"Roar--"
Waves of dragon roars came from the end of the wind and sand. She barely managed to stabilize her body on the bumpy chains. Atoris held her cloak tightly and raised her head, looking through the noisy sand and dust to the third person in the distance. There are five empty islands.
"Are we really going to defeat that sky dragon? You also heard what that guy said, that is something that even the brave can't defeat. Just us...?" Feeling from the distant roar of the dragon There was a hint of chill, but before reaching the destination, the magician had the intention of retreating.
"Stop!" As soon as the other party finished speaking, Elena, who was walking at the front, raised her hand and ordered everyone to stop.
"The Sky Dragon's strength is far above the king level, and even comparable to the saint level, so listen to me, this time is no joke." Elena said and took a deep breath: "The road ahead is dangerous and difficult, don't think that retreating is imminent. It’s a shame, everyone should be aware that choosing to attack targets that are far out of your reach is also one of the taboos for adventurers.”
"Do you want us to withdraw from this operation?" After listening to Elena's words, Mias was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction.
"In my opinion, you shouldn't be the only one who has to give an answer." Elena said and turned around, looking at the silent look of Baron at the end of the team, and gradually frowned.
"Have you thought clearly, kid?"
"The dragon's roar is not angry, it is the message of sorrow." Faced with Elena's question, Baron said without hesitation.
"what do you mean?"
"Ha~" In this dull atmosphere, facing the doubtful glances cast by the group of people, Barong couldn't help but have a slight smile on his lips.
"I mean, there's no need to back down, I'm sure of it this time!"
"???"
…
"You said the dragon is mourning? How can you see it?" Elena didn't understand Baron's explanation.
"About this, it's actually that Baron has a dragon friend." Of course, with Selese as her companion, Atoris had no doubt that Baron could understand dragon language.
"That's right." After groping in the ruins, Baron replied: "Although I'm not skilled enough to communicate without any barriers, it's not difficult to understand the emotions in the other person's voice."
"A friend of the Dragon Clan? I can't believe that you have had contact with the Dragon Clan. You are obviously just a human..." Elena wanted to express her surprise, but soon realized the rudeness in her words. He quickly covered his mouth.
"Senior Elena, there is no need to care about our mood. After all, this is the fact. Besides, we have already taken a dim view of the superiority and inferiority between races." Celica and others did not care about this, but the other side had already Needless to say, Artoris and the two regarded Elena as a companion.
"Huh~" Elena breathed a sigh of relief: "So, this is what you mean by certainty?"
"That's right." Baron explained: "In a certain reincarnation, I tried to investigate the situation here. The result was just as I speculated, it was not the Sky Dragon's original intention to bring uncertainty to this world. , more out of necessity.”
"Is it necessary?" After hearing this, Mias raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of doubts.
"Literally, Tianyu Xialang was built by the gods. As a holy place for practitioners, and as the singularity of all secrets, the gods have created one after another prohibitive rules that test us like a miraculous craftsmanship. Compared to the Sky Dragon, this is the case. He was suppressed by the gods and imprisoned here, and was forced to maintain this world."
"Just relying on a sound source actually involves the gods? This is really a bold speculation, but I like it very much." Mias nodded thoughtfully, and then went up to talk to Ba with a hearty smile. Long clapped his hands to show his approval.
"Then, if it's like what you said, we may not need to conflict with each other." The owner of Mias's body, Nolan, who is now in control of Mias's body, analyzed it like this, and noticed something was wrong. .
"Eh? Then what is our purpose if we don't fight each other?"
"Conflict is necessary, but I will not let it turn into a fight to the death." In response to Nolan's words, and at the same time finding what he wanted in the ruins, Baron turned his right palm and exerted force.
The palm wind shattered the ruins covering the secret, revealing the "spiritual weapon" beneath it to everyone.
"This is... a special mechanism, or some kind of sending device?" What appeared in front of us was a tower with a faint light, and the remaining light of the amethyst core suspended on it was even dimmer, seeming to tell the story of its past. It has lost the power to operate freely in the past.
Listening to Artoris's voice behind him, Baron tilted his head, and then injected magic power into the crystal core under the gaze of a group of people.
"Bang——!" Just as the magic power was injected, there was a strange sound not far away.
The huge movement, like a huge and ferocious burrowing beast breaking through the ground and roaring, attracted the attention of Artolis and everyone else.
As far as the eye goes, a huge and thick anchor wider than a human body breaks out of the ground at the far left end of the sky island, revealing its sharp edge. With Barong's continuous magic power delivery, the chain is like a cannonball in the next second. The front rushed out in the direction it pointed, and continued to extend until it broke through the end of the group's field of vision.
"This is the special device recorded on the stone tablet that exists on the fifth sky island. Similarly, the other eight islands also have special devices that operate in the same way but have different effects."
"You specifically explained this to us. Are you trying to use these special devices to deal with the Sky Dragon?" Mias looked suspicious after taking over what Baron said.
"It can be seen that this ruin has existed for several years. Although the device is designed to facilitate the adventurers passing by to reach the next empty island, the fact is that most people, including you and me, have selectively ignored this possibility* *pieces."
"After all, as long as you have a little insight or follow the direction pointed by experienced adventurers, you will be right. Naturally, these devices will not be used." After hearing this, Celica stepped forward with her staff and gave her own instructions. view.
"If I guess correctly, the real function of this chain is to connect the sixth sky island. Indeed, in this way, the originally winding and twists and turns road has been transformed into a straight path, which can Saves a lot of time and energy.”
"But that's not how that guy was used eight years ago."
"Eh? What are you referring to...?" Not being able to see any clues from Baron's calm expression, Celica frowned slightly after hearing what he said.
"No need to say more." After cutting off the magic bridge connecting the crystal core to himself, Barong stood up and looked into the distance with determined gaze. In that grave that is shunned by the living, in the land of death isolated by the vast wind and sand.
"Next, I will reappear for you, the unparalleled battle that was hidden by the lost sand!"
