Unlike the puppet workshop, which is unattended, the dormitory of the Special Services Support Division is busy at this time. For some reason, the support department, which was already very busy, suddenly increased by 30% in the last two days, so that the commission that was originally done by four people had to be divided into four people, and the investigation of the silver and the threatening letter couldn't help but drag on a lot Now I can only take the opportunity to investigate it in my spare time, but this progress is really not flattering. Today, however, there is something unusual.

"Have you found the address of the threatening letter sent to your terminal?" Ike, who was hurriedly called to the support section by Theo, was a little surprised, "It's not strange that Theo can find out the location, but he also sent it to your terminal system?" ”

"That's right." Lloyd replied, "But we went looking and found that the address was the headquarters of the IBC. But after investigation, this was discovered. With that, Lloyd pulled out a silver card from his pocket.

"What is this?" Ike took the card and looked at it, there were two lines of small letters engraved on the card, which stood out on the card.

"Now that the door has been opened, head to the Tower of Stars and fulfill my wishes."

"This is... Invitations? Ike asked, looking up at Lloyd.

"We think so." Lloyd nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

"To be honest, we'd love to go, but because the Guerrilla Guild has recently closed, work has been piling up here, and we really don't have time to get to the bottom of it, so we'd like to ask Ike for you." Lloyd replied honestly.

"Hmm—is it the Tower of Stars in the suburbs?" Ike frowned and thought for a moment, "To be honest, I'm really worried that you guys are going to face that silver, not to mention Randy, you're just a novice now, I don't want Theo to be in danger... Well, I promised you. Ike thought twice and nodded, "But I need at least one person to accompany me, after all, I don't know the whole story, and I need one of you to come and help." Which of you is coming? ”

Lloyd looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Ellie raised her hand, "Then I'll take it, and I'm the only one who can replace the job in our house." ”

"Huh? What about Theo? And Randy? Ike was a little surprised.

"IBC asked me to help with the repair and renovation of the terminal." Theo replied with a slightly bitter face.

"It seems that because the terminal was hacked and the staff didn't notice it, President Croess was so angry that he had to invite Theo over to help." Lloyd explained with a wry smile. "Randy's words...

"I was invited by the command to pass." Randy also smiled wryly, "I owe the commander a lot of favors, I can't help it." ”

"Hey, those idiots should be fired. I heard that their wages are quite high. Ike smiled disdainfully and got up from the couch, "In that case, then hurry up." How long have you been getting this card? ”

"We'll let you know as soon as we get back, it's been less than two hours."

"Really? Then without further ado, let's go. Ike greeted Ellie and walked out of the support section first.

。。。。。。

On the way to the Tower of Stars, the two of them hurried unhurriedly, because of Ellie's relationship, Ike was never able to hurry quickly. But that's fine, if the opponent is really the legendary silver, it's not a good way to waste his physical strength now, and since he has written a letter, he must not miss the appointment. If even the legendary killer had missed the appointment, then his sign would probably no longer exist.

"By the way, Ike, what about Rei?" Ellie, who hadn't spoken much along the way, suddenly asked.

"Huh? Ling's words made her go to the other side to help. After all, there's nothing going on here, and I prefer her as a support to the battlefield rather than the battlefield. ”

"Are you afraid she'll get hurt?"

"It's one thing, but the important thing is that if I have Ling's support, I can rest assured that the problem will follow." Ike shrugged, "Wait, if you really want to fight, you have to make sure to stand behind me, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety." ”

"Are you underestimating me?" Ellie frowned dissatisfied.

"It's not to underestimate you, it's that you think too highly of yourself." Ike replied, "I don't know what difficulties you've faced in your work, but you're still too weak. Except for Athio. Now you guys, Ling can deal with it alone... Maybe Randy is in trouble. ”

"I've wanted to ask for a long time, are you familiar with Randy?" Ellie asked curiously.

"It's not familiar, it's just that I've encountered it on the battlefield. He wasn't like he was now. Since he doesn't want to say it, don't ask, it's not good for your relationship with him. ”

I have to say that Ellie is a good interlocutor, this girl can keenly grasp what the interlocutor does not want to say and what he wants to say, as well as hobbies, etc., so as to inquire about the information she wants. Although I met Ike, I was still able to have a good conversation, and from this point alone, as long as there is an opportunity to learn, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not become another "Thousand Wrists" in the future.

"What's going on?"

While chatting, the two of them unconsciously came to the Tower of the Stars, and there were several fences placed in front of the tower gate to warn others to enter, and there was a police armored car next to it, and a woman in military uniform was surveying something in front of the tower.

"Ah, that man." Ellie was a little surprised and said, "I think it was... Sergeant Noelle?! ”

The policewoman who heard someone shouting turned her head in some surprise and looked at the two Ike who were walking towards her, "I remember you are Miss Ellie from the Support Division, right?" And this one is ... ”

"Ah, he's Ike, Tio's family, and we've asked him to help." Ellie hurriedly explained. “

"Theo is the little girl, isn't she?" Noelle nodded as if understanding, and then looked at the two of them a little strangely, "You two are here... Appointment? ”

"No, it won't!" Ellie's face turned red instantly, and she grabbed the right to speak and hurriedly discerned.

"I see, I'm sorry." Sergeant Noelle apologized repeatedly, "Because people don't usually come to this kind of place." All of them are a little curious. I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"But then again, what are these barricades?" Ellie asked, looking strangely at the barricade behind Noelle.

"Well, it looks like it was vandalized." Noelle sighed. "Originally, because the tower was dangerous, all the guards sealed it off. I also happened to find it on the way to my regular patrols. According to you, then the prisoner is probably the killer 'Silver' you call ... Wait, do you two want to... ”

"We want to go up and have a look." Ellie replied.

"It's too dangerous!" Noelle said solemnly, "Why don't you go and ask the headquarters for help?" And Randy-senpai and Mr. Lloyd aren't there? ”

"They have their business to do, and if they call for help, if they alarm Silver, maybe he will run away." "The best thing to do is to act in small units. ”

"This, this... It seems to make sense. But... ”

"Don't worry about Miss Noelle, Ike here is very strong, even if it's silver, it will be fine." Ellie explained, "We, and we're in a hurry to ask for the hell right now. ”

“。。。 Understood, since that's the case, I won't stop the two of you. After thinking for a moment, Noelle nodded, "But... Please let me live with the two of you! ”

"Huh? Huh? ”

"Because, the management of this tower is also in the hands of the Crossbell guard. You can't just let the two of you go to the risk. ”

"Is that so?" Ellie looked at Ike inquiringly.

"I don't care, it's just that there is one thing, you just don't mess around in there. If you're an army, you should understand the importance of following orders. Ike glanced at Noelle.

"Yes!" Noelle habitually gave a military salute: "Then please take care of the two of you!" ”

Pushing through the damaged barricades, the trio walked through the gate. Different from the plain outside, the interior of the Tower of Hoshimi is pitch black due to the thick stone wall blocking the sunlight, but in the middle of the small courtyard on each floor, the lighting equipment similar to the guiding lamp rotates in an orderly manner, and the bright lights shine in the tower, which is particularly beautiful after the reflection of the suspended dust in the tower and the light of the fireflies.

"It's beautiful, it looks like a medieval building." Ellie sighed. "That's a firefly?"

"It seems that this tower has been on hold for almost a decade since it was blocked. Although I always thought that I needed to do another investigation. Noelle sighed slightly.

"Be careful." Ike stood in front with some solemnity, blocking the two of them behind.

"What's wrong?" Ellie wondered.

"The property of this place... Not only the earth, wind, water, fire, but other superior attributes are also influencing this place. Logically speaking, in the real plane that belongs to the lower plane, it is difficult for the superior attribute to exist, and it seems that the appearance of the law can be distorted here. ”

"Does this mean that high-level magic can be easily used here?" Ellie immediately got to the point.

"Be careful! Here it comes! Ike shouted, and from the corridor, two monsters in huge armor approached. The sound of metal grinding against the stone slab made a screeching sound, and he swung his greatsword. Rushing towards Ike with a fierce momentum.
