Everyone turned their attention to the city below. Brando could clearly see the outline of the city, but in the eyes of the others, this strange 'ruin' did not necessarily look like a city. Because it was too different from the 'city' that most of them knew.
It had neither walls nor moats. It did not even have any defensive facilities or clear borders. What's more, its scale was too huge. It was so huge that it exceeded the limits of everyone's imagination.
Especially in Princess Magadal's eyes, it looked more like a grand temple, or perhaps the kingdom of the gods — the legendary Pantheon.
When everyone was silent, Mr. Liu added, "Akentu doesn't seem to have appeared either."
"Oh right," Fang Qi seemed to have remembered something, "the demon's seal has been lifted. You have to be careful. Its power at its peak is not to be underestimated. It doesn't seem like it wants to let us go so easily."
Although everyone had already expected this, but now that it was confirmed, they could not help but be speechless.
"But why didn't the demon lord stop us here?" Lotus had some doubts, "It knew that we would definitely appear here, didn't it?"
"This means that dealing with us may only be its secondary goal," Brando silently glanced at the city below, "its goal may be the same as Miss Furofa's, or it may think that we can't escape. After all, it has just lifted the seal and needs some time to familiarize with its restored power."
"Maybe it's both," Aloz said in a childish voice. It seemed that after turning into a dragon, her voice had become even more childish, even though she had already undergone the rite of adulthood, "Demons are a bunch of arrogant fellows. That's the only fact that we don't hate these fellows who reek of sulfur. It's normal for them to have some presumptuous thoughts sometimes."
Brando thought that it was no wonder that the dragons would think this way, because in the eyes of mortals, dragons were also a bunch of arrogant fellows. It was said that during the era of the Four Sages, they reduced the number of times they appeared in the human world, because they did not want to bow down to humans.
Aloz obviously did not know that this' stinking human 'was secretly criticizing her in his mind. She looked at Brando with her golden eyes and said, "So, hurry up and make a decision, or Furofa and the others will be far away."
Brando nodded and said, "Let's go down too."
"Is the answer to the mystery below?" Lotus laid on the back of the golden dragon and stared at the huge city, a faint fear of the unknown in her heart.
"Probably," replied her sister, as if she were not much interested in the subject.
"I can feel the call of the Heart of the Jade Phoenix," Phoenix Huo took a deep breath, "I can feel it, it's below."
She turned back and looked at Fang Qi.
"Yes, I can feel it too," Fang Qi said after a moment of silence, "It should be our inheritance and the inheritance of the White Raven Sword Arte. Unfortunately, the real inheritance of the White Raven Sword Arte has been destroyed by the Nine Phoenix.
. "" The Bi Fang's bloodline is not some random descendant, they are the true inheritors of the White Raven Sword Art. "Phoenix Huo frowned and replied.
"So what, they even banished the inheritor of the White Raven Sword Art. From that generation, the Bi Fang's bloodline no longer has any true inheritance."
"That's because …"
"Because he participated in the rebellion, right?"
"Hmph, it's meaningless to discuss this from a different standpoint, Fang Qi," Phoenix Huo replied calmly, "The Jade Phoenix's bloodline is just following the Heavenly Axiom, history will judge everything."
"What is the Heavenly Axiom?"
"The Heavenly Axiom is the people's will, Fang Qi."
Fang Qi snorted softly and did not say anything else.
Brando naturally heard the argument between the two, but he did not intend to intervene. This was the Nine Phoenix's own business, and it was not up to outsiders to criticize.
The others were obviously even less interested. Lotus and Delfien were arguing about what the city below was.
The little girl stubbornly believed that it was an ancient ruin, perhaps a Holy Temple or something similar. The Prime Minister's daughter, on the other hand, pointed out the nature of the city. She believed that the 'city' had many distinct functional areas, and it was obviously a settlement of a civilization. This understanding restored the original identity of a 'city'.
The Prime Minister's daughter was unusually talkative. She seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally trying to arouse Magadal's interest in the discussion, so as to distract the Nun Princess's attention. Unfortunately, ever since the Nun Princess entered this world, she seemed to be a little restless.
"Mr. Brando," She finally could not help but say, "I have a feeling that I might have been here before, but I don't have any memories of this place. I don't know if it's just my imagination."
Brando looked at her, and he too had a lot on his mind. He was even more worried than the Nun Princess. The appearance of this city had cast a shadow over his heart.
But at this moment, as the leader, he felt that it was necessary for his team to relax. "It's normal. Andrea told us that this place could be part of the Silver Plains. You were born here, so it's normal for you to have memories of this place."
Magadal looked at Brando's eyes uneasily. She seemed to have gained courage from her captain's calm brown eyes. She took a deep breath and calmed down.
After all, Brando and the rest could not fly as fast as the dragons. Although he could easily catch up with Flora and the others, the rest of the team did not have the ability to do so. Hence, the team's speed was not fast, and it took about half an hour before they slowly approached the ground.
When they were a few hundred meters from the ground, Brando could feel the city's anti-air system. To his surprise, the anti-air system was still working. Even in this dead world, the city's defensive system seemed to be working in an orderly manner.
However, the only thing that was still in operation was the No-Fly Domain. That was a very ancient way of setting up magic, even older than the runic magic of the witches. Needless to say, it was completely incompatible with the structure of modern magic.
The biggest difference between ancient magic and modern magic was the way in which dark magic was used. Brando could clearly feel that the laws of this place strictly followed some kind of law, enslaving the dark magic in a way that he had never heard of before, and forming such a large-scale anti-air zone.
This scale of anti-air zone was almost impossible to exist in Wohnde's era. Only miraculous ancient magic could reproduce this. However, it wasn't flawless. The tighter the Law's control over the dark magic, the greater the feedback from the Void.
Brando could not imagine how powerful the Chaos and Dusk, as well as the monsters in the wild, were in that era. It was no wonder that in the description of the ancient era, the war between the Gods and the Dusk was so destructive.
And there was a big problem with ancient magic, which was that it was too crude. The dark magic was almost unfiltered and absorbed by the law of Tiamat, causing many magic users to go crazy and even fall into darkness.
He knew that the ancestors of the Senia were cursed because of using ancient magic, and the witches were another example.
It was not until after the fourth war that the Law of Tiamat changed, and the Bugas invented a new magic system. Then, Tuman further improved on this system, so that the Law could be used by mortals, and formed a more advanced and sophisticated modern magic system.
Walking in this dusty and dead city, silently feeling the magic in the orbit of the law in a way that he had never experienced before, Brando could not help but have an illusion. It was as if history and the present time were intersecting at this moment, and the stagnant time had been given a new meaning.
He looked back at the others, but was disappointed to find that no one else seemed to have the same feeling as him.
"This is ancient magic." Aloz was a little surprised. "There is a complete ancient magic preserved here. If that's the case, this place is really a treasure trove. Many of the knowledge and theories of ancient magic have been lost in our world for a long time, if they can be rediscovered, it will lead to a huge improvement in the modern magic system!"
"That's not all." The Nun Princess seemed to be familiar with this as well. "Ancient magic contains a lot of knowledge from that era. Most of this knowledge has been lost since long ago. Although it may not be completely applicable to us, it can be used to answer many questions that we don't understand now. Scholars who unearth these fragments from the ruins of history have often reaped great rewards, but they are obviously far inferior to this place …"
"This is really a place of miracles." Lotus could not help but praise. "I never thought that the Wohnde of the past would be preserved in this stagnant world in such a way. This must be the masterpiece of Lady Martha!"
This may not be the Wohnde.
When Brando heard this, this sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.
Everyone finally landed in the middle of a strange building. These buildings were not similar to the architectural style of any area in Wohnde. They were neither simple and crude like the human cities, nor were they full of fantasy and romanticism like the Silver Folk. They were not grand like the dragon cities, nor were they delicate and simple like the elven or dwarf cities.
