Chapter 2786 Iluna of the Fifth Era
Although there is only one reward this time, this one is enough for Shade. As for the “Lord in Black Robe” Shade mentioned in the additional test, it is not unknown that he is a **** with the title of “God of Teachers and Inheritors”.
This **** is not powerful. He is the protector of knowledge inheritors, but his faith spreads quite widely. If we look at the relationship between the old gods and the ancient gods, there is no doubt that they are closely related to the ancient **** of knowledge and wisdom [Secret Keeper].
“The guardian in gray robe is the guardian of the library and belongs to the moon system; the guardian in black robe is the guardian of teachers and belongs to the knowledge system.”
Although Shade had heard of this god, he didn’t know much about him. He could only confirm that he was a good god.
“Then let’s see what happens this time.”
Thinking in his mind, he took a step forward in the thick fog with a little expectation. Then the mist dispersed to both sides, revealing the expected black world.
Xia De took a step and stepped on the water, and then he fell directly into the extremely cold water:
“There is something wrong with the water. Walking on the water is prohibited here!”
When the boat lifted Shade up, the first thing he noticed was not the towering hundred-meter-high rock walls on both sides of the spacious river, but the swirling waves of water that continued to fall from the top of the river valley. ash.
All the lighting here comes from these ashes falling from high altitude. They look like snowflakes and are almost as bright as fireflies. But once the ashes fall into the water, they will immediately merge with the black river water and no longer shine.
Looking high into the sky, you cannot see the source of the ash at all, and the surrounding rock walls are as completely black as the river water, and the ash falling on it will lose its luminous color:
“This is not like the ashes produced after an object is burned, but rather like petrified powder.”
The direction that Shade was facing when he appeared was the upstream of the current. It was not that there was nothing in the water. On the contrary, tables, chairs, benches, broken plaster statues, building debris and other debris came towards Shade along the current, hitting Shade. After that, the boat continued to drift towards the invisible lower reaches of the river valley.
While Shade was trying to observe the debris floating in the water, there was also an unusual noise under the water. A shadow deeper than darkness flashed across the water, looking like some kind of giant snake, so Shade immediately steered the boat upstream and sailed forward.
Treefather always likes to put Shade in relatively dangerous places at the beginning of time adventures, and he is used to this. Therefore, Shade did not want to explore what was lurking under the water. He stood at the stern of the boat with the oar, preparing to guard against something suddenly emerging from the water. However, the giant thing under the water did not poke its head, but pushed it up. At the bottom of the boat.
The violent shaking almost caused the boat to roll over, so Shade hurriedly inserted the oar into the water to stabilize the balance. As the oar entered the water, it emitted a faint golden light trail, forcing the underwater shadows to temporarily leave the boat.
But the crisis is not over, because the water is still shaking violently. More and more slender shadows appeared densely around the boat at this time. Fortunately, the destination was not far away. Shade continued to stir the water with the paddle while steering the boat.
After the boat traveled rapidly for three minutes, Shade used the glowing ashes in the sky to realize that the river valley had reached the end of the upper reaches.
The end of the river valley is the source of this broad river. From the gap in the fence of the castle building that stands high on the cliff, the raging water forms a waterfall and pours down, carrying many debris with it. The big river.
The castle is at least a hundred meters higher than the river below, and the scene is spectacular under the light of the ashes in the sky. However, when the water fell below, there was no rumbling sound. Only when Shade’s boat approached did he hear a sound that was not ear-splitting.
His small wooden boat is not yet capable of going up the waterfall, but fortunately there is a small dock that has been submerged in the water at the bottom of the valley below the waterfall. The dock is connected to the stone steps on the side walls of the valley cliff, and this The stone steps are almost parallel to the flow of the waterfall.
So Shade abandoned the boat and quickly climbed up the stone steps. After realizing that transformation was not prohibited here, the red butterfly almost flew up the steps.
When he finally arrived at the castle on the cliff of the river valley, he discovered that the place where the water rushed out was the gate of the castle, and the stone steps connected it like a small side door.
The water fell from the higher void into the center of the castle, and then broke through the gate and continued to fall into the valley below. This resulted in the castle being almost a vast ocean. Although the upper floors of several high-rise buildings could be seen above the water with the help of the ash lighting, there was no doubt that the place had suffered serious damage.
The white ashes are more densely populated in the high-altitude castles, which makes the feeling of desolation and weirdness more serious.
“Is this the so-called ‘Yishu Academy’?”
The side entrance where Shade is located is on a higher ground and is not flooded by the water, but as long as you take a few steps towards the inside, you will be flooded again.
Xia De then looked around again, and saw from a distance that there seemed to be light at the bottom of the tallest spire-style building in the distance. After he took the boat over, he found that it was not a tower, but a spire on top. Huge five-story building.
If this castle was really a school, then judging from the architectural style, it should be an important functional building such as a library or a teaching building.
Only the first and second floors of the building have been flooded, and the third floor is also in danger. After Shade maneuvered the boat and continued to approach, he saw the light of the bonfire appearing on the fourth floor.
The walls are dilapidated and only the window frames are left. The bright side of the bonfire faced the huge gap in the wall. The gap seemed to have been forcibly knocked out by an external force, so Shade, who came by boat, turned into a swarm of butterflies and flew from the water to the fourth floor.
The fluttering red butterflies indeed attracted the attention of everyone around the campfire. There were four companions this time, and they were all women. But when Shade walked out of the red light and saw the appearance of the youngest among them, he rarely showed complete surprise.
Because the eighteen-year-old girl has long brown hair, eyes with heterochromatic pupils, and a tough but beautiful face. Although the robe does not seem to suit her, she can still be seen as youthful and beautiful. .
“Iluna? No, you are Iluna’s ancestor? Wait, is your ancestor’s bloodline so powerful? He actually looks exactly like you after an era?”
But obviously this is not the ancestor of the Bayas family, this is the Iluna that Shade is most familiar with. The evidence is that after Iluna, who was originally mentally exhausted, saw Shade flying up from the gap in the wall, she immediately stood up in shock:
“Shad!”
She wanted to leave the bonfire and walk towards Shade, but was immediately stopped by the other three girls by the fire. They are all witches, they all look too young, and they all wear robes similar to the ones Iluna wears.
Although it was the first time for Shade to see this kind of brown robe with a hood, he guessed that it was the uniform of this college.
“Beas, wake up, have you forgotten where this place is? How can you be sure this is the person you know? And this is a man, can’t you, this is a man?”
The one holding Iluna’s shoulders was the eldest witch among the four, but she looked to be about the same age as Flora. At the same time, she and Iluna were also the only two humans among the four people present.
The other two girls stood up by the fire. One had dragon wings stretched out behind her. Judging from the shape of her forehead corners and the appearance of her wings, she should be a pure-blooded green dragon, or one with more than 80% dragon-born blood. Dragonborn Witch;
Another girl who seems to be introverted is a werewolf. Of course there is no moon in this weird place, but she still shows her racial characteristics in order to guard against danger, namely furry ears, tail and extremely dangerous paw.
Shad has seen werewolves when he was in Moon Bay, but compared to the elderly Mrs. Frost in Moon Bay, the young werewolf lady obviously has no deterrent effect.
The Dragonborn Witch and the Werewolf looked equally tired. Neither of them spoke, but they obviously didn’t trust Shade either.
Eluna maintained basic caution. Although she roughly believed that this was Sha De, she still stopped and observed Sha De carefully:
“There may indeed be monsters here with mind-reading and mimicry abilities. That one over there looks like Shad. You have to prove that you are the Shad I know. Take little Mia out and I will believe you. .”
This is a big problem, that cat will not be born until the next era:
“Iluna, this is my first time here. It’s impossible for me to take little Mia on an adventure. Ask some other questions. Don’t we have many secrets in common?”
Shade then said that he also agreed to be more cautious, and he also wanted to use Iluna’s questions to determine whether she was true.
“Be careful, I think he is trying to charm you.”
The human witch with black hair reminded, while looking at Shade’s actions to guard against him with a stern look, she reminded again:
“And don’t forget what else is hidden in this academy. The strange beings here have more or less omniscient abilities. Bayas, don’t ask ordinary questions, think carefully about what you should ask.”
Although Iluna wanted to take the opportunity to ask Shade a question like “the eye color of your favorite girl,” she felt that it would make her look despicable. So after thinking about it, she finally said:
“Listen, my question is:
If you encounter a three-way intersection in the wilderness at night, with a terrifying demon spirit on one side, a man-eating giant on the other, and a ‘mourning bird’ with puzzles ready to embarrass you directly in front of you, then on What do you do when you can’t go back? ”
