Beside the wall outside the Emerald Tower, the woman in blue robes continued to cast spells. The transparent water flow was flying and drifting in the graceful strokes of her hands, and then fell to the surrounding areas. The water vapor gradually gathered nearby and then rose.
Freya slowly walked behind her sister, and her expressionless face finally changed: "Is this really okay..."
"Now that it has become like this, we must learn to accept it, my lovely sister." The blue robe was constantly shaking in the instigation of magic power, and combined with the flying head and blue eyes, the whole person was stunned.
There is an otherworldly sense of death, but the voice of its owner is still stable: "Fate has connected you and me with them, and then separated here, it should have its own meaning. Maybe they need to accept the final test
,but......"
The sleeves of the robe slipped down - Christine's hands gradually fell down, and what followed was the water surface that also became calm. When Duan Qing's team successfully entered the tower, her "open sea"
The task was then completed.
"...They are all excellent people, I believe so much." Christine patted the robe gently with both hands, then turned around, her beautiful big eyes blinking: "
What do you think, my lovely sister?"
"...Since Sister-in-law is like this, of course I believe it too." Freya's expression returned to calmness, but her attitude did not change.
"Ah, sometimes you are more stubborn than Jin... Has anyone told you this, Freya?" Christine sighed and shook her head, playing with her golden length: "
However, this is my lovely sister, oh hehe..."
She walked over and took Freya's hand: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean, this matter is actually nothing..." She held the expressionless sister's hand, casually
She shook it twice, as if coaxing the neighbor girl: "So, no matter what your idea is, sister, I will support you."
Then she let go and turned in a certain direction: "Now, it's time to face our fate."
She took out the staff from behind and held it in her hand - she didn't even use it when she was casting the spell before.
"cough......"
In the trees opposite, an old man coughed, and then a rickety figure slowly turned out from behind a big tree.
"Ahem...ahem...I'm sorry to disturb the intimacy between you two, but..."
The old man's clothes were very shabby, and the black cloth strips that could no longer be called clothes even revealed some of the skinny body that only belonged to the old man. His pale head hung sparsely on the old man's head.
, combined with the wrinkles on his face and some drooping cheeks, giving people a shaky feeling.
However, the great magician combination became serious at the same time.
"...but we have made an exception to let you occupy this place for one night. Would you like to...ahem...think about it..."
The old man stretched out his hand forward, and his skinny hand looked so weak.
"...Give us some time too?"
On Christine's blue robe, the golden lines suddenly lit up.
The blue ice wall suddenly appeared in front of her, and the next moment, there was a cracking sound from the ice wall - the ice wall was not broken, but a round hole suddenly appeared in the center of it.
, the broken traces came out of the round hole and quickly extended to the surroundings——
Wow!
The moment the ice wall completely collapsed, the red-robed woman's delicate voice sounded, and the hand covered under the sleeve of the robe had already been stretched out, and a long sword made of flames was extending from it.
A burning breath suddenly emitted from the air, which was the embers that had just been scratched by the flaming sword - on her side, a black figure had just rolled down from the air, holding a short sword in each hand. The short sword
The sword was completely black, and a strange purple-black light was flashing on it.
Freya was speechless, but her frowning eyebrows slowly rose.
"It seems that all the actors are here." The clicking sound echoed near the tower, which was the sound of Christine's footsteps walking on the bluestone. She walked towards the direction of the skinny old man, holding the staff in her right hand at the same time
With a swing, she waved the cracked ice wall into ice crystals all over the sky. She did not look back to see how her sister was doing, but stopped at a certain distance: "Oh, poor Kangweina, it's all like this
You are so old and still running around, you..."
She raised her staff and paused on the ground next to her: "...haven't you given up yet?"
"Our great cause is very necessary. You... ahem, you should understand that people like you..." The old man leaned on crutches and moved his fingers up and down: "And she, and
...Everyone in the Seven-member Council should understand..."
The old man covered his mouth and coughed twice more: "There are always things that need someone to do...and..." His old face suddenly showed a smile: "You are no longer old, aren't you running around too?
..."
"Oh hehehe..." Christine laughed like a queen again, but this time, she really put on the posture of a queen. She seemed to be angry, even the golden silk
They all flew in the air as the magic power transpired, and the tips of some heads gradually turned a watery white color.
"Old man, it seems you really think you have lived long enough..."
*********************
The process for Duan Qing and the others to enter the tower was actually not smooth, because after passing through the entrance on the wall, they had to find a way to climb to the first floor.
Although strictly speaking, this underwater area is considered the first floor.
There is a hole on the right side. It seems that there should have been a staircase here originally. It was probably made of wood, so it has now disappeared under the erosion of the water flow. Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice and Broken Mountain Mountain have higher attributes, so they are the two of them.
One goes up first, and then is responsible for pulling up the people behind. The separation of the water below also makes the situation on the floor clearly visible - it should have been intact there, but now there are many cracks, and the river probably flows from here.
An unknown place.
There are also many ancient furnishings here, which have been damaged beyond recognition due to long-term immersion, and Duan Qing and others do not have much time to observe these objects - God knows how long that water mage can last.
Sure enough, after Duan Qing was the last one to climb up, there was the sound of water converging from behind. Several people looked back and saw that the water surface had risen at the entrance of the cave and gradually became calmer.
"What to do with those two...two great magicians?" Mengzhu asked worriedly.
"It's okay, they will find a way to get in." Duan Qing replied: "After all, the strength is there, we don't have to worry... Have you started searching this place?"
"Not yet, but we can start now." It was Xue Ling Huan Bing who answered him. The woman turned her head and began to look at the dim room.
There were no windows on the second floor, but there was still light coming in. Duan Qing looked up and saw that there were some windows around the ceiling - it should have been a higher floor, but there was light coming through. It seemed that it should be some kind of
It's because of the clever design.
For some reason, this tower looks very big from the outside, but this floor is not very wide. Through the surrounding light, several people can see the opposite wall, which is about 10 meters away from the edge where they are.
It's only a dozen meters away. From the outside, the width of this tower should be at least twice as wide as here.
"It seems like this is really a magic tower. It's interesting..." Duan Shanyue made his own judgment and then took the lead in lighting the torch. The bright yellow light instantly illuminated everything here.
They were shocked by what they saw.
After yesterday's search of the ruins, Duan Qing and others had a general impression of this place that had spanned thousands of years. They were also mentally prepared to face the interior of a ruin-like tower. But now they see
The second floor of the tower they arrived at was beyond their expectations.
Here...almost perfectly preserved.
There are wooden tables, wooden chairs, bookcases, and beds. There is also a simple wooden box placed in the corner near the bed. There is a layer of yellow-gray carpet near the center on the other side, and some things that look like flower pots are placed on it.
On the stall, it looked like there should have been some plants growing there before, but they are no longer there. There was a wooden barrel near where they were, which seemed to be used to hold water, but now it was empty. A round room.
In the center, a round table is placed there, with some utensils like cups, plates, and candlesticks on it. Like all the furniture nearby, it has been covered with traces of time because it has not been used for a long time. But compared to the furniture outside
The fate he suffered was much better here.
Moreover, this looks like a place where someone lives.
"Good luck!" When Duan Qing's whistle sounded, Mengzhu also shouted in surprise: "Finally... finally there is a place to search, woo woo hoo...
"
Thinking of the various encounters he had encountered in the past few days and the almost fruitless results, even Duan Qing could not help but shed tears. But he still adhered to the spirit of a professional and waved his hand: "Try not to move, pay attention.
Agency, start a search."
Even if he didn't, the rest of the people knew what to do. Several people spread out and started looking for anything valuable in the room. The girl's excited voice even came from the girl: "Scarch, plunder"
..."
It seems that I have been holding it in for a long time...
Duan Qing also held it in for a long time. He looked around and then walked towards the bookcase that no one paid attention to.
****************
"Phoenix calendar year 548, water month o day."
"The weather is as cold as ever. I had another quarrel with that guy Cesc Fabregas. He always points to his seniority, but in fact his skills are very poor. No wonder he was sent to a place like this to work with me."
"Phoenix Calendar Year 548, Water Moon 6th."
"I need to send some money back. Mana's letter is complaining to me again. Am I willing to stay in this remote place? Everything is arranged by the empire..."
What Duan Qing was holding at this time seemed to be a diary. Duan Qing was not sure whether this diary was written by the owner of this room, but the other books were either obscure or unknown at all, so he flipped through them.
It took him a long time to find such a book that he could understand - he originally expected to find a magic skill book or something like this.
Most of the contents at the beginning of the diary were self-disclosures similar to those of a parent. Duan Qing originally didn't want to waste time on these things, but unfortunately there were no more useful things here, so Duan Qing had no choice but to browse through them casually.
.
Fortunately, those contents changed later.
"Phoenix Calendar Year 548, Water Moon 16th."
"The guards brought up a strange stone, which was found by nearby villagers. The stone seems to be related to magic absorption, and I plan to study it."
"That old man Cesc Fabregas is laughing at me for not doing a proper job again. In fact, what kind of job is there in this damn place that can be regarded as a proper job..."
"Phoenix Calendar Year 548, Water Moon 18th."
"There is a new discovery in the research. These stones have a very special reaction to the elements. They seem to have no rules and also have special rules. I need to go to that village to investigate its origins for further research."
"Fabrigas started to talk nonsense about what I did again, hum...why would such a mage be born in the world? This is simply an insult to this sacred profession! Can't he use his already...
Think about it with your shrunken brain, if this stone could be used for something, how much impact would it have on our current living conditions?"
"The empire will reward our achievements and contributions! We may be promoted! Even if we cannot leave here, our place will become an important border town! There may be a large area of prosperity!"
"Forget it, how could Fabregas have such a long-term vision..."
"...What are you looking at?" Xue Ling Huan Bing leaned over and stretched out her head towards the thing Duan Qing was holding.
"A diary." Duan Qing gestured, then looked at her: "What's wrong."
"I found a secret passage behind the closet, so I came here to inform everyone." Xue Ling Huan Bing pointed to a corner: "Others have already passed by, but I guess that there is nothing more than a passage leading to the upper level.
The arrangement of that wardrobe is very abnormal..."
She shrugged, then continued to stretch her head: "Let me see what's written in the diary..."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished reading it yet." In order to avoid the woman's breath, Duan Qing moved his body so that his arms would not continue to feel the softness of the other woman's chest: "I'll give it to you after I finish reading it...
....”
"Hey, angry..." Duan Qing's movements aroused the woman's curiosity even more. The black cloak shook twice, trying to get a glimpse of the contents of the diary, but in the end, he still couldn't find a suitable angle to peek.
Look, she waved her fists twice bitterly. Seeing that Duan Qing still ignored her, she had no choice but to go elsewhere to continue her search.
"Phoenix calendar year 548, water month o day."
"The team that went out to explore has returned. That kind of stone is very rich in reserves in the nearby area, and according to the villagers who have lived here for generations, this kind of stone seems to have signs of growth. However, according to my observation and speculation, the so-called
The growth of diamond is probably based on the same principle as the crystallization reaction of pukla diamond..."
"I brought back some green ores as materials for the next test. They should be enough. The stones that were previously infused with magic power all had different reactions. I need more samples to record them.
....”
There were gaps in the handwriting, and then the content of the day continued.
"Considering that I may need more of this green stone in the future, I plan to build a transfer station near the outpost to transport these ores. I'd better move some people here. They seem to be very idle, so they can be used as mine.
Serve my subordinates, serve the great empire..."
"I decided to name the village that was about to be born: Green Stone Village."
A chill ran down his spine, cold sweat spread all over his body, and a sudden malice suddenly struck Duan Qing's heart.
