Eighth Crown

The peeling city of Adela is located deep in the mountains. Even in the late summer night, the deep mountains are still gloomy, and the temperature is frighteningly low, as if it has already indicated the unusualness of this castle.

In the darkness of night, Liu Xia quickly crossed the mountain road and came to the vicinity of Peeling City.

Even from a distance, the exterior of Peel City still feels quite offbeat.

In terms of scenery alone, this castle is undoubtedly comparable to many famous castles in the UK. The city walls are made of carefully calculated and cut marble. Behind the castle is a quiet lake reflecting the beautiful moonlight. Around the lake There is also a dense forest.

Castles, lakes and forests are all natural to each other, forming a very beautiful scenery under each other, giving people a sense of solemnity that seems to come from a fairy tale.

But while the scenery is beautiful, the castle as a whole has a seriously depressing vibe.

Although the castle forms a perfect sense of circulation with lakes and forests, as a man-made building made of marble, it is a very strange thing to integrate itself with the environment. a sense of difference.

Moreover, although the marble used to build the city wall is not uneven at all, the spire of the castle is bent like a spine bearing an inexplicable weight, and the half-collapsed city gate is like a broken rib, giving people a painful impression.

From Liuxia's point of view, the entire castle seemed to have an extremely incongruous sense of incongruity.

Although he knows some common sense in magic, he doesn't know anything about real knowledge. He can't see what kind of principle this castle is made of, but it doesn't prevent him from saying "this castle is probably not friendly". idea.

"The owner of this castle, I am afraid that the castle has been run into an airtight magic workshop."

While thinking so, Lucia came to the vicinity of the castle.

The so-called "magic workshop" refers to a kind of magic fortress that magicians transform their residences into through various methods.

The transformed magic workshop is the magician's own domain. A brick or a drop of water in it may become the enemy of the foreign magician. Generally speaking, in the magic workshop, the magician can exert his greatest strength. own strength.

And the city of separation is the magic workshop built by its owner, the magician Gryon Ashbourne.

"No matter what the magic workshop is, as long as it doesn't have the ability to kill and kill, it's not a threat to me."

Liu Xia didn't care about the dangers it might contain, jumped up from the wall around the castle, and ran up the city wall at a speed that surpassed the naked eye. Before the gravity could react, he was already there. Arrived above the city wall, came to the stripped city.

"According to Jean Mario, the owner of the Strip City, Gryon Ashbourne, is dead, and it is estimated that there will soon be a fight for his inheritance... Before those who may compete for his inheritance arrive, I will Let's go find a room and rest."

Although his body does not feel tired, his spirit is still limited. He has rushed over all the way, and he is still prone to mental fatigue.

In the castle, it can be regarded as a complete silence. Even the servants should be in deep sleep now. Liu Xia easily sneaked into the castle and found an empty room on the first floor near the hall.

There seems to be the word 'Michael' on the door, which should have some special meaning, but Liu Xia didn't know anything about it, so she didn't pay much attention to it and walked in.

After walking into the room, Liu Xia immediately drew the curtains, so that the sun would never have the chance to shine in the sun after a few hours. After getting ready, Liu Xia got into the closet and rested.

In this divestiture city where an accident may occur, unless there is a situation where he must be exposed, Liu Xia does not intend to easily expose himself to the eyes of the magicians.

Once he is exposed to the eyes of magicians, his demonic nature is likely to be discovered. If something really happens here, he is definitely the first person to be suspected.

Demon nature is different from breath, breath is something that naturally radiates out, but demon nature is from the inside out, and you have to face it directly before you can discover it.

With Liu Xia's ability to hide his breath, unless it was face-to-face, it would be impossible for the magician to detect the strange magic from the air, but conversely, once face-to-face, the possibility of exposure would exceed 50%.

Therefore, unless necessary, he will never expose himself to the eyes of magicians.

It's not because of lack of strength. In fact, even if the magician who appeared in this castle swarmed up, the possibility of being instantly killed by him with three or two moves is still more than 90%.

However, Liu Xia came to this separation city, in addition to planning to complete the [ability value improvement task], there is actually another purpose.

He intends to find out if there is a famous clock tower among these magicians who may come to the city of stripping.

In order to complete the [Spiritual Renewal Mission] of entering the Clock Tower to learn magic, he had to find a way to join a famous Clock Tower gate.

Otherwise, as a ghost, he wants to enter the clock tower, that is, tigers enter the flock - yes, tigers enter the flock, not sheep into tigers - he may not be how, but at least the task of learning magic will never be. may be done.

If there is no famous clock tower in this group of people, then Liu Xia will kill all the people in the stripped city, so that he should be able to complete the [status value improvement task] - as long as you kill the troublemaker, then It's also a way to solve the problem, isn't it?

…………

the next day.

When Liu Xia woke up from her sleep, it was almost evening.

Outside the room, several servants seemed to be walking around, as if preparing dinner.

Liu Xia didn't go out of the closet, but continued to hide, mobilizing the magic power originally used to suppress hunger into her ears, and began to eavesdrop on the conversations of people outside the room with her powerful hearing.

in the castle hall.

One after another, guests visited the Stripped City, and from their conversations in the hall, Liu Xia gradually began to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"It seems that there are not only famous clock towers, but even noble magicians from other countries..."

Liu Xia, who was hiding in the closet, blinked slightly, trying to seek her own interests in this matter.
