Chapter 543 Devil Wizard, The Chosen Child
"Don't be afraid, young child." The old man smiled kindly, "I am a skeleton...you can call me 'Bone Dragon'."
There was a trace of surprise and panic in the young man's eyes. He took a step back subconsciously, "How did you appear? You have been dead for so many years!"
"Hehe, young man, you have too many questions." Bone Dragon said slowly.
He said slowly, "First of all, we must figure out, where do we come from?"
"Don't you know it all? Don't you just come from the holy mountain?" The young man asked in surprise.
Bone Dragon waved his fingers and said with a smile: "Wrong, I came from that tower, not from the holy mountain."
"Tower?" The young man was even more puzzled, "What kind of place is that?"
"There used to be a temple there, which is said to be the residence of a great wizard. In the distant past, wizards lived there."
The bone dragon said slowly: "The world we live in is the Kingdom of Eisen of the Eren Empire."
"Kingdom of Eisen?"
"Yes." Bone Dragon nodded, "I'm from this city, and my name is Antonidas C. Rogge Reeve.
I remember very well that night, waiting for help in the tower, I met a strange person. He took me into the tower.
Then he gave me three rings and two scrolls of parchment.
I returned to the castle with the ring and the parchment, and studied them. Then……
I fell asleep. When I open my eyes again, it will already look like this..."
"Wait!" The young man interrupted the bone dragon, frowning and asked, "Where's the tower?"
"The tower is gone."
Antonidas said bitterly: "I don't understand why it disappeared, maybe... this is the result of the prophecy."
He sighed deeply, tears streaming down his eyes.
"No! You are talking nonsense!" the young man snapped, "You are lying and deceiving! You know the existence of the tower, but you deliberately made up these lies to deceive me!"
Antonidas' face immediately became ugly, staring at the young man angrily, and shouted: "Do you know who left that tower? It's a powerful wizard!"
"Who does it matter? I don't care who left it!" The young man retorted loudly, "This does not prevent us from saving the world!"
"madness!"
Antonidas growled, "You don't understand! You have no idea what that tower is for!"
He shouted excitedly: "It is the source of disaster, it is the source of curse! You will all die because of it!"
"You are lying! I don't believe it!" The young man retorted stubbornly, "You should be cursed! If you hadn't come to find this curse, you would never have become like this!"
"You nonsense!" Antonidas cursed angrily, "Those Devils killed that great wizard, they destroyed our only hope!"
"I don't know who it is, but I know it wasn't made by the Devil, and it can't be killed by the Devil!" The young man shouted loudly, "We should stop it from coming and save our people!"
Antonidas' expression gradually calmed down, and his dark eyes stared straight at the young man in front of him, as if trying to get a clue from his expression.
After a while, he let out a long breath.
"Don't you think it's strange?" he said, "We obviously died in the tower, why can we still be resurrected?
If you recall carefully, how did we wake up? "
The young man frowned and recalled, and tentatively asked: "You said... the tower... Did that mysterious man say something to you?"
Antonidas nodded.
"He told me that the tower is our final destination. We will pass the test before we can come out of the tower and regain our freedom."
The young man's eyes widened, "So... have you really met the owner of the tower? Who is he?"
"I don't know..." Antonidas shook his head. "It was too late at that time, and I only saw a figure from the back in a hurry. He was wearing a wide gray robe. He was tall and slender, and his back was full of oppression."
"Grey robe, wide gray robe..." the young man murmured.
"I guess, you also heard his voice, right?" Bone Dragon said with great interest, "You are a young and handsome wizard, I think you should be able to understand the words of that Your Excellency?"
The young man's face became serious.
He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes. I vaguely heard that he mentioned the 'World of Azeroth'..."
"The world of Azeroth?"
Antonidas suddenly widened his eyes, as if seeing a ghost, and said in shock: "How do you know the world of Azeroth?!"
The young man shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "I don't know, maybe that world is too far away from here."
Antonidas stared blankly at the young man in front of him, suddenly felt his heart pounding, and his breathing became short of breath.
His lips twitched: "Could it be that you... are from Azeroth?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly.
Antonidas looked disappointed.
"Since you don't want to reveal your own identity, let's talk about business." Antonidas pondered, "You are the guardian of Erwin for generations, and I believe you should know the secret of that tower.
Tell me what you know about the tower. Like, what's in that tower? "
The young man was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"We're all trapped in the tower..." he said softly, "in the tower, there are many old runes.
Combined, those runes create a powerful force that transports us to another world.
Outside the tower, special seals were set up to prevent us from escaping. "
Antonidas frowned: "A special seal...can't we use witchcraft to break the seal and escape?"
The young man sighed: "Wizards have tried many methods... But no matter whether it is witchcraft or summoning, none of them work.
Every once in a while, the seal would break of itself, and we'd slip into a coma...and when we woke up, we'd find ourselves lying in a house.
While we were in a coma, there were always a few strange guys who broke in, asked us for food, and took us away...
This happens once every seven days, for a total of five times.
We dare not disobey their orders. They asked us to lead them on a treasure hunt, and to keep them safe.
Each of us must fulfill this task. "
Antonidas was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Then... what did you find?"
"An abandoned ruin, and a stone platform."
The young man replied: "We found the stone slab on the stone platform, and there are some strange lines recorded on it - we call it 'Bloodline mantra'.
