Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11: Mercy, Pros and Cons, Reentry
The Floating Magic Tower is no ordinary magic tower, and the Philip Frontier Marquis knows this.
Ordinary magic tower is based on the number of floors to determine its strength, this is not a simple plus one or two floors to finish, between the three-story magic tower and the five-story magic tower, the difference in the number of magic circuits is almost ten times, each additional floor, the magic circuit of the magic tower is increased by geometric multiples, the general legendary magicians and the like, the magic towers they have are basically seven-story magic towers, and then it is too difficult to add floors.
In addition to ordinary magic towers, there are also special magic towers, such as deep sea magic towers, underground magic towers, elemental magic towers, plant magic towers, etc., all of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, generally speaking, special magic towers are generally two to three times more expensive than ordinary magic towers, and their special effects are often the specialty of the owner of the magic tower.
The Floating Magic Tower actually belongs to the Special Magic Tower, but the Floating Magic Tower belongs to the special of the special, because the Floating Magic Tower needs to solve three problems, the first is the magic constancy that can carry the entire magic tower in the air, the second is the various precious minerals that can carry the floating magic constancy, and the third magic tower itself The magic circuit itself can load the floating magic constancy and the magic tower itself at the same time.
These are the three major difficulties, and the magicians who can complete these three major difficulties are usually demigods or even spirit positions, for them, the effect of the floating magic tower to avoid the enemy, and the effect of fast movement is not so important, to put it simply, it is not cost-effective, too expensive, too difficult, and the effect is not as good as imagined, rather than making a floating magic tower, it is better to make other special magic towers.
Therefore, except for the top 100 imperial races of all races, other races and alliances rarely have floating magic towers, and even among those empires, floating magic towers are very rare, and the number is in single digits.
On weekdays, the floating magic tower seems to be a bit chicken, but in the current situation, the ground is covered with all kinds of undead creatures, the number is innumerable, no matter what special magic tower you have, it will be broken sooner or later under the siege of this number of undead, but the floating magic tower has no such concern, after floating, only the flying undead can attack, or the undead can barely attack, but the floating magic tower is not just floating in the air as a target, it will fly, and the flight speed is extremely fast, and it is also a magic tower itself, as long as there is a magician presiding over it, it is equivalent to a mage fortress, dealing with a scarce number of flying undead is not a problem at all.
The Philippe Frontier Marquis didn't know that this magic tower belonged to that powerful person, but he knew that the Plant Alliance, and even the surrounding alliances, did not have a floating magic tower, not on the surface, nor secretly, the Elf Empire did have a floating magic tower, but the Philippe Frontier Marquis knew what the situation of the Elf Empire was, from the appearance of the underworld camp to the present, the Elf Empire did not send an army to encircle and suppress it, and it can be seen that this floating magic tower is most likely not from the Elf Empire.
But no matter whether this magic tower belongs to that power, at least he is not an enemy of the underworld camp, the Philippe border marquis can see it clearly, this magic tower is obviously here to take advantage of the fire, it wants to rob the city's spirit stones and various precious materials, but the philip border marquis also feels understandable for this, anyone can see that the fall of the city is only a matter of time, rather than leaving these things to the forces of the lower plane, it is better to obtain the power of all races.
The only thing that the Marquis of the Phillip Frontier is worried about now is what is the attitude of this great power towards them, whether he will accept them as a group of war refugees, if it is a good-hearted power, it may give them a glimmer of life, but ......
If he has this floating magic tower, and he is a demigod or even higher, this time the action is just to obtain a large number of spirit stones and precious items, then he will never care about anyone struggling to survive on the ground, the more high-ranking people have less concept of good and evil in their hearts, only talking about interests, only talking about intimacy, only talking about friends and enemies.
But this is the last chance, he can't give up, even if it's not for himself, but also for his daughter, even if it is to sell his body for decades, he has to grab this line of life for his daughter, even if the power is a demigod or a stronger person, he won't mind having an extra high-level magician servant, right?
There are more than 400 people in the team, of which more than 100 people have no combat effectiveness, and among the remaining more than 200 people, there is only such a legal system as the Philippe Border Marquis, plus his two escort captains are extraordinary warriors, and a dwarf warrior, a total of four transcendental, in this dense sea of undead, they are really difficult to move an inch, and there are people who die and fall behind every moment, as long as they leave the team, even the extraordinary warriors will not live for three seconds, and they will immediately be eaten by the dense undead, and even the soul will be sucked away.
The boundary between life and death was confused here, and everyone gradually despaired, because they saw that the magic tower stopped at least two thousand meters away, a pillar of light fell, and the building under the pillar of light suddenly broke open, and from the building, there were countless spirit stones and various metal minerals, and various weapons and armor were sucked onto the magic tower, of course, there were also a large number of undead who were sucked up, but they were immediately shattered by the pillar of light, and only a large amount of materials were swept up.
Everyone knows that this magic tower is here to rob the materials, and once the materials are robbed, then it will immediately go to find the next target, and it is impossible for everyone to catch up with this magic tower, they ...... It's all dead!
“...... No, we still have hope, we ......" Philip Frontier Hou hissed and roared with all his might, but on this battlefield, his roar was as faint as the buzzing of mosquitoes.
At this point, Filip Frontier Hou watched the magic tower absorb all the materials, and they were trapped here, the number of people was only about one hundred and fifty, they were already at the most desperate time, seeing this, Fili Frontier Hou spit out a mouthful of blood, his whole face was golden purple, and he just stared at the magic tower in the sky with wide eyes.
Thinking of a cry, she was already beside the Philippe Frontier Hou, and directly hugged the weak Philippi Frontier Hou, and cried loudly: "Father, father!!"
At this moment, suddenly another pillar of light fell from the magic tower, this pillar of light actually enveloped the remaining people, enveloping everyone and tens of thousands of surrounding undead in it, and then everyone found themselves slowly floating in the air, and the undead in the same pillar of light immediately smoked, and then shattered in the light, and the rest of the people felt warm, and some of the injuries on their bodies that were attacked by the undead had black gas coming out, and the curse and poison were lifted at this time.
Everyone was stunned, and then they immediately cheered, it was clear that they had been saved, saved by the power of this floating magic tower!!
Everyone was crying and screaming again, and as they got closer and closer to the magic tower, everyone slowly quieted down, and then more worries appeared, after all, they were going to a magic tower with a completely unknown power, and they didn't know who this power was, what if it was an evil magician?
The legend of the evil magician has been passed on among the people, which is both exaggerated and true, if it falls into the hands of an evil magician who loves to study, to be honest, I am afraid that it is more cruel than death, but at this time, everyone has no way back, they can only pray that the powerful magician they met is a figure on the righteous side, even if it is neutral, if it is evil...... At least it's order-based evil, right?
The crowd penetrated the top of the pillar of light in their trepidation, and then they appeared on a sunny meadow with a tall magic tower in the middle of the lawn, and in the distance, all they saw was a hazy void.
"Half-plane, this is the half-plane floating magic tower!" Filly Frontier Marquis was stunned, he muttered to himself, and Nianzhi beside him was also stunned.
Half-plane is rare, especially controlled, and the half-plane with the living environment of living creatures in it is even more rare, not to mention demigod magicians, it is a treasure that spirit magicians can't easily get, and a floating half-plane magic tower, which represents what makes Filip's heart heavy.
At this time, a large number of voices came from the magic tower, and everyone hurriedly looked, and saw several elves walking out of the magic tower with a large group of humans.
The same plant lineage, although the elves are not really plant bloodlines strictly speaking, but now that the tree people are hidden, the elves have carried the banner of the leader race of the plant lineage, and for so many years after the end of the war of all races, the leader of the elves has actually done a very good job, and it is also one of the main races of the justice family, and the elves are more righteous.
Just as Philip was thinking this, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he immediately deflected his perspective to look at a human youth standing a few steps behind these elves.
The young man was a human being, and he could already be seen very clearly from his physical characteristics, and he was not extraordinary, just an ordinary mortal, but ...... He was actually these people, including the humans in the array, and the leaders of these elves!
The Marquis of Filip is a high-ranking nobleman himself, and a high-level magician, he has always been a hero in the eyes of everyone, and he is also an old leader, not to mention anything else, his vision is always not weak, at this time he clearly understands that this human youth who seems to be a few steps behind the elves, he is the person in charge here, he is the leader who really decides everything, and even from the perspective of his momentum, he may be able to keep pace with the owner of this magic tower......
"Nameless pedigree!!" Philip was so shocked that he subconsciously called out these words.
Several elves were about to speak, but when they heard this, their faces immediately changed, and at the same time, they all looked at Hao, and even Noldor directly raised the bow and crossbow on his waist.
Hao shook his head helplessly, he originally planned to hide behind the elves, after all, his human identity was too sensitive, but who knew that the other party just screamed, and these elves showed their stuff, but they showed him, as for the words in the mouth of this border marquis, they actually couldn't be taken seriously at all, but they guessed from some aspects that he was the leader of the human race, and he was distracted for a while.
At that moment, Hao directly stood behind the elf and said: "There is not much time now, I will make a long story short, sign a master-servant contract with me for a period of thirty years, and you will regain your freedom after thirty years, I have already drawn up the contract, just sign it, if you don't agree, then please leave this magic tower." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but except for the Marquis of Filip and a few people, the rest of the people had indignant expressions on their faces.
This is actually the human heart, that is, it is just out of the sky, and it is all dependent on this magic tower to survive, but if it is a magical power, demigod, spirit or something that comes out at this time, it is to ask them to sign a lifelong master-servant contract, it is estimated that basically all of them will agree, and they will even be grateful to Dade, but what comes out at this time is a human being, which makes them mumble and injustice in their hearts, why?
At this time, Nianzhi suddenly said in amazement: "God, is it you? Is this magic tower your master's? Is it your master who saved us? Do I have to sign this contract too?"
There have always been a lot of words in this thought, Hao didn't care, he was going to answer yes, so that he could still hide behind a virtual master, but his heart flashed a few words of the nameless genealogy that the Marquis of the Phillip border said before, these words made his heart flash a lot of thoughts in an instant, and it seemed that he only paused slightly, probably surprised by the appearance of Nianzhi or something, and then Hao smiled and said to everyone: "That's right, I am the master here, the owner of this magic tower, and...... Nameless pedigree!"
Except for the humans, everyone else showed shocked expressions, even including those elves, because in their thoughts, Hao has always liked to hide himself, and it is the first time to stand up like this, but they are really almost superstitious about Hao, at this time, they looked at each other, did not speak, but consciously stood behind Hao.
Filip Frontier Marquis showed such an expression, he looked at Hao with a complicated expression, then looked at the magic tower and his daughter, and then he said categorically: "Okay, I will sign, thirty years of master and servant contract, I will sign! But my daughter ...... them."
Nianzhi didn't wait for her father to finish speaking, she walked up a few steps and looked at Hao Dao: "God, even I want to sign it?"
Hao turned a blind eye to Nianzhi's expression and eyes, he smiled and said: "Yes, everyone must sign a master-servant contract with me, in fact, before the Marquis tells the secret, those who are unwilling to sign a contract, we will let you go down after leaving the battlefield, but not now, this secret must be guaranteed, so if you are not willing to sign a contract, then please get off this magic tower immediately." ”
Those who were indignant on their faces were all muttering, but no one dared to say anything like that they would rather die than give in, and then the dwarven second-order warrior suddenly said, "This human lord. ”
He paused heavily on the word human before he said: "Even if I am not a legal system, I know that signing a master-servant contract will make the master contract bear the burden of souls, even if the legendary magician has a maximum of a dozen masters and servants on the soul contract, no more can bear it, no more can bear it...... To put it mildly, there are more than a hundred of us here, and I don't know who the human adults plan to sign with us?"
Hao had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately smiled and said, "Of course it is...... You're all there!"
The dwarven warrior opened his mouth, and then showed a mocking expression, but he didn't want to At this moment, the magic tower flashed with lightning and crackled, and the dwarven warrior fell to the ground in charred black, but he was not dead, but his face was curled on the ground with horror and trembled, and he didn't dare to get up casually.
"Call your lord, it's not polite, rude earth spirit species, or I'll teach you what elven politeness is!" Say's voice came from the magic tower.
At this time, the Marquis of Fili Frontier walked up a few steps and said, "I heard that the Venerable can sign a master-servant contract almost infinitely, and the Lord is an anonymous genealogy, and I think he has the ability to do this, so let me sign the contract with the Lord first." ”
Hao was not polite, he made a direct void move, and the light on the magic tower condensed, and suddenly a magic contract appeared in his hand, which was what he had told Ay to do, and even in just a few minutes, he even decided on the content of the magic contract.
Filip Frontier Hou took the magic contract and looked at it carefully, he is a high-level magician, never forget, one glance and ten lines or something is just his basic ability, this magic contract is a variant of the master-servant contract style, which naturally stipulates the death of the master, the content of the death of the servant, and the content of the death of the servant, and it is not allowed to divulge all the secrets of the master, and it also includes the prohibition of all subjective betrayals, but this master-servant contract is somewhat advantageous, which has the servant's right to life has not violated the contract, and at the same time is guaranteed in non-emergency situations, that is, the master cannot kill the servant for no reason just by heart, this alone is very good, you must know that it is common to kill servants among high-ranking nobles, and this is not yet a magical contract type of servant.
As for the others, there are also servants who can receive monthly salaries and bonuses according to their abilities and positions, and there are also legal servants and war servants who can obtain extraordinary benefits from their masters, such as potions, such as the use of magic towers, etc., there are hundreds of them, and after reading them, the Philippe Frontier Marquis directly wrote his magic mark and name on it, and then he immediately looked at Hao carefully.
Hao actually knew that signing the master-servant contract would cause a burden on the soul, but the magic books he read only mentioned it, he didn't know how serious the soul burden was, and when he first met Oranli to give the legacy, he drove the duck to the shelves and let him sign the master-servant contract of all the elves, including Aid, a second-order magician, who signed a master-servant contract with a stronger life, the heavier the soul burden caused, at that time, in fact, Hao himself could not bear it, this was actually one of Oranli's tests, he would rather have the information ruined than give it to a human casually, and Hao didn't know these at that time。
However, to everyone's surprise, he took on the soul burden of the master-servant contract of all the elves, and he was not affected in any way, which is what made Oranri make up his mind.
These days, Hao has actually been silently collecting intelligence information about that Venerable, although it is very little, but it is not without gains, for example, that Venerable is gifted, and has signed master-servant contracts with a large number of people, including many legendary demigods, and it is even said that he can even sign a master-servant contract with the holy gods, and has never heard of his soul being burdened or anything, Hao feels that he is likely to have received a gift from that Venerable, or that when the Venerable taught him, he also had such a physique, otherwise it cannot be said that he can also ignore the burden of the soul。
At this time, after the Marquis of Filip signed the master-servant contract, the contract was dispersed, and Hao felt a heavy pressure rushing in between his eyebrows, heavy, as if he was going to stun his whole person, but this heavy pressure only lasted for a moment, and immediately dissipated without a trace, and immediately his heart was settled, and even his smile seemed real.
Filip Frontier Marquis secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case, and a smile appeared on his face, although becoming a servant, and the master and servant of the magic contract did make him unhappy, but just like the laity, becoming a servant for the emperor and a servant for a beggar, these are two different things, if this human being is a nameless genealogy, then this is really not ashamed.
Seeing that the strongest of the people in the filet border marquis signed a contract, although the rest of the people were indignant, they also signed a master-servant contract with Hao in turn, especially the reluctance on Nianzhi's face when he signed with Hao, staring at Hao viciously for a long time, so that Hao turned his head embarrassedly, she finally signed the contract, and then the filet border marquis immediately said to Hao: "My lord, may I ask if we are only robbing spirit stones and materials next?"
When Hao heard this, he asked, "Lord Marquis, what about your suggestion?"
"Don't dare, please call me Filip. Fili said obediently: "My suggestion is that although the city has fallen, there are still many elites in the remaining area, such as several master forgers in the mining union hall, and two magic towers that have not fallen, the owners of the towers are all high-level magicians, as well as their apprentices, I think there should be a lack of many magicians to control the entire magic tower now, right?" And this magic tower has both half-plane and floating functions, if it is fully developed, the future achievements are limitless, which requires a large number of magicians, not to mention that in addition to magicians, after the magic tower lands in the future, it will definitely have to explore the surroundings, and the number of extraordinary warriors is also small, so ......"
Hao nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, without further ado, Mr. Fili, please come with me into the Magic Tower, and I will give you a certain share of the control of the Magic Tower, and at the same time give you a place to save it...... Five thousand, up to another five thousand, this is the limit. ”
At this time, Nian Zhi said loudly: "God, there are at least a few million people below who are about to be killed and eaten by those monsters, and even their souls can't rest in peace, we only save five thousand people!?"
Filip took the first step and shouted to his daughter: "Shut up! We can already be merciful if we can save some people, first save ourselves, then others, there is a way to enter and exit is virtue, is your teacher teaching you to selflessly dedicate everything you have? That is not called mercy, that is called moral kidnapping!"
Nian Zhiyan, although there are still a lot of discomforts in her heart, but she also understands that what her father said is true, not to mention how many people this half-plane can carry, the energy pool of the magic tower alone is limited, no matter how hard she fights, it is impossible to save all people, she forced it just now......
Although Hao also has mercy on the innocent, but after all, he has more reason in his heart, so he didn't say much at this time, and entered the magic tower with Fili, and then through Ai, Fili also obtained about one-tenth of the magic tower use rights.
At this moment, under the control of two high-level magicians, with faster speed and more powerful magic, they have blasted a passage in this city, and began to save the elites in Fili's mouth, as well as rob the banks in the city, the inventory of the large union and other places.
In the end, there were more than 6,000 people in the entire half-plane, plus the total number of original humans and elves reached more than 7,700, including three high-level magicians including Fili, in other words, there were four high-level magicians in the entire magic tower, and then eleven second-order magicians, thirty-six first-order magicians, more than one hundred and forty magic apprentices, and in terms of transcendent warriors, three third-order warriors, and a total of ninety-one second-order and first-order warriors, this is already very terrifying, in addition to legends, this is almost the most essential part of a city。
Then there are all kinds of other elites, minerals, plants, farming, blacksmithing, accounting, building, weapons...... Wait, of course, Hao finally relented, that is, Fili had some selfishness and rescued some ordinary women and children, and he didn't say anything, just controlled the number......
The whole robbery and rescue lasted for several days, there was no legend or above in the troops of this underworld camp, and the number of flying undead was even less than imagined, although the soul furnace could cause pollution and damage to the magic tower, but its mobility was so poor that it made people cry, and it was almost impossible to attack the magic tower, and there was no fallen area, with Fili, the local frontier marquis, to guide the way, and what valuables those nobles had in their homes, he was almost always clear.
Although Hao made up his mind to rob and leave, but these things are really too tempting, it looks basically no danger, as a result, this rescue, this robbery, in the end, he even acquiesced to Fili's control of the magic tower to empty the undead of a city wall, so that more citizens in the city took advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, nine out of ten of them will die in the wilderness and the pursuit of the undead, but it is estimated that a few people can be lucky to avoid the danger and live.
In the end, the magic tower robbed more than 80 million spirit stones, pure gold, mythril, orichalcum and other precious minerals piled up like a hill, as well as various magic weapons, magic armor, hundreds of magic strange things, just the legendary magic strange things have three, all piled up in the magic tower warehouse waiting to be sorted.
As a result, when the magic tower left the main border city, several days had passed, and there was only more than an hour left before Hao's seven-day limit.
More than 6,000 people, including high-level magicians, extraordinary warriors, nobles, bureaucrats, technicians, trade union personnel, and some civilians, are in chaos, although they have Filip to command them, but the entire half-plane is still in chaos, Hao has no time to make any rules, at the moment he carefully told Ay to guard the magic tower, she is now the only one who knows the magic tower control runes, and everyone else has the right to use it temporarily, as long as this magic tower is in hand, others can't afford to make any waves, not to mention that they all have a master-servant contract with Hao, and they don't have to worry about them coming hard。
After these were done, Hao lay down in the isotope device, thinking again and again about whether there was anything missing, thinking about it, he fell asleep directly as soon as it was dark in front of his eyes.
When Hao woke up, what he saw was Xu Le and the others, they had already gotten up, and they were looking out with restless eyes, Hao's heart trembled, looking at their expressions, they already knew something, there was no doubt that they probably saw the sin beast!
Then Hao followed and looked out the window with a solemn gaze, and then he almost squirted out his saliva......
Just outside the window, an earless civet cat more than 20 meters tall with a blue and white tone was fighting with a mosaic......
