Chapter 258: Strength Supremacy (Lower)
"This is the end of the fighting, and our current situation does not seem to be suitable for infighting, although those people are gone now, but it is not very safe here after all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Marco explained to Alice, and then, returning to the group with Gna, giving orders to the trio, let the three leave with their respective men.
"Miss Alice, I don't know what your plans are, since Ax hasn't come out yet, you can't wait here all the time, I don't know if you're interested in going up and taking a look with us, after all, there are still a lot of good things in the city in the clouds, and those guys who are dressed as pretentious justice don't have the strength to fully control the city in the clouds now, let's just see if we can get some windfalls."
Alice looked down and thought about it, and realized that she really didn't have anything to do right now, so she nodded and agreed to Marco's proposal.
Since the fall of the city in the clouds, of course, the movement is not small, although this is a remote corner, usually no one comes, but, such a big movement, can be heard from a distance, so, some people who have adventured in the wild have also entered the interior of the city in the clouds, soon, Alice and Marco and others saw one, but when they saw it, it was already a corpse, from the body temperature that was still warm, the person died obviously not long ago, and there were multiple knife wounds on the body, Apparently killed after being tortured.
"It's really a pervert, after losing, he actually kills people for fun." Alice didn't complain about the corpse, she just looked down on Gna for who he was.
Marco didn't say anything, strength is respected here, since this man is dead, it means that he is not self-sufficient and has come here to take risks. Of course, if he could get out alive and get lucky enough to take some loot with him, then people would think he was bold and careful. So, what kind of ending, what kind of evaluation.
Alice followed Marco all the way, although she met a few foreign solo adventurers, and she didn't know if it was Alice's relationship, Marco was not embarrassed, and she didn't even grab what they found.
"You should have a map of the interior of the city in the clouds!" Alice asked Marco suddenly.
"There is one, but it is very vague, only the general area is marked, and as for how to get there, it is not marked at all." Marco said truthfully, "What, where do you want to go?" ā
"Conference room, do you know where it is?" Alice asked Marco.
"Conference room? What are you doing there? Marco was puzzled, if he wanted to find something, the best place was the warehouse, but Alice turned out to be the location of the conference room in the hall, which had to make Marco wonder. It's just that Marco looked at Alice suspiciously, and Alice just looked at him like that, and didn't mean to explain at all.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but when you get there, you'll have to tell me what you're looking for and what it's for." Marco said with a step back.
"No problem, even if I don't say it, you know what I want to do, and what I'm looking for won't be of much use to you." After Alice finished speaking, she walked straight forward, and Marco could only lead the way in front with doubts.
The meeting room of the city in the clouds is the place where they hold meetings, so although there are no valuables there, it is still the most private location in the interior of the city in the clouds, after all, it is a place to discuss important matters, and if someone overhears any important news, the loss is no less than losing a warehouse. So, Marco took Alice all the way around and around, all thinking about the central location.
"This is it." Marco said, pointing to a large steel door.
Alice glanced at the closed door, then pushed hard, and under the sound of metal rubbing, the door slowly opened, and then, an oval-shaped conference table occupied half of the conference room, and on the surrounding walls, there were many portraits, all of which were the works of some masters, and it could be seen that those people were still very careful about the layout of this conference room, at least it looked serious but luxurious.
Alice didn't even glance at the priceless artworks, but stepped directly over the conference table and into the inner hollow area of the conference table, where a stone platform was constantly burning, but strangely enough, no fuel was to be seen anywhere.
"Your target is this stone platform? What is he and what is the use? When Marco saw Alice walking directly to the stone platform, he took a closer look, but unfortunately, he found nothing, and there was nothing special about it other than the fact that there was no fuel. And the lack of fuel is also easy to solve, as long as there are enough runes, it is very easy to make a magic circle that constantly breathes fire, but since Alice cares so much about this stone platform, it means that this stone platform is definitely not as simple as a small magic circle.
"You'll find out in a moment, or do you want it too?" Alice turned to Marco and asked, as if Alice would give it to Marco as soon as he nodded.
"No need, you better hurry up, we have to go somewhere else." Mark eventually refused, because he really didn't see anything special about the pillar.
"Since you don't want it, then I'm welcome." With that, Alice took a deep breath, and then stretched her hands forward together until they were deep into the flames burning on the stone pillar.
"Is it the flame that is precious?" Marco couldn't help but think when he saw Alice's actions, but he still couldn't see anything special, the flame on the stone pillar was also an ordinary flame, in terms of temperature, it was equivalent to the temperature of wood burning, and there was nothing special ****** Lis's hands were not burned after reaching into the flames, and this was not strange, because of this level of flame, Marco would not have anything to do if he put his hand into it. However, when Marco notices the two eye tattoos on Alice's hands, he finally realizes what is different. In the eye tattoos of Alice's hands, it was as if a flame had risen from her pupils, and it was still swaying in the wind. But the flames above the stone pillar were getting smaller and smaller, as if they had all run into the tattoos on Alice's hands.
Of course, Marco knows that the tattoos on Alice's hands are not just tattoos, but can be turned into two pistols to help Alice fight, and most of Alice's strength comes from those two pistols, because Alice's body does not have any rune energy, that is, Alice completely relies on the energy of those two pistols to fight, which is why Marco asked Gnar to test her before. If Alice is just a vase without any strength, even if there is a relationship with Aix, he will not take Alice with him, he will only let her stay where she is and fend for herself, and he will never recognize her as his companion for those who do not have strength.
