The Death List Novel - Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Atlantis

The card that Kelly gave Qin Lun had a silver edge and a blue background. The front of the card was a forest under the moonlight. It looked like the moonlight forest of the elves. On the other side, the two swords crossed, supporting an erect eye pattern. His eyes were filled with whirlpools of pupils, and under his long gaze, he felt a little dizzy, as if even his mind was about to be sucked in.

This card was much bigger than the Tarot card, and if there were some congratulatory words written on it, it would be like a greeting card. The card was not an apostle item, and there was no description of it on the death list. However, as an apostle, Qin Lun could feel that it carried a trace of the Laws of Fragmentation, just like an ordinary item that had fused with a broken crystal.

Qin Lun checked and confirmed that he did not understand this thing, so he sent a message to Malfoy as Morning Star had said, inviting the Elf Clan Elder over for dinner.

After receiving Qin Lun’s message, Malfoy took time to visit at night.

“Qin Lun, my brother, it’s great to see you safe and sound!” Years seemed to leave no trace on the handsome face of the elves. Malfoy was still the elven beauty that made the girls go crazy.

The promotion from Guard Captain to Elf Elder, coupled with the fact that the Moonlight Elves had recovered from the disturbance in the management seat of the council, Malfoy had enjoyed a very comfortable period of time. His complexion was flushed red, and he was even more handsome.

“Malfoy, we haven’t seen each other for a long time!” Qin Lun smiled and hugged the elves.

“Oh? Haha, Qin Lun, we haven’t seen each other for only a month! Your apostles are like this. A short month is like a century to you!” Malfoy was slightly stunned and sighed emotionally.

Malfoy suddenly frowned and looked at Qin Lun carefully. A look of shock appeared on his face. “Qin Lun, are you already a high-level apostle?”

Qin Lun smiled and shook his head. In the eyes of the intelligent races of the Shattered Universe, as long as they were professional apostles, they would all be considered high-ranked. Back then, when Berylseth saw him, it was the same reaction.

“You have entered the Shattered Star Sky from another world … less than three months ago! You are the fastest-growing apostle I have ever seen!” Ma Fa’s expression was exceptionally complicated, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

As the captain of the elven guards, Malfoy’s combat strength was equivalent to that of a Second Grade apostle. However, the apostle had his Laws, body, and healing items, and if he fought for a long time, he would be the only one to lose. Malfoy knew that Qin Lun would catch up with him sooner or later, but he didn’t expect this day to come so quickly. It must be known that he had cultivated for more than two hundred years.

“Three months … Haha! Your apostles are truly blessed by heaven!” Malfoy smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Sometimes, I really want to go to your mission world to see what you’ve gone through. That’s why there are earth-shattering changes every time!”

“Trust me, you don’t want to know. In the eyes of the apostles, you are the ones who are happy!” Qin Lun’s eyes flickered slightly as he said softly, “Malfoy, never … never try to step into that world!”

“Haha, no matter what, you have to drink with me today and console this Elder’s wounded heart!” Malfoy smiled and nodded. He pulled Qin Lun’s arm and walked inside.

“What should I drink?” Qin Lun asked the elf on the sofa.

“Burning Flame Wine!”

“Oh? Are you sure?” Qin Lun couldn’t help but chuckle.

Scorching Flame Wine was a kind of strong liquor brewed by the dwarves. The elves usually liked to drink low-concentration fruit wine with a little sweetness.

“I’m sure!” Malfoy waved his hand vigorously. It seemed that Qin Lun had really stimulated him.

After taking a sip of the wine glass, Malfoy’s mood gradually calmed down. He smiled and asked again, “You shouldn’t be so kind as to invite me over for a drink. Tell me, what can I do for you this time?”

“Can’t I just treat you to a drink?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose awkwardly.

“Will you?” Malfoy looked at the young man with a faint smile.

Qin Lun smiled bitterly. He really wouldn’t come to Malfoy to drink and chat when he was free. He didn’t have the habit of socializing!

“Cough cough, actually this isn’t a very important matter. I just want you to help me identify a card!” Qin Lun took out the card that Kelly had given him and put it on the coffee table. “Someone gave me this. He said that the elves would know how to use it!”

“This is” Malfoy glanced at the card and slowly opened his mouth, as if he had seen something incredible.

“Mafa … Mafa?” Qin Lun saw that Malfoy was in a daze and immediately shook his arm.

“Ah? Oh!” Malfoy was shocked and regained his senses from his countless thoughts.

“Judging from your appearance, you should know this card. What is it?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

“Of course I know this thing!” Malfoy looked at Qin Lun with a strange expression. “This thing was originally sent by me, and there were more than a hundred of them. I was just wondering why it was in your hands!”

“Ah? Is this thing important?” Qin Lun’s curiosity rose and he hurriedly asked.

Malfoy’s lips moved, but he didn’t make a sound. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “I really can’t explain this thing in a few words. It’s better for you to look at it yourself. I have this record in my identity token, so I can’t show it to you. However, since you have this, you can look at it!”

Maffa stood up, took the projector from the living room, and inserted the identity token into one of the grooves. The image of the projector started to shake, and a three-dimensional image soon appeared.

“This is … another floating continent?” Qin Lun looked at the stereo projection and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The area of the floating continent in the projection was much smaller than the scorching plains beneath the Corner of the Abyss. It was roughly the size of Shu Prefecture in China.

To Kieran’s surprise, the architectural style of this floating continent was very similar to the modern world before the unification of the Earth Federation, probably from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century in the Gregorian calendar.

The road network above the floating continent was like a checkerboard, dividing the continent into regions and towns. The towns were filled with tall buildings. There were more than ten stories tall, like honeycomb-shaped residential quarters, as well as hundreds of skyscrapers.

The beautiful park, the smooth and spacious airport avenue, the wheat-surging farmland, the railroad stretching into the distance like an artery, the bridge over the broad river … This was a beautiful and fertile small continent!

In the middle of this floating continent, there was a giant floating city. This floating city gave Qin Lun the first impression that it was big, very big! Although it was only the size of a fist in a stereoscopic projection, when compared to the surrounding scenery, it was able to measure its enormous size.

The 1,000-hectare airport was only the size of a fingernail. Compared to the horns of the Abyss, where tens of thousands of people lived, it was almost the size of 50 horns of the Abyss. If the Horn of the Abyss was a small town in the Federation of Earth, then it would be an international metropolis.

The architecture of the giant city was similar to that of the floating continent. It seemed like it belonged to the floating city of the floating continent. As for whether it was the Apostle City or not, even Qin Lun didn’t dare to randomly guess.

There were nearly 20,000 apostles in the Corner of the Abyss. If this floating city were an apostle city, it would probably have more than a million apostles. This was simply unimaginable!

However, this giant city obviously couldn’t give him this answer. Most of the buildings in the city were in ruins, and the surface was covered in green moss and vines. Along with the projection broadcasting, we can often see some wild creatures running around the city road, like a reinforced concrete urban forest.

It had been destroyed!

Of the eight enormous pillars that supported the floating city, three were completely broken. The entire city was like a crippled tripod, crooked against the ground, speechlessly recounting its past glory!

“This floating continent is called Atlantis. There were tens of millions of humans living on it. However, its history is very short. From the formation of the continent to its annihilation, it has only a history of three hundred years!”

“What? Are you sure it’s three hundred years, not three thousand years?” Qin Lun looked at Mafa in surprise and couldn’t help but ask.

Judging from the level of civilization above Atlantis, it almost reached the fourth scientific and technological revolution era of the old century on Earth. It took thousands of years for humans on Earth to reach that level of civilization!

“I understand what you mean!” Malfoy smiled bitterly and said, “I’m only talking about Atlantis’s history of shattering the starry sky. It’s only three hundred years!”

“The history of shattering the starry sky?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he asked with uncertainty, “Malfoy, you mean … Atlantis originally didn’t belong to the Broken Star System? But … didn’t the Suspended Continent condense its core in the Broken Star System over time?”

“That’s true for most continents! However, there are still some continents that are special cases!” Malfoy’s expression became serious.

‘”Qin Lun, have you ever thought … if all the floating continents were only slowly condensed from the shattered starry sky, then why would there be so many completely different law civilizations? After all, there are also space and time gates between the floating continents that can communicate with each other, and they are not completely isolated from each other.”

“Are you saying that the numerous intelligent races in the Shattered Star System … in the Ancient Era, they were originally civilizations from other worlds, but for some reason, the entire continent and the intelligent races above were teleported into the Shattered Star System?” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood what Malfoy meant.

‘”Yes, many of the ancient history of the Broken Star Sky is unverifiable. However, our elders believe that the Broken Star Sky itself cannot give birth to intelligent life. All the existing intelligent races originally came from law civilizations of different spacetime!” Malfoy said with a trace of yearning in his eyes.

“In other words, like the apostles, we are both time travelers. One of your mission worlds is the homeland of our elves!”
