I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been messing around with these dragons who look like they're forking the road in the evolutionary tree for a long time, and I've almost forgotten what they're here for.

"There's an ancient ruin near here," I said aloud, looking at the black dragon, who is Char's daughter-in-law (I don't know why, I feel so special every time I think of this word), "Actually, we're here for that ruin." ”

All the dragons fell silent in unison, and Char touched his wife's neck and whispered, "He's talking about the Garden of Oblivion." They wanted to open the forbidden land. ”

The atmosphere seemed to have undergone a subtle and rapid change, if one second ago I was still in front of a group of happy hermits whose evolution had collapsed, this second I felt that the people standing in front of me really seemed to be a group of guardian dragons, the black dragon Tracy looked at this side with huge eyes, and his tone suddenly became serious: "You are going to the Garden of Oblivion?" Do you know what kind of place it is? ”

"According to us, it should be a complex left by our compatriots from a long time ago," Sandora said naturally as she looked at Tracy, "Lynn had learned about the ruins with Char before. ”

"You say, you are the same clan of the ancient gods who left this world back then?" The red-dragon, who looked the oldest and most sedate, asked in a low, thunderous voice, "Now is not the time for jokes—do you mean it?" ”

"I feel a little strange," my sister looked at each other with a frown, "you guys...... What is the relationship with the 'ancient gods' in your mouth, and what did you think we were at first? ”

"Our relationship with the ancient gods doesn't matter, as for who I think you are...... Char said you are gods," the red dragon said in a guttural voice, "I thought he meant that you were the ancient spirits of the Mother Continent who were revered as gods by mortals. ”

Sandora's glasses narrowed slightly: "Oh? In your opinion. What do those ancient spirits mean? ”

"It's just a stronger creature," the red dragon shook his wings, "but it's nothing for the mortals of the Mother Continent to say they're gods, it's just a title anyway." But here. The 'gods' of the mother continent and the ancient gods in our dragon legends are two words, it seems that I misunderstood Char's introduction, you want to say, you are actually ancient gods? ”

"Uh, haven't you noticed?" I suddenly realized that the dragons might have encountered the most troublesome "shielding effect" that everyone had encountered not long ago, "Do you know these things?" ”

As I spoke, I activated a set of holographic projections, projecting the Empire's most iconic warship clusters and spectral crystals in mid-air. Considering that this world is full of things from the mysterious side of the old empire, I projected the images of ravens and angels at the end of the day.

"The last image is indeed the warriors of the gods, with wings on their backs, fighting with light and lightning. But what's the front one? Tracy looked curiously at the virtual projection in mid-air. Reaching out and trying to touch the images—of course, she didn't touch anything, "You don't mean to say that those castles floating in the stars are evidence of your status as an old god, do you?" I don't remember the Old Gods having such a thing. Although it has not experienced the glorious era of the rule of the old gods. But you can't be mistaken about the legends. ”

"And by the way, those castles are magnificent," Charles muttered, "and I couldn't confirm the identities of these people, even though they were the will of the Ancestors, so I brought them here." They are indeed not the ancient spirits of the mother continent who are regarded as 'gods', but they don't seem to be the legendary ancient gods either. ”

Sure enough, it appeared! That weird cut shield!

Just like Pandora, they have no memories of these lost worlds. The dragons who have been in contact with the old empire in this world, and the legends circulating in their clan have no information about the technological side of the old empire at all - since the disaster, the technological side and the mysterious side of the old empire have been completely separated with this world realm as the dividing line, and there is an inexplicable information barrier between the two sides.

Or to put it more strictly, this information barrier is built on the basis of the fifteenth day area of the old empire, and what is split is all the technology side data and more than eighty percent of the mysterious side data of the fifteenth day area of the old empire.

"Luckily. You know at least the image of an angel," I said, gesturing to Alayah beside me. and the mindful angel who is being led by Little Bubbles with a rope, "This can prove something." ”

"I've noticed, it does look like the warrior of the legendary Old Gods, but to be honest, I haven't seen a real warrior of the gods look like," Tracy said with a sniffle and a shake of her head, "but it's okay, if you want to go to the Garden of Oblivion, we can lead the way, it's open." ”

"Huh?!" Lin Xue couldn't help but scream, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" I thought you were the guardian dragons of the ruins! It's hard work on this! "Don't talk about Lin Xue, we all think so, originally I thought that the dragons here were in charge of guarding the ruins of the ancient empire and the like, but now when I hear it, it is so easy to let it go? Why the hell are they here?!

"We? Of course, we're guarding the ruins, but this mission has just ended," the red dragon nodded to Lin as he said, "The instructions handed down from ancient times make it clear that the Ancestral Spirits can go to the Forgotten Garden, as can all the visitors brought by the Ancestral Spirits. In addition, visitors who can independently activate the garden gate are allowed to enter without the spirit of the ancestors leading the way. ”

I roughly understood, looked at Sandora for a moment, and said in a spiritual connection: "It seems that there is a way back after the division of the Fifteen Heavenly Districts, and some people hope that the Protoss or the survivors of the empire can still open this ruin. We've come to the right place. ”

The elder sister looked at Tracy and said, "In other words, whoever came to the Dragon Kingdom and asked to go to that ...... The Garden of Oblivion, you will lead the way, as long as you can open the door smoothly, you can go in, but if you can't open the door......"

"Visitors can try a sunrise and sunset time, and if they still can't open the gate after that, don't want to leave the dragon kingdom alive, the space will be completely closed until the dragon has eliminated all intruders." The dragon with the bronze scales next to him said, "We're not the guardian dragons of the main battle. At the entrance to the garden there are real guards, guardians who have survived from ancient times to the present, and they are even more powerful than us, if the worst of the aforementioned scenarios arises. We'll go into battle with the Guardians—by the way, you can talk to the guards and see if they know something. ”

"Then take us to the ruins." It seems that the dragons' own accounts are also a mess, and I no longer have any expectations of how much knowledge they can keep, but I have made my own requests bluntly. It seems that my group met the conditions for opening the way by mistake, and although I can't guarantee that we will be able to open the gate of the ruins, we happen to have a dragon god with us—but there is one thing I don't quite understand, what kind of dragon legend is in the legend of the dragon. Only the spirit of their own ancestors (that is, the Star Domain Dragon God) can bring people into the ruins, but the other Star Domain God Clan didn't even mention it, could it be that the people who left such a back road for the Fifteen Heavens Region only knew that the Star Domain God Clan had a Dragon God?

I took this issue to the Spiritual Link public channel and discussed it, and everyone agreed at the end. It's this group of brainy dragons who have been playing for too long. I misremembered what the master told me back then......

It was Char and Tracy who led the way, but this time our vehicle was no longer Lynn - Sandora was worried that the idiot would destroy the precious Imperial ruins when he landed, so the group preferred to fly by herself, and Lynn was ordered to fly in human form. We were soon far away from the cloudy mountains where the dragons lived. Fly towards the depths of the vast sea of clouds.

I was holding Little Bubbles, who was holding a rope in her hand, and the Angel of the Missing Body was tied to the rope, while Sandora next to me looked at our combination and asked curiously, "Do you think this angel can be used as the key to open the door?" ”

"We have to try, the only one we have on hand who has the permission to open the door of the fifteen-day district mystical building is her."

I said. While always paying attention to the little bubbles, don't accidentally let go and lose the "kite". In the past two days of communication with the other party (or the process of me constantly talking and then making up for the other party's slight movements), I am sure that she has a certain amount of operation authority in the various Lost World Realm Ruins, but I don't know how high this authority can be. Now we know that the "Garden of Oblivion" in the mouth of the dragon is closed, and the only hope for opening the door is this glowing kite.

Led by a dragon. The team passed through thick clouds, during which time the altitude had been decreasing. I even think that the height of the descent is enough to reach the surface: if there is a horizon in the Lost World. Eventually, when the darkest clouds were swept away, a vast plain appeared before us.

It's still a floating land, but it's already quite large—maybe even the size of Shadow City. The plains were desolate and empty, and there was not even a shadow of any vegetation in sight, which was very different from the lush mountains in the sky before. High in the sky, we could see that the ground below was covered with a huge array of glitter, stretching all the way to the end of the land, large enough to bring tears to the eyes of any magic circle that any ordinary magical civilization could study, and we saw no shadow of a building other than this array covered with bare stone earth.

Not to mention the ruins, there is not even a decent stone house, the only thing that can be seen is a huge arch on the plain that still stands intact - the only man-made trace on the plain.

Char and Tracy led us to land in front of this arch, and I realized that this gate was really unusually tall, its height was probably at least two hundred meters high, and Lynn could even fly directly through the middle in her dragon god form!

It's not uncommon for a two-hundred-meter-tall door to be two-hundred-meter-high, but it's rare that it's still a ground-level structure - is it necessary to make something that is built on the surface so big?

"Uh...... This is the ruins ......" Shallow looked up at the empty arch in front of him, which seemed to be made of a building material similar to that of the Sky Tower, and was still one of those high-end things that no one recognized, but whose technical content was comparable to that of Starship Alloy. It has stood here for many thousands of years, but it is still as clean as new, and not even a single scar can be seen on the surface.

"We know about the other Lost Worlds," Tracy touched the cold metal on the arch with the tip of her nose, and there was some emotion in her tone, "In those places where the ancient divine powers could not be cared for, everything has been turned upside down, in the past years. There were many intelligent beings who found the Lost Realm, and left behind many fragile city-states they had built themselves, and as time passed, those Lost Realms piled up the rags left by countless mortals of all ages. But none of them last as long as what the old gods left behind. According to the oldest keepers, it still looks like it was when the garden was closed, and no one has left a trace of it over the years. ”

The black dragon's emotion is not unreasonable, we know a lot of things related to the Lost World Realm from Sakina, in the Lost World Realm, the ruins are not only the buildings left by the old empire, but also some things left by ordinary civilizations. It has been many 10,000 years since the collapse of the old empire, which is enough time for the vast variety of intelligent beings in the mother continent to recycle several civilizations. Most of the dilapidated buildings that can be found in the Lost World are left behind by the mortal civilizations that were active during the period from the fall of the old empire to the present day, and now, the city-states built by the mortal civilization are dilapidated one after another, and there are only "ancient gods". The relics left by the ancient Apostles of Xiling still stand intact on the land of the Lost World. It is as if we are waiting for our arrival.

Now is not the time to sigh, I take my mind back and focus on the huge arch in front of me.

"This is the entrance to the Garden of Oblivion?" I looked at Tracy, "Is it a teleporter or what?" And where are the guards? ”

"When I was born, the Oblivion Garden was already closed. So I don't know exactly how the gate works, and I've never seen it open," Tracy explained to us, standing in the middle of the arch, the scales of her body beginning to float into a dark shadow, "All the dragons don't know what to do. We are just waiting according to the instructions left by our ancestors. As for the guardians here, you will soon be able to see ......" The voice fell, and the shadow power on the black dragon's body was already like substance, and then she suddenly roared, and all the black energy in her body instantly exploded, forming a dark fan-shaped curtain. Splattered onto the surrounding goalposts.

The shadow energies apparently activated some sort of identification device, and then we heard a straight, mechanical female voice: "Identification system activated—determined to be peripheral soldier communications." The captain of the guard is about to appear. ”

"Boom-boom-boom," a rhythmic muffled sound came from the empty other side of the arch. As if a giant was approaching the arch, the sound of heavy footsteps stopped as they approached the arch, and Tracy and Char bowed their heads respectfully and took a few steps back, and then we saw a huge figure with a cold metallic light emerging from the air in the middle of the arch.

It was a slightly familiar shape, just like the metal colossus soldier seen in the back gate square of the Sky Tower that day, it was a silver-white giant composed entirely of mysterious metal, more than ten meters tall, but this silver-white giant was obviously different from the original guard, its skin did not have that ring structure, but was integrated, and it also had a delicate and powerful armor on its body, and it held a heavy golden lightning scepter in its hand. The heavy armor was covered with flowing magical radiance, the Empire's cross crystal mark was inlaid on the chest, and the edge of the armor was intricate and esoteric runes circulating, and the lightning scepter was two-thirds made of metal, and one-third was pure arcane lightning - it seemed plausible to say that it was a spear with a thunder blade. The metal giant's face was not a smooth trapezoidal piece of metal like the guard colossus of the Sky Tower, but had fine features: a middle-aged man with a plump beard and no anger.

I couldn't help but think of the leader of the Atlanteans, Zeus seemed to resemble him in appearance...... Of course, Zeus would never be able to defeat the captain of the guard in front of him, whose energy reaction was as strong as the reactor of a battleship.

"Well, the children of the previous guards...... Oh, I forgot, you're guards now, you're here, what's the news this time? "The metal giant is more than ten meters tall enough to talk to Tracy and them face-to-face, and he directly ignored our group, and his attention was completely focused on the two guardian dragons, whose voice roared like thunder, and stood tall in front of the ancient arch, like a giant god guarding the heavens.

At this moment, I couldn't help but glance at Sandora: an even completely normal guardian of the mysterious side of the old empire!

This one can be communicated!

"We're bringing in another group of visitors who want to open the Garden of Oblivion," Char nodded to the giant as he did when he faced his own ancestral spirits, "In accordance with the ancient command, we are to bring all eligible visitors to you for examination until someone can open the gates of the Garden of Forgetting." ”

"Adventurer again?" The giant's attitude seemed to be a little unimpressed, "Thirty thousand years ago, your grandfathers brought a batch, but they were burned to ashes, and I don't know what will happen to this time." ”

"They're not the same as the last group of the last thirty thousand years ago," Tracy glanced at Lynn, "they were led to the Dragon Kingdom by the Ancestral Spirits of the Dragons, and they claim to be the Old Gods. ”

"Ancestral spirits? It's your dragon's soul judgment...... Wait, you say the Old Gods?! The giant reacted suddenly, and the aura of energy on his body suddenly became several times stronger, and all the stones on the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters around him instantly turned into dust under the sudden increase in pressure, "Ancient God? The owner of the garden? They call themselves so directly? ”

"I say, big man, you should have almost noticed someone down underneath, right?"

I finally decided to take the initiative to get the other person's attention, and I looked up and shouted.

The giant was drawn to the call from under his feet, he must have noticed us in the first place, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and now that his eyes were completely on us, I smiled at each other and was ready to introduce myself.

However, in the next second, the giant's response to us was to wave the lightning scepter in his hand!
