The tower is a landmark building in the village of Novi Ryvinska, built in memory of the families who founded the town.
Xing Ze moved forward carefully, with ravens checking the sky above. He had avoided a wave of wizards and a wave of Muggles along the way.
Although capable Muggles and wizards in the entire town are killing each other, judging from these two groups of people, they are in peace with each other, and it is not even fair to say that there is a clear division of labor.
Muggles armed with firearms searched the ground, while wizards riding broomsticks provided them with a good view from above.
Xing Ze hid behind the trash can in the alley and estimated the distance between himself and the tower. If he followed the original route, he would definitely be discovered by the wizards in the sky.
But if he chooses another route, he doesn't know whether those routes are safe or whether he will run into enemies.
What's even worse is that time does not allow him to take a long detour. He should have arrived at the hospital five minutes ago.
"Damn it," he swore under his breath, waiting for the group of Muggles to walk through the alley, then sneaking across the street like cats.
Arriving at the entrance of a coffee shop, he hid behind an overturned table outside Di'anmen, waiting for the wizard in the sky to pass by on the other side.
Then, he jumped into the coffee shop and strode out towards the kitchen. Almost every restaurant's kitchen has a door to ensure the transportation of ingredients and kitchen waste.
Although it takes a bit of a detour to walk through the back doors of these buildings, it is at least much safer than walking through the uncovered streets.
He opened the kitchen door and bumped into a man coming out with his belt pulled up.
Both of them were stunned on the spot. Xing Ze was the first to take action. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the man's neck, lifted him up and threw him on the side dish table.
Suddenly cups and plates were flying around, making loud noises. The man let out a muffled groan, reached out and grabbed Xing Ze's hand, trying to pry it open.
But he tried his best, with veins popping up on his hands and forehead, but he couldn't move the hand at all.
Xing Ze frowned and looked at the young woman lying next to the stove. Her clothes were messy, her face was pale, and her lower body was even red.
The back door was pushed open with a bang, and another guy in a black jacket rushed in from the outside.
Xing Ze let go of his hand, ducked down to avoid the man's shooting, picked up a fork from the ground and stabbed the previous man in the leg.
The guy wailed, straightened up from the table, and shouted to his companion: "Kill him, damn it, kill this kid."
Even without him saying anything, the black jacket strode around the table, but Xing Ze had already disappeared.
The man on the table pointed to his right, "This way, idiot, over here, ah-fuck you." His pointing hand was pierced by a table knife, and he jumped off the table in pain.
He jumped too hard and hurt the wound on his leg, causing him to scream again.
The black jacket quickly came to the right side of the table, but Xing Ze had already slipped through the gap below to the opposite side.
"Come out, bastard." Black Jacket was so angry that he simply climbed onto the table, but the flying pan hit him in the head and he fell down from the table.
Xing Ze took a meat cleaver from the stove and walked to the man in a few steps.
"I'm looking for four children, one older and three younger." He asked in a deep voice, "Tell me what you know and I can spare your life."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I...I have seen them. They went to the tower. Crazy Manny led people to chase them." The man changed his arrogance and backed away tremblingly.
"How long has it been?"
"About...about ten minutes ago."
"Thank you." Xing Ze smiled. He raised the knife and dropped it. Red liquid flowed out from the man's crotch. It often takes a while for the pain to reach the brain.
"ah--"
He stood up, threw away the knife, and looked at the young woman. She was already dead.
"I'll let you go, but she won't."
Xing Ze walked up to the black jacket, bent down and took the gun from his hand, and then shot the man in the head.
…
"Where are you taking me?" Edwin looked around cautiously. The hooded wizard took her to an abandoned building.
"We're almost there." The wizard walking in front said back, "Soon, do you see the room in front? It's right there."
This abandoned building was not far from the supermarket, but even so, they met three wizards on the way there.
However, Edwin did not take action. The hooded wizard was very powerful and easily defeated the three people with one person.
In her opinion, the strength of this mysterious man was comparable to that of the Golden Sun. She estimated in her mind how much chance she had of winning now.
"I am not an enemy. Miss Edwin von Winkler, stop looking at me with that look."
The hooded wizard stopped and opened the shabby curtain for the female scholar, "If I wanted to do something bad to you, I wouldn't have bothered to put so much effort into bringing you here to do it."
Edwin withdrew her gaze, walked into the room, and found that it was just a very ordinary rough room.
"If you're trying to sell me a house, you're failing."
The hooded wizard didn't say anything. He walked straight to a wall in the room, then stretched out his hand and pressed it on it.
As the magic power poured in, the wall emitted a dazzling light. As the light gradually stabilized, a strange magic circle gradually emerged.
Edwin recognized this magic circle. It was a very advanced sealing magic circle, only two levels lower than those on the Egyptian pyramids.
As the light dissipated, the wall disappeared, and a dark room appeared in front of the two of them.
The hooded wizard walked in first, and Edwin followed after hesitating for a moment.
The dark room was very large, and the spacious space was filled with various documents and information. With a rumble, the disappeared wall reappeared.
"This is?" Edwin looked at the photos and documents hanging all over the room, and couldn't help but have more doubts on his face.
The wizard took off his hood and replied in a hoarse voice: "The Screamer, the shadow of Ravenska Village, the blasphemous monster, the visitor from the dreamland. It has many names.
"Since my ancestor Edward summoned it from a dream, it has had many identities. Butler, doctor, coachman... and even a prostitute."
"Your ancestor?" Edwin whispered quietly, and she suddenly understood something.
"Yes, my ancestor Edward Mendez..."
As the wizard spoke, he took off his mask. His resolute face was covered with scars, one of which was particularly obvious, starting from the right forehead downward, passing through both eyebrows and eyes, and extending to the root of the ear on the other side.
Edwin raised his eyebrows and said in a surprised but confused tone: "You are Sheikh Mendez."
"It's really hard for you. You can recognize me when I become like this." He praised in a hoarse voice.
