Chapter 330: Lanqi Suddenly Confronts Bishop of Silence

Bandera City, a city where grandeur and history dance together, is surrounded by frozen land and snow-capped mountains.

Whether in the morning or afternoon, there is only the thin light of the snowy area, which covers the cold and hard dark gray stone with a faint silver-white color. The ruggedness and scratches are all traces of time. The story of the holy war that has continued to this day seems to be awakened and begins to whisper in the wind.

"..."

Lanqi and Sid heard the drums and orchestral war songs that became clearer and clearer in their ears, passing through the layers of Bandera City's barriers.

The city gate was heavily guarded. After verifying Lanqi and Sid's identities, the silent imperial officer still let them enter Bandera City.

When the two walked out of the suspended corridor of the city gate.

Stepping into the upper level of the city-state.

The military guards and officers behind them seemed to still stare at them with their eyes.

"Are these imperial soldiers abnormal?"

Lanqi looked at the towering towers in the distance of Bandera City and asked Sid beside him softly.

The appearance of the city-state was strongly influenced by the ancient Helrom architectural style. Towering spires, exquisite stained glass windows and complex stone carvings are everywhere. The city walls are solid and heavy, and there is a tower or arrow tower at every distance.

The streets are wide and winding, and the buildings on both sides are built very high, as if competing for the limited sunlight.

"No."

Sid's voice was flat.

Despite this, she did feel that the atmosphere of this city-state was wrong.

The two walked along the road for a long time, and no residents were seen yet.

However, their location was in the upper layer of the city-state with different heights. If you look carefully to the side of the street you are walking on, you will find that the road is actually a wide suspension bridge, and you can see the lower layer of the city-state from the side.

The snowflakes in the sky floated down with the wind, passing by the suspension bridge, and fell into the lower layer of Bandera City after floating for a long time.

Standing on the upper layer, looking at the lower layer with a height difference of 60 to 70 meters, it is like looking down at the earth from the clouds. Finally, you can see a small market and shops. Residents walk by from time to time. From food to magic devices, you can find them there.

Lanqi put on a pendant, which was not made of gems, but a small magic device that could record the images he saw.

Its principle was similar to the Shadow World Recording Program of the Southern Continent, except that this magic device had higher encryption. It would not only save images, but also record the details of the surrounding environment and magic fluctuations.

"We may have to go to the lower level to have a look."

Lanqi could only see the heavily armored imperial army patrols and the robed clerics of the branch of annihilation on the dark gray streets paved with stones. They seemed to have no problems, or in other words, there was no problem with them.

If something happened to this city-state, the best evidence might be on the residents.

The path to the lower level might require walking a distance into the city to see the stairs, and if you want to jump directly down, you need extremely strong physical fitness or flying magic.

However.

Before Lanqi's consciousness was aware of the subtle changes around him, a slender and powerful hand tightly locked his upper arm. The huge force that could easily crush his bones was still controlled very delicately by Sigrid, so he didn't get hurt.

Lanqi tried to speak, but his words were instantly swallowed up by the strong cold airflow. The oppressive feeling from the air made him sure that he was once again brought to the sky by Sigrid.

But this time, the target was not the depths of the city-state as Lanqi said.

Instead, Cid took the initiative to run out of the city-state.

Although Lanqi was surprised, he did not question Cid's judgment.

"There are no living people in this city-state except the priests of annihilation."

Cid's cold warning voice floated in his ears.

Even the imperial troops at the city gate before were probably disguised by the elite of the annihilation branch.

"......!"

In the sky, Lanqi's emerald eyes finally saw the full picture of Bandera City in the clouds.

Only the entrance where they were was peaceful, and the depths of the city-state were already shrouded in an ominous darkness.

Everything in the center of the city-state blocked by the illusion was turbid, but even without looking, one could feel that it was like a solar eclipse magic world with corpses and undead gathered everywhere.

In the collapsed buildings under the black fog, dried limbs and broken arms were scattered. Whether they were old people, women, or children, their corpses were piled up. The entire border city had become a place for a death feast after the sacrifice. Under the pale sunlight, the suffocating absurdity and psychedelic feeling enveloped the entire Bandera city.

Time seemed to be stretched, the wind became more harsh, and Lanqi's vision was blurred by the cold wind. Only Sid's hand still held him tightly, taking him to the border of the city-state quickly.

Lanqi didn't say much. Without communication, he knew that he had to leave quickly.

Even though he had not yet gone deep into the center of the city-state mutation to get decisive evidence.

But this is the change in the northern border confirmed by Ba Jiaojiao himself. Once she informs the upper echelons of the empire, coupled with the high probability that Major General Fan Leiku is missing, the imperial capital will surely cause violent turmoil.

And the sin that has been committed in the north cannot be buried and will be dug up.

Just as Lanqi thought so, he was immediately covered by a distorted transparent barrier!

Sigrid's speed suddenly slowed down and stopped in mid-air.

She turned her eyes warily and glimpsed a figure that suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

"How about it, you two, what do you think of this beautiful scenery?"

A voice full of laughter surrounded the sky above the city-state.

Lanqi also followed this discordant rhythm and looked back.

The dark clouds of lead gray in the sky rolled, and Bandera City was immersed in a dead silence. From time to time, lightning surged between the winter clouds, reflecting the huge buildings in the clouds and mist in white.

Standing on the top stand of the towering spire building in Bandera City, a tall man in a dark gray coat was watching them.

His skin was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood.

Apart from the suffocating magic power that he exuded lightly, when he sealed the space around the two people, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to stagnate at this moment, and the surroundings exuded a deep light, becoming thousands of dark stars dancing in it, like a magical living body that did not exist in space but could hit the eyes and attack the mind directly.

If ordinary people with weak mental power face this soul-struck halo for the first time, they may feel that they have established an indescribable connection with this world, and experience a long journey beyond the body and time in an instant.

In the end, they are completely dazed, kneel on the ground, and even burst into tears.

The swirling text does not belong to any known era, and only those who have seen the ruins of the Age of Gods know its meaning.

This is the aura that will be emitted when the [Original Slate] is blessed.

And this slate that can be blessed with sealing magic has already explained the identity of its owner.

As if sensing Lanqi's gaze, the man turned to look at Lanqi.

Those dark gray eyes are like the abyss, which can make people indulge in it and gradually lose their souls.

Asksan smiled and looked at the two of them.

When he stood there, the invisible terror emanating from his body only made living beings feel humble and helpless, and when he moved, all the sense of stability would collapse because of him.
