Chapter 32: city of twilight
Following the exploration of the City of Silver, a splendid but low dusk gradually appeared in Igna's eyes.
The place where the twilight freezes and shrouds is a complex of buildings with countless palaces, countless towers and majestic city walls. They are magnificent and gorgeous, like miracles only in myths and legends, and they are still in a long time.
Under the leadership of Chief Colin Iliad, Derrickberg and other nine-member exploration team left the afternoon town camp and walked along the stairs paved with gray stones, among tall and dark buildings, towards the top of the mountain. go.
According to Michelle's introduction and previous knowledge, Igna knew that these team members were at least Sequence 6 Beyonders, and most of them belonged to the "Warrior" pathway. After the main monster, finally came to the area shrouded in dusk, and was shocked by the huge and epic building, and no one spoke for a short time.
Igna was also shocked by the sight in front of him.
"This is the kingdom of the ancient gods."
And based on his previous experience in the dreamland, he knew very well that this might be the first time this exploration team saw "Dusk".
For the first time in 2200 years, there is "natural light" other than eternal lightning and darkness.
Igna couldn't take his eyes off the magnificent building in front of him for a long time.
"lets go."
After waiting for an unknown time, when everyone made the corresponding psychological preparations, Colin Iliad and the "shepherd" Lovia led the members of the exploration team into the front of the twilight light.
The huge towering building stood quietly in the frozen dusk, and there was no sound around it, as if it was just an oil painting.
Before Igna could sense anything, he saw the extraordinary object in Derrick Berg's hand, the patina on the surface fell off, revealing an entity composed of pure light.
The light emitted by this entity is no longer clear and pure, and it is dyed with a bit of orange red unique to dusk.
Immediately afterwards, Igna felt that his state had fallen to the bottom, as if he was at the most exhausting moment of the "day" and was ready for the coming night.
Since this is Derrick's memory, Derrick's dream, Igna can feel all the states of Derrick Berg.
They seem to have come to dusk.
After entering the place shrouded in dusk, the entire exploration team, including chief Colin Iliad and the "shepherd" elder Lovia, inevitably appeared in a state of exhaustion and decay. , and as they moved forward, or wandering on the road, or rushing out of different buildings, the rotting giants became more and more powerful.
After such a weakening of one side and a strengthening of the other side, it became difficult to move forward. After several fierce battles, the Silver City Exploration Team finally broke through the "blockade" and "interception" of those monsters, and came to an extremely quiet place with no sound. A tingling area of the scalp.
"Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad broke the silence and reminded: "This means that we have truly entered the 'Royal Court of Giants' and are about to approach the core part, and the level of danger will only increase, not decrease."
After hearing this sentence, a small number of members of the exploration team were shaken due to the influence of "twilight". In their opinion, although most of the time in the previous stage, they and others did not dare to stay for fear of being surrounded by rot giants. But after all, there was a situation where all the monsters in a small place were cleared, and you could take a rest and adjust for a while, and obtained a lot of Beyonder characteristics, magical materials and potion formulas. It can be said that this exploration has already gained enough, and there is no need to continue. Going deep, the best thing to do now is to find a suitable building, build an advance camp, and prepare for the second exploration.
Facing such a proposal, Colin Iliad didn't say much, but emphasized that the purpose of this exploration is to find out as much as possible about the general situation of the "Royal Court of Giants" and to accumulate enough information for various follow-up actions. .
Then, he asked a team member named Antirna to "pacify" the shaken ones.
Since the "shepherd" elder Lovia also supported the chief, the few members of the exploration team quickly adjusted their mentality and followed the chief quietly.
After a while, they saw a huge stone staircase, which was grayish-white as a whole, but stained with orange light, both gorgeous and silent.
Each level of this staircase is relatively high. Above the huge staircase is a city wall so majestic that one has to look up to see the top. There are many traces of damage and burns on it. In some places, there are ordinary trees with a thickness of several meters. Mi's arrows caused some of the rocks to collapse.
In the middle of the city wall is a door that is dozens of meters high. Its color is more gray-blue, with golden nails inlaid on it, and there are two guards who can create a strong sense of oppression just by looking at it. .
They were five or six meters tall and wore exquisite and sturdy silver full-body armor. One held a big sword, and the other smashed a giant axe to the ground. Behind the visors, each had an orange-red light, like a one-eyed one.
"Silver Knight..."
"Demon Hunter" Colin raised his right hand and slashed his straight sword horizontally, blocking the members of the exploration team behind
——He had already pulled out the two straight swords he was carrying and applied different medicines to them.
Silver Knight... Igna heard his eyelids twitching slightly and his heart palpitated.
He only recently learned the names of some pathway Sequence 3s from Senior Xiao Zhou's study. The Sequence 3 who knows the "Giant" pathway is called "Silver Knight".
What surprised and frightened Igna was that the gatekeepers of the core part of the "Royal Court of Giants" were actually two Sequence Three demigods. What kind of heroic handwriting was this?
And this is only the gate area of the Royal Court. If you can go deep, you don't know what you will encounter.
At this time, the "shepherd" elder Lovia took two steps forward and stood side by side with Colin Iliad, looking up at the gray-blue gate and the two "silver knights" who were in an unknown state and said, "If there is only one , we have a chance to solve it.”
Colin Iliad nodded, glanced at Lovia and Derrick Berg respectively, and observed the front for a while: "At present, as long as we don't approach that gate, the two guards will not attack us. "
"Maybe you can try to lure one of the 'Silver Knights' away and do a separate cleanup?" The female warrior named Antirna thoughtfully put forward a suggestion.
She has burgundy medium-length hair, and her facial features are not delicate, but they are extremely atmospheric and bright when combined. In this exploration operation, her main task is to rely on a sealed item in charge to treat the psychological problems of the team members, and to fight against the enemies with the ability in the spiritual domain.
Antirna's specific idea is that she and the other members divert one of the "Silver Knights" and rely on the terrain and cooperation to deal with it, while the chief and Elder Lovia join forces to deal with the remaining one, and strive to solve it as soon as possible.
This is the textbook way of dealing with similar situations in the City of Silver.
"Even if there is only one 'Silver Knight', it will be very difficult, and there is no guarantee that the 'Silver Knight' you lead away will not directly reveal the mythical creature form." "Demon Hunter" Colin calmly denied Antirna 's suggestion.
Not to mention the "Silver Knight" itself has powerful extraordinary abilities, as long as it shows the form of mythical creatures, most of the members of the Silver City exploration team will not be able to look directly, affected, and it is impossible to deal with it.
Before waiting for the rest of the team to speak, Colin Iliad glanced back and said, "Go the other way.
"Derrick found some information in the reflection world of Afternoon Town, which records a passage in the area behind the Royal Court of Giants."
"Shepherd" elder Lovia's eyes immediately turned to Derrick Berg, indifferent, calm, and without any emotion.
"Okay." Lovia agreed with Colin Iliad's proposal.
So, the exploration team exited the huge stone staircase and detoured to the left.
It didn't take long for them to see a rough path, with a towering cliff on the right, and an invisible bottom on the left, a cloud stained with the light of dusk.
Of course, the path is only relatively spacious for the giants, and for the members of the Silver City Expedition Team.
Step by step, Derrick and the others were inspired at the same time, and subconsciously looked to the side.
On the edge of the cliff, gray-blue swollen palms stretched out from the orange-red cloud, and they were so densely packed that it was hard to count them.
If these are all giants, even if it is just a Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 giant, relying on this number, it is enough to destroy the Silver City Exploration Team here.
Colin Iliad was about to swing the straight sword in his hand, but Derrick Berg raised the "No Dark Cross" in his hand a little higher, and pressed a finger on a thorn spike , oozing out bright red blood.
The twilight light emitted by the pure cross suddenly brightened, and it seemed to return to the noon state. They rushed towards the edge of the cliff fiercely, shrouding the gray-blue giants who were trying to climb up.
These giants solidified there at the same time, their bodies faded inch by inch, and they quickly disappeared.
They are not real giants, but the ghostly ghosts of the ghosts left behind after the tragic deaths of those giants. Therefore, the "No Dark Cross" has a feeling.
It is a holy-level sealed artifact in the field of "sun", and it is the nemesis of resentful souls, shadows and evil spirits.
After easily eliminating these monsters, the Silver City exploration team continued to move forward vigilantly. After a while, they finally bypassed the mountain walls and cliffs and saw a gray forest.
The trees in the forest are dozens of meters high and extremely sturdy, but the skin is peeling off, the trunk is rotten, and the branches and leaves are withered, which intuitively gives people the feeling of decay.
Those branches and leaves should have been entangled together, forming a cover in mid-air, blocking the light of the evening, and making the interior dim, but at this time, due to the collapse of a large number of trees, the orange-red light has spread all over the forest. some places.
"This is the 'decaying forest' where the ancestors of the giants, the parents of the giant king, are buried." Derrick looked in front of him, and silently calculated how long he could use the "No Dark Cross" before speaking to the chief and his teammates. they said.
Colin Iliad stared at the forest for a while and said: "It has been destroyed, even if there is still residual danger, it will not be too strong, we can try to explore."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Derrick responded without hesitation, "My cross can stand against the environment here, I will go ahead."
The gray-haired Colin nodded lightly: "Be careful around you."
Derrick took a breath and took a big step towards the "Forest of Decay". (Note 1)
