Chapter 113 Thinking, Elena, Thinking with her brain
A crimson dragon shadow swept across the clouds about three thousand meters above the ground in Red Eagle Territory.
On the dragon's back, the fully clothed girl raised her head, sensing the reduced speed, and tentatively asked, "Have we arrived?"
"arrive."
Modi swooped down and plunged through the clouds.
The surrounding clouds dissipated, and the scene on the ground was reflected in Elena's eyes.
On the snow-covered land, a magnificent city stands.
The dark gray wall stands silently, overlooking the world as it has for hundreds of years. Some dark red marks remain on it, indicating that it has withstood countless enemy attacks.
Behind the wall, there were many houses of varying heights, with streets running through them, and countless tiny dots moving across them like ants.
The main road extends from the city gate to a huge palace in the city center.
"That's the Red Hawk Throne. During the Red Hawk Dynasty's reign, it was the political center of the entire North."
As Mordi explained, Elena peered into the palace.
The palace is much taller than the other buildings, and its exterior is mainly dark red. When viewed from the air, its layout resembles a red eagle with outstretched wings.
"The original Redhawk King was an immortal who rose to power after the extinction of the dragons in the Second Era and quickly took over the entire North... But due to his tyranny, the Redhawk Dynasty died after only two generations after he was exiled."
Modi hovered in the air, using magic to distort light and achieve invisibility.
"Our target, that Red Eagle Lord, is right there, isn't he?"
Elena was more concerned with the location of the mission objective than with the history of the North.
She was like a speedrunner, choosing to skip all the mission explanations and go straight into a killing spree.
"Yes, right there." He swooped down again, landing in a deserted spot outside the city.
The dragon scales receded, and Modi patted his divine leather coat, making it resemble an ordinary mage's robe.
"We can go in openly and honestly, like assassins," Elena said, carrying her greatsword, eager to try.
"Which assassin are you referring to?"
Could it be Nie Zheng, the one who pierced the sun with a white rainbow? Or perhaps the berserker Altaïr?
Mordy carefully considered her proposal and offered a compromise:
"What I mean is, can we just take the first half of the sentence and not the second half?"
"I think it would be easier to kill everyone who tries to stop us from assassinating them," she replied earnestly.
Modi thought she was being a bit extreme.
How could someone as kind-hearted as him produce such a student?
After discussing for a moment, the two decided to go into the city first to find the person, and then make further plans.
Nothing unexpected happened during their entry into the city. The guards asked them a few questions and then let them in.
Elena looked around with great interest. Having been in this world for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen such a large city.
The buildings on both sides are in a similar Nordic style. The streets are clean and tidy, without sewage or excrement, unlike the dirty streets of the Middle Ages.
It was morning, and the clouds in the sky had finally dispersed, allowing the fragments of the God of Light to shower down on the earth, just as it had been doing for nearly a thousand years.
Before it, the light of the world was the very essence of the God of Light, while the First Age before that was forever shrouded in darkness.
"Keep following this path, and you'll soon reach the palace. However, the place is heavily guarded, and there are many ancient magic arrays and barriers."
It's unknown how much power those magic arrays and barriers still retain after the passage of time.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Red Eagle should still have a dragon-slaying black arrow in his hand, which is a deadly threat to you and me who have dragon blood flowing through our veins."
Mordi took Elena's hand and whispered in her ear.
Like a pair of monks whispering secrets, they attracted envious glances from onlookers.
"Either we take advantage of his inattention and kill him in one blow, or I'll go forward to draw his fire while you take the opportunity to finish him off."
In the past month, he has condensed thousands of blood shadows.
Even the Black Arrow that slays dragons, he can catch dozens of them.
But Elena refused him. She moved closer, her cherry lips slightly parted:
"Have you forgotten my Dragon Shout? I can freeze him in place, then we can attack together and finish him off..."
She made a throat-slitting motion.
"Then let's make this the first plan."
A warm breeze brushed against his neck, and Mo Di, with a calm expression, subtly tilted his head.
The closer they got to the palace, the more people there were, giving the two the feeling of moving from the outer ring to the inner ring.
"The property prices here are definitely much higher than those near the city gate," Elena said confidently.
Modi nodded. Seeing that there were more and more people, and that they were bound to bump into each other, he simply put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.
Ahead of the two, a girl carrying a flower basket suddenly slipped and fell.
If he hadn't pulled Elena closer, the girl would have bumped into her.
Elena stopped and reached out to help the fallen girl up. "Are you alright? Where did you hurt yourself?"
"Oh, thank you. I, it's nothing."
The girl patted her patched clothes and thanked them repeatedly. When she saw the bouquet of flowers scattered on the ground, her smile froze on her face, and she quickly bent down to pick them up.
"I'll do it." Modi raised his hand, and the bouquet that had fallen to the ground flew back into the flower basket on its own, without even a speck of dust getting on it.
The girl paused for a moment, then bowed to them and said gratefully:
"Thank you, thank you all."
"It was just a small thing." Elena waved her hand, then turned around and saw Mordy's calm expression, and her hand stopped moving.
She tacitly refrained from asking why, and naturally let him pull her into his arms as they continued walking forward.
The girl turned around and continued on her way.
The girl walked briskly from the crowded inner ring road to the empty outer ring road, gradually slowing her pace.
She glanced around discreetly out of the corner of her eye, and when she reached the entrance of a narrow alley, she stopped and turned in.
After entering the alley, she continued deeper in, and before she knew it, she clenched her free hand.
No doubt about it, it's him, it's that man.
The girl's eyes were bloodshot and completely red.
The shadows cast by the houses on both sides obscured most of her face, leaving only her bloodshot eyes clearly visible, making her appear like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
"I never expected him to come here. Perfect timing, he's just in time for this crucial moment. Once the plan is complete, it will be his death day."
She laughed softly like a madwoman, the sound echoing through the alley, sending chills down one's spine.
She stopped laughing when she reached a wooden door, gently opened it, and went inside.
"You're finally back."
Inside the house, a man in an officer's uniform glanced at her, his gaze sweeping over her petite figure before looking outside to make sure no one was following him.
"The final checkpoints have been completed and there are no problems. When the Red Eagle Lord and the Dragon Worship Church meet at sunset, that will be our time to make our move."
The girl was now completely devoid of her earlier madness, her expression utterly calm. The officer nodded, rose from his chair, and said, as if pointing something, "..."
"The more critical the moment, the more we must remain calm and composed, like a corpse. This is the first lesson death teaches us."
The girl understood his implied meaning, said nothing, and went into her room.
Looking in the mirror, she stroked her cheek, gently pinched her skin with her thumb and forefinger, and casually tugged at it.
She ripped off a human skin mask.
The mirror reflected the girl's other face, which was covered with ugly scars, crooked and twisted, like centipedes.
This is the result of being modified by blood magic, which causes the flesh to become displaced, resulting in a twist that is difficult to erase.
"Blood Mage, I will make you pay the price."
The girl murmured to herself, glanced at the flowers in the basket, and her expression instantly turned to disgust.
She grabbed all the bouquets and threw them into the fireplace, watching the flowers burn to ashes in the flames.
With a crackling sound of burning, a spark flew up and, without the girl noticing, merged into her body.
Behind the fireplace, a skull mark was distorted by the firelight, appearing both crying and laughing.
On the street, Mordi, arm in arm with Elena, gazed at the magnificent dark red palace from afar, just like any ordinary tourist.
"Mortis, what's wrong with that girl?"
Elena leaned against him, not asking if there was a problem, but instead directly asking what the problem was.
Although he acted as if nothing was wrong, Elena saw through his thoughts.
Mortis was definitely wary of that girl.
Based on the principle of believing first and then believing later, Elena did not hesitate to stand on his side, giving full play to her subjective initiative and tacitly accepting that the girl had a problem.
"That girl, burdened with sin, still exudes a faint aura of death....:"
Mordred paused, then pulled Elena to the side of the street, dodging a troop of lord's guards rushing past.
The guards who set off from the palace and rushed to the city gate seemed to be in a hurry, galloping at breakneck speed and not stopping even when they bumped into people who couldn't dodge in time.
They drove off in a cloud of dust, leaving several wounded men lying on the ground, their fates unknown.
"Those people..." Elena's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
"This is just the norm on this land. Places like Baihe Town, with its simple and honest folk customs, are ultimately only a minority in the world."
Modi casually cast a few healing spells and then ignored them.
On the street, the flesh and blood of the pedestrians who had been run over were restored, and they sat up in shock, causing an uproar among the onlookers.
"Where was I? Oh right, that girl, I've seen her before. She looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before."
If someone else had said that, Elena would definitely have thought it was just an excuse to pick up girls.
But Mortis is different; everything Mortis says is true. In short, believe him first, then believe him.
"Her face must have been disguised in some way; I have no recollection of ever seeing this face before."
Modi had a confident expression on his face.
Elena's face darkened. "Let's go and kill her."
Possessing a powerful weapon naturally breeds a murderous intent, especially since she wields the Dragon Devouring Greatsword and has received tutelage from Mordi, her killing instincts are amplified to an extreme! Now, Elena will single-handedly defeat...
thump.
Modi tapped her head, interrupting her sudden surge of murderous intent, and said irritably:
"Stop thinking about fighting and killing, use your brain more. That girl might have accomplices behind her. I let her go to see if I can lure them out."
"Did you catch anything?"
Modi sensed the spreading seed of karmic fire, thought for a moment, and said:
"Not bad, there's no air force this time."
