Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1215 The Abandoned City
On the barren and barren mountains, there is a complex of buildings made of black lava.

The monotonous colors, as well as the surrounding bare mountains, filled the complex with a dead atmosphere.

Even if you just take a look from a distance, you can find that this is definitely an abandoned building.

There are collapsed and broken stones everywhere, the mottled walls are covered with cracked lines, and all the painted buildings are covered by the floating volcanic ash.

Gondola hovered in the sky for a while, and after confirming that it did not perceive danger, Angel and others jumped down.

The building complex was built from the mountainside to the top of the mountain. If you compare it with the city of the Canary Empire, this building area is estimated to be the size of an ordinary town.

After close contact, as they have seen before, it is dilapidated, vicissitudes, and dead.

Because the fire element in the air is very active, the young fire demon Greve quickly took advantage of these dancing flames to roam around most of the area.

"There are no signs of life, but there are a lot of bones." Greve said as he led Angel to a winding long street leading to the top of the mountain.

On this volcanic ash-covered street, there are skeletons everywhere, in different postures and in different ways of death.Some died by grabbing the ground with their heads, some skulls collapsed, and some bones were separated...

A skeleton near Angor, and even the entire spine was in a state of shattering, as if it fell from the sky and broke.

"The time of death is not the same age. This one has been dead for at least 500 years, but this one may be about 200 years old." Popota then pointed to the two skeletons in front of him that seemed to be close together. After dating, they even thought that they were close friends who died at the same time.

"Basically they are the aborigines of the abyss, and only a very small part are demons... No, the bones of half-blooded demons." Greewood also added.

Because Angel didn't know enough about the abyss, he didn't see too many superficial clues.

But as a traditional aristocrat, appreciation of art is compulsory, and architectural art is also a science.The architectural style here is obviously different from that of Castlevania. It is full of arcs and reliefs. These reliefs rarely involve religious significance, and are basically decorative patterns of life.

In terms of refinement, although it is not comparable to human countries, it is far more refined than Castlevania!
Moreover, the buildings here are very small, and the gates are similar to ordinary humans.

Therefore, there are various indications that before it was abandoned, this place was presumably the town of the abyssal aborigines.

"If it is the place where the abyss aborigines live, why are the bones here so strange, not to mention the different ways of death, and the time of death is also different... It's like, they died from other places, and then they were killed It's the same as it was moved here."

Because these skeletons have been dead for too long, many clues have been wiped out, and it is difficult to determine whether this is the first scene of death.

"Have you found any information about this place?" Angel asked.

Greewood said: "Some carvings say that this place is called Manotan. However, I have never heard of this name. As for other clues, there are no more clues."

"It seems that even if the artificial building is found, there is still nothing to gain." Bobota sighed, unable to determine the location, how could he leave?

Angel thought for a moment: "It's not completely fruitless, at least it's certain that this area used to be the area of ​​the abyssal aborigines."

After a pause, Angel looked at Greewood and asked, "I remember reading in a book that the natives of the abyss basically live on the surface of the abyss?"

Graywood nodded: "Yes, there are some good aborigines, and they occasionally appear in the inner layer, but I have never heard of building aboriginal settlements in the inner layer... Moreover, according to According to the Abyss Treaty, the aborigines' settlements are basically limited to the surface of the abyss, or even the most surface area."

"Congealing Abyss Treaty?"

"The treaty drafted by the Abyss Demon Eye mainly focuses on the offensive and defensive restrictions of the demons and the abyss aborigines. However, few demons will abide by it..." Greewood explained.

"It's the Abyss Condensing Demon Eye again. He is quite idle." It was Bobota who spoke, because the Lord of the Abyss wanted to seize the power of the Abyss Condensing Demon Eye. understand.

Greve gave Popota a blank look, and looked at Angor: "Shopkeeper, you asked about the gathering place of the aborigines, which means that this should be the surface of the abyss?"

Angor nodded.

"It's quite possible, but I know very little about the surface of the abyss. Lord Aurusia may know something, but it hasn't woken up yet."

"It's okay, let's go on. Maybe we will find out later."

Since he didn't get too many clues here, Angel didn't continue to wander, but drove the gondola and continued heading southeast.

Perhaps it was entering the "formerly civilized area", but in the following journey, there were no volcanoes and lavas, and it was basically rolling hills, or endless wilderness.

"I always find the bones in that town a bit strange. If someone outsider moved them there, wouldn't it be too troublesome? If they weren't removed by outsiders, would they have appeared there by themselves?" Popota wondered road.

Bobota's doubts are destined to be unanswered.

Time passed, and half an hour later, they saw a second town built around the hill.

However, like the Manotan I encountered for the first time before, this small town named Shuitan is also abandoned and covered with a large number of bones.

As for other clues, there are still no clues.

Then they encountered several deserted aboriginal gathering places, but they were basically the same as before, the only difference was the type of bones.

Among them, what surprised them most was that they saw human skeletons.

And not just one.

Judging by the quality of the bones, the strength of these human skeletons may not have been too high during their lifetime.Most of the bones do not contain energy properties, which means that they are probably low-level apprentices during their lifetime.Of course, it is also possible to be a mortal, but the probability of a mortal appearing in the abyss is extremely small.

One thing can also be judged from this, this place is definitely somewhere on the surface of the abyss.

Because middle and low-level apprentices, it is impossible to go to the inner floor, and even rarely go to the second floor of the abyss.Basically, they are all on the surface of the abyss.

That is to say, this might be a subsidiary space in the outermost layer of the abyss, or a void continent?
When Angor guessed this way, they saw another abandoned city.

Maybe it's because of the child's curiosity, Greewood is the most active in exploring, and Angor has no expectations for these cities. Anyway, even if he finds the name of the city, he doesn't know where it is.

However, Greewood brought a surprise this time.

A white bone in a tattered wizard robe lay in front of Angel.

This is what Greve found from this city called "Jistan".

"There are still some human bones inside, but there is an iconic emblem on this bone. I think you may recognize it, so I brought it out." Greewood pointed to the side of the wizard's robe, where there is a very unique Signet.

A golden witch flower.

The witch flower is a kind of alchemy magic material. It looks like a rose, and its color is indeed black and red. It looks like a charming witch.The medicines and fragrances based on it basically have the effect of correcting the skin.Some medicines to maintain the appearance, the witch flower is essential, because it is sought after by witches, and the people who use the witch flower are mainly women, so it is called the "witch" flower.

Angel knows the Witch Flower.But he had never heard of an organization that used the golden witch flower as its emblem.

Angor looked at Popota. Popota had been in the wizarding world for a long time longer than him. Maybe he found something.

Popota looked at the emblem for a long time, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have seen this emblem somewhere, it seems to be a mark of a wizarding organization... However, it doesn't seem to belong to the wizarding world of the Southern Region."

"Isn't it the wizarding organization of the wizarding community in the Southern Region?" Angel looked at Popota: "Are you sure?"

Popota shook his head, "I just have an impression, but I can't be sure."

Angel frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Greewood: "Are there any abyssal aboriginals in the face of other phases?"

Graywood nodded: "Yes, but just like the barren surface, according to the Abyss Treaty, these aborigines basically live on the surface of the abyss."

Angel rubbed between his eyebrows: "If there are aborigines on the faces of other aspects, then we shouldn't have reached the faces of other aspects, right?"

Popota didn't know what the so-called phase face was, and looked at Angel with a puzzled expression.

Angel briefly explained the pattern of the abyss, and then looked at Greewood, hoping to get an answer from the demon noble.

Greewood hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Probably not. If you want to go to other aspects, basically the only way is the phase gate. And the phase gates are all guarded by demon lords, so they should still be on the barren side." .”

If it didn't go to the face of other phases, then the skeleton in front of me, could it come from the face of other phases?
But, how did he cross the plane of phase and come here?

Angel didn't figure it out in the end, so he could only continue on the road with doubts.

This time, they flew for nearly an hour before seeing the new buildings again.As before, Greevel was excited to explore, while Angel frowned, looking at the town on the wasteland.

This wasn't the largest building complex they encountered, but it gave Angel a strange sense of strangeness.

"What's wrong with you?" Popota looked at Angel suspiciously.

Angel looked towards the edge of the wasteland under the rain: "I just vaguely feel that the calling seems to be getting closer... Maybe it's in this wasteland."

……

"Shopkeeper! I found two corpses!"

When Angor felt the "call" silently, Greve's voice suddenly came.

At first Angor didn't take it seriously, but soon, Greve's second voice came: "It's a fresh corpse! And, it's human!"

Hearing this, Angel and Popota looked at each other, and flew off the boat without hesitation.
