Looking at the White Tower - the star of civilization, the hope of mankind, and the pride of reason.
You can enter the White Tower directly from Suze in the north, and you can also enter the White Tower's territory by walking southeast from Fararo. However, if you want to enter the White Tower from Kalar, there is only one way.
Although Kalar surrounds Fararu like a flat crescent moon, in fact, what is adjacent to the White Tower is only the lower half of the arc.
The City of Fortune is already very close to the White Tower. Even if you travel on a bad horse, you can reach it in two days by walking east from the City of Fortune.
However, because Roland had gone north to find Claudia, if he didn't want to cross Fararu's border when walking east, he had to go south.
But even so, it only took Roland and the four of them three days to vaguely see the shadow of the city.
Roland squinted his eyes and looked at the city appearing in the distance, with a little nostalgia in his eyes.
"The White Tower..."
I'm back.
The second half of the sentence was chewed gently by Roland and swallowed back into his stomach.
This is Iron Curtain City.
Unlike most people's understanding of the White Tower, the city is not so majestic and glorious as a paradise.
On the contrary - gray smoke constantly floats out from the city and condenses in the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds a dark color.
No, to be precise, there were no clouds in the sky that day.
Looking from a distance, it is not just that there are no clouds above the city. Even the clouds in the surrounding cities recede as if in fear, and the thick gray clouds covering the Iron Curtain City are as soft as gray-black pudding.
Surrounding the fog is a large, cloudless area of frighteningly blue color.
"...This is the White Tower?"
Claudia's tone was full of disbelief.
In any wizarding education she could receive, it was mentioned that the White Tower was a paradise for wizards.
Now it seems that this is not heaven? It is almost like hell!
"Ah... this is a polluted area. Just move a little further..."
Under Claudia's gaze, Anruosi felt the constant tingling and itching on the soles of his feet. His right hand holding the cane unconsciously exerted force, and his left hand was also clenched into a fist, rubbing it constantly.
It's not that he has any guilty conscience. The main reason is that the power Claudia has now is simply too terrifying.
It's a tingling sensation on your skin just by being close to it.
If that's all she is, then she will only be annoying.
But Claudia's temperament changed simultaneously. From that kind of gentle harmlessness and kindness to another one - more in line with the reason and mystery of the wizard.
If Claudia felt like a gemstone ring before, now she feels like a jointed wooden staff studded with amethysts——
I'm sorry An Ruosi can only think of this type of metaphor.
To put it simply, the same beauty has changed from harmless charm to another kind of intoxicating danger.
After Roland revived Claudia and informed her of Kluvien's death, Claudia seemed to be a changed person instantly.
In addition to becoming soft in front of Roland and gentle in front of An Ruosi, anyone who sees her can't help but shudder.
"Okay, Claudia, calm down."
Roland switched the cane from his right hand to his left, took two steps back, passed his right hand around Claudia's back and gently pressed her shoulder.
Then, Roland leaned into Claudia's ear and whispered: "My Holy Lady, you have lost control again."
Claudia realized her gaffe, slowed down, took a deep breath, and then showed a perfect smile to Roland: "Then I have adjusted now. My Lord Pope, you can let me go.
?”
"If you want."
Roland shrugged and took his right hand down, but he couldn't help but smile.
If An Ruosi was familiar with him, he would know that this temperament is unique to the undead.
Of course, Claudia is not undead.
Claudia's injuries caused by Kluvien's blade shield being thrown out were far more serious than Roland imagined.
Five of her sternums were broken. The knee of her right leg was fractured, and her right arm was shattered into pieces. The shoulder joints also fell off, and the broken bones of her right arm penetrated the artery. There were even two wounds on her chest.
A bone spur penetrated the lung.
However, even with such an injury, Claudia managed to survive for half an hour and still did not die. Finally, Roland used the harmless chant on her.
Roland knew that Claudia was actually dead long ago.
If Roland could check her attributes at that time, he would find that her health points had returned to zero.
But because of the mercy of the Everlasting Master, she did not let the law of Orm's Wall take away her soul, so she could wait until An Ruosi carried her to see Roland and receive the treatment of the harmless chant.
If the time is longer - it doesn't need to be much, as long as Claudia is not resurrected before the sun sets, she will become an undead.
It's not difficult to do this.
Roland had faced a choice before in the basement.
If he had not given up on cultivating the plague that was effective on the Dusk Familia before the White Tower collapsed, Roland would have definitely found a way to collect the body parts of the pyroxene species so that he could cultivate humans mixed with the blood of Dusk.
After that, Roland will dismantle these machines and check whether there are any remaining raw materials of Glow Blood inside.
Although Roland knew that the outcome would probably not happen.
You know, it takes a long time to drink the blood of radiance until it mutates, otherwise there would be no reason for Xingia to wait so long to find this army.
The biggest reason why Roland entered Xingia's tavern and directly saw the hell on earth coming before his eyes is that someone mixed their glow blood with the demonized glow blood made from the blood of the people of dusk.
.
Even those who usually drank the blood of radiance couldn't bear the blood full of chaotic magic, and they mutated one by one in front of Roland.
Roland now looks back and thinks that the person who threw the pyroxene species into the blood pumping chamber to contaminate all the glow blood and induce the mutation of these ghouls was probably that "Edward".
——But if Roland had gone to investigate those machines at that time, the result would have been that Claudia would not be able to see Roland until dark, and eventually died completely and then resurrected, becoming an undead.
In the case where Claudia and Roland are not on the same side, if Roland attracts the hatred of the Death Crow, the biggest possibility is death.
It can be said that that is a crucial choice.
On the other hand, for Claudia, this near-death experience was also extremely important.
The experience during this period of time successfully caused Claudia to have a close friend die in front of her eyes while protecting herself. Claudia acquired the cruel thinking trait, as well as the most important trait of a priest of the Sleeping Mentor - "Death Experience".
Death experience (personal characteristics)
Effect: All divine spells involving the realm of death you cast will gain a 50% bonus in effect and success rate; you are no longer affected by prophecy-type spells.
——I come from the land of death, and all my past lives are dust.
There are so many magical spells on the list of magic spells with a success rate of 65% to 80%, which emphasizes how important this feature is to the Death Crow.
A death crow that has never died once cannot be considered a real death crow.
Thinking of this, Roland turned around and glanced at Joseph, who was walking behind silently, and raised his eyebrows.
...Of course, compared to the less perfect Death Crow, Roland does not want Claudia to be inaugurated as a martyr.
"Roland, where is this?"
At this moment, Claudia turned back to Roland and asked.
The temperament on her body was put away again. She became a normal person again.
"This city is called the Iron Curtain."
Roland opened his mouth and replied.
"You know, the gadgets made by wizards are really too dangerous compared to the useless but safe toys of alchemists."
"Not to mention using it, even if it is destroyed, if it is not handled properly, it will cause a large-scale disaster."
"Early on, this city was caused by someone destroying a large number of enchanted items, which caused the nearby Orm Law to be disordered, and even opened a space crack leading to the underground..."
"Underground? You mean underground?!"
Claudia exclaimed.
"...Yes, it's that underground."
An Ruosi took over Roland's words, her eyes full of fear: "Then this city was undoubtedly destroyed."
"So, after the wizards killed or captured the underground species, they spent a lot of effort to smooth out the chaotic laws here. Then, after research and discussion, they decided on such a thing-"
"In order to ensure that the magic power defined by Orm's Law will not leak out and cause greater pollution, damaged enchanted items must be destroyed, but they must be destroyed in a special furnace. However, because the power of the furnace is not enough, the contaminated magic power will still be
Escapes as magic dust."
"This magic dust is not a good thing. Whether it is long-term contact or breathing, it will over-order the flesh and blood - in short, it will turn into stone."
Roland did not hide the disdain in his tone: "Claudia, if you look carefully, you will find that people coming in and out of this city either cover themselves up tightly, or
Just a dull look and stiff limbs..."
"...but why here?"
"It's very simple," Roland replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because this place was destroyed once by the underground race and it's worthless."
"This lady is right."
Before Claudia could respond, a young man's voice came from behind several people. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.
