Chapter 5: Rebellion (4)
Don't worry about your pair of servants," Ranke said, "they're just being shunned out - we're not sure we're *** them without alerting the people outside." He quickly raised his hand and whispered a word of "groaning" in his mouth, and an invisible rope immediately restrained Nack's hands and feet as he was about to rise from his seat.
"You'd better not try to resist," for some reason, the *** master's face was a little pale, and there was a hint of panic in his tone, "The potion of magic sculptions is enough to make you lose all power outside of your 'flesh' body within two hours, whether it comes from magic or abilities unique to the race. He looked around at his fellow people in the room, "We don't intend to hurt you, that means you're going to be enemies of the sub-giants, the dwarves, and the 'elve' at the same time, but if you must resist, I promise you, you will never be able to compete with magic right now." ”
"As for you," he said as he slowly walked into the room, his eyes unblinking, staring at Rhaegar who was still sitting in his chair, "I believe that as the former master of the Mage Tower, you have enough wisdom to understand the current situation, and if you don't want your companions and subordinates to be harmed, and you don't want to suffer unnecessary humiliation and suffering, you'd better not do anything stupid." Behind him, the other mages looked equally serious, as if they were not facing a mage who had lost his magical powers, but a dragon that would wake up at any moment.
"May I consider this a rebellion?" Rhaegar asked calmly, "How many of you are there, one-tenth of the Storm God?"
"Enough to master this mage tower after you," Ranke said, "Now please come with us, I don't want to use forced means to escort a forbidden mage, that would be a shame for all mages." His expression was extremely calm, but his eyes flickered, avoiding Rhaeggar's eyes.
"Can I know what you want me to do?" Rhaegar said, "Use me as a hostage, threaten those who are loyal to me to compromise, or lead my people into a trap in my name, and then catch them all?"
"You'll soon know," Rhaegar's reaction was not 'violent', even flat, but Ranke felt a mountain of pressure, even more than he had faced the master of the Mage Tower in the past, which made him feel irritable, "You'd better pretend to be casual and take the initiative to get out of here, I don't have much time." ”
"I'm the opposite. "At some point, a black 'colored' fireball appeared in Rhaegar's hand, the small fireball that slowly rotated looked inconspicuous, but in Rank's eyes, it was more terrifying than any powerful demonic beast.
"It's magic. The mages behind Ranke exclaimed in unison, and at the same time retreated towards the 'gate' in unison, their leader's reaction was not much stronger than theirs, and the 'color' of the *** division's face suddenly became whiter than snow.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be thinking about running away. "Kanna's voice came from behind the mages, and the stone man and his wife had somehow blocked the 'door' entrance, and at this moment, they were watching the mages trapped in the house, ready to pounce on them and tear them to shreds.
"You think a little trick can move us away from our master?" said Kana sarcastically, "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that in this mage tower, our first duty is to protect our master, and in the event of a conflict with it, even if the god of the storm is in ruins before our eyes, we will not leave our posts one step." ”
Rank, as if he suddenly understood something, looked at Canna, and then at Rhaegar behind him, his face becoming more and more pale.
"It is true that the Elixir can imprison the magic of a forbidden mage in a short period of time," Rhaegar said, "but you have overlooked: you are not the only ones who know the story about the Phenast, in fact, the truth that you don't know is," a smile appeared on his face, "The person Finnast trusted in this world was not his apprentice, but his friend who had studied magic with him, and this friend was none other than my teacher's father, Sun. He stared at Ranke and his accomplices as if he were a trapped beast in a cage, "It's not that there is no antidote, in fact, it's in my hands. ”
Krens's figure appeared quietly in the room, seeing the appearance of this demon 'hybrid' child, Ranke suddenly understood why their plan failed, and this *** division collapsed to the ground weakly, and there was no longer any anger on his face.
Rhaegar didn't pay any attention to Rank, who was not struggling at all, and let the people brought by Stone Man and Krens escort him and his companions away, and looked at the human and demon 'mixed' bloods, and after the other party nodded affirmatively, the master of the mage tower stood up from his seat.
"I'm sorry to have drawn you into this unseemly rebellion," Rhaegar said to his companions, "but I have to, or the gang might be alert, and then I won't be able to find evidence of their rebellion, and thus keep these dissidents in my mage tower for a longer time - if I arrest them for no reason, it will make more people dissent." ”
He waved his hand slightly, and a crystal ornament-like object fell off the wall and flew into his hand.
"They've installed some kind of magic device in this room," Rhaegar said, "and this magic device can relay our words and actions to a specific receiving device, and if I have any hints at you, they'll be the first to notice." ”
"But you should at least tell us beforehand," Nack said, "that no one can install a magic device in your top hall, where you can say everything." ”
"Actually, I can't do that. A wry smile suddenly appeared on Rhaeggar's face, "This mage tower has such devices installed everywhere, even in the top hall, don't ask me what is going on, I don't know how they were installed, but they are seven thousand years old at the shortest - they have existed since the day the God of Storms was established." None of the owners of the Mage Towers have left a record of this, and if they weren't so old that they revealed a faint wave of energy when activated, I would never have known that everything about me could be under the watchful eye of others, and thankfully, these devices were received right inside the Mage Tower, and they weren't activated until you got here, otherwise the result might have been the opposite. ”
"You made us drink the poison of the Phinesters. Heim said calmly, as an 'elf' spirit, he was no stranger to the figure that shook almost the entire mage world six hundred years ago.
"You've taken the Elixir," Reganak and Tomahawk said, "while you're drinking Solan," he turned to Haim, "and you've inhaled the Elixir before you enter this room, the Elixir only lasts less than two seconds on you, and if Nack gets up any longer, he'll find that the magic rope is of no use to him." ”
The sub-giant under the restraint exerted a slight force, and the invisible magic rope immediately turned into countless energy fragments and scattered.
"It's Kotlal," Haim said suddenly, "they poisoned the Kotlar I brought." The 'elf' spirit had a terrifying glint in his eyes: "They know my whereabouts, and in the past few decades, I have been greatly helped by the Tower of the Mage of St. Endos, and they have taken advantage of this, and those magical beasts have been released or brought in by them in order to 'force' me to the great tree that secretes kotrar." He stood up and walked to the 'door', "Whoever they are, they have to pay for it." ”
"They will. Rhaegar said, following the spirit towards the door, "I assure you that even if they can clearly understand what is happening here, it will not change their fate, and my men have already started cleaning the room. ”
Suter sat in a chair in the secret room of the mage tower, calmly looking at Seren and a dozen mages standing in front of him, the crystal ball that connected all the monitoring devices in the mage tower had unmistakably told him the end of the plan: a fiasco, a fiasco with no room for recovery. Just as his people gathered and prepared to use it as bait after Rank's escort of Rhaegar to annihilate the most loyal friends of the Master Tower's master in one fell swoop, countless translucent small spheres poured out from the suddenly opened spatial 'door', and as soon as these overwhelming orbs 'appeared' their faces, they 'shot' 'spirit' attacks that were denser than the rainstorm. The attack directly on the soul caught all the mages and 'acolytes' by surprise, and before they could react, each of them received at least a hundred violent shocks from the 'spirits', enough to destroy an entire large city, and all of them were destroyed in almost the same instant.
Everything is clear, from the very beginning, his plan was already in the hands of Rhaeggar, who did not even use a single soldier of the mage tower, but only used two unfamiliar powers in his hands: one was a translucent orb capable of 'spirit' attacks - like the members of the mage tower, Suter was unaware of the existence of the Explorers, nor did he know that these creatures with geist' characteristics could compress their bodies at will, and the other was the army of snow apes led by Hel. With the help of Hull and his legion's spatial teleportation ability, and with Rhaegar's acquiescence, these orbs were able to easily break through the shield of the mage tower, and all of his men were annihilated in the form of a surprise attack.
