After settling in the hotel, Arthur put on a high-end military blue silk dress embroidered with gold, dressing up as luxuriously as if he were attending a dinner party, and then went out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the witch Bayoletta guarding outside, and forced out an indifferent smile: "So, are you planning to take me to meet your [mentors]?"
"You really rely on your clothes?" Bayoletta looked at Arthur up and down and said in a slightly mocking tone. However, in fact, the body of the blond boy Arthur is currently borrowing is very handsome, and it becomes even more beautiful when paired with a luxurious dress.
The witch was so impressive that she wanted to taunt him, but in the middle of the taunt, she suddenly started to blush seriously.
"Why are you blushing? Even if you pretend to blush, I won't think you are cute." Arthur mocked in turn. Bayuretta is actually not bad looking, she can even be said to be a great beauty. But she looks slender.
Goosi looked too much like her, and Arthur hated Morgoth so much that he naturally lowered his favorable impression of this witch.
"Forget it." The girl calmed down and put her hands on her hips, "[The mentors] have wanted to meet you for a long time. But there is an absolute condition: you can only come alone. Let your other companions wait in the hotel."
"No. Who knows what your [mentors] will do to me. I have to at least bring Bedi with me." The Knight King said coldly: "If you can't bring people, you can always bring a wolf."
"If you tell me you can't do it, you can't do it." Bayoletta's attitude was very tough.
"Forget it, please come back." Arthur's attitude was also very tough.
The two stared at each other, and they were at a stalemate for a while.
A black butterfly suddenly flew in from the small window in the corridor and landed on Bayoletta's shoulder. The witch paused for a few seconds and suddenly changed her words: "Okay. The [mentors] said you can bring more wolves."
"Bedi?" Arthur said in a commanding tone. The big white wolf behind him followed and squatted behind the blond young man. The wolf even carried a silver sword on its saddle and was fully armed.
"I really hope the instructors will not regret this decision." The girl shook her head and said, "Follow me."
"Where to go?" Arthur couldn't help but wonder when he saw Bayoletta walking towards his room.
"Anyway, follow me." The witch even walked directly into Arthur's room.
Bedivere tilted his head and stuck out his tongue at Arthur with a deliberate grimace. Arthur then lightly kicked the big white wolf and followed into the room. As soon as he stepped into the room, Bayoletta had already thrown one on the ground.
The small black ball, the black on the ball expanded rapidly, covering the entire wall of the room in an instant, and naturally also covered the windows.
Black screen barrier? This advanced information shielding spell actually reappeared nine hundred years later in this world with extremely low photon civilization!
Wait, that is not a perfect shady barrier. Arthur turned his head and glanced, fearing that Bedivere could not enter the barrier. As a result, the big white wolf walked through the blockade of the shady barrier and walked in.
A normal shady barrier has a certain degree of defense. People from the outside cannot see through or eavesdrop. It even requires a certain amount of destructive power to break through the barrier from the outside. But Bediwell can penetrate the barrier so easily and run away.
Come in and prove that the "shady barrier" used by Bayoletta is just an imitation, far worse than the real thing!
Despite this, she used this to isolate herself from outside surveillance, proving that what she was going to do next must be kept highly confidential. Sure enough, she threw another magic device on the ground, and the thing unfolded on the ground, and then opened a flat sheet.
The "membrane" laid.
"A portal?" Arthur said.
"Go in quickly. Although the shielding technique can block outside surveillance, the windows in your room are always dark, which will definitely arouse suspicion." Bayoletta urged.
Arthur nodded and jumped into the portal. Bedivere followed quickly, and Bayoletta walked at the end. After she jumped over, she stretched out a hand from the other side of the door and took off the item directly.
Unfold the magic device of the portal. The portal disappears almost simultaneously with the surrounding darkness, leaving only an inconspicuous cross-shaped mark on the floor.
"Is this the Archmage's Tower?" Arthur looked around and found that he was in a crystal courtyard.
There was also an ivory tower in the original world where Arthur and the others lived nine hundred years ago. There was also a similar crystallized courtyard inside the ivory tower, which was full of all kinds of strange plants and minerals. But the courtyard in front of Arthur was different from the ivory tower nine hundred years ago.
The courtyard is a little different, the atmosphere is very different, not to mention the plants and minerals planted in it.
Arthur raised his head and glanced at the famous ivory tower. However, it was badly damaged. All the buildings with more than ten floors were damaged, and all the buildings with more than 12 floors collapsed and disappeared. There were still some ruins floating in the sky regardless of gravity.
The sky is dark and hazy. This is neither a night sky nor a blue sky during the day. There is not even a single cloud. It is more like some kind of alien space.
The ivory tower was not the one Arthur knew, and it had been attacked not long ago.
"What good things has the Holy See done?" Arthur then asked.
"You can guess this right with your eyes closed." Bayoletta laughed and began to walk deeper into the courtyard, leading Arthur and Bedivere into the back door of the ivory tower.
In extraordinary times, the interior of the ivory tower can become a maze, composed of thousands of teleportation traps. People who step into the ivory tower without permission will be dizzy by the teleportation traps and are constantly teleported to various places.
In a random room. If you encounter a teleportation trap with a high lethality level, the intruder may be directly teleported into a "death chamber" full of killing mechanisms. There is no exit in that kind of room, and there is no way to escape. Once inside, it is almost impossible to escape.
Death is certain.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to go deep into the Ivory Tower without someone to guide you. Although Arthur came as a "guest" this time, it is difficult to say that he is absolutely safe. Because he still does not know the attitude of the Mages Association towards him, let alone
He knows whether the mages are willing to cooperate with him.
However, the King of Knights followed the witch a few steps and was immediately sent to a certain hall by the teleportation device. The magnificently decorated hall was the ceremonial hall specially used by the Mage Association to entertain distinguished guests. Although the layout was not the same as what Arthur remembered.
It's a little different, but its general shape and size are still consistent.
The King of Knights breathed a sigh of relief and saw a lady waiting in the hall.
She was indeed wearing the robe of the chief mage of the Mage Association. The gorgeous crimson velvet robe entwined with gold showed that this woman belonged to the master of the entropy energy system. But she was too young, looking like she was in her early thirties but not even forty years old, and she didn't even have the time.
Leaving wrinkles on her face, she can even be described as beautiful. Why she can become the chief mage at such a young age, Arthur can see the clues from her appearance--because of her appearance and
Lotus sounds very similar.
The big white wolf Bediwell on the side also squinted his eyes to take a closer look at the red-robed chief mage. What he saw in his eyes was not just Lianyin, but the great teacher Clara who taught him spells--or maybe
He said that Lianyin originally looked like a younger version of Clara.
Great Teacher Clara once said that all Patimos (magic warfare artificial beings made by ancient gods and humans) were created based on her template. This explains why Lian Yin, who is Patimo, looks like this
Like Clara. And the lady in front of Bedivere looks a little older than Lianyin and a little younger than Clara (almost invisible). It seems that she is also a Patimo? If so, please explain
That's her achievement. Patimo's magic skills are already superb, and in addition, artificial people like Patimo hardly age, and they may end up looking like this after living for thousands of years.
She just looks young, but in fact she may be the oldest person in the Mage Association, and she is also the best at using magic. What's more, it seems to be a tense period of war between the Mage Association and the Holy See. The entropy energy system can directly cause huge combat damage.
The great mage will naturally become the center of the entire ivory tower.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Aslan." The other party said as soon as they met: "I am the contemporary chief mage of the Mage Association. You can call me Rosa."
It's just [Rosa]. Mages who believe in mysticism almost never report their full or real names. This [Rosa] is probably just a short pseudonym.
"Hello, Ms. Rosa." Arthur bowed and saluted: "You are so good at predicting things. You have already guessed the reason for this visit."
"The Holy See." Ms. Rosa smiled and replied briefly: "Our common enemy."
"And it seems that you have already had a fight with the church?" Arthur asked back.
"Six months ago, yes. And it was a disastrous defeat." Rosa smiled bitterly: "The church got information from secret channels and raided the ivory tower. Twelve of the twenty-four great mages had been instigated by the church to rebel, and the rest
Six more of the twelve were killed in the battle, and most of the elite soldiers were killed or injured. The church is not only good at using spells, they seem to have made some kind of contract with the [angels] they said they would use strange moves. But I think that
Not an [angel], but more like a [demon]. Those undead monsters are hideous, and spells are ineffective against them."
The Holy Spirit... or an evil spirit? Arthur thought to himself. There are people in this world who can manipulate spirits, and they really have to be on guard against it.
"In short, we managed to get the Ivory Tower to activate teleportation and escaped from the church's siege. I won't bother you with the remaining details."
"So...I don't think you will have any extra troops to lend to me?" Arthur asked bluntly.
"I'm sorry, that's how it is." Rosa smiled bitterly again: "Now the Mage Association can barely protect itself. If the church finds this hiding place again, the Ivory Tower does not have enough magic power to launch another teleportation, we are afraid
It will all be destroyed."
"Sitting here and waiting for death is not an option. Instead of defending a half-broken empty city, it is better to counterattack." Arthur said: "But I will not force you. Even without your help, I plan to invade the Vatican."
Bayoletta on the side finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you serious? You really don't know the terror of the Papal Knights? You are sending yourself to death!"
"There will always be a way." Arthur said calmly: "No matter what, the church captured Joan of Arc, and I want to rescue her. At any cost."
When the King of Knights said this, Rosa kept staring at him, as if she wanted to confirm something. But there was no hesitation in King Arthur's eyes. What was in those firm eyes was not arrogance, recklessness, ignorance, or ignorance.
Not arrogant.
That is to achieve the goal at all costs, the heart of darkness.
That is the golden will to keep moving forward no matter how difficult the road ahead is.
Chief Mage Rosa wants to confirm only these two things.
"Understood." She suddenly felt relieved: "Since you have made up your mind, Ivory Tower will also help you. Although we do not have troops that can be lent to you, we have troops that can be used by you."
"Um...isn't there any logical error in this sentence?" Arthur raised his eyebrows jokingly.
"Don't rush to a conclusion." Rosa smiled and took out a small brocade box from her arms. The brocade box seemed to be blocked by numerous barriers and seals. It was very strong and had extremely tight anti-theft facilities.
Probably some kind of dangerous magic would be activated once it leaves the hands of a specific person. Rosa held the brocade box carefully, and at the same time took out a key decorated with a pendant from her chest, and used it to open the brocade box.
Inside the brocade box are extremely simple shapes, four rings. (To be continued)
