Chapter 16: The Midnight Tower

"He who calls for enlightenment, he who does not know is not guilty. ”

A familiar voice reached Yingma's ears.

"Duke Enlighten Herald Cerlians!" he couldn't help but shout, after all, Cerlians was the first person he knew in the so-called Seval organization.

The tall figure of Sseris walked in front of the tall stone tower, and he was also dressed in a robe, but the robe was more ornate, and the color was not black, but bright white and gold, as if to distinguish it from the gray stone environment here.

His hood was not pulled up, but was placed behind his back, revealing his aristocratic face.

"I am bitter for my stupidity. Kevin Greystone looked down, but Ima could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

"Pioneer of enlightenment, look at him, still holding a grudge!" Exclaimed Imma, pointing to Kevin Greystone, which was a great insult to Seval.

The next second, he felt that his hand suddenly lost his strength, and it hung down softly, but there was no discomfort. "Don't point your finger at anyone, it's an insult!"

As if she heard Cerlian talking to herself, but didn't see Celes speak, Ima immediately realized that it might be some kind of advanced magic, and shut her mouth with gratitude and respect.

But Kevin Graystone's anger was unbearable, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You kid, the tentacles of the shadow wrap around your neck!" Before the words fell, Sharkes rebuked: "Don't curse our fellow citizens like this, Kevin Graystone, the Caller of Enlightenment!"

The harsh rebuke from the pioneer of Qiming made him close his mouth in hatred and walked away, Yingma looked at his back, only to feel proud and a little afraid.

"Carly. Sellers called again.

Carly Jasmine hurriedly walked over and said respectfully, "Pioneer of enlightenment." ”

"Thank you for leading this beginner to get acquainted with the vicinity of Gufeng Dragon Temple, and thank you for entertaining us with his sumptuous food, and I heard that you cooked those dishes yourself this morning, for which I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of beginner Yingma. Sellers said.

Yingma's face immediately flushed, and then she realized that the delicious dishes she was enjoying warned the hand of this "moody bad girl", and she couldn't help but turn to Carly Jasmine and bow in embarrassment.

But Carly Jasmine didn't notice, she just listened respectfully to Sharkes's teachings.

"I'll lead this beginner to meet the elders first, thank you for your efforts, and may the light of dawn always shine on your staff. Sellers said formally and rigorously.

Carly Jasmine also bowed her head and said, "May the light of dawn shine on your sword forever." With that, she walked without looking back to the flight of the stairs she had just come up.

Yingma couldn't help but sigh, only to feel guilty and reluctant, for fear that her words: "Let's see you at dusk" will come true.

So the square was left with Spices and Inma, and the pedestrians hurrying by. Yingma felt a little more comfortable, after all, this enlightened pioneer was the first thing she knew.

"The elders shouldn't be ready yet, so let's wait a while. Nervous said, and Imma immediately asked, "Well, Enlightened Herald Celes, can you tell me why you are so abnormal every morning? When you came to our hotel, and earlier this day I heard in a trance that you asked Carly Jasmine to lock you up and lock you up. And why do you like chili so much?"

Sellers gave a look of pain, but quickly let it fade away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't tell you, all I can tell you is that my mother is from Mante Island, so I like to eat chili too. ”

"And what about your status as duke of the Republic? As far as I know, impersonating a duke of any country is a violation. Questions poured out in Yingma's chest, but Spices only didn't answer the "morning anomaly", and the others patiently told Yingma.

"Because I am a duke of the Republic myself, I also have the right to vote in the Council of the Republic of Starlink. He said with a smile.

Here, these seemingly title-clinging Sévars are a little more intimate.

So Yingma immediately raised this question of her own:

"Why do you Seval take titles and etiquette so seriously, but it's so much easier to get here?"

Sterris smiled slightly, "Because Elder Head has just come and informed the Sect Master and the Council of Elders of your suggestion, the Sect Master has decided to let us relax our etiquette for a while until sunset today, and if it is helpful to our real cause, it may be necessary to abolish some unnecessary titles." ”

"I didn't expect your sect leader to be so open-minded, if your sect leader is also that nasty Kevin Graystone, it will be troublesome. Yingma said excitedly, and he also had a small calculation in his heart: "In this way, I show my untalented side, maybe he can let me go." ”

At this moment, the dog barked, and the familiar golden retriever dog Kaku Barking came running over happily and rubbed at the feet of Spices.

"How cute I hold it up now. Yingma couldn't help but want to touch Nakaku's head.

Spotlius smiled, "The bark bone has always been my close comrade-in-arms, and without it and the stepping bone I would have died under the sword of the shadows." Saying that, Yingma also touched the head of the barking bone, and the barking bone wagged his tail, as if it was not the same dog as the one who made things difficult for Yingma yesterday morning.

"Hello, Pioneer of Enlightenment. Hello beginners. "A few young people walked by, but they didn't seem to know about the slowdown in etiquette today.

But Spices greeted them in a friendly manner, calling out their names instead of lengthy titles, and Ima nodded.

"Pioneer of Qiming, today is like a festival, you no longer have to keep chatting about other people's titles and have no strength to get down to business!

Selling Sserence wanted to call her by her first name as a sign of respect for the Master's orders, but on second thought, in order to introduce the beautiful woman to Ingma by the way, he said, "Hello, Bella Rose, Pioneer of Enlightenment. ”

Bella also nodded and said, "Beginner little brother Yingma, I didn't expect you to be able to let Elder Hade transmit your voice to the sect leader for you, what a great ability." Her voice was full of pity, and Yingma was moved.

"Bella, it's still the beginner Carly entertained, and you should be more rewarded for your daughter's hospitality. Saintes said, and Bella immediately showed a happy expression: "Really? I only knew that the Council of Elders sent a follower to receive the beginners you brought back, but I didn't expect that it was Carly Jasmine who took on this honor." ”

Yingma only thought that this noble lady was quite childish, and she didn't know how she was also a member of the Enlightenment Pioneers who seemed to have a high status, and was the same as Sharkes.

"The Council of Elders is ready to meet what the Enlightenment pioneer Sharkes called an extraordinary beginner. At this time, a head poked out of the door of the high stone tower and said.

It was also a kind-looking young man, but his tone was cold, and Yingma immediately scolded a favorite swear word of the naughty boy on the street of Genshin City, and no one could understand it.

"Enlightened Herald, but I still want to know what the name of this tower is. Yingma finally asked.

Spices took him by the hand, and Bella followed.

"This is the Midnight Tower, the only place in the Lone Peak Dragon Temple that has survived several days and nights without being destroyed. ”

The stone door slowly opened, and Yingma didn't look up to see the layout inside, but still asked, "Finally, how am I going to face the Council of Elders?"

He seemed to have made Cerlians his own.

But alas, Cerlians slowly let go of the hand holding him and walked away slowly.

Ingma Rhodes then raised his head and looked inside the magnificent Midnight Tower.

It was a hall full of remoteness and solemnity, and the extremely intricate drawings overhead obviously added to the mystique of the place. Around this circular structure, there were bluestone thrones at great intervals, and there were thirteen such thrones, and the one facing Yingma, the one with the strange symbol carved on the back of the chair and an intricately carved stone dragon with its wings stretched majestically, was obviously the most noble.

On top of that, the halls of the Midnight Tower always seemed to be filled with an air of sadness and oppression, and Ima was infected and felt a little uncomfortable - because he found that the two pioneers of enlightenment he relied on, Spices and Bella, were nowhere to be found.

He tried to walk towards the center, where a large, intricate pattern was carved into the floor, and as Ingma reached the center of the pattern with fear, a voice that seemed to float from a distant place reached his ears.

"Just standing there, beginner. ”

Then he screamed and sat down in fright.
