Chapter 236: The First Meeting
With the sudden sound of speech from above, the stable space in the tower suddenly vibrate. The warm sunlight shining in from the "window" also rippled in circles, and the warm breath that was originally like the afternoon sun disappeared, only the inexplicable chill was gradually seeping into the qiē.
A low sound of flowing water came from the top of the tower, and when the two of them looked up, they could only see black turbidity flowing slowly from above. They are like flowing black mud, painting everything they touch with their own colors, but in a matter of moments, they have swallowed most of the tower's walls.
"These black ones are ......"
Curt stared at the black that hung down like a waterfall, and his face looked a little ugly. This looks a little similar to the image before the stone tablet collapsed, but the scale is slightly larger. On the path of these fluid-like darkness, every qiē in the tower left a crack that was about to shatter.
Large quantities of black debris fell from the sky like snowflakes, falling silently, disintegrating into countless motes of dust that were difficult to see with the naked eye before they could fall to the ground. In a few moments, the sunlight had completely disappeared, and the tower, which had been wrapped in black debris, had become the same material as the outer wall.
Pale moonlight poured from the sky, seeping directly into the entire body of the tower through the large hole at the top of the tower. The dim light folded in the glass-like material, painting the creature that had been swallowed by the pitch-black turbidity in the tower with a faint silver glow, like hoarfrost covering the ground in the early morning.
"I'm afraid that's what the tower really looks like...... Although no trace of the illusion spell was felt, it was clear that the scene was not real. ”
Lizzie's tone didn't change in the slightest. But his eyes became much more serious: "You just ran into a certain 'key' location, that's why the stele became what it is now." Now that even the tower has become like this, there must be someone who has hit the biggest key point. ”
After being washed away by the darkness, the tower was left with a scene like ruins - as Lizzie said, this scene of decay was the most desolate form of a deserted tower left in the ruined capital than the first glitz and glamour of the scene.
The stone monuments that stood everywhere showed a large number of cracks like the one that Curt had touched, and the stones that made up the stone monument's shell also fell one after another under the pull of gravity. The fragile scrap hit the ground and disintegrated into countless fragments that eventually piled up on the edge of the pedestal.
In a moment, all the steles had peeled off to the core—and as expected, they were the same as the original. The interior of each is enclosed with a large gray crystal. And inside them. Without exception, a human-shaped corpse was blocked.
Those men were probably tortured before they were killed, and their faces were horribly distorted before they were completely rotten. They were treated similarly to the victim - their chains-pierced bodies had been shattered into pieces, and their joints were embedded with sharp spikes.
There are as many steles as there are wreckage, and these humans look like living sacrifices for some kind of ritual. Brutally killed. Moment. Curt's eyes flashed to what he had seen inside the Colossus of Rock. The slain Slots suffered somewhat similarly.
The statue of the giant behind him did not change much, but it was washed by the pitch-black turbidity current with a thick layer of sludge, and the appearance of the whole giant became more hideous. The shiny black shell is covered with undulating lines. They vaguely form a large tree-like coat of arms.
The sun crest he trampled under his feet was completely eroded by the sludge, and even the most devout of his faith might not recognize it. The last bit of magic was gone, and the entire fragment of the coat of arms had lost its original color, reduced to a greasy mass of invisible shape.
All those beautiful ornamental patterns were piled up at once, turning into distorted faces, wailing in pain in the dark depths.
The scene as warm as a garden turned into an altar full of corpses in a moment, but the two of them were obviously unmoved. I don't know how long these corpses have been dead, but something that is slowly descending from above exudes an astonishing sense of existence in this cold ruin.
If the magical power of the two of them is as striking as a torch in this dead world, then what is now descending from above is simply a burning fire on a lighthouse. A large amount of magic power was tightly wrapped in the body of the person who appeared above, and there was no trace of it escaping in all directions.
The demonic power on the body of the comer has reached an order of magnitude that has never been seen before, not to mention Cruise François, I am afraid that even the vast majority of demons can only reach this capacity. The scorching glow emanating from that silhouette was like a raging flame, leaving a trail of light on the retina.
What kind of monster can have this level of demonic power? Curt inexplicably thought of those who were in the highest position of the demon clan and were known as the "Demon King". Although those guys may not be invincible opponents if they fight with all their might—but if they do, the chances of victory may be less than 20%.
The other party is not an enemy to take lightly, and although Curt and Lizzie are still silent, they have already adjusted their bodies to the situation of battle.
However, I don't know if it's out of confidence in their own strength, or if there's really no hostility, but the other party obviously doesn't regard the two of them as enemies. The figure adjusted its stance in mid-air, then slowed down with some leeway, allowing itself to land lightly on the top of a stone tablet.
"I thought I was the only one who came to this world out of boredom, but I didn't expect to see you two stupid brothers and sisters in such a place. His leisurely tone seemed to be mocking the two who were waiting for him, but the hint of familiarity contained in his words made them feel a little surprised, "Speaking of which, it's been some time since the last time we were separated, how are you two doing lately?"
Standing on the stele for a long time, looking condescendingly at the two of them, the visitor was a young man dressed in a strange costume - or a young girl, whose face gave a neutral feeling, like a handsome young man who had not yet escaped his childishness, and somewhat like a slightly boyish girl.
The gray garment had a strange texture, like the outer layer of leather absorbing the excess light around it, and there were metal plates inlaid in key parts to strengthen the defense. Although it has good mobility, the loose structure also perfectly obscures the curves of his body.
From his physical appearance, Curt was completely unable to distinguish his gender, and his slightly sturdy body lacked gendered curves compared to Lizzie's. After struggling for a while, he decided to call it a "teenager" for the time being, after all, it was too rude to ask the other party's gender as soon as he opened his mouth.
And whether he is a man or a woman, both of them can be sure that he is definitely not on the list of people they know. But the other party stared at the two of them with the eyes of people they knew in the past, and their casual attitude was as if they were chatting with old friends, without the slightest restraint.
"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"
Curt took two steps forward, hid Lizzie behind him, and said to the boy, "If I forgot, then let's apologize here...... But I really don't remember who you are. In fact, I have never seen a magical structure similar to yours, not even anyone with this magical power. ”
This is not a lie, although the appearance can be disguised with a spell, but if you want to cover up the image of the magical structure, it is difficult to do without special skills. It has nothing to do with the amount of magical power, it only requires some relatively special camouflage skills.
But they can guarantee that none of their acquaintances have mastered these techniques, and they have never heard of a trick capable of expanding the capacity of mana to this level. As a human, the total amount of magic can easily reach its limits - unless you find knowledge beyond the realm of "human".
"Alas...... How could it be that 'never' of you?" The young man who was questioned by Curt was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face showed a slight stiffness, "If I'm not mistaken, you two are indeed Curt Leinster and Lizzie Leinster, right?"
The boy gave their names accurately, but neither Curt nor Lizzie had ever seen the boy - not even the slightest picture. Perhaps it was because Curt's question gave him a certain amount of shock, and he looked a little nervous when he spoke.
Taking advantage of his helplessness, Curt carefully observed the boy, and although the magic hidden in his body was huge, it was full of flaws like a person who had not been trained in combat. If you only count his own strength, he is definitely a rather dangerous being, but the unprepared appearance of danger in front of him seems that he is just an ordinary person, and he should not appear in this barren world.
Or is this the surplus of being a strong man? Because there is nothing around that can hurt him, there is no need to be cautious about Yiqiē - if the young man in front of him is really strong enough to do this, it is not impossible to expose such a gap.
This is difficult for Curt, who has always used the thinking of the "weak" to understand, and perhaps just a little ordinary Liqi may not be able to understand the other party's thoughts.
"Ah, maybe so. ”
After a moment, the boy clapped his hands, "Then let's do it all over again...... good evening, Mr. Curt Leinster and Miss Lizzie Leinst." I'm just a ghost from the past—and maybe a friend you'll meet later. ”
He bowed slightly and saluted with a smile on his face. (To be continued!)
