On the side of the wall outside the Emerald Tower, the blue-robed woman's spell was still continuing, and the transparent water was flying and drifting in the graceful stroke of her hands, and then falling around, and the water vapor gradually gathered nearby, and then rose. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Freya slowly walked behind her sister, and her expressionless face finally changed a little: "Is this really okay......"

"Now that we've become like this, we're going to have to learn to accept it, my sweet sister." The blue robe swayed in the drum of magic, combined with the flying hair and blue eyes, made the whole person have an otherworldly sense of death, but its owner's voice was still stable: "Fate connects you and me with them, and then separates here, which should have its own meaning." Maybe they'll need to put it to the last test, but ......"

The sleeves of her robe slid down—Christine's hands gradually fell, and with them, the same calm water. When Duan Qing's team successfully entered the tower, her task of "opening the sea" was completed.

“...... They're all very good people, and I believe in that. Christine patted her robe lightly with both hands, then turned around, her big pretty eyes blinking in a flickering manner: "What do you think, my lovely sister?" ”

“...... Since my sister said so, of course I believed it. Freya's expression regained her composure, but her attitude did not change.

"Ah, sometimes you're more stubborn than Kim...... Did anyone tell you that, Freya? Christine sighed and shook her head, playing with her long blonde hair: "But, that's my lovely sister, oh hehehe......"

She walked over and took Freya's hand: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean, this matter is actually nothing ......" She took the hand of her expressionless sister and shook it twice casually, as if coaxing the little girl in the neighbor's house: "So, no matter what you think, sister, I will support you." ”

Then she let go of her hand and turned in a certain direction: "Now, it's time to face our fate." ”

She took the staff from her back and held it in her hand—she hadn't even used it when she was casting spells.

"Ahem......"

In the bushes opposite, an old man's cough sounded, and then a rickety figure slowly turned out from behind a large tree.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... Sorry to disturb the two of you, but ......"

The old man's clothes were very shabby, dressed in rags, and the black strips of cloth that could no longer be called clothes even revealed some of the skinny bodies that belonged to the old man. The pale hair hung sparsely on the old man's head, matching the wrinkles on his face, and some drooping cheeks, giving people a shaky feeling.

However, the Great Magician Combo became serious at the same time.

“...... But we've made an exception for you to occupy this place for one night, aren't you...... cough cough cough ...... Consider ......"

The old man stretched out his hand forward, and the thin hand looked so weak.

“...... How about giving us some time, too? ”

On Christine's blue robe, the golden lines suddenly lit up.

The blue wall of ice suddenly appeared in front of her, and the next moment, there was a cracking sound from the ice wall—the ice wall was not broken, but in the center of it, a round hole suddenly appeared, and the traces of the shattering started from the round hole and quickly extended in all directions-

Crash!

At the moment when the ice wall completely collapsed, the red-robed woman's delicate voice sounded, and the hand covering the sleeve of the robe had already stretched out, and a long sword composed of flames was extending from it.

There was a sudden burning breath in the air, the embers that had just slashed through the flaming sword—on one side of her, a black figure had just tumbled and fallen from the sky, each holding a short sword in each hand. The short sword was dark all over, and a purple-black eerie light flashed on it.

Freya didn't speak, but her eyebrows slowly rose.

"It seems that the actors are all here." The clatter echoed around the tower, the sound of Christine's footsteps walking on the bluestone slab. She walked in the direction of the emaciated old man, and with a swing of her right hand holding the staff, she swung the already scattered wall of ice into a cloud of ice crystals. She didn't look back to see how her sister was doing, but stopped at a certain distance: "Oh, poor Convina, you're so old, you're still running around, you ......"

She put her staff up and slammed it on the ground next to her: "...... Haven't given up yet? ”

"Our cause is very necessary, you ...... Ahem, you should understand, people like you ......" The old man was on crutches and pointed his fingers around: "And her, and ...... Everyone in the Council of Seven should understand......"

The old man covered his mouth and coughed twice: "There are always things that need to be done...... And. His old face suddenly put on a smile: "You're not too young, aren't you also running around......

"Oh, hehehe......" Christine let out a queenly laugh again, but this time, she really put on a queen's posture, and it seemed that she was angry, even the golden hair flew in the air with the evaporation of magic, and the ends of some hair gradually turned into watery white.

"Dead old man, it seems that you really think you have lived long enough......"

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

Duan Qing's process of entering the tower was actually not smooth, because after they passed through the entrance on the wall, they still had to find a way to climb to the first floor.

Although technically speaking, this area under the water is only considered the first floor.

There is a hole on the right, and it looks like there should have been a staircase here, which was probably made of wood, so it has disappeared from the erosion of the current. The attributes of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Broken Mountain are higher, so the two of them go up first, and then they are responsible for pulling the people behind them up. The separation of the water below also makes the situation on the floor clearly visible, which should have been intact, but now there are many cracks, and the river is probably flowing from here to an unknown place.

There were still a lot of old furnishings here, which had been damaged and unrecognizable due to long-term soaking, and Duan Qing and the others didn't have much time to observe these objects - God knows how long that water mage would last.

Sure enough, after Duan Qing was the last to climb up, there was a sound of water converging from behind. A few people looked back and saw that the water had risen at the mouth of the cave, gradually calming down.

"Those two...... What about the two great magicians? Mengzhu asked with some concern.

"It's okay, they'll find a way to get in." Duan Qing replied: "After all, the strength is there, so we don't have to worry about it...... Have you started searching this place? ”

"Not yet, but now we can get started." The answer to him was Snow Spirit Phantom Ice. The woman turned her head and began to look at the dimly lit room.

There are no windows on the second floor, but there is still light coming in. Duan Qing looked up and saw that there were some small windows around the ceiling - it was supposed to be a higher floor, but it was shining, it seemed that it should be due to some kind of ingenious design.

For some reason, the tower looks very large from the outside, but this floor is not very wide. Through the surrounding light, several people could see the opposite wall, which was about a dozen meters away from the edge they were. From the outside, the tower should be at least twice as wide as it is here.

"It seems that this is really a magic tower, it's kind of interesting......" Broken Mountain made his own judgment, and then took the lead in lighting the torch. A bright yellow glow instantly illuminates everything here.

They were shocked by what they saw.

After yesterday's search of the ruins, Duan Qing and the others already had a general impression of this place that had spanned thousands of years, and they were also mentally prepared to face the inside of a ruin-like tower. But now they saw the second floor of the tower, which was really beyond their expectations.

Over here...... Almost well preserved.

Wooden table, wooden chairs, bookcases, beds, and a quaint wooden box near the corner near the bed. On the other side, near the center, there was a yellow-gray carpet, and something that looked like flower pots was placed on the stall, and it looked like some plants had been cultivated in it before, but now they are gone. Near where they were, there was a wooden barrel that appeared to be used to hold water, but it was now empty. In the center of the round room, a small round table was placed, and on it there were some utensils like cups, plates, and candlesticks, which, like all the furniture in the vicinity, had been covered with a layer of time because they had not been used for a long time. But compared to the fate of the furniture outside, it's so much better.

Moreover, it looks like a place where someone lives.

"Luck!" When Duan Qing's whistle sounded, Mengzhu also shouted out in surprise: "Finally...... Finally there is a place to search, woowoo woo woo ......"

Thinking of the various encounters encountered in the past few days, as well as the results of almost no gains, even Duan Qing couldn't help but shed tears. But he still adhered to the spirit of a professional and waved his hand: "Try not to move, pay attention to the organs, and open a search." ”

Even if he doesn't say it, the rest of the people know what to do. Several people scattered and began to search for anything of value in the room, and even her throbbing excitement could be heard from the little girl's side: "Search, search......"

It seems that it has been holding back for a long time......

Duan Qing also held back for a long time, he looked left and right, and then walked towards the bookcase that no one had paid attention to.

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

"In the year 548 of the Phoenix calendar, water is on February 20."

"It was as cold as ever. I had another fight with the Fabregas guy, who always relied on the older to point fingers, but in fact the level was very poor. No wonder I was sent to work with me in a place like this. ”

"In the year 548 of the Phoenix calendar, water is on February 26."

"I need to send some money back, and Mana is complaining to me in her letter, do I want to stay in this remote place! Everything is an imperial arrangement......"

What was in Duan Qing's hand at this time seemed to be a diary. Duan Qing wasn't sure if this diary was written by the owner of this room, but the other books were either obscure or not known at all, and it took him a long time to find such a book that he could understand—he was expecting to be able to pull out a magic skill book or something like that from here.

Most of the content at the beginning of the diary was similar to the short self-venting of parents, Duan Qing didn't want to waste time on these things, but there was nothing more useful here, so Duan Qing had to read it casually.

Thankfully, those changes later.

"In the year 548 of the Phoenix calendar, water is on March 16."

"The guards brought up a strange stone, which is said to have been found by nearby villagers. The stone looks like it might have something to do with magic absorption, and I'm going to look into it. ”

"That dead old man at Fabregas is laughing at me for not doing my job, and in fact what kind of job is there in this damn place......"

"In the year 548 of the Phoenix calendar, the water is on March 18."

"The research has made a new discovery, these stones react to the elements very specially, as if there is no regularity, and it seems that there is a special pattern. I need to go to that village to investigate its origins so I can do further research. ”

"Fabregas began to make a big fuss about what I had done, humming...... Why would such a mage be born in the world, this is simply an insult to this sacred profession! Can't he use his shrunken brain to think about the impact this stone would have on our current living conditions if it could be exploited? ”

"The Empire will reward us for our achievements and contributions! We might get promoted! Even if we can't do without it, the place we are in will become an important border town! Maybe there will be a big boom! ”

"Forget it, how could Fabregas have such a long-term vision......"

“...... What to see? Xue Ling Phantom Ice leaned over and stretched out her head towards the thing Duan Qing was holding.

"A diary." Duan Qing gestured, then looked at her, "What's wrong." ”

"I found a secret passage in the back of that closet, so I'm here to let you know." Xue Lingphantom Ice pointed to a corner: "The others have already passed, but I guess it's nothing more than a passage leading to the upper floor, and the arrangement of that wardrobe is very abnormal......"

She shrugged, then continued to stick her head: "What is written in the diary, let me see ......"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished reading it yet." In order to avoid the woman's breath, Duan Qing moved his body so that his arm would not continue to feel the softness of the other party's chest: "I'll give you ...... when I'm done reading it later."

"Hey, stingy ......" Duan Qing's movements aroused the woman's curiosity even more. The black cloak shook twice, trying to get a glimpse of the contents of the diary, but in the end, he couldn't find a suitable angle to peek, so he waved his fist twice hatefully, and seeing that Duan Qing still ignored her, he had to go somewhere else to continue her search.

"In the year 548 of the Phoenix calendar, the water is on March 20."

"The team that set off for exploration has returned. The stone is abundant in the nearby area, and according to the villagers who have lived here for generations, it seems to be showing signs of growth. However, according to my observations and speculations, the so-called growth is probably based on the same principle as the crystallization reaction of the Pukra diamond......"

"I brought back some green ore, which should be enough for the next test material. The previous stones infused with magic all reacted differently, and I need more samples to record them......"

There was a break in the handwriting, and then the day's content continued.

"Considering that more of this green stone may be needed in the future, I intend to establish a transit station near the outpost to transport the ore. I'd better move some of the population over, they seem to be idle, just in time to serve as my men, in the service of the great empire......"

"I decided to name the village where I was about to be born: Greenstone Village."

A chill ran down his back, cold sweat was all over his body, and a sudden malice suddenly hit Duan Qing's heart.
