While Olina was still in a daze, Xia Fan had already rushed in front of her at an extremely fast speed, "Quickly! The tower is about to explode!"

How to blow up the tower
Although the dragon girl's head hadn't turned around yet, her body's instincts had already followed Xia Fan and she circled in a half circle and ran towards the area of Sheila City that was not covered by the shadow of the Sun God.
Just after flying for less than a few breaths, an extremely dazzling light suddenly illuminated the entire earth!
"Don't look back, keep running!" Xia Fan shouted.
Under the illumination of this light, even the royal capital shrouded in darkness seemed to be a little brighter, and the sparkling light of the Ambergris River turned into a dazzling silvery white. If it weren't for the other party's extremely solemn tone, Olina would definitely not be able to help but look back at this rare sight.
Then she saw a "ripple" appear on the ground.
It expanded extremely fast, catching up with the two of them almost instantly, and collided with the distant hills and the wall of Sheila. The moment the two come into contact, you can see obvious white smoke and dust rising.
what is that-
Before Olina could ask, a wave of scalding heat instantly hit her body!
The two of them were like kites that were out of line, being thrown out in the blink of an eye. She couldn't control her body as the world was spinning, and she could only let the hurricane push her forward!
The problem is that storms of this intensity should only occur on the sea. There is not even a dark cloud in the sky. How can such a violent wave be generated
It was only then that the explosion that tore the world apart came from the direction of the Climbing Dragon Tower—
Following this roar, her peripheral vision caught a fireball rising into the sky. The fireball was so bright that it was almost as bright as the newborn sun!
This may be why Xia Fan asked her not to look back.
But isn’t the Dragon Tower an ancient stone tower
Why did its collapse trigger such an alarming uproar? Even if all the gunpowder in Hilla City were pulled together, it would probably not achieve this effect.
And the exaggerated pair of wings behind Xia Fan...
She was vaguely aware that the history of the Holy Wing Islands would probably take a huge turn today.
…
After the aftermath of the explosion, only a huge pit remained where the Dragon Tower was located, as if it had never existed.
Since Xia Fan and Olina flew high enough, the air waves only pushed them to roll dozens of times without causing much substantial damage. Soon the two landed on the White Sands with the unconscious Taxis, and immediately called the elf doctor to perform detoxification treatment to stabilize the girl's injury.
After learning that Li and Qian Yan had returned safely and successfully rescued the vampire princess, Xia Fan finally felt relieved. Although no one expected that the Advent Ceremony would turn out like this, the timing of the action was chosen just right - enough chaos reduced the church's control ability to the extreme, and the old palace became an area that had no time to take care of. By the time they discovered that the Natating royal family hostage had disappeared, they were afraid that the Baisha had already returned to Jinxia City.
But before he could meet the princess, Xia Fan met an unexpected guest.
Alek, the red priest of the church.
Half of his body was stained with blood, and only one arm was left. Although he was temporarily free of danger after emergency bandaging, he still looked very depressed. When he landed on the White Sands, he had no followers around him, so he had to deal with emergencies by himself, which was really embarrassing for a high priest in a high position.
"Are you... okay?" Xia Fan looked at him for a moment, "Would you like our doctor to check you out?"
"Thank you, but no need." Alec showed a wry smile, "My injury was not caused by the devil, but by my own hands. This kind of injury can be recovered after ten days and a half of rest. On the contrary, it can be treated with magic power." The loss is too great. If possible, I hope your doctor can use the treatment on ordinary people who are more in need of help."
"You can do it yourself?"
"Yes. If I hadn't done this, I'm afraid I would have ended up with the same fate as His Holiness the Pope."
Xia Fan suddenly became interested.
He also wanted to know what kind of changes had happened in the Holy See area to turn the good-looking Divine Advent Ceremony into the tragic situation it is now.
"Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know about the situation." Alec seemed to have read his thoughts, "But before that, can I ask you a few questions?"
"you say."
"My men saw you flying all the way from the Dragon Climbing Tower, and you seemed to be carrying Miss Yongyi in your hand... Is this true?"
So it turned out to be the case, Xia Fan suddenly realized, this was the reason why the red priest hurried over. However, it was normal for his whereabouts to be discovered. There were many dragonborn activities in the dock area itself. Some were nobles moving their property, and some were church priests directing the people to evacuate. At that time, he just wanted to return to the White Sands as soon as possible to renew Taksis. He took one life and did not deliberately avoid the sight of the crowd.
"That's right. I received intelligence that a suspicious person was following the team heading to the Dragon Climbing Tower. For safety reasons, I also went to the Dragon Climbing Tower for a walk, and happened to bump into Taksis. Of course. ... and also met an enemy who wanted to murder her." Xia Fan said bluntly, "There is a problem within the church, and this trial is clearly a premeditated frame-up. Fortunately, she is strong enough to hold on until I The moment she arrived. If she had taken another half step at night, she would have been in trouble."
After hearing this, Alek's expression relaxed a lot, and then he showed a hint of shame, "You are right, the mystery spell prepared for the God's Arrival Ceremony has been secretly tampered with. In addition, I I can't think of any other explanation for why the god Hera became like this. Although it's not yet clear who did it—"
"It's the red priest Mayne." Xia Fan gave the answer directly.
He couldn't help but be stunned, "You know?"
Xia Fan briefly recounted what Taksis discovered, "I don't know much about the internal affairs of the church, but even the youngest presiding judge thinks so, so it's probably not wrong."
"It's true..." There was a sense of sadness in Aleck's tone. It can be seen that after the incident, he did not have no doubts about the suspect, but he just lacked solid evidence.
"Where is she?"
"Like Archbishop Bolton, her whereabouts are unknown. I was originally worried that her soul would be deprived of her soul by that thing, so it seems that she should have prepared a retreat."
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Xia Fan, "I wonder where Taksis is now?"
"She's resting in the cabin. Do you want to see her?"
"If possible." Alec nodded, "That demon-sealing belt should no longer bind her."
Xia Fan took the red priest to the stern bedroom. The elf responsible for the treatment had left, leaving only the red-haired girl with her eyes closed.
Alek recited a spell silently, then passed his fingers across the opponent's collar, which was immediately broken into several pieces.
The moment the magic power resumed flowing, a touch of light red blood suddenly appeared on Taksis's cheeks.
