The inner courtyard of Nilogaard, the Tower of Wisdom.

At this time, the situation in the inner courtyard was as bad as the outer courtyard, many places were on fire, many towers were also torn down, and the roads were crowded with monsters, the number of which exceeded thousands.

These monsters didn't stop for a moment, and they all ran wildly towards the center of the inner courtyard. In the center of the inner courtyard, a tall white tower more than 50 meters high rises, and the outer part of the tower is shrouded in a purple light mask as thin as mist.

The monsters rushed to the edge of the white tower, but they were firmly blocked by this layer of light shield, and they were never able to attack the white tower's body.

All kinds of strangely shaped creatures howled and roared, desperately attacking the purple light mask, but except for the strange sound of 'buzz~' 'buzz~'' and 'buzz~', the purple light mask did not show any change.

After besieging in vain for five or six minutes, a mellow voice suddenly came from the periphery: "Stop, all retreat." ”

The sound was not loud, but in the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, every word seemed to contain magic, and it clearly reached the ears of every monster.

These unruly monsters, after hearing this, actually stopped their movements in unison, turned around, and quickly retreated. Looking at it from afar, it looks like a tidal wave that is receding.

In the blink of an eye, not a single monster around the White Tower could be seen.

The mellow voice rang out again: "Master Fleming, give up meaningless resistance. Maybe I'll be able to spare your life. ”

The sound fell for about ten seconds, and a person appeared behind the window on the top floor of the White Tower. The man was probably in his fifties, dressed in a magnificent silver-rimmed sky-blue robe, with a jeweled forehead strap, a staff with a large sapphire on his left hand, and a strangely shaped musket in his right hand.

This person is none other than Fleming, one of the three saints of Nilogaard, the master of apothecary, the master of number theory, and the master of alchemy. Ben, he roared loudly: "Amran, you madman, the gods will punish you for your evil deeds!" ”

"Celestial? Hahaha~"

There is also a tall tower about 50 meters away from the White Tower, only slightly shorter than the White Tower, and at the top of this high tower stands a white-robed man, who is the Bishop of Amran who had to teleport and escape by Lawson's fireball technique before.

"Master Fleming, you and I both know in our hearts that there is no god in this world, let alone divine punishment. Besides, even if there is a god in this world, it is not a god, but a god of war. Whoever has the most power and can win on the battlefield will be rewarded by the god of war! Now, the Tower of Wisdom is the god of war's reward for me. ”

"Crazy! You won't get anything today! Fleming calmed down, a cold determination in his voice.

"Not necessarily." Amran laughed: "Master, today I will see if the violet enchantment of the academy is powerful, or the power of the thunder god of my church is powerful." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand lightly.

After about a few seconds, a giant monster with a body of more than 4 meters and tangled muscles came out of the monster pile, he carried a large wooden barrel weighing nearly a ton on his shoulder, rushed forward a few steps, raised his head and roared, and threw the large wooden barrel away.

The large wooden barrel flew in the air for more than 70 meters, and smashed into the purple light mask.

The moment the barrel hit the light mask, it exploded!

"Boom ~~~~~"

There was a loud thud that shook the mountain, and at the same time, there was a scorching flame as high as a small mountain, and a terrifying shock wave rushed out in all directions. This shock wave was extremely powerful, even though it was more than 60 meters away, Bishop Amran was still hit by this shock wave and took a few steps back, and the purple light mask that was directly attacked began to flicker and sway violently, and when the barrier finally calmed down, the light mask was at least half as bright as before.

"Hahaha~ Master Fleming, your violet enchantment doesn't seem to be as strong as the legend says."

Fleming's face was pale, he knew very well in his heart that the violet enchantment could block the attack of monsters, but it could not block the bombardment of Thor's power, which had been verified on the violet barrier in the outer layer of the inner courtyard, and as long as there were three similar bomb attacks, the violet enchantment would be broken.

He looked at the white-robed man in the distance, and then looked down at the monsters that surrounded the white tower, and sighed in his heart: "It's over, it's completely over." ”

Bishop Amran waved his hand again.

The second barrel was tossed by the troll.

"Boom~~~"

With a loud bang, the violet barrier became vague and almost disappeared. This time, the enchantment didn't even block all the shock waves, and the white tower inside the enchantment, the body of the tower trembled slightly, and it seemed that it also felt fear.

It was very obvious that if Amran threw another barrel filled with Thor's power potion, the violet barrier would be breached, and even the Tower of Wisdom would be destroyed at the same time.

The Tower of Wisdom is the most valuable building of the Nilogard Academy, which treasures the crystallization of the wisdom of the masters of the past, as long as the Tower of Wisdom does not fall, even if all the magicians in the entire academy die, the Nilogard Academy will surely rise again. But if the Tower of Wisdom is gone, the academy will turn into dust of history tonight!

"Roar~~"

The troll in the distance roared and lifted the third large barrel.

Before the troll threw the barrel, Amran spoke again: "Master Fleming, surrender." As long as you abandon this tower, I can guarantee that you will get out of here safely. ”

Unexpectedly, Fleming shook his head firmly: "Amran, I said that tonight, you are destined to get nothing!" This tower will be reduced to ashes with me! ”

As he spoke, the sapphire at the tip of the staff in Fleming's hand emitted a rich white light.

He had planted a large amount of explosive potion in the Tower of Wisdom, which he had obtained from an unknown alchemist, and was a hundred times more powerful than the Thunder Power Potion, enough to turn the Tower of Wisdom to ashes in an instant.

Unfortunately, they had only been given the potion for a short time, as the musket technology developed by the explosive agent was not yet mature. Otherwise, even if the great magicians of the academy are basically absent, no matter how many monsters there are tonight, they may not be able to break through the academy.

"Hey~ It's a pity." Fleming prepares to ignite the explosives and die with the Tower of Wisdom.

Amran saw that something was wrong, and immediately waved his hand at the troll: "Throw it out!" ”

The troll roared, gesturing, ready to throw the third barrel out.

At this moment, in the darkness, out of nowhere, a blazing fireball appeared, this fireball was more than half a meter in diameter, emitting a white blazing light, it rushed straight into the monster group like a meteor, and then exploded.

"Boom Boom~~~~"

The fireball exploded, and the thunder power barrel was also instantly detonated by the fireball, and the movements after the double explosion were superimposed, and the power was simply earth-shattering! The flames were fifty or sixty meters high, and the texture of the flames was so solid that it looked like tumbling lava!

This flame was like a fire of destruction erupting from hell, countless monsters were burned to ashes in an instant, and the tower where Bishop Amran stood was also engulfed by the 'Flame Demon'. The shock wave generated by the violent explosion directly overturned the surrounding buildings to the ground, and the Tower of Wisdom, which was more than sixty meters away from the center of the explosion, was also hit hard by the shock wave, but fortunately, it was guarded by the Violet Enchantment, and the Enchantment was broken, but the Tower of Wisdom was not damaged.

The flames raged for a full dozen seconds before they slowly extinguished, and at this time, the number of monsters was at least a quarter less, three towers in the inner courtyard fell, the inner courtyard was almost in ruins, and the white-robed Lord Amran disappeared.

"What's this...... What's the situation? Master Fleming was stunned, not knowing what was happening.

The monsters near the Tower of Wisdom were also full of terror, no one knew what had just happened, but the terrifying flames of destruction scared them away, even if they were all used for their strong bodies, but in the face of such terrifying flames, they only held on for a moment more than ordinary people.

Just when everyone was in doubt, in the ruins next to the place where the troll stood, several boulders exploded, and a ray of golden light appeared in the night sky, and within the golden light, stood a white-robed man, who was none other than Bishop Amran.

He looked a little embarrassed, his white robe was covered with scorch marks, and his hood was burned in half, revealing a small half of his face, and he could be seen to have a strand of silver-white hair.

"cough~cough~"

Amran coughed lightly a few times, and said sharply into the darkness somewhere behind him: "Lawson, I didn't expect you to come so quickly!" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill your woman?! ”

"Lawson? Who is Lawson? Fleming paused for a moment, and followed Amran's gaze.

The monsters also looked into the dark corners, and many monsters who were good at stealth disappeared into the darkness at the first time, ready to eliminate this inexplicable spoiler.

There was silence in a dark corner, nothing, and no one appeared.

Bishop Amran gritted his teeth and said, "Don't come out? Very good, guys, the barrier of the Tower of Wisdom is gone, rush over and destroy this damn cage! ”

"Roar~"

"Howl~"

The monsters roared and roared as they began to rush towards the Tower of Wisdom.

Seeing that the monster was about to storm the Tower of Wisdom, Fleming temporarily put aside the idea of destroying the Tower. He knew that he might have come to reinforcements, and whenever there was a glimmer of opportunity, he didn't want to burn everything.

"If you want to enter the tower, don't think about it!"

Blue rays shot out of the staff in Fleming's left hand, and the musket in his right hand exploded repeatedly.

Whether it is a ray or a musket, it is very powerful, and those monsters that were hit were not dead or disabled, and for a while, a large number of monsters fell on the road to the Tower of Wisdom.

It's a pity that there are too many monsters, although hundreds of them have just been blown up, there are still seven or eight hundred left, and there are many powerful high-level monsters among them.

These monsters were very clever, and they figured out Fleming's attack and began to dodge it regularly.

As a result, despite Fleming's best efforts, his lethal effect was still inevitably greatly reduced, and more and more monsters slipped through the net.

Seeing that the first monsters were about to storm the gates of the Tower of Wisdom, Fleming yelled, "Man, don't hide, if you are really a friend of the Academy, come out and help!" ”

As soon as he shouted, the monsters were stunned, and their charging steps paused, and they all looked behind them, for fear that another fireball would rush out of the dark corner.

Bishop Amran was also shocked, and his eyes looked left and right.

Seriously, he looks calm now, but he's actually very anxious because he can't find a way to crack Lawson's fireball tactics.

After waiting for a few seconds, no fireball appeared, and the academy was still quiet, and the earth-shattering fireball that appeared just now seemed to be an illusion.

Bishop Amran suddenly laughed: "Haha, his handle is in my hand!" He's scared! Guys, don't worry! ”

He also thought of one point, that is, the protective barrier of the Tower of Wisdom was gone, and the power of the fireball was very huge, and it was very easy to cause accidental damage, unless that Lawson wanted to destroy the Tower of Wisdom together, otherwise, he would never release the fireball spell near the Tower of Wisdom.

Thinking of this, Bishop Amran was reassured, and in order to protect himself, he himself leaned towards the Tower of Wisdom.

The monsters settled down, turned and continued to charge towards the tower.

Soon, the first wave of monsters was less than 10 meters away from the tower, and they were about to rush into the tower.

At this moment, a silver glow suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the Tower of Wisdom, and in the light, a white light flew out, hitting a ghoul who rushed to the front.

'Click, Click, Click~'

The ghoul was immediately covered with frost, and his whole body seemed to be frozen into stiff ice, and the original high-speed forward action suddenly stopped, like a large lump of ice sculpture, and after rolling on the ground several times in a row, it actually cracked into several pieces.

It's a scary scene.

The monsters looked towards the gate of the Tower of Wisdom and saw a young man standing in the doorway, this young man was surrounded by a silver shield of light, holding a musket in his hand, and around his body, there was a floating ice spear that emitted a white cold air.

It was Rosen who came to relieve the siege.

Rosen looked at Bishop Amran: "Amran, let these things go back and forth from where, otherwise ......"

Bishop Amran's heart struck: "What else? Do you think you can protect this tower with your own strength?! ”

Rosen smiled: "I can't protect it." But I can kill you! ”

Amran's expression froze, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said, "Young man, you have been used!" You have no idea what is hidden in this tower? Let me tell you, this tower ~ this academy ~~~ is the embodiment of greed and arrogance. For the benefit of a few, it monopolized the power of the gods, leaving countless mortals to live in misery! And what I want to do is to unleash this stolen divine power for the benefit of countless mortals! ”

These words were completely confusing, and Rosen also heard them inexplicably: "Stolen divine power? What the hell are you talking about, Amran? ”

"Hehe, I know this is unbelievable, and for a while, I can't explain it clearly, and you may not believe me. However, you can ask the alchemist in the tower behind you and see what he has to say?! ”

Rosen turned his head to look at the spire of the Tower of Wisdom, and he clearly saw that in the window of the spire, the expression on Master Fleming's face was very strange, his eyes flickered, angry, and seemed to have a little weakness.

Rosen had a trace of doubt in his heart, and he asked in a loud voice, "Master Fleming, what the hell is going on?" ”

Fleming immediately said: "Young man, don't believe him, he's lying!" Think about it, how could a mortal steal the power of the gods? If this can really be done, how can the academy not be able to stop the invasion of these monsters? ”

"Hahaha~~"

Amran laughed loudly: "Fleming, by this time, you are still lying!" Let me ask you to explain, from ancient times to the present, why the number of real great magicians in the world has always been only 3?! Why do these archmages only appear in Nilogaard all the time?! And why, Niya, a mortal, can have the power to predict the future?! ”
