Chapter 255: Cause
Chapter 255:
The dark night sky shone with a handful of stars.
In the distance, the exchange tower of the Sky City still shone white, like a white stick standing there.
Freya stood quietly in front of the window, sorting out her thoughts.
'Wow! ’
Suddenly, an eagle's cry came from the sky.
Freya raised her head slightly, only to see dozens of huge red eagles slowly sweeping through the sky under the night sky.
The belly of the giant eagle is an inverted W shape, which shimmers slightly in red and white, which is very eye-catching.
Even from a distance, Freya could still hear the flapping of her wings.
Freya, who noticed the giant eagle, had her pupils shrunk and frowned.
"What happened to the Crimson Eagle's guards?"
Generally speaking, the Crimson Eagle's guards spend most of their time in various locations, or in dangerous tasks such as developing secret realms and exploring other worlds.
For example, on the headquarters side, there are basically no more than three members of the guard stationed at most.
Because the Crimson Eagle's guard troops, the minimum requirement is also a full-time combat wizard who needs to crystallize the level, and it is also a security guarantee for the wizard organization.
Its nature is similar to that of the Castle in the Sky.
But at this time, dozens of guards appeared in the sky at once, and the situation was a little strange.
"What's going on at headquarters?"
Freya thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem like anything had appeared recently.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she jerked her head up.
"Could it be that I entered that secret realm three days ago?"
As far as she knew, although the location of that secret realm was not within the jurisdiction of the Crimson Eagle, it was not very far away.
Moreover, what she saw when she felt the danger and immediately chose to leave, the plague-like black worm fog was indeed a very terrifying existence.
"From what I saw before I left, those black worms seem to have the ability to bite the door of space, or rather, those black worms escaped from the secret realm?"
Freya had some uncertain speculation in her mind.
If those black insects can come out of the secret realm and devour them with that ignorance of the defense force field, it will definitely pose a great threat.
However, no matter how she speculated now, she had no way of knowing the true situation, and she could only wait for the information released by the headquarters......
Two days later.
The tranquil waters of the lake ripple and you can see fish and other creatures swimming in it.
The lake is surrounded by a small green grove, and not far from the grove some gardeners dressed in gray linen are combing the lawn.
In a white gazebo, two women dressed in the same white robes and red edges sat at a round table, smiling and talking.
"I didn't expect that Freya would break through so quickly, it's really rare, I remember when I first met you, you didn't even have gasification, it's only been a month and a half?"
The talking witch has long hair in a rare blue wavy pattern, eyes that are larger than those of ordinary people, and skin that is white and almost transparent, and it is immediately obvious that she has Ren Sai blood on her body.
The witch's name is Cathy, Cathy. Augustine, Freya's colleague in the Rune Department, was also the person she had the most contact with during this time.
Freya smiled at her exclamation.
"It's just a fluke success, I was also impulsive at the time, I didn't expect it to be so successful, there are many luck components, if I failed, I probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to you, and my current mental power is extremely unstable, which can be regarded as the price."
"Hehe, anyway, after all, it was successful, and you have now entered the liquefaction level, so how to transform your body, if you want to receive the blood of the Sea Clan, I can provide some help?" Cathy winked at her, a little meaningful.
Wizards who directly crossed from the lower level to the liquefaction level were difficult for a huge wizard gathering place like Yundu, but there were quite a few.
Some elite children of big families also have a high chance of success with the increase of various magical items, so it is not very surprising that Freya and Cathy are not very surprised.
Moreover, as far as Freya knows, Cathy, who is now at the liquefaction level, also crossed in this way at the beginning, but Cathy's own identity is not only a wizard member of the Crimson Eagle, but also an elder descendant of a huge family within the Sea Clan, with a rich supply of resources, but because she has one-third of her human blood, she chose to come here to study on land.
This is a huge difference from Freya, who has nothing.
As for Cathy's kind help, Freya refused with a smile.
"Forget it, I don't have too many plans right now, I just want to stabilize my spirit first, and then talk about anything else."
"That's a pity, but if you want to choose the Sea Clan bloodline in the future, remember to tell me, you must know that there are also powerful species of the wind system in the Sea Clan."
Hearing Freya's refusal, Cathy was not unhappy, but continued to sell for her, or indirect wooing.
"Heh, I'll talk about it then, but I'm afraid you didn't come to me just to tell me about the blood of the Sea Clan, are there other important things?" Freya bypassed the topic and said directly.
Although the two get along harmoniously, it is not the kind of relationship that comes to visit for no reason, and it is obvious that Cathy has something to do to come here.
Hearing Freya be so direct, Cathy rolled her eyes and nodded.
"That's right, there's an important thing, did you know about the incident that happened in the Chiknoe Forest the other day?"
"Oh?" Cathy's words made Freya's heart tighten, but there was a curious look on her face.
"I was preparing for the shock in those days, what happened there?"
"It's a secret realm, and a new secret entrance has appeared in the Chekno Forest." Cathy paused, and continued without nonsense. "However, the entrance to the new secret realm has leaked some weird black bugs, these bugs seem to be corpse eaters from hell according to research, I think they were specially cultivated by the wizarding organization of the original secret realm, but after it was abandoned, I don't know why it got out of control."
"Ghoul bugs? That kind of lowly thing? But what does this have to do with us? Freya pretended not to know.
"It's not an ordinary corpse eater, it seems to have been mutated, and its resistance to the force field is extremely high, do you know the red scorpion at the edge of the forest? Three days ago, they were devoured by this insect at once, including their president Laurent, who was a powerful wizard at the crystallization level. Cathy said with an unnatural expression.
"So strict?" Freya frowned, and straightened up.
Although she had expected this to happen, she really didn't expect this bug to swallow a wizarding organization, even if it was the lowest of the ranks.
"Yes, this time I came to you because our Rune Department received a notice from the upper level that they would go to the Chikno Forest to build a rune tower in case of emergency, and thirteen of them have already come to the guard part, and they are also in a state of three-pole readiness." Cathy explains the severity of things.
"I see." Freya said thoughtfully. "When will you go? What about the specific arrangement. ”
"At noon the day after tomorrow, we will set off with the guards at that time, and I heard that this secret realm species leakage incident is extremely strict, and Sky City will also send some people over at that time, and the upper echelons tell us that if there is any situation, they can also retreat strategically."
Freya didn't speak, just nodded silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
Cathy, who saw Freya's appearance, seemed to think that she was worried about something, and took the initiative to comfort her.
"Don't think about it, we're just responsible for building the rune tower to form a closed defensive space to prevent these bugs from expanding their range again, it won't take long, at most a week will be able to come back, and the rest will be left to their professionals."
Hearing Cathy's reassurance, Freya came back to her senses and smiled.
"Hehe, that's right."
Although on the surface it was just a leak of species, Freya could vaguely feel that things would not be so simple.
The strange scene she was facing at that time was definitely the awakening of some dangerous being from the secret realm, and that kind of trembling from instinct could not be wrong.
However, she doesn't plan to tell anyone else about this information, first, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and secondly, from a certain point of view, she also has an unknown connection with this matter.
With some inexplicable thoughts, the two briefly chatted about some other things, and then in the afternoon, Cathy took her leave.
Watch Cathy's carriage disappear into the road.
After a long time, Freya turned around and walked alone towards the manor.
"It seems that the plan to go home needs to be delayed a little longer"......
Two days later, the Scarlet Eagle was at the west gate.
Three giant horse-drawn carriages pulled by the Colster Rhinoceros were parked on the side of the road.
In addition to these three carriages, there were more than a dozen large red eagles and several small carriages standing next to them.
Next to the giant carriage, some wizards in white robes and red edges were hand-picking the various materials on the carriage.
Except for the wizards who were still working, most of the wizards who went there gathered in groups of threes and twos, forming a small circle to talk, waiting for a signal to move forward.
At this point, Freya and Cathy and another black-haired rune-ministry wizard got together to talk about unrelated matters.
Most of them were Cathy and the other man, while Freya listened quietly, only occasionally interjecting.
"Last time I got some pink grass in Verne, the quality is very good, if you have a lot of needs, you can go there, just report my name when you arrive." The black-haired wizard pulls out a small bottle containing some pink powder from his bosom and tosses it to Cathy.
Cathy, who took the bottle, poured out a little, put it between her nose and sniffed it in satisfaction.
"Thank you, the powder grass has a good moisturizing effect on my skin, because the growing environment is very harsh, and there are not many high quality, I didn't expect you to surprise me this time, it's amazing!"
"The relationship between us, do you still need to say thank you, really, just remember to bring me some sea clan specialties next time." The black-haired wizard winked at Cathy.
"Of course." Cathy, who had confirmed the quality, couldn't wait to pour out some powder and smear it on her face, and then she looked at Freya next to her, who didn't seem to be on her body.
"Freya, what are you thinking, do you want this?"
Looking at the bottle that Cathy handed over, Freya smiled and waved her hand.
"Forget it, although Yan Powder Grass can moisten the skin, but if you use it too much, there will be a certain chance of causing the sequelae of skin dissolution, it doesn't matter if you have Sea Clan blood, but I'm different."
"Oh, forget it." Hearing Freya's refusal, Cathy took the bottle back away.
The black-haired wizard next to him raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect Freya to know so clearly.
"I didn't expect you, Freya, to be interested in pharmacy?"
"I just happen to know, I"
Suddenly, Freya stopped talking, and looked past the two of them in the direction of the door.
At some point, more than a dozen strange wizards in dark red robes came out one after another, and the back of their robes was depicted with a white giant eagle pattern.
Everyone exudes a bloody aura to a greater or lesser extent, and the surrounding energy aura is also rich, obviously the spiritual power is at or above the crystallization level.
"It's the Guard." Cathy looked at the dozen or so people who came out and explained to them.
The black-haired wizard nodded, but Freya frowned at the wizard who walked in front.
The long black and purple hair was scattered behind his back, his face was not very handsome, but there was an unusually cold feeling, and his slightly reddish brown eyes habitually narrowed, sweeping around from time to time, as if he was picking a suitable prey.
What caught Freya's attention was the smell of blood on this person's body, which was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved compared to the others, and she always felt a kind of red mist swirling around her, and she could faintly hear a miserable howl.
Looking at this person, Freya quietly approached Cathy next to her.
"Do you know who that man is?"
Cathy followed Freya's gaze, but was slightly stunned and muttered. "Huh? Why did he come too? He's not supposed to be in the Crimson Tower at this time."
"The Crimson Tower? What do you mean? Freya asked, frowning slightly.
Because as the man approached, she actually had a tingling sensation on her body, as if there was something in the man that threatened her.
Hearing Freya's next question, Cathy came back to her senses and replied to her.
"He's Isaac, one of the most dangerous people in the Guardian Force, there are about twenty wizards who are known to have died at his hands, it seems that he originally came from that place in the Black Sea, however, he should have been assigned to the Crimson Tower for ten years because of the last incident, why did he come back after only five years, strange?"
"Black Sea again?"
Freya thought of the witch she had met at Crimson Eagle at the beginning, and she seemed to be from the Black Sea.
The people who came out of that place were basically either perverts or some people with flawed personalities, which made her a little worried about this operation.
As if sensing Freya's gaze, the wizard named Isaac turned his gaze to this direction, the corners of his mouth furrowed, revealing crocodile-like interlaced teeth. R1152
