The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 74: The cicada is coming
Chapter 1006 The cicada is coming
"——Annan!"
As soon as Salvatore entered the Black Tower of the Zedi, before he even saw Annan, he raised his voice and made a cheerful voice: "Where are you——"
His unexpected voice even disturbed the students passing by.
A pair of young apprentices who were passing by and looked like lovers looked at Salvatore in astonishment.
They quickly recognized Salvatore.
"Mentor Salvatore..."
"Good tutor..."
The two apprentices, who were younger than Annan, timidly bowed slightly to Salvatore and said hello.
"Ah, hello."
Salvatore lowered his head to them with a gentle smile without any pretensions, and read out the other person's name directly: "Enoch and Nunnally, Hohenheim misses you too... It's just that he misses you too..." There is still homework to be done, and I can’t come back for the time being.
"What are you going to do, go for a walk in the backyard?"
"...Well, we just finished lunch and planned to find a place to take a walk and chat."
The girl known as "Nunally" whispered: "Because Enoch has a roommate who is taking a nap, we were worried that chatting in the dormitory would wake him up... so we went out for a walk."
"It's good. Sunbathing is good for your health."
As he spoke, Salvatore showed a wicked smile, stretched out his hand with a smile, and touched the heads of the two men.
The two children habitually turned their heads away, with frightened expressions on their faces.
But their reaction was still half a beat too slow, and Salvatore reached out and grabbed his hair. Then Salvatore smiled proudly, ruffled their hair hard, and then laughed and left with his hands behind his back and his head raised.
Only two young apprentices were left looking at Salvatore's back with resentful expressions.
Salvatore walked directly into the "elevator".
Although he had no idea of the destination or which floor Annan was on, he didn't really need to worry about it.
When he entered the Black Tower of Zedi, he shouted "Annan"... Of course, he didn't expect that after he shouted Annan's name, Annan would directly hear him and come to him on his own initiative.
After Annan's soul is dyed, if someone calls his name, it is indeed possible that Annan will directly sense it.
However, even if the body has this function, and being able to use this ability accurately are two completely different things.
Just like humans can originally see things moving at high speeds and taste different foods. But if you want to have clear enough dynamic vision, or to judge the details of food just by relying on your tongue...then you need a certain degree of training.
The reason why Salvatore shouted at the door was not for Annan to hear, but for Hugo to hear.
As the master of the tower, Hugo's Black Tower is his eyes and ears. He is the brains of Zedi Black Tower.
Everything that happens in the Black Tower of Zeland will be known to him - and the apprentice cannot leave the Wizard Tower at all on weekdays. Even the king's control over the territory is completely impossible to be as strong as the Wizard Tower.
Salvatore just shouted this, and Hugo already knew that Salvatore was back and that he wanted to see Annan first.
There is no need to press any buttons, there is no need to ask where Annan is now, and there is no need to do anything when entering - when Salvatore enters the elevator, the elevator starts to run on its own.
Under Hugo's control... the elevator, carrying Salvatore, began to automatically rise toward a certain floor.
What surprised Salvatore was that the elevator seemed to take a long time to rise...
Is Annan learning spells in the upper area?
As soon as this thought came to Salvatore's mind, he discovered that the elevator had climbed all the way to the top.
"...What is Annan going to the top floor for?"
Salvatore was a little stunned.
There is no functional area on the top floor of Zedi Black Tower.
Even if you really need to talk to Hugo... Hugo's projected incarnation can actually appear on any floor anytime, anywhere.
There isn't even a chair on the top floor, let alone anything else.
When the elevator arrived, Salvatore's heart suddenly jumped.
——His inspiration allowed him to capture some traces and smell the rather uneasy air.
Too dark.
Although the Zedi Black Tower is on the lower floors, it has normal and bright enough lights. But only on the top floor, more primitive torches are still used.
Twelve torches are evenly distributed around the center, like the dials of a clock.
Because the flame in this torch is drawn from the holy fire passed down from generation to generation in the Black Tower of Zedi - although its scale is not large enough, so it is not considered "another holy fire tower", but it is only the holy fire itself. The special meaning and the value represented by the sacred number "twelve" can form a barrier that is enough to seal the original holy fire.
But now, this room is dark and extremely quiet.
...The holy fire went out?
Salvatore's heart tightened.
He subconsciously took two steps forward.
Then, a gray bowl-shaped realm suddenly enveloped Salvatore... to be precise, it covered the entire uppermost area.
Salvatore recognized it immediately.
——That is Isaac's "refining of inertia".
Just by being inside this spell, Salvatore almost completely lost his combat effectiveness-Although the transformation spell is extremely magical and can turn one substance into another completely unrelated substance, the transformation spell can Interrupted or even reversed.
You only need to chant the opponent's transformation spell in reverse to perform spell counterattack.
Inertia itself cannot prevent Salvatore from casting spells, it just makes his spellcasting movements extremely slow. Even if it was only a third slower, it was enough for all his spells to be interrupted by Isaac.
At this moment, "Vatorre", who sensed the dangerous aura, woke up instantly.
On Salvatore's shoulder, a liquid-like shadow crawled and suddenly raised its head like a snake.
But she didn't say anything, she just frowned - as if she realized something.
"What's going on?"
Salvatore, who had not yet figured out what was going on, just stopped where he was and made a confused sound.
[The initial heat comes from the depths of the earth. Therefore, the earth is also called the mother of embers and charcoal——]
Hugo's emotionless voice sounded.
That is the secret of the creation of "embers and charcoal".
Just reciting fragments of it is enough to ignite incombustibles.
The next moment, countless flames burst into flames——
Surrounding the uppermost space, countless blood-stained coals simultaneously ignited fires wrapped in thick smoke; and at some point, a silver metal film that reflected light and heat was affixed to the surrounding walls. It started to burn.
And a new flame quickly ignited on the smoke.
——In the presence of the Word of Creation, even ashes and smoke can burn.
Even the flame itself can burn.
That is the fire that lights up the fire——
The smoke rising violently quickly turned the mirror-like wall black. The surrounding space seemed to turn into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye... The steaming heat and brilliant fire turned the not-so-narrow space into a foundry.
Salvatore was clearly standing in the middle, but he didn't feel the heat at all.
But at this moment, he realized something belatedly.
"...Is this the concept of [casting furnace]?"
Salvatore muttered.
Who is it that can turn the black tower of the swamp that "stores fire" into a furnace that "calcines with fire"?
Ordinary fire is used to calcine steel, but what the holy fire can calcine can only be the soul itself. ~IndoMTL.com~ And those who can do this...
Salvatore had already guessed that answer.
But he didn't want to guess.
Because Salvatore knew very well that only one person could do this.
That is the owner of the Zedi Black Tower, the holder of the Holy Fire.
His mentor...
——Hugo Black Tower.
