Chapter 20: The Castle above the Lake of God's Fallen

It is about half a day away from Portral's west, and it is far away from the villages and towns around the royal city of Portral. It is a deserted land. Legend has it that it is the land that was hated by Mother Earth because the last god fell here.

Just getting a little closer to that forbidden land makes people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts that are indescribable. Dilapidated, desolate, and even the most tenacious and toughest weeds seem to be hiding from that place.

Like an invisible dividing line, the weeds on the outside are lush, but there is no grass growing even further. From a distance, the barriers are clearly distinguished, as if an invisible wall blocked the expansion of the spreading weeds.

"Where... is the Lake of God's Fallen?"

Bardo even muttered to himself in a daze as he looked at the deserted land not far away. The horse under his foot was moving carefully as if he was afraid of something.

This is a young man with a capable face. His young and handsome face has a trace of vicissitudes formed by the interaction between time and hardships, but even so, he still cannot hide the immature immatureness on his face.

The guardian knight who is only eighteen years old, the youngest guardian knight in all Truntuk.

This halo, which was originally a very proud, was now pressing heavily on his heart like a heavy burden.

In order to obtain the qualification of this guardian knight, he came alone to the barren land in the south of the kingdom for training since he was sixteen. His hard and intense combat life has trained him to be more mature and capable than other peers, but in contrast, he seems to have lost the life that some young people should have enjoyed.

Back to the capital, who had been away for two years, he suffered the biggest blow in his life. He was almost deprived of the qualification to protect the knight by an inexplicable guy, but it was this inexplicable guy who won him the last chance, which is why he appeared here.

No, although it is a little bit grateful, it was the guy's fault that caused this situation now?

It was a test for him to travel through the barren land to bring in the orc migration group that came to settle in the kingdom. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was not a big deal for Bardolian, who fought with fierce bandits in the wilderness all year round.

"What is that?"

The follower behind him suddenly screamed and called the young guardian knight back from his thoughts.

"What happened? Dalamensa."

He turned around with some dissatisfaction. The minion in this mission was not brought by Bardolian himself from his home. It was a minion specially assigned by Lord Peraodo, the leader of the first branch of the Knights of Wang Li.

Dalamensa is a man whose age is not obvious from his appearance. He looks about forty years old, but in fact, he may be in his twenties. He is short and short. Even if he is a dwarf, he will not arouse others' suspicion. He wears a dirty gray cotton hat and a similarly dirty brown linen. Because he specially selected a size larger than his short body, he looks very uncomfortable, and his wrinkled wrinkles make people feel a little unhappy from the instinctively. However, as a follower, especially a follower who often travels in the wilderness and deals with orcs at any time and anywhere, no one is more suitable than this guy.

Dalamensa is proficient in etiquette and customs among all races in the mainland and the slang. Perhaps because he is a liar, he is also familiar with the methods of preventing all kinds of despicable methods. When he goes out, he can really save a lot of trouble.

But this guy likes to be surprised if he has something to do, and it feels like a guinea fowl cooing in the vegetable garden with his neck stretched out.

This is very unpleasant.

"Sir! Sir! Heaven! Heaven!"

Without realizing anything wrong with his behavior, Dalamensa pointed at the sky and shouted like a flea on the horse's back.

"In the sky?"

Although it was unhappy, Bardoren still looked at the direction Dalamensa pointed in confusion.

A strangely dressed figure was floating leisurely over their heads, flying towards the center of the Lake of God's Fallen Lake.

“…What is that?”

After rubbing his eyes, Bardolian looked carefully.

You read that right! That was indeed a person! A person approaching the heart of the death area!

Immediately afterwards, a few gorgeous green spots suddenly burst out about ten meters ahead of the left side of the top of Bardolian's head, three or four meters above the ground.

It is actually not correct to say that it is a light spot, it is like an invisible hand drawing lines in the empty air with an invisible brush. Those light spots fly and glide like the touch points of the brush, and quickly accurately draw a circular pattern parallel to the ground and composition in the air.

Bardot and Dalamensa have never seen such patterns before. They should look like some kind of magic circle, but even in the capital, there is no magician or guiding warlock who uses this method and such a complex composition to arrange the magic circle. It feels like it is not something in this world.

But what happened next was even more incredible.

The pattern like the magic circle was scattered with light spots falling down a girl!

The girl has long dark hair like night and clear black eyes, and looks beautiful. If it is just a beautiful girl, it is not uncommon... This girl has a noble temperament, which is a very strict self-discipline and a kind-hearted temperament. This can be seen from her generous actions.

The girl is about twenty years old. It is enough to remind people of the steadfast temperament of the beautiful old era. The gap between her young appearance is really touching.

However, it is really not meaningful to measure this girl by human standards. This girl - a long black tail exposed under the skirt of her maid's clothing, He Xian, as stable as if there was a flat and hard land under her feet.

“Can you start?”

"Wait, let me confirm."

As he said that, Feng Kan turned on the portable holographic communication device on his wrist.

A smooth virtual window opened in front of him, and the scene in the picture seemed like a tropical rainforest made people wonder where the other party was.

"Eagle Feather? Eagle Feather?"

Although the communication was contacted, the communication object did not seem to appear.

"Hey! Where did you die?"

"It's so rude!"

A mess of rose-red hair tied into a ponytail suddenly appeared below the screen.

"I don't remember educating you into such an ill-polite child?"

"When did I ask you to educate me?"

Several words "well" immediately appeared on Feng Kan's forehead.

"Ah? Then now the training is... no, it's still time to educate me, right?"

"You said it? You said 'training' just now?"

"So that's better to use the saying "targeted guidance"?"

"I don't want to be taught by a guy who doesn't have common sense than me! Then again, when are you going to play with Jiyu?"

"Amazing~~ I didn't do anything. From yesterday's request to now, I've been busy until I didn't have time to just now! Don't you know how perverted your request is?"

"It's all done in less than a day. Do you think you're qualified to say I'm perverted?"

"Well~~ It doesn't matter to Sasa Mie and Tsuna Meishu. I've prepared the stuff, and you'll be ready to accept it!"

"I'm going to be fine here too. I'll wait for you."

"Then give me the teleportation coordinates."

That's right, if the topic continues, I don't know what it will look like.

"Then... let's start!"

With the command of Ji Yu, a translucent virtual screen suddenly unfolded in front of Ainius, who was standing behind Feng Kan, and the beast-eared maid also stretched out her hands and typing on the virtual keyboard skillfully and quickly. On the virtual keyboard that was leaping with the leaping of fingers, it seemed like a group of innocent elves were dancing happily! At the same time, in the picture, three or four little Ainius began to move on the operating table in front of her with the same cute movements.

“…Is that… OK?”

Although the Q-version Ainius has a certain ability to act independently, can do laundry, cook, and operate a camera, it is really impossible to imagine the scene of such a complex mechanical operation in cooperation.

"It's okay!"

Jiyu smiled carelessly.

“My work is perfect. And…”

"and?"

"And Xiao Liuli is providing on-site support, so there is no need to worry at all!"

If there is an electronic fairy present to make fine adjustments, there is no need to worry about it.

"The gamma magnetic line is added and expanded, the predetermined value is one, the error rate is less than 5.7%, and everything is normal."

Is it an illusion that the mechanical electronic sound came from the opposite side? How could there be an electronic voice that appeared in ancient science fiction movies in the 1970s and 1980s?

According to the techniques of Jiyu and Xiao Liuli, it is not a problem to use electronic instruments to imitate the root of human voices with fake and real ones, right?

"Atmosphere! It's an atmosphere!"

As if seeing through Feng Kan’s doubts, Jiu Yu said with a smile.

"No matter what you do, you need to have an atmosphere and be motivated!"

“…Why do I suddenly remember something that is very annoying?”

"Is it your illusion?"

"No! Only this is certain! It's definitely not an illusion!"

Because of the atmosphere? The ambiguous nurse's outfit, the cold operating table, and the whole body was cut off by only one ***... It's really a thing that I can't bear to look back on.

"The gamma magnetic force line has reached the predetermined value, the b-mode conversion begins, superconductivity is implemented, and the anti-gravity force field is unfolded..."

"Although I believe in your skills very much...but is it really okay?"

"Do you think I, who can create a cosmic fortress like the Double Snake, will this be a problem?"

“…”

"The b-mode conversion is completed, and the anti-gravity force field output is stable! - The teleportation begins!"

Feng Kan and Ainius's heads suddenly darkened. A huge and incredible space link that was about to completely swallow the sky blocked all the light, and an invisible sense of pressure swept towards the two of them from the dark space...

Gradually, something huge was slowly poking out from the huge space link...

"...Jiuyu~~ Although it is indeed what I ask you..."

Looking at the giant figure gradually showing his body, Feng Kan sweated coldly.

"...But don't you think you've been doing it too much?"

Above the calm lake, a...well~~ This kind of thing should be called a "castle"?

Castle floating in the sky.
