Three Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters, Infiltrating, Gathering, and Speaking

(Thank you very much for the rewards of '5 Creme Brulee', 'Joe Naisheng', '?の秋叶'!)

"Clatter——!"

The water waves rolled back and forth in dazzling ripples, rushing into the distance. ⊙,

Here is the endless ocean.

Over the ocean, a stream of light, like a meteor passing by during the day, flew over the ocean at an extremely fast speed, and in a sharp sound of breaking through the sky, it flashed in the space, and it didn't take long. Disappeared at the horizon and appeared in another place.

With the help of the magician in the form of the death feather and the acceleration rune on it, Noah is flying towards the distant ocean at a speed that ordinary ships can't match.

At this time, Noah, who was flying over the ocean, was holding a map in his hand, and a very obvious x symbol was marked on one corner of the map.

The x symbol is Noah's destination this time—the Tower of Paradise.

To be honest, Noah didn't want to delve too deeply into Erza's past.

After all, everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell others.

However, for this time, Noah intuitively felt very concerned, otherwise he would not have specifically asked about Mistgang.

Knowing that the reason why he cares so much about the Tower of Paradise is mostly due to Erza, coupled with the conversation with Erza yesterday, Noah finally decided to take the initiative to investigate the Tower of Paradise.

Of course, investigating the Tower of Paradise is one thing. The most important thing is that Noah also wants to meet the so-called Gerald.

It can make Mistgang pay so much attention. He also looks exactly the same as Mistgang and Zekerain, and is the one who made Erza show that painful expression. Noah felt that this Gerald. Must be the key to everything.

Therefore, even if it is for Erza, Noah has to do some research on this so-called Tower of Paradise.

According to his own memory, Noah, who was identifying the map in his hand, kept flying forward. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped and was suspended in mid-air.

"This is the area."

After confirming the direction recorded on the map in hand,

Noah raised his head and looked around. A second later, it settled on one of the positions.

There, there is an island.

No.

It is more of a tower than an island.

It was like a tower growing from the bottom of the sea, and like a towering tree standing on the sea.

Looking at the strangely shaped tower, Noah squinted his eyes, and after crushing the map in his hand, he turned his body.

"Boom!"

Intense black light gushes out from the magician in the form of death feather, turning into a substantial thrust. Let Noah's figure turn into a meteor again, grazing towards the ominous tower that seems to be under dark clouds.

...

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—!"

Amidst the sound of footsteps that could make the ground tremble, huge black figures ran back and forth in the corridors, as if they were on patrol. Wander around every corner.

Noah poked his head out from a dark corner, looked at the huge black shadows, and frowned slightly.

The body of those huge black shadows is like a beast. A ferocious monster with wings.

On the backs of these behemoths, each one was wearing standard equipment. Holding a long gun, a figure dressed as a soldier sat on it. Driving the giant beasts under him, they patrolled the corridors back and forth, and the guards were quite strict.

Originally, Noah thought that the security of this island built on the sea should not be too strict. Who knows, even if it is built in a corner of the ocean that no one knows, the interior of this tower still has such a strict security system. alert.

However, this just proves that there is definitely something shady or extremely important in this tower.

Otherwise, in such a corner of the ocean that is unlikely to be found, this tower, which is already difficult to find and has a natural barrier, does not need such strict security at all.

Noah, who was hiding in the dark, pondered for a while before deciding to act.

Here, there are also some soldiers who are not riding giant beasts on patrol.

When such a soldier passed by Noah's position, Noah suddenly flew out and appeared behind him without a sound.

"Snapped----!"

With a crisp sound, Noah's hand knife cut the soldier's neck neatly.

"Hey!" The soldier only felt a pain in his back, a blur in his eyes, and immediately lost all consciousness.

Noah directly dragged the soldier who was stunned by himself into the corner. When Noah came out of the corner once, Noah had already put on the standard equipment of the soldier, covering his whole body. They were densely packed and held long guns.

If it looks like this, even if Erza is here, as long as she doesn't have the keen sense of smell like Naz, it will be difficult to find Noah herself, right?

Just as Noah was thinking about what to do next, a voice stopped him from behind.

"Hey! It's time to assemble! Hurry up!"

Having said that, a soldier wearing the same standard equipment as Noah came over, and brutally stabbed Noah with the end of the spear in his hand, yelling constantly.

"Master Gerald is going to make a speech at the venue, and everyone has to gather there. Don't you forget?"

Hearing this, Noah frowned.

Gerald going to speak?

"No, no, I haven't forgotten." Noah shook his head pretending to be panic.

"I just wanted to go there too."

"Then hurry up!" The soldier walked forward without waiting for Noah.

"If you are late for the meeting, you will be miserable. Even if Lord Gerald is not as cruel as the hateful magic sect before, he will still punish those who do not obey the rules. If you don't want to eat, then Continue to dawdle here!"

"Immediately! Immediately!" Noah pretended to be terrified on purpose, but his head worked extremely calmly, and his body followed the running soldier and ran forward.

...

This is a square at the bottom of the Tower of Paradise.

The surroundings are all made of rough stones, and even the floor and ceiling are made of dusty stone bricks. In such a place, all the soldiers wearing standard equipment gathered here.

The soldiers did not line up, but just stood casually like this, but they all held up their spears and kept shouting loudly.

"Master Gerald——!"

"Master Gerald——!"

Noah mixed in the crowd, imitating the people around him by raising the spear in his hand, raising his head, and looking forward.

There are no extravagant high platforms here.

However, in front of the square, there is a stone ladder that spreads upwards, like a snake circling inside the tower. It is not spectacular, but the project is quite magnificent.

On a protruding platform above the stone ladder, several figures stood there.

It was a figure in plain clothes, completely different from the soldiers in the square.

A burly man with an iron gauntlet covering his mouth and chin.

Her hair resembles cat ears, and her looks and behavior are also reminiscent of a cat girl.

The body is like a toy, with edges and corners, and even the head is a strange man made of square building blocks.

And, the skin is slightly dark, but he is most like a normal person, and he looks quite handsome.

And in the middle of these four people, a figure with a strong sense of presence, but with an evil aura all over his body stood there.

Noah stared at that guy fixedly, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

It only took a moment for Noah to recognize the identity of the other party.

Because, the other party has exactly the same appearance and body shape as Mystergang and Zekelein.

Who else but the so-called Gerald?

Looking at the figure that is exactly the same as Mistgang and Zekelein, Noah shook his head secretly in his heart.

If it wasn't because the aura on the other party was so evil, Noah really doubted whether the other party was a pseudonym of Mistgang or Zikere.

It's so similar.

There are three owners of this appearance, how can Noah not doubt it?

Under such circumstances, Gerald stepped forward, stretching out his hand as if intending to embrace the world.

"Citizens! Cheer!"

Gerald directly used an extremely passionate tone, and shouted loudly to the many soldiers below the square.

"Our dream! We have spent eight years building this tower of paradise! Today! It is finally completed!"

All of a sudden, there was a silence.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh----!"

The next moment, amazing cheers resounded through the audience. (To be continued..)u
