Chapter Ninety-Five: Mission I

Bloodborne Valley Watchtower, Camp Conrad.
The blizzard outside the camp showed no sign of stopping, and the atmosphere inside the camp was even colder, and the bonfire in the center was burning brightly, and the biting chill could not be reduced in the slightest.
“...... Recount what happened just now. ”
Conrad de Salion, who was sitting at the long table, had a grim expression, and his cold red pupils reflected the figure opposite him with the same indifferent expression:
"Brandon's Captain of the Guard and Night's Watchman... Lord Edward. ”
The indifferent night watchman slowly raised his head, and there was a little chill in his voice that gasped softly, and his tired eyes looked at the prince of Sackland in front of him very weakly, and licked the corners of his chapped lips:
"I... I've told you everything I know, and it wouldn't make any difference if I had to say it again. ”
At this moment, Edward was extremely depressed - his armor was completely reduced to scrap metal, his cloak and clothes were also tattered, and he was covered in bruises from head to toe, and his left arm, which was obviously twisted, was still hanging from his neck with a broken hemp rope.
For the Night's Watch, it was a miracle that he was still alive.
"Whether things will change or not, I should be sure. The grim Prince Sackland spoke again, and in an unquestioning tone:
"And what you have to do is to carry out my orders without reservation!"
As the words fell, Conrad's hands rubbed lightly against the armrests of his chair - a sign that he was starting to get impatient.
"......" The silent night watchman sighed and slowly lowered his head: "Yes." ”
"After heading to the Wasteland west of the Valley of Blood, His Highness Brandon and I and Lord Zena, the Knight of the Church, have officially converged.
But actually... That was a mistake, a very serious mistake. ”
"Are you looking in the wrong direction?" Conrad frowned slightly, "Or is it too late, and all the clues have been destroyed?"
The indifferent Edward shook his head and looked at Prince Sackland indifferently: "No, the wrong one is 'you', Your Highness Conrad. ”
For a moment, a subtle hint of killing intent flashed in the corner of Connod's eyes.
"The camp wasn't what we thought it was, the camp left behind by the hunting search party. The Night's Watch muttered, "It's the beginning of it all, the missing Ranger ——!"
He encountered an army of tens of thousands of monsters, but instead of invading south as he had expected, they turned around and headed east—and he was finally found in the mounds and killed as he followed. ”
"That's right, from the very beginning, the target of this sudden army of monsters was not the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress, and after confirming this, His Highness Brandon ordered the entire team to return the way it came. ”
"The result was unfortunate - we were caught in a terrible snowstorm on our way back to the Valley of Bloodbones, and we were attacked by three carrion demons and werewolves, and the entire team suffered heavy losses, more than half of the number of people were lost, and only one-fifth of the people returned when we set off!"
"The chief knight of Naze was seriously wounded, and he himself was slightly wounded, and none of the surviving soldiers were intact, and they had not been fed and repaired for four days. ”
"That's all I know. ”
As the words fell, a tired Edward gasped softly.
A frowning Conod tapped on the armrest and looked at him meaningfully, "Night's watchman, you're still vague. ”
"Vague?"
"You know exactly what I'm really trying to ask, but you've always deliberately avoided it. Conod's red pupils stared at him:
"Brandon de Salion... Where the hell is he now?!"
Edward's pupils contracted slightly, and he said indifferently:
"His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion......"
............................................................
The roar of the dragon continued to come from outside, but the three black-haired wizards had no intention of turning back.
At this moment, the three of them were desperately gasping, and none of them had the strength to think about the next countermeasures, only indescribable exhaustion and cold and piercing fear.
Exhausted, Loren struggled to his feet, looking at where they had come as they ran for their lives.
It was a magnificent hall, with endless columns in neat arrays at almost every corner—and unlike the pure white carvings they had seen before, almost every column had brightly coloured frescoes, and was carved with extremely ornate carvings rather than simple reliefs.
In fact, from a normal point of view, it would be more appropriate to call it a "palace"... It's just that after seeing the magnificent royal city of Niderhogg, with its imposing high walls and endless pure white bridges, Loren can hardly be impressed by the sight in front of him, and he doesn't think of this for a while.
This was a good omen, and the fact that they had not gone in the wrong direction from the long bridge to the palace had indeed continued to make their way to the top of the royal city.
"That's... Does anyone want to know what the hell this is?" Isaac's tired and weak voice came from the side, "Because I suddenly feel that I am of little use for this, so it is okay for either of you to ask?"
"I guess......" Lusen, who was also covered in bruises, said tentatively:
"This should be a palace somewhere?"
"That's right, we all know this is a palace now, thank you so much. Even though he was out of breath, Isaac didn't forget to roll his eyes and look at the black-haired wizard:
"Columns, halls, palaces...... Aren't you aware that this place is very similar to somewhere, Loren?!"
The black-haired wizard was slightly stunned, and then suddenly woke up:
"Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower?!"
Isaac shrugged:
"I've seen the records of the Wizard's Tower before and after its construction, and while there's no very conclusive evidence to prove it—there's no doubt that it made a great impression on Logan, the 'First Wizard'. ”
"Although this is very unfounded, but... According to the structure of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, this palace is the 'front hall', and then compare the Wizard Tower to the Dragon King's Tower......"
"If that's the case, then our target should be behind this hall - the first wizard Logan also traveled from here to the Dragonlord's Tower, not the top floor directly from the Spiral Tower, as we suspected!"
"This is the real 'road to salvation'——!"
As the words fell, both Isaac and the gray-eyed boy's faces showed expressions of excitement, but the black-haired wizard still frowned, his dark pupils lost in thought.
Isaac's reasoning should have been correct, in other words, this should be the right route for his group, not the spiral tower that the three of them thought they had in the first place.
Case... Why?
Why did the bone dragon go out of his way to destroy the spiral tower and wipe out all the guards who stood in its way?
Obviously, as long as you look on coldly, what is the reason for "helping" yourself......
Everything that was originally clear suddenly became unbelievable, and there was a smell of conspiracy everywhere.
There is also the Fanesis who has already taken a step ahead of himself, no matter whether the other party has arrived at the Dragon King Tower or not, he will definitely wait there for him to "throw himself into the net", and he will never let himself leave this lost Dragon King City alive.
The gray-eyed boy didn't know what was going on with Eberden's wizarding tower, but at least he roughly understood what Isaac meant: "So once we pass here, we can reach the Dragonlord's Tower, right?"
"Uh... Probably. ”
"Probably?"
"This isn't the real Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, and I'm just speculating - we haven't found Logan's relics since the Long Bridge!" Isaac sighed, and said in a very complaining tone:
"Besides, don't all those damn knights have such routines? The tall protagonist is lucky enough to find the treasure, but there must be a particularly powerful guy guarding it, otherwise...... Oh. ”
Isaac, who was halfway through speaking, was suddenly stunned and looked in the direction of the gate in a daze:
"I'm such a crow's mouth!"
