Xyrin Empire

Chapter 1098: Chief of Guard

Views:

I'm embarrassed to admit that after spending a long time with this group of giant dragons who seem to have gone astray on the evolutionary tree, I almost forgot the purpose of this group of people coming here.

"There is an ancient relic near here," I said loudly, looking at the black dragon, Charl's wife (I don't know why every time I think of this word, I feel very emotional), "Actually we are for that relic here."

All the dragons fell silent at the same time. Charl touched his wife's neck and said in a low voice, "He's talking about the Forgotten Garden. They want to open that forbidden land."

The atmosphere seems to have undergone a subtle and rapid change. If I was talking about a group of happy hermits whose evolution collapsed in front of me a second ago, this second I felt that what I was standing in front of me seemed to be a group of guardian dragons. The giant dragon Tracy looked at this side with huge eyes, and her tone suddenly became serious: "Are you going to the Garden of Oblivion? Do you know where it is?"

"I know. According to us, there should be buildings left by our compatriots a long time ago," Sandora looked at Tracy, and said naturally, "Lin and Char knew about the ruins before." Condition."

"You said that you are the same clan of the ancient gods who left this world?" The red dragon, who seemed to be the oldest and calmest, asked in a thunderous and low voice, "Now is not the time to joke—are you serious? of?"

"I feel a little strange," my sister frowned and looked at each other. "What is the relationship between you... and the 'ancient god' you mentioned. Who did you think we were at first?"

"Our relationship with the ancient gods is not important. As for your identities in my opinion...Char said you are the gods," the red dragon rumbled gutturally, "I thought he meant that you were the mortals from the Mother Continent." The ancient spirit revered as a god."

Sandora's glasses narrowed slightly: "Oh? In your opinion, what do those ancient spirits mean?"

"It's just a stronger creature," the red dragon shook its wings, "but it doesn't matter if the mortals in the mother continent say they are gods, it's just a title anyway. But here. The 'god' of the mother continent and our dragon legend The ancient gods are two terms, it seems that I misunderstood Charl's introduction, you want to say that you are actually the ancient gods?"

"Um, haven't you noticed?" I suddenly realized vaguely that this group of giant dragons might have encountered the most troublesome "shielding effect" that everyone has encountered not long ago, "Do you know these things?"

With that said, I activated a set of holographic projections. The most classic battleship cluster and psionic crystals of the empire are projected in mid-air, considering that this world is full of things from the mysterious side of the old empire. I ended up projecting images of ravens and angels.

"The last image is indeed the warriors of the gods. They have wings on their backs and fight with light and lightning, but what are those things in front?" Tracy looked at the virtual projection in midair curiously, and stretched out her claws to try to touch those images —Of course, she didn't touch anything, "You don't want to say that those castles floating in the starry sky are the evidence of you as the ancient gods? I don't remember that the ancient gods have such a thing. Although I have never experienced the rule of the ancient gods glorious era. But the things in the legend will not be remembered wrong.”

"As an aside, those castles are quite magnificent," murmured Char. "Although there is the will of the ancestor spirits, I can't confirm the identities of these people. That's why I brought them here. They are indeed not the ancient spirits who are regarded as 'gods' on the mother continent, but they don't seem to be legends either. The ancient gods in the world."

Sure enough, it appeared! That kind of weird split shield!

Just like Pandora and the others have no memory of these lost worlds at all, the dragons in this world who have been in contact with the old empire have no information about the technology side of the old empire in their legends—since the disaster, the technology side of the old empire The world is completely separated from the mysterious side, and there is an unexplainable information barrier between the two sides.

Or to put it more strictly, this information barrier is built on the basis of the fifteenth sky zone of the old empire, and what is separated is all the technology-side information and more than 80% of the mysterious side data in the fifteenth sky zone of the old empire.

"Fortunately, you at least know the image of an angel." I pointed to Alaya next to me, and the thought-body angel who was being held by Little Bubbles with a rope. "This can prove something."

"I noticed that it does look the same as the legendary warrior of the ancient gods, but to be honest, I have never seen what a real warrior of the gods looks like," Tracy sniffled and shook her head, "but it doesn't matter, If you want to go to the Garden of Oblivion, go, we can lead the way, it is already open there."

"Huh?!" Lin Xue couldn't help shouting, "Why didn't you say it earlier! I thought you were the guardian dragons of the ruins! You're spending so much effort here!" Not to mention Lin Xue, we all thought so, Originally, I thought that the giant dragon here was responsible for guarding the ruins of the ancient empire, but now that I heard it, it was so easy to let it go? Why are they here? !

"We? Of course we are guarding the ruins, but this task has just ended," the red dragon nodded to Lin, saying, "The instructions handed down from ancient times are very clear. The spirits of the ancestors can go to the Forgotten Garden. All visitors brought by the spirit are also allowed. In addition, if there is no ancestor spirit leading the way, visitors who can independently activate the garden gate are also allowed to enter."

I roughly understood, looked at Sandora, and said in a spiritual connection: "It seems that there was a back road after the division of the Fifteen Heavens, and some people hope that the survivors of the Protoss or the Empire can open this ruin. Let's Came to the right place."

The elder sister looked at Tracy and said clearly: "That is to say, no matter who comes to the Dragon Kingdom and asks to go to that... Forgotten Garden, you will lead the way. Anyone who can open the door can enter, but if you don't Can't open that door..."

"Visitors can try the time of sunrise and sunset, and if they still can't open the gate after that, then don't even think about leaving the dragon kingdom alive, this space will be completely sealed until the dragon destroys all intruders." The giant dragon with bronze-colored scales on its head said, "We are not the guardian dragons who mainly fight. There are real guards at the entrance of the garden. They are guardians who have survived from ancient times to the present. They are stronger than us. If we just Worst case scenario like that one mentioned. We'll go into battle with the Guardians—yes, you can talk to the Guards and see if they know something."

"Then take us to the ruins." It seems that the records of these giant dragons are also messy. I no longer have any expectations for how much knowledge they can keep, but directly put forward my request. It seems that my group met the conditions to open the way by mistake. Although I can't guarantee that we can open the gate of the ruins, we happen to have a dragon god with us—but there is one thing I don't quite understand. Why in the legend of the dragon, only the spirit of one's own ancestors (that is, the dragon god of the star field) can lead people into the ruins. The other star domain gods didn't even mention it. Could it be that the people who left such a back road for the Fifteen Heavens District only knew that there was a dragon god in the Starfield Protoss

I took this issue to the Spirit Link public channel to discuss it, and finally everyone agreed that it was because this group of brainy dragons spent too long and misremembered what the master told them back then...

It was Char and Tracy who were leading us, but this time our means of transportation was no longer Lynn—Sandora was very worried that this idiot would destroy the precious imperial ruins when he landed, so everyone would rather Flying over, Lin was also ordered to fly in human form. We soon moved away from the cloud and mist mountains where the dragons live. Fly to the depths of the vast sea of clouds.

I hugged Little Bubble, and Little Bubble was holding the rope in his hand. The thought body angel was tied to the rope, and Sandora next to us looked at our combination. Asked curiously: "Do you think this angel can be used as a key to open the door?"

"We have to try. She is the only one we have the authority to open the doors of the mysterious buildings in the fifteen-day zone."

While I was talking, I was always paying attention to Little Bubbles not to accidentally let go and lose the "kite". This missing body angel seems to be of great significance now. In the past two days of communication with the other party (or the process of me talking continuously, and then making up the brain based on the slight movements of the other party), I am sure that she is in various lost world ruins. All have certain operating authority, but I don't know how high this authority can be. Now we know that the "Forgotten Garden" mentioned by the dragon is closed, and the only hope to open the door is this luminous kite.

Under the leadership of the giant dragon, the team passed through the thick clouds, and the height kept dropping during the period. I even felt that the height of everyone's descent was enough to reach the surface: if the lost world had a horizon. Finally, when the last clouds were behind us, a vast plain loomed before us.

It was still a piece of land floating in mid-air, but it was already quite large—maybe even as big as Shadow City. The plain is desolate and empty, and there is not even a shadow of any plants, which is quite different from the lush mountains in the sky before. From a high altitude, one can see that the ground below is covered with a huge flashing array, which stretches to the end of the land, and its scale is large enough to make any magic array that ordinary magic civilizations can research. Beyond the array of bare, stony ground, we saw no sign of any buildings.

Not to mention the ruins, there is not even a decent stone house. The only thing that can be seen is a huge arch still standing on the plain—the only man-made trace on the plain.

Charle and Tracy led us to land in front of this arch, only then did I realize that this door is really unusually tall, its height may be at least two hundred meters, and Lin can even use her dragon god form to fly through the middle past!

Doors that are 200 meters high are not uncommon. What is rare is that this 200-meter-high thing is still a ground structure—is it necessary for things built on the surface to be so big

"Eh... this is the ruins..." Qianqian looked up at the empty arch in front of her. The latter seemed to be made of a building material similar to the Sky Tower. It was still the kind that no one could recognize, but A high-end gadget with a technical content comparable to that of starship alloys. It has stood here for tens of thousands of years, but it is still as clean as new, and not even a scar can be seen on the surface.

"We know about other lost worlds," Tracy said, touching the cool metal of the arch with the tip of her nose. There was some emotion in the tone, "In those places where the power of the ancient gods could not take care of, everything has been turned upside down. In the past years, many intelligent creatures have found those lost worlds, and left many fragile city-states built by themselves there. , time passed, those lost worlds piled up the tatters left by countless mortals of all ages. But none of them lasted as long as the things left by the ancient gods. According to the oldest guardian, it still maintains the old days when the garden was closed. Look, no one has left any traces here for many years."

The black dragon's emotion is not unreasonable. We know a lot about the lost world from Sagina. In the lost world, the ruins are not only the buildings left by the old empire, but more common leftovers of civilization. Many thousands of years have passed since the collapse of the Old Empire. This period of time is enough for the various intelligent creatures on the mother continent to cycle out several civilizations. Most of the dilapidated buildings that can be found in the lost world are left by the mortal civilizations that were active during the period from the fall of the old empire until today. of. now. The city-states built by mortal civilizations have been broken down one after another, only the "ancient gods", the remains left by the ancient Xiling apostles are still intact on the land of the lost world, as if waiting for us to come.

Now is not the time to sigh, I withdraw my thoughts and focus on the huge arch in front of me.

"Is this the entrance to the Forgotten Garden?" I looked at Tracy, "Is it a teleportation device or something? Also, where are the guards you mentioned?"

"The Forgotten Garden was closed when I was born. So I don't know what the gate is, and I never saw it open." Tracy stood in the center of the arch, and the scales all over her body began to float dark shadows. He explained to us, "All the dragons don't know, we are just waiting according to the instructions left by our ancestors. As for the guardian here, you will see it soon..." The voice fell, and the body on the black dragon The shadow power was already real, and then she suddenly roared, and all the black energy in her body exploded instantly, forming a dark fan-shaped curtain, which splashed onto the surrounding doorposts.

These shadow energies obviously activated some kind of recognition device, and then we heard a mechanically synthesized straight female voice: "The recognition system is activated—it's determined to be a communication with peripheral soldiers. The chief guard is about to appear."

"Boom-boom-boom" bursts of rhythmic low-pitched sound came from the other side of the empty arch, as if a giant was coming here, and the heavy footsteps stopped when they came to the arch, Tracy and Char bowed their heads respectfully and took a few steps back, and then we saw a huge, metal-reflected figure emerge from the air in the middle of the arch.

It was a slightly familiar shape, just like the metal colossus that I saw in the square at the back gate of the Sky Tower that day. It was a silver-white giant that was more than ten meters tall and was made entirely of mysterious metal. But this silver-white giant Obviously different from the original guards, its skin did not have that kind of ring structure, but was integrated, and it was covered with a delicate and mighty armor, and it held a heavy golden lightning scepter in its hand. On the heavy armor of the opponent, there is a flowing magic energy radiance, and the cross crystal mark of the empire is inlaid on the chest, and there are complex and profound runes circulating around the edge of the armor, and the lightning scepter has three points. Two of them are made of metal, and one third of them are pure arcane lightning—it seems reasonable to say that it is a spear with a thunder blade. The face of this metal giant is not a smooth trapezoidal metal like the guard colossus of the Sky Tower, but has fine facial features: it looks like a middle-aged man with a full beard and hair, not angry and arrogant.

I can't help but think of the leader of the Atlanteans. Zeus seems to be a bit similar to him in appearance... Of course, Zeus will definitely not be able to defeat the head of the guard who is as powerful as a battleship reactor.

"Well, the children of the previous generation of guards... Oh, I forgot, you are now guards, you are here, what's the news this time?" The metal giant is more than ten meters tall enough to talk to Tracy and the others face to face, he Directly ignoring our group, the attention was completely focused on the two giant guardian dragons. Their voices roared like thunder, and they stood upright in front of the ancient arch, like giant gods guarding heaven.

At this moment, I couldn't help but exchanged glances with Sandora: a completely normal mysterious side guard of the old empire!

This is communicable!

"We have brought another group of visitors who want to open the Forgotten Garden," Charl now completely disappeared from his previous frivolous and unreliable appearance. He nodded respectfully to the giant, and his attitude was no less respectful than facing "According to the ancient order, we will bring all eligible visitors to you for inspection until someone can open the gate of the Forgotten Garden."

"Are you an adventurer again?" The giant's attitude seemed a little unconcerned. "Thirty thousand years ago, your grandparents brought a batch, but they were burned to ashes. I don't know what will happen this time."

"They are not the same as the last batch thirty thousand years ago," Tracy glanced at Lin, "They were led by the ancestor spirits of the dragon clan to the Dragon Kingdom, and they claimed to be ancient gods. "

"The spirit of the ancestors? It is judged by the souls of your dragon clan... Wait, you said ancient gods?!" The giant suddenly reacted, and the energy halo on his body suddenly became stronger several times. The block instantly turned into dust under the sudden increase of pressure, "Ancient God? Master of the garden? That's what they call themselves?"

"I said, big man, you should have noticed someone under your feet, right?"

I finally decided to take the initiative to attract the other party's attention, and raised my head and shouted.

The giant was attracted by the voice from below. He must have noticed us from the beginning, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now his eyes finally fell on us. I smiled at each other and prepared to introduce myself one time.

However, in the next second, the giant responded to us—waving the lightning scepter in his hand! RQ
