The door of the Kashan Palace was pushed shut by two tall and powerful guards, and a dull echo was made, empty and low, and heavy in people's hearts.
The closed palace door has an ebony background and is inlaid with white wood carving patterns. Afifah recognized those abstract patterns, the stars and the earth, as heroes and poems of the past. The image on it depicts an ancient story, a well-known legend - the battle between man and dragon.
The ancient war has long since subsided, and the evil dragon lurks back in the shadows, waiting for the moment it returns. And the misfortune star disappeared, the army of darkness fell into pieces, and everything seemed to have returned to its old peace.
Only heroes will sleep on this land forever and never return. Their blood turned into rivers, their bodies became mountains, and their wills were like the sun, moon and stars, forever guarding this land. The Istanians, the Kaulins, and the Oshurs shared their heritage and sang their songs for ever.
Perhaps this is also a kind of eternity, remembered by people in another form, and has been passed down for thousands of years. Afifah blinked slightly, his eyes as crystal clear as water, reflecting the light of the lake in front of Kashan Palace. In the light of the lake, the years and dust of this royal city had already been written.
She seemed to see another gaze, traveling through time and space, looking at this land with the same tenderness. That gentle woman held her lover's hand and made a promise. That gentle promise, every word of it, was imprinted in the girl's heart.
"Miss Afifah."
Afifah came back to her senses and looked at Delan next to her: "Mr. Delan."
Delan looked at this girl. They had not met many times. Before today, the other girl had never seen him, but he had already known her existence.
But the other party didn't make him feel strange. Standing next to the girl, he seemed to have returned to the feeling he had more than ten years ago. The late princess was still alive at that time, and even a few years earlier, she looked exactly like the girl in front of her.
Delan opened her mouth, her heart suddenly filled with complex emotions, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak. After all, he didn't really want to take back anything, so he couldn't make a real decision, not to mention that 'Xing' was not a heartless person.
Thousands of words turned into a simple greeting: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"If you feel uncomfortable... you can find a place to rest."
The girl's eyes slightly moved further into the distance. She laughed and shook her head: "Please let me see this place again, Mr. Deland."
These familiar words made Delan freeze on the spot for a moment.
…
After a brief period of dizziness, Fang Yu felt as if his body had passed through a barrier. It was a strange feeling, as if a layer of burden had been stripped away, and the whole person became lighter, as if the soul was floating in mid-air.
Then he saw that the scene in front of him was no longer inside the Kashan Palace. There were colorful lights floating around, a bit like falling into a color palette. They all gathered together to form a huge vortex.
At the center of the vortex, there was a small black spot at first, and then it suddenly grew larger, forming a black hole, sucking him downwards. It felt like a long time, but in fact it was only a moment. He felt himself falling out of the colorful tunnel and rushing out of the black hole.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, a strong wind blew into his face, and his body felt heavy again, as if the burden of his body had returned to his body. He seemed to open his eyes naturally, only to find that he was suspended above a sea of clouds.
But it's not necessarily true that he was floating. In fact, he was descending rapidly from a height of several thousand feet, passing through heavy clouds, and falling downwards.
And there was an endless blue sea with mirror-like waves, but Fang Plover recognized almost at a glance that this was not a sea of clouds - the sea of clouds was not so calm and calm, not to mention that the color of the sea surface formed by the wind element was also very different.
On the endless sea, Fang Plover saw an inconspicuous small island. The island is zooming in the field of vision. It was just a small black dot at first, but in a few moments it became the size of a coin.
Fang Plover quickly saw the lush vegetation on the island. A mountain range that reached straight into the clouds rose from the center of the island. Its snow-white peaks pierced into the sky, and the mountains were covered with white snow, like silver.
Surrounded by mountains, he even saw the white buildings in the center of the island. The simple buildings were like the Acropolis of Athens, with tall columns supporting the temples.
A voice came from behind him, "You woke up so quickly?"
Fang Plover struggled to turn his head in mid-air, only to realize that there was Ye Hua, who was also suspended in mid-air, falling at the same speed as him. If the wind hadn't been pulling at the other person's collar and clothes, he would have seemed almost motionless relative to her.
It's just that this Ten Kings of Rangers seems to be much more calm than me. The opponent was carrying an emerald green long bow, his hands were slightly open, like wings, and some calm eyes were falling on him.
But there was a hint of surprise in the other person's eyes at this moment.
The alchemist called Star was on the other side. He even summoned the fourth type of Inhanz, put his hand on the tall structure, and fell steadily.
The other party didn't even look in this direction, and his stern eyes were just like a falcon, patrolling the island below.
Finally, there is Princess Rupert. Fang Yu was somewhat surprised to see that the princess had her eyes closed tightly, as if she had lost consciousness and was completely unaware of everything around her.
And there seems to be a strange power that protects the four of them, preventing them from being blown away by the fierce wind on the sea. Fang Yu saw dots of green light all around, and he roughly recognized the source of this power, which might be related to the crystal that they were transported to this place.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Fang Yu opened his mouth, and strong wind rushed in, causing him to make a sound like wind leaking. He quickly closed his mouth, but the wind still made his face flutter.
But Ye Hua seemed to be very experienced and didn't say much, so he said, "This is a normal phenomenon. She will wake up soon, don't worry."
Fang Yu then remembered that the Ten Ranger Kings had said similar words just now. The other party seemed a little surprised that he woke up so quickly.
He couldn't help but subconsciously recall what happened before. It seemed that when he was wrapped in the green light, his mind went blank for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in this place.
Ye Hua seemed to see his doubts, "The only way to enter this world is the soul. The shock to the soul when entering for the first time is not small, and it is unbearable for ordinary people. Even with the protection of the dragon soul, it is still a big burden -"
His eyes fell on Fang Yu, and a trace of curiosity flashed through him, "It seems that your dragon soul has a lot of origins. As far as I know, only natural dragon souls can have such a level, but judging from the abilities you have shown, it seems that It’s not the Sky Knight series——”
Fang Yu's eyes widened slightly and he looked at the other party in disbelief.
Although he didn't ask, the expression was already written on his face. Ye Hua couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't seen such a cute young man for many years.
"No one else but you can use the flying claws and efreets," he said with a smile. "The way you acted underground in Fenris, you didn't think that no one could tell that it was a dragon soul." Ability?"
Fang Yu suddenly realized that he scratched his head. The military and President Falaise should have recognized him in this way.
But it's not that he didn't learn his lesson. Thinking about it carefully, when he faced the king of sand thieves, he only had these methods at his disposal. You can't just sit back and wait for death just to hide your identity?
Facing the other party's gaze, he had no choice but to nod.
Ye Hua's eyes showed a true look, and said: "Outsiders think that your ability comes from the Hailin Crown, but I guess your dragon soul may have something to do with the Sea Witch. I have long heard that she has a dragon in her hand. The soul fragment, I just didn’t expect it to come into your hands—you exchanged the Hailin Crown with her?”
Fang Yu secretly screamed loudly. Except for the part about Hailin Crown, the Ten Ranger Kings almost guessed exactly what happened at that time.
He had some small luck, thinking that what happened at that time would be a secret that no one knew, and that no one would know the secrets about his Dragon Soul, Zero Crystal and Hailin Crown. But the former president of the Southern League could guess some clues, and so could others.
Especially among those who experienced it, there were people like KUN who was known as the omniscient one.
He nodded cautiously again.
Ye Hua smiled: "This is your luck. The dragon soul is powerful. You will be much more relaxed when experiencing such scenes in the future."
"future?"
"It's nothing, you will get used to it in the future."
Fang Yu was slightly startled and couldn't understand.
It seemed to him that the other party was very familiar with this place, which was not very surprising. After all, the Ten Ranger Kings were cooperating with Babartan, so he might have already known about this place.
But from the tone of the other party, it seems that he will come back here many times. What is going on?
He couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is this place?"
"It's just one and a half planes," it was the alchemist who answered him. His eyes fell on the island and he said calmly: "Between the etheric world and the first world, that island belongs to them. A place to stay.”
'them'?
But after saying this, the other party stopped paying attention to him.
Fang Yu was confused when he heard it, but he finally understood that the island below was the destination of their trip.
After a few words of chatting, they descended several thousand feet. The island already occupied one-third of the field of vision, and the jungles and rivers on the island were clearly visible.
Listening to the whistling wind lingering in his ears, Fang Plover suddenly felt something was not good. He raised his head and tried his best to ask in a windy voice: "Should we just fall down like this?"
"Don't worry," Ye Hua smiled: "We won't let you fall directly, we will find a way to land again."
Fang Yu heard from the other party's tone that this was not the first time that the Ranger Ten Kings and the star had come here. He calmed down a little and asked again: "Have you been here?"
Ye Hua nodded.
But the answer was still Xing, "I've been here a few times during the experiment, but not this place."
At this time, Fang Yu saw the Inhanz Type 4 in the opponent's hand, and then subconsciously reached out to the information crystal on his chest. His fingers touched the cold crystal surface, and he felt certain in his heart.
The opponent can summon constructs here, and so can he. Flexible construction is as important to combat craftsmen as weapons are to warriors.
"So the condition for entering here," Fang Plover looked at the sleeping eldest princess, "is to possess a dragon soul?"
"You can say that."
"I am a dragon knight, and so is Xing." Ye Hua looked at Fang Pliance: "You are too. Only the dragon knight can withstand that level of soul impact under the protection of the dragon soul."
"What about Princess Rupert?"
Ye Hua also looked over, "Her situation is different from ours, it's quite special. As Xing said before, it's probably a trait in the soul——"
"How do you know?"
But Ye Hua rarely answered this question.
It was at this time that Fang Yu suddenly heard Miss Tata's voice, which was soft: "Mr. Knight, when we entered this world, we passed through a barrier."
"In order to protect you from harm, I blocked your inner world, so your memory will be blank for a period of time..."
barrier?
Fang Yu was slightly startled. He suddenly felt that this statement was somewhat familiar - the world barrier. Isn't that something that can only be experienced when passing through the 'door'?
Only those with strong spirit and will can pass through the door of the first world and enter the second world.
That kind of person refers to a person who has reached the top of one world. Level 50 is the dividing line between two worlds. In addition to another way, use the starlight to cross the 'door'.
But the number of stars is so rare——
Therefore, the Super Competitive Alliance and Stargate Port grant quotas to the second world every year, which is particularly precious.
He couldn't help but remember that Hongye and the others had participated in the Stargate Port mission not long ago, with the purpose of competing for a place to go to the second world.
But a lot of things happened after that, and I don’t know if the other party still has a chance to go to the second world.
Miya also said that she would take him to the second world, but for the Sea Witch, there should be her own way. In fact, it was not that he had not been moved. After all, there was everything he yearned for behind that door.
But in the end, he decided to go there himself——
Is there actually a world barrier between the demiplane and the main plane?
Fang Yu suddenly seemed to understand what Ye Hua meant. If he couldn't get used to this kind of thing, he might not be able to go to the second world.
But Miss Tata's words suddenly gave him a strange idea.
How did the first world and the second world, the second world and the third world, these independent worlds separated by 'doors' and 'barriers' come into being?
Why are there dragon souls and sky knights in this world? Why can dragon souls protect people from crossing the world barrier and coming from one world to another?
Are these naturally formed rules or man-made rules?
This strange idea flashed through his mind.
Then he asked a little nervously: "Miss Tata, are you okay?"
The goblin lady didn't speak until now. She must have encountered a lot of trouble before she came, otherwise the other party's temperament would not wait until now to speak.
He was afraid that Miss Tata would be harmed as a result——
But Miss Goblin's answer was as concise as ever:
"fine."
Fang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was just a half-plane of 'world barrier'. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he really passed through that 'door'. The 'world barrier' between two complete worlds would definitely cause more serious soul shock. ?
While he was thinking, Fang Yu suddenly felt that his falling speed had slowed down.
Just as Ye Hua said, the wind lingering around them disappeared, as if the laws of physics had changed, and an invisible force supported them from below.
The force slowly sank, pulling them in one direction on the island. Fang Plover quickly saw clearly where the group of people landed. It was located in the center of the island, in a valley, and the temple he had seen before was at the other end of the valley.
The valley was surrounded by lush jungles, and there seemed to be a large forest clearing where they landed.
Fang Plover looked at the temple in the distance and guessed that that might be the destination.
At this time, the falling speeds of several people began to become different. Ye Hua and Xing obviously fell faster. The latter was with Inhanz Type 4, and the former reached out to help Princess Rupert.
The two of them passed through the tree canopy one after another and disappeared below.
Fang Plover's gaze also slowly sank, and began to sink under the dense canopy of leaves. In just a moment, a lush green color came into his eyes.
He was looking at the green wild valley with a bit of amazement, but Ye Hua's voice had already come up from below:
"Ed, in this direction."
He looked down and discovered that in the forest glade below, the emerald green crystal he had seen in the Kashan Palace was actually standing there, suspended in mid-air a few meters above the ground.
A ray of emerald green light was shooting out from the crystal, guiding him to fall slowly. Passing through the dense thickets of shrubs, we stepped onto solid ground.
It's just that the surface is slightly soft, as if there is a thick layer of fallen leaves.
Fang Yu was even a little unaccustomed to the feeling of being down-to-earth for a while. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the crystal and said, "This is it?"
"It is not an entity," Ye Hua replied: "It just anchors the coordinates between the two worlds, and the radiance of the blue draws us to this place."
Fang Yu still didn't understand why Cang Zhihui had such power.
However, Ye Hua obviously didn't know much about it. He just shook his head and said: "This is probably a mystery left by the Numerin elves to us. Only the gods of Orin know the specific reason."
He paused for a moment before saying exactly the same thing as before:
"Be careful, they're here too."
