Not to mention how the elven servants at the Royal Spire were going to explain to Hilda that all the guests had run away. At this time, Hao Ren and his entourage had flown far away, and a circle of high walls outside the Royal District came into view. Vivian was flying in the sky with Hao Ren. Below them, Lily was running on all fours with her head held high. Y'zaks was not slow either. Both of them were running faster than the levitating cars made by the elves. By now, the flashes of the explosion at the edge of the floating island had subsided, but there were a few huge beams of light shooting into the sky from where the accident happened, pointing the way for Vivian who was flying in the air. Hao Ren could hear the wind whistling in his ears. He could only shout at the top of his lungs, "The wall is in front of us! Can you pull it higher and let's climb over it? "
"The wall is fine, but I don't know if we can pass through the barrier," Vivian replied loudly. "I've never encountered a barrier of this level."
In addition to the circle of high walls outside the Royal District, there was also an additional layer of shield in the sky. This magical shield could cover an entire city, so it was definitely not just for show. It was hard to say if Vivian could break through this city-level shield with her own strength. At this time, Hao Ren suddenly felt that he should not have rejected the elven warriors' good intentions of arranging a vehicle just to save trouble — or at least he should have waited a few minutes for them to inform the staff on the wall to open a gap in the shield. Now that the translucent membrane was right in front of them, Vivian began to decelerate in advance and finally stopped in front of the "membrane" steadily. Hao Ren reached out to touch it and found that it was a solid shield like his Steel Membrane Shield.
Of course, the technical level may not be as good as the Steel Membrane Shield, but obviously it was not something that could be broken through by brute force.
At this time, Lily also ran in front of the wall. She looked up and saw that there was a wall in front of her. She did not slow down at all. Without thinking, she jumped up with all her strength and drew a silver-white line in the air towards where Hao Ren and Vivian were hovering. From the corner of his eye, Hao Ren only saw a blurry white shadow jump up from below and hit the shield with a "bang". Then there was a scream like a puppy whose tail was stepped on, and Lily fell straight down.
Sure enough, it was not something that could be broken through by brute force.
"I can make a hole," Y'zaks said from below. "But it doesn't seem right."
"Nonsense, of course it doesn't." Hao Ren could not comment on Y'zaks, the meteorite maniac. In his mind, the only way to solve a problem was to pull a meteorite down to calm himself down. But this was not the time to let Y'zaks do that. Hao Ren was here as a guest, not to demolish a house. The floating island of Aerym was already in such a sorry state, and he wanted to pull a meteorite down to make a bigger hole? Was he here to help put out the fire or to set it on fire?
"How is Lily?" Hao Ren looked down at the direction where Lily fell. The amazing jump of the husky just now left a deep impression on him. The girl's jumping ability was indeed amazing. She jumped up from a 200-meter wall with just one leg. But her brain was really lacking a lot of things. Her talent was all Strength and Physique. "Swollen?"
Lily's voice came from below a few seconds later. From her tone, one could tell that she was still in a daze. "I'm okay... just a little dizzy. My head hurts. It's swollen."
Hao Ren wanted to find someone to open the barrier, but he had no idea where the control mechanism of the wall was, let alone who was responsible for it. He did not even have Hilda's contact information. Only then did he realize that he had come out in a hurry. But soon, he and Vivian noticed something: there was a faint flash of light on the barrier not far from where they were. From time to time, they could see a nocturnal hovercraft passing through that flash of light. It seemed that all the vehicles passed through that spot.
"Could that be a traffic junction?" Hao Ren said, pointing at the flash of light.
Vivian flapped her wings and flew over. "Anyway, let's try."
It turned out to be a traffic junction. It seemed that the Aerymian elves' shield technology had certain limitations. They could not set up an identification signal for their vehicles, and then let the shield generator automatically open an exit at any place on the shield when it detected the identification signal (the shield of Kuiper Station had this function, so the spacecraft could enter and leave the station from any direction). So, they could only leave a fixed traffic junction on the shield. There was a circle of floating bright runes around the traffic junction, which was obviously some kind of additional maintenance device. In case of emergency, the traffic junction could be closed. Vivian reached out and felt like she was passing through a layer of soft water film. So, she boldly flew out. Lily also jumped out of the hole, and as she did so, she greeted Hao Ren. "I'm jumping over here. Good aim — ow ow..."
Hearing another scream, Hao Ren quickly lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"... There's a roof below. I didn't have time to adjust my posture, and my face hit the ground."
Vivian could not help but wipe the cold sweat off her forehead on Hao Ren's back (her hands were holding onto Hao Ren). "I really envy her physical fitness. That face of hers can easily split a mountain."
"Don't be envious. She traded her brain for that body."
Y'zaks was a little more reliable than Lily. The big demon conjured a pair of flaming demon wings behind him and smoothly passed through the traffic junction. But, he was not a flying demon, so he could only glide for a short distance. In the end, he still had to run on the ground. At this time, the movements of Hao Ren and the other four had attracted the attention of some elves. The main reason was that when Y'zaks flew, the lighting effect was really blinding. You have no idea how challenging it was for such a muscular man to glide down. Many lights lit up inside and outside the high walls, and some curious citizens appeared on some windows and rooftops. Hao Ren quickly pulled Vivian's clothes and said, "Keep flying, don't waste time... Hey, hey, watch out for cars!"
The two of them were still flying near the traffic junction. The flying cars in this area were quite busy even at night. As soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, a hovercar narrowly missed Vivian. The vampire maiden was scared out of her wits and quickly lowered her altitude. She almost became the first creature from Earth to have an accident in the air.
They soon came to the edge of the city, but they could no longer rely on the lights to guide the way. The lights were warning lights outside the "hoop" of the floating island. Looking from the inside of the hoop, the guidance was very blurry, and they could not pinpoint the exact location of the explosion. But there were many people on the streets, so Hao Ren asked Vivian to lower her altitude. The two of them met up with Lily and Y'zaks on the ground, ready to find out where the explosion happened.
The streets of Aerym at night were definitely not as lively as on Earth. There were no night markets or other entertainment activities. Although there was no shortage of energy, the city was still lit at night, but the lighting was only at the necessary level. Now that the explosion of the propulsion unit had attracted some people from their homes, the streets became a little more lively. The sudden appearance of Hao Ren and the group of weird-looking outsiders on the street naturally attracted the attention of many elves.
Y'zaks was already eye-catching enough, but now Lily was in her golden-eyed, white-haired sorceress form, and Hao Ren and Vivian had descended from the sky. This combination was only eye-catching when they transformed.
"Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the place where the explosion happened?" Hao Ren grabbed the arm of a handsome elf closest to him (this place was full of handsome guys). The latter was startled by the strange strangers, but he still pointed in a direction. "Over there."
"Thank you." Hao Ren nodded and was about to leave when an elf in the crowd suddenly called out curiously. "Are you the inhumans that Her Majesty the Queen brought back?"
This attracted more curious elves on the spot. Hao Ren saw the situation and quickly tried to find a way out. "Don't worry about the details, don't worry about the details. Excuse me, your queen will be holding a press conference tomorrow..."
As he was about to run through the densest part of the crowd to the scene of the explosion, an elf behind him shouted, "Don't go there! It's dangerous there! "
"That's what I do!" Hao Ren said from afar and disappeared at the end of the street.
