Chapter 69: A New Crisis

Standing in the center of the huge magic circle at the top of the tower, Luo Lan looked around.

When cleaning the battlefield before, Luo Lan just searched casually, and did not search this layer in detail, the main reason was because of Lilian's death, which resonated with Luo Lan, he subconsciously didn't want to return here, because as soon as he returned here, he would involuntarily think of his former self and the former 'she'!

But now that the rest of the tower has been searched, including the alchemy laboratory, Luo Lan has also carefully searched it again with his senses, and except for the teleportation array that can teleport to the top layer, he has not found any other secret doors and teleportation arrays.

And now the only one that hasn't been carefully searched is this layer.

Standing in the center of the magic circle, Luo Lan slowly closed his eyes, let go of his perception, and let the perception gradually envelop all places on the entire floor, and the perception that had reached the peak level of E+ silver, as if a 360-degree all-weather radar, swept every inch of the entire floor inch by inch, after all, if you look with your eyes, how can you use perception to search more carefully.

As time passed, Luo Lan's perception swept all the places on the entire first floor, but he still didn't find anything suspicious!

"Am I really wrong!?" Luo Lan rearranged her entire train of thought again in her mind, and then her eyes froze!

"That's not right! I'm absolutely not wrong, the place related to the control center is definitely in this tower! Luo Lan frowned, and slowly retracted her perception,

"But why can't I find it!? Am I missing something? Luo Lan habitually touched her chin, and her eyes unconsciously drifted throughout the space.

The empty space around is almost clear at a glance, and there is nothing superfluous to see at all, except for the magic array carved with blood everywhere!

"Well!? Wait a minute! Superfluous stuff!? Luo Lan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly turned around and looked at the tall cross standing in the center of the circle behind him.

"This thing shouldn't have been there out of nowhere! Then ......" Luo Lan looked at the bottom of the cross, and saw a cross about the thickness of a person's waist, and below it was a wooden pier about one meter square, which just covered a large piece of the ground!

"It can't be that coincidental, right?" Luo Lan shook her head with a wry smile and removed the cross casually.

“――!! Really here!? ”

Luo Lan was stunned to see as the cross was removed, revealing a teleportation circle!

"Huh!? But the circle seems to be broken? Luo Lan squatted down and took a closer look, only to see that one of the corners of the magic circle was directly shattered, and the broken corner was still the most complicated corner, and the inscriptions and messy lines alone were estimated to be hundreds!

Although Luo Lan is 'well-informed' and has a certain understanding of the teleportation array, if he wants to let a guy from the martial arts department repair this extremely complex teleportation array, he doesn't know how long it will take.

"I don't know if this teleportation array was deliberately sabotaged by the evil god, or if it was originally broken? Or was it simply destroyed by the original inhabitants? Luo Lan frowned and thought about it, but still summoned Carl out.

"Huh? Luo Lan, what's going on? Met an enemy? When Carl heard Luo Lan's call, he immediately ran out of the Jiuli Realm in full armor, holding the bright knight's sword in his hand, and looked left and right with an excited face.

"What about people? Where is the enemy? ”

“……”

Luo Lan rolled her eyes speechlessly, this guy has recently become a martial arts idiot!

"Carl, have you seen this teleportation array?" Luo Lan pointed to the teleportation array on the ground and asked Karl.

"It turned out that it wasn't a fight...... Carl was a little discouraged, and then followed Luo Lan's hand to look at the teleportation array on the ground, but after looking at it for a long time, he replied: "I don't seem to have seen it." ”

Luo Lan rolled his eyes again, and with a wave of his hand, drove Carl back into the demon refining furnace.

"It seems that I shouldn't count on a lolita to control the martial arts ......idiot," Luo Lan laughed at herself, "It seems that I still have to try it myself, if only Nicole or Aurora were here at this time, I guess they may know more about these than I do"

Luo Lan couldn't help but miss the days when there were people above......

So, for the next few days, Luo Lan squatted on the top floor of the tower and studied the magic circle, in addition to bringing some food to the bearded merchant and the one-eyed pirate every day.

Until the third day, when he was about to leave the place where the bearded man lived and went to the tower to study the teleportation array, the bearded man, who had disappeared early in the morning, ran back in a hurry, and the first thing he said after seeing Luo Lan was:

"Your Excellency! Big things are wrong! ”

"What's wrong!?" Luo Lan glanced up and down at the beard, only to see that he was holding a nautical chart in his hand, with a look of horror on his face, as if the sky had fallen, and his breathing was as heavy as a tattered bellows, obviously he ran all the way back.

Suddenly, Luo Lan's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened!" ”

The bearded man said with a panicked face: "Your Excellency, I just ran to the beach, carefully compared the nautical chart and the surrounding situation, and suddenly found that if the island under our feet still maintains the current direction and speed, I am afraid that it will not be long before we fall headlong into the legendary maelstrom!" ”

"What!! Did you read that right? The one-eyed pirate on the side, who had nothing to do all day and was bored and a little painful, fell from his chair to the ground in fright after hearing the bearded man's words.

"What maelstrom? What the hell are you two talking about? Luo Lan looked at the two of them a little inexplicably, such a big island, according to Luo Lan's impression, let alone the whirlpool, it was a tornado blowing directly, it is estimated that in addition to the leaves on the island can be blown away, it is estimated that there will be no, is there anything to make a fuss about a whirlpool on the sea?

As soon as the bearded man saw Luo Lan's reaction, he knew that Luo Lan had never heard of the existence of the whirlpool, and after smiling bitterly, he spread out the nautical chart in his hand directly on the table on the side, directly pointed to the nautical chart with a big red fork and drew a skull mark, and said to Luo Lan with a bitter face:

"Your Excellency, you have not been running ships at sea all year round, so naturally you don't understand the horror of the maelstrom!" The bearded man said with a look of horror:

"When I was a child, I was fortunate enough to see a big whirlpool from afar, the whirlpool is not only dozens of kilometers in size, but also bottomless, as long as the things that fall into it have never seen out, even if it is such a huge island, it is estimated that it will fall into it and never get out again!"

"What!? You're not kidding? How could there be such a terrifying thing on this sea? Luo Lan was stunned for a moment after listening to the bearded man's words, if what this guy in front of him said was true, then the sea in this world was a little unreasonable, how could there be such a thing?

"Your Excellency!" At this time, without waiting for the bearded man to continue to speak, the one-eyed pirate on the side touched the sweat that came out of his forehead, and after saluting Luo Lan, he said:

"The maelstrom is indeed an extremely terrifying thing, when I was a child, I once heard that even the evil god Leviathan in the sea was eventually swallowed by the maelstrom!"

After listening to the words of the one-eyed pirate, Luo Lan finally realized the seriousness of the matter, because Leviathan, a legendary evil god-level giant beast, Luo Lan had seen it in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but when he became an adult, he could reach the legendary level of a terrifying giant beast, known as the incarnation of the evil god of the deep sea, and the Leviathan when he became an adult, that size would not be much smaller than the island under his feet now.

If it was really possible to swallow that kind of existence, Luo Lan couldn't imagine how terrifying the 'Great Vortex' was!

"That's it! You two should keep an eye on the island now, and if you spot any trace of the maelstrom, come back and report to me, and I'll find a way to turn the island around as soon as possible!" ”

After hearing Luo Lan's assurance, the two of them immediately felt a lot more relieved, so after glancing at each other, they both nodded and dared to go towards the beach, while Luo Lan rushed towards the teleportation array again with a flash of his body.
