Chapter 16: The Tower Looks
"I'm not respecting the old man......" Arthur didn't dare to say his true thoughts, who knows if this half-goblin will transform into a brave man and destroy him, the inheritor of the demon king.
"Don't worry, warlocks have long been part of the Overworld, no matter where the bloodline comes from, as long as we are not crazy about wanting to start another abyss invasion, we are not enemies." Melissa spoke, but there was a hint of banter in her eyes.
In her eyes, Arthur, I'm afraid that in addition to some cleverness, the warlock's blood is so weak that it is almost difficult to complete a summon, if it weren't for Arthur showing some unique wisdom, she wouldn't even pay special attention to this ordinary life.
“…… Yes, we are not enemies. Arthur sighed in his heart, if this person knew that he had awakened the demon summoning book of the demon king back then, I am afraid that he would not be so gentle with himself now.
At the moment, he is not a threat, at least Arthur does not think that he will let the big demon make any demons, and the strength and range of the summoning are currently under his control.
Even if the Demon Lord wanted to sacrifice the best beyond Arthur's limits, I am afraid that with his financial resources, it would be impossible for him to prepare such an extravagant summoning ceremony.
Arthur's family was wealthy when he arrived in Morado, and it only cost a fraction of the money to buy the mountains and land to build a house.
But as the summoning process progressed, the family's wealth was quickly depleted, and after each summon from his father, Arthur would find that his family would always have missing some of the luxuries he had seen in the past.
And the last summoning took out the house, leaving only an empty shell, and this is just to summon high-level demons, you can imagine how much the lord-level, or even demon-level demons, will have to pay.
"Excuse me, what does a wizard have to do with a warlock, and if they also use curses, does their power also come from the bloodline?" Arthur was very curious about this, and even urgent, the wizarding world was not safe, and if he wanted to farm well, he also needed some means of self-preservation.
The yeoman peasants did not have to bear the ordinary conscription, but in the event of a large-scale invasion, they had to be at the forefront to take on the battle against the foreigners.
In the past few years, the orcs in the northern cold zone have begun to frequently launch provocations against the kingdom, which is obviously not a sign that people can relax their vigilance.
There have been several battles with the orcs of the northern fur tribe, but most of them have been blocked by the northern elite of the kingdom before, and Arthur can look at the experience of war history in the two worlds, so that he can never believe that there are impenetrable fortresses and defense lines.
"Cursed? It seems that you do know a little about them, but it seems that you don't know much, and the curse of wizards does not come from blood, but from the control of negative energy. ”
Negative energy? This is an energy unique to Hell and the Abyss, and in some records, only beings in the Overworld with a high concentration of demonic bloodlines can control these energies.
But wizards can take the initiative to control, control and control are very different from the two words, and those who awaken the bloodline are like Ade, they can only passively enjoy the advantages brought by the bloodline.
Even the warlocks who use curse spells only control the energy in their bodies, activate the negative energy, and borrow the power of the abyss to trigger these negative energy to use.
The energy given by the abyss is like a sharp sword, which can cut off the hands and feet of the enemy in anyone's hand, the difference is in the degree of control you can control, and the match between you and the abyss, and in the overworld, this match is determined by the power of the bloodline.
"You're saying they can control and even change the curse, it's incredible, it's ...... Simply. Arthur couldn't find the words in this world to describe this phenomenon.
To him, this is almost as amazing as humans being able to control black holes with their bare hands, and they can also change their shape at will, and even turn black holes into another universe.
"Don't be too surprised, this is just an ordinary wizard, in the information we have obtained, only the great wizard can use the wizard tower, it is said that in each wizard tower, there is a great wizard who has studied all his life, but no one can find these hidden wizard towers, unless he himself appears in this world!" Melissa glanced out the window with interest, and in that direction was where a wizard's tower was located.
Laws, space, negative energy, and the use of many unknown energies, Arthur sighed in his heart, these wizards are like hanging up, doesn't this mean that wizards in the main world are almost invincible?
"Don't worry, wizards are not without weaknesses, at least these wizards in the town are just small characters who want to obtain the inheritance of the great wizard, the real great wizards are hidden in their own half-planes, and there is only one reason why the wizard tower appeared in the overworld, that great wizard needs to find an apprentice."
Looking for an apprentice? Arthur remembered the origin of the Tower Festival, and this kick is still a full 700 years, which is too long, right?
"Don't look at me, I can't even see the stairs, I don't have a chance." Arthur shook his head when he saw Melissa looking at him.
The picture that the Great Demon Aragorn showed him was too shocking, and it would definitely be bragging to say that he didn't care about this opportunity, but now he was wondering if he was seen through by the mysterious Archwizard, otherwise why didn't he even have a chance to climb the tower?
"Hehe, do you think those wizards who came here are still underage? Of course, I couldn't see it in the past, but this time it's a little special. Melissa didn't say any more, waving her arm slightly, and a palm faintly condensed in the air.
The palm of the hand gradually cleared as if it were an entity, and Arthur knew that this was the hand of magic, one of the basic magic of a magician, and the best magic to test a magician's ability to control the elements.
"What is this?" The magic hand flew directly to the top of the bookshelf and removed a wooden box that was already covered with dust, which looked very ordinary, but Arthur could vaguely feel a hint of familiarity leaking from it.
The wooden box was opened by the hand of magic, but Melissa didn't even touch it, and she frowned, obviously the contents of which had a disgusting feeling for her.
"Take it, this is a negative energy stone, similar to a magic stone." With that, Melissa closed the wooden box again and shoved it into Arthur's hand, and the magic hand collapsed and disappeared into thin air.
"...... this?" Arthur didn't know whether to take it or not, and as far as he knew, there were only two places where this stone was found, and that was the famous Abyss and Hell.
