The darkness of the sky, the gloomy sky, the old wooden houses, the villages and towns covered with fungi. Everything here is filled with deathly silence, the ground is seeping with black water due to the decay of the branches and leaves, and the air is filled with the smell of damp mold everywhere.
Under the protection of two teams of soldiers, Eliza shuttled through a dark forest. The trees here had long lost their green leaves, twisted dead branches, and decayed bark. Everything looked so ugly. The soldier was Disman
The Republican Guard, although this is not within the territory of the Disman Kingdom, but in the face of such a catastrophic disaster, the only one who can still send troops to protect the sages of the Holy Garden is Disman.
The guard captain's name was Bismarck. He took two people to the front to investigate, and came back and said: "If we go further, we will be close to the impact crater of the meteorite."
Eliza nodded: "Tell everyone to be careful and don't be careless just because you didn't encounter any big trouble along the way."
Bismarck was a loyal, brave and careful man. He had been sent to many countries as a military attache. He ordered his soldiers to set up a warning formation, and the knights marched forward unhurriedly and on armored horses. After walking for more than an hour, the surroundings
Fallen trees began to appear, and the farther you went, the more trees were broken in radial patterns. Among these dead branches and rotten trees were mixed the corpses of many animals and monsters. The stench of rotting corpses suddenly blew over with the wind from time to time, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable.
There is no life here at all. The carrion-eating animals and plants look at this group of people from a distance, including birds flying in the sky, and maggots and old vines. Especially those carrion-eating wolves. These wolves already exude a foul smell, and they always
He lowered his head gloomily, and his tail and wet and knotted hair were drooping, giving people a very gloomy feeling, especially in this dark environment, the pair of pairs in the dim light
The eyes reflecting red light are very uncomfortable, as if there are always a group of creatures waiting for you to die.
The well-trained war horses were disturbed by this atmosphere, but fortunately they remained calm under the control of their owners. Elisa held the reins with her gloved hand, and held the 'Sun King' staff in her other hand.
, the sun disk-shaped staff head that looks like a flame is emitting bright light, dispelling the darkness and cold evil atmosphere around it.
After walking for a long time, they arrived at the edge of the impact crater. Due to the light, they could not see the full picture of the crater, let alone the situation at the bottom of the crater. But when everyone stood on the edge of the crater and watched this scene, they were deeply moved.
The ground was shaken.
"This is the biggest crater~!" The soldiers commented one after another: "It's terrible. Fortunately, it didn't fall directly on the capital of our country..."
"Don't say such things, the City of Angels is favored by God." Another soldier said: "But this is just one of the largest craters. It is not necessarily the largest one, but it must be the one that causes the most damage.
"
Sage Eliza lamented: "According to the statistics collected previously, this meteorite caused the complete destruction of 94 large, medium and small cities, and countless people were killed."
Bismarck said: "The Republic sent people to investigate the situation in the southernmost part of the crater. Across the straight line from here, the diameter of the crater is estimated to be about 390 kilometers. Two countries and four city-states disappeared directly."
Elisa had also learned this information when she came. She frowned deeply and could not express her inner feelings at the moment. However, she came with a mission this time, to conduct on-site inspections of the crater and its surroundings, and to estimate the intensity of light in the sky.
The amount of dust raised, and looking for potential dangers and rescue measures. The so-called potential danger is to worry about whether some huge and terrifying monsters are injured or alarmed, and whether these injured and alarmed monsters will come out of the disaster area and attack people outside.
towns and villages.
In fact, this kind of thing is already happening. Not long ago, the disaster area bordering the World of Warcraft Forest was attacked by the Cracking Beast, and several villages and towns were destroyed. In the north of the mainland, giant dragons also emerged from the mountains and attacked the city.
The reason is that multiple meteorites fell into the deserted mountains.
Not only giant monsters, but also many frightened large and medium-sized monsters attacked human villages and towns in groups. Many of them came out to hunt because of lack of food, but more often because their habitats were destroyed, they migrated to human territory.
As the Twelve Sages of the Holy Garden, they came forward to coordinate and handle such incidents, and Eliza took on this task. At the same time, her status as the Desman Kingdom can better deal with the most affected areas.
Work.
Eliza pulled her long blond hair behind her head, tied it up with a rope and said to Bismarck: "General, you stay here, I will take a few people down to the bottom of the pit to have a look."
"How can this be done?" Bismarck said respectfully: "You are the sage of the Holy Garden and the glory of our Desmans. It is my turn to do this kind of menial work. The great consul sent us to accompany you, except on the way.
I'm here to protect and take care of you. Just stay here and wait. If there is any danger later, I will handle it."
Eliza was helpless. She knew that with her status, General Bismarck would never allow her to lead people down, so she said: "Then you and I will lead two more people down, and the rest will stay above to wait for the response."
Bismarck thought for a while and nodded: "That's good."
They assigned personnel and began to descend into the crater. Judging from the estimated diameter of the crater of 390 kilometers, the depth of the crater must be extremely deep. There were many black or reddish-brown crystals in the impact area inside the crater.
, these are crystal ores formed by impact and high temperature. Eliza randomly picked up a few representative pieces, roughly identified them, then took out the container and sealed them, ready to take them back for careful study.
They walked down the crater for about an hour and a half, stepping on soft rocks and crystal soil. Because they were walking slowly, it seemed that they were still far from the bottom. By this time, they could already smell a strong smell of scorched earth.
It smells bad, and the air is still filled with thin gray-black smoke, with a bit of sulfur fumes.
Elisa and the others were already prepared and put on thick cotton masks, but just as they were about to continue entering the smoke-filled area, there was movement from below the gentle slope of the pit.
"What's the sound?" The soldier stretched his neck nervously and looked into the dark smoke. The sound came so suddenly that he couldn't distinguish the distance from it for a moment.
"There may be monsters in the wild ambushing here, so be careful." Some soldiers said, but Bismarck didn't think so. He walked at the bottom, and he was the one with the most protection on his body, so he naturally took on the role of exploring the path. He
He turned back and motioned to Eliza not to move for the time being, and went down to take a look first. But before he could go down, a soft female laughter came from the mist, which made everyone else's hair go crazy.
Every soldier's eyes widened, as if they were wondering whether there would be anyone in this ghost place?
The chuckle was short and died out quickly. Bismarck was also a little hairy. He waved back and said, "Come three people with me." After that, he led the people into the smoke.
Eliza also wanted to go with her, but she didn't want to cause trouble to the general. Although she was one of the Twelve Sages of the Holy Garden, she was a typical academic, proficient in magic and knowledgeable, but she was not good at fighting. It could be said that
She is the sage with the weakest actual combat ability in the Holy Garden. Of course, who is the weakest depends on who she is. For all the magicians in the world, she is certainly not weak.
After a while, frightened screams suddenly came from the smoke, followed by screams and fighting sounds. The soft female laughter sounded briefly again, and then there was the roar of a monster, and the sound was very brief and chaotic.
The soldiers around the sage were all extremely nervous. They formed a circle with weapons and shields in their hands, protecting the sage in the center. At this time, there was no movement in the smoke. Just when everyone was in shock, a bloody
The figure suddenly burst out of the smoke, startling everyone. After a closer look, they discovered that it was General Bismarck.
Bismarck ran out yelling: "Go quickly, there is danger inside!"
"What's going on, General?!" As soon as Elisa finished speaking, a black ape-like object flew out, stretching out two strange black hands of incomprehensible length to grab Bismarck's back.
Without saying a word, Elisa immediately used magic. A solid light shield covered the general, blocking the flying black hands. Then the High Sun King raised it high, and the flames like sunlight burned into the fog.
The black fog in the fog let out a shrill scream, and then turned into a female voice chuckling, and then the black shadows bloomed like flames with magic light in the fog. Under the light of Elisha's magic, everyone's shadows all burned, and a raging shadow fire was set off.
Black flame!
Eliza was shocked, her magic instantly changed, and a ball of light enveloped her and everyone else and disappeared.
