On the Seven Towers

On a dim street corner in the civilian area of ​​the royal capital, two five or six-year-old children in ragged clothes were running and playing. Suddenly, a magic circle formed by runes shone on the ground. This sight, which they had never seen before, aroused their curiosity. Two children came over to watch. One of them couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the runes. At this time, the gorgeous runes connected into a circular array, and then a powerful air flow spurted out from the array, directly blowing the two The children were thrown away. One child fell to the ground and howled loudly. The other child hit his head on the wall and fainted, with blood flowing all over the floor.

The light of the teleportation magic dissipated, and it was Master Kona and Lorenzo who appeared. They looked very nervous, each still making gestures to cast spells. One second they were still on the battlefield of the Saint, working hard to cast spells and fight, and the next second they were standing in the alley of the royal capital.

Master Kona saw the crying child sitting on the ground, and with a wave of his hand, the child passed out. He looked around and said, "This is the civilian area of ​​the royal capital."

"He is a saint after all. He can still teleport so accurately in a hurry. I just don't know how the battle situation over there will develop." Lorenzo said.

"You don't have to worry about this now. We will go in two directions. I will go to the Royal Magic Tower to find other people to support Saint Sasuo. Don't go, go directly to the Chinese." Master Kona said.

"Chinese?"

"You heard what Saint Sasuo said before. I am afraid that the reappearance of the Seven Holy Towers will fall on the Chinese. As the successor of the Talisman Tower, you should stand with them. Besides, if something really happens, Unexpectedly, you can help. This is a good opportunity for you to reconcile with them." Master Kona said as he activated the teleportation circle on his bracelet. His body was once again surrounded by the light of magic, and he disappeared in the alley a moment later. mouth.

Lorenzo looked back at the bleeding and unconscious child, walked to him and squatted down, cast a healing spell to stop the bleeding on his head, then put on the hood of his mage robe and walked to the other side of the river. go.

After Master Kona finished teleporting, he appeared in his own room in the Tower of God Refining. However, when he opened his eyes, there were actually two women in the room that was supposed to be empty. One was a white-haired woman wearing a blue robe, with a coldness all over her body. The other is a brown-haired woman wearing a white robe, giving people a very gentle feeling.

Master Kona asked: "Leila? Almeida? Why do you appear in my room?"

There was a hint of hesitation on the cold face of Master Layla of the Ice Tower. She glanced at Almeida, the master of the Healer Tower beside her, and hinted at him with a look to speak.

Almeida sighed and said: "Recently, during the days when you and Saint Sasso left, some changes occurred in the capital. The two of us would like to give you an explanation here."

Master Kona said: "The current situation is very urgent. Venegas attacked Saint Sasso and me outside a ruins. Now we must mobilize manpower to support us. There is no time to waste here."

"It's too late. The battle should have been over at this point. Not only Venegas, but also the Assassin of Light, Kiros, is there. Lord Venegas has no chance. Moreover, you can't find someone willing to The person who went with you." There was a bit of sadness on Almeida's face, which was connected with her gentle and holy temperament, and she felt very compassionate.

Master Kona took out a wand from the storage ring and prepared for battle: "Almeida, you actually knew about this in advance! Did you participate in arranging this attack? Layla, did you also know? What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Almeida raised her hands to indicate that she did not want to fight Kona. She said softly: "After you left, Gibran, the Golden Bough Priest of the Temple of Nature, secretly came to the royal capital. He did not come empty-handed, but brought something with him. Then the oracle."

"Oracle! Has the God of Nature awakened in advance?" Master Kona asked in surprise.

"No, but with the power of God, it shouldn't be very difficult to convey a message before waking up," Almeida said.

Kona said disdainfully: "Aren't the oracles oracles all said by that old magician Gibran? How do you know it's not him who is deceiving you?"

"Because we saw the oracle, heard the oracle, and felt the power in the oracle. It is indeed a completely different power from magic." Almeida said. She took out an image crystal from her storage ring and said, "In order to convince you, I specially brought this so that you can witness the scene at that time."

Almeida projected the image in the crystal on the wall. In the image, in a secret meeting room of the Magic Association, a group of mages surrounded an old man wearing a priest's robe.

The old man is none other than the Golden Bough Priest Gibran. He took out a light ball from his storage ring. The surrounding mages all let out a sound of exclamation, and several even took a few steps back. Even the person taking the photo with the image crystal took a step back involuntarily.

"You can't feel the power of the oracle from here. But as soon as the light appeared, we felt an ancient and powerful pressure. This kind of power we have never felt even in the saints. It makes people It’s difficult to bring up the emotion of confrontation, which makes people think of the word surrender,” Almeida explained for Kona.

"Yes. I was also there. I felt at that time that if the consciousness in that light ball wanted to kill me, I couldn't even muster the will to resist. It felt terrible, like a mouse being watched by a cat all the time. It feels like something. No, it should feel like a mouse being stared at by a giant dragon." Leila, who remained silent, said.

The light was not a stable light source, but consisted of a flowing green stream. It kept changing, turning into a crystal green leaf for a while, and a green flower for a while. This change gave people an extremely mysterious feeling, and made all the mages present look at it intently.

"When I looked at this light ball, I realized that it seemed to contain some kind of rules. All the other mages felt the same way. We were all attracted to it without knowing it," Almeida said.

Master Kona said disdainfully: "Huh, it's just a trick of spiritual magic. This way of attracting attention can also be used by the God Refining Tower. It's just that you are all frightened by the name of the so-called god, that's why there is such a thing Effect."

The light group changed for a while, and finally a vague male voice came from inside: "Anyone who surrenders to me can have power. Anyone who betrays me will be reduced to the mortal world. Even if you are rebellious like a mage, I will give you a glimmer of strength." Chance."
