Chapter 492 An Ke didn't care at all, really.
With the intervention of a fifth-tier mage, the unrest was quickly brought under control.
Having learned the source of the riot and with overwhelming evidence, the Dragon Riders quickly stopped harassing the sorcerers in the volcano area while repairing the magic array, and the items they took out were restored to their previous prices.
They refused to pay and were no longer forced to hand it over, but they were also not allowed to leave. Whether they handed it over or threw it back, it was up to them.
These changes are all thanks to the fourth-tier traitors and the Fallen Tower stronghold that Celia mentioned, and what they want to do.
In previous years, the Dragon Riders would never have been so easy to talk to.
But if their harsh attitude falls into the hands of the heretics, they will have no choice but to change themselves unless they find a way to suppress them.
At this time, Celia and Anko were already staying temporarily in the castle on Dragon Island, which was specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
Celia and Anko's identities and achievements, along with what they did in the volcanic area, make them worthy of such hospitality from Dragon Island.
Unsure whether Celia had anyone secretly protecting her, Dragon Island was unwilling to do anything to her. It was better to treat her with high-level etiquette to avoid giving others cause for criticism, while also using this as a means to monitor the two and prevent them from making any further moves.
Celia didn't care about this, and even asked Talos to help deliver the letter, which was a letter from the Bishop of the Southern City to his daughter Diana.
"If Dragon Island still doesn't take the dangers of the Tower of Depth seriously after things have come to this point, then they deserve it."
Anko and Celia are enjoying Dragon Island's specialty flower tea in the castle's garden.
"Sigh, it seems our trip to Dragon Island is coming to an end sooner than planned," Anke sighed.
Celia asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Anke hasn't said yet what you came to Dragon Island for?"
Anke said nonchalantly, "I'm here to collect materials from Dragon Island Volcano, what else could it be?"
"Have you finished collecting them?"
“No, I want the essence of fire.” Anke shook her head. “But it seems like there’s no chance now.”
Celia nodded: "That's true. I also wanted the Frost Star, the companion spirit of the Essence of Fire. What a pity."
An Ke said, "Since we've already been treated like this, there's no point in staying here. I'm going back. What about you?"
“I plan to stay a few more days to check on the situation at Dragon Island Volcano. Although I can’t directly participate in the competition for high-level materials and spiritual items, watching everyone scramble for them should be interesting.” Celia paused and said, “The Tower of Depravity will definitely not let this go. They will surely come back. I want to see what they’re up to before I go back.”
After a moment's thought, Anke said, "Then Anke will stay a few more days and accompany you to see the sights."
As he spoke, Anke adjusted his glasses: "The Tower of the Fallen possesses formidable potion-making skills. I will eventually deal with all the poisons produced by their witches. Given the Tower of the Fallen's major operation, it is indeed inappropriate to leave prematurely."
"Ok."
Celia didn't pay any attention.
They are now very "safe".
After Dragon Island confirmed their identities and decided to treat them as honored guests, they indirectly received Dragon Island's protection.
Although this protection is mostly just a side effect of surveillance.
“Let’s go, let’s go check out the observation deck outside the volcano,” Celia said, getting up.
It is now the second day of the volcanic eruption. The volcano is still very active, although not as intense as yesterday, but it is still spewing out thick volcanic ash.
The volcanic ash was contained within a certain area by Dragon Island, preventing it from covering too large a region.
These are all valuable items, and Dragon Island naturally wouldn't let them scatter into the ocean. In previous years, they were collected directly, and this year is no different.
Celia and Anko returned to the observation deck outside Dragon Island Volcano.
They were accompanied by the maids who served the castle.
Although they are called maids, they are actually all combat maids with second-tier strength.
This was only the ostensible entourage; whether there were high-level sorcerers monitoring them from the shadows was unknown to Celia unless she sought help from Ross.
Anko was nearby. To avoid being discovered by Anko, Celia rarely communicated with Ross in reality, even though Ross would occasionally come out, especially when she and Anko were taken to the castle.
The two looked out from the observation deck at the still-erupting volcano and chatted casually.
"After yesterday's unexpected incident, Dragon Island now knows about the layout of the Tower of Depths. They are on guard, so there shouldn't be any conflict."
"The magic circle was repaired very quickly, it's fixed so fast." Celia looked at the crack in the magic circle.
An Ke looked up at the volcano, a thoughtful expression on his face: "According to the past, today is the last day of the volcano's activity. After the volcano's activity ends, the high-level spiritual objects that have been condensed will appear. I wonder what will appear this year."
Celia said, "Wasn't it said to be the essence of fire?"
Anke shook her head: "That's just a high probability; sometimes it can go wrong."
"The Tower of Depravity's target is the Fire Spirit. If the Essence of Fire doesn't appear, the Fire Spirit can't be born... Their arrangement is most likely for the Fire Spirit, and it should be the Essence of Fire."
Anke sighed, "It doesn't matter. Now there's no chance to even try my luck. But Anke doesn't care; it's just the essence of the fire..."
Celia glanced at her and clearly saw the undisguised disappointment on her face.
Although I had mentally prepared myself and knew that I probably didn't have a chance, there was still a sliver of hope, but now that hope is completely gone.
Celia smiled slightly and said nothing.
After all, she was the same.
Just as the two were chatting, a riot suddenly broke out below where people were queuing to pass through the city wall to leave the volcano.
Celia and Anko's attention was immediately drawn to it.
The two men frowned.
They saw that the previously orderly queue suddenly became chaotic.
Various shouts and curses could be faintly heard.
Shortly afterward, a burst of magical light erupted.
Celia and Anko exchanged a glance and were about to go over when they heard the voice of their maid.
"Miss Celia, Miss Anke. The master has said that you are not allowed to enter the volcanic area. Please do not make things difficult for us."
Celia paused in her steps.
"alright."
In the past, it was just a subconscious behavior.
The two quickly realized their predicament and could only exchange a glance before shaking their heads.
Celia said, "We'd like to get closer and watch from the nearby observation deck. Is that alright?"
"Of course you can, but please don't use magic casually, ladies."
“No problem. We won’t cast spells randomly unless someone attacks us,” Celia said nonchalantly.
So the two of them went down from the observation deck to the best spot to watch the battle. By then, other people had also arrived there.
When the two arrived, Celia suddenly heard someone calling her name.
“Celia?”
Celia looked up and saw a man and a woman looking at her.
Wow, it's someone I know.
"Pamisa? Anthony? What are you doing here?"
Chapter 493 Could Dragon Island really sink?
It was Pamisa and Anthony who greeted her, so Celia went over to catch up with them while watching the battle below.
The cause of the battle was unknown to Celia.
There were no signs of active pollution.
At first, nothing happened, but as the battle intensified, casualties began to appear.
All the sorcerers were in a bloodthirsty frenzy.
Anke shook her head after just one glance.
"I told them yesterday that there's poison from the Tower of Depravity in the volcanic area, why won't they listen and insist on going in?"
Celia said calmly, "One reminder is enough. Just let things take their course the second time. Don't worry about it. I'm used to it anyway."
Anke remained silent for a moment, then could only sigh softly.
Fortunately, the sudden brawl didn't last long before it was brutally suppressed by the dragon rider guards.
After the battle, just as the dragon riders were preparing to clear the debris from the ground, the debris suddenly and mysteriously merged into the earth and disappeared.
This situation caught the attention of the guard captain, who immediately reported it to Talos.
Talos is a nature mage who has a certain degree of control over the earth. He begins to investigate the earth, trying to find the magic arrays or something similar within it.
Ross's phantom appeared beside Celia and chuckled, "This heretic doesn't use magic arrays, but rather a rather mysterious ritual. They mark their targets with poison, and after the target dies, they remotely sacrifice the target's flesh and blood through the mark. Only those at the sixth rank or above can possibly track the location of the remote altar through the slightest clues, but even that's only a possibility."
Celia's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Is the conspiracy of the Tower of Depravity still ongoing?"
Ross nodded: "Of course, the fire spirits will be out tomorrow, and they certainly won't let them go."
Celia opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anymore.
I believe in Dragon Island.
"Hey? Celia, doesn't that person look familiar?"
Anko's voice came from beside her. Celia looked up and saw a group of people following Talos on an investigation.
“Lane, whom we defeated, and his wings,” Celia said.
That group was Ryan and his four female teammates.
"They're still perfectly fine, that's amazing!" Anke exclaimed.
Celia nodded, and she couldn't help but admire Ryan for his hidden talent, which allowed him to stabilize the situation.
At this moment, the maid behind them said, "Do the two young ladies know Mr. Ryan? The master just sent word that Mr. Ryan knows that you two have come to Dragon Island and would like to invite you two to catch up tonight."
“I don’t know him,” Celia said without hesitation.
What a joke.
What's the point of catching up with a womanizer like Ryan?
If the other party isn't after a strategy, then they must be seeking revenge.
Regardless of the reason, Celia will not see them.
Anke also said, "If Mr. Ryan isn't worried about what might happen during the league, Anke wouldn't mind meeting with him."
Celia paused, then said thoughtfully, "Anke is right. How about this, we'd be happy to catch up with him, provided that only he comes alone."
The maid nodded: "Okay, I will pass it on."
After watching for a while, Celia and Anko bid farewell to Pamisa and left.
Meanwhile, Ryan, who was investigating with Talos, also received replies from Celia and Anko.
"Let me go alone? That's asking me to die!"
Ryan immediately went to Talos to express his complete unwillingness to see Celia and Anko. Celia's previous attempts to sow discord had at most caused him a lot of trouble, but hadn't completely ruined him, because they were bound together by dragon language magic.
But if he goes to meet other girls alone and the Wings find out, then there's really no hope for him.
"Really not going to see them?" Talos asked doubtfully. "Celia and Anko are both new generation geniuses in Ishtar. You've become acquainted with them through a series of misunderstandings. Go over and have a chat; maybe you can get some information from them."
Ryan shook his head firmly: "No, I'd rather die than go!"
"Alright then." Talos didn't press the matter and took out a letter: "By the way, this is a letter Miss Celia gave me. She said it's to be delivered to a student at your school named Diana. Do you know her?"
“Diana? I know her. She’s the most talented freshman. The school plans to groom her as a top contender for the next Mage League. So she knows Celia?” Ryan took the letter. “Although I don’t want to have any contact with them, I can still deliver a letter.”
“Hmm.” Talos smiled. “If you didn’t recognize the name, I would have thought it was given to the Moon Witch.”
"The Moon Witch? The Moon Witch of the Tower of the Fallen? And her name is Diana?"
“Yes.” Talos nodded. “That’s what we’re researching right now.”
As he spoke, Talos looked down at the ground and shook his head. "It's too bizarre. It's completely vanished. When did the Tower of the Fallen acquire such terrifying power?"
Ryan also looked over, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This situation reminds me of what happened in Coster City, Lord Talos. I think this matter should be reported to Lord Erina and let him make a decision."
