Chapter Seventy-Two: The Dragonman's Tower
"Stop! It is forbidden to enter the city in the sky without a permit. "In front of the Sky City, there is a group of Imperial Knights stationed there, and their mission is to act as guards and not let anyone enter the Sky City without a permit.
Celia turned her head to look at Teiichi and Marina and said, "It's really blocked...... Why? ”
Huiyi said: "It's because you don't have a permit, can't you go in?" ”
Selia frowned and said, "I heard that the Great Magic Array built for Hutton Marr is overwhelming, and it is even linked to Sky City. So I want to go up to the castle in the sky and see it...... It's not clear at all below. Who knows how to enter the city in the sky? Let's find out. ”
Afterwards, the three of them went separately to the people around them, hoping to know the reason for the ban on entering and leaving the Sky City, and the method of entering the Sky City, that is, how to get a permit.
"Sir, do you know the reason why the Sky City is forbidden?" Celia finds a businessman-like man named Roger Levine.
Roger Levine was a big businessman who traveled all over the world to make a fortune by selling various materials or processing various basic materials.
Roger said, "The reason why Sky City is forbidden to enter and exit? Of course you do, do you want to go to the castle in the sky? ”
Celia asked, "Of course, I wonder if you can tell me the reason and how to enter Sky City." ”
Roger said, "The city in the sky is now guarded by the Imperial Army, but ...... Here it did not belong to the Empire, but to the territory of the principality. As long as the Queen's pass has been constructed, the Imperial Army will be released. ”
Celia asked, "How do I get a pass?" ”
Roger smiled and said, "Well, you have a vision when you come to me, but I'm a businessman and can't help for free." ”
Celia looked embarrassed.
Keiichi and Marina saw Celia talking to a man and didn't stop, thinking that Celia had found a way to enter Sky Castle, and the two walked over.
"Who are you?"
Keiichi said, "My name is Keiichi, and this is Marina. ”
"They are all my companions. ”
Roger looked at Teiichi and Marina, who were both dressed in the clothes of the priesthood, and looked like they were also adventurers, so he smiled again and said, "Do you think this is okay?" I will help you enter the Sky City, but only once, and you can't go too high. In fact, before you, I have already commissioned a person to explore the city in the sky, if you go with that person, the Imperial Army should give you permission, as long as any of your companions judge that your strength is worth continuing to trade, I will help you get the queen's pass, how about it? ”
Huiyi said: "No problem, I am still very confident in my strength. ”
Roger smiled, "Okay, please wait a minute, I'll go and call that person, I'm sure he'll be back soon." ”
Roger immediately sent for the companion, and in a few moments, a young man with short blond hair came over with a spear.
Roger said, "His name is Leno, and he used to be a magic spearman. ”
Born in the countryside of the Empire, Leno dreamed of knights and adventurers as a child.
Unexpectedly, the continuous famine years left Leno's family in debt, and in the end, he was forced to be a slave and used by the empire to make experiments in the magic spearman.
Not only the magic spear technique, but his overall martial arts are outstanding, known as - Shining Leno, so when he won the victory in the gladiatorial arena, he could choose to be a guest of honor by the nobles, and get a lifetime of glory and wealth, as well as freedom, the nobles persuaded him to stay by his side as a guard, but he refused one by one and resolutely chose freedom.
Although he was born as a slave, he can speak well and have a certain amount of knowledge. His personality is full of vitality, and most people can't guess his dark past.
He is tolerant of those who have nothing to do with the Empire, but he is not very sympathetic to the Juggernats who defeated Shylock.
Leno smiled: "Hello, you are just an adventurer who is going with me, my name is Leno." ”
Teiichi smiled and said, "My name is Teiichi, and this is my girlfriend, Marina." ”
Marina said, "Hello. ”
"Hello." "The Castle in the Sky is a very beautiful place, and the first time I went there, I was blown away by the scenery, but I didn't enter it at the time, but I believe that it is also full of dangers, and if you don't have the ability to fight, I advise you not to take risks, or at least wait until you get used to the castle in the sky." ”
Teiichi said, "No need, we're ready!" Celia, you're here, waiting. ”
Celia said, "Oh, I see, I'll wait for the adventurer to come back." ”
Leno smiled: "This is the best choice, then please go, Roger especially hates being late." ”
Then he glanced at Roger and left with Teiichi and Marina.
Leno's permit was there, and Keiichi and Marina also walked in smoothly.
Entering the city in the sky, the three of them have their weapons ready to welcome the monsters that suddenly appear.
The three of them found that there were no monsters on the first floor of Sky Castle and began to walk upstairs.
The Sky City is the passage connecting the Arad Continent to the Heavenly Realm, so it is in the shape of a round tower that reaches the sky, and the Sky City is towering into the clouds, and it is not visible at all what the end is.
This also proves how long it will take for Sky City to fight until the end, and Keiichi even feels that it may take several years to get to the Celestial Realm through here, and it will take a long time just to climb the stairs, and it is really troublesome to not have an elevator.
Walking to the second floor, the three of them suddenly discovered a very strange thing, that is, the smell, not the smell of blood, but the smell of rotting corpses!
From here, a long stretch of the ascent belongs to the "Dragonman's Tower".
Sky City was originally located in the Faro Bay area, but it is unknown when it was suddenly transferred to the seaside on the west side of the Duchy of Belmar.
The Castle in the Sky is a castle towering above the clouds. At the very top of the castle, you can see the sea of the sky.
It is said that this is the only passage from the Celestial Realm to the continent of Arad, and it is said that the Sea of Sky is not counted due to the fact that the survival rate is almost zero. But in fact, this is not the case, if Mo Wen was able to reach the Heavenly Realm through the Sea of Sky because of the Dark Eye's endless supply of infinite life, then how did the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm and Kelly come to the Arad Continent without any damage?
However, Sky City is indeed a gateway to the Celestial Realm, but it is not the only way.
However, since the reign of Bakar, there is no trace of the city in the sky. And here, naturally, there are Bakar's subordinates, Bakar is the Dragon Explosion King, so there are naturally dragons here.
And now, those dragons in Sky City have long evolved into dragonmen with human form!
Dragonmen have the sole goal of survival to hold on to their territory, and they blindly stand in the way of adventurers. In the face of these dragonmen, all civilized communication is in vain......
However, the three of them could only find the corpses of the dragonmen here, all of which had been burned to charcoal, burned alive, and some were even cut in half by the flames.
It was full of corpses, not a single living creature.
Continuing upstairs, it was no longer a corpse, but a broken corpse, Leno picked up a piece of meat, looked at it carefully, and said: "This is after being frozen by ice magic, the ice shattered and the corpse was also turned into pieces." ”
Marina asked, "Who the hell would be so cruel?" ”
"He's a very powerful magician, and I don't think he's as strong as I am," Leno said. ”
Teiichi asked, "Wouldn't it be two magicians?" An ice mage, a fire mage. ”
"It's possible, but if you're on a team, do you tell your teammates that everyone will take turns?" One floor per person. ”
Teiichi said, "Of course not, what if a teammate is in danger?" ”
"There's no trace of fire magic on the second floor, so I'm sure it's a magician, and if I'm right, the fourth floor should also have only one elemental damage," Leno said. ”
The three of them then went to the fourth floor, where there was only a black corpse lying on the ground, and nothing else was visible.
"Is this also a flame?" Teiichi asked.
Leno looked at the corpse and said, "I don't think so, because this is fundamentally different from the coke burned by the flames on the second floor, that is, there is no corpse, and it seems that there is still a remnant of magic power." ”
Leno touched the surface of a corpse, and the moment he touched it, a powerful electric current suddenly appeared visible to the naked eye, which directly paralyzed Leno's hand.
"Is this electricity?" Teiichi felt a little incredible.
Leno smiled: "It's a very powerful magician, and he's proficient in the three systems of fire, ice, and light, I don't know what will happen to the next layer." ”
Keiichi said, "Is there ever such a powerful magician around here?" ”
Leno said, "I don't know, I've never dealt with a magic guild or a magic school, so I don't know at all. ”
The three of them continued to walk upstairs, and the floor was even more disgusting than before.
There were broken corpses everywhere, blood stains were all over the ground, walls, and ceilings, and the small broken corpses and larger arms and heads were so terrifying that even Leno and Teiichi couldn't help but feel extremely disgusted, and Marina was about to vomit out of disgust from the smell of rotting corpses in the air. The corpses were all black, and the blood that flowed from the walls turned black, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was hell.
