Chapter 543: Demon Wizard, Chosen Child
"Don't be afraid, young boy." The old man smiled kindly, "I am a skeleton...... You can call me a 'bone dragon'. ”
There was a hint of surprise and panic in the young man's eyes. He subconsciously took a step back, "How the hell did you appear?" You've been dead for so many years! ”
"Hehe, young man, you have too many questions." The bone dragon said slowly.
"First of all, we have to figure out, where did we come from?" ”
"Don't you know everything? Didn't you come from the Holy Mountain? The young man asked in surprise.
The bone dragon waved his finger and said with a smile, "Wrong, I'm from that tower, not from the Holy Mountain." ”
"Towers?" The young man was even more puzzled, "What kind of place is that?" ”
"It was once a temple and is said to have been the residence of a great shaman. In the distant past, there were wizards living there. ”
The bone dragon said slowly: "The world we live in is the Esenlan Kingdom of the Allen Empire. ”
"The Kingdom of Eisenland?"
"Yes." The bone dragon nodded, "I'm from this city, and my name is Antonidas?" Crogereeve.
I remember very well that that night, I was waiting for rescue in the tower, only to meet a strange person. He took me to the tower.
He then gave me three rings and two rolls of parchment.
I returned to the castle with the ring and parchment and studied them. And then......
I fell asleep. When I open my eyes again, it's already like this......"
"Wait!" The young man broke the bone dragon and frowned and asked, "What about the tower?" ”
"That tower is gone."
Antonidas said bitterly: "I don't understand why it disappeared, maybe ...... This is the result of the prophecy. ”
He sighed deeply, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Nope! You are talking nonsense! The young man shouted, "You are lying! You know that the tower exists, but you deliberately make up these lies to deceive me! ”
Antonidas's face immediately became ugly, and he stared at the young man angrily, shouting, "Do you know who left that tower? It is a powerful sorcerer! ”
"Who and what? I don't care who left it! The young man retorted loudly, "That doesn't stop us from saving the world!" ”
"Stupid!"
Antonidas roared, "You don't understand! You have no idea what that tower is for! ”
He shouted excitedly, "It is the source of a calamity, it is the source of a curse!" You're all going to die because of it! ”
"You're lying! I don't believe it! The young man stubbornly retorted, "You deserve to be cursed!" If you hadn't come to this curse, you wouldn't have been like this! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Antonidas scolded angrily, "Those demons killed the great wizard, they ruined our only hope!" ”
"I don't know who it is, but I do know that it wasn't made by a demon, and it could never have been killed by a demon!" The young man shouted, "We should stop it from coming and save our people!" ”
Antonidas's expression gradually calmed down, and his dark eyes stared directly at the young man in front of him, as if he wanted to see the clue from his demeanor.
In the middle of the night, he exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
"Don't you think it's weird?" He said, "Why are we able to be resurrected when we died in the tower?
If you think about it, how did we wake up? ”
The young man frowned and recalled, and asked tentatively, "You say...... Tower...... Did the mysterious man say something to you? ”
Antonidas nodded.
"He told me that the tower is where we end up. We will pass the test before we can get out of the tower and regain our freedom. ”
The young man's eyes widened, "So...... Have you really met the owner of the tower? Who is he? ”
"I don't know......," Antonidas shook his head, "it was getting late, and I only saw a back in a hurry." He was dressed in a wide gray robe, tall and slender, and his back was full of oppression. ”
"Gray robe, wide gray robe...... "The young man muttered.
"I guess you heard him too, right?" The bone dragon said with interest, "You are a young and handsome wizard, I think you should be able to understand the words of that Excellency, right?" ”
The young man's face became solemn.
He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Hmm." I vaguely heard him mention the ...... of the 'world of Azeroth'"
"The world of Azeroth?"
Anthony Duston's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost, and he exclaimed, "How do you know about the world of Azeroth?!" ”
The young man shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I don't know, maybe that world is too far away from here." ”
Antonidas looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt his heart pounding and his breathing became short.
His lips squirmed: "Are you...... Azeroth? ”
The young man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly.
Antonidas looked disappointed.
"Since you don't want to tell your identity, let's get down to business." Antonidas mused, "You are the guardian of Elwyn for generations, and I believe you should know the secrets of that tower.
Tell me what you know about the tower. Like, what's in that tower? ”
The young man was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"We're all trapped inside the tower...... he whispered, "and there's a lot of ancient runes in the tower.
Together, those runes create a powerful force that sends us to another world.
Outside the tower, special seals were also set up to prevent us from escaping. ”
Antonidas frowned: "Special seal...... Can't we use witchcraft to break the seal and escape? ”
The young man sighed, "The wizards have tried many things...... But neither witchcraft nor summoning was useless.
Every once in a while, the seal will break on its own and we will fall into a coma...... When we woke up, we found ourselves lying in a house.
While we were unconscious, there were always a few strange guys who barged in, demanded food from us, and took us away......
This happens every seven days, for a total of five times.
We dare not disobey their orders. They asked us to lead them on a treasure hunt, and we had to make sure they were not killed or injured.
Each and every one of us must accomplish this task. ”
Antonidas was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What about ...... What did you find? ”
"An abandoned ruin, and a stone platform."
The young man replied, "We found the stone slab on the stone platform, on which were recorded some strange patterns - we called the 'Bloodline Spell'.
