Mystery: The Star Key

Chapter 32: twilight city

Following the exploration of the City of Silver, Igna's eyes gradually reflected a gorgeous but gloomy dusk.

The place where the twilight solidified and shrouded was a complex of buildings with countless palaces, towers, and majestic walls. They were magnificent and magnificent, like miracles only in myths and legends, and they stood still for a long time.

Led by chief Colin Iliad, the nine-member exploration team including Derrick Berg left the Afternoon Town camp, followed the steps paved with gray stones, among the tall and dark buildings, towards the peak go.

According to Michelle's introduction and previous knowledge, Igna knows that these team members are at least Sequence 6 Extraordinary, and most of them belong to the "Warrior" path. After seeing the main monster, he finally came to the area shrouded in dusk. He was shocked by the magnificent building with a strong sense of epic, and no one spoke for a while.

Igna was also shocked by the sight in front of him.

"This is the kingdom of the ancient gods."

And based on his previous experience of traveling in the dream, he knew very well that this might be the first time the exploration team saw "Twilight".

For the first time in 2,200 years, I saw "natural light" other than the eternal lightning and night.

Igna couldn't take his eyes off the magnificent building in front of him for a long time.

"lets go."

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, when everyone had made corresponding psychological preparations, Colin Iliad and "Shepherd" Cai Luovia led the members of the exploration team into the front of the twilight light.

The huge towering building stood quietly in the solidified dusk, and there was no sound around it, as if it was just an oil painting.

Before Igna had time to sense anything, he saw the extraordinary object held in Derrick Berg's hand, the patina on the surface fell off, revealing an entity composed of pure light.

The light emitted by this entity is no longer bright and clean, and it is stained with a bit of orange red that is unique to dusk.

Immediately afterwards, Igna felt that his state had fallen to the bottom, as if he was at the most exhausting moment of "day", ready to face the coming night.

Since this is Derrick's memory, Derrick's dream, Igna can feel all the states of Derrick Berg.

They seem to have come to dusk.

After entering the place shrouded in dusk, the entire exploration team, including the chief Colin Iliad and the "shepherd" elder Lovia, inevitably appeared in a state of exhaustion and decay, and it seemed that they had entered the end of their lives. As they moved forward, or wandering on the road, or rushing out of different buildings, there were more and more rotten giants, and they became stronger and stronger.

After one side was weakened and the other was strengthened, it became difficult to move forward. After several fierce battles, the Silver City exploration team finally broke through the "blockade" and "blockage" of those monsters, and came to an extremely quiet place without any sound. tingling areas of the scalp.

"Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad broke the silence and reminded: "This means that we have truly entered the 'Royal Court of Giants' and are about to approach the core part. The level of danger will only increase, not decrease."

After hearing this sentence, a small number of members of the exploration team were shaken due to the influence of "Twilight". In their view, although most of the previous stage, they did not dare to stay for fear of being surrounded by rotten giants, But in the end, after clearing all the monsters in a small place, you can rest and adjust for a while, and get a lot of Extraordinary characteristics, magical materials and potion formulas. It can be said that this exploration has already gained enough, and there is no need to continue In-depth, the most important thing to do now is to find a suitable building, build a forward camp, and prepare for the second exploration later.

Faced with such a proposal, Colin Iliad did not say much, but emphasized that the purpose of this exploration is to find out as much as possible about the general situation of the "Royal Court of Giants" and to accumulate enough information for various subsequent actions .

Then, he asked a team member named Antierna to "pacify" those who were shaken.

Since Lovia, the elder of the "Shepherd", also supported the chief, the few members of the exploration team quickly adjusted their mentality and followed the chief quietly.

After a while, they saw a huge stone staircase, which was off-white as a whole, but was dyed with orange light, which was both gorgeous and silent.

Each floor of this staircase is relatively high. Above the huge staircase is a city wall that is so majestic that you have to look up to see the city wall at the top. There are many traces of destruction and burning on it. Mi's arrows caused some of the stones to collapse.

In the middle of the city wall is a double door that is tens of meters high. Its color is more grayish blue, and there are golden nails inlaid on it. There are two guards outside who can create a strong sense of oppression just by looking at it. .

They are five or six meters tall, wearing exquisite and sturdy silver full-body armor, one holding a big sword, and the other smashing a huge ax to the ground, each with an orange-red light behind the visor, like a single eye.

"Silver Knight..."

"Demon Hunter" Colin raised his right hand and swung his straight sword horizontally, blocking the members of the exploration team behind

——He had already pulled out the two straight swords on his back and coated them with different medicines.

Silver Knight... Igna's eyelids twitched slightly, and his heart palpited.

He only recently learned the names of some pathways to Sequence 3 from Senior Zhou's study. The Sequence 3 who knows the "giant" pathway is called "Silver Knight".

What surprised and frightened Igna was that the gatekeepers at the core of the "Royal Court of Giants" turned out to be two Sequence 3 demigods. What kind of heroic handwriting is this!

And this is only the gate area of ​​the royal court. If you can go deep, you don't know what you will encounter.

At this time, the "Shepherd" elder Lovia took two steps forward, stood side by side with Colin Iliad, looked up at the gray-blue gate and the two "Silver Knights" who did not know what state they were in, and said, "If there is only one , we have a chance to solve it.”

Colin Elijah nodded, glanced at Lovia and Derrick Berg respectively, observed the front for a while and said: "At present, as long as we don't get close to the gate, the two guards will not attack us. "

"Maybe you can try to lure one of the 'Silver Knights' away and do a separate cleaning?" The female warrior named Antierna thought about it and made a suggestion.

She has wine-red mid-length hair, and her facial features are not exquisite, but the combination is extremely majestic and bright. In this exploration operation, her main task is to rely on a sealed item in her hands to treat the psychological problems of the team members and fight against enemies with spiritual domain abilities.

Antiierna's specific idea is that she and other members will lure one of the "Silver Knights" away, and rely on terrain and coordination to deal with it, while the chief and Elder Lovia will join forces to deal with the remaining one, trying to solve it as soon as possible.

This is the textbook approach for the City of Silver to deal with similar situations.

"Even if there is only one 'Silver Knight', it will be very difficult, and there is no guarantee that the 'Silver Knight' you distract will not directly reveal the mythical creature form." "Demon Hunter" Colin calmly denied Antiona suggestion.

Not to mention that the "Silver Knight" itself has powerful extraordinary abilities. As long as it reveals the form of a mythical creature, most members of the Silver City's exploration team will not be able to look directly at it, and will be affected, making it impossible to deal with it.

Before the rest of the team could speak, Colin Iliad glanced back and said, "Take another path.

"Derrick found some information in the Reflection World of Afternoon Town, which records a passage in the area behind the 'Royal Court of Giants'."

"Shepherd" Elder Lovia's eyes immediately turned to Derrick Berg, indifferent, calm, and without any emotion.

"Okay." Lovia agreed to Colin Iliad's proposal.

Therefore, the exploration team withdrew from the huge stone steps and detoured to the left.

Before long, they saw a rugged path, with a towering cliff on the right, and clouds with no bottom, stained with evening light, on the left.

Of course, the path is only relatively spacious compared to the giants, and it is relatively spacious for the members of the Silver City exploration team.

As they walked forward step by step, Derrick and the others were inspired at the same time, and subconsciously looked to the side.

On the edge of the cliff, gray-blue swollen palms stretched out from the orange-red cloud, grasping there, densely packed, hard to count.

If these are all giants, even if they are only giants of Sequence 7 and Sequence 6, relying on this number is enough to wipe out the City of Silver's exploration team here.

Colin Iliad was about to swing the straight sword in his hand, while Derrick Berg raised the "Undark Cross" in his hand a little higher, and pressed a finger on a thorny thorn , oozing bright red blood.

The twilight light emitted by the pure cross suddenly brightened, as if it had returned to the noon state at once. They flocked to the edge of the cliff fiercely, covering the gray-blue giants who were trying to climb up.

These giants froze there at the same time~lightnovelpub.net~ Their bodies faded away inch by inch, and quickly disappeared.

They are not real giants, but the shadows of resentful souls left after the tragic death of those giants, so the "Darkless Cross" has a sense.

It is a holy-level sealed item in the "sun" domain, and it is the nemesis of resentful souls, shadows and evil spirits.

After easily eliminating these monsters, the Silver City exploration team continued to move forward vigilantly. After a while, they finally bypassed the mountain walls and cliffs and saw a gloomy forest.

In that forest, the trees are tens of meters high and extremely strong, but their skins are peeling off, their trunks are rotten, and their branches and leaves are withered, giving people an intuitive feeling of decay.

Those branches and leaves should have been entangled together, forming a cover in mid-air, blocking the light of dusk, making the interior dim, but at this time, due to the collapse of a large number of trees, the orange-red light has spread all over the large area that can be seen by the naked eye inside the forest. some places.

"This is the 'forest of decay' where the ancestors of the giants, the parents of the giant kings, are buried." Derrick looked ahead, silently calculating how long he could use the "Darkless Cross", and spoke to the chief and his teammates. they said.

Colin Iliad stared at the forest for a while and said: "It has been destroyed, even if there are residual dangers, it will not be too strong, we can try to explore."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief." Derrick responded without hesitation, "My cross can fight against the environment here, so I will go ahead."

The gray-haired Colin nodded lightly and said, "Be careful around you."

Derrick took a silent breath, took big steps, and walked towards the "Forest of Decline". (Note 1)
