Mary is not the Annan that she feels directly.

Winterheart doesn't have that ability.

"It's really Annan!"

After listening carefully, Maria suddenly opened her eyes.

She "heard" Annan's voice.

Yes, hear—Maria could already hear Annan's voice when she was as close as she approached her to this extent.

Theoretically, the location of the Tower of Storm is in the province of San Felix...... It is also the destination of Nigel's trip, the vicinity of the "Coldwind Fortress".

The straight-line distance is really very close, not even twenty miles.

Of course, since it is said "theoretically......

In other words, if you really follow the map, it is absolutely impossible to find the Storm Tower.

The reason is simple.

The location of the Tower of Storms is the exact location identified on the map...... Three kilometers directly above.

It is not like the Church, which is held up by huge mountains shaped like mushrooms and built high in the sky.

Instead, it hovered in the void of three thousand meters.

This is already very close to the flight altitude of a civilian aircraft.

In addition, the gray-white translucent barrier produced by a large barrier generator commonly known as the "urban barrier".

Ordinary people can't even see clearly, let alone arriving at the Tower of Storms.

The shape of the Tower of Storm is also different from the traditional "tall tower" of the Zedi Black Tower.

— because it's upside down.

The spire is downwards and the bottom of the tower is upward. At the top of the spire, there was a beam of nothingness, a wall of frost breath that led straight underneath, and a number of small enchantments.

It's not so much a "tower" as some kind of spaceship.

At the top of the Tower of Storms, Maria was sitting upside down, hovering on top of a tower without any protection.

Her long, slightly blue silver-white hair hung down to her waist very quietly, as if completely ignoring the storm around her.

She was still dressed in her white, gauzy robe, with a silver crown of cut-outs on her head. Compared to when she hunted the defected wolf girl before, the number of dragon scales on her body has further increased.

In addition to her neck and ankles, silver-white dragon scales also appeared on the outside of her wrists, jaws, and calves.

And on her forehead, two silver-white dragon horns also grew.

But the strange thing is that she is upside down like the tower, but her hair and long skirt do not hang down to the ground. It looked like she and the tower were mirror images...... It's all mirage-like.

Although her whole body was exposed to the frost breath of her grandmother, she was not engulfed in gray mist.

Not because she was able to avoid the gray fog.

Simply because at this altitude...... There is no gray fog anymore.

The never-ending hurricanes that wound around the Tower of Storms could reach speeds of up to two hundred kilometers per hour – and if they fell to the ground, they could destroy a city.

The hurricane roared like a dragon, pulling and distorting even the real sky beyond the barrier. The bucket-shaped hurricane went straight to the bottom of the upside-down tower, powering the wizard's tower.

The Tower of Storms, which can fly at will, must also remain in place, constantly extracting and digesting the power of the storm that remains between heaven and earth.

It only takes a short moment for the storm to grow rapidly.

This is because the world around us has been polluted by the power of the elements. The heart of this storm is no longer this world. Rather, it is a "small part of the void" that is embedded with the holes in this world.

A high concentration of elemental power is extremely corrosive to reality.

Just as the power of the elements can easily destroy the defenses of matter or energy, Annan was almost absolutely deadly to the Bronze and even Silver Tier Transcendents before he advanced to the Transcendental.

It is difficult for a mortal thing that does not possess the power of the elements at all to fight against the power of the elements.

However, if the concentration of the force of the elements is too large, it will directly pollute an area and transform the surrounding area into a suitable environment.

The fourth-generation tower lord of the Tower of Storms, Artas Frostwhisper, is a very powerful transcendent.

She is revered as the Storm Daughter – and she is the pioneer of the Storm Daughter. She can fly from the westernmost side of the continent to the easternmost side in three breaths.

This is the equivalent of flying from Noah to the Church Kingdom.

She is able to destroy towns with a single blow...... You know, it's an elven town. It's a city protected by spells.

She could also listen to the wind and hear the conversation of someone more than thirty miles away. Not to mention abilities such as calling the wind and rain, changing celestial phenomena, and summoning lightning storms.

When she finally got her hands on the book of truth called "An Ode to the Storm and the Heart".

Everyone thought she would be the god of storms. There are even people who have built a temple for her in advance, and there are people who are competing to become her pope.

But somehow...... Such a powerful transcendent, her promotion ceremony failed.

And it is an irreversible failure that directly leads to its own death. The well-collected Book of Truth was once again scattered back into the world, and Artastem did not even have a soul left...... It's the kind of death that destroys the body and the mind.

Before she died, the power of the runaway elemental was about to condense into an infinitely larger hurricane—and the sense of mission as the tower's master allowed Artarest to lift the Tower of Storms from the ground, pull it out of the ground beyond the Great Barrier, and place it upside down in the air...... At the cost of his own soul, he arranged the ritual and made the transformation core, and used the power of the never-ending storm to replace the spells transmitted along the leylines to power the wizard's tower.

The power of this storm is naturally not comparable to the power of spells.

However, after the end of the Tertiary Age, the spell energy was completely abandoned, and the Storm Tower became the only "main tower" that could unlock all the abilities of the old wizard tower.

Over the past few hundred years, the Tower of Storms has been forced to leave its anchor twice.

One of them was to end the bloody battle.

The Daughter of the Storm of that generation brought the power of the storm to the surface of the sea, and the storm of seven days and six nights forced those who were red-eyed to calm down.

The other time it was to destroy the Necromantic Alliance.

And every time it flies away from the anchor point, the size of the storm increases a lot. After leaving twice, it was twice as big as it had been at the beginning...... No one knew how large the Storm Tower could restrain the Storm, so it had never moved even once since the end of the Blood Battle.

Today, the large barrier generators throughout the Duchy of Winter are built with the Tower of Storm as the core.

The unfortunate death of the eldest daughter of the storm was given to the Duchy of Winter...... Even the whole world has a time bomb, but if it is used wisely, it can also exist as a constant source of energy.

Now, as long as she can inherit the power of the Storm Girl, she will immediately become an extremely powerful Gold-level transcendent.

The so-called qualifications are also simple.

Edict Wizard, Female, Silver Rank...... And most critically.

- Possession of divine blood.

Although it doesn't have to be the god's blood of the old grandmother, it must be the direct bloodline of the god. Otherwise, humanity would never be able to withstand the power of the heterogeneous elements that directly tear apart the body at the time of inheritance.

Only the heirs of the gods can pass on this damage to the ancestors and survive the trials of inheritance.

"- Vasily Manning!"

Mary opened her eyes, and there was a strong displeasure in her eyes.

Why is Annan coming to winter, but she hasn't been notified?

Didn't Vasily say that Annan went to Noah? Didn't he say he was going to help that Kaphne inherit the throne?

Why is winter coming at this time?

She wasn't prepared at all!

Now she is still practicing in the Tower of Storms and will not be able to leave until the end of the month.

And she's only been here for two days!

Mary's mood suddenly turned bad.

If she had known that Annan would be coming this month, she would not have returned to the Tower of Storms......

The crackling electric light was uneasy in her eyes. The moment Maria's mood deteriorated, her hair suddenly flew up, and the irrepressible storm centered on her and spread rapidly around her.

Vasily, you wait for me!

Without hesitation, Maria chose the person responsible.

Annan?

Annan can't be wrong...... He's a good boy, and he must have something to do when he comes to Winter.

I just don't know if Annan will leave within a month......

No, even if he leaves the Duchy of Winter, she'll have to find it!

It's been too long since I've seen Annan - after the Tower of Storm has been maintained this time, it won't have to come back for half a year. No matter where Annan is, she can chase him directly.

"Wait for me, Annan......"

Mary muttered anxiously.
