"Let that guy suffer a little." Calder patted him on the shoulder. "The matter of Broken Moon and the treasure is not your responsibility, but it is enough to be considered a great adventure. As for those crazy people from the Wheel Gang , your tutor has been a great help. How can I thank you?"
The adventurer is a friendly and tolerant middle-aged man, with a vicissitude of temperament about him, but not decadent. He was an old explorer, a great adventurer and a fearless frontier knight, so it's no wonder York remained loyal to him. "You also helped us a lot." Uriel replied, "Thank you for sending Meme here."
"I can only help you get here." The adventurer shook his head. "After all, this is not a regular shuttle station. The ladder has only been used to transport passengers to Winnie Watts. If there is any way in the tower to send people away, then It couldn’t be better.”
I can't help it. Uriel didn't see Sauron's nagging for a long time and couldn't help but be a little surprised. "Sauron? Are you asleep?"
"...Shut up...it's...the law..."
But only a bunch of broken ice flowers appeared on the ground. The apprentice could not make out every word, but could guess that it meant preparations were being made.
"The replacement of the projection is almost completed." The adventurer said, "It's best to leave now."
Except for the Star Gap, Uriel had never seen any rectangular stairs. He looked at the patterns on the ground - they seemed to be painted on the ground with some kind of paint, rather than complex mechanisms that could be traced. Could it be that as long as passengers stand on it, they can cross the city instantly?
"Where does this thing lead to?" Memie asked.
"York comes from the Twinkle Pool."
"A single rectangular ladder cannot go that far." Our Lord Earl couldn't help but say, "I think it can take you to the Four Leaf Territory at most." At this time, she paused, "Or further south."
"That's right, it's not going to be good in the snowy mountains." The adventurer also thought so. "Huh? Are there girls among your companions?" As if this is something serious. The mercenary leader showed a wonderful smile of appreciation, "A good partner on the trip is indispensable. Young man, it seems you have found the trick. Is the other one too?"
"No, he's a dentist."
"The dentist is also very good, especially when eating stuff is stuck in your teeth. It's better to have one than nothing."
"He can not only extract teeth, but also your injuries." Uriel said, "I heard that you are still injured, Mr. Calder, his magic can help."
"Is it not convenient for me to see them?"
"Sorry, sir." Uriel could only refuse. If adventurers discover Danlfion and Hope, the latter will probably be fine as long as they don't mention their demonic power, but the presence of the Ice Count here is a big problem. And based on the relationship between the Knox Mercenary Group and the Wiggins family, Calder will most likely know Danel Finn.
"I've never been to Four Leaf Collar." Meimi was very uneasy and her tail kept wagging. "Is it easy to find a job there?"
If it were in the outside world, Uriel would definitely say no: "Don't forget that you are a mysterious creature. You can survive even unloading goods and moving bricks." But if the boss requires you to be able to read and write, then just pretend that I didn't say that. .
There was a crackling sound on the ground——
Uriel lowered his head and saw the runes shining one after another. Platinum-gold sparks continued to splash outward, and stardust scattered in the room. All in all, the appearance of the candy paved staircase was far from the luxurious Star Gap. He couldn't help but take two steps back, suspecting that what appeared in front of him was not an activated magic circle but a life-threatening circuit failure.
"I don't smell burning." The apprentice muttered, "Is there something wrong?"
"...No...that's normal...only idiots..."
Maybe Sauron would have written more clearly without bringing in some words that could be omitted. "It's time to say goodbye, Memie." Uriel pushed the little werewolf, "I wish you good luck."
"That's all?" Meimi hesitated, her expression seeming hesitant.
"That's all." The apprentice has no time to care about his mental condition, otherwise this stupid wolf will probably die when the city replacement is completed. "Come on, don't be afraid. I think no matter where you go, it's better than staying in the tunnel all year."
Meimi was in the center of the magic circle and opened her mouth to say something, but Sauron had already activated the matrix magic. Mysterious ripples fell from the sky, and the void gradually twisted.
More dazzling firelight and star points rose from the gaps in the array, and the shop shone brightly for a moment. The magic ring swings slowly, and the words full of mysterious charm flash in the air one after another, intertwined and connected, ready to fly. The illusory shadow of a door emerged from the ground, and the strange runes painted on the stone bricks also became three-dimensional.
"It doesn't look like an electric spark now." Uriel sighed.
Suddenly, a huge sound of bricks and wood rolling down echoed in the city. Everyone was unsteady on their feet, and the glass on the shop windows shattered. Delphine let out a scream.
"The sound in the middle of the city." The adventurer was the first to discover the source of the sound, and everyone looked out the window. "Gods above, the tower is about to be torn apart by magic. Where is the White Envoy up there?"
"And the Cardinal of the Glorious Council."
"Fortunately it's in Kamaria." Calder supported Dr. Hope who almost fell. "Are you okay, young man?" The dentist, who was still invisible, thanked him. "They will reduce Whinivalse to rubble," the adventurer affirmed.
Is Joey okay? Uriel was unable to convey such worries. "We have tried our best, and he has done the same." Once Meimi leaves, Broken Moon's pressure will be reduced, and the envoy's burden will undoubtedly be reduced by more than half. I hope so.
"Uril." Memie said with a tearful voice.
The apprentice turned his head as if being pricked by a needle, and saw that the flash of magic was gradually dimming. In the center of the rune circle, the gray-maned werewolf still stood there.
As if echoing the battle on the rooftop, surging waves of light poured into the narrow space of the candy shop.
…
"Ladder?" The bishop looked surprised, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that you want to send away the werewolf marked by the Broken Moon."
The Star Gap cannot be used in the closed secret realm, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble - it is the transportation thoroughfare of the Sky Tower, Croy, connecting various subordinate countries, and a super large rectangular ladder magic array. The White Envoy holds the key to the access channel outside the base station. By opening the door, he can return to the main city of Brumnot at any time. But in the mysterious place, especially next to the altar, the rules here are very confusing. How to insert the key into the keyhole is the biggest problem.
And if it is the Ladder Magic with a base station, it can still be used normally until Kamaria completely replaces Winnie Watts. Of course, it will be slightly affected, and at most it will make passengers dizzy.
"It was their idea," the young man replied. "As long as you wait until dawn, your rescue will arrive, Lord Bishop."
"Aren't you worried that the magic power of the moon will interfere with the ladder?"
“He can’t do it for me here.”
The bishop had to admit that he was right. "They can't do it either." He retorted, "Those brats must know no more about the Ladder than ordinary people, especially about Broken Moon. Berti will not interfere in mortal affairs. The White Envoy of the Tower, Ruler of the stars under the firmament, He is the god of good luck and is good at creating coincidences.”
"The Moon Ceremony has been terminated."
"I mean, before it ends."
The young man turned around suddenly, terrible magic flames dancing in his eyes.
"How do you think we came to Kamaria?" The bishop tasted victory. "We stepped into the dark tunnel, which seemed to go back and forth, making it impossible to retreat. Until we found the base station on the other side of the mountain, the rectangular ladder for transporting goods was there." He stood up unsteadily, but before he could take a step, his legs collapsed. Frozen in place by frost. He didn't care at all. "The collapse of the tunnel is indispensable to the contribution of the kingdom's nobles. They embezzled public funds and embezzled infrastructure resources, causing the disaster in Angmar. In the name of Lucia, these greedy people should be punished."
The young man was silent for a moment, "It's not that the people of Venevoise don't want a train that goes straight to the Flower Moon, but they want bread to survive the Frost Moon."
Maybe worse. "Because most people can't afford the ticket to go north," the bishop said. "When the last Paladin entered Camaria, I destroyed the base station and left a mark on it." Still under the illusion? Any action you take away from your duties in the tower will be a disaster.
The messenger walked up to the cardinal, leaving behind him the altar sealed by frost and snow. The freezing mist undulated behind the young man like a flowing shawl.
"You think you are making righteous sanctions against evil." His voice was low and powerful. "People thought so before the White Catastrophe. But now there are not many fools who blindly follow them. It makes your agents worry and worry. Tian is thinking about how to weave the will of the goddess to announce justice to Knox. I guess that after the judicial body has the experience of judging the cardinal, Cornelius will definitely be much more relaxed in the parliament than in the past."
"I can distinguish between lies and truth. Lucia's power will not respond to a hypocrite. Ambassador Bai, before you comment on someone's character, please make sure it is based on objective facts."
"I'm talking about what you did to Winnie Watts, and that's the truth."
"In fact, we uprooted the demonic evil organization, we fought for justice, and we restored peace to Knox."
"No, you didn't." At this time, the sound of cracking ice sounded on the altar. The messenger turned around and sealed the overflowing black mist into the winter again. "You gave my predecessor additional tasks, gave every innocent person suspected of being a demon a baptism of fire, and brought Croita a new sky realm commander. You are not maintaining the peace of Knox, but Lucia. The glory of justice. This is why people are more willing to worship in the Gaia Church, at least the gods they believe in will not betray them. Do you think your justice has won?"
A sudden cold wave started under his feet, and the endless paleness ended the verbal battle: "Then let's wait and see."
