Chapter 5 Night Talk
Gao Sen's suggestion was like a fish hook, which fully mobilized An Ruoran's curiosity. But Vivian did not have interest in solving the mystery, at least not for the time being, because with the retreat of the Modo people, she still had a lot of things to be busy with. Cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, laying down fortifications and reorganizing the soldiers... These things made her busy from the afternoon until late at night. An Ruoran, who was unfamiliar with these, could only avoid the suspicious eyes of the demons and sit alone on the hillside outside the city and wandered away.
"Meow, do you really want to be trapped here?" It was not until this time that An Ruoran had time to calm down and think about what happened next. He now knew very well that no matter what the war between the Farum and the Modo tribes would end, he was very sure that he was temporarily trapped here. And the only thing he could count on now was that Wei Ji and the others knew how to open the door of time and space, otherwise he would have to stay in the demon world for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, he is optimistic by nature and knows that it is useless to be anxious now, so he was depressed for a while and had no choice but to throw it away and think about the battle between the two tribes a few days later. In fact, after the observation of the past few hours, An Ruoran vaguely felt that the demons were not as terrible as they imagined. At least these Farum people also had to dress and eat. Apart from their appearance very different from humans, there was no strange manifestation.
Not only that, even the Demon World and the Flan Continent have no special place. Although the area is not vast, the soil is fertile and scattered all over the rivers, so there is no problem to support tens of thousands of people. So it is strange that the demons in this situation have invaded the Flan Continent. Are they really destined to be aggressive?
"Well, maybe with..." gently touched his chin, An Ruoran couldn't help but raise his head thoughtfully and look at the dark blood-red sky. Although he had only seen it for a few minutes, he had noticed that the strange scene in this sky seemed to be passing by a lightning bolt from time to time, and then absorbed by the tower standing under the sky. It seemed that the tower was like a lightning rod, specifically used to absorb those lightning bolts.
"It seems that you have guessed something..." A cold voice suddenly sounded not far away, and Vivian's figure soon appeared in the faint mist. After busy for a long time, her expression was filled with unconcealed fatigue, but she was still in good spirits, but her expression still seemed a little angry.
"Eh, you won't be still angry!" After getting the answer from Gao Sen, An Ruoran was no longer worried that he would be retaliated. However, seeing Vivian's appearance, he still had a headache and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, I didn't mean to bully you, who told you to be cute at that time!"
When Vivian heard the word cute, his cold face turned red, but he also remembered the happy times when the two of them were together in the past. Seeing her funny expression, An Ruoran couldn't help but reach out and smiled in the tone of coaxing the little girl, "Come on, Vivian is the most obedient, hug!"
Before he could speak, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly coughed a few times to cover it. However, despite his expectations, Vivian still gently touched it with an angry expression. An Ruoran was surprised. Before he could react, he saw that Vivian had shrunk to the little girl's appearance and obediently shrank into his arms.
"Eh..." He noticed the slight trembling of the little man in his arms, An Ruoran couldn't help but habitually reach out and hug her. But no matter what, whenever he thought of Vivian's posture of standing tall just now, he felt extremely strange, as if he was taking the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"An An!" Amidst a complicated thought, Vivian still spoke gently and grabbed his arm. Hearing the intimacy and coquettishness that he had not heard for several days, An Ruoran couldn't help but feel soft. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair, and said softly: "Well, what's wrong?"
Vivian leaned gently in his arms and didn't say anything for a long time. Until An Ruoran felt his legs numb, she sighed softly and said lightly: "I'll send you away from here tomorrow! I know you want to help me, but this matter is a matter within the demon clan, and you don't need to interfere in this..."
Before she could finish her words, An Ruoran raised her hand gently and covered her mouth directly. She looked at her with some anger. An Ruoran shook her head and said, "Stop talking stupid things. We are all connected to a rope now. If we say it, we may not lose to the Demon Lord."
He said this, but even An Ruoran didn't believe his words. But he made up his mind that if the situation was really bad, at most he would find a way to move with Gao Sen and Vivian together. It would not be very difficult for the three of them to join forces to break out a life journey. At most, he would lose the last base of the Farum tribe in Yago City.
"You don't understand. Yago City not only means the main city to us, but also affects..." As if knowing what he was thinking, Vivian couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. After hesitating for a moment, she gently bit her cherry lips and said, "Okay, maybe I can tell you this secret, but you can't tell others... Forget it, it doesn't matter if humans know it!"
"Well, what's so important?" An Ruoran nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. Vivian smiled bitterly, looked up at the dark red sky above and said, "Actually, this secret is in the sky of the Demon Realm. An An, don't you think there is something strange about the sky here in our place?"
"You mean, those lightning?" An Ruoran was stunned for a moment and immediately made his own judgment. Vivian nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, what I'm talking about is those lightning! Just like what you see, these lightnings have fatal attack power. Even the Saint-level powerful man dared not say that he could resist a few tricks. But fortunately, after the Demon God descended to the Demon Realm, he built the Tower of View to resist lightning, so our clan could live here safely."
As Vivian said, the most unstable factor in the demon world is the lightning that always passes through the sky. These lightnings have great deterrence and can turn strong people below the level into ashes in a few blows. Because of this, no creature in this world can survive until the arrival of the demon god.
After the arrival, the demon god first resisted lightning with his powerful ability, then created the demons to build Yago City, and finally built the Tower of Heaven that could absorb most of the lightning. It is precisely because of this that the demons can live in this dangerous world safely and not be roasted into a suckling pig if they go out a few steps and are beaten by the five thunders.
"So what you mean..." When An Ruoran heard Vivian's explanation, he seemed to vaguely notice the hidden situation. Sure enough, the next moment, Vivian sighed helplessly and looked up at the sky where lightning was scattered: "But since the Demon God left, the Tower of View has become increasingly damaged. About six hundred years ago, this tower finally could not fully absorb lightning, and since that time, our tribe began to live in the haze of lightning."
Despite this, because the Tower of Viewing has not completely collapsed, most lightning can still be absorbed by it. But everyone knows very well that this mysterious tower will collapse one day, and the entire demon clan will face a catastrophe. Because of this, dozens of strong men from the Demon clan risked their lives to enter the Tower of Viewinging, hoping to find out the reason why the Tower of Viewinging is gradually damaged. But beyond their expectations, they only arrived in front of the second gate and were blocked by the mysterious magic array and could not move forward at all.
"I understand, so in order to survive, you have to attack the Flane Continent!" An Ruoran couldn't help but realize that when he heard this, the demon clan abandoned the demon world that could also survive, and instead attacked the Flane Continent at all costs. Vivian nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's true that this is true. In fact, we have considered discussing with humans, but they obviously cannot accept us. In fact, because of living in a dangerous environment, our clan does love blood, killing and destruction more."
This is the result of the accumulation of hatred in the past dynasties. An Ruoran didn't know what to say, so he could only touch his chin in silence. However, after thinking for a while, he suddenly wondered: "Wait, we seem to be off-topic. What does this have to do with the Demon Lord's attack on Yago City?"
"Because Yago City is the last refuge to avoid lightning!" Vivian sighed, looked back at Yago City in the thick fog, and said softly, "I just said that the Demon God built Yago City first and then built the Tower of View. Therefore, Yago City also has a preliminary lightning absorption function. Although it is not powerful, it can at least ensure the safety of the strong people above the level. It is precisely because of this that after the Demon Lord failed to attack the Flan Continent, he naturally wanted to seize this refuge."
In fact, if it is just an ordinary refuge, it would be no big deal even if the Demon Lord and the others moved in. However, the magic array setting in Yago City is very strange. It is only effective for a certain race. In other words, if the Modo tribe wants to get the protection of Yago City, it must first drive Farum out, and then change the object of the magic array through the blood sacrifice, which is obviously unacceptable to the Farum tribe.
"So this is a situation that cannot be solved at all!" After a long story, Vivian couldn't help but sigh softly, but his eyes gradually became cold, "But no matter what, Yago City is the last base for our clan to retain its vitality. If the Demon Lord wants to rob, I will destroy the magic array in the end, and at most I will die together!"
