8. The sea

Lynn woke up early.

I don't know if it's because there is a great god hidden, but the weather in Bobo Town has always been very good, and even if it rains, it is a dense and delicate light rain. After staying in Bobo Town for a long time, Lin has long been accustomed to such mild weather, and suddenly encountering the situation in front of her, she can't help but feel quite uncomfortable.

Lynn was awakened by a sudden drop in air pressure.

"Whew...... It's unpleasant. "When I woke up, I didn't see the sunlight coming in through the window, but it was a gloomy gray, and the sky outside the window was even more cloudy. Even though Lynn hadn't seen this kind of weather in a long time since she came into the world, she knew what it meant - a rainstorm was coming.

"I hate this kind of weather. ”

Lin shook her little head, got out of bed and began to wash, the weather outside was not pleasant, even if she lay down again, it was estimated that she would not be able to fall asleep again. Another reason why I don't want to go back to bed...... Lin was not used to sleeping alone in such an empty room, which made Lin feel very depressed, especially with this kind of low atmosphere.

"Boom!"

Outside the window, there was a loud bang, followed by a low scream. Lin turned her eyes and saw a man in black kneeling on the balcony, and the other party was holding his head and looking very painful.

β€œ...... Ah, by the way, I reinforced the glass before I went to bed yesterday!"

Lin was not used to this kind of room with a whole glass wall, although it looked much more gorgeous than her own simple cabin, but Lin always felt very secure. So before going to bed. The glass wall on one side of the balcony was solidified - because the glass was transparent, Lynn thought that only by reinforcing it thicker than the usual fence could she balance her inner insecurity...... So Lin added a high level of anti-demon treatment. It also focuses on strengthening its hardness and toughness. In short, the balcony still looks like glass, but in fact it is no different from the steel plate.

Probably the one on the balcony wants to break through the window in style, right?

"Are you alright?"

Although the man in black doesn't look like a good guy just by looking good, because he hit the glass wall (...... It wasn't a weapon but a head, and Lynn thought that the uninvited guest had no ill intentions, and opened the glass door and walked out onto the balcony with confidence.

Even if the other party has ulterior motives, Lin doesn't feel that the other party can threaten her.

"Hmm!"

The man in black saw Lynn walk out. Reflexively, he leaned backwards in an attempt to get out of Lynn's side. Lin tried to reach out and grab the man in black, but at the same time as she grabbed the other's palm. The man in black's hand was as slippery as a loach, and he was stunned to break free from Lin's unpreparedness.

Obviously, although this man in black seems to be a little cute and stupid, he still retains a certain professionalism and reserve...... Even if Lynn tried to stop him, she didn't succeed.

Ahh

Lynn reached the edge of the balcony and stood on tiptoe to look downstairs.

"What's the trouble on the balcony on the third floor...... Not. It doesn't seem to be dead......" originally wanted to hold the man in black who might fall down the building. Seeing that the other party seemed to be able to moan, the hanging heart also relaxed. She can now basically confirm that the other party should have no malicious intent.

If it's really an assassin or something, and you can let such a cute and stupid fool carry out the mission, the organization behind it is almost finished, right?

Lin shook her head, not bothering to think about the origin and intentions of this strange man in black, and turned around and walked back into the room. However, she didn't take two steps before a hand trembled over her shoulder.

"Please...... Please don't mind, Your Majesty...... ι™›xiΓ ζœ‰δ»€. Could you please tell us about ......"

"Don't you really need to stop the bleeding first?"

Even if he is wearing a tight-fitting black suit, he is tightly wrapped up and down. However, the exposed parts of the eyes are soaked in red, and this appearance is in urgent need of treatment.

"No, the mission is ......"

Before the man in black could finish speaking, he was dragged into the room by the collar by Lin - although there was a question at that time, Lin did not have any intention of asking, and it was essentially an imperative sentence.

......

"I'm sorry to disturb you early in the morning. Seeing Lynn arrive earlier than expected, Lilia was also a little embarrassed, she thought that her own men had woken up the sleeping Lynn, "But please forgive me...... Eh, what the hell is this...... What's going on?"

The man in black who went to inform Lin was no longer covered with a black cloth on her face at this time, but instead had a circle of bandages on her forehead, and the expression on her face at this moment was almost crying.

"Uh......h Excuse me...... I'm disgraced to you......"

"This idiot was so frightened by me that he somersaulted on the balcony and fell downstairs. Thinking of this, Lin also wanted to laugh a little, but considering that the other party was also Liliye's subordinate, she couldn't be too presumptuous after all, "It doesn't look like a professional, right?

Because there was not a trace of heaving on her chest, Lin didn't think of the clumsy man in black as a woman at first, and only found out when she forcibly took off the other party's hood to bandage her.

"Well, because I don't like people to know about it. ”

Lilia was also a little helpless when she heard this, and she intended to prevent others from knowing her movements, so she went to find Lin in the early morning when everyone was still sleeping. And because Lilia has only been on the throne for a short time, she has not yet established a "special" organization and department, and there is no secret army directly under her, so she asked her personal maid to inform Lynn. But after thinking about her skills, she forgot about the character of this maid......

It's a bit embarrassing to say something like somersault and fall from a building. But Lilia didn't say anything - she was just a good person, but this skill was mainly for personal protection, and it was too difficult to expect her to do scout work.

"Majesty! I ...... Didn't let anyone else notice!"

"Really, I've worked hard for you, little seven......"

"I was knocked unconscious when I found my (9) people!"

β€œ......”x2

Lynn couldn't help but think of a joke about some players with obsessive-compulsive disorder who couldn't play a game without clearing out all the enemies in their area. So I often sneak into the game to complete the Musou series...... This is also a kind of "no one discovers" achievement, because everyone who finds it is killed......

Lin found that this maid who seemed to be numbered seven should be considered natural black in a sense, right?

Liliel covered her head with a headache. I started to have a headache and how to deal with the aftermath when the time came. Seeing Liliye like this, Lin thought about it and said to Xiao Qi, who still didn't know why: "We have important matters to negotiate, so ......"

"Got it! I'm going to avoid it!"

Xiao Qi didn't notice that this order was not issued by her master, and the scene of the secret meeting between the bigwigs of the two forces immediately came to mind, so she hurriedly exited the room, and did not forget to close the door when she left.

β€œ...... Go ahead. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Do you see the weather outside?"

"Well, to be honest, I didn't sleep well because of the weather- what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this weather?" Lynn was a little confused, even though the rainstorm wasn't all that pleasant. But it's normal weather, right? Apparently it's not the turn of the sky or something......

"The question is very strict. Lilia did not shy away from revealing the most important secret in front of Lynn, "There's lost contact with the Blue Tower...... Immediately after that, the weather changed dramatically. Although such rainstorms are very common in my country, I have reason to believe it. This rainstorm is absolutely inseparable from the Blue Tower. Worse words......"

"You're worried that it's not just a rainstorm. Is it a prelude to a disaster like a typhoon......?"

In the course of Lynn's life in the past world, the heavy rainstorms she experienced were almost concentrated in the summer, and a large part of them were linked to natural disasters such as typhoons. At this moment, she almost immediately thought of this terrible natural disaster, because Xia had said that the history of this country was closely related to disasters.

Typhoons can also cause tsunamis, which is exactly the same as the legend of the Blue Tower.

"Can't be contacted yet?"

"As a national priority, the Blue Tower has invested a considerable amount of manpower, and the relevant preventive measures and backup measures are sufficient. There's no reason to lose two hours of contact in a row. ”

Lynn couldn't comfort Liliel at this point, and she couldn't convince herself that it was just an accident. In her opinion. If there is an accident in such an important place, I will definitely do my best to restore the communication, but more than two hours have passed, and the probability of an accident is probably zero, right?

"You didn't come to me because you wanted me to help you in this matter, did you?" Lin couldn't help but look at Lilier suspiciously, even if she didn't say the importance of the Blue Tower, I believe Lilier knew very well, didn't it really matter if she did this?

"Absolutely. ”

"This, I need to remind you to remind you, I'm not ......"

"Even if it's a citizen of the kingdom, can I safely let them enter the Blue Tower?" Lilier smiled, "Do you know that the kings of the past have not been willing to go to the Blue Tower in person?, or rather, no king has ever been to the Blue Tower except the original one. ”

Lilier took out the "key" and shook it in front of Lynn's eyes, and Lynn's eyes widened the moment she caught the "key".

"Wet sauce...... No, it's not, it's just a lot like that. Lin shook her head and fixed her eyes on the "key" again, only to confirm that the aura on it was still somewhat different from Aisha's...... But the difference was small, very small, far less than the aura on Liliet.

If you don't distinguish carefully, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference at all, right?

But Lin has been with Aisha for two years, and she has long known the smell and taste of Aisha, and it is not too difficult for her to find the difference - the "key" in front of her is less light and free, and more gentle and clear.

That's supposed to be the feeling of "water".

"My scepter can be picked up by anyone under normal circumstances, but it's just a stick with no appearance. And to unleash all its power, I think that is the only human being that I can grasp, right? And this 'key'. It is similar to the Scepter of Earth, but it is activated at all times and in all placesβ€”if not sealed for the average person. Just approaching will cause a great burden on the body, and life will be consumed quickly, let alone holding it with your own hands. ”

Lynn understood that Liliet's so-called "key to the Blue Tower" must have a direct relationship with the Holy Spirit - if it was expected, it should be the Holy Spirit of Water, right?

"I remember that the Holy Spirit of Water should have been as ...... as the Holy Spirit of Fire Is that the case again......!?"

Another sharp pain ran down her spine and into her brain, and Lynn decisively stopped thinking about anything related to the word "Holy Spirit." Thereupon. The pain is like a tidal wave, and it comes and goes as fast as it comes.

"Is that still the case?"

Lin nodded helplessly, the chaos left behind by the sharp pain just now. It was still in Lynn's mind at the moment, which made Lin a little miserable.

"Okay, don't irritate you anymore. Liliye hurriedly put away the "key", which she said was extremely harmful to humans. The effect is almost radioactive "key". It just fits into a close-fitting pocket.

"It's the key, but it's actually the key to the core pathway. At that time, the ancestors were worried that there might be an accident in the Blue Tower in the future, so they left this 'key' with great power, and its power was enough to suppress a qiΔ“ mutation...... Well, because it's the power of the Holy Spirit of water, it's naturally invincible in the sea. ”

"Is it just the price of use, is it life?"

"There is no way, the Holy Spirit of Water has long ceased to exist. Although it is unknown how the ancestors found and produced the key, it is impossible for the Water Sacrifice to appear again. The treasure full of surging 'blue power' is undoubtedly poisonous to most people. ”

Liliah is a sacrifice of the earth, because the power comes from the same source, so she has not been counterattacked, but this "power of Bi" has not undergone any "dilution", even if she has to allocate a certain amount of mental strength to resist the "power of bi" that washes like a huge wave.

"See, right? If I am only the queen of the southern kingdom, I don't have the courage to go to the Blue Tower alone at this time - at this time, my identity is the 'sacrifice of the earth', whether it is the southern kingdom or the empire, the disputes between countries have nothing to do with me, and the allies I am looking for naturally do not need to consider nationality. ”

β€œ...... I see, when are you leaving?"

Liliet's reason for asking for her help was already clear to Lynn - nothing else, just that she trusted herself because she was Aisha's student.

Even for Aisha's reputation, Lin would not say anything to excuse her at this time.

"Thank you. ”

Lilier didn't stay long in the royal city of Sfiari, and after consulting Lynn, Lin took Lilier and moved directly to the coast she had designated. Liliet's ability to be so quick and easy was also quite shocking, and she herself was able to move in space for short distances with guΓ² spells, but only for short distances. An individual's spiritual power is limited, and without setting up a teleportation array at the destination in advance, the scope of an individual's spiritual power is also extremely limited. Even if it is set up in advance, long-distance spatial movement still requires cumbersome spellcasting and huge mental power.

But looking at Lin's watch, she just closed her eyes and "meditated" for a few seconds, and after that, her face was not red or panting.

"I've heard Sister Aisha mention it before, but I still think it's incredible to see it with my own eyes. ”

"Aha...... Everyone has their own strengths~" Lin was also a little embarrassed to be praised by the beautiful girl, and quickly opened the topic, "Can't we teleport directly to the Blue Tower?" ”

If it is someone else, Lin may not be able to bring it directly, but Lilier's identity as the "Sacrifice of the Earth" does not have to worry about it - with Xiao Wei's logo, she basically has nothing in this world that is considered a "forbidden land", but Lilier may have some "tickets" that cannot be obtained.

After dipping in Lethe herself, Liliye didn't feel any discomfort.

"Even this will not work, after losing the connection with the Blue Tower, we can only find it slowly......" At this point, Liliye's face also carried a hint of gloom and helplessness, "Sounds strange, right? But the actual location coordinates of the Blue Tower are not fixed - it is built on the back of an ancient giant sea beast." ”

No wonder the location of the Blue Tower has never been found, and Lynn only now understands why. If it is built on the back of a huge sea beast, not to mention that the orientation will always change, I am afraid that it will always be buried in the deep sea, right? In the absence of a special means of similar sonar detection, even if the entire sea area is turned over, there is no point......

It's really an insurance practice.

"Then are we going to take our time?"

Lynn looked at Lilier with a strange expression, and pointed to the skyβ€”the weather here was even more gloomy than in Sfia because of the seashore, and even if she had little sailing experience, she would not suspect that a great storm was about to come.

There's not a lot of time left for them.

"Rest assured, there is a key and the approximate location can be determined. By the way, Lynn will you fly?"

Lin originally wanted to answer "no problem", but thinking that Angul seemed to be missing with him now, she could only shake her head regretfully: "It's barely okay with magic, but it's ...... in this weather"

The wind on the beach is a little noisy.

"Then you can hold on to me. ”

As she spoke, Lilier picked up Lin and held her in her arms, and Wind Wings flew directly into the sky with the two of them.

"It turns out that when Lin was holding it, was it so soft?"

"Fly seriously!" (To be continued......)
