Chapter 821.1: Eve of the Battle for Peace
The Twilight Dynasty Palace stood on a round stone slab. This stone slab was huge, and it was supported above this huge bottomless pit by hundreds of stone pillars connected together. All these pillars went deep into the pit and from above you could see only their upper part, which supported the slab along with the palace afloat.
How this palace was built and how this slab was installed was not clear. Not to mention the backward level of construction in this world, even in our time, it would be very difficult to build something like this, for this pit was too deep.
It was possible to get into this palace by using three paths that were located not far from each other and led directly to the front of the palace. These paths were wide stone bridges about five meters wide.
As for the safety of these stone bridges, it wasn't very good. No fences were installed along their edges. They were just bare stone bridges. If someone decides to fight on these bridges and is not careful enough, they will end up being thrown down, right into this bottomless pit.
Above the palace itself, some debris slowly rotated and floated, completely ignoring the force of gravity.
As Su Xiao approached one of the stone bridges, a Dragon Flash appeared in his hand and he looked at the edge of the stone bridge.
*Ding*
A piece of rock flew away. This stone bridge was surprisingly strong. Su Xiao used his sword to cut even steel with ease, but he couldn't cut this bridge apart.
Pressing his hand to the bridge, he felt a powerful energy flow through it. The problem wasn't that this stone bridge itself was very strong, but that this energy inside the bridge protected its structure. It would be very difficult to destroy one of the stone bridges, perhaps if some huge giant fell on one of these bridges, it would eventually be damaged, but Su Xiao strongly doubted that even in this case, the bridge would be completely destroyed.
After realizing that each of the stone bridges was extremely strong, Su Xiao headed towards the palace.
It was very majestic. In front of such a palace, anyone would feel like a small bug.
Keeping his guard up, Su Xiao walked towards the palace. A ten-meter-high metal gate stood in his way. The gate showed a man with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hands.
This man was on one knee and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the dying flame in front of him. A curved sword was stuck into the flame, and above the man, the sun was hidden by something huge.
Although it was just a scene from the past, Su Xiao felt as if it was all happening right in front of him right now.
The sun was blocked by a huge wolf, and the flames were about to go out. The world would soon be plunged into darkness, into never-ending darkness. Only this man was still trying to save the last source of light for the sake of saving his people and for the sake of destroying his enemy. He wanted to kill it for the sake of his people, elves, dwarves, orcs, centaurs, goblins, giants, and trolls. These eight races all had their own territories, and although some of them didn't get along very well with each other, they didn't interfere with each other.
Hot- tempered dwarves and arrogant elves built weapons together and sometimes quarreled with each other, giants and trolls kept forming families, centaurs galloped across the grasslands, hunted and lived in peace with all the other races, goblins explored strange things every day, and humans survived by trading with all the other races.
However, everything ended up changing because of the evil dragon.
Although the human king had defeated this evil dragon, this battle had brought the king to the brink of death. Humans, elves, and giants drank the evil dragon's blood and formed an alliance called the Dragon Legion, while orcs, dwarves, goblins, and trolls ate the evil dragon's meat..
A hundred years later, the first war broke out on the continent between the Dragon Empire and the Tribal Alliance. Both factions had previously encroached on their loyalty to the king and both factions had suffered enough due to the evil dragon's greed, but they still ended up going to war with each other.
[Notification: As the Hunter witnessed the rise and fall of the Twilight Dynasty, the Hunter's spirit began to resonate...
Your willpower has increased by two points.]
The notification from Heaven made the scene in front of Su Xiao's eyes disappear. After being dazed for a few seconds, he suddenly woke up as the metal gate in front of him gradually collapsed.
With a bang, the ten-meter-long metal gate turned into large pieces of dust and dispersed, and at the same time, the metal gate on the other two bridges also dispersed.
— It seems that I was not left without a reward.
After that, Su Xiao headed towards the palace. After entering the palace, he found that it was extremely confusing.
This palace had seven floors. At its center was a spiral stone staircase that ran through the entire palace.
The first six floors were filled with passageways, nooks, and various rooms. Without a map of this palace, Su Xiao would probably just get lost after a few minutes.
And yes, he almost got lost in the end. Given his perception, it sounded a little ridiculous, but after entering the Twilight Dynasty Palace, Su Xiao found that the entire palace was filled with some kind of energy. This energy didn't affect the human body in any way, but only suppressed the person's perception, causing Su Xiao to be able to detect anything within four meters around him at most.
