Wizard From Afar

Pass through the gate of the colonnade palace. Behind the gate is a long bridge that is the same as before. The endless white steps form a huge platform after another. Seeing that it is connected to the destroyed spiral tower, the converging road continues to the top of the royal city.

The Dragon King Tower.

Isaac stood there in a daze, while the black hair wizard remained silent from start to finish, squinting at the magnificent scene before him.

The towering towers, the pure white stone platform steps, the magnificent carvings... everything, as if there hasn't been the slightest change in thousands of years, it will always maintain its original appearance.

Niederhogg, Everlasting Country towering above the top of the cloud.

The stunned Isaac simply exhibited one's feelings in one's speech, and the corner of Loren's eyes also showed a trace of surprise, a completely unexpected expression.

Because it is here, from the long bridge to the stairs to the outside of the Dragon King's tower... unexpectedly there is not even a guard!

Of course, it may have been like this-according to the distribution of the entire giant dragon king city, outside the elevated corridor is the'civilian area'. After arriving at the first gate, it is considered to enter the king city, followed by large And small spires and palace pavilions... Finally, it’s the Dragon King tower in front of you.

According to the distribution of the entire giant dragon king city, the "level" here even surpasses the royal palace; if you compare it with the Sacrament Empire, it is roughly equivalent to the cathedral of Holy Cross Church.

In such a sacred place, outsiders should not be allowed to set foot.

The palace behind him heard fierce fighting and vibrations. Loren turned his head and calmly looked towards his friend:

"Isaac, we should set off."

p>

"Ah, yeah, it's time to start; after having suffered so much, from Eboden to Blood Skeleton Valley to Niederhogg... the long distance is just for this short flight of stairs. "

The muttering Isaac muttered to himself, and glanced at Loren without a trace: "Do you think Lucien can survive and join us?"

Loren was silent for a moment, heavily sighed:

"I don’t know if he can defeat the dragon hunter guard and survive, but... if we turn around and help him now, we will really fail. "He chose to face his destiny here, so he should be allowed to face it."

Isaac slowly lowered his head, his eyes burning but motionless .

"It's not a shit fate, it's not like this." Isaac suddenly opened the mouth and said in a low voice: "That guy...he is just a simple fool, desperately trying to repay your kindness. ——Unfortunately, I thought this precocious kid was very clever, and in the end it was just a potato with water in his head!"

"To be honest, at first I knew that my dad was taken as a deserter because of this kid. When I died, I actually wanted to kill him-although this kind of irrational emotional thinking shouldn't happen to this genius."

"But... although time is still very long Short, unconsciously, I don’t know why, I have regarded this little potato as a friend, Loren."

"Lu Sien, it’s mine, our friend."

Loren slightly nodded, he can feel the weight in Isaac's words.

"We should go, Loren." Isaac opened the mouth and said in a low voice.

"Well, let's go." The black hair wizard's expression is also solemn:

Crossing the long bridge, the two walking side by side stepped on the cascading stairs—— Compared with the elevated corridors that I have passed through, this section of the road is not too long, and it can even be called relaxing and cozy.

But for some reason, both of them walked very slowly.

The moment the black hair wizard arrived at the gate of the Dragon King’s Tower, the black hair wizard felt the strong fluctuations of void power almost immediately. It's as if they are summoning them.

The inexplicable weirdness and icy stimulation rise in the mind, which made Loren instinctively vigilant-such a powerful void power, he has only personally felt and experienced it in one place.

Eboden Sewer, the "real" nine-pointed star wizard tower shaped by the Holy Grail of the nine-pointed star.

At the end of the road, is the gate of the Dragon King Tower-the gorgeous gate exactly similar to the Jinbei Hall. Just standing in front of it can feel the pure, constantly surging void power. Mixed with the completely contradictory breath of frenzy and tranquility.

Loren stepped forward and gently pressed one of the doors, while Isaac on the side pressed the other; at this moment, Isaac's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, as if he was preparing to go on a pilgrimage. Of believers.

"Are you ready?" the black hair wizard asked.

Isaac solemnly nodded, the right hand holding on to the door even trembling slightly: "No matter what is about to appear, this is our own choice."

"Go Let’s see the truth about a thousand years ago, let Logan open the wizard era!"

…………………………………………………………………… ……

white light, the pure white rays of light instantly enveloped the vision of the black hair wizard.

Even thinking, spirit, and consciousness all become extremely blank, in an instant everything seems to have become eternal.

It wasn't until the leisurely bell came from "distance" again that the continuous sound of waves gradually awakened him from the silence.

There is no sense of weightlessness, no fall, and no collapse of the sky and the earth... It seems that I have only experienced a meditation, and even my consciousness has not really been separated from the body.

There is a hard ground under the feet, the surrounding air cannot feel the flow, and there seems to be no change in temperature difference.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the sight in front of me made the black hair wizard tremble suddenly——!

There are no walls, no eaves, no spiral stairs, and everything that should have been...the emptiness around, there is only the Boundless Starry Sky with no edge in sight!

As for where I stand, it seems to be a high black tower in the center of this "starry sky", shining like obsidian against the surrounding stars.

At the moment of seeing this scene, Loren almost immediately recalled the heretical temple of Asriel for the first time-in comparison, there seemed to be no difference.

In other words, is this place also completely distorted by the power of the void?

Loren subconsciously tried to connect with a certain teenager, but he didn't feel the presence of the other person at all—it seems that the power here can still completely separate the connection between himself and Asriel.

Wait...If this is really a distorted space by the void, maybe it can...

"If I were you, I wouldn't risk making such a senseless attempt ."

An extremely ethereal voice came from behind, preventing the black hair wizard who wanted to step out to the edge of the tower, and there seemed to be a sigh in the words.

Turning his head calmly, Loren's dark pupils reflected the silhouette of a dead man.

To be more precise, a skeleton in a tattered robe, with only the last bit of flesh left on his body, with gray and blue fire shining in his eye sockets.

"You don't seem to be surprised, and you don't have the slightest nervousness." The ethereal voice came, and only the bones of the hands were crossed in front of you:

" In other words...this is not the first time you have seen a similar scene?"

"Is that right, so to speak."

Slightly squinted his eyes, and the black hair wizard used it Look at the opponent carefully as quickly as possible-in any case, the almost ethereal voice is definitely not coming from the few festering flesh left between the opponent's neck.

"Under Loren, Loren Torino, is a wizard who followed the footsteps of the sages to visit here." Loren calmly opened the mouth and said:

"In you absolutely How to deal with me, an intruder who doesn’t presume to visit, can you tell me a little bit, at least let me know who I’m talking to?"

The skeleton paused for a moment, Loren It seems that I felt the emotion of "hesitation" from the other party, and I don't know if it's just my own illusion.

"A very reasonable request."

The skeleton floating in midair slightly:

"I once had my own name, a certain meaning As mentioned above, I was once a'wizard'...Although it should be different from what you understand."

"But now...you still call me the'Gravekeeper'."
