"Just conjecture. Hadilith shook her head uncertainly: "The Lordier Continent is much more vast than we imagined. The Turbulent Forest is only part of it. The star-seeker community is also thriving, not only in the star-seeking secret society, but also in the group formed by many outstanding people. ”

In a completely unfamiliar territory, anything can happen. The resentment aggregate in the courtyard has been lingering here for many years, and the degraded people have been living with it for many years.

Perhaps, some kind of rule has evolved between them.

However, there is no way back for Hadilis and they must take any risks and complete the trial as much as possible.

The next step is to develop an offensive plan.

Caladir's legacy message makes it clear that there is a great deal of risk in relying solely on the Secret of the Stars against the Resentment Aggregate. While the Aggregate has a fraction of the power of Candusosreta, it is also powerful enough to pose a huge threat.

So, they need a special approach.

Guarding the main entrance of the temple, the starlit minaret is located in the glittering courtyard. The so-called Starlight Spire is a kind of rune tower made by star seekers with the help of the power of the stars, and its function is different from that of collecting the power of stars, and it belongs to the defensive fortifications.

Its main role is twofold, one is an energy shield, and the other is to suppress the beam. The former is the full name of the Starlink Shield, that is, the Starlight Spire located in different locations in the courtyard, through the link of the rune path, together to form the Starlink, so as to generate a powerful energy shield to resist the powerful impact from outside.

But unfortunately, as the years passed, many Starlight Spires were damaged and could not function properly, and the entire Starchain was also dysfunctional and could not be activated at all.

The latter is a single beam of energy emitted by the Starlight Spire to bind, suppress, and control enemy targets.

The specific method of manipulation, which Caladir taught Hadilis, is that the suppression beam can be separated from Starlink and operate alone, and it is the only assistance they can use at present.

Ideally, you would find a starlight spire that is intact and functioning. Replenish the minaret with runestones, reactivate the minaret, and then control the astrolabe, a device that manipulates energy beams, targets the resentment aggregate, and releases a suppressive beam of light, thus binding and suppressing evil energy.

"It seems that this is the only way to go!"

In the corner of the ruins, Eslena drew a rough topographical map of the glittering courtyard by pressing the stones. According to Hadiris's description of the shape of the Starlight Spire, six or seven locations were marked.

"Hadiris, I can only tell from the appearance that the Starlight Spire is not damaged. However, it is not known for certain internal conditions, let alone whether they will be able to function properly. ”

"It's not your fault, Rena. Hadilyse shook her head and smiled wryly, "This was originally a gamble. ”

Iluri frowned, "Even if the Starlight Spire isn't damaged. But where do we go to find the runestones that activate the spire?"

Hadilith pointed to the location of a starlight spire on the map, "Don't worry about that. In order to keep the Starlight Spire functioning, Starseekers have always had a backup plan. On the lower level of the Starlight Spire, there will be a small rune vault, which is a treasure trove for storing rune stones. ”

"What about the energy in the runestone, so ...... so long?"

Hadilith smiled slightly, "Runestone is the cornerstone of the Star Seeker civilization. In their culture? Runestones are shards of stars given to mortals by the gods. They have a well-established method of extracting, utilizing, releasing and storing. The exterior of the rune stone is engraved with sealing runes, and even if it is thousands of years old, the power of the stars in it will not be annihilated. ”

Iluri spread her hands and said, "Then there will be no problem. ”

"Good!" Eslena gestured to the map. The location of the spire closest to the courtyard gate: "Let's make sure we want to do that." What do I recommend? Just starting with this minaret, which is closest to us? The appearance is complete. The route of the Resentment Aggregate will pass through here? It's a good time for us to aim for. ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Then the next step is the action step. Eslena drew a line with the stone: "The main entrance to the courtyard is easily exposed. Over here? I noticed a gap in the wall that had collapsed? There is a slip road. Although it's not easy to walk? But it's closer in a straight line and leads directly to the Starlight Spire. Arriving at the Minaret? After determining that there is no danger? I'm here, there's a tower, and I'm on guard at the top. ”

"Iluri, you and Hadilith enter the Starlight Spire and first check if the Spire is intact. If it's intact? Immediately head to the Rune Vault, check the Rune Stones, and activate the Spire. As soon as the resentment aggregate is exposed to view, the suppressive beam is immediately released. ”

"If the Starlight Spire doesn't work properly, or if the Rune Vault collapses and there are no Rune Stones. In short, it is not possible to release the suppressed beam. Immediately withdraw from the spire and move closer to me. ”

Eslena, who was born as a ranger captain, has command skills, and based on the advantage of her vision, she probably organized a route in her heart.

"The second minaret, with a path behind the tower, was our alternative. Do you have any questions?"

"Nope. ”

"Nope!"

"Good. Then follow the plan I just said. Eslena clapped her hands and stood up, her eyes encouraging, "I believe that it was not an accident that we came here. This is a trial given to us by the gods, and it must have been silently watching us all the way through. ”

Eslena clenched her fists and raised them high: "So, we should not be afraid, we should not be cowardly. We will fulfill the unfulfilled wishes of the Star Seekers and unravel dream omens. ”

"The gods protect us!" said Eluri with her hand to her breast, fearless.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, the three of them immediately took action. Following the established route, cautiously beware of possible degraders, through the ruins, officially stepped into the bright courtyard.

The narrow alley was in ruins, and it was even more difficult to walk than Eslena had imagined. But after so much, they have already formed a tacit understanding between them, and they don't even need to talk, just a simple look to understand each other's intentions.

With concerted efforts, we successfully walked through the ruins and alleys, and the goal was getting closer and closer.

It was a peculiar spire, the first thing that caught your eye was the spire, in the shape of horns, two symmetrical arc spires pointing to the sky, and between the spires was a hollow ring with a diameter of about two meters, engraved with runes, because of the exhaustion of energy, horizontal in the center of the platform.

Then there is the tower body, which is a five-sided prism as a whole, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and is full of complex runes from top to bottom like the Rune Star Tower.

"Oops!"

When they came to the base of the Starlight Spire, the three of them were surprised to find that due to the collapse of the building next to it, there was a lot of rubble piled up at the entrance, which was almost completely covered.

"Don't panic. With a calm wave of her hand, Eslena stepped onto the gravel pile, probed her foot a few times, and her eyebrows stretched: "The gravel is loose." Eluri, come over and take a hand and see if you can find a way. ”

The rubble wasn't too big, and Eslena and Iluri worked together to clear it up for a while, revealing a black hole the size of a hole that could only be used for a person.

"It's too dark inside!" Esreena hesitated, "It looks like plans are going to change slightly, and my magic bow can provide you with light." It's just that we're going to lose our vigilance. ”

"No, Rena. Go as planned. "I'm not bad at eyesight, so it's a big deal to use a shield as a light." Vigilance is more important to us, and I don't want us to be trapped in the spire by a grudge aggregate. ”

Eslena didn't drag her feet: "Okay, you guys be careful. I'm right next to the tower, and if something happens, listen to me. ”

The elves living in the forest have a complete set of communication methods - bird chirps, which are very penetrating, and different calls can also express different meanings.

"Understood!"

"Action!"

"Come, Hadilis. I'll take you in!"

Eslena nimbly climbed a rock, hooked her hands into the gap, and quickly climbed the tower, hunched behind cover, her eyes locked on the end of the path—the possible route of the Resentment Aggregate.

Illuri took Hadilith's hand and leaned into the Starlight Spire.

The light was dim, but thankfully the interior was intact and spacious, and at a glance at it, she could see that in the center of the tower was a high platform made of circular stone steps, and the walls on both sides were neatly inlaid with translucent lines like jewels, forming runes of geometric beauty.

A purple ethereal shield lit up on Hadiris, illuminating her surroundings.

"Hadilith, you go and check if it's in good condition. I'm going to look for the side door to the rune vault that you said. ”

The two of them went their separate ways, and Hadilith slowly ascended to the central round platform with the help of the light of the shield. The central part is made up of several concentric rings, and the rings are delicately depicted with star charts composed of rings, triangles, body shapes, squares, etc.

Hadilith tried to move the ring, perhaps because of its age, the bite was solidified, and it took a lot of effort to reluctantly turn it.

The good thing is that it is intact and should be able to operate.

"Found it, Iluri. I found a side door!"
