Hiss!
Eli gasped.
He looked at Dylan, then at the key in his hand. Pursing his lips, he said in disbelief, "You're not going to tell me that this is the key to the Gray Mage Tower, are you?"
"Yes." Dylan nodded affirmatively.
"Eh!" The corner of Eli's mouth twitched!
Good lord, he was only here to look for clues, but now he had a key.
This development surprised Eli.
While Eli was in a daze, Dylan told his story.
" At the end of that great battle, my teacher gave me the key and sent me away from the battlefield. However, the impact of the battlefield was much greater than I imagined. I was greatly corrupted, and in the end, I had no choice but to abandon that mechanical body and replace it with this one.
"However, in order to preserve the information and to prevent me from being affected again, I still sent myself to the West Coast and asked the dark Mages who were leaving to remove my memories to avoid contamination."
