Angel ran towards the road he came from. He had walked this road before and knew that it was not too dangerous, so he ran very fast. After a while, he came to the trench that was about 500 meters wide when he first landed.
.
In the soul state, he could not accurately feel the turbulence of the ocean current. He could only use Qili's senses to judge whether the big octopus continued to pursue him.
"There is no problem with the water flow, but..." Qili glanced at Luna who was held in her arms. Its body was still shaking vaguely: "Luna's condition is not right. I guess she is still chasing her."
When Angel heard this, he simply continued running forward. According to the width of the double walls of this trench, if it continued to shrink, the big octopus wouldn't be able to get in even if it didn't take long to run.
Illuminated by Qili's fire, Angel rushed forward again.
This sprint took less than half an hour. As he thought, the width of the two walls continued to shrink, and it was even less than a hundred meters at the back, and the slope began to go up, and it should be almost the end of the trench.
"It should be safe here. It's difficult to squeeze in with its size, and Luna can't smell that guy's breath."
When Qili said this, Angel let them go and returned to his physical body.
Qili silently witnessed Angel's series of actions. Although she was curious about how Angel achieved such speed and why he had to leave his body, she did not ask. This involved someone else's secret method.
, just hide the doubts in your heart.
After Angel returned to his physical body, he felt dizzy for a while.
Before he could say a word, his eyes went dark and he fell into coma.
…
"The prophet does not care about the past, and the altar will always be a high platform. Holding the sword of beauty and auspiciousness can open up the past and reach the final place."
Angel was half asleep and half awake when he heard someone whispering in his ear. He opened his eyes vaguely, only to feel the dim light and a red dance shoe moving back and forth in his hazy vision.
The air was very fresh, with a faint aroma... He had smelled this smell in Sanders' study, and it seemed to be some kind of relaxing fragrance.
Angel couldn't help but take a deep breath, and suddenly, he paused.
The air? The aroma? Isn't he at the bottom of the sea? The memories before coma came back to the brain one after another.
Angel's eyes opened quickly and he sat up.
He looked around and found that he was actually in a stone house, with a bed made of corals underneath him... There was no water vapor around, and the air had a high oxygen content.
On the wall, there is a portable oil lamp that Qili likes to carry in her hand. The relaxing smell comes from the oil lamp.
"Are you awake?" Qili seemed to have heard Angel's movements and walked over from another connected concierge, "How do you feel?"
Angel turned around and looked over. Under the dim light of the fire, Qili's face was rarely so cold, with a hint of warmth.
"Not bad." Angel rubbed his temples, feeling the blood gradually calming down in his body, and nodded to Qili: "Thank you."
"No need to thank you, you also saved me." Qili walked to the wall, took off the oil lamp, and held it in her hand: "I did a little check when you were unconscious. You drank witch soup too frequently, and you became ill again."
It has not been integrated into the blood, causing the qi and blood to be too strong, which led to your coma."
At the end, Qili stood in front of Angel and said in a slightly complicated tone: "Your body is too weak. Even if you don't want to inject blood, you can still exercise it through other methods, and you won't have to drink some."
The witch's soup will not make up for it."
Angel also roughly guessed the reason for his coma, and scratched his head in confusion: "The time for practice is too tight, and I can't take it into consideration."
Qili also knew very well that Angel had only entered the wizarding world for a short time, and his alchemy was so strong that he obviously spent a lot of time learning it. Under such circumstances, he could still take into account his own combat power. Being able to do this,
It's already pretty good.
She now understood that what Angel lacked was not combat power or advanced knowledge, but some basic things, such as basic common sense and basic physical training.
"After leaving the Purification Garden, think of ways to increase your physical strength." After Qili said these last words, she turned and walked out of the door.
Angel actually had the opportunity to come into contact with the bloodline, and it was not difficult to purchase the bloodline with his financial resources. However, Sanders asked him not to inject the bloodline for the time being. It was best for his bloodline to be mainly creatures from the nightmare world, and then he stopped
Angel's thoughts.
Of course, as Qili said, there are other ways to increase physical strength even without injecting blood. But his personality is more academic, unlike Nausicaa, who likes to let his muscles speak, so this year he has basically been immersed in
When it comes to studying magic and improving alchemy skills, my body has never been tempered.
It seems that after leaving this time, I really need to improve my physical strength.
A dignified second-level apprentice, he is also the backbone among the apprentices. As a result, he drank the elementary witch soup, which caused him to become exhausted and eventually passed out. If this kind of thing were told, everyone would probably laugh out loud.
Angel shook his head and stood up.
He followed Qili's footsteps and came to another room. Qili stood in front of a wall, thinking quietly.
Angel walked over and found that on the wall facing Qi Li was a totem of a mermaid, with a row of text below. He raised his eyebrows: "Is this the fortress of Frogskin?"
Qili said calmly: "After you fell into coma, I took you a while further and found this building at the end of the trench..."
Qili seemed to be thinking about her words, and after a while she finally managed to say: "Watching tower? Let's call it a watching tower."
A watchtower under the sea?
The role of a watchtower is generally to serve as a warning. What is the purpose of building a watchtower here to guard against? The sea beast he destroyed, or the giant octopus that looks similar to King Ink Touch?
Angel shook off the complicated thoughts and asked a more realistic question: "How long have I been in a coma?"
"Less than ten hours."
Ten hours doesn't sound too long. But Angel doesn't know when the sacrifice of the Sea of Purification will begin. He has wasted these ten hours. If he wants to find the exit earlier, he must act as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once the sacrifice begins, there is only a dead end.
As soon as the sense of urgency in his heart was raised, Angel also suppressed other nonsense thoughts and talked to Qi Li about the current problem: "What is written on the wall, is it related to the exit?"
Qili was silent for a moment: "It seems to be related."
Then she read out the short text word for word in common language: "The prophet does not ask about the past, and the altar will always be a high platform. Holding the sword of beauty and auspiciousness can open up the past and reach the end."
After finishing the recitation, Qili frowned and said: "If I guessed correctly, this final place should be our destination. However, according to the speculation of this sentence, if you want to reach the final place, you must maintain a good attitude.
'Sword of Rui', what is this thing?"
Angel also fell into deep thought, but the meaning of this sentence was actually very obvious. The key words were the Sword of Meirui and the Land of the End.
What is the Sword of Mei Rui? There should not be an unsolvable question in the Mechanical City. The Sword of Mei Rui must be in the Sea of Purification. Is it a real sword? In other words, it is a symbol with similar meaning.
thing?
After thinking about it for a long time, Angel suddenly remembered the first underwater building he encountered. There were countless times more murals and texts than here: "I have some texts here, please interpret them.
, are there any clues about the Sword of Mei Rui?"
As Angel spoke, he completely simulated the scene he saw at that time.
From mermaid totems, to murals, to text, Angel simulated many of them and presented them in front of Qi Li with illusions.
Qili was originally searching for clues about the "Sword of Meirui" in her mind. When she saw the pictures and texts in the illusion, her eyes suddenly froze and she read it carefully.
There was magic flashing in her eyes from time to time, and after a while, the energy fluctuations in Qili's body stopped.
She looked a little tired, but her expression was a little more cheerful.
"Yes, there is a record of the Meirui Sword on it!" Qili looked at Angel, "The Meirui Sword is not a sword, it is the heart scale of the ancestor of the Jiu tribe that the Jiu Ge tribe worships."
"The Qiuge tribe? The Qiu tribe?" Angel read this convoluted name, completely confused.
"The Jiu Ge tribe is the frog-skinned monster you are talking about. This is what the Jiu tribe refers to." Qili pointed to the mermaid on the mural: "This kind of ugly mermaid is the Jiu tribe. It is also the ancestor worshiped by the Jiu Ge tribe.
spirit."
"You mean, the mermaid is the ancestor of the frogskin?"
Qili nodded.
Angel looked surprised.
I originally thought that mermaids were products of some kind of belief, but I didn’t expect that they were passed down from one generation to the next. However, the ancestors were at least a bit human. Although they were also ugly, the Jiuge tribe was really ugly. Who did these mermaids give birth to?
Is there anything wrong with their aesthetics? Thinking about the process, I think it’s too heavy on taste.
Qili then translated the entire paragraph.
The text on the wall is indeed a supplementary introduction to the murals. The first few murals record the daily life of the Jiuge people, and the last few murals are the focus.
"The Altar of Ending is the final place of the Sauge Clan. There are many priests of the Sauge Clan there, and they are also served by the Sauge Clan. They will perform sacrifices to the gods here. If you want to enter here, you need the Sword of Meirui to guide you.
." Qili pointed to the last mural, the place full of sunshine, which is the altar of finality.
"God? What kind of ghost is this?" Angel originally thought that the mermaid totem should be the god that the frog skinned believed in, but it turned out not to be the case. But now a god has escaped again. What kind of ghost is this new god?
Qili shook her head: "There is no record of it, but look at this picture."
Qili pointed to a mural in the middle. It was a cloud that wrapped all the Jiuge people together. Below the cloud was a gentle wave.
"The record of this painting is ominous, but the theme seems to be 'moving'. I have a guess that maybe the Jiuge people are not the native race of the Purification Garden, but were moved in. The picture shows the record of moving, and the people below the clouds and mist
The surface of the water, I guess, is the sea of purification.”
Angel also understood what Qili meant: "According to your inference, you are saying that Sky Mechanical City moved this ethnic group into the Sea of Purification. And the final Altar of End, the gods they worship, are actually...
People from Sky Mechanical City?”
Qili nodded: "That should be the case."
It was not yet certain whether the Altar of Ending was their destination. But if Qili's speculation was true, then the Altar of Ending must be their final destination.
Angel did not speculate on why Sky Mechanical City did this. The most important issue now was to find the Altar of Finality.
However, the question arises again. Where can I find the Sword of Meirui?
