Chapter 413: The First City in the Sky
Alka and his crew drove the Sound of Dawn and stopped on the sea. There were no reference points around, just a vast, boundless ocean.
Everyone was on the deck, and Urulius stood in the center of the deck, raised his dragon head, and looked at the sky above them.
"Is this the place?" Alka asked uncertainly.
Because there is nothing here.
There was no reference point and nothing special. It was just the sea surface they normally sailed on.
But this is their destination.
Alka even opened his eyes, which could see secrets, but still saw nothing.
If it is true, then it means that the protection here is really very strict, almost reaching the level of gods.
Urulius looked at the puzzled people and nodded, saying, "It's right here, right around us. We can't see it because it's hidden.
It is hidden so deeply that no one can find it, not even God. "
As she spoke, Urulius spread her wings, ready to take off.
But the wings did not flap, but remained like this, with the head held high, and the crystal pillars on the body began to shine brightly. At this time, Urulius opened his mouth and recited a language that Alka and the others could not understand, but they could understand the meaning of this language. When this language was recited, it attracted the magic power around.
"I sing here, I am a dragon of light, I am a dragon of prism, the shining stone will mend the world.
We will use our brilliant bodies to mold the outer shell of the world and protect its brilliance forever!"
Words that were similar to spells and declarations were recited, and a faint light began to flicker around them.
Taking this opportunity, Alka's eyes that could see through secrets finally noticed the hidden fluctuations in the air.
The fluctuations became wider and more frequent, and the light around them became more flickering.
Then, a patch of daylight completely blocked everyone's sight, and the daylight flashed by. The place where they were also changed in different ways. They were still floating on the sea, and the sea surface at this time was still the same as before.
However, when they looked up at the sky, they saw a huge building made of white stones and some crystals floating above their heads.
The huge building cast them into shadow, but there was a lot of rubble around the building.
They couldn't see clearly what the top of the building looked like from the bottom, but they could tell from the floating rubble around it that the building should have become a ruin that was not in good condition.
Those rubbles are all various building walls or pillars. You can also see some carvings and patterns on them, and you can also see structures similar to door frames or windows.
These should be the exterior walls of a building complex.
It just floats in the sky, as if frozen in time.
“As expected, it has become a ruin?” Urulius muttered to himself, seemingly not surprised at all by the scene before him.
“Is this the place you’re talking about?” Jason asked, looking at the building floating above them.
Urulius nodded, "The radiant city of Naphpas, the first city in the sky."
"How do we get up there? Fly up?" Xia Dai asked.
"The gravity around us is not right." Julia said, and suddenly pushed hard on the boat.
The whole person actually floated directly up into the sky.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit, and the puppet girls seemed very happy with this experience.
Porro jumped violently, and flew up like a sharp arrow. Just before he hit a piece of gravel, he quickly used his hands to cushion the impact.
However, perhaps because he had used up a little of his strength, although he collided with a piece of gravel, he was not injured. Instead, the piece of gravel floated slightly upwards as he collided with it.
Everything here seems to have lost its gravity.
Urulius spread his wings and flew up here very easily. He only needed to flap his wings lightly to move effortlessly.
Alka jumped with Lucelia to the nearest piece of gravel, and as the gravel shook, he stood steadily on it.
The gravel under their feet seemed to be from a stone pillar, and there was a circular crystal carving ring.
In this zero-gravity space, everyone showed their abilities and quickly climbed upwards, wanting to see what the huge building above their heads looked like.
Xiadaiti turned into a blue meteor and flew up, grabbing Alka's hand, and the two of them soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Then it slowed down and flew slowly into the sky. They finally saw the building floating in the sky in front of them in full view.
This is a huge fortress-like existence.
Or rather a huge castle.
White materials make up all the buildings of the fortress, and silver metal and almost transparent crystal are used as embellishments.
Countless tall spires collapsed, and it can be seen that basically half of the city has collapsed, and it is difficult to see any completely intact buildings.
However, I didn't see anything that was completely destroyed. Most of them were missing parts and turned into rubble scattered around.
Most of the main buildings were not damaged.
Even the city walls and fortresses surrounding them were full of gaps and potholes.
We can see its former glory from the ruins which are still well preserved.
Jason and others also flew to Alka and the others one after another, and stayed lightly in the air.
Only the puppet girls didn't care about any of this. Instead, they jumped around and played on the rubble of the ruins.
Urulius flew up and looked at the ruined castle.
"If she were intact, she would be as beautiful as in my dream."
"Do you want to go in? Will there be any defensive measures?" Alka asked from the side.
Although fortresses like this appear to be in ruins, it can be seen that most of the damage is to the tops of some buildings.
The foundation of the entire building and the lower areas are well preserved.
Not to mention that even the broken ruins and rubble are still floating around the fortress, so there may be many defense measures that are well preserved or even still being activated.
"No, this place has long lost its energy source, and all that's left is just an empty shell that is inconvenient to take away."
Urulius said, flapping his wings and gliding towards the fortress.
Everyone looked at it and flew over as well, spraying magic power through their arms, allowing them to fly in the air without any support.
Soon everyone caught up with Urulius and landed on the building together.
Under your feet is a clean white floor, the entire piece of stone is cut smoothly.
It is hard to imagine that this ruin has been preserved here for tens of thousands of years.
Silver metal, white boulders and sparkling crystals together make up the entire fortress.
The architectural style is fascinating, as if it appeared from a myth. Even the ruins make people marvel.
In front of them was a huge door frame.
The door frame was about 17 or 18 meters high, and was broken on both sides of the top, each one different.
Judging from the structure, there should be no such thing as a gate.
One after another, huge things that looked like crossbows or cannons were located on the city walls. Some disappeared due to gaps, but most of them collapsed completely or were completely destroyed and fell to the ground.
Obviously they are all scrapped things.
Everyone walked through the door frame and went in.
There was a huge square in front of them, and in the center of the square was a statue that they had just seen clearly.
It was a giant dragon roaring towards the sky, and beside it there were several other giant dragons flying beside it in fighting postures.
The appearance of these dragons is almost the same as Urulius, and they should belong to the same category of crystal dragons.
Everyone stood under the statue of the giant dragon and looked up at the surrounding buildings.
Everything around seemed so huge, the huge city walls, the huge buildings, the huge door frames, and the huge spires that were half collapsed.
"Descendants, come to me."
A majestic voice was heard, and everyone became alert instantly, and the treasure appeared beside them.
Look in the direction where the sound comes from.
There is a huge door inside the square.
The huge door is nearly 10 meters high and about four or five meters wide.
Above the gate are carved two giant flying dragons and densely packed flying dragons, and below are dragon-like people holding weapons.
"Descendants, come to me."
The voice came again, and it was exactly the same as the last time, not even the emotion had changed.
"It's not real life, it's like emotion without any feelings." Alka said with narrowed eyes.
Then he looked at Ulrius beside him.
"Let's go in. I can feel that he is the one who led me here."
Everyone nodded and followed Urulius towards the building.
However, he did not let his guard down, and the treasure remained exposed to ensure he could enter the battle as soon as possible.
Urulius and the others arrived at the gate.
On both sides of the gate are two rows of courtyards extending outwards, with huge stone pillars standing beside them.
It seems like this is a giant's palace.
Urulius raised her paws, pressed them on the door, and pushed it open with force.
It seemed that no one had pushed open this door for a long time. With a loud click , the door was slowly pushed open.
Perhaps the space inside is too empty and large, and the sound echoes and travels inside.
As the door opened, everyone looked inside.
What a scene it is.
Huge lobby.
It was as if countless giants needed to hold a meeting here.
The dome is thirty or forty meters high, and is inlaid with countless finely carved crystal panels.
The area of the entire hall is comparable to the huge square outside, it is so wide and spacious.
These thin crystal surfaces were carved with unknown techniques to depict various scenes, some of which seemed to be wars between gods.
It seems like a war between gods and dragons, and also like a fight between various strange creatures and powerful humans and various evil monsters.
Under the dome are many stone pillars reaching up to the sky.
These crystals seem to emit a natural light, illuminating the entire hall.
At the innermost part of the hall there is a huge throne.
The throne is made of pure transparent crystal, and a giant dragon with a body length of more than ten or twenty meters can sit on the throne.
There is indeed a sculpture that looks like a giant dragon carved on the crystal throne.
The two sides below the throne are so empty.
Various crystal murals are inlaid around it, and even the floor is paved with a translucent material like white jade.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
They arrived at what seemed to be a gathering place of the gods.
In a trance, they seemed to see the scene that had happened here in the past.
A giant crystal dragon, several times larger than Urulius, covered in huge, majestic crystals.
He just sat on the throne, looking down at the existence below.
On either side of it are all sorts of gigantic creatures.
Giants, dragons, monsters, and gods.
Humans and dragon people, as densely packed as ants, also stood in their respective positions around it.
This seems to be the scene of its heyday.
The illusion disappeared in an instant.
Everyone's minds were slightly withdrawn.
"Descendants, come here."
The voice sounded again, and the words changed. In a trance, they saw that the dragon on the throne seemed to speak again.
However, there was nothing on the throne.
Urulius walked slowly in the hall, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the hall so loudly.
This giant dragon, which could only be described as a young man, stopped under the throne.
He raised his head and looked down at the throne.
Alka and the others also came behind Urulius and just looked at the empty throne.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing.
When the breeze blew, a huge and majestic figure appeared on the throne.
The giant dragon that they had just seen in the illusion appeared on the throne, and it was sitting on the huge crystal throne.
The light of the crystal reflected his slightly illusory figure.
The huge dragon head lowered slightly and looked at Alka and the others, looking at Urulius in front of them.
"Descendant, you are here."
Looking at this majestic figure and that majestic voice, Urulius lowered his head slightly to show his respect.
Alka and the others also bowed their heads slightly.
" Tens of thousands of years have passed, and you, descendant, have finally come to me."
As he spoke, obvious emotional fluctuations finally appeared in his words.
Suddenly, his words became serious: "Looking at my descendants, do you remember your innate responsibilities? Do you remember the responsibilities flowing in your blood? Do you remember the pressure that this world has brought to you?"
Urulius lowered his head: "I remember the responsibility I was born with. I accept the responsibility flowing in my blood, and I bear the pressure brought by the world."
"Then are you willing to pay?"
"I'll give it, Grandfather."
"Very good, offspring, my children's children."
As he spoke, the majesty of this giant seemed to fade a little, and there was an inappropriate tenderness in his tone.
He stretched out his dragon claws, but the gentle movement passed through Urulius's head, and everything was an illusion.
But the dragon didn't seem to care, he looked at Urulius.
"Remember your duty, descendants. Bring your warriors now to receive the final legacy."
As the throne crystal emitted a brilliant light, the crystal murals around it also emitted light. These lights gathered in the center of the hall, where crystals spread out layer by layer, freezing the entire hall into a crystal world.
The many faces of the crystal illuminate everyone, reflecting everyone's appearance upon them.
And in the frozen center, a thin crystal surface that was cut extremely smoothly appeared.
But the thin surface of the crystal was like ripples on water. People could not see the other side of the thin surface at all, but saw an endless crystal space.
Urulius turned to look at the thin noodles, then turned to look at Jason.
"Let's go, warrior."
Jason seemed to understand something, nodded, and exhaled heavily. Then he looked at Alka and the others, followed Urulius to the crystal mask.
The two of them passed through the thin surface of the crystal and disappeared.
Alka and his companions just stood there, puzzled by the situations before them , but did not ask too many questions.
He turned his head and looked at the throne behind him.
On the throne.
The huge figure was still hovering above it, without the slightest hesitation.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at Alka and the others who were still standing there.
"Tell me about the broken world outside."
