Chapter 1216 Abandoned City

The barren and barren mountains are covered with a complex of buildings made of black lava.

The monotonous colors and the surrounding bare mountains gave this building complex an air of death.

Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can see that this is definitely an abandoned building.

There were collapsed and broken stones everywhere, the mottled walls were covered with cracked lines, and all the painted buildings were obscured by the drifting volcanic ash.

The gondola lingered in the sky for a moment, and after confirming that no danger was detected, Angel and others jumped down.

The building complex is built from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. If compared with the city of the Golden Bird Empire, this building area is estimated to be the size of an ordinary town.

After a close encounter, just as they had seen before, it was dilapidated, vicissitudes of life, and dead.

Because the fire element in the air was very active, the young fire demon Grewu quickly covered most of this area with the help of these jumping flames.

"There are no signs of life, but there are many skeletons." Grewu said as he led Angel to a long winding street leading to the top of the mountain.

This street covered with volcanic ash is littered with skeletons, with different postures and different ways of death. Some died with their heads grabbing the ground, some had their skulls collapsed, some had their bones separated...

A skeleton near Angel, even the entire back, was in a state of shattering, as if it had fallen from the sky and been broken.

"The time of death is not the same. This one died at least five hundred years ago, but this one may be only about two hundred years." Popota pointed at the two skeletons in front of him that seemed to be close together. If Without dating, it was even thought that they were close friends who died at the same time.

"They are basically the aborigines of the abyss, and only a very small part are demons... No, the bones of half-blood demons." Grewu also added.

Because Angel didn't know enough about the abyss, he didn't see many superficial clues.

But as a traditional aristocrat, appreciation of art is compulsory, and architectural art is also a knowledge. The architectural style here is obviously different from the architecture of Castlevania. It is full of arcs and reliefs. These reliefs rarely involve religious significance and are basically decorative patterns of life.

In terms of sophistication, although it is not as good as human countries, it is far more detailed than Castlevania!

Moreover, the buildings here are very small, and the doors are similar to those of ordinary humans.

Therefore, various signs can indicate that before it was abandoned, this place was probably the town of the aboriginal people of the abyss.

"If this is a place where aborigines of the abyss live, why are the bones here so strange? Not to mention the different ways of death, and the time of death are also different... It seems that they died from other places, and then were It’s the same as moving here.”

Because these skeletons have been dead for so long, many clues have been wiped out. It is difficult to determine whether this is the first scene of death.

"Have you found any information records about this place?" Angel asked.

Grave said: "There are some carvings that say this place is called Manotan. However, I have never heard of this name. As for other clues, there are no other clues."

"It seems that even if an artificial structure is discovered, there is still nothing gained." Popota sighed. How could he leave if he could not determine the location?

Angel thought for a moment: "It's not that there is no gain at all. At least it is certain that this place should have been the area of ​​the aboriginal people of the abyss."

After a pause, Angel looked at Grave and asked, "I remember reading in a book before that the aborigines of the abyss basically live on the surface of the abyss?"

Grewu nodded: "Yes, there are some powerful aboriginal people. They occasionally appear in the inner layer, but I have never heard of building an aboriginal settlement in the inner layer... Moreover, according to According to the records of the Ningyuan Treaty, the residence of the aboriginal people is basically limited to the surface of the abyss, or even the most superficial area.”

"Treaty of Ning Yuan?"

"The main content of the treaty drafted by the Ning Abyss Demonic Eye is the offensive and defensive restrictions between demons and aboriginal people in the abyss. However, few demons will abide by it..." Grewu explained.

"It's the Ning Yuan Demonic Eye again, he is quite free." The one who spoke was Bobota, because the Lord of the Profound wanted to seize the power of the Ning Yuan Demonic Eye. Regarding some of the deeds of the Ning Yuan Demonic Eye, Bobota was quite concerned about it. Understand something.

Grewu rolled his eyes at Bobota and looked at Angel: "Shopkeeper, you asked about the gathering place of the aboriginal people, do you mean that this should be the surface of the abyss?"

Angel nodded.

"This is very possible, but I know very little about the surface of the abyss. Lord Orusia may know something, but it has not awakened yet."

"It's okay, just keep walking. Maybe we'll find something later."

Since he didn't get many clues here, Angel didn't continue to wander, but drove the gondola and continued heading southeast.

Perhaps it was because we had entered a "formerly civilized area". During the rest of the journey, we did not encounter volcanoes or lava, but were basically rolling mountains, or endless wilderness.

"I always feel a little strange about the skeletons in that town. Would it be too troublesome if outsiders moved them there? If outsiders didn't move them, could it be that they appeared there on their own?" Popota wondered. road.

Bobota’s doubts are destined to be answered by no one.

Time passed, and half an hour later, they saw a second town built around the hill.

However, just like the first encounter with Manotan, this small town called Xiuitan is also abandoned and filled with a large number of skeletons.

As for other clues, there are still none.

Then they encountered several abandoned aboriginal settlements, but they were basically the same as before, the only difference was the type of skeletons.

Among them, what surprised them most was that they saw human skeletons.

And there were more than one.

Judging from the bones, these human skeletons may not have been very powerful when they were alive. Most of the bones do not contain energy properties, which means that they are probably middle and low-level apprentices when they were alive. Of course, they may also be mortals, but the probability of mortals appearing in the abyss is extremely small.

From this, we can also judge one thing, this is definitely somewhere on the surface of the abyss.

Because middle and low-level apprentices cannot go to the inner layer, and even rarely go to the second layer of the abyss. Basically, they are all mixed in the outermost layer of the abyss.

That is to say, this may be a subsidiary space somewhere on the outermost layer of the abyss, or the void continent?

While Angel was guessing, they saw another abandoned city.

Perhaps it was the curiosity of the naughty child that made Greywood the most active in exploring. Angel had already given up hope for these cities. Anyway, even if he found the name of the city, he didn't know where it was exactly.

However, this time Greywood brought a surprise.

A skeleton wearing a tattered wizard robe lay in front of Angel.

This was what Greywood found in the city called "Jistan".

"There are some human bones inside, but this skeleton has a signature emblem. I thought you might recognize it, so I brought it out." Greywood pointed to one side of the wizard robe, where there was a very unique emblem.

A golden witch flower.

The witch flower is a kind of alchemical magic material. It looks like a rose, and the color is indeed black and red. It looks like a charming witch. The potions and fragrances based on it basically have the effect of correcting the skin. Some potions to maintain beauty require witch flowers, because they are sought after by witches, and most of the people who use witch flowers are women, so they are called "witch" flowers.

Angel knew about witch flowers. But he had never heard of an organization that used golden witch flowers as its emblem.

Angel looked at Bopota, who had been in the wizarding world for a much longer time than him, and maybe he had discovered something.

Bopota looked at the emblem for a long time, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have seen this emblem somewhere. It seems to be the mark of a wizard organization... However, it doesn't seem to be from the Southern Territory Wizarding World."

"Not a wizard organization in the Southern Territory Wizarding World?" Angel looked at Bopota: "Are you sure?"

Bopota shook his head, "I just have an impression, but I can't be sure."

Angel frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Greywood: "Are there any abyss natives in other phase planes?"

Greywood nodded: "Yes, but like the Barren Surface, according to the Treaty of Condensation, these natives basically live on the surface of the abyss."

Angel rubbed his eyebrows: "If there are natives in other phase planes, then we can't be in other phase planes, right?"

Bopota didn't know what the so-called phase plane was, and looked at Angel with a puzzled look.

Angel briefly explained the structure of the abyss, and then looked at Greywood, hoping to get an answer from this demon noble.

Greywood hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It shouldn't be. If you want to go to other phase planes, there is basically only one way, the phase gate. And the phase gates are all guarded by demon lords, so they should still be in the barren plane."

If he didn't go to other phase planes, then could the skeleton in front of him come from other phase planes?

But how did he get here through the phase plane?

Angel didn't figure it out in the end, so he could only continue on the road with doubts.

This time, they flew for nearly an hour before they saw new buildings again. Greywood was as excited to explore as before, while Angel frowned and looked at this town in the wasteland.

This was not the largest building complex they encountered, but it gave Angel a strange feeling of strangeness.

"What's wrong with you?" Bopota looked at Angel in confusion.

Angel looked at the edge of the wasteland in the rain: "I just feel that the call seems to be getting closer and closer... Maybe it's in this wasteland."

...

"Shopkeeper! I found two bodies!"

When Angel was silently feeling the "call", Greywood's voice suddenly came.

At first Angel didn't take it seriously, but soon, Greywood's second voice came: "It's a fresh body! And it's human!"

Hearing this, Angel and Bopota looked at each other and flew off the boat without hesitation.
