Chapter 1208: final journey
The sky was getting dark, and the castle was brightly lit again.
The panda did not use the command to return to the city, but flew back all the way from Kalipura Village, saw bright lights in the distance, then fell at the castle gate, and saw two magic puppets guarding the gate.
This is the "Portable Butler Type II" made by Yiluo. It is not very powerful in combat, but has high intelligence and can handle many daily household chores. As long as you don't let it go to work or buy things for you, rely on it to do laundry, cook, sweep the floor... Basically, you don't have to worry about starving or getting dirty.
Seeing the panda coming, the two puppets who looked somewhat human bowed their heads together.
Panda subconsciously returned a salute, and then walked into the castle gate.
The castle was a little deserted. The crowds that used to be lively and lively in the past were gone. Hamer and others had left the shelter and lost their control. Even the skeletons who were working as coolies became immobile bones. Other materials were sealed together in a nearby underground warehouse.
He walked straight into the castle hall. The hall was very quiet. Although many people had come back, no one wanted to chat. Instead, they found a seat and sat down. Some were drinking silently, while others were closing in. Eyes rested, and some eyes lost focus a little, obviously opening the system panel, perhaps reviewing his achievements over the years.
There were several empty seats in the first row, he found a random one to sit down, also said nothing, waiting with peace of mind.
After a while, it was already dark.
One after another traversers appeared next to the guild crystal, looked at the scene in the hall, and sat down without saying a word.
When everyone came back, Sanyu sighed and stood up to look at everyone.
"Everyone," he said, "actually...not everyone needs to participate in this battle..."
He got a couple of eyes, a couple of middle fingers, and a lot of soft laughs.
The dignified president smiled and shook his head: "You guys! Well, I won't talk nonsense, let's go!"
With that said, he walked to the guild crystal and closed his eyes.
The special panel that can only be opened by the guild leader is turned on, and the guild panel, which is usually dull, has brightened at this moment.
[Start the guild war, target the Dragon of Doom. 】
[Castle form conversion, flying fortress mode. 】
[Activate the exclusive skills of the castle, a glorious expedition. 】
The huge castle shook slightly, and blue light rose from the roof and turned into a crystal. Then the curtain of light fell, covering the entire castle.
Looking closely, the illusory crystal and the guild crystal are seven or eight similar in appearance and light.
A mechanical electronic voice sounded in the air: "The order has been received, the guild battle has started, and the castle form transformation has begun."
Obvious vibrations came from under their feet, and many travelers walked out curiously, and saw that the ground around the castle was shaking, countless earth and rocks were cracked, vegetation rolled over, and cracks appeared on the ground.
One after another, blue rays of light protruded from the large and small arrow stacks on the castle wall, turning into pillars full of metal texture, connecting the wall and the light curtain, as if to support the light curtain in this way.
Starting from the connection points, countless runes emerged, spread in all directions, and finally met and joined together.
When the entire light curtain was completely covered by the runes, the castle began to slowly rise with the electronic sound of "The protective cover is strengthened and begins to leave the ground."
It rose slowly at first, but gradually became faster.
After about a minute or two, the castle had risen quite high in the air. Looking towards the ground, the huge pit left by the castle's detachment has gradually disappeared into the night.
There was nothing to see in the dark night sky, and everyone returned to the castle hall one after another.
"How long will it take to fly?" Laisha asked curiously.
Sanyu closed his eyes and checked, and replied, "Twenty-four hours."
"So long? Too slow! Can't you hurry?"
"Yeah, for example, let's sail with a curvature, or teleport directly, or fold over something..." Loma also agrees, "It's high-tech anyway, you can't learn from remote areas, and the traffic basically depends on it."
Sanyu shook his head: "When did you hear that the guild battle can use the teleportation function? You can only fly over."
"Actually, the speed is quite fast." Alchemy master Yiluo said, "To be honest, I'm surprised. It only takes so much time to travel from the west to the east... How did you do it?"
"After this battle, you can study it slowly." Eric said, "If the castle hadn't been broken by then..."
"If it's broken, you can study it slowly." Ilo said with a smile, "As long as I'm not broken, it doesn't matter if it is broken."
Everyone laughed, but the laughter was a little reluctant.
After a while, the hall became quiet again.
Wang Tuhao took out a qin and played it gently, the music was like running water, flowing in the hall.
The panda sat on the seat and listened quietly.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
This time, he slept soundly and had some interesting dreams. In the dream, everyone was still on Earth, downloading dungeons, fighting world bosses, and fighting other guilds. News from several QQ groups in the guild always popped up. Come, there are often people making dinner appointments on WeChat, which is not the usual lively.
The dreams gradually faded away, and the last thing that appeared in front of his eyes was the scene in front of the train station.
The running crowd, the downed gangsters, and the blood on the ground on their hands...
He opened his eyes, woke up from sleep, reached out his hand subconsciously, and caught the blanket that had slipped from him.
The hall is no longer quiet. Some people are sitting in the corners playing cards, some people are eating and chatting in groups, some people are lying in sleeping bags and snoring, and some people are eager to maintain order-basically, a magic is thrown over to cut off the sound of playing cards, Chatting and grunting.
It feels like... it's like traveling on a boat...
"Are you awake?" Aaron, who was sitting in a daze not far away, was the first to notice the panda and greeted him, "Sanyu got some lunch boxes and put them in the crystal."
Panda turned his head and saw many lunch boxes piled next to the crystal.
He walked over, looked at the more than three sleeping beside him wrapped in a blanket, smiled, and took two. Then came over to Aaron and handed him one.
"Looking at your face, you haven't eaten for the past two days, haven't you? You're about to fight the Dragon of Doom, you can't do it if you don't eat enough!"
"I don't have any appetite...I can't do research, it's uncomfortable."
"You have to eat when you are uncomfortable, and when you are full, you have the strength to continue suffering."
Aaron smiled, opened the lunch box, and picked up the matching chopsticks.
"Hey, it's actually braised pork, it's not real!"
"Come on, you are destined to go to hell." Panda said with a smile, "Even if you eat fast and chant Buddha now, it's too late, save it!"
Both of them laughed, and after only two laughs, Eric, who was maintaining order in the hall, was very unhappy and threw a magic spell over them, isolating them and the surrounding voices.
After eating and drinking, he ran to the gate of the castle and threw the lunch box out, and went to the fountain to wash his hands. The panda returned to the castle hall relaxed and happy.
He had tried to go upstairs, only to find that the other rooms in the castle were closed.
In the huge castle, there are only halls and courtyards left for free entry and exit, and other rooms seem to have become decorations.
"Flying fortress mode is like this. Those rooms are now equivalent to isolation cabins, which are used to resolve the damage during collision, so that we can fight in the best state." When he asked Sanyu, he got this Reply.
"So... where are you flying to now?"
Sanyu checked and replied, "I have already left the Western Land World and are at sea. It will not be long before we reach the Doomsday Rift."
"Doomsday Crack?"
"Well, the place where the Dragon of Doom lives is of course the Rift of Doom - at least that's what the system log shows."
"So, after turning around, we still return to the game plot?" Panda frowned, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Sanyu smiled: "Yes or no. We made this choice not because someone forced us to do it, but we were willing to do it, right? You have always been a strong-willed person, don't go to the horns."
Panda thought for a while, and then smiled: "You're right! Since it's your own choice, it doesn't matter. If you have to pursue complete 'free will', there's probably nothing else to do except get nervous. It's the result."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to the crystal, thought for a moment, and put his hand on it.
The scene inside the crystal slowly changed.
"Do you want to see the earth?" Sanyu asked curiously. "Over the years, it seems that you have never seen the sight of you transmigrating through the crystal query. Everyone is a little curious."
Panda smiled and didn't answer.
It didn't take long for the scene in the crystal to be fixed, but it only changed for a moment, becoming the usual earth floating in space.
Except for him and Sanyu who were close at hand, no third person saw the fleeting scene.
Sanyu turned his head, his eyes widened, and he looked at the panda in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
"you……"
"Shh." Panda put his finger to his mouth and made a "don't talk" gesture, "This is a secret."
"...you already knew that?"
"Just some speculation."
"I really didn't expect..." Sanyu sighed, suddenly remembered something, and was shocked, "Wait! If we can go back, we'll be fine, what do you do?"
"There is no 'what to do'." Panda smiled and said, "It may not be impossible to save, modern medicine is very developed."
Sanyu looked at him for a long time, and finally said nothing.
