The entire siege operation was like throwing a rock at an egg, and it ended without even a decent resistance. After the end, Tio secretly transported the stolen money back home, and asked Alicia to complete the rest of the aftermath. .
To be reasonable, Levi really walked by this time to eliminate harm for the people. After getting rid of the gangsters that were in the way, Levi and his party went straight to the desert.
Dragon 001 Cursed Lands
"Everyone, you will reach the ruins of the ancient city a few kilometers ahead, everyone, please persevere. But Mr. Levi, I am not sure if you can find what you want there. It is said to be the ruins of the ancient city, but in fact it is just buried in the It’s just some ruins of buildings under the sand, I can’t think of any value for investigation.”
"Maybe it's the architectural style, maybe it's the stone wall buried a few meters down, history can always leave some clues."
Levi took out the map and marked it, and now he is thinking about the desert ruins.
After killing the people that day, he led the team straight to the desert, and now it is the second day after entering the desert.Walking on the hot sand, everyone in the team not only had to wear tight clothes, but also had to find opaque fabrics to cover their heads, and their steps became heavier and heavier as they walked.
Looking at the two rabbit-eared girls, Joseph and Hill, you can tell that her ears have been drooping since she entered the desert, like hanging orchids dying without water.In fact, the heat is secondary, and the main reason is boredom. After walking into the desert, you can only see one kind of scenery, and it is inevitable to get tired of looking at the same scenery over and over again.What about the devil?Don't hide and keep quiet, come out and let us chop!In short, such emotions suddenly spread in the team.
"But in the past so many years, even if there are clues, they will be buried deep. Can you find them?"
"Ancient texts, abandoned potholes, and some mysterious entrances, even if they are buried underground..." Levi glanced at Tiou, full of confidence, "Just dig it out again."
"It's hard for me to understand things in this aspect, but it's good for you anyway." Yona walked in front of the team with his tail flicking boredly. The lizardmen born in the desert are very slow to temperature, whether it is a steamer-like environment during the day or He didn't feel much in the cold weather at night.
On the other hand, the companions in the team became completely two people before arriving in the desert and after arriving in the desert.
"It's so hot...it's so hot! It's so hot—!" Helena began to yell in three paragraphs.
Levi and Jona walked side by side in front of the team, and the windbreaker made by the tailor fox was of guaranteed quality. Even so, he still felt that his body was floating in the [-]-degree air, and he didn't lift his head when he heard Helena's complaint: " It should be noisy, but it is obviously a water elf who is so afraid of heat?"
Helena's weak voice came again: "I'm really dying."
Levi had no choice but to turn back, ready to comfort her a few words, but was frightened when he turned around.
All I saw was that Helena lost her original shape, swaying like melted jellybean, her facial features were all distorted.This has become a scene that can only be seen in horror movies. If it weren't for the companion Levi who acted together, he would have slashed past with a sword.
"Helena, do you have to make yourself into such a disgusting look?" Even Tio felt disgusted and took a few steps away from Helena.
"It's so hot that it melts, can't you have some sympathy!" One part of Helena's appearance is from the heart, and the other nine parts are completely fake, thanks to the relaxed atmosphere in her team.
"Actually, I suggest that you don't give her face. If you find it annoying, just call her directly. Don't worry, the water elf will not die easily." Helvair added directly to the side.
But the others didn't listen seriously at all, just kidding, no matter how stupid Helena is... she is still an elf!Higher life form!If it is placed in a remote tribe, it will be enshrined as a water god, how can it be easily offended?At least a few demihumans still have a sense of awe towards Helena.
Only Lami Ailu and Huayang nodded, expressing that they would follow suit.
Levins couldn't help but leaned over and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "By the way...Master Water Elf, can you please give me a little blessing or something to lower the temperature?"
When Helena heard that someone needed her help, she immediately regained her spirits: "Come on, stretch your head over here, and I will bless you."
For some reason, Levins suddenly felt that the weather wasn't so hot anymore, so he decided to cool down with his unskilled freezing air magic.In this hot weather, turning on the air conditioner consumes electricity, and using magic power for 24 hours is a bit extravagant. If you go out, you can save as much as you can.
Levi wanted to ask Tio to help him act as a central air conditioner, but the demi-humans were so strong that Levi was embarrassed to speak up and shared the joys and sorrows with everyone.
But if I really want to say that I am most worried, it is probably Huayang. The tail looks really warm, but here is the desert, so a big fluffy tail, I always feel that Huayang is about to explode.
"Hot?" Hearing someone ask about this matter, Hua Yang said he didn't care, instead he opened the nine tails, "Actually, I have been adjusting the body's heat, and the nine tails can effectively dissipate heat. My current body temperature is higher than you imagined. Much lower."
"And this kind of operation!?"
Everyone couldn't help but take a look at the screen-like tail. Several people with tails looked behind them one after another, sighing unavoidably. Even Lami Ailu couldn't help but hold her own demon tail, wondering if it could be developed. produce similar functions.
By the way, Huayang and Auld are responsible for the physical strength of the entire team, and they carry more than half of the entire team's salute on their backs.As for Tio, this guy paddled and said that he would go home to get anything he needed, so he didn't carry anything on his back.This guy immediately made everyone feel like an idiot after trekking across mountains and rivers to come here.
"Wait, there's a smell of blood ahead." Yumina on the flank of the team said suddenly.
As if to confirm her words, Sylph immediately dropped from the sky and pointed behind the sand dunes in front of her: "You are right, there is a caravan in that direction, about 40 people in size, and no one survived the massacre. As for The murderer is undoubtedly a demon, and the corpses of some inferior demons are scattered around the scene."
Everyone walked up the sand dunes and looked into the distance from a high place, and they saw a messy battlefield, as if it was raining red from the sky, the ground was completely stained red with blood, and fragments of corpses were scattered everywhere.
"Lamiailu, look at the good things your relatives have done."
"The ghost of relatives! Next time you dare to say that, I will break up with you!"
Lamy Elle rolled her eyes, then looked at the tragedy ahead, and sighed again.
"Not to mention that succubi and demons have no blood relationship. Even if they also originated from the demon world, so many years have passed, and the succubus living in this world has long been changed. At least I have lived in the human world since I was sensible. My father has always been human. Educate me, and later even the pit where he was buried was dug by me."
"Ah... this is really..."
"It's nothing, it's just life, old age, sickness and death, it's normal. Maybe we are really similar to demons, and we don't understand the feeling of sadness at all."
Levi shook his head, threw away the extra emotions, and began to worry.
"Since the devil will appear nearby, is it possible that Fufa is not far away?"
"No, I know a little about Fufa, the demon god. She never hides her aura. Wherever she goes, there are clouds and thunder. If she is nearby, we can easily see it. The demons that appear here should be It’s just scout troops. How about this, you continue to act according to the original plan, and I will eliminate the demon scouts.”
"Then please."
As Silf left again, Levi and others also accelerated their actions, and soon the first relic building known to Jona appeared in everyone's sight.The team hid in the shadow of the ruins. After a short rest, everyone began to disperse their investigations, while Levi and Helwell did not rest for a moment.
Tio followed and knocked around. In her impression, the ruins seemed to be full of traps, and then found hidden secret doors or something, but Tio quickly lost patience and shouted to Levi from a distance: " Levi Levi, do you want me to dig a hole down to see?"
Levi was worried about alarming the devil: "I agree with digging holes, but is there a gentler way?"
Tio pondered for a moment, and suddenly the magic power condensed in his hand, turning into a shining sword shape, and dug a hole on the spot.This ruins is covered by sand, but there seems to be a layer of rock plate under the sand, but in front of Tio, the rock plate is no different from tofu. down a hole.
"Is there really a Mechanicus here?"
"Whether the legend is reliable or not, we will only know when the authenticity is verified."
"That's right. Speaking of which, I have always been curious. It stands to reason that the lives of ancient people should be very backward, but from the exploration of some ruins, how do we look like primitive people compared to ancient technology? Take a closer look. I think, whether it’s magicians or dwarves, elves, kin of the night, creatures of the devil world, etc., everyone seems to be keen on ancient technology.”
"How to explain this..." Levi was speechless after hearing this. He couldn't empathize with this matter and didn't understand it. He couldn't just say that the current people are digging his family's grave, right?Well, the tomb of civilization... In short, let's consider the remains of prehistoric civilization first.
To be precise, the ruins on the surface of this desert are related to the Mechanicus, and Levi just speculates that clues to prehistoric civilization can be found here.After all, mature technology and culture cannot appear out of thin air, and the Mechanicus must have obtained something.
It is a pity that after countless years of washing, the relic building can no longer analyze its original appearance from the outside, but Levi directly cut part of the building structure and found the pipe structure hidden in the wall.
"No, here, there are only stones except stones, and there is no investigation value."
"Well, let's rest first, spend the night here tonight, and continue to set off tomorrow morning."
"Oh~"
During the break, Levi found Jonah again and asked about the situation in the desert.
"Continue to go deeper, will there be more ruins?"
"Yes! This is the outlying area. Ruins have appeared one after another almost from here. This is already within the scope of the cursed land."
"What else do you know about the Cursed Lands?"
Under Levi's questioning, Jonah thought for a while.
"When I was young, the old man in my family used to search for treasures in it. Occasionally, he would find something strange. Then he would sell it to magicians, and someone would buy it. Well, but it wasn't like that when I was growing up. It’s a good thing that the sky is falling, it seems that all the peripheral things have been taken away, and people who go deep rarely come back, and there are gradually rumors of being cursed.”
"Can you confirm that all the missing people are dead?"
"Even the dragon is no exception. It disappeared in the desert, and there is no other possibility except death. Those people can't live by eating sand, right?"
Originally, this explanation was reasonable, but Levi always felt that things were not that simple, so he turned his eyes to the distance again, hoping to find something from the vast desert.
Dragon 002 Desert Lost City
As time passed, the situation surrounding this desert became complicated. First, the theocracy formed an expeditionary force to launch a crusade against Fufa. The surrounding countries responded and expressed their support. However, several nobles who had already prepared for it immediately assembled their troops. , Gathering in the desert, the Holy Court Knights who first drove to the desert began to fight against a small group of demons. So far, they wanted to go deep into the desert but were helpless because of the difficulty of the supply line. For the time being, they could only station at the edge and send scouting troops into the desert. There was a skirmish, and it was relatively uneventful.
I found nothing in the first few days of exploring the ruins. The age has made all the clues eroded by the years. If you just stay on the surface, you can't find anything. You can only go deeper.Walking into the depths of the desert, as Jonah said, there are more and more relic buildings. These buildings have no mysterious ancient style, nor are they temples or palaces. They are all square buildings built under precise measurements. It is done, but in Levi's eyes these buildings are mixed with other styles.
There are no notable clues in the peripheral ruins at all, and Levi and others are advancing very fast, gradually deepening into the desert.Since then, Sylph has frequently returned to the team, telling her that there are demons ahead. Now she encounters demons more than once or twice. Almost every hour, she can see several demons flying in the sky, and they are also looking for something in the desert.
Levi walked on the sand, and he felt uncomfortable after arriving here. It was inevitable to guess whether the rumors of the cursed land were true, so he asked Tio three times and got the same answer three times. It seemed that he was overwhelmed.It may be that I stayed in the desert for too long, and finally encountered a sandstorm unfortunately.
"Sand...sand...sand everywhere..." Helena walked at the back of the line, and she looked like a shrunken doll, a circle smaller than when she just entered the desert.
When Levi discovered this situation, he was still worried, but during the rest, he found Helena playing with his body. She looked like a human being, but she could squeeze her body into various shapes, and her essence was water.
So Levi decided to keep silent, even if her head was flooded, it was true.
After walking slowly for a while, Helena regained her spirits and asked everyone, "Can you find diamonds in the desert!?"
"Diamonds may not be available, but you can use local materials to burn glass. Do you want it?"
"How much is that worth! Hmm...but it's a different story if Helwell can help. Let's do something casually, give a blessing, and then say that this is a treasure forged by the elves. If you sell it, you will definitely be able to do it." earn a lot of money."
"This is a scam. Don't act with impure motives as soon as you start it."
"How can you say that, I have put blessings in place, just add anything, at least 'I have received the blessing of the elves' is a fact."
"Please be responsible to your customers."
However, Tio's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this method, he seriously thought about the feasibility of this matter, and nodded heavily.
"It seems like a good way to make money."
"Selling silver scale breastplates is more realistic than this." Levi looked back and saw that it was Tio, and immediately said, "Compared to the blessing of the elves, the blessing of the dragon is more reliable, and it sounds more imposing. Sell for a good price."
Based on Levi's understanding of Tio, this dragon is passionate about most things for 3 minutes, even if it is gold coins, after earning it, it is just a matter of throwing it under the bed.
"Look quickly, what is that?" Finally, with the sharp eyes of the archer, Hill found something in an inadvertent lookout.
Following the direction she indicated, passing through the wind and sand, everyone saw a scene that they had never imagined.
I don't know when a black city wall appeared in front of it, it may be blocked by wind and sand, and when it was discovered, it had already come quite close.After walking in, I found that it was built with metal as the skeleton, filled with cement and covered with ceramics. The city wall itself was dilapidated, collapsing almost every 100 meters, and the surface became potholed under some kind of attack.
Everyone stared blankly at these traces. The feeling at this moment was hard to describe in words. It was hard to imagine under what circumstances it was necessary to build such a majestic metal city wall, and what happened to make it look so dilapidated. Everyone present was tied together... Wait, let's leave Tiou first, and then count.The combined strength of everyone is not enough to shake a surface of [-] square meters.
Helwell said: "It is said that it was punished by God to become like this."
Helena looked up at the sky: "The power of God is inconceivable. It is simply unreasonable for God to punish a country that lasted for a hundred years or even a thousand years. If you say that they are idle all day and have nothing to do, just see if the next one is not pleasing to the eye. God's punishment? Why don't you take care of the environmental pollution when you have this spare time?"
Levi thought he heard an incredible word: "Environmental pollution?"
Helena continued to nod: "Countries with magic technology as their core extract magic power from nature to supply magic equipment, so many places become depleted of magic power. The specific manifestation is that the land loses vitality, plants cannot survive, and food will wither. Even the water sources will dry up. Ah, the end result will probably be the same as this desert."
However, the desert under the feet is not degraded by excessive magic power extraction. Even a magician can feel the sticky and thick magic power here, as if someone has used magic power to cover his face.
Yumina stared at the big pits leading to the back of the city wall, her expression was obviously eager to try: "Everyone, I think we should act as soon as possible, don't you want to know what's inside?"
Obviously, the catwoman's curiosity is at work, and everyone has no opinion on this matter.Whether it's for the ruins or purely adventurous spirit, with such a secret place in front of you, it would be a pity not to go in and find out.
"Tio, finally confirm the coordinates of your teleportation magic, and then let's find a place to go in."
"Don't worry, everyone's safety will be guaranteed by me."
"Where's Sylph?"
