Chapter 604: Its Secret (24)
Whether it's right or wrong to make the most reliable, not the most powerful, a guardian, is anyone's right.
At least, for now, it's the right thing to do.
Because the wizard in front of him is already worthy of the trust of the empire.
The four corners of the palace walls soon lit up thick beacon smoke, which was not only a signal for help, but also part of the pre-prepared killing moves of the guardian wizard.
Most wizards, given the time, will have tools that are far more effective than casting spells alone, and are so varied that they can sometimes be overwhelming.
Magic golems are relatively common among them, but this does not mean that this method is not powerful enough. Common means common, but it also means that it is widespread and more likely to be accepted by more casters. Whether this very popular method is strong or weak depends on the caster himself. Being widely circulated is actually the best proof of superiority.
Like the one in the Imperial Palace of Greenland, the unique backhand of wizards who are similar to the formation but specious is extremely rare.
Popularization does not mean weakness, and rare certainly does not mean strong, but generally this means can be recognized by people and arranged, it must have something unique.
As the smoke lit up, the troops stationed farther away were immediately summoned and understood that something had happened near the palace.
At the same time, a wave of heat poured out of the palace, like a firewood burned out, and the heat emitted was not scorching, but full of dry and stuffy heat.
Ordinary people don't feel this deeply enough, wherever the heat rushes, the huge snow monsters pause, and the unstoppable snow demon army shouts in horror as if they have encountered some natural disaster and natural enemy.
However, this heat flow just rushed by, came and went quickly, and did not cause any after-effects, there was no chain of big moves, so the snow monsters quickly continued to pace, the snow demons were a little afraid, but they also quickly recovered their state, at least on the surface, they were still powerful, waving thick weapons, difficult to resist!
The abandoned garden behind the palace, this ruin, did not have any war spread.
It was not within the guarded area of the palace wall, it used to be in the palace city, but the wall was torn down and rebuilt, and it was isolated.
Of course, this is because this place is not peaceful, and there are many supernatural legends.
Now, as if confirming this statement, even the snow devils and snow monsters seem to have consciously bypassed this place and refused to attack in the slightest.
On the top floor of the Magic Tower, Lynch ignored the obstacle of vision and took in the whole picture.
If it is thousands of miles away, or on the horizon of the sea, he will have to use the power of the crystal ball to get a glimpse of it. It's just that in this city, especially near the palace and the legal domain, he can be said to have the ability to see and hear, as long as he wants to see and hear, no matter how good he is, it is useless to hide, and he should be the only sober witness on the chaotic battlefield.
Lynch looked at the royal palace of the Greenland Empire with some surprise, and even he didn't expect that the royal family of this country and the recent court mages were really interesting, and prepared a backhand that even surprised him.
This backhand is actually not very strong, and in terms of practicality, it may not be comparable to the Snow Monster Legion.
But it is subtle, subtle, and a combination of generations, benefiting future generations.
The first guardian mage of the empire, very interesting.
This kind of thing is not exclusive to the protector mage in this world, every country can have it. In the Greenland Empire, there are also protectors, but they are not called protectors. Since the Snow White Queen's affair, the empire has no longer set up protectors, but has instead established permanent mages.
The Protector Mage and the Guardian Mage are actually the same, but just listening to the name, the difference between the two words, you know that there is still a big difference between the two.
The guardian mages of the Greenland Empire, in recent times, have not been particularly outstanding. If these mages are placed in some small countries, they may appear extremely powerful, and one person will be a country. But in the empire, it is only an important part of the power map, and it is by no means indispensable, let alone uncontrollable and restrained.
Because of his limited strength, the guardian mage of the Greenland Empire is probably the most "loyal" of the protectors of all countries.
Of course, even this kind of "loyalty" is still difficult for other spellcasters to understand. Because in this world, there are no altruistic wizards, not even wizards who seem to be loyal.
At this point, Lynch kind of understood.
The guardian mage of the Greenland Empire, the related welfare conditions, does not have much to attract.
But it can still attract some wizards who are not the strongest, but not weak, which is by no means the charm of the Empire.
Those spellcasters, after becoming guardian mages, are also profitable and have great benefits in themselves.
To put it bluntly, what makes those mages happy is still power!
Give them access to stronger powers, give them the opportunity to manipulate stronger powers, the Imperial Mage who succeeded the Snow Queen... The first generation of guardian mages was really well-intentioned.
What's even more rare is that this power is not completely separated from mortals, this power comes from nature, but it requires artificial cooperation, and the power of non-master can be borrowed, which maximizes the mage who wants to control this powerful force, it is difficult to completely turn his face with the elite of the empire, unless it doesn't matter if he is beaten back to his original form!
Who would have thought that a tunnel or a deep pit had been dug out of the underground of the Imperial Palace of Greenland, leading straight to the center of the molten lake!
In order to attract the power of the molten lake, the empire even secretly gathered skilled craftsmen and built a huge underground factory!
The only fly in the ointment is probably that this is not a natural active volcano after all, so the power of earth fire that can be borrowed is still limited. But if this is really a volcano, not to mention that the palace will not be built on it at all, and even if it is built on it, who can and who would dare to easily steal the destructive power that truly belongs to nature? At least with the power of those "guardian mages", it is far from enough.
Even now, the artificial excavation and excavation of the molten lake, and the cooperation of a large number of manpower, the work of several generations of wizards can only be used to invoke the heat that belongs to the center of the earth, and this is the only point, once the guardian wizards of the past generations release this huge energy, they can also exert their strongest combat power several times!
This is already very amazing, although it is not enough to withstand the Snow Demon Snow Monster Legion, considering the lack of strength of the wizards themselves, and the defense of the Greenland Empire against wizards, it is hard to believe that the Empire will let the wizards master such a terrible killing weapon!
But even Lynch had to admit that at least at this time, it became the last straw, so the predecessors of the empire did not do anything wrong.
The snow devil wielded a huge mallet and broke the layers of protective lines.
That huge size already represents terrifying power, and a simple impact can easily knock people out.
The defenders flipped on their backs, and the defenders in the front row fell out, but knocked the people behind them into a rut, breaking their muscles and bones.
The snow monster is more terrifying than the snow devil, the snow devil can still block one or two with his flesh and blood, the knight launched a charge, it is not without hope to slash, the snow devil is even more unstoppable, and it is no longer human to beat.
They don't love to fight, in just a quarter of an hour, most of the snow monsters have rushed to the front of the palace, and some have even broken through the palace gate, but for some reason, it seems to be bound by some kind of force and is not allowed to enter!
These snow monsters, no troops can stop them, at least the defenders in the imperial city are far from enough, so the city guards have completely given up the act of sending them to death, and handed over these big guys to the elite in the palace to deal with.
This greed for life and fear of death is normal and wise.
The big men and elites in the palace also lived up to expectations, although the snow monsters were unstoppable, but the ones who rushed to the front were also the most restrained, and they were really trapped!
At the main entrance of the palace, the transparent huge snow monster no longer knows whether to call it a "snow monster", or a "water monster", or a "man-eating monster", it is transparent like a stream of water, it does not look difficult to deal with, but it easily traps and suffocates the most powerful warriors like insects, so that hundreds of terrible corpses are frozen in a jelly-like body, this monster is even more terrible than before, and now it has been completely "frozen" at the gate of the city that it has pushed down, just like the countless corpses that he has integrated into his body, unable to move.
It seemed to be bound by countless invisible chains, and it seemed to have become another viscous palace gate, blocking the pace of backwards.
The many bones suspended in its viscous body made this "door" look very strange and terrifying.
Some snow monsters are still bombarding the city walls, trying to knock down the huge walls that are several meters thick!
On a year-to-year scale, it's like humans trying to tear down a thicker and taller wall with their bare hands.
If it is really human, even if it is magnified to the snow monster, this kind of behavior is of course futile and weak. But the snow monster is not human, and even after shrinking year-on-year, it is much stronger than ordinary people!
Bang!
There was a wall that was torn down, and this was not the first time that it had been forcibly bombarded, but this time, the snow monster that rushed in from the crack in the wall was not bound by the invisible net like its previous kind!
Perhaps there is a vulnerability in the network itself, and it is more likely that its load has reached its limit.
There is no unbreakable defense in this world, and the reason why it is not broken is because it has not yet reached the limit of its bearing!
In the depths of the palace, the guardian mage sitting in front of the huge red-glowing underground cavern couldn't help but spill blood from his mouth.
His talent is "Melting Fire", which can not only control fire, but also devour flames, in fact, it is to melt and digest, so he is immune to most fire damage.
This kind of talent is rare, and it can fit well with the imperial capital palace, which has been carefully arranged for more than a hundred years.
But no matter how high the fit is, this is not arranged by him single-handedly after all, so he can use many of them, but he is not handy when it comes to manipulating.
