"Squeak~Squeak~" As the three of them slowly advanced, the already rotten floor made an irritating sound.

"Na, I said Ai Lian, let's go back'~" Since entering the tower, Ai Yue has been chanting the same thing in Ai Lian's ear, and it seems that she is really scared.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, is it, Victoria. Eren didn't answer Ai Yue directly, but asked Victoria on the side.

"Hmph-" The blonde girl pulled back her long hair a little to keep them from dragging on the floor.

Compared to Elian, Victoria's mind was obviously more on her long hair.

The gloomy and gloomy tower was filled with a gray mist, probably because the dust produced by the people who had not been there for many years was scattered in the air, but in short, it gave Eren an eerie feeling.

Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak ~

From above Eren's head came the sound of the clockwork in the clock tower meshing. Even though it's a dilapidated clock tower that has been around for an unknown amount of time, it still makes this beautiful sound.

Eren stopped and turned her head slowly.

From behind the trio, there was the sound of light footsteps. The footsteps that make you feel that lightness may have come from a beautiful girl.

Although there were only two girls here, Victoria and Ai Yue, and both girls stopped.

The footsteps didn't go away.

"Apple~Apple~

What does the apple taste like~

Green apples~

What does a green apple taste like?

Red apples~

What does a red apple taste like?

Golden apples~

Why is there a red touch on the golden apple?"

The light girl's voice slowly sang an unknown ballad, and the dust in the tower danced as if a beautiful girl were dancing.

The girl's brisk dance is exactly what her loved one loves.

"Ai... Ai Yue, hiding behind Ai Lian, her little head buried in Ai Lian's back and shivering.

Instead of speaking, Eren closed his eyes and listened quietly to the staccato singing.

and enjoy the dance in front of you.

A flash of gold suddenly flashed through Elian's squinted eyes, and the golden light was fleeting.

The song faded with the light.

Everything returned to silence.

"It's all right, Ai Yue. Ai Lian patted Ai Yue's arm gently, although she looked thin, Ai Yue's arm was tightly wrapped around Ai Lian's chest, making Ai Lian almost suffocate because of this.

"That touch of gold... It's like I've seen it somewhere. Eren remembered the golden light, but didn't remember anything.

Forget it, maybe it's just the sun's rays.

——————————————————————————————

Just as the three of them stepped onto the second floor, what was waiting for them was a man.

A man with an eerie mask wrapped in a black robe.

"Good morning, immortal alchemist, Porthammer!" said Eren as he bent down to the man in front of him.

"Ahh

Although Victoria did not speak, she also grabbed the hem of Elian's clothes slightly, and hid her body slightly behind Elian.

"You ... You shouldn't have broken into my tower!" the black-robed man's voice couldn't tell the man or woman, and he couldn't tell the age.

"The one who trespasses into the Tower ... Die!"

After hearing the black-robed man's words, Ai Lian spread his arms slightly, protecting the two girls behind him, waiting for the man in front of him to make a move.

Eren believes that he can lift the ugly mask and see if the man in front of him is a human or a ghost before the other party knocks him down!

To Ai Lian's surprise, the black-robed man did not make a move, but looked at Ai Lian and the people behind him.

He said:

"The black-haired boy~ What is the relationship between you and this blonde girl? Are you a couple? Or are you a stranger you don't know?"

"I'm sorry, I got it all wrong, I'm friends with Victoria. Very good good friend!"

Elen's voice made Victoria dazed a little, friend? Is this a friend?

"Friends of the gray wolf?!hahahaha!"

The black-robed man burst out laughing, and the laughter resounded throughout the second floor of the tower.

"Gray wolf?" Ai Lian's mind turned, this was the second time he had heard this name, it was better to say that even the so-called alchemists knew the name of the gray wolf, which made Ai Lian a little surprised.

However, Ai Lian didn't say anything, but replied to the black-robed man in front of him with a serious expression.

Faced with Ai Lian's expression, the black-robed man stopped laughing, and the air suddenly became solidified.

Squeak ~ Squeak ~ Squeak ~

Only the sound of the tower's old clock clockwork echoed through the empty second floor.

"Gray wolves have no friends! The gray wolves who live in the mountains and forests are only their group, and the gray wolves who live in small towns are feared by the people. The only people who will approach the gray wolves are those who want to use their power!" the black-robed man suddenly shouted hysterically, and although he didn't quite know what he was talking about, Elian quietly took a few steps back with the two women.

The black-robed man's voice was filled with sadness.

After a moment, the black-robed man stopped shouting, and the strange mask on his face suddenly glowed green.

"Black-haired boy~ If you want to live, leave this tower and leave this town!"

Eren didn't answer, just stared at the black-robed man tightly. However, in the blink of an eye, the black-robed man turned into a cloud of white mist, and then disappeared without a trace.

It's like it never happened.

As described in the bizarre tale of General Victoria, Porthammer, the alchemist of the Alchemy Tower, became an immortal and omnipotent monster.

The early spring breeze blew in through the hole at the top of the tower, and the gray fog on the second floor of the tower gradually disappeared at this moment, and was blown into some unknown corner.

A huge rose appeared in front of Elian. It is a blue rose, and each petal is a huge rose made of unknown blue metal inlaid on the wall, slowly piecing together.

The blue roses are surrounded by fields of colorful flowers. The various colorful flowers embedded in the wall are blooming their beauty again to the world at this moment.

However, Eren didn't have time to enjoy the beauty in front of him, he slowly clenched his fists, thinking about a question in his heart.

"Victoria, what kind of formidable power does it have? If power destroys a man, then ... ”

Eren looked back at the blonde-haired Victoria, and her thoughts danced like the flying flotsam of the beginning of March.
