After resting for a night in the palace of the Queen of the West, Xu Shenxing and the others were ready to set off.
"Uh, may I ask, why are you here?"
But there seemed to be an extra person in the carriage.
This made Xu Shenxing cover his forehead and ask helplessly.
"Don't mind it, it's just that I haven't visited that guy's grave for a while, so this time I'm taking you there."
There it was, a standard tsundere scene!
Xu Shenxing criticized in his heart.
"I always feel that you're thinking of something very impolite."
The Queen of the West narrowed her wine-red eyes and stared at Xu Shenxing. For some reason, the latter felt pressured.
"No, no, it's just that for a queen to sit in a small broken carriage like ours, don't you think it's undignified?"
"Only those who are lowly in their bones would value something like dignity."
The other party just answered casually, and then as if she was no longer interested in Xu Shenxing, she turned her head and looked out the window at the scenery she should have been tired of.
They were silent all the way.
Even Louise, who was originally very excited, was worried about the queen, so she became silent.
Xu Shenxing was also the kind of person who didn't like to talk much except to acquaintances — because once he spoke, it would be easy to expose his true nature of being a clown.
Today's carriage was not pulled by horses, but by the big bats called night unicorns from yesterday. Interestingly, when they folded their wings, they looked like a combination of a monkey and a fox with a very strange appearance and color.
Although at first Xu Shenxing had doubts about whether this kind of thing could really run fast, in fact, this strange creature ran quite fast.
Because Old Xu was used to his own speed, he didn't feel much about other speeds (because in his view, they were all extremely slow), but just from the way the scenery outside the window retreated, it was probably comparable to the speed of a high-speed train.
About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
"Oh, what a surprise."
Xu Shenxing opened the curtain in front of the carriage, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but let out a surprised sound. "It's actually like this …"
Due to the influence of television and movies, he originally thought that this kind of cemetery was not like the ancient mausoleums of the Celestial Dynasty, but like the vast grassland with many tombs erected in foreign movies.
In the end, what appeared before them was a bottomless pit.
Even with Xu Shenxing's eyesight, he couldn't see anything when he looked down.
"This place was originally the World's Guide, the location of the World Axis. In the war against the Age of Destruction, Xi Wei had extracted the World Axis and forged it into the most powerful weapon against the Age of Destruction. Therefore, there's nothing down here. It's the closest place to the concept of 'nothing' in this world. "
As if she already knew that Xu Shenxing would be surprised by this, the Queen of the Western Region explained, "And the floating island in the middle is the location of Adrian Cemetery."
"How should I put it … It's really surprising."
Looking at the floating island, he muttered to himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen a floating island before, but the way the floating island was connected to the outside world surprised him.
There were six huge rainbow-colored bridges made up of countless dazzling petals.
The beautiful petals at the edge of the bridges poured down into the bottomless abyss like a waterfall. It was a spectacular sight with a different kind of beauty.
"It's the Apologetic Flower. Legend has it that if you find a flower with six petals, you can communicate with the dead." Louise whispered to Xu Shenxing.
"Where did these petals come from?"
Xu Shenxing asked curiously.
"It's a concept. The Apologetic Flower itself is a miracle brought about by Xi Wei, a symbol of the living's remembrance and remembrance of the dead. Every time a Apologetic Flower blooms in this world, another flower's petal will appear here. Before it falls to the bottom of the world and becomes' nothing ', these petals will be accepted by the world itself, and then new Apologetic Flowers will bloom in other parts of the world. "The Queen of the Western Region answered.
She paused for a moment before continuing, "If one day, the people of this world no longer have nostalgia for the dead, the Apologetic Flower will disappear. This cemetery will also sink to the bottom of the world and become a part of nothing. "
"In other words, as long as people are afraid of death and still have memories of the dead, this cemetery will exist forever?"
Xu Shenxing couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm afraid that there is nothing eternal in this world. Even the legendary archmages who are closest to the Vortex of Chaos can't resist the passage of time and the pride of humans who don't want to become abnormal. "
The Queen of the Western Region's voice became a little lower.
She was probably talking about the choice of the 'me' in this world.
Xu Shenxing thought to himself.
"From here on out, we can't take a car. Let's go down and prepare to walk."
Then, under the leadership of the Queen of the Western Region, the three slowly crossed the bridge made of Apologetic Flower petals and arrived at the city gate.
At the moment, the gate was guarded by a humanoid creature that was about three meters tall and had muscles that didn't look like a human at all.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen."
The humanoid creature used a voice as rough as its appearance to greet the Queen of the Western Region.
"You may rise. Did anything unusual happen here? "
The Queen of the Western Region waved her hand and asked.
"Nothing unusual for the time being, but two rare guests have come."
The other party replied.
"Oh? Who dares to come here? "The Queen of the Western Region suddenly became a little interested.
"Why do you make it sound like it's scary?" Xu Shenxing whispered behind her.
"Because this place is called the closest place to the Soul Territory, and many of the guards here are undead creatures. Therefore, on the human side, Adrian Cemetery is one of the three most dangerous places, along with the Cave of Grief and the Amber Cave, which have extremely high mortality rates."
Louise explained to Xu Shenxing.
"That's your human prejudice. Humans are like this, they will be vigilant and suspicious of other species, so they are not welcomed by other species. "
Unexpectedly, the Queen of the Western Region heard the two whispering and immediately snorted, expressing her disdain.
"Your Majesty the Queen?" The huge humanoid creature seemed a little confused.
"It's okay, I'm not talking to you. You continue to report. "
"Okay." The other party nodded its head that was slightly bigger than a pumpkin. "The visitor is the Saintess of the Pure White Church, Lady Erilia, and her attendant, the new Sacred Silver Swordswoman Annelita."
"A troublesome fellow has come." The Queen of the Western Region frowned, which was rare.
"Pure White Church? Saintess? "
Unlike the surprised Louise, Xu Shenxing showed a puzzled expression.
"I guess that fellow is also here to visit Xi Wei's grave. Well, I'm a little interested to see what expression she will make when she sees you. Let's go."
In just a moment, the Queen of the Western Region showed a smirk and said with a rather wicked tone.
"…"
Could it be that the Saintess was also an old acquaintance of this world?
How promiscuous was he in this world!
