But you can't betray your own country.The man was wearing the ridiculous armor decorated with all kinds of exquisite and slender rhombus chains, watching her melancholy leaving back.

The tinkling of the golden ring gradually disappeared above the dark stairs.

She left.

His heart was instantly empty.

At that moment, he finally made a decision.He doesn't need the maiden to lead him up, out of the dungeon.As long as she is by her side from time to time, even being locked up underground for the rest of her life doesn't seem unbearable.

He wore the armor that the girl decorated with her own bracelet, and he never took it off.He has made up his mind that when the girl comes next time, he will tell her his heart.

But late that night, the ground gave way.

There seems to be a hungry glutton hidden in the dark underground, and more than half of the houses are submerged in the dark crypt.No house below the third floor was spared.

Even the seven-story White Pagoda, which is several tens of feet high, fell into this bloody mouth bit by bit, and was chewed wantonly.

Because of the yearning for the sky in their blood, people here like to build extremely high roofs.People woke up from the nightmare, panicked, and subconsciously wanted to climb to the roof.

However, due to the year-round comfort and prosperity, most of the people here regard their beauty as soft and slender.The fair-skinned, feminine-looking young girl wore a heavy gold chain on her wrist, and she simply didn't have enough strength to climb up to the roof.

The slender beauties like delicate flowers couldn't hold on, and fell into the abyss one after another, crying and screaming to tear the desolate night.

The man in the underground prison was the first to feel the shock.The rigorous training in the early years made him quickly realize that something was wrong, and he slammed on the prison door, but found desperately that it was too late for the people on the ground to escape by themselves, and it was impossible for anyone to rescue him.

Panting heavily, he sat down on the straw mat that covered the floor plan of the palace, desperately waiting for the disaster to come.

A loud rumbling sound came from the ground, like the angry roar of a giant monster.

The dungeon shook more and more violently every time, and the earth and rocks from the roof rustled down.

However, amidst the noise, he actually heard the tinkling of the golden ring.

At first he only thought it was a hallucination of dying.But along with the sound of gold ornaments colliding, a series of hasty footsteps came from the stairs.He stood up in surprise, and looked at the girl with a halo around her in surprise and anger.He ran towards his cell, his hands trembling, and he untied the shackles on the cell door.

The man only felt that the blood all over his body was rushing to his head: "What are you doing here?! You hurry up!"

The girl ignored him, and finally opened the cell door with trembling hands, her legs were so weak that she could hardly support her body.The man pulled her wrist and carried her on his back, and ran up two steps and one step at a time.

The trembling cry of the girl came from behind: "The giant worm... crawled out of the ground... The huge pit in the ground... The city is about to fall into it..."

In a blink of an eye, the man instantly understood what had happened.He knew it was too late to flee outside the city.They now need to go to a place as high as possible to avoid being buried alive in the ground with everything in the city.

Rolling sand and dust filled the air, and all kinds of gorgeous and fragmentary decorations rolled down from the height of the dome during the earthquake caused by the giant insects, dividing the line of sight and making it difficult for people to see the road clearly.

But men don't care.He had already memorized all the floor plans of the Golden Palace.

Even though he couldn't see the direction clearly, he still turned several corners accurately and ran all the way to the golden palace, the staircase leading to the giant seven-story tower.

The man suddenly paused, put the girl on the ground, then took off his helmet and the armor on his upper body, and put them on the girl involuntarily.

On the fierce and rough armor, the rhombic chain formed by splitting the girl's bracelet is like an immortal golden flower.The girl wanted to refuse, but she couldn't push the man's arm away.

Hastily finished dressing, the man did not carry the girl on his back, but let the girl run in front, and he followed closely behind with his tall and stooped body.

When I just ran to the third floor, an accident happened.Because of the strong vibration caused by the unbearable fall, the partition wall cracked and collapsed on the steps leading to the upper floor.The falling bricks almost hit the armor on top of the girl's head.The girl felt that she was pushed suddenly, and she was able to avoid the falling heavy stone in an instant.

A painful groan sounded from behind.The girl wanted to take off the oversized helmet on her head and turn her head to look back, but was held down by the man: "Don't stop, keep running up."

The girl subconsciously complied.She could hear the rustling of earth and rocks all around her.But there seemed to be a solid shield above her head, allowing her to continue upwards against the stone.

But when she was about to finish the fifth floor, she found in despair that the road ahead had been completely blocked by falling stones.Beside her, a crumbling stone wall toppled over where she stood.

The man reacted very quickly, rolled on the spot with his arms around the girl, and the two of them hid in a corner together.The stone wall had collapsed, enclosing a small triangular safe corner here.

The walls on all sides block out the sound of the outside world.In the silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "Are we safe?"

The man's keen sense of hearing, trained as a spy, felt that the cracks were gradually extending on the fallen wall.The wall above the head will soon be unable to bear the weight of the stones and will completely crack.The huge weight will be directly on the bodies of the two people below.

But he just said, "Yes ma'am, we're safe now."

The wall burst and collapsed from the middle in an instant. The man lay on top of the girl, straightened his arms and arched his back, his veins bulged, and he used his body to lift the weight of the falling rock above.

The girl smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the man above, and groped in horror in the darkness: "What's wrong with you? Are you injured?"

The man swallowed the blood from his throat.When he used his body as a shield to cover the girl's evacuation, countless falling rocks hit his back heavily.

He replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine. But I'm a little tired today. I need to sleep later. Before going to bed, I need the lady to answer a few questions."

The girl's eyelashes were stained with tears, and she nodded vigorously with her head in the helmet.

"After the subsidence stops, do you know how to get out?"

The girl's voice trembled: "I... call for help first... There is a small hole on my left... I can try to get out..."

"Very good miss. After you go out, if someone hurts you, what should you do?"

"I'll find the surviving guards and regroup first. If I can't find anyone... I'll bring a sword... I can repel them with swordsmanship."

"Then if there is an enemy army with malicious intentions and wants to take advantage of the chaos to attack. What should we do?"

The girl fell into silence, and it took a long time before she replied, "But we... have no more gold."

The man coughed and felt that his head was gradually becoming dizzy due to severe ischemia.

He encouraged him to stay clear, and spoke slowly for a long time.

Under the helmet, a line of tears slid down the girl's flower-like cheeks.

The huge underground pit almost swallowed the entire Golden Town.The miraculous sands were buried underground with the fall of the city.It wasn't until only two floors of the seven-story giant tower of the Golden Palace were exposed outside that they finally hiccupped and died down with satisfaction.

There was a dull and loud noise underground, which was the sound of the fallen city finally bottoming out.

The shaking stopped, and the subsidence disaster was over.

The sound of people fighting back and searching for rescue came from outside.A ray of light came from the small hole on the side of the girl.

The nerves that have been holding on for a long time can finally relax.The man could feel the even breathing of the girl under him.

This must be the first gentle hug between them.

In a blur of consciousness, the man heard the golden ring jingling again.

------------------

As a genius monk with dual spiritual roots in civil engineering, Duanmujian certainly couldn't crawl out of the dog hole.

The time in the dream was distorted, and the disaster ended in an instant.Duanmu Jian snapped his fingers, and the hole on the side of her body opened automatically, and she walked out very dignifiedly.

The humanoid clay puppets that were built casually remained in place, scattered and disintegrated into pieces of earth and stone.

Under the eerie scarlet sky, only ruins remain of the pearl in the sea of ​​sand.The dust on the ground no longer shines with golden brilliance, and the pointed roof is exposed outside, like a mountain island standing in a black lake.

Duanmujian fell into silence, even Ruomu was quietly carried on her shoulder.The two stared at the tragic image in front of them, vaguely understanding why the escape route this time was so simple and clear, as long as they escaped to the roof.

Whether it is the original place, the realm of worshiping gods, or the floating country.The most desperate decisions are made when disasters completely destroy the homeland.

But this time, the most difficult moment was delayed until after the disaster.

The golden town of Sumuya stands a great, mythical, representative of the ultimate human craftsmanship, the most dazzling pearl in the history of Western Region architecture.There is no existing palace that can compete with this golden palace that was extravagant and luxurious thousands of years ago.

Incomparable, incomparable, insurmountable.

Here, is the pinnacle.

From then on, no matter how hard this land tries, it will always live under the shadow of the Golden Country, and it will never be able to reach it.

Anyone who has gone through the reverse journey knows that it was after the golden town that Sumuya began to decline.There are no more surprises.Just spend hundreds of years in mediocrity.

The place where gold no longer shines, all the works of later generations seem so boring, simple and boring.

In the dream, behind the two of them, a seductive light shone inside the gate of the temple.

This is the land of gold, are you willing to let this magnificent dream disappear in the torrent of history?

Even Lu Ran hesitated for a moment.

He is not good at drawing architecture.Only by allowing Duanmujian to maintain his memory and wake up, can he use his paintbrush to reproduce the glory of the Golden Palace as much as possible as a golden mourner.

If we continue to move forward, even the only one left, who can narrate this legendary era in detail, will forever bury his memory in a distant dream.

When Lu Ran reminded Duanmujian and Song Jun that they should choose to go back to the dreamland, it was only because he found that too many details were covered up in the reverse journey, creating the illusion that Su Muya was born to be destroyed.

But now, he felt uneasy.None of them knew what the end of the dream was.They don't know if there really will be anything more precious than gold there.

However, hesitation exists for a moment.Lu Ran quickly made a choice, and the scarred Ruomu flew up tremblingly from Duanmujian's shoulder.

At this moment, a hand stopped Ruomu.

------------------

Several hours later, the trembling person lying on the roof trembled all over, and stepped on the ground again.

The shining hometown of gold was shattered overnight like a dream, leaving only devastation everywhere.After the earth-shattering changes, he once fell to the altar.It is almost impossible for the Sumuya people who grew up in Song and Dance Shengping to regain their former glory.

From now on, when foreigners come here in the name of mourning El Dorado, ridicule, slander, schadenfreude, greed and temptation will come one after another.

And the most serious and vicious gift among them is the chaos of war.

Everyone knows that tens of thousands of tons of gold are buried under this sea of ​​sand.

Although no one can guarantee that the gold buried deep in the ground will not be mined again.But the gold ornaments on the exposed roof alone are now enough to attract the prying eyes of a pack of salivating wolves.

The crowd gathered towards the giant tower with only two floors left.A woman in armor supported her body with a long sword on the ground.The delicate face is hidden under the helmet.

A quarter of an hour ago, with the help of the search and rescue guards, she got out of the dog hole at the bottom of the tower in embarrassment.After identification, the guards discovered that this was actually Her Royal Highness, and the only member of the royal family who survived the catastrophe.

The iron armor on the queen's body glowed with a cold light.But there are circles of exquisite and delicate rhombic gold rings wrapped around it.Two things with completely different styles are connected together, which is particularly nondescript.

End here with the glory of the Golden Country.

Or on top of the crumbling ruins of the present, under the shadow of past glory, do you live in a humble and fearful way?

Everyone is waiting for the Queen's answer.

As far as the princess herself is concerned, there is no second choice for this question.

She is the princess who crawled out of the dog hole.

From the time she crawled out of the dog hole with a dusty face and blood all over her body, the golden country has completely become a thing of the past.

Now, in the future, all she can rely on is the long sword in her hand.

In that first and last deep hug, she had obtained all the answers.

------------------

Duanmujian's eyes were clear, and he showed no hesitation or entanglement at all.

A line of words floated on the sand.And at the moment when this line appeared, heavy pressure immediately covered Duanmu Jian's back.

"Ask Song Jun. To rebuild a military fortress on the ruins, what should be done first?"

------------------

The young and girls who are weak and charming like silk flowers decorate the prosperous world, but they cannot survive in the troubled times.Only those who are strong and burly, with a tough heart, can stand upright in the endless training.

It is unknown to the female swordsman who has become the Supreme Commander. In a few decades, it will become a fashionable fashion to carve various diamond patterns on armor.

These burly and strong soldiers believed that the diamond pattern favored by the greatest founding generals of the first generation could bring them infinite courage and undying confidence.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.The jackal looked around, waiting for an opportunity to move.The unimaginable wealth in the underground will become the original sin of the Sumuya people for nearly a hundred years.

This time, they couldn't leave for even a millisecond, otherwise the remaining property would be looted by the surrounding enemy countries smelling blood and staring at them with sharp teeth.

They withheld the remaining gold from the ruins, sold it all as quickly as possible, and immediately bought tools, materials, armor, and swords from neighboring countries.

They developed a special chariot with specially widened wheels that could roll on the sand.

Small fortresses rose up one after another, and gradually formed into pieces.An unprecedented completely fortified military fortress city was quickly established on the land that once buried the entire Golden Country.

It stands silently in the sea of ​​sand, defending the treasures underground with its indestructible shield and sharp knives and guns.

They made up their minds to stick to each other and defend this land to the death.

Just like a hundred years ago, they made up their minds to leave their ancestors.

The author has something to say:

I'm happy √Montage is really easy to use√

[There is something more precious than gold in this land.Even though the memory will eventually fade with time, just as sand will disappear in the sea of ​​sand, it will be deeply imprinted in my memory. 】

This sentence embodies the last words in the rain of "Blade Runner" [but all these moments will disappear in time, just like tears drowning in the rain]

In addition, there are actually a few dark lines (cover your face) but I didn't write it well, maybe everyone didn't see it.I'll just write it out

The gradual growth of [Worm] is a symbol of [Disaster Reincarnation] (but it will not apply after the Golden Country)

【Lingge】appears on people in different forms in each era, and they are connected to each other and continue from generation to generation, implying 【Inheritance】(this point should be the clearest in the transition from the realm of worshiping gods to the kingdom of floating)

The metaphor of "Highland" should be the most obvious in theory - it is "Civilization" (however, I thought it was beautiful and poorly written)
