On the Seven Towers

During the soul communication, Tasia said: "There must be something weird here. We have to find a way to get in."

Elena said: "I can use my mental power to lift the cloth on the basket. Can Xiaobai steal the stone?"

Xiaobai chirped, and both Tasia and Elena understood its meaning: Wrap it around me.

While the mage and the two guards were preparing to leave with their backs facing this way, Elena used the spiritual thread to lift the cover on the basket and found that it was a toolbox with many iron tools of various shapes placed in it. There are pens and potions for drawing magic circles. It seems that this is an alchemist responsible for maintaining the city defense circle.

Xiaobai got into the basket along the gap created by Elena, and used his claws to grab the crystal. However, he didn't expect that his claws were too small. He even clawed twice and failed to grasp the slippery stone. A crystal that never slips away.

However, at this time, the alchemist reached out to the ring on his hand, preparing to put the entire basket into the storage ring.

Seeing that Xiaobai was about to be imprisoned in the ring together, Tasia quickly came to her senses and mobilized her mental power to form a barrier above the ring. This barrier is close to the surface of the ring. If a high-level mage does not distinguish carefully, it will be difficult to detect changes in the ring.

The alchemist used his mental power to issue a command to open the ring, which directly impacted Tasia's mental power.

Obviously the level of the alchemist's mental power was so different from his that he didn't even notice what his mental power encountered. Just wondering why the ring didn't respond, he put the basket on the ground and began to think about his ring. At this time, Tasia hurriedly removed the mental barrier.

Xiaobai finally figured out a way. He picked up the crystal with two claws, then carefully flew out and handed the crystal into Tasia's hands.

They waited for the alchemist to leave and came to the door of the wall. Tasia put the crystal into a shallow groove, and sure enough, light appeared on the wall again, gradually converging into the shape of a door, and then a hidden stone door slowly opened.

The scene behind the door looks very dreamy. It is a stone path with no end in sight. This stone path is very narrow. Tasia felt like her head was touching the ceiling of the stone path when she walked inside, while Elena had to bend down to move inside. Very complex magic circles are carved on both sides of the stone path and on the ceiling. The lines of these magic circles contain different attributes of magic and emit magic fluorescence of various colors. Walking inside is like walking among a rainbow. The three of them are all in a state of invisibility, and the other person in their respective visions is an image of spiritual power. They appear to be translucent to each other, adding a bit of a dream-like feeling to this passage.

“I have to say, it’s really beautiful here,” Tasia said.

"According to the standards of elves, it's a bit gaudy." Elena paused, "But... after I became a human, I kind of like this style."

Xiaobai also seemed very excited, twisting his body and dancing in the light and shadow.

"Ahem." Tasia came back to her senses, "This should be the magic passage of the city defense barrier. When I was at home, I studied this structure in the family castle. But our barrier is not so advanced. It was painted directly on the ground of the castle, it was just covered with carpet, and it didn’t contain that many magic circles.”

"In other words, the shield raised outside is maintained by the magic power here? Then if we destroy this section of the magic circle, can we destroy the barrier?" Elena asked, although she is stronger than Tasia Slightly stronger, but she was previously a dew priest, and her knowledge of these magic theories related to formations was far less than that of Tasia who liked to study.

Tasia shook her head and said: "It's useless. This kind of city defense array is like a street in a city. There are always several roads leading to important locations. Even if you block one of the roads, the magic power will not flow from here. , can also be reached by other routes.”

Elena put her finger close to a route where magic power was running. The spiritual power that diffused from her fingers instantly blocked the light strip. Then the area where the magic light dimmed became larger and larger. After a few seconds, the radius was ten centimeters. The light within the range was cut off, leaving only a stone wall with grooves on its surface: "It doesn't look very difficult. Then wouldn't it be good if we destroyed enough lines?"

Tasia said: "The problem is that we don't know which lines lead to the same place. Maybe we destroyed ten or eight places, but the city defense barrier is still functioning well.

What's more, I suspect that the control center will monitor each line. Once there is a problem on a certain road, there will be alchemists like just now to check and repair it. Maybe we will find them after we destroy some line sections in the future. The front one has been repaired. "

"What should we do?" Elena asked.

Tasia stared at the light on the wall and thought for a while and said: "Such a large barrier is different from the barrier in my castle. Because my barrier is small, it only needs one point to output the shield energy. But The city of Suero is so big that there must be multiple major nodes to jointly maintain the shield.”

“Just like a wide hall requires more columns to support the roof.”

"That's right. So I guess we should be able to find large nodes along this passage. If the nodes near the west are destroyed, the shield in the attack direction of the escort will be greatly weakened. The enemies at these nodes cannot Maybe if the center is as tightly defended, the chances of success are much greater.”

Elena said, "Let's go, what are you waiting for."

Tasia looked embarrassed: "But now there is a problem."

"What?"

"Where is the west?"

Tasia and Elena looked at each other, and then looked at Xiaobai together. Xiaobai danced in the air for a while, as if to say, how can I know.

————————————

On the ground, Xiao Chen was originally trying to find the location of Tasia and Elena. Suddenly, he felt that the other party sent a message one after another, which seemed very anxious. He thought something major had happened below, so he hurriedly cast a Swiftness spell on himself and started running, trying to find their location as quickly as possible.

The connection between them was a vague feeling, and Xiao Chen could only use the strength of this feeling to judge whether he was close to them. He spent nearly half an hour, sweating all over, and finally reached a position close enough to hear what they said.

What? Where is the west?

Xiao Chen looked up and saw that the sunset was almost hanging on the top of the city. He said, "Can you sense where I am? Just follow the direction I'm running."
