Fairy’s Box

For three days in a row, Yale stayed awake, studying high-speed phantoms in the reception hall while gnawing at the general outline of hurricane phantoms, and finally managed to memorize the entire hardcover book before the deadline.

Looking at the five-centimeter-thick hardcover book, the black-haired knight guessed that the enhancement of the power of the soul might also have the effect of developing the brain. Change to the old self, don't say three days, you can't remember so many words in a year.

At dawn on the fourth day, Alex and his guard of honor came to the Approach Hall with him, and invited Yale to ride in a carriage, driving eastward against the gradually throbbing sunlight on the horizon, heading straight for the depths of the palace.

As the twilight of the morning light shrouded the main road, the imperial palace gradually revealed its true face in the eyes of the black-haired knight, showing strange and beautiful colors. White, yellow, blue, purple, black, flowers are intertwined, like a huge blanket woven vertically and horizontally, spread on both sides of the road.

At the end of the main road, a huge white pagoda stands majestically. The huge base at the bottom of the white pagoda has occupied all of Yale's field of vision, and the tower gradually becomes sharper upwards. Extending from the earth into the depths of the sky, looking down from above, it looks like a needle above the clouds.

The material of the tower body is very close to porcelain in appearance, shining under the sunlight, the light and shadow flow, and the changes are wonderful.

"This is the Ascension Hall, the top of this white pagoda, which links to where you are going this time."

His Majesty the Deputy Emperor ordered the guards to lift the curtain in front of the carriage, pointed to the top of the tower deep into the clouds, and said slowly:

"It has been seven hundred years since the construction began in the time of Emperor Jusius, and it has been completed since Emperor Galerius."

Emperor Galerius was the successor of Emperor Jusius, and his place in history was a little too transparent because of the brilliance of his predecessor. During his reign, the emperor had neither absurdity nor world-shattering achievements, and belonged to a monarch who was willing to be indifferent.

"Ascension Hall..."

The black-haired knight looked up at the huge figure of the tower, his eyes slightly lost: "Your Majesty wants to tell this minister that there is a sealer suppressed in this Ascension Hall?"

"Ascension Hall itself is not a place of sealing."

Alex's eyes narrowed slightly, and he passed through the thick clouds and turned to the top of the White Tower: "When you and I climb to the top of the tower and watch the rising sun, you will understand the meaning of this White Tower's existence."

Entering the interior of the foundation of the White Pagoda, a huge underground palace is displayed in front of Yalei's eyes. The dark blue space extends infinitely in the field of vision. The slender and long belt-shaped corridors are connected with gears of different sizes. for substance.

In the base, the four walls are made of crystals with texture close to the space-time crystal wall, the fluorescence is restrained, and the thin lattice lines on the top extend all the way to the highest top.

Even someone like the black-haired knight who knows nothing about architecture can see that this ethereal and bizarre style is out of tune with Rosevia, as if it were a legacy of prehistoric civilization that slept countless years ago.

His Majesty the Deputy Emperor took him through several corridors and arrived at a silver space with four walls as smooth as a mirror. A trapezoidal platform suspended in mid-air and matching the light projected from the top appeared in front of the two of them.

"Follow me."

Alex beckoned to Yale, then strode to the platform, and the latter immediately followed.

After the black-haired knight stepped into the platform, he did not see any instructions from His Majesty the Deputy Emperor. The entire platform rose steadily and rapidly. The speed was so fast that the walls on the four sides looked like flowing mercury. Yale even produced a kind of The illusion that the whole body is filled with heavy lead.

The overweight process lasted about five minutes, and when Yale came back to his senses, the top of his head was already scorching hot. Looking up, he saw the sunlight again.

However, the black-haired knight was suddenly dazzled in the sunlight.

He found that he was actually standing on the clouds - in front of the platform was an empty mysterious altar, surrounded by a circle of fan-shaped stone tablets, and the blue ground was like a water mirror, decorated with hundreds of beams of different sizes.

The altar was filled with white clouds, and the wind in the sky was cold and cold, and a little warmth gradually rose as the sun spread.

"Look there, look at the sun!"

Alex's words brought him back to his senses.

At this time, His Majesty the Deputy Emperor was standing alone on the edge of the altar, among the rolling clouds, the Toga robe was bulged by the wind, and he stretched out his hand to the eastern sky that was gradually breaking.

What does he want me to see?

Yale immediately jumped off the platform, walked behind Alex, and turned his eyes to the source of dazzling light that gradually dyed the sea of ​​clouds red.

At the end of the thick cloud wall, endless golden light emerged and spread outward.

Countless golden lights are like clusters of arrows penetrating the sky, dazzling golden lights burst out from the light source in bunches, from far to near, the whole sky is full of bronzing light and shadow.

The huge light cocoon was wrapped in the golden light, breaking through the sea of ​​clouds little by little, and slowly rose to the sky. At this moment, the black-haired knight felt a faint stance of life.

"The sun...is alive?"

Yale's eyes widened, staring intently at the huge light cocoon. Compared with the earth's close-up observation, he could vaguely see the inside of the sun, where the outline of a giant life form was dormant.

Could it be that this is the place to be sealed this time?

It's too embarrassing. Going into the sun alone, not to mention twelve lives, a hundred lives can't stand such a toss.

If so, find an excuse to push it.

"..."

His Majesty the Deputy Emperor turned his head, his eyes seemed to pass through the endless void, and he saw the inner thoughts of the black-haired knight, and then a smile of understanding appeared on his face:

"Don't get me wrong, this is not the place you are going to seal."

"That minister really saved his life."

Yale's tense mood suddenly loosened. He carefully observed the inside of the sun and couldn't help sighing: "I never imagined that I could see the sun every day, and it turned out to be a living being."

"That's not alive, he has already died, and has been dead for more than a thousand years." Alex turned his eyes back to the scorching sun, and said in a trance:

"This is a self-seal... The founder of the empire, the ending chosen by Emperor Agarik, when he was dying, he merged one-third of his true body with the sun and illuminated the earth forever.

At the same time, it also serves as the ultimate shackle to block the mirror of the sky, locking the sealer, the time giant, in his own brilliance. Sir Bernstein, the name of the sealed place you are going to is the Sky Mirror, which is the place where that guy sleeps. "

"What do I need to do?"

The black-haired knight took a deep breath of light air, tried to calm down, and digested the shocking information revealed by the other party.

"Every thirty years or so, the brilliance of the sun will have a short gap, and in this short period of time, the consciousness of the sealer will wake up slightly."

"You want me to defeat him?" Yale looked at the emperor eagerly.

"No, you can't defeat him, and you can't defeat a sealer, even if it's just a trace of his consciousness."

Alex shook his head grimly, his eyes became extremely sharp:

"It's a torrent of memories, and it won't cause any damage in itself. All you have to do is let him continue to immerse himself in his dreams and be unwilling to wake up."

"me?"

The black-haired knight pointed to himself, showing a confused expression:

"Whether he wants to wake up or not has nothing to do with me, if you want him to continue to sleep, just don't disturb that guy's sleep, won't it?"

"Because that guy is a militant, and he is even more obsessed with fighting after 'Heart Destruction', so the sealed land is injected with the power of Figre's death, and the battle of the mountains and blood is maintained in the dream. All you have to do is The guy was slightly awake for a while, so he continued to mistakenly think that he was still in a dream."

His Majesty the Deputy Emperor took out a white metal ball from his pocket and flattened it in front of Yalei:

"This is a sealed star instrument. A trace of my power has been injected into it. If there is any accident, it can bring you back intact."

"The minister takes orders."

The black-haired knight took the sealed star instrument, held it in his hands like a treasure, and then looked around:

"How do I enter the Sealed Land?"

"look up."

Alex raised the index finger of his right hand and pointed to the depths of the blue sky: "Since it is the realm of the sky, of course it is here."

"above?"

Yale raised his head, the sky was intertwined with light and shadows, instantly filled with thunder and fire, and it was instantly dark in the turbulent storm, echoing with the rumbling sound of thunder. Mixed with some kind of long and loud strange rhythm, the darkness tumbled and retreated to the surroundings, revealing a bottomless vortex.

Suddenly, the black-haired knight saw a dark red land appearing inside the vortex, and then a dark red light beam was cast in the vortex, covering his body and slowly pulling it inside.

"One month there is close to one day in the world. You have time to study Hurricane Phantom, and take care of yourself all the way." His Majesty the Deputy Emperor waved at Yalei's figure.

After swallowing the figure of the black-haired knight, the vortex slowly closed and closed, and the sky also returned to calm.

...

A flash of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, cutting through the sky where the smoke was steaming.

In the dark red sky, the huge black crack slowly spewed out red mist, which filled the whole world. The brilliance of the sun was blocked by a layer of gray-black fog. In the sky, there were no stars, only a red sky like blood.

Bloody raindrops fell from the air, dripping onto the red-black soil, making the dry and hard clods slightly moist.

The whole world was surrounded by a gray fog, and the outside of the fog was endless golden light. As the lightning fell, the black-haired knight fell from the sky with his mouth covered, and fell into an arched crater.

A few minutes later, he turned out of the crater with a gray face and looked around. There was a sloping flat land that lowered down. There were no plants, no buildings, and no life on the ground. The entire sealed land looked like a dead silence. wilderness.

"Is this the mirror of the sky?"

Yalei stood alone on the ground, leaned over and picked up a dry clod, kneaded it into powder, watched the debris slowly flow from between his fingers, and slowly exhaled:

"It's just a rubble of death."

After briefly observing the scenery of the Sealed Land, the black-haired knight checked the food and water that had been prepared, and quickly climbed down the volcano, trying to find the core area of ​​the Sealed Land.

"Try the results of studying Hurricane Phantom in the past few days."

Looking at the boundless wilderness, Yale squinted his eyes, his body tensed like a spring, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his figure suddenly disappeared in a flash, leaving only a vague phantom that slowly disappeared into the dark red space. .

After running more than 100 miles in one breath, the black-haired knight's legs became more and more steady during the violent run, and the footprints on the ground were extremely flat one after another.

Slowing down a little, Yale only felt that the muscles all over his body were bulging, his hands and feet were slightly hot, and he immediately opened his mouth to take a deep breath, stirring his entire chest as if sealing a box.

Suddenly, a cyan light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. As the cyan light turned into a style, the speed of the black-haired knight accelerated again, and this time, a shadow appeared.

After half a day, the black-haired knight slowed down again, turning from running to trotting. The muscles of the whole body vibrated slightly, and the blue-colored fighting qi roamed all over the body, activating every muscle that was beginning to fatigue, and at the same time, his breathing was consciously suppressed and thin and long.

Ten minutes later, his breath slowly subsided, and at the same time the muscles stopped vibrating, a long mouthful of turbid air spewed out of his body.

"I haven't reached the periphery yet. Could it be that I took the wrong path? Or, in this sealed land, there is no difference between the periphery and the core at all?"

Yale stopped, glanced at the horizon that still stretched back indefinitely, took out the concentrated food and water from the suitcase, ate two or three mouthfuls, and sank into the state of studying hurricane phantoms again.

After another day, the black-haired knight still couldn't find a way out in the wilderness, so he completely slowed down and began to practice the rest of the Hurricane Phantom's skills.

As time passed, just when Yale almost forgot to look for the core area, a half-buried weathered altar appeared in his sight.

All around the altar is dark red fine sand. There are several fan-shaped stone tablets on the sand. We can still see the remaining characters. The sloping surface of the altar is full of bones and gravel.

Some decorative short pillars were also smashed and torn down, and the entire altar was in a mess without the slightest trace of people.

"This... wouldn't it be the core area of ​​the Sealed Land?"

The black-haired knight dropped the boots that were too worn to the shape of shoes, walked across the sand with bare feet, walked to the edge of the altar, and found that the style of the entire altar was similar to the altar on the top floor of the Ascension Hall.

"But there doesn't seem to be any energy fluctuations."

Yale jumped over and jumped onto the surface of the altar. Just as he stepped on the edge of the altar, a gray beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, just not far in front of the black-haired knight, turning into a blurred image of light and shadow. .
