Chapter 113: Brother Anthony
"Are you sure this thing can detect the location of Platani's power source?" said Maffeo as he looked at the silver device Carl was holding, he couldn't possibly understand such complex things anyway. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Are you questioning my ability and Freya's abilities?" Karl said, glancing at Freya deliberately.
"Maffeo, you're such a rude fellow. Freya said to Maffeo word for word.
Maffeo hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I mean, what are we going to do if this thing fails?"
"It sounds like it's still questioning us. Freya stomped on Maffeo's right foot, causing the latter to cry out in pain.
"Alright, Freya, he's just a lovely pistachio. Carl said with a smile.
"Agreed. ”
After relieving the pain in his right foot a little, Maffeo asked, "So, what's the plan?"
"Care must be taken not to be detected by them, the three of us are not enough to deal with Platani. So, you know. Cal's words left Maffeo confused.
Freya reminded, "Sneak. ”
Maffeo spread his hands, "There's not much cover on that floor at all, what should I do?"
Karl pointed to the edge of the Sky City, "There." ”
Maffeo looked in the direction Karl was pointing and couldn't help but smile. "Oh shit, you're kidding?"
"No, because it's up to you. Karl smiled mysteriously, though it looked a little scary to Maffeo.
The three of them stopped when they reached the one hundred and nineteenth floor, where Platani was located one floor above. Here, if you look down from the edge, you can see something even better than in the puppeteer's territory. The silhouette of a huge whale looming in the sky appeared in Maffeo's eyes, and it was said to be a giant beast with a church on it, which believed in the great blue truth. Well, anyway, it has nothing to do with Maffeo for the time being.
All he needed to do now was use his climbing skills to climb to the 120th floor through the outer edge of Sky City, a risky plan, and if he accidentally stumbled and fell, it would take him a lot of time to find Maffeo's broken bones and flesh.
Maffeo must admit that he wanted to reject this crazy plan, but both Carl and Freya seem to think that there is nothing wrong with him. The two repeatedly reminded Marcos of what he had said, don't be afraid, you can only meet your future if you move forward. Although it sounded like nothing more than the bastard's banter to Maffeo. With great reluctance, Maffeo took the probe and prepared to start the climb through the outside of the edge.
Carl took out a receiver and placed it on the marble floor, where he and Freya received the signal, while Maffeo took the probe and probed the outside of the edge of the one hundred and twenty floors. Luckily, he's smarter, it's not that hard to use, and everything just needs to be done as Carl says. Maffeo kept repeating in his mind that it was just a simple errand, and with that in mind, he carefully stepped one foot off the edge.
Maffeo held on to the pillars with his feet, his hands constantly looking for a point to climb up, but fortunately the design was not so smooth. After many years of wind and rain, many of the stone pillars here have been damaged, and the gaps formed by those damages are the points where Maffeo stands.
With extreme care, Maffeo eventually spent two minutes climbing to the edge of the 120th floor. After a long sigh of relief, Maffeo cautiously poked his head out to observe the situation inside the layer. The huge golden golem caught his eye at the beginning, but luckily these not too intelligent golems did not notice Maffeo.
So, as planned, Maffeo took out the detector and gently placed it on a small stone slab next to it, and then turned on the switch. Carl and Freya on the next floor had already received the signal, and Platani's body was slowly unfolding on the receiver's screen. "Well done, my friend. Karl laughed.
"As I said, he's a good guy. Freya couldn't help but laugh.
"Hell, I'm cold. Maffeo was still climbing, the cold wind in the air slapping at his body.
After about five minutes, a large red dot finally appeared on the receiver's screen. "That's it, you go and signal to Maffeo, I believe he should be cold. Carl smiled and turned the receiver off.
Freya came to the edge and whistled upwards. When Maffeo heard this, he couldn't wait to say, "Thank you, the gods." He put the probe back in his pocket, and made it all the way back to the one hundred and nineteenth floor via the route he had climbed before.
"Well done, friend. Karl stepped forward and threw his fist.
Maffeo gasped in response, "Damn, that's awesome. ”
"Alright, it's time for us to go. ”
"That's right. ”
......
"You've detected the location of Platani's power source, and you've succeeded. ”
Maffeo tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop. "Yes, it was above the round ruby on its chest, covered in a layer of gold. ”
Gillens nodded, "Go on, kid. ”
"You have to trust me what I'm going to say next, or I won't tell you. ”
"You don't have a choice, boy. Gillens shook his head, a negative tone in his tone.
Maffeo sighed, "Listen, I do regret the death of the Anthony brothers, but I definitely didn't kill them. ”
"Then go on. "Girlens is already very patient to be able to communicate with people with ghost hands like this.
"Yesterday, three days after the detection of the power source, we were looking for possible opportunities to destroy Platani's power source, but we were unsuccessful. Yesterday, I went to Sky Castle alone with a gadget made by Freya, and she told me it had something to do with her approach. ”
"You're referring to the way to defeat Platani?"
"Yes, it was after I entered the Sky City through the teleportation magic array that I found the Anthony brothers, and they were discussing something on the hundred floors. ”
......
"Damn, Miko, someone's coming. The young man with short black hair waved violently at another young man with short black hair standing in front of him, as if to signal the latter not to continue.
"Did he hear what we said, Ryan?" he said nervously.
"No, I don't think so. ”
Maffeo emerged from the teleportation array, and he looked at the two of them in surprise, looking at them with a puzzled expression. "Who are you?"
"Gods, I thought someone from the academy was coming, but that scared me a lot. Miko patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ryan poked him, "Looks like an adventurer." ”
Maffeo still looked at them suspiciously, these two people should not be enemies, judging by their outfits and the wand behind them, they should be apprentices of the Academy of Magic. "Are you apprentices at the Academy of Magic?" he asked tentatively.
Miko walked up to Maffeo, "Hello sir, I'm Miko Anthony. He gestured to Ryan behind him. "That guy is my brother, Ryan Anthony. As you said, we are apprentices at the Academy of Magic. ”
"Maffeo Frye. Maffeo replied simply.
"Oh, dear Mr. Fry, are you an adventurer who has come to explore the city in the sky? Miko grimaced, but he didn't seem to be afraid.
Maffeo smiled and nodded, the two imps were a little interesting. "Hey, they're exactly what we're trying to beat. ”
When Miko heard this, he immediately turned around and ran to Ryan, dancing and saying, "Do you hear that, Ryan? ”
"About what?" said Maffeo, looking strangely at the two magical apprentices who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Miko excitedly pulled Ryan over, who was obviously a little scared, and he didn't even dare to look at Maffeo. "Did you know, Mr. Fry? It is said that the stones that make up those Golems are very precious magical materials, and the wands made from those magical materials must be very powerful, and they can even be used in other magical devices, which is amazing. ”
"No, I haven't heard of it. Maffeo shook his head.
"So, I think you should know that Golem is a magical lifeform, right?"
"Yes, I know. ”
Miko pulled out a black square device and continued to say excitedly, "This is a magical device that can resonate with those magical lifeforms that are active, and as it is, it needs magic to activate it. We wanted to see what effect it would have on the golems that were moving, and it would be very interesting. ”
"Well, I don't understand what you're talking about, but I have to tell you, those golems are dangerous, go back. Maffeo's words were undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured over Miko.
Miko said in a pleading tone, "Please, sir, we really want to see it." Trust us, we won't cause any disturbance to you, and we'll take care of ourselves. ”
Maffeo pondered for a moment, then finally made a decision. "Okay, come with me, but be careful, if you encounter danger, turn around and run, this trip will not be easy. ”
"Do you hear me, Ryan? Come on, we should go. Miko jumped excitedly.
