Chapter 534: Chapter 52 Tower of Oblivion
Xia Ye Yinghuo didn’t think too much; she happily twirled around in her new clothes, thoroughly enjoying the sparkling and extravagant style.
It was a piece that Anvis had created when he hadn’t yet broken through to the Seventh Rank—the combination of Alchemy and Magic-guided Mechanical—casually named by Anvis as "Magic Crystal Dance". And now, giving it to her as a reward was quite appropriate.
At the same time as receiving this dress, the Last Dragon Descendant and Xia Ye Yinghuo also received notification of the completion of the "Explore the Maze" task and the accompanying experience rewards.
Taking advantage of the Last Dragon Descendant’s live stream, numerous players who saw a glimpse of the dress’ attributes were once again shocked and also very curious about the identity of this lucky female player, all the while persuading the Last Dragon Descendant to ’quietly’ reveal her identity.
Landing right at the end point? Even movies wouldn’t dare to be so bold, right?
The glimmering crystal dress was indeed spectacular, but the comical duck mask worn on the face of the player girl somewhat diminished its beauty.
Xia Ye Yinghuo was aware of the Elf’s live streaming, but being a loner, she didn’t want to expose her own identity, so she donned a duck mask as a disguise.
Ever since she inexplicably topped the combat power rankings, Xia Ye Yinghuo felt things were going south. What if some bigwig took a dislike to her and decided to have her beaten up? What then?
She was currently Lorna’s linked body, and she was extremely worried about losing her adorable Lorna; she didn’t dare to die even once.
As for the audience’s requests, the Last Dragon Descendant was equally helpless.
Previously, when the player girl exchanged identities with him, she used her character’s name rather than her player nickname. Most importantly, even if she knew he was the famous former professional team captain, she was very cautious and not planning to add him as a friend.
Since she concealed her nickname, the Elf could only see her character name through the party panel and was still unaware of Xia Ye Yinghuo’s real identity.
"Let’s head up then, there’s no point in staying here any longer."
On the other hand, Lanno, who had regarded the Last Dragon Descendant with some suspicion, finally spoke up.
Having encountered too many shocks in a short period of time and already having obtained their key objective for the visit, Prince His Highness no longer had the inclination to stay here any longer.
Anvis had no objections to Lanno’s decision. He was following Lanno now because he was worried that the latter might die unexpectedly and, incidentally, to take the opportunity to fleece some wool off the Royal Family.
Once unanimous, the group spent about half a day to return to the surface and found a relatively intact house to settle down in briefly to replenish the Spell materials and scrolls they had used up.
"You and your companions still have about two Magic Times before you meet up. I will now introduce some information about that key, and I hope you’ll be able to explain later what exactly the deal is with those attackers."
Sitting on a chair made of Pearl Rock, Lanno, tired, rubbed his brows and looked deeply at Anvis, who seemed to be carelessly fiddling with the ’key’, before he initiated the conversation.
"Anvis, I don’t know if you’ve heard of Boxi Mis, the legendary city from the Ancient Golden Age where hundreds of races mingled?"
"Founded by High Elves, it’s the only massive city that wasn’t a Floating City, where some Giant Dragons and Titans gathered and settled, and numerous ancient races went there for trade.
It disappeared with the end of the Ancient Golden Age, but its ruins have not been discovered to this day, and it is suspected to have been completely destroyed in the great rupture."
Anvis casually recited the information he remembered about Boxi Mis, looking indifferently at Lanno as a sign for him to continue.
"To be exact, it hadn’t been discovered up until today."
Looking at Anvis who appeared to have understood something, Lanno’s gaze was somewhat fervent.
"Yes, the city beneath our feet is none other than the legendary metropolis where a hundred races converge! And that tower at the heart of the city is the legendary Tower of Oblivion!"
"At the top level of the Tower of Oblivion, as recorded in the Royal Library, stands the Legendary Silver Titan, Casenos!"
"The Legendary Silver Titan, Casenos?"
Having listened to Lanno’s introduction, Anvis nodded in enlightenment, his gaze involuntarily passing through the window and fixing on the rocky tower at the city’s center.
A true legend and moreover, a legend of the Titan Clan, this indeed warranted Lanno’s profound interest.
After discussing the matter of the key, Anvis also briefly shared with Lanno the information that might be related to the previous attacker, including the Esoteric Practitioners and Priests he encountered on the island.
The moment they saw the Magic Shield of Rai’s Egg Shell, they blurted out about Divine strength, which clearly indicates a likely close connection to it.
After exchanging information, everyone once again braced their spirits, preparing to explore the Tower of Oblivion.
However, at the same time as their information exchange, an unprecedented change was quietly taking place within the Radiant Secret Realm.
Although the strange being at Prince Lanno’s side failed due to Anvis’s unexpected intervention, the majority of the other attackers succeeded.
When their numbers reached a certain threshold, as if by some bizarre pact, they nearly synchronously began to draw a peculiar dark green symbol on the ground.
Upon completion of the symbols, with a surge of power that shot straight into the sky, the eternally unchanging, bright whitish-gray sky of the Radiant Secret Realm flickered unstably for a moment.
While it may seem boundless, the Radiant Secret Realm, as a secret realm, ultimately has its boundaries.
It is like an enormous dish covered by a ’lid’ of whitish-gray sky.
But now, under the influence of some ancient and bizarre external force, the whitish-gray sky of the Radiant Secret Realm began to gradually contract inward.
At first, no one noticed this change, but as the whitish-gray sky steadily advanced closer, some of the Nobles’ heirs who landed near the edge of the secret realm finally detected something amiss.
Upon seeing everything touched by the ’whitish-gray sky’ silently vanish into the chaos of time and space, people were desperate, using every muscle, fleeing frantically towards a direction away from the sky.
Simultaneously, the Nobles’ heirs who had been inhabited by monsters seemed to have received some kind of order, converging towards the core area of this Radiant Secret Realm, which is the ancient city of relics where Anvis and the others were located, Boxi Mis.
At this moment, still unaware of these developments, Anvis and his companions finally reached the base of the Tower of Oblivion.
Anvis looked up, his eyes on the somewhat dilapidated exterior but still awe-inspiringly towering rocky tower. On the black gabbro gate, one could only faintly discern a Titan Language character for ’tower’.
He might not be as familiar as Lanno with this ancient city, but he did understand this tower.
The existence of this tower actually predates Boxi Mis. The city where a hundred races converge was built entirely around the Tower of Oblivion.
The Tower of Oblivion is not its true name, but merely a sobriquet. Its real name has been forgotten in the long passage of time, and even the tower itself has forgotten, only able to be substituted by ’Tower’.
The Radiant Ruins built by the Star Cluster Civilization, like a time capsule, have ’cut out’ a corner of the world from the Ancient Golden Age and placed it here for subsequent civilizations to explore.
Orbins had long been waiting here, and after all members of the squad gathered, the group immediately entered the tower.
Although the target location is said to be the top of the tower, due to the presence of magic, it is impossible to directly enter from the top.
