goddess of revolution

Chapter 354 At the end of the night, the dawn is coming

The entrance from the Shadow City to the Underground City seems to be well-protected, but it is actually full of loopholes, and with Hathaway's actions to blind the battle puppet's ability to identify friend and foe, the process of going down to the Underground City is very easy.

But this is not the real entrance to the underground city...

Li Qi, Tina, Gwentoline, and Sahina stepped out of the teleportation circle, and what they saw was an ordinary underground cave.Fluorite lamps stretch out a dark road, flanked by jagged stalagmites and the sound of dripping water.

The power suppression felt here is not much different from the Shadow City, which shows that this is still a part of the Shadow City, and the real entrance is still ahead.

At a place similar to a station, I boarded a floating vehicle, driven by Sahina, and galloped along the road.When passing by stalagmites that serve as lampposts, you can see dense scratches.

Most of the inscriptions are blurred, only some words can be seen in some places around the edges.Basically, it is to pray to the gods of all walks of life to bless those people on the upper layer and the outermost layer.There are those who seek the goddess of magic, those who seek Ms. Ye, those who seek the god of the sea, the god of water elements, and even the god of gods.

"For tens of thousands of years, the underground city has been the last refuge of the Storm Islands. Every time a storm or tide appears, the old, weak, sick and disabled will hide here. This is the safest and warmest place in the Storm Islands, everyone Regardless of each other, rely on each other."

Gwentoline sighed and said: "1000 years ago, the sub-mask was legalized. I thought it would be preserved as a permanent refuge in the Storm Islands. I didn't expect it to be preserved, but it became... ..."

Looking at these nicks, Li Qi's heart was also turbulent.

If the Storm Islands were compared to a luxury cruise ship, the Shadow City would be the cabin without portholes under the deck, and the Underground City would be the engine room at the bottom.Unlike real cruise ships, the three areas of the Storm Islands are isolated layer by layer, and can only be entered and exited by a few channels.

This three-story design shows the brilliance of humanity. In the era of frequent disasters, the underground city is the safest place to take refuge here.Shadow City is next, hosting family members and civilians.On the outermost layer, high-level magicians rely on the magic tower to add another layer of protection to the City of Silver, resisting the terrible storm, raging waves and magic tides.

It's a pity that after the regularization of secondary masks, the same design has become an excellent carrier of class society.

The road is rugged and long. Occasionally when passing through an open area, the roadside is covered with dirt bags and filled with crosses that symbolize death.

"Many of the people who came to the underground city were seriously wounded. Those who couldn't hold on were thrown here and buried. After thousands of years, I don't know how many corpses have accumulated. In each tomb here, several or even dozens of corpses are buried. personal."

Gwentoline explained lightly, Sashina subconsciously tightened her neck, and Tina also released her invisibility, leaning close to Li Qi.

Li Qi asked: "You are very familiar with this place, have you been here more than once?"

The former saint smiled, as if she was mocking herself: "I have been here many times, letting people from the Aurora Society take me down sneakily, using invisibility props to come down by myself, and even pretending to be a prisoner to sneak into the team. I have exhausted all kinds of means, but I never had the courage to step into the real entrance."

real entrance...

Anyway, it will be here soon, and Li Qi is not in a hurry, and chatted with the former saint about Hathaway.

Hathaway is already the patriarch of the Ted family, but her mother lives a poor and poor life in the shadow city, which is really unusual.Even if the mother takes charge of the Shuguang Society on behalf of her daughter and stabilizes the situation in Shadow City, it doesn't make sense.

I don't know whether Gwentoline really regarded Li Qi as her prospective son-in-law, or felt that there was no need to keep it a secret, and revealed the secret past that made Li Qi, Tina, and Sahina tremble.

"Since I was born, I have been followed by several magician families. Ted, Sulomon, Susis, Menesus, and Thorin, these five golden families all have a share."

"Since you have joined hands with Hai Ni, you should know the existence of the Night Watchman. The Night Watchman is a position, and it has been held by these five families in turn for tens of thousands of years. This position is Hai Ni's mentor Gail Juha-Mei Nassus, he has been... 70 years."

"The night watchman is responsible for fulfilling an agreement between the lady of the night and the magician. I don't know what it is. I only know that one of them is to help the lady of the night to fulfill her mission when the saint of the lady of the night comes."

"As a saint, I was just preparing to welcome Hai Ni. When Hai Ni was born, I lost my qualifications as a saint."

Hearing this, Li Qixin said that it was indeed the case. In the last gold revolution, the three gold families of Sulomon, Susis, and Thorin were all wiped out, and this may have something to do with it.

"There is no secret about Heini's life experience. 30 years ago, I married a concubine of the Ted family. With the help of Menesus, he won the position of patriarch of the Ted family. Then I gave birth to Heini , Relying on Ms. Ye's blessing, her extraordinary talent in magic quickly manifested, and when she was 16 years old, the part of her consciousness as a saint awakened, and she was promoted to legend."

"When it came to Hai Ni, her father died in an accident in the exploration of the outer plane, and she took over as the patriarch. Then she followed Ms. Ye's arrangement and left the Storm Islands. No one knew what she did, including Menai Seuss and herself. Five years later, that is, the year before last, she returned to the Storm Islands, launched a golden revolution with her mentor, and began to lead the Storm Islands into a new era."

"I didn't expect that she and her...instructor would come to a rift. It seems that there is a difference in understanding of Ms. Ye's mission. Ms. Ye has fallen asleep again and cannot arbitrate their differences."

Li Qi muttered in his heart, after all, Hathaway is actually only 25 years old?Just as big as my previous self.

"Why am I staying in Shadow City?"

When asked this question, Gwentoline's face was full of bitterness and regret: "Because only in the shadow city, with the help of that layer of barriers, can I hide my existence. In the Storm Islands, the agreement between the magician and the night lady , only circulated among the gold family, it is a secret that cannot be put on the table. The magicians of other families don’t take it seriously, and they don’t necessarily recognize it.”

"Heine is different from me. She can learn magic to conceal her sainthood."

"I gave birth to Heini in Shadow City, and after seeing her, I was taken away by her... mentor and father. Fortunately, they were afraid of affecting Heini's mood, and they did not hide my existence from Heini , and did not prevent her from meeting me."

"Sometimes I feel that the barrier covering the city of shadows seems to be specially prepared for me. Poor hundreds of thousands of civilians, and they are suffering such suffering with me..."

Speaking of this, Gwentoline coughed softly to cover up her emotions, and Li Qi still felt the overflowing kindness and pity.

Is this really the saint of the night lady?

Shouldn't Ms. Ye be a god who sows discords and instigates schemes everywhere, and is afraid that the world will not be chaotic?

Why is it that in the Storm Islands, He gives people the same impression as the Goddess of Mercy?The followers of Shadow City connected him with the Goddess of Dawn because of an oracle.

Gwentoline said: "It is nothing more than the underground church, conspirators and villains pushing their own evil deeds to Lady Night. Lady Night has always only paid attention to changes in the world. At a certain moment, what His actions have done to some People may do evil deeds, but from the perspective of more people in a longer period of time, it may be good deeds.”

Indeed, as one of the most powerful gods, Ms. Ye is concerned about the whole of Fein, but she is not interested in plotting a city and a country, and she doesn't care about tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives.

Gwentoline said again: "At the end of the night, the dawn is coming. For several epochs, Ms. Ye has always been like the goddess of dawn, rising and falling, and going back and forth. Now that she is asleep, it means that the goddess of dawn is really coming gone."

Wait, that's not true!
Li Qi frowned: "Shouldn't it be 'The night is always there, the dawn is coming'?"

"This is the real oracle. The oracle spread outside is just modified by the Shuguang Society to maintain the belief of Lady Ye." Gwentoline revealed another mystery.

Li Qi followed up and asked: "Then what do you think the dawn refers to?"

Gwentoline smiled and said, "Of course it's Heine..."

She sighed contentedly: "When I think of her, I am very proud. The loneliness and pain of the past few decades are nothing."

Huh?And this statement?

Thinking about it carefully, this is very reasonable. Ms. Ye used Hathaway as an agent to continue doing things in the new era.

The floating car turned into a deep valley, and below it was a bay-like place, where the black tide slowly undulated, beating against the coast.Just looking at it brings a suffocating sense of fear.

Gwentoline's face became gloomy, and she whispered, "Except for this place..."

Standing on the shore, looking at the pitch-black tide, Li Qi and the others felt their scalps go numb. Is this the entrance?

Gwentoline said: "Yes, I have seen it on the sly, the escort pushed people onto the beach, and the black tide rose and engulfed them."

Li Qi was speechless, this is the entrance to the River Styx!Isn't being swallowed dead?
"No, I can feel it. This is the entrance to another world." Gwentoline's voice trembled slightly: "Every time I get closer, I can hear a voice calling me. That voice makes me feel very kind , and made me extremely frightened, it seemed that something more terrifying than death was waiting for me. So... I mustered up my courage several times, trying to get close to the Kuroshio, but I stopped."

She looked at Li Qi, her eyes filled with pleading for help: "You can go in, you can discover the truth, right?"

"I can only hear the sound of the tide. That's not a friendly sound, but the sound of death." Li Qi smiled wryly, and then turned to Tina: "It's up to you."

Tina's face was as white as powder, and she looked at Li Qi pitifully: "If I die, you must put a hat on me when I am buried, and put the bag under my pillow in my hand. It contains all the salary I have received so far."

………………

In the city of shadows, the illusion above the head flickered, as if it was about to shatter and dissipate at any time.That was too much manipulation of surveillance and suppression through the barrier, seriously disturbing the illusion.

Vance the bandage man put aside his crutches, carried the magic fire bomb on his shoulder, and said to his companion: "If I die, I will definitely not find my body. Remember to engrave a sentence on the tombstone for me. He was once so handsome that women shivered." He's called a handsome guy."

"I've never screamed," Liu Yin said with a smile, and also picked up the magic fire bomb.

"Aww", Hongjiao called out vaguely, and picked up the thicker magic torch.

Vance counted: "Three, two, one... fire!"

Together with other people nearby, more than a dozen fireballs shot straight out, and amidst the horrified shouts of the guards, the entrance to the teleportation hall was completely blown up.

A large number of soldiers wearing armor with various legion emblems and holding magic guns surged up and started fighting with the guards.

This is just a corner of Shadow City. In other places, teams of Shadow City guards and civilians flock to various targets.Some attacked the transmission channel, and some destroyed the magic facilities. In short, in the "vision" of managing the Shadow City with the help of that layer of barriers, the Shadow City was full of flames and chaos.

Amidst the chaos, streams of people and supplies were continuously sent into the City of Shadows through passages controlled by the rebels.Some are supporting the rebels, while others are gathering together to prepare for the next move.

"The Supreme Academy of Magic, the internal guards of the Supreme Council, and the garrison of the City of Silver are still loyal to Menesus. Most of the families in the City of Silver are either on the side of Menesus or sitting on the sidelines. Even the power of the Ted family has withdrawn. Without the City of Silver, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the City of Silver for the time being."

"Now we can only gather strength through Shadow City, and then start from Shadow City, take the bridgehead in Silver City, and defeat the stubborn Menesus reactionary forces in one fell swoop!"

"I know that everyone has not yet fully understood the prospects of this revolution, and many people are still skeptical. They came here only based on their indignation at the tyranny of Menesus, and they have not exerted all their strength to move forward. determination."

In the tavern of the Moshuu Hotel, Zold was agitating impassionedly, and hundreds of family representatives listened intently.

"Let me tell you what advantages we have!"

"The Ted family is on our side, Shadow City is on our side, 80.00% of the families that don't have towers in the City of Silver are on our side! Independent workshops and free magicians outside the City of Silver, 90.00 % are on our side!"

"More importantly, the Alliance of Order is on our side! The Duke of Prell is on our side!"

"We want to usher in a new era of magic, we want to seize the freedom to develop magic technology, we want to break the monopoly rule of the Supreme Council and those big families, and we want to carry the revolution to the end!"

As Zolder gradually raised his voice, the expressions of the mages also gradually became serious, with fiery rays of light bursting out of their eyes.

In the distance of the City of Silver, above the clouds was a fleet of floating fleets. Floating ships with various family emblems continued to join in, and the size of the fleet was getting bigger and bigger.

On the bridge of the flagship with the Ted family crest inlaid on the bow, the legendary black-haired woman in a luxurious purple robe sat on the command seat.

Hathaway asked: "Uncle Gordon, how is the situation?"

The middle-aged legend said respectfully: "The proclamation denouncing Gael Juha Menesus has been distributed to all families at night, and the "Magic Technology Opening Act" has received the response of most small and medium families. Now we Nearly three hundred battleships have been assembled, such a force is enough to destroy the resistance of the City of Silver."

"Yes, the defense of the City of Silver has been fully activated, but judging from the deployment of the floating fleet and the fortress artillery, they are all acting in accordance with the original alert plan, and there is no coordination between them. I judge that your instructor did not personally command."

Hathaway waved her hand and said, "If there is a strong attack, there will be a lot of casualties. It is better to wait until there is chaos inside the City of Silver before taking action. You can send some fast floating ships to exert some pressure first."

"We do need a new Storm Islands, but no one wants to start from scratch on the ruins." When she spoke, her eyes were focused in the void, as if she was looking at another world, with faint worry floating on her face.

Shadow City, a certain entrance leading to the underground city, a large number of floating vehicles roared to.Numerous magic warriors and battle magicians jumped out of the car, driving the tall and thick battle puppets to rush towards the small army blocking the entrance.

"Fight, destroy, destroy..."

The tall silver-armored warrior swung his sword and shouted loudly: "Crush, old world!"
