Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"Haha, I guess fairy tales are just fairy tales. They can't possibly be true."

The clerk was still joking, and she didn't notice the change in Ando Meiko at all.

A stone ball suddenly appeared in her field of vision, and this stone ball was fixed in the temple in the Holy City, which was comparable to a palace, serving as a spherical decoration at the top of the highest point.

The reason why Meiko Ando knew that this was a stone ball was not only because it was different from the stones used to build the temple below, but also because from her angle she could see an ancient word on it: light.

This is a stone ball that represents the attribute of light.

No, there is another stone ball located at the highest point of the tower, also fixed there as a decoration, with ancient characters written on it.

Meiko Ando didn't expect that she would get the information about the stone ball so easily, nor did she expect that this thing would be placed so openly under everyone's noses.

But on second thought, it does make sense. The status of the temple in the religious country is equivalent to that of the royal palace in other countries. This is originally the most important place in the Holy City, so it is also heavily guarded.

Moreover, although the stone balls do not blend in with the surrounding stones, they do not look too abrupt as decorations, and no one will pay too much attention to them.

It would be fine if they just put it there without wanting to, but if they really intended to hide it, then the person who came up with this idea really understood the saying "the most dangerous place is the safest" thoroughly.

Although there are many people in this world who have read fairy tale books and know some inside information and want to collect all eight stone balls at the same time to see the effect, it is too difficult to search the world for something that is less than the size of a fist.

Ando Meiko's luck is indeed much better than these people. Now she has three balls in her hands, including the gold and stone balls obtained from the underground level of Soul Shattering, and the water, soil and stone balls obtained from the Potter National Treasure House.

There are two stone balls of light and wind on the top of the temple. As long as you can get them, it will be equivalent to owning five stone balls, which is more than half.

The reason why she hinted to the employees of the Chamber of Commerce was because she was sure that the Theocracy must have the stone ball. The reason for this was that on the way to send it back, Beth had completely deciphered the banned book she had copied.

The content of the banned book is disorganized, just like a writer's notes, written down as a sudden flash of inspiration came to his mind, with no connection to the context.

It contains a true explanation of a certain history, a treasure map of some magic props, some truths that the country is reluctant to talk about, and various recorded real events.

The fairy tale that Ando Meiko read actually existed in reality. It happened in the ancient times when the human race was rising. The origin of the stone ball was not as simple as being sealed by chaos.

The true history is that all eight gods were killed by a human hero, who originally wanted to use their bodies to concoct a magical medicine that would give him the ability to become a god.

Who would have thought that the eight bodies were not only not burned in the fierce fire, but were completely condensed together to form stone balls, and the names of the eight gods during their lifetime were engraved on these stone balls.

Later, the hero's strength became so formidable that the leaders of various tribes united to plot against him. After killing their hero, they divided all his property and the eight stone balls around the world.

Later, the human race rose completely, and the tribes became so large and powerful that they established countries, so the divided stone balls fell into various parts of the world, into the hands of the heads of state.

Therefore, as long as she follows this clue step by step, Ando Meiko believes that it is only a matter of time before she obtains all eight stone balls.

Although the story in the forbidden book also told her that nothing would happen even if the eight stone balls were gathered together, she just wanted to verify it for herself.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 119: Different Paths

Meiko Ando led everyone along the route map given by Melinda. They found the luxury hotel under the Tianshang Association and checked in in Melinda's name.

Ain and Beth's silver hair is very attractive, especially Beth. She did not cover her face, and the wide witch hat gave people a heavy feeling and was very conspicuous.

Fortunately, there are actually quite a few people with silver hair in this world. The hair of people in this world can be of all colors, and they are not dyed but pure natural.

Because of the existence of magic, the color of magic of each attribute is different. When a large amount of magic gathers in a person's body and flows through it, it will change the color of the hair and some parts of the body.

In other words, even if the hair is both red and has fire attribute, the higher the saturation or brightness, the higher the quality of the magic power of the red-haired owner and the greater the total amount.

Of course, hair color cannot represent a single attribute. When a person has more attributes than normal, her hair color will generally appear pure black, pure white, or silver due to the mixture of colors.

Even ordinary people know this, which is why her hair color is even more eye-catching. Of course, this look not only expresses surprise but also other emotions such as respect or fear.

Since Beth had no problem walking on the street, then Ain would have no problem either. She was wrapped up even more tightly than Beth, and the exposed silver hair was difficult to distinguish unless you looked carefully.

When we arrived at the room, it was so luxurious that even Meiko Ando was stunned. There was a huge bed that could accommodate about six or seven people.

There are all kinds of furniture, decorative decorations, incense, and even civilian magic devices imported from Potter Country. It is even more luxurious than the luxurious room they opened in Potter Country.

From Linhai Town to the Holy Church City, from Lance Country to the Church Country, because of the continuous increase in funds, the rooms they live in can be said to be more luxurious each time.

The room now is actually no different from the five-star presidential suite in Anten Meiko's world. Of course, she lives in it with peace of mind, after all, it was earned with her life.

After packing up her things, Meiko Anten walked up to Ain, ordered her to take off her outer clothes, then squatted down and carefully looked at the slave collar.

Meiko Anten had seen this collar when she first met Beth, but this one was obviously much more functional than Beth's.

Because of the concern that others might be able to unlock the seal, the words on the slave collar are extremely complex. An Teng Meizi can observe through the fishing radar, but it is not easy to take action.

The line that the person drew before was the mark that made the Word Spirit recognize its master. This mark was like a switch. Drawing it connected the circuit, and erasing it disconnected the circuit.

However, the slave contract was in the hands of Anten Meiko. If she wanted to liberate Ain, she only needed to tear up the contract in her hand. The reason she delayed was because she wanted to remember the words through magic.

After a full hour, An Teng Meizi finally withdrew her gaze and rubbed her eyes and head exhaustedly.

During this time, her brain was constantly calculating the composition of this word and various possibilities, and she finally sorted out a word that was the same as this slave contract.

"What's wrong?" Beth asked worriedly when she saw Anten Meiko's tired look.

"No problem, I'll help her untie it now."

Meiko Anten took out a piece of animal skin paper from the storage space. This was a contract made of modified special animal skin. It was not only waterproof and fireproof, but also could resist magical attacks to a certain extent.

But Meiko Anten was already the owner of this contract. She injected a little magic power into it and sent in a thought of self-destruction. The contract started to burn and turned into ashes in an instant.

Under the gaze of the three people, countless red threads lit up on the slave collar. These red threads collapsed as the contract burned. Finally, the entire collar broke into two sections with a "bang" and fell to the ground with two crisp metal collision sounds.

Ain suddenly became alert, her pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and she rolled backwards while the magic power in her hands continued to fluctuate, and she seemed to be chanting magic spells.

"Ain!"

Beth shouted in her own tribe's language, and Ain, who had just been chanting a spell to resist, suddenly froze. When she saw the source of the voice, the hatred in her eyes disappeared, and two clear tears rolled down her face.

"Princess..." Her knees went weak and she fell to the ground, like a drowning person struggling to crawl towards the branch beside her. She hugged Beth's thighs and burst into tears.

This Silver Fox girl is also a talented person in the tribe who is being trained by the family. She is born to be the princess's guard and accompany Beth to learn magic and various knowledge.

They should have grown rapidly in this kind of favor, and then led their own people to develop and fight for a high position among the demons.

But the good times did not last long. A large human army broke through the demon defenses and invaded the demon territory where their Silver Fox clan lived.

The lord led the demons in a resistance but they were all slaughtered. Facing the complete invasion of the human race, the Silver Fox clan split into two groups. One group was a suicide squad led by the current clan leader who volunteered to stay behind to cover their retreat, and the other group was an evacuation force led by Princess Beth who fled to the rear.

However, the current patriarch was no match for the human army, whose morale was high. They gritted their teeth and held on, but only bought Beth less than ten minutes.

In this chase and escape, Beth and Ain were completely separated by the chaotic battlefield. Beth encountered the human chamber of commerce who took advantage of the chaos to capture slaves, while Ain witnessed the tragic death of his people and the process of being defiled by humans, and embarked on the road of revenge.

She bypassed the main road with abundant troops and ambushed in a valley that was a must-pass route for trade, and used the resources of the caravan to support the war.

But soon she was tricked by the cunning human race during a robbery, fell into a trap and became a prisoner of the Tianshang Association.

Fortunately, like Beth, the person involved planned to sell her intact body for a good price, so the incident they least wanted to see did not happen.

After Ain stopped crying, Beth helped her up and talked to her gently. The former, who was originally vigilant, soon forgot the existence of the two humans, Anten Meiko and Ronia, and told Beth about their experiences after they separated.

Meiko Anten and Ronia were very well behaved and didn't make any sound, waiting quietly for the two of them to chat in their family language.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 120: Searching for the Tower

To fight against the giant beast that is enough to make people tremble with fear at the mere thought, everyone must be determined to die and devote their lives to it.

This is not an easy thing to do. Even if the three clan leaders are selfless, they definitely do not want to die here as long as they can stay alive.

"Everyone, we haven't reached the final moment of life and death yet." At this time, a voice tore through the tranquility in the entire conference hall, and after circling around, it was completely heard by everyone.

At this moment, everyone had only one action, which was to immediately look for the direction where the voice came from, and stare at the person who was speaking with doubtful and somewhat hopeful eyes.

He was the former chief of the Dryad clan, the man who had been manipulated by the mastermind behind the beast tide to prevent Sakura Fuko and others from returning. He was also Yuti's father, Mortis.

Facing everyone's focused gaze, Mortis was not afraid at all. He walked out slowly, stood beside the table in the middle of the conference hall, and glanced at everyone.

"I once discovered that the flow of magic in this world was somewhat abnormal. Although the change was slight, over time the impact would spread to the forest area and even the entire world. So I left my tribe and traveled to the other four regions to try to find a place where magic was concentrated."

No one spoke, and in this atmosphere no one offered to act as a supporting role. Everyone was quietly waiting for Mortis to continue.

Only Youti's breathing became heavier, because this was the first time she heard her father tell her the real reason why he abandoned her and her mother and left home.

"I wandered around and eventually found a tower in the plains that someone had built."

"Tower?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. It was obvious that this was the first time they heard of this, and they were also surprised why such a thing existed in this world.

"Yes, after entering the tower, I learned that it was built by a powerful being who once divided this world. I believe there must be a way to solve this dilemma within."

The others' eyes lit up when they heard this. If what Mortis said was true, then there must be some adventure in this tower. There was no other way at the moment. They had to find someone to explore and do it within three days.

If it were a complete world, it would be impossible to travel between two places within three days without transportation, but this world is just a fragmented world.

Although it has five regions and its ecology is relatively complete, its overall size is actually only the size of a large province. If the speed is faster, the task can still be completed.

After a fierce and quick discussion, the final candidates selected were Sakura Fuko's team of three, plus Yuti and her father Mortis.

Of course, they didn't have time to screen personnel. It just so happened that the three outer regions were temporarily on a truce, and Nanako, as the strongest fighting force this time, could also participate in this exploration.

The gate of the United Territory opened, and Sakura Fuko, Vita, Nanako, Yuti, and Mortis walked out of the United Territory together and headed towards the plains.

The entire route was dotted with traces of destruction by monsters. Low-lying plants were trampled beyond recognition, and countless large trees were broken in half and tattered by numerous magical attacks.

These monsters were originally heading for the destruction of the forest, so it was naturally impossible for the plants along the way to be preserved. Looking at the mess on the ground, Youti and Mortis couldn't help but sigh.

Sakura Fuko and the other three were outsiders, and seeing this scene could only make them sigh, but the two tree elves here were native locals.

Their homes were destroyed like this by invaders, and their emotions became very complicated, with anger and hatred being the most mixed.

Mortis was a man of rich experience and wisdom. He shook his head and quickly calmed himself down. In order to save the world, he had to lead these aliens to find a way to deal with the giant beast as soon as possible.

"Are you OK?"

Sakura Fuko patted Yuti's shoulder, and Yuti came to her senses and forced a smile: "I'm fine. If we want to achieve true peace in the four regions, our exploration must succeed."

"Well, I have a feeling we must have gained a lot from this trip." Sakura Fuko smiled mysteriously and patted her chest confidently, "Don't underestimate a magical girl's sixth sense."

Her comfort made Youti smile more naturally: "I feel relieved with your words."

Yuti's encouragement made the team's atmosphere less depressing. They passed through the dilapidated forest at the fastest speed and marched towards the plain.

Perhaps in order to show its sincerity to everyone in the united territory, the giant beast had ordered all the monsters on the road back, so that they spent several hours at the edge of the forest without seeing a single beast.

Everyone looked out at the endless plain. Vita patted Nanako on the shoulder and said, "Since the target is a tower, it should be very conspicuous. Now it's up to you."

"Well, Sister Vita, just leave it to Nanako." Nanako imitated Sakura Fuko and patted her chest confidently.

The next moment, her tentacles wrapped around her waist and transformed into a pair of beautiful pink butterfly wings. The four tentacles were tied around the waists of the remaining four people like hemp ropes.

She took off on the spot with the four of them, rising to a height level with the clouds, using the clouds to block out all sights from below.

In this regard, Vita has much more advantages than Warcraft. Ando Meiko can use magic to improve her eyesight, and Vita naturally also has magic that can see farther and more clearly.

She silently chanted the spell, and the magic power covered her eyes, allowing her sight to penetrate the clouds and reach directly underground. She only took a glance and found that all the monsters gathered in the desert and swamp areas, with only a few scattered on the plains.

Such a special situation made Vita alert, and she also thought quickly in her mind. In her opinion, there were only two answers that could be thought of to cause this situation.

The first reason is that the desert and swamp are at the two ends of the forest respectively, so by retreating the monsters to these two areas and concentrating their forces, they can quickly achieve a left and right encirclement when attacking again.

The second explanation is a trap. It is very likely that the plains area is a trap left by the mastermind behind the scenes. It can even be said that the control over Mortis has not been completely lifted, and the so-called tower is also a fictitious thing, and its purpose is to lure them out of the united territory.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 121: The Tower Test

Vita is more inclined to the second explanation than the first one, because the United Territory is no match for the beast tide. After three days of breathing time, they will not attack rashly, but will recuperate.

"Look, there's the tower."

Vita was still thinking about the problem when Nanako's voice reached her ears, causing her to break away from her thoughts and look diagonally downwards.

On a raised hill in the plain area, there is indeed a dark tower standing. The tower has a total of six floors, and each floor is built in an identical centrally symmetrical structure.

It is like an ancient pearl, towering above the hills. Its majestic figure and delicate carvings demonstrate the pinnacle of architectural art.

With layers upon layers and flying eaves and pointed corners, each layer is decorated with exquisite paintings and carvings, reflecting the craftsmen's superb skills and pursuit of beauty.

The outline of the tower appears particularly tall and elegant under the sunlight, and its top is often decorated with a golden dome, which shines brightly in the sun, symbolizing prosperity and glory.

The tower was built in the center of the plain area. Nanako increased her speed again and quickly arrived above the tower. She deployed a parachute made of tentacles and landed everyone safely.

This tower looks very small from a high place, but when it comes to the ground, you will find that this six-story pagoda is very huge.

Although there are only six floors, the stacked layers reach an astonishing height of 100 meters. Moreover, the black paint on it remains as new as ever after years of use, without any signs of peeling or weathering. Only the middle door is open, but the interior is spotless.

Sakura Fuko observed it for a moment and said, "This building's style should belong to ancient China in our world, but why is there such a tower in this plain area?"

Vita nodded and then carefully observed the tower. Although she was knowledgeable, she had not stayed in Anten Meiko's world for a long time, so she could not see any clues.

There was a plaque on the only gate of the tower with a few large characters written in very ancient characters, but unfortunately no one present could understand it. The translation magic cast by Anten Meiko through the blood contract could only translate the language, but not the text.

After thinking for a while, Sakura Fuzi made a decision immediately: "Since we can't tell whether it is good or bad, we might as well go in and take a look. After all, exploring this tower is the purpose of our trip."
