After several hours of preparation, the four selected people boarded a small boat in a calm bay near the shore and approached the shore. The Typhon remained alert and sailed toward the open sea, waiting for the rendezvous signal.
The four of them turned on the emblem of the chosen one, forming a silver-white shield that could not only reach attacks, but also protect themselves from the madness and mystery in the ruins.
They walked through the desolate suburbs and came to the ruined hills. The clouds above their heads became lighter, and the desolate and desolate land had a unique mood in the hazy night. The silver moonlight dyed the broken walls, squares and broken towers.
The sky is filled with fantastic colors, almost becoming one with the sky, as if a magic mirror is hung to reflect the heaven and earth.
The deeper you go, the more shocking the scene here becomes. The once prosperous and powerful city-state of Annock was frozen in the summer night of 1425. The outlines of suburban villas and hotels can be seen in the remaining buildings, with long tables and
There were exquisite silverware and porcelain, and jewelry boxes, gold, silver, and dust crystals were scattered under the porch, stretching to the street outside.
Griffith leaned over and picked up a small gold coin. This is Annock's unique currency, a "gold pound" with a history of more than 2,000 years of use. It has exquisite workmanship and high purity. It is better than Beyeland's gold.
The florin was even more valuable; one florin could pay a legionnaire a month's salary.
Everything happened so suddenly, the residents of Annock seemed to suddenly realize that the end was coming, rushed out with their treasures, and then disappeared without a trace...
Soon, the four of them had entered the central area of the city-state, and the surrounding buildings and mage towers were even more luxurious and magnificent. Although no one had maintained it in the past twenty years and had been exposed to wind and sun, the buildings here were still generally complete, and the indoor
The outlines of murals and sculptures still exist. Just as everyone was moving forward cautiously, Amon suddenly came under a mural, pointed at the remnants above and marveled.
As an extraordinary elf from Canaan, he seemed to be aware of ancient secrets hidden in those abstract murals and raised sculpture traces. He studied the strange patterns on the murals with the unique curiosity of a "collector", and was quite interested.
said:
"These humans are very good at discovering alternative sources of magic power. Look at these imprisoned strange creatures. It is obvious that they are not the species we are familiar with."
But in Griffith's view, it was just a series of continuous lines and disordered arcs, ellipses and rectangles, which were both abstract and unfamiliar. He couldn't understand it, and he didn't think it had any practical value.
"This is the official record of the city-state, preserved in the form of murals," Galadia observed for a while and explained to everyone, "Anok has a very powerful magical civilization. Although they have a small population and a small land,
But they still think they have the strength to challenge Canaan and Beyelan. These murals and sculptures record their process of studying magic and exploring its origins. They are valuable occult knowledge, which may be worth learning from Canaan."
Hearing this, Amon nodded frequently and even expressed the hope that he could stop here for a while and let him learn more about it: "These murals extend all the way to the mage tower in the core area. We can go there to investigate."
Griffith looked forward along the road. It was an intricate, maze-like complex of buildings. Deep in the eaves and domes stood a tall mage tower, which seemed to be built of white stone and decorated with gold, blue and scarlet.
color.
"This road is too cramped and you may be ambushed," he shook his head, expressing his disagreement. "We must try our best to use your long-range capabilities in an area with good visibility."
"I only need five minutes, no, three minutes will do. I want to copy some..." Amon murmured, reluctant to leave the mural.
"If you don't go to the Mage Tower, you can go this way to the city-state's secret vault," Erza looked at the map for a while and pointed in another direction, "Maybe you can find many rare treasures."
"I don't have such worldly desires."
My only concern is to help Galadia get closer to the miracle as soon as possible, and then leave safely. I don't care about the inheritance and wealth of the lost city-state... Griffith thought firmly, and even snorted,
He turned around and kicked the side wall, trying to open a path between the houses and get to a place with a better view.
"boom!"
With this kick, the wall fell down, and instead of seeing an open space, there was a dazzling stream flowing in front of them.
Countless gold coins, large sapphires and rubies, and many vessels made of gold and silver, jewelry flowed out of the holes in the wall like water.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!" The gold coins fell one after another, making a breathtaking and sweet sound, which penetrated into the hearts of everyone present. The gold sand flowed into the pure gold wine glass like a waterfall, making a rustling sound; inlaid
The bejeweled goblet tipped over at the moment when the gold overflowed and fell into a string of pearls.:.
"Wow~"
The wonderful sound stirs people's hearts, as if a tinkling clear spring appears in front of a thirsty traveler in the desert.
"It's so beautiful!" Griffith secretly exclaimed. The azure blue and crimson gems dotted the golden river, flashing with intoxicating colors, making his eyes sparkle.
Galadia saw her boyfriend staring at the stream of gold, silver and pearls with wide eyes, as if he wanted to swallow them in one gulp. For a moment, she thought she was standing next to a dragon greedy for money.
"Hey~ Don't you have such worldly desires?" Galadia held Griffith's face and slowly turned him around like a puppet to look at her, "Am I more important or is gold more important?"
"Um……"
"Look, he hesitated!" Erza covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's just some shiny metal and stone, don't you care?" Miss Elf stood on tiptoes and kissed the stunned Griffith gently on the lips.
The sweetness and fragrance flowed between the lips and teeth, and the fresh forest breeze rippled in his heart. Griffith suddenly felt that his mind became clearer. He had not felt it before, but a gentle kiss made him hear the lingering sound.
The seductive tones in my ears were fading away, and a strange feeling of intoxication and confusion was pushed away.
Am I under an illusion? Or have I lost my mind? Griffith immediately became alert. He turned to look at the gold sand and gems on the ground. It was indeed tempting, but he shouldn't let himself lose his composure.
"The environment here is abnormal!" Griffith said hurriedly, "I just had a strange feeling..."
"Treasures that are entangled by strange beasts or mysterious things will be tainted with weird auras," Erza said. "The most common treasures are dragon treasures. Even just a little bit can eat people's hearts. In mysticism, this is called the dragon's disease.
, people infected by it will contract the same disease, endless desire and greed for gold and jewelry.”
"I think it's more than that!" Griffith shook his head, "My resistance shouldn't be..."
"Okay, okay~" Galadia patted everyone on the shoulder one by one, "Let's take action. Our mission is to find miracles. As long as we focus on our true wishes, we won't get lost on the wrong path."
…
The four of them walked along the open road for a while towards the core area of the city-state. Griffith walked at the front. He was the forward and shield of the team. Walking at the front, Galadia, who had high perception and high mobility, followed
Behind you.
Miss Elf walked around the team with her nimble and light steps from time to time, scouting the surrounding environment. When she passed by once, Griffith whispered a question that he had always been concerned about:
"So, what is your wish?"
"I'm on guard~"
The girl gave him a complaining look, but still thought about it.
"Canaan has reached the edge of the cliff. If the supply of magic power cannot be restored, my compatriots will fall into chaos, and the cultists will take advantage of the situation. They have already been secretly arranging chess pieces.
"The situation of half-elves and humans is even worse. In the past, when the situation was good, Canaan could still provide them with food, but now even this is very difficult."
Griffith was taken aback. His trip to Canaan left him with many bad memories, but the life of the locals was definitely not one of them. It might not be considered the real Kingdom of God, but it was still possible to have enough food and clothing.
Guaranteed.
"Is it so severe?"
"Yes." Galadia nodded, "Arran is doing better under mother's management, but the situation in other areas is very bad. I am the daughter of the consul, the heir and patriarch of the Villanoy family, this
Sometimes I have to do something.
"If this memorial ceremony can bring them a stable supply of magic power... wait."
A clear feeling swept over like a tide. Even Griffith felt that an illusory map had formed in his mind, with three red dots appearing in the area near them.
The position sensing at twelve o'clock at midnight came, and the two teams of selected people suddenly encountered each other without noticing each other.
Galadia's reaction was extremely fast. Without hesitation, she took off a bracelet and threw it into the sky. The bracelet was like a meteor, flying to the back of the group of people in an instant.
Driven by Galadia's chant, a rift in space instantly opened around her.
The Galadia team launched according to the tactics they had already formulated. While Amon and Erza faced the enemy head-on, Griffith rushed directly into the tunnel opened for him.
As soon as he entered, he felt like he was spinning through a lightless world. The surrounding scenery was exactly the same, but there were no animals or colors.
This section of the road was two to three hundred meters long, but he reached the other end of the tunnel in one second and appeared behind the enemy team. Immediately afterwards, he felt a gentle touch on his shoulder, Galadia
Jumped out from behind.
"Waiting for my vision." Miss Elf's tone was cold. Once she entered the state, her flag was completely different from her previous lively style.
Griffith immediately discovered that in the place where he had just hidden, a figure exactly like Galadia was flashing rapidly, moving towards a nearby tower.
This is a common tactical move for rangers. After contacting the enemy, they immediately seize the high ground with good visibility to suppress the enemy. The enemy team that saw this illusion also concentrated all their attacks at the first time, and the fire and storm attacks almost swallowed them up.
world.
"Come on, Griffith!" Miss Elf gave a gentle push, and Griffith was wrapped in the wind and swung his sword towards the back of an enemy. We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
