Chapter 490: The Flooded City (Four Watches!) Ask for a subscription! )
Jeno and his party rested in the underground vault for a while, and by the time they came out again, it was already dark.
But this didn't affect their itinerary, it had been almost two weeks, and they had long been used to the black rumbling environment of Shadow Island.
The magical relics in the vault, Jeno didn't find any value to take away, as they were more or less destroyed by the hammerstone. And Ezreal also chose to give up on the basement because of the human skin book.
But Jeno saw Elise uncleanly use spider silk to cut through the broken prohibition, glue a small object and put it into the unfathomable line of business, and her skillful movements are the same as Sarah's.
Because he didn't touch his own interests, Jeno didn't expose him in public, but just warned him with his eyes. But Elise seemed to have a good impression of his small movements, and returned with a charming look, only to be dodged by Jeno by a tactical backlash.
After leaving the underground vault, they returned the same way they came, re-arriving at the gate of the Vault Fortress.
Because in order to enter the city of Hyria, the fortress of the library was a high wall that they had to overcome.
Seeing the ruins of the library floating in the sky, Ezreal was suddenly shaken and rushed to the target with a series of runs.
This time, without the swordsman's undead to stop him, he smoothly slid to the bottom of the ruins of the library, used the arcane leap to jump onto the spiral ladder on the inner wall of the library, and grabbed a broken book in his hand, and could swim in the ocean of knowledge.
Because of the existence of the aurora, the black fog around the library is very thin, and Ezreal's every move Jeno can be seen from afar, so he is allowed to have fun, as long as he does not leave his sight.
"Don't run far."
Jeno said casually, passing through the stone wall array that blocked the view, and a flooded city suddenly opened up in front of him.
This is Hylia, the capital of Fukko Island, located on the coastline. The elevation is slightly below sea level, and it is protected by man-made dams against the tides. But because the dam was in disrepair and rain, a large part of the city was submerged by the sea after the curse of ruin.
Since the entire city was shrouded in a dark blue aurora, Jeno could clearly see many dilapidated buildings peeking out of the black water, and even the wreckage of large ships scattered among the streets.
Although the buildings on the cliff have avoided the fate of being immersed in seawater, most of them have fallen apart under the action of the aurora, and various eaves and walls have violated the law of gravity and floated in the low air, looking like a strange planetary belt from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the city of mages, which was once flourishing, was broken into this appearance in just a few hundred years, which is full of emotion.
Jeno looked at the flooded city and wondered what he could do to get everyone across the waters.
He had just confirmed from Lucian's mouth that the undead who were not in a spirit state could not swim, and if Lucian went into the water, he would only slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, because his lungs were just an ornament, and he could no longer preserve the gas, so he could not float.
Also, the demon had better keep her out of the water.
He turned his head to ask if there was any good way to cross the sea, although he knew that this sea area was not deep, but under the Kuroshio Tide it was full of dwellings! Who knows how many of the inhabitants of Hellia were transformed into undead at home at the time of the cataclysm.
Jinx ran down and tested the temperature of the water with his hands, then ran back, and said in a very unbeaten tone with his arms curled, "It's so cold, don't want Jinx to swim over." ”
"Let Ezreal bring us one by one." Sarah said, holding up a finger.
"Seconded!" Jinx, a clever ghost, immediately raised his hands in approval.
"Attach you big-headed ghost!" Jeno slapped Jinx on the back of the head, "Are you trying to exhaust Ezreal?" It's a stretch like this, and there's a lot of us! Not to mention whether Ezreal's energy can hold on, just waiting for the glove to recharge, the sun is out. ”
Jeno directly rejected Sarah's proposal, knowing that she just wanted to cross the sea in the laziest and safest way, and did not want to take any risks.
"Stop fighting, it's stupid to beat people again!" Jinx hugged his head and screamed, and the little tree spirit saw that his master was being bullied, and rolled down from Jinx, and came to Jeno with small broken steps, jumped up and hit him in the knee.
Then he was kicked away by Jeno.
"Huh? Who has a solid idea? Jeno looked around.
"I think we can go through the sky."
A mechanical voice rang out, speaking from a demon spirit who hadn't spoken much along the way, much to Jano's surprise.
Because of the principle of not talking nonsense, the demon spirit saw a series of phenomena that science could not explain in the Shadow Isle, and felt that he had no right to speak, so he kept silent.
And now that she has spoken, it means that she must have discovered something.
"Say it." Jeno nodded.
"We can move slowly towards the cliffs by stepping on the ruins of the cliffs suspended in the aurora." The demon said.
"Doesn't a person sink when he steps on top of a floating rock?"
"There will be a slight subsidence in that way, but as long as the load does not exceed the mass of the floating stone, it will not sink to the bottom, I have already done experiments just now." With that, the demon pointed to Ezreal in the library, "Where he is is a huge floating stone. ”
"But some of the rocks are a little far apart, and it's a bit reluctant to jump over them." These floating ruins are connected into a passable path in Jeno's eyes, but not everyone dares to play the live-action version of Jump.
Take the demon spirit as an example, her athleticism is very poor, and it is estimated that she will not be able to jump over the simplest hurdle.
"We can use the force field to propel the floating rocks under our feet forward, as long as we don't float out of the low altitude beyond the aurora. The reason why the floating stones can float in the air is because of these aurora rays emitted from the ground. ”
Jeno reached into the aurora and discovered that it was actually a magical energy that had spilled from the ground.
By giving it to Hex for analysis, Jeno deduced that Hylia must have had an unimaginably violent magical explosion during the cataclysm, which caused the auroras to gush out from the ground.
And these aurora lights are like the photo frames of the photo, all the debris and broken walls that were blown away at the time of the explosion are frozen in the air, which is difficult to change with the laws of physics, which is very unbelievable!
Jeno estimates that the Hylia Barrage was blown up at that time, so the sea water poured into the city.
This would explain why these aurora lights did not make their group of people and the sea float in the air, because they had chosen the object of their action hundreds of years ago, and latecomers could not intervene in it.
And the items that can produce such incredible magical wonders, there is only one thing that appears in Jeno's mind!
