At the moment when Ingres flew off the gondola, he suddenly paused, and looked back at the gray wasteland in confusion.

The heavy rain still didn't stop, and the distant edge was full of gray mist, and it was not very clear to see.

"Angels?" Popota jumped onto a dilapidated stone roof and looked back at Angels.

Angel frowned and kept up with Bobota again.

At the same time, in the depths of the rain and mist, in the endless wasteland, stood a lonely, dry tree that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

There was a black crow perched on the tree, and its dead eyes looked out of the crow's pupils at the city in the distance.

"Ku Langduo, do you see anything?" a vicissitudes of life and an archaic voice came.

The crow's wings fluttered a few times, and the entity-like body gradually turned into an illusion. Finally, a figure wearing a black cloak and a crow mask is revealed.

"He seems to have spotted me. An icy ghostly voice sounded from the abyss of death, coming from under the crow's mask.

"It's a very special human ...... There are some miraculous powers, also said in the past. ”

Ku Lang Duo also seems to recall the picture he saw not long ago. The true spirit of a great demon god was killed by a single blow, and such a terrifying power may only be justified by a "miracle".

"I thought I would soon take you to the place of death, but now it seems that you are in luck, Your Highness Wardel. ”

"Hehehe, I haven't heard this name in a long time. Probably, only you remember my name. The old voice sighed in a low voice: "Although the Yuantan Continent has found salvation from the overturn, whether it can get back on track or not is still not something I can decide. ”

"Therefore you have called him from afar. Ku Lang Duo said calmly.

"The patron of miracles may be able to open this box of miracles. ”

Ku Langduo was silent for a while, and did not continue on this topic, but changed his words: "This place has been noticed by other people, including lords and demon gods...... Hopefully next time we meet, not so soon. ”

"The guide of death, bitter. I can understand that you are worried about me?"

Ku Langduo did not answer, but said lightly: "I really left this time, so I can do it myself." ”

With that, Ku Langduo turned into a black crow and flew into the rain in the distance.

After Ku Langduo left for a long time, next to the withered tree, suddenly there was an additional phantom wearing a primitive totem mask, and the phantom stood by the dead tree, letting the rain keep falling.

The lonely tree, and the lonely figure, are like a gray painting in the rain.

After an unknown amount of time, the phantom glanced in the direction of the wasteland city, and finally disappeared.

......

Angel soon arrives in the land of Grivure's call.

Grewood stood on a wide, rounded roof, with two corpses in front of him, different from the bones he had encountered, they had not begun to decompose, and they still had the appearance of a human, as if they had just died.

"The body was seen in a ditch and I brought him over. Grewood gestured to the man in golden armor on his left.

"As for the other one, he was on this roof. ”

Both corpses were undoubtedly human, and there were faint fluctuations of energy residue on their bodies, and they did look like they had died not long ago.

"The cause of death was the shattering of internal organs, which were protected by residual energy and did not decompose in a large area. However, it should have been dead for more than a month, and at the same time, no soul fluctuations were found. Bobota flipped the man in the golden armor, and in a few moments, a knight's sword and a disposable space soft bag came out of him.

"The space pouch was full of food and water, as well as a few bottles of plaster for healing injuries. Bobota swung his knight's sword, and a fierce sound sounded in the air: "The weapon is quite sharp, and it should be able to sell dozens of magic crystals." ”

"It should be refined by an alchemy apprentice, the impurities are removed well, and the strength is okay, but it is not yet at the level. "As an alchemist, Ingres didn't even use the Eye of Narda to see the essence of the knight's sword.

"His armor, presumably made by a mortal blacksmith, is only somewhat resistant to minor physical blows. Ingres also told the details of the armor by the way, in fact, if you want to dig deeper, Ingres can also deduce from some details, this armor is estimated to be standard armor, and some dark patterns indicate that this person is estimated to be a knight supported by nobles, or a knight from the royal family. But there was nothing bright about the information, so he saved his tongue.

"Can you find proof of identity?" Ingres asked.

Bobota nodded, crushed the disposable space pouch, and removed a green leaf with clear veins from a large pile of water.

"It's the people of the Gravity Forest. Seeing Angel's confusion, Bobota explained, "This green leaf is the identity credential of the Gravity Forest, just like the bone card of our savage cave. There should be information about this person inside, but there is a special energy locked in the green leaves, and it cannot be forcibly opened. ”

"The people of the Gravity Forest...... "Ingre's eyes slowly looked at the food and water on the ground, "It's normal for an apprentice who hasn't learned the art of food tricks to bring food." However, he still has water with him, which means that he probably hasn't even learned low-level water tricks. ”

The first trick that Ingres mastered was cleansing. And the cleaning technique slightly changes the elemental structure, and it becomes the water delivery technique. So, on any of Angels' journeys, he never carried water.

"It seems to be a beginner or intermediate apprentice. "Angel knows that many wizard apprentices have been to the surface of the abyss, Nausicaa and Serum have teamed up to go to the abyss, and even David has hired Hercules to hunt the ironclad hedgehog in the abyss, just to blend into the bloodline.

"Your speculation should be correct, and besides, this should be an annex to the first level of the abyss, otherwise these apprentices would not be here. "Bobota should be too.

After roughly determining the state of death and the strength of his identity, why did he die? His internal organs were severely damaged, but his armor seemed to be intact, maybe it was some kind of energy attack on the body? So, is there a creature with an energy attack here?

Unable to get more information from the knight in golden armor, they turned their gaze to another corpse.

It was a man in purple wizard robes.

When Bobota lifted his hood, he revealed a young face.

"He looked like he wasn't even thirty years old. Bobota muttered as she began to lift her wizard's robes for further examination.

But at this moment, Angel suddenly said, "I seem to have seen him." ”

Bobota jerked back.

Ingres frowned, and some images jumped into his mind—

In the dark underground cavern, a young apprentice who looked a little thin, dressed in purple and old wizard's robes, had a very distorted expression, his hands over his ears, shaking his head and screaming hysterically.

If you look closely, the young man who is screaming hoarsely looks exactly like the one lying on the ground. Even the wizard's robe he wore was the same.

After recalling for a moment, Ingres said, "His name is Ancient Asia, and he is from the Forest of Night Whispering. ”

Not long after Ingres entered the abyss, the Ember Rock Giant, the stronghold of humanity, was destroyed, and under the guidance of Xnepha, they moved all the way away, and the final destination was the cross-level gate of the grayscale stacked area.

On this journey, a strange thing happened.

While borrowing the ancient ruins, one of the apprentice wizards suddenly fell ill with hysteria, saying that someone was whispering in his ear, which upset him and even screamed hysterically.

Even Xnefer paid attention to his condition and ordered him to be guarded.

Angel was also a little curious at the time, and had been silently watching the wizard apprentice, but later, in the blink of an eye, the wizard apprentice disappeared.

After that, Senepa said that there was no need to look for this apprentice, he couldn't find it.

After Ingres finished telling the story, he silently looked at the lifeless young apprentice on the ground: "The apprentice who disappeared is him...... Ancient Sia. ”

After Ingres' words fell, Bopota looked at Gucia and then at the dark world around him.

"You mean to say that Ancient Asia disappeared from the Cold Ancient Ruins, so how did he appear here?" Bobota paused for a moment and said to himself, "Could it be that there is a passage to an attached world in the Cold Ancient Ruins, and Ancient West Asia accidentally touched the passage and came here?"

At this time, Grevu, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

"The shopkeeper's words reminded me of an incident that Butler Tandin told me before, about the Hangu period. Grevu: "Steward Tanding told me that the Han Gu period was 100,000 years ago, it was the era of the great prosperity of the aborigines, and it is said that many strong aborigines emerged from the abyss, and even some strong people occupied some worlds in the abyss. ”

"But later, the aborigines became weaker and weaker, and the cold period became a thing of the past. Moreover, because there were many demons who were squeezed out of their living space by the aborigines before, after the aborigines became vulnerable, they took revenge, resulting in the death of a large number of aborigines. For some time afterward, there were hardly any aborigines to be seen in the barren face. ”

"However, the indigenous people were not exterminated. It is said that those remnants of the cold ancient period went to a sealed continent. ”

"But then, something seemed to have gone wrong on that continent, and the indigenous people migrated out, and then they have been living on the surface ever since. ”

And that sealed continent has become what the aborigines call ...... Cold ancient ruins. ”

Grewood said this and looked at Angel: "So, I think this may be the sealed continent, that is, this is the real cold ancient ruins. ”
