Chapter 375: Liya's Attachment to an Important Person (6k)
The City of the Far Wind gives Luo Xi the feeling that it is a bit like a steampunk-style city in the movie.
Metal objects are everywhere, and huge gears and axles can be found everywhere in the city.
Pedestrians on the street also had metal limbs replaced.
Due to the excessive movement of Luo Xi and his party breaking in, the alarm sounded in the city, many people hid in their homes, and a large number of soldiers were gathering in their directions.
"Look for death!"
"Stop them, otherwise it won't be like the city lord will explain!"
"A few little thieves."
"Don't be careless, he just smashed the city wall and the blessing of the sacred tree! Watch out for the sword in his hand! β
Five fourth-order transcendents fell from the sky, one fourth-order peak, one fourth-order middle, and three fourth-order beginnings.
This is what the City of the Far Wind has?
This lineup was changed before, Luo Xi must have wanted to run away after watching it.
Now, when he faced a fourth-order transcendent, he was no longer the same as before, and he could only dodge and escape.
A delicate black-haired loli-type doll appeared next to Luo Xi and slowly opened her eyes.
The Black Moon puppet should be able to hold at least two.
The rest of him on his own.
"Cat, Fia, you go find someone, I'm here to stop them." Luo Xi said.
Vile nodded, then shook her head again.
She really wanted to go to her mother, but if Luo Xi was left alone to face so many enemies here, it would be too dangerous for him to have no resurrection ability here, he was really risking his life to do this.
"Don't go yet! Come over when I solve them! Rest assured, I'll be fine. Luo Xi said in a low voice.
The other side has already greeted us.
The pitch-black shell of the Starfire was also attached to Luo Xi's body, and with the combination of dragon characteristics and armor, the terrifying aura suddenly rose on Luo Xi's body.
"Immersive, happy."
[You have consumed 2000 happiness points]
[Immersive (Happy): In this state, your character will gain a bonus of +200% to Strength, +200% Resistance to negative psychosic spells, and the duration of this talent cannot exceed 20 minutes]
Originally, the aura that was only of the third order was raised to the point that the fourth-order peak sublimator who had come over was terrified under various bonuses, and it teleported to a few hundred meters away in an instant.
What the heck?
This is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
Looking at the black armor, there were tears rolling in the cat's eyes.
Again, that's the kind of rhetoric.
If it were someone else, Wei'er would definitely persuade Luo Xi not to go over this time.
But Luo Xi is for her mother this time.
Also for her.
Aina was silent, just took Wei'er's hand and looked at Luo Xi with a pair of moist tea golden eyes, she didn't understand so many things, but she also knew how dangerous Luo Xi was going to face.
Here, they can go back at any time.
Wolf-eared Lori said softly: "Brother Luo Xi, when I see my mother, Aina wants my mother to admit our affairs." β
"Okay, what do you say?"
Luo Xi looked confused.
What admitted?
didn't have time to think about it, Luo Xi said to Fei Ya, who had been wearing a maid outfit: "Fei Ya, protect them, don't hesitate if you encounter danger, go back directly, I will deal with this side of the matter!" β
"Hmm!" Fiya nodded heavily.
She enjoys the feeling of being trusted by Mr. Luo Xi like this, so she will definitely not live up to Mr. Luo Xi's expectations.
"Senior, what about me?" Ai Xue raised her hand and shouted.
This is the first time she and her senior have acted.
"You"
Luo Xi hesitated.
Ai Xue is not like Wei'er and the others can go back at any time.
I knew I shouldn't have brought her here
"Follow me."
"Huh?"
"We're over, Mr. Rossy."
Fei Ya bowed slightly to Luo Xi, and the six tails instantly stretched out behind the fox-eared girl, and the fourth-order transcendent aura burst out violently, and the tails rolled up Wei'er, Aina, and Aya, turning into a ray of light and going away.
Someone wanted to chase them, but they were stopped by the black moon, and Luo Xi immediately flashed over, holding the Spirit Divine Sword and slashing at them, the sharp sword light made them have to dodge.
"Let's open a field together to suppress him!"
The five of them pressed up together
Logically speaking, the fourth-order transcendent is crushing the third-order, especially the existence of the realm, so that the fourth-order can crush dozens of third-order.
That's what they thought too.
I saw the pitch-black armor, and gently twisted the sword in my hand, and the golden sword shot in all directions.
[Sword Domain: After the Spirit Divine Sword is activated, it comes with at least four levels of domain worlds (the strength of the domain world depends on the user's current strength)]
Deep in the dark dungeon.
After the hearth rune sequence disintegrated, the white giant could no longer maintain its current form, turning into sand and collapsing rune points of light.
"Ahem, ahem."
Liya clutched her chest, and crawled out of the pile of sand with a pale face.
She shook the clothes on her chest and pulled the sand out of the snow-white cracks.
Fortunately, the other party did not make a killer, otherwise it is still a question whether he can hold on.
Of course, at the thought of the man's eyes treating her as food, Liya knew that she couldn't stay here for long, and she had to think of a way out before the other person returned.
The environment in this dungeon is very dark and damp.
The air was also filthy, with dust everywhere and fine cobwebs.
"This dungeon is all made of runes?"
Liya stroked the iron bar, feeling the unresponsive source element in her body, as well as the feeling of rejection coming from the wall, her heart moved slightly, she was no stranger to this.
Rune Bounding was originally what these rune magicians were good at.
The workshop in Winterfell was built in this way, with a large number of runes condensed on the six walls, and after forming an enchantment, it can forcibly trap the visitor, unless the visitor's strength far exceeds that of the caster, otherwise they will be trapped in doubt.
It's a pity that her strength is far weaker than the other party now.
It's still the opponent's home turf.
If she was given enough time, she might be able to crack this rune dungeon from the inside, but the most important thing right now was time.
Riya gently pushed the iron door of the dungeon.
Crunchβ
Unexpectedly, the iron door may have fallen into disrepair, and the lock on it was rusted, and she pushed it open directly.
Liya sighed softly.
is so casual, it seems that the city lord has eaten himself.
Not only this cell, but the entire dungeon should be the same rune enchantment, and with her strength, it is impossible to get out from the inside.
But either way, it's not her character to sit back and wait.
Liya stepped out of the iron gate and groped her way through the dark corridor.
On both sides are similar cells.
Many of the desiccated corpses were locked inside, with missing arms and legs, and even limbs cut off from the entire body, and their organs replaced with metal structures.
The more Liya looked at it, the more creepy she felt.
From this point of view, the Dawn Holy Emperor was still very prescient, and the implementation of the city lord rotation system largely solved the problem of one family being dominant and acting recklessly.
If in the Dawn Empire, someone does these inhumane things as the owner of the Divine Tree, as long as there is substantial evidence, Dawn Guard will take action to clear it.
If this time the City of Dusk didn't fall into this world, leaving the sight of the Dawn Holy Emperor, and giving AndrΓ©s ten times more courage, he wouldn't dare to do such a rebellious thing, right?
Suddenly, Lia heard a weak voice that seemed to be dying.
"Who?"
Following the direction from which the voice came, Liya took a few quick steps ahead, and when the light entered in front of her eyes, the vision suddenly opened up, and the unbelievable picture entered her eyes.
Towering altars and twisted sculptures occupy half of her vision in the underground space at a height of more than ten meters.
A naked woman was hung on the altar, her body covered with scars, and there was not a single good flesh on her body.
Beside her, there were several similar female corpses, which had been dried to something like bacon.
Even Liya, who has seen many disgusting scenes, can't help but feel a pounding in her stomach.
The woman lowered her head, her empty eyeballless sockets looking at where Riya had come, her lips slightly open and closed.
"You, you were newly captured by him?"
"Don't speak, I'll save you first."
Liya immediately walked up the steps of the altar to save the woman.
The woman whispered, "No, don't come!" β
Ria stopped.
The woman then explained, "You should also be a runemaster captured by him, right?" He's set up a rune ban here, and if you touch it at will, you'll get hurt, and I'm hopeless, my life has come to an end. β
Liya looked at the woman's terrifying face in silence.
Her life was indeed gone.
Liya asked softly, "What did he do to you?" β
"Just like you can see, blood drawing, abuse, forcible bao, sacrifice, over the years, he has been inviting runemagicians to come to this city to communicate, and also giving all kinds of generous treatment, I didn't expect it to be a complete trap, I don't know how many people have been fooled."
The woman laughed miserably: "Relying on the power gained by believing in this unknown evil god, he can extract the perceptions of us rune magic users and turn them into his own, and those women who are completely in despair will give him everything they have." β
β.β
Liya couldn't contain the anger on her face.
The flames of anger spread and burned in her heart.
Liya asked, "Didn't anyone find out about his problem?" Isn't it just women who specialize in runes? β
"Because he didn't leave everyone behind, he maintained a normal communication posture with those high-level rune magicians of men, and only some highly talented women would enter his hunting range."
The woman laughed at herself: "I originally wanted to discuss the mystery of the runes with him, but I didn't expect to come here as soon as I woke up after staying in the room he arranged that night." β
"Is there any way I can help you?"
"Help me? No, I'm hopeless, but you still have a chance to live. β
The woman whispered, "I don't know why he gave you the opportunity to move freely, but this is a godsend for you, on the wall on your right, there is a hidden room, I don't know what is inside, but you can try." β
Liya was silent for another ten seconds, and then she bowed slightly to the woman and walked in the direction she had said.
There were no gaps in the black walls.
Normally, Liya wouldn't think there was any hidden doorway here.
But with rune magic, anything is possible.
Liya put her hand on the wall, and the cold and biting wall made her whole body excited, and ice crystals were visible to the naked eye on her hands.
A pair of beautiful purple eyes lit up, and the sequence of runes hidden on the walls was clear.
Amethyst eyes, which are the characteristics of the women of the Solfia clan, give them a unique talent in the use of various spells, which can be regarded as a family-inherited bloodline characteristic.
Wei'er made her eyes light red because of the alienation factor, otherwise she would have had the same purple eyes as herself.
The whole wall looks like a whole thing.
But under Liya's vision, I still saw a flaw.
There are a few runes that are contradictory at first glance.
Runes cannot be drawn directly without primogens.
Then, use blood.
Leah bit her finger away.
A professional rune magician who can use rune spells in any environment.
She drew runes from her own blood on the walls, merging them with the original rune structures inside the walls.
It's just that the efficiency is still too slow.
Moreover, these runes belong to the natural system, not her specialty.
As the time passed, Liya's fingers gradually trembled, and she looked back from time to time, for fear that the man would suddenly appear here.
The woman asked, "Have you found a place?" There's no way in? β
"Well, these runes on the walls are not my specialty, I need time to decipher."
"What genus?"
"It should be the Department of Nature."
"Come here."
βοΌβ
Confused, Liya walked over and returned to the bottom of the altar.
The woman whispered, "Please kill me, thank you." β
"Why?"
"The sister I took before him was killed after he abused her for seven days and seven nights, and after her death, a crystal condensed on the altar and was devoured by him."
"Crystallization?"
"He said that it was the crystallization of the memories of our souls, and that it could only be fully precipitated in the most desperate moments."
The woman lowered her head and said with a poignant smile: "What I have mastered is the rune technique of the natural system, although it has not reached the level of a grandmaster, but it also has the level of a master's peak, which should be able to help you." β
"No need."
Liya rejected the woman's suggestion without even thinking about it.
If she did that, even if she could really get the other party's knowledge of rune magic, then what was the difference between her and that man?
"Please keep up, and I'll find a way to save you together." Riya said to her.
Under the woman's hollow gaze, Ria returned to the vicinity of the wall, biting her finger and drawing on the wall.
She is a genius in the field of runes.
It's just a rune construction that is dismantled, and it will definitely not be difficult for her.
One minute, two minutes.
It's been almost ten minutes since she's here.
The man would return at any moment, and the time left for her was very short.
In this extremely high-pressure environment, all of a sudden, Liya felt that her thinking had suddenly entered a state of acceleration.
The rune system, which she had never known before, was parsed in a matter of moments in her mind.
"Angle twisting, offset, chimerization!"
Rumble! β
When the last rune was affected by the rune she had drawn with blood, the black wall roared and slowly rose from the bottom up.
The woman on the altar also heard the movement.
She muttered, "Who the hell are you?" β
Obviously, all the powers have been banned, and the primitive way of drawing runes purely by relying on blood can be cracked in such a short time without understanding the 'natural system' rune technique.
The runes that men set up on the walls will never be so simple.
How talented is this woman?
"So please don't despair."
Ria said to her, "Wait for me here." β
With that, Liya entered the stone gate that had been opened.
Inside the stone gate is a small room.
Liya just glanced at it, and then couldn't bear to bow her head.
Dozens of women's corpses were taxidermy and hung on the walls, untouched, each with a look of deep despair on their faces.
There is also a door at the front.
Is it an export?
Leah walked over and put her hand on it.
Immediately, her eyes darkened a little.
The structure of the runes inside this door is far more complex than on the walls of the stone door.
It's not that it can't be cracked, but in the absence of the source element, it may take several days to slowly draw and crack it with blood.
This is no longer a talent that can be solved in a short time.
Liya smiled bitterly.
"After saying that to her, can you only wait here to die?"
Speaking of which, when did you start exploring runes?
That was when I was very young.
Her mind recalled that in the family school, the magic runes that kept jumping out of the hands of the black-haired woman who was still very graceful.
It twinkles like stars.
For her young age, those runes seemed to be toys with infinite appeal.
"Runes are a relatively remote field in the field of magic, although the sublimators who pass by can use runes, but most people are only good at getting started in their lives, if you don't have enough talent, then it's better not to touch runes."
Seven or eight-year-old Xiao Liya raised her hand and said, "Grandmother, I'm going to learn this!" β
"Why?"
"Because, it's handsome!"
"It's up to you, anyway, when you suffer a lot, you'll naturally give up, the main way of sublimation we take is the path of the magician of the creation department, it stands to reason that we should practice the rune spells of the creation department, but this is too difficult, so let's practice something else-"
"Creation? Grandmother, this sounds amazing, I'm going to learn! β
"Forget it, then you can try it first."
Spirit, phenomenon, nature, strengthening, and creation, the general classification of the five major magician paths also corresponds to different types of rune spells, but they are not fixed, after all, rune spells are skills, and those of the same class as the sublimation path are relatively quick to learn.
Now that I think back to the reason why I chose the path of the Creation System Rune Spell, I am still quite childish.
This is the price of immaturity, and it was not until she got married and had children that she came out of her naΓ―ve fantasies.
However, Grandmother didn't expect that she could reach this level with runes.
Grandmother's own rune spells are only at the mastery level, not yet at the master level, and she has already surpassed her far behind.
"In the realm of the Great Grandmaster, do you need to practice all the rune techniques of the genus to the Grandmaster level before you can be promoted?"
Liya muttered to herself: "For human beings, it may take hundreds of years to practice a skill to the grandmaster level, no wonder the number of great grandmasters is so rare, no matter what the skill. β
Alchemy, runes, pharmaceuticals, blacksmithing, swordsmanship.
No matter what kind of technique, after reaching the level of the Great Grandmaster, it has completely transcended the realm of mortals, and it can turn decay into magic.
"Have you found a way out?"
The woman on the altar was calling out to her.
Liya walked out of the stone gate and said to her:
"Sorry, didn't find it."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said sadly: "So. Then please kill me, I don't want to die at the hands of that man. β
"Why don't you think about resisting to the end?"
"I can't do anything."
"You can bite even ants, can't you?"
Ria reached the edge of the altar and walked up the steps.
Suddenly, as a ghostly light was released from the twisted sculpture, a drowsy whisper rang in her ears, and the tingling sensation of cutting flesh spread through her senses.
With every step, Liya's originally white skin was as white as jade, and the wound was blood-red as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Don't do it."
The woman shook her head and said, "I'm hopeless, even if I can live, I have lost the meaning of life." β
"Don't you want to take revenge on that man?"
"I can't do it."
"How do you know you can't do it if you don't do it?"
Liya said as she went up.
Enduring the whispers in her ears and the tingling of her body, she climbed step by step, to the highest point of this altar, and came into contact with the body of the woman who was hanging.
Just after touching it, her hand retracted.
It's not like a living person.
The woman smiled sadly: "That's why I said I couldn't do it." β
At this moment, she can still maintain a ray of life, just because the other party doesn't want her to die.
Ignoring the whispers in her ears and the wounds on her body, Liya sat on the edge of the altar next to the woman, her eyes deep:
"He, damn it."
"Yes, but bad people live for a thousand years, but good people don't live long, by the way, sister, do you have any important people?"
"I have two daughters and a lot of important family members."
"How old are you?"
"It's more than thirty."
"Hehe, then I'm my sister, I'm over ninety years old."
"There's nothing to be proud about, is it?"
"Indeed, I didn't expect to meet a kind person like my sister at the end, but it's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier."
"It's not too late to start now."
"I don't have a future."
The woman smiled and said, "But you have, do you hear the voice over there?" β
"Voice?" Liya pointed to her ear and said, "Is that strange whispering sound?" β
This sound is supposed to be the influence of an evil god.
"No, it's the souls who died in vain, they want to try."
Jumping off the altar, Liya staggered to the stone gate, and she saw that the hanging corpses were all burning.
Countless runes converged like stars and rushed into that door.
Then Liya heard a familiar voice.
"Mom!"
