Chapter 80: The Old Man in the White Tower

In a huge cave hidden in the Alps, the two of them looked at the scene in the cave and walked slowly forward.

The further you go into the cave, the warmer it gets, and the inside is much more comfortable than the snow outside.

The large white shadow stopped, and the white-haired monster turned to the two of them.

"You said something asked me, what's the matter?"

"Uh...... What should I call you?"

"My name is Bai Ze, whatever you want to call it, I don't care. Bai Ze was licking his hair with his tongue, and the contrast between the snow white and the darkness was obvious.

"Senior Bai, I came to ask you, my grandfather came here a few years ago, what did he do?"

"Your grandfather?" Bai Ze stopped moving, his eyes staring at Gu Xiaobai, "Who is your grandfather?"

"Gu Xianhua, I came here a long time ago, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't left here since then, right?" Wang Meike said.

"You little girl is a little interesting, how do you know?"

"Then you mean to remember?" Gu Xiaobai hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, how can you forget, it's the old man who used the wind attribute ability, thanks to him, I have been under house arrest here, and you are actually his grandson?" Bai Ze's expression began to distort, because Gu Xiaobai's ability was exactly the same as that old man for many years, which instantly reminded him of the humiliating years he had.

"Could it be that my grandfather is here to put you under house arrest?" Gu Xiaobai asked.

"You'd better stop repeating this word, if it weren't for your identity, I would have torn you to shreds!"

Bai Ze's momentum swept through the entire cave in an instant, and the momentum mixed with thunder light penetrated Gu Xiaobai's body, and he almost lost consciousness for a short time.

The two finally had a chance to breathe, and hurriedly gasped for breath.

"Your grandfather is here for more than that, though. ”

Gu Xiaobai looked at Bai Ze while panting.

"Promise me one thing, if you can do it, I'll tell you. ”

Although Gu Xiaobai felt that he would be fooled, he could only nod and agree.

"Just help me get out of house arrest. Bai Ze's eyes seemed to have a white light, which was a wish he had longed for for many years.

"What is it that puts you under house arrest? is it a seal? or something?"

"It's personal. ”

"Who?"

"At the foot of the hill to the south, there is a stubborn old man, and in your capacity you may be able to convince him to try, and if I can regain my freedom, I will tell you what happened that day. ”

The two of them walked out of the cave, which was so condescending that they could see the scene at the foot of the mountain at a glance, and looking to the south that Bai Ze said, the most conspicuous thing was the white tower.

"Do you really want to do what he says?" Wang Meike asked.

"So what to do, I'm here, I have to find out what my grandfather told him at the time. ”

Wang Meike shook her head helplessly, she began to regret telling him this clue.

The two of them walked down the ridge, aiming for the towering White Tower.

"You'd better be careful. Deep in my heart, a hideous voice sounded without warning.

"What?"

"Be careful with the woman next to you. The tone of the hideous was serious.

"Why?" Gu Xiaobai subconsciously glanced at Wang Meike, who was playing in the snow like a child at this time.

"She's strong, at least not weaker than that white ghost. ”

"What, really, fake?" Gu Xiaobai's eyes became surprised when he looked at Wang Meike.

"Believe it or not, be careful, with her strength, she should be able to strangle you at any time. ”

After speaking, the fox once again lost his senses, while Gu Xiaobai looked at the woman beside him motionlessly.

"What's wrong? Look at me like that. Wang Meike felt his eyes and asked curiously.

"Ah, nothing. ”

"Do you like me?" Wang Mei smiled and leaned over.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Gu Xiaobai suddenly spoke.

"Afraid of what?"

"Bai Ze, he's so strong, why don't you look scared at all?"

Wang Mei said with a smile: "Because of you, didn't I say it, I feel very safe when you are by my side." ”

"Really?" Gu Xiaobai raised his feet and walked forward.

Sure enough, it was "a dead horse running from the lookout mountain, and a dead man running from the watchtower", and it was already midnight when the two reached the foot of the mountain.

Curiously, there is no construction around other than this tower, and there is no sign of anyone surviving.

Lights could be faintly seen on the White Tower, and the two knocked on the only door of the White Tower.

After a long time, the tower door slowly opened, and out of her head was a wrinkled old lady, who saw the two of them and smiled.

"Young man, are you lost?"

"We have something to look for the owner of this tower. ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced inside.

"Please come in, no one has been here for a long time, and even if anyone comes, they all ask about the role of this tower, and you are the first to say that you are looking for the master. ”

Walking into the tower, the temperature around them suddenly rose a little, it turned out that the space in the tower was bigger than they imagined, the red flame rose from the stove in the center of the room, almost all the furniture was made of wood, and just by looking at it, they knew that they were not young.

"What are you looking for my old man?" asked the old lady.

"We have come to beg him to release the one on the mountain. ”

The old lady sighed and said, "I have already guessed, you go and tell him for yourselves, but don't expect too much from it, he is a very stubborn man, and this is what he promised to a former benefactor, for which he has been here for more than ten years." ”

The staircase in the tower was also made of solid wood, and there was a "creaking" sound when they walked on it, and they spiraled up the stairs to the second floor, a dimly lit room, where the two saw an old man with a haggard face.

"His body is no longer good, and he hasn't been out of the tower for about a year. ”

The old man was lying on the bed, the dim light shining on his face, and he was already in his last years.

The old man seemed to be aware of the arrival of the two, and reluctantly sat up, leaning against the pillow and opening his eyes with difficulty.

"Are you...... Are you a descendant of that one?" the old man recognized Gu Xiaobai at the first glance.

"Do you know my grandfather Gu Xianhua?"

"Of course I know him, I've lived my whole life to repay his kindness, it's great to see you before I die!" the old man looked excited, and his body trembled violently.

"Sir, we have come to beg you to let that guy on the mountain go free. ”

The old man suddenly stopped trembling, and then shook his head desperately.

"No, absolutely not, that's what your grandfather specially instructed me. ”

"Why?"

The old man coughed a few times and said slowly: "I don't know the specific reason, but since your grandfather said it, it must be right, and he must not be let go." ”

"Wait, the breath on your body, why do you have the breath of a 'strange beast'?"

"What is a beast?"

"That guy on the mountain is a strange beast, tell me quickly, why do you have the breath of a foreign beast?"

A hideous phantom suddenly appeared behind Gu Xiaobai.

"Are you...... Alien beast?!" The old man's pupils dilated, and he looked at the shadow in disbelief.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the huge phantom of the beast stood behind Gu Xiaobai, silently looking at the dying old man in front of him.

"Sure enough, there is more than that Bai Ze in the strange beast, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" the old man sighed heavily.

"What the hell is a beast?"

The old man said slowly: "I only know that they suddenly appeared in this world, your grandfather and they kept fighting to stop the strange beasts from messing around in the world, and I have been staying here to prevent the strange beast named Bai Ze from escaping in order to repay his favor many years ago." ”

"Then do you know what my grandfather said to that guy named Bai Ze at that time?"

The old man shook his head, signaling that he had nothing to say.

"In short, I will never agree to you, even if you are the descendant of a benefactor, that Bai Ze has a strange temper, if he is allowed to regain his freedom, it will definitely be a disaster for the world. ”

"But how did you put him under house arrest here?" Wang Meike asked suddenly.

"It's very simple, my ability is just to restrain his thunder and lightning, and with the help of your grandfather, I sealed the entire snowy mountain with my ability, and he can't escape from here. ”

"But......" The old man suddenly changed his words.

"My life is short, and if I die, I'm afraid this seal will be invalid. ”

"Don't say that, old thing!" the old man's wife couldn't help but redden.

"If you must set him free, you can wait until I die. ”

"Don't say that, old sir. Gu Xiaobai said with some embarrassment.

"Before I die, at least let me fulfill my promise to your grandfather. ”

"Okay, okay, don't irritate him," the old lady couldn't help but interrupt their conversation, "since you're here, let's stay here for the night." ”

Gu Xiaobai glanced at the old man again, he lowered his head thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two were arranged in the room on the second floor, while Wang Meike went to bed early because of the fatigue of the day, and Gu Xiaobai looked out the window blankly.

"Ahem...... What are you thinking?"

"What the hell are you beasts, and why did my grandfather and sapa choose to lock you up?"

"Hehe, this question of yours is also what I want to ask, I just chose a place to settle back then, I never thought about doing anything to you humans, but that old woman wants to seal me indiscriminately, and Bai Ze is too, although he has a bad temper, he will never disturb humans, but you humans, expand the territory more and more, and leave no space for us. ”

Gu Xiaobai felt a deep reproach from his tone, like a wronged child.

"I guess there's some misunderstanding in it. Gu Xiaobai guessed awkwardly.

"I'm not interested in whether you can release Bai Ze at all, the outside world may no longer be suitable for us, maybe it's better to stay in your body. ”

Gu Xiaobai sighed helplessly, the outside world was pitch black, and he couldn't see any light at all.
