The airship Ash was on was heading for the territory of the Fifth Wizard Tower, beneath the Pale Throne.
During the trip, Ash was briefed on the general situation of the Fifth Wizard Tower.
The Prince family was in the territory of the Fifth Wizard Tower. The position of the Fifth Wizard Tower had been won by wizards from the Prince family for many years.
The entire territory has been consolidated through generations of management by the Prince family, and now it has almost become a small kingdom of the Prince family.
Even if an outsider were to manage this territory, I'm afraid no one in the territory would be willing to accept it.
Therefore, a strange situation has emerged in the Fifth Wizard Tower: every time there is a battle to seize the tower, no outside wizards sign up. Those who participate in the battle are all members of the Prince family. Fighting the battle to seize the tower is like an internal family exchange activity. Regardless of winning or losing, the identity of the owner of the wizard tower is passed on to the family members.
The reason why the Prince family has taken root here from generation to generation is because this territory is backed by the Abyss Mountains and borders the Undead Swamp. Although these two places are extremely dangerous, they grow countless precious magical plants. For the Prince family of potion, it is like a back garden with rich supplies.
Ash listened to Ivan and Yelena introducing the Fifth Wizard Tower to him one after another. Halfway through, he felt that the place name "Near Abyss Mountains" was particularly familiar.
He had a good memory and quickly remembered that this was what Sigourney had mentioned to him - Sigourney had escaped from Rachel's wizard tower through a teleportation array and was teleported to the Near Abyss Mountains.
And when he was in the academy, he seemed to have said this when he was provoked by Lawton Bloomer, the grandson of the owner of the First Wizard Tower - "Admiration? Admiration for that vampire? Who doesn't know that he killed all the wizards and magical creatures in the Near Abyss Mountains? He killed humans and his own kind! The corpses on the mountain range were piled up like a mountain! That bloodthirsty executioner!"
Of course, Ash already knew how rumors could distort the truth, so he didn't just believe Lawton Bloomer's malicious words. But one thing is for sure: a lot of things happened to Sigourney in the Near Abyss Mountains.
He glanced at Sigourney, who had been resting with her eyes closed since she boarded the airship. Sigourney had told him about her past, but she only told him a part of it, starting from Rachel's wizard tower and ending with him escaping from the wizard tower and meeting Uncle Meng.
What happened before this experience? What tribe of elves is Sigourney from? Does she still have any family members? How did she end up in Rachel's hands?
What happened after this experience? How did he meet Lord Nance? How did he find Ivan and Yelena on the road? How did he get to the Brilliant Throne and seize the tower?
It was not known whether his gaze was too bright or Sigourney was too sharp, but his furtive glance was quickly caught by Sigourney.
The beautiful and elegant vampire lazily raised her eyelids, glanced at him, and then closed them again.
At the same time, a voice sounded in his mind.
"What's up?"
Ash opened his eyes slightly. What happened? He seemed to hear Sigourney's voice? But Sigourney didn't speak, and no one responded...
"Calm down." The voice that acted directly in my mind also carried the chill of its owner's voice, "Use your mental power to touch the contract on your arm."
Ash did as he was told, but when his mental power touched the contract, he suddenly had an idea: "Sigourney?"
"Um."
"What's this?"
"The role of the contract."
"Just like last time in the Crystal Forest, when you entered my spirit world?"
"almost."
"How amazing! Can we communicate through the spirit world in the future? When did you discover that this was possible?"
"……recent."
In fact, it has been discovered long ago. Entering the other person's spiritual world is much more advanced and difficult than simple spiritual communication. Even the higher-level entry into the spiritual world has been completed, so low-level spiritual communication is naturally a piece of cake.
But Sigourney thought that there was no need to build such a communication platform with Ash. Normally, he would be choked to death by Ash just by talking with his mouth. He didn't want Ash to go directly into his mind and stir up trouble.
He was afraid that he would hold Ash down and spank him three times a day to vent his anger.
"Liar," Ash called him out.
Sigourney: “…” See, just like this.
So he had already decided that he would never remind Ash before he discovered the purpose of the contract. Why did he not reveal himself when Ash secretly glanced at him just now?
"Oh, I'm sorry." Ash said hurriedly, "I couldn't control my thoughts..."
Ash was a little annoyed. If it was a normal conversation, he would not have exposed Sigourney's lies. After being out of the village for so long, he had made some progress. But now they were communicating with their minds, and he was not proficient in the business. Some words were not passed on in time, and they were passed on anyway.
Sigourney: “…”
"Sigourney, I want to know..." Ash cleverly changed the subject. Sigourney asked him what was the matter at first, but he hadn't answered yet. Should he ask about the past that Sigourney didn't mention?
He hesitated for a moment, and then, being unskilled in the business of mental communication, he once again transmitted his unformed and intermittent thoughts to Signy.
"In the past?" Sigourney's tone was emotionless. "Want to know?"
Since his thoughts had been exposed to Sigourney, Ash stopped trying to defend himself and responded, "I do."
"..." Sigourney was silent for a while, "When we get to the Near Abyss Mountains, I'll take you to a place."
Ash: "Yeah."
The conversation between the two ended quietly.
Half a day later, the airship arrived at the territory of the Fifth Wizard Tower of the Pale Throne and temporarily landed in a small town called Dandy, dropping off Ash and his group.
Ash got off the airship and saw Yang Prince waiting next to the small helipad.
She was not tall, with a sweet and lovely face. She seemed to be waiting for them here specially. When she saw them, she raised her arms and waved vigorously, smiling brightly.
The anaconda orc standing next to him was the same one he had seen before, with a cold and handsome villain face, but a dull and honest expression, and he didn't look intimidating at all.
"What a hospitable host." Yolande said with a smile, "It seems that we can complete the transportation mission without going to Prince Manor."
The quest item was with him, so he quickened his pace and walked in front, ready to hand the quest item - a box with God knows what in it - to Yang's hands.
Ash looked up at the sky.
Although both are located in the north and are shrouded in the polar night, the sky above the Pale Throne is very different from that above the Radiant Throne.
The night sky of the Brilliant Throne is clear most of the time, and you can see deep into the galaxy at a glance.
However, the sky here is covered with a thick layer of leaden clouds, which weigh heavily on the sky and are particularly obvious in the night sky. It is conceivable that when the polar night ends and the sun rises over this land, the sunlight may not be able to penetrate the clouds, let alone shine on the earth.
In the travel notes he had read, it was written that in the territory of the Pale Throne, in the area protected by the Wizard Tower, the sky was always covered with dark clouds. These dark clouds were not formed naturally, but a layer of magic barrier of the Wizard Tower.
Under this cloud, all dark creatures are protected and can walk openly in the daytime.
Logically speaking, the territory of the Pale Throne is the most suitable place for Signy to live.
However, when Ash mentioned this issue, Sigourney sneered: "You can't see the stars there, right? The old man is already pretty useless. If he goes to a place where you can't see the stars, what use will he be?"
So they had the ability to seize the tower of the Pale Throne, but in the end they chose to seize the tower of the Radiant Throne.
Even in the Brilliant Throne, for Sigourney, there is only half a year of absolute freedom.
When the polar night that lasted for half a year faded and the sun rose again, the vampires had to be bound in the wizard tower again.
Calculating the time, the polar night in the north will end in another month.
