On the way back to the Brilliant Royal City, the closer we got to the city, the denser the patrols and search teams became.
On the surface, they were searching for the killer in the royal city last year, but in reality they were secretly keeping a close eye on whether Sigourney showed up.
After Meng easily extracted information from the mercenary, Ash also realized that many people in the royal city did not want Sigourney to go back, especially at this critical moment when the battle for the tower was about to begin.
Even though most of them believed that Sigourney was seriously injured or even dead and would never come back, due to their long-standing fear, they still set up the final layer of the dragnet to ensure that even if Sigourney was lucky enough, she would not be able to break through the layers of obstacles and return to Nance in time.
Let's take a step back and say that even if the tight net he set up couldn't stop Sigourney, but if Sigourney broke through the layers of obstacles and made a noise, it would definitely expose his whereabouts, right?
Sigourney, whose identity was exposed outside the royal city, will face even more terrifying and intensive sniping.
But no one could have imagined that Sigourney had a man named Ash Elwyn who had extremely accurate intuition by her side.
Faced with a dense network of obstacles ahead, Ash can always point out the tiny flaws and find the safe and accurate exit direction, perfectly avoiding the enemy's sight.
Silently, they bypassed the layers of defense and successfully entered the Brilliant Royal City.
They arrived at the royal city on time.
It was the day before the final battle of the tower capture war began.
It was almost evening when they arrived at the Royal City. The three of them did not go to the Third Wizard Tower. God knows how many eyes were watching them at the Third Wizard Tower. Even with Ash as their navigator, they could not avoid all the sights.
So he simply found a hotel and pretended to be an ordinary tourist who came to the royal city to watch the excitement. After settling in, he had a good night's rest. He was even in the mood to place a bet at the casino branch next to the hotel and bet on Lord Nance to win.
Meng looked at the high odds of Mr. Nance's side and smiled happily. It was a sure win, and he would definitely make a fortune. But when he looked at his pitiful capital, he became depressed again.
He was very principled and heartbroken when he rejected Ash's offer to lend him money. He looked at Sigourney with his eyes wide open. He couldn't take the gold coins from his juniors, but if Sigourney wanted to lend him money, he would not refuse.
Sigourney rejected him coldly.
Meng, who could only invest less than ten gold coins in the end: “…” He felt like he had missed out on 100 million.
The next morning, the three of them rested enough, left the inn, and followed the flow of people on the street towards the Throne Wizard Tower.
Halfway through, the three separated.
Ash and Meng blended into the crowd and acted as ordinary spectators.
And Sigourney...
"Scarlet Moon still hasn't come back?"
On the Abilos Avenue, Nans arrived on time in the teleportation of silver-white starlight. Arriving at the same time as him was Alex, the owner of the First Wizard Tower, and Thomason, Nans's challenger today. Behind Thomason stood a cat-like orc whose strengths were agility and swiftness.
When the three of them appeared, huge cheers broke out all around.
Uncle Cook, who had just met Ash, also stopped and said in surprise, "Hey! They appeared! They appeared! Who is Mr. Nance? Who is Mr. Thomason?"
Amid the cheers, Alex seemed concerned but actually spoke to Nance with ill intentions: "The duel is about to begin. Scarlet Moon might not be able to make it." He smiled confidently, his old face calm, and kindly suggested, "Do you want to change a guard to go in with you? Otherwise, do you want to fight Thomason and Garo alone?"
Galaro is probably the name of the cat-like orc.
Nan Si was alone, but still calm and composed. He smiled and shook his head: "Thanks for your concern, but I still don't need to change him. If Scarlet Moon knew that I replaced him with someone else, he would definitely explode with his temper."
Alex frowned imperceptibly. He had always felt that Nance was not one of them because his attitude towards magic materials was so funny.
What tone?
Just a guard, just material, why are you talking so intimately?
If you don’t know, you might think he was talking about his own son.
Since we are not on the same path, there is no need to walk together.
Alex snorted inwardly, he couldn't see why Nance had the confidence to remain so calm. He must be holding on for the sake of the grey wizard's pride.
He stopped talking to Nans and turned to look at Thomason, smiling and saying, "The honor of the First Wizard Tower rests with you. I wish you good luck in taking the tower."
Thomason was also an old man with wrinkles on his face. He had heavy eyes and said bluntly, "Wait for my good news, sir." He was completely arrogant and confident, without caring that Nance was standing next to him.
"Time is up."
Ash muttered quietly to the crowd.
Many people around him were saying the same thing as him.
Time is up.
It's time to enter the Throne Wizard Tower.
The tightly closed door of the wizard tower in front suddenly opened, revealing the dazzling interior.
It is said that the first floor of the Throne Wizard Tower has a very high dome, and from top to bottom, including the four walls, there are galaxy patterns painted, just like the star murals in front of the Brilliant Academy, vivid and lifelike. When people are in it, it seems as if they are completely in the flowing galaxy. What's more valuable is that the galaxy pattern itself is a magic circle, and each star and each trajectory corresponds to the real constellation one by one, which is particularly inspiring to astrologers.
Therefore, countless astrologers are eager to enter the first floor of the Throne Wizard Tower.
Ash also looked inside the tower curiously, but unfortunately, he could only see the dazzling silver light inside the door but could not see the specific appearance of the interior.
When everyone's attention was attracted by the opening of the wizard tower, the three parties involved had already walked to the door.
Alex only sent Thomason here, he was not allowed to enter.
He looked at Nance's still empty side, as if he had seen the scene of victory in advance, and a smile couldn't help but flow through his tense face and onto his lips.
"The door is almost closed." He looked at Nance and smiled smugly, "Good luck."
In the crowd.
Cook suddenly turned to Ash and said, "I still like Mr. Nance more." He nodded in self-affirmation, "It's much more comfortable to look at."
Ash: "So you can't go wrong buying him."
"...But it seems that Lord Nance is not as fierce as Lord Thomason, right?" Cook hesitated. Looking comfortable often means being non-aggressive.
Ash smiled and raised his hand to point to the empty space on Abiros Avenue: "It's okay, there's a more fierce one over there."
Cook subconsciously looked in the direction of his fingertips and saw a person, a person who was clearly not there just now, appear there.
When his eyes met that person's face, his chest suddenly shook violently. A breath got stuck in his throat. After a long while of grunting, he finally uttered an unbelievable cry: "Fei, Feifeifeifeifeifei——"
"Scarlet Moon!"
"Oh my god! Look! That's the Scarlet Moon!"
"The Scarlet Moon is back!"
There is a kind of person who is the focus of attention as soon as he appears.
The presence is extremely strong.
Even if there are three heavyweight giants ahead, even if the atmosphere ahead is tense and ready to explode, when he appears, everyone will notice his arrival at the first moment.
Long silver hair, pale skin, light leather armor - only the eyes are dark red, the color is gorgeous and breathtaking.
He walked towards the open door of the wizard tower step by step in his hard leather boots.
Walking elegantly and freely.
It's like going to a party.
Everyone's eyes were on him.
Some people marveled at his perfect appearance and powerful aura.
Some people were wondering how he managed to return to the royal city intact.
Some were surprised and angry that he arrived at the wizard tower at the critical moment.
The conspirators behind the tower-grabbing battle must be furious and frightened at this moment.
Because from this moment on, the outcome of the tower battle was no longer as easy as they had imagined.
The tall, thin vampire walked up the steps and came to Nance's side. He gave a half-hearted, apologetic smile, "Sorry, I overslept a little."
Nans didn't look surprised at all, and remained as calm as before: "Isn't this in time?"
"You, how could you?!" Alex, on the other hand, no longer had the confident look he had just now. His expression was still calm, but from a closer look, one could see that his eyes were wavering. "Impossible!"
"How is it impossible?" Sigourney said coldly, "It's just good luck."
He and Nance walked toward the door and chuckled, "The door is almost closed. Um... good luck."
The smile on Alex's lips finally froze completely.
