Chapter 358: Crusade against the Goddess and then become a Maiden
The legion rested for a while, and silence returned to the courtyard.
Athetana hugged the three of them separately, and in the face of Rowe's current appearance, although she was a little helpless for a while, she still gave him a gentle embrace as usual.
You......
How did you crusade against the goddess and finally turn herself into a girl......
Vimir watched from the sidelines, feeling the feeling of the mother goddess holding Luo Wei, just like the mother in the town saw her child standing at the door of the house covered in mud, and there was a helpless and tolerant atmosphere.
'How did you get yourself like this?' ’
'It's okay, come in. ’
That's probably how it feels, woo...... I'm going to ...... too!
Vimir stretched out her hands and pounced, thinking of Bishop Monica, determined to go back and see when the matter here was over.
Athetana gently stroked the hair of the two of them, and raised her gaze to look at Ayin, who was standing there.
Ayining: "......"
I...... You don't have to.
Anyway, I've already hugged it, and I really can't fit into the atmosphere of those two.
Should it be said that the safety of everyone has finally been confirmed, and it seems that I am really a little relieved in my heart, seeing that Luo Wei is not worried about Elous and her side at all, I can probably believe that everyone is safe.
But it's not over yet.
The appearance of the floating city on the north side of the Crownless City is probably the last resort of the Artisans, and they are now trapped here, unable to get in touch with the outside world, and it is not a status quo that can be safely celebrated.
Athetana apparently knew that, too.
After soothing the two, the mother goddess gently let go of them, her eyes sinking slightly.
"I'm glad to see you back, but I think it's important to tell you what I've learned."
Standing on the steps of the workshop, there was a brief exchange of information on both sides.
The changes in the outside world, as well as the undercurrents hidden in the relics of the divine war, seem to have some clues that have not yet been cleared between each other.
"In other words, the artisan will attack the courtyard, with some kind of obsession that must be achieved." Luo Wei pondered after listening.
"Hmm..."
Athetana reflected on the two days and the conversations she had heard, and confirmed in her mind.
"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the situation outside."
The goddess failed, and the uncrowned city was full of smoke, and the city appeared.
The arrangement of the relics of the Divine War by the craftsmen seems to have been planned for a long time, and it is part of the premeditation.
Luo Wei lowered his eyes and said, "When did you find out that you couldn't contact us, Artetana?" ”
The Mother Goddess carefully recalled for a moment, making sure that there was no deviation in the information she had said.
"When you fought at the top of the tower," Artetana confirmed, "I tried to activate the transfer channel for you when I found out, but the teleportation failed. ”
"Huh?"
Vimere was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Luo Wei and touched the neck ring around her neck, which was obviously ...... at that time
After the Mechanic Goddess fired that shot, she apparently returned to the Crownless City through the teleportation of the neck ring, and they were no longer on the tower at that time.
"I see," Luo Wei coldly concluded, "Is the teleportation failure of the Silent Courtyard earlier than the outside?" ”
"What do you mean ......"
"Well," Luo Wei turned to look at Ayining, "Because of this time difference, it's likely that the teleportation ban started first in the Divine War Ruins. ”
“!”
Other words......
It's possible that a teleportation facility or ritual is hidden here?!
Several people were slightly surprised to come to this conclusion, but soon found out that there was something that didn't make sense.
"But......" Vimil said, turning to look at her, "why did the Artisans hold on to taking this place when teleportation has been banned?" ”
"I'm afraid that's another story," Luo Wei said, having already conceived of this condition, closed his eyes, "which means that they may want more than just teleportation bans." ”
It really didn't make sense for the craftsman to attack the courtyard.
He only left an insurance to let Ryan send people to garrison, this is a rear area that they can retreat at any time, but for the Craftsmen's Guild, the strategic significance should not be so significant, and spending so much effort just to cut off their back road conflicts with the current situation that more people should be sent on the surface.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei looked at Vimil and Ayining, although their faces were tired, they both understood what he meant, and nodded with bright eyes.
The Silent Courtyard is their base that cannot be missed.
It only makes sense if we make sure that we dig down to the truth or avoid the chaos on the ground.
Otherwise, in the case of teleportation, you can't go through the 130th floor of the pit every time you come back, and you will be extremely passive to fight fires back and forth.
Therefore, it is necessary to take the initiative.
Before the craftsmen will achieve their goals, turn the passive situation into the dominant position in their own hands, so that all talents can converge smoothly.
"I'm sorry," Rowe decided, looking up at Arteana, "We've just arrived, but let's get things done one at a time." ”
Arttana understood what he meant, and understood that he had made a decision, so she just smiled softly.
"I'll have Belil prepare a sumptuous dinner, and the hot springs will be ready to use," she said, looking at the three of them, "Go ahead, I'll be here for you all the time." ”
"Uh-huh......! Hot spring! ”
“……”
Luo Wei smiled with feeling.
It was the right decision to ask Athetana to help.
No matter what the craftsman wanted, this time he took the initiative to provoke him.
He took out the resonance weapon and immediately set off to prepare to go, and the adventurers who stayed outside to clean up the battlefield were stunned.
They...... Do you want to go on a campaign?
Under everyone's gaze, in order to ensure the upcoming reunion, the three of them stepped into the portal to the lower level.
……
The relics of the war of the gods, the ancient city of Boya.
It wasn't too difficult to get through the layers that had already been explored, and compared to the first exploration, even if there were only three of them, the once tricky monsters were not worth mentioning.
In such a comparison, it seems that you can clearly feel the growth of strength.
Vimere jumped from the overhanging roof to the side of the ground, remembering that she had practiced her wrestling skills here, and now her ass was relieved.
"Won't the monsters attack them?" She muttered as she leaned on her staff.
This upside-down ancient city is large enough to be called a vast area, there are many monsters and dead souls along the road, and the corpses and stone tablets of angels in the city are vividly visible, but there are no traces of battle along the way.
"It's really interesting information."
Luo Wei looked down at the Resonance Device, and now they were almost at the Black Good Palace in the depths, and those black lines had gone to the next level, and merged with the small number of black lines that were originally there, and stopped moving.
the next layer.
If you guessed correctly, the next floor is the premeditated location of the Artisans' Guild.
The three of them sped forward into the dark palace, remembering that they had fought the demon god named Rugda here, and that the other party had searched for clues to the gods for them at the cost of burning the god core, but now it had become truly silent.
Across the hall, through the promenade, into the spired mission hall.
Luo Wei looked down and confirmed, and the black lines still stopped there and never moved.
"On the next floor?" Ayining raised her head and asked.
"Hmm."
“……”
As for the next floor, she was impressed, after all, she had been in trouble for herself since then.
The three of them didn't need to look for it to see the way down, after all, it was just on the floor. Before entering, Rowe glanced to the side of the hall.
A stone statue with a blurred face, laid out by the wall like a discarded debris, untouched and untampered.
“……”
He looked down and smiled.
Rugda had burned the God Core to make him pay attention to Minoni's gaze, but now the stone statue cherished by the other party is still intact, and it can be regarded as crossing back to repay him for this favor.
……
Next level.
The relics of the god war, the ancient god sky fortress.
In the deadly sky, the air fortress left over from the era of the ancient gods is like a fortress hanging at the end of the road.
"Are they still here?" Vimir moved to his side.
After all, the walkway under your feet is transparent......
Luo Wei showed the resonance vessel to the two of them, and Ayining hurriedly leaned over for an excuse, she didn't want to come to this place for a second time in every sense.
"If you're afraid of being high, don't be so reluctant, this group of people can't run."
“……”
The black line is still there, that's it.
The three of them walked through the suspended walkway and soon reached the entrance of the fortress. Vimere also remembered the original incident, and was a little nostalgic for the scene at that time, as if it had happened yesterday.
"Here ......"
Isn't that where they and Luyi first met? If I'm not mistaken, she was lying on the platform over there taking a nap~
Hey...... Don't know what Luyi is doing now? Following Elus's words, did it reassure him?
When will I become so reliable......
Ayi on the side had a dark face and didn't want to recall, since she took the crooked demon back, disciplining her has completely become her own business.
"That guy is probably being honestly seen by Elus now," Luo Wei shook his head helplessly, "Maybe Ke Qian is also with us, and maybe we'll see each other when the teleportation is restored, let's go." ”
"Do you know witches well?" Ayining frowned.
Hmmm......mm Yes, that's it, I want to ask!
Rowe pressed Vimere's face to the side, and he didn't bother to answer, leaving them to speculate on their own.
Entering through the entrance and following the guide up the spiraling staircase, the three of them lowered their steps and soon heard a fierce quarrel.
"We used to have about a hundred people, but now there are only a dozen of us left, but you told me that you haven't taken that courtyard yet?!"
"There are reinforcements that came out of nowhere, and even the phantom beasts have been defeated by them!"
"What a joke! There are battles in and out of the city, who is full of food and has air control here! ”
"So what now? We can't do this on our own! ”
The argument between the two sides subsided for a moment.
The three of them stopped at the staircase and listened quietly, although it was only two floors below the Silent Courtyard, but the area of Boya Ancient City was huge, and the passage was not only the Black Shan Palace, and the Craftsmen Guild probably didn't expect someone to chase after them.
Moreover, they probably don't have enough manpower to separate the stalking.
"Aruma will definitely not bypass us, all in all, if this matter is not completed, our new city will not be settled, and no matter how big the price is, we will have to take it."
"But this is where the progress of the relics progresses...... We don't have another node to choose from to gather the power of the Crownless City, and the Courtyard is the only key that connects the Divine War Ruins to the Mines. ”
"Then take it down! Go back now, no matter what, it's better than burning yourself to death in black fire, do you still expect the people in the courtyard to chase after you? ”
Smack.
Vimir was suddenly pushed out of the staircase, staggered two steps, and stopped there with a sluggish expression.
Artisans will: "? ”
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
The whole hall looked over, and Vimir held the staff and blinked many times in a row.
In the end, he forcibly held back a sentence:
"I ...... I'm full. ”
“???”
Someone on the field recognized her and immediately took a step back in shock.
"That's her!" The man pointed at Vimir in horror, "She was the one who defeated the Phantom Beast!" They're coming after you! ”
"What are you kidding?? Just because she's not very smart? ”
Vimere: "......"
Angry, angry!
The people of the Craftsmen's Guild took out their crossbows and were about to extinguish their mouths, but at the same time, the two people behind them flashed out, and the blades of their swords were already flashing with cold light.
Ten seconds later, all the members of the Craftsman's Guild turned into a black flame body, and then from a black flame body to a corpse.
There is no need to keep the mouth alive.
As long as there is the second seat behind the scenes, the value of the question is zero.
Ayining put the earth branch sword into the sheath, and looked at Vimir a little helplessly, should I say that her simple appearance is quite confusing, and the enemy really took it lightly at that time.
After all, she is now the talker, and it makes sense to be the first to stand up.
Shaking her head and sighing, Ayining looked at Luo Wei, who was the culprit: "The craftsmen will say quite profoundly, what do they want to do?" ”
Rowe looked up at the huge facility in front of him.
"I don't know, I just need to hear that they are in this stronghold before I can do it."
“……”
Yes, it makes sense.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, there is no point in not implementing it.
And judging from the guidance of the Resonance Vessel, there are only members of the Craftsman Guild in the very deep ruins, and the other party's actions here have ended in total annihilation.
Vimere realized she was the bait, but instead of asking how she was doing, she looked at the facility that Rowe was looking at.
"I remember...... Didn't have this last time I came. ”
"Can you see anything?"
It is a large, spherical instrument, surrounded by a variety of ring-like structures, shining and tightly embedded in the pedestal below, with a deep and mysterious atmosphere, and the light gives people the feeling of being a product of 1,200 years ago.
This may indicate that this thing was not made by craftsmen, but was hidden by them in advance, a legacy of the Age of the Old Gods.
"It should be the scene of some kind of ancient ritual," Vimir raised her hand and analyzed it with her magic power, "I can feel that it is working, and the aura of influence cannot even capture the light and dark attributes of the upper level, and I can barely perceive a ripple with the power of the Holy Maiden." ”
"Some kind of penetrating force field that overrides the elements?"
"Yes......! Well, if I'm guessing correctly, the Artisans should try to use this to turn the pit up the Silent Courtyard into a ruin. ”
"Relic?" Ayining couldn't sense the breath that Vimere said, but combined with the discussion of the craftsman's meeting just now.
Do they ......
Do you want to go all the way up and turn the entire Crownless City into a ruin?
Vermeer also expressed this opinion.
"Teleportation prohibition should only be superficial, their ultimate goal is probably to turn the Crownless City into a part of the relics of the Divine War, and then use some kind of power contained in the city as a sacrifice for the birth of their new city."
The Craftsmen's Guild has also tried to relict the magic weapons, resulting in a large number of geistins.
If you think about it that way, it was probably just an experiment they did.
"But isn't their new city already there, and why is it still there?" Ayining frowned and asked.
"It's probably not complete," Luo Wei replied calmly, "That floating city has not moved since it appeared, maybe there is some kind of flaw, and it must absorb some kind of power in the crownless city to be complete." ”
No wonder Zolman is so obsessed with the uncrowned city.
In the last round, nothing seemed to happen again after the destruction of the Crownless City, perhaps the artisans would have buried everything in the depths of the Divine War Ruins, their new city.
Will this change the final outcome?
The information obtained at the moment is very important, but Luo Wei still does not know what kind of power is hidden in the Crownless City, so that no matter how the city is destroyed, it will not be affected, otherwise he will not cut off the connection between the Silent Courtyard and the outside world before the Mechanic Goddess fires the cannon.
It seems that what the craftsmen will ask for is not a blood sacrifice of 200,000 people, but something else.
"We'll talk about these issues later," Rowe said, retracting his thoughts, "you stand back. ”
"Huh? You shouldn't ......?"
"The best way to stop them from doing it all over again is to destroy the pedestal."
The two of them retreated to the top of the stairs in amusement.
Luo Wei slowly drew the sword, and then horizontally on the outside, black magic swirling and twisting on the blade, swirling and accumulating.
Keeping this thing is a disaster after all, and if you bring it back to the courtyard, you may be used in reverse, so there is no need to take such a risk.
Then destroy it completely.
“……”
Minoni once said that she was the only pure white born out of the boundless darkness.
This power, which comes from black, extends to the essence of white.
He can't fully exert this power, but he has enough combat experience and understands the principle of the power of this world, maybe he can't say it clearly, but he remembers the feeling of his body.
Then it would be good to follow his own path on this basis.
Holding the sword hard, the blade seemed to be broken under this converging force, and the pure black magic was stained with chaotic ash, quickly spreading and enveloping the entire sword body.
This trick he had already performed on the battleship.
It was also used to defeat Ryan, and at that time he could wield the strongest sword of the upgrade.
The advancement of the "Cangyan Fluctuation Sword"——
"The Sword of Final Waves".
Raising the sword high, the gray lines were scattered and wound around the sword like ribbons, and the entire space was dyed with chaotic qi, and even the things in front of him could not be seen clearly.
And Luo Wei swung his sword at this moment-
Bang!!!
The torrent of chaos erupted, striking the orb's instrument in an instant, and the shell burst after two seconds, and then was completely annihilated in chaos inexorably.
The torrent that pierced the ball continued forward, and the outer wall of the flying fortress was pierced, shaking the ground and pouring outward.
Ayinen held Vimir and the wall, and her eyes were shrouded in a gray light. After becoming a godhead, this guy's swordsmanship is really exaggerated enough.
As the shock gradually subsided.
Nearly a quarter of the outer wall of the fortress of the Old Gods was vacant, and the clear sky outside could be seen.
And in the center of the hall, let alone the base, if you come over to see it, you don't know what once existed here, and there is not even a trace left.
The sun shone in, the air seemed to be refreshed, and Vimir stood firm beside Ayining, trying to sense it with her magic.
Teleportation...... Recovered. ”
The two looked at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After staying up all night last night, this morning rushed all the way from the Uncrowned City to the Silent Courtyard, defeated the Phantom Beast and joined Artetana, and then rushed to an ancient city to stop the Craftsmen's plan.
It feels like two months of doing everything in one day...... I don't know if I can hold it up if I can continue any longer.
"Good work."
Luo Wei walked over and patted the two of them, he was reluctant to let them rest last night, and now he knows that he is tired.
Talent, talent is not tired!
I think you need to mend your demons again.
Luo Wei looked at their reactions and smiled, hugged his arms and said, "Since you are still quite energetic, then go to the battleship to pick up the people before you go back, if you leave a certain noble imp aside, I am afraid that you will directly drive the battleship to the courtyard." ”
“……”
“……”
I think it's your own weak heart!
……
……
That night, the quiet courtyard, the workshop hot spring.
Together with Lovell, the five of them soaked in the hot springs together.
Vimere: "......"
Ayining: "......"
Artetana: "......"
Loveley: "......"
The four of them silently looked at the guy who had turned into a girl leaning there.
Not sure why.
Is it time to say that things are finally over?
After relaxing, look at the way he looks...... There's always something wrong that can't be explained......
"What's wrong?"
Luo Wei wrapped himself in a long bath towel and smiled back.
"We're all girls, so you don't have to be so shy, right?"
Four: "......"
Absolutely, something is wrong......
