Chapter 168 Detecting the Remaining Magical Power
The blue sword stuck in the chain golem's chains was shrouded in smoke.
Vifiya was about to unleash her power when she noticed from the corner of her eye that Nerys and the other two were gone, so she glanced over.
Just as she was distracted for a moment, the chain golem's hook hit her back!
Vifiya exerted force with her right leg and suddenly flashed, and at the same time a long sword was thrown at her quickly.
"Zheng!"
The sword and the chain collided violently, and the chain bent uncontrollably in mid-air.
The long sword sank deep into the soil.
Vifiya half-crouched to steady herself, but before she stood up, a figure holding a long sword ran towards the chain golem.
The chain golem was motionless again, and the man thrust his sword into its head.
"Crash!" The chain, which was not clear whether it was due to rust or was originally dark red, instantly fell apart and scattered on the ground.
Vifiya stood up, raised her eyelids, and ignored the dizziness in her head. She saw everything.
She remembered him, the red-haired tower keeper of Samson Tower.
He had been behind her the whole time? No wonder she always felt something was wrong behind her even before she recovered her memory.
If he was the one who took Nerys and the others away, then she wouldn't have to worry anymore.
The young man held a sword in one hand and a dagger at his waist in the other. He kicked the chain vigilantly and turned to look at Vifiya who was observing him.
"So, you were following me." Weifeiya subconsciously concealed other emotions, including the irritability and unhappiness that had not dissipated, leaving only calmness.
The red-haired girl raised an eyebrow in surprise, obviously not expecting that a child like her could actually notice him following her, but...
The red-haired man grinned. He wouldn't admit it. "How can that be considered stalking? I'm the tower guard of Samson Tower. I have an obligation to protect you, a bunch of disobedient brats."
"Duty?" Vifia murmured with her head down. She closed her eyes slightly, her head feeling dizzy. Not only the past, but even the memories on St. Fagus Island became vague.
But fortunately, there are still sporadic clear fragments of memory.
"Is that so?" Vifiya pointed behind him nonchalantly. "It's your turn to fulfill your obligations."
"Clatter!" The loose chains were quickly retracted and reorganized.
The moment the sound rang out, the red-haired girl quickly jumped to the side.
His lazy expression slightly changed, and he gripped his sword tightly, just as he was about to stop the chain golem from reassembling, but he saw the chains that had not yet been fully reassembled moving towards the silver-blue transparent stone circle.
The two of them just watched as a pile of chains crawled past.
Until the iron chain was completely placed in the stone circle, the light silver-blue lines suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
The light went out and the chain golem disappeared into the cave.
Vifiya concealed the thoughts in her eyes. She really wanted to use the teleportation array to get out, but once she ran to be with the chain golem, who knew where she would be teleported to?
"I'm sorry." The red-haired man put away his sword and spread his hands. "The opportunity to fulfill my obligation has slipped away."
"Okay, the other three kids have gone back." He turned to face the child he had mistaken for a devil when he first met him. "You should come with me."
Vifiya ignored him and her eyes did not leave the teleportation array.
There were two things she needed to do.
The first is to protect the safety of the three children, and now the safety of the three children has been guaranteed.
Then the second one...
She took a step forward and walked towards the teleportation array.
The red-haired man lowered his eyelids, but did not move immediately. He watched Vifiya walk step by step towards the transparent stone circle.
Vifiya squatted down outside the circle. The silver-blue lines were very similar to the teleportation array that became blurred in her memory.
How can I activate the teleportation array?
She doesn't have any magic power, that's definitely not possible. Should she borrow Valega's power?
She quickly denied it, saying that she had used her power not long ago and was not sure whether it would be discovered by the rules of the world.
There must be a solution, but all her memories are blurry, and Vifiya is even more upset.
I can't go back to the state where I didn't remember anything at the beginning, right?
She knew she couldn't be impatient, nor could she miss the opportunity to contact the teleportation array.
She carefully recalled her memories since arriving on St. Fagus Island.
She came here because Nerys left the tower without permission.
Why did Nerys leave the tower without permission?
because……
Her dizzy head froze for a moment, and Vifiya found the answer from the subtle details in her mind.
Because of drug testing.
Who will be tested on the drug?
Her attention was slightly focused on the tower keeper at the back, and yes, there was also an administrator.
Vifiya tapped her fingertips beside her, "Administrator Maggie..."
She repeated it silently and quickly connected the fragmented memories together. If this place was related to the place where drugs were tested, there were no traces of drug testing around, which means that there was a great possibility that the teleportation array was used for transportation.
The person responsible for sending the children for drug testing is Mrs. Maggie.
She glanced down and looked at the corner of her eye where a tiny silver light, different from the silver-blue, was flashing in the gap between the stones.
Vifia knew that the red-haired man was staring at her, so she calmly moved closer to the stone circle. In the blind spot where he couldn't see her, she carefully reached down with her left hand and gently pried it apart.
She stared at the lines left and right, carefully stroking the depressions on the surface of the object in her hand. Her pupils moved slightly when she recognized the words formed by the depressions.
She turned the sword in her hand over, bringing the blade close to her wrist, and stretched out her fingers as if to touch the lines of the teleportation array within the circle.
The redhead finally couldn't stand any longer. He took a few steps forward, squatted down, grabbed her arm, and warned her quietly: "Good girl, don't be too curious."
Vifiya turned her body slightly and hid the thing in her clothes.
She looked at him intently.
The redhead's attention was drawn to her sword, and he asked in surprise, "What kind of sword is this?"
He had noticed a long, deep groove on the cave wall since he arrived. He leaned a little closer to her and asked curiously, "Did you make that?"
Vifiya raised her head and moved away from his approach: "No."
Her memory is fuzzy, she is not stupid.
She did it, but she couldn't admit it. It was fine that she had to use Valega's power in front of the three children, but how could she admit that she had unusual powers?
She knew the art of denial.
"Really?" There was doubt in the red-haired man's eyes. Even though he felt the girl's resistance to his approach, he did not move away, but stared at her closely.
The girl in front of him didn't look away, and there was a subtle sense of confrontation between the two of them.
"Dong——" Water droplets from the unknown luminous plants on the cave wall dripped into the deep pool, which was particularly obvious in the silent cave.
The redhead pouted, looked away, and shrugged nonchalantly, "Okay."
He turned his head to observe the long gully, and suddenly realized something, and his hand suddenly reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Faster than him was the blue-bladed sword, which pressed coldly against his neck.
The girl held down the tip of his sword with her left hand. She didn't use much force, but he knew she was warning him.
As expected, the girl said calmly, "You don't want to bet on whether you are faster or me."
The red-haired man stared at her again. It was unreasonable for a child to threaten an adult. Not to mention the difference in strength, he also had more than one sword on him.
He couldn't help but feel like teasing her, and he said with a playful smile, "I remember your name, Xiao Hui, right?"
Vifiya did not answer.
"Whatever you intend to do, put your sword down first. A good boy shouldn't hold a sword against a tower guard."
The redhead thought she was being reasonable: "I can pretend nothing happened. You are still the good kid that Clover thinks you are."
"This good boy bravely braved the danger to save his friend who had left the tower without permission and bravely entered the perilous area. What a kind heart! Even I, the tower keeper, was moved."
After these words, the blue sword did not move at all.
The red-haired man raised his eyes, unable to help but look at the girl with a hint of scrutiny, but he didn't sense any change in the girl's expression or even her mood.
His fingertips moved slightly, something was not right.
Vifiya gripped the hilt of the sword expressionlessly. She felt pain in her palm and continued to exert force.
The redhead remained motionless, her neck aching and warmth running down her spine.
"You seem to have made a mistake." The black-haired girl in his sight was full of innocence, which was consistent with her current childish appearance.
"Your life or death." The girl's voice was soft, and the strength in her hands was increasing. The sharp blade slowly penetrated into his neck, staining his collar red.
Vifiya laughed mischievously: "What does it have to do with me?"
He just died in an accident while fulfilling his duty.
She tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "How could I possibly kill you?"
How could a child kill an adult?
As if asking if it was justified to kill him like this: "Isn't it, Tower Keeper?"
The last of the smile slowly faded from the redhead's lips.
Whether all her threats are true or not depends on the fact that the long gully was not created by her and that she would not really dare to kill him.
But now, he didn't understand the first point, and the second point seemed to be that she really dared to do it, and she had even thought of a reason.
If the long groove was created by her, he really couldn't bet on whose sword was faster.
Ah, it's like a real devil.
"What do you want to know?" the red-haired man asked. He didn't want to die here. He was still young and didn't like gambling.
Seeing that she had achieved the desired effect, she then asked, "How do I activate the things in the circle?"
She changed her words so as not to reveal that she knew it was called a teleportation array.
Hearing this, the red-haired girl looked at her strangely: "You want to leave St. Fagus Island?"
Vifiya's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Oh my God, this is too stupid!"
Vifiya ignored his rudeness.
He laughed so hard that his laughter trembled. The wound on his neck gradually deepened with his movements. The pain and the smell of his own blood finally made him stop.
He looked at Vifiya as if he were looking at a pitiful person. He changed his mind and answered honestly: "I don't know how to start it. Maybe you can ask Madam Maggie."
Vifiya stood still, observing the truth in his words, but his answer was within her expectations.
He really didn't know that the tower keeper was not an administrator, and the probability of him having more authority than the administrator was extremely low.
She put away the sword swiftly, and now it was the red-haired girl's turn to be surprised. How could she not have any doubts?
He had no sense of being threatened. His eyes showed interest in her: "There were people like you before, who lost their memories and wanted to find their memories and leave."
He chuckled with gloating pleasure: "Do you know what happened to him in the end?"
"He killed himself."
For some reason, Vifiya always felt that his expression was a little familiar.
She didn't delve too deeply into it, and was obviously not intimidated by the red-haired man.
She stood up, brushed off the dust on herself, and raised her eyes: "Tower Keeper, the time has come to fulfill your duty."
The redhead was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what she was talking about.
"Ha!" For the first time, he was speechless and wanted to laugh.
She was threatening him just now, but now she is openly asking him to protect her and return to Samson Tower.
But he couldn't refuse, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Madam Maggie.
He took a deep breath and stood up.
"Oh." He glanced at the little girl and said reluctantly, "You have to follow me closely. Otherwise, if anything happens, it will not be my fault."
After saying this, he went to the sword stuck in the ground and put it back into his waist.
Vifiya followed behind him, the sword in her hand dissipated, and the golden rune on her wrist also disappeared.
She raised her eyes to look at his shamelessly exposed back, with indifference in her eyes, trying to suppress the discomfort of being a little dazed.
It wasn't like she really wanted to kill him.
Dewdrops condense on the tops of the glowing plants on the cave walls.
“Bang—”
Falling into the deep pool, without a sound.
The deserted cave was quiet again.
The robed woman stepped out from the cave wall. She extended her hand, sensing the remaining remnants of magic.
She looked thoughtfully in the direction where Vifiya and the others had left: "Buma Lingda Lie."
