"I lied to you." Roma stuck her head out and quickly retracted it. "There are many coordinate signs hanging in the main control room, but I have only seen the Kingdom Meeting in Iron Claw City using an observation ball."
The ring didn't respond, and Sauron didn't want to pay attention to her.
"I promise, there won't be a next time." She said condescendingly, "This time I will find Aiken and leave, really. I hate this damn place."
This isn't exactly comforting. The scenery behind the city wall is far less majestic than imagined. In fact, four-fifths of the fort's defenses are built underground. Except for the chimneys, high walls, and the pipe repair shop that is connected to the mountain, all the buildings are built from top to bottom, and eventually disappear into the soil and rocks. Roma suspected that they had dug through the entire island.
For an island that is constantly struck by lightning, it seems logical to hide the building underground. However, the information Roma received did not mention the abnormal weather here at all. Not surprisingly, this is another mysterious place that was born recently. Order is eternal, but mystery is never fixed. Before the Oath Keepers gave up on the island, it was even stable enough to establish a ladder shuttle station. Now that it is in the hands of a vampire, the island has become a minefield. Roma bets that the dark clouds above her head have something to do with the vampires, who may have shaped this mysterious place.
But thankfully, the vampires couldn't completely renovate the island. Sauron told her that due to the weak order, many highly mysterious magics that were not manipulated by humans could not take effect here. At least she did not have to worry about being found by the detection station. Roma had her own interpretation of this message. We stand on the edge of the world, she thought, and the only thing reliable is talent and instinct. In this regard, the lion people have an advantage over the vampires. The little lion swam through the port and the fort, and landed on the island from the boundary between nature and man-made - a shadowy barrier composed of steel, scrap wood and old shipwrecks. It doesn't have the disadvantage of being poorly guarded, but Sauron says it was once the heart of the shuttle station.
"If you're lucky," it claimed, "you can even walk right in and no one will notice you." Even the boundary of mystery in this ghost place is unstable... The thinness of order is a double-edged sword, but you can't say that it is completely useless." It seems that its attitude has changed very quickly, Roma thought to herself.
"But there's something I have to remind you, Roma, I don't have much magic power left, so you'd better act quickly." It's best not to do anything." She lowered her head and saw that her shadow disappeared, and her arms became vague and translucent like a ghost.
The scrap plant is a dangerous place, with spikes and sharp edges everywhere. But if Roma wanted to, she could easily avoid anything she didn't want to touch. Many times she looks clumsy in front of mature mythical creatures, but mythical creatures are not meant to be used as comparison.
The scrapyard was surrounded by barbed wire, and if it was in Brumnot, Roma reckoned it had electricity. The Vampires don't seem to have many commendable achievements in the field of alchemy, and the "Pure Cauldron" further exposes the predatory nature of this race. In any case, no matter how careful the wartime fortifications are, they cannot escape the limitations of the builder's own thinking... She easily tears holes in the iron mesh to create narrow passages. I'm afraid the vampires never planned to withdraw their battle lines to Gray Wing Bird Island. The environment here is not suitable for a position at all.
The closer you get to the mountains, the more oppressive the air becomes. Roma felt the intense consumption of magic power, and Sauron's help disappeared silently. "What's going on?" She couldn't tell what was wrong, but she felt something strange stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit it out.
"This is the boundary of order," the ring reminded me irrelevantly. "The lines of law are still regular, but their influence is already very weak. No matter how you threaten me, I can't do more."
I'm not asking you to do more. "But it's like I'm breathing with my head in the fireplace."
"The mystery in the air remains unchanged, Roma, but it does not belong to order. Your fire is a complete creation of order. You will feel uncomfortable when you come into contact with it.』
"Can I stay away from it?"
"Of course," the ring said enthusiastically, "The flame of your soul is under your control. If you look at mystery as a world, fire is your existence in that world and a unified collection of your consciousness and body. How? There are people who can’t control their own bodies.』
Roma regretted asking about it. I just can't do it. Sauron undoubtedly knew this. This is obviously a high-level magic skill, and she will only control their movement and spread to the weapon, not to mention the waste during the process. If she were to study magic power here, she might not be able to achieve results after the Gulf War.
From then on, she almost never asked about Bai Zhizhi's ring. They get along fine until Roma sneaks into an underground pipe and is forced to kill a guard. In fact, Roma wasn't sure if she could be seen with the vampire's eyesight from such a distance. There were jagged fences and tents full of mesh between them, but her body subconsciously thought that meeting her eyes meant she was exposed: A quick and efficient duel broke out in an instant...
...Of course, if the enemy is waiting for the kill, it can be considered a confrontation.
She fell from the sky and slit the guard's throat with a dagger. Only then did she calm down and think about whether her actions were necessary. The vampire guard showed no resistance at all, which meant that he probably didn't see her. Damn it! I'm really asking for trouble. Roma stared at the corpse for a long time before deciding to destroy it.
"You only have the last bit of seed," the ring reminded, "Besides, a piece of pansy growing inside the pipe won't do anything to hide it. I suggest you hide it."
Roma did so. But something went wrong again - a group of vampires walked through the path under the pipe, and the blood of the corpse dripped onto a person's arm. The little lion held his breath, feeling that the problems he had left behind came to his mind again. Killing the Vampires was easy, but Roma felt that she might regret killing the Vampires. Fortunately, she escaped for the time being: the man raised his arm and licked it, then said nothing. Roma hesitated briefly and decided to follow them.
"Based on my experience on the ship," Roma said softly, "these vampires are equivalent to vampire chefs. They will take me to my destination."
Sauron's wish for her to stop seeking death was in vain: "You have to take responsibility for your actions!" The tower will confine you, but the vampire will kill you. If you never listen to a word I say, then stop asking me questions."
At first she didn't care, but soon realized it was serious. It seems that the ring has figured out that no matter what it says, Roma can find a reason to rush in. Following the vampire slaves, she entered a deeper space. If the sea surface was used as a benchmark, Roma could be sure that she was under the water.
"I have to prepare something in advance. If I really find Aiken here, how do I take him out?"
The journey to the destination is winding and dark. There are no torches along the way, and the faint light comes from some weird fungi. Roma took the opportunity to think of an escape route and left a mark in an inconspicuous location. "Lingxi" gradually became proficient in her hands, and in the end, Roma was surprised to find that she could even use it successfully at will.
"What did your friends say when you broke the observation ball?"
"Sabina? She screamed and jumped like a frog. Of course she didn't say anything."
"It means you forgot everything, little idiot!" It was your fault, but two people have to bear the consequences. Understand? Now I just hope that kid isn't here, otherwise you'll make him die faster." From then on, no matter how much Roma asked, the ring remained silent.
Maybe it's because I'm not sincere enough. Roma knew she was more dishonest than she seemed, but the worst part was that she seemed untrustworthy. Sauron's accusation is even more ridiculous. How could I kill Aiken? I'm trying to figure out how to save him. But in her heart, she secretly hoped that Aiken wasn't here. This is a hell of a place. Aiken may have been left at Knights Bay.
Along the way, Roma encountered several crises, both minor and minor, but none of them raised their heads and paid attention to the pipeline. It can be seen that Sauron was also surprised by her good luck. Many times he almost stopped her from moving forward, but maybe it was the blessing of the gods - she had a smooth journey, and the pipelines were in all directions, and she did not get lost.
"Did I disappear?" Roma couldn't help but ask herself, "They all ignored me." This was not the first time that this kind of strange thing had happened to her. Roma stayed in the convent for more than ten days, and Sister Barnza never saw her, even if she stood in front of her. It must have been a mysterious thing, but Roma didn't feel it at all.
The air hissed on the floor. The vampire in the lead was stooped, but he was actually a strong man. The expression on his face was somewhere between panic and excitement, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. A tall, ornate door magnified in Roma's field of vision, and the pipe had reached the end. She had to crawl backwards just to make out the stone slabs, covered with overlapping shadows like a bulletin board that hadn't been cleaned in a long time. When she canceled the magic, she achieved visual effects that were not much different from those of the vampires.
The "Magic Pattern" ring finally spoke, "Part of it comes from the abandoned ladder magic"
"What's the meaning?"
"Many... magics, many magics require some space-related magic patterns as a basis." The greatest use of the ladder magic is to change the user's spatial position.
