Chapter 580 Strategic Shift (4000 words)(1/2)
Qiao Xiu still underestimated the ice dragon... which does not meet the normal flight speed of creatures.
From Nolan to the Frost Country, to the deep green basin on the border of the Frost Country, this ice dragon completed a journey that would take ordinary people in just three days to complete in the first half of a year.
"I will give five-star reviews to this Didi Dragon Car."
When Catalian landed on the periphery of the deep green basin, Joseph made the due evaluation of the journey.
"I've heard enough of your strange words."
Catalian shook his back and signaled that Joshu and Cili would leave behind it.
Joshu jumped off Catalian's dragon's back and landed steadily on the grass in the basin.
With the physical fitness of the Chaos Demon, Qiao Xiu could easily jump off the dragon's back that was nearly four-story high.
Xili used the order system as a common application method for spellcasters, which was to use magic barriers to build a temporary ladder, and then walked down the dragon's back step by step.
"Where is the city of the elves?"
As soon as Xiri landed on the ground, she glanced at the left and right, then raised her head and looked at the sky.
Due to the arrival of the ice dragon Catalian, all the monsters living in this basin disappeared, and the surroundings were terrible.
There was no floating thing in the sky. When Xili was sitting on the ice dragon before, she was excited to find the legendary city.
But even above the clouds, nothing can be seen.
"There may be some invisibility-like magic."
Qiao Xiu took out the token of the World Tree, which had already reacted after entering the Deep Green Basin.
"I forgot how to use it." Qiao Xiu handed the token to Xili. "Xiri, try to input magic into it first."
Xili took the token and entered his magic power as Qiao Xiu said.
The light on the token became brighter, and Qiao Xiu also pressed his hand on it and carefully inputted the magic of the Chaos Demon into it.
A pure white beam of light appeared beside Qiao Xiu.
"This thing is... a portal?"
Xili found a stone on the ground and threw it into the beam of light, and the stone disappeared into the pillar of light instantly.
‘How long does the lead beam not last.’
Suddenly, a translucent white bird appeared on Xiri's shoulder. This white bird was the consciousness of the High Elf World Tree.
It tilted its head and looked at Catalian behind Ciri.
"Madam, please?" Qiao Xiu made a gesture of invitation.
"Space teleportation, um... Sure enough, I still can't adapt to this magic."
But Xili showed some fear when facing this pillar of light.
This spellcaster is a woman who can fight with bears with bare hands, but her consecutive "space teleportation" during the Demon Realm left a psychological shadow on Xili.
"Okay, hold my hand."
Qiao Xiu held Xili's somewhat cold hand and walked into the beam of light with Xili.
The feeling of weightlessness swept over Qiao Xiu. After just three seconds, Qiao Xiu opened his eyes again, and the scenery in front of him changed from a swamp to a city that had become ruins.
"Is this Arthur Crow?"
Qiao Xiu looked around. The style of the surrounding buildings looked familiar, but these buildings had turned into decaying ruins, and even the ground was covered with dust, which didn't seem like someone living in it.
This is a street that has been dead for a long time, and only its ruins are left here.
Qiao Xiu raised his head and there was a huge dome above it. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the dome, as if telling Qiao Xiu that it was not far from the ground here.
"Arthur Crow, isn't this the underground remains of Nolan?"
Xiri looked around and saw that the architectural style here was almost exactly the same as the ruins underground in Nolan.
“So what about the people who welcome us?”
Qiao Xiu didn't even see a wild high elf, but felt a powerful magic barrier outside the street.
Just as Joshu was looking for a welcomer, Xili, who was intuition like a beast, suddenly noticed something.
"who?"
Xili held up his staff, and the light of the illusion inscription surrounded the staff. The next second the ruins were illuminated by strong light, and the dark figure hiding in the corner of the ruins slowly walked out.
"It seems you are not a welcome person." Qiao Xiu looked at the person in front of him. The robe on his body was very similar to the style of the Nolan Spellcaster, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly with a mask on his face. Instead, the emblem on the shoulders of the robe revealed his identity.
The emblem that only the robes of the Seven Sages of Nolan will have.
Joseph has heard that Nolan has only five sages, and the Black and Blue have not appeared in the Sage Council for a long time.
Whether he is a black man has nothing to do with Qiao Xiu. Qiao Xiu only wants to know where the high elves live.
"Human from Nolan? And a...blasphemer, why are you here!"
His eyes under the mask glanced over Qiao Xiu and Xili, and finally his eyes remained on Qiao Xiu's body and his pupils shrank slightly.
"What is the strange name for blasphemer? My name is Josho Yanorod, a guest invited by the consciousness of the Tree of the World." Josho introduced himself.
"The Holy Tree cannot accept one..."
Before he could finish his words, a white bird stopped on Qiao Xiu's shoulder. At this moment, he closed his mouth instantly, looking at Qiao Xiu's eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
"Would you be a local? If so, can you take me to the gathering place of the high elves? I have something to talk to them."
Qiao Xiu tentatively communicated with the man in black. This time, Qiao Xiu came purely for the Aviation Mobile IFI, and of course he also created a few more high-elf idols. Qiao Xiu was quite happy.
"You are in a place of forgetting, which means you have been rejected by the Elders' Council," he said.
"Reject?" Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, he should be considered a guest of the World Tree.
He answered Qiao Xiu's questions in a more intuitive way. The silver inscription appeared in his hands, and a reflected image appeared in front of Qiao Xiu's eyes.
"The Elders' Council will not allow the blasphemers to step into this city again. It may be because they are sheltered by the holy trees that they have no choice to kill you." The image he summoned was in the forest outside the ruins.
Qiao Xiu could see a group of high elves waiting outside. Just from their equipment, it was not like coming to welcome Qiao Xiu, the guest.
"We... seem to be the bosses of the dungeon?" Xiri said to Qiao Xiu in a low voice.
"It seems that I have been treated as enemies. I thought all the elves were a group of cat slaves..." Qiao Xiu did not expect that with the protection of the holy tree, these high elves did not give Qiao Xiu face at all.
"There is a bird standing on your shoulder." Xiri reminded Qiao Xiu again.
“…”
"To the High Elves, the Holy Tree is just our symbiosis."
The man in black glanced at the white bird standing on Qiao Xiu's shoulder, and owed to it slightly and performed a strange etiquette.
"I don't know why the Holy Tree invited you to Arthur Crow, but please leave this city as soon as possible. Some elders will execute any blasphemer mercilessly." The man in black persuaded Qiao Xiu.
"Go back? Do you mean I was put on a dove by a high elves? Or was it pointed at by a flock of doves with a bow?"
Qiao Xiu didn't expect that the attitude of these elves would be so bad.
The man in black ignored Qiao Xiu's words and came straight to the center of the street. In front of an altar-like building, he stretched out his hand and brushed the dust from one of the discs.
"This is a teleportation array built by you blasphemers. With your magic, you should be able to build a portal to Nolan," he said.
"Although I want to leave this dusty place as soon as possible, my answer is that I refuse."
"If you force yourself outside the Forgotten Land, the Elders Council will not let you go." The man in black warned Qiao Xiu.
"Is this your way of hospitality? If you are hostile, I am happy to lead the army to get Arthur Crow into the war." Qiao Xiu said with a smile on his face.
"What did you say?"
This sentence obviously stimulated the man in black. He held his staff tightly, and the silver inscription appeared around his body, but the next moment, the gray magic suddenly swept through the area.
His inscriptions were broken into residue like glass, and even he himself held the staff with both hands as if he had difficulty breathing.
"After so many years... you guys are still so dangerous."
"I don't know much about the grudges between the high elves and our clan, but this time I was invited by your holy tree. Forget it if you don't bring some tea to entertain you, I still want to put pigeons on it."
Qiao Xiu's hand was surrounded by chaotic magic and then slowly walked towards him. After passing by him, he injected his magic into the teleportation array.
This teleportation array, which has been abandoned for many years, has been activated again.
"You mean you can connect to Nolan here?"
Qiao Xiu felt that this man in black was very...unvigilant, or was very kind-hearted?
If there was such a teleportation array in his home, Qiao Xiu would not tell anyone else even if he was beaten to death.
He did not answer Qiao Xiu. Qiao Xiu used the inscription of the Skeleton Guard to summon an unconscious undead spirit. The undead spirit walked into the teleportation array, and the next second it walked out of the teleportation array again.
After the undead broke into residue, its only memory poured into Qiao Xiu's memory.
There were three stunned dwarves around, and Qiao Xiu also saw the Frost Axe among the three dwarves.
Is it a teleportation array leading to the Frost Axe House?
Qiao Xiu instantly closed the teleportation array... and fell into deep thought.
