Book 8: Chapter 67: Tower of Durlag
“Where is this?” Milleras stood up, rubbing his nearly-bruised bottom, and looked around dizzily.
“It seems to be a stone room!” Iristin shook her head and pulled up Lorlin and Elr beside her. “Hiss… what a creepy place. Where is Firal?”
After they cleared their heads a bit, they realized they were in a spacious stone room. The room was empty, with a thick layer of dust covering the floor. It was a bit like the Ironstar Fortress they had visited before, and seemed to be an ancient ruins that had been deserted for a long time.
“I’m here!” Joey’s voice came from behind them, but his tone carried a strange note.
“Hey, are we still near the Cloud Peaks?” Iristin turned around and saw Joey standing by the window of the stone room, gazing into the distance.
Though they still didn’t know where this place was, looking out the window, they saw a layer of gray mist outside the stone room. Through the mist, the outline of a rugged mountain range was faintly visible—it had to be the Cloud Peaks.
“I know! This… couldn’t be the Twin Towers, could it?” Milleras walked to the window, and his pupils shrank as he looked outside.
“Twin Towers?” Iristin covered her mouth in surprise, hurried to the window, and after a glance outside, she gave a bitter laugh. “Firal, was that a random teleport? Our luck is really something!”
Through the stone window, everyone quickly got a clear view of their surroundings. The stone room they were in was on the second floor of a stone fortress. This stone fortress stood on a hillside, surrounded by irregular walls and towers below, along with a moat and a drawbridge. It really did look like the Twin Towers, which had once served as a military fortress.
