After releasing two high-level spells in succession, one of which was a cross-level spell, Zhang Mu's body could not withstand the violent impact of the magic power and exploded, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
After resurrection, he ordered Zhui Ling: "Crush him to death."
The dark blue in Zhuiling's eyes flashed, and his broad feet lifted up and fell down.
The sky and the earth shook, and the magic tower seemed to be unable to withstand its power. The surrounding space seemed to be stirred and distorted by a palm.
Zhang Mu noticed it quickly and immediately bent down to pick up Avril and run away.
Whether on Blue Star or Sol Continent, space is an extremely mysterious existence.
It is not uncommon for professionals with space attributes to die from the magic they cast. In the continent of Thor, it is no longer a rare thing.
The Magic Tower looks majestic from the outside, but compared to its vast interior, it is obvious that space technology was used in its construction.
If it explodes, who knows what will happen?
Fortunately, the magic tower itself is strong enough, and the movement in space slowly stops.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Mu stood up, ran to the big creature's feet, jumped up and patted its toes.
It understood and moved its feet away.
Zhang Mu looked around but did not see Andre's body.
Being trampled into a pulp? There should be some minced meat, right?
Following the principle of finding the body if alive or the person dead, he jumped into the huge footprint pit and used his staff to dig around the compacted snow.
"Zhang Mu, what are you doing?" Avril's calm voice came from behind.
Chapter 283 God said, Zhang Mu deserves to die
Zhang Mu calmly turned around and saluted: "Your Highness, you have the wrong person. I am Aiji, the Lord of Gul City.
I am searching for the remains of Andre’s body.”
Avril seemed to have completely accepted the inheritance. Her pupils returned to ice blue, and her waist-length hair, also ice blue, was draped behind her. With her exquisite appearance and cool temperament, the woman who walked out of the ice and snow was back.
Wrong person? Do you think the senior is a fool?
She remained silent on purpose, just staring at "Aiji" who was standing in the pit, slightly bent over, wanting to see how long he could pretend.
Avril had imagined and dreamed countless times of Zhang Mu appearing safely in front of her. She felt that she would definitely rush towards him regardless of everything.
Then listen to the suffering he endured, how he escaped death, and how he became the lord of Gul City.
It must be tough, right?
As a result, when Zhang Muzhen came to her, she realized that none of this mattered.
It is enough that people are still alive.
Let him keep the saluting posture a little longer, as punishment for deceiving me.
But... he was there, just a few steps away, and he saved me, just like in the dream, I wanted to laugh out loud.
However, for the sake of "punishment", she could only endure it and try hard not to let the corners of her mouth curl up.
But, seeing my junior is living well, I am really happy...
She almost couldn't help herself as her thoughts arose, and she quickly pinched her thigh flesh.
Avril was having a hard time holding it in.
Here, Zhang Mu lowered his head and looked at the snow on the ground.
It's strange, she is so sure, where did I let the flaws slip?
Is it possible to still be aware of the outside world while receiving the inheritance?
That shouldn't be the case. I didn't cancel the Transfiguration spell. Uh, or did the senior guess that I used Transfiguration spell?
No, that's not right. At that time, the senior sister was chased by the Wolf King in the forest north of Cass Town and accidentally lost her storage bag. Naturally, the magic book given to her was also lost.
She couldn't have known I could Transfiguration.
So... Hey, why isn't she talking?
Zhang Mu was confused and wanted to look up to check the situation, but he felt that this behavior of "offending the royal family" was not in line with the personality of "Aiji".
After thinking for a while, he found a suitable excuse.
Standing up, he said, "Your Highness, the situation in the capital is not stable yet. Jarvis and the two Grand Dukes are still fighting. The whereabouts of the Second Prince is unknown and he may be in danger.
Should we go and support them?"
Avril narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to make her look fierce.
But she was not really angry, and her expression inevitably did not match up well. Not only did her aura not scare people, but it also revealed a sense of guilt and lack of confidence.
Seeing her making faces and not knowing what she was doing, Zhang Mu twisted his mouth, jumped out of the footprint pit, passed Avril, and walked towards the main entrance of the magic tower.
"Your Highness, time is running out. We cannot continue..."
"Zhang Mu!" Although Avril was shouting, her tone sounded aggrieved.
He paused for a moment and turned around slowly: "Your Highness the Princess..."
Zhang Mu was trying to hint subtly that now was not the right time to recognize each other, but he was interrupted by a body that suddenly bumped into his arms, emitting an icy cold body.
"I know what you're worried about." Avril leaned her cheek against his chest, "But if the price of living is separation, I refuse.
Junior...what about you..."
She seemed to be asking, but also as if she was confiding.
Zhang Mu lowered his head and looked at the motionless ice-blue hair in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
When did I become so timid?
She's not afraid, why should I be afraid?
You are so timid, yet you still want to protect her?
Zhang Mu felt as if the fog in his heart was pushed away by a big hand, and he instantly became clear and transparent.
After the transformation was released, "Aiji's" fantasy faded and disappeared.
Avril, who had her eyes closed and her head buried in her chest, did not witness this scene. She only felt a weight pressing down on her head.
That's the palm.
"Senior, long time no see."
A familiar voice floated into her ears. Avril slowly exerted force on her sleeves with her hands, and her eyes could not stop moistening.
"It was like a dream."
"What dream?" Zhang Mu put his other hand around her shoulders and asked curiously.
Avril didn't say anything. She raised her head and pulled him to the edge of the footprint pit and sat down side by side. Her legs dangling in the air swung back and forth like a little girl.
"This is the royal capital," she said.
"Well, I've been here for a month."
"The capital is huge, there are some places you must have never been to, can I introduce them to you?
Senior sister has been to every corner of the capital in the past few days!"
"it is good."
Zhang Mu smiled and nodded, and Avril immediately started talking nonstop.
"There is a pastry shop on West Street. The chef is very good at cooking and the business is booming. I have to queue up every time I go there. I'll take you there later.
The same goes for the clothing store at the corner of the street. A lot of people come to them to customize their clothes!
Also, there are many jewelry stores on South Street. Most of the items sold are quite expensive, but some sell exquisite and affordable handmade hair accessories. I bought some last time..."
Zhang Mu was listening with a doting look on his face, but he saw her suddenly stop talking and asked curiously: "What did you buy?"
Avril turned her face away guiltily and said nothing.
What's going on? Is this?
Looking at the long ice-blue hair cascading down like a waterfall, Zhang Mu was confused. What did I say to offend her?
"What did you buy?" Obviously, Zhang Mu, who has been focusing on making money for more than 20 years and has never even had a girlfriend, has very little experience in love.
"It's...it's..." Avril's crystal earlobe turned red and she hesitated for a long time without uttering a complete sentence.
Fortunately, Zhang Mu was not too stupid after all, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Where else in the capital is worth visiting?"
"There are many, such as East Street..."
Avril excitedly started talking again, but felt that words were not enough to describe the story, so she used her hands to gesture to help explain, and Zhang Mu would comment from time to time.
The cheerful atmosphere diluted the slight shyness just now, and they sat snuggling by the pit, with snowflakes falling on their shoulders.
…………
Outside the magic tower.
A group of city lords were scattered around the magic tower.
There was no sign of relaxation on their faces. They scanned the empty space around them, alert to enemies who might be hiding nearby and waiting for an opportunity to break into the tower.
Although the previous saint was ambushed and killed by the old man who suddenly appeared, the sound of the church building collapsing never stopped.
No matter who wins between the two archdukes and Jarvis, the result will be the same for them - being sacrificed.
The fight between the three was intense, but no one would hold out for luck, thinking that one would die and the other would be seriously injured, and then the latter would flee the capital, leaving them safe.
The recovery speed of the Saint level is very fast. The winner among the three, with the help of potions, does not even need to stay on the spot for treatment and can arrive immediately.
Therefore, their only way to survive at this moment is to rush into the tower and successfully destroy the core of the blood sacrifice array.
To this end, the city lords must stop all enemies who attempt to interfere with "Edge".
Danielson looked back at the completely solidified magic tower and said with some concern: "I wonder how Lord Edge is doing..."
"According to the information disclosed by that person." The companion beside him secretly pointed at the old man in black robes hanging in the air not far away, "There are a total of five people in it, the Third Prince, Andre, the King, and two hidden saints of the royal family."
Danielson's expression became even more solemn: "Lord Edge... is in danger."
