Chapter 178: Prosecution
Tarrant, do you understand what 'love' is?
No...... I don't understand, once I thought I was the guardian of love, but in fact I was just a coward in the name of 'love', useless, the wrong 'love' bound my mind, I lived up to the paladin halo given by Maxine.
Why do you think that?
For someone who 'loves' me with her life, truly noble and pure, her heart is full of kindness, holiness and radiance.
The world in front of him gradually became clearer, and out of chaos, Tarrant saw several vague figures, and his limp body needed to immediately enter the battle mode to protect Catrina from leaving!
"Tarrant, where are you from?" a familiar voice said, full of surprise, Malcan.
Tarrant regained consciousness, this is the top floor of the Aurora Tower, the cluttered desk that night has now been cleaned up, the big mirror in the middle is still abruptly erected, the crystal ball is set up next to the mirror, the window of the tower hangs a huge bunting, is it a celebration bunting? The sun is shining on the stone slab on the top floor, the drums are playing, there is a drum band under the tower, when is it now? How long has he been in the crystal ball?
"Why are you two here? Who sent you here?" asked Malken again, "the tower is under martial law, and you can't stay here." ”
Tarrant saw the others, Xiuzo, Hammond, a young man dressed in the same officer armor as Hammond and Malken, and a man in a battle robe...... It was Prince Edcht, the king's younger brother, the supreme commander of the army! Prince Edscht had been through countless battles, and his eyes were sharp and sharp, exuding the majesty of a king.
The young man immediately stood in front of the prince's right, on guard.
Tarrant put away his sword, and Katrina lowered her staff, and the posture of the two looked suspicious to several of the Supreme Commanders.
Xiuzo reported to the prince, "It's Tarrant and Katrina, and the two of them have been assisting me in some secret matters. ”
"Let the adventurers assist the royal guards?" the Prince's voice was a little old but still firm, "Dear Captain of the Guard, you should use your own abilities to solve problems, every difficulty and danger is an experience. Don't be afraid of them, because they are the ones that make you stronger, too strong to be defeated. ”
"Yes!" Xiuzo lowered his head.
"So," the prince motioned to the young man beside him to stand aside. "Why are you two here? Do you know what this occasion means? Teleported at the inauguration of the Aurora Tower, the vigilantes and the royal guards can execute you at any time. ”
It's the inauguration!Catch up!Tarrant salutes, "The mission of the Ancient Wizards is not complete yet!The last remaining wizard of the Ancient is not Shar Shlevin but Nicole!The lion is slandered!" He seized every second to reveal the truth and stop Nicole!
"Nicole?!" Shuzo took a step forward, his gaze past Tarrant.
Tarrant turned his head. The top mage was standing behind him, smiling and braiding, "Be careful!" Tarrant dragged Catalina behind him.
"Not Shalsh Leving?" said Malken, who seemed suspicious, "we're searching for her all over the city." ”
Will Nicole make a move now?Her plan reached a critical moment, Tarrant stared at Nicole's face tightly, "We found out about her plan after you left, she imprisoned us in a crystal ball, there is no doubt that Nicole is the Crystal Heart, Sal Shlevin is innocent, the scapegoat in Nicole's plan." ”
Malcoln did not choose a side. "Didn't you leave that night? Nicole, what did you do?"
Nicole seemed to hold back a smile, "Mr. Paladin, I don't know anything about what you're saying, I hope it's not a boring joke, the celebration is about to begin, and you and the Academy's mage lady should leave here immediately before the king arrives." In fact, it was already a felony to use teleportation to appear next to the Prince. ”
"Nicole, you've failed". Katrina poked her head out, "Maybe you're one step away from immortality, but now is the time for you to decay." ”
"They didn't come by teleportation," the young man said. "It's some kind of magic disengagement", apparently he's discovered the heresy, and there's no reason for the Empire's top mages to mistake the different magic feedbacks of teleportation and discancellation.
Shuzo followed behind the Prince, and Prince Edschit spread his hands, "Tarrant has made a serious accusation, which is an internal matter of the Royal Guard. As the commander of the army, I have no right to ask, Captain of the Guard, you decide. ”
"Yes!" Xiuzo looked directly at Nicole, who needed an opportunity like this one, "For security reasons, both Nicole and Tarrant will be investigated immediately and put down their weapons." ”
It's the safest way, Tarrant put away his sword, "I'm under investigation. ”
"It's not fair," Nicole took a slight breath, "I'm the designer of the Aurora Tower, and I have to attend today's inauguration celebration." ”
Malken said, "Nicole, you should follow the orders of the highest commander of the guard. ”
"No, the king will definitely reward me here, I can't leave", Nicole's eyes swept over everyone, "The glory is mine." ”
She couldn't possibly fight everyone present at the same time, Tarrant couldn't guess Nicole's next move, what would this clever guy do?
Hammond stopped to Nicole's right.
Katrina pointed to the crystal ball in front of the mirror, "That's the best evidence, it'...... Kira Veton and Langare!
Tarrant snapped left and right, "Kira Vedon!"
"Is the pastor there, just the two of you?" replied Malken.
"How do you get them out!" Tarrant almost snarled at Nicole.
"I don't know anything about what you're saying", Nicole casually looked at the crystal ball, "Utter slander, who made you do this?" she glanced at Xiuzuo, "It's not time to purge the royal guards, I'm willing to be investigated after the celebration, the facts will prove that this is just a farce, and the mastermind behind the scenes will lose a single qiē", Nicole deliberately looked at Xiuzuo's three subordinates, "The choice at this time will affect the future path." ”
Xiuzo pointed to the crystal ball, "Holis, check the crystal ball." ”
The young man walked over to the crystal ball and carefully picked it up, "It's a magic item,......
"Of course there's magical energy," Nicole said, smiling, "it's the pinnacle of crystal ball making." ”
"Inspect the metal components on the side of the wall," Tarrant pointed around, "and their role is directly related to the use of the crystal ball. ”
"That's the secret of the Aurora Tower, you've seen the drawings," Nicole calmly resolved every doubt, "They can gather energy, but they have nothing to do with the crystal ball, and the entire magic system will be safer when it starts working." ”
Downstairs, the drum band played in unison again, and the king would appear in the square of the fortress area after the song called Return of Glory ended, with a few minutes left.
"Nicole must be taken out of this tower", Tarrant was sure.
Hammond walked slowly over to Nicole, holding two swords in both hands, and no one noticed when he drew them.
"Nicole, this is your last chance", Xiuzuo's eyes had already given the order, Holis put down the crystal ball and cast a spell to prepare.
"The repeated offenses have touched my bottom line", Nicole's index finger repeatedly ran around the braids in front of her forehead, "Xiuzo, come on, don't argue uselessly, I wanted to keep you a decent image, and now it seems that we need a result between us immediately." ”
Poof, a slight abnormal sound, tugged at everyone's tense nerves.
Catrina whispered in Tarrant's ear, "A crystal ball?"
"You ......" Nicole looked panicked, her full attention shifted to the crystal ball, and a faint white energy was collapsing from the orb, "What did you do? )
