103 Blackstone Tower
Speaking of which, Austin immediately came to the spirit. He had a gloating expression on his face and happily gossiped about it.
"Letus is going to see the excitement - there's just a big mess in Nighttown." Saying this, Austin swallowed and glanced at Alyssa secretly, "A C-class abomination rushed into the town and went on a killing spree. You didn't see that! The guy ...... It's really invincible, and no one can stop its three-plate axe! Unfortunately, in my opinion, the relieved Night's Watch should be able to strangle it. After all, they are also playing at home. And you know, it's stupid to hate that thing for not having a command. β
"Oh, is the data written down?" Simon's focus is clearly not on the buzz.
"Of course!! I've recorded it all as it is. β¦β¦ It's really a genius, even I didn't expect that the raw materials provided to him could really give him a successful manufacturing product, and the condition is really good, talent! Austin spouted. It's a pity, the conditions are limited, if you come to the A-level abhorrence, you should be able to completely wipe out the night town. β
Simon snorted. "If A-Class Abomination is so easy to create, then Naxxramas's Pachwick is nothing unusual."
Austin, who knew that he had said something stupid, interrupted with a shy face: "Mentor Simon, working in the Twilight Forest is really boring...... I can't go out and talk about it, and I don't even have anyone who can discuss the recipe of the potion. Ridus's second bath only has muscles in his head, and if it weren't for the occasional fun from Nightlight, I'd have gone mad. β
"Crazy?" Simon said meaningfully, "I think you and Lydos have a pretty good time here!" β
Before Austin could suddenly stammer, Simon waved his hand. "I've got good news for you, by the way. Since the plan has been completed, the stronghold of the Beggar's Haunted House has been temporarily withdrawn. Once you've compiled the reports and data on this operation, you can evacuate to Stonerd and wait for the next step. So, congratulations. I don't have to face to face with those two goods all day long. β
Austin was stunned. "Yes...... Yes, Mentor. But his stiff expression didn't seem to show as much joy as he said it was.
Simon nodded. "Okay, I've finished explaining what I should have done, so I'll go first!" He picked up Thea and walked out cleanly.
"Mr. Simon......," exclaimed Alyssa timidly. Am I really going to stay here? β
She looked left and right. Said in confusion. "It doesn't look like there's anything to eat here, what if I'm hungry?"
Simon pointed at Austin and said, "He's in charge of taking care of you all the way to the Undercity." If you're hungry, it doesn't matter if you can eat it. β
"He looks...... It doesn't taste good at all. Alyssa looked at Austen very seriously. came to a conclusion that made Austin laugh and cry.
"What do you say? You even want to eat the pharmacists of the Royal Apothecaries! Austin shouted.
Liz's voice was a little weak, but the words she said drove Austin crazy. "Abel is also a pharmacist......"
Simon no longer bothered with the quarrel between the apothecary and his new apprentice, and hurriedly pulled Xia out of the haunted house before Thea's face became more ugly.
Until she was far away from the haunted house, Sia wondered what the hell was going on.
"This is on the edge of Nighttown?" She asked.
Simon nodded noncommittally.
"There's still a Forsaken stronghold here?"
Simon continued to nod silently.
"You ...... Using the psychology of Abel's ** wife, he controlled the intelligence that Abel asked him to betray Night Town, and tested the power of combined abomination here, is that so? β
"Yes! I repeat, Xia, don't forget your position, you're not human anymore! How? Who are you worried about? Simon raised his voice and looked at her with a blank look. Shut her next question in her throat.
And after saying this, neither of them wanted to say anything for a while, and walked silently on the remote path, only to hear the sound of the robes rubbing against the branches and leaves.
Eventually, Simon couldn't help but speak again. "Don't you want to ask where I'm going to take you?"
"Does it make any difference to me where I go?" Xia asked rhetorically, "Isn't it all up to you anyway?" Is there any other place I can go? β
Thea's retort made Simon stunned slightly. But instead of getting angry, he laughed. "So, are you going with me everywhere?"
"I ......," Shia tried to sarcastically mock him. But I don't want to go back on my word. She turned to her side in a huff. "I think, Simon, haven't you already thought about your next destination? So why bother asking me? β
Simon laughed and took her hand.
"Originally, I was a little hesitant to take you thereβbecause it was a stop-by, after all. Besides, I really don't like to show you in dragon form. However, since you say so, we might as well go for it. β
Thea furrowed her eyebrows. I didn't understand what he meant. "Where to go?"
In response to her, Simon was greeted by a black magical glow on his body. A huge black dragon appeared where Simon had been standing. The dark dragon's eyes stared at her intently, and Simon's smiling words came to her ears. "Do you like to ride on me? Or do you want to be held in my hands? β
"Didn't the proud dragons not let anyone ride on their backs?" Xia replied subconsciously, and then covered her mouth in shock at saying such a thing.
Simon didn't seem to care, and said in a low tone. "You're my exception~, please." A black dragon wing hung low to the ground, gently lifting her on her back. Xia scrambled to keep her balance. I heard him remind, "It's time to go, you have to hold on tight." β
Simon flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Dragons fly at altitudes that are difficult for other beings to reach. Although the cold air currents in the sky had been blocked and diverted by the huge dragon body, even if it was only a few wisps, the cold air slapped on Xia Ya's face and hair. There are still a few ice crystals left.
With such a height and such a cold, Xia felt that she should not be used to it. However, no!
A sleeping part of her heart was stirring, screaming and clawing for release.
"You know what? Once upon a time, my dream was to fly side by side with you. Simon's words rang in her ears, but Thea turned a deaf ear.
Those big white clouds flying towards her made her feel inexplicably familiar and intimate.
Occasionally, the white clouds are missing, like a large hole in the white curtain, through which you can see the scenery of the earth beneath your feet. The vast expanse of green on the earth seemed to be a white horse passing through a gap, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, but this glimpse gave Xia a special sense of intimacy.
"Like...... It's like you can see it clearly and remember it with a little more ......" Xia muttered unconsciously.
The white clouds are like curtains that cover the mysteries of her past. Sia struggled to remember, but only a blank slate remained in her memory. She was so immersed in her memories of the past that she forgot the passage of time.
Yes, the place where her vague memory first began, should be such a place of white clouds and green trees. Just like now, it is clear that it is moving forward, but it gives people the illusion of desolation and eternity, as if everything is frozen and still.
It wasn't until Simon began to lower his altitude that the clouds receded and became scarce. Xia came back to her senses leisurely.
What greeted Thea was not the lush green forest she had imagined, but a steep, black mountain range rising from the ground. The black mountains were like an unsheathed sword pointing straight at the black-red sky that was stained by the smoke that was constantly spewing out from the mountain pass. Everywhere on the huge black mountain, red magma flowing down like blood stung her eyes.
"Blackstone Mountain?"
Thea really suspected that she had just made a mistake, or that Simon wasn't actually going to be here but just passing by.
But as Simon lowered and lowered her flight altitude and got closer to Blackstone Mountain, she no longer doubted her judgment. Simon's destination is really Blackstone Mountain. And it's a black stone tower entrenched by a black dragon.
Because the majestic building at the highest point of the Black Rock Mountain, the Black Stone Tower, was constantly enlarged and magnified in her sight.
"Roar!" A loud dragon roar rang out, and it was an ordinary black dragon on patrol who spotted them.
But Simon leaned in unconcernedly.
The black dragon's warning was getting louder and louder. And with his warning, more and more black dragons moved closer to this. The black dragon wings flapped, covering most of the blackstone tower.
Shia's palms couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"What a grand welcome gesture!" Simon's smiling voice rang in her ears. "Thea, if I fight with them, will you worry about my life or death?"
Xia swallowed a little nervously, before she could speak. A black figure stepped out from the platform on the top floor of the Black Stone Tower opposite, and the loudest dragon roar erupted from its small body.
With what seemed to be the supreme leader's command, the relatively young black dragons around them retreated, making way for the Saimen.
"It seems that I can't listen to what you say about worrying about me." Simon was still laughing unhurriedly.
"I won't!" Seeing that this was obviously a scene of collusion, no matter how stupid Shia was, she knew that Simon could never be in any danger.
However, the person on the other side was clearly impatient to wait. "What's wrong? If you don't come in yet, do you want me to come out to meet you in person? β
