Thales finally knew what it felt like to fall from a high altitude.
That is - no feeling.
Just because of the feeling of being helpless and weightless, it can drain away all thoughts and take away the independent control of the body in an instant!
All that remains is panic, confusion and confusion.
A cold wind is coming.
"Huhu..."
Thales was held in Black Sword's arms with one arm. He trembled his lips, unable to say anything.
In the high-speed wind, even breathing became difficult.
Thales's mind went blank.
At that moment, that strange wave surged through the body, as if even time slowed down.
But this time, that kind of fluctuation did not bring him miracles.
The violent air flow blew through their sleeves.
They are still falling.
The Longxiao City beneath him is getting bigger and bigger, becoming clearer and clearer.
And he can't do anything.
Thales could only close his eyes, his mind empty and waiting for his death.
At this moment, the black sword behind him suddenly moved.
"hiss--"
The sharp sound of metal scraping against the rock surface rang in my ears again.
Thales felt his body falling downwards, as if gravity had returned!
He opened his eyes suddenly.
There was a flash of fire in his eyes.
Thales looked in shock as an arm stretched out from behind him, holding the weird black sword and scraping a string of sparks on the cliff!
They continued to slow down as they fell.
The next second, Thales felt a sudden shock!
There was a sudden weight underneath me, and a tearing sensation in my trunk and a dizzy feeling in my brain hit me at the same time.
Thales couldn't help but retched several times.
He panted and found that his breathing became easier again.
Huh?
The Prince of the Stars was surprised to find a second later that they had stopped.
Thales couldn't help but gasp.
Their falling momentum was arrested, and they were now hovering on the cliff.
Moreover, he who was originally falling on his head and feet has already fallen over.
I - survived?
Thales raised his head in disbelief and took a clear look at the situation in front of him.
I saw that the strange sword of Black Sword had long since disappeared, and his right hand was now firmly grasping a thin rope.
The other end of the rope was firmly tied to a thick nail, which was driven deeply into the cliff.
Hanging them helplessly on the cliff firmly in the air!
But Black Sword gritted his teeth, and his right hand was full of blood.
"Clang!"
There was the sound of metal falling to the ground beneath me.
Only then did Thales come back to his senses, and before he knew it, he was already covered in cold sweat.
"This rope," Star Prince asked in disbelief, "were you prepared in the first place?"
Black Sword sneered lightly.
"Bring Aixida here for a duel," Black Sword let go of his hand lightly, and they slid down the rope at a constant speed: "Just to have a way out."
Although the rope on Black Sword's hand is small, it seems to be extremely tough, as if it was specially made for this kind of activity.
Thales looked at Black Sword's hand in surprise, seeing the blood flowing out from it due to the high-speed friction just now, but the latter seemed not to notice it, as if it was not his hand.
"Boom!"
They landed on a protruding irregular rock on the edge of the cliff.
Thales held on to the rock wall with some weak legs, looking at Longxiao City below - the roofs of many houses could be clearly seen - panting hard, trying to regulate his breathing.
But what he should be more worried about is the current situation: Thales is starting to think about his relationship with the person in front of him, and his options after using him to get rid of Asheida.
What will he do with himself?
Does he know who he is?
The news that Asheida just said - Thales' breathing slowly quickened - if the black sword was the murderer of the Crown Prince of Midir twelve years ago...
That means he is...
In the Mindis Hall, Gilbert told him that those who killed the eldest son of the king were the assassins of Shadow Shield.
In the Palace of Heroes, Grand Duke Perfitt said before his death that Shadow Shield had always longed for his life.
Thinking of the key, Thales' heart skipped a beat.
Thales gritted his teeth and glanced warily at the black sword with his back facing him: This person is very likely...
But at that moment, when Thales stared at him, Black Sword suddenly turned back!
Thales was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his fists clenched!
His scalp felt numb - as if he was being targeted by a powerful predator.
Black Sword took a deep look at Thales.
A pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.
Thales didn't dare to say anything out loud, he just pulled the corners of his mouth ugly and forced a smile.
Heijian frowned and took a breath.
When he realized that the boy in front of him was looking at him with hostility, Heijian lost the coldness in his eyes and turned back expressionlessly.
Black Sword picked up the Black Sword that had just fallen and started to dress up again.
And Thales's palms were already covered in cold sweat.
This guy - does he have eyes on his back? How come he can even feel my eyes?
Thales lowered his head and clenched his fists.
After escaping from Aixida, he had to face such a dangerous and terrifying gang boss again - his inner uneasiness only increased.
No, I'd better not reveal my identity.
We still need to find a way to escape safely and return to the Palace of Heroes.
Thales tried to regulate his breathing.
But something unsatisfactory always happens: a familiar voice rings in Thales's ears.
"Why have you been gone for so long!" A figure emerged from behind the rock, his tone full of anxiety.
Under the moonlight, Thales saw the person coming clearly, and his eyes widened immediately!
Isn't it?
Am I so unlucky?
Hearing that voice, Heijian didn't look back and said in a calm tone: "We ran into a little trouble...Have you put the rope down?"
"It was ready five minutes ago. You can slide down to the shield area." The new old man who appeared on the rock lay on the edge and stretched out his hand to pull out a similar thin rope.
"You inflicted wounds on yourself again..." The old man saw Heijian's embarrassed appearance and frowned: "I'm not saying that I just went back to the Palace of Heroes to get something..."
The old man's words stopped abruptly.
He saw Thales beside the black sword.
The old man's mouth opened in surprise.
Thales blinked, showed an awkward smile, raised his hand and waved reluctantly: "Hello..."
"Mr. Ramon."
I saw the Black Doctor of the Brotherhood, the suspected inheritor of magic, Ramon, who was supposed to be in the Palace of Heroes and in the Star Mission, the prince who was holding on to the rock wall blankly and looking at the stars in surprise.
Thales' heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.
that's too bad.
Black Sword, is he here to save Ramon?
Ramon knows his identity very well.
Moreover... his relationship with him is by no means friendly.
"Him?" Sure enough, Ramon's first reaction was to point at Thales and turn to Black Sword, his face full of disbelief: "Why did you bring this guy here!"
Thales shrugged, his calm smile showing no ripples.
But his brain was running in a panic.
what to do?
If Black Sword knew I was a shining star...
If he really had - then he certainly wouldn't have been unresponsive!
Thales clenched his fists.
Can't bet on his attitude.
The strange doctor sighed, and saw Ramon covering his head with a sad face: "He is just an eternal oil barrel, he will catch up with him at a moment's notice!"
"You kidnapped him, how can we escape!"
"Do you know him?" Heijian grabbed a triangular metal button from his hand, took the time to try the hanging rope, and asked with his usual expression, "Who is he?"
"he is--"
At this moment.
"Doctor Ramon!" Thales suddenly said, seeming very happy.
Ramon raised his eyebrows, thinking of Thales' "mind-reading skills", his face suddenly turned ugly.
But Thales' next words made his face change drastically!
"By the way, I just found out the origin of the Tower of Soul yesterday," Thales said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you, ah, it turns out that the Tower of Soul was established after the Battle of Survival in the Age of Kings.
The mage named Yili Crescent..."
Ramon's eyes widened in surprise.
Before Black Sword turned around, Thales winked at him, nodded his head with a threatening face, and made a gesture of crossing his hands.
Ramon was stunned.
"...The Tower of Soul is a twin tower. It is located in a place called the 'Jiaojiao Peninsula'. There seems to be a large research branch inside, called the 'Seat of Ten Thousand Dharmas'. Maybe we should find some time to sit down."
Let’s talk?”
Ramon's eyes widened and his hands trembled slightly.
Thales shook his head firmly at him - only hoping that Doctor Strange could understand what he meant: "Of course, we'd better keep it a secret?"
"Tower of Souls?"
Heijian narrowed his eyes and turned around: "Is he your colleague?"
Ramon came back to his senses. He looked at Thales, who was looking calm and energetic, and then at the black sword under his hand.
"Ah! This guy - he is..." Ramon's face dimmed, as if he had thought of something. He looked at the black sword, and his words couldn't help but stagnated: "The youngest son of a certain lord in the Palace of Heroes is interested in magic.
…”
"These days, it is not easy to meet a noble who knows and does not reject magic," Ramon rubbed his hands and chuckled: "I plan to rely on his resources for a long time after he grows up..."
Thales breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
He had experienced the Black Sword's perception ability and did not dare to make any move at all. He just sighed silently in his heart.
"Magic? Huh," Black Sword ignored their quarrel and didn't ask in detail: "So, this is the reason why Aixida kidnapped him?"
These words seemed to freeze the already cold air.
"Asheida - him?" Ramon's expression changed drastically and he looked around: "This is Exeter, Dragon Sky City - have you met the Qi Magician?"
"Just saying hello." Heijian said lightly.
"Speaking of this," Black Sword installed the metal slide buckle, and finally pulled the hanging rope. With a cold expression, he pulled out the small red sword from his waist and threw it to Ramon: "Lance is in 'Blue Ambition'
The weapons found..."
"I almost let the monster eat it - it does nothing but scare people!"
"How is that possible?" Ramon hurriedly avoided the edge of the sword and picked up the small red sword with doubts in his eyes. "Did the boss lady also miss the point?"
"Is it a fake?"
"Maybe yes, now that I think about it, we were too confident," Black Sword frowned, "After all, it is a legendary anti-magic weapon with strange power that can seal the magic master, and it is just placed in the underground mezzanine of the 'Blue Ambition'
Here, it’s too childish.”
"I can only think of other ways."
"But the letter from the boss lady said that this is the only legendary anti-devil force we can find," Ramon scratched his head: "Other weapons are firmly in the hands of various countries - you can still join the army
, go and steal the Kingdom's Wrath's Immovable Bow? Or go to the Thirty-eight Watchtowers and steal the Death Horn's Time Crossbow?"
Heijian's face darkened and he shook his head: "We'll talk about this later. Now we have to leave quickly."
Thales saw the small red sword.
No one knew that the moment Black Sword drew out the small red sword, Thales felt a burning sensation in his heart.
On the edge of the cliff, watching the black sword pull out, that strangely familiar feeling came over again.
Thales stared blankly at the small red sword.
what happened?
According to them, this should be a fake of the legendary anti-demon armed force?
At this moment, the black sword suddenly raised its head!
He looked towards the sky above his head, his expression became very scary.
Black Sword lowered his head, pulled Ramon and Thales over, and pushed them towards the descending rope: "Let's go!"
Ramon's face turned pale: "How..."
"Let's go!"
Black Sword's words suddenly sped up, his tone full of anxiety: "He found us!"
Thales was startled, and he realized what Black Sword's words meant.
"He?" Ramon was shocked.
"Even with such a heavy snowstorm and such a long distance..." Black Sword put the rope around Ramon's waist and tied him and Thales together without any explanation: "I underestimated the ability of the magician!"
Thales frowned—damn it, he still hadn't completely escaped Asheida.
"I'll stop him." Heijian said coldly.
"But..." Ramon's face was full of panic and he wanted to say something.
"Take him with you," Black Sword thrust the slide buckle into Ramon's hand. Before the pale Ramon could react, he raised his leg without warning, "Go down first!"
"Wait - we -" Ramon raised his eyebrows and looked at Thales in disbelief, but before he could say the second half of the sentence...
The black sword kicked him off the cliff!
"damn it--"
"You——Black Sword!"
"hateful!"
Amid Ramon's unwilling exclamation, Thales once again experienced the feeling of weightlessness, and he continued to slide down with him!
Thales took a deep breath,
Fortunately, it was obviously not the first time Ramon had done this. Although he was furious and cursed, he still skillfully controlled the slide buckle in his hand and slid down safely with Thales.
They had just slipped down more than ten meters when the crisp sound of the sword's impact and the rapid sound of the air flow were heard above their heads!
"Damn it," Ramon looked at the top of his head worriedly as he slid down, lowered his head, and said viciously: "Listen, kid, you must tell me the news about the Soul Tower before you go back to the Palace of Heroes...and then stay farther away from me.
The better!”
"You are simply a picky person, you encounter new dirty things every day..."
"Hey!" Without the black sword by his side, Thales was relieved. He grabbed the rope and protested dissatisfied: "That's how you describe your savior? And...how did you escape from the palace?
"
"Savior?" Ramon's expression changed.
"Come on, you're just a cunning brat who tells lies?" Ramon remembered something and said angrily: "You still want to lie to me that you can read minds!"
Thales' face froze: "How do you know?"
"I'm not an idiot!" Doctor Strange looked disgusted: "I guessed it when you asked me about magic that day!"
In their field of vision, the urban area below them was getting closer and closer - this seemed to be a shabby area in Longxiao City. Although they could only see the rooftops and streets, they could still clearly see the messy layout and dilapidated appearance of this urban area.
Finally, they landed safely behind a hut and stepped on the unique uneven stone ground of Longxiao City.
Thales relived the sense of security of having his feet on the ground, and a sense of joy filled his heart.
"You know," Thales pulled himself away from the rope, his mind was churning, and he said nonchalantly: "The black sword can't stop him - we'd better run away by ourselves."
"Don't worry about Black Sword, that guy will definitely not die," Ramon pulled off the rope and nodded with deep understanding: "But I agree with what you said!"
The two reached a consensus and ran away without looking back!
Running onto the empty streets.
As long as he meets the patrol - Thales gasped and gritted his teeth: At least he can report the news to Putilai and the others!
But before they ran far, they heard a loud noise behind them!
"boom!"
Snowflakes were flying all over the sky behind me.
Thales and Ramon were both shocked!
They looked at each other, not daring to look back, and just ran faster and faster along the street.
I ran for three full minutes.
Many residents were awakened along the way.
The window of a room behind him opened, and a man yawned and stretched his head curiously.
A dog from the resident's house on the left was awakened from a good sleep and barked maliciously at them.
A woman's yelling came from the room ahead.
In the upper left corner of a two-story house, a basin of water was thrown out in anger.
A wine bottle was thrown out of a shop with a sign on the rear right.
Both of them didn't care at all, they just kept walking and ran out of breath.
Thales had walked through the streets a lot in the past, and he was not slow when running on the chaotic streets. However, children have limited physical strength after all, and although Ramon is an adult, he doesn't seem to exercise very much. He starts to pant after taking two steps.
.
Coupled with the poor visibility in the early morning - eventually, their speed inevitably slowed down.
Finally, a hurried order came from the front!
"What's going on with the footsteps in front of you? Follow me!"
"Third team, fourth team, you go patrol the left street. You must meet up every five minutes. The meeting team must send a messenger to report back!"
"Team 6 and Team 9, immediately go to the place where the earthquake was heard to investigate - it should be under the Sky Cliff!"
"If any team members, soldiers, or residents report missing..."
"When encountering any suspicious person, we must not let him go...but making a safe report is the first priority!"
"There is an order from above. When encountering incomprehensible things or people - these are their exact words - fire signal crossbows immediately!"
There seem to be quite a few people!
A hope surged in Thales's heart, while Ramon's face turned pale and he seemed a little nervous.
"It's okay," Thales comforted him: "As long as I reveal my identity..."
But at this moment, two hands suddenly stretched out from the alley beside him!
