July 18, 3:30 p.m

"I'm so tired," Tio held on to the ladder and panted, "Royd Sand, I want to take a break, okay?"

"How many floors are there in the Stargazing Tower?" Even Lloyd felt that he couldn't slow down, the structure in the tower was intricate, and there were many alchemy machines that were not afraid of bullets and slashes, and every time they climbed a floor, they felt as uncomfortable as being hollowed out in their bodies, and in this case, they couldn't climb to the top floor in one go

"5 floors" Ellie's mental head is slightly better, after all, it is enough to interrupt the enemy's movement by constantly firing in the back row, "The top floor is where the big bell tower is placed, and if it's right, the top floor is the last floor"

"That guy is probably waiting for us right there," Randy slammed the axe to the ground and began to breathe, "Then let's sit here and rest for a while"

"I've brought some military rations and water, do you need them?" Noel pulled out a bottle of water and a few pieces of bread from the emergency pocket hanging from his waist, "Well, it's okay, but it tastes a little bad."

"Give Theo some water, Lloyd and I won't need it," Randy gestured to Theo, whose lips were chapped

"Thank you" Tio didn't shirk pretentiously, took the water and drank a few sips before handing it to Ellie, "Sister Ellie, drink"

"Well, thank you" Ellie drank it and returned it to Noel "Miss Noel, you can drink some too"

"Yes!" Noel instinctively gave a military salute, and then realized that it was not the boss who was dealing with her, so she also drank a few sips of water with a slightly red face

"Wait, Noel, I'm going to have a drink too," Randy said suddenly, solemnly

"Huh? Of course, please use it," Noel subconsciously wanted to hand the water bottle to Randy

"Randy Sand, don't you think it's a little too disgusting to drink the water that the girl has drunk," Tio said coldly

"Alas?!!" Noel, who reacted in a hurry, quickly put the water bottle away, "Mr. Randy! ”

"Cut, it's a pity, the water that the three beautiful girls have drunk" Randy looked unwilling

"That's terrible," Ellie said as she squinted at Randy

"Hahaha," Lloyd chuckled dryly

"Alright, I've rested enough, how are you doing, Girl Theo," Randy put the axe back on his shoulder, "Okay, let's go"

"Well, I'm fine," Tio straightened up

"I'm okay with that," Ellie nodded, signaling that she was okay

"So let's set out to worship? Don't read," Lloyd cried out, sticking his head up the stairs to Chong, who was standing in front of the bookcase, flipping through the ancient books, "Are you rested?" ”

"Wait" summoned the Eight Mirrors out of his body, and then with a wave of his hand, he swept all the books on the bookcase into the subdimensional space

"Can you take those things with you?" Randy was surprised

"Well, those books are left over from the Middle Ages, and when Bell was renovating the Stargazing Tower, there was really no place to put such a large number of books, so they were all stored here, and the city government of Crossbell had no intention of bringing these books back to the city for storage, so theoretically anyone could take them with them," Ellie explained, "I've seen a few of them, but unfortunately I can't read them at all."

"Chongsang has already emptied all the books underneath," Tio began, "There must be thousands of them, right?" ”

"It's not in vain, you can go" After patting the dust off his body, he put away the eight mirrors again, this time it was indeed a bumper harvest, so many books about medieval alchemy can be taken away, doesn't Crossbell City know how valuable these things are when they are placed outside?

But I don't know why there is always a premonition that someone will be so angry with his own crazy sweeping behavior that he vomits blood?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of "silver".

"Ellie, this is the top of the tower," Randy looked at the empty room, there was nothing else on this floor except for the bookcase, and the large empty space in the middle was really about to start the rhythm of the boss battle

"Well, that's right, this is the top floor except for the bell tower at the top of the tower," Ellie nodded, "so the silver will be"

A chuckle came from above their gaze, and then the black-cloaked Assassin appeared in front of them silently

"Welcome, guys from the Secret Service Support Division, it's hard work to be here," the corners of his mouth curled slightly under the mask

"You are"

"Boom!" "Silver" drew the dark purple sword behind his back, "Then now I will give you the final test"

"What!"

"Sure enough, do you still want to come to this set!"

"Combat readiness"

"Understood!" Lloyd and the others pulled out their weapons one after another

"Heh," Silver smiled with satisfaction, "Then come on!" ”

"If this thing is an assassin in front of people's eyes!" Randy raised his axe and leaped up, "It's going to be suppressed!" ”

"That's a good idea, but it's a pity it's too slow" Silver turned around and disappeared from Randy's sight, a blow that seemed to pass through his body and was useless

"It's just a shadow step, sweep forward" Chong said indifferently

"Look at the move!" Randy immediately swept forward with his axe and gun

"Anyway, it's too slow" Silver emerged from the apparition and was already on Randy's axe

"Bang bang bang!" Ellie fired several shots into his chest, and like the spinning stick, the guide gun was able to neutralize the enemy without damaging his life if he didn't activate the high force

"Go" Silver kicked Randy at Ellie's gun

"It's so strong!" Lloyd hurriedly pulled Randy aside, and Silver vanished into thin air again with a flick in midair

(much stronger than a year ago) can no longer be called an assassin, a swordsman who can be invisible is about the same

"Looks like you know a little bit about me," the voice appeared behind him, Chong didn't look back, he just quickly drew his knife and stabbed it in the back

"Shadow Step, Mind Closing Technique, Assassination Three Styles, I know all of these" Tai Dao was blocked by the big sword, so Chong slid out the silver spear from his sleeve, and then fired several shots back without hesitation, "If you are a simple assassin, then you can't run away today"

"But unfortunately, for me, assassin skills are just one of many martial arts, and I don't like assassination very much" There was a chuckle from behind, and the sound of not a single bullet entering the body came to my ears, and it seemed that he had dodged

"Senior! Get down, please! Noel didn't react until now

"It's too slow," Silver silently appeared on Noel's back, but when he tried to make a move, he was already reacted by Lloyd, who was standing in the middle row

"Yes, although the coordination is still a little sluggish, but the support speed is not slow" After disappearing from under Lloyd's whirlstick, Silver quickly appeared next to Randy, who was standing in front of him, "Very good, I'll take you a little seriously"

"Hah!" Silver roared lightly, and his whole body was surrounded by orange-red fighting energy

"It's called Qilin Gong, and it's a mental method that can improve people's physical fitness," Yin explained, "Maybe you have some misunderstandings, but I can tell you clearly now."

"Compared to stealth from time to time, my speed is the enemy's headache."

"Goo!" The next moment, Randy had been knocked away by the silver sword

“！” Lloyd is also kicked down by Silver the moment Randy flies out

"Okay, so fast!" Ellie's hand holding the gun never pulled the trigger, as Silver was already significantly faster than the bullet

"No, I can't see clearly!" Noel and Theo are also completely unable to see Silver's movements, and can only watch as Randy and Lloyd keep being knocked to the ground

In the blink of an eye, there were a few silver rays flickering in his pupils, Athena's divine power and Roa's eyes were enough for him to see clearly the speed and trajectory of his movements comparable to bullets, the key was only whether he could keep up

"Hah!" Chong also roared softly as if learning the appearance of silver, although there was no fighting energy around Yin's body, but it was also shocked and the dust flew around

"Oh? It turns out that you are also an internal practitioner" This refers to the common name of a person who can strengthen the body with qi, and if the external practitioner is a family, it means that he can use his breath to strengthen weapons, or directly use qi to hurt people

(If it weren't for the magic backlash at the bottom of the tower just now, which caused the aura to be a little chaotic, then I would simply use the hormones of the Yuanshan family to stimulate it now) Although it can't be as complete as when he fought with Yuanshan Jinyi, it can still be as much as a replica should be

"Heh, I'd love to see how strong your use of breath is, but it seems like time is running out" Silver chuckled

"Do you want to escape?" Randy and Lloyd stood up and cut off their retreat

"No, it's just," Silver reached out and took out a few dragon claw hooks from his cloak, "almost to get down to business"

Chong, who was too late to stop the "surrender", immediately chose to surrender

"Huh?" Lloyd and the others were stunned

"Have you ever seen this trick?" Silver was also a little surprised

"The Phantom Moon Dance can't be beaten" Chong didn't feel anything to be ashamed of, it was definitely uncomfortable to let her throw this thing out

"It's okay," Silver put all the dragon claw hooks back into his cloak, "Then let's get down to business, brown-haired boy over there, do you know what I'm looking for you?"

"Is there anything wrong with the threatening letter," Lloyd also chose to put away his weapon, "I'm afraid you didn't send that letter?"

"Huh?!" Ellie and the others were surprised at how easy it was to tell

"Of course, I don't have time to do these things, I have more important things to do now" Silver nodded in affirmation, "I want you to help me investigate the real culprit so that I don't dishonor my name"

"We don't have a clue," Lloyd said after recovering from the shock of being entrusted by Silver, "The only clue is that we should help him clear his name, this"

"Come to think of it, what will you lose when you all step up your security for Illya, time is running out" Silver chuckled "Goodbye then, Secret Service Support Section"

"Wait!" By the time Lloyd reacted, Silver had already reached the place where the bell tower was placed. Top floor

"What will you lose in return?" Noel wondered

"It's simple, just turn the tiger away from the mountain" Chong put the long knife back in its sheath "Everyone is staring at the stage, so the situation elsewhere will be ignored"

"It means that the person used the two celebrities, Silver and Illya, to attract the attention of the search department," and Lloyd also understood something, "So who would be the real target?" ”

"The hint is obvious," Mr. Chong felt that Lloyd's IQ was declining today, "time is running out"

"There's not much time, Lloyd, isn't there something big going on tonight," Ellie said hurriedly

"Tonight's big thing!" Except for Noel, who was still confused, everyone else had already reacted

"Rainbow Theatre's first performance!"
