Chapter 55 The lost city-state where all your wishes come true (1)
"I accept your truce," Galadia caught the Truth Speaker and blocked his mouth. "The Truth Speaker stays here. You can help your companions, then leave the emblem and leave as soon as possible. Elu
Sha, be careful, I think the smell here is weird."
"I'll pay attention," the huntress looked around warily, "Wait, I think I heard something."
"Have it?"
Galadia and Erza were on guard while disarming each other and seizing the emblem.
Without the special protection provided by the emblem, it would be difficult for the chosen one to withstand the invisible and crazy power in the ruins of Anok. However, the farther away from the core area, the more the invisible damage attenuates. With the blessing of equipment and abilities, those who fail
If one party retreats at full speed from the current position, there is still a high probability of escaping.
If he hadn't escaped... this would have been a fight, and it was expected that he would be buried in the wilderness.
The druid began to use rejuvenation and potions to heal his companions.
The recorder's bones and internal organs were shattered by the high-speed collision of the knight and the horse, and he would die at any time; the truth speaker has been controlled. If the druid wants to take risks after saving the lives of his teammates, Galadia does not mind a three-on-one solution.
he.
The main danger is Naira. I don’t know where this dangerous Hand of God is, and there is no news about Amon who is fighting with him...
According to the tactical arrangement, Griffith rode the skeletal horse and slowly retreated into the shadows. If a new battle broke out, he would once again use his powerful mobility and concealment capabilities to make a surprise attack.
He also felt something was strange.
After calming down from the passion and tension of the battle, he was left with a strange, different feeling from before——
Griffith made a wide range of detours, suppressed the enemy's communications, and captured the position of the recorder, and launched an attack. When the two sides approached a certain distance, he felt that the target had been captured by him and could not escape, so he
It was locked on the impact path as if it were stagnant.
It is common for people who face the charge of heavy cavalry to be frightened by the momentum and unable to move due to fear. Even if they can still move, they often cannot escape the impact range of high-speed cavalry. However, the situation just now was completely different.
In Griffith's view, the Recorder was trapped in a psychic or mysterious cage in some sense, and an invisible energy field grabbed her from the air, depriving her of the ability to sense and act.
This is a completely different form of power from physical attacks and terror techniques.
Griffith clenched his fists, trying to sense this power again. Soon, he heard vague murmurs, and his body was immersed in strange ups and downs as if sinking into the deep sea. Part of the vague murmurs became clear and identifiable.
, brought novel occult knowledge.
He has mastered new extraordinary abilities——
Choke. The war knight can use psychic energy to squeeze the opponent's throat at medium and short range, lift or pull the target, interrupt skills, suffocate or even break the neck. When the knight's power becomes more powerful, he can attack more
Enemies at a distance use this ability. The extraordinary ability "Chrooke" has high priority and is exempt from most silence and skill control. It is difficult to resist. Strong emotions such as passion, murderous intent and anger will enhance this power.
Stasis Cage (field). The War Knight creates a powerful psychic barrier that surrounds the target. The target placed within it will be deprived of its five senses, lose judgment and ability to act. The extraordinary ability "Stasis Cage" has higher priority than
It has a higher field priority and is immune to most silences and skill controls. Only truly powerful and determined heroes can contend.
Griffith's mind was shaking and agitated. He suddenly felt that there was a special atmosphere permeating the air of Anok city-state. The dangerous characteristics permeating it were strengthening his power and eroding the power of Sequence 5 of the Spellbreaker Pathway.
Unknown barrier.
The new strength of the war knights is growing!
Ten minutes later, Amon still did not come back, and Naira did not appear either. Baron Zeno, who was sweating profusely, initially controlled the injuries of his teammates and began to remove his emblem honestly.
Seeing that her opponent kept her promise, Galadia also released the Truth Speaker: "Baron Zeno, I will pray to the Silver Moon and Starlight Goddess to give you safety and mental blessings, and protect you from leaving here smoothly."
Druid and his teammates made a simple stretcher and put the record officer, who was already furious, on it. Although he was out, he didn't look very sad and spoke calmly:
"Thank you for your kindness and kindness, Miss Elf. If I have time, I would like to exchange my views on the future of Beyelan and Canaan with you. However, now we have to run for our lives, and Yulia cannot stand in this state.
how long."
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something: "There is something I feel I must say -
"Before I fought with you, I met Prince Commodus,
"We wanted to challenge, but the prince's situation is very strange."
This druid talks a lot, but he is not a bad person... Galadia asked: "Why is it strange?"
"He kept mumbling words that looked like traitors, thieves, and robbers. His face was as gloomy as the Black Mountain, which scared us away. The two teammates around him looked very frightened and even desperate.
"," Druid said, "The news of the king's attack must have made him very uneasy, but his appearance was as if he was rushing to sign a contract with the abyss."
"He doesn't have many emblems in his hand," Erza asked doubtfully, "Is it because he didn't notice you at all?"
"He definitely discovered us," the Truth Speaker on the side added, "He just ignored it, as if our emblem was completely unimportant, and headed straight into the darkness."
Everyone looked to the southeast, to the high mountain surrounded by snow peaks and clouds. In the desolate night, this ancient mountain peak looked even more mysterious and ferocious.
The howling wind was like a flute with strange melodies, calling for something.
"We are going to say goodbye and wish you good luck." The druid and his companions were about to leave and bid farewell to the elf and her friends. "Although I am a little reluctant, I am actually relieved that I have to evacuate. The elf
Miss, Miss Huntress, I have a feeling that being able to withdraw now is a good thing that we should be extremely grateful for."
"You're such a long-winded little bear," Erza smiled and tilted her head, "Let's go quickly."
"We, the chosen ones, are here to collect emblems. The victors pray to the gods and call for miracles to come. This is supposed to be the case, right?" The chattering Druid said in a low voice, "But,
As soon as I came here, I had a feeling that something else was sleeping under that black mountain peak.
"Furthermore, neither the divine revelation nor the Arcane Council has any information telling us which god to pray to or where to pray.
"Don't you think it's strange? The Sacrifice of the Chosen One is an ancient ritual. Even if there are discrepancies in the relevant procedures, it shouldn't be so ambiguous."
He just talked to himself in such a long way until he and his companions disappeared into the night.
…
In the early morning of January 3, Griffith, Galadia and Erza continued to trek through the ruins of the long-abandoned city-state. They had penetrated deep into this mysterious forbidden land and were getting closer and closer to the core area.
Amon could not be contacted at all. It seemed that after the encounter with Naira, both of them evaporated out of thin air. The other teams of chosen ones were scattered in this vast ruins, and it was hard to find a trace. Looking around, there was only a desolate and sad scene.
.
The three of them became more and more silent as they walked, as if the end of their journey was a secret abyss with no return, a dead end with no return.
"Hey, guys."
Erza finally broke the silence. Her swaying red ponytail was like a flame, one of the few signs of enthusiasm in the darkness: "I vaguely feel that I have become more powerful, and I can even push open the door of Sequence 5 at any time. You guys
Do you feel this way?"
"Really?" Galadia moved her pointed ears, "I just kept wandering and thinking about other things."
"Hallucination? Or what?" Griffith asked hurriedly.
"It's not a hallucination, I just keep thinking about what will happen to everyone's life after Canaan's heating and magic energy supply problems," Miss Elf said, "I grew up there, and many of my friends are there.
There. I felt them calling me."
"Call you?!!" Griffith and Erza were both shocked.
"It's not that scary. It's just that as a citizen of Canaan, I feel that I need to do something." Galadia waved her hands hurriedly, "It's not like I heard a strange sound or anything."
"Well, if you feel any discomfort, please tell us," Griffith said a little nervously. "I also feel that I am making a breakthrough. The environment here may really enhance our strength."
"It's only been a few months since you were promoted to Extraordinary~" Erza stuck out her tongue, "Why is my little brother trying to catch up with me~ There must be something wrong with this!"
"Why do you care so much about this?" Griffith asked, "We are extraordinary beings and more importantly commanders. After being promoted to senior commanders, we cannot go to the front line in person like we did in the past. Human beings have limits.
, too strong individual power is often accompanied by the risk of inhuman mutation, or even straying into the confusing nonsense of those abyss existence, which is not a good thing."
"In your opinion, stopping at the extraordinary is something to be happy about?" The huntress pointed to the sky, "Don't you want to transcend this skin, see the mysteries above the nine heavens, and hold the stars and the sea in your hands?"
"This is impossible even for demigods!"
"For demigods, this is indeed the case, but if you don't give it a try, who knows where the limit is?" Erza looked up at the distant sky covered by light clouds, "I remember...
"I can't tell when the memory was, but it is deeply imprinted there. The endless galaxy that cannot be forgotten is just around the corner. It is both real and illusory, and it is full of brilliance."
Griffith was attracted by these words and couldn't help but look up. Beside him, Erza calmed down her divergent emotions and regained her composure. However, she looked at the center of Anok city-state, which was getting closer and closer.
The city and the black mountain peak that seems to never be reached seem to be still lingering on and whispered:
"It seems that there, my wish will be fulfilled."
…
The extraordinary physique of the extraordinary allowed the three of them to continue to move after a small amount of rest and food. The surrounding scenery began to become more and more gorgeous. At the end of the white stone street made of jade, there stood a magnificent tower, with a magnificent rotating top.
The crystal is still crystal clear after twenty years of wind and sun, which is shocking. The endless flow of magical energy stirs up faint ripples and red lightning in the air.
This is the Senate of the city-state of Annock. Griffith feels that this place is somewhat similar to Canaan. It is worthy of being a powerful magical city-state.
Although the Arcane Council did not designate a place where miracles can be summoned, there is no doubt that the ruins of the Senate in the center of the city-state store Annock's treasure. Some of the psychic equipment there may still be able to operate, as long as they are slightly modified.
Adjustments can be a powerful aid to detect enemies and attack.
Therefore, it makes sense that the chosen ones arrive first and occupy the place.
At six o'clock in the morning, the location sensor arrived as scheduled. A dark red hot spot clearly appeared near the Griffiths and the three of them, approaching at high speed.
"Get ready to fight!" Galadia said.
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision——
Commodus, the prince of Bayerland, roared past with astonishing momentum like a prairie fire. He rushed towards the hall of Anok Senate and disappeared into the darkness, completely ignoring the Galadia team not far away.
The prince was alone, and none of his allies or subordinates followed him.
"Catch up, but don't scatter!" Erza, who has the most combat experience, said, "There is an indoor area with complex terrain ahead. If you are trapped by a 'living' sealed object alone, you will be in danger!"
