Chapter 1485 - Isle of Protection



Chapter 1485: Isle of Protection

The passage was lengthy and silent, going completely dark after they walked for just a little bit, leaving the path ahead obscured.

“Sister, please give me a bit of light” Gu Qing Shan said.

Reneedol pursed her lips, then flicked her finger.

A sprite of light silently flew ahead of everyone and illuminated the passage.

Their surroundings were still completely silent.

There was dust all around them, as if no one had been here for a long while.

——except a series of tiny footprints.

They were pixie footprints.

The group followed the pixie footprints and continued forward.

“Rhode, what did you do earlier?” Scarlet curiously asked.

Gu Qing Shan answered while still carrying Shroud on his back: “That door had been stuck there for a long time, I felt it pitiable so I invited it to join us”

“What do you want a door for?” Reneedol asked.

“Not sure” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Does it listen to you?” Reneedol asked again.

“I’ve already given it a good beating” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Isn’t it cumbersome to bring something you don’t know how to use and is also self-righteous?” Reneedol calmly questioned.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “I shoved it into my personal storage, it’ll be fine”

Reneedol scoffed, but didn’t say anything else.

The group continued forward.

About half an hour later.

A gust of slightly moist wind blew towards them.

A river?

If there’s a river up ahead, this passage would soon reach its end.

The group was glad and started to run faster, after a bit of time, they eventually reached the end of the passage.

The group slowed down and stopped with strange expressions on their faces.

The exit to the passage was covered by a dirty piece of cloth, obscuring the scene behind it.

A table was laid out immediately in front of the exit with two pixies sitting behind it, one of them had a blue beard, the other a green beard, both of them nodding off.

A signboard was laid on top of the table which wrote:

[Reception of all species]

Scarlet whispered: “I can sense the power of Law, Quipcraft has been applied to that piece of cloth”

Gu Qing Shan could also sense it.

He handed Shroud over to Reneedol and walked forward, asking: “Hello, you two?”

The two pixies loudly snored.

Gu Qing Shan knocked on the table and cleared his throat: “Hey, someone’s here, please wake up”

The two pixies continued to snore.

Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, then suddenly leaned down and shouted into the two pixies’ ears: “Time for lunch!”

This finally woke them up.

The two pixies’ ears twitched, looked up, then sheepishly looked around.

The green bearded pixie looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Hey, was the menu tonight living people?”

The blue bearded pixie replied: “No, people stinks, we’ve never eaten them before”

The green bearded pixie sighed in relief: “That’s great then, wait a minute—— isn’t this Shroud from World Valley and his little friends?”

The two pixies smiled.

“Shroud seemed to have fallen asleep, I remember the loud brat in front of us was called something like... Rho...”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Rhode” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Ah, yes, Rhode. Congratulations to you all for escaping the disaster on the surface. By the way, which path did you use to come here?” the green bearded pixie asked.

“We followed your footsteps here” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Ah, that’s a unique guiding Quipcraft that we left all over this ruins, it was set up to guide everyone here” the blue bearded pixie said.

The green bearded pixie continued: “Let me see how you all got here”

He chanted an incantation then closed his eyes.

After a few moments, the green bearded pixie uttered an ‘oh’, then looked at Gu Qing Shan with a strange expression.

“How was it?” the blue bearded pixie asked.

“They went on the path with that door” the green bearded pixie answered.

“Ah, that door is really annoying to talk to, we have to make up a new trick every time in order to deceive—— I mean in order to pass” the blue bearded pixie commented.

He then realized and asked in confusion: “These ones went through the most difficult path? How did they get past?”

The green bearded pixie pointed at Gu Qing Shan and asked: “This brat didn’t just pass the door; he took the entire door with him”

The blue bearded pixie was shocked and opened his eyes wide to look at Gu Qing Shan.

“He took the entire door down? And here I thought we’re already shameless enough, I can’t believe there’d be someone who’s even more shameless compared to a pixie!” he exclaimed.

“...” Gu Qing Shan.

“...” Scarlet.

“...” Reneedol.

Gu Qing Shan had already been through a lot, so he didn’t feel embarrassed and just acted like nothing happened: “Friends, may I ask you what this place is?”

The two pixies cautiously stared at him.

The green bearded pixie tossed four medals to them and said: “Hurry and leave! Quickly go through! Don’t even think about trying to fool me and take the cake in my 5th pocket on the left”

The blue bearded pixie added: “That’s right, just go through this part and you’ll know what kind of place is behind you, don’t talk to us”

They both covered their mouths, expressing that they aren’t willing to say anything else to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan took the four medals and gestured for the two girls to follow him.

The group of four went past the pixies and walked up to the piece of cloth.

An invisible fluctuation scanned through their bodies.

「 Access granted! 」

The piece of cloth called out.

It rolled itself up and gave way.

As Gu Qing Shan’s group went through, they saw that it was an open field with an underground river so wide that they couldn’t see the other side.

Several wooden boats were docked by the riverbank.

“As expected, a river” Scarlet commented.

The four medals in Gu Qing Shan’s hand fell onto one of the boats.

A lanky figure caught the medals.

——-it was a male elf in luxurious armor, his facial features were beautiful, but he was observing them with a gaze that made people uncomfortable.

“You passed the pixies’ evaluation... and you’re from the World Valley?” he held the medals and asked.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The male elf observed them from top to bottom, then focused his gaze on Shroud.

“You even brought an unconscious person, tch, did the pixies make a mistake?” he whispered, then pointed at Gu Qing Shan:

“So—— you, yeah you”

“Me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Prove your identities, or scram” the male elf declared.

Gu Qing Shan scowled.

——fortunately, he already knew what kind of species the elves were, so under these extraordinary circumstances, he didn’t bother to be petty.

Seeing the elves again after so many years, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but think of that girl.

———the Angel of Condemnation who almost died but managed to survive, owner of one of the Twin Wings of Fate, Dusk.

What has she been doing these past few years?

Now that both of the Twin Wings of Fate were in the ruins of the Pantheon, what would happen next?

Gu Qing Shan stood still, but a burst of black flames suddenly erupted from his body, manifesting into a skull of black flames that was ten-odd meters in height.

The black skull looked down on the elf.

“Is this enough? Or would you like to come into closer contact with Death?” Gu Qing Shan curtly asked.

Looking at the skull, the elf gradually smiled and bowed to Gu Qing Shan’s group.

“Everyone from the World Valley, you are the only ones capable of communicating and forming a covenant with the Laws of the World, you are all honorable existences, please come with me across the river”

“Where to?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“The Isle of Protection” the elf revived.

“What kind of place is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The elf’s attitude was much better and patiently explained: “It is a mysterious and safe location——- created by the Guardian of our race, a safe haven established by her when she sensed the calamity before it occurred”

There are no mistakes, that’s definitely Little Dusk!

Gu Qing Shan felt delighted, but discreetly glanced at Reneedol.

Reneedol didn’t react at all.

She had forgotten everything that occurred to Reneedol previously, as well as her own background.

She only remembered everything that happened after falling down the river.

“Other than you elves, how many others have been saved?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

The elf chanted an incantation, then answered:

“We’ve managed to save many species, even if the world on the surface had been destroyed, they will not go extinct”

“Oh? You did such a thing as well?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.

The elf appeared respectful and said: “Indeed, our Guardian hoped for as many people to survive as possible”

“How impressive” Scarlet commented.

The wooden boat left the waters and began moving towards the other side of the underground river.
