Chapter 136: The Shadow of the Tower
On a dim street corner in the civilian area of the royal capital, two five or six-year-old children in tattered clothes were running and playing, when suddenly a magic circle formed by runes shone on the ground. This sight, which they had never seen before, aroused their curiosity. Two children came over to watch, one of them couldn't help but reach out and touch the rune, at this time the brilliant rune connected into a circular magic circle, and then a powerful air flow sprayed out of the formation, directly throwing the two children out, one child fell to the ground and cried loudly, and the other head hit the wall, fainted, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The light of the teleportation magic dissipated, and it was Master Kona and Lorenzo who appeared. Their expressions were very nervous, each still making spell casting gestures, one second they were still on the battlefield of the Sage, trying to cast spells to fight, and the next second they were already standing in the alleys of the royal capital.
Master Kona saw the child sitting on the ground crying, and with a wave of his hand, the child fell unconscious. He looked around and said, "This is the royal capital civilian area. ”
"In the end, it is a saint who can teleport so accurately in a hurry. I just don't know how the battle will develop over there. Lorenzo said.
"You don't have to worry about that now. We split up, and I went to the Royal Magic Tower to find the others to support the Sage of Sasso. Don't go, go directly to the Chinese. Master Kona said.
"Chinese?"
"You heard what the Sage of Sasso said before, I'm afraid that the reappearance of the Seven Holy Pagodas will fall on the Chinese, and you, as the successor of the Fu Tower, should stand with them. Besides, if something really happens, you can just do it, and this is a good opportunity for you to reconcile with them. Master Kona said as he activated the teleportation circle on the bracelet, and his body was once again enveloped by the light of magic, and after a few moments, he disappeared into the alley.
Lorenzo glanced back at the bleeding unconscious child, walked over to him, crouched down, performed a healing spell to stop the bleeding on his head, and then took the hood of his mage's robe and walked across the river.

After Master Kona's teleportation ended, he appeared in his own room in the Tower of Alchemy. However, when he opened his eyes, there were actually two women in the room that should have been empty. One was a white-haired woman in a blue robe, exuding coldness all over her body. The other is a brown-haired woman in a white robe, giving people a very gentle feeling.
Master Kona asked, "Layla, Almeida, why are you in my room?" ”
A hint of hesitation appeared on the grim face of Master Layla of the Tower of Ice, and she glanced at Almeida, the master of the Tower of Healers beside her, and hinted at the other party with a look.
Almeida sighed and said, "Recently, during the days when you and the Sage of Sasso left, some accidents happened in the royal capital. The two of us would like to give you an explanation here. ”
Master Kona said, "The situation is very urgent, Benegas has attacked the Sage Sasso and me outside a ruin, and now we must mobilize men to help, there is no time to waste here. ”
"It's too late, the battle should be over long ago at this point. Not only Benegas, but also the Assassin of Light, Kyros, was there. Lord Benegas doesn't have a chance. And, you can't find anyone willing to go with you. Almeida had a bit of sadness on her face, which was associated with her gentle and holy temperament, and it was very compassionate.
Master Kona took out a wand from the storage ring and prepared for battle: "Almeida, you actually knew about this in advance! Did you participate in arranging this attack? Layla, you also know? What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Almeida raised her hands to indicate that she did not want to fight Kona, and she said softly: "After you left, Gibran, the golden branch priest of the Temple of Nature, secretly arrived in the royal capital, and he did not come empty-handed, but brought an oracle. ”
"Oracle, could it be that the god of nature has awakened in advance?" said Master Kona.
"No, but with the power of God, it shouldn't be very difficult to convey a message before awakening. Almeida said.
Kona said disdainfully: "Isn't it all said by that old god of Gibran?
"Because we saw the oracle, heard the oracle, and felt the power in the oracle. It was a power that was completely different from magic. Almeida said. She took out an image spar from her storage ring, "I brought this to convince you, so that you can witness the scene." ”
Almeida casts an image of the hedron on the wall, in a secret meeting room of the Magical Society, a group of mages surrounding an old man in priestly robes.
The old man was none other than the Golden Bough priest Gibran Sage. He pulled out a ball of light from his storage ring, and the mages around him let out an exclamation of amazement, and several of them even took several steps back. Even the person who was holding the image hedron couldn't help but take a step back.
"You don't feel the power of the oracle from here. But as soon as that light appeared, we felt an ancient and powerful coercion, a power that we had not felt even in the Sage. It makes it difficult for people to bring up the emotions of resistance, and it makes people think of the word surrender from the heart. Almeida explained for Kona.
"Yes. I was there, too, and I felt that if the consciousness in that cluster of light wanted to kill me, I wouldn't even have the will to resist. It was a terrible feeling, like being targeted by a cat all the time. No, it should be the feeling of a mouse being targeted by a dragon. Layla, who had been silent, said.
The light was not a steady source of light, but a flowing green stream. It kept changing, turning into a crystal green leaf for a while, a green flower for a while, and that change gave people an extremely mysterious feeling, making the mages present look at it intently.
"When I looked at this ball of light, I saw that there seemed to be some kind of rule in it, and all the other mages felt the same way, and we were unconsciously attracted to it. Almeida said.
Master Kona said disdainfully, "Hmph, it's just a trick of spiritual magic. This way of attracting attention is also the same way that the Tower of Alchemy will be. It's just that you are all frightened by the name of God, and that's why it has this effect. ”
The light changed for a while, and finally an ethereal male voice came from within: "Whoever submits to me can hold power." Whoever turns away from me will be reduced to mortal dust. Even if I am as rebellious as a mage, I will give a chance. ”
