WTYTIAAN Chapter 242

Chapter 242

Elandic City.

From a distance, it looked like a white town that could only appear in a fairy tale, reflecting strong light under the sun.

A little dazzling.

But Yan Yunqing felt something was wrong.

Because the outer walls of this city were too complete, and from a distance, it seemed that there was not much damage to the buildings in the town. At least, it was much more complete than the ruins they had encountered along the way.

They had passed through several towns along the way, but most of them were in ruins, and some were even buried under the yellow sand, disappearing from the original map.

But Elandic City was different. Its city gate was very complete, and even the pointed corners of the roofs of the houses could be vaguely seen inside. It was like a white city that had not been eroded by wind and sand and had its time suspended, standing in the yellow sand.

[Yingyi] also noticed something was wrong. “Be careful.”

Sean followed beside them, rambling, “That is Elandic City. It’s full of white houses and white people.”

At first, they didn’t understand what Sean meant, but when they got closer, they understood what Sean meant by white people.

Outside the city gate, there stood, scattered in disarray, “sculptures” of various shapes. No, strictly speaking, they looked more like wax figures of human form, very much like the real-life wax museums on Earth.

Among the “wax figures,” some held long swords high, the swords half-swung in the air, their faces full of horror and unwillingness; some were running desperately, one foot raised high, but forever stuck in this bizarre moment; and some were pierced by the enemy’s blades, their expressions still twisted from the battle…

Each “wax figure” was lifelike, as if they were originally transformed from humans.

They were like a group of warriors in battle, their souls were drawn away in the moment of desperate fighting, and they were forever frozen here.

Yan Yunqing walked closer, carefully placing his fingertips on one of the wax figures. The temperature transferred from his fingertips was very low, and the surface was a bit rough. The feeling of touching them was not like wax figures, but more like sculptures. Their skin shimmered with an unnatural paleness, and even in the sunlight, it only reflected a cold, icy luster.

[Fire’s Loneliness] couldn’t help but blurt out another national essence, “Damn, what are these… real people?”

Yan Yunqing’s gaze fell on the “wax figure” in front of him. This was a young man who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He wore a simple leather armor, which still bore traces of battle. Most of the leather armor was damaged, revealing his scarred body underneath. His eyes were wide open, and his face seemed to still carry the anger that had not yet subsided.

He followed the direction of the wax figure’s gaze. Opposite him was also a man wearing armor, estimated to be over thirty years old. The man was holding a child’s arm high, with a wanton smile on his face, as if mocking the young man’s overestimation of his abilities.

But they were all frozen in this moment.

Arthur stared at these wax figures, muttering to himself, “Clothing style, leather armor shape… yes… that’s right…”

Arthur took out a parchment notebook from somewhere, and also Groomed out a feather pen, and began to write and draw in the parchment notebook, probably recording the inspiration he had just gained.

Yan Yunqing answered [Fire’s Loneliness]’s question, “Not only are they real people, I’m afraid these people were originally from Elandic City.”

[Fire’s Loneliness] clicked his tongue. “You mean these… are people from at least hundreds of years ago?”

This question clearly showed that the player’s historical knowledge of the Ermann Continent was not comprehensive enough. Arthur recovered from his mumbling self-talk, and hearing [Fire’s Loneliness]’s words, he gave an answer.

“No, this is at least a thousand years ago,” Arthur said. “I once read a manuscript that recorded this place. This city was originally called Elandic City, and it was considered a moderately prosperous city. I heard that there was a magic stone mine nearby. After the establishment of the two major empires, they attached great importance to this rich city, and successively sent several teams to attack Elandic City. The longest battle lasted more than three months.”

“Hiss——” x3

[Fire’s Loneliness] and [Bin Fengbao] turned their heads to look at the undead Sean, their eyes clearly saying: What are you hissing for?

Sean touched the back of his head. Although his face was as flat as the back of his head, he could still distinguish the front and back through a little bit of facial features. “I don’t remember anything. I heard what this gentleman said for the first time. After all, not many outsiders come here normally.”

[Bin Fengbao] chuckled and didn’t respond.

“Then why did Elandic City become like this?” [Fire’s Loneliness] asked, “This doesn’t look good. There won’t be any Medusa snake monsters here, right? One look and the people of the entire city are petrified.”

Arthur said, “There are no records. The record about Elandic City in the manuscript only remained in that battle that lasted for more than three months. It didn’t write who won in the end, nor did it record the final ownership of Elandic City, as if…”

“As if Elandic City was suddenly erased from this continent,” Yan Yunqing looked at Arthur. “Is that right?”

Arthur had a good attitude towards Yan Yunqing. After all, the boss in the team still had to be supported. With his financial resources, he couldn’t usually invite this level of boss to escort him. “Yes, yes, the subsequent records about Elandic City seem to have been artificially erased, so I wanted to come and explore it.”

As Arthur said, he looked at this frozen city, and sighed, “Originally, I thought that the erasure of Elandic City’s records might be related to the demise of the empire. After all, Elandic City fell into that last recorded battle not long before the empire perished.”

“But now it seems that the loss of Elandic City’s records may be because of these people who have become sculptures.”

Not all of the people who turned into wax figures here were from Elandic City. From their actions and gestures before their deaths, it could be seen that a large part of them belonged to invaders. This happened in the moment of their attack, so these invaders also turned into wax figures.

There were quite a few of these invaders, and many of them looked like elite soldiers, much stronger than the local soldiers of Elandic City.

From historical records, it can be concluded that these invaders probably came from the elite troops when the two major empires were first established. No matter which ruler suddenly lost so many elite soldiers, or died in such a strange way, they would definitely be severely damaged as a result.

These records were erased, perhaps by the two major empires.

This is a world with gods. This bizarre way of death would only remind people of the means of gods, and the god war had just passed. The Demon King had just eradicateed the gods, and the two major empires rose up because they wanted to be in charge themselves. How could they spread the news that a suspected god had Returned?

Wouldn’t that be shooting themselves in the foot?

So, when a large number of elite troops under their command died bizarrely, they could only swallow their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and suppress and erase the news.

Listening to Arthur’s words, Yan Yunqing felt that something was strange. He went through Arthur’s words in his mind, and inexplicably came up with a guess, “You… are you related to the Eternal Empire?”

Arthur was stunned, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yan Yunqing was a bit surprised, but he didn’t hide anything, or simply divert the topic, but answered directly: “I am considered a descendant of the Remnants of the Eternal Empire, maybe you know my teacher?”

Yan Yunqing’s gaze involuntarily swept over the players standing on the side. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, “Teacher Theresa is very famous.”

Arthur showed a look that this was right. It seemed that what they had said before that they didn’t know Teacher Theresa had brought a lot of spiritual shock to Arthur.

Arthur lowered his voice. Clearly, there were only a few of them around, but he still had to appear extremely mysterious. “Don’t spread it out. If this matter spreads out, I will have some trouble. My teacher is actually my aunt. Our ancestors used to be Imperial people.”

He was actually a Remnants of the empire.

Yan Yunqing was silent for a moment, and his mood was different when he looked at Arthur again.

The employer is actually my great-great-great…grandson?

After all, the Demon King regarded all the creatures in his territory as his people.

Wait…

Yan Yunqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that when he first met Professor Theresa, the subtle targeted attitude she revealed towards him seemed to have traces to follow.

It was known that he entered the Sigret Academy with the identity recommended by the Guangming Church, and the Guangming Church believed in the God of Light. When the two major empires were established and the Eternal Empire had not yet been destroyed, the Guangming Church also carried out a large-scale massacre against the Eternal Empire Remnants.

Oh no, strictly speaking, it was initiated by the two major empires, but the remnants of the Guangming Church most actively cooperated with this search and massacre, the original intention was naturally to avenge.

After all, the fall of the God of Light was done by the Demon King. When the Demon King disappeared, the dogs raised by the God of Light could only seek revenge on those who could be associated with the Demon King.

The Interracial under the Demon King’s command successively announced their independence, leading their tribesmen back to their original territories. They were inherently strong and couldn’t be defeated. The targets of revenge could only be ordinary people who were unarmed.

It was also after this massacre that Theodore announced his surrender.

Later, the historical records did not write much about the God of Light continuing to target the Eternal Empire Remnants, but this kind of thing would definitely not be less.

If Professor Theresa was a descendant of the Eternal Empire Remnants, then the attitude she showed towards him after she first saw the recommendation letter belonging to the Guangming Church would make sense.

Yan Yunqing was a little regretful now. If he had known that Merlin was in Freedom City, what Xavier identity would he use? He could simply go to Merlin to get in through the back door, so as not to be labeled as a member of the Guangming Church for no reason, and he might have already been targeted by the Guangming Church.

After all, Xavier’s identity was a mystery. He was an extremely special Holy Son who was picked up halfway!

But then again, if he hadn’t used that recommendation letter, he would have missed the Sigret Academy’s enrollment time. Yan Yunqing would not have been able to enter the academy, let alone run to Freedom City because of the golden assessment, reunite with Merlin, and not even talk about getting into the academy through the back door.

Because Merlin’s identity on the surface had already died, he wouldn’t think that Merlin was still alive, and deliberately look for Merlin.

So, going to the Sigret Academy to study with the recommendation letter at that time was the best solution. If he didn’t go to the Sigret Academy, he would have to run to Romunike to seek shelter because of the Chase of Bato Vita.

Thinking about it, it’s not cost-effective.

The things he learned at the Sigret Academy were extremely useful to him until now. If he hadn’t studied at the Sigret Academy, his strength would probably be cut by a third.

Some things are really destined.

Yan Yunqing thought to himself.

Arthur studied the wax figures that were frozen at the city gate for a while, and recorded all the things he found. Only then did he call everyone to enter this city that looked very strange.

The picture at the city gate was already very strange. Walking into Elandic City, that strange feeling was even stronger.

Countless solidified scenes, even after more than a thousand years, the Tragic of the war at that time was still displayed in front of everyone present in this way.

Even Arthur, who came for archaeology, couldn’t help but fall into a strange emotion.

Because he was a descendant of the Imperial Remnants, Arthur was more able to empathize with such a Tragic scene. In a sense, the people of Elandic City also belonged to his ancestors.

There is a saying that the ancestors are the root of a person. Only when there is a root can there be a soul, rooted in the past, and growing towards the future.

And the hell-like scene in the city can also be seen that although there was no record of the war in Elandic City at that time in the manuscript, the city was indeed broken, and the war should have been a failure.

So the city gate was wide open, and all the people of Elandic City encountered a Brutal massacre.

And in that instant, suddenly a strange force froze everything, regardless of the enemy or us, treating everyone equally, and solidificationed the entire city.

So, the time in Elandic City was forever frozen on the day the city was broken, and it stopped turning.

*

Arthur was driven to distraction for a while before he regained his spirits and focused on the purpose of his visit, running around with his little parchment notebook. The players, as his temporary guards, naturally ran around with him, while Yan Yunqing temporarily left the team.

He silently walked on the “crowded” road in Elandic City. Clearly, there were people all around, but he couldn’t hear any sound. This dead city was quiet, and he couldn’t even hear the chirping of a bird.

Before, because of Arthur’s words, he thought of Freedom City. Yan Yunqing also felt that these wax figures were a bit similar to the golden human factory in the Mantipel Copy he had been to before. They were all sculptures made of real people. He wondered if there was any connection between them?

This place is not too far from Freedom City…

At some point, he was the only one left on this road, and Sean, with a flat face, could not see his facial expression following him.

He did not know when, this somewhat stupid The Dead stopped talking, so he has been following him behind.

Yan Yunqing glanced at Sean behind him,Non-sounding color looking around, “You didn’t say that this place is very dangerous? Why didn’t I find any danger?”

This dead city was really quiet, quiet to the point of being weird, but Yan Yunqing really didn’t notice the danger, not even a The Dead.

According to the scene before the death of this city, the people here must have been filled with resentment after their deaths, and their obsessions would not be small. The probability of giving birth to The Dead was not low, but so far, he has not noticed the existence of a The Dead, and he did not know whether it was because the time had passed for too long, and the souls of the The Dead had dissipated due to the erosion of time, or because of the special way of death of the people in this city, which made it impossible to give birth to The Dead.

Yan Yunqing was more inclined to guess the former. After all, the current time was more than a thousand years away from the time when this city died. Even the strongest The Dead would probably have to die after such a long time.

Of course, the second possibility was not unreasonable. No one knew whether this strange method would prevent The Dead from being generated.

But……

Yan Yunqing’s eyes fell on Sean. Until now, Yan Yunqing could be sure of the last guess he had when he met Sean before.

Sean was most likely someone who once died in this city.

Because after he entered Elandic City, he showed a leisurely appearance. Even if he didn’t show too much on his face, his posture could already show his familiarity with this city.

Sean’s former life should have been a strong man, at least his level would not be too low. After transforming into a The Dead, he could remain for more than a thousand years, but his soul was a little weak, and there was no sign of dissipating for the time being.

In that case, the scope of identity can be narrowed down a lot. Yan Yunqing already had several guesses in his mind.

Hearing Yan Yunqing’s question, Sean seemed to I was stunned for a moment. He slowly opened his mouth: “This ghost look here, is it not dangerous enough? Are you not afraid that suddenly there is a force that will turn you into this, and then become such a white man?”

Yan Yunqing lightly said: “I have seen it all the way, the clothes of these solidificationed people are basically unified, that is, the style that has been circulating for more than a thousand years, at least I have not seen the wax figures wearing the current clothes, so I think that this city should not inexplicably launch an attack, at least, it needs certain conditions.”

Sean was Choked, “You are really arrogant enough.”

Yan Yunqing laughed, “Ordinary.”

He did not continue to speak, but patrolled back and forth,identify ing out a direction, and walked towards it. Sean did not know what was going on, obviously looking like he did not want to pay attention to him very much, but he still silently followed behind him.

Until they came to a house.

This house was built extremely beautifully, and there were also a lot of furniture placed inside. At first glance, it was the house where the nobles in Elandic City lived.

Yan Yunqing stood at the door for a while. Sean couldn’t hold back and Come on, “Why are you standing here, do you want to go in? What’s so good about here? You don’t want to come here to find treasure, right? I can tell you, everything in this city has turned into the appearance of those white people outside, even if you find something good, it won’t work, you can’t use it.”

Yan Yunqing: “Noisy.”

After finishing speaking, he took the lead in stepping in. Sean stood at the door for a long time, and incredibly Come on again, “Are you not talking about me?”

“Is there anyone else here?”

Sean was dissatisfied: “You are too much to say…”

Yan Yunqing broke into this house, casually Viewed around in the hall of the house, did not care too much, and went directly to the inner room.

Sean followed again, “Is it a bit impolite for you to do this, arbitrarily breaking into other people’s homes? Is this really good?”

Yan Yunqing: “This is not your home, what are you in such a hurry for?”

Sean was Choked, “Is it polite if it’s not my home?”

Yan Yunqing laughed, “The people in this entire city are dead, in principle, the houses here are empty houses, not to mention I just came in to take a look, no one would mind if I demolished it, can the dead jump out and think I’m impolite?”

Sean:……

Sean was speechless.

Yan Yunqing won the debate,Hook up the corner of his mouth and continued to explore inside.

Passing by a room that looked like a Library and walking in, the room had three walls full of books. Yan Yunqing casually Drawn a book, and the cover was written with complex words in Guerman, which was a magic Spell.

Yan Yunqing wanted to open it and take a look, but found that this book had also Changes in quality, and the rigid texture was like a stone, and it could not be opened at all.

Taking out several other books and trying them one by one, Yan Yunqing determined that the items here were also like the wax figures outside, they had all turned into wax figures, or rather, they had all turned into sculptures.

Seeing this, Sean Only get it, “I told you, even if you find something good, this thing can’t be used, you don’t have to waste your effort.”

Yan Yunqing ignored him,Explore ed the study, and then began to Groom the wall for organ.

Sean was a little nervous, “What do you want to find? Why don’t you tell me, I’ll help you find it together?”

Yan Yunqing did not speak, and continued to Groom the wall.

Sean turned around Yan Yunqing,Mumble muttered in his mouth, Yan Yunqing actually had a Hallucination of Lillian coming back.

Speaking of which, is Lillian’s growth period a bit too long? Why has there been no news for so long? Did something happen?

Yan Yunqing felt a bit of worry for Lillian, who was far away in Seilenwaal, but he did not show anything on his face. Just when Sean Floating to next to him again, he suddenly said, “Looking for your family’s secret room, do you know where it is?”

“In……!”

Sean just opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly Pause for a moment,Glimp eyes wide looked at Yan Yunqing, who seemed to have mentioned nothing, just simply said that the weather was really good today.

The expression was so exaggerated that the flat face could also detect the shock.

“You – how do you… uh I…”

Sean suddenly became stuttering and could not say a word completely.

Yan Yunqing raised his eyebrows: “Want to ask me why I know this is your home?”

Sean was silent, Floating to in front of Yan Yunqing, seemed to be studying his expression, trying to judge from it whether Yan Yunqing was lying at the moment, but how could Yan Yunqing let Sean see the something was wrong?

Please, although I haven’t said it all the time, it’s not too late to say it now.

He, Yan Yunqing, was a performing arts student in Blue Star, the kind who was first in the school test.

Traversing to another world, and experiencing so many impromptu performances, how could he now put his inner emotions on the surface so bluntly?

Acting, he is professional.

After watching for a long time, and not seeing why, Sean gave up. He only felt that Yan Yunqing was confident, and seemed to have already determined his identity.

“How did you find out?” Sean’s flat face was unpredictable, and finally compromised: “I shouldn’t have revealed anything, right?”

Yan Yunqing raised his eyebrows: “Are you referring to the fact that you have not lost your memory at all, or the fact that this is your home?”

Sean: “……All!”

Yan Yunqing Spread your hands: “Is it difficult to guess? Your performance is too Exaggeration, I knew you hadn’t lost your memory the first time I saw you.”

I don’t know if it was because Sean had been staying in this A land without a man for many years, the way he spoke to people was relatively exaggerated, and his body language was relatively rich. When he wanted to cover up something, this expression would be more obvious.

For ordinary people, or for people who don’t have any scheming, exaggerated body language can really put their attention on his actions, and ignore the loopholes in his words and the flaw in the performance.

It’s just that Yan Yunqing, who was studying acting, was caught, and coupled with his keen perception of emotions, even if he was misled a little in the task briefing at the beginning, after coming to Elandic City, Sean’s performance was even more obvious.

The stupid [Fire’s Loneliness] is hard to say, but the squad leader [Yingyi], and his deputy [Wang Wang Xiaodui] should have noticed this.

This The Dead who claimed to have lost his memory, in fact, had not lost his memory at all.
