"Is this Cloud Tower City?" Turning around the foot of a hill and seeing the rather prosperous city in front of her, Steele, who had just turned back from a pig a few days ago, asked curiously, "But where is the tower?"

Most of the cities in the Secret Tower Federation are named after the "Tower", for example, Green Tree City is named after the Green Tree Magic Tower, Golden Tower City is named after the golden magic tower, and as for its capital, it is simply named after the "Supreme Tower". According to this law www.biquge.info Cloud Tower City should naturally have a magic tower, perhaps called "Cloud Tower", or it may have the characteristics of clouds.

However, Steele looked left and right, and could not see any magic towers in the city.

"The towers of Cloud Tower City are not on the ground. Ray stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "In the sky." ”

When Steele looked up, he saw dark clouds, gloomy and gloomy, with no sun in sight—and no magic towers in sight.

Ray then remembered that it was a cloudy day, and he couldn't see the magic tower built in the clouds in the sky, so he couldn't help but laugh twice and explained to her in detail.

The so-called "Cloud Tower" is actually a floating magic tower. The mage who built the tower had a passion for flying since he was a child, and since he became a mage, he has been studying flying spells. He developed a special legendary spell that could give an anti-gravity effect to an area for a long time, and later used his research to build the Magic Tower.

However, there was something wrong with the mage's calculations, and when he activated the magic, the magic tower that was still only the pedestal at that time flew into the sky like an arrow from a string, and by the time he finally found the mistake and corrected it, the pedestal had already flown high into the air, staying at a height far from the ground, even invisible to people with poor eyesight.

After thinking about it, the mage thought that maybe this would be a good thing, so he made a mistake and built the magic tower high in the sky.

It was the "tallest" man-made structure in the world, and it was estimated to be taller than the temples and magic towers built in the Broken Cloud Mountains. In order to resist the high winds and dangerous flying monsters, the magic tower is shrouded in a defensive magic array all year round, and from the ground, the defense circle looks like a cloud, surrounded by the magic tower, from which the name of the cloud tower comes from.

Steele was amazed at this, and even Liv, Rank, and Little Nice were very surprised. Although they are natives of the Secret Tower Federation, they only know that "there is a magic tower in the clouds in Cloud Tower City", and they do not know the specific ins and outs of this tower. It is only today that it is understood why there is such a magic tower.

"Teacher, you are really knowledgeable!" Ranke sincerely admired, "Sure enough, even if you are a warrior, if you want to become a real strongman, you need a lot of knowledge to enrich yourself!"

Lei was stunned for a moment, remembering that this was what he had said when he had pretended to lecture them not long ago, so he coughed dryly twice and put on a majestic look.

"Didn't you talk nonsense that day, you really need a lot of knowledge to become a high-level warrior?" Sui Xiong asked curiously inside the Psychic Connection.

In front of Sui Xiong, of course, Lei would not lie, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, this is what I said when I was a student, when I had the honor to visit the owner of this magic tower, Master Ibu Wei. At that time, he said, 'Although your goal is to become a great knight, no matter what path you take, to become a true strong man, you must enrich yourself with a lot of knowledge, so study hard and don't slack off just because you are not a spell caster.' ”

Sui Xiong nodded and asked with interest, "It seems that this master is a learned person, can I go and visit him?"

"I'm afraid not now, since more than a hundred years ago, he and several of the most powerful masters have lived in the Supreme Tower, guarding Master Imia Lamperous, who is analyzing divine power and preparing to become a god. If you want to see him, you'll have to go to the Tower of the Highest. ”

Sui Xiong nodded, indicating that he knew—he had decided to wait for the matter of the Holy Land to be over, and when he was free, he would go and visit the learned master, and by the way, have a good exchange with the master Imia Lamperous, who is said to be the god of mages.

They said goodbye to the giant ape, who had been released and regained their freedom as agreed, and walked towards Cloud Tower City. When parting, Sui Xiong also gave it a large wooden stick strengthened with magic power as a thank you gift - several times along the way, it chose to use a large tree branch as a weapon, Sui Xiong thought that maybe all monkeys like to use sticks, so he made such a weapon for it.

As for the bronze-crowned wyvern, in order not to be too conspicuous, it was put in a special monster bag.

When the group finally entered the city gate and could no longer be seen, the giant ape, who had been watching in the nearby woods for a long time, let out a humane exclamation, and turned away with his stick.

Cloud Tower City is quite prosperous, and its liveliness and prosperity are among the best in the entire Mystic Tower Federation. This is a good port of the Federation, because of the low terrain, the low concentration of magic power makes it rare for monsters to appear here, and the safety is greatly guaranteed, so a large number of civilians are gathered.

Perhaps it was because of the low terrain that the Master Ibrahimi chose to build the magic tower in the air.

Ray habitually sought out a kinder-looking young guard, and this time he inquired about the more worthwhile shops, good restaurants, and well-informed people in the city.

The guard took the money and showed him the target. Rather than going to "a store worth visiting" or a "good restaurant," Ray went straight to a grocery store, a grocery store built in the port district, according to the guards, and although the owner Randolph ran a grocery store, his main business was actually exploration and investigation, and he was a true explorer. He knew a lot about the knowledge on the surface and the news on the cover.

Ray quickly found the place, which was a nondescript grocery store that wasn't doing a good job and seemed ordinary at first glance. He told everyone to wait outside, and he entered the grocery store alone—of course, Sui Xiong rested incognito on his head like a hat.

Randolph is a middle-aged man in his mid-forties, wearing a pair of small round glasses and an ordinary appearance. At first glance, there is nothing special about it, but whether it is Sui Xiong or Lei, you can see the powerful strength hidden under his ordinary appearance. This man was a great warrior, and he knew how to use spells, and he carried more than one magic item on his body, such as his glasses.

Perhaps, this is why he was able to complete several expeditions.

When he learned of Ray's intentions, he didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

"I'm a rule-talker. After thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "The intelligence business is very dangerous, and those who sell information indiscriminately often end badly. So I'm very disciplined—it's just the things that don't matter, and I sell the important news only to those who have a valid reason, whether it's in a majestic court or before a just god. ”

"If you want to inquire about the shipwreck, please come up with a valid reason first!"

He stared intently at Ray, his glasses glowing with an invisible blue light.

"Note that his glasses are a powerful magic prop that is now activating 'Detect Lies'. Sui Xiong immediately noticed it and quietly reminded Lei.

Ray thought about it for a moment and said, "I'm here to help the families of the shipwrecked people who lost their loved ones because of that accident and are in trouble. We felt that there seemed to be a conspiracy behind this incident, so we wanted to find out. ”

When he finished, Randolph lifted his glasses, which had no change in blue light, and smiled.

"You're telling the truth. He said, "It's nice to meet a good man who is a good man, and I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"Probably not long before that voyage, Sheen Riley, the son of the Lord of Garth City in the Blue Moon Kingdom, came to Cloud Tower City. It said that he wanted to build a shipping route here and do business in monster materials and low-grade spices. At that time, many people came to negotiate with him, and the most powerful of them even included a wealthy merchant from a high-ranking mage family in the city. ”

But Sheehan Riley didn't easily agree to anyone, but secretly hooked up with an out-of-town businessman with little social connections. For this reason, many people wanted to trouble him, but after communicating with him, they couldn't do it. ”

Soon after, the caravan departed. Strangely enough, Sheehan himself did not set off with the ship, but stayed in the city. Not only that, but he had been preparing for his second voyage ever since. Judging by his preparations, he seems to be very unoptimistic about the prospects of the first voyage, but he is full of confidence in the establishment of the route. ”

"Later, the news came that the fleet had been shipwrecked and attacked by the 'Dark Tide' Timsal and suffered heavy losses. ”

Sheehan didn't have any particular feelings about this, he was still methodically preparing for the next voyage, and some time ago he organized a successful expedition that was very profitable. ”

Now, he's planning his next voyage. It is said that he intends to take advantage of this voyage to leave the Federation and return to his hometown. ”

After listening to the news, Lei nodded slightly, thought about it, and asked, "So...... Have you ever found out what this has to do with the Church of the Noble Ladies?"

Randolph was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time, and showed a little doubt: "If you don't say it, I really haven't noticed." The head of the Lady Church had come to visit Sheehan and talked to him about something—I thought it might be about a mission or something, but I didn't care. Moreover, the man also died in the shipwreck...... Is there any secret in between?"

Ray didn't answer, patting him on the shoulder: "You'll find out in a while." ”

With that, he turned and left the grocery store.

Randolph did know a lot, far more than Ray had anticipated.

Already...... Enough is enough!
