Platinum Throne

The White Rock Wasteland is already in a mess.

The stone pillars that served as the magic circle were still standing in place, while the rest of the place had collapsed, creating large pools of magma on the ground.

Centaur settlements have never been too close to the Endless Sky Pillar, in order to avoid confrontation with the winged tribesmen.But now it is the best preserved.The centaurs and the winged tribesmen were divided into two distinct camps, because the contract relationship with golden light emerged from their bodies before, which made the two races, who were feuds, lose the pillar of hatred for a while.

But years of hostility still exist, which has created the current situation.

As if Caroline didn't see this scene, she took Norma's fingertips and led her to the tent where Eva was.Norma glanced at the people of the two tribes who were obviously still a little dazed, and then looked down at Caroline and the hand she was holding.Caroline's body temperature is of course not as high as Norma's of the abyssal blood. It is icy cold on her fingertips, as if she will melt away in the next moment.

Norma couldn't help tightening her fingers as she thought about it.Caroline paused, she turned her head, smiled at Norma, and lowered her voice: "I'm right here."

Not going anywhere.

Norma didn't know if she understood Caroline's implication, her fingers did relax a little more.But the next moment, Caroline held her tightly.

"Does the mentor know about the contract between the two races?" Caroline asked.

Norma shook her head, she gently stretched out her hand, and tapped in the void.A magic rune emitting a dim light emerged out of thin air, and the next moment, Freya appeared in a much smaller size.The elemental monarch showed unexpected peace and nodded to Norma.

"What's the deal with the contract?" Norma asked, she paused, and asked again, "Can you answer?"

"What's wrong with that?" Freya laughed out loud. It was a collection of wind elements, and the sound was transmitted through the air to the ears of everyone present almost instantly.

Norma wanted to say something when she heard the sound of a centaur's hooves.Norma closed her mouth and looked towards the person coming.Here comes Irene Thundercaller.The female centaur, who had always looked vigorous, was now visibly haggard and tired.She saw Norma's eyes, and turned her complicated eyes to the Lord of Wind beside Norma.

After just a few breaths, the centaur adjusted his mood.She bent down and bowed to Norma, then straightened up: "Your Excellency, please wait until I gather people together to talk about this history."

"We need to know too." It was Rick Hawkeye who spoke.This winged tribesman broke away from the dazed state of his home being destroyed for the first time, and also put aside the hatred with the centaur and stood up for the first time.It's just that when facing Erin, he still felt a little guilty, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of Eva..."

"...It's my fault." Irene didn't blame Rick for this.As the thunder caller in the centaur group, her status is different from others.Although she had done something to betray the gods, the contract in everyone's body was so shocking that for a while, no one raised any doubts.

"Go and see Eva first, and then I need to gather the tribe. Please..." Irene looked at the Lord of the Wind, her expression was complicated, and her mouth was bitter, and finally she lowered her head, "Please You must tell us the truth."

"I'm going to gather the clansmen too." After Rick finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away.

And Irene made way out of the passage. She looked at Caroline and Norma standing side by side, lowered her eyes, turned her head and walked in the direction of her clan.

Abandoning the gods he has always believed in, the centaur will definitely be rejected by the gods.And in order to fight against this disgust, Irene has no idea whether to seek refuge in a new god or to follow another path.But her people are more confused than she is, and she can't stop there.

The two left quickly.Caroline turned her head to look at Norma: "What does the tutor think? About them."

"This is their business, and I shouldn't be discussing it." Norma remained as indifferent as before.

Caroline sighed, she looked at Norma: "You are already a demigod. Now that the two elemental monarchs are by your side, the future is almost conceivable. Don't you have any plans? God A country needs a cornerstone, and a divinity needs a beacon."

"That shouldn't be decided by me." Norma's answer was still stiff, with a little stubbornness, "I am a mortal, a life created by my mother for a certain purpose. They are not like this, they They are free. Their future should be decided by them.”

This sentence... is really too sad.

Caroline thought, she looked at Norma, Norma didn't show any expression, she was always like this, saying such words seemed to be telling a fact.

Caroline stepped forward and hugged Norma tightly. She whispered in Norma's ear: "No, you are free... Please believe me."

Norma shook her head, her fingers running along Caroline's back.The woman's back is straight but supple, and when she slides down, she can feel the spines one by one.Thinner...Compared to when she was in the Platinum Tower...Norma's thoughts spread out, she has not hugged Caroline so closely for a long, long time, it is real, not felt from an illusory dream The opponent's body and temperature.

And the real is always warmer than the unreal, and it is also more difficult to face up to.

"I'm not free, and all of you want me to go in one direction."

"...you want yourself to be stronger." Caroline looked up into Norma's eyes, "I just hope that you will move forward according to your own expectations. Powerful, you want to get rid of the Platinum Tower."

"I didn't want to get rid of the Platinum Tower." Norma replied.

Then, defeated in Caroline's clear eyes, she whispered, "Well, I just want to be free. But that doesn't mean I don't like the Platinum Tower."

"Of course." Caroline suppressed a smile, "It's your home."

Norma tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly: "I know that many people's families will not be very happy, and there will be various problems, but home is still home—in this sense, It really is my home."

Caroline laughed, and she took Lanoma's hand: "Then let's go and see Eva—she is one of your few friends. We should go and see her."

Norma didn't object.She knew the dwarf was out of danger, which meant she didn't have to waste any more time on the issue.Her time is precious. Judging from the performance of the centaur and the situation revealed by Moll before, the attitude of the gods towards the element pipeline is not consistent. It is very likely that there is a bigger crisis waiting for her ahead.

The establishment of an element pipeline needs to be approved by the element lord, so that when infinite elements circulate in the main continent, the element lord will play a role in balancing the elements.The gods of earth and nature wanted the power of the elemental lords.In other words, from the current point of view, her direct enemy is a real god.

As for herself, she was a mixed-blood mage who was lucky enough to gain a bit of divinity, and had entered the demigod realm for less than three months.

That sense of urgency and pressure has been weighing heavily on Norma's heart.But at the same time, there is also a kind of unyielding momentum.

But now, she was being led by Caroline, the flames burning inside her body and the sense of crisis burning to her tail seemed to be isolated by a warm thing.She looked at Caroline, feeling so clearly for the first time.

She wanted to stay with this woman and not leave.

why?

Norma thought.

Is it because the other party said that her purpose is to fulfill the wish that "Norma Hill" wants to fulfill?

The corner of Norma's mouth couldn't help ticking up.

The dwarf was lying on the bed, her complexion didn't look very good, and the rise and fall of her chest was so weak that she almost couldn't see it.But she was still alive, and there were no wounds on her body.

"Using the great light technique, the wound is healed. But the arrows of the winged people have elemental damage, and she will suffer like this for a long time. Until the element that causes damage in the body fades, or she can go one step further and directly suppress the element .” Caroline explained the dwarf’s injury.

But it is impossible for a dwarf in a coma to take a step forward. In other words, if the dwarf's injury is allowed to continue, it is very likely that she will face a fall or her body will suffer permanent damage.

Norma looked down at the dwarf, and lightly tapped the dwarf's body with her fingers.Caroline felt the dancing of the magic tentacles. Norma stuck out the tentacles and felt the elements in the dwarf's body. She drove Freya to drive out the wind elements.

"I am the lord of the elements, the hurricane, the sharp blade, and the fury! Didn't I share the authority with you! Don't you know how to do it yourself!" Freya babbled to express her dissatisfaction.

Norma thought about it and nodded in agreement.The crown reappeared on her forehead, and the cyan color of the wind element was shining on the crown. Under Freya's command, Norma carefully drove the wind element out of the dwarf's body.

Caroline looked at Norma from the sidelines. The authority of the Wind Lord fell on Norma, which made her look like a real god.Seeing Norma withdraw her hand, Caroline smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's completely different from the feeling of the operator." Norma replied, she lowered her head and opened her hands, so the wind elements rolled their bodies and moved towards Norma's hands. Norma said while feeling, "Like my body, like my eyes. We seem to be one."

Norma who spoke like this, the crown on her head between reality and illusion became more real, and the cyan gem symbolizing the wind element became brighter and brighter, which also made the cyan under Norma's eyes brighter and brighter, even To surpass her own golden pupils.

Caroline had a bad premonition in her heart, she grabbed Norma tightly, and her voice was full of panic: "Mentor!"

Norma looked at Caroline in confusion as if she had been awakened suddenly.She patted Caroline's back lightly, and she came back to her senses: "I won't get lost."

Caroline hummed, she thought that Norma still needed a beacon to prevent her from getting lost in the elements and eventually being assimilated by the elements.A dark light flashed in her eyes, Norma didn't need to do many things herself, she could.
