Like a dry wooden board curled inward by the sun, it pierces straight into the sky from a very far distance and gradually disappears into the thin, pale mist and clouds.
It was as if the forest they were in now... was not spread out on a plane, but was inside a hollow sphere, showing a negative curvature.
Such a scene is too shocking and too unrealistic, full of absurd and weird artistic conception, giving people a sense of illusion that is not real.
Even if it was just a static image floating in Clement’s palm, it was filled with an extremely powerful and awe-inspiring force, let alone the fact that they were in such a scene?
The three of them were all stunned by this absurd and bizarre dream-like scene and were speechless for a long time.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
It was not until the sound of birds chirping in the distance that their spirits, which had soared to the sky, were pulled back to reality.
"...Illusion?"
Sarah, the mage bodyguard who had been silent for a long time, had a gloomy face and expressed her judgment in a solemn tone.
"possible."
Clement retracted his outstretched hand, causing the unfolded imprint to dissipate, and shook his head with a cold expression:
"I can't sense any spiritual fluctuations around me. You are a mage and are more sensitive to this. You can give it a try. Maybe you can detect some clues."
Sarah nodded silently, told Clement to "protect Her Royal Highness the Princess," then closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and recited a series of incomprehensible spells in a deep and rapid voice:
"The God of Thunder, with four legs as the supreme being...Walking on the battlefield, exploring the fog...All things come together, and everything is known!"
"boom!"
Several red lightning bolts emerged from her body, sweeping across the space within a dozen meters around her with extreme speed and violence, before converging, fading, and quickly dissipating in just a few seconds.
"how's it going?"
Candice hurried over and asked.
She knew what the skill used by her personal bodyguard Sarah was - the spell was called "Thunderous Declaration" and belonged to the "Giant" field represented by "smelting", "forging", "weapons", "housing", "war", "thunder" and so on.
Most of the skills in this area are related to physical enhancement, combat, and fighting. "Declaration of Thunder" is one of the few perception spells.
Not only can it quickly scan all spiritual fluctuations within a small area, but it can also analyze whether there is any spiritual influence within the range.
It is equivalent to performing several simple divinations on the scene while "perceiving".
The preparation and duration of this spell are extremely short. It can be cast in just a moment to get the result, and the information that can be obtained is very rich. It is a very practical perception skill in actual combat.
"Um... Princess."
Sarah, who had an ordinary appearance but harmonious and attractive features, slowly opened her eyes and put down her hands. A deep haze gathered between her brows, and she looked at Candice with half respect and half heaviness:
"There are no spiritual fluctuations here, but I sensed traces of being affected by the spirit. The result... is very, very absurd, so much so that I suspect there is something wrong with my perception."
Upon hearing this, Clement crossed his arms and frowned as he asked:
"How to say?"
Sarah explained in a slightly hoarse voice:
"We are not conscious or spiritual and have been pulled into a fantasy world... but this is not the real world either."
Chapter 298 The Prototype of the Kingdom of God
"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao! Something terrible has happened! There's a big problem!"
Suddenly, a cry filled with extreme anxiety and fear came from the tree house which was filled with the natural fragrance of grass, trees and leaves.
"Um……"
Qi Ji was sitting on a rocking chair, holding a transparent glass ball the size of a fist in one hand and resting the other hand on the armrest in a relaxed and natural manner.
Hearing the voice, she turned her head with an expectant look and looked towards the wooden exterior wall of the tree house not far away, which was the direction where the shouting came from.
"Knock, knock! Knock, knock!..."
A few seconds later, the wall she was staring at began to make chaotic and urgent clapping and knocking sounds, accompanied by a crisp and somewhat childish shout:
"Xiaoyao! Sister Bernice! Are you there?! Please open the door, I have something urgent to do!"
"come in."
Qi Ji smiled with a bit of evil humor and waved his finger lightly. The vague, ancient "Door of Time Travel" covered with mysterious reliefs quietly opened on the wall.
"Xiaoyao! So you are here, that's great!"
Donna hurried out from the rippling waves of light in the door, her fair face covered with sweat, and the dark green low ponytail tied behind her head swayed with her hurried footsteps.
“Haha…haha…”
It was obvious that she had been running all the way here. Her cheeks were pink from the intense exercise, and her tender little chest was heaving violently, looking very tired.
Qi Ji leaned back, lazily lying on the low backrest of the rocking chair, and asked with a knowing smile:
"What's wrong? Why so anxious?"
"Um, um... I just met Her Royal Highness the Princess in the square of Beiyuan..."
Donna supported herself on her knees, bent her upper body slightly, and took deep breaths for half a minute. When her breathing and heart rate had just calmed down, she stood up and repeated her previous strange experience in a slightly incoherent manner.
"all in all……"
Finally, she summarized:
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is missing! She disappeared all of a sudden!"
"Oh, that's how it is."
Qi Ji's expression remained unchanged, still with that unfathomable mysterious smile, and he slightly nodded his beautifully shaped chin:
"Why are you looking for me for something like this? Shouldn't the Dusk Palace or the city government be responsible for the disappearance of a member of the royal family?"
The tone of her voice was very calm and natural, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her and she was just a passerby who was completely out of it.
There is absolutely no awareness of being the culprit.
"Well, it seems so..."
Donna was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization.
But the next second, she shook her head fiercely and said with a worried look on her face:
"But if I report the situation to the public security team or the city government now, it will take them some time to verify the situation, right? After all, to confirm whether a person is really missing, there may be many procedures to go through..."
"so?"
Qi Ji tilted his head and pouted.
"If we delay for so long, Her Highness might be in danger!"
Donna clenched her hands into fists and waved them anxiously in front of her:
"She, she just disappeared like that... This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, it's too wrong! There must be something very unusual happening. Her current situation may be very bad..."
"Um……"
Qi Ji suddenly scratched his cheek with a guilty look on his face, and responded in a lowered voice:
"Okay, I get it. So, what do you mean?"
"Uh, it doesn't make any sense..."
Donna turned her head slightly away, feeling a little embarrassed. She clasped her hands behind her back, twisted her fingers together, and said softly:
"That's right, I just want you to be careful. If you find any trace of her, it's best to report it to a reliable person in time..."
She also knew that there was no connection worth mentioning between the other party and Candice. The only intersection was the inexplicable chat in the square that day.
From the perspective of interests, Qi Ji has no reason to help Candice.
Therefore, I have no reason to force Qi Ji to do anything. The request just now was just an extremely loose suggestion.
After hearing her request, Qi Ji changed his posture from half lying to sitting up, looked at Donna, and raised his eyebrows curiously:
"Are you close to that Candice? You seem to be very concerned about her situation."
Qi Ji was also a little puzzled. According to her current understanding, the relationship between Donna and Candice was very ordinary. They were just strangers who rarely met each other on weekdays. At most, when they met by chance, the former would say hello out of courtesy.
In Donna's eyes, Candice is a royal princess who is high above everyone else and unattainable in every way; in Candice's eyes, Donna is a passerby like a background board, who probably didn't know her name or even her existence from beginning to end.
In short, the two had almost no interaction. Why did Donna look so worried and concerned after discovering that Candice was missing?
Could it be that before the arrival of the seventh season, they had a further relationship that she was not aware of yet?
"Forehead……"
When Donna heard Qi Ji's question, her expression froze slightly. She remained silent for a long time as if petrified, and then she stammered to explain:
"No, it's nothing! Even though she's not my friend, she's still my classmate! And it's normal for me to be worried when such a living person suddenly disappeared in front of me, right?!
"Uh, well, I'm going to report this to the school security team. You just need to keep an eye on this matter... Bye, bye!"
After saying this in a hurried tone, without waiting for Qi Ji to ask further questions, Donna turned around as if escaping, and hurriedly passed through the "Door of Time Travel" that had not yet closed, and her figure disappeared in the dreamy rippling water.
"interesting……"
Qi Ji did not stop it, sensing the breath belonging to Donna gradually fading away, and finally passed through the preset ceremony set up near the tree house, was "teleported" to the edge of the grove, and trotted towards somewhere on the campus.
"Tsk, it seems that the relationship between these two people is more complicated than I originally thought..."
She pondered thoughtfully, then looked down at the crystal clear, brightly glowing transparent glass ball in her hand... To use a more sophisticated name, it's called a crystal ball.
Just like the magic crystal ball in the hands of a witch in a fairy tale movie, this exquisite glass ball vividly projects dynamic scenes.
It was a lush forest filled with a thin white mist, and four figures of different sizes were concentrating and tense as they groped around in it.
Warrior Clement, Mage Sarah, Princess Candice, and Mr. Cooper.
"The 'space' power of the mysterious starry sky form, plus the 'ordinary world' authority of the 'First Creator' and the 'Angel of Redmormon's Mirror'...
"By combining the two, and combining them with some sophisticated spiritual operations, we can create an effect similar to 'portable space' or 'a world in the palm of your hand'."
Yes, the space where Candice and the other three are now is exactly inside this small glass ball the size of a fist!
That space is independent of the real world, but it is not an illusion that can only be entered by spirits and spirits...
"In the terms of this world, the name of this thing should be--"
Qi Ji slightly raised the glass ball in her hand to the level of her eyes, opened her red lips slightly, and uttered a word slowly in a low and mysterious voice:
"The prototype of the Kingdom of God."
=======================
A new week, please like it!
Chapter 299: A small episode on the endless plain
The far north.
In the uninhabited land far beyond the northern border of the glorious Plantagenet Empire, the vast expanse of ice and snow has frozen the desolate land into a pale state of near stagnation.
Thousands of miles are frozen, and thousands of miles are snow drifting.
The great ice sheet that occupies more than 80% of the territory of the northern great country, the Krestov Dynasty, is one of the most mysterious, strange, and fantastic regions in the northern continent...
Endless vast plains.
In this eternally silent white wilderness, everything was frozen by the extreme cold. Even the air seemed lazy to flow, making it difficult to stir up even the slightest breeze.
Above the clear, cloudless blue sky, the bright sun hangs obliquely in the sky, and its golden light splashes on the ice field, creating a dazzling white reflection.
There was no living thing as far as the eye could see.
Apart from the pure and dazzling whiteness, there is only the clear and transparent blue sky.
Between heaven and earth, the straight horizon in the distance clearly divides the sky into two colors, blue and white. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Dead silence.
Nothing.
desolate.
This is the eternal theme of this dead land.
This extreme cold and silence, which could freeze even the soul, lasted for who knows how long.
