Dawn of the Grey Tower

Turning people into stones as soon as they meet is certainly not a friendly way of greeting. That's right, stones. Although gold and silver are endowed with special meaning and value in human society, their essence is still a kind of mineral. If they are distinguished by a rough division, they are stones. .

A silversmith is not a gorgon. A gorgon turns anyone who sees it into stone. It is essentially a curse. The banshee is a beautiful woman. If a beautiful woman turns the person who sees her If she turns into a stone, the beauty she is most proud of will be useless, and the more beautiful she is, the more terrifying she will be.

There is no such curse on the silversmith. The silver prosthetic eye in her eye socket is obviously a magic item controlled by herself, so the petrification of cheese is also an attack based on hostility or malice. Anyone who greeted with such an attack would be considered a declaration of war.

Cheese naturally had no other misunderstandings, and no one could have any other misunderstandings about the person who stabbed him, but his choice was not to fight back immediately, or to pretend to run away, but to continue to stay where he was He greeted the silversmith with a calm and calm look.

There are many reasons for doing this. For example, Cheese really hopes that the other party will not be so hostile. For example, he is worried that if he fights here, Alina will be aware of it, which will lead to unpredictable results. But it's a pity that the silversmith's curiosity is obviously used in magic, and he has no interest in cheese's abnormal behavior.

"Click!"

The sound of metal armor rubbing followed, and the silversmith raised his armor-wrapped fist and rushed towards the cheese below. This move was enough to catch most of the gray robes off guard, because they instinctively thought that the armor was just a part of magic defense, and never thought that they also had the same function as the metal armor, that is, to enhance the ability of close combat.

Because of this, the silversmith's second attack can be said to be ingenious. The speed of her punch will not be slower than a spell, and the power will naturally not be inferior to ordinary spells. After all, the sound of piercing the air caused by her fist has made people The scalp is numb.

The more complicated the duel, the less able it is to deal with simple conflicts. Exquisitely designed chess games are often unable to resist the cheating of flipping the board. This is because whether it is a battle or a game, people will inevitably have set a set of rules for themselves when they enter it. This set of rules is acceptable to both parties. The principle of the process is also their consensus.

Those who can break this consensus will immediately get huge rewards, and then suffer strong backlash, because the behavior of breaking the rules will make people realize that there is no unacceptable price for breaking the rules. In other words, when your competitors sell products at a lower price than you, maintaining the original price becomes suicidal.

However, the silversmith's raid is not without a bottom line. There are many rules in this world that cannot be broken. Only the life-and-death battle will not come first, because it is not a consensus set by human beings, but a natural choice. Be ethical.

The silversmith is not the only one who is immoral, because when she came with a punch, Cheese had already subconsciously picked up the pepper wood staff. It is really a question of who has more impact between the silver and graceful armor and the wooden sticks covered with sharp protrusions. But the answer to this question will soon be revealed, along with the collision.

"boom!"

The pepper wood and silver collided together, but the sound was like two heavy metal blocks hitting each other. This is also of course, don't be fooled by the appearance of things waving in the hands of gray-robed mages, they can use magic to modify the nature of matter, and it is not difficult to make wood and sterling silver stronger than iron.

Missing a hit, the silversmith fell back onto the steps, but her opponent had no intention of giving her a chance to rest. Mixed with the sound of heavy wind, the prickly ash wood fell from above like a machete, and then hit the arm armor that was used as a shield across the head.

After the parry, of course it was a counterattack. The silversmith tried to throw a jab here, but the cheese pulled back hard. The protrusions on the pepper wood were like barbs, stuck on the edge of the silver armor , Destroying the silversmith's attack posture. In the blink of an eye, the gray robe had already rushed forward, and the staff stabbed three times in an instant, targeting the silversmith's forehead, left chest and lower abdomen.

"Ding! Ding!"

The silversmith only had time to block the blow to her head, and although the other two stabs failed to penetrate her armor, they still made her sit down on the steps. It was not a wise choice to fight close to each other on the steps. The side on the higher side seemed to have the upper hand, but the ups and downs of the steps were all behind the back, and it was easy to trip or step on the air.

But the silversmith's biggest problem is not here. The most serious mistake she made was trying to defeat Cheese with melee combat, but she didn't know that the gray robe in front of her was superior to her in melee combat.

The silversmith obviously lost this round, but it doesn't mean that Cheese has won her. Even if his staff can knock the opponent to the ground, he can't break the sterling silver armor after all, even if he can break the armor, There is also a gray robe.

It is very difficult to defeat or even injure a gray-robed mage by hand-to-hand combat. So the cheese didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, he just silently retracted the staff and looked at the silversmith. He didn't ask the other party if he was willing to talk, because that would only arouse stronger resistance, so instead of approaching, he stepped back two steps one after another. It was obvious that he didn't want to continue the conflict.

But so what? The gray robes are a group of people who make their own decisions, and what they decide is rarely easily changed by external forces. So when the silversmith snorted coldly and jumped down the spiral steps, cheese was not surprised or regretful. He also knew that the silversmith would never die, or even be injured, she just didn't want to entangle herself too much.

That's fine, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Cheese doesn't know what exactly he wants the silversmith to do, even if the silversmith is willing to talk, there won't be any breakthrough in the content. Compared to these, it is more important to go to see An Lina as soon as possible to understand the situation of the Gray Tower from her mouth.

With what happened just now, Cheese's mentality is much better now. When people are in a bad mood, people can always vent their stress in some way. Although violence is not advisable as one of them, it is very effective.

Staying in place to calm down, the cheese began to use the magic on the steps to transfer, and continued to walk up like this, God knows what he will encounter, such an encounter, once a day is enough. But the sky always doesn't follow people's wishes, doesn't it? The encounter with the silversmith isn't just an episode, it's more like the first few bars of the prologue, hinting at upcoming developments.

Twelve steps later, cheese was already standing at the door of the stargazing room on the top of the tower. This place used to belong only to the first gray robe, but now it has lost its original sense of mystery. Regardless of whether Cheese admits it or not, from the moment he has no psychological burden on coming here to find An Lina, he has not recognized the other party's heir status in his heart.

He is obviously not the only one who has such an idea, because as soon as he stands still, he can already feel the magic power in the star observation room.
