The barren and barren mountains are dotted with a complex of buildings made of black lava.

The monotonous colors, as well as the bare mountains that surround it, give the complex an air of dead silence.

Even if you look at it from a distance, you can see that it is definitely an abandoned building.

Collapsed and broken stone was everywhere, the mottled walls were covered with dry cracks, and all the painted buildings were obscured by the volcanic ash.

The gondola wandered in the sky for a moment, and after confirming that he did not perceive danger, Angel and the others jumped down.

The complex was built from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, and if you compare it with the cities of the Golden Bird Empire, this building area is estimated to be the size of an ordinary township.

After close encounter, as they had seen before, it was dilapidated, vicissitudes, and dead silence.

Because the fire elemental in the air was very active, the young fire demon Grewood quickly took advantage of these dancing flames to visit most of the area.

"There were no signs of life, but there were a lot of bones. Grewood said as he led Angel to a long winding street that led to the top of the hill.

This ash-strewn street is littered with skeletons, with different postures and different ways of dying. Some die by grabbing their heads to the ground, some have collapsed skulls, and some have separated bones......

A skeleton near Ingres, or even an entire backbone, was shattered, as if it had fallen from the sky and broken.

"The time of death is not the same era, this one has been dead for at least five hundred years, but this one may be about two hundred years. Bobota casually pointed to the two skeletons in front of him, which seemed to be next to each other, and if they were not eradicated, they even thought they were close friends, dying at the same moment.

"Most of them are Abyssal Natives, and only a very small number of them are demons...... No, the bones of a half-blood demon. Gruwood added.

Because Ingres didn't know enough about the abyss, he didn't see too many superficial clues.

But as a traditional aristocrat, the appreciation of art is mandatory, and the art of architecture is also a science. The architectural style here is obviously different from that of Castlevania, full of curves and reliefs, which rarely involve religious significance, and are basically decorative life patterns.

In terms of refinement, although it is not as fine as a human country, it is far more elaborate than Castlevania!

Moreover, the buildings here are small, and the gates are similar to those of ordinary humans.

So, there are all kinds of indications that before it was abandoned, it was estimated that it was the town of the Abyssal Aborigines.

"If it is the place where the Abyssal Natives live, why are the bones here so strange, not to mention the different ways of death, and the time of death is also different...... It's like they died somewhere else and were moved here. ”

Because these bones have been dead for so long, many clues have been lost, and it is difficult to determine whether this is the first scene of death.

"Did you find any information about this?" asked Angels.

"There are some carvings that say it's called Manotan. However, I have not heard of this name, and as for other clues, there are none. ”

"It seems that even if artificial structures are discovered, nothing will be gained. Bobota sighed, unable to determine the location, how to leave?

Ingres pondered for a moment: "It's not completely unrewarded, at least it's certain that this place should have been the area of the Abyssal Aborigines before." ”

After a pause, Ingres looked at Griwu and asked, "I remember reading in books before that the Abyssal Natives basically live on the surface of the Abyss?"

Grewood nodded: "Yes, there are some good natives among the aborigines, they will occasionally appear in the inner layer, but I have never heard of the construction of aboriginal settlements in the inner layer...... Moreover, according to the records of the Abyss Treaty, the aborigines' habitat was basically confined to the surface of the abyss, or even the most superficial area. ”

"The Abyss Treaty?"

"The treaty drafted by the Demon Eye of the Abyss, the main content is the offensive and defensive restrictions between the demons and the aborigines of the Abyss. Few demons obey ......, though," Grewood explained.

"It's the Abyss Demon Eye again, he's quite idle. "It was Bobota who spoke, because the Lord of the Depths wanted to seize the power of the Abyss Demon Eye, and Bobota knew something about some of the deeds of the Abyss Demon Eye.

Grewood glanced at Bobota and looked at Angel, "Shopkeeper, you asked about the gathering place of the aborigines, meaning that this should be the surface of the abyss?"

Angel nodded.

"It's a possibility, but I don't know much about the surface of the Abyss, and Lord Orusia may know something, but it hasn't awakened yet. ”

"It's okay, let's keep going. Maybe, there will be discoveries later. ”

Since he didn't get too many clues here, Angel didn't continue to wander, but drove a gondola and continued to move towards the southeast.

Perhaps it was after entering the "former civilized area", and the rest of the journey did not encounter volcanoes or lava, but basically rolling mountains, or endless wilderness.

"I've always thought it was a little strange that the bones in that town were to be moved there by outsiders, wouldn't it be too much trouble for outsiders to move them there, if not for outsiders to move them?" Bobota wondered.

Bobota's doubts are destined to be unanswered.

Time passed, and half an hour later, they saw a second town built around the hills.

However, like the first time I encountered Manotan, this small town called Xiuitan is also abandoned and covered with a large number of bones.

As for the other clues, there are still none.

Then they came across several abandoned aboriginal settlements, but they were basically the same as before, the only difference was the type of bones.

Among them, the most surprising thing was that they saw human bones.

And there's more than one.

Judging by the bone quality, these human bones may not be too strong in life. Most of the bones do not contain energy properties, which means that they are probably low-level apprentices in their lifetimes. Of course, it is also possible to be mortal, but the probability of a mortal appearing in the abyss is extremely small.

One thing can also be judged from this, this is definitely somewhere on the surface of the abyss.

Because of the middle and low-level apprentices, it is impossible to go to the inner layer, and even the second layer of the abyss is rarely there. Basically, they are all mixed in the most superficial layer of the abyss.

That means that this could be some subordinate space somewhere on the surface of the abyss, or a Void Continent?

While Ingres was so speculating, they saw an abandoned city again.

Perhaps it was the curiosity of the bear child, and Grewood was the most active in exploring, and Ingres had no expectations for these cities, and even if he found the name of the city, he didn't know where it was.

This time, however, Grewood had a surprise.

A white skeleton in tattered wizard robes lay in front of Angel.

This is what Grewood found in the city called "Jistan".

"There are also some human bones in there, but this one has the iconic emblem on it, and I think you may know it, so I brought it out. Griwu pointed to the side of the wizard's robe, where there was a distinctive emblem.

A golden witch flower.

The witch flower is a kind of alchemy magic material, which looks like a rose, and the color is indeed black and red, and it looks like a charming witch. The effect of the main ingredient of the medicine and fragrance is basically to correct the skin. Some elixirs to maintain the appearance, the witch flower is indispensable, because it is sought after by witches, and the witch flower is mainly used by women, so it is called the "witch" flower.

Witch flowers, Ingres knows. But he hadn't heard of an organization that used the Golden Witch Flower as an emblem.

Angel looked at Bobota, who had been in the wizarding world for a long time before he had discovered something.

Bobota looked at the emblem for a long time, and said uncertainly, "I seem to have seen this emblem somewhere, it seems to be the mark of a wizarding organization...... However, it doesn't seem to be the wizarding world of the Southern Regions. ”

"Isn't it the wizarding organization of the wizarding world in the Southern Regions?" Ingres looked at Bobota, "Are you sure?"

Bobota shook his head, "I just have an impression, but I can't be sure. ”

Ingres frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Grivu, "Are there any Abyssal Natives in the other phases?"

Grewood nodded: "Yes, but like the Barren Side, according to the Abyss Treaty, these aborigines basically live on the surface of the Abyss. ”

Angel rubbed his eyebrows: "If there are aborigines in other phases, then we shouldn't be in other phases, right?"

Bobota didn't know what the so-called phase face was, and looked at Angel with a puzzled expression.

Ingres briefly explained the pattern of the abyss, and then looked at Grivu, hoping to get an answer from the demonic nobleman's mouth.

Grewood hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Probably not, if you want to go to other phases, there is basically only one way to go to the phase gate." And the Gate of the Phase is all guarded by the Demon Lord, so it should still be on the barren side. ”

If it wasn't for the other phases, then the skeleton in front of him could it be from the other phases?

But how did he get here through the Phasing Plane?

In the end, Angel didn't figure it out, so he could only continue on the road with doubts.

This time, they flew for almost an hour before they saw the new complex again. Grewood was as excited as ever, while Ingres frowned at the town in the wasteland.

It wasn't the largest complex they'd ever encountered, but it gave Ingres a strange sense of strangeness.

"What's wrong with you?" Popota looked at Angel suspiciously.

Ingres looked at the edge of the wasteland in the rain: "I just vaguely feel that the feeling of calling is getting closer and closer...... Perhaps, in this wasteland. ”

......

"Shopkeeper, I found two bodies!"

As Ingres silently felt the "call", Grewood's voice suddenly came.

At first, Ingres was unimpressed, but soon a second voice from Grivu came: "It's a fresh corpse!

Hearing this, Angel and Boporta glanced at each other and flew off the boat without hesitation.
