In the Tower of the Void, Terrela and Levi are on the spiral staircase inside the tower, walking down the steps.

"According to your words, the people who hold the fragments of the dragon eggs have already entered the Ji Tomb." Levi glanced at the stone patterns on the walls of the spire and said lightly, "If a Sage comes in, why do you think I can find the heart of Terella?" ”

Terella walked ahead and said without looking back, "The power of the Sage is too strong to cross the void with an eggshell, so it is impossible for a Sage to come in...... And Saladin set a trap in this mausoleum. ”

"Trap?"

"There is another [Lord of Frost] sleeping in the tomb."

Levi frowned and said, "There's actually a Frost King...... Can you control it? ”

"Hehe, I'm happy to tell you - no." Terella chuckled softly, "But this dragon won't be woken up by small fish and shrimp, and only the Sage's entry into the tomb will cause it to react." ”

"A trap that won't wake up, you're talking nonsense." Levi said calmly, "Even if there is no Sage among the competitors, I don't have any advantage, and you know very well that I have almost no strength to fight head-on. ”

"Competition? It's not what you think. Terella shook her head, "Terella's heart isn't mine, so you don't have to fight for that superior artifact." ”

Listening to Terella's words, Levi was not too surprised, but fell into deep thought.

Indeed, when he first learned about [Terella's Heart] from the texts, he had a vague sense that something was wrong: as a subspecies of demons, how could the Shadow Queen's heart be forged into a holy relic, so that the user could gain the strength of a giant? Completely inexplicable from alchemical theory.

"For thousands of years, my body has been lying quietly in this mausoleum, and people know that my heart is a superior holy relic, but they don't know that it is not my heart at all."

Terrella suddenly stopped and looked back at Levi, her expression calm, as if what she was saying had nothing to do with her.

"[The Heart of Tyrela] has a real name, called [Dragonheart] - its true owner is the dragon god Stryker, the most powerful dragon the continent has ever seen."

Levi's backwater-like eyes finally showed a look of shock.

A thousand years ago, when the races were parallel, dragons were the shadows in the hearts of all races, their formidable power was terrifying, and Stryk was the most terrifying of the dragons. Its wings can obscure the sky, its claws can destroy walls, and even the Warriors of Origin shy away when it breathes in anger.

The Heart of Terrella is actually the Heart of Stryker...... It does make sense.

But......

"Why?" Levi raised the question in his heart, "Why did Saladin change your heart to a dragon's heart?" ”

Terella's long hair danced slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, with a look of contempt.

"To take revenge on me, to keep my soul free from liberation, to make the world covet my mausoleum, he wants me to never rest in peace."

Levi frowned and said, "So it's also Saladin who bound your soul to the embryo of the Frost King?" ”

Terella didn't answer, just looked at Levi quietly.

What kind of hatred caused Saladin to treat his wife like this, was it because of the death of the White Queen?

Tyrella didn't want to say, and Levi didn't want to continue asking, he was silent for a while, and said, "Where is your heart?" ”

"I don't know." Terrella shook her head and continued down the stairs.

Levi felt that things were getting complicated, and he was pulled into the tomb without any preparation, and he had no idea what to do next.

What can be speculated so far is that there are two groups of people in the tomb, one belongs to Audric and the other belongs to Gole, and in addition to the other treasures in the tomb, their biggest target should be the Heart of Terella, that is, the [Dragon Heart].

Putting away his chaotic thoughts, he followed Terella down, and it wasn't long before he came to a steel gate entwined with thick chains.

"Have you ever been to the Himereung?" Levi asked.

The historical record of the tomb was built "after the death of Terella", and disappeared without a trace after its completion, losing all traces, except for a few texts that describe the location of the ruins, and those few clues all point to the void.

Terella placed her hand on the iron door and stroked it gently, as if feeling something.

"The design of the Himeling came from a scroll of drawings that Saladin amassed unimaginable wealth after unifying the continent, and the scroll called [Living Labyrinth] is one of them." She said slowly, "And I've seen that scroll of drawings, so I know the core of Ji Ling, but I don't know much about other places." ”

"Living Labyrinth......" Levi pondered the meaningful name.

"What's my name?" Terrella whispered suddenly.

Levi was stunned, frowned, and said, "Are you kidding?" ”

Terella didn't look back, she stretched out her slender index finger and placed it on the chain of the iron door, and Levi noticed a small line of light letters engraved on the surface of the chain: What is my name?

"Whose handwriting is this?" Levi asked.

Terrella closed her eyes slightly, her voice low—

"Saladin Angelo Julius."

As Terella pronounced the name, the wire wrapped around the door suddenly trembled, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the chain, which then fell to the ground in small pieces.

Is this Saladin's full name? Levi's was completely new to hearing of it.

The chains have been removed, and it seems that the answer to the riddle has been guessed.

Terella smiled meaningfully, and pressed her hands against the door, pushing the heavy steel door open.

With a tooth-aching creak, the iron door slowly opened, and a large circular hall with a high curved roof was greeted by a dazzling array of weapons and armor on the surrounding walls, and twelve long square holes carved out of the walls at equal distances like doors and windows, from which the starry sky and the pale city outside the temple could be seen.

On the ground in the center of the hall is a circular stone slab carved with intricate patterns, and the chaotic, straight concave lines present a chaotic but regular beauty, as if it contains a primitive secret.

"This is the place I have chosen to descend, the center of the Jiling, the Hall of the Masters."

Terella stepped into the main hall, her close-fitting ice blue dress fluttering in the wind, and her back revealed a solemn and noble aura, which made Levi feel a little trance.

"Aren't you going to come in?" Terella asked.

Coming back to his senses, Levi glanced at the surrounding walls and slowly walked in her footsteps, his attention quickly focused on the stone slabs on the ground, which felt a little familiar.

"It's ...... A map of the Himereung? He asked.

"That's right, it looks like you looked closely at the sky above you when you were in Slom." Terrella said calmly, "I'm sure the other intruders did something similar before they set off, even drawing maps, but none of these actions made sense. ”

Levi crouched down and placed his finger on the slate map, sensing some hidden lines.

"This map...... Can I move? He said confusedly.

"You're really smart." Terella praised without emotion, staring at the stone slab and speaking slowly, "The Himereung, as a living labyrinth, is in a disordered shape, in which the depths of the mausoleum are locked and closed so that no one can enter. ”

"That's why you didn't rush here?" Levi glanced up at Terella, "The Himereung is only fully open until you activate the map, so no one can get a head start during this time?" ”

"Except for you and me, the footholds where everyone else enters the Ji Tomb are random and scattered." Terrella said.

"You don't worry at all about people with good luck descending directly into the depths of the Himere...... Because the depths have not yet opened, everyone is circling around the periphery. Levi nodded thoughtfully, "After the maze is activated, the location of the building will change accordingly, and the map drawn in advance will naturally lose its meaning. ”

"Fifty gaps appeared in the void that enveloped Himeling."

Terrella walked across from Levi, leaned down, and pointed to the outermost line of the slate, which seemed to have been cut into pieces, with random breaks, fifty in total.

"This means that in addition to us, forty-nine people have entered the tomb." Levi said knowingly, "Are you going to activate the map?" ”

Tyrella looked at the tablet carefully and said, "Saladin has a quirky fetish, and that is puzzle games. ”

"What do you mean?" Levi raised an eyebrow.

"In order to activate the labyrinth, you have to put each of the patterns that symbolize this ruin in the right place."

"What if you can't do it?"

"If you can't do it, you can't open the prohibition in the depths." Terella replied, "One thing is for sure, my heart and dragon's heart are deep in the mausoleum, so I can only manage to activate the map. ”

Levi didn't speak, just glanced at the void ocean outside the main hall.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I can't help you with the map, I haven't seen the drawings." ”

Terry stretched his hand and touched it lightly on the slate: "Too much time has passed, I need to recall." ”

"You'd better hurry, if someone comes here, there's no way I'll be able to resist it."

After saying this, Levi ignored Terrella who was crouching on the ground, and he walked to the walls of the main hall, trying to find some suitable weapons.

As Prince Shamer, the only weapons he can use are the longbow and the moon blade, and he is not proficient, but he has experience in practice.

Suddenly, he felt a huge shadow pass over the ruins.

A flash of vigilance flashed in his heart, and he cautiously poked his head out and looked covertly at the void starry sky above his head—

It was a beautiful figure, its broad wings and slender tail still visible even through a misty layer of dark blue nebula, like a flawless work of art, and every curve on its body was impossible to fault with.

Is that...... The shadow of a dragon.

"Terella."

Levi stared at the sky as he whispered Tyrela's name.

Tyrela, who was thinking intently, looked up and gave Levi a quizzical look, knowing he wouldn't bother her for boring reasons.

"Didn't you say that there would be no sage in the tomb?"

Levi said as he withdrew his gaze. He turned slowly, and as he turned, he felt the dragon's shadow sweep across the starry sky behind him.

Levi knew that this time Terrella had seen the figure as well—a look of shock, gloom, and disbelief reflected in his pupils.

Majestic as the edge of the Himere, in the deep blue sea of the void floated a square pink house, like an ordinary hut, with a large transparent window and a wooden door, and a short chimney protruding from the top, which looked cute and mysterious.

The oddity lies in its bare foundation, which makes the house look like a rootless pink in a sea of empty stars.

When the pink house floated over the Himereung, it was as if it was under some kind of resistance, and it could not go any further. At that moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a woman with black hair and black eyes stood in the doorway, looking at the vast ruins with an obsessive gaze, and a mysterious pink light shining through the depths of her pupils.

"This is the sleeping place of the Shadow Queen...... I can't wait to add more secrets to my notes. ”

At the top of a huge church, an ice flower suddenly shot into the air, and before it could bloom, it dissolved into the deep blue sea of nothingness.

Anna Christer, the Winter Saintess, stared silently at the remains of the Ice Flower and sighed softly.

In this space, the propagation of sound is restricted, magic signals are restricted, and levitation is restricted.

The sky-blue dress rattled in the wind, and the High Magus fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she looked up into the sky.

"Dragons?"

Archer Blaze crouched in the shadows of the street, clutching a yellowed map with many place names in ancient script.

Levi's would have been surprised if he was there, because the map was completely different from the current layout of the Himereung, and was exactly what another city looked like.

"You'll have to go to [the Master's Hall] first......" Archer whispered to himself.

She wore a moon-white slim-fitting robe, a rich red belt around her waist, and a white cloak behind her embroidered with beautiful golden runes - a court magician's attire.

She put the map away, looked up at the three-story house on the other side of the street, and after making sure there was no one else around, she chanted a levitation spell and flew onto the roof.

She didn't have time to think about the strain of the flight, she looked up into the distance, as if she had been favored by Lady Luck, and it didn't take long to see a tall tower rising from the ground.

"Your Majesty......"

Archer closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination, and without hesitation, she took steps towards the tower.
