Chapter 074: Burned
When leaving, Caesar set the teleportation far away, so as not to land in the lava or forest flames. www.biquge.info Although the distance is long, the accuracy of the teleportation position will be much worse. But for now, as long as you don't teleport to those dangerous areas, it doesn't matter where you go.
The light flickered, and the surrounding scenery began to fluctuate. The space is like the surface of the water, with ripples in circles. The two figures suddenly stepped out of the ripples and landed firmly on the ground. One of them lay on the back of the other, unconscious with his eyes closed.
Caesar walked out of the portal and looked around to make sure he was going down.
He now seemed to be further north of the heights of refuge for the inhabitants of Pompeii, which meant that he had crossed the heights and teleported farther away.
He shook his head helplessly, and wanted to teleport farther away so as not to fall directly into the magma, but he didn't expect this teleportation to be so far away.
There was no way, Caesar headed south. Now all we have to do is hurry to the high ground and take a look at the volcano.
It didn't take long for Caesar, carrying Alfonso on his back, to climb the heights. Worried people gradually appeared, presumably the residents of Pompeii who had successfully evacuated.
Fear doesn't seem to have completely dissipated from their faces. Some of them were terrified, and the scene of the rolling lava slowly approaching seemed to be still in their minds, while others were secretly wiping tears because they had lost their homes on this day, and still others were anxiously searching, perhaps separated from their loved ones in refuge, and are now trying to find their families.
In short, no one noticed Caesar, who was carrying Alfonso on his back.
Caesar looked at the people around him, and he always felt relieved in his heart. In the face of such a natural disaster, even a fragile life like a human being can survive.
Surviving, it's enough.
Slowly, the people around him began to thin out, and members of the escort began to appear around him.
Caesar did not stop, and soon came to the south of the heights, and a little further on could see Pompeii and Vesuvius.
At this time, Caesar saw some familiar figures.
Is that......
The figure standing on the edge of the heights was none other than the castle lord Sula. Caesar wondered if Sulla was trying to stop the magma from flooding Pompeii, and why was he here?
"Castle Lord......"
Caesar summoned from behind.
I saw that the back suddenly trembled and slowly turned around.
Sura's face was a little ugly, and the frustration between her expressions could not be concealed. The heroic posture of the past is completely gone, and all that is left is a look of amazement.
"You're back?"
Sula looked at Caesar in some surprise, and then at Alfonso behind him.
Caesar nodded, slowly crouched down, and placed Alfonso on the ground.
"City Lord, Alfonso is injured, please find some mages who are proficient in medical magic to help treat him. ”
Sula nodded solemnly and beckoned, summoning a group of mages with red ribbons on their shoulders.
"Medical team, take good care of Alfonso's friends. ”
The mage of the medical team was also so busy at the moment that he didn't even have time to answer the city lord's words, just nodded, and carried Alfonso directly from the ground.
"Little friend, can the problem of the volcano be solved?"
Sulla, who was concerned about the safety of the people, asked immediately after arranging for Alfonso, who was unconscious, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, but also a hint of uneasiness and apprehension.
Caesar nodded:
"This eruption is indeed related to the Dragon's Cave, but the problem should be solved, and the volcano should stop soon. ”
Sula finally let out a long sigh of relief after listening to Caesar's words, and her ugly face finally improved a little.
Caesar wondered, he didn't understand why the lord was so depressed.
Could it be that the casualties are relatively large?
Caesar felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he cautiously asked Sulla:
"City Lord, how is Pompeii's situation?"
Hearing Caesar's question, the sadness on Sulla's face became even stronger. He was silent for a long time, not answering Caesar's question. After a long time, he sighed again. He turned around and looked in the direction of Pompeii, his eyes filled with nostalgia and yearning, but the object of his gaze seemed so ethereal.
Caesar took a few steps forward, and when he looked around, everything in front of him was like a heavy hammer, smashing his heart.
In the distance, the originally prosperous Pompeii was now immersed in the vast magma. The ruins of countless cities are faintly revealing their former appearance from the lava, as if they are struggling. That bit of precariousness is distressing.
The streets, the houses, everything that was once gone in this blazing current. The results of the hard work of the predecessors were finally burned, and the trees that used to thrive were cut off overnight.
Snow-white volcanic ash floated in the sky, like the sorrow of heaven and earth, and like the white snow of spring.
Sulla's gaze didn't take his eyes off the wreckage, it was his home, his world, and he lost him today.
Caesar frowned, it stands to reason that the magma would not have reached Pompeii's location so quickly, what happened?
He wanted to estimate the feelings of the city lord of Sula, after all, he had just lost his home, but he couldn't help but ask in the end:
"Lord, what's going on? Why did the lava drown Pompeii so quickly? ”
Sulla's gaze did not take his eyes off, and he spoke slowly:
"Once everyone was moving, I led my team between the volcano and Pompeii to try to stop the magma from advancing. In the beginning, even though we couldn't stop the endless magma by all means, we were able to slow it down. But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for Vesuvius's outburst to suddenly become violent, and the earth trembled violently, and even it became extremely difficult to stand firm. We were caught off guard by the sudden and dramatic changes in the volcano, and the sudden surge of magma was like a tidal wave. I had no choice but to retreat in order to avoid casualties. Not long after the evacuation, Pompeii ceased to exist......"
Saying this, Sula lowered his head in frustration, and there was a faint glint in his serious eyes.
Caesar frowned, looking at the city in the magma, but his heart was uneasy.
Could it be that the outburst of speech caused by our battle with the five members of the Soul Temple intensified?
Caesar tried to find other possible causes, but after thinking about it, it was fruitless.
In this case, it is really possible that it was caused by the battle between these Holy Ranks. Originally, the outbreak of Vesuvius was due to the instability of the "Dragon Cave", and their battle obviously made it even more turbulent, so it is not surprising that this result occurred.
Sula's grief infected everyone at the scene, everyone lowered their heads, and one heart after another was immersed in the sadness of playing.
"It's fine. ”
The faint words suddenly sounded at this time, and the voice came from Sula.
Sula turned his head to look at the crowd, his gaze sweeping over sad faces one after another. Sula pursed her lips and said firmly:
"This time, although our city is gone, we all survived. As long as we work hard, we will soon be able to establish a new Pompeii again, which belongs to us. It doesn't matter if Pompeii is gone, as long as we're here, Pompeii will never fall!"
The words went from a seemingly self-muttering to an impassioned oath, and Sula seemed to convince herself, and her eyes reappeared with a glimmer of hope.
The surrounding people also picked up hope under the words of their city lord, chanting "never fall".
Caesar looked at the people who were shouting to the sky in front of him, and at this moment, the sky seemed to light up, and the light shone through the black clouds and shone on the earth.
