The tip of the knife pierced the crack of the brick accurately, and it could no longer advance after half an inch, and the metal squeezed against the rock, making a sharp and piercing sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fili frowned - the voice wasn't normal. In all of Lockburg's buildings, the gaps between the stone bricks are extremely small, but whether the tip of the knife is stuck in the stone or the stucco between the bricks, it should not make such a strange sound.

Scott let go of his hand. The short knife tied to the wall, the end of the handle of the knife was cast into an extremely simple ring, and in the middle of the empty ring, small blue-white electric currents began to flash in the center of the empty ring. If it weren't for the dim light in the room, the faint glow would be almost imperceptible.

Fili couldn't help but reach out and poke to make sure it wasn't his hallucination, but Scott grabbed his wrist.

"Are you a child?" Scott glared at him in exasperation.

Filly shrugged unconcernedly.

"What is this?" he asked.

"It's what you just felt. Scott replied, "Magic—what else could it be?"

His tone was subtle.

Fili rubbed his fingers, the numbness between his fingers was long gone. He tried to put his hand against the stone wall, but all he could feel was the slight coolness on the stone bricks.

A moment later, the flickering electric light in the ring faded and vanished.

“...... Give me an explanation?" asked Fili, turning his head.

Scott drew his dagger and replied, "Have you ever been to Neo's Archmage Tower?"

"Been there once. "Just to deliver a letter," replied Fili, "and stood outside the gate for a short while...... The people in that place don't look normal - just like the place itself. ”

"At least you can tell that this place couldn't have been created by Kerman Santo alone, it occupies almost a quarter of the city of Neo. Scott's eyes narrowed, recalling the grotesque, but undeniably magnificent, magnificence of the Mage's Temple, "I've seen some records...... To be precise, it is an account that records the stone, wood, artisans' remuneration and even the consumption of daily food and drink when building the archmage's tower. It was a place that Neo and the people of the nearby village spent more than a decade building...... In addition to the five tall towers that stand among them. ”

Although deliberately built to be very strange, the walls of the five towers still appear to be made of carefully cut stone bricks, just like normal human buildings. But in fact, the top two floors of each tower are a whole.

There was no stucco bonding between the stone bricks, and it was not like the elaborate patchwork of elven buildings, but more like a space carved out of a huge rock by a dwarf, all in one—that was the part created by the stone sculptors, not as bizarre as the legend suggests, but great enough.

Greater creations reside in the secrets that the mages strive to keep. Every apprentice who steps into the Archmage's Tower knows that climbing to the top of any tower and becoming one of the chief mages is not only a supreme honor, but also an endless source of resources...... But only the mages who are truly qualified to reach the top of the tower will know the most precious treasure - through the underground circle, powerful magic circulates between the five towers, and in the right place at the right time on the top of the tower, mages who specialize in a certain type of spell can gain terrifying power.

"Does that sound a bit like this place?" Scott tapped lightly on the wall.

Fili was silent for a moment and asked, "Who told you this?"

Scott's expression froze.

“...... Lydia. He replied.

Fili snorted, but didn't ask any more.

"Lockburg was built before the stone shaper was born," he said, "if he hadn't concealed his age...... He is more likely to be one of the mages who helped Doren transform Lockburg. ”

Scott nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Keep an eye out for that mage...... Stobel probably knows Lockburg better than anyone. ”

"If you don't believe him, why tell him about your plan?" Fili frowned, "if he had other plans......

"I need his strength. Scott replied, "I also believe that he really wants to find out who is behind the sacrifices...... As for why, we'll always know. ”

Filly understood that when Scott ended the conversation like this, it would be difficult for him to ask anything more.

He absentmindedly felt the marks left by the short knife on the wall—a little smaller, probably no one would notice.

How many other places like this are in Lockburg, and they are hidden from people's eyes.

"If I touch all of Lockburg, will I be able to discover more secrets?" he suddenly raised two fingers at Scott, "Magic Finger." ”

The corners of Scott's mouth twitched, looking a little as if he wanted to cut off those two stupid fingers with a sword.

"'The right time and the right place. '-Remember," he said, "we don't know much about it...... Instead of groping around like a fool, you might as well keep an eye on Stobel. Buzz Marshall wasn't a random latemaker, the mage knew something and would deliberately delay. ”

"Is it possible that he knows about this, too?" Fili shook his fingers, "though I didn't know until today." ”

Scott lowered his eyes and was silent for a few moments.

“...... I'm sorry. He said, pointing to the back of his neck, "I see it...... I don't know what the connection is, but I'll find out. ”

Filly scratched his beard and sighed. He didn't mean to point fingers, he just wanted to make sure.

As he felt his finger at the door, he could feel Scott unconsciously staring at the back of his neck - if it weren't for the mark Lydia had left behind, he would probably be like everyone else, even if he lived in Rock Castle and touched the walls every day, and he wouldn't notice anything unusual.

What the hell has become of him?

If he had some kind of weird connection with Lockburg...... Maybe the great stone shaper would know?

Scott hurried into the backyard of the Temple of Nessus.

Instead of rushing to greet him as usual, he just flipped his tail lazily as he walked by—its fluffy black and white tail hung down from the top of the hallway, and it looked like a snake.

There was a faint sound overhead, and a black shadow shook down, but it was not Xiaobai.

Nia hung upside down in the hallway, dangling like a monkey with its tail wrapped around a branch, her eyes shining brightly.

"Hey, Scott!" he cheerfully greeted, "I have a secret...... Do you want to know?"
