"The Stone Nest Legion, composed of extraordinary giants, trains year-round in the dark Stone Nest, a large cavernous area located above the Royal Court. Because they are not illuminated by the light of the Earth's core, their faces are grayish-brown, and they are better able to integrate with extraordinary essence..."
"Wulf Minosk, born in the Royal Court Airspace... well... seems to be a highly gifted student. The name of this university is a proper noun, Miss Chloe, do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand," Chloe said with difficulty. "The Giant language I've learned is limited to a few spoken words and some sacrificial terms. This kind of proper noun..."
"Well...it's okay, it's not important," Xingmo turned the page and continued reading.
Chloe just felt terrified: as a member of the August family, she had a Giant language teacher since she was a child, but her understanding of Giant language was not even as good as Miss Jadeti!
Who would learn Giant language for no reason?
A tiny detail immediately made Miss Jiedeti more terrifying in Chloe's heart.
""
In fact, Xingmo doesn't understand Giant language very well.
As a bell keeper, she did learn the languages of many extraordinary species, but like Chloe, she only learned some of the spoken and ritual languages of Giant.
But even though she can't, Aurora can.
After all, when Aurora was a student at Nefera Beta Magic Academy, she had almost read all the books in the library.
Oh, and I also absorbed a book spirit by the way.
Through the mark of the Tree of Life, Xingmo can share some of Aurora's cognition.
In other words, it can translate in real time.
Of course, this kind of sharing is relatively shallow, so Xingmo may not understand some of the technical terms.
To understand this kind of term, Aurora might have to come.
As for what Aurora was doing? She was sleeping.
Yes, sleeping like a pig.
"In short, this Minosk was once a scholar, but was distressed by the fact that the quality of life in the Stone Nest Hollow was far inferior to that of the Earth's core airspace. Therefore, he went to the Stone Nest, voluntarily gave up his status as an airspace resident, and later became the leader of the Stone Nest Legion..."
Xingmo nodded, expressing her approval of the warrior's experience.
"He's very capable and consistent."
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some conflicts between the residents of the Sky Region and the Stone Nest," Chloe thought thoughtfully, "just like the Golden People and the Garo people."
Indeed, whether it is the uneven distribution of resources or the difference in appearance, it is enough to create a dividing line between two groups of the same species.
"Do you think this person is a follower of the evil god?" Xing Mo looked at Chloe.
Having a certain amount of military power and possessing certain ambitions are all good things, but they do make them the kind of people who are easily bewitched by evil gods... giants.
Chloe thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said:
"It's still unclear. If the Invisible Mist's goal is to obtain that... anchor point, then unless he is truly ruthless, it's unlikely that he would push his men to the evil god.
. "
These words made Xing Mo feel inexplicably guilty. After all, she had caused many people around her to become "followers of the evil god."
Of course, I was the first to get into trouble.
Well, although the harm caused by this evil god is almost equivalent to that of a slightly naughty kitten, he is not a serious god after all.
Which serious god would still sleep in bed when the sun is shining on his butt?
"Another suspect is Arcadia, the son of the craftsman," Xingmo flipped through the parchment, "that dwarf."
"A little dwarf about two meters tall..." Chloe was amazed.
Xing Mo nodded slightly and said:
"Well... among the giants, the height difference between short giants and tall giants can reach up to eight meters, almost two different species. Therefore, some people also call them dwarf giants. They are unable to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the city, so most of the short giants' work is mainly concentrated on clerical work, such as craftsmen..."
"No wonder a large portion of the giant's scrolls are the same size as ours." Chloe looked at the parchments on the table. They were only slightly larger than those in the August Palace.
"After all, it's convenient for the dwarf giants to manage, so they basically take care of all the paperwork," Xingmo nodded. "Besides that, there's the craftsmanship. Many dwarf giants have a better compatibility with string magic and can polish weapons more precisely. This craftsman's son, Arcadia, is one of them."
"His family has been craftsmen for generations, and therefore possesses an extremely powerful forging system capable of forging divine weapons. Rumor has it that they are related to the Frozen family of the former Dark Elf Dynasty... This is a bit far-fetched, after all, the Frozen family was most active between 419 and 528, when the giants had long since entered the underworld."
"The suspicion about this person lies in his rather sinister record in the community, often doing things that harm others and benefit himself..."
Xingmo recalled Arcadia's provocation to Wulf Minosk in front of the throne:
"It's said that he has connections with the surface world and often labels some of his forged weapons as giant weapons and sells them for high prices. He must have a passage from the Stone Nest to the surface world, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do these things under the watchful eyes of the royal court."
"If he can contact the surface world, he'd have a chance to connect with Serena..." Chloe lowered her head. "Well... if that's the case, then he's indeed the biggest suspect."
The two of them roughly checked the identities of the suspects and finally narrowed the suspect down to the warrior Minosk and the craftsman's son Arcadis.
Apart from these two, the other high-ranking officials in the royal court either have very little information or do not have that much real power at all.
Hmm... Next, let's go to the outer floating island and see if we can find the altar... Xingmo thought so.
As long as we can find the altar, we can infer the identity of the evil god's followers.
After all, any spell cast will leave traces.
""
While Xingmo was thinking, a lazy yawn was heard from the side.
Turning around, I saw Aurora getting up dazed, her pure white hair disheveled and her eyes dazed and dreamy.
Looks so stupid... Xingmo smiled faintly and stood up immediately:
"See you later, Miss Chloe. I need to help my assistant get ready."
"OK, all right."
Chloe knew that the girl who seemed to be called "Ruby" was definitely not an assistant. After all, Gloria said that she blocked the attack of Bahamut, the elder of the Fire Prison, with one hand.
So, she quickly left the room.
"Little Saint, help me change my clothes."
Aurora threw her pajamas into the air, then opened her arms to Xingmo with a silly smile.
Seeing this ridiculously stupid look, Xing Mo smiled faintly, then sighed helplessly.
Alas, even God is a fool when he wakes up.
Chapter 296: Crazy Abyss (Part 2) -4k- (Two Updates in One)
After washing and dressing up, Aurora led the team towards the floating island!
Of course, there is no way to go directly to the floating island area - that area is close to the core of the earth, and ordinary winged beasts cannot withstand the extremely high temperature. Only those alien species that grow in stone nests have such strength.
So, riding on the winged beast, Xingmo and his group headed to the Stone Nest.
Slowly rising in the air, sparse light blue vines gradually spread all around, and finally became as dense as a forest.
"These kids are incredible," Aurora muttered. "The puzzle pieces of the ecosystem are actually here... How amazing..."
Among the light green vines, the outline of the inverted spire is getting closer and closer.
Finally, the winged beast landed on the platform outside the spire.
After stepping onto the platform, they were met by several "super giants" of two to three meters in height. They had bluish-gray skin and wore simple armor, similar to the attire of the group of giants guarding the entrance to the royal court.
"Passport." The leading giant said in a low voice.
Xingmo took out the certificate given by Her Majesty Aloftes, the Flower of the Royal Court. The giant took a quick look and then signaled Xingmo and his group to pass.
Behind the door is a long spiral staircase that stretches all the way upwards.
As they walked up the spiral staircase, Aurora couldn't help but complain:
"These guys are so lifeless and unfriendly."
"Actually, his attitude is pretty good, maybe it's just his face that's not very good-looking..." Xing Mo commented
price.
"No, I can sense the aura of their spirits deep within," Aurora frowned. "They are very unhappy, and this unhappiness is directed at us."
"You still have this ability?" Xing Mo laughed, "That's normal. After all, we are obviously...outsiders."
Not everywhere is welcoming, certainly not in the land of giants.
What's more, this is a dark corner of the giant kingdom, a stone nest located directly above the royal court airspace.
After walking out of the spire, what comes into view is the undulating spiral tower-shaped buildings. Those towers are not straight, but have strange curves, looking like rows of open ribs of a giant beast fossil.
The sky over the Stone Nest was gloomy, and a faint damp smell permeated the air, accompanied by an indescribable herbal scent.
On the streets, giants of different heights were walking, mostly around four to five meters tall. Occasionally, there would be giants of ten meters walking like earth-shaking giants. Huge passages were specially created for them on the roads, and all the giants were driving on roads of their own size.
Apart from anything else, it's really well organized.
Xing Mo blinked as he watched the blue-gray giant, over ten meters tall and covered in giant beast skeleton ornaments, passing by like a mountain.
If the Sorrowful Evil Omnimnos were a ten-meter-tall giant, fighting him would be quite difficult, right...?
Forget it, don’t think about it so much first.
"Let's go to the floating island dock." Xing Mo waved his hand.
So, the group began to walk through the streets of the Stone Nest - the dock to the floating island was on the other side of the nest and had to be reached on foot.
There are hundreds of spiral towers in the entire Stone Nest's urban structure. Those towers rise from the ground to the top of the cave, connecting the Royal Court airspace and the current Stone Nest, as well as the Stone Nest above.
Looking at those spiral towers, Xing Mo couldn't help but imagine the floor plan of the entire stone nest - an ant nest-like structure composed of countless underground cavities.
Although both belong to the giants, the Royal Court Airspace and the Stone Nest have completely different urban structures, and their differences bring a unique beauty.
It's really strange that such a civilization could develop underground...
Walking on the street, Xingmo closed her eyes and gently pulled in the air.
Her sight quickly moved to the top of the stone nest—a cloud of turbid puppet spirits was flying, serving as her field of vision.
The vision is not as clear as that of a hawk, but of course there are no hawks in such a place.
Xing Mo wanted to use the high-altitude vision to collect some information and see if he could find anything.
She first activated her tree vision and soon discovered that the mark of the invisible mist also covered her current nest.
Densely packed, everywhere.
The pollution has seeped upward from the airspace and reached the Stone Nest...
Xingmo controlled the puppet spirit to roll in the air and looked around.
At this moment, she felt someone gently poking her shoulder and opened her eyes:
"what happened?"
It was Aurora. She was pulling at the corner of Xingmo's clothes and pointing to a place not far away:
"Look at those weapons."
Xingmo looked in the direction Aurora pointed and found that it was an open space at the intersection where giants gathered and fought with weapons.
The giants were of different sizes, but they were all fighting with weapons, and sparks flew when the iron weapons collided.
On the side, female giants were sitting in groups on chairs beside the open space. Some were knitting clothes, some were sharpening weapons, and most were chattering.
Just like the old men and women strolling in the square.
In the eyes of these Stone Nest residents, fighting is just a daily activity...
Xingmo turned to look at Aurora:
"So what's the matter?"
"Oh, you idiot, look at the weapon in that guy's hand." Aurora stood on tiptoe and pinched Xingmo's chin to make her turn her head. "Look, look, does it look familiar?"
Aurora directed Xingmo's gaze to a sturdy four-meter-tall giant. He was wearing armor made of the skin of some unknown creature and holding a giant sword engraved with runes in his hand.
Xingmo thought carefully about the runes on the sword and felt that they seemed to be the work of Arcadia, the son of a craftsman.
She activated her tree vision, her eyes swept over the runes, and she immediately frowned slightly.
That sword is not ordinary.
There is a faint blue aura hidden on its surface, which means... there is extraordinary source energy inside it.
Forging extraordinary power into ordinary metal...is this considered an enchantment?
