"But after this incident, I'd like to show you how much you've improved lately, Alex." The shadow said coldly:

"Look at what powerful hole cards you have to dare to talk to me like that!"

"Alright, let's get down to business."

A young man named J.K. came out to play a round:

"Rex is right, people aren't here for sightseeing; It's just that I'm not very good at breaking enchantments...... Mistress Keys, come on. ”

The short mage was about to say something, but he immediately shut up when he heard Keys' name.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, either in awe or in war, a figure in a black robe appeared in front of the tower, his left sleeve bulging as if something was hidden.

"Hehe, I'm not the best candidate."

Keith's laughter was still so weird:

"Let's let Hegens come, he should be the one of us who has the deepest knowledge of magical enchantments."

As soon as the words fell, a fat white man in a magic robe walked out of the crowd, came to the barrier without saying a word, and put his hand on it.

A faint yellow light emanated from the palm of his hand, and the surface of the barrier gradually became water-streaked, and he began to probe the composition of this protective light shield little by little.

"Oh no, if they come in, I'll be discovered!"

Natsu slowly retreated to the front of the Codex.

When I didn't know what to do, a bad idea popped into my head.

"These guys are already the great sages of the original empire, who can be their mentors?"

"The people out there are attacking Otvia, it can't be ......?"

She asked Erin to take out a folding billboard, set it up in front of the Codex, and then carved a few crooked words on it with her sword:

"Such a lineup, plus these great sages. Even if Dolinda and Bellerel become dragons now, they can't beat them! ”

"Then the only way to do it is to use a trick."

After the silver-haired girl finished writing, she ordered the artifact Lori to stay hidden behind the sign, and then came back to the staircase and used the divine power bestowed by Miret to unlock the red barrier on the 999th floor.

"If I can't beat you, I'll kill you!"

After laying the trap, she tiptoed away from the staircase. Unprotected from the bedroom, dodged in.

"Whew!" As soon as she entered, the two little dragons immediately pounced on her, licked her violently, and looked at her face with an aggrieved expression, showing a pitiful look.

"I'm so sorry to have left you here."

Xia comforted the two little princesses who had turned into dragons: "There are unimaginable dangers outside, even I can only hide in; You'd better stay here for now...... I'll let you out when I'm sure everything is safe. ”

"Dolinda."

She spoke to Dolinda alone:

"It's different from Bellerier. You are a real person, and don't forget...... There is still your sister waiting for you in that world, so don't put yourself in danger for boring reasons. ”

She was very impressed by Princess Tasia, and always felt that the relationship between the other party and Dolinda was very delicate, so she wondered if there was any strange bond between the two.

Hearing the word sister, Xiao Yinlong lowered his head silently.

"Woo-"

The little blue dragon that Bellerel turned into was still unrelenting, wrapping Natsu's body with two fleshy wings, as if he wanted her to change her mind.

"No! Stay here honestly. ”

The silver-haired girl's eyes widened.

I looked like I was going to get angry when I saw her. The little blue dragon shrank his neck and obediently fell back to the ground. Resting her head on Dorinda's back, she began to close her eyes there.

"Is Bellerier so obedient?"

Xia looked at her submissive appearance in surprise, not noticing a hint of cunning flashing in Xiaolong's eyes.

She settled the two little princesses of the empire, walked over to the inky crystal ball, reached out and touched it, and turned on the surveillance video according to the method Mireyer had taught her.

At this time, the great sages outside had successfully broken through the barrier of the tower. It seems that the guy named Hegens does have a set.

"Why is there no sound?"

Natsu noticed that the crystal ball was not so easy to use, and although he could monitor the situation inside the tower, he couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

“――！”

At this time, one of the sages found the Codex and walked over in surprise.

But he was quickly frightened by the sign, and hurriedly took a few steps back. looked at the words on the sign in disbelief.

"It's ugly."

The man in the overcoat came to the sign with his hat in his hand, and you can see what he said from the shape of his mouth:

"If it had been written by a woman, I would not have married her; I prefer women who are knowledgeable and skilled. ”

“%￥……&%&*”

The silver-haired girl secretly cursed in her stomach in an inexplicable language, and then saw Keith come to the sign.

"Oops, this guy looks very powerful, I guess I'm going to show my stuff."

Xia's heart lifted.

However, Keys's face covered by the black robe was expressionless, and he didn't know if he could see the flaw.

"Then let's take a look."

The young man named J.K. said to himself:

"If the road is clear, it's a trap, and we'll just go back."

"But if we get into any trouble, we can't go wrong, and the layer below must be hiding the giant's treasure!"

"You idiot, it's just a wooden sign made of aspen wood, think with your pig brain, when has there ever been a tree in the City of Stars?"

The short mage next to him didn't seem to like him very well, walked over and slapped the sign twice, and said mockingly:

"It's probably some kind of conspiracy...... Hey? He suddenly exclaimed, as the magic wand in his hand suddenly shone brightly.

"It's so full of elemental magic."

Tambell, the most skilled of the great sages in elemental magic, was pleasantly surprised to see this sight, stepped forward and pointed at the wooden sign with his staff, and shouted a spell:

"Mobana!"

The six cylinders at the top of the staff suddenly glowed with dazzling light at the same time, and after only a few seconds, all the elemental magic inside was activated, something that required nine chanting (a chanting mode of the Great Sage, twelve dans can be compared to forbidden spells) to do.

"It seems that I have lost my eyes, and this wooden sign is real."

The man in the overcoat touched his chin and said:

"I didn't expect the giant to have this kind of magic weapon that is more powerful than the elemental holy relic, if this thing is studied by Tamber for ten years, he will probably break through that bottleneck."

Hearing his words, the young man opened his mouth and seemed to have a different opinion.

But Keith next to him turned his head slightly, as if to warn about something, and he hurriedly closed his mouth again. (To be continued.) )
