"Most of what follows is my guess. You can believe it, or you can just use it as a reference."
The purple light kept flowing on her fingertips, and Violet's thoughtful gaze slowly moved to the top of the tower: "When I was still the Lord of Violet in the empire, I used to We have received information about the Emerald Tower. It is said that long before the conflict between the Empire and the Principality broke out at Fars Fortress, the Principality had already conducted a certain degree of investigation and understanding of this tower."
"Leave aside the question of why the Emerald Tower fell into the hands of the Magic Empire after that. According to the investigation report at the time, the Mages Council should have made a corresponding 'preliminary judgment' on the condition of the Emerald Tower." "Speaking of this, Violet had a bit of a smile in her voice, and her eyes gradually moved to Duan Qing beside her: "According to the report at the time, the person who finally succeeded in penetrating into the Emerald Tower was an adventurer. Or, he encountered some 'phantoms' in that place, and finally completed a battle. "
"Illusion?" Feeling the gradual decrease in the temperature of the surrounding air, Freya's eyes lit up as she gradually became more alert: "Is it the same as the illusion I just encountered?"
"It is no longer known what kind of adventure the adventurer named 'Moshang Qingshan' experienced, and why he encountered such an experience. "Looking away from Duan Qing, who looked unnatural, Violet shook her head helplessly: "But you and I are both great magicians with many years of magic experience. Since we have this clue, I think you can also get it. come to similar conclusions.”
"This tower has the ability to generate illusions."
As she said these words, she raised her left hand and used several silk threads stretched out of thin air to cut open the space behind her, blocking the suddenly blowing extremely cold ice fog from the scope of the space barrier: "As for why it happened? The illusion of 'Christine'——"
"There should be some special space rules." Freya said the next conclusion on behalf of the other party, and the fire in Freya's hand also burned to the other side of the space barrier: "Maybe it was tampered with by people from the Magic Empire. "
"The report at that time stated that the adventurer named 'Moshang Qingshan' met his past 'self' at the highest level of the tower." Looking at the depths of the extremely cold frost domain dispersed by the flames, gradually appeared That figure, Violet replied in a relaxed voice: "Considering Christine's current 'soul loss' situation——"
"The Magic Empire imprisoned Christine's soul in this tower, and then used the rules of this space to make her into the defensive weapon she is now?" Unlike the increasingly hot flames in her hands, Fleur Ya's eyes are getting colder and colder: "It's really——"
"Bold!"
The Sheng Yan continued to extend up and down along both sides of the internal passage space, and soon melted all the nearby ice mist. The figure of the third black-robed magician among the ice and fire gradually gradually disappeared under the eyes of everyone. It became clear, and without a word more frosty mist was sent back as if it were free of charge. Quietly retracting the space cracks that had been used to resist the cold wind, Violet then exchanged helpless looks with Duan Qing, who then prepared several bottles of magic potions surrounded by green light. , while whispering to the red-haired woman who was still burning with anger: "Don't forget that you have just recovered from a serious injury. My treatment resources are very precious."
"...I'm sorry." The flaming flames blooming like flowers gradually retracted under the cover of frost, and then were replaced by the purple runes gradually appearing next to Freya: "I was too impulsive."
"Sure enough, you have different temperaments from most of the fire magicians I have seen. The completely opposite personalities of you two sisters are really amazing." The entanglement of purple runes gradually bloomed in the air, seemingly occupying the entire passage space. A very small part, but like an inverted funnel, it swallowed up all the frost mist falling from above: "Don't worry, since we have roughly known each other's secrets, all that's left is to 'unveil' them." "
"If this secret is revealed, will my sister be saved?" Freya's rhetorical question sounded cold to the bone: "Big Violet
Man, can you help me rescue my sister? "
"First, we need to confirm each other's location."
Without answering the other party's question directly, Violet turned her gaze to the top of the passage, the direction she had been looking at for a long time: "I know you have suspected a certain place for a long time, that is, hanging in the center. That ball."
"That thing that is very conspicuous at first glance is indeed the first object of suspicion." After saying this, she glanced at Duan Qing, who followed Violet's words and explained: "It's a pity, if we want to What we are looking for is the location of the inverted gravity source and the origin of this void passage. Then we are looking for the ball. But - ahem, before that, I have a question."
"What floor of the Emerald Tower do you think we are on now?"
He set his sights on Freya, watching the red-haired woman gasping slightly to regain her magic power, while showing a slightly hesitant expression of thinking: "Of course...well, we carried you before The aircraft rushed all the way up, if the opponent didn't use space magic to create a trick..."
"It seems you should have discovered it too." Duan Qing smiled and said the next words on his behalf: "We are not at the top of the tower at all now."
"If we want to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the top of the Emerald Tower, we still need to go through a procedure."
The purple runes gradually enlarged in the conversation, and at the same time, the funnel that sucked up everything. The net formed by the circular silk threads also became softer and softer as the funnel gradually expanded. The space attached to it seemed to be twisting and squirming. The smile at the corner of her mouth was still spreading. Violet, with her left hand slightly open, began to float slowly along the direction of the passage. The extremely cold frost domain that had been entrenched in this area also followed this funnel. lifted up together, swept away like dust sucked up by a vacuum cleaner: "——I will sweep all these realms into the void and open up a path for you. After that, the first thing you need to deal with is That device and the person who controls that device.”
"That's Raval, right?" Duan Qing, who answered at the same time, also smiled: "Xue Ling Huan Bing should already be dealing with him, but I don't know how it is being dealt with now."
"With the protection of Blood Sword Luoyang and the power of Emperor Frey, there should be no problem in dealing with a magician who is a member of the Magic Council." Violet's eyes were still locked on the end of the gradually dispersing ice fog: " What we are most afraid of is that something will happen to our disciples. After all, we have been making trouble here for so long, and their reinforcements should have arrived."
"Then we are needed even more." So Duan Qing was the first to pop up from behind the "funnel": "Although I think that if it is an ordinary mob, it will not pose any threat to the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice-"
The clouds and fog suddenly dissipated as if encountering sunlight. At the same time, there was a faint scream coming from nowhere. The ghost-like scream also suddenly separated under the spread of the funnel-shaped threads. On both sides, separated at the same time were the colors on the far side that represented the power of Snow Spirit Huan Bing and Raval: "——It seems that your companions have already arrived."
"I can handle it myself without them taking action." Her complexion became even colder as the blood boiled, and the long crimson hair behind the woman in white continued to sway with the sword energy she was breathing out: "Why don't we separate now? It’s a matter of victory or defeat.”
"No need." He stretched out his hand to stop the swirling blood energy that was close at hand. Raval shook his head and looked a little older than when he first appeared: "Your strength, and the energy hidden in it. I have fully verified the proof behind the strength, and there is no need to continue fighting.”
"...Can I take these few words of yours to mean that you are admitting defeat?" The blade that was ready to go did not change at all. Xueling Huanbing still stared at the opponent in front of him: "If you just want to delay In terms of time——"
"No, I give up."
With a long sigh of relief, Raval put down his hands. The short metal staff held tightly in his hands also lost the light surrounding him as he put down his fighting posture. The magic was so dense and dense that it was visible to the naked eye. The energy also dissipated along with it:
"The blood power of Emperor Frey is already troublesome enough, and now the Lord of Violet is supervising the battle... Haha, even though I have been out of the world for many years, I am not that ignorant of current affairs."
"But I don't seem to know you." Violet, who had put away the huge purple silk net in her hand, flew up and smiled at Raval: "Are you an acquaintance of mine? ?」
"Even if it was once, it's not that important now." Staring at the girl in white with black hair, Raval shook his head with a complicated expression after a long while: "The great Lord of Violet, and her The apprentice, bringing the members of the seven-person council and the heir of Emperor Frey to visit here is really something that my research institute cannot bear. So——"
"You should be able to tell me your purpose of coming now, right?"
He looked around at the faces of everyone present, and finally set his sights on Violet, who then turned her attention to the gray-robed magician, seemingly waiting for the guy who was scratching his head to start. He spoke and took charge of the overall situation: "Um...ahem, we are here to 'visit' this time. Originally, we did come for someone's lost property, but they were supposed to be behind us, and now they seem to have separated from us. Already..."
"But it's not important." The extremely cold frost mist condensed and spread again in the direction Duan Qing pointed at, and the faint and harsh screams were blocked again by the flame magic ignited by Freya who was behind everyone. He said, "Now we have a new goal."
"You should know the origin of this 'illusion' that has been helping you, right?" "Then Duan Qing's voice asked, and Freya's voice with her back to everyone was still filled with a cold feeling at this time: "Her source - where did you hide her?"
"...This question is a bit difficult for me, because I am also one of the guests who settled in the Emerald Tower. How many manipulations did the Sphinxon provide us with in this tower, and how many people were invited to do research? , it's hard for me to explain clearly." Laval's expression became a little embarrassed: "The only ones I know are Walder, Karina, and Teresa who seem to have appeared here a few times. I don’t know about people.”
"Is Sphinx the owner of this tower?" Duan Qing took the opportunity to ask: "It's the handsome guy who was outside before, right?"
"Yes, he invited many members of our Magic Council here." Raval nodded and replied slowly: "Everyone comes here for some purpose, either to hide or to cooperate. There are also reclusive scholars like me who want to find a suitable place to conduct research—in terms of the results, I am very satisfied with his proposal.”
"As for the 'Spirit Transferr' you saw before, and where she came from——"
He deliberately stopped what he was about to say, and at the same time cast his gaze in the direction of the dense fog where Freya was confronting Freya. Duan Qing, who understood what the other party meant, also nodded, and turned his gaze back to La Behind Wall: "In that case, let's change our request: Is the ball behind you the product of your research?"
"Gravity source generating device - that's what I call it." Raval answered with a bit of pride: "A stable generating source can not only reverse gravity and become the foundation of the void channel, but can even help Let's go to the high sky that is difficult for wind magicians to reach, and reveal the secrets deep in the sky! The 'Pip Road' connected by the weightless space under your feet is proof of the success of my research! This is just the first step in my great research—"
"Stop, stop, stop, no need to explain in detail." Vaguely knowing that this topic might be endless, Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party's increasingly impassioned words: "Then can you stop this device first?"
"...Of course." The excitement that just appeared on Raval's face was instantly extinguished: "What are you going to do?"
"We just want to move on." After secretly exchanging a look with Violet, Duan Qing then cleared his throat and continued: "If our conjecture is correct, a partition has appeared in this space area because of your research results. "Phenomenon, the real Emerald Tower is hidden behind the void passage
,Is it? "
"If possible, we would like to go to the real 'top of the tower'. "
He pointed towards Freya, who was facing away from everyone behind him, and then gave her a "you understand" look.
