Chapter 107: The Secret Keeper
Laxus flew to the next city with the three of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info For two days, most of their time was spent on hurrying, but they spent very little time on the battle time to concretely solve the enemy, and even more so, they even used this time to repair. No way, because the enemy is too weak!
This is also a major feature of the Dark Guild, the good and the bad are mixed, there are terrifying beings like the Big Three of Balham who can single-handedly subvert the entire wizarding world, and there are also weak chickens like the Dark Magic Fighters, and the latter is the majority. In fact, in the wizarding world, the division of dark guilds is very unparticular, but any organization that violates the law can be called a dark guild, so it is full of bandit gangs in various places, anyway, they also know some magic, and there is no problem with being classified as a dark guild.
This time, the three giants of Barham jointly issued an order to concentrate on action, so many guilds that had carefully hidden in the shadows to survive in the past also rushed out, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. The goal of these low-level guilds is basically small villages and towns, doing some old business such as robbery and kidnapping. The Dark Warriors are a bit of an ambitious one, they have taken a city directly, and they also want to search for powerful magic items to improve their strength. Much better than most other guilds that only know how to make money.
After all, this is a world of magic, a world of respect, especially in the world of their dark guild, which pursues the law of the jungle! Only when they are strong can they survive better, the bald man knows this very well, but it is a pity that he ran into Laxus and his gang.
Of course, even if there is no Laxus, in fact, the Dark Devil Fighter will not end well, and the Council has already made corresponding preparations, just to wipe out these bandit gangs in a planned manner, so that at least a little bit of the strength of the Dark Guild can be eliminated.
Not only the Laxus gang, but the Senate mobilized all the regular guilds and sent elite personnel to form a team to completely eliminate these lawbreakers.
This led to the largest armed conflict between the Senate and the Balham League in nearly two decades. However, what made the preoccupied Senate fail was that in the face of the unilateral rout of the dark side, the top of the Balham Alliance seemed to be indifferent, not only the Big Three, but even the Dark Guild, which had a little fame and strength, had no intention of making a move, as if they had given up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It makes the Senate, which has secretly assembled heavy troops intent on a vicious battle with the Barham Alliance, feel like a punch in the air.
The dark guild is not full of reckless and stupid guys, and the guild that can sit firmly in the alliance is not a simple character, and there are many intelligent and wise people among them. While the Senate was counting them, they were also planning their own plans.
Different from the miscellaneous gangs at the bottom, the ones that can really be called "dark guilds" are quite difficult existences, and they basically have their own set of ideas and supporting action plans. Just like the Iron Forest, their goal is to retaliate by attacking and killing all the regular guild leaders in the regional council. Not to mention the big three, with their big goals.
In short, an organization with faith can be truly strong, even if it is an oblique religion.
The "Dream Demon Eye" is such a dark guild with faith and revenge, although they are also affiliated guilds under the "Gate of Hades", but compared to the vast majority of dark guilds, they have also touched the top level.
Like most of the dark guilds, the Dream Demon Eye believes in the Dark Archmage Jeff, and they believe in Gelf's great strength! Therefore, "becoming stronger" is the greatest purpose of the Dream Demon Eye, and they will do whatever it takes, including becoming a demon. It is precisely because of this that the Dream Demon Eye was chosen by the Gate of Hades as the source of reserves.
In this carnival of the dark guild's counterattack, the Dream Demon Eye certainly took action, but unlike those small guilds that did not enter the stream, they did not loot any city to loot money - for the Dream Demon Eye, money was no longer what they were pursuing, and the only thing they longed for was "power".
How to become powerful? In this magical world, it's very simple, as long as you have strong enough magic!
That's right, the goal of the Dream Demon Eye is magic, all kinds of rare and powerful magic!
And where can you get these powerful magics? The best principle is the "Tower of Babel", a large library located in the center of the continent. It is the largest library in the world, with a huge collection of books...... It's a real count, because no one can count how many books there are in the tower. It is widely believed that all the books in the world can be found in the Tower of Babel!
Of course, it also includes magical materials from ancient times, and those original manuscripts at the beginning of the rise of magic contain the "origin" of magic, which is said to be the core power of Jelf's dark magic. In addition, almost all of the "lost magic" that now appears in the wizarding world is the result of its users rummaging through the Tower of Babel.
The saying that knowledge is power is also true in the world of magic!
While hundreds of small gangs of miscellaneous soldiers stormed towns and villages to create chaos, the elite troops of the Dream Demon Eye came to the bottom of the Tower of Babel.
"Let those stupid guys go and grab the money, we just need the knowledge here!" the captain stared at the towering Tower of Babel, "Let's take this tower with the Eye of the Nightmare!"
The Tower of Babel denied access to all people of the Dark World, and even Presito, who found his childhood in Urrutia, was only able to enter it before he officially formed the "Demon Heart".
And even ordinary people are not just anyone who is qualified to enter the tower to study. As with other libraries, a "reading card" is required. In addition to giving a certain number of ID names to the major organizations, only those who pass the special mission set by the Tower of Babel can receive their own reading card!
Two thresholds down, and no one in the Nightimono's assault force had actually seen what it was like inside the Tower of Babel.
The captain waved his finger forward, "Go up, take this tower!" Collect as many magic books as you can before the Senate reacts!"
With an order, more than a dozen large fireballs smashed into the tower. Countless rubble fell, and the gate was bombed open. This surprised them a little, they originally thought that such an important place would at least be guarded by a powerful enchantment, so they would use strong firepower attacks to tear the enchantment, but they didn't expect that there was really no defense?
The captain's heart was hot, and he was ecstatic: "Come in!"
A group of people scrambled into the tower, stunned by what they saw.
The space inside the tower using the space expansion magic is very large, and the ground floor is a huge circle with a diameter of at least five hundred meters. There is no clear layering in the tower, but it extends straight all the way up, and there seems to be sunlight casting overhead. The walls around the tower are bookshelves, or there are endless walls of books on all sides! This amount is simply daunting!
Numerous staggered skybridge staircases connect to the bookshelves in front of the various bookshelves, allowing readers to walk and find the books they want. The intricate three-dimensional road is like a labyrinth, trapping people in this ocean of knowledge.
Because the number was beyond their wildest imagination, the invaders were a little overwhelmed - this ...... Even if everyone knows that there are countless powerful magical inheritances here, there are many more books here, and finding useful magical information is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
"No wonder there are so few lost magic...... "who can find this!"
"Huh, there's an intruder?" a loud voice suddenly echoed in the empty library, "Is the world already in chaos to this point, and anyone dares to break into the big library!"
The captain looked around: "What people! Sneaky, come out quickly!"
At this time, it was replaced by a woman's voice: "Found it, the coat of arms on their bodies is the Dream Demon Eye, well, it's the Dark Guild!"
Between the bookshelves on all sides, several figures suddenly came out, their bodies shrouded in a wide hooded cloak, and they couldn't see what they looked like.
One of them said hoarsely, "Since they are all invaders, then there is no mercy for killing!"
"What a joke!" the invading troops shouted, and they all attacked the gray-robed men first.
In the face of the various ** methods that flew towards them, the gray-robed people were all calm as usual. It's still the voice of the hoarse voice: "Silent Domain!"
Suddenly, there seemed to be a strange wave sweeping by, and the intruders were horrified to find that the surroundings had become silent for a moment, without the slightest sound.
"Silent Domain!" Then another wave swept by, and no one could speak again.
"Colorless Domain!" The world suddenly darkened, and only black and white were left in front of him.
Everything around is as if in a black-and-white silent movie.
Don't look, don't listen, don't speak! The tower keepers of the Tower of Babel, the independent guards of the Great Library, the guardians of countless secrets and forbidden knowledge, appeared.
