Chapter 31: Exploring the Tower at Night
At night, there are no stars and no moons, there is silence, and occasionally a few short or long insect chirpings add a bit of life to this dark scene.
A villa on the top of the Ernst hill, with a creak the door was opened from the inside out, the heavy wooden door was opened from the inside out, a small head protruded from the door, her face was covered by a large hood, only a pair of sparkling eyes were slightly revealed, shining with a different kind of brilliance.
The black eyes turned left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, he carefully drilled out the rest of his body, and gently closed the door, the small figure paused for a moment, and suddenly disappeared under the night sky.
The black pressed grass moved, and a carefree figure appeared behind the grass. Carefree's lips moved slightly, and a faint green light popped out of her fingertips, shooting straight into the center of her eyebrows, and disappeared between the electric lights and flints, and Carefree did not change anything, but the wind around her suddenly increased, and with her as the center, an encirclement formed by the wind element was gradually spreading outward, and everywhere she went, the leaves trembled, and the shadows of the trees fluttered.
The second-level wind magic, Qingfeng Perception, through its own affinity with the wind element, can quickly find people and things in the dark night with the wind as the eye and the wind as the ear.
Normally, this magic can only be used when you get lost or when a rooster cries and a dog steals, so it is also considered a thief's treasure.
Get lost? Not necessarily, but he secretly walked out of the villa by himself.
Chicken and dog thief? Probably!
It turned out that after studying pharmacy class last night, Wuwu just wanted to leave, but he was robbed and stopped. The deep eyes of the robbery were full of complexity, and it took half an hour to see Worry-free to say what he wanted to say, and Worry-free came out tonight for it.
The last time he encountered the erosion of the dark magic potion, the demon vein was damaged, and the fighting spirit disappeared, he used countless precious potions to gradually repair the broken demon vein, but he was unable to recover the fighting spirit, if he wanted to restore his former strength, only by finding a mysterious item in the ten layers of the magic tower could there be hope, but what was it, he didn't say, he just told her how to sneak into the magic tower, and when he got there, he would find that kind of thing.
Although the explanation of the robbery is very far-fetched and seems to have something to hide, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, Wuwu does not want to give up. The Demon Vein is broken, although the damage has been repaired, but it has also caused blockage, and now it seems that there is no big problem, but once she becomes a seventh-order professional, she will find that the Demon Vein can no longer withstand the increase in magic power, and what awaits her at that time is only death.
The Seventh Order was still far away for her now, but with such a potential danger, how could she live with peace of mind?
So Wuwu didn't hesitate at all, and even came here in advance against the wishes of the robbery, hoping to find what he wanted.
"Ding!" There was a soft sound in his head, a flash of joy flashed in his carefree eyes, and a few dodges came to that place.
The huge bushes were lifted away, and a little magic was released, and a meter-wide star pattern lit up from the bushes, and the white light quickly disappeared with a flash.
Seeing this white light, Wu Wu was even more excited, and at the moment he did not feel distressed at all and injected a steady stream of magic into the star pattern, with the input of magic power, the star pattern did not light up as before, but there was a faint shock coming out, and there was a slight distortion in the space.
As soon as he stepped into the starlines, his carefree figure disappeared into the night, and the trees remained, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
Space Teleportation Array!
That's right, what worry-free is looking for is this space teleportation array, which is secretly set up here, blatantly setting up such a teleportation array under the magic tower where masters gather, then there must be the consciousness of being discovered sooner or later, although the calamity is very powerful, but it will not be so arrogant, he dares to do this, there must be something to rely on, and the biggest reliance of the calamity is only the whole system of magicians can open this teleportation array.
The light and shadow distorted, and the carefree footsteps staggered into a dark room.
As soon as her footsteps landed, she greeted her in her heart, but she didn't expect him to set the other end of the teleportation array on the ninth floor of the magic tower, Andre's office.
The smell of old books and the strong smell of wine made Sansso-Wu determine his place without his eyes, and this is the dean's office. It turned out that after the door blockade, she was brought here by Andre and apologized for the school's failure to protect her.
Although Carefree didn't see how much regret Andre looked, he accepted it calmly and visited the dean's office by the way.
The ninth floor of the magic tower is the place where the dean and the ten elders cultivate, the space here is huge, and the geographical division is also obvious, on the left is the cultivation room, the alchemy room, the refining room and other places for the elders to cultivate, and on the right is the scattered distribution of the rooms of the elders, the rooms are very hidden, and they must break the prohibition laid by the elders themselves before they can enter, so unless the elders invite them, no one can disturb their cultivation.
As soon as he stepped out of Andre's office, Sanssouci cast a lowest-level dark magic on himself - hidden, under the dim magic lamp, many places in the huge circular corridor were in shadows.
Clinging to the inner wall, he walked carefree and cautiously, jumping or stopping, like a cheetah in the jungle, quickly shuttling in search of his destination.
Forcefully crumpled the crumpled paper in his hand and stuffed it into his chest, and Wu Wu cursed again.
According to the instructions on the robbery map, after she left the dean's office, she walked directly to the left, and after walking for about ten minutes, she would find a large altar, but she had been walking for almost half an hour and found nothing, and from time to time there were bats fluttering on the window, and the abrupt sound challenged her nerves all the time.
Although it was only a first-level magic, it was already very difficult for her to use it for half an hour, which was only a fourth-level spell, and she was about to be unable to hold on, but she could never find her goal, and her worry-free heart beat faster because of her anxiety.
"Click!"
The sound of the door opening came from the front, and Carefree hurriedly stopped his body and held his breath.
The bright light came from the front, and there was some afterglow in the shadow of her corner, although it was not obvious, but if you looked closely, you would definitely see her figure.
"What should I do?" Sweat poured from Sansso's forehead, and the summer night was not hot, but she was scared into a cold sweat.
"Bishop Paul, I have signed up for the Championship Tournament according to your requirements, through the baptism of holy water, I am already a high-level magician, as long as I don't meet Mu Yun and Xuanyuan Rui, I will definitely be able to enter the top three!" The girl's gentle voice came from afar.
As the footsteps got closer, Sanssouci also recognized the identity of the girl - Xue Rou.
Unexpectedly, Villa No. 1 didn't just slip away quietly tonight, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she struggled to maintain her magic while listening to the conversation on the other end.
"Well, very good, worthy of being the best saint of this generation, no wonder Lord Bishop likes you so much!" A slightly hoarse male voice came, and it should have been a middle-aged man.
"Thank you for your love, Xue Rou will definitely live up to the trust!" Hearing the man's undisguised appreciation, Xue Rou's tone did not change in the slightest, and she was still calm and calm.
Hearing her answer, the bishop, known as Paul, nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Did you hear what Elder Nancy said just now?" Thinking of the matter, the man asked with a straight face.
Xue Rou's body trembled after hearing this, and she bent down slightly and nodded: "Hear clearly, enter the top three, get the key!" ”
Cheryl doesn't have many words, but she conveys a useful message to Sansso-Care-!!
That's right, this time she came, in addition to exploring the altar, she also needed to find a key, which was said to be the only way to open the altar teleportation array, but the only way to enter the legendary tenth floor.
Originally, she just wanted to explore the road tonight, but she didn't expect to hear such exciting news, to know that Lu Dao didn't even know where the key was put in Lu Dao, only the deans of the past dynasties could contact it, but in Andre's generation, it disappeared for no reason, and I didn't expect someone to find its location.
"Is what Elder Nancy said true? Is the key really in Dean Hill's hands? Seemingly a little uncertain, Cheryl still dared to ask.
Hearing her words, Paul's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "She is the daughter of the previous dean, and André's wife, I really can't think of anyone other than her who can take the key in Ernst's hands!! ”
Although Paul's reasoning made sense, Xue Rou still felt a little uneasy, and her fist was slightly raised, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
"Okay, don't think about it, all you have to do now is get the top three, otherwise you won't see her even if the key is really in the hands of the woman Ciel!!" Not satisfied with Cheryl's hesitation, Paul comforted her as an elder, and walked towards the exit alone.
"Tick !!" The sound of sweat falling was particularly abrupt in the silent corridor, and she watched as the beads of sweat that slipped from the corners of her forehead fell to the ground, and her whole heart tugged.
Just now, Paul passed by the place where she was hiding without squinting, not noticing her presence at all, and Xue Rou followed closely with her head down, but at this time, the sweat still slipped down, hitting the marble floor, and even splashing water.
"Stepping on the !!" The sound of clear footsteps kicked in the carefree heart, and she knew that she had no way to dodge, and the remaining magic power was not enough to even activate the concealment skill, and it was even more impossible to use teleportation to escape, waiting for her roommate to be discovered, and then to be killed.
A white figure appeared in Carefree eyes, and Xue Rou looked at the trembling Carefree in surprise, slightly stunned.
Before he could react, another footstep came back.
"What happened?" Paul asked when she saw Cheryl pause.
In the distance, Paul's voice echoed through the circular corridor.
But Xue Rou didn't speak, and continued to look at Wu Wu without looking back, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth.
In normal times, it may give people a quiet and peaceful feeling, but in such a night, in such a situation, it looks particularly strange.
When they meet again two years later, Carefree and Xue Rou are like strangers, and she feels a little incomprehensible to this former friend whose personality has changed greatly, because she can't see through it, so she will be alienated.
But at this time, it was obviously too late, but after being discovered, she was not so scared, and she calmly looked at Xue Rou at the moment, with no sadness or joy in her eyes, but from her stiff body, it could be seen that she was ready to fight at any time.
Xue Rou stretched out her hand, and her snow-white fingers grabbed at Carefree's chest, and she was about to grab Carefree's clothes, and Carefree was ready to use her martial arts to hold her hostage when she touched her.
But everything did not happen as expected, a black bat flapped its wings, appeared in front of Carefree, was grabbed by Xuerou, sharp nails directly pierced the bat's fur, blood flowed down Xuerou's palm, dripping on the smooth floor, very similar to the sound just now.
Although the bat was injured, it was not dead, and it desperately stirred its wings to make a sharp chirp, which made the night even more miserable.
"It's just a bat that keeps hurting!" Just as Paul was approaching, Cheryl took a few steps forward and handed the bat in her hand to Paul.
Paul looked at the bat that was still struggling desperately with disgust, and looked at Cheryl's eyes a little strangely, and immediately took a few steps back, leaving without looking back, and only his words were left in the air.
"Clean up and come up again!!"
Xue Rou smiled slightly, her smile was gentle, but her movements were a little rude, and the bat that was still moving slowly stopped struggling and died as she tried harder and harder.
Throwing the bat aside, a snow-white handkerchief appeared in Xue Rou's hand, carefully wiping the remaining blood and fluff on her hands, and when she wiped it clean, she turned around sharply and just looked at the carefree who poked her head out.
The corners of Xue Rou's mouth were hooked, she smiled slightly, her hand was spread, and the handkerchief in her hand was also discarded on the ground by her, the snow-white handkerchief, with scarlet blood, formed a strange picture, and Wu Wu just looked at this handkerchief quietly and lost her mind.
"Why is she going to help me?" This is the biggest doubt in the mind of Carefree.
