315 Operation Imperial Capital(4)
Looking at Merlin's expression on the other side, the emotions of Kerst and Feida calmed down at once.
In this Star Tower, there is definitely a special magic array, whether it is the sound of the dragon chanting in the sky above the Red Fort just now, or the loud sound of various magic explosions, there is no response in this Star Tower.
"Smack!" Koster turned his head suddenly, and an invisible force field appeared in front of him, and Koster's Heartbroken Longsword and Feida's Elven Blade and Elven Bow seemed to be grabbed by the invisible force and thrown to the wall.
"This!" Kerst and Fayda were shocked, they hadn't seen Merlin move at all, and his magic spell didn't seem to need to be recited.
Merlin's expression didn't change, "Koster, Feda, I know why you're here. I took your weapons to make sure you could listen to me quietly, and I wanted to tell you a story first. ”
Chester and Feida lost their weapons, so naturally they didn't dare to attack easily. There is only one chance to make a move, so let's decide to listen to what the other party has to say first.
Merlin's story takes place more than a thousand years ago.
It is well known that the appearance of magicians is rather random and accidental.
Magical elements should always exist in the world, and by chance, someone sensed the existence of magical elements, so with their research, the first batch of magicians appeared on the continent.
Powerful magic immediately became the top power of this continent, and those who possessed magic formed an alliance. As more and more magic appeared, so did the ranks of magicians, eventually establishing a powerful magical empire on the continent.
And Merlin's story begins with the penultimate archon of the Magic Empire.
In the later stages of the Magic Empire, the study of magical power reached a level of madness and obsession, and they advanced their understanding of the independent magical elements that they had previously known to be to the stage of the magical force field. At that time, they believed that all the magical elements in the world existed in a complete magical network.
According to the theory of the Magic Empire, if there is a suitable magic spell and enough strong spiritual power, theoretically, the person at the center of the magic force field can mobilize the magic power of the entire continent. If this magical power can be realized, then this magician is basically close to the existence of a god.
The penultimate archon of the Magic Empire was the first human to have this idea. At his behest, the scientific research institutes led by the great scientists of the empire spent decades studying the possibility of realizing this reality.
In the end, the only problem they faced was that the magic force field was too large, and even a mage of the level of the Grand Archon of the Magic Empire would be impossible to mobilize.
But smart people will always exist, and in order to achieve this goal, the magic tower came into being. The great science officer of that year came up with the idea by genius. Use the magic tower as a node for the magic force field, and transform the original vast magic force field into an energy network filled with the magic tower.
Through the central control tower, the caster can transfer his magic to any place on the continent where there is a magic tower, and at the same time can mobilize the magic elements inside the full field.
It can be said that the first group of people, their idea was still to study how to expand the power of magic, but this is not so simple to do.
In the later stages of the Magic Empire, a large amount of manpower and material resources were invested in the construction of magic towers all over the country. The effectiveness of the Tower in the Magic Force Field varies depending on the size of the Tower.
At that time, the magic towers built by the Magic Empire were not as simple as those built by the new Magic Empire recently. It can be said that every magic tower at that time was a high-quality product, and it cost countless people and property. The magic spar smashed into it like no money, and there was no splash.
This has been going on for twenty years, and the archons of the Magic Empire have not waited for the day when the magical network will take shape.
Hearing this, Kester and Feida were quite puzzled, the new magic empire only took a year to build magic towers all over the continent, why did it take them twenty years back then?
As if to answer their doubts, Merlin continued.
"Of course, the magic tower they had back then was certainly not comparable to the magic tower toys we built now. The amount they spend on one tower is almost as much as the cost of a hundred of our towers. ”
Everything must be balanced, and even a supernation as rich as the Magic Empire cannot stop this historical law.
The frenzied construction of the Magic Tower gradually affected the balance within the Magic Empire. A large amount of money was spent, and in order to guarantee income, the Magic Empire began to plunder the wealth of the commoners and aliens. The archons began to turn a deaf ear to the opposition that appeared within the Magic Empire, and later, even the opponents were sentenced, and the construction of the magic tower became a rebellion for the archons, and no one could say that it was wrong.
Eventually, by the time of the last archon of the Magic Empire, the commoners, aliens, and opponents within the Magic Empire, who could no longer bear it, finally formed an uprising coalition to stop this seemingly never-ending folly.
The Magic Tower was toppled, the Archon's supporters were killed, and the Magic Empire fell.
"This is the sad history of the Magic Empire, a class with supreme pursuit of magic, and everyone who has been opposed to it because it has offended the interests of other classes. Not to mention, for a natural magic controller like the dragons, a magician with a magic tower is a great threat to them. Merlin sighed.
And his words made Kerst and Feida quite puzzled, "I'm afraid this person is crazy!" This is all the feelings in the hearts of the two.
"So, you're going to finish the unfinished business of the Magic Empire?" asked Kester.
Merlin replied with a smile, "At the beginning, my Dark Rising organization was just to fulfill the will of the organization's founders and overthrow the royal family of the San Jose Empire. But when I was growing up, I accidentally came into contact with the historical materials of the Magic Empire, which gradually made me identify with their goals and ideas. You're not magicians, and you can't understand how I feel.
Magic is the noblest and most wonderful thing in the world, and it deserves to be held up by mortals, not like the royal family of San Jose, who treats magicians as playthings!"
Speaking of this, a trace of anger actually appeared on Merlin's face, it seemed that he had been very angry in the San Jose royal family before.
"So that's why you've restored the Magic Empire?" asked Kerst in a deep voice.
"So is this the reason why you have killed countless civilians, subverted several countries, provoked regime changes on the mainland, and caused wars?"
There was anger in Koster's tone.
"No", Merlin smiled wickedly, "someone like Emperor Desik, if it weren't for the desire in his heart, how could he be persuaded by me." I'm just taking advantage of his heart's greatest desires. But make no mistake, desire is his own. ”
"What about San Jose?" asked Felda as well.
"That stupid emperor should have died a long time ago. And you must not forget that the ancestors of the San Jose royal family, the scholars of the coalition, they are the main culprits in the demise of the Magic Empire, and they should have died a long time ago. ”
Merlin's words made Kerst and Ferda finally abandon a glimmer of illusion that the man had been completely consumed by the greed of magic. Only by freeing him from the magical ocean can there be any possibility of restoring order on the continent.
Kester secretly glanced at Feda, Merlin had said so much, and he had heard so much. Kaka was still fighting countless magicians and palace guards outside, and he couldn't go on like this.
Feida looked up and saw that his war blade and elven bow were bound to the ground not far away under the influence of magic. Secretly clenched his fists, fortunately, Merlin had not restricted his freedom.
"Don't try to kill me. First, you can't kill me, and second, even if you can kill me, my will has already been inherited by my magicians, and even if my Merlin dies, countless Merlins will stand up. As if seeing through the thoughts of the two at a glance, Merlin said slowly.
And Koster looked quite disapproving, "Don't be kidding, you kind of madman, except for a few followers, who is not for the rest of the power, get rid of you, we have hope!"
Merlin continued to laugh, "Then let me see how you can kill me, with the skills that the dragons have given you? Those insects, their magic seems to be tall, but isn't it actually magic? Since it is magic, can they resist the entire magic force field?"
As the words fell, I saw a strange blue light flash in Merlin's eyes, and his hands slowly raised from his side.
"What is this!" Kerst and Ferda were shocked!
The guards of the Magic Empire's palace and the magicians who were fighting the golden dragon in the Red Keep suddenly stopped their movements in surprise. Including the archon Elby, he looked at the vision of the largest magic tower in front of the Red Keep in confusion.
The magic elements gathered violently and violently in the sky above the magic tower, ordinary people could not see the magic elements, and a magician of Elby's level could naturally feel it. You can also feel all the other magicians present, as well as Kaka!
The soldiers couldn't see the magic element, they only felt a powerful pressure in the air, making everyone want to kneel on the ground, the feeling of being a god in the world, not something ordinary soldiers could resist.
"Merlin has used a magic field?" Elby shouted in shock, and at this point, he didn't even care about being called an archon. According to their original plan, the magic towers they had built were only experimental, and they had no immediate plans to use them.
"Come with me!" Elby beckoned to his magicians and prepared to head to Merlin's Star Tower, where Merlin was, to see what was going on.
In addition to Elby, there was another person, no, another dragon, Kaka. The huge golden dragon body suddenly blocked in front of Elby, making Elby's heart tremble.
And inside the Tower of the Stars, Merlin's whole body had begun to glow with blue light, like thunder and lightning, and every word seemed to be like thunder: "You, you will have the privilege of seeing the greatest side of magic, please, mortal." ”
