Chapter 1504 Another
The great adventurer has been circulating in the world for hundreds of years, and countless miracles and magnificent scenery are like passing clouds and smoke. He has witnessed the blazing fire burning deep in the earth's crust, and has also witnessed the falling of meteorite rain into the plains. He has once looked at the chaotic nothingness from the boundaries of the real world, and has also talked happily with those powerful masters in the field of elements. And in this long and magnificent life, he has four words often spoken and will be widely known in the future.
These four sentences are - this thing is glowing! This thing is smoking! What is this thing? What is this?!
After hearing the old man's scream, Maggie sweated coldly on the spot, and even felt that the scales on her back were about to emerge. She rushed to Modir in two steps. The next second she saw the hundreds of hexagonal stone pillars forming a huge pile of stones indeed appearing on the surface of the hundreds of hexagonal stone pillars that formed a huge pile of stones, just like thousands of fireflies suddenly appearing from the night sky, and like a surging veins inside the stone. The light of the stars flowed on the surface of the stone pillars. Under the dim dusk skylight, the entire pile of stones was instantly covered by a layer of dreamy light!
"Don't panic, don't panic, it seems there is no danger," Modir quickly waved his hand, then put a shield on himself and his teammates and said quickly, "I can sense its energy flow... There are no lethal spells and traps being activated. This is just the process of it waking up from its sleep..."
"Are you sure?" Maggie asked in a low voice while keeping alert. Thin dragon scales appeared near her cheeks and wrists, and dark golden light gradually appeared in her eyes. Mars burst out from time to time as she spoke. This was her highest warning sign in human form. "There is no danger for such a large-scale 'record'?"
She didn't even have the nerve to mention the ten-layer magic armor technique that the other party had just photographed. After all, the old man's magic armor technique was a habitual action. The protective spell he attached to himself every day was enough for an ordinary adventurer team to survive in the wilderness for half a year.
"The flow of magic will not deceive people. I did not sense dangerous magical magic." Modir murmured casually, and almost as he finished speaking, the change of the stone pile reached a certain critical point - the continuous stream of light calmed down instantly, and then it converged inward little by little. The originally dim and ancient stone pile was now covered with mysterious and shining runes and connections. Then, everyone at the scene heard a buzzing sound from the stone pile.
Huge holographic projections suddenly appeared in front of the pile of stones and appeared in front of everyone.
It was a brilliant city image, a city with a distinctly styled city shone brightly in the sun; there were busy city walls, bustling pedestrians walking through the market; there were huge sculptures on the street, hilarious children and jugglers on the roadside; workshops driven by magic, theaters with melodious melodies, flower fields blooming on the edge of the city, and landscape fountains dancing in the magical light...
One scene after another holographic projection condensed in front of this huge pile of stones. The clear magical illusion seemed to vividly reproduce some things that had become history. Maggie looked at these illusions that filled the entire field of vision in shock, and then suddenly heard a calm and slightly mechanized female voice coming from the direction of the pile of stones: "Welcome to Lenghai City, this is the last city connecting the "border" in the inland of Violet.
"Lenghai City is located in the southeast of the Violet Kingdom, between Palan Santo and Plandell. It is known as the "Bridge of Golden" between the inland and borders. The prosperous business and magic workshops spread throughout the city are the greatest pride of Lenghai citizens... The Municipal Council Hall of Lenghai City is located northeast of the city center. The designer is the outstanding architect Ms. Planvís Santochi... In history, Lenghai City and Palan Santo were the earliest concentrated trade cities in the Violet Kingdom. Even until Prince Nash Nalt came to power, Lenghai City was..."
In this pleasant female voice, Maggie couldn't help but raise her head. She saw Modir looking at her, and from the old mage's face, she saw the same thoughtfulness and suddenness.
The holographic projection in front of the pile of stones is still present, new pictures are constantly appearing, and new short films are constantly projecting from the top of a stone pillar - a city, which has countless memories, countless perspectives, and countless things worthy of pride and narration. They flow in the streets and alleys, engraved between stones and steel. What these magical illusions can record and display at this moment may be less than one percent and one thousandth of these memories.
But even so, after seeing the magical illusion in front of him, Maggie still felt that she had understood what the "builder" of the stone pile wanted to convey.
I don’t care whether everything can be recorded, nor whether there are latecomers who can understand and remember everything the stone pile tells, nor even whether these narratives will be a day when the light of day is again seen. This huge stone pile seems to have only one purpose, that is, to leave a mark in this world, and a mark that proves that "we do exist."
Suddenly, Maggie recalled what her father had said to him when she was very young, when she was not so rebellious and had not yet jumped down from the Longyue Cliff:
"...If one day we are destined to disappear in this world, everything we care about, hate, and love will lose its meaning in the next era... If there is really a day, and we have a little time to do something when that day comes, will we want to leave something in this world to prove our existence..."
She recalled that she seemed to have never understood her father's inexplicable sigh in her whole childhood. She only vaguely remembered that her father went to the highest Dragon Land Fort on the mountain to accept the summoning of the Dragon Blood Lord... Now looking back, Maggie suddenly understood something. She thought that maybe it was on that day that her father had come into contact with the mission that the dragon descended once shouldered, and the truth about Tallongde and the "exiled people"...
"The Violet Kingdom is just a dream for Ms. Ye, but a dangerous vision for us. For the whole world, it is just a kingdom that has disappeared inexplicably, a primitive island that has returned to the wilderness..." She couldn't help but whisper, not knowing who it was to say, "But for the Violet people... it's not like that,"
Modir next to her didn't say anything. The old mage just looked up and looked at the top of the pile of stones. He didn't seem to have so much emotion, but was just stuck in long-term thinking. Seeing this, Maggie couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"
"I was just thinking that it seemed that the disappearance of the kingdom was not a very sudden thing for the Violets themselves," said the old mage thoughtfully. "Although we outsiders felt that it was swallowed up by thick fog overnight, the passage of time in the Dream itself will never be referenced by the real world... Look at this huge pile of stones, and think about other piles distributed on the entire Violet Island. This seems to be a large-scale project."
Maggie nodded slowly while thinking, and then she was a little confused: "But in coastal cities like Prandall and Rattle, there was no such pile of stones after the fog dissipated..."
"Maybe it's because they are too close to the 'border'," Modir said casually. "Even the Violet people who are the creation of Ms. Ye's dream, it is probably not a simple matter to leave such a 'monument' that crosses the boundaries of dreams and reality. The coastal area of Violet Island is the weakest part of the God's Dream, and the power of the real world dominates there... In fact, I suspect that the Violet people left these stone piles with the acquiescence or even help from Ms. Ye, which can explain why the stone piles appear in the inland where the powerful dream power is."
Maggie thought, and at this moment the narrative recorded in the pile of stones gradually came to an end, and the magical illusions projected in the air began to dissipate one by one, and the memory of this "monument" seemed to have ended here.
It recorded a little less than Maggie thought.
Maggie breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and return to the place where the team was camping, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Modir's voice suddenly coming from the side: "Wait, it seems that there is something... No, something has entered the magic cycle of the stone pile! Something is connecting in!"
Maggie stopped suddenly, turned to look at the last holographic projection left in front of the pile of stones. The next second, she saw the magic illusion shaking a few times. Large pieces of disturbing patterns quickly reorganized into a clear picture in the shaking. The figure of a beautiful lady appeared in the middle of the picture. She was extremely beautiful, with long brown curly hair scattered behind her head, wearing a luxurious white court dress. Against the backdrop of the slightly flickering illusion boundary, the lady was like a classical court lady depicted in an oval photo frame, exuding a mysterious and elegant temperament.
After the beautiful lady in a white long dress appeared, she turned her eyes to Maggie and Modir who were fully alert, and a smile appeared on her face: "Welcome, visitors from the 'outside', I really didn't expect that the first contact signal would be the Lenghai Node... I hope that Violet's extremely limited hospitality conditions have not bothered the guests too much."
"Who are you?" Maggie asked immediately, while standing quietly in front of Modir. Although this legendary adventurer is powerful, he is a spellcaster after all. At critical moments, he still needs a warrior like himself to guard the front.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart - when she realized the truth about the Violet Kingdom before, she was thinking that this huge country would be gone, and there was no one on the entire Violet Island, and there were only the primeval forests and the unmanned wasteland. As a result, not long after the in-depth exploration, unexpected "mysterious people" emerged one after another. First, she called herself an operator of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but no matter how she looked, she didn't even look like a human. Then she crawled over along the network cable and looked like a ghost-like noble lady...
This Violet Kingdom is truly something born from the dream of the ancient gods, and it is very evil.
The mysterious lady who appeared in the magical illusion seemed to have not noticed the tense atmosphere at the scene. She just kept a graceful and decent smile and nodded slightly to Maggie: "You can call me 'Benadedo', and be regarded as one of the last 'managers' retained on this land... The director of the big library, the clerk of the archives, the main control spirit of the dim court, Prince Nash Nalt's assistant... I have many identities, but here, you just think that I am a demon spirit that continues to run among the ancient ruins."
Listening to the series of names reported by the other party, especially the name "Prince Nash Nalt", Maggie's expression became serious in an instant, and Modir next to her grabbed another point: "Main control spirit...the magic spirit, so, are you a magical intelligence created by the Violet people? Are you a tower spirit? After the Violet Kingdom disappeared, you are still running?!"
"The kingdom disappears... Ah, indeed, from the perspective of the real world, the kingdom of Violet has indeed disappeared," said the beautiful lady who claimed to be Benadido, smiling and shook her head gently. "But even so, the people who once lived in this kingdom always want to leave something before returning to their 'homeland'. This is how humans are. The shorter life is, the more they like to let their traces last forever... With the promise and help of the Lord of Night, some Violets choose to leave collective monuments, just like the one you see in front of you, while others choose to leave behind the creations they are proud of..."
Speaking of this, Benadido pointed at himself, and a complicated expression appeared on his face: "I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, I seem to be a creation that the Violets are proud of..."
Maggie blinked, not knowing what to do for a moment. Modir on the other side seemed to think about something after thinking about it: "You just said that you are one of the last management personnel to be retained on this land, so there are other 'managers'? Is there a girl named 'Morning Star' among these management personnel? Or a group of people who claim to be the Shadow Affairs Department of the Military Intelligence Bureau?"
"Morning Star?" Benadido frowned, then she turned her head to the side, as if an invisible person was saying something beside her, and then her face showed a look, "It seems that you have already contacted 'them'... But I don't know much about them. This is something that Lord Ye personally controls, and I have nothing to do with them. There is another person in the 'manager' I just mentioned."
"So you know that such a group of people existed," Maggie couldn't help but speak, "Who are they? Why do they appear here? They and Ms. Ye actually have..."
"I've said that I don't know much about them," Benadido spread his hands helplessly. "The Lord of Night personally controls things. What authority does I have to ask about the magical intelligence created by the Violet man?"
As if he noticed the suspicion and disappointment on Maggie's face, Benadido immediately added: "But I think you can relax a little, the Lord of Night will not have any bad intentions..."
"...It's really unconvincing to say this sentence from the magical intelligence created by a Violet man," Maggie sighed. She realized that the friendly and friendly "manager" in front of her did not seem to cooperate with the question and answer the question. "Please explain the purpose, you suddenly came to us...what is there?"
"It's nothing big," Benardo smiled, "I just want to invite you to visit the Thousand Towers City - this is also the ultimate goal of your exploration, right?"
