“………… That's the way it is. ”

After that, Tilly told Jenn and Aina about what she had seen, including the sky that filled the circle, the blue woman, and what had happened in the end. It's just that Tilis herself didn't know why the woman was running, she only knew that the other party seemed to see something, and then left in fright. As for what was going on, Tilis didn't know.

"How could this happen? It can't be some kind of ghost. ”

After listening to Tillis's story, Aina scratched her head, and then looked at Jenn next to her. Hearing her answer, Tillise couldn't help but tremble, of course she knew what Aina was referring to. In the legends of adventurers, there are many stories about ghosts, and it is rumored that those who are unwilling to die will create illusions and lure ignorant adventurers to death. Could it be that the same is true of that woman?

"Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts?"

Jenn just shook his head at Aina's brain, he was sure it wasn't a ghost. In fact, when the demon seal was activated, Jenn had already captured the woman's breath through the guò seal, and he was sure that it was definitely not a ghost. Even the woman herself was not a living thing, but rather a phantom condensed by magic.

In the Klein Continent, there is only one kind of "thing" that can do this kind of thing, and that is the "machine spirit".

The so-called "machine spirit" refers to self-aware props, which are generally magical equipment, because only those mages will be idle and bored to make such things. Maybe those guys have been in the Mage Tower for too long. I don't know how to communicate with others, so I just make a talking staff or an alchemy puppet or something to chat with me. Everyone has their own good, as long as it's not too dangerous. Then we just need to guard them with warm eyes.

Of course, there are also some evil black magicians who choose to extract the souls of innocents and inject them into other objects to bind and manipulate, and the demons are super good at this. However, demons are not enthusiastic about creating weapons and items with self-awareness and thinking abilities, although they have a talent for imprisoning, binding, and manipulating souls. But in this regard, the demons are surprisingly cautious, far less radical than those mages from the main plane.

On the main plane, those who can have self-awareness to lure are high-level magic equipment items. Jenn could be sure that the apparition that Tillith had seen earlier was also from this. As for why it was Tilis who saw the apparition and not the others, the reason was very simple—no matter what level of illusion, it would only have an effect on those who were mentally vulnerable. Jenn himself belonged to a high-level demon clan, and ordinary mental manipulation and control were not effective for him at all. And the succubus demon transformed by Aina is also a race that specializes in mental manipulation, and is naturally immune to illusion attacks. Then the only one left is Tilis, she is already very tired, and Aina's mental attack has opened a hole in her heart barrier, so she will be attacked by the other party. If it weren't for the fact that Tillis's spirit had been planted with a demon mark. Then maybe the other party has forcibly taken Tilis away at this moment.

As for why the other party did this, Jenn can also guess. The rules of the Ancient Evil come from the ancients, and when it completely breaks the seal, that powerful force will break all the rules of the region. Naturally, the self-aware magic weapon was not willing to be destroyed, and it was clear that it had also felt the breath of an ancient evil thing. Knowing that if he stayed here, he would only become a pile of rags, so he tried his best to lure others to take him away. And Tillise seemed to it to be a pretty good fit—of course. It's only temporary, just get out of here. Then it's another story.

It's just that the other party didn't expect that Tilis had already been planted by herself, so when she tried to manipulate her spirit, she activated the recoil of the demon mark, so the woman was frightened and hurriedly ran away, presumably the other party also knew very well what kind of virtue the demon was, and there was no difference between falling into their hands and completely destroying Miè.

But unfortunately, it was still a step too slow, and Jenn discovered where the breath was.

It's in that tower.

Thinking of this, Jenn glanced at the tower not far away, which was located on the edge of the aristocratic district, and if Jenn remembered correctly, in the map, that area was famous for being a gathering place for mages. Of course, in the catastrophe of the demon tide that destroyed Miè in the Blue City, this is also the first place to be completely destroyed. What can survive and persist until now is definitely artifact-level equipment. Because magic weapons also need the support of magic power, and the Lost City has been abandoned for hundreds of years, during these hundreds of years, even slightly worse magic equipment will be turned into scrap metal due to the loss of magic power. Only those top-notch, artifact-worthy magical equipment can actively absorb the free magic of air to achieve the purpose of maintaining their own existence.

If that's all there is to it, the piece of equipment doesn't mean much to Jenn. However, after feeling the breath of the other party, Jenn changed his mind - he could sense that the woman had a pure, noble soul. Although I don't know if the woman was sealed or sacrificed, such a pure soul can be regarded as a first-class delicacy for the demons. For Jenn, this pure, powerful soul is an excellent prey, and if he can obtain it, he will be able to speed up the process of repairing Cyberas. As the only Ancient Artifact in Jenn's possession, Cerberas' power was not limited to that, and Jenn was sure that if he could repair this weapon once and for all, then his strength would be even stronger. And......... Could it be that coming to the Lost City once and running away without catching anything is really a little unwilling for Jenn.

And that's not all.........

Thinking of this, Jenn glanced behind them, then withdrew his gaze.

"Tillise, are you sure it's the tower?"

"Yes, Mr. Jenn."

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Tillise nodded. In fact, as the woman put her hand on her forehead, Tillith felt as if she had flown up, and her gaze raced through the ruins, into the tower, up the stairs, until the last door—only then, the woman screamed and withdrew her hand, so that Tillise could not see what was behind the door.

"Very well, let's go there and have a look."

"Mr. Jenn?"

"Master?"

Hearing Jenn's answer, Aina and Tillise were stunned, they didn't expect Jenn to be interested in this matter at all. Aren't they on their way to escape the Lost City right now? Although the two of them don't know much about the current situation, they also know that every second counts. And at such a time, Jenn actually wants to turn to another place to waste time?

"It's not a big deal."

Facing the puzzled gazes of the two, Jenn waved his hand.

"Although we are indeed in a hurry, we can also leave the Lost City from the Magic Tower, and I think you have also seen that the wall on the other side of the Magic Tower has collapsed, and as long as we can get out of this ruin, we can leave the Lost City along the wall. We don't waste too much time, we just change direction. And ............"

As he spoke, Jenn smiled at Tilis.

"It may have been fate, Miss Tilis. Now that you've felt the calling of your destiny, why don't we take a look? The footsteps of fate are fleeting, no one can start over, all we can do is seize every opportunity, isn't it? ”

With that, Jenn waved his hand, then turned and walked in the direction of the tower. Behind him, Aina and Tilis also glanced at each other, and then hurriedly followed. Soon, the figures of the three people disappeared into the ruins and disappeared without a trace.

"Hmm......... These guys ............!! ”

And with the disappearance of Jenn and the others, a black figure walked out of the alley not far away. Tinidel stared at the tower in the distance, clutching the massive scythe in his hand. She bit her lower lip and watched Jenn and the others disappear into the darkness before she stomped her foot suddenly.

"What was that guy doing, didn't he know that damn monster was about to wake up? This idiot ........."

As he spoke, Tinidel walked toward the avenue on the other side. But after a few steps, Tinidel stopped again, and she turned her head to look at the tower, and then at the road in front of her, and frowned with an uneasy expression. And at this moment, suddenly, the earth began to tremble again, and spider web-like cracks gradually appeared on the originally solid ground.

The seal is crumbling.

"Ah............ That bastard!! Why should I bother with him, just let him stay here and die...... forget it!! ”

Seeing this, Tinidel roared angrily, then she stomped her foot hard, and then saw the girl turn around without hesitation and run in the direction where Jenn and the others left. In the blink of an eye, the girl's figure quickly disappeared into the dark shadows.

And at this moment, the trembling of the earth also stopped again. (To be continued......)
