Chapter Twenty-Six: Charles the Calm and Anasta the Aggressor
Entering the main tower of the central Tesla Magic Tower, the identity of Edison and his party was scanned by a cat's eye statue, and a soft voice prompt was heard from the cat's mouth:
"Hello, Your Majesty the Princesses, may I ask what can be done for you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Arilan and Anasta glanced at each other, and Anasta took the initiative to stand up and whispered: "We have an urgent matter to find my father, it is about my mother, and the intelligence attached to the magic tower told me that he has come to the main tower." ”
"Okay! I'm asking if Your Majesty will receive a few guests, please ...... later."
After a minute, the voice in the cat-shaped statue said again: "Your Majesty invites you to come in, you can take the No. 2 Rubik's Cube to go directly." ”
Hearing this, the three of them entered, and after a strange wave of elemental fluctuations, they felt that their bodies and souls sank, and their ability to communicate with the outside elements was temporarily blocked, so they were able to enter the tower.
Alyslan complained dissatisfiedly: "It's all because the authority given by my father is not enough, otherwise I wouldn't have to make it like this, it's really uncomfortable." ”
Edison was at a loss for what to think at this time, and Anasta was anxiously looking left and right to find the entrance to the No. 2 "Rubik's Cube Room", so her complaint was ignored after the two of them nodded casually.
Thirty seconds later, in the small remote corner of the corridor on the right side of the magic hall, the three of them saw a huge spore cube marked 2, as if it was going to rust and break down at any time.
It looked yellowish and emaciated, as if every teleportation could kill it, not to mention that there was a "Gollum Pig" head hanging on it, as if mocking everyone who entered it was pig food.
What's more, the door between the Rubik's cube is only half the height of ordinary people, and normal people have to bend or crawl to enter.
Edison turned around suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure we're going to sit on this thing and go up to Your Majesty?"
Arilan and Anasta looked away inexplicably, but their hands grabbed Edison's hand, half-bent over and dragged him inside.
Edison had no choice but to bend over and walk inside like them, so as to avoid the embarrassment of hitting the wall with his forehead.
At this time, the two of them explained one sentence and one sentence to me.
It turned out that this was 3,000 years ago, when Nikolai left, it was set up in the main tower, and it was specially arranged for the "bad taste" Rubik's Cube room for the later Magic Emperor.
After that, every magic emperor who wanted to enter the main tower and use the superior experimental environment and rich resources of the empire had to go through such a situation.
It is said to warn the latecomers of the royal family not to be fattened and slaughtered one day as comfortably as a "purring pig".
Speaking of which, this method can actually be regarded as a weakened version of "lying on the salary and tasting courage", but it can be done for more than 3,000 years, and the four magic emperors have insisted on not changing, so it is no wonder that the magic empire on the other world line can finally embark on the road of a thousand years of glory.
However, the subsequent historical process is to win and decline, without foreign enemies, the magic empire instead went to the road of self-division and destruction, although there is a bit of the will of the world to interfere with the relationship, but is it not the intuitive manifestation of "born in sorrow, died in peace"?
Recalling the history of another world line, Edison was constantly alerting himself to the fact that he must not allow this world to follow a similar path.
......
In a slight spatial sway, he came to a magical laboratory on the periphery of Charles.
As soon as the door opened, a huge round ball of light appeared in the eyes of the three of them, and it was still steaming, and Edison even looked at it with his "third eye" for a long time before asking tentatively, "Armed magic?"
"That's right, it's armed magic - experimental variant usage, I slightly changed the magic pattern structure chain in it, and found that as long as the magic power is enough, the defense of this method of 'magic weapon armor' against mana erosion reaction can be many times higher than that of magic shields of other attributes......"
From within, there came a slightly dull hum from Charles.
"Oh, by the way, why don't you go out shopping and come to me at this time? And say it has something to do with Nidra, what happened to her?"
The orb of light on the outside dissipated, revealing the full humanoid silhouette of Charles inside, who was wearing a white silk magic robe, covered in sweat, but was gradually turning into elemental light spots and leaving Charles's body.
Anasta couldn't help but say, "Father, mother, she doesn't seem to be able to hold on?" as she spoke, there was already a hint of trilling in her tone.
When Charles heard this, he was not surprised, but asked a little calmly, "Oh!
Edison stepped forward and said, "I told him!, I saw ......," and Edison recounted what had happened to Nidra in full.
After listening to his narration, Charles looked at Edison with some surprise, but the focus became: "You said that you can already observe the decay of the magnetic field of ordinary people's lives?"
Edison was stunned for a moment before he reacted, the ability he took for granted now was only gradually changed after 300 years, and in this era, a 6th-order magician could see the decay of the life magnetic field, and the precision of the magic observation represented by it was simply explosive!
He subconsciously avoided Charles's burning gaze and said, "The focus is not on this now!"
Charles muttered a little out of shape, "Good luck boy!"
Then he looked at Anasta and said, "In that case, don't move out these days, stay with your mother, and send her on her last journey!"
"I'll have someone send me more, and if it's really going to be over, remember to let me know in advance, and we'll see you for the last time." ”
"By the way, Edison, if you don't mind, your wedding with Anasta will simply be held in the next few days!"
"Let her finally watch her daughter marry a reliable man, and she will be blind even if she dies!"
As he said this, Anasta's shoulders trembled, tears rolled in the frame, and finally she said in a voice that had never been louder than ever:
"Have you said enough? You bastard, I think you never cared about your mother and me, and what my mother needs most now is your company...... Why didn't you let us die like this in the first place, and why do you want us to live and torture us like this now?"
After saying that, Anasta turned around angrily, rushed into the Rubik's Cube behind her, and ordered the intelligent program inside: "Send me to a place where no one can disturb me anymore!"
As soon as the words fell, a peculiar male voice came out of the Rubik's Cube room this time:
"Permission confirmed, target sentiment reaches maximum peak, start transmitting!"
Before the eyes of a few people, Anasta just vanished, leaving only the three of them in place, looking confused. (To be continued.) )
