Chapter 574 Ihailes in the Bloody Tower
The City Lord’s Mansion, the Bloody Tower,
At the bottom of the ancient and dark tower, a figure sat quietly On top of a tall throne, in mid-air above the throne, an illusory ball of light kept scattering little bits of light.
The figure on the throne is as skinny as a stick, as if every trace of flesh and blood has been drained away by long time and endless suffering, leaving only skin and bones, like a ghost breaking free from the edge of hell.
Above the high tower, countless scarlet blood poured silently from the top of the tower, like a waterfall controlled by invisible hands, with a strange silence and ominousness. The plasma intertwined into thin streams in the air, and finally gathered at the bottom of the tower, gradually forming a pool of blood that was as deep as the figure's knees.
The scarlet plasma surged and twisted in the pool, like twisted life. Every fluctuation released a heart-stopping and crazy killing intent, as if it could penetrate the flesh and reach the depths of the soul.
The surrounding air is filled with a suffocating smell of rust and corruption. It is the smell of blood and time, making people involuntarily feel an indescribable fear and depression. And the figure sitting on the throne seemed to be integrated with the sea of blood, becoming an inseparable part of this terrifying scene.
In this realm soaked in plasma, time seems to have lost its meaning, leaving only eternal silence and the idea of killing hovering in the air. And that scrawny figure is the master of this place, sitting on the throne in an extraordinary posture, seeming to be quietly waiting for something and guarding something.
Li Si was flying in mid-air above the tower, looking down at everything in this bloody tower.
His eyes instantly swept through all the scenes in the tower. Li Si, who had no time to be surprised, suddenly saw the thin figure sitting on the throne suddenly raised his head and glanced at him high in the sky.
His eyes were sunken and shone with an unearthly light. It was a gaze that was mired in deathly silence, but it seemed to contain the light of some unusually firm will.
Li Si clearly didn't feel any killing intent, but he felt terrified for a moment, as if some great danger was about to come.
In an instant, the scarlet blood in the entire bloody tower boiled. Under the influence of extremely terrifying and vast magic power, it turned into countless bloody arrows and struck Li Si.
Damn!
Li Si's face changed. The thick malice emanating from those bloody arrows made him dare not touch them at all.
He was certain that these arrows condensed from scarlet plasma might even contain divine power, which he could not withstand even in legends.
Li Si didn't even cast the magic shield, and just used space teleportation to leave here.
After those bloody arrows lost their targets, they dissipated in mid-air, and the scarlet plasma left behind also returned to the bloody tower.
With Li Si's departure, the blood-colored tower returned to its previous calm, and even the simple barrier left by Li Si was not broken.
The figure sitting on the throne in the bloody tower lowered his head again and stopped moving like a mummy.
A moment later, Li Si's figure appeared on the roof on the edge of the City Lord's Mansion, looking towards the backyard of the building with lingering fear.
Although the bloody tower has disappeared, it is because of the effect of Li Si's concealment barrier, which naturally cannot block his sight.
After seeing the blood-colored tower return to calm, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.
Today brought him too many surprises.
The originally imagined mage tower of Ihailes did not appear. Instead, an extremely evil bloody tower appeared.
That was not a mage tower at all. Li Si felt that it was more like an evil altar for sacrificing lives!
How many lives have to be sacrificed to gather the scarlet blood river in that bloody tower!
The reason why all the people in this small town turned into undead creatures was because they became sacrifices to the bloody tower?
Did Ihailes do it?
Li Si was a little undecided.
When he saw the thin figure in the bloody tower, Li Si almost didn't react.
I thought it was also a corpse, just like the unknown strong man in the hall of the city lord's palace.
But when the figure raised his head and glanced at Li Si, the terrifying magic power that followed made Li Si almost sure of the identity of the skinny figure.
Legendary Necromancer Ihailes!
He is actually in this bloody tower!
The possibility of a second legendary mage appearing in this small town is almost zero, so Li Si can be sure of his guess.
So he was the one who attacked Li Si in the Golden Coconut Hotel before, but because his body was not there, he did not pursue Li Si, but continued to protect Juou?
But Li Si always felt something was wrong.
Especially the figure sitting on the throne of the blood pool, Li Si could feel the coldness and ruthlessness in the other person's eyes, and there seemed to be no rational existence.
This is not like a legendary mage who would create an entire city of the undead for his beloved.
Could it be that countless years have passed and Ihailes has completely lost his sanity?
Li Si wasn't sure, because he just glanced briefly and aroused the attack of the skinny figure.
But there are also problems with this place.
If Li Si tested Juou at the Golden Coconut Hotel, it was because Ihailes still needed to protect Juou, so he did not pursue Lis, then why did Ihailes appear in this bloody tower? Will Si let him go so easily?
You must know that Ihales is a powerful legendary mage, not a legendary warrior.
Although Li Si's space teleportation is very fast, it cannot completely escape the control of this legendary mage.
Not to mention that Li Si only teleported to the edge of the City Lord's Mansion in order to observe the situation in the Blood Tower, and did not leave too far.
This distance is nothing to the legendary mage, but that is when Ihailes let Li Si go.
The feeling that Ihailes in the bloody tower gave Lis was like the golem guards in the secret labyrinth, which would only repel any adventurers who dared to approach.
After repelling or killing the adventurers and confirming that there are no enemies within the warning range, the golem guards will return to the place they guarded.
If this is really the case, is this a deliberate arrangement by Ihailes?
Li Si shook his head. This guess cannot be confirmed at all now.
He will definitely not return to the Scarlet Tower in the short term. A legendary necromancer who may have lost his mind, and a being far more powerful than [Wrath of the Storm], Li Si does not dare to This guy is jumping so much in front of me.
In addition to the thin figure who is suspected to be the legendary mage Ihailes, the bloody tower is also quite suspicious.
The bloody liquid hanging over the tower was most likely obtained by sacrificing the lives of the residents of the entire town.
This is not the point. After all, they are all dead lives. Li Si is ready to face any tragedy.
But the faint aura of divine power contained in it surprised Li Si.
Could it be that the bloody tower was a place where sacrifices were made to a certain evil god, so the aura of divine power appeared?
This seems to be the most appropriate guess, but Li Si has never seen the emblem on the bloody tower.
It's not the evil god in his impression. Could it be an extremely low-key evil god, or a certain evil god who has passed away?
Li Si felt that this bloody tower was not done by Ihailes.
If Li Si’s guess is true, then Juou most likely lost his life in that sacrifice to the evil god.
What Ihales did was inconsistent. Sacrificing his beloved to the evil god with his own hands?
Li Si felt that judging from Ihales' behavior in creating this illusory town, he would not do such an extremely crazy thing.
Besides, Li Si felt that the thin figure that was most likely Ihailes could control the bloody tower, but it gave Li Si a feeling of being out of place. The bloody tower gave Li Si an extremely wild and crazy feeling, but this feeling was not reflected in Ihailes.
In Li Si's opinion, it is more likely that Ihailes was also a latecomer and controlled the bloody tower.
That would make sense for a lot of things, especially about Juou.
And when Li Si took a quick glance at the tower just now, he discovered that on the bloody throne, there was an illusory ball of light the size of a human head suspended in mid-air, emitting a misty, colorful brilliance.
Chains composed of countless arrays of magic patterns appeared from this illusory ball of light, wandering away in confusion around, disappearing in mid-air, seeming to be connected to somewhere.
The moment he saw this illusory ball of light, Li Si knew that this should be the core of the illusion that enveloped the entire town.
It seems that Ihailes is using the power in this bloody tower to maintain the operation of the illusion of the entire town?
Li Si felt that this guess should be true, but Ihailes’ choice made Li Si not sure how to evaluate it.
I didn’t know that an entire city’s residents were sacrificed, and the gathered power formed this bloody tower. As a result, Ihailes used it to build an illusion, allowing the residents to transform into undead beings. , continue to exist.
Li Si didn’t know what those residents thought, but he would definitely not accept such a life.
Even if you can have eternal life, what's the point?
However, Li Si really wanted to get the core of the illusion.
After thoroughly mastering the legendary concealment array arranged by Ihailes, Li Si could feel that the core of the illusion contained all the knowledge and magic pattern arrays that Ihailes had mastered.
If he can get this illusion core, Li Si will be able to master all of Ihailes's research on illusion spells.
However, the core of the illusion is located on the throne. Li Si has to think twice before approaching the bloody tower again, let alone approaching the throne where Ihailes is.
etc!
Throne?
Li Si’s expression changed, and he suddenly remembered something.
While observing the interior of the bloody tower, he vaguely saw the pattern of an unsheathed sword on the back of the throne.
“No way”
Li Si looked a little strange, jumped off the eaves, and walked towards the interior of the city lord's palace.
Arriving in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Si once again looked at the white bones sitting on the throne in front of him.
"Is that so?"
Golden Coconut Hotel,
Taya was lying on the bed in the room, yawning, wearing thin white pajamas, with sleepy eyes.
She has nothing to do these days. Although she often goes shopping with Juou, she can't go out every day.
Juou still has to stay in the store to help, even though old Milo has asked her to relax and spend more time with Taiya.
Taya did not force it, but followed her friend’s wishes.
She could feel that Juou was a very simple-minded person and didn't think much about anything else.
While Juou was helping in the shop, Li Si also stayed in the city lord's mansion for a long time to study the hidden magic circle. Taiya had nothing else to do, so she thought of exercising with a long sword in the backyard of the hotel. After a while.
It can only be said that Taiya's outstanding appearance and heroic temperament are really attractive. Even though Taiya seems to be very strong, there are still many people who do not know life and death and want to strike up a conversation.
Taya ignored them and "sent" these people back casually. After doing this several times, no one dared to offend again.
After learning about this, Old Milo looked at Taiya with a strange look, while Juou was a little envious.
Although no one will harass her, if she can become as strong as Taiya, will Kazeri be able to leave together?
So, Juou also wanted to learn from Taiya.
Taiya naturally did not refuse this, and helped Juou do some basic training in the past few days.
Juou's performance is impressive, and he has persisted in some connections that are difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Although this may be related to the special characteristics of Juou's body, it also shows the mental tenacity of this little girl, otherwise she would not be able to endure this hardship.
Taya and Juou just finished training, washed off the sweat on their bodies, returned to the room and were about to take a rest.
At this time, Li Si opened the door and walked in.
Taiya saw that Li Si suddenly became energetic and all his sleepiness disappeared.
Looking at the sky outside the window, Taiya asked curiously:
“Why is it so early today?”
“Li Si, have you completed the analysis of that magic circle? Is it done?”
Yesterday, Li Si told her that she didn’t know how long it would take. Didn’t she expect it to be completed so quickly?
"That's true."
"But what the hidden magic circle hides is indeed beyond my expectation."
Li Si nodded, and then told the story about the bloody tower Tell all to Taiya.
"Legendary Mage, Li Si, are you not injured?"
Taya heard that the bloody tower may have gathered the lives of the residents of the entire small town. Her face turned pale, but she still decided Concerned about Li Si's safety.
"It's okay. I think His Majesty Ihailes' condition is a little abnormal."
Li Si touched Tai Ya's head and comforted her.
"What to do after that?"
Taya looked at Li Si. Previously, Li Si planned to see if the clues to break through the seven-day cycle were hidden behind the hidden magic circle.
The fact is that as long as the core of the illusion is shattered, the seven-day cycle formed by the illusion will naturally end.
But that's not what Li Si and Taiya can do now.
There is only one way left.
