“It would be nice if we could communicate.”
"Is there any other solution?"
"Yes, but we don't have that much time... Let's ask Ryan to come over and see if he has any ideas for this language."
After all, Tricia's magic research on the ruins of the Age of Gods has been abandoned for forty years, and she has no better solution for the time being. However, Ryan, who has been conducting research on the ruins of the Age of Gods until now, may have a different opinion.
"Well, I'll go."
Elsa left, and Tricia watched as Elsa easily leaped to the upper floors using the frozen surface as a springboard.
"You're becoming more and more proficient..."
She shook her head and looked at the girl on the crystal stage.
The girl just withdrew her gaze and looked at her.
“@&%¥…”
She couldn't understand what she was saying, but she could tell that the girl didn't welcome her arrival.
……
When Ryan appeared in front of Tricia, carried by Elsa, Tricia was trying to replace the original crystal table by copying an identical control center. However, this task was very troublesome, and even Tricia would find it difficult to complete it in a short time without prior preparation.
She explained the situation here to Ryan, and Ryan was amazed at the girl's shadow.
"Is this the girl? What an amazing skill!" Ryan was very interested, but at the same time his expression was very serious, because he also felt it was very difficult. "Indeed, it looks like it has the shadow of the magic of the Age of Gods, but I have never come across a magic device with this function... I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand towards the girl on the crystal pedestal, but the girl's face immediately tensed and she screamed in panic.
Seeing this, Elsa thought for a moment, then calmly stepped forward to block Ryan's sight.
"Leave this child to me. I'll see if I can communicate with her in other ways."
Aisha said, and Ryan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Faris."
Ryan began to try to decipher the magical fluctuations here, while Tricia continued the copying work.
Elsa turned around and looked at the girl on the pedestal. The wings behind the girl trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip and looked at Elsa. Elsa thought for a moment, stood in front of her, and raised her hand. The girl subconsciously shrank her neck, but this time Elsa did not take the initiative to touch her. Instead, she used the light of magic to draw a forest, a lake, the moon, the starry sky, and an island in the sky.
"Do you understand?"
Elsa smiled at the girl.
“We can communicate this way.”
Aisha said.
The girl pursed her lips and looked at Elsa for a long time, then she raised her hand.
In the magical light left by Elsa, the intersecting light moved towards Elsa. When her palm passed, it filled the circular mountains and lakes, wiped out the night sky and stars, and the sky island disappeared.
The lush forests are still green, the sun shines on the earth, and city-states are rising from the ground.
The shadow of a beautiful woman appeared in front of Elsa. She had wings on her back like the girl in front of her, and her snow-white dress was elegant and graceful. She looked down at this beautiful continent affectionately, and a holy crown appeared in her hand, as if it was born from the sun and landed on the earth.
Tricia and Ryan also noticed the movement here and looked over at the same time.
The crown was worn on the head of another beautiful woman, and the dazzling light shone like the sun.
However, something strange happened suddenly.
The sky cracked into a gap that ran through the sky and the earth. The sky was engulfed by black flames. The forest evaporated, the city-states were destroyed, the blue ocean turned blood red, and both day and night were obscured.
A dark and ominous figure replaced the holy light of the crown.
“——Demon King!?”
This time, it was not anyone else but Tricia who screamed. Her eyes, which had never been spiritless, calm and indifferent, changed, filled with endless hatred and resentment, deep shock and anger.
The figure of the "devil" was so huge that it raised its hand and easily flattened the prosperous city-state and crushed the beautiful crown as if it were overturning a pile of sand on a sand table.

174. The Girl's Obstruction
Elsa probably understood that what the girl was presenting in her hand was a dynamic picture of the birth and destruction of a civilization, and that civilization itself was probably the "winged people" - the so-called "winged people" was the name Elsa and Tricia currently gave to her people who had wings on their backs like the girl.
Those winged people once lived on this continent, or rather, somewhere within the present-day empire.
The Winged People established a prosperous and stable country. However, when their civilization reached its peak, a powerful enemy emerged, destroyed their cities, and slaughtered their people. The Winged People were unable to resist such a force and were forced to flee to the sky, where they established this island in the sky and survived under the protection of a dragon.
The so-called dragon is probably the magical mechanical dragon from before, right?
Elsa was curious about how these winged people had built a city, but her story ended there. Her hand paused in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly, but she didn't move. What happened next? The winged people who had escaped were clearly gone. This was just a deserted city, and the white spires stood alone like tombstones of this civilization.
What is the girl herself? What happened to bring about her current state? Was there a war? An internal conflict? Or did she migrate to another place and live in peace?
Did the girl not know about all this, or was she unwilling to speak? How long had she been here? This city certainly wasn't built in just a few hundred years, was it? Had she been here for a century?
Aisha didn't know, and neither did Tricia and Ryan - no matter how they tried to communicate or ask, the girl didn't give any more information.
The only clue is this dynamic scroll, and all of this is also the understanding of Elsa and the other two.
After all, without a common language barrier, we can only communicate through drawing, and the information that can be exchanged is still too limited.
"Sorry... I was a little excited just now..."
Tricia's voice became a little hesitant. It was obvious that the phantoms she just saw had a great impact on her.
But in fact, the black shadow itself is not the Demon King, because everyone knows that the Demon King is a demon who is much more powerful than anyone else. Demons are different from humans, demi-humans, and elves. The characteristics of demons are very obvious. However, the figure just seen - if you look closely, you can see the wings behind it. It looks like just a member of the "Winged People".
As for where this powerful winged man finally went, they did not find the answer from the girl's scroll, but the only thing that was certain was that when the winged people fled in the air, the terrifying existence was still watching them hungrily.
Did the Winged People survive in the end? — This question arose in the minds of the three of them at the same time.
"But it really looks like the Demon King. Even if it's just a simple portrait... I..."
Tricia rarely showed an unwilling expression, which surprised Aisha and Ryan.
Elsa glanced at Ryan, then turned her gaze in the direction of the Winged Girl. At this moment, the girl was sitting on the crystal platform, curled up with her legs hugged, staring quietly in this direction. When she noticed Elsa's gaze, she looked away. Elsa pursed her lips and retracted her gaze.
"Let's think about what to do first. Before we truly understand what that child is trying to say, the fate of this Sky Island is in our hands."
This is the top priority.
"Everything here is too ancient, and it also involves that young girl... If I were given a few more months, I'd be able to translate her language, but I'm not sure I could analyze the structure so quickly. I'd better continue my work. Maybe I can successfully usurp control of the magic circle."
Ryan said frankly that after trying, he still couldn't understand the structure here, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
After saying goodbye to Elsa and Tricia, Ryan left and continued his analysis work with other magicians in order to get results as soon as possible.
As soon as Ryan left, the place became quiet again.
Aisha and Tricia looked at each other, and Tricia smiled dryly.
"Then let's just stay here alone... I'm sorry, Aisha, I made you see my loss of composure..."
Obviously, she was still thinking about the figure of the "devil" she had just seen.
Elsa looked deeply into Tricia's eyes - Elsa could roughly understand Tricia's feelings. The Demon King War destroyed Tricia's life and took away Tricia's friends. Even though the Demon King had been dead for forty years, Tricia still lived in the shadow of the Demon King's curse.
For Tricia, the Demon King might be the hurdle she cannot overcome. Elsa has never seen Tricia so panicked.
"Don't worry, Tricia. The Demon King is dead. Besides, even if something does happen, I won't stand idly by. You can rely on me a little. Don't you always say I'm more powerful than the Demon King? Don't say anything like you made a mistake at a time like this."
Aisha said, and Tricia raised her eyelashes slightly, but quickly lowered them.
"Thanks……"
"Let's focus on solving the problem at hand now. Just trust me with the rest," Aisha said, changing the subject. "Do you think... can this child control this place? Since she's here, is there any connection?"
The "child" that Elsa was referring to was naturally the winged girl.
"It's worth a try...but she seems difficult to communicate with."
"I gonna go see."
Elsa took the initiative to walk in front of the winged girl. The snow-white wings behind the girl were particularly eye-catching. Elsa squatted down facing the girl.
She tried to use drawing again to make the girl understand her request so that the sky island would stop, but the girl looked at it for a long time and just shook her head, drawing a forest and a black monster - this surprised Elsa a little, obviously the girl knew something about the black monster.
Elsa immediately asked her about the black monster, but the girl remained silent for a moment and only drew the appearance of the demon king who had appeared before.
Could it be related to that powerful winged man?
After all, why would a Winged Man want to exterminate his own kind? Elsa couldn't understand.
In the end, Elsa didn't get a clear answer.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Tricia said decisively, "If Ryan can't handle it, I'll try to dig out the 'control center' here. If that doesn't work, Aisha, then I'll leave it to you."
However, at this moment, Inksha's voice suddenly came through the communication magic -
"Lady Aisha, Master Sage! The teleportation array has lit up—black monsters! Lots of black monsters have appeared!"
Elsa and Tricia looked at each other.
"I go."
Elsa stood up and tried to leave, but at this moment the winged girl suddenly shouted: "¥%&*——!!"
The girl looked a little anxious, very similar to when Elsa first met her. She said something hurriedly, and when she saw that Elsa didn't understand, she quickly started drawing in front of Elsa.
She drew the outlines of the earth and the forest.
Draw the mountains and plains.
The outline of the teleportation array appeared on the ground. What surprised Elsa was that there was not only one teleportation array in the central lake, but also one deep in the forest in the south.
The black monsters gathered on the sky island through the teleportation array, and the sky island slowly passed over the land and reached the sea.
Finally, the sky island sank into the sea.
——The azure sea swallowed up the sky island and all the black monsters. Then, a huge explosion swept across the deep sea, and all the black monsters and this magnificent sky island disappeared.
Elsa frowned slightly and looked at the winged girl.
The girl also looked up at Elsa, a complex look in her eyes, like sadness, like determination.
"Are you trying to get me to leave?"
——Because this sky island will eventually sink into the sea with all the black monsters, and then perish together with the black monsters, right?
Elsa didn't ask because she knew the girl couldn't understand at all.
But she couldn't confirm it with the girl because she didn't know how to express her doubts through drawing.
Elsa looked at Tricia, who also seemed to be thinking about something. When she saw Elsa's gaze, she nodded at her.
"You go ahead, I'll stay here and check on the situation."
"Ah."
Aisha left despite the girl's attempts to stop her.
Regardless of whether Tricia's guess is right or not, what Elsa has to do remains unchanged - kill all those black monsters.
……

175. Crown
Seeing that Elsa had jumped away, the winged girl shouted anxiously, but there was no response from Elsa. She could only grit her teeth and glare angrily in the direction where Elsa left.
“*&#¥%!!”
Tricia couldn't understand what she said, but she seemed to be able to sense her impatience from her expression.
"You know what's going on outside, right? But you probably don't understand what's been going on up until now," Tricia said, looking into the girl's eyes and suddenly smiling. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought she was in danger."
The girl naturally didn't understand, so she looked up at Tricia, who was pointing at the picture she had drawn and muttering something.
Tricia was helpless, so she simply talked to Inksa.
"Inksa, are you okay over there? Are you not hurt?"
Because the location Tricia designated for Inksha and the others was not far from the square where the black monster appeared. If the black monster attacked them, no one knew what accidents might happen.
