Heaven's Formula

I saw the dusty door slowly swinging open to both sides.

"Ah...the seal is lifted." Qian Yan retracted his hands and said, "You are right, it is indeed quite easy."

Felton and Li looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What should we do now?" Fox Demon asked involuntarily.They had imagined many situations in advance, such as the princess being insane due to long-term detention, or the princess was weak due to poor supply for a long time, etc., and they also made corresponding preparations for this, such as anesthesia and nourishing talisman Everything is ready, and if it is serious, consider using the shock technique to stun directly.But the princess herself was unwilling to leave this kind of thing, which was completely beyond their expectation.

"Maybe it's a hint from Tallius to the master." Fleidon said in a deep voice, "No matter what, I want to see His Highness!"

After speaking, he walked into the cold and damp hall first.

Li and Qianyan looked at each other, then followed.

The environment here is incompatible with the courtyard hall where the singing and dancing outside, the air is filled with a rancid smell of decay, due to long-term neglect, patches of moss even grow on the corners of the walls.

After passing through the hall, the three saw a woman sitting against the wall.

She has long blue-gray hair that hangs almost from her shoulders to the ground. Perhaps this hair was shiny and smooth before, but now it is tangled like rags.

Her clothes were even more so. A robe was so torn that it couldn't even completely cover her body. It was hard to imagine that such a person would be a member of the royal family of the Nattany Empire.

"Are you sure she is Princess Muye?" Li frowned slightly.She realized a problem, since the ban prevented anyone from entering this bedroom, it meant that all supplies had to be transported through the narrow passage by the door.The food is okay, but the water is definitely not enough to wash the body, and it is impossible to talk about other expenses.

"Master, please forgive me for being rude..." Fleidon slowly stepped forward and knelt down, stretched out his hand to brush away the hair on the woman's forehead, his voice soon choked up again, "No mistake...she is the one I'm looking for ..."

Then he took off his jacket and covered him with it.

"Why can you open the ban?" The woman sighed, her tone was very soft, neither the resentment from being imprisoned for more than ten years, nor the haste before.She looked at Li and Qianyan in turn, "Is the mistress back?"

"No... I found other ethnic groups. It's a long story. It's better for us to leave the palace first."

"I...can't go."

"Why?" Feleton couldn't understand, "Did Talius do something to you? What is the agreement you mentioned?"

The woman was silent for a while before she spoke, "I was imprisoned voluntarily."

The three of them were dumbfounded.

"Only in this way... can Natalius be prevented from falling into a split due to the royal power struggle." She said slowly, "Talius came to me and said that he was going to become the king of the blood clan. At that time, no matter whether I have the idea of ​​fighting for power or not, There will be huge disturbances in the kingdom. At that time, countless people will die, and the kingdom will also decline. He said that I have two choices, one is to compete with him head-on, and the final winner will ascend to the throne; the other is to disappear in the world before, until there is no dispute over the ownership of the kingship."

"I don't want the territory of Natatin to be full of wars, so I chose the second option. Tallius also promised that I will never attack my subjects and supporters. It's just that this agreement cannot be disclosed to anyone, otherwise it will inevitably spread. It has been exploited by those who are interested, so it is normal for you to be unclear."

Chapter 685 Unexpected Reason

After listening to Princess Muye's narration, Li found that Sanyan's description of his master was actually true.What kind of gentle personality, caring for the world, dislikes fighting, completely different types of people from his second brother Talius, etc... all are not exaggerated out of some need, but the other party is indeed like this!

It's even worse than Freddie's description!

So much so that even the three-eyed Mr. himself was stunned.

"Has Talis fulfilled his promise?" Qian Yan asked suddenly.

"This..." Felton was dumbfounded for a moment. After the second prince took over the throne, he did replace all the princess's cronies, but other than that, he really didn't take any major measures to suppress it.The entire handover process was carried out very quickly. In less than half a month, the upper echelons of Nattatin completed the power transition, and there were no major disturbances within the kingdom.

Most of their losses and casualties later appeared in conspiring against Tallius and inquiring about the princess's information.

"But Your Highness—are you willing to be imprisoned here for the rest of your life?" He could only look at the princess again, "I know Your Highness has no intention of fighting for the throne, and I don't want you to be involved in the battle for royal power, but... this is definitely not you Where you should be, I can't leave you here alone to suffer!"

"Sorry for worrying you." The princess comforted him, "I didn't plan to be imprisoned for the rest of my life. According to the agreement, I only need to stay in Xila for ten years, and wait until the political situation in Nattatin is completely stabilized. By the way, How many years have passed now?" She was a little embarrassed, "This place is indeed more difficult than I imagined, and it is easy to forget the time if you can't see the sunrise and sunset..."

"Ten years?" Freighton opened his mouth wide, and then showed an extremely indignant expression.He clenched his fists tightly and replied bitterly, "It has been 14 years since the day you disappeared, Your Highness!"

"Is...is that so?" Princess Muye's tone was a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal, "Since there is enough time, I should be able to leave here, right?"

"Of course you can go out!" Feleton stretched out his hand to pull His Royal Highness up, "Talius didn't intend to let you go back to Silisti at all, as long as you stay in Hilla City for a day, he doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the Holy Wing Islands." You are obviously regarded by him as a chess piece that can be thrown away at any time!"

The princess didn't answer.

Her eyes hidden behind the ends of her hair dimmed a little, but her expression remained the same.

Perhaps in these long years, she has not expected this.

Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Not being able to return to Celestia is good news for Jinxia—as long as the other party can remove the evil erosion on Ning Wanjun's body, this trip to the West Pole will not be in vain.

"Anyway, let's evacuate from the old palace first." She gestured to the two of them, "It's not very safe here, and no one knows if those guards can repel the evil spirits."

"Indeed." Felton nodded, "Your Highness, please come with us."

"Hmm." Princess Mu Ye suddenly shouted to Li after walking a few steps, "Be careful, don't touch it."

Li's tail immediately stood up, "Is there an enemy? Or a trap?"

She glanced around, but found nothing unusual around her.

"No... it's a soul that hasn't dissipated." The princess took two steps away from the fox demon, as if avoiding something, "It's been here longer than me, so it's better not to touch it it is good."

Li felt a pimple on his back, "Can you see the... soul of the dead?"

"I don't know if they count as things left by the dead, because not everyone is like that." The latter replied frankly, "It can neither speak nor have consciousness, but it is indeed there."

The fox demon couldn't help swallowing.

She has an indescribable fear of this invisible and intangible thing.

"Okay, we'll study this kind of problem later." Qian Yan interrupted, "Leaving here is the real business."

The group of people just ran out of the gate of the bedroom, and then heard an explosion that shook the ground!

I saw thick smoke billowing from the woods in the western suburbs, as if a thunderstorm had just been experienced, the sky above the city of Hilla became even darker red, and even the light in the royal palace area decreased a lot.The shadow of the courtyard wall dragged so long that it almost filled all the walkways, and the interior of the palace, which was originally full of fighting and screams, also presented a deathly silence.

"What's going on here?" Princess Muye looked at Freddie in surprise, "You won't bring an army to attack the Holy Wing Islands, will you?"

"No, you are worrying too much." Fleidon whistled twice towards the outside of the courtyard, but he never got the slightest response.His face darkened, "The statue ghost is gone..."

"Because the sunlight has weakened." Qianyan said calmly, "Mei's ability to act in dark light and no light is completely different. Now even two or three Momei can easily kill a group of fully armed soldiers. Now There can only be one reason why there is no sound heard in the palace."

All the living people have been killed by the evil spirits.

Li's face was solemn, "And if we want to return the same way..."

"We have to pass through most of the palace, and there are still many dark areas on the road. As for how many evil spirits are waiting for us there, it is basically unknown."

"Damn it, how did the situation become like this!" Freddon gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that after finally saving the princess, escaping from the palace would become a dangerous thing.

"Aren't you able to fly?" Qian Yan shrugged, "The governor Tular who attacked Jinxia City before could turn into black smoke and fly around."

"You mean Shado-Pan, right? That's an advanced technique of the Nat family, not everyone can perform it."

"How about... let's go back to the bedroom first, seal the door, and wait until tomorrow?" Princess Mu Ye suggested.

"If it is a sunset under natural circumstances, you can do this. But the current abnormal situation is obviously related to the God's Advent Ceremony, and I'm afraid I won't wait for a turnaround if I stay here." Li resolutely vetoed, "Since there are not many people in the palace. A guard, we don't have to go out of the city the same way."

After she finished speaking, she turned to the side, transformed into a giant two-tailed fox, and threw the three of them onto her back one by one with one claw.

"Qianyan, I will leave it to you to find the way."

"Hey, I knew it was going to be like this." Qianyan sighed, and cast a xinxing spell, a smooth ice road with steps gradually condensed out, pointing directly to the city wall closest to the bedroom.

"Be careful, the demon is coming!" Freddon reminded loudly.

Attracted by the breath of the living, several ghosts followed the shadow of the palace wall and surrounded them at such a fast speed that it was almost impossible to lock them with the naked eye.

Li raised his snow-white tail and flicked it towards the entrance of the inner courtyard. In an instant, several thunderbolts appeared out of thin air, forming an impenetrable lightning net!

Then she leaped onto the road to the sky made of solid ice, and rushed through the towering outer wall of the palace amidst lightning and thunder.

Chapter 686 The Light on the Top of the Tower

……

After running for several miles against the wind and sand, the tower half hidden in the sand dunes finally appeared in front of Xia Fan.

From a close look, you will find that its volume is by no means small, and its outline is similar to a four-sided pyramid. Except for the lack of apex, it looks like a special pyramid.On each slope of it was a long staircase leading up to the top platform, above which the silver light was clearly discernible.

At this time, the sandstorm was too big to be ignored. He had to cover his mouth when he spoke, otherwise his mouth would be filled with sand.

"We... are at the top of the tower now?" Taxis whispered.

"It's likely to be." Xia Fan looked up at the sky—after experiencing several times of earth-shaking roars, the cracks in the night became wider and wider. Through these gaps, he saw a piece of burning scorched earth, and The Dragon's Saliva River is reflecting red light everywhere.Such a magnificent view is definitely not something that can be seen on the surface, and it is basically the same as that leaning ancient stone tower from a bird's-eye view.

"It turns out that Denglong Road does not need to climb all the way up. You can also walk on a flat path...ahem...you can also reach the top of the tower." The girl's eyes were full of sighs.

"So you have indeed completed the dragon-climbing assessment." Xia Fan took the time to chat with the other party while climbing up the stairs against the increasingly strong wind.

He noticed that Taksis's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and in terms of her character, she was definitely not the type of person who would give up easily, so simple encouragement was meaningless.He could only use constant conversations to improve her mind, so as not to completely fall into shock at this time.

"With your strength... can it be counted?" She forced a smile.

"What the tower says is fine." Xia Fan said confidently, "If anyone has any objections, let them speak to Denglong Tower themselves."

She glared at him angrily and amusedly, but didn't continue to refute.

Soon, the two climbed to the Banpo position, and saw that the top of the tower was close at hand.

However, at this moment, a purple beam of light suddenly illuminated the entire sky—it passed through cracks, fell straight to the scorched earth, and then smashed into countless flashing lights!What blocks it is a layer of transparent barrier. Under the reflection of thousands of light spots, one can see that the barrier extends upward from the earth, as if enveloping the whole world.

What followed was an even more violent tremor!

Xia Fan finally knew why the tower received wave after wave of shocks.No matter where the beam of light came from, it meant that someone was attacking Denglong Pagoda.

And this level of long-distance strike is definitely not something that ordinary spells and artillery can achieve.

The tower can last until now, thanks to the transparent barrier that blocks most of the impact, but from the cracks in the sky that are getting wider and wider, it can be seen that this barrier is far from being able to handle it with ease.

What will become of the stone tower the moment it breaks, this question can be guessed without even thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan sped up his movements a little more - the only hope of getting out of the tower now lies on the top of the tower, and he must leave the Dragon Climbing Tower before the defense collapses!

But the violent vibration almost made it impossible for him to move an inch. Every time he arched his body a little, the wind pressure he received would suddenly increase a lot, and he had the illusion that he would be washed away at any time.At the same time, he was holding a dragonborn in his arms, making it impossible for him to completely stick his body on the stone ladder.

Worse than that.

As if to confirm his conjecture, the barrier that had been struggling to support burst open half a breath before the purple beam of light disappeared!

The moment it shattered, streamers of light like sparks instantly engulfed the entire night sky.

Several deep cliffs suddenly appeared in the desert below, the sand dunes toppled down, and dark red lava spewed out from the bottom of the ravine.

In this devastating scene, the tower under their feet also began to overturn and sink, and the originally vertical staircase gradually turned into a straight road.Countless cracks spread on the stone, and the crackling sound kept ringing, and the entire stone tower was about to fall apart!

"Hold on to me!" Xia Fan didn't have time to think too much, he ran a few steps quickly, and then jumped out of the stairs with a sliding shovel, using inertia to slide directly on the slope of the tower, his speed increased several times in an instant.

Taksis also understood what her partner was thinking, she stretched out her only hand that could move, and made her fingertips transform into dragon claws, and the moment they were about to leap to the top of the tower, she clasped them into the stone wall!

Her fingers snapped at the sound!

But this "anchor point" also slowed down the sliding speed of the two of them a lot.

At this moment, the top of the tower had completely overturned, becoming a vertical façade, and the silvery center was exposed to them for the first time.

It was an object similar to an obelisk, with a round gemstone embedded at its bottom, and the shimmering silver light also came from that gemstone.

"Is this really an exit?" Taxis' voice became a little anxious.

"Anyway, we have no other place to go!" Xia Fan took a deep breath, kicked his legs and jumped towards the obelisk, and when he was about to pass by, he used all his strength to grab the edge of the obelisk, soaking himself in the silver light .

At this moment, the surrounding noises suddenly disappeared.

Even time seemed to stand still.

He felt those silver lights flow into his mind like a tide, and they were arranged into cubes in the depths of his consciousness in an orderly manner.

What's the situation?

Since Climbing Dragon Pagoda has the ability to create such a real illusion and send him from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower silently, why not send him back now?

Could it be... I really guessed wrong, this lighthouse-like building in the sand sea is not the so-called exit?

What are those silver squares?

Thoughts are like tentacles.

The moment Xia Fan came up with this idea, his consciousness was connected with the cube.

All the scenes in the field of vision turned into incomparably deep darkness, and even Taxis in her arms was nowhere to be seen.The only thing that exists is the information that is constantly pouring in from the cube.

Is this... the reward for ascending the Dragon Pagoda?

No, Xia Fan realized that it was not just as simple as becoming a dragonborn—it was more like the essence of ascending the Dragon Pagoda.

In the complex and vast information, he saw the constantly enlarged details of his body, as well as the information connected with it: muscles, bones, blood vessels, cells... and even deeper genetically encoded information.

And he can not only see, but also understand the meaning of the information.

Those coding fragments originally contained a large number of useless base pairs, but they have a new definition under the assignment of new information.By adjusting and reorganizing fragments, they implicitly contain almost infinite possibilities.
