Chapter 55: The Promise Before Sleep [III.]
Emilyada Shellau forgot to smile at some point, smiling from the bottom of her heart, living a puppet-like life every day, constantly training and meditating, constantly watching her friends walk into the dark room and never come out, the only mark that left them alive was the name on the pale nameplate in the main hall of the Inquisition.
Xuelu knew that if she wanted to survive, she could only close herself, put a heavy shackle on her compassion, and let indifference swallow all feelings, so that there would be no more waves and flaws in her heart. Only in this way can we survive the harsh cultivation and push our companions down the abyss without hesitation. And what he can do is to shed a tear of repentance from the corner of his eyes in his sleep on the deepest and coldest night, but when he wakes up from the dream, he is still the dual-line genius Emilyada Sherdew who makes his companions feel desperate and unsurpassable.
If Connie was Xuelu's only friend, the two walked out of the priest's practice alive. But Xuelu knew that she had always regarded Connie as her last defensive barrier, and she did not allow herself to hurt her, let alone others to hurt her. As long as Connie lives, Xuelu can suppress the violence in her heart, and Connie's survival is Xuelu's use in her practice to remind herself that she is still a flesh-and-blood person, Connie, is just a reference.
This is one of the few secrets in Shelly's heart, and her cold expression makes all those who try to get close to her understand her scarred all over her body, and only Connie can see her rare faint smile. Perhaps for Connie, this was enough, and it was her greatest honor to be able to smile a smile on her face from the cold girl who had been protecting herself in her pastoral practice.
is such a girl who almost does not have joy, anger and sorrow, but because of the appearance of Cohen, all the life trajectories have been disrupted, and she originally hoped to live a dull life for the rest of her life, so as to forget the unbearable picture in her memories, the heart wrapped in ice, but gradually recovered her pulse, making Xuelu flesh and blood, making her suddenly have the desire to obtain more powerful power, and make her want to know more about the excitement of this world.
"I smiled!" Xuelu's delicate fingers gently caressed the corners of her mouth, but her thoughts were precipitated in memories, since she entered the Inquisition, the smile from her heart bloomed on her indifferent face for the first time, just because of the improvement of her perception, and not long ago, Xuelu also expected to live a simple life as an ordinary person.
The change is so great that Xuelu can't think of what it is for a while.
"Krya, we've found something strange, come and have a look!" Duke's excited voice suddenly sounded on the other side of the suspended stone mountain, interrupting Xuelu's messy thoughts. Hearing Duke's call, Koria glanced at Xuelu, who was a little excited, and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" Xuelu cleaned up her mood a little, nodded, and floated in the direction of Duke with Coria.
After about half a cup of tea, the two of them found that the three Augustes were gathered together, as if they were discussing something fiercely.
"What's the matter, what's the discovery, August!" Coria asked as she floated over to August, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.
August glanced at Coria excitedly, raised his right hand to cast an illumination technique, and a ball of light slowly illuminated the surroundings, only to see that on the suspended stone mountain, four huge iron anchors were deeply inserted into the surface, and four arm-thick black chains were rigidly linked to the junction of the iron anchors, and what surprised everyone even more was that the circle of magic circles with golden light as the center of the iron anchor kept exuding a powerful suction, which was the huge suction force that constantly pulled everyone.
"What is this?" Koria couldn't help but reach out her right hand to touch the golden circle on the outer layer of the iron anchor.
August pulled Kolya's hand away and shouted, "Don't touch it, this may be the anti-gravity forbidden magic, and the reason why the stone mountain can levitate is probably because of this magic." The most terrible thing is that if this is an anti-gravity forbidden magic, then the strength of the magic circle's anti-devouring is estimated to make any lifeform that touches the magic array instantly crushed into powder by gravity. ”
Coria hurriedly withdrew her hand in shock, gasped heavily, and exclaimed: "I have heard of gravity magic, but it can instantly crush objects into powder, even if it is performed by a super-level earth mage, it can't achieve this effect." It's not as scary as you say."
August looked at Coria with a sneer, and said, "In the records of the Wizards' Guild, gravity magic can make objects ignore gravity, and the ultimate weight is an object the size of a standard barracks. That is, one-tenth of gravity can make an infantry regiment of 100 people instantly crushed into a seriously injured state, this seriously injured state is not a simple fracture contusion can be compared, but the whole person's bones are crushed into pieces, and the blood of the whole body instantly stops flowing and reverses, and the death is extremely disgusting. After speaking, he pointed to the golden magic circle at the iron anchor, and continued: "If this is an anti-gravity forbidden magic that can levitate this stone mountain, then how terrifying is the power in it, I don't need to say it anymore, right?" Auguste looked at the pale Coria and shook his head helplessly.
Coria suddenly felt a cool breath rush from the soles of her feet to her head, and said in her heart that if it hadn't been for Auguste pulling her just now, maybe she wouldn't even be able to find a piece of meat foam now. At this time, August continued: "Just now Captain Duke and I discovered an interesting thing, as long as our bodies can touch these chains, we can keep them floating now, I wonder if you are interested in following these chains?"
"Can we get rid of that huge suction?" Xue Lu thought for a moment, holding the iron rope in her right hand and pulling it gently, the whole person slowly floated forward, and the pull that was originally pulling at all times was not felt at all.
August smiled, "I don't have to bother with the answer, right?"
Koria hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you think?" After thinking for a moment, everyone nodded in agreement with Auguste's suggestion, intending to explore along the iron cable.
After receiving everyone's answer, August pointed to one of the iron cables and continued: "In order to ensure safety, Xuelu also has to bless everyone with the Wings of the Clear Sky and the Purification Technique, Keriya, your highness, the two captains and Xuelu are in the middle of the team, I will take the lead in front, and we will move along this iron cable." Naturally, everyone had no objections, and they all prepared according to Auguste's arrangement, and after a while, Xuelu blessed everyone with a spell, and then slowly drifted along the iron cable towards the dark night sky.
As he continued to move forward, the space that had been reflected by the dim light of the magma gradually became dark and deep, and August, who was walking in front of the group, had to cast a lighting spell to float everyone towards the unknown ahead.
At this moment, Auguste was extremely disappointed in his heart, the appearance of anti-gravity forbidden magic meant that this stone mountain was not the burial place of the legendary immortal fire Arnold's secret treasure, before he was so excited to take the lead in exploring the suspended stone mountain, the main purpose was to see if there was any place around the mountain where the treasure could be hidden, but he didn't expect that after a circle, in addition to the discovery of the magic array, the entire stone mountain could not be found except for stones or stones, and even a plant could not be found. On the other hand, it's worth it to see such a powerful anti-gravity forbidden magic.
"Do you feel a little cold?" Duke asked suddenly. Everyone said that this place was so close to the lava waterfall, and it was not bad if it was not cooked, so Duke must be a heat hallucination, right?
"No, look at the iron!" August's exclamation finally made everyone's hearts tremble for no reason. I saw that the originally black iron cable was illuminated by the faint light of the illumination technique, and a layer of silver-white frost faintly appeared in everyone's sight, and everyone spit out a white mist between their breaths.
"The temperature has indeed dropped, maybe Xuelu's purification technique can balance the temperature difference, so we didn't feel the change in temperature for the time being, fortunately, Captain Duke found out in time, otherwise we don't know what will happen when we rush into the hinterland. August breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for the group to gather for the time being.
Xuelu reached out and touched the frost on the iron chain, the cold feeling instantly spread all over her body, and an indescribable feeling of comfort made her can't help but gently rub the black iron chain, then looked at Auguste and asked, "Then we will continue to explore?" August looked at the dark and boundless space, the four iron cables were swallowed by the endless darkness without a trace, and along the illumination, the black iron chain gradually turned silvery-white, and a thin layer of frost gradually came into view.
"Snowdew, how low can the Purification Technique withstand?" asked Auguste.
"The frostbite caused by the high-level Glacial Heart is basically immune, but the duration will be reduced due to the sharp drop in temperature, as long as it is not the absolute zero damage of the forbidden spell-level Winter Hymn, it will definitely be fine for about an hour. Xuelu replied cautiously.
"Half an hour, if nothing is found within half an hour, we will directly turn back to the Suspended Stone Mountain and find a way to contact Cohen, the key person who can leave this place must be Cohen. Everyone's okay, right?" said Koria after pondering for a moment.
"Let's put on these Loren warm coats to protect against the cold!" Duke and Dylan also pulled out six heavy snow-white fluff coats from nowhere. August turned out his coat, rubbed the fluff of his coat vigorously, and said with a smile: "The hard-to-find Loren warm clothes, I didn't expect you to have so many Commander Duke, it seems that you have indeed made a bloody investment in the Lion Crusader City this time." ”
Duke sighed, his expression was gloomy, and said: "At that time, in order to hurry, I went directly through the Ice Dragon Valley, the extremely cold forbidden land, and more than sixty people confessed in that hellish weather, even the old butler who had followed me for thirty years disappeared in the blizzard, and it is estimated that it is more than lucky." Forget it, let's not talk about it, people can't be resurrected after death, so I, Duke, owe them a life. When I return to the county capital after this deal, I will compensate their families well. After saying this, Duke slowly put on his coat, walked to August's side dejectedly, and said no more.
Everyone naturally understood Duke's mood at this time, and they didn't say anything more, they all put on warm clothes, and August took the lead, leading everyone to slowly float along the iron cable.
