Chapter 151: Lost Homeland
Standing on the back of the magic dragon elephant, looking at the "elephant saddle" made of unknown leather under his feet, his expression was full of incredible shock.
Before, due to the high size of the magic dragon elephant, he could not see the back of the magic dragon elephant at all. Now, taking advantage of the other party's sleep, he climbed up and found that it was really as he thought, the magic dragon elephant was tamed and had a master.
This is hard to believe, after all, the magic dragon elephant is a general-level alien creature, even the shadow of the crawling can only choose to retreat.
But such an existence actually has a master?
"Speaking of which, Aiden City is a bit strange? Why is it so quiet?"
At this time, Xu Nian came back to his senses from the shock of the magic dragon elephant "having a master", and looked into the distance. On the dim land, a huge castle full of medieval style appeared in front of him.
The city wall was quiet, there were no torches to illuminate the darkness, and there were no patrolling soldiers walking around. Everything was quiet and a little scary.
Especially the place that seemed to be the gate. Through the tall iron bars, he vaguely saw the large crossbows on the high platform inside, but strangely, there was no one responsible for operating the crossbows.
Something is wrong!
Xu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the situation in Aiden City was very strange at the moment. It was not like the "City in the Center of the Wilderness" or "The Gathering Place of Undead and Hunters" mentioned in the information. Instead, it looked like an ancient castle that had been abandoned for a long time.
When Xu Nian thought of this, he looked at the giant dragon elephant under his feet, and his mind was even more uncertain.
In this case, a dragon elephant suspected of being a "mount" was deposited on the outskirts of Aiden City. Could it be that the mysterious owner of this dragon elephant caused the current changes in Aiden City?
Thinking of the Black Rose Legion that he had not encountered along the way, his heart kept sinking, and a bad premonition came to him.
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. After carefully getting off the dragon elephant, he moved away from the dragon elephant and the city of Aiden, and walked towards a dangerous area marked on the map called "Lost Homeland".
It was the "dangerous area" marked on the map. It was not recommended for pioneers within the city wall to enter because it was once a battlefield with some dead spirits wandering around. These spirits became very scary under the influence of the huge death energy and completely ignored physical attacks.
The reason why he chose to go there at this time was because he instinctively realized that Aiden City might be dangerous, and wanted to put his old stone tablet in a safe place first, so that even if he died unfortunately, he could be resurrected in a safe place.
Just like choosing a safe resurrection point in the game, this was an important task for him to come out this time.
And this "Lost Homeland" near Aiden City was the hiding place he had chosen long ago.
First of all, although his ability has a great impact on matter after being advanced, its greatest power still acts on the spiritual body or soul of living beings. In other words, the "spiritual" biological area of the Lost Homeland may be dangerous for others, but it is an excellent place for him.
Whether it is the nearby Aiden City or the nearby Dragon Elephant, they have almost become natural barriers for the Lost Homeland. Don't you see that he has not encountered even a dangerous undead or hunter until now?
Speaking of the undead, he inexplicably thought of Peng Zizhen, the leader of the Red Rose, who had fought before, and couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. He always felt that the other party's affairs were not as simple as imagined.
In his thoughts, he had seen the iconic huge stone tablet of the Lost Homeland from a distance. The origin of the stone tablet is unknown. It is about nine meters long and engraved with hieroglyphs that he can't understand.
But the courtyard has actually successfully deciphered this text, which is roughly as follows--
[The king's heart is in the light, walking in the dark.
Planting Manzhu with sand flowers, you and death shine together, like a bright lamp in the dark night, shining forever in the netherworld.
I have heard your name, and I have also seen your face from afar.
Where your eyes are focused, time and space and fate rotate, and the sky and the earth rise and fall.
The wailing of the world will never stop.
Time passes,
The sleeping world still has your scars.
No one understands your heart, so you exile yourself.
The world cannot understand your love, nor can it warm your soul.
That is the ignorance of the world and cannot be saved.
Day after day,
Year after year,
My heart is like a knife, and I am in pain.
Your loneliness is my pain.
The foolish hatred will make my heart fall into darkness forever.
Looking back briefly,
Time cannot erase it,
I remember it in my heart,
May the world and the earth burn and all things perish, as the last song of you and me. 】
No one knows who wrote the stele, but according to the experts in the hospital, it has existed for at least 10,000 years.
This is simply terrifying.
Because before the disaster, no one had ever seen this thing, but when the disaster came, I don’t know if it was because the battlefield was very dead, this stele seemed to have existed for a long time.
Xu Nian was confused about the words on the stele, but he was very surprised by the words "Plant Manjusaka with Shahua" written on it, and even had an indescribable panic.
Because the red flower mark on his hand is also called Manjusaka.
From the name, Manjusaka is the flower of death from hell. In Buddhist scriptures, it is the transliteration of the Sanskrit "Maha Manjusaka" in the Lotus Sutra, and in Greek mythology, it is the name of the Greek goddess of the sea.
If you just listen to this name, it feels like a folk story at most, but the flower of hell with the mark of "Manjusaka" inexplicably appeared on his body, and there was the strange text on the strange stone tablet in front of him, it was impossible for him not to panic.
He walked to the stone tablet, touched the stone tablet with complicated eyes, and a touch like ten thousand years of ice swept through his mind.
He shuddered, almost subconsciously let go of his hand, and then his eyes became more complicated.
At this time, a cold wind blew over slightly, and his mind was shocked. He looked over following the sound of the wind, but it was a spirit knight in full armor, holding a shield and an ancient sword, riding a spirit horse from a distance and walking slowly.
The cold wind was the energy whirlwind sprayed by the spirit horse under the crotch of the spirit knight.
"Wandering Knight!"
Xu Nian's mind was shocked, and he no longer paid attention to the stone tablet in front of him. Instead, he entered the state of liberation with a thought.
The same armor and sword, the only difference is that he has no mount.
Muttering in his heart, he exerted force with his feet and rushed up in an instant.
It is useless to block the breath here, and the same is true for the two bottles of ambergris left on his body. For these spirits, what they sense is not the breath of living beings, but the spiritual fluctuations of living beings. He cannot hide this point, so he can only choose to face it head-on.
