Everything was as Lucius said, the area of ​​lightning wasn't that big, but it took several hours to pass safely.Musha and Lucius took turns to consume energy to protect the hull from damage, and they were a little tired after relaxing.When they stopped arguing, the flying boat with only three people seemed particularly dull.

When Timir checked the flight map of Wangyou City with the automatic controller on the ship, he unexpectedly found that the controller was completely out of control and could not display the current position of the flying ship at all.This is quite a dangerous thing.The airship was covered in clouds and fog, and it was impossible to tell the difference between east, west, and north. Without the guidance of the controller, once the airship ran out of energy, it would float forever in the mist, unable to return to any port in Spres.

Regarding this, although Lucius showed a worried expression, he was not particularly nervous.Musha was even more calm. When he had nothing to do, he either sat on the deck and watched the unpredictable clouds and mist, or condensed the water polo from time to time to find out if there was a nearby flying port.Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Timir had no choice but to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

The airship drifted aimlessly in the sea of ​​clouds for three days before sailing into an unknown area again.Timir was the first to notice the abnormality. The environment around the hull hardly changed, but the color of the clouds and mist was no longer pure white, but slightly gray.As the airship penetrated into this area, a sense of lifelessness enveloped Timir—it seemed a little too quiet, even the sound of the parts of the airship moving, but the sound of his every move was amplified a lot , making people very uncomfortable.

"The controller of the flying boat is broken, and the energy device has stopped delivering energy..." Musha showed a trace of surprise on his face, "But the boat is still moving."

Lucius' eyes flashed red, but he did not forget to hold Timir's hand: "The City of Forgetfulness is nearby."

Timir listened carefully, and sure enough, as Musha said, the hull of the flying ship has completely stopped automatic operation, but it is still moving forward at a leisurely pace, and it is not known whether it is caused by the direction of the air flow in the air, or something else.If it is said that the power of Wangyou City is secretly guiding... Could it be said that Wangyou City is waiting for Timir and the others to come?

The clouds and mist on both sides of the flying boat gradually faded, but the bottom of the hull gradually condensed into a thick liquid like water. The flying boat completely lost the ability to fly, and slowly moved forward in the water.When the bow breaks through the water, the sound is so real, it's as if the long air flight before was just a dream.The sky became very dark, but there was still a little light that made it difficult to see the nearby objects clearly.Timir stood at the bow of the boat, Lucius and Musha stood behind him respectively, and they waited quietly for the boat to sail to the end.

I don't know how long it took, but Timir noticed that the shadow in the distance became clearer and clearer, and finally saw a huge city standing not far ahead.As the distance shortened, the appearance of the big city gradually became clear.The majestic and towering city gate stands tall and straight, and there is no end to the left and right sides of the city wall that is at least a hundred people high.Timir looked at the city that suddenly appeared, and felt that this was the end of the journey, and there was nowhere to escape.

The gate of the city gate seemed to anticipate the arrival of guests, and there was a rattling sound. The thick stone gate opened to both sides, and the airship immediately successfully entered the port along the waterway.

"Guests from afar, welcome to the city of Wangyou." The clear and cold voice sounded in time, but it seemed to come from everywhere at the same time, making it impossible to tell where the speaker was.After the voice fell, the stone gate slowly closed, blocking the only escape route for Timir and the others.

The lights on both sides of the road turned on in an instant, leading straight ahead, as if replacing the welcoming messengers.As the lights came on, Timir was almost dazzled. The exquisite buildings exuded brilliance under the lights, and the walls were inlaid with countless jewels. Even the few fences at the port It is made of coral and pearls, so delicate and delicate that people can't put it down.

"There is no life in this city." Musha closed his eyes for a long time before opening his mouth. His face was shrouded in a faint holy silver light, making it difficult to see his facial features clearly, as if he was using divine power.

Timir collected himself and walked forward.Lucius and Musha's footsteps followed closely behind, which made him feel relieved.

The road pointed by the lights leads straight to a gorgeous palace. Since the city of Wangyou is quite large, Timir can only vaguely judge that it is about a few kilometers away.

The road under the feet is paved with special stone materials, and the natural patterns are not inferior to artificial carvings. When the footsteps step on, there will be a crisp sound, and then echoes endlessly in the empty city of Wangyou.

On the way from the port to the palace, Timir saw a treasure tree entwined with gold and silver threads, with colorful gem fruits hanging on it, lifelike statues made of beautiful jade, and head-sized pearls that can be seen everywhere... …

"It's really rich. The lord of this city of forgetting worries seems to know how to enjoy it..." Lucius' tone was a bit strange: "But where did everyone go?"

"Vulgar!" Musha retorted unceremoniously: "The most beautiful thing is not a lifeless dead thing, but a natural beauty full of vitality."

"...sissy, I can't see it, you seem to have good taste~ Are the worshipers of the Watching Temple all saints who don't eat the fireworks of the world?" Lucius dragged his voice, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

When Musha saw Lucius' appearance, he was full of anger: "You humble monster, in your brain full of blood and carrion, what else is left but greed?"

"Stop arguing..." Timmel felt a little headache, the quarrel between Lucius and Musha seemed to have escalated, and even the language of the attacking dialogue had been enriched a lot.

Musha and Lucius snorted at the same time, then turned their faces away.

The distance of a few thousand meters is not too long, but it still takes about an hour to walk with both feet. When finally reaching the palace stairs, Timir involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.In such a dull place, it seems that the physical strength is exhausted very quickly, and it is really hard to cheer up.

"The honored guest from afar, please forgive me for not being able to greet him!" This time Timir heard it clearly. Although the voice seemed to be coming from all directions at the same time, it was obvious that the voice coming from the direction of the palace would be stronger.

"Excuse me, are you the lord of Wangyou City?" Timir turned around and exchanged looks with Musha and Lucius before speaking first.

"Yes..." The city lord, who has never shown his face, sighed softly: "A distinguished guest from afar, this place used to be the paradise that all adventurers hoped to find, but now it is shrouded in death and loneliness... I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. After chatting, can you tell me about the outside world?"

"..." Timmir frowned and said, "City Master, I have been entrusted to bring the Hero Sword. Please tell us how we can help you lift the curse."

"Hero Sword?!..." The voice of the city lord trembled, and he murmured several times in disbelief: "God, are you teasing me? It's obviously a punishment of eternal life..."

Hearing the city lord's tone, Musha seemed to be full of disrespect to God, so he immediately stopped in front of Timir, holding his staff horizontally to guard: "As soon as I entered the city of Wangyou, I checked to see if there were any living beings, but except for a bunch of Dead things, nothing... What the hell are you?"

"..." The city lord was silent, and it took a long time before he replied: "Guests from afar, please come in. When you see me, you will know what happened..."

Musha put down his staff hesitantly, but still stood in front of Timir, he was a little undecided for a while.

"Even if it's not a living thing, it's not a big deal." Lucius stretched lazily and walked ahead.Timir thought for a while and went around behind Musha to chase Lucius, but Musha had to follow after seeing him.

Walking along the gorgeous carpet that has been laid from the stairs to the end, Timir saw a hall similar to a meeting hall, with neat chairs lined up on both sides of the hall, and a luxurious table at the end facing the door. Throne of wrath.The golden throne is made of pure gold, and the surface is inlaid with countless diamonds, emeralds, and mica.As long as a tiny beam of light shines on it, the throne can immediately emit bright brilliance.Sitting on the throne is a black marble figure. The headgear and clothing are extremely similar to the real person. Although it also reflects beautiful reflections, it is very uncomfortable.

"My honored guest from afar, in front of you is a poor man who has been imprisoned for hundreds of years..." The jaw of the marble figure suddenly moved, and he said in a sad tone: "He once swore to be loyal to God forever, but fell in love with God. Lost the inheritor of the Temple of Sprees Watch, and even gave the inheritor the heroic sword bestowed by the gods as a vow of love. Lost the heroic sword that maintains the source of life in the city of Wangyou, people with eternal youth one after another When you die, the springs that automatically pour out the wine and fresh milk dry up, and the city of forgetfulness, full of happiness, is shrouded in death..."

Musha interrupted Gavin's narration in surprise: "I have seen a record in the Overwatch Temple. The sinner who was favored by the gods but broke his oath lost the hero sword. From then on, the theocratic power and kingly power of Spreiss are no longer compatible... The Heroic Sword was not in the hands of the inheritor, but drifted to Sples and became the sword of the first king of the island. It is said that the first king was brave and strong, and led the residents of the island to fight against the invasion of monsters. The pious islanders who believe in gods have been greatly reduced...even the power of faith that seals the dark king Drake has also been weakened."

"I obviously..." Gavin's tone was unspeakably weird, but he swallowed half of what he said. "Yeah?"

"Presumably everything was arranged by God to make you confess your mistakes, and then let the new inheritor relieve your suffering." Musha looked at Timir and suddenly said with a smile.

Lucius sneered, and suddenly changed the topic elsewhere: "Master Gavin, where are the adventurers who came here before? Are they all dead?"

"Yes, there is no food here, and they no longer have the ability to stay young forever. They go crazy in loneliness, and they will only die in the end!" Gavin briefly explained a few words and stopped answering.

"So, what should I do now?" Timir untied the cloth strip on the hero's sword, the cyan streamer was extraordinarily bright in the city of Wangyou, and the sword trembled faintly, as if he was happy to return to his homeland.

"There is a dry fountain at the back of the main hall. As long as you insert the hero sword into the spout in the middle, the pool will be filled with fresh milk and fine wine again... As long as the city of Wangyou regains the source of life, everything will return to its original state...including I'm inside!" Gavin said affirmatively.

Timir's ears twitched, the city lord in front of him was punished for keeping watch over the inheritor of the temple, so would it be God's forgiveness for him, the future inheritor, to rescue him?
