Edge of the Apocalypse

The wind howled, cold and to the bone.

Of course, for the three of Allen, this degree of cold wind is nothing, even if they can make ordinary people freeze to death in just one or two minutes. Alice is walking across the stone bridge erected above the abyss. Today she is wearing a long dress adorned with star diamonds. The wind blows the skirt as she walks, like a cloud of changing nebula.

Alan and Shanna followed behind her, passing the bridge of the abyss, the wind blowing from the abyss at the bottom of the bridge, like a roar from hell.

Before they walked through the black gate, the black gate was still closed, and various strange sounds could be faintly heard from the door. The swarms of insects released by Alice are now in the black gate. They are in deep sleep, and only part of them is responsible for protecting the black gate and guarding the remains.

Alice stretched out her hand in front of the door, her chest lit up with silver light, and strips of mercury-like objects protruded from her chest, twisted together like tentacles, and stretched out toward the relief on the door. These tentacles fell on the relief, the lines of the relief were lit, and then the door opened to both sides. As soon as these two extremely heavy black doors were moved, they rubbed and made a dull sound, and a strong air current gushed out from the doors, causing the three of them to squint their eyes.

The black door opened a passage and stopped. Although it was only a crack in the door, it was wide enough for a carriage to pass by. Alice turned sideways to give way and said, "His Royal Highness Allen, please."

Alan did his part and walked into the passage in the door. Although it was only a short period of time, I looked up and saw that the doors on both sides were high, and there was only a gap in the sky. Then when he passed the Black Gate, his vision suddenly became bright.

Behind the door is a high slope. From here, you can see undulating hills and lava rivers flowing from the ground. Bubbles are constantly emerging from the magma river, and the smell of sulfur fills the entire space here.

Far away is a volcano. Thick smoke came out of the crater, and flames spurted from time to time. Occasionally, magma gushes out of the crater, and then flows to the foot of the mountain along with the mountain.

Alice pointed to the volcano: "We have to go there."

Alan nodded, and Alice led the way. Walking on the hot ground, they had to cross a river of magma that was enough to sell bones, and they needed to climb over hills. Of course, these are nothing to the three of them. In the past, Alice came to the Black Gate to activate the Queen Garder, and it took two days to walk from the Black Gate to the volcano. It's just that she didn't rush on the road that day, and now the three of them accelerated slightly, and it took half a day to reach the foot of the volcano.

Going inside from the cave at the foot of the mountain is a winding down passage. After passing through the passage, Allen came to the underground hall. The hall remained the same, except that the moss piled up in a spherical shape had disappeared. Only the magma lake, the magma in it is still hot and overflowing.

There is a platform in the center of the lake, and there are stone pillars between the platform and the lake shore. Alice asked Alan to wait on the shore. She walked up the stone pillar and came to the platform in the lake lightly. Now that the column on the platform has sunk, the Queen Guardian is once again sealed under the platform. Alice knelt on the ground, her chest lit up, and those silver tentacles like mercury came out again, fell on the platform, and gradually spread. I saw a piece of silver moss spread on the platform, and when that piece of silver moss spread over the platform, the magma lake began to boil.

A booming tremolo sounded from the bottom of the lake, and the magma in the lake seemed to pour into other places, rapidly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. So Allen on the shore saw that the platform in the lake turned out to be a strong stone pillar like a mountain peak!

From the edge of the platform, there was a stone step extending downwards around the stone pillar, and Alice asked the two to come to the platform. All the silver threads on the platform had been retracted into her body, and the platform had returned to its original state. Allen and Shanna passed the stone pillars to the platform, and then followed Alice down the platform spiral staircase.

The stone steps of the spiral staircase are not flat, pitted, and there is magma remaining. Stepping on it will raise blue smoke, but to the three of them, magma is like stepping in a hot spring.

Below the truncated platform, it can be seen that the magma is rapidly dissipating, exposing an arch-shaped terrain. The arch end is located at the round pedestal stone pillar, and the terrain dictates that the magma disperses quickly. The rock wall of this round pedestal pillar fell off in some places, exposing the light red spar inside. It turned out to be a huge crystal inside. Looking in from the translucent crystal wall of the crystal, you can vaguely see the huge body of Queen Garter.

On that day, Alice merged with Queen Garter and released the worms to attack the Demon Kingdom. It was only after Alan pulled her out of the queen's body that Alice regained her rationality. Now that the Queen Garter is sealed again, if not necessary, Alice is not willing to return to her body if she wants to come

.

It has been half an hour to step on the ground. At the other end of the arched ground, there is an arch. Alice walked to the arch, leading Ellen and two through a passage. At the end of the passage is another stone gate. The appearance of the door is the same as the black door, but the scale is reduced by countless times.

Open the door, behind the door is an open underground space. Although it is underground, it is definitely not dark. On the dome of this huge mountain belly, there was a flash of fire. Allen looked up and saw that there was an unimaginably huge crystal layer on the dome, and above the crystal layer was lava flowing in the volcano. I don't know what kind of substance that layer of crystal is. For millions of years, magma has been allowed to flow on it, and there has been no erosion.

It seems that the thickness of the crystal layer is very limited, so the firelight in the magma can penetrate into the belly of the mountain. The temperature in the belly of the mountain is moderate. On the stone pillars grow clumps of green plants, and even shrubs can be seen. And fern leaf plants. Except that there are no animals, it is almost the same as in the wild.

The terrain in the hillside is undulating, and you can see from a distance a castle stands on a high slope. The castle is classical and solemn in shape, with towering minarets, verandas, reliefs and guard walls clearly visible. I don't know what materials the castle was built with, and after the passage of time, it was not even damaged.

"That is the legacy left by Lord Ranjie." Alice looked at the castle with infinitely longing eyes: "That is the twilight castle, I was born in that castle. And witnessed that at dusk one day, Lan Master Jie sank it into the ground and asked me and the worms to guard it. I thought that the creator wanted me to protect it until his return. But now I understand that what he called the return refers to the Son of Dawn. That is, your Royal Highness Allen."

"The creator said that when dawn comes, he will return." Alice lowered her head, "I always thought that Lord Lange would return again. But I didn't understand until Shanna told me, Lord Lange. Refers to another meaning.

"

"When the Son of Dawn arrives, his remaining will will be pinned on the Son of Dawn to return. Therefore, Your Royal Highness, you can only go the next journey by yourself."

Alan looked at her and said, "Aren't you going in with me?"

Alice shook her head and smiled faintly: "I'm here waiting for Lord Lange to return."

Hearing this, Alan didn't force it, and walked towards the castle by himself.

He walked faster and faster, and the ground quickly retreated under his feet. After a while, he was already standing in front of the castle. The gate of the castle was closed tightly. According to Alice's reminder when he came, Allen took out the demon's praise, he injected the source force, and the source device was activated. When the gray sword body of the Ashes Hymn was unfolding in the air, a striped road lit up on the castle, resonating with the Ashes Hymn.

In a bang, the door of the castle opened outwards, and the wind blew out from the door, bringing out muddy air. From the door, it was a deep passage, and at the end seemed to be a large hall. Both the passage and the hall are lit up, and the light comes from the building itself.

This is quite different from the treasure house in the heaven star. This castle is far less magnificent than the treasure house in the heaven star. Strictly speaking, this castle exists only to preserve the will of the creator. That was the Son of Twilight of a certain generation, his name was Ranjie.

Allen walked into the hall, and the hall was elegantly decorated. Whether it was the fireplace or the tables and chairs, it gave Allen a feeling of returning to the eighteenth century. In the front is a main ladder, which is divided into two stairs in the middle to lead to the second floor.

On the wall of the main ladder is a relief painting, on which there are two armies at war, and behind the army, there is a light falling down. At this moment, a flame suddenly rose from the fireplace, and Allen turned his head to see that a man was stirring the firewood in the furnace. Allen calmed down and saw that the fire and wood in the fireplace had some unreal feelings. Those were not real objects, but some kind of projection.

"Lange?" Allen said, looking at the man.

This man has the same silver hair as Ellen. He heard Ellen’s voice and turned his head. It turned out that Zhang and Ellen had similar faces~www.readwn.com~ the same red pupils. , Looking at him, Alan seemed to be looking at himself ten years later.

"Only the hymn of the ashes can activate this castle, and only if the castle is activated can my will be awakened. Then, you are the son of dawn, can you tell me your name?" The man stood up, and he was dressed in a long time ago Clothing is very simple. As the Son of Twilight, he seems to be a bit less of Taylor's majesty.

There is no aggressive presence in him, he is easy-going like an ordinary man, a host who has guests at home. He went to one of the rocking chairs and sat down, and pointed to the other chair to make Allen sit down.

"My name is Ellen." After reporting his name, Ellen walked to the chair, which was covered with thick dust.

Lan Jie shrugged: "It's been too long since no one has taken care of it, don't mind."

Allen smiled, put away the ashes hymn, and stretched out his hand. A palm wind blew the chair, blowing away the dust on it, and he sat down.

"You don't seem to be anxious at all. I originally thought that the Son of Dawn would be eager to receive my power." Lanjie flipped his hand, and there was an extra cigarette in his hand. He put it to his mouth, and smoke started to float in the pipe.
