Chapter 1750: Ranger

The wind howled, cold and piercing.

Of course, for the three of Allen, this level of cold wind is nothing, even if they can freeze ordinary people to death in just a minute or two. Alice was walking across the stone bridge over the abyss. Today, she was wearing a long dress decorated with star diamonds. The wind blew the skirt as she walked, like a changing nebula.

Alan and Shanna followed behind her, passing the bridge of the abyss, and the wind blew from the abyss under the bridge like a roar from hell.

They walked before the black door, which was still closed tightly, and various strange sounds could be faintly heard from inside the door. The bug swarm that Alice released before is now in the black gate. They have entered a deep sleep, and only some of them are responsible for protecting the black gate and patrolling the ruins.

Alice spread her hands in front of the door, a silver light glowed on her chest, and quicksilver-like things protruded from her chest, twisted together like tentacles, and stretched towards the relief on the door. These tentacles landed on the relief, and the lines of the relief were lit up, and then the door opened to both sides. As soon as the two extremely heavy black doors were moved, they rubbed against each other to make a dull sound, and a strong air gushed out from the door, causing the three of them to squint their eyes.

The black door opened a passage and then stopped. Although it was only a crack in the door, it was wide enough for a carriage to pass by. Alice made way sideways and said, "His Royal Highness, please."

Allen did his part and walked into the passage in the door. Even though it was only a short period, when you look up, you can see the doors on both sides are soaring, and there is only a gap in the sky. Then when passing through the black gate, the field of vision suddenly became brighter.

Behind the door is a high slope. From here, one can see rolling hills and lava rivers flowing through the ground. Bubbles are constantly emerging from the lava rivers, and the smell of sulfur fills the entire space here.

Far away, is a volcano. Smoke billows from the crater, and flames spew out from time to time. Occasionally, magma gushes out from the crater, and then flows to the foot of the mountain along with the mountain.

Alice pointed to the volcano: "We have to go there."

Allen nodded, and Alice led the way. They walked on the hot ground, they had to cross the river of magma that was enough to burn bones and flesh, and they had to turn over hills. Of course, these are nothing to the three of them. In the past, Alice came to the Black Gate to activate Queen Garter, and it took two days to walk from the Black Gate to the volcano. It was just that she was not in a hurry that day, and now the three of them sped up their speed a little, and it only took half a day to reach the foot of the volcano.

Walking from the cave at the foot of the mountain to the inside is a winding downward passage. After passing through the passage, Allen came to the underground hall, which remained the same, but the moss piled up into balls had disappeared. Only the magma lake, the magma inside is still hot and overflowing.

There is a platform in the middle of the lake.

There are stone pillars between the platform and the lake shore. Alice asked Allen to wait on the shore, she walked up the stone pillar, and came to the platform in the lake briskly. Now the column on the platform has sunk, and Queen Garter has been sealed under the platform again. Alice knelt on the ground, her chest lit up, those silvery mercury-like tentacles protruded again, landed on the platform, and gradually spread. There seemed to be a piece of silver moss on the platform. When the silver moss covered the platform, the magma lake began to boil.

Booming tremors sounded from the bottom of the lake, and the magma in the lake seemed to be pouring into other places, falling rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. So Allen on the shore saw that the platform in the lake turned out to be a stone pillar as thick as a mountain!

From the edge of the platform, there was a stone step extending down around the stone pillar, and Alice asked the two of them to come to the platform. The silver threads on the platform had all been retracted into her body, and the platform returned to its original shape. Allen and Shanna passed those stone pillars to the platform, and then followed Alice down the spiral staircase of the platform.

The stone steps of the spiral staircase are not smooth, they are full of pits and magma remains. As soon as they stepped on it, blue smoke rose, but for the three of them, the magma was like stepping on a hot spring.

Below the round platform, it can be seen that the magma is rapidly dissipating, revealing a circular arch-shaped terrain. The arch end is located at the stone pillar of the round platform, and the terrain makes the magma spread quickly. The rock wall of this round platform stone pillar has fallen off in some places, exposing the reddish spar inside. It turned out that there was a huge crystal inside. Looking in from the translucent crystal wall of the crystal, one can vaguely see the huge body of Queen Garter inside.

On that day, Alice and Queen Garter merged into one, and released the swarm to attack the Shadow Kingdom. It took Allen to pull her out of the Queen's body before Alice regained her senses. Now that Queen Garter is sealing it again, if it is not necessary, Alice would not want to return to it again

.

It has been half an hour since I set foot on the ground, and at the other end of the arched ground, there is an arch. Alice walked towards the arch and led Alan and the two through a passage. At the end of the passage is another stone door. The appearance of the door is the same as that of the black door, but the scale has been reduced countless times.

Open the door, behind the door is an open underground space. Although it is underground, it is definitely not dark. On the dome of this huge mountainside, a fire flickered. Allen looked up, and there was an unimaginably huge crystal layer on the dome, and above the crystal layer was the magma flowing in the volcano. I don't know what kind of material that layer of crystals is. For millions of years, magma has been allowed to flow on it, and there has been no erosion.

It seems that the thickness of the crystal layer is very limited, so the fire light in the magma can penetrate into the mountainside. The temperature in the mountainside is moderate. There are clusters of green plants growing on the stone pillars, and even shrubs can be seen and ferns. Apart from the absence of animals, it is almost the same as in the wild.

The terrain in the middle of the mountain is undulating, and a castle can be seen standing on a high slope from a distance. The castle is classically and majestic in shape, and the towering minarets, verandahs, reliefs, and guard walls are all clearly visible. I don't know what material the castle was built with, but it hasn't been damaged even after the passage of time.

"That is the legacy left by Mrs. Lan Jie." Alice looked at the castle with infinite longing: "That is the Castle of Twilight, and I was born in that castle. And witnessed with my own eyes that at dusk on a certain day, Lan Jie Master Jie sank it into the ground and asked me and the swarm to guard it. I thought that the creator wanted me to protect it until his return. But now I understand that his so-called return refers to the Son of Dawn, That is, Your Highness Allen."

"The creator said that when the dawn comes, he will return." Alice bowed her head, "I always thought that Lord Ranger would return again. But I didn't understand until Shanna told me, Lord Ranger Refers to another meaning.

"

"When the Son of Dawn arrives, his remaining will will be placed on the Son of Dawn to return. Therefore, Your Highness Allen, you can only go on your own for the rest of the journey."

Alan looked at her and said, “Aren’t you going in with me?”

Alice shook her head and smiled faintly: "I'm waiting here for Mr. Lan Jie's return."

Hearing what she said, Allen didn't force himself, and walked towards the castle by himself.

He walked faster and faster, and the ground quickly retreated under his feet. A moment later, he was already standing in front of the castle. The gate of the castle was closed. According to Alice's reminder when he came, Allen took out the devil's praise, he injected the source power, and the source device was activated. When the gray-white sword blade of Ash Hymn unfolded in the air, a striped road lit up on the castle, resonating with Ash Hymn.

Amidst a loud bang, the gate of the castle opened outwards, and a wind blew out from the gate, bringing out the stale air. Seen from the door, it is a deep passage, which seems to be a hall at the end. Both the passage and the hall are lit with light, and the light comes from the building itself.

This is completely different from the treasure house on Heavenly Star. This castle is far less magnificent than the treasure house on Heavenly Star. Strictly speaking, this castle only exists to preserve the will of the creator. That was the son of the twilight of a certain generation, and his name was Lan Jie.

Allen walked into the hall, and the hall was elegantly furnished. Regardless of the fireplace or the tables and chairs, Allen felt like returning to the eighteenth century. In front is a main staircase, which divides into two staircases leading to the second floor in the middle.

On the wall of the main stairway is a relief painting showing two armies fighting, and behind the armies, a light hangs down. At this moment, the fireplace suddenly burst into flames, and Allen turned his head to see that a man was stirring the firewood in the furnace. Allen calmed down before realizing that both the fire and the wood in the fireplace had some unreal feeling. Those were not real objects, but some kind of projection.

"Langjie?" Allen said, looking at the man.

This man has the same silver hair as Allen. When he heard Allen's voice and turned around, it turned out to be a face that was 70% similar to Allen. Looking at him with the same red pupils, Alan seemed to be looking at himself ten years later.

"Only the hymn of ashes can activate this castle, and only by activating the castle can my will be awakened. Then, you are the son of dawn, can you tell me your name?" The man stood up, wearing the ancient clothes on his body Clothing, very simple. As the Son of Twilight, he seemed to lack some of Taylor's majesty.

There is no aggressive air about him, he is easygoing like an ordinary man, a hostess who has guests at home. He walked over to a rocking chair and sat down, pointing to another chair for Allen to sit on.

"My name is Alan." After reporting his name, Alan walked to the chair, which was covered with thick dust.

Lan Jie shrugged: "It's been too long since no one took care of it, don't mind."

Allen smiled, put away the hymn of ashes, and stretched out his hand to flick it. A gust of wind blew across the chair, blowing away the dust on it, and he sat down.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. I originally thought that the Son of Dawn would be eager to receive my power." Lan Jie flipped his hand, and there was an extra pipe in his hand. He put it to his mouth, and smoke began to rise from the bong.
