Chapter 579: The Trap of Cadolissa
In front of her was a complex building as grand as a palace and as fresh and elegant as a flower, and Liv Scherling hurried through the vaulted corridor carved in white stone, Freya followed closely behind her, and her steps carried a gust of wind. Na'er's eyes widened as she looked at the plants that seemed to grow on the walls, and green vines poked out of the cup-shaped flower beds carved under the walls, spreading up the carved walls.
The interplay of light and shadow stretches and shortens people's shadows, and the statue of the guardian of the Yu clan stands along the way. After passing through the corridors, halls, staircases, and terraces, Liv stepped into an arch carved with intricate foliage. Ivan looked up, feeling like a pillar of flowers pointing straight to the sky.
The air is starting to get cooler.
The crisp sound of water is faintly heard. The corridors here are elegantly decorated, with no growing vines, only symmetrical stone pillars on both sides, shaped like buds butt up and down. The roof resembles a starry sky, but in fact it is moonstone inlaid according to a certain law, and the floor is as clean as the surface of the water, reflecting the light points into a sparkling wave.
The sound of water gradually turns into a striking symphony, and at the end of the corridor, through an arch of leaves, the water pours down from the middle of the roof, then separates and flows into a river on either side of the rotunda. It's quieter than the waterfall, but there is also mist drifting in the sky, and the echoes in the buildings make the symphony of water infinitely long. Even more attractive than this stream of water is the strange swirling streamer in the middle of the separated water curtain.
Like a nebula, it turns silently in an endless echo, with an astonishing force that seems to suck people in. Na'er silently opened her mouth wide, and she forgot to even exclaim.
The magic of the Feather Clan?
Ivan glanced at the roof. The flow of water is naturally connected to the flower carvings that bloom on the roof, and it is impossible to see where the water is coming from. He had seen a very strange sight before—on the strange island of the inner city of Idgulashio.
"Her Majesty, two guests, this is the entrance to Cadolissa. Liv said in a clear lingua franca.
"I know here. Freya nodded, she turned and beckoned to the two humans behind her, "Come here!"
"Oh. Ivan tugged at Na'er's clothes and followed Freya into the strange nebula.
Isn't Liv going to go to the continent of Kadolissa with the Queen?
Before the incredible sight of the rotunda faded. An idea popped into Ivan's mind. He saw Liv's figure flash from his vision. Followed by...... A piece of pure white.
"Ahh He lowered his head, and Na'er grabbed his arm with both hands, and those dark burgundy eyes that were frightened and couldn't help but wonder looked around. The white space is a little familiar, not so long ago. In the inner city of Idgradhi. He had seen similar scenes before.
He remembered. At that time, the spirit of the beautiful but impersonal World Tree appeared in front of him...... Probably this is a similar magical space, right?
"Huh?"
Freya let out a sudden exclamation, and Ivan hadn't reacted yet. He fell from mid-air. At that time, in that white space of the World Tree Creation Zào, he stepped on the translucent black clock face, and this time there was nothing under their feet!
Is this also the magic of the Feather Clan?
Thump!
"Ahh
"Woo...... It hurts!"
Wrong!
Ivan gasped. The three of them fell straight into a huge crater, and a black-gold net entangled them.
Overhead, swirling nebulae innocently shimmered in the dense forest that almost obscured the entire sky, and a thick fog filled the towering trees, casting an eerie aura. Only a few bits of sunlight shine through the cascading foliage. The wind is cold, and the summer clothes can't stop the wet cold.
"Freya, this is—"
Ivan struggled to get up. The net was tightly wound, and the hard texture of the metal was uncomfortable, not to mention that Na'er hugged him tightly and stuck to him. He reached out to stop Freya, who was screaming nearby.
But no, he couldn't move! This black-gold net appeared with a layer of black-gold brilliance, obviously something magical!
It's like that time in the town of Takamo......
"Tayi, Tano, Wayacadori Sada Rosanti......" The panicked Freya opened her mouth to say a bunch of unintelligible Lomisa, and Ivan couldn't help but get irritated when she couldn't touch her.
"Hey, be quiet, we're surrounded!"
"What?" Freya finally came to her senses. She glanced overhead with wide eyes and turned to Ivan with a sneer.
Ivan was right, in the treetops above the pit, several feathered people in dark green hunting suits were aiming their bows and arrows at them, and they could be clearly seen even through the fog. Even if Ivan can move now...... If he dares to move, he will be impaled by an arrow immediately, right?
The wrist of his right hand could still feel the familiar jewel-like touch, but was it his fast movements or the fast movements of those Feather Clan archers?
He heard the Feather Clan archers conversing in the breezy language Freya spoke. Freya stared at them blankly, her expression like that of a prisoner who heard that she had been sentenced to death. Nalle came to her senses, but none of them understood Romesa.
"Freya?"
Ivan noticed that Freya's face was pale, and suddenly, a sense of foreboding soaked his body with the cold air of the dark forest. I'm afraid there's no time to hesitate!, Ivan tried to speak to Freya as he grabbed the black-gold net with his right hand.
"Freya, what are they talking about?"
The black curtain suddenly fell from the sky, and the air was instantly filled with an indescribable soft and warm atmosphere. By the time he realized that there were magicians outside the pit and had used an unknown spell on them, Ivan felt powerless. It's not because the journey is hard, but because of this magic of the Yu Clan......
He lost consciousness.
......
Crash.
It is the texture of the dry leaves.
The sound of dry leaves rubbing, I don't know where they came from, lots and lots of dry leaves, and there's a fluorescent glow that pierces through the darkness.
Completely unaware of the passage of time, Ivan awoke to find all around him large and small dried leaves. The first thing that strikes me is a very strange sense of unreality.
It's like a dream...... That feeling.
"Uh-huh......"
"Hey, Freya!"
His mind soon recovered, and Freya was nearby, only half a meter away, lying in the pile of dry leaves. Nael had to get closer. I'm afraid that they have fallen for the spiritual magic of the Yu Clan. If it weren't for the fact that he was too tired when he arrived in Arcatia City, Ivan would not have had the ability to resist at all. He lifted his hand and removed the palm-sized dry leaves from his face.
The leaves looked weird, there seemed to be a faint shimmer around the edges, or rather, the whole space looked weird.
It seems to be an illusion. (To be continued......)
