The barren and barren mountains are covered with a complex of buildings made of black lava.
The monotonous colors, and the surrounding bare mountains, filled the complex with a deadly atmosphere.
Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can see that this is definitely an abandoned building.
There are collapsed and broken stones everywhere, the mottled walls are covered with cracked lines, and all the painted buildings are blocked by the floating volcanic ash.
The gondola hovered in the sky for a while, and after confirming that no danger was perceived, Angel and the others jumped down.
The building complex has been built from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. If you compare the city of the Golden Sparrow Empire, this building area is estimated to be the size of an ordinary town.
After close contact, as they had seen before, it was dilapidated, vicissitudes, and dead.
Because the fire element in the air is very active, the young fire demon Greenwood quickly used these throbbing flames to stroll around most of the area.
"There are no signs of life, but there are a lot of skeletons." Greenwood said as he took Angel to a long winding street leading to the top of the mountain.
This ash-covered street is littered with skeletons in different poses and ways of dying. Some died by grabbing the ground with their heads, some with collapsed skulls, and some with detached bones...
A skeleton near Angel, or even the entire spine, was in a shattered state, as if it fell from the sky and broke.
"The time of death is not the same age. This one has been dead for at least five hundred years, but this may be about two hundred years." Popota pointed to the two skeletons in front of him that seemed to be next to each other. If Undated, even thought they were close friends who died at the same moment.
"They are basically aboriginals of the abyss, and only a very few are demons... No, the bones of half-blood demons." Greenwood added.
Because Angel didn't know enough about the abyss, he didn't see too many superficial clues.
But as a traditional aristocrat, the appreciation of art is compulsory, and the art of architecture is also a knowledge. The architectural style here is obviously different from that of Castlevania, full of arcs and reliefs. These reliefs rarely involve religious significance, but are basically decorative life patterns.
In terms of sophistication, although it is not as good as a human country, it is far more refined than Castlevania!
Moreover, the buildings here are very small, and the gates are similar to ordinary humans.
Therefore, there are various indications that before the abandonment, this place is estimated to be the town of the aboriginal people of the Abyss.
"If it's where the aborigines of the abyss lived, why are the bones here so strange, the way of death is different, and the time of death is different... It's like, they died from other places and then moved It's like coming here."
Because these skeletons have been dead for too long, many clues have been wiped out, and it is difficult to determine whether this is the first scene of death.
"Have you found any information about this place?" Angel asked.
Greenwood said: "There are some carvings that say it is called Manotan. However, I have never heard of this name. As for other clues, there is no such thing."
"It seems that even if man-made buildings are discovered, there is still nothing to gain." Popota sighed, unable to determine the location, how to leave
Angel pondered for a moment: "It's not completely fruitless, at least it can be determined that this area should have been the aboriginal area of the abyss."
After a pause, Angel looked at Greenwood and asked, "I remember reading in a book before that the aborigines of the abyss basically live on the surface of the abyss?"
Greenwood nodded: "Yes, there are also some strong aborigines. They occasionally appear in the inner layer, but I have never heard of building aboriginal settlements in the inner layer... Moreover, according to Condensation According to the records of the Abyss Treaty, the habitation of the aborigines is basically limited to the surface of the abyss, or even the most surface area."
"Condensation Treaty?"
"The main content of the treaty drafted by the Demon Eye of Ningyuan is the offensive and defensive restrictions of the demons and the abyssal natives. However, few demons will abide by..." Greenwood explained.
"It's the Ningyuan Demon Eye again, but he is quite idle." It was Popota who spoke, because the Lord of Profoundness wanted to seize the power of the Ningyuan Demon Eye, and Popota was quite concerned about some of the deeds of the Ningyuan Demon Eye. understand.
Greywood rolled his eyes at Popota and looked at Angel: "The shop owner, you asked about the gathering place of the aborigines, which means that this should be the surface of the abyss?"
Angel nodded.
"It's quite possible, but I know very little about the surface of the abyss. Lord Orusia may know something, but it hasn't woken up yet."
"It's okay, let's keep going. Maybe, we'll find out later."
Since he didn't get too many clues here, Angel did not continue to wander, but drove the gondola and continued to move towards the southeast.
Perhaps it was because he entered the "former civilization area". In the next journey, he did not encounter volcanoes and lava, but basically rolling mountains, or endless wilderness.
"The skeletons in that town, I always find it a little strange. If outsiders move them there, wouldn't it be too much trouble? If it wasn't for outsiders to move them, did they appear there by themselves?" Popota wondered. road.
Popota's doubts are destined to be answered by no one.
Time passed, and after half an hour, they saw a second town built around the hill.
However, just like the Manotan I met for the first time before, this small town named Xiuitan was also abandoned and covered with a large number of skeletons.
As for other clues, there are still no clues.
Next, they encountered several abandoned aboriginal gathering places, but they were basically the same as before. The only difference was the type of bones.
Among them, what surprised them the most was that they saw human skeletons.
And not just one.
Judging by the bones, these human skeletons may not have been too strong during their lifetime. Most of the bones do not contain energy properties, which means that it is estimated that they were all middle and low-level apprentices during their lifetime. Of course, there may also be mortals, but the probability of mortals appearing in the abyss is extremely small.
One thing can also be judged from this, this is definitely somewhere on the surface of the abyss.
Because of the middle and low level apprentices, it is impossible to go to the inner floor, and even rarely go to the second floor of the abyss. Basically, they are all mixed up in the outermost layer of the abyss.
That is to say, this may be some auxiliary space on the outermost surface of the abyss, or the void continent
When Angel guessed so, they saw another abandoned city.
Perhaps it was the curiosity of the bear child. Greenwood was the most active in exploring. Angel had already had no expectations for these cities. Anyway, even if he found the name of the city, he didn't know where it was.
However, this time Greenwood brought a surprise.
A white bone in a tattered wizard's robe lay in front of Angel.
This is what Greenwood found in the city called "Gistan".
"There are still some human skeletons in it, but this skeleton has an iconic emblem on it. I thought you might know it, so I brought it out." Greenwood pointed to the side of the wizard's robe, where there was a very unique Signet.
A golden witch flower.
The witch flower is a kind of alchemy magic material. It looks like a rose, and its color is really black and red. It looks like a charming witch. The main ingredients of the medicine and fragrance are to correct the skin. Some medicines to maintain the appearance, the witch flower is indispensable, because it is sought after by witches, and the women who use the witch flower are mainly women, so it is called the "witch" flower.
Angel is familiar with the witch flower. But he had never heard of the organization that used the golden witch flower as its emblem.
Angel looked at Popota, who had been in the wizarding world for a longer time than him, maybe he found something.
Popota looked at the emblem for a long time, and said unsurely: "I seem to have seen this emblem somewhere. It seems to be the mark of a wizarding organization... However, it doesn't seem to be from the wizarding world of the Southern Region."
"Not a wizarding organization in the wizarding world of the Southern Region?" Angel looked at Popota: "Are you sure?"
Popota shook his head, "I just have an impression, but I can't be sure."
Angel frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Greenwood: "Are there any aboriginals in the abyss among the other aspects?"
Greenwood nodded: "Yes, but like the barren side, according to the Treaty of Ningyuan, these aborigines basically live on the surface of the abyss."
Angel rubbed his eyebrows: "If there are aboriginal people in other aspects, then we shouldn't have come to other aspects, right?"
Popota didn't know what the so-called phase face was, and looked at Angel with a puzzled expression.
Angel briefly explained the pattern of the abyss, then looked at Greenwood, hoping to get the answer from this demon noble.
Greenwood hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It shouldn't, if you want to go to other aspects, there is basically only the door of phase. And the doors of phase are all guarded by demon lords, so they should still be on the barren side. ."
If you didn't go to other aspects, then the skeleton in front of you came from other aspects
But, how did he come here through the phase plane
In the end, Angel didn't figure it out, and could only continue on the road with doubts.
This time, they flew for nearly an hour before they saw the new building complex again. Greenwood went to explore excitedly as before, while Angel frowned and looked at this town on the wasteland.
This was not the biggest building complex they encountered, but it gave Angel a strange feeling.
"What's wrong with you?" Popota looked at Angel suspiciously.
Angel looked at the edge of the wasteland in the rain curtain: "I just vaguely feel that the feeling of calling seems to be getting closer... Maybe, it's in this wasteland."
…
"Shopkeeper! I found two bodies!"
When Angel silently felt the "calling", Greenwood's voice suddenly came.
Angel didn't care at first, but soon, Greenwood's second voice came over: "It's a fresh corpse! Besides, it's human!"
Hearing this, Angel and Popota looked at each other and flew off the boat without hesitation.
