Chapter 222: The City of the Wind (Part II)

The long trestle bridge connecting the earth with the blue castle in the rising sun was like a long staircase to heaven. There was something sticky underfoot, and the astrologer lifted his boots and found that there were traces of blood on the trestle that had not yet dried up, "Asai." Arsai. He whispered to his companion who was walking ahead, "There have been battles here, you see, bloodstains, and traces of swords and magic explosions. ”

"It's only reasonable to have had a fight. "The Midnight Star is an important mobile stronghold of the Vedas, and there must be a strong squad of Kuligara to attack this castle." ――It seems that the rebels have succeeded, and there may be a celebration waiting for us. Ahh......h

"There are ghosts when there is a banquet...... 17-year-old boy looked worriedly at the black doorway, which, no matter how you look at it, looks like the big open mouth of the blue castle.

The Venerable Gowusha quietly came to Jonah's side, "Something on your mind?" the old monk muttered in his throat.

Jonah nodded, then shook his head again, "No, nothing, just a little ...... It's just a bad premonition. ”

Along the way, Zha has recovered some of his vitality, and at this moment, although it still looks like a wandering humanoid object, he can somewhat conjure up facial features and clothing. He had not expressed any emotion all the way, and now he suddenly tugged at Zuta's sleeve and pulled Shadow Garan to prevent him from moving forward, and Zuta spoke, "Master, Jonah, Braided Swordsman. Something wasn't quite right with the castle, Zha was weak now, so he could sense the potential danger even more, and maybe we shouldn't move forward. ”

The group stopped. Asai looked at Jonah noncommittally, "Listen to you, Brother Jonah. ”

The astrologer hesitantly stood in the middle of the trestle, looking at the western land. The endless Vedic wilderness stretched beneath its feet, and despite the warm winds of the Eastern Continent blowing from above the holy river "Ancient Martyrdom", the ravaging beasts, barbarians and floods repeatedly ravaged the land, making the eastern Vedic a rich and barren desolate land. Brahma began to raise the banner of Vedic religion from within, sanctified his body, and led millions of soldiers to overthrow the ancient Buddha kingdom, and finally was completely overthrown by the rebels, and fell in front of the throne of the huge empire as a ruler.

Jonah suddenly sighed, "It seems that it will not work if you don't move forward." ”

Looking down from above, a line of smoke and dust rolls on the post road, five Vedic specialties of six-hoofed horseshoes fly, and the pursuers of the Red Brotherhood are galloping under the leadership of the heavily armed knights. These enemies can be distinguished from a long distance, the black armor is the Abyss Knight Chepp, the white-robed is the Anglican priest Mias, the yellow-clothed is the two-axe warrior Avansha, the red flame shrouded is the heir of the fire Tuva Tugan who escaped death again, and the green dress is, of course, the highest combat power in the southern continent of the Brotherhood, the terrifying "Four Outer Ways" ability user Lady Selfina.

The Dongfang also found the traces of the enemy, looked around at the scarred people, and showed a helpless wry smile: "With my current state and the remnants of everyone's strength, I'm afraid there is no way to fight...... The lady in the green dress is very scary. ”

"Let's move forward. The astrologer steadied himself and raised his staff to point forward.

The group quickened their pace and walked across the trestle bridge, and the Zuta at the end of the line drew a long knife to cut off the trestle, and the wooden bridge body of the "Boom ......Rumble" collapsed like a snakeskin with bones removed, kicking up a high floating dust. "Let's buy a little time. Shadow said with a blank face, and he reached out to push the two heavy teak gates, and the gates of the "Royal Star" slowly closed, and the light became dim.

Jonah ignited the Illumination Array. They were in the hall on the first floor of the castle, the hall covered with a gorgeous red wool carpet was empty, a few blood stains stained the carpet purple, and two spiraling staircases proded into the dark second floor, a short sword stuck in the steps, and pools of blood soaked the velvet felt on the stairs.

There was silence in the castle, and there was no sound of fighting, "Aren't there any corpses?" said to himself, a little strangely, as he walked around the pillars and up the stairs to the second floor. Venerable Gowusha followed silently, still tugging at Zuta's sleeve, looking anxious to say something, but Shadow Garan patted his arm soothingly and shook his head.

"I wonder what they used to follow us?" asked Jonah as the Oriental walked up the stairs. The floor crunched underfoot, a little harsh in the silence of the hall.

"Some kind of ability of the lady in the green dress. Asai replied uncertainly.

The light of the stars illuminates the cloister on the second floor, and the six rooms are lined up along the oval cloister, the oak doors painted dark blue are open and hidden, and the traces of combat and blood are scattered everywhere, but strangely not a single corpse appears in view. The group did not stop, and climbed up the spiral staircase to the third floor, and Jonah's eyes immediately brightened, and there was only one luxuriously decorated room on the third floor of the castle, with an irregular oval shape and more than twenty large floor-to-ceiling windows, standing in the center of the room, you could look around the surrounding scenery without any blind spots. Purple draperies, pure white bead curtains, blue screens and red carpets decorate the space comfortably, and the air is filled with the smell of incense and fine wine.

"Still no body?" the Oriental man rubbed his head and looked up at the stairs going up. The spiral staircase narrowed noticeably, becoming an inconspicuous ornament in a corner of the room, and Asai was the first to climb the stairs, and as soon as he showed his head, he exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Jonah, come and see!"

The group ascended the fourth floor one after another from the small staircase, a windowless room, with thirteen shiny crystal balls hanging on the four walls, each with a human-shaped groove under it, and in each of the figure-shaped grooves was locked with an iron lock a naked man, each man's eyes, mouth, and ears were closed by golden silk threads, and his lower body was plugged into the pipe, and his skin was pale and motionless. In the middle of the room, a large crystal ball hung from the ceiling, and the smoke in the ball circulated and changed as if it were alive.

"Don't. Seeing that Jonah wanted to step forward and untie the chains, the Venerable Gowusha stretched out his hand to stop him, "They are dead. Their souls were forcibly stripped and poured into crystal balls, and in order to keep them alive, their bodies were placed directly below their souls, making them think they were still alive in this world. This is the power mechanism of the 'Royal Star', which uses soul sacrifice spells to extract soul power as an energy source. ”

"Abominable Vedas!" said the astrologer, unable to bear to look at the men's distracted eyes, and could not help but hate them.

In fact, these people were willing to be sacrificed. After the old monk said this, he closed his mouth, unwilling to say more.

The four doors of the power room lead to four towers, each with an attack device powered by the power of the Soul Sacrifice, but no trace of it except for the blood stains on the ground. The group ascended the stairs to the fifth floor, which was also the highest open-air platform of the "Royal Star". In the center of the platform stood the quadrangle of Brahma, the dark blue terrazzo floor reflecting the sunlight, which was a bit dazzling, and several pools of blood were scattered around, but there were still no living people or corpses.

"Hell, where have all the people gone?" said Arsai in wonder.

At this time, there was a faint sound of explosion from the depths of the ground, and when looking down from the top floor, the cavalry was already hidden under the castle and could not be seen, it must be the members of the Brotherhood who were forcibly opening the door to the moving castle. Zuta jerked around and drew his long knife and headed for the stairs, "Wait. Look!" Jonah shouted, pointing to the east.

The wide dark green river is flowing quietly, and it turns out that the holy river "ancient disaster" is in front of you. The valley of this great river is deep below ground level, so its presence cannot be observed on flat ground, "Slow flow period!" the Oriental whistled in surprise, "As long as the cross-border holy river reaches the Eastern Continent, these pursuers will converge a lot, after all...... Wait, what?"

The look on Assai's face turned to surprise and shock, from shock to disbelief and sluggishness. The same look appeared on everyone's face, because the sky above the valley of the holy river "Ancient Disaster" was rapidly gathering dark rain clouds, "calalal......lala" lightning chain flew in the clouds, the viscous rain clouds like asphalt wriggled like life, compressing the heavy water vapor to the extreme, "boom ......" heavy rain poured down, it was a terrible rainstorm that Jonah had never seen in his life, every inch of space was crowded with thick rain columns, water droplets whipped the river like whips, and a turbulent waterfall that stretched for thousands of miles appeared over the river valley. The dark green water began to roar and roll, rising at a frightening rate, and in an instant it overflowed the valley and turned into a flood. The "Ancient Tribulation" of the holy river has completely changed its appearance, the earth, the sky and the river valley have become one, the dark green water has spread endlessly, the hurricane wind has stirred the flood, and the dawn has become the end of the world.

The slow flow period turned into the rapid flow period, and the glimmer of life that had just been ignited was cut off, but Jonah thought quickly at this time, and shouted: "This may be an opportunity! Venerable Gaowusha, Zuta, Asai, which of you can control the mobile castle? The enemy is still on the first floor, we are advancing towards the holy river, as long as we block them at the bottom, once the flood overflows the bottom, even the strong will be helpless!"

Venerable Gao Wusha didn't say anything, and slumped into the staircase and returned to the power room on the fourth floor. The group then rushed down the stairs and watched as the old monk held the central crystal ball, which began to buzz and vibrate, emitting a bright light. The Dongfang said happily: "Great, maybe it's really an opportunity, Zuta, let's go down and stop them, use the 'Royal Star', maybe even the holy river in the rapids period can be crossed directly!

"Understood. Zuta nodded to Jonah and staggered down the stairs. Asai patted the astrologer on the shoulder: "Good luck, Brother Jonah!"

"Good luck, buddy. The boy nodded firmly.

The Oriental disappeared at the top of the stairs, and Jonah looked at the withered old monk and clenched his staff.

"I know what you want to ask. The reason why I would manipulate this moving castle. "Actually, the power system of the 'Royal Star' was designed by the monks of the Great Prajna Temple, and the Soul Sacrifice Technique itself is the darkest chapter of the Dharma of the Buddha Kingdom. ”

The astrologer was stunned.

At this time, there was a sharp crack in the sky, the roof was torn like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, broken bricks fell one after another, the dark sky appeared overhead, and a pair of huge, golden and red wings swept with a strong wind, and the owner of the wings was clearly a gorgeously dressed man.

"Garuda, the god of the Roc bird...... Is this really your abode, and the garrisons and rebels alike have become food for the angry of you. Hey. Venerable Gao Wusha did not look up, and sighed leisurely.

The ground suddenly trembled, and thirteen male corpses let out a mournful cry, and the "Royal Star" mobile castle began to move in the dark green water, looking like a turbulent front. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the mind of D. Jonah II: "Damn, why is this always the case?"

"Adventist, we're going to get through this death together. Jonah's soul replied calmly.
