Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

The land abandoned by the gods, the town camp in the afternoon.

Led by Chief Colin Iliad, the nine-member exploration team including Derrick Berg left the Afternoon Town camp, followed the steps paved with gray stones, and walked towards the peak among tall and dark buildings.

They were at least Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and most of them belonged to the 'Warrior' path. They moved forward quite fast. After clearing out a few waves of monsters, mainly rotten giants, they finally arrived at the area shrouded in dusk. They were shocked by the majestic buildings with a strong sense of epic, and no one spoke for a while.

It was also the first time they encountered a place where there was 'natural' light without alternation of lightning!

But after generation after generation of changes, although they reverence the "sun" recorded in the literature, they have found themselves more adapted to the dark and deep environment with frequent lightning, and have an instinctive fear of this situation frozen in the dusk.

Both hope and fear.

After entering the place shrouded in dusk, the entire exploration team, including the chief Colin Iliad and the 'shepherd' elder Lovia, inevitably appeared in a state of exhaustion and decay, with a feeling that they had entered the end of their lives. As they moved forward, there were more and more rotting giants wandering on the road or rushing out of different buildings.

After one side was weakened and the other was strengthened, it became difficult to move forward. After several fierce battles, the Silver City exploration team finally broke through the blockade and obstruction of those monsters, and came to an extremely quiet area where there was no sound, and the scalp was numb.

Regarding this, 'Silver Knight' Colin Iliad had to break the silence and reminded:
"This means that we have truly entered the 'Royal Court of Giants' and are about to approach the core. The level of danger will only increase, not decrease."

After hearing this sentence, the hearts of the members of the exploration team couldn't help but tighten.

The rotten giant that attacked them just now has a strength comparable to that of Sequence 5. If we continue, won't we encounter monsters of Sequence 4?It's okay if there are one or two, but if they are still in groups like the previous situation, then their situation may be quite dangerous!

The chief obviously anticipated this situation, and was also extremely vigilant about everything around him.

Unexpectedly, they went deeper and deeper into the core of the giant royal court, but they didn't encounter any monsters on the way.

Finally, a huge stone staircase appeared before their eyes!
It is off-white as a whole, but it is dyed with orange light, which is both gorgeous and silent.

Above the huge stairs is a city wall so majestic that you have to look up to see it. There are many traces of destruction and burning on it. In some places, there are arrows that are as thick as ordinary trees and several meters long, causing some stones to collapse!
In the middle of the city wall is a double door that is tens of meters high. Its color is more grayish blue, and there are golden nails inlaid on it.

And most importantly, this door has been opened by someone at some point!

This unexpected situation immediately made others more vigilant, but Chief Colin Iliad resolutely stepped on the ladder.

Obviously, the Chief is not surprised by the situation here.

After all, he had seen those two strangers enter the court of giants with his own eyes.

And as the exploration team approached, the scene behind the door was gradually exposed in their field of vision.

A gray and white, covered with orange light, there are countless steps going up from behind the door, until it reaches the tallest and most magnificent giant king's residence. tower;
On both sides of the ladder of the Kingdom of God, there are a large number of bases for placing statues.

Judging from the size of the base, the statue placed on it is at least six meters high!

But now, the giant statues guarding the steps of the Kingdom of God are nowhere to be found, leaving only the intact bases and rubble piled up on the steps that have not been cleaned up.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of the last 'visitor'.

The reason why they were able to come here unimpeded all the way was because the other party had already cleaned up the danger in advance.

"call!"

Colin Iliad took a deep breath.

If this is the case, then this exploration may be smoother than he imagined.

Thinking in this way, Colin led the members of the exploration team to continue upward, and a towering palace gradually became clear.

And when they finally stepped into the magnificent palace, they saw a scene they would never forget——

The palace is bathed in solidified twilight, and on the left is a railing made of stone pillars.

Beyond the railing is a pervasive orange-red cloud, and in the distance of the cloud is a piece of lightly surging, dark blue with no end in sight, and a dark blue with a clattering sound.

No need for anyone to explain, the members of the Silver City exploration team simultaneously remembered the records in the book and the description of Little Jack, and a term flashed in their minds:
"The sea."

The dark blue, gently surging, invisible sea, as if containing endless life, appeared in the eyes of the members of the Silver City's exploration team. It was no longer recorded in ancient books, nor was it a foreign land. combinations of words in the mouth of the speaker.

It's still far away, but it seems to be within reach.

In the exploration team, the burgundy-haired Antiina stared there obsessively, opened her mouth, as if she wanted to express something, but in the end, only that word came out:
"The sea..."

"Is the sea beautiful?"

asked a voice.

"Ah."

Antiierna was still obsessed with looking at the boundless sea, and let out a light 'um'.

"Yes, it's beautiful."

There was a little nostalgia in the tone of that voice, and he said in a depressed mood:

"Thousands of years have passed, and the giant court is still magnificent, and the sea is still beautiful. Just standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire giant court... But now, the people watching the scenery have long disappeared. I have searched the entire giant court, but I have not found even a living giant."

"Everyone is dead, died in the great change thousands of years ago."

This unexpected speech made the exploration team startled, obviously this was not something that the residents of the City of Silver could express.Although this palace is magnificent, they are not residents here, and there is nothing worthy of their memory here, so who is this person with a nostalgic tone?

Antiina turned around abruptly, looking warily at the giant who appeared at no time!

They were obviously tall and very eye-catching, but none of them noticed each other's arrival!

If the other party didn't speak rashly just now, but launched an attack suddenly...

Thin cold sweat broke out on Antiierna's forehead, she could already foresee her own consequences.

The gray-blue-skinned giant was indifferent to their vigilance, but looked at the leading chief, and asked kindly:

"I remember your name was Colin?"

The chief was silent for two seconds, nodded slightly and said:

"Colin Iliad, we met at the afternoon camp."

Grossel smiled honestly, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, that vertical single eye did not have the ferocity and tyranny portrayed in the rumors of various giants.

Colin looked around and asked inadvertently:

"I remember that there is a Mr. Ember who is walking with you, isn't he here?"

The giant Grossel looked around with his one-eyed vertical eye, and said with a smile:

"He is in the Northern Continent. You also hope to go to the Northern Continent from here?"

Colin remained silent, noncommittal.

Grossel saw the vigilance and hostility of the City of Silver exploration team, but he didn't take it seriously, he just smiled and turned to leave.

Antiana hesitated and hesitated:
"Chief, we..."

"Follow him."

Colin Iliad saw the vigilance and apprehension of the others, and said in a deep voice.

Derrick remained silent, and was the first to follow.

Just like that, the nine members of the exploration team carefully followed behind the tall gray-blue giant, and the giant Grossel could clearly sense their 'stalking', but he didn't make a sound to stop it.

Under such circumstances, even the most hostile members of the exploration team could see that the giant named Grossel was not malicious.

At last they made their way across the hall to an open door.Following the Grossel who entered it, he saw an unusually magnificent and gorgeous palace.At the end of the palace, there are steps sprinkled with orange light, and a huge iron-black throne is placed on the steps.

Thousands of years ago, the Giant King Almir sat on that huge throne, ruling the Kingdom of God called Giant King's Court!
Standing in front of the gate of this magnificent palace, the exploration team looked at the gray-blue giant with some hesitation for a while.

For giants, it should be a felony for these people to trespass on the giant king's residence, right?

Although the giant along the way didn't have any desire to attack, it didn't mean that the other side was harmless.

Once they rashly enter the palace, they will most likely be hunted down endlessly by the other party.

Standing in front of the steps of the throne, Grossel suddenly looked back at the people at the door, scratched his head and asked:
"Aren't you coming in?"

The members of the exploration team subconsciously looked at Colin, but the chief hesitated for a moment before stepping into the palace.

The expected attack did not come, and the giant still stood in front of the throne and waited for them.

This made the members of the exploration team let go of their guard and followed the chief into the palace.

And when everyone followed, Grossel climbed the steps and walked to the iron-black throne.

Afterwards, the members of the exploration team saw that the tall giant avoided the throne in a 'cautious' gesture and walked around to the back of the throne.

Colin immediately reminded in a deep voice:
"Stay away from the throne."

The exploration team was stunned. It may not be an offense to enter the palace, but it must be to touch the throne!

Colin took a deep breath, climbed up the tall steps, and walked far away from the iron-black throne.

Then he saw, behind the throne, there was a gray-blue door with dim light, depicting the scene of dusk!
This might be the 'door' leading to the outside world... Colin Iliad, Derrick, and Lovia flashed such a thought at the same time.

"That's the door to leave here." The voice of the giant Grossel confirmed their guess.

Seeing several members of the exploration team looking at him, Grossel laughed and said:
"You can open that door yourself."

"Let me do it!" Derrick volunteered to stand up and said without hesitation.

Colin was silent for two seconds, then nodded slightly to Derrick.

If the giant hadn't lied to them, there was indeed a hidden passage behind this door.

But if the giant had been lying to them before, then there might be unimaginable danger hidden behind this door!
And the person who opens the door will definitely take the most risks.

As the strongest member of the exploration team, Colin could not open the door.

Because once he had an accident, the remaining people would not be able to stop the killing of giants.

Therefore, it can only be others who take the risk.

But now, Derrick took the initiative to assume this responsibility.

"call."

Derrick took a deep breath, stepped forward to the door quickly, put his hand on the door, and pushed the gray-blue door hard.

Drops of water slipped from Derrick's face, and the heavy pricking sound rang in his ears.

A gap appeared, allowing golden sunlight to shine inside.

The gap got bigger and bigger, and a golden sea gradually appeared in Derrick's eyes, in Colin Iliad's eyes, and in the eyes of all members of the entire exploration team.

Their eyes were full of hope, and there were smiles without the slightest haze and a vague yearning on their faces.

The open gray-blue door, the stone stairs all the way down, the golden-glowed sea and the ubiquitous light are the ultimate results of their countless explorations and countless sacrifices!

Derrick looked at Grossel expectantly and asked:

"Can I leave from here?"

"Do not."

Grossel shook his head and explained:
"You have to leave in the right way at the right time."

Derrick asked impatiently:

"What's the right way?"

Grossel replied:
"Why should I tell you?"

Derrick was stunned for a moment, and the nerves of everyone in the City of Silver tensed up.

Grossel's friendly behavior along the way almost made them forget that this giant was also their potential enemy!

Grossel's vertical monocular glanced over several people, and said slowly:

"The ancient sun god killed our king, why do you think I will let his followers leave here?"

These words immediately made the atmosphere on both sides extremely tense, and Antiierna and the others even put their hands on their weapons!

Yes!

The other party is a giant, and the Lord they believe in once killed the giant king Almir, which is definitely a life and death enmity for the giant!
What's more, the City of Silver used to be a believer of the Giant King, but in the end he devoted himself to the Lord's faith.

For the giant, this is even more blatant betrayal!
The contradictions between the two sides are almost irreconcilable!
Colin reached out to stop Silver City and the others, and asked in a deep voice:
"So, what's your request?"

He believed that the other party's previous friendliness was not pretended, if the other party really didn't want them to leave.

There is no need for them to come here, let alone open that door!
