Chapter 330: Lanqi's sudden confrontation with Bishop of Silence

Bandera, a city where grandeur and history dance together, is surrounded by frozen land and snow-capped mountains.

No matter in the morning or afternoon, there is only the sparse light from the snowy area, which covers the cold and hard dark gray stone with a faint silver-white luster. The ruggedness and scratches are all traces of time. The story of the holy war that has continued to this day seems to be awakened and begins to whisper in the wind.

“…”

Lanqi and Sid heard the drum and orchestra war songs becoming clearer and clearer in their ears, passing through the layers of Bandera City's barriers.

The city gate was heavily guarded. After verifying the identities of Lanqi and Sid, the silent imperial officer let them enter Bandera.

When the two of them walked out of the corridor of the city gate.

Step into the upper echelons of the city-state.

The guards and officers behind them seemed to still be staring at them.

"Are there any abnormalities among these imperial troops?"

Lanqi looked at the tall towers of Bandera city in the distance and asked Sid beside him softly.

The appearance of the city-state was strongly influenced by the ancient Herromian architectural style, with towering spires, exquisite stained glass and intricate stone carvings everywhere. The city walls were solid and thick, with a tower or arrow tower at regular intervals.

The streets are wide and winding, and the buildings on both sides are very tall, as if competing for the limited sunlight.

"No."

Sid's expression was calm.

Despite this, she did sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere of this city-state.

The two walked along the road for a long time and had not seen any residents yet.

However, they were located in the upper part of the city-state with different heights. If they looked carefully to the side of the street they were walking on, they would find that the road was actually a wide suspension bridge, and they could see the lower part of the city-state from the side.

The snowflakes in the sky drifted down with the wind, passing by the suspension bridge, and fell into the lower level of Bandra City after floating for a long time.

Standing on the upper level and looking down at the lower level which is sixty to seventy meters higher, it is like looking down at the earth from the clouds. Finally, you can see small markets and shops. Residents walk by from time to time, and everything from food to magic devices can be found there.

Lanqi put on a pendant, which was not made of a gem, but a small magic device that could record the images he saw.

Its principle is similar to that of the Shadow World Recording Program of the Southern Continent, except that this magic device has a higher level of encryption. It not only saves images, but also records the surrounding environmental details and magic fluctuations.

"We might have to go check out the lower level."

On the dark grey stone-paved streets, Lanqi could only see patrols of the Imperial Army in heavy armor and clergy of the branch of Silence in robes. They didn't look like there was anything wrong with them, or rather, there was nothing wrong with them.

If something bad happened in the city-state, the best evidence might be found in its residents.

The path to the lower level may require walking some distance into the city before you can see the stairs, and if you want to jump down directly, you need extremely strong physical fitness or flying magic.

However.

Before Lanqi was aware of the subtle changes around him, a slender and powerful hand tightly locked his upper arm. The huge force that could easily crush his bones was still controlled very delicately by Sigrid and did not hurt him.

Lanqi tried to speak, but his words were instantly swallowed up by the powerful cold air current. The oppressive feeling from the air made him sure that he was once again brought to the sky by Sigrid.

But this time, the target was not deep in the city-state as Lanqi said.

Instead, West Germany took the initiative to run out of the city-state.

Although Lanqi was surprised, he did not question Sid's judgment.

"In this city-state, there are no living people except the priests of annihilation."

Sid's cold warning voice came to my ears.

Even those imperial troops at the city gate were probably elite troops from the Silent Branch in disguise.

“……!”

High in the sky, Lanqi's emerald eyes finally gradually saw the entire picture of the city of Bandera through the clouds.

Only the entrance where they were located was still peaceful; the depths of the city were already shrouded in an ominous darkness.

Everything in the center of the city blocked by the illusion is turbid and unclear, but even without seeing it with the eyes, one can feel that it is like a solar eclipse magic world gathered by corpses and undead spirits everywhere.

Dried limbs and broken arms were scattered in the collapsed buildings under the black fog. The corpses of the elderly, women and children were piled up together. The entire border city had become a place of death feast after the sacrifice. Under the shining pale sunlight, the suffocating absurdity and hallucination enveloped the entire city of Bandera.

Time seemed to be stretched, the sound of the wind became more harsh, and Lanqi's vision was blurred by the cold wind. Only Sid's hand still held him tightly, taking him quickly towards the border of the city-state.

Lanqi didn't say much. He knew he had to leave quickly without any communication.

Even though we have not yet reached the epicenter of the city-state's changes to obtain decisive evidence.

However, this was an incident on the northern border that was personally confirmed by Ba Jiaojiao. Once she informed the upper echelons of the empire, coupled with the high probability that Major General Fan Leiku was missing, the imperial capital would inevitably be in turmoil.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The sin that has been committed in the north cannot be buried and will be unearthed.

Just as Lanqi was thinking this, his eyes were immediately covered by a distorted transparent barrier!

Sigrid suddenly slowed down and stopped in mid-air.

She turned her eyes warily and caught a glimpse of a figure that suddenly appeared behind them.

"Well, you two, what do you think of this beautiful view?"

A smiling voice surrounded the sky above this city-state.

Lanqi also looked back following the discordant music.

Dark lead-gray clouds rolled in the sky, and the city of Bandera was immersed in a dead silence. From time to time, lightning surged between the winter clouds, illuminating the huge buildings in the clouds in a pale white.

Standing on the top stand of the spire building that towers into the sky in Bandra City, a tall man in a dark gray coat was watching them.

His skin was as pale as snow, without a trace of blood.

Apart from the suffocating magic that emanated from him lightly, when he sealed the space around the two of them, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to have stagnated at this moment, emitting a deep light all around, with thousands of dark stars dancing in it, like a living magical body that did not exist in the space but could directly strike the eyes and attack the mind.

If ordinary people with weak mental strength faced this halo that struck the soul for the first time, they might feel that they had established an indescribable connection with the world, and in an instant they experienced a long journey that transcended the body and time.

In the end, he became completely stunned, fell to his knees and even burst into tears.

The swirling characters do not belong to any known era, and only those who have seen the remains of the Age of Gods will know their meaning.

This is exactly the aura that is emitted when the [Original Slate] is blessed.

And this stone tablet that can bless the sealing magic has already explained the identity of its owner.

As if sensing Lanci's gaze, the man turned to look at Lanci.

Those dark grey eyes were like an abyss that could make people indulge in them and gradually lose their souls.

Asksan looked at the two of them with a smile.

When he stood there, the invisible terror emanating from his body only made living beings feel humble and helpless, and when he moved, all sense of stability would collapse because of him.
