Chapter 14
Chapter 14
The city of death is gloomy at night, and the whistling wind adds to the coldness of the city atmosphere. Midachi, who insisted on entering, already felt the chill rising from the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but reach out and grab it Riel's clothes.
Riel, who once went out to sleep in the grave, naturally wouldn't be afraid of this pediatric coldness. He strode ahead with his head held high, his eyes were very bright, and Mani in his arms could also feel the chilly atmosphere around him, little guy A head emerged from Riel's arms, revealing small rolling eyes.
"Squeak?" Mani's little paws grabbed Riel's clothes and shook them.
Riel lowered his head and stroked its head: "What's wrong?"
The guards in front were all in a state of vigilance, two of them led the way in front, two defended in the back, and they protected Riel and Midach on the left and right.
Mani's paws pointed forward, Riel looked forward along his paws, there was a little light flashing in front of him, the light was very weak, the guards were not magicians, and the distance they could see from a distance was relatively short, while Mani was a fox Species, no one knows how much potential it has except Riel, but the giant python has clearly told him that the little fox Mani is still young, and the possibility of going to fight is very small, which means that Riel is now It's all about keeping Mani as a pet.
In view of the reminder from the little fox Mani, they all hid under the uninhabited earth buildings and walked along the edge when they entered the center of the city. Riel said aloud: "Everyone, be careful and pay attention to the front."
"Is there something in front? I see that there seems to be a flame getting closer and closer." This is what the guard on the left said.
indeed.
Riel also saw that the light just now was getting closer and closer to them. Riel's vision was better than theirs. He could see that the light had a shape, but it was not a human shape, but a four-legged monster with fire all over its body!He was startled, four of the guards around him were magicians, who had reached the level of first-class masters, and the other two were not. Midach's skill is considered a master, but he may need certain skills to deal with the monsters that are running wildly.
The fire was getting closer and closer, and everyone could see the thing clearly, and Midach asked: "What is that?"
The six guards have already begun to assume their fighting postures. Senior magicians do not need auxiliary tools such as magic wands and magic robes to a certain extent. The four magicians around Midach have reached a certain level. He does not need the ability now, or he has never thought of relying on external tools.
One of the guards said to them: "Master! Let us deal with this monster. You and Riel go to the side first!"
Since they were confident in their hearts, Riel didn't want to compete with them. He pulled Midachi back to the side. The monster was obviously a monster guarding the city. If someone invaded, he would know it immediately, so he didn't blame it. They were discovered as soon as they entered the city. Riel wondered why the monster was covered in fire, and his little pet Mani covered his eyes with his little paws. It was so scary outside.
Boom!
A huge fireball exploded in front of their eyes. The airflow of flames knocked the few people in front to the ground, and the wreckage of the building fell to the surroundings. The monster covered in fire opened its mouth and glared at them angrily.
"fool!"
The fire monster roared, Riel covered his nose, Mani also covered his nose with his paws, and Midach rubbed the tip of his nose.Riel said to Mani: "Mani, look, this is the benefit of bathing and washing your face, otherwise you will have bad breath like it, and people in a radius of hundreds of miles will be smoked away by it. Who is this secret weapon? You can practice."
Mani nodded its little head as if it meant something: "Squeak."
Riel continued to interact with Mani: "Good boy, we still have to keep a good habit of being clean and tidy in the future."
As the interaction object, Mani withered in Riel's arms at once, and answered Riel pitifully: "Squeak..." Taking a bath twice a day is very painful!
After the fire beast covered in flames roared, it flew towards one of the magicians. It was a water magician. He was the first one to stand up and attack the fire beast. No wonder the beast would regard him as a target. Magic The teacher used the water wall as a defense, and behind the water wall shot all kinds of water polo continuously. These water polos are not the ones you usually see in school, but they are powerful. As long as they hit the fire beast, the flames on the fire beast's body will explode. will decrease.
Although the water polo can be suppressed for a while, the fire beast is mainly fire after all, and the flames on his body are constantly emerging. The role of the water magician does not seem to be too great. The other three magicians recovered from their embarrassment. In addition to the water attack and the fire attack, the two sword-based guards were beside Midach. They were helpless now, after all, this was not their strong point.
In fact, the fire beast is not too difficult to deal with. Besides, four magicians teamed up and quickly defeated the fire beast. The flames all over the body of the dead fire beast gradually extinguished. The core was taken out, which seemed to be very helpful to him. After staying with the little master for a long time, he rarely saw a high-level magic core. This fire beast is in a pure state, and the power of the magic core will be higher.
After the matter of the fire beast was resolved, the eight continued to move forward.
This time they were not as high-profile as before. Before continuing to go, they should first discuss where is the best place for the accident, so that they can quickly find the missing people, and this is just their guess, and the specific situation will have to wait for them Take your time to explore.
The city of the dead, silent, gloomy, and terrifying.
It's very big, you don't know where the end of the city is, and if you walk along its main road, you can see the tallest spire building in the city of death, but the purpose of their coming here is just to find someone. There were several results. One was that they were trapped somewhere in the city, and the other was that they were injured and were hiding somewhere.
There are no people here, only flying sand all over the sky. After walking around the bungalows in the city for a day, Riel and the others still couldn't find anyone to ask, and they couldn't find an exit other than the city gate they came in. Midachi tried to send magic to his uncle. Letters, but all were returned, and Mi Daqi became impatient and depressed.
Riel sent a magic letter to Tankla in his free time, telling him that he could not continue the game due to certain things, and expressed his apology.However, in fact, if Riel does not send this letter, Noel will also tell Tanquela and Danio about these things.
Since this is a desert area, the temperature is low at night and high during the day. At noon, they found a bungalow with shade to rest and eat. They rushed here last night, and now they have nothing to gain. They might as well rest first. Get a good night's sleep and recharge your spirits before continuing to search.
In fact, everyone is different from fools. They also know that they can’t find anyone on the surface, but there is nothing they can do. It is a dead end to go out from here. There is only a desert outside the city. The shortcut to the Red Empire should be in that building. The steeple building that has not been entered is very suspicious.
Riel was lying on a makeshift bed made of hay made by former treasure hunters, with one hand behind his neck and the other stroking the back of Mani who was lying on his chest and sleeping when he was full. With his eyes open, he didn't know what to think, and the guards took turns guarding.
Midach suddenly turned around and asked Riel: "Guess where those treasure hunters went, and which entrance did they enter from? This city of death is indeed full of death breath, and there is no life at all. I really don't know who Where is the treasure?"
Riel, who was about to fall asleep, closed his eyes and said, "Perhaps entering the tallest building will give you the answer you want. You must know that human nature is greedy, and no amount of money can satisfy their bottomless desire."
When Riel said this, Midach, who had never suffered before, began to argue: "My uncle and the others are not that kind of people. They just wanted to find a shortcut to return to the country, but they were attacked by the death knights here!"
Midachi's nervousness and excitement didn't make Riel open his eyes to confirm something. He was just stating some facts. Midachi's uncle didn't want to go back to the country at all, but came here to find the legendary treasure. Dach has never wanted to think about it, but it doesn't mean Riel couldn't have imagined it. He came here just to see what the legendary treasure is, but it's a pity that he didn't study carefully before coming here.
"Midachi, you didn't rest well last night. Rest first. In the evening, we will enter the steeple building to confirm. I believe that is the entrance to find the treasure. It should also be able to get the reason why the treasure hunter disappeared. It is what we want that answer."
After finishing speaking, Riel turned over and fell asleep with his arms folded. Although he could sleep less, he had grown up sleeping eight hours a day, and sleep was still very important to him.
Staring at Riel's back, Midachi, who was sulking at himself, was unable to defend himself, and there was always a question lingering in his mind, did uncle and the others also come here to find the treasure?
Maybe the nerves were too tense, and the tired bugs quickly invaded Midach's brain, and he also fell asleep, but the quality of sleep was not as good as Riel's.
evening.
Riel and his party are ready to go again.
This time they didn't go around the spire building, but directly faced it, they needed to get answers from it, to be precise, to go deep into it, because it is the center of this dead city, and everything is surrounded by Follow it, it is the key point they are looking for.
This steeple building looks like a church from the outside. When you walk in, you find that it is full of mysteries. Looking up, there is a spiral staircase in the middle of the lobby. Could it be that the so-called treasure is on it? Look around carefully. They checked all eight corners, and there were no other exits or entrances.
Midach pointed to the entrance of the stairs and said, "Are we going to go up here?"
The guards were very disapproving of Midach's going up, but before they had time to speak, Riel stepped on the steps and jumped on the steps. The steps are very strong and should not collapse due to the increase in the number of people.
He turned to them and said, "I'll go up to find out first, and you can wait for me below."
Midach then raised his heels and said to Riel, "No, I'll go up with you."
Riel shrugged at the guards behind him, meaning that it had nothing to do with me, it was your young master who wanted to follow up. Naturally, the guards didn't think about it and followed immediately. It was their mission to protect the young master.
There are many steps in the spiral staircase, and almost none of them need to turn. Riel walked faster, and Midach followed behind him, a little distance away.Now they still have about five meters to reach the second floor.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound from the stairs, and it began to shake. The whole staircase was shaking.
Guard A said, "What happened?"
Guard C said, "How could this happen?"
The guard Ding shouted: "Master Midach, we will take you down first, there is a strange movement on the stairs! It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
The stairs were shaking more and more, Midachi clenched his teeth and hugged the handrail of the stairs, Riel was the same, and the others were similar, as long as they let go, they would be thrown away by the violently shaking stairs, and they might hit the wall It's not the same as above.
Next, it can be said that the changes intensified.
The well-lit lobby instantly turned black, and Riel was about to call out to Midach, "Midarch, be careful, don't leave..."
Crack clap!
"No!"
"what!"
"ah!"
"..."
The spiral staircase broke and turned into powder, and everyone fell down. Ruier wanted to exercise but had no support point. He had no choice but to fall down, and the fall took a long time.
In fact, it didn't fall to the ground, but... fell to nowhere!
