Chapter 491: Uninvited Guest
In the midst of the consternation, the anger quickly burned.
Scott didn't expect the woman to dare to appear here so blatantly—in front of him. Her strength is indeed powerful and primitive, amazing, but far from his opponent.
...... But he had to worry about the hundreds of people in the temple who knelt at his feet at this moment.
After a moment of hesitation, the woman raised an eyebrow at him defiantly and smiled, and the figure had disappeared like a phantom.
Scott took a deep breath, the anger that had been pressing in his heart gradually turned to worry.
The inexplicable uneasiness made him quickly disappear from people's sight. He didn't know where the woman had gone at the moment...... But he could probably guess why he was here.
Seeing him suddenly appear in front of him, his best friends showed more helplessness.
"Scott......" Alan sighed, "you know it's dangerous to teleport directly to this place, right?"
Scott glanced up at the bookshelves that seemed to stretch upwards infinitely, ignoring the question.
The golden mist still drifted unhurriedly in the slightly dull air, and Scott felt his blood agitate with the power within—another way of reminding him of another danger.
This is a three-storied pagoda located in Lockburg, which blocks the power of magic. The obstacles set by the magic-savvy king more than a hundred years ago weren't without effect on him, but he couldn't care about that much.
"Uh...... Is something wrong?" Nia tossed the book on her lap aside and got up. The expression was a little too careful.
"The 'trap' you have set may attract more than you expected. ”
Scott couldn't help but grit his teeth at the word "trap" - he accepted Nia's "plan", but that didn't mean he would easily forgive him for concealing it, even though Nia's countless vows were made claiming that it wouldn't do Iss any harm.
“...... Is there another dragon flying around the top of the tower?" Nia's surprise revealed uncontrollable excitement.
“...... No. The corners of Scott's mouth twitched. "The mage who made that door is here. ”
Nia's eyes were slightly dazed, and it was obvious that she didn't know the woman he had never seen, but Naria immediately jumped up from the ground.
"White crow?!" she cried, "is that damn woman here?"
Her hand subconsciously reached to her waist, as if to draw her sword. The immature female warrior has been through many crises, but the ones that haunt her the most are the blizzards on the ice fields and the sudden storm on the Visa. Just count the eerie and thrilling nights spent in Madame Raven's beautiful castle.
"She just appeared at the temple. Scott looked at the steps by the wall, "She's been missing for so long, she won't suddenly appear here for no reason." ”
Nia scratched her head.
"If she's really as magical as you say...... It is indeed possible to be attracted. He said. His eyes lit up slightly, "So, you see, it really works! I didn't lie to you!"
Scott glared at him gloomily.
"I never thought you lied to me about it. He said. "But before you think of Isis as part of the trap. At least tell me!"
Nia grinned, her twinkling eyes avoiding his gaze.
He didn't tell him the whole truth - Scott knew it.
An indescribable emotion swept through his eyes. In those times when he could never come back, there were some things he was willing to use his life for...... Guarding everything - but they may only exist in memory after all.
From an early age, he knew that the Triple Tower contained mysterious powers - just like all Rutgarhs. Otherwise, the twisted tower could not have stood in such a strange shape for two hundred years, as the experiences of Borena and Rosa attest...... At the same time, it also proves that someone can manipulate the power of the three-storied pagoda.
He wanted to know more about the hidden man than he had the power within, but he didn't know much about the three-storied tower, and Copas didn't seem to have studied it much. When Nia told him that he wanted to enter the three-storied tower, he did want to use the information that Nia got from hell to find out the secrets of the tower, but he didn't expect Nia to be so unscrupulous about letting Iss get into it.
He shouldn't have let them come here on their own...... But he was really upset. Take care of yourself.
"I'm going down. He said, in a tone that could not be denied.
Nia was stunned. As soon as he turned and walked up the steps, he jumped up and stopped in front of him.
"I've already said that whoever built this tower and made it what it is is crazy to be like this! even if you go the same way, you don't have to enter the same world!" he cried, "Eren and Naria told you too, didn't they?, and you know how powerful you are...... If you accidentally break the balance, the tower will collapse, it will really fall! Are you so worthy of that beautiful and kind blue-eyed queen?"
Scott stopped, closed his eyes, annoyed and laughing at the same time.
"I'm going down. He looked down at Nia and paused, "I'm sure you have a way to get me into the right place and make sure this tower doesn't fall over." ”
Nia glared at him vigorously and asked angrily, "What if I can't?!"
Scott looked at him calmly and did not speak.
In the silence, the invisible pressure made Nia's face turn slightly pale.
". He cursed lowly, spat on the ground, and said hatefully, "I hate you most of all!"
"Don't use foul language. Scott unconsciously said this, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Here's ...... What about the lady. ”
Nia rolled her eyes and made an apologetic gesture to Naria, stopping the shining-eyed girl with a word.
"You can't come along!" he said, "neither you nor Alan can ...... You can't bear the power there. ”
“...... Is this what it is?" Naria reached out unconvinced and waved in the mist of light in front of her. "I don't have any feelings about this at all!"
"Of course you can breathe in the fog, but in the water it's a different story. Nia held up her finger and shook it, "Obedient." Good girl, I'll reward you. ”
When the corners of Naria's mouth twitched, he nimbly climbed onto the bookshelf and took longer than he had first opened the passage, dropping some books, swapping some of them, and jumping off before Scott ran out of patience. Sigh and clap your hands.
"That's probably going to do. He said.
"Probably?" Alan asked suspiciously.
"Do you know how hard those enigmatic sentences are?" said Nia huffingly, "imagine a poem written by a madman...... Hey, wait a minute!"
He screamed and caught up with Scott, who couldn't wait to walk down the steps.
I said. You'll have to allow me to make a few mistakes! Those sentences are really hard to remember......"
His voice disappeared beneath the ground along with the person.
Eren frowned, put his hands on his crutches, let out a long sigh, and sternly stopped Naria as she tried to sneak along.
He felt deeply like he had raised four uneasy children...... And not one.
As he sank into another dimension, Scott realized that Nia's description of "fog" and "water" was quite accurate.
The bright golden glow looks almost like golden sand floating in the air. For a moment he felt that he was still a paladin of the god of water. Spread out and float in the cold waters of Lake Starnestal...... But in the blink of an eye, the comfort turned into panic, and it swept over like a huge wave.
He was no longer a paladin of the god of water...... This feeling of being too familiar has a completely different meaning.
But at this moment, what worried him even more was the dragon that was wilting and raising its head in the huge space.
Perhaps because of the light, the original silver-white ice dragon looked like it was plated with a light layer of gold, majestic and gorgeous...... But he was obviously not in good spirits, and when he got up, his huge body shook involuntarily. It's like you can't keep your balance.
"Scott!" it cried, "Nia ...... How long am I going to stay here?"
"You can leave now!" Scott said decisively. Strode over to Iss, completely ignoring the stack of "Wait a minute!" from Nia's voice behind him.
"Let him stay there just to keep the passage open, so that the door can feel the power here - there will never be a stronger force on the entire continent, and it will be attracted sooner or later. It didn't hurt Is...... Not at all, dragons are inherently magical creatures, and they will merge with that power and maybe become stronger. - This is what Niah said to him.
But now it seems that the so-called "no harm at all" is clearly a lie......
"Uh......" Ice Dragon hesitated, "Actually, it's not necessary, it's just...... It's really hot in here! Aren't you all feeling it?"
“...... Do you just feel hot?" Scott frowned, reaching out and patting the huge head that had bowed aggrievedly to him.
"It's so hot that I don't want to move! I can't sleep when I lie there...... I'm numb in my legs!" Iss grumbled, "I'm an ice dragon!...... Why is it so hot here?!"
Scott's breath suffocated as his gaze fell on the massive red gem at his feet.
"Probably because the power here is the opposite of your attributes...... Nia cautiously distanced herself away from Scott, "but you don't feel anything else uncomfortable...... Right?"
"Does it count if it's upset hot?" the ice dragon snorted unhappily.
"You can spray some cool air to make yourself comfortable. Nia irresponsibly suggested.
“...... Can you do that?" the ice dragon asked suspiciously.
“...... Why don't you just change back into human form?" Nia's advice was another irresponsible one.
“...... What's the use of that?!" the ice dragon roared.
"At least you can sweat, which is a very useful way for humans to regulate their body temperature......
"Shut up!" Scott suddenly growled.
