Chapter 574: Ihalus in the Bloody Tower

City Lord's Mansion, Bloody Tower,

At the bottom of the ancient and dark tower, a figure sat quietly on a tall throne. In the air above the throne, an illusory ball of light kept shedding dots of light.

The figure on the throne was skinny, as if every bit of flesh and blood had been squeezed out by the long time and endless suffering, leaving only skin and bones, like a ghost that had escaped from the edge of hell.

On the tower, countless scarlet blood plasma poured down silently from the top of the tower, like a waterfall controlled by an invisible hand, with a strange silence and ominousness. These blood plasmas intertwined into streams in the air, and finally gathered at the bottom of the tower, gradually forming a pool of blood that was above the figure's knees.

The scarlet blood plasma surged and twisted in the pool, like a twisted life, and every wave released a frantic killing intent that made people's heart palpitate, as if it could penetrate the flesh and reach the depths of the soul.

The air around was filled with a suffocating smell of rust and corruption, which was the smell of blood and time, making people feel an indescribable fear and depression. And the figure sitting on the throne seemed to be integrated with this sea of ​​blood, becoming an inseparable part of this horrible scene.

In this area soaked in blood plasma, time seemed to have lost its meaning, leaving only eternal silence and the idea of ​​killing hovering in the air. And the skinny figure was the master of this place, sitting on the throne in an unreasonable posture, as if quietly waiting for something and guarding something.

Li Si flew in the air above the tower, looking down at everything in this bloody tower.

His eyes swept over all the scenes in the tower in an instant, and Li Si, who had no time to be surprised, suddenly saw the skinny figure sitting on the throne suddenly raised his head and glanced at him in the sky.

His eyes were sunken, flashing with a light that was not human. It was a look that was in a dead silence, but it seemed to contain a light of an extremely firm will.

Li Si clearly did not feel any murderous intent, but he was instantly terrified, as if some great danger was about to come.

In an instant, the scarlet blood in the entire blood-colored tower boiled up, and under the extremely terrifying and vast magic power, it turned into countless blood-colored arrows and attacked Li Si.

Damn!

Li Si's face changed, and the strong malice emanating from those blood-colored arrows made him dare not touch them at all.

He was sure that these arrows condensed from scarlet blood plasma might even contain divine power, which was not something he, a legend, could resist.

Li Si did not even cast a magic shield, and directly used space teleportation to leave here.

After those blood-colored arrows lost their targets, they dissipated in the air, and the scarlet blood plasma left behind also returned to the blood-colored tower.

With Li Si's departure, the blood-colored tower returned to its previous calm, and even the simple barrier left by Li Si was not broken.

The figure sitting on the throne in the blood-colored tower lowered his head again, and stopped moving like a mummy.

A moment later, Li Si's figure appeared on the roof at the edge of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the direction of the backyard of the building with lingering fear.

Although the blood-colored tower had disappeared, it was because of the effect of Li Si's hidden barrier, which naturally could not block his sight.

After seeing that the blood-colored tower returned to calm, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.

There were too many surprises today.

The originally imagined Ihales wizard tower did not appear, but an extremely evil blood-colored tower appeared instead.

That was not a wizard tower at all. Li Si felt that it was more like an evil altar for sacrificing lives!

How many lives were sacrificed to gather the scarlet blood river in the blood-colored tower!

The reason why all the people in this small town turned into undead creatures is to become sacrifices for the bloody tower?

Was it done by that Yihailus?

Li Si was a little undecided.

When he saw the skinny figure in the bloody tower, Li Si almost didn't react.

He thought it was also a corpse, just like the unknown strong man in the hall of the city lord's mansion.

But when the figure raised his head and looked at Li Si, the surging and terrifying magic power made Li Si almost sure of the identity of the skinny figure.

The legendary undead mage Yihailus!

He was actually in this bloody tower!

The possibility of a second legendary mage appearing in this small town is almost zero, so Li Si can be sure of his guess.

So it was him who attacked Li Si in the Golden Coconut Hotel before, but because his real body was not there, he did not chase Li Si, but continued to protect Zhuo?

But Li Si always felt something was wrong.

Especially the figure sitting on the throne of the blood pool, Li Si could feel the coldness and ruthlessness in the other's eyes, and it seemed that there was no rationality.

This didn't look like a legendary wizard who would create an entire city of the dead for his beloved.

Could it be that countless years have passed, and Ihalus has completely lost his sanity?

Li Si was not sure, because he just glanced at it quickly, which caused the attack of the skinny figure.

But there was also a problem with this place.

If it was because Ihalus still needed to protect Zhuo when Li Si tested Zhuo in the Golden Coconut Hotel, so he didn't chase Li Si, then why did Ihalus let him go so easily in this bloody tower?

You know, Ihales is a powerful legendary mage, not a legendary warrior.

Although Li Si's space teleportation is very fast, it cannot completely escape the control of this legendary mage.

Not to mention that Li Si only teleported to the edge of the City Lord's Mansion in order to observe the situation of the Bloody Tower and did not leave too far.

This distance is nothing to the legendary mage, but that's why Ihailes let Li Si go.

The feeling that Ihailes in the bloody tower gave Lis was like the golem guards in the secret labyrinth, which would only repel any adventurers who dared to approach.

After repelling or killing the adventurers and confirming that there are no enemies within the warning range, the golem guards will return to the place they guard.

If this is really the case, is this a deliberate arrangement by Ihailes?

Li Si shook his head. This guess could not be confirmed at all now.

He will definitely not return to the Bloody Tower in a short time. Li Si does not dare to jump in front of a legendary necromancer who may have lost his mind, and is a being far more powerful than [Wrath of the Storm].

In addition to the thin figure who was suspected to be the legendary mage Ihailes, the bloody tower was also quite suspicious.

The bloody liquid hanging over the tower was most likely obtained by sacrificing the lives of the residents of the entire town.

This is not the point. After all, they are all dead lives. Li Si is ready to face any tragedy.

But the faint aura of divine power contained in it surprised Li Si.

Could it be that the blood-colored tower was a place where sacrifices were made to a certain evil god, so the aura of divine power appeared?

It seemed like this was the most appropriate guess, but Li Si had never seen the emblem on the bloody tower.

It's not the evil god in his impression. Could it be an extremely low-key evil god, or a certain evil god who has passed away?

Li Si felt that this bloody tower was not done by Ihailes.

If Li Si's guess is true, then Zhuou most likely lost his life in that sacrifice to the evil god.

Then what Ihales did was inconsistent. Sacrificing his beloved to the evil god with his own hands?

Li Si felt that judging from Ihales' behavior in creating this illusory town, he would not do such an extremely crazy thing.

Moreover, Li Si felt that the thin figure that was most likely Ihailes could control the bloody tower, but it gave Li Si a feeling of being out of place.

The bloody tower gave Li Si an extremely wild and crazy feeling, but this feeling was not reflected in Ihailes.

In Li Si's view, it was more likely that Ihailes was also a latecomer and controlled the bloody tower.

That would make sense for many things, especially regarding Juou.

Li Si took a quick glance at the tower just now and discovered that on the bloody throne, there was an illusory ball of light the size of a human head suspended in mid-air, emitting a misty, colorful light.

Chains composed of countless arrays of magic patterns appeared from this illusory ball of light, wandering away in confusion around, disappearing in mid-air, and seemed to be connected to somewhere.

The moment he saw this illusory ball of light, Li Si knew that this should be the core of the illusion that enveloped the entire town.

It seems that Ihailes is using the power in this bloody tower to maintain the operation of the illusion of the entire town?

Li Si felt that this guess should be true, but Ihailes' choice made Li Si not sure how to evaluate it.

Unexpectedly, an entire city's residents were sacrificed, and the gathered power formed this bloody tower. As a result, Ihailes used it to build an illusion, allowing the residents to transform into undead beings and continue to exist.

Li Si didn't know what those residents thought, but he would definitely not accept such a life.

Even if you can have eternal life, what's the point?

However, Li Si really wanted to get the core of the illusion.

After thoroughly mastering the legendary concealment array arranged by Ihailes, Li Si could feel that the core of the illusion contained all the knowledge and magic pattern arrays that Ihailes had mastered.

If he could get this illusion core, Li Si would be able to master all of Ihailes's research on illusion spells.

However, the core of the illusion was located on the throne. Li Si had to think twice before approaching the bloody tower again, let alone approaching the throne where Ihailes was.

etc!

throne?

Li Si's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered something.

When he was observing the inside of the bloody tower, he vaguely saw the pattern of an unsheathed sword on the back of the throne.

"No way"

Li Si looked a little strange, jumped down from the eaves, and walked towards the interior of the city lord's palace.

Arriving in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Si looked at the white bones sitting on the throne in front of him again.

"Is that so?"

golden coconut hotel,

Taiya was lying on the bed in the room, yawning, wearing thin white pajamas, with sleepy eyes.

She has nothing to do these days. Although she often goes shopping with Juou, she can't go out every day.

Juou still had to stay in the store to help, even though old Milo had asked her to relax and spend more time with Taiya.

Taiya didn't force it, but followed her friend's wishes.

She could feel that Juou was a very simple-minded person and didn't think much about anything else.

While Juou was helping in the store, Li Si also stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time to study the hidden magic circle. Taya had nothing else to do, so she thought of taking a long sword and practicing in the backyard of the hotel.

It can only be said that Taya's outstanding appearance and heroic temperament are really too attractive. Even though it can be seen that Taya's strength seems to be very strong, there are still many people who don't know how to live or die and intend to come up and chat.

Taya ignored it and "sent" these people back casually. After a few times, no one dared to offend again.

After learning about this, Old Milo looked at Taya with a little strangeness, and Juou was a little envious.

Although no one would come to harass her, if she could become as strong as Taya, would she be able to leave with Kazeri?

So, Juou also wanted to learn from Taya.

In this regard, Taya naturally did not refuse, and helped Juou do some basic training in the past few days.

Juou's performance is impressive, and some contacts that ordinary people can hardly accept have persisted.

Although this may be related to the special nature of Zhuo's body, it also shows the tenacity of this little girl's spirit, otherwise she would not be able to bear this hardship.

Just now, Taiya and Zhuo finished training, washed off the sweat on their bodies, and returned to the room to take a rest.

At this time, Li Si pushed open the door and walked in.

Taiya saw that Li Si suddenly became energetic and all sleepiness disappeared.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Taiya asked curiously:

"Why is it so early today?"

"Has Li Si completed the analysis of the magic circle?"

Yesterday, Li Si told her that he didn't know how long it would take, but didn't expect it to be completed so quickly?

"That's right."

"But the things hidden in the hidden magic circle are indeed beyond my expectations."

Li Si nodded, and then told Taiya everything about the bloody tower.

"Legendary magician, then Li Si, you are not injured?"

Taya heard that the bloody tower may have gathered the lives of the entire town's residents, and her face turned pale, but she was still most concerned about Li Si's safety.

"It's okay. I think His Majesty Ihalus is in a bit of an abnormal state."

Li Si touched Taiya's head and comforted her.

"What should we do next?"

Taya looked at Li Si. Before, Li Si planned to see if the clue to break through the seven-day cycle was hidden behind the hidden magic circle.

The fact is that as long as the core of the illusion is broken, the seven-day cycle formed by the illusion will naturally end.

But that is not what Li Si and Taiya can do now.

There is only one way left.
