Volume 9 The Journey of Slaying the Dragon Chapter 13 The Trap of the Twin Towers
After breaking through the atmospheric barrier, Luo Lan went all the way smoothly, and soon reached the third floor, where the field of vision suddenly widened, in front of him was a row of tall cover walls, and he did not see any guards stationed, behind it, in the distance were two spire towers that ran up and down on the left and right, separated by more than ten meters between them, under the cold white skylight, the sunset was mostly blocked by the gray thick rock wall, only at the edge of the arc glowed crimson trim. [Full text reading.]
Under the backdrop of the cloud peak behind them, the lonely and upright figure of the tower looked very slender, but Luo Lan knew that this was just an illusion under the parallax comparison, in fact, their interior was very wide, wide enough to accommodate a team of twenty people, if you want to find the safest place in the castle, it is undoubtedly there.
Strangely, whether he was passing through the plaza inside the castle or running up the stone steps leading to the upper floors, he never encountered a swordsman or any decent magic that stood in his way.
But he knew that it was only a prelude to the next more violent attack, and behind the calm was the storm that was brewing, and it was sure to rain down at the right time. So on the unhindered road, he became more cautious, and his speed slowed down, and he paid attention to the noise around him, and beware of any danger that could arise at any time.
Looking at Luo Lan's cautious appearance step by step through the mirror, Hedamik's heart also changed subtly, from the beginning of disdain, contempt, to surprise and surprise, Luo Lan's status in his heart has risen again and again, and now, he has some appreciation for this opponent who has not yet seen him.
Space Mage is a non-landed legal profession. Hedamic was often ostracized by other mages, causing him to drift further and further away from his fellow Mages in thought and deed. He didn't respect any aristocratic rules of precepts. In the concept of other places, the enemy should be attacked by any means. The mage should hide behind the wall and cast spells to destroy the enemy before contact, and if he fights the enemy face to face, it is like giving the opponent a chance to fight back at the expense of his strengths, so it can also be seen from his attack method that he has been enforcing this battle rule from beginning to end.
However, once the narrow road meets. He will definitely not back down.
That's it. A thought came to his mind, if this opponent had a chance to go head-to-face with him, who would win and who would lose?
pondered for a moment. He found it difficult to make an objective judgment.
Perhaps, this answer can only wait for you to find it.
Hedamik's eyes looked downward, his eyes were full of challenge and confidence, and he seemed to send his battle letter to Luo Lan through this.
He thought to himself, but before I give you this fair chance. You still need to pass the final test. If you can......
Hedamic was silent there, but Prince Shumi was restless. He stood up, pulled out a white silk handkerchief, and wiped the beads of sweat from his head, as if the dark room had become a cage that could suffocate him at any time. He thought to himself that the man was on his way to this place right now, and he would pass through his castle as if he were walking through his home, and it might not be long before the other party would knock on the door of this place, like the Grim Reaper harvesting souls, without notice, and then ...... Prince Xiumi shuddered, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, now that he lacked guards around him, he pinned all his hopes on this mage who didn't seem to be reliable, he felt that this might have been a wrong choice at first, but now, did he have a choice?
"For your safety, you can get out of here. β
Hedamic finally spoke, and his expression became more solemn than ever.
Prince Xiumi looked at him with astonishment, and after a while, he suddenly reacted, opened his mouth and said, "Leave, how to leave?" If you swagger out at this moment, I'm afraid it's the best live target, right?
Hedamic took out a magic scroll from the spatial ring on his hand, slowly handed it out, and said, "This scroll can teleport you to your daughter's room in the basement, what to do after that, I believe you will make the right choice." β
"How do you know that my daughter is hiding in the basement?" Prince Xiumi's face tightened, and his outstretched hand froze in the air, for the safety of Janice, he arranged her in the basement by himself, except for his close cronies, he didn't tell anyone, how did the other party know?
"Have you forgotten that I can see everything in my domain, and no one has ever left the castle before, so I don't think there's anything to hide from me except the basement. Hedamic said lightly, and then he gestured outward, "Don't worry, after you leave, I will intercept the enemy here and fulfill the task that the mage will give me." β
Prince Xiumi seemed to have thought of something, and took the scroll with a sinking face, he examined it carefully, pointed with his finger, and said in an unkind tone: "One thing I don't understand, what exactly does this scroll rely on to accurately teleport to Janice's side?"
"Hehe, it's very simple space magic, just before protecting Janice from coming to this castle, I gave her a small gift just in case......" Hedamic smiled, as if to say something insignificant, or perhaps to avoid something.
But Prince Shumi's heart didn't feel a pang, and the other party's motive didn't seem to be so simple. Could it be ...... For a moment, several possibilities popped up in his mind, and his face couldn't help but turn pale.
But now he didn't have time to think about it so much, after all, his own safety came first, and the scroll was carefully held on his chest, as if this was the only way to calm his pounding heart.
Hedamik suddenly looked up, his eyes looking straight up, and Prince Shumi also looked up by habit, but found that he saw nothing but the top plate.
"Above here is the top of the tower, and if you want to get to us, you have to turn over a dark slab from above and come down, and that's the only way to get there. Hedamic said in a deep voice.
Prince Shumi did not understand what he meant by this, for his own master seemed to have more say than he did when it came to the structure of the castle's secret passages.
"But there are two towers here, which one will he choose? the opposite one, or this one?" Hedamik clasped his hands, as if to say to himself.
"Either one will be the same, right?" said these words as if they made no sense, for it seemed to Prince Shumi that when the man found that the tower on the other side was empty, he would naturally turn around and find it, and there would be no way to avoid it.
"You're absolutely right, no matter which tower he goes up, the result is the same. Hedamik laughed mysteriously, and said, "Because, in the tower opposite, I have laid an atmospheric magic trap, and once he steps on the ground there, then it will touch it, and the great momentum is enough to push him out of the tower, and at that height, there is no place to settle around, hehe, he is certain to die." β
"But what if he chooses this tower?" Prince Shumi asked.
Hedamic shrugged his shoulders, smiled and pointed to the mirror, and said, "That's okay, I also set up a teleportation array on the tower opposite, if he finds here, then I will use space magic to teleport myself there, and before that, I will drop a magic scroll that is enough to collapse the entire tower spire," he smiled smugly, and said, "So, no matter which tower he chooses to enter, there is no way to escape." β
In the end, he sighed, as if he was feeling sorry for this good opponent, it was a two-choice question, but no matter which answer the opponent chosen, the winner would inevitably be himself.
Prince Shumi couldn't help but look into the mirror, and he suddenly wondered how that person had chosen......
At this moment, Luo Lan stood on the horizontal corridor between the two towers, in front of him was a half-man-high stone parapet, and further on it was empty, at a glance, the outline of the mountains in the distance was clearly visible, and the sunset had sunk to the bottom of the valley, leaving only a gray leaden sky.
The ground behind this castle was very low, and there was a very high drop from here, and the cold wind blew uncoveredly, pulling at his clothes wantonly, and the echo in his ears seemed to warn him of something.
Luo Lan raised his head, he knew very well that his every move was under the surveillance of others, and the obstacles and inexplicable magic attacks along the way proved this, according to common sense, they shouldn't let him come here so easily.
If it's not that the other party has already fled, then there must be an invisible trap waiting for him.
Of course, he wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that this was the former, but when it came to this, he wouldn't allow himself to flinch in the slightest.
So, what's really there?
What is the opponent doing in the back?
He squinted upwards, and the figures of the twin towers looked dark and silent, like two tall giants looking down.
After thinking about it for a moment, he finally made a decision and walked towards one of the towers.
