Pillars of Ita

Fang Plover pushed the stones off the cliff with his feet, and the alchemist's thick boots pushed forward like an unstoppable chariot, causing the fine sand and stones to roll down along the sloping surface of the street, in the darkness. There was a faint sound.

He patted his gloves gently and turned around. As far as his eyes could see, in the distance, the middle area of ​​the ruins was filled with twisted and cracked streets. In some places, the inclination angle reaches an exaggerated 60 degrees or more, like a towering wall. The stone base of the street cannot bear the weight of the city itself and collapses, presenting a scene of sharp angles intersecting and fragmenting.

The ancient city fell into the valley like a meteorite. The entire city was at a certain angle, and the upturned part became the uppermost layer of the ruins. There was the temple area of ​​the Solar Age, where the nobles and priests of the snake people and the rulers of the city lived. The place.

It can be imagined that those scaly nobles once wore gorgeous clothes, spoke elegant and ancient language, walked on the wide and clean streets, talked to each other, held sacrifices, and presented gifts to the saints, but now everything has become weathered. dust.

Only the silent hall remained, echoing the roar of thousands of years.

There are many temples in the temple area, most likely to contain the heritage of the Sinsas era. There stands the tall Sun Temple. The snake people built a shining spire on the top of the ancient city. The shining thing should be the crystal obelisk at the top. .

Fang Plover has never seen a luminous obelisk, but it may be related to the owner of this place, the Tower of the Sun-Aka. Some people say that it is the past life of the God of Light, Alli. This statement has not been supported by the Saint of Light. The Lord’s certification, but scholars have indeed found many supporting evidences from history.

The obelisk may represent a holy lord, and the one here is the obelisk of Ta-Aka, but Fang Plover did not do much research on this. He only had a quick glance in the underground of Fenris, and it has not been seen again since. Sylvester also showed him a text inscribed on another minaret, but the words on it were completely unrecognizable.

Even Jita couldn't recognize him.

The upper temple area was the most completely preserved, so Fang Plover left it to Tianlan and his group, and also asked his ship officer to stay there, out of a little selfishness - because it was obviously safer there.

However, this is not entirely due to this consideration. Sylvide now has mastered the blessing of the earth element and has a different perception of the earth and environment, which is more suitable for guiding the way in the complex temple area.

Fang Plover didn't really expect that Rodrigo de Andres's secret treasure would be in the upper area. It was too conspicuous there. The dazzling obelisk was enough to attract the attention of all coveters. The pirate king should not put his The secret treasure house is located in such a conspicuous place.

The middle area is a civilian area. The civilians in the snake people era are very different from today. To be precise, they are free people who are responsible for war and tax obligations. They are like the 'trust gold' among the lizard people. Only good family members can The right to meritorious service in war.

In addition, there are a larger number of slaves and untouchables, most of whom are lizards and ancient elves, as well as snake-men prisoners of war from other countries. However, those people cannot live in the city, and their residences probably do not appear in the city. Within this ruins.

The criss-crossing streets and densely populated low-rise houses are symbols of civilian areas. Those fragmented streets all look the same. The area is vast, and it is unlikely that there is anything valuable hidden there. But if the Pirate King's treasure trove is here, The area should be quite conspicuous.

Fang Yu was handed over to Luo Hao and his team, and Cui Xisi and Ji Ta were responsible for searching the open area quickly.

Finally, there is the lower area.

Only then did Fang Plover look at the dark area, where the ancient city first fell, creating a bottomless pit in the underground cavity, filled with boundless black mist, like a vast ocean, with only The tops of a few buildings are still floating on the sea.

Just by standing on the edge, he could feel the cold air, which made his hair stand on end.

The ring of golden flames is very sensitive to the aura of darkness, and the blue brilliance in the body seems to be unable to hold back, issuing warnings one after another. If possible, Fang Yu would rather stop here and not take another step.

The maid stood silently and watched for a while before asking: "Where is down there?"

"No one knows," Odais replied: "People think that the Sun Saints perished together with the Snake Man's empire, but the fallen gods are not really dead. The will of the declining powerful existence will linger in the sea of ​​light. If they cannot return, they will be swallowed up by nothingness..."

"They once guarded the kingdoms of Sinsas during their lifetime, and their will will naturally linger in them after death. No one can say what is down here. It may be a kingdom of the dead, but that's okay. It's just a realm of death. The real The terrible thing is decay.”

"Death realm?"

"According to our words, it is a dead zone," Fang Plover said: "The starlight has no effect here, but it is not harmful to ordinary people. Death here will cause the starlight to decay, because the body cannot return and becomes undead. The existence of the aboriginal people is that death will consume more starlight, but if it is the chosen one——"

Siesta looked back at him: "What will you do?"

"This is the blind spot of the Star Gate." A figure appeared, and Miya appeared beside the two of them - she shook her pointed silver ears and looked down, "If you die in this place, you will be sent away. Back to another world.”

The maid looked at the wolf girl, but thought for a moment and did not speak again.

The purpose of Sylvide's order for her to come here was naturally to take care of someone, but she knew very well the strength of the woman in front of her, and there were some things that she didn't need to intervene in.

Miya looked at Fang Yu and said with a tone that she could not refuse: "It's too dangerous down here. I will accompany you from now on."

"Miss Miya," Fang Piao sighed. His original intention was to let Miya stay on the ship because someone in the empire might be able to recognize her identity - but he received a communication from Mei not long ago telling him about this lady. Already disembarked.

Maybe Miya has been following them from the beginning, but she didn't encounter any danger before, so she never showed up.

Fang Plover looked at Odais. He believed that this goddess was not even capable of protecting himself and Siesta. But the wolf girl also looked at the goddess, her eyes full of distrust, and the meaning in her eyes was obvious——

She was worried.

"Okay," Fang Plover realized that there was little point in trying to reason with the other party - just like it was at Dawn Star, "You come with us, Miss Miya."

The wolf girl nodded, obviously not caring who was dominant.

"What is decline again?"

Siesta asked again.

Sylvide asked her to protect Fang Plover, so no matter who is around her, she must understand what she is going to face.

"That is a more advanced concept than the Dead Zone," Miya took the initiative to speak, but she thought for a moment and couldn't find any words to explain it. "It is a country with different laws from the world we live in. It usually Not in the main material world, but in a region between the material world and the gray world.”

Odyss explained calmly: "The junction of life and death."

"In the beginning, our world did not have the concept of death. All life circulated and reciprocated among the stars, forming a cycle. But because death itself was too pure, when the first god returned to death - perhaps because The war between gods and gods may be due to the fact that the star itself will decline..."

"In short, when the first death came, the concept of death appeared in this world and became a law."

"In the following time, more and more deaths were born, and even the star itself would be dimmed. In the long period of time, all the decaying things in this world and the concept of death itself constitute a realm, and the dead country."

"Under the sea of ​​light, dead water and dead ice form a shell. The area under the shell that never sees the sun - because the sun has also died in this world - is the gray world, the area between the shells. Above, is the place of decay of the elements, a sea of ​​death and silence that stretches across."

"The Abyssal Sea," Fang Plover took over, "is the river of the dead, the final place of all floating continents, the history and glory of civilization sink into it, and life declines along with it, and stars naturally shine in it. Loss.”

Fang Plover took out the rope, hammered the iron nails into the ground with a rocket flying fist, then put on the rigging, and dropped the rope loop. The rope hung down nearly a hundred feet long and disappeared into the darkness.

He stood up at the same time and looked down, and then made an analogy:

"It's like there..."

"Just like time is accelerating its decay, people will live their lives in a short time, from birth to old age." Miya finally found the accurate description. "Only the stone slabs of the ancient sea can last forever in it, and everything else will turn into dust. If that If the broken laws below are really connected to the abyss..."

"Then you really have to be careful."

"It doesn't matter, I will protect you," Odaisi looked at Fang Plover's actions and reached out to hold his hand. "No need for this," she said, reaching out to Siesta with her other hand.

The maid seemed a little uncomfortable, but she didn't object.

Miya on the other side watched this scene, and understandingly stretched out her hand to hold Fang Plover's hand. At this moment, a ray of light appeared from the goddess, and the next moment the three people's eyes appeared in the black mist.

The teleportation made Fang Yu feel dizzy.

But at that moment, he still noticed something, and couldn't help but look back at Miya, who met those silver eyes. The latter nodded to him with some understanding, and there was a trace of thoughtfulness in his eyes. color.

The two of them looked at Odais. The goddess in warrior attire had withdrawn her hand and was looking at everything in the black mist. As she said, her expression seemed a bit strange, and it was obviously her first time in this place.

Fang Plover looked back. The cliff he came down to was about a hundred meters away. The rope hanging from the top could be used as a way back, which was not harmful.

The maid on the side had already put on the arm armor and made the crystal on it glow softly. She raised the crystal, but the light shone into the range of the black fog, as if it had hit a thick wall, but the fog was dispersed ten times. When you come to a foot, you can't move forward again.

Fang Yu took out a clockwork fairy and threw it forward. The shell of the construct reflected the light of the crystal, and the surface exuded a golden luster, but the light quickly dimmed, as if something had happened. It turned green and rusted, and the hinge that drove the membrane wing was no longer smooth. It made a clicking sound, disintegrated in mid-air, and fell down.

Fang Plover took a breath of air.

"When we were in the second world, we explored the depths of the Abyssal Sea more than once," Miya said while looking at this scene. "That place is also connected to the declining kingdom, and the magic tools and combat equipment are like a layer inside. Ash makes it unusable, and may even lead to damage due to erosion.”

"The combat professionals who rely on the magic furnace are no different from ordinary people. Every time, the major guilds spend a lot of money to retrieve some valuable objects, stone slabs, or other things from the abyss. ," she looked at the foggy world, as if remembering her past experience, "The whole world is shrouded in a thick layer of dust, so it is called the gray world, but the Yuanhai is just the gray world. A corner.”

"This place is indeed very similar to the depths of the abyss, but going down from the elemental layer to the abyss is a gradual process. The further you go down, the more dead the declining world becomes," Miya added: "But there is life here. The boundary with death is so clear, this layer of mist is like a clear boundary between two worlds, even I have never seen such a sight."

Fang Yu remembered something and realized something: "...Wait a minute, that may not be a real mist, but a dead starlight. The decaying elements and ether formed a vacuum area here. "

As soon as he stopped speaking, he suddenly reacted——

Since the starlight of the chosen ones does not come from themselves, but is connected to the star gate, in the area where the starlight is dead, they naturally cannot get in touch with the star gate.

This is the origin of the Dead Zone, and all mortal equipment is driven by magic power, and starlight is the lowest element that makes up the ether and elements. Without starlight, everything will be lost.

When he first encountered the Dead Zone in the Elven Ruins, he still lacked knowledge of the nature of ether and starlight. More importantly, he had never really seen what the starlight of death looked like, so he was still unable to understand the nature of the Dead Zone. .

only……

Why does the starlight here corrode the magic device itself?

Fang Yu suddenly thought of the dark crystal and the encounter with their world described by the shadow man.

The empty starlight will instinctively swallow the existence of the world, like a black hole that cannot be filled. Even if the shadow people finally realized the disaster was coming, a large number of holes still swallowed up their world.

So the starlight here... is actually more similar to some kind of void...

But among the ruins of the Sinsas era, how come there are so many exhausted stars? They are stacked on top of each other, forming a cold world filled with the stars of death. No wonder such a place is called the border between life and death.

This is not death in the ordinary sense, but conceptual death.

On the other hand, this place is connected to the Abyssal Sea. Is there a wider, dead world under the Abyssal Sea?

But the existence of the Abyssal Sea is even older than the Snake Man Empire itself. Before the arrival of the first and second disaster stars, who caused these dead stars? Before the fall of Shadowman's world, there was already a dead world in Etalia?

But why didn’t the Abyss swallow up the entire country above the sea of ​​clouds?

Fang Yu was filled with doubts, but Odaisi's voice brought him back to the real world, "Be careful of those fogs, they will cause all materials in this world to decay, even the world itself. Only in my domain can I keep you safe." .”

She then specifically said to Fang Plover: "I can make your clockwork goblins fly out of this area and maintain it for a period of time, but it will only last for less than a quarter of an hour. If you don't want to lose them, you have to let them return to me before then." Boundary area.”

Fang Plover nodded.

He could feel the invisible 'country' around the goddess Odais, slowly moving forward with her steps. It was actually full of starlight, and the infinite ether power surging out even suppressed the surrounding people for a moment. Death and annihilation.

One almost thinks that they can fill the void in the black mist.

"That's just an illusion," Odaisi said: "My power is not enough to fill the void here and rekindle the dead stars. A dead god created this area. Its former power is far beyond More than me.”

"So," she reminded seriously, "you don't have much time left. You must find Rodrigo's treasure house before your power is exhausted."

Fang Yu was not so pessimistic. He shook his head and said, "The pirate king's treasure house may not be down here. We can go back and reorganize. Maybe there will be good news from Luo Hao and the others. We just need to be prepared." That’s all.”

But Odyss shook her head and did not answer.

Fang Plover released more clockwork fairies, and with the blessing of the goddess's power, they flew out into the darkness. The pirate king accumulated a lot of wealth in his life, and his treasure house would not be a small place. In this full land It should be relatively conspicuous among the ruins.

As he expected, a quarter of an hour was enough for the Clockwork Goblin to fly across a wide area, not to mention his Silver Bee - he had no intention of letting these constructs return. Compared with this loss, time was more important at the moment. Some.

Soon, he found his first target.

The impact destroyed almost everything in this area. The collapsed buildings had long been broken into rubble and turned into dust under the erosion of death. Only a few broken walls were left. This was because the elemental force in the solid was not active. .

The more active the magic power, such as magical equipment, is, the easier it is to be assimilated and corroded by the starlight of death.

Among the rubble, he found a tall building, standing like a spire in the center of the ruins. There was a huge door under the spire, and the opposite door was sealed in the still time. The door and the outer facade of the spire All were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Fang Yu thought of another detail. Odais had the ability to bring them to the lowest level, but the pirate king Rodrigo and Adni's father were just mortals. How could they come here?

And is it really okay for the pirate king to put his treasure trove down here? The dead starlight will corrode everything. There should be a large number of magic-related products in the other party's legacy - especially the legacy left by Adni's father, not to mention that there might be an exclusive factory for him. Square.

If the treasures were just dead things like gold and silver, they wouldn't be so attractive.

He withdrew his eyes and expressed his opinion to Odais and Miya. After hearing this, the goddess thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but be careful not to make a big mistake."

Fang Yu nodded. He would come here in person, so naturally he had this intention. But when he looked at Odais, he always had a strange illusion in his heart. He always felt that this goddess seemed a little too sure.

She clearly has some special feelings about this place.

"I have a question, Lady Goddess," Fang Plover hesitated, and finally asked, "Have you ever seen Rodrigo Gordon land on this island with your own eyes? When he built his own island in this ruins Did he ever see you when he was in the treasure house?”

Odyss was silent for a moment.

"There are some things that I can't tell you immediately," she said after a long time, "but I can promise not to deceive you. The fact is that I have never seen that mortal, because my recovery time was after that."

"Resurrection?" Fang Yu was a little surprised, "I don't quite understand what you mean." "Wake up from a deep sleep," Odaisi replied: "My birth is different from yours. Mortals need to go through infancy. Mature, but I have mastered the laws and powers as soon as I wake up, as if they are part of me and are innate."

"Like the birth of a god?"

Fang Plover knew that those powerful natural spirits were born because of people's worship. Whether it was the gods of the lizard people or the gods of the fish people, they all came from this. As soon as they were born, they controlled a certain aspect because of their concepts. of power.

This kind of power is mostly protection, just like Odais can protect the island from the storm. It is the embodiment of abstract concepts, born from the aggregation of powerful ideas, and naturally shows strong tendency.

In other words, the common will of the islanders gave birth to such a secondary god.

But is it really possible? There are only a few thousand native people in the Storm Islands. If such a small amount of human thought can give birth to a god, then wouldn't the Empire and the Kingdom of Kaulin-Ithurian be filled with gods?

He vaguely guessed that there might be something special about this island, and it was undoubtedly related to three things - the Pirate King's treasure house, the ether node that the Empire was searching for, and this ruin. 's secret.

Fang Yu suddenly realized something: "Goddess, do you think your recovery is related to the pirate king's treasure house?"

Although this inference sounds a bit bizarre.

The legacy of a pirate king would give birth to a god. This sounds a bit fanciful.

But the concern Odais showed for Rodrigo Andris's treasure trove, and the ways she directed them to come here, seemed to be beyond the scope of what a god should be interested in.

And this goddess has never concealed this.

What's more, what are the restrictions in Rodrigo Andris's treasure trove that prevent a god like her from getting close? She needs to rely on them to bring her to this place so that she can enter this ruins?

Fang Yu didn't believe that the pirate king was so powerful. If that was the case, he shouldn't have put such a thing in the secret treasure house, but used it to fight against the empire, otherwise he wouldn't have been defeated and died. end.

Thinking about it carefully, this situation can only occur because something in the treasure house is deeply related to the goddess - it reminded him of the lanterns in myths and legends. In fact, Atari There are similar legends in Asia.

Maybe a contract?

Odaisi shook her head and did not answer: "We must find the ether node as soon as possible. After entering this ruins, my perception ability was a little confused. Perhaps it was because of the influence of the dead gods here. I can block the coming from It can naturally block mine from peeping in the dark.”

Fang Yu nodded. No matter what, finding the ether node was the top priority at the moment.

He put away the remaining 'Silver Bees' and led the two of them in the previously determined direction. If the birth of Odais was really related to Rodrigo's treasure house, this would also explain why this goddess Will know where this treasure house is.

Although the more powerful the god, the stronger his cognitive ability, this goddess obviously does not show that kind of omniscience and omnipotence. The lady worshiped by the islanders only has some understanding of this sea area. .

The four of them soon arrived at the spire.

Odyss shook her head as soon as she saw the tower: "Not here."

"Goddess, do you recognize the pirate king's treasure house?" Fang Yu was startled and asked immediately.

"I don't know," the goddess shook her head, "but I know it's not this place. Don't get close to this tower. I can feel that there are some hidden dangers in it, which have nothing to do with the god. What's underneath is..."

Before she could finish her words, the communication crystal in Fang Yu's hand lit up, and a rapid voice from inside interrupted the communication between several people: "Brother Ed, it's Naga, they are here! I, I I saw them entering the temple area from another direction...Sister Sylvide was taking us to the inside of the temple area, trying to find a way to avoid them..."

"You should be careful and think of a way to remind Brother Luo Hao and the others that we can't contact them. There seems to be a problem with the communication between the two worlds."

Fang Yu was startled. He didn't expect the Nagas to arrive so quickly. However, it was generally expected that Naga would find this ruins. And just as he thought, the obelisk above attracted everyone's attention. Even the Naga family went in that direction first. .

He is not very worried about Sylvide's safety. The elemental blessing's perception ability is fine for other purposes, but it is more than enough to avoid danger. The interior of the temple area is complicated. If they want, they can go down to the middle level at any time. area.

But why did the communication between the two worlds go wrong at this time?

Fang Yu couldn't help but complain. This was not the first time communication between the two worlds had problems. Although it was not 100% reliable in the past, there had been several large-scale failures in history. But less than half a year has passed since the Battle of Elpaxin, and communication between the two worlds was once again paralyzed in such a short period of time. This has never happened in the history of Stargate Port.

Fang Yu secretly complained while opening the community. As expected, the display was blank. The Stargate Network did not have the ability to go offline, so even the past history could not be seen. The entire community showed an error status.

The team communication ability between the two worlds naturally loses its effectiveness at the same time. No wonder Tianlan uses the crystal to contact them. In the absence of a team channel, the crystal can only communicate one-on-one and one-way. The contact crystal on Luo Hao's side is also only He only has one.

Fang Yu immediately took out the crystal and lit it, but before he could speak, there was a seemingly unreal explosion from the other end of the crystal, followed by the sound of a large amount of sand and stone rolling down.

"What's going on?" Fang Pulou became nervous and immediately asked: "Luo Hao, Parker, can you hear me?"

"It's nothing, bah bah," Luo Hao's calm voice soon came over there, "It's the Empire and the Nagas who started fighting. We originally planned to remind Tianlan and the others to avoid it, but it seems that the two worlds are communicating Something is wrong.”

"It should be caused by this storm," Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "We should have been shrouded in the storm. The storm in the outer sea of ​​Hanrui was caused by the waves of the etheric sea. Now the sea of ​​light is extinguished and violent The magic power may have affected the communication between the two worlds in this area. You don’t have to worry about Tianlan and the others, Sylvide has already taken them to the depths of the temple area, but what is the situation on your side?"

"The imperial people somehow brought in some magic cannons. They were firing at the Naga clan. Several shells landed in the middle area and almost hit our side," Luo Hao said with some unluckyness. The imperial magic cannons are quite powerful, but their artillery skills are really poor. Wait a minute, the Nagas seem to be launching a counterattack."

The fat man from the military suddenly revealed a hint of surprise in his words: "What is that...?"

Fang Plover wanted to ask more, but suddenly, a flash of light lit up in the sky. The light even overshadowed the light of the obelisk, dimming everything around the light source. The dazzling spear of light seemed to pierce the entire underground world in an instant, and then a deafening loud noise spread throughout every corner of this ancient ruins.

The torrent of voices overwhelmed all the voices, and even the communication crystal in Fang Plover's hand cracked. As if he had experienced some kind of earthquake, a tremor came along that direction, and the soil surged like waves. The plover immediately became unsteady and fell backwards.

But a hand held him up from behind. To Miya, the shaking seemed like it didn't exist. She stood firmly on the ground and looked at the direction in which the fireball was rising, like a sun rising in the darkness. The ground exploded, leaving only the flash of the explosion in the entire space.

Even Siesta couldn't help but turn around, but only the wolf girl remained indifferent, as if the light reflected in her eyes had no effect at all.

Then shock waves came one after another, but at this time the goddess Odais stretched out her hand, and a ray of light bloomed from her palm, forming a barrier in an instant, and the air wave swept across the barrier, only flickering slightly.

Then it subsided.

The shock wave generated by the explosion did not spread too far. The churning black mist at the bottom of the ruins seemed to come alive. The air wave penetrated into it like a sharp blade, but was swallowed up by it in an instant and disappeared without a trace.

Fang Yu finally calmed down. He wanted to ask something more, but the communication crystal in his hand had already split into two pieces and fell to the ground. He took out the sky-blue communication crystal again, but it couldn't light up at all, and there was no sound from the other end.

He raised his head and looked in that direction. The unknown explosion caused huge changes in the entire temple area. Most of the temples that were still intact have now collapsed, and now only a huge pit remains in the large and small pyramids. Hole.

Only the Tower of the Sun - the pyramid of Akkad is still intact. Only the edge area was affected, and the obelisk standing on it was not affected at all. After the flash of the explosion faded, it still radiated to the surrounding areas. With endless brilliance.

Fang Yu looked at the temple area in a mess, and his heart tightened. Although it seemed from a distance that the core area of ​​the temple area was still untouched, he didn't know if Tianlan and his group had really arrived at that place. The communication was currently Unable to use it, he had no way of knowing what happened to Sylvide.

The one who was even more anxious than him was Siesta. The maid girl immediately turned back in the direction she came from, but before she took two steps, Miya appeared behind her and grabbed her shoulders.

"Be careful." Miya said.

Siesta was slightly startled, and a wind blade flew from the front, parting the rolling mist and hitting the dust at her feet.

The sharp airflow split the street into two, but surprisingly, only a cloud of dust was raised. After the dust fell to the ground, the ground returned to its original state.

"Tsk," a soft hum came from behind the mist, and then a figure appeared in that place. It was a young man who seemed a bit unfamiliar to Fang Pliance, but he did recognize the other person's jersey and badge——

"Prometheus Brotherhood?" Fang Yu was startled. He knew that people from the Empire's Sword-bearing Court were on this island, as well as the Naga clan, but he didn't expect that there would be a third party here. But he had an idea and immediately understood the origin of the other party.

Before the Seven Seas Brigade entered the Gate of Storm, the Seven Seas Traveler detected a force following them more than once. Thinking of what happened before arriving at Andreus Port, he immediately realized that this group of troops should have come from Kan. Pa followed them all the way.

But they didn't expect that the other party would chase them all the way into the Storm Islands, pass through the storm circle, and also land on this island.

It’s just that I don’t know when these people caught up with them and entered this underground ruins with them. Fang Plover didn’t believe that the other party could keep up with the Seven Seas Traveler. It would probably be a long time to cross the mountains in such weather. Something only Miss Tata can do.

Then these people should have entered the underground world from another altar.

"The outside world thinks that you teased all of us in Campa," the young man looked at him and said, "but I don't think so. The people of AOA and Falcon Group are not fools. They are targeting Fang. How can you go to the obelisk and not be able to tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one?"

Minmir spread his hands: "So there is only one possibility. You have really seen the obelisk and know where it is."

"The empire actually knew that there might be an obelisk in the north, and invested a lot of manpower to look for it," he said slowly, while looking back at the radiant obelisk in the temple area, "Since you have seen If you pass the real obelisk and appear in this area, then I can reasonably guess that you should also be heading towards it."

He pointed in that direction, "Now, sure enough."

Fang Plover also looked up at the obelisk, then looked at the other party, and couldn't help but said: "So you are here for the obelisk. If you don't go to that place, what are you doing here?"

"Because no one will fool the same person twice," Minmir thought he was smart. "The obelisk is there, but you just can't go past it. Instead, you come deeper into the ruins. If I hadn't followed you, I wouldn't even have I don’t know that there is another cave in the lower level of this ruins.”

He took a deep breath: "The breath of the abyss... I'm not a fool. If I still can't guess that the real obelisk is under here, then I might as well retire immediately and go back to my hometown to grow sweet potatoes."

Minmir pointed behind Fang Plover, "If I guessed correctly, the obelisk is behind that, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Fang Plover has a black streak on his head, thinking that you might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes. This ability of association is a bit too rich. However, he was really not in the mood to quarrel with this guy who had some mental problems, so he directly said to him:

"If you think that is, then this place is given to you, please get out of the way now, I am going to meet my teammates."

"That's not possible," Minmir shook his head, "Don't think I don't know what your plan is. The Empire and those scaly monsters are still up there. Do you want to lure them over to drive away wolves and tigers?"

"Crazy." Fang Yu couldn't bear it anymore. He was now worried about the safety of Sylvide and his party. He didn't expect to meet such a tangled guy. But he didn't intend to talk nonsense with this guy, and directly pressed the information crystal with one hand.

At the same time, he called Miss Tata and Fang Nini in his heart. Although Fang Plover was a little annoyed, he could see that the person was at least a high-ranking person, either a high-ranking person of bronze or silver rank, at least with the strength of a pseudo-dragon knight.

If he doesn't use the Supreme One, he will probably not be his opponent.

But before he could take action, Miya stopped him first and said coldly: "Didn't you hear what he said? I asked you to get out of the way."

The wolf girl's tone was a little cold, because she was really embarrassed. She never thought that she would be followed by a Silver Rank for such a long time without realizing it. She had previously vowed to boast in front of Fang Plover that she would protect Haikou. He's thoughtful and stuff.

When she thought about how categorical she had just said, Miya felt a little embarrassed, so much so that she became extremely displeased with the guy in front of her. All of this was because her dragon knight ability was limited. If not for this, she would This person will never be disgraced - she thought to herself.

"Who do you think you are?"

Minmir looked over, but before he could finish his words, the wolf girl over there couldn't bear it anymore and swung her hand knife at him.

This ordinary sword strike made Minmir's expression change again and again. From the initial indifference, to the unexpected, to the shock, and finally to the look of seeing a ghost, he couldn't bear it. His eyes widened: "Wait, you are Hai——"

But the second half of the sentence could no longer be uttered.

Even though she didn't have the Dragon Knight ability, the Sea Witch's angry attack could not be stopped by a silver level, not to mention that Minmir himself did not summon his own Pseudo Dragon Knight construct, so he directly ate a strong one. , flew out like a cannonball.

Fang Yu only heard a loud bang, but it was only a moment before his eyes flashed, and Miya had already retreated. He looked at the rising dust and mist in front of him, and then a tall shadow appeared from there.

Although Minmir was not on guard, the shield automatically triggered by the magic furnace blocked the blow for him. As soon as he landed, he ignored the load status of the magic furnace and directly summoned his pseudo-dragon knight construct.

That was the Sea Witch. Before she disappeared, she was truly one of the top dragon knights. How could he stand up to such an opponent?

But what Minmir probably didn't expect was that he would bump into this long-missing character in such a place. However, he was startled at first, but immediately became overjoyed. This is a big fish, its value is no less than an obelisk. For those things the other party did in the second world, I don’t know how many guilds are chasing her right now.

Minmir ignored the sharp pain in his chest and immediately summoned his main structure. He didn't expect to be able to deal with the Sea Witch, but it only took a little time for him to contact the people in the guild.

But when he took out the communication crystal with his backhand, he immediately realized something was wrong. Why couldn't the crystal light up?

When I opened the community, I saw that the community in the first division was completely blank.

Minmir was stunned.

And in this moment of confusion, Miya once again seized the opportunity. The wolf girl stretched out her hand, and a star dagger appeared in her palm.

At this time, Fang Yu finally reacted. He knew that under normal circumstances, it would be easy for Miya to deal with the guy in front of her, but without the ability of the dragon knight, it would probably take a lot of effort to subdue this guy.

He wasn't worried that Miya would be defeated, but he was worried that the other party would contact other people. Prometheus couldn't possibly send him alone to track them. There would be at least one or even more aerospace ships behind him.

It's just that ordinary people cannot enter this area similar to the abyss, and although communication between the two worlds cannot be used, the other party can still contact other people through the communication crystal.

Neither he nor Siesta could subdue a Silver Order in a short period of time, but there was another existence here. Fang Plover immediately looked at Odaisi aside: "My Lady, you——"

Fang Yu's words suddenly got stuck.

He found Odais frowning and looking behind them in the direction of the spire in the black mist.

For no reason, an uneasy feeling suddenly hit his heart. It felt like a certain part of his body was warning frantically, and at the same time, the ring of golden flames on his chest was getting hot.

"Mr. Knight!" A voice came from his inner world, Tata's tone was more severe than ever before, "Run away!"

It was at that moment that a shadow suddenly rose from the black mist,
