Platinum Throne

"There is still a day and a half to go, and I can already see the edge of the valley, and there is an elemental panic in the wind. I think that if I go forward for half a day, the elements will decrease sharply. By then, We had no choice but to walk."

The young man of the Winged Tribe is called Rick, and he is not a manipulator, but an excellent scout.He was a taciturn young man, and when he fell from the sky, he was silent.He didn't look at others, but just reported to Norma what he saw, and after he finished speaking, he just took a step back, stood aside, and waited for Norma's order.

"Pretend."

The centaur clicked his tongue, and when she saw Rick turn his face towards her, she immediately frowned.The dwarf, on the other hand, was fiddling with the props in his hand, and patted the centaur's arm comfortingly, causing Irene to snort very dissatisfied.

The behavior of the centaur attracted Norma's attention.

At the next moment, Caroline's voice rang in Norma's ear: "The centaur and the winged tribe are blood feuds for generations, and they are not in harmony with each other."

Norma didn't move, but quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at Rick again.And Caroline's voice came chattering: "Am I useful? Sitting next to you, I can answer any questions for you."

Norma touched her ears wordlessly, performed a silencing technique for herself, and then said to Rick: "I see, our direction is correct. As for the others, we will see when the time comes."

Even though the valley is part of the Platinum Tower, it has always been deserted.Eva even saw the words "No entry" written crookedly on a stone tablet.Judging from the degree of weathering of the stele and the surrounding scenery, this place is simply a place where few people set foot.

The mountains around the valley are not high, and they are covered with dense plants. The degree of elemental loss is hardly felt at all. You can feel it when you watch the earth element moving crookedly, finally losing control of its own shape, and finally collapsing.

But in the end, before the earth element dissipated, he still insisted on carefully placing the master in his hand on the ground.Norma looked at the earth element in front of her, and tapped lightly on its forehead. The metal covering the limbs of the earth element suddenly turned into light spots and dissipated. up.

"Wow." Eva yelled, sitting firmly on the centaur's arm, with a condescending feeling, looking at Norma who was looking towards her, "It seems that we have to walk, don't we?" ?”

Norma glanced at her sideways: "Yes, we still have a day's walking distance. The elements are insulated and unable to use elemental magic, but there are still many monsters living inside. Although they can't use magic, their physical power is very strong. , I hope everyone be careful."

Although she said be careful, Norma didn't seem to care about the attitude and response of her companions at all, she turned around and walked forward.

Caroline didn't follow, she just touched her chin and smiled a little.The "companion" this time - let's call it the companion, is the "most suitable" candidate selected after discussion in the meeting.It is guaranteed that every faction and team that can speak can get a share of it.And Norma, as the leader, has always been on the sidelines.Caroline originally thought that Norma's noble temperament might not quite understand the twists and turns in it.But now it seems that this is not the case.

"Interesting." Caroline laughed, stepped forward, and stood side by side with Norma.She lowered her voice a little, still soft and coquettish, and it landed on Norma's ear, slightly itchy: "My mentor, how can we, a mage like you, move forward? You know, I didn't get it before. Any relevant news, can not be fully prepared..."

As she spoke, Caroline moved her hands sideways. Behind her, there were two human mages with ugly faces. They were wearing excellent mage robes, but they obviously did not belong to the Platinum Tower.

Norma touched her ears, looked at Caroline, and Caroline didn't dodge, and smiled brightly at her.Norma took out something silently, which was a hexahedral metal object.Norma took out an oak wand, tapped it lightly, the metal object immediately made a cracking sound, and finally turned into a strange-looking thing with a width of two people.From the two leather cushions above, it can be seen that at least two people can sit on it, and the disc-like thing seems to be something that controls the direction.

Caroline was thinking about it when Norma sat on it, took out a magic spar and pressed it down.This strange thing suddenly roared, and the lines on its body lit up one by one, looking very beautiful.

"Ah! Magic crystal car! Why do you have things from my family!" Eva screamed.

And Norma just turned her head and glanced at her, then twisted the small button next to the magic spar.Caroline saw that the sound made by that thing was not right, so she jumped into the car with quick eyes and hands. At this moment, the magic crystal car made a sound, crushed the green grass, and sped forward.

The sound of the wind whistled past her ears, and Caroline grasped the railing beside her, her face turning pale.She watched Norma skillfully turn the steering wheel, easily dodging the messy branches and stones.Caroline took a deep breath, finally calmed herself down, and had more energy to get closer to Norma.

"Dear tutor, there are no elements here, how is the magic spar driven?"

"Elements and magic power are not the same. If magic power is like the ocean, then elements are like fish that can only live in sea water. Magic spar is magic power, not elements." Norma explained, turning her head to look at Carlo again Lin, her golden eyes were full of reproach, "This is the foundation of the foundation. If you ask me such a stupid question again, don't call me a mentor."

Caroline laughed. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found Norma's expression of "Are you an idiot?" Caroline touched her nose and gave up her plan to tease Norma at this time , turned to another topic.

"When the earth element dissipated, you liberated it. Why?" When the earth element appeared in the main material world, the metal ring on its body was the embodiment of the magic deed.Most people will not unlock the deed when the element dissipates, to ensure that the same element will respond to itself next time - after all, as a kind of intelligent creature, not every element will respond to a mage's call.

"That's a contract, not a slave's bracelet." Norma replied, her brows were still indifferent and quiet, as if what Caroline asked was nothing.She steered the steering wheel neatly, turned the magic crystal car in one direction, and explained at the same time: "So it can't be called liberation."

After answering Caroline's question, Norma stopped talking.As a mage who works at a desk for a long time, Norma usually doesn't do any sports.Fortunately, driving such a magic crystal car requires more concentration, which is a basic quality for a mage—of course, maybe not including the smiling little fox beside him.

Caroline didn't know that her mentor was slandering her for being unprofessional in her heart. When she saw Norma's eyes drifting over, she gave her a timely and quick smile, but Norma quickly turned her head away. No attention was paid to Caroline at all.

Caroline shrugged.

The surrounding area is filled with the unique damp smell of plants in the mountain forest.Occasionally, the Winged Clan could be seen catching up quickly in the sky, but as the elements fled, the assistance that the Winged Clan could get became less and less, and gradually, even this disappeared.And the magic crystal car still has enough power to carry the two of them forward.

The current weather is very good, but this is a rainy season after all, the water vapor is buried under the rotten leaves, mixed with many rotten substances.There is a blue mist floating in the forest.This is not a common water mist, but a miasma, which is poisonous and extremely harmful to the human body.If it is normal, it is enough to open an air barrier.

And now?

Caroline touched her pocket and took out two small pills. She frowned and took one, licked her lower lip, trying to get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth, and pinched the other towards Norma stuffed.

"What is this?" Norma's voice was full of disgust, and she looked at Caroline with distrust.

Caroline paused, and replied with a good temper: "It's a pill, to prevent miasma..." She squeezed the pill and leaned towards Norma's mouth.

Norma closed her mouth tightly, refusing to open her mouth.And Caroline laughed: "What are you afraid of? Even mine...you have eaten..."

Before Caroline finished speaking, Norma had already opened her mouth to enclose Caroline's finger. Her tongue was as nimble as she remembered, she swept away the pill, bit Caroline again as if in revenge, and closed her mouth again. on the mouth.

"It hurts." Caroline replied without changing her expression, put her fingers in her mouth, and raised her eyebrows at Norma, "But the taste is sweet."

"Shut up!" Norma yelled with veins on her forehead, and turned her head away, ignoring Caroline.

So Caroline's happy laughter sounded in the quiet mountain forest.After a while, the laughter stopped abruptly, and Norma felt the people around her approaching her.She was furious in her heart, and she was not as calm as usual when she looked at Caroline: "What are you doing! Let me tell you..."

"Hush" Caroline gestured with a serious expression, "Didn't you notice? It's too quiet around here."

Norma's heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that there had been no sound around her since she didn't know when.There was no sound of the wind or the sound of insects. It seemed that there were only her and Caroline left in this world.
