"We're on the tenth level right now, barely out of the range that stupid mortals like to entangle, but correspondingly, the range beyond that is not what I can- what? Are you still doubting my identity? ”

Following the floating phantom shadow towards the front of the corridor of the tower, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and the others were now moving in front of the rooms scattered on the outside of the tower in front of them, and the upside-down light and shadow also shone on these figures who were walking slowly with the reflection of these doors and nameplates, illuminating their serious and puzzled expressions again and again: "Yes, Tasker—no, Lord Marlock, we haven't heard from you for a long time. ”

"I haven't heard the name Tasker in a long time...... Hmph, are you the same people who used to be in Fars Fortress? The gorgeous phantom floating in the air did not look back, and the voice of the reply was full of disdain: "No, no, some of you seem to be very familiar. ”

"Especially you, Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice." His floating figure paused for a moment, and the killing intent that flowed out seemed to stay on the white-haired woman at the front of the line: "I've heard about some things outside during this time, but-"

"Don't think I'll forgive you for what you did."

A faint magical glow flashed above everyone's heads, and even the magical space full of strange energy rippled slightly, waving his hand and pointing at everyone's phantom, and then showed the obvious anger on his face, but the next moment it converged in the sight of several people pulling out their weapons in unison: "But this is an extraordinary time, and the discussion about this matter should be put on the agenda further later." ”

"I don't personally deny the tragedies that have happened in the past, but please understand that we didn't mean to be here." Ignoring the inquiring glances of several other teammates behind him, Xue Lingbing, who was walking in the forefront, replied stubbornly, "We were 'invited' to this tower because of some other purpose they wanted to achieve. ”

"I don't need you to warn you, I've already noticed an anomaly outside the tower." The cold snort flashed from everyone's ears again, and the phantom of Maroch began to float towards the depths of the corridor in front of the tower again: "Three hundred fats away from the northwest side of the tower, a huge void rift has appeared over there, and many enemies in the tower who were originally monitoring here have also been temporarily transferred to that direction, and it seems that they are gathering together with the assembly of the army......"

"Don't think that our vigilance here will decrease because of this change, on the contrary, it seems that the number of people here is starting to increase." He looked coldly at Xue Ling's face that was about to speak, and instantly suppressed the other party's movements: "Presumably they have always known that I was hiding here, so they want to send someone to deal with my existence." ”

"I think they're trying to catch us jumping out of the portal." Gedmayne gritted his teeth and muttered cautiously: "According to our previous guess, they should have set up two entrances and exits of the portal inside and outside the tower, since they are carrying out other actions from the entrance outside the tower, then they have naturally prepared our means to be teleported to the tower." ”

"Wrong! You're just a giveaway here. The disdain in Mallock's words, who had interrupted Gedmayne's voice, became even more apparent: "I've been here to entangle with them long before you came here!" Or rather, the struggle has begun since the beginning when the Tower of Tyranny was occupied! ”

"I'm the only opponent they have! They hated me for a long time! The voice became more and more intense, and the phantom floating in the air, which originally seemed calm and conceited, began to wave his arms at this time: "But I can't let them go!" I will never forgive them! As long as they occupy the tower for a day! As long as I'm still saddled with the name of Marlock! ”

"Then let's start here."

The silence appeared on the left and right sides of the corridor as the phantom's violent gasps gradually subsided, and finally broke again with the words from Marlock, who looked back at the faces of the players who had not spoken again, and resounded among the people with a regained composure: "The portal from the tenth floor to the eleventh floor is ahead, but the physical eleventh floor is further above, and through here, you will travel to the upper space of this tower." ”

"As you know, all the floors of the Tower of Tyranny are not arranged in order." His voice began to grow rapidly, as if he was increasing the speed at which he was transmitting information: "Before you pass through the twentieth floor, you will teleport in that area for a short time, and after the twentieth floor, you will teleport to another area of the tower—"

"Wait, wait."

Like a well-behaved student, Gedmayne was the first to raise his hand before he said the question he wanted to ask: "We have a preliminary understanding of the current state of this tower, but if I remember correctly, you seem to have mentioned the number of floors we want to go to......

"Eighty-eight floors, huh." Repeating the number that the other party wanted to say, Marlock's phantom squinted at the face of the Great Shield Warrior: "That's right, you need to break through to that place eventually, which is the hub of this tower, and the control center where the tower's magic structure and magic circuit are connected. ”

"I guess that's where you're looking right now, isn't it?" He withdrew his gaze, and the whispered voice became clear in everyone's ears: "Whether you want to leave this place, or for other purposes, your current situation and goals are the same as mine. ”

"We're not going to object to that, but that's not the biggest problem we're facing right now." Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Duan Qing, who walked out of the team, gestured slightly towards the portal not far from them: "The problem is the number eighty-eight floors themselves—no matter how powerful we are, we can't climb all the remaining floors on our own, if we count them, we still have a full seventy-eight floors to reach ......"

"Don't worry, I naturally have a way to send you over."

Waving his hand, Ma Luo's attention seemed to follow Duan Qing's gesture and looked in the direction of the portal, and the magic brilliance of nothingness also shrouded in the direction of the portal as he began to dance his fingers and continue to cast spells: "Although the management has been completely seized by the other party, the usurpation and modification of part of the authority is still in my hands, otherwise how do you think I have been lurking in this tower for so long?" ”

"Oh? Could it be that we can be sent directly to the eighty-eighth floor? Twisting his arm, Asahi Dongsheng jumped out excitedly: "Okay! My favorite thing is to skip the synopsis and go straight to the boss! We're - ouch! ”

"Where can it be so simple." Glancing coldly at the direction of the rising sun that had been knocked on the head by Duan Qing, Ma Luo replied indifferently: "If I had the power to be able to shuttle through all the floors, I would have already broken into the center of the central floor, what else do you need to do?" ”

"But since you have a way to sneak there, you don't need the help of our adventurers, do you?" Raising his eyebrows, Duan Qing also let go of his hand holding the rising sun: "In terms of strength, Your Excellency Ma Luo's strength should be several times stronger than the several of us combined, so why-"

"Because I'm already on the tower's blacklist."

The self-confidence and conceit that had been maintained in him disappeared for a moment, and the voice of the Mallock Phantom who turned his back sounded after a moment of silence: "Because of the loss of control over the tower, many of the shortcuts I know about are no longer available, and in order to prevent me from reusing this tower that has been excluded, they also changed the corresponding permissions early." ”

"You should be able to see the specific means of defense right away." Speaking of this, his voice paused slightly: "Forcibly going head-to-head with those devices will only attract more enemies, even those strong ones I don't want to face. ”

"I see, it's the guards who guard this tower." As if he understood what the other party was referring to at this time, Duan Qing patted his palm: "It's indeed a big trouble, but even if we let us go, the situation shouldn't change in any way." ”

"You're certainly not as vigilant as I am, at least not yet." Glancing deeply at Duan Qing, Ma Luo, who had not stopped casting spells, replied in a low voice, "You still have a chance to break through the shackles of those defense systems and get to where you want to be before they completely treat you as enemies that must be dealt with. ”

"Here's the map."

The fluctuations of space flashed in front of Duan Qing and the others for a moment, and a piece of parchment floating in the air was first presented in the space in front of the gray-robed magician, and Duan Qing, who hurriedly reached out to take this parchment, then also fell on the surface of the map with countless lines, and the voice that wanted to ask a question just now was then blocked by the phantom in front of him: "It draws the stealth route I prepared for you, as long as you follow this route, you should be able to successfully find the final way out." ”

"If something happens in the middle, you can deal with it yourself." The azure glow began to unfold in front of the players, revealing a new portal in front of them: "Go ahead, I've changed where you were supposed to teleport so you can once again avoid the sight of the Magic Empire bastards." ”

"It does sound urgent, so we won't waste any more time." Nodding at the other teammates present, Duan Qing then solemnly said in the direction of Ma Luo's phantom, "Although all this may be just a coincidence, we will try our best to complete the task you have entrusted to us. ”

"It's not a coincidence, it's fate." Glancing at Duan Qing again, Ma Luo, who took a step back, then replied in a low voice with an expressionless face: "Since fate has thrown you to this hellish place, even if you die in the end and have no place to be buried, you must complete the task I gave you, understand?" ”

"It's okay, what we're best at is stealing homes."

Not caring about the hurtful sharpness of the other party's words, Duan Qing pointed in the direction where the azure portal was: "Adventurers never value their lives, you can rest assured that even if we can't destroy this old nest within this old nest, we will definitely leave some other colorful heads for the other party as their reward for our hospitality." ”

"Your presence is much more important than we are." In the sight of several teammates beside him passing through the portal one after another, he bowed and said respectfully to the phantom in front of him: "We have a good relationship with the current Mage Council, and I myself am also a magical apprentice of Fernando Wiggins, from my personal position and point of view, I very much hope that you can survive the battle here safely, and then return triumphantly." ”

“…… Hum. The movements floating in place paused slightly, and Mallock snorted and turned his head away: "It's not your turn to worry about me now, so take care of yourselves first." ”

"I'll talk to you about the adventures of this time, and more about magic—I'm sure we'll have such an opportunity in the near future." Leaving one last look, Duan Qing turned around and walked into the portal: "Then ......"

"It's rude."

The fused glow disappeared at the end of the tower's corridor with the final departure of the gray-robed magician, and finally extinguished with the disappearance of the azure light, and the phantom named Marlock then left one last look at the location of the vanished portal, and slowly turned his silent face back: "Come out." ”

"I've imagined countless scenarios of catching you old fellow, but not this one."

The sound of clapping hands then sounded on the other side of the corridor, accompanied by an equally young-looking black figure gradually stepping out of the dark steps: "I didn't expect you to show up for this reason, Marlock." ”

"I am the Grand Mage of the Mage Council, the owner of the Tower of Tyranny." Shaking his fingers, Ma Luo, who was looking at the figure from afar, also showed a bit of conceited firmness on his face: "This is the best opportunity to turn the situation around, how can I let it go so easily?" ”

"Come on!"

The ripples of space gradually spread towards the side of the corridor with his shout, and instantly merged with the black streamer and the roar of the beast that were also spreading on the other side: "In this battle, you don't have any chance to interfere!" ”

"Ivoste!"
