"The Hidden Demon Tower, I've found you!"

Roland grabbed Nikita and Matvey's arms, respectively, and rushed out in a "divine flight".

Rumble! A white sonic boom cloud bloomed behind him, and Roland flew at breakneck speed along the "shortcut" mapped out by the divine magic. Maintaining supersonic flight with his physique is under a lot of pressure, especially for the aging and frail Matvey and the delicate and delicate Nikita. Fortunately, Roland had already considered this problem, and while turning on the "Divine Flight", he slapped a "silence technique" on himself.

This seemingly inexplicable move worked wonders at high speed, and the wind quickly disappeared the moment it touched the 20-foot Silent Barrier. It was only then that Nikita and Matvey suddenly realized Roland's intentions.

The principle of the spell of "Silence" is to create a space where the transmission of sound waves becomes extremely slow and unacceptable to human ears, and the storm formed by the air flow is actually a kind of mechanical wave with intense movement and huge energy, and it becomes slow down immediately after entering the space affected by "Silence", and the energy contained in the wave decreases sharply with the slowdown of the wave speed, which is not enough to cause harm to the human body.

Roland maintained a high-speed flight state, relying on the super-high energy divine power that was ejected backwards from his body. If Roland is regarded as a supersonic vehicle that jets divine energy, and uses the common sense of physics on Earth to analyze the "divine energy" that powers him, then this is also a kind of "working fluid", and it stands to reason that it should also be affected by the silent barrier. However, in fact, the "Divine Flight" did not significantly reduce its speed due to the opening of the Silent Enchantment, and Roland could only think that the divine power did not conform to the laws of physics in the general sense, not to mention that most mortal spells had a default rule: they were ineffective against divine power or artifacts.

Flying at full speed, Roland was like a meteor tearing through the dark sky of the shadow realm, and after half an hour, he finally caught up with the chasing tower, and immediately slowed down and landed on a hillside connected by pitch-black chains near the tower.

Looking at the towering steel tower thousands of feet away, Roland introduced to the two companions around him who had not yet figured out the situation: "That is the Hidden Demon Tower, where Leonid and Natalia are hiding. ”

……

On the top floor of the Shadow Tower, the large hall has no doors or windows, and the top dome and the floor are all forged from thick enchanted steel plates, reflecting the tower's owner's extraordinary penchant for steel creations.

In the center of the dimly lit hall is an altar that rises and transmits light, from which the figures of Leonid and Natalia emerge.

Standing on the altar, the Mithril Warlock looked around, and by the magical light emitted by the activation of the teleportation array, he saw that the walls of the towers around him were full of hooks of different lengths, each hook was tied to a long iron chain, and the end of the chain was linked to the end of the shuttle, dagger, sickle, flail, meteor hammer, thistle terrestris and other weapons that emitted a strong smell of blood, as well as unknown torture instruments, which reminded him of the torture chamber where prisoners were tortured, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Leonid, my friend, did you have a good trip home?" A feminine voice rang from the throne in front of the hall.

"Dear Lord Constantine, Natalia and I had some minor accidents in the town of Cell."

Leonid dared to glance upwards, only to see a humanoid creature sitting on top of the shadow-shrouded throne of steel, a cloak woven of countless slender chains that enveloped him like a large chain mail, making it impossible for those looking up to see his true face. If you look closely, you can see that the chains are still squirming slightly, making the sound of metal sliding. Every time Leonid saw Konstantin's strange robe, he couldn't help but think of the black intestines exposed to his body, and he shuddered, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look.

"Tell me what trouble you've had in Cell." Konstantin asked leisurely. His voice seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Shadows, feminine and weird, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"Yes, Lord Constantine, when we returned to the town of Cell, it happened that two outsiders were there, one of whom claimed to be the prince of the kingdom of Kolas in the Far East, and the other young woman, who seemed to be a witch from Beacon Mountain, who approached my father and tried to persuade him to go to Krasbourg to build a railway, which was a temptation for my father to resist."

"In other words, your father is more inclined to accept the prince's invitation to build a railroad than to come to the Shadow Realm to build a weapon for me?" Konstantin's voice was cold.

"I'm afraid so." Leonid replied helplessly.

"Hehe, so you came back empty-handed?"

Konstantin's sneer made Leonid's scalp tingle, and he hurriedly remedied: "I'm ashamed that I couldn't fulfill the mission entrusted by my lord, but fortunately, Natalia gained something and invited her talented sister Isabel." ”

"A female trap warlock? It's rare, Leonid, and tell me honestly, how does this lady's talent in mechanics compare to yours? Konstantin asked with interest.

Leonid hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "Although she still seems a little immature, she has great potential, if she is provided with an environment for full growth and exercise, when she reaches my age, her achievements should not be worse than mine." ”

"That's good! My dear Leonid, you know that I like talented young people the most, and this lady is entrusted to you to be trained, and I am sure that it will be of great help to you in your work. ”

"I hope so, too, but ......," Leonid said, "Isabel is like her older sister, with a strong personality......"

"Huh? Are you saying that little girl refuses to serve me? Konstantin's voice turned cold.

"She's just a little confused, but don't worry, Natalia and I will do our best to convince her!" Leonid tried his best to neutralize Konstantin's anger, otherwise he could not imagine how Isabel would be tortured.

Although Konstantin is still polite to him now, Leonid has witnessed more than once over the years that this demon king has killed those who have lost their use value or refuse to be used by him, and the bloody cruelty of the means has made him fully aware of a cruel reality in addition to fear: the devil is the devil, hypocrisy to the bones, all he says is love, all he thinks about is profit, he is polite and kind when he is in person, and he will kill them all without mercy when he turns his face.

"Then you have to hurry, Leonid, according to our original agreement, after tonight, if you still can't convince the Miss Trapwarlock, I will have the right to dispose of her body and soul myself." Konstantin said lightly.
