Chapter 12: Nobles
There are a total of 9981 closed spaces in the Heavenly Tower, although the population of each closed space is more or less, but on average, there are at least 100,000 people, and Conrad is currently hiding in one of these closed spaces, quietly waiting for the moment when Juliet will be given life.
Yihao's purpose is, of course, to find Conrad, or more precisely, he wants to find traces of Conrad in these eighty-one closed spaces and among the tens of millions of residents living in them, which is basically an impossible task in the eyes of ordinary people, and Yihao can't think of any feasible way for a while. Despite his previous statement of "gambling on luck and determination", after a carpet search of the two closed spaces, the hot-blooded Iron Gate disciple finally realized that there are still things in the world that cannot be accomplished by determination alone.
In a closed space constructed as a harbor city, Yihao and Asola are walking on the seaside road after a long day of searching. In the distance, the sunset, which symbolizes the end of the day, is slowly setting towards the sea level, and the bleak evening scene dyes the twilight in the hearts of the children of the Iron Gate, but the face of the demon princess next to her is shining brightly.
"Hmph, it seems that your luck is not good?"
Asora carried the small gravel under her feet and said unceremoniously to Yihao, she didn't hide her schadenfreude at all.
"Shut up, you can't get out if you can't find that guy, is this something that can be laughed at?"
Yihao said with a calm face, but such a threat obviously had no effect on Asora.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, there is food and drink here, and I'm not in a hurry to go out. When you get tired of the ground, you can go out at any time as long as you destroy the magic kiln. β
Asora asserted as she wagged her demon's tail. Although it is an understatement, as long as you know the character of this witch slayer, you will know that this is definitely not a joke. Demons never suppress their own **, and Asola is a demon among demons. Of course, she will not despise the lives of tens of millions of people. However, on the other side of the scale, when you are free, it is not a matter of which is more important than that.
It's just that this statement only made Yihao's originally irritable mood heavy, and he couldn't help but regret that he should have left her on the Magic Ark in the first place.
ββ¦β¦ In a word. The guy is hiding in these locked spaces, and we just have to put as much pressure on him as we can, and he'll know as soon as he's moving. β
In order to change the depressed feelings, Yihao tries to focus his attention on the favorable elements. The only way to enter and exit the eighty-one closed spaces is through the pillars at the core of the space, in other words, if Conrad wants to transfer the dialect of the space where he is located. It is necessary to go to the top floor of this column and then change to another column to go down to its dominant space. At this time, it will inevitably be noticed by Ada, who is hiding in the central pillar, as long as he can determine the correct position of the space, then the next thing will be much easier.
"What if he refuses to move all the time?"
Asola is keen to point out the shortcomings of Yihao's plan.
ββ¦β¦ That's why I've worked so hard to search! Damn it! β
Yi Hao angrily kicked a small stone at his feet.
As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink saliva. The small stone drew a long parabola in the air, and when it landed, it caused two sounds at the same time, one was a dull sound as if it had hit something. The other is the screams of people who seem to have been hit by something.
"Not good!" Yihao's reaction was like a prank, and when he reflexively pulled his legs to run, Asola grabbed the back collar and pulled him back.
"The Demon Breaker who crisscrossed the Three Realms would run away because he accidentally hit someone. The reaction of this three-year-old imp...... Do you want me to be a joke in hell? Asora's voice was a little crying and laughing, but then she shouted at Yihao. Just puff up your chest and walk over, and if that guy dares to complain, I'll kill him for you!" β
"Don't do it...... please," Yihao smiled wryly as he walked towards the victim. It was an old gentleman who seemed to be fishing, and Yihao kicked out a small rock that fell on his fishing basket without being biased. As a result, the basket full of fish turned out, and at this moment the man was scrambling to pick up the fish.
"I'm sorry, I'll help you......" Yihao hurriedly ran over to help clean up, and inadvertently swept the man's face, and suddenly screamed. Raidon? β
"Huh?" The old gentleman who was picking up fish raised his head and looked at Yihao with the same surprised expression when he heard this. "Yihao? Aren't you Yihao! β
"It's me, but why are you in this place? Is it also ......an escape," Yihao had not finished asking, and Raiden came with a bear hug with the enthusiasm peculiar to the West, and the joy of reuniting with his old friend obviously made the old gentleman quite excited. "I haven't seen you since I said goodbye in Las Vegas, and then I gave birth to something like that, I thought you were caught up, but you are still alive...... It's great, it's wonderful...... I said, since it is a nephew who has no way, how can he lose to that little thing! β
"Uh, I'm sorry, there were a lot of things that happened later, I went to Iceland once, and then I went back to China, but before I knew it, I forgot about it, sorry......"
Seeing that Raiden cared so much about his safety, Yihao couldn't help but feel guilty. Although the age difference between the two is almost a generation, they are in harmony with each other, and every time they meet in the Mediterranean, Yihao is helped by Raiden, who gets along with Raidon and makes him feel at ease
As a man, his strength is enough for him to admire, and if he wants to talk about a friend around Yihao, it must definitely be this bold and attentive old gentleman.
"It's okay! Never mind! As long as you're safe and sound! Lei Deng boldly patted Yihao's shoulder and lifted the fish basket with his hand. Let's go. β
"Let's go......" Yihao almost didn't ask, "Where are you going?" words.
"To my house, of course!" Raidon's expression seemed to reproach him for asking too much. "Don't you say you don't have time or anything?"
"Well, this ......" even Raidon is in the Tower of Babel, so it is even more important to seize the time to free the blockade. However, Yihao struggled in his heart for a while, and finally lost to the fetters called "human affection and righteousness".
"Then excuse me, Raidon will let me introduce you......," Yihao beckoned to Asora in the distance, motioning for her to come and talk. This is my ...... My wife's name is either Asora or Lilith. Asora. This is an old friend of mine, who I used to owe a lot of help to me and pay attention to my politeness. β
Yihao who is introduced like this. A cold light like a demon appeared in his eyes, and Asora realized the important position of Raiden in his heart, and unconsciously put away his proud expression, and nodded softly to Raidon.
"Your wife? Is that...... It's a 'brother and sister', right? Raidon nodded kindly to Asola and snickered. Hehe, my Chinese language is getting more and more slippery...... Let's go, Yihao. And 'brother and sister' Colenza, they should have dinner ready, so let me treat you well! β
Even in the locked space dominated by Lingzi, Raidon's residence can still make people feel different and luxurious, because it is almost exactly the same relationship as his mansion in Sicily, and Yihao, who stepped into it, unconsciously gave birth to the illusion of retrograde in time and space.
When dinner is served with carefully prepared local seafood. The host's Raiden sat in the seat, while the guests, Yihao and Asora, took the second seat, and Raidon's four wives were seated. As is customary, he stood next to him and waited for the three of them to eat.
"Anyway, I didn't expect Raiden to be in the Tower of Babel, but fortunately, the four ladies are safe......
Yihao cut the giant lobster with a knife and fork as he asked about Raidon's experience.
"yes, no one thought that suddenly they would not be able to use electricity, and then I heard rumors about the Tower of Babel. Luckily, we were near Colorado at the time, so we got a car and got there...... "Raidon made a shot. "I was attacked by strange beasts on the way, but fortunately I drove them away with a shotgun, otherwise my wives would have been injured......," the old gentleman's loving gaze fell on the wives beside him.
"You're amazing." Yihao really admired. The "strange beast" that Raiden said is an angel beast, no matter whether the weapon he uses is a shotgun or something else, the fact that he fights the angel beast with mortal power alone is enough to make people admire.
"It's incredible to think about it now, how could I have had that kind of courage back then......" Raidon closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his hands and concluded in a fierce tone. Love! It must be love! The love for my family gave me courage and strength, and that's why the miracle of love finally happened! β
"That's the case...... Yihao nodded ambiguously.
He noticed that Asora was snickering next to him, and the unique charm of the old gentleman seemed to make the killing witch also have a good impression. This made Yihao can't help but admire, at least in terms of mature personality, the gap between the two is as huge as their age.
Seeing the scene of Raidon and his four wives falling in love with each other in harmony, Yihao unconsciously replaced the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox's Silent Rain in his mind, Lilith of the Nine Dawn Hidden Princess's Tielan Demon Princess, and Valkyrie's Brunhilde from his past life to this life, so that he also wonderfully stood on the same position as Raidon, but as for whether such a warm and moving harmonious picture will appear in front of him in the future Iron Family, it is a very uncertain fact at present.
Therefore, for Yihao, the pioneer Raidon is undoubtedly the best example of him honing his manly strength.
It's just that at least it has to wait until the problem at hand is solved.
"Speaking of which, have you seen anything strange happening here lately?"
Yihao inquired to Raidon. Conrad's purpose is to bring the virtual personality to life, and the place where it is located must have the existence of the Spirit Child, if it is hidden here, then perhaps Redden, who lives here, will notice it...... I want to think so, but Yihao actually doesn't have much of a habit, but to his surprise, Lei Deng showed a thoughtful look when he heard this, and when he saw his Yihao, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hey, what's really weird here?"
"It's a little strange to say that it's strange, but since this is the land given by God, it's not a strange thing to see God......"
"Do you see God?" Yihao immediately stood up and eagerly confirmed. "Are you sure?"
"Actually, I don't know if it's God. But dimly, I could see that he was accompanied by a saint, so I guess that's God, right? β
Raidon spread his hands and recalled.
"Yihao, you know that I like to go for a ride, and after I came here, of course, I often sailed out on a yacht, although there are a lot of fish in the waters around here. There are also many islands, but most of them are surrounded by reef turbulence...... But anyway, life here is rich and stable, and generally no one wants to go to it, but that
Fishing on a sudden whim. It's like going to the islands to see ......."
"And you saw it up there?" Yihao slowed down as much as he could, but he was still quite excited.
"Well, when I was about to be swept in by the whirlpool, I finally let the yacht wash up on the beach......" Raidon had a look of horror on his face, showing the danger of the situation. Then, just as I was lying on the beach to catch my breath, I suddenly saw a man standing on a high cliff in the distance, looking towards me. He stood beside him, dimly like a saint, but before I could see them clearly, they turned and disappeared...... Then I spent a day on that island and I didn't see the man again, so I'm not sure......"
"That's right! Right there! Yihao pounded the table excitedly. Can Redden take me to that island? β
ββ¦β¦ Where do you go? β
Redden was rightly confused. Yihao, on the other hand, hesitated, not knowing whether to tell SΓΉ Leiden about the horrific truth about the Tower of Babel.
"Okay, okay. You and Wudao are both men who can't be separated......" As he hesitated, Raidon laughed heartily. "I know, get some rest tonight, and I'll take you to that island on a yacht tomorrow when the sun rises."
"Then please." Yihao bowed his head to Raidon and thanked him for the events in Sicily and Las Vegas. This was the third time he had received the help of the old gentleman, even in the previous lives of Dakris and Siegfried, Yihao had never owed such a human debt, although he knew that Raidon would never ask him for anything, but he secretly made up his mind that at least this time, no matter what means, he would keep the Greif family in the area, and there were tens of millions of residents in the area!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, when the yacht reached the island through the turbulence of countless reefs, Asola was already lying on the edge of the boat, vomiting profusely.
"Brother and sister are alright, right?" Redden looked at Asola with a worried look as she disembarked and fell limp on the sand.
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, in fact, in addition to seasickness, she should have been used to it a long time ago. Yihao shook his head at Raidon and felt a resentful gaze pierce his back. Well, Raidon just sent us here, maybe this island is going to be very dangerous soon, so it's better to get out of here. β
"Well, then I won't stay to bother you, is it really going to be two days later to pick you up?" Before getting on the boat, Raidon confirmed it to Yihao one last time.
"Don't worry, but you'll probably be surprised by then......" Watching the yacht go away, Yihao couldn't help but think of the scene where tens of millions of people were suddenly exposed to the empty plain after the locked space was lifted, and he suddenly felt a headache, thinking that maybe it would be better to let people return to the cruel reality and let them continue to immerse themselves in false dreams? In the end, he may become the object of resentment......
"I can't spare that guy......"
As he pondered, Asora finally recovered from the disorder of the semicircular canal, but she violently waved the murder weapon in her hand, and it seemed that she had put all her resentment on Conrad.
Seeing Asora's attitude, Yihao's mood relaxed incredibly, and he couldn't help but smile dumbly when he pursued the reason. ββ¦β¦ Saving the world or anything is too much of an exaggeration for me, so let's just look at it as a personal grudge here. "Yinfa, in the face of Penglai's crimes, let's get them back on Conrad first, as for those who are implicated by the way, their resentment or gratitude is their own business.
"Alright, let's go!" Yihao made up his mind to carry on his personal grudge, waved his hand to Asora, and then stepped forward.
The topography of the island is quite simple, the edge of the beach extends out is a row of towering mountain walls, the mountain walls are paved downward into a sloping plain, you can see a few low shrubs on the plains, and occasionally there are antelopes and other animals jumping between the bushes, it is a harmonious natural scenery, at a glance there is basically nothing suspicious.
ββ¦β¦ Did you guess wrong? Asora stood on the mountain wall and looked around, and finally turned to Yihao's body with doubt.
ββ¦β¦ No, you don't feel anything, do you? Yihao shook his head. By the time we set foot on this island, we were already in someone's realm. β
"Is that so?" Asora frowned sullenly.
"Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't have been in a cold sweat on my back since just now......," Yihao took a deep breath and looked somewhere ahead. I don't have a hobby of hide and seek, and since Your Excellency has such a strong hostility and no intention of hiding your figure, why don't you just stand up? Save each other some effort. β
οΌβ¦β¦ Let me fulfill your last wish...... οΌ
A low, arrogant voice rang out from the void, and the space in front of him rippled like ripples, and a man walked out of the ripples.
The man was dressed in a dark cloak, and the cloak was painted with intricate patterns in silver thread, but it could not hide the evil aura that constantly radiated outward. The flowing silver and dark blue eyes make for a handsome and beautiful appearance that is enough to become the lover of a girl's dreams, but the ambition and evil spirit that shoot out of those eyes are too strong to make people feel the danger of the flames.
"My half-body, ......," the man raised his hand to Yihao as if invited, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a cold arc. Destroy it! β
