Chapter Seventy-Five: The Tower of Thorns

Diarlando immediately leaned over and looked at the width of the keyhole, as if it was the tooth that used as the key. So he took the necklace off again and put it in. As soon as he pushed his teeth to the ground, a suction force swallowed the key whole.

Neither of them expected this to be the result, and immediately jumped up and retreated, all on guard, for fear that some mechanism would be triggered below. The mechanism moved, but it was not hurtful, and the stone platform was split in all directions as if it had been slashed from the top, vertically and horizontally, and fell to the floor, with a bud-shaped crown of many triangles that looked like shark teeth on the only arm-thick pillar left in the middle.

β€œ...... I think that one is for you?" Cantu cautiously looked around the fallen stone platform to make sure nothing else would move, and then moved closer again. Dearlando immediately ran to the center, and then reached for the strange crown.

He took the crown in his hand, turned around, and found that the other teeth, like the tooth necklace, were set on a silver pedestal, with seven layers, but one was missing on the sixth layer, and the color was the same as that of the necklace.

The necklace embedded in it was found next to the base of the Kantu Pillar, and he pulled it out and gave it to Deirlando, who removed the silver pedestal with the teeth tied and inserted the tooth into the vacant position.

When the missing part is filled, all the teeth fall outward, like the petals of a lotus flower open. Eventually, a small bone-like ring was revealed, which looked like a bracelet with two strands. Each strand is the thickness of a finger and is carved with a fine geometric pattern. The magic is that there is nothing connected between the two strands, they are one finger's width apart from each other, and they cannot be approached or separated. And with the flick of your fingers, the two-layer bracelet can be rolled freely.

Kantu put the stone on top of the bracelet, and immediately the stone began to spin, and after dozens of turns at high speed, it pointed in a fixed direction.

"It turns out that this is the pedestal, so a set of compasses is complete. Cantu nodded thoughtfully, and Diarlando agreed. He was so happy. I didn't expect to get the compass so smoothly. Now it's time to go.

The elf took the crown from Deirlando's hand and looked at it curiously: "What kind of crown is this, the style is so special, it is actually made of shark teeth...... he didn't finish speaking. The crown, which had been fine just a moment ago, suddenly shattered like sand in its hands. Only an empty silver pedestal remains.

β€œ...... Did you break it?" Dearlando looked at the wreckage of the crown. Dangerously looked at the elf. He didn't know what it was for, but what if it was a very important treasure? Everything he had obtained so far had a very important role, and he wondered where he would use it in the future.

"No, no. This is the completion of its mission, the normal demise!" The elf hurriedly explained to himself, he was not sure, but as if to match his statement, the rocks above his head also began to fall, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Diarlando put away the stone, put the bracelet on his arm, and slammed his fist into the wall, rather than be drowned in the end of the stone, it was better to break the tower and jump into the river. Unexpectedly, this fist was worse than hitting the rotten wood, and the rock collapsed like flour, and then the entire stone chamber collapsed. The river swarmed in, rushing the two men to the opposite side.

When their bodies hit the rocks on the other side, they broke the wall again. When the two men reached the water, they immediately swam upward, and it was not far from the river, that is, about thirty feet away. As they swam, they dimly saw the tower completely melt into the water as if it were made of mud.

A huge object fell into the water, and they saw the shark's streamlined body swim on it for a moment, then lunge straight in their direction. Cantu tried to escape, but Berdillando grabbed him. When the shark got closer, the elf realized that the shark had been transformed by His Excellency the Governor.

Shakolin used his fins to hold the two men and quickly sent them to the surface, and the shark, which could swim out of the water, sent the person directly to the boat. The deck was full of people, Ruidan, Fayir, Zoya, Achille, Luna, Dino...... It's okay to go straight out in search of the Forgotten Island.

There was a huge cheer on the shore, as if to celebrate something. Diarrando wiped a handful of water from his face, took the cotton towel from the waiter to wipe his face, and then asked strangely, "What happened?"

Ruidan said, "It's nothing, just to see you come up and cheer." We have given the order to retreat, but these people are staying here and are unwilling to leave, believing that the Starlight Dragon can bless them, and there is no need to flee at all. ”

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the Governor's Palace: "Big brother, you see, those vines have grown out of the ground. Do you have a way to get rid of it now?"

Diarlando looked at the white ring-shaped Doge's Palace, where some black lines now appeared on its faΓ§ade. From such a distance, you can still see those vines growing at will, constantly stretching new branches into the sky.

The only good thing for now is that the vines are just growing higher and not expanding around. The vines that were desperately trying to grow tall were entwined with each other, and it seemed that they intended to build a tower based on the Doge's Palace.

"It's useless, even if I cut them off, I can't get rid of the roots, and they will grow back. By the way, what about Elena?" asked Ruidan with concern as he thought of his adoptive mother, who was sleeping in the Governor's Palace.

"Big brother, don't worry, I have already transferred her out, at this moment she is in the Golden Dome Palace, under the care of dozens of great priests, it should be no problem for the time being. But big brother, we don't care about that thing, let it grow as it pleases?" Ruidan glanced anxiously at the Governor's Palace, and his heart was extremely worried.

"I'll try to see if I can cut it off first. Shakolin, take me over. "Dearlando knew that he couldn't wake up the young dragon now, so he had to let the only French Shark Rider who could still fly freely use it as a walking tool.

Fayer volunteered in a rare way: "Take me with you, I know Fekelen best, and I may be able to see what it is." ”

Dearlando grabbed him by the collar and jumped on Shakolin's back with him, and the two of them stood firm with the shark's dorsal fin armor, waved their hands to the people on board, and rushed to the governor's palace without hesitation.

When they got closer, they found that the vines were so thick that they could not be described as vines at all, and the thickest trunk was as thick as a few people hugging each other. The vines are purple and black all over, except for some bright purple lines that sometimes appear on the surface, and fluorescent pink filaments swim in them.

Countless branches grow on the main trunk, and even the thinnest ones are as thick as a wrist. At present, there were no leaves on the bare vines, and all the branches could be seen winding and rising regularly, as if an invisible hand was controlling them and weaving them together.

"This is the Tower of Thorns!Felon is rebuilding his home in Bran, where the Tower of Thorns, the Throne of Bones, and the Penance Courtyard are the usual residences of the three royal sword-wielding leaders. Looks like he's planning to build his own territory here this time?" Fayle muttered to himself as he looked at the magic that had completed the first layer of the foundation in the blink of an eye.

Dearlando summoned the magic sword, imagining its infinite extension with his own will, and after the last experience of "binding" the city of Klayati, he became even more knowledgeable about the use of the magic sword.

At this moment, the long white sword body that was fully unfolded was waving in the wind, like a thin steel cable, at least more than three miles long. He shook his hand, and the sword shook like a ribbon in the wind for a moment, and then slashed at the purple-black vines that were still growing at high speed.

Sharp magical blades swept through the Doge's Palace, cutting off all the towers above them. The broken vines fell immediately, but strangely they landed on the ground without making a sound, not even breaking anything.

"The Tower of Illusions......" Fayle's face turned pale, and he pointed to the vines that had begun to sprout new branches again, "It wasn't an entity at all, but something somewhere between a spiritual projection and a magic array. (To be continued......)
