After walking for some distance, the artificial stone road on the ground became more and more complete, and there were also some building debris and ruins on both sides of the road.

From the few fragments of these ruins that can still preserve characteristics, it is not difficult for Leo to see that this civilization has reached a very high level of sculpture art, and the artistic style is also biased towards a religious atmosphere.

He has seen some reliefs about gods in the fragments more than once, but it seems to be intentional. All the reliefs of gods cannot see their heads. Some are broken at the waist, and some have their heads cut off directly. The only thing that can be confirmed

That is, these gods are all human gods.

In addition to the statues of gods, there are also some reliefs about the life scenes of this civilization, but most of the reliefs are broken, and it is barely possible to identify that the races of this civilization are also humanoid creatures.

As the surrounding jungle composed of human-faced trees gradually became sparse, Leo encountered many fewer attacks. After walking on a well-preserved stone road, when the road became wider, Leo

My vision also broadened as the fog dissipated.

After turning around a ruins, the gray mist jungle was finally left behind, and Leo also stopped because there was no road ahead.

I saw that not far in front of Leo, the road disappeared, and the entire land seemed to have been cut, forming a cliff with an endless line of sight. When I walked to the edge of the cliff and grasped downwards, all I saw was layers upon layers.

It was impossible to see what was under the cliff due to the sea of ​​clouds.

However, these are not what Leo is most concerned about. After scanning the surroundings, Leo's eyes fell on the eye-catching city in the distance. The city was looming in the clouds. From the appearance, it looked extremely...

It is so majestic that even the Black City may not be comparable to it, but the foundation supporting this huge city is a very thin-looking stone pillar. This stone pillar has been extending downward until it penetrates into the sea of ​​clouds.

"How do we get there?" Leo felt that if he wanted to leave here, he had to go to that city, but he couldn't find a way to get there unless he could fly.

Thinking of flying Leo gives me a headache. In the Earth Federation, the psionic skill of flying is actually a very common psionic skill. As long as a psyker reaches level 4, he can learn to use flying skills. Level 5 psionic skills.

It can even fly long distances within 5,000 meters in the inner space.

However, even though Leo is now a fifth-level psyker, and has almost reached the peak of the fifth-level psyker, he still doesn't know how to fly, and he is even more confused about how to use psychic energy to fly.

There is no flying wizardry.

"Oh haha! My friend, are you trapped here too?" Just when Leo was thinking about how to reach the city in the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, a hearty smile suddenly came from not far away.

He made a loud voice, and said something in a language that Leo couldn't understand, but strangely, Leo could understand the meaning of the words.

However, what surprised Leo even more was that the other person's presence was so low, and he was so close to him. He had just looked around with his eyes, but he didn't notice such a person beside him from beginning to end.

If this person is thin and deliberately hidden, when Leo's attention is attracted by the scene in front of him, as long as this person does not have a first impression on Leo, he may indeed not notice his existence.

But the problem is that this man is very tall, not much shorter than Leo, and the armor on his body is very eye-catching. From the helmet to the body armor to the arm prostheses, the leg armors are all round and look like layers.

of green onions.

In addition, next to such a man with strange armor was a large sword that was much longer than his body and a small buckler that could only protect his wrist. The contrast was so great that it was hard to believe that this was a matching set of equipment.

With such an eye-catching image that would become the center of attention wherever he stood, Leo found that he had ignored it just now. If it were not for external reasons and his own reasons, then it was probably because of the unique qualities of this weirdly dressed knight that made people unconsciously ignore him.

The ability to exist.

"Hello." Without feeling any hostility from the other party, Leo had no intention of taking action, but simply said hello.

"Hello, Serendor of Catalina." This knight-looking man seemed to be very enthusiastic and introduced himself familiarly.

"Catalina?" Leo was stunned when he heard this name for the first time.

The knight said with the rhythm of reciting poetry: "It is a beautiful country, with heroes and heroes everywhere. I am Serendor of the Bador family. I follow the footsteps of my ancestors and come to the end of everything."

Earth, to find the fire that will light up the world and end the eternal pain of embers!”

"Do you know much about the place where everything ends?" Leo asked with some confusion after hearing this.

"Don't you know the situation here?" Seredor moved his somewhat bulky-looking helmet, looked at Leo, and then said with some surprise: "Sorry, I thought you were also an ember, but I didn't expect you to be able to

To see the living in the place where all things end.”

"What are embers?" Leo asked doubtfully.

Seledor seemed to be very talkative. Even though he had just met Leo, he treated him as a long-time friend and talked without any scruples: "You must know that every world comes to an end, just like a bonfire that is gradually extinguished.

Eventually the bonfire goes out, the world ends, and the people in that world are the dying embers.”

As he spoke, he saw Seredor taking off his helmet, revealing a mummified head, which made Leo couldn't help but hold the cross sword in his hand.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Seredor put the helmet back on and said, "I am not the living dead who have lost their minds. I am just an ember. My flame has not been extinguished yet."

"I'm sorry, because I received too many attacks just now, so... I'm sorry." Leo bowed apologetically to Seredor, and then asked: "Mr. Seredor, you just said you came here to look for something.

The flame that lights up the world, which flame is what?"

"That is the fire of the world." Seredor's tone became much heavier and said: "After the destruction of the previous world, the flame gradually extinguished, leaving only a little residual fire covered by endless ashes. As long as it is found

These world fires can re-ignite the entire world and restore order to the world. There will no longer be embers like me, and there will no longer be monsters like the living dead."

When Seredor was explaining, Leo couldn't help but think of the soul-warming flame created with the soul bonfire rune trap, although it sounded like the fire of the world that Seredor was talking about was bigger than this.

The flame that would go out without the presence of the soul crystal was much more powerful, but he felt that the essence of the two might be the same.

Just when Leo was deep in thought, Seredor suddenly asked: "Since you are not going for the flames, can I know what you plan to do in the royal city?"

"The Royal City?" Leo looked at Seledor with some confusion, then pointed to the city in the sea of ​​clouds in the distance and said, "Is that the Royal City?"

Seredor nodded and said: "Yes, it is the royal city where the gods once lived, but was eventually abandoned by the gods."

Leo was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew from the grandeur of the city in the distance that the builders of this city must be extraordinary, he did not expect that this city was related to gods.

"I want to find a way to leave here and return to where I came from." Leo was surprised and did not forget to answer Seredor.

"Go back to your hometown?" Seredor seemed to have some feelings.

Although Leo knew very well that the other party's guess was wrong, he had no intention of explaining it. Instead, he neither admitted nor denied it.

Seredor thought for a while and said: "I can help you, and it can be considered as helping myself. After all, this kind of thing cannot be done by one person." As he spoke, he stood up from the ground and walked to Leo.

, said: "If you want to go to the royal city from here, besides waiting for the completed crystal bridge to appear, there is another way to get there, but that method requires the use of a prop, and that prop only needs to go to the ancient competition.

It can only be obtained by playing field. The guy guarding the ancient arena is a servant of a dead god. Although he has lost the protection of the god and his power is much smaller, he still has powerful power. I can barely deal with it with my own strength.

He, it's just that he will constantly summon some monsters to help. It's impossible for me to deal with him and deal with the siege of monsters at the same time. Although I don't know how strong you are, judging from the fact that you can walk out of the gray mist forest, your strength is definitely

Very powerful and qualified enough to assist me and help me clean up those summoned monsters."

"Yes, I can cooperate with you." Leo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Haha! Follow me." After receiving Leo's promise, Seredor didn't waste any time. He directly carried the big sword and a small shield and rushed into the gray mist forest along an inconspicuous path.

.

Leo didn't think much and followed quickly.

Seledor didn't seem to be very familiar with the Gray Mist Forest. After entering the forest, he could only walk along the road on the ground. When he encountered several forks, he would stop and carefully identify them for a while before choosing a path to move forward. It didn't take long.

In a short time, he led Leo to a ruins on the edge of the gray mist forest.

"Be careful, that guy still has some of his men entrenched here." After arriving at the ruins, Seredor stopped and then carefully led Leo into the ruins, sticking to the walls and shadows.

Leo, who was following behind, watched Serendor, who was wearing heavy armor, move forward quietly like a cat, and couldn't help but think again about this foreign knight who seemed unreliable.

Assessment of strength.

Soon the two came to the ruins of a huge building. Seredor hid in a damaged house, then pointed to a place outside the house and motioned to Leo who was following him to look there.

Without needing to look further, Leo easily identified a creeping dark, human-like monster hidden in the shadow of a building in the distance. As Leo scanned through the mental network,

After checking it again, he found that there was more than one monster hiding in the shadows, and there were more than thirty monsters in number.

Seledor lowered his voice and said: "These monsters are all that guy's servants. They are very dangerous. They will hide in the dark and observe every move of their prey. Once the prey has a flaw, they will attack in groups, allowing the prey to defend itself.

There is no chance." As he spoke, he paused and continued: "I will go out to attract those monsters to appear later, you have to do it as soon as possible..."

"Don't be so troublesome!" Leo shook his head, signaling to Seredor not to worry, and then placed his hand in the shadow of a corner connected to the house next to him, calling on the power of psychic energy and shadow to cast a shadow witchcraft.

.

Then, I saw several spiral psychic cones rushing out of the shadows next to the monsters' bodies, piercing directly into the monster's skull from the jaws, and then coming out from the other side, taking away the lives of these monsters.

It was obvious that these monsters were not aware at all that there was a fatal attack under them. They could not even move to escape. They were drilled out of their heads one by one, without even a scream, and they all died on the spot.

Leo picked up his hand from the shadow, checked the surrounding situation with his mental network, and then said to Seledor: "Those monsters have been dealt with, what's our next step?"

Seledor obviously didn't expect that the monsters that gave her headaches would be treated by Leo in this way. She was surprised for a while. When Leo asked for the second time, he came back to his senses and said: "You

How did you do it? Are you a magician or a conjurer," he said, paused, and then asked: "A dark magician?"

"What is a dark magician?" Leo asked in a deep voice.

"Dark magicians are people who can use the power of the abyss. Before they become dark magicians, some are magicians, some are spellcasters, and most of them are priests of gods. When they fall, they will gain the power of the abyss.

Blood, through the blood of the abyss, you gain the ability to use the power of the abyss." As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Shadow is also a compulsory ability for dark magicians."

Leo saw the rejection of the shadow in Seredor's eyes, so he explained: "I am not a dark magician, nor a priest. I am a wizard, a wizard who mainly analyzes the mysteries of the world."

As he said that, he saw him displaying all his abilities, including spiritual energy, and all kinds of energy gathered in the palm of Leo's hand. Seledor couldn't help but feel frightened. This was the first time he had seen anyone.

It was incredible to him that a person could actually understand the power of so many gods.

Because even in a country of knights like Catalina, it is impossible for one person to believe in several gods at the same time. This is simply the greatest blasphemy against the gods.

But now Leo can exert the power of several gods at the same time, which is equivalent to believing in several gods. Seledor has never heard of such an incredible thing happening.
