After a night of rest in the palace of the Queen of the West, Xu Shenxing and the others were ready to leave.
"Uh, can I ask, why are you here?"
It's just that there seems to be one more person in the departure carriage.
This made Xu Shenxing ask helplessly, covering his forehead.
"Don't worry about it, it's just that I haven't visited that guy's grave for a while, so I'll take you there this time and take some time to go."
Appeared, the standard tsundere plot!
Xu Shenxing slandered in his heart.
"I always get the feeling that you're thinking something very rude."
The Queen of the Western Region narrowed her wine-red eyes and stared at Xu Shenxing, somehow making the latter feel like Alexander.
"No, no, I just think that Her Majesty the Queen will ride in a small car like ours, don't you think it's disrespectful?"
"Only a lowly person in his bones would value such things as decency."
The other party just answered casually, and then, as if he had no interest in Xu Shenxing, he turned his head and looked out the window at the scenery that she should have been tired of seeing.
All the way without words.
Even Louise, who was still very excited, was concerned about the Queen, so she became silent.
And Xu Shenxing is also the type who doesn't like to talk very much except for acquaintances - because once he talks, it is easy to reveal that he is actually a funny nature...
The one pulling the cart today is not a horse, but the big bat called Ye Qi yesterday. What's interesting is that when their wings are closed, they look like a combination of a monkey and a fox with very strange looks and colors.
Although Xu Shenxing had doubts like "does this thing really run fast" at the beginning, but in fact this strange creature runs quite fast.
Although Lao Xu is used to his own speed, he doesn't have much feeling for other speeds (because they are extremely slow in his opinion), but judging from the way the scenery outside the window recedes, it is probably similar to the speed of a high-speed rail. Give it a go.
After about half an hour, the destination arrived.
"Oh, what a surprise."
Xu Shenxing opened the roller curtain in front of the carriage, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but let out an unexpected voice: "Is it actually like this..."
Because of the influence of TV and movies, he originally thought that this kind of cemetery was either like the mausoleums of ancient China, or that there were many graves erected on the wide grass in foreign movies.
As a result, what appeared in front of them was a bottomless pit.
Even with Xu Shenxing's eyesight, he couldn't see anything when he looked down.
"This was originally the pointing point of the world, where the world axis was. In the war against the Doom Era, this world axis was pulled out by Xi Wei and made into the strongest weapon against the Doom Era. So there is nothing below, it is Within the scope of this world, the place closest to the conceptual 'nothing'."
It seemed that Xu Shenxing would be surprised by this, so the Queen of the Western Region explained appropriately: "And the island floating in the middle is where Edric's cemetery is located."
"How to put it... it's amazing."
Looking at the floating island, he muttered to himself.
It's not that he hasn't seen the floating island, but the way the floating island is connected to the outside world surprised him.
—there are six huge iridescent bridges made of countless shining petals.
The beautiful petals on the edge of the bridge are pouring towards the bottomless abyss like a waterfall, which is spectacular and has a different kind of beauty at the same time.
"It's the Xieyu flower. It is said that if you find a flower with six petals, you can communicate with the dead." Louise whispered to Xu Shenxing.
"Where do these petals come from?"
Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
"It exists conceptually. The Xieyu flower itself is also a miracle brought by Xi Wei, symbolizing the remembrance and remembrance of the living for the dead. Every time a Xieyu flower blooms in this world, there will be another flower here." Before falling to the bottom of the world and turning into 'nothing', these petals will be accepted by the world itself, and then in other parts of the world, new Xieyu flowers will bloom." The Queen of the Westland replied.
She paused for a moment before continuing: "If one day, people in this world no longer have nostalgia for the dead, Jieyuhua will disappear. This cemetery will also sink to the bottom of the world and become a part of nothingness." Bar."
"That is to say, as long as people still fear death and think about the dead, this cemetery will exist forever?"
Xu Shenxing couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'm afraid there is nothing eternal in this world. Even the legendary archmage who claims to be the closest to the vortex of chaos is not able to overcome the passage of time and the pride of being a human being who does not want to be reduced to an abnormal thing. "
The Queen of the West's voice became a little deeper.
What she was talking about was probably the choice of "myself" in this world.
Xu Shenxing thought so in his heart.
"From here on, you can't take a car. Let's go down and prepare to walk."
Afterwards, under the leadership of the Queen of the Western Realm, the three of them slowly crossed the bridge formed by the petals of the Jieyu Flower and arrived at the gate of the city.
At this moment, the gatekeeper is a humanoid creature with a height of about three meters and a body muscle ratio that does not look like a human being.
"Hail to you, my Majesty the Queen."
The humanoid greeted the princess of the West with a voice as rough as it looked.
"Excuse me. Is there anything unusual going on here?"
The princess of the Western Realm waved her hand and asked.
"There is no abnormal situation, but two rare guests have come."
The other party answered.
"Oh? Who dares to come here?" The princess of the Western Realm suddenly became a little interested in this.
"Why do you say this as if it's scary?" Xu Shenxing whispered behind him.
"Because this is known as the place closest to the realm of the soul, and many of the people who guard here are undead creatures, so on the human side, the Edric Cemetery is also known as the Cave of Mourning and the Amber Cavern with extremely high mortality rates. Three dangerous places."
Louise explained to Xu Shenxing.
"That's your human prejudice. Human beings are like this. They will be wary and suspicious of aliens, so they are not welcomed by aliens."
Unexpectedly, the queen of the western region heard the whispering between the two, and immediately snorted softly, expressing her disdain.
"Her Majesty?" The huge humanoid seemed confused.
"It's okay, it's not for you. You go ahead and report."
"Okay." The other party nodded his head, which was slightly bigger than the pumpkin: "The ones who come are Lady Elilia, the Saintess of the Pure White Church, and her entourage, the new Holy Silver Sword Princess Anne Lita."
"Here comes a troublesome guy." The Queen of the Western Region frowned in a rare way.
"Pure White Church? Saintess?"
Unlike Louise who was very surprised at the side, Xu Shenxing showed a puzzled expression.
"I guess that guy is also here to visit Xi Wei's grave. That's fine. I'm also a little interested in what expression she will show when she sees you. Let's go."
In just a moment, the Queen of the Western Realm showed a smirk and said in a rather wicked tone.
"..."
Could it be that Her Majesty the Holy Maiden is also my old acquaintance in this world
To what extent is the self in this world abusive? Hey!
