Listening to Federico's "explanation", Talina couldn't help feeling speechless.

She also experienced what Arturo and Loris felt. Not only was it difficult to talk to such a "robot", but you couldn't even keep up with his train of thought.

But Talina knew the priorities and knew now was not the time to argue, so she simply pulled Maria aside, walked to a spot not far from Federico, and asked curiously, "Okay, I'm being reckless, but Mr. Saint, what do you think of this place? Or rather, do you have any ideas?"

"I don't know. The surrounding buildings are real, not created by magic. What is certain is that we have entered another... dimension."

With Maria's light, Federico could see his surroundings clearly.

The place they were in was similar to the bottom of a tall tower. There were no obvious doors or windows around, only a spiral staircase.

"Another dimension? Meaning we might have been under a teleportation spell or something?"

Listening to Federico's explanation, Talina gradually understood the situation.

"Can we still go out then?"

"If we can find the spell's anchor point and destroy it, we have a 65% chance of leaving here. However, I just took a quick look and found no trace of the spell."

"So, this place really exists?"

"Yes."

Federico nodded and stepped onto the stairs first: "I suggest going up, maybe we can find some clues."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After rubbing Maria's soft face twice, Talina followed.

Although Federico was a bit "straightforward", there was nothing wrong with him in other aspects, especially since he obviously had a better grasp of the situation than she did.

There's nothing wrong with a short trip together.

The three of them began to walk upwards. Under the shining "stars" in the sky, the surrounding environment seemed particularly quiet and beautiful.

Talina carefully observed her surroundings, exchanging information with Federico as they walked, and learned about Arturo's news from her.

The three of them continued to walk upwards. In the dark environment, they had no idea how far they had walked.

"We've been gone...for a while, haven't we?"

Maria, who was annoyed by the dark environment, asked.

She really couldn't stand this situation anymore.

On this road, time seems to have become a decoration, and even mobile phones have lost their function.

"Forty-seven minutes and thirty-two seconds."

After reporting the number accurately, Federico looked back at the bottomless road below.

"Judging from our walking speed, we have already walked almost seven kilometers, which is far beyond my original prediction."

"Is it that far?"

Listening to Federico's "counting", Talina couldn't help but become suspicious.

Is this...a ghost wall?

A normal tower would take about half an hour to walk to the end, so why was the one under their feet so strange?

"Could it be...that we've missed some clue? We can't leave here simply by walking?"

Pulling Talina's arm, Maria whispered, "Just like in the story, maybe there's some kind of mechanism hidden somewhere?"

“…you can refer to it.”

After pondering for a while, Federico nodded and agreed with Maria's opinion.

"The surrounding buildings are all made of solid rock. There are no secret doors or anything like that. I will be testing them with force. Please protect yourselves."

Turning around and giving some instructions to Talina and the other two, Federico quickly drew the rifle from his waist.

Apparently, that's what she was talking about.

Pointing the gun at the sky, Federico decisively pulled the trigger.

There was a flash of muzzle fire and a harsh noise echoed in their ears, disturbing them.

Then Federico fired a shot at the walls on the left, right, and below.

The bullet bounced off the wall easily, as if it had hit steel.

The result was what Federico expected.

But Maria saw some clues.

"Why... aren't there any sparks from the friction where it touches the wall?"

Maria asked curiously, reaching out to touch the wall that had just been hit by a bullet.

It's impossible for a wall of this strength to have no reaction when hit by a bullet. Even if no dust falls down, there will at least be some sparks, right?

Volume 8: Chapter 63: Federico's Musical Bacteria

As a blacksmith, Maria is very familiar with these things.

The hardness of these walls exceeded that of many steels she had seen. It was impossible that no sparks would be produced by grinding.

You have to know that Federico has a shotgun in his hand. It is understandable that he can't grind out a single bullet, but if none of the dozens or hundreds of bullets can "shine", then there is a problem.

Either the wall wasn't as "hard" as they thought, or the tower wasn't made of stone at all, but...

"Spell."

Putting away the rifle, Federico reached out to touch the wall again.

He had fallen into a misconception before and subconsciously defined this place as another space.

Since it is another space, perhaps they are still trapped in the previous spell.

No one had ever seen the Witch King, so naturally, they didn't understand what his spells actually did. Illusion? Confinement? Disrupting the mind?

All of these are possible.

Having reached a unanimous consensus, the three stopped and took a break while each looking for possible loopholes or clues.

Anyway, there is probably no point in continuing to walk. Who knows if they can get out.

Temporarily taking back the Wendigo's power, Talina took out Frost Star's blood and poured it into her mouth.

Although he is a self-taught warlock, it is undeniable that Froststar is still the most powerful warlock she knows so far.

Pull out the flag of Jiuling County

Even she can use the power of Frost Star to freeze the turbulent and chaotic sea water, so maybe she can figure out some tricks.

Tapping her fingertips lightly on the "wall", Talina controlled the cold air to radiate in all directions, just like sound waves, wantonly looking for a way out.

At the same time, a simple "map" began to form in Talina's mind.

The moment she saw the map, Talina was stunned for a moment, and then stopped Federico and Maria.

"Don't look for it yet, there is no exit here..."

Frowning, Talina looked up at the "starry sky" above her head and realized something very strange.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Maria, who had the best relationship with Talina, took the lead and came to her side and asked curiously.

Federico also looked over, but because of his habit of being frugal with words, he couldn't open his mouth to ask.

"We've been walking for a long time, but we're just standing still."

Without any further ado, Talina raised her hand, controlled the cold air to condense the moisture in the surrounding air, and constructed a small map in her hand.

It was a map shaped like a "Mobius strip", winding and twisting, with only one path to take.

"Visual effects? Current spells cannot create such a unique space."

Searching for information in his mind, Federico was the first to question.

He could say with certainty that no one could cast a spell of this difficulty. It wasn't that he looked down on it, but the difficulty of casting such a spell was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even with a detailed account, there's basically no hope.

"What if this was performed by Herhunzollon? He is the greatest sorcerer of Terra, unprecedented and unrivalled..."

After smashing the map in her hand, Talina looked around.

Although this spell is a bit outrageous, it does make sense if it is attributed to the Witch King.

After all, before him, no one had been able to create an Originium Storm by hand and fight against an entire Gallic fleet.

Even after his death, the spells he left behind continue to shine in the hands of others. Not to mention the distant past, the recent Ludwig University is a living example.

Even the Black Emperor coveted the inheritance of this "defeated opponent" and was willing to pay any price for it.

This is enough to show his amazing talent.

"Impossible. The Witch King Herhunzoron was defeated and killed by the Twin Queens twenty-three years ago. The news was published in the newspapers, and his body was cremated and buried under the Great Library of Leithnia. He cannot possibly still be alive."

Shaking his head firmly in denial, Federico revealed all the news about the Witch King in detail.

He even knew exactly where the Witch King was buried after his death.

This made Talina look at him more.

"There's no need for him to be alive. Whether it's a residual image or a pre-planned backup plan, we just need to know that this was the work of the Witch King."

"Now that I know, I can guess based on his habits. This depends on you. After all..."

"You even figured out where his 'home' is. You must also remember his life events, temper, habits, and so on, right?"

Clapping her hands, Talina dispersed the power of Frost Star, reducing her own physical exertion.

"...Golden Rule."

After a brief thought, Federico gave his answer.

Since they were brought here by the resonance technique of the Golden Rule Music, perhaps they can also leave here by using the resonance technique of the Golden Rule Music.

"This... is a bit difficult..."

After listening to the solution given by Federico, Talina felt embarrassed.

If it is true that they can use the power of the Golden Rule to get out as Federico said, then it will be no less difficult for them than breaking it directly with violence.

Although she had listened to a performance of the Golden Rule outside, her memory was obviously not enough for her to remember the ten chapters and three major melodies.

"I remember."

The calm Federico lived up to everyone's expectations and "stood up".

"Even if you remember we didn't have any instruments to play..."

Talina, who was still at a loss as to what to do, had just woken up and started to remind him when she saw Federico take out a harmonica from his trouser pocket.

Judging from the shape, it is obviously the same style as Arturo's.

Wisely keeping their mouths shut, Talina and Maria stood aside, quietly waiting for Federico's performance.

Putting the harmonica to his lips, Federico "tuned" out the melody of the Golden Rule in his mind and began to play.

Then...

Talina regretted letting Federico "perform".

The shrill and piercing noise coming out of the harmonica gave Talina and Maria, who were watching from the side, goose bumps all over their bodies.

Talina never thought that she would be able to hear such a pig-slaughtering performance in her lifetime. This is no longer music, it is naked noise!

But despite this, she did not rush forward to stop it, because under Federico's "performance", golden particles appeared out of thin air and surrounded him.

This is the prelude to the resonance of the golden rhythm, and it is also the reason why Talina has been reluctant to "eliminate the evil".

Although Federico's playing was not very pleasant, he did produce some effect.

Just bear with it...

Endure it and it will pass.

Covering their ears, Talina and Maria snuggled together in the corner, trembling at the sight of Federico displaying his might.

After about ten minutes, Federico's performance came to an end.

The surrounding walls began to shake violently, and small pieces of rubble continued to fall from great heights.
