but it is not a good thing for the frightened guy, in fact, in the next three days, Yulian and the twin sisters did not find him again, and I don't know if this guy fell off the cliff in a panic during the chase that night or noticed that there was a more tricky guy following him, he did not appear in the cordon of the four gifted knights again in the past two days, it seems that he has left, and the mage team seems to have made the same judgment as Yulian, starting from the next day, they resumed their original way of moving, and Yulian and the others still followed them leisurely, completely unnoticed by these guys.

That being said, the problem doesn't have to come from the outside.

"My lord, where are we going?"

This is the third time that O'Faryl has asked this question, not that she is suspicious or does not understand the current situation, but with the deepening of the distance, every time O'Faryl uses his soul power to sense the other party's magic fluctuations, he will subconsciously produce a chilling sense of fear, that is like if you stretch out a hand to hold down a stone on the ice, and then feel the chill of the whole body - this is not the cold feeling on the snowfield, but some kind of cold that penetrates deeper into the bone marrow and soul.

This made Ofaril a little panicked, she had never encountered a similar situation before, and because she was the holder of the Illusory Caste and the soul condensation, her perception of this aspect was far higher than that of others, so walking on this land at this moment brought a more real feeling to the girl--as if they were not walking on a snow-shrouded hillside, but walking into a dark abyssal cavern.

A journey with no end.

"I feel bad. ”

Offariel's face was pale and her breathing was short (although she didn't need to breathe anymore), and at this moment, not only Yuren, but also Farien, could see that something was not quite right about her.

"Big sister, are you not feeling well?"

"It shows that we are getting closer. ”

Compared to Faren's anxiety, Yuren was very calm, and in the face of Offariel's strangeness, he just shrugged his shoulders and replied very blandly.

"Approach, approach what?"

At this moment, Ofariel was desperate to know the answer, and if she wanted to use a more realistic analogy, it was that she felt like she was now in a room with no air, and it was unbearably hot and completely enclosed, and when she looked up, she saw not a gray ceiling but a gloomy sky with falling snowflakes, and this strange feeling was even more obvious. Of course, Offariel was also keenly aware of the power of Mana in this area, as she felt in the source of the twilight forest. The difference is that she feels as if she is soaking in a hot spring anytime and anywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fish in water. But here, she felt like a small fish thrown ashore, struggling and jumping, about to take her last breath.

"Offariel, stop touching those Mannas and focus on guiding yourself, Messiah and Semiya should have taught you how to make a spirit shield...... That's right, that's it. ”

"Hoo ............"

After following Julien's instructions and teachings to open the acarcity shield, Offariel finally let out a long breath and felt like she was back in the water -- this time as if she were a small fish imprisoned in a fish tank.

"It's so weird here............ What the hell is this place?"

"Remember what you told me earlier?"

Yulian didn't answer directly, but asked a strange question.

"Report?"

Ofariel was stunned for a moment, not to mention that Yulian's rhetorical question was a bit unexpected, and she had just returned to the "water", and she hadn't had time to wake up her brain, but she quickly reacted.

"You mean the legend from before............"

"There's a lot of people in a whole city. ”

Yuren said, bowing his head, and then, his right foot lightly stomped on the ground.

An invisible whirlwind erupted, and the surrounding snow scattered like dust to the surrounding area, an action that didn't attract anyone's attention, after all, it was too easy for a gifted knight to do this.

At Yuren's feet, when the snow cleared, the grass was still green, and it had not completely withered, but it was only a matter of fact under the cover of the snow. However, Yulian is clearly not here to do winter grass to be investigated. He winked at the twin sisters standing beside him, and then the two girls stepped forward half a step at the same time.

"Snap" closed the umbrella in his hand, and then lightly touched it on the grass.

There was no sound.

But the two slender gaps had already spread out with the sisters' movements, and then the stiff earth that had been frozen by the cold suddenly moved, and then automatically turned to both sides like a mythical divided sea.

"Ahh

Not only Ofaril, but even Farin couldn't help but let out a small scream. For they saw clearly the existence under the turned soil.

Not just the rhizomes of plants, but even more striking -- a white that is different from snow, a white that has no life.

Piles of bones were thrown out of the earth, and although they were scattered and shattered, it was quickly judged from their shape and size that they were not animal bones.

"It's been so many years, and it's still so fresh. ”

Yulian bent down, picked up a bone that I don't know if it was a thigh or an arm, played with it carefully, and then knocked it. Then, the bone, which had looked hard, suddenly emitted a faint light, and then immediately spread out into a shining dust of light in all directions, and then disappeared into the air, without a trace.

"Manna crystallization?"

When Offariel was still puzzled, Farin on the side had already whispered.

"How is this possible? It's human bones, and it's .........."

"If it weren't for Mana's crystallization, how could these bones have retained their fresh color and appearance hundreds of years later?"

Yuren shrugged his shoulders, then turned and walked forward, as if instead of piles of bones in front of him, he had wildflowers on the side of the road. The twin sisters didn't say much, they followed Yulian closely, and put up their parasols again to cover the snowflakes that fell on their heads--they looked leisurely like ladies going out for a walk.

"Great, my lord, what the hell is going on?"

"Mr. Yuren, do you know something?"

Compared to their calmness, the two girls were extremely uncalm, and Offariel was surprised that there were so many corpses here, and they were buried so shallowly. Faren was surprised that the bones were all the crystallization of Mana, after all, what she had learned in the Mage Guild was that the crystallization of Mana was almost impossible unless it was deliberately maintained with spells.

But now, the reality in front of her has once again overturned her cognition. The girl couldn't understand why anyone would have the leisure to perform such a spell on these bones, and how was it done?

Faced with the questions of the two, Yu Lian did not answer. He walked in silence, and after blurting out the question, Eufaril and Pharadix seemed to sense that they were being reckless, so they closed their mouths and waited for the answer they were hoping for.

"You should know that Manna created this world. ”

However, Yuren's digression skills seem to have reached their peak, and once again he takes it upon himself to bring up a fundamentally different topic.

"With the existence of Mana, people can survive, animals, plants, and all life, all need Mana's support and support, without Mana's existence, then anywhere will become a dead land. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, these are the most basic common sense, and no one knows it.

"The over-exploitation of Mana by humans will make an area of Mana thin and unsuitable for human habitation, so you can only choose to develop and manufacture something around the source that can harness the power of Mana in abundance. If you do this elsewhere, the end will be to perish there -- and you see it as Mana's punishment for human greed. ”

Hearing this, Faren's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect to hear this kind of statement from Yuren's mouth, in fact, there are many people who will say this, but most of them are the arguments of the Church of Holy Grace, what punishment, punishment, human greed, etc., etc., etc., and in the Mage Association, it is very clear that formulaic analysis will be used to give answers. Ofariel, on the other hand, frowned slightly, instinctively sensing that there seemed to be something strange about Julien's words, but she couldn't tell where it was.

However, Yulian obviously didn't care about the reaction of the two of them, and went on talking to himself.

"However, everyone ignores one point, this is like robbery, humans snatched Mana and squandered it wantonly, so the one who was robbed has no intention of turning it over?"

Saying this, Yulian stopped.

"The recovery of the principal with interest is the part that human beings cannot afford to consume. ”

Then he pointed ahead.

And when the two of them looked forward along Yulian's fingers, their eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

What was presented in front of them was a scene that no one could have imagined.

It was a valley.

Although the valley itself is not strange, everything inside can easily feel abnormal -- in this dark valley, there is not the slightest shadow of snow on the black earth, and the snowflakes seem to disappear before they fall to the ground, and inside the valley are collapsed houses.

Or that the collapse is not correct.

It should be said that these houses are almost intact, the only difference is that they are completely rotated a full 180 degrees, and they stand upside down on the ground, not only the houses, but also the stone pillars, and even the sculptures, which at the moment seem to be sculptures frozen in the air, "upside down" without shaking.

What's even more bizarre is that it's not just the buildings that stand upside down, you can even clearly see the white bones in it. Unlike the bone fragments buried in the soil before, these bones still maintain their human form, and they are even dressed in the clothes of the time! But, like those buildings, these skeletons are with their heads on the earth, their feet facing the sky, and their clothes have not decayed with the passage of time, and they still seem to be as distinct as they are.

"What kind of catastrophe can cause a huge city and its people to disappear so that their bodies can't even be found?"

With a hint of sarcasm, Yuren said exactly what Offariel had said to himself before.

"It's so simple, because the city has just been turned over from under the ground by something. ”

"This ............"

Offariel stared at the scene in shock, not knowing what to say, and when she looked up, all she saw was the endless city in the entire valley. The whole city was inverted in the valley, and beside it, Ofaril could clearly see the snow-white peaks, which contrasted sharply with the interior, as if it were a world covered in snow, surrounded, closed, and isolated.

She closed her eyes, and could vaguely feel a trace of coldness and chill, although under the protection of the soul barrier, she was no longer as embarrassed as before, but at this time, Ofariel could not feel at ease at all. It was as if she were drifting among the roaring waves in a dilapidated boat, and she herself could do nothing but clung to the cable and waited desperately for the storm to end.

Thinking of this, O'Faryl couldn't help but look at Yu Lian again, his tall and thin figure was unusually eye-catching in this, the girl hesitated for a moment, and then walked behind Yu Lian, looking at Yu Lian's back, O'Faryl subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was a lot easier in an instant.

Upside-down city.

Deathly silence.

"Okay, don't be stupid, the next thing is the key. ”

Yuren's tone was low, and he was more serious than he had ever been.

"Everyone is ready to fight. ”

Preparations for battle?I can't even see a figure here, what are the preparations for fighting?Could it be that Lord Yulian finally wants to do something to that team of mages?Thinking of this, Ofariel couldn't help but glance at Faren beside her, if she really wants to fight those mages, then what is her attitude?

Hearing Yuren's words, the twin sisters immediately put away their umbrellas and changed back into the form of "guns", while Pherin and O'Fariel, although a little hesitant, quickly summoned their weapons.

The cold wind is still blowing, but it feels lifeless, as if even these cold winds are just part of a model.

They are not really wind.

"Mana's precipitation is amazing, it's so abnormal. ”

Faren couldn't help but muttered to herself, at this moment she had completely entered the highest state of alert, kept scanning, looking around, Offariel took the time to observe, to her surprise was that the two little angels, who had always been carefree with a leisurely smile, also put away the smile on their faces at this moment, and looked at the ruins in front of them carefully and seriously. There was a cold, vigilant, and unrelenting look in their eyes—not even in the face of the West's army of 30,000 men, the two girls had never been so serious as they were now.

And Yuren is the same. After finishing the previous battle preparations, he kept silent, and instead held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, although he did not draw the sword, but Ofaril felt that his lord had already made complete preparations, and once he reacted, it must be a thunderbolt.

"Mr. Yuren! it's ...... right now."

And so on. ”

Julien sealed Pherin's uneasy answer with a short word, and Offariel didn't know what she was trying to say, but she felt a certain unsettling silence herself. It's like standing on the beach, watching the tide recede, the dead silence before the great tsunami, and all they can do, as Julien says, is wait.

However, the silence did not last long.

"Boom !!"

With a deafening roar, in the ruins of the city in front of everyone, bright fires suddenly erupted, dust, rubble, air currents, and the shimmer of Mana that shattered and disappeared as a result, blending together and spreading towards the surrounding area.

"It was an attack by constructing a golem. ”

Faren reacted immediately, as a member of the Mage Association and a magic knight, she was naturally familiar with the ace combat power of the association.

"Keep waiting. ”

Yuren stretched out his left hand to block the ho-rin as he tried to rush forward, while his eyes remained motionless at the ruins in front of him.

The roar grew louder and louder, flashes and explosions appeared from time to time, forming a pathway in the dead city, created by flashes and loud noises. It's clear that these guys are getting deep into it.

At the same time, Ofariel felt that the aura around him was becoming more and more disordered, although he didn't know what the Mage Guild was fighting with, but they obviously did not achieve their original purpose, and the originally calm and strange city was now like something slowly floating under the water, bringing a huge sense of trembling.

"It's now!"

Another flash of light pierced the sky, and for a moment several cities were reduced to ruins under this powerful attack, and at this moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Yulian's eyes, and then, his left hand swung forward vigorously, and then the whole person jumped up and jumped down the valley.
