Taxis stepped up the steps.
The door seemed to sense her arrival, and slowly opened to the sides. The
vines entwined around the door broke, and the long-deposited dust was
scattered and scattered, raising a light brown mist.
After the fog cleared, a biting cold wind blew out from the tower, causing the
guides guarding the door to step back a few steps.
And Taksis unavoidably, letting her blond hair dance in the wind.
When the cold wind subsided, she stroked the collar of her neck and stepped
into the stone tower.
The girl's figure was quickly swallowed by the darkness in the tower.
At this time, the guide's indifferent expression finally showed a trace of
fear.
In the records of the classics, the challenge to the loser is not only the end
of death-some people retreat halfway, or know that they can't get to the top
of the tower, choose the same way to return, if you are lucky enough, you can
leave the dragon tower. But they are more or less left with a few sequelae,
such as confusion, or the injury is difficult to recover, which also makes the
fans willing to become dragonborn through Denglong Road less and less.
After all, the demon-owners are already human beings, and the dragon
descendants who are passed down by blood are now in the minority. Why should
they take this risk to challenge themselves?
Until standing in front of the tower, the leading person realized the gap
again.
No matter how they slander Taksis Wing Wing, she is also an existence that is
difficult for them to reach in their lifetime.
……
After closing the door, Taksis found that the tower was unexpectedly empty.
She did not find the spiral staircase that she had expected, nor did she see
the patio that runs through the entire tower. After passing through the
corridor, there was just a square hall in front of her-the pillars on both
sides hung rounds of burning flames, which just happened to reflect. The
outline of the hall.
What surprised her even more was that it didn't look like no one had been here
for a long time.
The carved lines on the stone wall are clearly visible, and there is not much
dust on the ground; she even saw a pot of boiling water by the bonfire in the
middle of the hall.
The last challenger recorded was 15 years ago!
She walked to the bonfire, picked up the kettle, and she couldn't help but
startled slightly.
I saw many small names engraved on the floor under the kettle.
"This is……"
Taxis took out a piece of burning wood from the fire and leaned to the floor.
can't be wrong, this should be the name of the challenger. After taking a
closer look, she realized that in the past hundreds of years, many people have
set out from here and set foot on the road to dragons.
There are many familiar names among them.
They not only succeeded in reaching the top, they also left their names in the
collections of the Church of Hera.
In other words, they are all their predecessors.
Thinking of this, Taksis raised a smile-I wonder if the first dragonborn who
completed the feat of ascending the dragon has also left his name here?
But gradually, her smile solidified on her face.
The girl noticed something wrong.
That is too many names.
She hadn't noticed this detail before, so she didn't check the difference
under her feet, but when her gaze moved with the name, she found that these
writings could not be seen at a glance!
Every stone slab on the floor of the hall is actually engraved with a name.
After a little estimation, it can be concluded that this number has far
exceeded the current total number of dragonborn. If the Holy Wing Islands
really have so many demon owners who can transform the dragon, how can they
still need to sign a truce agreement with Natantin? I am afraid that the
entire surrounding Tranquility Sea has been included under Hera's command a
long time ago.
And by the time she saw the third circle from the campfire, those names had
become distorted and unrecognizable.
Taxis swallowed.
A weird thought suddenly came into her heart.
The names farther away no longer use the same language as them, so it looks so
weird.
Looking at the ground shrouded in darkness, she couldn't help feeling an
inexplicable chill.
Taxis didn't continue to explore it. After returning to the campfire, she felt
a little warmer in her body.
Why is this incident never mentioned in the church books?
Taxis turned his gaze to the ground again.
——Did they really engrave these names on their own?
If no one remembers this, does it mean that she will forget this scene
completely after she leaves the Dragon Tower?
This ancient pagoda is really different.
There must be secrets hidden deep in it.
Suddenly, Taxis' eyes stopped on a name.
How can this be! ?
Her pupils shrank suddenly, why does this person's name appear in the Dragon
Tower?
Hu——
Almost at the same time, the flame shook.
A short dagger was handed out from the darkness and stabbed at Taksis’s back.
In a daze, her reaction was obviously slow for a while, when the sting spread,
she noticed the presence of the attacker!
哐当!
Taxis rolled forward on the spot, directly knocking the bonfire to pieces.
The enemy wanted to take advantage of the momentum to chase, but the kettle
she threw out was smashed straight-even in the process of dodging, this blow
was called a heavy blow, accompanied by a loud noise, the kettle was directly
smashed in the air. A wave of ripples also appeared in front of the attacker.
Taxis' heart sank.
That is the effect of the wizard shield!
In front of the scattered fire, the enemy completely revealed his true body.
was surrounded by hazy smoke, and his facial features were hidden under his
hood. Only a pair of cold-lighted eyes could be seen vaguely.
"As expected of Hera's new star, he can actually avoid my silent attack." His
voice was pale and hoarse, "But even a small wound is enough to affect the
balance of victory. You should already feel it. When I arrive, are my hands
and feet not as flexible as before?"
There is poison on the dagger.
Taxis knew this well, and the numbness was spreading from the waist to the
limbs, like a bone-eating snake.
The enemy is completely prepared-the fog technique can blur one's position and
take the advantage in close combat; and even if hit, the wizard's shield can
effectively reduce the damage. For a melee target who can't use spells, but
whose body is extremely strong, this spell combination is the best choice.
"Did Master Tower send you here?" Taksis said solemnly.
"Why ask so clearly." The other party grinned, "Anyway, you're already dead,
aren't you?"
The voice fell, and a translucent giant fist rushed out from the side of
Taksis, and hit her heavily!
The magic boxing of the plastic energy system——
In addition to the assassin in front of you, are there other enemies hidden in
the hall?
Taxis had no time to tighten her body, and before she raised her blocking arm,
she was blasted out and slammed into the stone wall of the hall!
