Chapter 1504： another

The great adventurer has been in the earth for hundreds of years, and countless miracles and spectacular sights have been seen. He has witnessed fire burning in the depths of the earth's crust, and has also witnessed meteor showers falling into the plains. He has seen chaos and nothingness on the border of the real world. In the elemental realm, he had a good conversation with those powerful masters—and in such a long and magnificent life, he had four sentences that were often on the lips, and they would be widely known in the future.

These four sentences are—this thing is shining! This thing is smoking! What is this stuff? What is this TM? !

After Maggie heard the old man's exclamation, she shed a cold sweat on the spot, and even felt that the scales on her back were about to emerge. She rushed to Modil in two steps, and saw the huge composition in the next second. The surface of the hundreds of six-sided stone pillars of the stone pile really shows layers of brilliance—just like thousands of fireflies suddenly emerging from the night, and like the surging pulses in the stones, the stars of brilliance flow on the surface of the stone pillars. So, under the dim evening sky, the entire pile of rocks was instantly covered by a dreamlike glimmer of light!

"Don't panic, don't panic, this doesn't seem to be dangerous," Modil hurriedly waved his hand when he heard the sound of weapons colliding behind him, and then quickly said while shielding himself and his teammates, "I can perceive it. The energy flow of...no killing spells and traps are activated, it's just the process of waking up from a deep sleep..."

"Are you sure?" Maggie asked in a low voice while holding the two long swords tightly in both hands, her cheeks and wrists showed fine dragon scales, and her eyes gradually showed dark golden brilliance. She spoke. Mars bursts out of the corner of her mouth from time to time. This is her highest alert performance in a human form, "Such a large-scale'relic'... is there no danger?"

She didn't even feel embarrassed to mention the ten-layer magic armor technique that the other party had photographed just now. After all, the old man shooting magic armor is a habitual action, and the protective spells he attaches to himself every day are enough for an ordinary adventurer team to survive in the wilderness for half a year.

"The flow of magic does not deceive people. I don't perceive dangerous magic techniques." Modil murmured casually, and almost at the same time as his voice fell, the change of the rock pile reached a certain critical point— The stream of light that was constantly gushing calmed down in an instant, and then it converged a little bit inward. At this moment, the surface of the original dull and primitive stone pile was covered with mysterious and shining runes and lines. Then, everyone on the scene heard the stone. There was a hum from the pile.

Scenes of huge holographic projections suddenly appeared in front of the pile of rocks, before everyone's eyes.

It is a splendid image of the city, a city with a distinctive style gleaming in the sun; there are also busy markets, bustling pedestrians walking through the market; there are also huge sculptures on the street, cheerful children and side jugglers. ; Magic-driven workshops, theaters with melodious melody, blooming flower fields on the edge of the city, and landscape fountains dancing in magical lights...

Scene after scene of holographic projections condensed in front of this huge pile of rocks. The clear magical illusion seemed to vividly reproduce something that has become history. Maggie looked at these illusions that filled the entire field of vision in astonishment, and then suddenly listened. Then there was a calm and slightly mechanized female voice from Shidui: "Welcome to Cold Sea City, this is the last city in the Violet Inland that connects the'frontier'.

"Cold Sea City is located in the southeastern part of the Violet Kingdom, between Palan Santo and Prandall. It is known as the'Golden Bridge' between the inland and the border, with prosperous commerce and magical workshops all over the city. It is the greatest pride of the citizens of Lenghai...The city council hall of Lenghai City is located in the north of the city center. The designer is the outstanding architect Ms. Pranvis Santoqi...In history, Lenghai City and Palan Santo were once It was the earliest trade-intensive city in the Violet Kingdom. Even before Prince Nash Nalt took power, Lenghai City was..."

In this sweet female voice, Maggie couldn't help but raise her head. She saw Modil looking at her as well. From the face of the old mage, she saw the same thoughtful and stunned expression.

The holographic projection in front of the stone pile is still presenting, with new pictures constantly appearing, and new short films projected from the top of a certain stone pillar—a city with countless memories, countless perspectives, and countless worths. Pride and narrative things, they flow in the streets and lanes, and are engraved between stones and steel. What these magical illusions can record and display at this moment may be less than one-hundredth or one-thousandth of these memories. .

But even so, after seeing the magical illusion in front of her, Maggie still felt that she had understood what the "builder" of the rock pile wanted to convey.

I don’t care if everything can be recorded, or if there are latecomers who can understand and memorize everything the stone pile tells, or if these narratives will be seen again-this huge stone pile seems to have only one purpose. , That is to leave a mark in this world, a mark to prove that "we did exist".

Suddenly, Maggie recalled what her father said to herself when she was very young, before she was so rebellious, before she jumped off Long Yueya:

"...If one day we are destined to disappear in this world, everything we care about, hate, and love will lose its meaning in the next era... If there really is such a day, and we will come on that day When there is still so little time to do something, then do we want to leave something in this world to prove our existence..."

She recalled that her entire childhood did not seem to have understood this inexplicable sigh from her father. She only vaguely remembered that her father went to the highest dragon castle on the mountain and accepted the call of the Duke of Dragon Blood... now Thinking about it, Maggie suddenly understood something. She thought that maybe on that day, her father came into contact with the mission that the dragonborn once had, and came into contact with the truth about Talrond and the "exiles"...

"The Violet Kingdom is just a dream for Ms. Ye, and a dangerous vision for us. To the whole world, it is just a kingdom that has disappeared inexplicably, returning to a barbaric primitive island..." She couldn't bear it. Shih whispered, not knowing who it was for, "But for the Violet Man... not so,"

Modil next to her didn't say a word. The old mage just looked up at the top of the rock pile. He didn't seem to sigh so much. He just fell into long thoughts. Maggie couldn't help asking: "You are here. What do you want?"

"I'm just thinking, it seems that for the Violet Man himself, the disappearance of the kingdom is not a very sudden thing," the old mage said thoughtfully, "although we outsiders feel that it is being thickened overnight. The fog is swallowed, but the time lapse of the dream itself is never based on the real world... You look at this huge stone pile, and then think about the other stone piles distributed throughout the Violet Island. This seems to be a scale Not a small project."

Maggie nodded slowly while thinking, and then she was a little confused: "But in coastal cities like Plantel and Rattle, no such pile of rocks appeared after the dense fog dissipated..."

"Perhaps because they are too close to the'frontier'," Modil said casually. "Even the Violet people, who are the creations of Lady Night's dream, would leave such a'monument' that crosses the boundary between dream and reality. It is not a simple matter. The coastal area of ​​Violet Island is the weakest place in the dream of the gods, where the power of the real world dominates... In fact, I suspect that the Violet people left these stone piles because of the acquiescence or even help of Ms. Ye. This can explain why all the stone piles appear in the inland where the dream is powerful."

Maggie was thoughtful, and at this time the narration recorded in the pile of rocks gradually came to an end, the magical illusions projected in the air began to dissipate one by one, and the memory of this "monument" seemed to end here. .

It recorded a little less than Maggie imagined.

Maggie breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and return to the place where the team camped, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Modir's voice suddenly coming from the side: "Wait, there seems to be something left. …No, something has entered the magic circle of the rock pile! Something is connecting!"

Maggie stopped abruptly, turned her head and looked at the last holographic projection left in front of the pile of rocks. In the next second, she saw the magical illusion trembling abruptly, and large areas of interference patterns were shaking. Quickly reorganized into a clear picture, the figure of a beautiful lady appeared in the middle of the picture-she was extremely beautiful, with long brown curly hair scattered behind her head, and she was wearing a luxurious white court dress, set against the border of the faintly shimmering illusion. Next, this lady is like the classical court lady depicted in the oval frame, exuding a mysterious and elegant temperament.

After this beautiful lady in a white dress appeared, she turned her gaze to Maggie and Modil, who were fully guarded, with a smile on her face: "Welcome, visitors from the'outside', I really didn't expect The first contact signal turned out to be the Cold Sea node...I hope Violet’s extremely limited hospitality conditions have not bothered the guests too much."

"Who are you?" Maggie asked immediately, and at the same time stood calmly in front of Modil. Although this legendary adventurer is powerful, he is a spellcaster after all, and he needs to be like this at the critical moment. The soldiers are guarding in front.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart-when she realized the truth of the Violet Kingdom before, she still thought about this huge country and said nothing. The entire Violet Island is probably gone, and all that is left is the virgin forest. And the uninhabited wasteland, but not long after this in-depth exploration, unexpected "mysterious people" appeared one after another. First, the mysterious girl who claimed to be an officer of the MIB, but looked like a human in no way, followed by It was a ghostly lady who crawled over the network cable...

This Violet Kingdom is indeed something that was born from the dreams of the ancient gods, it is very evil.

The mysterious lady who appeared in the magic illusion did not seem to notice the tense atmosphere on the scene. She just maintained an elegant and decent smile and nodded slightly to Maggie: "You can call me'Bena Dido', for the time being. One of the last remaining'administrators' on this land...the curator of the big library, the clerk of the archives, the master spirit of the dark court, the assistant of Prince Nash Nalt...I have many identities, But here, you just treat me as a demon that continues to move among the ancient ruins."

Listening to the series of names reported by the other party, especially the name "Prince Nash Nalt", the expression on Maggie's face instantly became serious, and Modil next to her grasped another important point: "Lord Controlling the spirit body... the demon, so you are the magical intelligence created by the violet man? Are you a tower spirit? After the violet kingdom disappears, are you still running?!"

"The kingdom has disappeared... Ah, indeed, from the perspective of the real world, the violet kingdom has indeed disappeared." The beautiful lady who claimed to be Bernadido smiled and shook her head slightly. "But even so, I used to live here. People in the kingdom always want to leave something before returning to their'hometown'. Human beings are like this. The shorter life is, the more they like to let their traces last forever... With the promise and help of the Lord of the Night, there are some The Violet people choose to leave a collective monument, just like the one you see before your eyes, while other Violet people choose to leave behind their proud creations..."

Having said that, Benedetto pointed to herself, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face: "I don't know if it is luck or misfortune. I seem to be a proud creation of the Violet Man..."

Maggie blinked, she didn't know how to react for a while, and Modil on the other side seemed to think of something after thinking about it: "You just said that you are the last remaining manager on this land.' One', so there are other'managers'? Is there a girl named'Morning Star' among these managers? Or a group of people who claim to be the Shadow Affairs Division of the MIB?"

"Morning Star?" Benedetto frowned, and then she turned her head to the side, as if an invisible person was saying something next to her, her face showed a clear look, " It seems that you have been in contact with'them'... but I don't know much about them. This is something that the Lord of the Night controls himself, and I have nothing to do with them. The'managers' I mentioned earlier There are others."

"So you know the existence of such a group of people," Maggie couldn't help but immediately, "Who are they? Why are they here? What do they and Ms. Ye have..."

"I said, I don't know much about them," Benadido stretched out his hands helplessly, "The Lord of the Night controls things personally, what is the magical intelligence created by the Violet Man like me? What about permissions?"

As if noticing the suspicion and disappointment on Maggie's face, Benedetto immediately added: "But I think you can relax a little bit. The Lord of Night will not have any bad thoughts..."

"...This sentence is really not convincing when it comes from a magical intelligence created by a violet man," Maggie sighed. She already realized that the friendly and friendly "manager" in front of her did not seem to cooperate. Asking and answering the question means, "Then please explain why, you suddenly came to us... what's the matter?"

"It's nothing big," Benadido smiled, "I just want to invite you to the City of Thousand Towers as a guest-this is exactly the ultimate goal of your exploration, isn't it?"
