Episode 1 Sky Tower
"Bang-" Haruka blocked Iska's punch with one hand, and he realized that she was using her lost right hand. "You... Your hands!?"
"Finally noticed! You're dull enough... Iskar withdrew her right hand, and the arm that was exposed outside the sleeve was a strange black color, and although the texture was very similar to that of the skin, it was clearly not her original arm.
"This black arm... Could it be what Sicili said she was going to give you?"
"This is a very precious and rare solidification of consciousness. Eleanor on the side explained to Haruka, "Not only can it change its form according to the host's consciousness, but after solidification, it has a hardness comparable to that of a diamond, and only the upper demon can fully activate its properties through special magic injection." ”
"So it was Sicili who helped Iska make this replacement arm... Haruka couldn't help but reach out and touch Iska's prosthetic leg.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand, as if her arm had been touched.
"Can you even do tactile feedback?!" Haruka's eyes widened.
"That's right, it's no different from recreating an arm, and even the sense of touch can be truly reflected to the host. Eleanor said, suddenly pulling a black saber from her waist, the material of which looked very similar to Iskara's arm. "Since the demons themselves have a strong recovery ability, even if the torso is cut off, as long as it is restored enough, it can be regenerated. Therefore, this precious material is usually used to forge special weapons. ”
"Then I really received a very big gift from you. Iskar turned to look at Sicili. "Aren't you afraid that after we defeat Hibbert, I will use this arm against you in turn?"
"This is impossible, this arm of yours is housed with the magic of Her Majesty Sicili, as long as Your Majesty wants to, you can withdraw her power at any time, and then your arm will only turn into a black stagnant water. ”
"So you're keeping a hand for yourself, right?" said Iskar and Sicilie looked at each other.
"There are no eternal partners, only eternal interests, since our positions are different, for the same interests, let's continue to cooperate well. Sicily said with a smile as she walked towards her bedroom.
"Eleanor, I'll leave the integration of the East Country army to you, and the communication with the North Army will be left to Miss Belia over there. Sicily left out this sentence as she was leaving.
"Understood, Your Majesty. I will fulfill the mission you have delivered. Eleanor watched her leave in silence, and then led Haruka down the rooftop.
Iskar returned to their room alone, and Haruka followed Eleanor to the center of the Sky Tower in order to be able to discuss with Belia about the future alliance of the army. After passing through the administrative area that had been divided into several districts, an elevator made of a huge magic circuit appeared in front of Haruka's eyes.
"Is there such a thing as an elevator in this world?" Haruka cautiously walked to the transparent elevator, and looked down cautiously, almost unable to see the huge pipes at the end that formed its main structure, and the circular floating disks quickly shuttled through the pipes, transporting the working people to various areas of this huge building with great efficiency.
"This is a fast passage built with the highest magic technology of Higashino Country, and if you take it, you can reach the bottom in a few moments. Eleanor pressed her hand against the wall of the pipe, and a pale blue float quickly hovered in the pipe in front of them. "Come on. ”
"Is it okay to stand up like this? Isn't there a deputy or something?" Haruka followed her onto the floating disk, and at the moment when he finished speaking, the floating disk had already carried them down at an astonishing speed, and the scenery seen through the pipe quickly passed from top to bottom, making people feel a strong sense of dizziness.
Haruka was obviously not very used to this wonderful way of moving, and suddenly he stumbled, almost losing his balance and falling, but fortunately, Eleanor on the side quickly pulled him to keep him from making a fool of himself.
"Thank you... Haruka lowered her head in embarrassment, and the scenery around her at high speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the bottom of the Sky Tower.
"Please go this way. Eleanor walked ahead, and a huge dome almost the size of a football field appeared in front of Haruka, which was the lowest level of the Sky Tower, except for the core elevator area guarded by a large number of soldiers, the entire outer layer was like a lively market, and you could see many scattered buildings surrounding this dome, and a large number of civilians of the East Country gathered here.
"It's really lively here... Looking at the scene in front of him, Haruka couldn't help but sigh.
"The entire administrative and trade-related institutions of the entire East Country are concentrated here, which is managed and supervised by His Majesty himself, and in addition to the nobles and ministers, ordinary people can also be helped here. At the same time, it is also the core area of the royal capital, and the entire city is built around here. Eleanor explained to Haruka.
"Hey, is this all done by Xixili? I didn't expect her to be so powerful... ”
Eleanor didn't reply directly, but there was a hint of pride on her face.
The appearance of the two naturally attracted the attention of the civilians at the scene, and everyone quickly gathered.
"Look, it's Mistress Eleanor!"
"Eleanor has come down from the Sky Tower!"
"Is it because of the army that suddenly appeared outside?"
"Is there going to be war?"
"Who's that guy standing next to Lord Eleanor??"
Almost in the blink of an eye, the water near the elevator, which had already been blocked by a large number of civilians, was impassable......
