"Like me, in human form, the dragon state is consumed too quickly. We don't know how long we will be trapped in this place. If we don't find a way out, we must be prepared for a protracted war."
Sieg, who had transformed into a human form, flapped the wings of the young red dragon, signaling Noel to transform into a human form like him to prevent the rapid loss of energy.
As an extremely powerful creature, the dragon is in dragon form. Even if it is not fighting, just the normal beating of the heart will consume huge energy.
Although Sieg did not show his worry on his face at this moment, the solemnity in his heart had actually reached a considerable level. This world where everything was burned down and only ashes remained made him feel extremely uneasy.
"Okay brother, I can feel the magic power in my body radiating out. It's really empty here, there is nothing."
Noelle obediently transformed into a human form, and together with Sieg, they counted the things they carried. Fortunately, the space storage magic devices they carried were well protected and were not damaged by the shocking fall. Planting utensils and supplies are quite sufficient.
"First try to see if we can contact Wang Yu and the others. If not, we will continue to make other attempts. Remember, we must avoid unnecessary consumption."
After Sieg seriously warned Noel and thought about it again and again, he took out the minimum equipment from the alchemy props stored in the space, and began to arrange a magic circle on the land covered with ashes.
The magic circle was set up and was successfully activated by Sieg. The magic power turned into a special form and was washed out. This dead world seemed to be no different from the outside world except that nothing existed. Everything they could use in the outside world was the same here. Can use.
"No... I can't contact them at all, and I can't find out how big the surrounding area is. This is a huge area, so big that it's impossible to detect the top and boundary with the effect of this magic circle."
Sieg sighed, feeling a little heavier in his heart. This array used for rough detection gained a fairly far detection range at the expense of detection accuracy. If this array could not detect the boundary, There is not much point in piling materials higher.
"The mark given by my sister cannot sense them."
Noelle tried to use Arilian's mark to sense each other's position, but only Sieg, who was right next to him, appeared in the sense, and had no way of knowing where Wang Yu and Aviya were.
"It's a bit troublesome. Let me plan a plan of action. There will be no problem."
Sieg put his thumb on his forehead and twisted it twice, discarding those worries that had no real effect, and forced himself to calmly think about how to get them out of this weird place without emotions.
The situation is much worse than what appears so far. Sieg has confirmed that this is a dead world and an extremely pure world. There is nothing that can be called supplies. It is a place that only consumes. .
In other words, this place is like an alternative layer of dissociation. The real layer of dissociation directly annihilates the body existing in it. And here, in the evolution of time, the existence that enters this desolate hell will slowly be transformed by itself. It turns into withered bones due to internal friction. What Sieg wants to avoid is this future that is likely to happen. .
Putting a seed brought from Liaheim, the capital of elves, into the ashes that felt okay to the touch, Sieg drove the birth spell and enveloped the seed with green light, prompting it to grow rapidly.
Under the joint gaze of Sieg and Noelle, the seeds sprouted quickly and drilled out of the soil. However, soon, the green sprouts turned gray and yellow, and were depleted by the birth spell. The seeds themselves carried nutrients but could not absorb them from the surroundings. The land is replenished with seeds and dies.
"Sure enough, these are complete embers, without any ingredients that can be exploited."
Sieg narrowed his eyes. This kind of ashes is no longer ashes on the physical level, but on more levels, the remnants of all matter being burned away. This world is even closer to the plane of the undead. The concept of "death".
Their future is the same as this realm
"The concentration of magic power here is similar to that of the outside world, maybe because
Located in this special desert, the concentration of magic power is still slightly higher, and the earth and fire elements are also quite rich. The energy of the void is significantly higher in comparison, but I cannot call them, and the void does not respond to my spirit. force. "
Aviya, who was carried by Wang Yu all the way to the city in the desert, has been analyzing the various conditions of the desert under the vast sea, and the conclusion she came to is not bad, at least the girl is just with Wang Yu also cannot use the power of a wizard, but as a major mage, his power is not compromised at all.
"Good news. We need a spell to hide ourselves. We don't know if there are any residents in that city.
Whether they are friendly, if at all, is unknown. "
Wang Yu gave Aviya a thumbs up on his shoulder and motioned the girl to give them a spell to hide themselves.
The singing in his ears was getting louder and louder as they approached the city in the desert. Although it was still very soft, it had changed from being difficult to distinguish between reality and reality to a level where he could hear it continuously. However, he didn't know the cause of this thing. It cannot be used as a basis for judging whether there are residents in the city.
The earth element was mobilized by magic power, forming an earth-yellow cloak-like thing that covered Wang Yu and the others' bodies, making them completely integrated with the surrounding desert from other angles, making it difficult to distinguish their bodies.
"Wait, there seems to be something down here, let me take a look."
After continuing to move forward for a certain distance, Wang Yu suddenly stopped on the spot and put the girl down from behind. The power of the chariot that was extended at any time sensed something buried in the yellow sand under his feet at this moment.
The power of the chariot was activated, and the gravel under his feet was separated by Wang Yu like a flowing liquid. A deep pit was gradually dug out, about five meters deep underground. What Wang Yu noticed was revealed. It was a The huge skull has quite a visual impact.
"This is the skull of a giant. How could this genocidal head appear in a place like this?"
Looking at the giant humanoid skull that appeared in front of her eyes, the well-informed Aviya expressed surprise and confusion. What Wang Yu discovered was really shocking.
"I'm afraid this place has seen better days."
Wang Yu rubbed his chin and answered. He did not expect that there would be the remains of the giants, an ancient race that had disappeared on the continent, in the desert below the endless sea.
It seemed that it had been dead for a long time. Wang Yu could not feel the slightest strength or anything else from it at the moment. He used the power of the chariot to test the strength. The material of this thing is equivalent to that of a harder stone. .
"Tsk, this place is getting weirder and weirder, what on earth is it..."
No longer bothering with the giant's skull, the two continued to move forward. There were too many things in this place for them to think about.
Where does the light source of this underground world come from? Aviya has also been exploring, but she still has not figured out. Whether it is the change of angle over time or the nature of the sunlight falling from the sky, she cannot see the difference from the outside world. , but how is this possible?
As the two of them walked forward in the desert, ignoring some strange things that Wang Yu dug out from the desert, they did not encounter anything that could be called a threat.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the location of the desert city. Judging from the angle and brightness of the sun at this moment, it was probably around three or four in the afternoon.
"Someone, be careful."
Stepping onto a sand dune, Wang Yu cast his eyes towards the gate of the city. The overall architectural style was of an architectural style that he had never seen before. It could not be seen that it was similar to any intelligent race kingdom. To put it bluntly, it was the normal kind in the desert. City-states may emerge in the region.
It does look decent, and all facilities seem to be complete. The most conspicuous thing is that a grand palace similar to a royal palace cannot be built without some foundation.
In Wang Yu's field of vision, there were several guards who looked similar to humans, but had some small details on their bodies. They were standing at the city gate in a slightly strange posture, guarding the city. Wang Yu immediately spoke out to remind those behind him. girl.
"Wang Yu, something is wrong. These people don't seem to really exist.
They seem to be just an empty shell, or a shadow. "
The girl responded and shared the perfect fractal lens with Wang Yu. Wang Yu realized what the girl was talking about through the data fed back by the perfect fractal lens.
Those guards exist visually, and even the light and shadow are normal. However, from the magic analysis perspective of the perfect fractal lens, they are not entities at all, have no fluctuations in magic power, and they have not caused any damage to the surrounding environment. Any influence, the airflow blows through, passes through the body.
"It's weird, what's going on?"
Wang Yu stopped. It was a little far over there, and the chariot couldn't get through it, so he couldn't explore it.
"I come."
Aviya did not hesitate, activated her magic power, used the earth element to create a puppet, and ran towards the location of the guards in front of the city gate with an astonishing momentum, clearly intending to kill the opponent.
"boom!"
The earth and stone puppet hit the city wall, making a loud noise. The rough body collapsed and scattered, turning into sand and gravel on the ground. The guards still maintained their original movements. Even just now, the earth and stone puppet directly penetrated the opponent's body and struck out. Passed by, but encountered no obstacles.
"It seems that it is indeed an illusion."
After some testing and coming to a conclusion, the two of them walked towards the city. As expected, the guard at the door turned a blind eye to the two of them, as if Wang Yu and the others did not exist.
After walking into the city unimpeded, the scene of people coming and going came into the eyes of Wang Yu and Aviya. This is a quite prosperous city.
Just like Wang Yu and the others who had visited King Arestle City, the Elf Capital Liaheim, and Sky Mechanical City, all kinds of residents were walking through the streets, busy with their own affairs, and in the shops on the streets The guests, bosses, shouting, bargaining, satisfied, indignant, and even phalanxes wearing helmets and armor, which seemed to be an army, passed through the streets.
The residents here look similar to the human race, but they have a few extra small parts on their bodies, and they look a bit similar to the feather race. Anyway, they are similar. Wang Yu also saw people dressed in two standard professional attires: knights and mages. , overall, apart from the absence of any sound, the city looks, quite lively?
"These people are reflections of the past? I can't sense any energy from them, but they are moving in this form. What exactly makes them up..."
Aviya stretched out her hand and reached towards the body of a hunter who was selling furs on the street. She reached inside without any hindrance. The other party did not react at all. He still held the non-existent skinning knife and cut various furs. There is no fur on the table.
"I'm afraid so, and only the past lives have been reproduced. Nothing else has been reproduced except clothes. Why are there clothes anyway? What's the difference between them and the knives they hold? Woolen cloth."
Wang Yu agreed with Aviya's statement. These residents indeed looked like photos from the past, and only the living beings were left behind. Those things that were originally held in their hands disappeared. No wonder the posture of the guards at the city gate was There was something strange. It seemed that it was caused by the disappearance of the weapon in his hand, so Wang Yu had one more question: why did the clothes not disappear...
"I have no idea……"
Aviya shook her head. While her words were stuck, her tone was also a little weird. The image of the whole city's residents walking around in the city naked appeared in her mind, and an indescribable sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.
It may be a strange idea for others to ask, but Wang Yu's asking this shows that he is really thinking about the meaning of this question. It is a pity that the two of them did not understand it anyway.
No longer thinking too much about this problem that was inherently unexplorable, they began to wander around the city. Without a goal, Wang Yu proposed a plan to find the source of the singing he heard. Location.
The singing became obviously louder after he entered the city. It must be that his position was getting closer to the source. Although Aviya couldn't hear it, she immediately agreed.
"It should be around here, but the changes in the sound are no longer obvious as I move around. It's weird."
On a square, Wang Yu stopped and looked around. He was a little confused. The singing began to become quite obvious here, but he lost the powerful position judgment ability brought by the great knight's physique. As a result, he did not find the specific source of the singing, but he could not continue to confirm its location.
After taking a look at the sunlight that was beginning to dim in the sky, Wang Yu suddenly thought of something that he had forgotten before.
"I don't think I've ever tried to touch these residents with the power of a chariot."
Some residents were walking on the square, looking quite leisurely. Wang Yu stepped forward, released the power of the chariot, and touched a middle-aged man.
Wang Yu felt that his chariot power hit something, and then the shadow of the middle-aged man was tripped by Wang Yu's chariot power and fell down immediately, taking with him the lady walking in front of him. Knocked to the ground.
The confused middle-aged man got up under the angry gaze of the lady who was knocked down. He couldn't understand what happened. Wang Yu and Aviya were also confused.
The two looked at each other. If this was a photo from the past, what did Wang Yu just do, touch it?
