The sudden darkness plunged the capital into panic. The citizens who were still immersed in the atmosphere of mourning still lingered on the street for a long time and never dispersed. Suddenly general darkness. This weird phenomenon. The crowd was briefly shocked by doing nothing. It quickly turned into a panic, and even the defenders of the imperial capital began to be a little chaotic. Although the royal guards stationed in the imperial capital were the most elite divisions, the officers tried their best to control their subordinates. But there are still more and more soldiers forgetting their duties, staring dumbfounded at the sun that has turned into a black spot in the sky.
sun…
The sun is gone!
Chaos began in the city. Although the current leader of the security station is very capable. He personally took the team to the streets to maintain order. But no matter what. On such an important funeral occasion today. Those big and small bigwigs in the imperial capital are not in the city.
To the dismay of the generals of the defending army and the commander of the public security station, they wanted to ask their superiors for instructions. I can't find anyone!
All the high-level officials ran to the imperial mausoleum, in a panic. What made the head of the public security office smile bitterly and helplessly was: at this moment. In the imperial capital city, the highest-ranking officials seem to be himself and the commander of the garrison division of the Royal City Guards.
And even more shocking. Still behind!
About a quarter of an hour after the total solar eclipse, the solar eclipse still has no tendency to fade, as if the sun has been completely swallowed. never coming back again...
But at this time. suddenly. In the imperial capital, whether it is the panicked citizens or the army soldiers who are trying their best to maintain law and order. At the same time, an earth-shattering loud noise was heard!
rumbling...
That bang. It came from the direction of the palace! !
The tallest building in the imperial capital. The symbol of the Roland Empire, the center of the most powerful magic formation on the mainland, the white tower that made the Roland people proud for thousands of years...
More than hundreds of thousands of people witnessed a magnificent and spectacular scene at this moment: above the towering white tower and above the sky, a huge vortex suddenly appeared, and the vortex seemed to be like countless storms in an instant. It is condensed, but it is weird. But there is no wind at all!
The center of the vortex. In that frighteningly thick cyclone, there are faintly mixed with countless frightening electric currents: black ground. white ground. golden land. purple...
Those currents seem to gather more and more. Seems to be gathering energy.
Then, following the roar that almost deafened the ears of everyone in the imperial capital. Countless people saw clearly. At the center of the cyclone, a thick electric current descended from the sky. It hit hard on the huge magic gemstone at the top of the White Tower!
Almost in an instant, the electric current spread all the way down the White Tower. In an instant. The White Pagoda became like a fire, and under the weather of the solar eclipse at this moment, the surroundings were dark. And the White Tower seems to be inserted in it. Huge torch on the earth! !
Above the entire White Tower. Wrapped in a thick mass, it was like a flame and an electric light, and the light was burning fiercely. It can be clearly seen even tens of miles away! Circle after circle, the arc of light spread rapidly towards the surroundings. One, two. three...
More and more light arcs. Almost immediately centered on the White Tower. Spread to the entire imperial capital!
People didn't know what happened, and they all stared at the wonder of the palace and white tower in dumbfounded. for a while. Instead, the entire imperial capital suddenly fell into a strange extreme silence! No one spoke again. They all opened their mouths wide, staring in surprise at the huge torch in the distance...
The White Tower... the magic circle... Could it be. Started it yourself? !
The silence lasted for several minutes. Then, the ground began to shake. The vibration seemed to spread out from the center of the White Tower. The vibration was not violent. It seems that there is no damage to the building, but the crowd standing on the ground. But I can clearly feel the waves coming from under my feet. Oscillation with a specific rhythm!
crowd. Suddenly chaos!
Tweet! extrusion! trample! When hundreds of thousands of citizens who originally took to the streets to see off the funeral procession became chaotic, there were only a few thousand soldiers from the public security station. It became a small boat in the vast ocean, which could not be stopped at all!
Even the city guards of the imperial capital. There are only 20,000 people, and they are also full of panic.
It was at this time that Du Wei reached the sky above the imperial capital, and beside him was the old Chris who had turned into a golden dragon. One person and one dragon are suspended in the air side by side. Du Wei also looked at the White Tower in surprise. But after a brief shock. Du Wei went to peek at the old Chris beside him.
Even as a dragon. Du Wei still read a trace of excitement and joy from the golden dragon's eyes.
"Is that so?" Du Wei's voice was very low: "You have been waiting for a long time. Is it like this now?"
Old Chris came back to his senses. He lowered his voice and smiled strangely: "It's now! It's now!" Then he raised a dragon claw and pointed at the white tower that seemed to be burning in the distance: "There! It's there!! There it is!!"
Although Du Wei was shocked, he thought of everything he saw in the underground labyrinth under the White Tower when he visited the palace at night. It vaguely seems to have some strange connection with the Demon Temple ten thousand years ago. It seems at the moment. But instead, he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!" Old Chris looked up to the sky with a long smile: "What are you waiting for! Let's go quickly!! The treasure left by the master, I have finally arrived!!"
After finishing speaking, his huge body turned into a golden light. He swooped towards the palace.
Du Wei sighed. Glancing at his feet, the imperial capital was in chaos, above the sky. Du Wei could still vaguely hear the turbulent voices in the city. He felt a little unbearable and pitiful, but he shook his head vigorously at will. At this moment, he had no time to hesitate, so he could only fly after old Chris quickly.
Quickly swept into the palace from the air. Du Wei didn't have the mind to overlook the panoramic view of the palace from the sky, and old Chris landed in the center of the palace first. At the foot of the White Tower. Then Du Wei fell beside him.
"What are you waiting for?" Du Wei frowned.
Old Chris finally took human form. But his face was full of awe: "Here..."
Following his fingers, Du Wei saw the White Tower in front of him, standing close to this tall building that was "burning". The dazzling light is almost impossible to stare at. But the direction pointed by old Chris. But it is the gate on the pedestal under the White Pagoda.
now. The door was actually wide open, the door behind the light. It was filled with deep darkness. Like an open mouth.
"Someone went in first?!" Du Wei also frowned. Because it is around the White Tower. There were several people lying on the ground, all wearing red court magician robes. Although today is the funeral for the regent, there are still some court magicians left in the palace to guard the forbidden area.
The court magicians seemed to have fainted. Du Wei walked over and glanced casually, and immediately saw it. These magicians were directly stunned by a powerful magic by the top masters.
"It should be above the holy rank." Du Wei made a judgment: "To be able to knock down these court magicians in such a short period of time. The strength is definitely not ordinary."
There was a trace of murderous intent in the eyes of old Chris: "Hmph, who dares to offend the treasure left by Lord Demon God before us!"
Du Wei frowned: "I guess it might be the master who stayed in the city, so he was one step ahead of us... probably the descending angel hiding in the temple! Maybe there is also the Pope himself..."
Old Chris' expression changed. But then he said coldly: "Hmph, it doesn't matter even if these guys go in first! The treasure left by Lord Demon God. Do you think it's so easy to get in! You want to die!"
After speaking, he flicked his robe and rushed into the gate with big strides. Du Wei could only follow behind.
Vivian and Qiao Qiao's strength was far inferior to Du Wei's, so they fell behind a lot. When they rushed back to the imperial capital and came to the forbidden area in the palace. But it was already a quarter of an hour late.
Standing around the forbidden area of the White Pagoda, in the formerly heavily guarded forbidden area, those fainted court magicians left on the ground, while outside, the Imperial Forest Army was mobilizing chaotically, but no imperial forest army rushed into the forbidden area. Thanks to the iron law of the Roland royal family for thousands of years.
"He... Will he go in here?" Vivienne looked at her sister anxiously.
Qiao Qiao's face was also a little hesitant, but this straightforward girl quickly made a judgment: "It must be! Such a strange scene. This is the center. Du Wei must have come here! Look, the ground These court magicians. Maybe it was Du Wei who knocked them out!"
"That. Let's go in and find him." Vivian said. She was about to rush in, but after all, Qiao Qiao had more "jianghu experience" than this simple little silly girl, she thought for a while. But first checked the weapon he was carrying. Because he was participating in a funeral procession, it was naturally impossible for Qiao Qiao to dress up as a warrior in the past. He didn't even carry a sword. Fortunately, he wore the green flute on his waist as a weapon. And Vivienne was dressed as a noble girl. He didn't even wear a magician's robe. But she is not afraid. Because of things like magic wands. It's all in her storage ring.
"Okay. Go in." Qiao Qiao nodded: "But be careful."
In fact, she also understands that what she said is a bit redundant, but at this moment. Looking at this unprecedented strange scene. She couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
But just as he was about to pull Vivienne to go inside, he suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing towards him, and then a golden light fell from the sky. It landed directly in front of the two of them on the way to the gate of the White Tower!
This is a tall figure, when it landed on the ground. Facing the gate of the White Tower. Back to the two sisters. This guy seemed to come here in a hurry. His whole body was shining with light. A dark black armor, but I don't know what material it is made of. It is covered with all kinds of shocking scratches, and there are many traces left after repairing and forging. The most serious damage is It was a long scratch left on his back. It seems that the back of the armor was completely split by something, and then it was repaired and reforged. It left a trace nearly half a meter long.
And the figure of this guy. From such a rough look, it was at least close to three meters. It was as if a giant was standing in front of him! Great stature. Those shoulders are extremely broad. Looking from behind. It's like a mountain!
What surprised the two sisters even more was that his skin exposed outside the armor was all black. And on the skin. It is covered with a strange pattern, which I don't know is born. Still get it tattooed. The pattern seems to be some kind of totem vaguely.
That head of thick long hair, long and curly, was pulled into a strangely long braid. From this point of view, it was full of a rough and wild atmosphere.
more importantly. This guy suddenly fell from the sky. Just turning their backs to the two sisters, they seemed to be staring at the gate of the white tower in a daze, and did not open their momentum deliberately. But the two sisters felt a strong sense of oppression! This feeling is actually stronger than ever! There seems to be a deep and powerful hidden in this person!
Finally, this guy turned around slowly, his eyes seemed to glance over Vivian and Qiao Qiao inadvertently—it was just such a look that made Vivian and Qiao Qiao feel. The other party looked at his eyes. It's like a dragon watching ants.
Not that kind of deliberate contempt. Rather, it is an almost completely natural "ignorance". It seems that in the eyes of the other party, the vast majority of creatures in this world, whether they are humans or animals, are no different from gravel.
But what shocked Vivian and Qiao Qiao was. This person in front of me. He was—not human! !
The obvious and clear appearance of the face is immediately recognizable. It's an orc! ! The majestic and majestic body like a mountain is full of a kind of majesty that makes people look up.
Swept by its eyes, in an instant. Almost at the same time, Vivienne and Qiao Qiao felt as if their whole bodies were stiff - this was not fear or timidity, but an instinctive trembling! Like the orc in front of him. As long as you snap your fingers casually. It can wipe out most of the living beings in this world.
This intuition. Very strong!
Finally, the orc spoke: "Two humans? Do you want to go in?"
It actually seemed to be smiling, but the face of the orc. There is no beauty in even a smile. That trace of indifference and superciliousness. But it is undisguised.
Vivian and Qiao Qiao instinctively sensed that the opponent's strength was probably at a level that they couldn't even imagine! Such speculation. It shocked the hearts of the two even more, for a while. Both of them actually forgot to speak, even the pungent Jojo. They all seemed a little sluggish.
that look. It's as if a god is looking down on the mortal spirits in the world.
Its voice is rough and hoarse. But the tone was exceptionally calm and gentle—such a strange contradiction. But formed a special temperament.
"Then go in." The orc was still smiling: "I just want to go in too. We can go together."
paused. Looking at the two sisters, there is still no response. The orc seemed to sigh softly: "Humans... don't they have such an attitude when they see gods?" Then it raised its voice too loudly, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you, because in my eyes , you are not qualified to let me hurt, oh, my name is... Hector."
After finishing speaking, it actually walked in such a big stride towards the gate of the White Tower. walk aside. Its smile came from one side: "Hehe, after waiting for so many years, I was actually made to wait..."
Seeing this tall guy walk to the door, it stood in the light of the white tower. But he glanced back at Qiao Qiao and Vivian: "What? Aren't you coming in? This is a rare miracle."
Qiao Qiao glanced at Vivian, and at this moment, Vivian was always gentle and weak. Instead, there was a trace of determination in his eyes without hesitation: "Let's go!"
"Okay." Jojo nodded. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the orc. Whispered: "This guy..."
"I can't control that much!" Vivian was unusually determined: "Because, he, he. He went in!"
Everything in this world. The most wonderful and interesting thing is: many times. As if one thing after another seems to be a coincidence. But in the end, people have to wonder - is this due to fate
Just after Vivienne and Jojo followed the mysterious orc named Hector into the White Tower...
They were not the last visitors to the White Tower.
A moment after they entered the White Tower. There are visitors from the forbidden area again.
The Empire has been around for a thousand years. It seems that there are more outsiders breaking into this royal forbidden area today than in the past thousand years combined.
An old man in white clothes and a woman with blond hair appeared together, fell from the sky, and stood under the white tower.
After the two landed, they seemed to glance at each other. The only difference is. The corners of the eyes of the old man in white are full of wrinkles, and his eyes are full of wisdom. He is naturally Lan Haiyue.
But that woman, from beginning to end. Never opened his eyes.
Queen Medusa seemed to frown slightly. Her face is so beautiful that it is not like a mortal creature. With a faint unease, as if in the air. There was still a breath of fear that made her extremely scared—even though she couldn't tell where this feeling of fear came from, it fell here. Standing in front of the White Tower. But she vaguely felt an instinctive warning from the depths of her soul.
As if, right here, not far away, there is an existence that makes him extremely awed, if he continues to walk. will get closer and closer...
To be precise. This doesn't seem to be a smell, but a kind of momentum left in the air, a kind of aftermath of energy. or something else...
"Beautiful Miss Nicole, no matter how scared you are."
Lan Haiyue sighed: "I can see the uneasiness on your face."
Queen Medusa shook her head. Replied in a dull and cold voice: "I... don't know."
Lan Haiyue's smile was a bit deep. The eyes are even more complicated: "Here. It seems that many people have already been here."
Then he frowned, looked at the burning torch, and the door hidden in the light: "Want... to go in?"
This time, Queen Medusa did not hesitate: "Hmph. They are already here!"
Just after the two figures, an old man and a woman, disappeared in the gate of the White Tower. It was as if fate had struck the clock. And it seems that somewhere, some kind of power of fate is at work...
Even more abruptly than when this strange celestial phenomenon descended—and it disappeared as if without warning.
The sun in the sky that has turned into black spots still hasn't recovered, but the huge cyclone in the sky above the White Tower. But suddenly at such a moment, it suddenly disappeared!
The huge vortex turned into countless air currents. As if shattered at the same time. Dissipated in the sky, and the flowing currents of various colors instantly returned to calm.
white tower. Like a burning torch. But at the moment it seemed to burn out. finally. Its light began to dim, and after the last ray of light disappeared...
call!
With a soft bang, the door automatically closed.
Then...
The base of the white tower suddenly rotated slowly like a Rubik's cube, with the sound of rolling stones. After turning around a few times, the gate on the base still looks the same, but at this moment. If someone goes in again, I'm afraid they won't be able to find the way of the previous pioneers!
As the old Chris said to Du Wei at the beginning:
"A special door will only open at a special moment."
Imperial History: On the day of the regent's funeral, the White Tower magic circle in the imperial capital was launched. When the royal family rushed back to the palace. His Majesty the Emperor personally entered the White Tower to check, but found nothing.
this matter. And that time when Du Wei visited the palace at night. Inadvertently triggered the magic formation incident, except for a few parties, to this world. It has become a mystery that will never be solved.
