The surrounding sounds became thinner, and even the howling wind before had stopped at this moment. Only the footsteps of two people spread far away on the stone slabs of the road, echoing with subtle cascading sounds.
The white fog gradually dissipated, causing the streets to spread forward in front of you, and some pillars or walls carved with complex patterns began to appear around your sight. Even now, those originally smooth surfaces have been corroded by long history and have countless pits.
But it will still make everyone who observes them carefully feel the majesty of silence. Especially some of them are either etched or poured. They are no longer meaningless ancient characters, but simple runes and symbols.
The spell bytes and the smell of magic in the air seemed to suddenly become stronger.
But more things are hidden in the darkness. Only the shadows jump into dancing fragments at the end of the sight, like monsters ready to move and choose people to eat, and the whispers ringing in the ears at any time become a
The lingering gloom in my heart.
That subtle murmur contained a powerful force - it was like a kind of telepathy, no, more than that, it should be an instruction or even an order. Although there were no words, it enveloped the two of them.
, let them move forward.
Edward squinted his eyes and focused his gaze on the blurry darkness beyond the halo of the lighting staff. Most of the symbols here were beyond the scope of his knowledge. And in an ancient magical city,
You may never imagine what kind of existence you will encounter head-on in the next moment - just like the white dragon just now.
Therefore, the hunter must be extra careful to prevent himself from entering a possible magic trap. His other hand holds the sword tightly so that the dragon's blood stained on the blade can dry up faster -
- According to legend, the crystallization of dragon's blood can turn ordinary iron into an indestructible sharp blade. Even though the statement may be a bit exaggerated, but now there is still a benefit in having more life-saving straws like this.
In fact, there are more than 10,000 little alpacas running through Edward's heart right now.
The dragon's corpse is undoubtedly a genuine treasure. Even in a remote city, it can be exchanged for at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But now, in addition to the dragon's blood filled with his water bag, he knocked off two daggers.
Except for the large and small fangs and a pair of dragon eyes, he could not touch the treasure mountain any more - the toughness of the dragon skin was beyond imagination, and Edward used the broken long sword of the paladin to cut it for a long time.
He only extended an existing hole by less than half a foot, and could barely pull his own sword out of the dragon's intestines. He couldn't even take away a piece of dragon skin... let alone
Talking about getting this whole dragon corpse out of this damn underground maze!
The temples on both sides beat slightly. Edward shook his head. He knew that it was a side effect of the loss of blood. Although the paladin's magic healed his wounds and even connected the fractures between his ribs, the blood
But there is no way to fill it. Even the highest-level potion cannot do this. Only high-level recovery spells can do it.
The paladin who was almost disemboweled before was probably, no, obviously in a worse condition than Edward - she moved silently, but her path seemed to move to one side involuntarily.
If they didn't think of a way, the two of them might be tempted by the sound and become wary for some reason. So after thinking about it, Edward decided to say something to lighten the atmosphere a little.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. Aylin, it must not be your real name, right?"
"...The name is just a symbol. It is enough to call it conveniently."
"Hey, can a paladin deceive others?"
"...You can call me Elena. This is my last name."
"So Elena."
"Um?"
"……never mind."
Either because he didn't wear a helmet, or because he had gone through difficulties together, the paladin's answer became much gentler. Unfortunately, this conversation did not make people relax much, because it was only a few short sentences.
The wide road paved with bluestone has reached its end - the end of the field of vision. The dim light of the lighting rod outlines the outline of a tall building, and the majestic wall completely blocks the entire street.
Edward frowned and scanned this wall with a height of over fifty feet, the upper end even hidden in the mist, but did not find any window lattice, only a solitary one with a height of over eight feet.
The door. The simple pattern on the door has been worn away by the passage of time, but it still seems to make people feel the exquisite effort given by the maker.
It seemed that there was no trap, and it was not even locked at all. But Edward still observed carefully for a while before trying to step forward. The moment they were slightly closer, the door handle suddenly made a soft click, and then slightly
It slowly opens with a squeaking and rubbing sound!
Edward's heart beat heavily. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late... When the iron door opened with a slight creak, the darkness inside spewed out!
As the huge door opened, a large group of invisible shadows poured out like a tide, engulfing the human figure like a living creature!
Cave bears that have been fully trained have a pair of night vision eyes, and can accurately identify terrain, vegetation, humans and animals when ordinary people's eyesight goes dark. Edward is no exception - but there are conditions, so-called
His night vision is actually just the ability to see under moonlight and starlight. In true lightless darkness, he can't see anything either.
What's more, what's hitting us now is not just the shadows caused by the lack of light, but the terrifying cold atmosphere that makes the surrounding light disappear without a trace - as if it is an illusion, the entire ground
It seems like a shaking blanket, and like an ocean in a storm, it surges up, with sharp screams and roars that want to engulf everything. It makes people feel like they have been plunged into eternal darkness in both space and time!
The weak luster of the lighting staff suddenly went out, and the dark viscosity was like a living thing, a squirming, smooth soft body. It extended to every inch of the body, and the hunter couldn't help but tighten the muscles of the whole body, and even let out a cry
A groan!
But darkness comes and goes just as quickly.
A ray of white holy light lit up from the center of the darkness, swaying and scattering unyieldingly, like a ray of light in hell. It enveloped the two people together, and expanded outward like water with the soft luster emanating from the paladin's body. Then
The turbulent darkness was like a curtain being lifted, split in two!
The scene that was revealed next was surprising - Edward and Elena were already standing side by side in the middle of an exquisite room. The open door was a dozen feet away behind them, but the two looked at each other and at the same time confirmed that they were
Not moved even half a step!
"Amazing."
After calming down and carefully observing his surroundings, Edward couldn't help but sigh.
The room behind the door is not big, but it is so beautiful and luxurious... Magic stars hang from the ceiling, the surrounding rock walls are pasted with intricately carved black wood wainscoting, and the floor is padded with a thick layer of white.
There is a plush blanket; there are some amethyst decorations on the gold-edged desk, and the faint light provides the only lighting for the entire room. There is also a bookshelf in the room - there are naturally a variety of books piled on it, some of which have books on their spines.
Shining runes are still floating.
But what attracted Edward even more was the broad desk that was close at hand - in the center of the table, on a delicate crystal pedestal, there was a twinkling light spot.
It was a beautifully decorated little thing.
It looks like a ring made of flower branches made of bright silver metal. It has stems, leaves, calyxes, and stems all... In the center of the petals, there is a beautiful original gemstone inlaid, which seems to have a shimmering light. It's just that
Although it was beautifully made, Edward's mystical vision could not tell that this thing had any aura -
But it must have some kind of magic attached to it, because when the hunter slowly approached and took it in his hand, a cold light shone on it.
That thick and terrifying darkness is rolling in once again!
Edward was shocked! He wanted to let go at the first moment...but he suddenly found that he seemed to be unable to move!
His hands, feet, waist, hips, and even his neck - all the joints in his body seemed to have lost control. He couldn't even close his eyes. He could only watch the billowing darkness extend in his field of vision, and finally make up for the last trace.
Light, darkness, darkness...the darkness is so scary, and what's even more terrifying is the silence that follows it like a shadow. The body's sensations are constantly disappearing.
Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is only one lonely soul left, and time seems to be extended infinitely in this moment...
After a long time.
Was it a few seconds or thousands of years?
A little light bloomed in the boundless darkness. It gradually squirmed and stretched, and seemed to reveal its shape as it kept getting closer.
It seemed like a branch with branches, leaves and flowers, but it exuded a cold light color that did not contain life, but each branch and leaf had a lifelike appearance and exquisite and delicate texture, almost beyond Edward's memory.
Those relics in history that are said to be ingenious...
Glittering black gold, soft and lustrous mithril, and many other unknown expensive metals in various colors, as well as diamonds, zircons, opals, pearls - every inlaid leaf
On it, you can almost see various types of gemstones that are absolutely the same, shining brightly, making the entire flower branches linger in an indescribable gorgeous luster.
But what’s even more noticeable are the strange flickers lingering around this luster... They are runes that flicker and appear, wedge-shaped, piled up of dots, slender and rough lines, and even three-dimensional.
Various constructed squares... They linger around the flower branches like stars, spiraling around, forming nine illusory spiral arms, brilliant like a deformed river system...
Then, a voice became louder.;
