Looking at the White Pagoda - the star of civilization, the hope of mankind, the pride of reason.

Suze can directly enter the White Tower from the north, and the territory of the White Tower can be entered by walking southeast from Fararuo, but if you want to enter the White Tower from Karar, there is only one way.

Although Carraar envelops Fararo like a flat crescent, it is actually only the arc of the lower half of the White Tower.

The City of Fortune is already very close to the White Tower. Even with the footsteps of a bad horse, you can reach it in two days by walking east from the City of Wealth.

However, Roland had to go north to find Claudia before, and if he didn't want to cross the border of Fararow when he went east, he had to go around to the south.

But even so, it only took three days for the four of them to walk, and they vaguely saw the phantom of the city.

Roland squinted at the city that appeared in the distance, and there was a slight nostalgia in his eyes.

"White Tower, ......"

I am back.

The second half of the sentence was gently chewed by Roland and swallowed back into his stomach.

This is the City of the Iron Curtain.

It is different from the average person's perception of the White Tower. It wasn't a city that was so magnificent, it was like paradise.

On the contrary, gray smoke kept drifting out of the city, condensing into the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds a dark color.

No, to be precise, there are no clouds in the sky.

From a distance, it's not just that there are no clouds above the city. Even the clouds of the surrounding city seemed to retreat in fear, and around the gray fog that covered the Iron Curtain like a gray-black pudding, it was a large area of cloudless blue that was terrifyingly blue.

“…… This is the White Tower? ”

Claudia's tone was full of disbelief.

In any wizarding education she could receive. It is mentioned that the White Tower is a paradise for shamans.

Now, what kind of heaven is this? It's almost like hell!

"Ah...... This is a polluted area. It would be nice to go a little further......"

Being watched by Claudia, Anruos felt the stinging and itching of the soles of her feet. His right hand holding the cane unconsciously exerted force, and his left hand was also clenched into a fist, rubbing constantly.

It's not that he has any weakness in his heart. The main thing is that Claudia's current power is simply terrifying.

It's a sensation that makes you feel a tingling sensation in your skin just by approaching it.

If that's all there is to it, then she's just going to annoy people.

But Claudia's temperament changed at the same time. From that gentle harmlessness and kindness to another—more in line with the sanity and mystery of a wizard.

If Claudia used to feel like a gemstone ring, now it feels like a knotted staff studded with amethysts—

Forgive Ann Ruosi for only thinking of this type of metaphor.

To put it simply, the same beauty, but from harmless charm to another kind of intoxicating danger.

After Roland wakes Claudia up and informs her that Cruvien is dead, Claudia seems to be a different person in an instant.

In addition to being soft in front of Roland and gentle in front of Anros. Anyone who sees her can't help but shudder.

"Alright, Claudia, calm down."

Roland switched his right cane to his left, took two steps back, and wrapped his right hand around Claudia's back and gently pressed her shoulder.

Then Roland leaned into Claudia's ear and whispered, "My Holy Maiden, you are out of control again. ”

Claudia realized her gaffe, slowed her pace, took a deep breath, and then flashed a perfect smile at Roland: "Then I'm adjusted now." My Pope, can you let me go? ”

"If you want."

Roland shrugged his shoulders and took his right hand down, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

If Ann Ruosi is familiar. He would know that this temperament is unique to the undead.

Of course, Claudia is not an undead.

Claudia's injuries from being thrown out with a shield by Kruvien were far worse than Roland had imagined.

She had five broken breastbones. The knee of his right leg was fractured, and his right arm was directly broken into sections. The shoulder joint also fell off, and a broken bone in the right arm also pierced the artery. There are two bone spurs in the chest that pierce the lungs.

However, even with such an injury, Claudia survived for half an hour and did not die, and finally waited for Roland to perform an injury-free chant on her.

Roland knew that Claudia was already dead.

If Roland had been able to find out her stats at that time, he would have found that her health had gone to zero.

But because of the mercy of the Sleeping Mentor, she didn't let the laws of the Aum Wall take her soul, so she could wait until Anros carried her to Roland and receive treatment from the harmless chant.

If it had been a little longer—not more, as long as Claudia hadn't been resurrected before the sun went down, she would have become an undead.

It's not hard to do that.

Roland had been faced with a choice when he was in the basement.

If he hadn't given up on cultivating the plague that was effective against the people of Dusk before the White Tower collapsed, Roland would have found a way to collect the body parts of that pyroxene species in preparation for his own cultivation of humans mixed with the blood of Dusk.

After that, Roland would disassemble the machines to see if there were any remnants of the Radiant Blood's raw materials.

Although Roland knew, the result would not be eighty percent.

You know, it takes a long time to drink the blood of Radiant until it mutates, otherwise there would be no reason for Singya to wait so long to find this army.

The biggest reason why Roland entered Singia's tavern before and saw Hell on Earth descending directly in front of him was that someone had mixed their glow blood with demonized glow blood made from the blood of the Dusk Dependents.

That kind of blood, which was full of chaotic magic, even these people who usually drank the blood of the glow couldn't bear it, and mutated in front of Roland one by one.

Looking back now, Roland thought that the person who had polluted all the glow blood by throwing the pyroxene seed into the pumping chamber and induced the mutation of these drinkers was most likely the "Edward".

- However, if Roland had investigated the machines at the time, the result would have been that Claudia's side would not have seen Roland until dark, and eventually died and resurrected as an undead.

In the case that Claudia and Roland are not on the same line, Roland will attract the hatred of the crow, and the greatest possibility is death.

Arguably, that was a crucial choice.

On the other hand, for Claudia, this near-death experience was extremely important.

This time of experience succeeded in causing her best friend to die in front of her eyes to protect herself, and Claudia received the trait of cruel thinking, as well as one of the most important traits of the priest of the Eternal Sleeping Mentor - "Death Experience".

Death Experience (Personal Characteristics)

Effect: All Divine Spells involving the Death Domain you cast will receive a 50% bonus in effect and success rate; You are no longer affected by prophecy spells.

- I came from the country of death, and my past life was dust.

The fact that there are so many 65 to 80 percent success rates on the list of Death Raven spells is to emphasize how important this trait is to Death Raven.

A crow that has not died once cannot be regarded as a real crow.

Thinking of this, Roland glanced back at Joseph, who was walking silently behind, and raised an eyebrow.

…… Of course, Roland did not want Claudia to be a martyr compared to the less perfect Death Raven.

"Roland, where is this?"

At this moment, Claudia turned to Roland and asked.

The temperament on her body was put away again. Turned back to normal.

"This city is called Iron Curtain."

Roland replied.

"You know, wizard-made gadgets are too dangerous compared to the useless but safe toys of alchemists."

"Not to mention use, even if it is destroyed, if it is not properly disposed of, it will cause a large-scale disaster."

"In the beginning, this city was because someone destroyed a large number of enchanted items, which caused the nearby Aum law to be disturbed, and even opened the spatial rift leading to the underground......"

"Underground? Underground, you say?! ”

Claudia exclaimed.

“…… Yes, it's that underground. ”

An Ruosi took Roland's words, his eyes full of fear: "So the city was undoubtedly destroyed. ”

So, after killing or capturing the underground species, the wizards spent a lot of effort to smooth out the chaotic laws here. Then, after research and discussion, they decided on such a thing-"

"In order to ensure that the mana defined by Aum's Law does not leak and cause greater contamination, damaged enchanted items must be destroyed, but only in the trait's furnace. However, because the power of the furnace is not enough, the tainted mana will still escape in the form of mana dust. ”

"These mana dust aren't a good thing. Whether it's prolonged contact or breathing, it will bring order to flesh and blood—in short, to stone. ”

Roland did not hide the disdain in his tone: "Claudia, if you look closely, you will find that the people who come in and out of this city are either tightly wrapped, or they look sluggish and stiff ...... limbs."

“…… But why here? ”

"It's very simple," Roland replied as a matter of course, "of course it's because this place has been destroyed by the underground race once, and it's worthless." ”

"This young lady is right."

Before Claudia could respond, a young man's voice came from behind them. (To be continued......)
