Chapter 239
“Huh? Isn’t this Starting’s Guardian Tower?” Quiet Heaven, who had teleported with Merlin, spoke in a confused voice.
What made Quiet Heaven more confused was the fact that Merlin, who had to avoid other users as much as possible to fly under the Noblesse’s radar, had chosen to appear in the most public place possible—Starting’s central square. However, before Quiet Heaven could express this thought, it noticed that Merlin, as well as itself, were hidden behind concealment and invisibility spells. Having realized this, Quiet Heaven shut its mouth. It seemed that the spell had been used immediately after they teleported into the square.
“I blocked all outgoing sounds as well, so there’s no need to fret over your voice leaking out. But be careful. We might need to leave immediately if our connection is discovered. Although, whether or not our access records are truly not being recorded is another matter…” Merlin said.
He flew through the air without even stepping on the ground and approached the Guardian Tower. Then Merlin took out his newly made jeweled dagger.
The Guardian Tower controlled the entire DIO system. It was such an important physical construct that DIO’s service would be shut down for 24 hours if the tower were ever to be destroyed. Hence, the Guardian Tower possessed defenses that prevented users from coming within three meters of it.
“Oh, you can enter the Guardian Tower’s restricted space. Are you immune to the restriction defenses?”
“It must mean that the system doesn’t recognize me. The defense spread around this Guardian Tower isn’t a magic barrier… But it’s a bit strange and interesting that you, who can stay in DIO even if I log out, are immune.”
“That’s because I’m a member of the Noblesse. Though, it’s true that most high-ranking beings within Noblesse don’t even acknowledge hybrid existences like me…”
While looking at the grumblin Quiet Heaven, Merlin opened his Enhanced Eyesight.
