Chapter 40 See the Light of Day Again

Lightning was flying in the sky, and the place where Dragon King and I were standing was obviously a dangerous area. Dragon King was not stupid enough to turn around and run away, but for some reason he fell to the ground and threw me so hard! When I got up, I discovered that it was not only the Dragon King who was carrying us that fell, but all the dragons fell to the ground.

A huge silver dragon ran over and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the magic field around us is in chaos. We can't fly like this!"

Before the Dragon King could react, I summoned Xiaofeng in non-combat state and threw it into the sky. "Go up and see what's going on!"

The little phoenix the size of a parrot was thrown into the sky by me, stretched out its wings and transformed into a giant black phoenix, and then soared straight into the sky. Different from the giant dragon, the phoenix only relies on its own wings to fly like a bird. As long as there is air, she can fly. The giant dragon basically relies on the combination of magic power and wings to fly. It won’t be able to fly!

Xiaofeng spun around in the sky and then rushed down, transformed into a non-combat form and landed on my outstretched arm. "The Spirit Gathering Tower is gathering magic power, and the distribution of magic power in the air has been completely messed up. From now on, it's best not to use any magic, otherwise I don't know what will happen!"

The Dragon King immediately turned around and ordered: "No one can use magic now!"

"Yes!" The discipline of the dragons is still good.

The green light on the Juling Tower is constantly flashing and flashing faster and faster. Now the flashing is basically invisible on the entire tower (the stroboscopic flash is too fast to be seen)! The lightning was still strengthening and getting denser. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a carriage wheel hit the Juling Tower directly, and then the green light on the walls of the entire city suddenly began to shine brightly. Fortunately, the high-intensity light only lasted for a few seconds before dimming, but the Spirit Gathering Tower in the center became brighter and brighter.

Because we couldn't fly, Dragon King and I had to run with our legs. If I had known, we should have run farther ahead! A huge bolt of lightning appeared in the sky again and hit the top of the Juling Tower. This time, the Juling Tower did not absorb the lightning but suddenly split it into more than a dozen strands and flew out in all directions. An electric arc started from the base of the tower and swept towards us. The Dragon King swept me away with his tail with quick eyes and hands, and the lightning missed me by just a hair. Immediately after the second bolt of lightning arrived, I held Ling down close to the ground under me. The lightning passed by again, but the soil that flew up buried me! As soon as the lightning ended, we quickly got up and continued running. Now the entire Essinger is simply the center of the magnetic storm, and the frequency of lightning strikes exceeds a hundred times per second!

We finally ran out of the lightning strike range, and we were all so tired that we were almost vomiting blood. Although the distance was not very far, it was strange that we were not tired after being chased by lightning and sprinting all the way! Strangely enough, the lightning strikes over the city gradually slowed down after we left the lightning strike range. Could it be that they were deliberately planning to hit me?

Not long after we arrived at our current location, giant lightning appeared in the sky for the third time. From such a distance, we could see the huge electric pillar falling from the sky and hitting the Spirit Gathering Tower. As soon as the electric column ended, the Juling Tower began to react abnormally. The Juling Tower, which had completely turned into a light bulb, suddenly began to dim and began to flicker irregularly. To be honest, this picture looks very familiar. The ground station of the space-based laser at Longyuan headquarters seems to look like this when it emits! But that thing is like this because it needs to emit lasers and gather a large amount of electricity, causing partial power outages in the lighting equipment. But what exactly is this gathering tower going to do? The lightning just now was obviously gathering energy, and later the Spirit Gathering Tower turned into a big light bulb because of the lightning. But now it suddenly dims, indicating that the accumulated energy is used by something, but what thing uses such a large amount of energy again?

Just when we were wondering, suddenly, the body of the Juling Pagoda suddenly lit up, and a green light beam that was almost as thick as the Juling Pagoda shot straight into the sky from the top of the tower! At the same time, a green halo on the top of the tower gradually spread, and all the dark clouds where the halo passed were dispersed. This time we saw that the light beam emitting from the Juling Pagoda was emitting directly towards the moon. 'of. The halo passed over our heads at a very high speed, and several smaller dragons were thrown over. I was protected by the Dragon King and still felt the strong power behind me. After the halo passed through us, it approached the forest behind us. As soon as the edge of the halo touched the edge of the forest, it was like the blast of an atomic bomb, uprooting a tree several people thick. The ground was now filled with flying sand and rocks, and the scene was like the end of the world!

The huge beam of light emitted continuously for 30 seconds and suddenly stopped. Almost at the same time as the light beam stopped, the Juling Tower suddenly went out. Just like the power outage in a big city, the green light in the entire city suddenly disappeared in pieces, and the surrounding area quickly disappeared. Plunged into darkness.

"Is it over?" Dragon King asked.

"It seems not!" I looked at the moon in the sky: "That thing seems to be coming again!"

The Dragon King also noticed that the color of the moon had turned from silver to red. The red moon seemed to be dripping with blood. Suddenly, a beam of light was in the opposite direction to the original beam, and a red beam of light fell from the sky and shot directly. 'Enter the Juling Tower. The whole city suddenly lit up as if the power was restored, and the dark red light quickly dyed the entire city.

boom! The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, a deafening sound came from the ground. A dozen meters of earth wall suddenly exploded on the ground behind us, like a directional blast. The dust flying into the sky completely buried me in the ground again!

The vibrations under my feet became more and more severe. The place where the explosion had just occurred suddenly began to spray smoke. The ground began to rise while shaking. The circle where the explosion just occurred happened to be the dividing line, and the entire city began to slowly rise upwards. The crimson beam of the red moon in the sky has never ended. That beam may be the driving force for the city's rise.

The shaking of Didong Mountain lasted for about twenty minutes. The fractured area where the explosion occurred has turned into a cliff. To be precise, it is a city wall, but the inside of the city wall is filled with soil, so it looks like a cliff! Ling said something to me but I didn't hear it clearly. There was a loud noise just now, and my ears are still ringing in the ears! Ling lay next to my ear and shouted loudly: "The magic power has been restored!"

"Got it!" I replied loudly.

While the caves and mountains on our side are shaking, the seaside opposite Isinger is also turbulent. The sudden rise of Essinger set off a huge wave of nearly 100 meters in the sea. Almost all the seawater near the seabed was lifted up to the sky. When the water fell again, it had turned into a huge rainstorm. Of course, there were also A lot of fish fell off!

The red moon in the sky has been gradually fading since Essinger began to rise. Now the red moon has almost completely returned to its original silver color. Just after it completely turned white, the red beam suddenly stopped. The moment the beam stopped, the whole city shook violently. Then the city suddenly stopped rising and stabilized at this position. It seems that the energy consumption of the moon All done!

"Look at the Juling Tower!" Ling pointed at the Juling Tower and shouted.

I looked up and saw that dense red runes actually appeared on the side of the Juling Tower. These huge runes were not only dense but also emitted a strange red light, making the entire Juling Tower look so mysterious and mysterious. fear!

"Let's go and take a look at the top of the Juling Tower!" I led everyone back to the city center, and took the Dragon King, who had transformed into a human form, into the Juling Tower from the passage. The Holy Dragon's Fang that was originally stuck on the ground actually fell to the ground. The magic circle on the ground still emitted red light, but it was not very strong. A stone platform was raised on each of the original two caves, and the Star of Light and the Star of Darkness echoed each other on the stone platform.

I walked over and put the Star of Light and Star of Darkness into the Demon King crystal bottle, and Ling Ye helped me pick up the Holy Dragon's Fang. As soon as the three treasures left their positions, the entire magic circle immediately lost its luster, but this thing is the seal that controls the city's rise and fall, and it is no longer needed!

We arrived at the top of Juling Tower and finally saw the whole picture of Essinger (I hand-drawn a simplified diagram of Essinger's structure and layout. There is a link address at the bottom of the main character related page in the work related page. I don't understand Essinger's layout. Go and take a look and you will understand). A city wall once again appeared outside the original city wall. Although the city has been filled with soil, the general outline of the city wall can still be seen. The height of this outer wall is even more exaggerated than the outer wall I thought at the beginning. It is estimated that it will be taller than the outer wall. At more than 500 meters, the thickness of the city wall is more than two kilometers. Even if no one interferes, it will take more than half a month to dig through the city wall!

The front width of this city wall is approximately more than 87,000 meters. The oversized outline makes the entire city wall look like the Great Wall!

We came to the other side of the Juling Tower and took a closer look at the direction of the port. The changes on this side of the port are somewhat unexpected. The original port was actually part of an internal port. There is a huge rectangular artificial lake in the middle of the city, with a side length of about 18,000 meters. It is connected to the sea through a nearly 3,500-meter-wide river, which means that this artificial lake is actually a dock sunk into the city. This design can provide quite complete protection for ships, and there will be no tragic situation like the bloody storming of the port by the Japanese in Torrent City. City cannons will always be larger than naval cannons. After all, road-based weapons do not need to consider the size issue, and we The ammunition is also relatively sufficient. Last time, the losses in Hongliu City were not very serious. The battleships could not actually do anything to the port forts. However, it was because the port of Hongliu City was completely exposed that our warships were easily wiped out by Little Japan!

I saw that the channel leading from the port to the sea seemed to be inaccessible. There were three things blocking the channel. "Ling, what are those three obstacles? Why is the channel blocked?"

Ling looked at it and said: "This is how Essinger's navigation into the sea originally looked like. The two inside are gates. Their tops are wider and their height is very low. They basically serve as bridges. Ships pass by. Open them when there is no need to cross a ship or close the channel when you need to block it. However, they are mainly used as gates. There are teleportation arrays at a distance on both sides of the channel. There is no need for a bridge, that thing is just a backup channel! The city wall at the outermost entrance to the sea is actually movable. When it needs to be opened, the entire city wall can be sunk into the sea to open the passage. When it needs to be blocked, just raise the city wall!"

"There are also automatic ship locks!"

"Who said it's automatic? That thing needs 300 monsters to drive it! But it doesn't have to be shut down until wartime, so it's okay!"

"I'd better find a way to make a magic device!" It would be troublesome if such a big door couldn't be closed at the critical moment!

"That's okay! Doesn't the Lost City have automatic gates?"

"Lost? That's great!" Think about it, right? Didn't the bridge be lowered under the water during the last Lost War? It seems that I didn't notice that Lost Lost really has that thing!

After seeing the scale of the city, I started to feel depressed. The Dragon King patted me on the shoulder and said, "Your city is very good! It's almost catching up with my Dragon Island!"

"Is there any way you can find a lot of helpers?" I asked the Dragon King.

"helper?"

"Yes, a cleaning helper!"

"Cleaning?" Dragon King didn't notice what I meant.

I pointed in the direction of the port and said: "Isengard has been buried underground for hundreds of years. The side soaked in the water is covered with aquatic plants and corals. My guild only has several thousand people. It will probably take a long time to clean these things." Years! So we need help! Moreover, the city on the other side has been completely filled with soil. I have to clear a lot of earth, but I have too few people! I am too busy!"

When I said this, the Dragon King also noticed that Isengard's seaside side had been soaked in the water for so long. It would be strange that nothing grew. The other side was also completely covered with mud, not to mention that the city was also in ruins. It was really It requires a lot of labor! "We dragons are relatively solitary. We rarely interact with other races except our own, so I can't help you find helpers. But I can help you solve your problem!"

"any solution?"

"Have you ever heard of the dwarves?"

"certainly!"

"This race is very good at digging tunnels. You can ask them to help you clean up the soil on the west side of the city (the east side is the sea), and ask them to help you build houses and buildings. The construction technology of the dwarves is the best in the world! "

"But why are they helping me clear the ruins and build a city?"

"Because of this!" The Dragon King magically took out a ruby ​​as big as a human head. "I will fund you with some gems, and you take these gems to the Dwarf King. These guys are no less eager for gems than our dragons!"

"What about the other side?"

"Here you can go to the natural forest to find a solution."

"You mean that natural forest with a lot of elves?"

"Yes! There are various elemental creatures living there. You can lobby the water element and air element to join in helping you clean up the city. With their help, you don't have to worry about anything!"

"But……!"

The Dragon King interrupted me before I could finish my words: "Elemental people are kinder. If you say some kind words and give some small favors, they will come to help you. But be careful of the elves in the forest. Although they are also very kind, they are still kind. But it’s not hospitable at all!”

"Your Highness really has a strange point of view! This is the first time I heard that we should be careful with elves. In comparison, we dark creatures should be more dangerous, right?"

"Are dark creatures dangerous? Don't think so!" The Dragon King's point of view is indeed different! "Dark creatures only pursue interests. They never do things that are not beneficial to themselves. I can clearly know whether I am a target even when standing next to them. However, light creatures do not have this standard. Although they generally act according to certain There are regular rules, but abnormal situations still often occur, so I don’t like bright creatures very much! Of course, we have been fighting the light gods for so long, which is one of the reasons why I hate them!”

"Hahahaha! Your Highness is so happy!"

Because the Dragon King has to wait for tomorrow night, which is already early in the morning. To be precise, it should be tonight's date, so he can't leave. Although Essinger has not really become my city, I am basically half the master. Besides, I was the one who proposed the date, so I can’t leave the Dragon King here alone and can only be bored with him. nonsense!

Unknowingly, a bright line of red light appeared on the sea level in the east. I hugged Ling and sat on the edge of the Juling Pagoda, watching the birth sun rise slowly. The Dragon King had already fallen asleep on the side, and we were the only ones who were still awake. "The sun rises and sets every day, but not many people go to see it!" I don't know why there are so many sighs recently!

Ling suddenly took over my words and said: "Only what is lost is beautiful. The rising sun will rise again every day, so it is not beautiful. When the sun no longer rises, the sun will be the most beautiful." !”

"When did you learn so many things?" Recently I have discovered that Ling's intelligence level seems to be constantly improving, and his personality seems to be getting more and more prominent! Logically speaking, normal NPCs should not have clear personalities, such as Lucky and Xiaofeng. Although their personalities can be felt, they are all stiff and do not feel like real life forms. , but Ling is becoming more and more like a real person. In addition to Ling, I also discovered Adi Na and Ye Ying. Both of them have obvious personality trends. I don't know why my demon pets are so different!

"Oops! Stop asking!" Ling was playing catch-up with me, making it clear that he was deliberately hiding something! But I'm not going to ask her about her situation. Anyway, there haven't been any bad changes so far.

It's already dawn, and I don't have much time. Today I have to take Bai Yang and the others around the school! I didn't take back Ling when I went offline, and I also summoned Lucky and Plague, asking them to accompany the Dragon King on my behalf. Anyway, they are all in Isengard now, and there are hundreds of Dragon King's subordinates around them. As long as they are not from the Light God Clan, The NPC army is coming, and no one can enter the city!

After cleaning up my personal hygiene, I left the dormitory. Bai Yang and the others lived upstairs from me. I went up and called them to have breakfast together. As the ancients say, enemies often meet on a narrow road, right? I actually met that annoying Li Ting while eating, and even the league secretary who looked like he was worth 2,580,000 yuan was also there!

Lorraine, who was eating, looked up at me and then looked at the two people opposite. Then she continued to eat with her head down and whispered: "Those two are a couple, not spies!"

Couple? No wonder this guy ran over to me when Li Ting and I got angry yesterday, as if he wanted to fight with me! While I was staring at the two of them studying, Li Ting happened to look up and see me. The league secretary next to me noticed Li Ting's actions and looked up at me, so he glared at me with threatening eyes. Just stare! Do you think you have the evil eye on Lost City?

The whole morning was spent peacefully. I almost listened to the morning lectures as if I were being tortured. I could still sleep in the lectures that others didn’t like. But I couldn’t sleep. Sitting there all morning was killing me. ! After school was finally over, Lorraine quietly came up to me and said completely unrelated words with the expression and movements of a girl looking for someone to chat with. "Confirm that everyone in this class is normal and the spies are not in this class!"

The whole morning of sitting in meditation made me a little bad-tempered, and I spoke a little irritably: "I understand, take your people and leave quickly!"

Lorraine glanced at me in confusion, but it was only for a moment. Lorraine quickly returned to normal and walked out of the classroom with Luo Bing and Bai Yang. Playing "Zero" for so long, although it has cured my loneliness, some living habits have not changed. For example, I don't like to be crowded with others! The door to the classroom is the most crowded place when get out of class is over, and everyone is rushing out to get out for fear of being late and not being able to eat. Unless you are extremely rich, you will have to squeeze in a sea of ​​people in the university cafeteria!

I don’t have to worry about food anyway. If it really doesn’t work, I can just drive out to eat. No one is as good as me, right? Besides, I only have half a day of classes today, so I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so don’t worry! So I just sat in the teacher's room and waited for everyone to leave before I left. I was looking at the floor in a daze when I suddenly noticed a pair of feet appearing in my sight. I looked up at the feet and saw that it was the League Secretary again, how could he look like a fly! It’s so annoying!

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I'll wait for you at the No. 3 Indoor Stadium!" When this guy spoke, he really looked like the boss of the gangster in that old movie. He was quite impressive. But I am not a good citizen who is bullied by the underworld, and I will not accept it!

"Did I say I wanted to go?" I said slowly.

The Communist Youth League secretary who had turned around to leave turned back again. "What did you say?"

"I said I didn't necessarily want to go!"

"you……!"

"No, my god. If you ask me out, you must be sincere!"

"Hmph! If you dare not come and take a look this afternoon!" This guy is looking more and more like a gangster.

I thought about it at noon and decided to go see him. I wasn't afraid of him, but he would keep harassing me if I didn't go, so I decided to go and have a look!

When I arrived at the entrance of the stadium, I thought something had happened! The whole stadium was full of people, and most of them were girls! Relying on my strength, I finally squeezed into the gymnasium, and now I realized that there were more people inside than outside! Thank you for the spring. If so many people gather together in the summer, it would be so hot that they would die!

I was thinking sadly about where I should go to find him with so many people in the venue, when I suddenly saw a person named Li Ting! She is now standing on the platform in the middle of the training ground. Next to her is a man in a suit and tie, but that is not our league secretary. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find him, so I reluctantly walked to Li Ting: "Hello? Do you know where our great League Secretary has gone?"

When she saw me arriving, Li Ting's eyes actually shone with light. I knew it was because of excitement. I don't know why she was so excited to see me, but I know one thing, that is, her eyes definitely didn't shine because she missed me. To be honest, what I saw in her eyes was gloating.

A broadcast suddenly sounded in the noisy gymnasium: "Hey! Sound check! Dear students and teachers, good afternoon! This afternoon is our school's most famous college student free fighting champion, Yin Piu, who will compete with another student from our school. Classmate Shenlin performed a fighting performance! Let us all applaud them with warm applause!"

Wait, the number one free fighting champion wants to challenge Shen Lin, doesn’t that mean he has to challenge me? No wonder that high platform looks so familiar, it turns out to be a fighting platform! When did I agree to fight with him? At this time, I saw the crowd on the opposite side made a way, and our league secretary in sportswear ran over and jumped onto the ring. This guy killed me first and then told me that he wanted me to fight. As long as I refused, he would have no personality or dignity at all, and would only be considered a coward in the future. But if I fight, it will be exactly what he wants. He is the fighting champion of the China University Games and can defeat me effortlessly, at least that's what he thinks.

But the situation was not what he thought...
