A black stone was rolling carelessly on the abandoned street of Rose District. After hearing the footsteps, it stopped suddenly and pretended to be an ordinary stone.
Angel and Gentleman Fei opened their legs and stepped over this small stone.
After Angel walked over it, he seemed to sense something and stopped. The mental power he put behind him for warning gave him a strange perspective.
I saw that the inconspicuous black stone suddenly started to roll, and as it rolled, dark signs appeared on the ground. These black marks seemed inconspicuous at first, but after careful inspection, it became clear that
It was discovered that these traces were not simply traces, but a swarm of black double-winged, antipodal insects.
These black bugs looked insignificant, but when Angel saw their true appearance, his expression changed slightly.
In order to cultivate amoebas, he once went to the library in Nice to read the manuscripts left by the legendary wizard "Heart of the Swarm" Incecote.
In Insecott's manuscript, there is a kind of insect called Chironomia, which occupies an important space. Insecott even wrote an entire category specifically for Chironomia.
This kind of bug, which is as big as dust, is not very powerful on its own. But when they come together, even if they are only as small as a water droplet, they can eat the flesh of a dragon and the blood of a demon.
It can be said that Chironomia is a symbol of true group consciousness.
Insecott's nickname is "The Heart of the Swarm" because he likes to study insect swarms with group consciousness and calm execution. Chironomia is one of the extraordinary insect swarms that Insecott admires most.
It is a pity that this kind of terrifying insect swarm has disappeared over time and disappeared in the rolling river.
Angel was quite emotional when he turned to the chapter about Chironomia before. Because Chirononia has a third-order immobilization reaction, it can be used as a unique high-level alchemical fire in alchemy.
With the extinction of Chironomia, the flames produced by this third-order fixed-incineration reaction also disappeared.
Angel never expected to see Chironomia again here.
But at this moment, Angel couldn't feel any emotion in his heart, but instead felt a deep anxiety. Chironomia is an insect with a very high upper limit, and the more insects there are, the more terrifying the damage it will cause.
If so many Chironomia appear in the outside world, it will definitely be a disaster.
Even if Rhine personally leads a team to kill these Chironchomonas, he may not be able to get rid of them all, and may even be disturbed by them.
Compared with illusions and illusions, the damage that Chironomia can cause is more intuitive.
And there are so many Chironomia here... Angel can't imagine how much trouble they will cause after leaving the Star Pool. The only good thing is that Chironomia should also need the breath of the nightmare world to exert its full strength.
.
"Your Excellency Shawa?" Gentleman Fei turned his head. Although he couldn't see his face, it was clear from his tone that he seemed to be curious about why Angel stopped.
Angel paused for about two seconds, but his thoughts went through his mind for several rounds.
"Nothing." Angel's expression did not change and he continued to walk as if nothing had happened.
Gentleman Fei glanced behind Angel. After seeing a group of Chironomia, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Isn't this an ordinary demon insect? Is it worthy of Your Majesty Sawa's special stop?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Gentleman Fei did not ask, but when he saw Sharapova continuing to move forward, he temporarily put aside his doubts and started on the road again.
Along the way, Angel walked very calmly, but there were constant ripples in his heart.
Before he could get over the shock given by Chironchomonas, he felt some terrifying auras in the abandoned houses shrouded in mist around him. Some of the owners of the terrifying auras revealed part of their true appearance.
And these slightly exposed monsters are all powerful monsters. Almost all of these monsters can be recorded in the legend part of "The Fantastic Monsters and Where to Find Them".
If these monsters came to reality, they would cause no less damage than Chironomia!
Perhaps seeing Angel looking at the surrounding houses from time to time, Mr. Fei explained smoothly: "The creatures here are all projected from the Rose District, but they are very ordinary, because creatures with a little personality will choose
Like Baron Rose, he doesn't want to be projected here."
Angel thought in his heart: "..." These monsters that can shake things up in the outside world are actually just "very ordinary" in Gentleman Fei's words.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems right.
When Angel went to Naraku City, he saw a large number of monsters in the underground waterways of Naraku City. Those monsters ranged from apprentice level to formal wizard level. Naraku City is the most edge area of the nightmare world, and the monsters were already like this;
If you get a little closer to the core area of the nightmare world, the monsters will be even more terrifying.
The Rose Zone in the Heartland is probably an area closer to the core of the Nightmare Realm, so the strength of the monsters here is naturally higher.
Although Angel can figure this out, it is still difficult for him to accept these terrifying monsters and live in harmony here.
But the nightmare world is a nightmare world after all, and it is completely unnecessary to follow the logic of reality in the nightmare world.
There is no complete logic here, only endless absurdity and unpredictable weirdness.
Perhaps because he saw too many terrifying monsters, Angel became calmer and calmer until the end. Upon closer inspection, he didn't really feel calm, he could only be said to be numb.
Anyway, these monsters didn't show any desire to attack them, they just treated them as if they were visiting the zoo.
They walked in the abandoned Rose District for about ten minutes. Seeing that there was still a long and quiet street in front of them, Gentleman Fei suddenly stopped, took Angel and turned around, and came to a dark river.
The river was filled with water as dark as ink. Angel was not curious at all why the water was black, because he saw several huge skeletons in the river. Even if they were dead, these skeletons still exuded a formidable aura.
These skeletons are probably the price of curiosity.
Angel just needs to follow the gentleman. In this strange world, he should try his best to restrain his curiosity so that he can live longer.
Not long after walking along the river, Angel saw a bridge emitting iridescent light.
This rainbow-like bridge looks very dazzling in this dark and abandoned Rose District, and it has its own eye-catching aura.
If Angel was exploring by himself at this time, he would never step onto this bridge easily. Because the more dazzling the existence, the more likely it is to be deceitful.
However, Gentleman Fei stopped by the bridge, and it was obvious that their next step was to cross the bridge.
Gentleman Fei did not cross the bridge immediately, but waited for a few seconds. As the ground shook slightly, a luminous stone monument suddenly rose directly in front of the Rainbow Bridge.
The stone tablet grew a mouth and said a long sentence:
"Rainbow Mountain is a sacred food territory. If you want to step into Rainbow Mountain, you must answer my three questions first! If the answer is correct, you will be allowed to cross the bridge; if the answer is wrong, you can also enter the mountain, but you will be treated as food...
"
After finishing speaking, the stone tablet grew eyes, ready to watch those crossing the bridge.
When the stone tablet saw Mr. Fei, it had no reaction. It naturally knew Mr. Fei, but rules are rules. If you want to cross the bridge, you still have to abide by the rules.
However, when the stone tablet looked at Angel, its eyes suddenly stopped.
…
“What does one plus one equal?”
"What is the mountain behind me called?"
"What color is the water in the river?"
When Angel stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, he was still a little confused. He originally thought that the three questions asked by the stone tablet were very difficult, but he didn't expect that they were so simple. The answer to the second question was even said before by the stone tablet.
The original words!
Gentleman Fei saw Angel's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
"Actually, if Your Excellency Shawa answers wrongly and says that the water in the river is colorful, it will let you pass." Gentleman Fei said lightly: "Because, you are Your Excellency Shawa."
If anyone else were to cross this bridge, the questions asked by the stone tablet would definitely make people scratch their heads and not be able to answer them.
Even Mr. Fei himself will be asked some profound questions when he wants to cross this bridge.
However, Gentleman Fei usually does not cross this bridge. He has other ways to go to various areas in the land of Xinnai. The reason why he took this road this time was simply to take His Excellency Sawa to inspect Xinnai Land.
progress.
This is also a task secretly assigned to him by Master Nuka. He hopes that Sir Shawa will have a deeper understanding of this place. It is best to take this opportunity to get Sir Shawa to agree to a banquet on the day of the moon sacrifice in the future.
Although Gentleman Fei himself is not from the Nuka family, since he has come to the land of regret, he still has to listen to some of Nuka's words. The task assigned by Nuka this time is not too illegal, so Gentleman Fei will naturally not refuse.
After Angel heard what Gentleman Fei said, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down. The confusion in his heart was finally cleared up. No wonder the problem was so simple, it turned out to be because of Sharapova's identity.
The journey from Duoling Garden to the present has proved that Sawa's identity is very useful among the nightmare community. This is probably the biggest insight he gained after entering this ruins this time.
After all, Angel didn't think he was Sharapova, so when he realized this, his mood was actually a little subtle. But he was the winner after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood to face the next journey.
.
…
After they stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, a faint fog appeared around them. When they stepped off the bridge, the fog immediately disappeared, and an undulating mountain appeared directly in front of them.
Angel looked back and saw that the Rainbow Bridge was still there, but at the other end of the bridge was a forest, and below the bridge, there was no black river water, but pink river water.
Before, when he was near the river in Rose District, Angel clearly saw that the opposite side of the river was also an abandoned urban area, and the opposite side of the Rainbow Bridge was definitely not the Rainbow Mountain.
But now that they have crossed the bridge, everything has changed drastically. It is obvious that the bridge, like the chimneys in the Duo Ling Garden and the mushrooms in the Rose Castle Garden, is a medium that connects other regions.
Angel now understands that every area here has no direct way to other areas, and must go through a medium.
And these media, even if you can find them, are not that easy to get through.
The chimney in the Doling Garden can be possessed by madness, and you must have the madness' consent to leave; the mushroom in the Rose Castle Garden has a passage because its mouth is the passage, so this medium may become a passage or be swallowed up; after thinking about the Rainbow Bridge,
You must also go through the baptism of three questions...
The deeper Angel understood this land of despair projected from the nightmare world, the more powerless he felt.
He might be able to take advantage of his identity to travel unimpeded. But when it comes to war, it is estimated that it will be difficult for human wizards to penetrate this hinterland.
Seeing Angel standing still for a long time, Gentleman Fei thought that his wandering thoughts had been discovered, so he quickly said: "Your Excellency Shawa, past Rainbow Mountain, you will reach the Lost Candle Passage."
After Angel came back to his senses, he nodded: "Then let's go."
Gentleman Fei took Angel and walked towards Rainbow Mountain in the distance.
The reason why this place is called Rainbow Mountain is because this high mountain is surrounded by a large number of rainbow circles, which are like colorful marshmallows and look quite girlish.
But Angel knew that there was no girl on this rainbow mountain, but a foodie who looked like a meat ball: Davasia.
Speaking of which, for the previous dinner party, the person who liked Angel the most was probably Davasia. Although he clamored to turn the Book of Madness into Skittles when he arrived, as long as he was given something to eat, it didn't matter.
Whether it tastes good or not, he eats it hard.
This kind of desire is simple but persistent. Compared with the complicated hearts of other guests, it is really a breath of fresh air.
Angel is also relatively easy to deal with.
However, this good impression was only relative to that dinner. If it were changed to a larger environment, it would be completely inadequate.
After they entered the Rainbow Mountain area, the first thing they saw was a large number of trees with fruits. These fruits smelled sweet, but if they looked down, they could see that the underground of these fruit trees were all struggling to reach out.
The corpse of hands.
Angel could sense some traces of illusions near the fruit trees. It seems that these fruit trees used illusions to confuse and lure humans into taking the bait, and finally killed them and turned them into nutrients for the growth of the fruit trees.
As a wizard of the illusion system, Angel wanted to feel what kind of illusions these fruit trees could produce.
However, after he and Gentleman Fei stepped into the orchard, there were no signs of being attacked by illusions. Obviously, their identities once again had "immunity".
After passing through the fruit trees, we came to the foot of the mountain.
Angel thought he was going to climb a mountain, but Gentleman Fei didn't take him into the forest. Instead, he came to the foot of the mountain, where there was a raised stone platform.
Angel noticed that there were a lot of patterns painted on the stone platform.
And these lines are all magic lines!
On the territory of creatures from the nightmare world, there is actually a stone platform with magic patterns?
These magic patterns are extremely complicated and can be dazzling at first glance. However, as an alchemist who specializes in enchantment, Angel's analysis of magic patterns is very strong, and he quickly found the context from the confusing magic patterns.
This should be a short-distance teleportation array.
Angel was not very surprised by this result. What he cared about was that the trajectory carved by the magic pattern of this short-distance teleportation array gave him a very familiar feeling.
