Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1668 Palace on the Hill
The backstage of the players in the boundless arena.

This is probably the most peaceful player backstage in the Rising Star Competition so far.Nearly a hundred contestants sat or stood in the huge space, or leaned against the wall and looked down, or suspended in mid-air in silence.

Even the most thorny guy didn't dare to make a move at this time.Because, the captains of the four law enforcement teams, each based in the four directions, although they did not release their coercion, their sinister gaze swept over everyone, making people feel chills down their spines.

"If anyone causes trouble at this time, no matter how legitimate your reasons are, I will directly disqualify you from the award." The one who spoke was one of the four captains of the law enforcement team, a hunchbacked wizard with a wand, his skin drooping and hugging Gravity, but the eyes hidden behind the old skin are still gloomy.

They came to participate in the Rising Star Competition in order to be eligible to enter the Endless Corridor.If you are disqualified, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life.

Therefore, under this kind of threat, no one dared to pick things up lightly.

Although there were rare signs of peace in the backstage of the players, it was not quiet.What the captain of the law enforcement asked was not to cause trouble, and did not prohibit them from communicating, so taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the players are also interacting.

For example, in the southeast corner, there are two people communicating silently.

"You seem to be restless these days. If you have something on your mind, why don't you tell me?" Selum hugged Heidian, crouched in the corner, and looked at Nausicaa who was shrouded in smoke on the other side.

Hesitation flashed across Nausicaa's face, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head: "I have nothing, but you, I thought you would always be addicted to your own emotions, but I didn't expect you to have the mood to pay attention to other people. So you're not sad anymore?"

Sai Lumu's eyes were slightly sad, and the hand holding Heidian tightened a little: "Since Heidian told Angel that he will come back, then I... believe him."

Nausicaa held the bong horizontally, and exhaled a puff of rose-scented smoke: "He will come back, and he will become stronger, and will become your most solid arm."

"I hope so." Serum paused: "Compared to my affairs, I am more curious about you now. Don't change the subject, I don't believe you have nothing."

"...Is it because of Reynolds?"

After a moment of silence, Nausicaa admitted: "It is indeed related to him. He... invited me to do something, and I was thinking about whether to do it."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Everything has risks, it's just a question of whether you can afford it." Nausicaa's eyes were a little hazy, and she didn't know whether it was because of the smoke or her confusion.

"Then can you bear it? Or, if you pay the price, what can you get?" Sai Lumu asked.

"I don't know, because there is a restricted area full of unknowns. It may be extremely risky, or there may be no risk. Reynolds escaped from that place. His goal is to destroy it, and my goal is to destroy it. One thing." After Nausicaa finished speaking, she looked at Salum and suddenly burst into laughter.

She found that she was not as courageous as Sai Lumu now.

Nausicaa flicked her ears and hair, and Serum dared to merge with the blue blood for the chance of almost dying.As for himself, he was hesitant even to choose between these two options.

Thinking of this, Nausicaa was still a little hesitant in her heart, but now she has some bias.

Serum didn't know what Nausicaa was feeling, he followed her words and asked, "What is it?"

Nausicaa hesitated for a moment, but said, "What I want is the one in that laboratory..."

Nausicaa was interrupted in the middle of her speech because there was a commotion not far away.They looked over and found that there was a huge door out of thin air in the middle of the players' backstage.

This door is slowly opening at this moment.

With the opening of the door, a dazzling white light shines from the inside.

When everyone was wondering what the meaning of this door was, a deep and elegant female voice came to everyone's ears: "The contestants are starting to enter."

At the same time, the hunchbacked old wizard also said: "Don't be dazed, it's time to go in. The last ceremony is the path of glory behind this door."

Road to Glory?While Nausicaa was still thinking about what this meant, the door was completely opened.

Under the crowd, Nausicaa and Sai Lumu were pushed into the door one after another.The previous conversation was also forced to stop.

When Nausicaa stepped out from the crowd, she had time to observe the surrounding situation.

Clear blue sky, no clouds in sight.Without the cover of clouds, the sun shines directly down, illuminating the land in golden yellow.

The place where they are now is a somewhat deserted square.Although the ground has begun to crack, it is still very flat, with some artificial patterns.

Every player is observing the surrounding situation, and finally everyone's eyes are gathered in front of the square.

A road full of tall stone pillars.

This road leads directly to the top of the mountain not far away. There are many stone pillars more than ten meters high along the way, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there is a huge palace.The palace seems to be made of metal, and it looks a little reflective from a distance.

At the main entrance of the palace, there is a vague figure, but it is not known who it is.

"This is the road to glory?" Nausicaa muttered to herself when a gust of wind suddenly blew over.

The sun shone directly on the skin, which made it slightly hot.This sudden wind brought a strange coolness.

Nausicaa looked towards the place where the wind was blowing, but saw a light screen appearing in the center of the square out of thin air in the sky.The movement of the light screen brought a gust of cool wind, as if to remind everyone to pay attention to this side.

When everyone looked over, a line of words appeared on the light screen.

——Welcome to the road of glory.

The typography reveals where they are, but, beyond that, there is no other information.

Everyone doesn't know what to do next, are they just looking at each other here?Or do you want to climb this road of glory and go to the top of the mountain?
When everyone was wondering, the characters on the light screen slowly changed.

"The 100th place in the Rising Star Competition, Shadow of the Sky."

With the appearance of this row of writing, the center of the light screen was like the surface of water, a ripple appeared, and a card with a faint light floated out of the light screen.

Blowing by gusts of cool wind, this card fluttered down, swirled a few times in the air, and finally fell into the hands of a young man in blue clothes in the corner.

Someone nearby knew this young man and discussed in a low voice: "I fought him before, and he is the shadow of the sky."

This card was obviously blown into Kong Zhiying's hand on purpose. Could it be that this is the reward that belongs to Kong Zhiying?
There are people who are familiar with the shadow of the sky and want to come forward to ask.However, the shadow of the sky did not answer, holding the card and pondering for a moment, as if receiving some information.

After a while, the shadow of the sky suddenly moved.

Came to the edge of the square.

Before, this square was sealed off by a strange force. Although you could see the situation outside, you couldn't go out.

However, Kong Zhiying broke this confinement, he was not restricted by the enchantment of the square, and walked out of the square easily.

And, there seems to be a goal.

Without hesitation, he ran towards the road leading to the top of the mountain.
