A glance fell on the open terrace ahead.
Ronald leaped out without hesitation.
He already understood what Grand Mage Shui was thinking at that mont.
However, Ronald did not dare to reveal his overly strong abilities now. So as he jumped from the fourth floor of the tower of three beams, he intentionally made so unnecessary moves to give the impression he needed to use the outer layer of the tower for cushioning.
A few seconds later, Ronald finally landed on the ground.
After steadying himself, he quickly ran a short distance forward before looking back.
——The timing was just right.
At the base of the tower of three beams, from where Ronald just left, sixteen crimson evil fires burst through the ground and soared into the sky. These red ominous flas even dyed the surrounding air with their color. Their extrely threatening magical aura made it clear to everyone how strong they were.
Especially the three long pillars that ford the foundation of the tower of three beams.
They seed to have undergone a special change due to the influence of the evil fire, making the entire space appear particularly unique.
In the blink of an eye.
The visibly destructive spell firmly enclosed the tower of three beams within. Those inside couldn't get out, and those outside couldn't get in.
And then, just where Ronald had jumped from the terrace.
Il finally walked there slowly and looked out.
At this mont, even Ronald had to admit Il's acting skills.
This guy maintained the previous performance, using those highly aggressive looks and actions, Il calmly extended her right hand, and then reached out towards the fire wall in front of her, seeming to ignore its presence.
Whoosh!
The next second, the crimson flas spread along Il's white wrist towards her body.
Il herself retreated a step backward as if seriously injured.
After protecting her hand and extinguishing the evil fire on it, she then looked at Ronald below with a surprised and disbelieving gaze.
The delicate acting combined with the effect of the scene.
Anyone looking at the current situation would believe that Il was indeed trapped inside this military structure.
But Ronald was different.
As an 'accomplice,' he knew very well through the connection of soul fragnts that Il was not injured at all at this mont; the previous actions and expressions were all carefully perford by this guy!
And the reason for all this action was rely to cooperate with the deception of the Grand Mage on the other side of the Crystal Ball.
"..."
"Young man, well done."
As if to prove how successful Il's performance was, at this mont, Ronald happened to hear the voice of Grand Mage Shui from the Crystal Ball.
Although there were so flaws in the entire process.
But since the Grand Mage was not personally present at the scene, Il's performance still managed to deceive him.
"I will return to [Lachimont] imdiately. You stay here without moving, and keep an eye on the state of the tower of three beams at all tis!"
"Rember, this dangerous and evil being is quite terrifying. Even though the evil fire sealing ability of the tower of three beams is powerful, it cannot ensure that it's always contained within, and vigilance must be maintained at all tis!"
Ronald replied respectfully:
"Yes, Grand Mage, I understand."
"..."
Though he said so, Ronald knew very well he would not remain here.
At this mont.
The ultimate goal of him and Il infiltrating the tower of three beams was achieved.
Even if the Grand Mage Shui's task of tracking down the wizard on land was important, when facing danger to [Lachimont] as the ho base, the choice between the two was obvious.
In contrast to waiting here for the Grand Mage Shui's arrival.
Ronald knew very well that choosing an appropriate location imdiately was crucial as the battleground.
Once determined, Ronald maintained a slow and calm attitude.
He knew that as long as things developed normally, the subsequent changes would certainly be in his favor.
Soon enough, as Ronald had anticipated, the powerful and terrifying evil fire sealing ability of the tower of three beams drew attention from others.
Before long, soone noticed the situation here, and they accompanied each other as they walked over.
Ronald looked towards the direction these people ca from, noting the leader was an elderly man donned in a mage's robe. His unyielding deanor and the instinctive distance maintained by those accompanying him revealed his authority.
Undoubtedly, he was the leader of the casters.
Afterward, this group of mages began investigating the surrounding situation, while the elder ca straight towards Ronald.
The reason was simple—
Standing in front of the tower of three beams, holding a Crystal Ball, Ronald was the most conspicuous!
However, slightly different from Ronald's expectation, the old mage leading the group ca up to him imdiately and, without further ado, snatched the Crystal Ball from his hands.
"Master Shui, what on earth is happening?"
The elder then questioned the Grand Mage within the Crystal Ball, despite being visibly older than Shui, his attitude was remarkably respectful.
Evidently, the Grand Mage on the other end of the Crystal Ball recognized the elder and responded imdiately:
"Raymond, the situation is extrely urgent!"
"The evil creature that invaded [Lachimont] ten years ago has returned here."
"For now, everything else can be set aside. Your primary mission now is to ensure that this creature remains contained within the tower of three beams, do not let it escape. I will return from the sea as swiftly as possible."
"By the way, if you have any questions, you can ask this young man. He did a good job just now, helping …"
Snap—
Before Shui could finish his sentence, Ronald suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Such a sudden change made the Grand Mage's expression on the other side of the Crystal Ball puzzled, but he quickly responded:
"Quickly, check his body!"
"When this child escaped from the tower of three beams earlier, he most likely fell victim to the evil creature's trap!"
Upon the Grand Mage's command, the others naturally obeyed.
Imdiately, specialists among the casters ca forward to begin examining Ronald's body.
Soon, after several diagnostic spells were perford, their expressions beca bizarre as they looked at the unconscious Ronald lying on the ground, even their judgnt was stated with so uncertainty:
"Master, he… his condition is quite odd?"
"Although on the surface it remains normal, this young man's body reveals a plant-like essence, I find it a bit perplexing."
Normal life, with a plant essence...
If previous events hadn't occurred, Shui might have suspected Ronald of being Il's accomplice.
However, after personally sealing him within the tower of three beams, Shui no longer doubted Ronald's identity and imdiately made a judgnt:
"He must have been tricked by that evil creature!"
The Grand Mage then promptly gave the order to save Ronald's life:
"Convey my orders, send him to Ista imdiately, ensure his survival!"
"This matter must not be allowed to fail!"
