Chapter 1728: Hunting for the Shadow (24)

"Is this ......?" a drop of sweat broke out of Albert's forehead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lifts. Mutt gave the tiger a blank look: "This thing has been waiting for us to ride on the first floor from the beginning, and you are stupid enough to climb so many flights of stairs." I wondered why Luff's mother was able to go up to the top of the tower because she didn't take the stairs at all. ＂

"Wait, your statement is illogical. When Albert walked into the elevator, he couldn't help but complain, "How did you know that Luff's mother ran to the top of the tower?"

"There's no sign of her anywhere?" Mutter also walked into the elevator and looked around, "How does this thing work?"

They didn't have to operate the elevator at all, the elevator moved on its own, all the way up to the top of the Tower of the Guardians.

"No, it's not reasonable, you seem to have known for a long time that Ruw's mother would be coming to this tower, and that her destination was at the top of the tower. Albert looked at the cat-man boy with a suspicious face, "Luffy knows something, right? You inherited some of his memories, so you know what meows?"

Mutter was stunned. However, when he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything, maybe it was just intuition, or maybe he did know something from Luff's memory, but the process of remembering it all was too natural, like a survival instinct like eating and sleeping, and it was natural to remember it when it was needed, so the reason for this, Mutter couldn't tell at all.

"Luffy's mom must have something to do with this tower, I'm sure of that. Mutt shrugged: "What the hell is going on, won't we know when we get to the top of the tower?"

"Okay------" Seeing that he couldn't ask anything from Muth, the tiger gave up asking. Perhaps, when they reach the top of the tower, all problems will be solved.

The elevator goes up much faster than climbing the stairs with your feet, although it's still unbearably slow. By the time it reached the top of the Guardian Tower, the handrails had not yet been opened, and the elevator had not yet fully docked with the staircase, and Albert did a somersault and ran out in a hurry.

"Wait for me!" Mutter followed, flying out of the elevator platform with his rubbery arms that he could extend. At the end of the spiral staircase of the tower is a door that leads to the outer platform at the top of the Tower of the Guardians. The tiger man slammed the door and shouted, "Auntie, Luffy's mother?"

There was no answer. The outer perimeter of the tower was still dark, and the surroundings were barely illuminated by the light of the stars and moon.

Albert lit the "torch" again------ flame resin smeared on his weapon and glowed with fire------ he lit his torch everywhere, trying to find Luffy's mother, who might have fallen to the ground on the large ring platform at the top of the tower.

"Wow------" Mutt lit a torch as well. Because the altitude at the top of the tower was quite high, and the wind around him was also very strong, the cat man boy was almost burned by the flame of pine resin on the dagger, and he quickly changed his posture to take the dagger, so that the whole dagger was raised upward. Albert and Mutter split up, and the two of them walked clockwise and counterclockwise on the circular platform at the top of the tower, and found that there was an upward staircase.

The staircase led to a small glass-enclosed room at the top of the tower, which seemed to contain the wonderful glowing white crystal. Of course, the crystal no longer glows at this moment, but its crystal clear surface reflects the light of the surrounding stars and moon, and even a little fire on the torch. This crystal clear reflection in the darkness should have been as beautiful as a kaleidoscope, but at this moment it made Albert and them feel very ominous.

If Luffy's mother wasn't found anywhere, she must be in that little room. ------ Albert and Mutter exchanged glances and walked towards the small room at the top of the tower.

In the darkness of the room, in the silence, Albert saw a woman lying on the floor.

But that's not all.

Behind the cat-people woman, on the huge crystal that no longer glows, something floated.

The faint black shadow, if I was to say it, the black thing seemed to have the form of a dragon as tall as a tower, but it was also as erratic as a mirage. It was making alarmist gestures to Albert and Mutter as they broke into the room, as if the two of them would attack if they took one step closer.

"Stay behind me!" Albert shielded the cat-man boy with his body, while he held the weapon in his hand, allowing the flame pine resin smeared on the Black Moon God's steel scimitar to project the fire more efficiently at its target.

The shadow flinched a little from the fire, fearing the fire. However, it also shrank into deeper darkness, making it even harder for Albert to see its form.

If they can't even see the opponent's actions clearly, then Albert and they can't even dodge the opponent's attack. Fortunately, the monster was afraid of light, and it didn't dare to attack it now. Albert: Their top priority, of course, is to light up the surroundings!

If you want to light up this place, there are actually many means besides igniting. But after all, this is a relic left by ancient people, and the Tower of the Guardian is even tasked with protecting the city of Melson Stone from the invasion of demonic beasts, and Albert plans not to mess around in such a place as much as possible, so as not to destroy any important facilities or equipment on the top of the tower.

------ let's light this place up in a gentler way for now.

"Mutter, make the fire brighter. Albert pulled out a bag of pine resin powder and let the cat boy use it.

"Do I look like I've got more weapons or torches with me?" said Mutter angrily, the small dagger he held in his hand was already smeared with flame pine resin and glowing. The flames almost burned the kitten paws of the cat-man boy through the hilt of the sword. Mutt didn't have any other weapons on him, so where did he have the spare time to smear anything else with flame pine resin?

What's more, the room at the top of this tower is quite large, and even if two or three more torches are added, it will not help at all.

"I'm improvising, stupid. With that, Albert drew another weapon from his waist ------ his Tempest Blade.

The surface of the spear blade was not coated with dragon incense, and it used up the magic of flame pine resin in time after it was smeared with pine resin, and even if Albert held two glowing blades in both hands, he might not be able to illuminate his surroundings very brightly. It's a pointless act to take this out, Mutter thought to himself.

------No, not at all.
