Chapter 339: Boundary
readx;
For Lintilott, everything here made her very curious, she had never even seen anything she had ever seen here, not even the earth and the sky, and in Lintilott's memory, she had never seen such "cruelty" anywhere The Northland Wilderness is harsh enough, but compared to the ground in front of you, which makes your throat dry just by looking at it, and the dark red ground is full of cracks and stones, it is enough to become a rich land, not to mention the fertile plains where the Sith Empire is located, which is like heaven in retrospect.

And it wasn't just that that made Lintillot curious, after that, she followed Yulian to find a strange black box parked behind the hill, this thing looked flat and flat, and there was a triangle in front of it, it looked weird and weird, but it was still suspended in the air? But before Lintillot could guess what it was for, Julien stretched out his hand, and then only two slight sliding sounds were heard, and the side of the strange black box actually rose directly, revealing the hollow inside--this is actually a person who can sit?
And when Lintillot curiously asked Yuren what it was, Yuren only shrugged his shoulders and gave a casual answer.
"You can just use this as a carriage. β
He reached out and pointed to a hollow disc in front of the seat on the left inside.
"That's the reins. β
"But......... I didn't see the horse ......."
"Of course. β
Yuren raised an eyebrow, but his expression was blocked by the pitch-black helmet, so Lintillot didn't see it.
"There is no such thing as a horse in this world, all right, get in the car. β
β...............β
I have to say that Her Royal Highness is still very sensible, although up to now, she still has a lot of questions in her mind, but from Yulian's tone, Lintillot heard that he didn't want to talk more, so Lintillot nodded, and then walked to the other side of the black box according to Yulian's gesture and lowered his head, and after looking at it carefully, he bent down and sat in, and on the other side, Yulian entered the car and closed the door after making sure that Lintillot was in the car.
Yulian, who was sitting in the car, didn't start it immediately, he just reached out and gently stroked the dashboard in front of him, as well as the buttons on it.
After so many years, the progress is so small.
Thinking of this, the corners of You Lian's mouth curled slightly, and then a helpless smile appeared.
But also, it was like that at that time, and I should be thankful that I can still maintain it and not go back to the Stone Age. Thinking of this, Yu Lian gathered his thoughts, and then he reached out and took out a card from inside his coat and inserted it into the gap next to the steering wheel, and soon the originally dark car exuded a bright brilliance, and then, with a slight shaking, began to move forward rapidly.
Lintillot didn't speak again, she just looked quietly ahead, because she was blocked by the helmet, Yulian didn't know what her expression was now, but thinking about this royal highness, she must be very confused, after all, she came to such a world she didn't understand, and everything here was far from what she knew......... Thinking of this, You Lian suddenly felt a little strange, frankly speaking, he still didn't know much about the thoughts of Her Royal Highness, you must know that just now, they were still enemies fighting to the death, and now the atmosphere has become weird, but if You Lian says he doesn't mind, anyway, You Lian has more enemies and friends, and he has long been used to all kinds of identity swaps over the years, as if the Blue Feather Mercenary Group, which was established to cover up the Knights of the End, has now become their enemy, if you put it on others, I am afraid that you will still feel emotional, but You Lian quickly changed his mentality, no matter what was before, since it's an enemy now, then let's kill it......... But what does Her Royal Highness think?
As he drove forward, he carefully recalled in his mind what had happened when he woke up, and at first it was obvious that Lintillot was also frightened by this place, but her attitude towards herself was very relaxed and casual, not only was she not the slightest nervous, but there was nothing particularly strange about it--but this in itself was the biggest oddity, wasn't it? He is the leader of the Knights of the End, and led the Knights of the End to drive away the troops of the Sith Empire, let their original fat slip away, and cut them a gifted knight.
"Mr. Yuren?"
"Hmm, is there something wrong?"
"I just wanted to ask...... Your hurt ........."
It's a real nuisance.
Hearing Lintilott's slightly uneasy question, Yulian also frowned, he left a hand for the twin sisters to protect them from punishment, then he would be in trouble, originally with two hands, there were many things that could be done, but now with one less hand, it is much more troublesome......... But luckily, I'm here now......... Thinking of this, You Lian smiled bitterly and shook his head, maybe this is the only benefit.
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Princess, I have my own way. β
"I see, Mr. Yuren, there's one more thing ........."
"Huh?"
"Can you not call me Her Royal Highness, at least for now, this title really doesn't mean anything. β
"Yes, Miss Lintillot. β
With Yu Lian's answer, the conversation between the two came to an end temporarily, Lintillot was still looking at the speeding scenery outside the car window, silent, and Yu Lian didn't say anything more, he checked the map, while driving the car on this barren, dilapidated Gobi speed, after more than ten minutes, Yu Lian stopped the car, and then opened the door.
"All right, let's go, Miss Lintillot. β
Hearing Yulian's words, Lintillot did not hesitate, quickly got out of the car, looked up, and then she found that she and the others were standing at the foot of a barren mountain, and in front of the two of them, a dark cave was waiting quietly, and there was no light inside. Julien patted Lyntilott on the shoulder, motioning for her to turn her head, then reached out and pressed a button on the left side of the helmet, and soon, a bright light shot out from there, shining in front of her.
"Use this. β
Yulian pointed.
"Don't consume the power of the soul, I think you feel it too, there is no Manna here, we only consume and do not replenish. β
"Okay. β
There is no need for Yulian to remind, Lintillot also understood what he meant, in fact, the knights will also consume Mana, but the amount they consume is not as exaggerated as that of the mage, although so, but in the current situation, it is better not to consume or not to consume, after all, the situation in front of them is like two people only carrying a bag of water to the desert that they don't know when they will be able to get out, so they naturally have to be careful.
But in this case, what if you fight?
Just as Lyntillot was thinking about this, she saw Julien hand over a strange black pipe, something she had just seen, it was the same thing that the two men were aimed at herselfβjudging by their behavior, it must have been some kind of weapon?
"Hold it. β
Seeing that Lintillot took it, Yulian quickly made a move, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the gun, pointing forward.
"Aim ahead, remember, look at the protrusion on this tube, aim it at the target you want to attack, and then snap the thing that your right index finger is pressing on -- that's it. β
As Yu Lian spoke, a dark red light suddenly shot out from the muzzle of the black hole, and then shot above the ground, leaving only a black focal shadow. This quickly aroused Lintilott's interest, and she curiously raised the thing in her hand, which Yuren called "gun", and began to practice. I have to say that this Royal Highness is indeed very talented, and in just a few times, she can already use this weapon very familiarly. Moreover, Her Royal Highness also has her own understanding of this weapon called "gun".
"It's a miniature magic cannon. β
Actually, this understanding is not too wrong -- probably.
Then, under the leadership of Yulian, the two walked into the cave like this.
There was silence in the dark cave, and under the illumination of the light, you could clearly see a thick layer of heavy dust on the ground under your feet, without any traces, and there was not even any sound when you stepped on it, which was enough to prove how desolate it was, not to mention human beings, not even other life.
The silent cave was pitch black with no end in sight, and even felt a little depressing, and the two had been walking for nearly an hour, but they had not been able to find anything but the cave, no wild beasts, no streams of water, no plants, not even human beingsβnothing.
"Mr. Yuren............ I know I'm rude, but I'm still wondering, what the hell is this place?"
Eventually, Lintillot couldn't contain her curiosity and asked. Hearing her inquiry, Yulian was silent for a moment, and then slowly answered.
"This is our world too. β
"Huh?"
"What?
"Yes......... Suffice it to say that this is our world, but in my memory, I have never seen such a landscape on the continent and have not heard of similar rumors. Moreover, such a strange costume, as well as weapons and even language, I have never heard of it............"
"And rightfully so. β
However, in the face of Lintillot's inquiry, Yulian only shrugged his shoulders and gave an understatement in reply.
"Because the world is far away from you. β
"This ......... I don't quite understand what you mean. β
"Imagine it, Lintillot. β
Yuren stretched out his hand and waved it in the air, making a large circle.
"Think of this continent as a gold coin, where the pattern is printed, is where we live, with birds singing and flowers, mountains and rivers and beautiful women, and we can breathe freely and do whatever we want. The place where the words are printed below is dry and there is nothing, and when you go out, you can only wrap yourself tightly, otherwise you will have a fatal disaster -- this is where we are now. β
Listening to Yuren's words, Lintillot was silent for a moment, as if digesting the news, and then she immediately became surprised.
"You, you mean to say that there is another continent below our continent?"
"It's the back, not the bottom. β
Julien turns a corner and "corrects" Lintillot's mistake.
"But, but ............"
Even if she is as smart as Her Royal Highness, she doesn't know what to say now.
"But......... How did this happen? I mean...... It seems impossible for life to survive in a place like this. β
Indeed, as Lintillot thought, following Julien's journey, all you see is the parched earth and the red sky, no water, no trees, no grass, and the whole world is unusually quiet, not even the wind is hard, can anyone survive in such a place? Lintilott really couldn't imagine that although when she was in the Sith Empire, she also negotiated with the barbarians living in the deserted Northland over the border issue, but at least there was snow and water all year round, and there were animals in the mountains that could be used to eat, so the barbarians could continue to live there. And if she changed the ghost place in front of her, Lintillot believed that even those barbarians who were known for their strong vitality would probably have only one way to die. However, she soon got Yuren's answer.
"It wasn't what it is now, it's the same place where you live, with mountains, water, and life -- and I mean life other than humans, of course. However, the people here are too power-hungry, and their fanatical desire to become stronger and live better, so they consume Manna unscrupulously, and finally, the Manna of this world is consumed by them, and then, the world becomes the ghost you see now. β
Hearing this, Lintillot was silent.
It's not that she hasn't learned about Mana depletion, in fact, any nobleman on any continent will learn this knowledge to avoid Mana depletion, so as to prevent damage to the environment. But she still didn't expect that Mana's depletion would bring about such a terrible change.
"I can't imagine it, but didn't the people here do anything to prevent it.........?
"When you hear someone tell you one day that drinking water will cause the continent to lack water and other creatures will die of thirst, and that only by not drinking water can you save the world, will you do the same?"
Julien unceremoniously interrupted Lintillot's question.
"The idiots of this world are already too deep to turn back, so if they are to blame, you don't have to worry about it. β
Hearing this, Lintillot was silent for a moment.
"I see, Yuren-sama, I have one last question. β
"You can mention it, I'm not a lawyer anyway, and I don't charge by the minute. β
"You say this is the opposite of our continent............ And you know so much about this continent, and you are proficient in using these strange things, could it be that you were once a resident of this continent?"
Yuren stopped.
Lintillot also stopped, she looked at the back of the man in front of her silently, I don't know why, under the cold light, Lintillot suddenly felt that Yulian's figure was a little silent.
"I am not an inhabitant of this continent, Miss Lintillot, or rather, I am one of the travelers who have strayed into it. β
As he spoke, Yulian raised his hand and pointed ahead.
"Here we are. β
After coming into this world, Lintillot thought that she would not be surprised by anything anymore, but now, when she saw this scene in front of her eyes, the Silver Queen couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Under the huge underground cavity, a desolate, dark and huge ruin stood here quietly, under the illumination of the light, like a long-dead corpse, exuding the smell of decay. It's clear that this is a city that has long since died. Although Lintillot had seen many cities, she had never seen such a city, with strange rectangular buildings towering over them, without walls, and many things very similar to the car outside were parked on the road, the only difference was that they had a quality that Lintillot was more familiar withβfour round wheels underneath their bodies.
And, unlike the decaying world outside, everything here is not just far away, on the contrary, Lintillot is keenly and instinctively aware that time seems to have stood still here. Take the huge canvas not far in front of her, for example, under the light of the light, Lintillot could clearly see a huge beautiful woman painted on it, and she was holding something in her hand to show it to someone who didn't exist, and judging by Lintillot's experience, this kind of canvas was not well maintained. I'm afraid that after thirty or forty years, it will be completely dilapidated, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to see a complete form for more than a hundred years. But now, it still remains the same, just torn apart by some external force. The ground here is the same, Lintillot can't see the dust accumulating, she can even see the white lines in the middle of the road, which makes Lintillot more curious about this mysterious city.
"This used to be my home, a long, long time ago. β
Yulian pointed to the huge black shadow below the cliff, if it weren't for the searchlight, no one would have thought that there was a city hidden there.
"And if we want to go back, this is the only place we can find a way. β
