Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 109 Blood Cloud Castle

In the boundless Gobi desert, two figures faintly approached from the skyline.It was Woz and Mirajane and their party.

After several days of running around, Woz's body has recovered a lot, at least he no longer needs to rely on Mirajane's support to walk.Although the environment is very harsh and the climate is dry and hot, it is not difficult for the two of them.Especially Woz, after coming to the desert area, he quickly untied a little seal. Although it would not allow him to use ice modeling magic, it is indeed a good way to cool down.Create a cool low-temperature zone around the body, enclosing Mirajane in it, no matter how hot the weather is, it will not affect them.

In order to find Heiberian, Woz followed the information and plunged into the desert deep in the continent of Ishgar.

On the train before, when she learned that the "teacher" Woz was looking for was this one, Erza was as surprised as Mirajane when she heard Woz's decision for the first time.Because the name Heyberian is really shocking!Ordinary people may not know it, but as long as they are wizards, they must have heard of this name, and if it is another title, I am afraid that even ordinary people will be shocked!
The second seat of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar, the "Nobility of Blood".The man believed to be the last remaining vampire in the world.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar are the top four of the top ten holy wizards. No matter how the rankings of the top ten holy wizards change, these four positions have not been shaken for decades.In other words, those four immortal guys have been dominating the throne of the strongest wizards in Ishgar for half a century!

Because it has been a long time since they became famous, the Four Heavenly Kings have already faded out of people's sight or lived in seclusion or escaped far away, but this has not affected their prestige on this continent at all. Added a bit of legendary color and became a living myth.

Even Makarov, who is also one of the top ten wizards, has to show respect to them—because any one of them can be Makarov's grandfather just because of their age.

How can it not be surprising to hear that Woz can contact one of the Four Heavenly Kings?It was also when she learned that she was going to look for Heiberian, Mirajane became more determined to go with Woz: she also wanted to seek a way to unlock her magic seal from that senior!
When Erza asked Woz how he met Heiberian, Woz turned over his book, and among the many signature pages, there was the name "Heiberian".This made the two women even more curious about the signatures collected by Woz, and even grabbed the book with great interest and flipped through it for a long time to see if they could find the names of other famous people.

However, Woz saw Heiberian once nearly ten years ago when he searched for Urrutia's whereabouts all over the world.There is no friendship, let alone information about his whereabouts.

You must know that after withdrawing from the arena, the personal information of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar has long been the highest secret of the Senate.Moreover, even the Senate cannot fully grasp the whereabouts of the four of them.

Volod Sinken drilled into the wilderness to plant trees for public welfare; Ulufkh Im and Heyberian traveled around the world and became wandering wizards; The ocean is going to the Western Continent... One by one, they are afraid that they will not go far enough, or run far enough.

But no matter where they go, there is one place that holds their information, and that is the Great Library of Babel.

Moreover, Woz has the status of "Honorary Curator".So Woz easily inquired about Heiberian's location information, and asked the Keeper's system to greet Heiberian in advance, telling him that he was going to learn magic.

Woz's move seemed a little unreasonable. He obviously didn't have much friendship with Heiberian, but he still had a familiar tone, and he directly conveyed the message in an equal tone without worrying about being rejected by the other party.

Because Hei Berrien is also the "Honorary Curator", from this point of view, the two are really on the same level!

Speaking of which, the "Honorary Director" of the Tower of Babel is really not very particular. It is just an honorary title and does not have much authority.The only convenience is that you can read all the books and documents in the Tower of Babel at will, and you can lead people who don't have a "reading card" into the Tower of Babel... that's all.

But at this age, it is really not easy to get this honorary title.Sufficient contributions must be made to the great library.Heiberian was awarded the title of "Honorary Curator" by donating thousands of ancient books handed down by his family.

As for Woz, he patted the magic book on his waist. It was not as good as Heibelian in terms of quality, but it surpassed him by a few blocks in terms of quantity.At that time, when all the contents of Woz's magic book were copied to the Great Library, the endless collection of books in the Great Library actually showed a slight increase!It is precisely because of such a feat that Woz became the youngest "honorary curator" in the history of the Tower of Babel.

With such a common identity as a medium, the relationship between Woz and Heiberian is naturally much closer.

That's why Woz set off so confidently.

But now the two trekked in the desert for several days and found nothing, which made Mirajane a little worried about whether the information was wrong.

Woz flipped through the book and checked the map: "The keeper can't make mistakes. It's just that the castle of Heyberion may have been blessed with an anti-detection enchantment, which can't be clearly shown on the map. But what is certain is that right here It's near."

"Did you say that the castle of Heyberion is a self-propelled magical building?" Mirajane asked.

"That's right!" Woz nodded, "After all, he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Even a wandering mage is so domineering, he just took the house with him!"

Mirajane pointed to the distance: "Is it the building that is approaching?"

Woz raised his eyes from the book, and found a scarlet cloud flying close to the ground in the distance, rolling up yellow sand all the way, and the momentum was extremely huge.In the thick public clouds, the ancient stone walls and towers can be vaguely seen.

Even though there are still more than ten kilometers away, people can still feel a strong smell of blood through the scarlet cloud.

"Can the current magic technology make the castle fly?" Mirajane asked.The castle in front of me is really not a "self-propelled" building, but a flying building!

"This... I don't know very well." Woz doesn't know much about these technologies, but with the strength and magical attainments of the Four Heavenly Kings, it is not too difficult to raise a castle to the sky.

"Besides, it really means 'nobility of blood'!" Woz looked at it with great interest.

Soon, Wozmila and Jenny joined the Flying Castle.After getting close, the two realized that the strong smell of blood was not an illusion, and that this red cloud was probably really made of countless blood.

It is impossible for Heiberian to do such a thing!Woz immediately doubted the authenticity of the castle.He looked over with all his eyesight, and with his "reading" talent, Woz only saw a blood cloud that was as vast as the blood cloud outside the castle, full of bloodthirsty and ferocious breath, and even began to affect Woz's emotions!
"No, let's go!" Woz shuddered, grabbed Mirajane's hand and was about to back away.

But it was too late, the blood cloud "lived" as if it had a spirituality, and it quickly opened up like a beast rushing to eat, "swallowing" Woz and Mirajane into it!
Inside the thick blood cloud, like a sticky mass of plasma, tightly wrapped Woz's body, and kept trying to squeeze into Woz's body.Woz certainly didn't dare to let this kind of unkind thing invade his body, and struggled hard.

But soon, the hand that Woz had been holding tightly with Mirajane was pulled by a strong force, pulling Woz out of the range of the blood cloud.

After escaping from birth, Woz gasped for breath. He almost suffocated in the blood cloud just now!But Mirajane looked relaxed and at ease, apparently not being tortured like Woz, and even had the strength to save Woz.

After calming down, Woz found to his distress that they still hadn't escaped, and now they were in a dilapidated and abandoned castle—they passed through the outer blood cloud and entered the interior of the castle!
This is definitely not High Berrien's residence, and Mirajane and Woz are very sure about it.This castle has obviously been unoccupied for hundreds of years, and only a rough frame structure remains in the deserted.Although I don't know what caused this castle that didn't know where it was originally located to fly up, and there is a terrible habit of "swallowing people", and there is an evil atmosphere everywhere; but Woz and Mirajane are not afraid of it. , but quickly scanned the main hall of the castle with full experience, observing the terrain and guarding against possible dangers.

After the inspection, Mirajane quietly followed behind Woz by half a step.She knew very well that she was incapable of fighting at this time, and could only rely on Woz to protect herself in such an emergency.All she could do was try not to trouble Woz.

But what is strange is that although the blood cloud outside is full of bloody smell, it is even certain that it was formed by countless blood donations; but inside the castle, even if it is close to the blood cloud, Mirajane does not No matter how bloody it feels, the air here is surprisingly "clean"!

It's like...something cleaned the gore from inside.

There are still a lot of claw marks on the mottled and vicissitudes of the stone wall, which seems to be left by some monsters here.

Moreover, these claw marks are very new, so it is very likely that there is something else in this castle!
