"No time?"
"At the most crucial moment of the war, they don't have the time to stay here," Brando replied in a low voice as the pieces of the puzzle in his mind became clearer and more complete. "Perhaps there is another more important battle that they need to participate in."
"That is …"
Brendel shook his head and did not say anything. He still lacked some crucial evidence in his mind, and before that, he did not want to discuss too many guesses. That would only lead to subjective misunderstandings of his and the others' judgment.
At this time, the two of them passed by the Nun Princess who was panting slightly. Brando could not help but encourage her. "Well done, Miss Magadal. You have saved all of us once."
Magadal was at a loss as she tidied up her skirt. Her hands were still trembling slightly as the continuous battles had taken a toll on her. However, her pale face could not help but reveal a trace of surprise. "Really?"
"Of course." Aloz proudly gave her a thumbs up.
The Nun Princess was finally relieved as she placed her hand on her chest and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
The group followed the path that Magadal had opened up, and it did not take long for them to pass through the broken and smoke-filled streets and enter the building.
The swarm of insects quickly followed, but the Nun Princess used the Book of Gaia to raise the street level and blocked the entrance, temporarily blocking the insects from entering.
The surroundings darkened, and even the rustling sounds outside became soft.
The group felt that they had walked into an empty and dark hall.
The entire space was silent in the darkness. Brando chanted. "Flame." A ball of flame rose from his hand, and the flickering light reflected a spacious, empty, and dusty world. Not far away was a platform, and on the dusty metal surface was a huge crystal plate with complicated lines and patterns.
Brando raised the ball of flame in his hand and lit up every corner of the crystal plate. He looked up and carefully observed the complicated lines and patterns on the plate.
"What is this?" Aloz asked.
"A map."
"A map?"
"It's about the map of this area," Brando replied. "I think I understand why Flora and Akentu came here."
"You can understand it?" The little female dragon looked at Brando in surprise.
Brando shook his head. There were two ancient characters on it. He had never seen them before, but he seemed to be able to recognize their meaning at a glance.
This was a classic case of self-awakening. Such a phenomenon would only occur when a bloodline was passed down, such as the Giant Dragons. Mortals had to acquire knowledge through learning.
However, Brando's family history wasn't complicated. Although his grandfather was powerful, he was still a pure Erouine. His grandmother's background was similar to his mother's, both of them were nobles of Kaleiga. His father was also of Highlander blood, and so was he.
His grandfather had a few brothers and sisters, but there were no abnormalities in their descendants. His father had never heard of such a thing. Moreover, if the bloodline inheritance could not be purified, it would disappear within a few generations. Therefore, there was no point in investigating the history of the family for a longer period of time.
Another possibility was that he had lost a certain memory. In that lost memory, he might have come to this place and systematically learned these two languages. But this was unlikely. The time didn't match. Brando's identity was only twenty-two years old today.
"This is a layout map of magic transmission," he replied. "The black tower we saw outside is the center of this city. It controls the magic of the entire city and transmits magic to all parts of the city through relay stations. This is one of the relay stations."
"So Akentu must want to get a map of this area from here. What is it looking for?"
"A laboratory." Brando's gaze fell on the upper right corner of the crystal plate, where three letters were marked: R.T.U.
There were obvious traces of dust being wiped away.
When Magadal saw the letters, her body shook visibly. Delfien quickly supported her. "Is that where Miss Magadal was born?" The others had obviously heard about the history of the Thirteen Titans from Andrea. Phoenix Huo glanced at the crystal plate and asked.
"What, Sister Magadal was born in this place?" But this was the first time Lotus knew of this secret. She couldn't help but widen her eyes behind her thick glasses. "Then she's not a resident here …?"
"That was a story from a long time ago, little one," Fang Qi replied. "That lady is not as simple as she seems."
The two little girls remembered the 'power' that the Nun Princess displayed and couldn't help but look at her in awe. They obediently kept quiet.
"The Devils are looking for the secret of the Creators?" Aloz asked in surprise.
"The Creators used the Planeswalker System to create substitutes. Perhaps the Twilight Dragon wanted to find the source of the Planeswalker's power. The Twilight Dragon claimed that it wanted to completely grasp the secrets of our world. Since Wohnde was created for the 'Divine People', the power of the Planeswalkers might be the source of this world," Brando replied.
"I'm afraid that may not be the case, My Lord," Delphine, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke, "I remember Andrea saying that the demons have invaded the Silver Plains more than once. In several wars, the Silver Plains was even torn apart because of this. The twelve Titans died one after another, and Princess Magadal, the last Creator, was also left behind in Vaunte."
"During this process, the minions of the Twilight Dragon had plenty of opportunities to get close to the Creators. Moreover, in the Moons Channel, Akentu should have recognized Miss Magadal's identity. But after it escaped, it didn't attack us immediately. Instead, it went to Miss Flofa and the others."
"What does this mean?"
"It means that Akentu didn't care about the Creators, even if Magadal was the thirteenth Creator. His goal was the 17th Laboratory itself, or the 'secret' that still exists in the laboratory."
Brando looked at the scratches on the crystal plate and revealed a look of understanding. "And the landing point of the Nightmare Worm eggs was nearby, which means that Akentu's landing point wasn't too far away. Since it clashed with the Dragons here, it means that Miss Flofa and the others weren't slow —"
"This means that Akentu and the Dragons came here one after another. Obviously, they are more familiar with this place than we are, and they know where their destination is. From this point of view, we are far behind them. We still have no clue what we are looking for."
"Then what should we do?" Aloz asked. "Should we stop them?"
"Of course we have to stop them. If the secret that the Twilight Dragon is so eager to find is related to the survival of our world," Magadal replied firmly. "Otherwise, even if Mr. Brando finds the Orb of Nature, what's the point?"
The others were silent for a moment. They had to agree that this opinion was hard to ignore.
"But those worms have already surrounded this place, not to mention that they left before us," Phoenix Huo asked. "Can we still make it in time?"
"Yes."
Brendel's answer was resolute and decisive.
The others couldn't help but look at him curiously, not understanding where Brando's confidence came from. Brendel replied faintly, "That's right.
"Akentu may know very well where his destination is and how he should get there. But it will never understand what the legacy of civilization is. "
Under the puzzled gazes of the others, Brando silently came to the side of the crystal plate. He gently rubbed the center of the plate with his hand and drew a small mark there.
Underground Transmission Tunnel, No.14 Magic Relay Center Transmission Station.
… …
With a loud bang, the alloy door that was half a meter thick was smashed open by the huge impact and twisted into a ball. Three panicked figures entered the door one after another and arrived at the underground space behind the door.
One of them couldn't help but kneel on the ground after two steps and coughed heavily. She turned around with a pale face. She pressed one hand on her chest, and golden blood kept oozing out from between her fingers. Drops of blood dripped onto the ground and shone in the darkness, forming a pearl-like trail of light.
She was also injured, but she still didn't say a word. She only looked at her companions with a cold face. The Silver Dragon shook its head weakly, indicating that it couldn't walk anymore and that they should leave quickly.
She frowned and was about to speak, but at this moment, her expression suddenly changed and she subconsciously took two steps back.
A huge claw appeared on the alloy door. The claw tore the door left and right like a piece of paper, tearing the door to shreds. The alloy door let out a low whimper and completely split into two. Then, it was casually thrown aside like trash and fell heavily on the ground.
Behind the giant door, the figure of a tall demon appeared.
Akentu arrogantly looked at the three remaining Dragons and slowly walked into the underground space.
"Not running anymore?" It opened its mouth and sneered, revealing its white fangs.
"Akentu!" Despair flashed in Furofa's eyes. She let out an angry roar and rushed toward the Lord of Purgatory.
