"Isn't this a matter of course? Ma'am, if you don't mind, how about coming to my house and resting for a while?"
Coming to Viviana's side, Yulia supported the unconscious Kela for her, helping Viviana share some of the pressure.
"Is this... okay?"
After hesitating for a moment, a moved look appeared on Viviana's face.
Kela's current condition is obviously not suitable for traveling, and it would be great if there was a place to rest.
"It's okay. By the way, I have some commonly used medicines at home. Don't look at me like this. I studied medicine in school."
"In that case... then I'll trouble you."
At Yulia's kind invitation, Viviana had no choice but to nod in agreement and followed Yulia towards her home.
On the other side, the three people who walked to the foot of the tower stopped at the same time, looking solemnly at the warlocks standing on the platform with white symbols on their heads.
Volume 8: Chapter 67: Climbing
"Huh... These guys are so difficult to deal with..."
Shaking off the blood on Youyan's blade, and looking at the "remnants of the Witch King" turned into ashes in front of her, Talina raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and spoke with a sigh.
Around them, Federico and Maria also dealt with their respective enemies and began to gather around her.
"Their strength...is different from that of the outside world. They seem to have no rationality and fight only on instinct."
Squinting his eyes at the empty ground, Federico told the clues he had just discovered during the battle.
"Well, they are 'dead' and can only swing their swords based on instinct. They are obviously the Witch King's personal guards, but they can't even use a spell. This is obviously abnormal."
Nodding, Talina agreed with Federico's idea.
These guys who were called the remnants of the Witch King in the outside world have transformed themselves into the Witch King's personal guards here, just like the Voice of the Queen.
Although they are dead, their physical strength has not been reduced at all, and each of them has the strength of a competitive knight champion.
In other words, they have no thinking or rationality, and are basically the same as robots. They act entirely on instinct, which is why they have a great advantage.
Otherwise, these four alone would be enough to chase them away, let alone fight.
"So, do we go in now or wait here for the others?"
Talina's brain was recognized by Federico, who was impressed by her worldly wisdom and began to actively inquire about the next journey.
It was true that they had just made a big noise here, but due to the vast area, the noise didn't actually travel very far.
Now that they had fought and pried open the door, the question became whether to continue waiting outside for anyone who might come, or to risk entering the tower in front of them.
In Federico's mind, he should wait and see for a while, but he somehow gave up the choice.
"Wait half an hour. If no one comes after half an hour, we can talk later."
After thinking for a while, she made a decision and found a place to sit down to recover her strength.
The other two did not object and each found a place to rest.
Next to Talina, Maria looked at the fake starry sky and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Unconsciously leaning towards Talina and playing with her fingers, Maria whispered something.
"You said... can we go out?"
Maria asked with some concern, her eyes clear and innocent.
It's no wonder she said such demoralizing words. She had just left the house and actually had always had a resistance to the outside world.
Rather than traveling, she prefers to stay at home and smash things with a hammer.
This time, I followed Talina to Letania just for my parents and a little bit of thought.
She was a little worried about the tower that they couldn't get out of no matter what. If Federico hadn't played the Golden Rule, they might still be trapped inside.
With all these emotions combined, she said these words, inspired by Arturo's piano playing.
"Don't worry, we can definitely get out. I still have to take you to find your uncle and aunt, right?"
Sensitively sensing Maria's worry, Talina smiled happily, reached out and stroked the other's head, comforting the "little" one.
Maria now is just like when she first went out. She is afraid of the unknown of strange things.
Not to mention encountering a hellish dungeon like Letania as soon as you go out.
Although this was not in line with Maria's usual behavior, Talina still took her into her arms and comforted her.
With someone to rely on, Maria's worries were reduced a lot, and her troubled heart beat faster unconsciously.
Listening to Talina's heartbeat, Maria unconsciously began to control her breathing. The heartbeats of both of them gradually became calmer, turning from chaos to tranquility.
Finally, the two people's heartbeats reached the same frequency.
In such a quiet atmosphere, half an hour passed quickly. The three people who had rested well walked into the tower one after another according to the decision they had made before.
"This place... feels so weird..."
Looking up at the group of people chatting around her, Lingtalinna did not move forward rashly, but stood where she was and observed.
It’s not that this is a covered slaughterhouse. On the contrary, the environment here is elegant and comfortable, and you can tell at a glance that this is where the rich and powerful come from.
Even she, who is a happy-go-lucky person, couldn't help but want to live here permanently.
This was a thought that came from the bottom of her heart, not something that came to her mind on a whim, so she was extremely wary.
There were oil paintings and musical instruments placed around, the environment was clean and tidy, she didn't even see a speck of dust on the ground, and the chandelier on the ceiling was emitting a faint fluorescent light.
At first glance, this place looks like a noble's bedroom, but it's only the bottom floor of a tall tower, and...
It wasn't like this when they just looked outside...
"A hallucination?"
Pulling out his shotgun, Federico aimed it at the sofa on the side and pulled the trigger.
He planned to replicate his previous actions and verify them with force.
But before he could pull the trigger, he was stopped by Talina.
"Don't worry... This shouldn't be an illusion. When we came in just now, I felt the same special fluctuation as before."
Placing her hand on the barrel of Federico's gun, Talina gently pressed down Federico's shotgun.
It was okay when I was in the tower before. Even if I shot a bullet downwards, it wouldn’t bounce back. But now it’s different in an enclosed space. Who knows if this is an illusion or reality?
It really bounced back and almost hit me in the head.
She didn't want to take Sakta's bullet.
After careful consideration, Federico hung the gun back on his waist.
The three of them had a brief discussion and then began to search separately.
The space here is so huge, almost as big as the Grand Ancient Square in Longmen. In addition, there are many musical instruments, oil paintings and furniture displayed, making it quite difficult to find things.
But after searching like they were in a robbery, they successfully found an entrance in a closet.
Looking at the tower that looked exactly like the previous staircase, Talina hesitated.
If Federico had not intervened when they were trapped in the tower, they might not have been able to get out. Now the only intersection is the same as the previous one, so they inevitably feel like they have escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den.
"I'll go in first, you guys meet me outside."
Noticing Talina's hesitation, Federico stepped forward decisively and took the lead in going in.
As the only person present who has mastered the melody of the Golden Rule, he is undoubtedly the best candidate. Even if he is trapped, he will most likely return safely.
more importantly...
He felt Arturo's presence...
Looking up at the endless spiral staircase, Federico couldn't help but tighten his grip on the gun in his hand.
"No matter where you run to, I will bring you back..."
"...elder sister."
.........
"Ah!"
Arturo, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly sneezed and his nose started to itch for no reason.
She stretched out her left hand to massage it, but the pain in her shoulder made her cry out in pain.
Turning her head to look at her bloody shoulder, she couldn't hide a strange look on her face.
This is thanks to Federico, her good brother...
He quietly approached her while she was playing and shot her in the left hand at close range, causing her severe trauma.
Of course, she also knew that Federico was holding back, otherwise if she was shot at close range, it would be a question whether her hand would still be in her body.
Arturo tore off the cloth from the hem of his clothes to tie up the wound, trying his best to ignore the pain caused by the wound and walked up step by step.
Although the future is uncertain, for her, nothing can be more exciting than this.
She had paid so much to see that person...so why would she stop here?
She could accept dying at the end of her performance, but...
Not now!
Volume 8: Chapter 68: Pavillon
"Why does the environment here... resemble the Twin Queens' Towers?"
Looking at the esoteric texts floating past her, Talina carefully moved away.
And shortly after she stepped aside, the secret book that was floating with the current suddenly exploded and turned into particles of light, which dissipated into nothingness like fireworks.
This was the umpteenth time she had seen this thing.
After Federico confirmed that there was no danger in the tower, Talina and Maria followed him in.
They were lucky and walked out of the tower after about half an hour, and then arrived at another place.
Judging from the surrounding buildings, this is a library, like a large library, with crisscrossing beams and stairs forming many paths for people to walk on.
All the books around were precious items. Even the secret book that just floated past would be snatched up by people if it was left outside.
But here, its existence is limited to the lower and middle classes.
"The construction style and conventions of the Twin Queens' Towers are inherited from the Wizard King's Tower, so what you said is not wrong."
Federico, who had a lot of knowledge in his head, recognized the architectural style here as being very similar to the Twin Queens Towers with just a quick glance.
After all, he was the one who climbed the Queen's Tower with his bare hands, and he went into a few rooms to rest along the way.
"So this is... the Witch King's Tower?"
Talina was not a fool, and she understood immediately after Federico pointed it out.
Since they came here, they have seen traces of the Witch King everywhere, so the appearance of this library is reasonable.
"To be more precise, it's the third floor of the Witch King's Tower. It's where the Witch King stores his spoils of war, and it's also where much of his knowledge is gathered."
Federico picked up a book about the Lateran and began to read it at a glance.
But before he finished reading the first page, the book in his hand suddenly exploded, and the fragments scattered on his palm, bringing a slight itchy sensation.
"You're so brave! You're not afraid of getting yourself into trouble."
A teasing voice sounded and suddenly appeared at Federico's feet, attracting the attention of the three people present.
Without any hesitation, Federico reacted instinctively. He just swung his hand at his waist and the shotgun was in his hand.
Aim and shoot.
These two actions took no more than a second in total, and by the time Talina reacted, the only response she received was a deafening gunshot.
"Hey, hey, hey! Although the Sakta and the Sarkaz are natural enemies, my teacher has saved your lives after all. There's no need to just come up and shoot, right?"
She flew up from under the ladder with a look of fear on her face, and the owner of the voice also revealed her true face.
It was the lich, Ermengarde, who was sucked in with them.
At this moment, she was looking at Federico with a look of fear, as if she was quite afraid of the shotgun in the other's hand.
She was still riding on the small black cube, but the difference was that there was a hole in her chest, and a silk thread extended from it, connecting to the small cube she was sitting on.
