"But it's true...... The zombie dragon is the best proof of this. Ashruphat wondered.

"Remember how many detours we took before?" Carrie continued. "Before encountering dwarves and dragons...... Because the map was so wrong, we had to explore our way and move forward. You should remember. ”

Ashrufat, of course, remembers the situation. At that time, it was all up to Mimilu to climb high and guide the way.

"But that time, the terrain we were passing through was ...... It's not what we see right now!"

"Are you sure?" Ashrufat himself didn't remember that clearly. However, in this regard, he believes in Carrie's memory ability. Carrie said no, it certainly wasn't!

"Master, there are no earthquakes, volcanoes, or landslides here, and the terrain is impossible to change. This illustrates...... Actually, don't you think it's strange at first, master, that the map sold in the store is very different from the actual situation, and it doesn't even match it at all. ”

At that time, Ashrufat could only be judged to be a profiteer selling counterfeits. But now listening to Carrie, things are a bit out of the ordinary. The maps sold in the shops are supposed to have been drawn by explorers and the like through the field. Some mistakes are inevitable with this kind of map, but it's not that simple to get to the point where the outrageous situation is.

"Master, let's drop a little bit of altitude first. Carrie suggested. Ashrufat did so, and then he noticed something was wrong. What is seen at high seems to be the same as what is seen at low altitude...... It's not quite the same. It's like it's not a place.

"This ...... What's going on?"

"Master, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the work of the gods of the Star Field. Remember the last time Ylan came to your castle, she didn't come on any mount, she just walked here...... Her shoes and clothes were very clean, and they were not stained because of the long walk. ”

It must be said that Ylang made a considerable impression on Eshurufat. When Ilan left, he also walked for a while and then suddenly disappeared. But he didn't think about it that much at the time - after all, the other party is a goddess, and it's normal to have any special abilities.

"At that time, I judged that the gods of the Star Field had a base somewhere near Sylvania. Carrie continued. "Ylan must have come to the outside of the castle by teleportation. The impact distance of the portal is limited...... This is normal, they were digging up the wreckage of the ship through the church, and it is likely that they will set up a base nearby and place the corresponding equipment just in case. ”

"So......" Ashruphat had already understood what Carrie meant. "Their base is here?"

"You can't be wrong. And it's a perfect place in every way. In particular, there is a dragon guarding ...... Wait a minute, master, you land down first and carefully inspect the dragon's head. ”

A few minutes later, Ashrufat landed on the ground and began to examine the zombie dragon. Things don't seem to be going well with the zombie dragon, who finds a new tear in the dragon's wing membrane bone connection. It seems that the high-speed flight just now has caused an overload on the zombie dragon, but Carrie promises that this can be repaired. In addition to this, he found something special on the dragon's head - inside the dragon's skull (which is now empty, of course), Carrie found an unobtrusive piece of metal. While the dragon was alive, this piece of metal should have been buried in the dragon's brain.

Ashrufat took the metal piece. Although he couldn't read it, the unimaginably fine texture on the metal sheet...... It doesn't look like something naturally formed.

"It's a sensor chip!" Carrie recognized. "Sure enough, they controlled the dragon through this thing...... Master, this dragon should be the hound used by the gods of the star field to protect their base. In other words, there must be a base of the gods of the star field in the vicinity. If we can sabotage this base, then we don't have to worry about their plots. ”

"In the base...... Are there any gods in the Star Field?"

"Impossible. They won't send a member to be stationed here for long to spy on us. They are limited in number and will not do such wasteful ...... I believe the base is empty, and maybe there might be a mechanical guard like 'Wendini'. With your strength, defeating that level of caretaker will not be a problem. There must be a lot of relevant equipment in there that we can use to infer their development and gain valuable information. Carrie said excitedly. "If you have a data connection, that's even better. ”

Ashrufat pondered Carrie's proposal for a moment.

"Master, we rode over on the dragon and searched for a lap in a low-flying way. It doesn't take much time. Carrie didn't know what special excitement Lu Dao was about, and she was urging very actively. "If you ride a nightmare horse, it will take you about ten days to search the neighborhood. But if it's a zombie dragon, it's only half a day and a day. ”

"Carrie ......"

"Master, is there anything going on?"

"You asked me to resurrect this zombie dragon, didn't you...... Was that the purpose in the first place?"

"Ah...... Ha Lu Ha ...... Of course not. Because I couldn't tell that their base was here. And, master, isn't it in your interest to destroy their base?"

Ashrufat didn't continue arguing with Carrie, he got back on the dragon's back and flew into the sky. Zombie dragons resurrected by dark magic can fly at high speeds with their large, shriveled wings, as well as perform a variety of clever low-altitude flight gestures. This made Ashruphat quickly find out why the terrain would be different for what he saw. It was as if there was some invisible force that had placed a cover. This force doesn't stop people from passing through, but it does allow people to see a completely different view than they actually are. What you see outside the hood is very different from what you see inside the hood.

This search is far from what Carrie said a day and a half. In just an hour or so, Ashrufat had found his target.

It was a round tower with a narrow top and a thick bottom. The building sits on a small flat land in the middle of the mountains, and there is no special disguise around it. After passing through that strange layer of vision-distorting defenses, Ashruphat was able to find the tower in no time. Because the gray-white tower body is incompatible with the surrounding environment, it is very conspicuous. It is conceivable that if it weren't for this strange protection and the dragon as the guardian, this place might have been discovered long ago.

The zombie dragon stopped at a location farther away. Worried about any special defensive measures, Ashrufat did not directly control the zombie dragon to approach, but chose to walk the last part of the road on foot. Just in case, before approaching, he also deliberately circled the tower.

"No energy radiation devices have been found...... No physical assault weapons were found......" Carrie analyzed. "Master, it doesn't look like there's any long-range offensive weapons here. You can approach ...... safely"

The tower is truly quite fantastic. It was built in a small clearing on the mountainside, and there were no roads nearby, and to get to the bottom of the tower, you had to climb an extremely steep cliff. A superhuman being like Ashrufat could easily climb mountains, but for ordinary humans, it was a great challenge. I really don't know how this tower was built in the first place.

The whole body of the tower is grayish-white, a bit like lime, but it is not the same. There are no weeds, vines or anything like that. Everyone knows that these plants in the southern mountains of the road have an unusually tenacious vitality and adventurous spirit, and they can even cover bare stone mountains with a hard layer. But there seems to be some kind of magic in this gray-white tower that keeps these traditionally indestructible vines away. Eshurufat tried it with his knife, and found that the off-white, somewhat lime-like material was extremely tough, and the knife could only dig out a little bit of powder.

If that wasn't strange enough, Ashrufat immediately discovered the most surprising thing about the tower - the building had no entrance.

At the perimeter of the base of the tower, there are no doors. In fact, the round tower is completely sealed off all around, and there is not even a place that looks like a secret door. The only place that looked a bit like an entrance or exit was something in the middle of the tower that was supposed to be a window, but it was too high.

Ashrufat tried. He immediately noticed that the walls around him were too smooth, and there were no gaps or bumps to draw on. In this case, even he would not be able to climb up.

Ashrufat stopped his futile attempt, and looked up at the window-like opening in the heights. If Mimilu was there, maybe she would have been able to climb up......

Why do I keep thinking about Mimilu!, Ashrufat immediately dispelled his train of thought. Luckily, he had something else.

With his black magic summoning, the zombie dragon quickly flew in, sending Ashrufat into the air. When you fly high, you can see that what looks like a window when it is on the ground is actually an entrance. In other words, to enter the tower, you must either have the ability to fly, or you must have special climbing tools and excellent skills. If there is neither, it is impossible to enter the interior of the tower.

No matter how you look at it, this tower doesn't intend to let outsiders in.

There was no obstacle to the entrance, and there were no doors, as if wide open for the approach of uninvited guests. However, there is a corner, so you can't see the inside from the outside.

"Rest assured, master. There should be no traps at the location of the entrances and exits. In her head, Carrie explained. "Let's go in!"

Ashrufat let the zombie dragon get a little closer, and then he jumped directly from the dragon's back to the entrance. Carrie was right, there weren't any traps or anything like that. Behind the corner is a staircase that descends to the Sho. And as Ashruphat stepped up the stairs, the surroundings suddenly lit up. But Ashrufat could not find a clear source of light.

The staircase was not only long but also very tortuous, each section resembling a sausage, each with a dozen steps, and between the sections there was a door frame made of some kind of metal, but there was no door in the door frame, so it may have been used for support.

"It doesn't look like it's a simple base. In her mind, Carrie said in a self-muttering tone. "These metals...... Able to resist the destruction of magic...... Master, I advise you to put on your armor and take your weapons, just in case. ”
