Chapter 128: The Contest of Love and Beauty
"Is this the "Nexus Tower"......" The day after a night of recuperation and rest, the Raiders team led by Estelle set out to target the "Nexus Tower" where Wiseman was. When everyone easily passed through the already silent neighborhood and looked at the towering spire with the somewhat dazzling morning sun, even if they had been prepared for its height from a distance, there was an indescribable sense of shock at the moment when they saw the real thing up close.
"It's so high...... And it seems that the surface material has been treated, and this one can't be climbed. Fei looked at the tower and said.
"If you fail to climb at this height, I'm afraid you won't have much hope of surviving......" Sherazade continued.
"It's pretty high...... Probably taller than the Platinum Pagoda, the imperial capital of Tamriel...... "This was Heliga's impression - although the Platinum Pagoda only existed in Bernardo's memories, he had not visited it himself.
The gates of the Central Tower are unobstructed for all. Perhaps Wiseman had changed the setting before, and there was not even the slightest obstacle around the huge space, and everyone entered the treasure of this civilization that was destroyed thousands of two hundred years ago.
Inside the tower, in the middle of the only walkway, is a strange device like a teleportation point, and the glittering liquid flows underneath. Dr. Russell was intrigued, but even he didn't dare to get too close to touch something he had never seen before—his expertise had told him something that most people were unaware of: the crystal clear liquid, which was actually highly conductive; It is precisely because of this that it has enough energy to tear apart the space and instantly transmit people from one place to any corner of the tower.
Of course, in addition to this strange thing that is placed on the surface openly, the whole tower has the crystallization and creation of ancient technology. It's just that everyone has a heavy responsibility, so they don't have that curious mentality - it's the right thing to solve the problem quickly.
Bypassing the long spiral corridor, the second-floor platform of the "Central Tower" is the only way to the top floor. In front of the roof is a glowing guiding device. Everyone wanted to come forward to check it out, but Joshua and the others, who had long sensed that something was wrong, stopped the behavior.
"Come out, Blubran." Joshua said calmly—the others were still wondering where the aura was coming from, but Joshua had already understood who he was—after all, they were once "colleagues" who fought side by side.
"Should I say it's the 'Tooth of Darkness'?" A pleasant voice, accompanied by bursts of red clouds, came by the "strange thief gentleman" unmistakable, "not only can you completely escape into the darkness, but the ability to see through other people's disguises is also first-class." ”
"No more nonsense. I ask you, is the "Professor" on the top floor of this central tower at this moment? As if desperate to prove something, Joshua at the moment seemed very aggressive, and there was no tactfulness in his attitude towards Blobran.
"Ah, it's not just him...... Except for the "Daohua Master", all the other "Executors" are also waiting for you on all floors...... Of course, if you can't pass my first and strongest trial...... There's no going to talk about that later. ”
"Don't be ashamed." Heiliga glanced at Blublan contemptuously, "I don't know about the others...... But where are you like Lévy? ”
"Huh...... If it was just a "battle" that tore like a beast and wanted to take the other party's life, I really couldn't compare to the sword of His Excellency the Sword Emperor. However, what is the understanding of "beauty"...... "He glanced at the princess with his mask covered, "then I am confident that I will not lose to anyone." ”
"Interesting...... When it comes to the understanding of "beauty", I, a "hunter of love", cannot admit defeat. Olivier seemed to be genuinely aggressive at the thief's words, "Then let me meet you." ”
"That's right...... Even I can't keep so many of you at once. The thief looked at the dozen pairs of eyes that were staring at him, and he didn't seem to be afraid, "But...... Are you the only one? I have the impression that although your level of channeling magic is commendable, your level of close combat is ......."
"Hehe, don't look at me like this, but I'm also a person who has practiced the "Fandelliu" swordsmanship...... Let me see the wealth that those passionate years with Mura have brought me. ”
"When Mura hears this, he will definitely kill you before Blobran......" This is the slander in the hearts of everyone present.
"Oh yes...... This courage is really commendable...... However, the task given to me by the professor is to leave at least two combat power ...... If this condition is not met. He pointed to the door leading to the third floor behind him, which was sealed by a special barrier, "You can't move on to the next 'trial'. ”
“…… In that case, let me cover this guy. Everyone looked at each other, and finally Agaté took a step forward, "Others, don't you still have important things to say, important things to do?" ”
This is indeed the case. Kim waited to make a break with Valut, and Sherazade was eager to learn the whole story of the Captain's fall from Luciola. The friendship and warmth that Estelle, Titda, and Faye want to pass on to Ling, and Joshua wants to make a break with Levi—not to mention Kevin and Helliga, one is an "exorcist hunter" under the secret orders of the Church, and the other has been planning to target Wiseman for a long time.
"Then please." Everyone looked at each other, with determination, worry, and relief in their eyes - but in the end, the opinions were unanimous.
"Well—who is better in my or your "beauty"—prove it here! Agat-kun, I'll leave the aid to you! ”
"Ahh Leave it to me! Agaté's great sword was raised, like an angry bull.
"Hehe......" Bloblan's hand resurfaced his signature delicate staff, "the war of love and beauty!" This is the opening of the door! ”
——————————————————————
"No problem, right?" Taking advantage of the declarations of Olivier, Agaté, and Blobland, they quickly entered a state of engagement, and everyone passed through the entrance without looking back. As everyone approached, the barrier disappeared in an instant, and then reappeared, cutting off the possibility of everyone turning back.
"It should be fine...... Mulla seems to have said that although he has never used it, Olivier's swordsmanship is still good. In addition, his magical talent is indeed very good, and with Agaté here, at least mediation will not be a problem. ”
"That's fine." Shelazadeh let out a sigh of relief, "In this way, we can move on with peace of mind." ”
"Uncle Jin, Sister Xuela, you have to get ready next." Estelle looked at the two guerrillas who seemed to have their own agendas in mind—they knew exactly what they would face in the near future.
"Don't worry, Estelle." Jin exhaled a mouthful, "I have already realized this battle with him. ”
"Me too...... Compare that to that, think about whether you forgot the lines you wanted to say to that kid. Shelazard tapped Estelle's forehead.
"Ah...... It's really ......," Estelle grumbled, a smile on her lips betraying what she really thought.
Mature and reliable everyone...... It's wonderful.
