Due to the special elemental environment of the Wind Continent, there was almost no biological threat from the high altitude on this continent, and even the dark clouds that had shown heavy rain a while ago quickly disappeared as this floating tower drifted away. The wind that swept through the sky then became the only remaining threat around this floating area, and the wind pressure that constantly entangled in it also covered the icy temperature around all the people who lived here, and the members of the Nasu tribe, who had lived in the northern grasslands for a long time, also showed their adaptability to the cold environment early on, and took out the quick action and various methods that could be used to keep warm: "Use the weeds I found before to block these cracks in the wall, since there are no tents, We have to survive on these stone houses. ”

"Make a fire, let's get together first to save the temperature, and Libar will take the warriors to the front and find some bigger stones to come back!"

"Those adventurers brought back some food before, it should be those beasts, hurry up and deal with it, we will have food tonight."

"Dig a pit here, I've asked the Divine Envoy before, it shouldn't matter if you dig a little deeper...... Sutar, how many weapons and tools do we have left? ”

"There's barely anything left, Patriarch."

The low and pale voice of the answer sounded in Surtu's ears, and the remnants of the grassland tribe who gathered together as the night approached seemed to have a momentary pause because of this answer: "Because we were in too much hurry before, we didn't bring anything except people, and there were almost no materials in this ruin, so we ......"

"Yes." Taking a deep breath, Surtu's expression also squeezed out a hint of resoluteness from the previous pale and exhaustion: "Then you have to find a way to live." Gather the members, get ready, and those who are too tired can go to rest first, and then get up in the second half of the night to keep vigil. ”

"The Wabu have also brought some news, and their supplies are inferior to ours." Sutar's middle-aged face still revealed uneasiness: "Fortunately, fewer of them survived, so the pressure may be less than ours." ”

“…… Let them come along, and we can help each other. Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Surtu then expressed his attitude again: "Don't divide the Sioux and Wabu anymore, everyone is now a clansman who has just survived from the beast tide, since the current predicament is the same, it is better to live together first." ”

"Without a proper place to live and a way to live, no matter how much you work together, it is useless." An old man of the Nasu tribe standing in the corner of the busy crowd raised his voice at this time: "This area in the air is too small, and there is no water and food at all, and it is only a matter of time before you die of thirst and starvation. ”

"Since those adventurers brought back food before, then I will also find a way to bring some back." Without refuting his old man's words, Surtu turned around and shook his head: "I will go to the Divine Envoy and ask her to tell us the way to hunt." ”

"It's been a long time since the Divine Envoy has been seen, are you sure she's still with us?" Sutar's voice quickly asked the concerns of the surrounding clansmen: "She...... Will it still help us? ”

"She's going to help us, after all, she's the one who got us here."

Looking around at the group of tribesmen with tired and sad eyes, Surtu's voice became more and more resolute in replying: "I heard that she is also trapped in this land now, and she is trying to find a way to improve our living environment...... Never mind. ”

"You wait, I'll go find her now."

With the hopeful eyes of the clansmen, the strong man of the tribe then slowly walked away from the gathered crowd with firm steps, and the darkness of the night also blurred everything around him, leaving him to forcibly find a route through his previous memories and touched the location of the tower that loomed in the darkness. The cold wind poured into him along the ruins between the old stone houses, and in the silence away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, only the whistling was still wandering around him for a while, and the patriarch who tightened his tribal robe then reached out and touched the wine jug on his waist, but the thought of taking a sip stopped abruptly in the next moment: "Damn, if that lethargy occurs again......"

"I seem to see someone."

A warning then appeared among the ruins in front of him, and a voice full of lazy feeling appeared in the next moment above the broken wall not far from Surtu: "I remember...... You seem to be one of those steppe tribes, right? ”

"I'm Surtu, the current patriarch of the Nasu tribe." The night made the outline of the figure even more blurred, and Surtu, who didn't dare to make a move easily, kept a vigilant look and asked tentatively, "Are you?" ”

"Jian Beidong, now he is an idler." Keeping a slapping motion, the naked swordsman, who was half-seated above the broken wall, shook the leg he hung underneath: "Really, the group of people got in on their own and left me here to show them the door—uh." ”

"No, I didn't say anything." As if sensing the change in the other party's expression, Jian Beidong, who waved his hand, then responded to Surtu's stare in a light but relaxed tone: "Of course, I'm not a bad person, you should have seen me when I met that woman before—ah no, it was when I met with the divine envoy." ”

"I had something else to do, so I wasn't idle here before." He waved his hand and explained in a low voice, and his voice in the darkness of the night was also extremely relaxed: "I'm just here to look after my family." ”

"So...... This adventurer. Hesitantly, he said his next words, his eyes kept probing Surtu in front of him, and then he also took two steps forward: "May I ask if the Divine Envoy is here now?" ”

"Of course, but—it's in there." Waving his hand in response to the other party's words, Jian Beidong stretched out his hand and pointed to the outline of the tower shrouded in darkness: "I heard that in order to solve the problem of the magic enchantment, they forcibly rushed to the tower. ”

“…… Is it. ”

His eyes became a little lost, and Surtu then stretched out his inquiring hand to the front again: "Then, Your Excellency the adventurer of this divine envoy—"

"Don't use this strange name, just call me Jian Beidong."

"Your Excellency Jian Beidong."

Still maintaining a respectful tone, Surtu turned to Jian Beidong and hugged his fists: "My people are hungry and cold now, I'm afraid they won't last long, do you know what the Divine Envoy plans to do with us in the future?" And how are you going to arrange for us? ”

"Well, I don't know." Shaking his head, Jian Beidong, who was sitting above, then raised his head abruptly as if he suddenly remembered something: "But I've heard some gossip, don't be sad when you hear it." ”

"I heard that the gods are planning to call you as laborers."

******************************

"The word hard labor may be a bit excessive, but it should mean the same thing."

Frowning her brow slightly, Naxia, who was walking in front, continued without looking back: "Look at the pitiful appearance of this territory I left in the void now, how can it be possible if I don't repair it? ”

"So you're going to ask those people to help?"

Duan Qing, who was following behind the other party and kept observing his surroundings, then also let out his own sigh: "Aren't you afraid that those laymen will damage your magic tower?" ”

"As long as you and your teammates are around, the probability of this kind of thing happening should be much smaller."

The light and shadow composed of countless magical runes swirled around Naxia, making the woman's swaying steps in front of her even more eye-catching: "Besides, I won't let them take charge of this tower easily, I will take care of it myself." ”

Stretching out her hand to show the inside of the tower in front of the two people, Nahia looked at the spiral staircase that kept stretching directly above and the cobwebs scattered around the circular wall, and the scene that had not been visited for a long time also followed the emergence of this rotten aura, and kept slicing at the tip of Duan Qing's nose: "Indeed, this tower is not an existence that ordinary people can handle at a glance, and I can still feel it-"

"There's a lot of pressure in this place."

The tips of his fingers passed over the surface of the magic runes that surrounded Naxia, and Duan Qing's consciousness also focused on the barrier formed by the magic runes as he broke through the magic protection, and the tingling sensation also connected to Duan Qing's frowning brows with the contact between his fingertips and the seemingly harmless outside air: "It hurts, it hurts—are you sure we're safe now?" ”

"What, don't believe in my strength?" The footsteps paused for a moment, and Naxia, who was walking in front, also let out a few low chuckles: "Don't forget whose territory is here, I'm all too familiar with this tower." ”

"Since this is your territory, what are we doing with so much effort to force our way in?" Duan Qing pursed his mouth with disdain: "Shouldn't it be as simple as walking into your own back garden?" ”

"I know the loopholes of the magic protection and the rune magic array, and it is easy for me to use these places to open the back door and enter the tower safely." The silk threads of runes kept scratching one rune after another in her hand, and Nahia's long black hair in front of her kept swaying from side to side as the energy in it came into contact with the energy from the outside world: "But that doesn't mean we can easily disarm these magical enchantments from the inside - in fact, it wasn't until I came in that I didn't know why we encountered so much resistance outside." ”

"The concentration of magic locked in here is simply more than the magical energy I invoked in my mortal rituals."

Walking between the steps that circled upward, Naxia, who was gradually rising with Duan Qing, sighed in a low voice, "Is it a side effect of being locked up in the Void World for a long time? Or maybe something went wrong in the course of the ritual? Hmph, interesting. ”

"Hey, we'll talk about the research later, let's stabilize the situation here first." So Duan Qing hurriedly pulled back the scattered thoughts of the great magician in front of him: "Let me think about it...... Since the powder kegs are about to explode, let's disperse them peacefully. ”

"Where is the reason for the magic energy in your hands to be handed over?" Glancing back at Duan Qing with disdain, Naxia, who was still operating something, then also let out a cold snort: "The inside and outside of the enchantment are now like balloons that are about to burst, although it is difficult to puncture from the outside world, but once it is punctured, the consequences are unimaginable, and simple retraction is not a clever choice." ”

"I'm going to digest this energy in the easiest way possible."

Before Duan Qing could say his next sentence, the great magician waved his hand and answered the question the other party wanted to ask: "The premise is that the magic facilities and magic array here are still alive. ”

"You don't think—"

"That's right, I'll activate the Violet Circle again."

Without looking back, Nahia's face became serious: "The reason why the Violet Circle is powerful is also because it is a combination of countless small magic circles that I have created over the years, and these magic arrays have many more uses than you can see now, and their role in this tower is also ever-changing. ”

"As long as it is properly controlled, it is not difficult to consume most of the magical energy compressed in the tower."

Stopping in the middle of the old spiral staircase, Nahia hesitated in one of the tower's side walls, "You should remember this place, right?" ”

"This is where you once lived." After slightly visually measuring the distance up and down, Duan Qing's voice replied with a slight abruptness: "That very gorgeous room is probably in this location." ”

"That's right, it's the control center of this tower."

The energy between her hands began to overlap and flash, and the sparks of countless magic runes began to wrap around her with the movement of Naxia's white hands, and her eyes also began to become serious, and then she also exhaled a heavy breath of turbid breath, sweeping the simple white robe and long black hair that moved with the wind behind her: "This is also the biggest reason why I insist on rushing in - if you want to fundamentally change this embarrassing situation for me, you must start here." ”

"Open!"

She let out a clear roar, and the two arms that parted in the air drove the magic runes to scatter from side to side like flowing water, as if the lines of the runes were imprinted into the walls, and then connected with the magic threads that suddenly lit up around the walls, and finally separated to the two sides with Nahia's command.
