In the collection, Taksis had read the biographies of those who had successfully completed the journey to ascend the dragon and jumped from ordinary demon-wishers to dragonborns. According to them, the challenges seem to vary from person to person, and there is no set way to overcome them. Even the descriptions of the space inside the tower are different in those records.
But one thing she can confirm is that walking through the Dragon Tower is by no means an easy task. The challengers were both strong and weak, but they all suffered considerable injuries, and not one of them made it to the dragon intact. Considering that there were still many people who failed and died, she estimated that she would also have to face a tough battle after her spellcasting ability was sealed.
Presumably this is the "punishment" recognized by high-level officials and common believers.
In any case, the result was much better than she expected.
Even if you can't pass the Dragon Climbing Tower and die halfway, it's still better than some extremely humiliating punishment.
She is a woman after all.
No matter how determined she is, she will still feel a little scared if she really has to go through the punishments that are carried out in full view of the public.
Taxis lay back on her bed and looked up at the dark ceiling - it should be night at this time, and it was also the moment when the Sun God temporarily left the world. For some reason, she suddenly remembered Xia Fan's description of the sun's path. According to him, the sun would not stay away from everyone, but would just appear on the other side of the world, providing light and warmth to the creatures across the endless sea.
Even the moon itself is nothing more than the refracted light of the sun.
If this statement is true, then what Natadine believes in is just another sun.
Fortunately, he came to the Holy Wing Islands. If the Moon Goddess Church heard these remarks, they would probably tie him up on the spot and subject him to bloodletting.
Thinking of this, Taksis couldn't help but chuckle at first, but soon a feeling of depression came over - she had promised to go to the hotel to find him after handing over the task, but the delay was several times. God, he must have thought that he had broken his promise.
It wasn't like she hadn't thought about Captain Sedaro sending a message to the envoys, but she restrained herself when she thought of her situation. Any actions she takes at this time will be watched by other believers. In addition, the Eastern Mission itself is a visitor from a foreign land. Once the oral message is discovered, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to Xia Fan, Miss Li and others. .
What's more... the person the envoys really need is not her.
Whether it is the Son of the Holy Spirit or other high-level officials of the church, what the other party needs is a doctor who can exorcise evil spirits for them.
The further away she is from the mission, the easier it will be for them to achieve their goals.
The road ahead can only be walked by her alone.
Thinking of this, Taxis subconsciously rolled up her body and hugged her knees.
Suddenly, a slight tapping sound came from above.
In the quiet confinement room at night, this abnormal sound seemed particularly clear.
Taksis couldn't help but open her eyes and sit up again - because the sound of the tapping did not go away, but instead lingered above the house.
Where did the wild animals come from
She leaned against the wall and looked up at the narrow high window on the edge of the ceiling. As the ventilation hole of the confinement room, it was only the size of four fists, and there was an iron grille in the middle. Not to mention humans, even rats could not get through. Pass.
Through the grille, Taxis vaguely saw the face of a cat.
She must have been bored for a long time, she thought with some self-deprecation, even seeing a cat would be so concerned.
And this cat is too fat. It seems to be trying to get through the bars, but no matter how hard it tries, it can't put its head in. Instead, the flesh on its face is squeezed into strips of "sausages."
This guy... could he be so hungry that he thinks he has something to eat here
Taxis shook her head and was about to drive the other person away when a thought suddenly entered her mind.
Wait... I seem to have seen this cat somewhere!
She thought hard and finally found the figure of a fat cat in the corner of her memory - whether she was going to the Foreign Affairs Building to interrogate Xia Fan, or taking a boat to Shila City with the envoys, she seemed to have inadvertently left it behind. A black and white wild cat. It always seems to only appear in the unnoticed edge area, and every time it glances at the other person, its tawny eyes seem to be scrutinizing.
No, that's not a wild cat!
Taxis. Yong Yi suddenly felt a pimple rising all over his body!
It is also a member of the Messenger Corps!
Thinking of this, the girl suddenly leaned against the high window, stood on tiptoes, and raised one hand as high as possible, trying to touch the other person.
Then, she touched something very light.
The cat's footsteps also completely disappeared at this moment, and it never meowed once from beginning to end.
Taxis took back her hand and found that it was a piece of rolled up glutinous rice paper. This kind of transparent and thin thing can occasionally be seen on some high-end desserts.
Unfolding the paper, there was a row of small words written on it.
"Don't worry, I'm watching you."
In an instant, a warm current surged into Taksis's heart.
She didn't know why she felt like this, but just one sentence completely turned her depressed mood into a wisp of smoke.
Taxis rubbed the corners of her astringent eyes, put the paper roll into her mouth, and let it melt little by little, a faint sweetness spreading out.
"Really... You guys are too bold. You dare to inquire about the news inside the cathedral, and you wantonly break into the central Holy See area. You are not afraid of being discovered and walking around without food."
Even she couldn't help but chuckle when she said it.
If the other party was not courageous, how could he rush into the center of the vortex with her and face the arrogant twin demons in the storm
He has always been this kind of person.
…
Qiguo, Shenliu border.
As the peach wood sword pierced Xie Sui's chest, the humanoid monster in front of him was suddenly frozen in place, and then bursts of black smoke erupted from his body. After a while, only a rotting corpse was left.
"This is over." The alchemist put his sword into his waist, nodded to the shivering villagers in the distance, "The danger has been resolved, you can come out."
"Wow, Master is great!" The little girl next to the alchemist clapped her hands repeatedly. Judging from his appearance, this person is undoubtedly a Qi-sensing person, but he is just starting out. His tone and expression are childish, and he obviously has no idea how difficult this formed ghost is.
All this was seen by Sun Qianzi in the dark.
In just a few rounds of fighting, the young alchemist's ins and outs have been revealed. From the perspective of strength, the opponent should be more proficient in swordsmanship than alchemy between the time of questioning and the trial. This type of Qi-sensing person may not be suitable for fighting with others, but he is a first-class expert in dealing with evil spirits.
But just the level of trial strike also determines that he cannot escape the trap he has set.
"Do it." Sun Qianzi ordered in a deep voice.
In an instant, a silent barrier fell down, covering the entire village!
