Chapter 14
On top of the tallest tower, Zafir admires the city.
"Although it is more like a military stronghold, the city has its charms, Phantom Lord had the wisdom to choose this city as its headquarters, the geography of the city helps a lot, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not easy to attack this city. "
"How are the girls doing?"
...
"Girls, we need a day to ourselves, I know Zafir's presence is very good, but we also have our privacy and girl things, let's go for a walk and shop." Parsha is very good at persuading people.
After walking around and shopping for hours, in the late afternoon the girls decided to go to a bar, try to get some useful information.
The bar is relatively large, well decorated, gives a clean and tidy atmosphere.
"Guys, let's keep it low-key, we don't want to attract the Phantom Lord's attention, ok?" says Nero worriedly.
So the three enter the bar and go to the table in the corner, next to the window.
"Waiter, bring me a bottle of sake."
Nero puts the most in the face." I knew this would happen, I don't know why I bothered to warn you."
Selina, on the other hand, was quite excited as usual, she is not used to going into bars, and had never drunk any kind of alcoholic beverage, if I had to say a word about the situation she is in, it would be in 'expectation'.
"Waiter, forgot to warn you, bring two glasses of orange juice."
Selina turned her face quickly towards Parsha, who turned away and began to whistle.
"Hey Parsha, what does that mean? Are you treating me like a child?"
"Hahaha, but what are you if you're not a kid? hahaha" Parsha can't resist and bursts out laughing.
rhum (a slight cough)
"Ladies, here's your juices, and I'm sorry I can't offer alcohol to kids." After saying that, the waiter leaves.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, child. HAHAHAHAHA, Parsha, you didn't expect this one!" Selina felt vindicated and couldn't help but give the waiter her thumbs up.
"Bloody waiter, I've never been so humiliated in my life! I'm never going back to that bar again!" Parsha was furious.
Then hours passed, and it was already night.
"Girls, it's already 7pm, shall we go back to the hotel?" asked Nero.
"OK.' 2x
But just as they were leaving, there were two men talking something in the corner of the bar, and something caught their attention.
"Hearing that lord José Porla was called by the Magic Council, I would like to see one of the holy mages fighting, as far as I know, there are many dark guilds causing trouble lately, that could be the reason they called him."
Hearing this, Selina already wanted to go question the two men, but Parsha stopped her.
"This is not the time for that, we can take the opportunity to enter the Phantom Lord's castle, now there's no leadership inside, we can go and try to see if your father is trapped there or not, with your magic you can infiltrate without being noticed. "
Right after leaving the bar Parsha said. "Your real headquarters is located in the countryside again not far from Oak Town, but before we go there I have two things to say, the first is, do you guys want to go now or call Zafir and plan a plan? depending on the answer, I will. the second thing."
"Of course, we can't waste time! let's go now!" I can't waste time, the sooner the better.
"Okay, so I'll tell you what I know, Phantom Lord's castle is a mobile fortress, with a number of notable mechanical devices. It could sprout gigantic legs to be moved in the air, crossing long distances. Also, it's equipped with specific features. designed for battle, which made it a real and dangerous weapon capable of mass destruction. Such features included a built-in Jupiter cannon, capable of firing powerful beams of compressed magic, at certain intervals of time, and, most notably, the possibility of transforming the entire structure into a gigantic robot, which, surprisingly, was a mage in itself, capable of casting a spell as powerful as Abyss Break."
"This fortress is very powerful. Jupiter is a powerful weapon feared by all. When fired, the cannon releases a compressed beam of energy that causes destruction wherever it goes. Abyss Break, this forbidden spell can be immediately cast by an individual who possesses the ability to use the four elements (Fire, Earth, Water and Air) or later by four individuals each possessing one of these elements, such as Element Four channeling their Magic through the Super Giant Mage Phantom MK II to cast it."
"Although, they would not use the fortress just for our sake, but inside the fortress, they must have a lot of security devices, outside the guild's own mages, if something goes wrong you might find yourself in a dangerous situation, and I would feel guilty and wouldn't know how to explain it to Zafir."
After hearing all this, Selina's mind is still steady.
"You know Parsha, I've been through a lot, and I've seen a lot, I'm past the despair stage, hardly anything will make me despair, I'm determined to go."
"Ok, good luck, I'll be outside the castle waiting for you, I'll give you 1 hour maximum, if you don't come back, I'll formulate a plan to attack the fortress and rescue you."
'Fine, I went." After that Selina ran towards the castle.
"Nero, I want you to go back to the hotel and inform Zafir of the situation, I will accompany Selina so it doesn't go wrong."
"Uhn, okay, I wish you luck, and please be careful." Why am I not strong? I can only stand behind while everyone fights, I feel really bad about it, I hate this feeling of helplessness, I don't want to be like I used to be, I want to change! I want to become stronger! After all this is over, I will ask Zafir to train me, just by becoming stronger, I will be able to help everyone.
...
I need to run as fast as possible, I will use my magic to go through the castle walls and go investigate, this castle must have a dungeon, if there is one, my father must be in it.
path of shadows
After using the magic, Selina enters the shadows and goes through the wall, after entering, she wastes no time and goes to the deepest part of the castle, and indeed there was a dungeon, but there were no prisoners.
So she decides to check out other places.
