Chapter 814 The Tower of Swifts
The power of a burst of explosive bullets directly dented the ground and walls, but these grounds and walls did not seem to be made of hard objects such as wood and stone slabs. They were only sunken and did not appear to be broken.
When the ground returned to a flat state, Bishop Wilson, who had sunk into the ground before, got out again and appeared in front of the two of them.
However, he looked much more embarrassed than he was just now. Not only was there a big hole in his head, but a scar on his shoulder was directly inserted into his chest.
Although he looked seriously injured, Leo and Silvia felt a lot more relaxed about him.
When Leo's sword pierced the opponent's shoulder and chest, it also caused great damage to the monsters in his chest, and some of the monsters were directly strangled by the blood power in his weapon In a disguised form, the pain these monsters brought to him was alleviated.
However, the wound on his shoulder has also become a hole in his body. The monsters in his body are trying to crawl out of this wound, but obviously none of these monsters want to fall behind, and they are all rushing forward. They were all crowded on the wound, and countless monster claws rushed out of the wound, making him look like he had grown tentacles.
"Relieve! Help me to be relieved!" Bishop Wilson seemed to see the hope of relief, and yelled at Leo and Sylvia.
Leo, who had already retreated to Sylvia's side, ignored the other party's yelling, but said to his partner beside him, "Help me hold him for a while."
After finishing speaking, he stuck the abyss sword in his hand on the ground, and then unleashed the thunder gun. A destructive force instantly solidified in his hands, and quickly accumulated and grew stronger.
Seeing this situation, Sylvia didn't think much about it, and raised the king and queen in her hands and shot quickly at the opposite bishop.
The opponent tried to continue to use the method just now to block the special bullets that were shot past, and a large amount of plasma on the ground instantly wrapped him up with the past.
But this time the situation is completely different. What Sylvia shoots is no longer explosive bullets, but frozen bullets. The blood plasma that is thick enough to make explosive bullets useless also loses its defense against frozen bullets. It was instantly frozen, turning into a layer of blood clots, and at the same time the bishop wrapped in it was also frozen in it, and then the piercing bullets fired easily penetrated the defense of the blood clots and penetrated the bishop's body.
Although the bullet cannot cause fatal injuries to the opponent, because Leo aimed at the opponent's spine and limb joints when shooting, after one round of shooting, the bishop's spine and joints were shattered, which seemed to be able to make him lose temporarily. Mobility.
Just as Sylvia was loading the bullet, the blood clot in front suddenly shattered, and then Bishop Wilson was seen lying on the ground like a worm, quickly crawling towards Sylvia Come over, and all the mouthparts on the face are opened, revealing the sharp teeth inside.
Sylvia did not dodge, but quickly took out four short staffs from her waist pocket, thrust them firmly beside her and Leo, followed by quickly changing gestures, mobilizing the power of the witch to pass through different The gesture was injected into the staff, and the four staffs shone at the same time in an instant, forming a transparent protective cover around her and Leo, which just blocked Bishop Wilson's attack.
Bishop Wilson, who was blocked by the protective cover, was not willing to let Sylvia go like this. His humanity has become less and less, and his animal nature has become more and more powerful. His body also began to attack under his instinctive desire to attack. It twisted and deformed, elongated and thickened, and finally turned into a giant python-like monster. It wrapped the protective cover in a circle, and its head was aligned with the top of the protective cover. Then it kept squeezing the protective cover, waiting for protection at any time. When the hood broke, it fell from above and devoured Sylvia and Leo.
Faced with this situation, Sylvia could only try her best to maintain the spells she learned from the magic book of the warlock, and resist the pressure around her. Because it was the first time she used it, a lot of the power she output was wasted, which also made It became a little difficult for her to maintain this protective shield.
However, she soon got rid of this predicament, because at this time the voice of Leo asking her to remove the protective cover rang in her ears, and she also had absolute trust in Leo, so she immediately removed the protective cover.
At the moment when the protective cover was lifted, a ray of light rushed out from the side, stabbing the head of the falling Bishop Wilson.
Afterwards, the other party didn't even make a scream, and was torn into pieces in a flash of thunder, and then all turned into dust, falling into the blood plasma on the ground, and at this time, the blood plasma on the ground seemed to have become Oil burned like oil, and in an instant the entire interior of the church was surrounded by flames.
"These flames...?" Originally, flames also appeared under Sylvia's feet. Before the flames could reach her, they were dragged by an invisible force and landed on Leo's hands, and then disappeared. Seeing this In this situation, Sylvia couldn't help but look at Leo suspiciously.
"The fire of sin." Leo gave a simple solid, and then motioned for her to follow him, and walked towards the church shrine by taking steps. Where he walked, all the flames gathered spontaneously His hands were devoured by the crystal serpent and merged into the fire of his sinful karma.
After coming to the shrine, Leo took out the statue of the king of the hill, handed it to Sylvia, and motioned her to put it on the shrine.
Sylvia did not shirk, took the statue and put it on the altar, and soon a white light shone from the statue, all the fires of sin in the church were extinguished under the white light, and the plasma on the ground also All turned into ashes like burning paper.
When the light fell on Leo and Sylvia, both of them felt very uncomfortable, but the reasons for their discomfort were completely different.
Leo felt uncomfortable because the moment the white light appeared, he felt a powerful existence watching him through the void. Although it was only for a moment, it seemed to him that a year had passed, which made him feel A strong sense of suffocation.
As for Sylvia, because of her own abyssal dragon blood, she felt very uncomfortable facing the white light.
Now that the statue has been placed, Leo has also completed the commission of St. Francis, and has no intention of staying any longer. Watching the statue show its power, he dragged Sylvia out of the church.
The moment he walked out of the church, the surrounding complete village scenes disappeared instantly, and all became the real, dilapidated village scenes that Leo saw.
At this moment, the chant of the hill king suddenly sounded over the church. The church was decaying, shattering, and collapsing at an extremely fast speed. In the end, there was only a shrine and the wood inside the shrine that had turned into a pile of charcoal. idol.
"It's all gone, the breath of the abyss is gone." Sylvia sensed the surrounding situation and said in a deep voice.
Leo also sensed the surroundings through the crystal serpent, and also sensed the power of Night God's sigh and broken pages through the power of nightmares, but all of them disappeared. Obviously, the power generated by the idol just now had completely purified the place.
At this time, Leo's spiritual network also expanded outwards, looking for the location of the wizard tower, and soon he found the location of the wizard tower, but it was the same as not finding it.
Leo gestured to Sylvia, stepped out of the village, went outside, walked on a path that was completely covered by green grass, and came to a small hillside on the side of the village.
I saw that the top of the hillside was supposed to be flattened, and a large number of stones were laid on the ground as the foundation. Judging from the size of the foundation, the buildings on the ground might be very tall, but at this moment there are no buildings on the ground. Judging from the traces, it seems that an invisible force has cut off the entire building above the ground.
"Hey!" Sylvia let out a slight exclamation as if she had discovered something.
Hearing the exclamation, Leo turned to look at his female companion.
Sylvia pointed to a relief on a stone tablet not far away. There were some words written on the relief, as well as a complete outline of the tower.
Those words probably described some of the things encountered during the construction of the wizard tower, indicating the difficulty of the construction, as if they were boasting of themselves, and the pattern on it was the complete outline of the wizard tower.
When Leo saw this picture, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
At this time, Sylvia reminded: "The Tower of Swift mentioned in the book Blood of the Elders."
Hearing Sylvia's reminder, Leo quickly remembered the book.
The Blood of the Elders is a book that Leo bought in the Nilfgaard Empire. The reason why he bought such a book that has nothing to do with magic but just records some legends is because Leo remembered that Ciri’s blood was also The blood of the elders, this bloodline gave Ciri the powerful ability to travel through space and time, so he was also very curious about this bloodline.
As for the Tower of Swifts, it is a magical area mentioned in that book. That tower exists in countless worlds, and it will only let a few people see its existence, and its magic is that it has There are countless portals that can lead to various spaces. It is said that this tower is in the same line as the blood of the elders.
In that book, I also drew a lot of appearance drawings of Swift Tower, but most of these appearance drawings are not the same, and now the outline drawing of the wizard tower engraved on the stone tablet happens to be very similar to a pattern in the blood of the elders. Similar, and this pattern is also the pattern with the most repetitions among all the patterns in the book, so some people think that this should be the real Tower of Swifts.
Seeing this pattern, Leo quickly had some inferences in his mind, and some things that he couldn't figure out before also had answers.
For example, why the broken pages of Night God's Sigh appeared in that world, why the white mist here led to that world, etc. Now it seems that this should be related to this wizard tower.
At this moment, Leo regretted a little. In that world, why didn't he go to the Tower of Swift to take a look. Javier also mentioned that the Tower of Swift was located on a lake in the Centerloch area.
But it's useless to regret now, he feels that it may be difficult to go to that world again in a short time, and it's not sure if the world he goes to is still the one before.
Because what he and Sylvia did there obviously changed the history there.
At least Javier mentioned that Angulane and others had died in the process of saving her, but they are still alive now, and there is no Knights of Light in Toussaint, let alone the Church of the Fairies of the Lake. So what he and Sylvia have done has changed history in a disguised form, so the world Javier is in may not be the same as the world they went to before, and if they go to that world in the future, they may It might be another world.
After unraveling some of the mysteries in his heart, Leo also lost interest in this place, and he and Sylvia turned back to the outside of the village, got on their horses, and walked down the mountain.
With the disappearance of the power of Ye Shen's sigh and broken pages, all kinds of weird things in the mountain were also much less, and they went down the mountain obviously a lot smoother, and with two more horses, the speed was much faster, less than two They had already returned to the town of Robe at the foot of the mountain when they were two hours old.
"I don't know how many days have passed?" Sylvia said suddenly: "If the airship leaves, we will be in trouble."
Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo also frowned, feeling that this matter was indeed troublesome enough.
Therefore, the two did not stay in Robe Town, and drove directly towards the place where the airship stopped.
Before reaching the mountain where the airship docked, they had already seen the huge airbag of the airship, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the place where the airship is currently docked is on the top of a steep mountain road, and it is impossible for horses to go up, so Sylvia handed over the horse to Leo. She returned to the airship first, and then found a large enough open space. After parking the airship in the open space, the horses were also transported to the airship.
When the staff on the airship saw that Sylvia and Leo got two horses and some items they had never seen before, they couldn't help but feel a little curious, but they were also very disciplined and didn't ask much.
When the airship took off again, Leo asked the staff of the airship how long he and Sylvia had been away, but the answer he got was only two days, that is, they basically did not respond to this question during the few months in that world. The side time has too much influence.
As the airship lifted off slowly, Mount Robe, where the rain and fog had dissipated, gradually moved away. Leo and Sylvia stood on the deck of the airship, looking at the vaguely identifiable mountain village, without saying anything.
Under the instructions of the airship pilot, the airship gradually raised its altitude and began to prepare for crossing the Minsk Mountains.
On the third day, the airship found a slightly lower peak in the Minsk Mountains, began to climb, and flew towards the opposite side.
Although this was the first time for an airship to climb over the Minsk Mountains, the process was not difficult. It was just that everyone was still nervous about it, and they didn't speak during the whole process. They only cheered when they knew they had crossed the mountain.
