Through the crystal stone, one can vaguely see a translucent shadow refracting on the lake surface.

The old mage almost immediately recognized this, Huriyan, who had been extinct for many years, a complete spiritual body - the most famous guardian of ancient times.

Like the demon spirit, Huriyan, as a spiritual body, survived completely by devouring subtle elements and disappeared as early as the Great Dark period. However, its appearance in this abandoned city built by the Truks did not arouse Hesen's surprise, after all, it was a product of the Age of Theodist.

"The guardian has appeared, you can't pass... Haha..." After seeing the guardian appear in a mental posture, the barbarian leader relaxed and fell to the ground.

The barbarians who discovered that Roland were one of the barbarian tribes living in groups on the edge of the forest. They took on the responsibilities of their ancestors entrusted to protect the ancient city. They endured the fear impact of nightmare. Although they were not in danger of life, they lost most of their ability to act and think. It is rare for the leader to support them until now.

"What is authority?" Seeing that the barbarian leader and the so-called guardian mentioned this term, Yaro quickly asked Heson beside him.

More than ten years ago, he also heard the mercenary group mentioned it at that time, but the status was too low at that time, and it was impossible to be told what it represented.

"Generally speaking, authority symbolizes the kingship or divine power. It is usually made into some kind of vessel, such as a scepter or crown, or even other objects. The authority mentioned here refers to the rights granted by God, which can also be regarded as the right to live or enter the city. You should know that Ellison was repaired by the Gutruks, representing divine power, and has the title of the land of God's arrival." The old wizard explained to the leader the so-called "authority". In ancient times, authority generally refers to bloodlines or embeds with magic passes.

If there is no authority, even high-level knights cannot withstand the impact of the "Wrath of the Gods". The magic cannons here are much stronger than those created by Ningal five hundred years ago. Even if the energy has been exhausted, the remaining magic power has enough to level the nearby mountains and forests.

"Si..."

A thin light shot out from Juriaen, who was in the beast-headed body, and quickly retracted after contacting Roland's body.

[Confirm...identity confirmation...]

The intermittent magic echoes along with their figure gradually faded away, without the fierce battles that people imagined.

If Husson's face was full of confusion, the savage leader was shocked.

He watched weakly as the aperture surrounding the floating city on the water faded. With the huge roar, countless huge white stones floated from the calm lake. They quickly connected together and built a road to the outer city in mid-air.

"This is impossible... no one can except the Truks and the Dark Clan..." The leader's words stopped abruptly after seeing Roland's cloak being blown down by the airflow caused by the rising stairs.

Black is the most typical feature of the Dark Clan.

"I'm here in the dream city..."

Following Roland's footsteps, the thief excitedly stepped on the floating steps.

Seeing the two figures gradually moving away, many barbarians rushed out of the forest behind them, Commander Yaro decisively ordered to enter the city.

*********************************************

"Don't you really have to worry about them, keep following you." Erdan asked this question again, and he didn't understand why the president of Tarasha kept allowing these mercenaries to follow him. Whether he went to this ruins to hunt for treasures or destroy the undead, it would always be a bad thing to let a mercenary group follow him.

Ignoring the thief who was talking to himself like a fly, Roland looked around, cautious and careful.

There are all kinds of powerful magic power fields everywhere, but she has to protect human thieves, enter the outer city to eliminate traps and mechanisms, and arrive at the inner city underwater as fast as possible.

"Ah..." Finding that he was ignored again, the thief sighed and stopped trying to talk to Roland. He turned his eyes to his side and began to observe the ancient ruins that were preserved in the legend.

The floating ladder was suspended in the air, surrounded by floating building fragments, which occasionally collided on the solid walls of the outer city, making a loud "touch! Touch!" sound.

The aperture barrier surrounding the city reflects colorful light, making the scenery by the lake extremely blurred.

Further away, the lake that could not be seen on the land changed its angle but became clear, and even the main city that sank underwater could see clearly.

This city is so big...

Eldan exclaimed sincerely in his heart.

Not to mention its architectural style that is more gorgeous and luxurious than the night elves, the area of ​​the entire city exceeds the capitals of several nearby kingdoms.

If we really want to compare, only the capital of the Holy Empire, which is called "City of Thousand Cities", can be compared with it.

Thinking of this, Eldan couldn't help but feel a little funny about his thoughts.

Why did I forget that the city of Abdullain, named after the King of Heroes, was originally the sun city of Germallon, which was opposite to the night moon city of Ellison.

But... this city is too big, just a connected floating ladder has been walking for so long.

The thief began to feel a little exhausted, and the stone steps that had been climbing up and circling consumed a lot of physical energy.

He is a thief, not a mercenary who is good at physical strength.

Besides, the distance is much further than what you see on the shore.

Will there be any problems with this floating ladder?

And he is not the only one who has this idea.

"Master Husson, is this safe?"

Yaro was still a little worried. After walking for so long, he had not reached the peak. He couldn't help but wonder if he had been infected with magic such as hallucinations.

"No, the road is right. It's just... in the age of theocracy, this road was a heretic who was only taken by slaves and civilians, and the Truks and other nobles, who were descendants of God, would not let their noble feet walk."

"Then how did they travel between the shore and the city?" Huien was quite curious. Since he didn't use this only path, how did the ancient residents enter and exit.

"Look there." Hesson pointed to the gravel that collided with the exterior wall from time to time; "The floating platform originally made of magic stones can easily travel between cities and land as long as it is driven by magic. It is recorded in the classics of the Magic Association that about two thousand years ago, the Magic Association and the Mercenary Association successfully broke through the magic barrier and entered the outer city, but because of too many traps in the mechanism, they had to withdraw without cooperating with the Thieves Family.

At that time, they used the floating platform to rise to the top, but because of the age, most of these magic stones were damaged to the point where they could no longer be used.”

"That's it... Then let's find a complete one and can't we quickly climb up?" Huien's words made the old master laugh.

"Huh, Huih. Look at the largest stone platforms, there are only two people. We have forty-two people. Do you want to use the magic of the only mage in the team before entering and climbing up?" Yaro shook his head. If he could go up directly with this method, he was afraid that Hesson would have said it long ago.

Besides, how could they be in front of Tarasha?

The mysterious president has such strong abilities that he can only reach the so-called inner city after him.

He ran to Ellison so hard, not for treasure hunting.

"?"

When he noticed that the two people in front stopped, Yaro raised his hand to signal the whole group to stop moving forward.

"Darcy, can you see clearly what happened before?" Cru, who had not spoken, asked the half-elf companion about the situation, and only he could see things that were so far away.

"In the end, this floating ladder. However, it has also encountered new trouble." Before Darcy's words could make the mercenaries cheer excitedly, his next sentence made the whole person enter a state of anxiety and tension than before.

"Don't move, it's dangerous. That's how the black knight told the thieves around him." Darcy, who had his ears and eyes, clearly heard Roland's orders Eldan.

*********************************************

Stepping onto the last floating ladder, what appeared in front of you was an extremely narrow corridor.

Like a floating ladder, there are no guardrails in the entire corridor. Although there is no wind, such a high position makes people feel dizzy when looking down.

Halfway through the corridor, black stone sculptures with a somewhat bird-like appearance stood on the tiny pedestals extending from both ends of the stone steps, casting long shadows on the ground paved with white stone bricks.

When the Boka mercenary group walked to the standing thief, they saw this scene.

"What are those, are the lights?" Greyen asked curiously.

"No, the oil lamp was not used like today in ancient times. During the period when elemental elves were active, they loved to use magic crystals as lighting tools. This custom has been passed down to this day. Ordinary people could not afford expensive crystals, so they replaced them with oil lamps." Husson remained silent, but the priest Krut answered the young man's question for him.

"I'm afraid it's the first institution in the outer city."

Darcy pointed out the tacit understanding of everyone's tacit understanding.

People's eyes were all focused on Roland, who was standing still not far away, and her position happened to be in front of the stone carving.

OK...

Taking a small step forward, Roland's feet stepped into the projection of the ground, and the stone sculptures at both ends immediately rushed to the invader as if they were given life.
