Chapter 54: The Destruction of the House of Cecil (Part I) Collect
When the temple invaded "Skethity", Victor was alone in the "Celestial Observation Center" on the 60th floor of the Tower of Babel to sort out the recent observations. Due to the excellent closed nature of the Celestial Observation Center, he was ignorant of the fierce battles taking place in the outside world.
This continued until the six-ring mage Quiller Charles broke in.
"Mr. Victor, you are indeed here......"
Looking at Quyler, who looked anxious, Victor joked, "Quyler, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that Lord Felton has been asked to 'drink tea' again? ”
"It's war! Mr. Victor, the Magical Society is now at war!! ”
Quiller Charles exclaimed, "This is no joke! Just now...... The priests of the Eternal Temple have broken through the outer defenses of the Floating City, and now the whole of Skethiti is in flames!! ”
"How is that possible?"
Victor put down the quill in his hand and stood up, "The five legendary mages, and the deterrence of the Tower of Babel, how can the people of the temple invade the floating city?" ”
"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that those mage families made mistakes that caused the 'Lost Lock' to collapse. Let's not talk about that...... Lord Grant has issued a war mobilization order, ordering all mages above the middle level to immediately go to the half-plane warehouse to receive war materials and prepare for battle! ”
At this, Quiller breathed a sigh of relief.
"Due to your special status, Mr. Victor, Lord Felton personally ordered me to escort you to the 'Sanctuary', and to ensure your safety......"
Then, at Quyler's urging, Victor followed him and briskly left the room.
"Mr. Victor, please go this way...... Now that the alternate teleportation circles in the Tower of Babel have been activated, it can save a lot of time! ”
When the two of them stood on top of the teleportation circle and activated it to start teleporting, the voice of Prometheus of the Tower of Babel suddenly rang out: "Warning! The teleportation sequence has been interfered with by the spell 'Higher Dimensional Anchor', so please abort the teleportation! ”
"Not good!"
Quiller only had time to let out an exclamation when the magic light from the teleportation circle flickered.
After the teleportation was over, Quiller glanced warily ahead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Victor, we are so lucky! We were lucky to be able to get to the 'Sanctuary' despite the disruption of the teleportation sequence...... Huh? Mr. Victor? Mr. Victor!! ”
When Quiller realizes that Victor has not responded, he realizes that he has been successfully teleported...... It's all on your own.
……
"Damn it! How could my luck be so bad......"
Immediately after the teleportation was completed, Victor felt his body fall downward, and the sound of whirring wind filled his ears.
"Featherfall."
Victor, who had experienced this kind of fall in his dream, immediately cast a spell on himself.
After the operation, Victor's body slowly descended like a feather, and he had the time to observe the situation around him.
The disrupted teleportation circle randomly teleported Victor into the air to the right of the Tower of Babel, about four or five stories above the ground.
In mid-air, the view is very good.
In Victor's eyes, "Skethit" had fallen into a large-scale war, and he could clearly see that in this huge floating city, there were flashes of various spells and magic everywhere, accompanied by a huge roar!
His body fell slowly, and in the short time before Victor hit the ground, he only remembered a few areas of intense fighting.
"Try to avoid those places...... It's too dangerous for me! ”
Victor was thinking in his heart as he cautiously walked in the direction of the Tower of Babel, because for now, the Tower of Babel should be the safest place in the entire floating city.
……
The northern part of the Floating City, Sissel Manor.
When the patriarch of the Sissel family, the nine-ring mage, Astor Sisel, hurried back from the Tower of Babel, the family's residence was unusually quiet.
"Strange? Why wasn't it attacked by the temple? ”
Confused, Astor didn't think much about it and walked straight into the manor, but he couldn't see anyone in his sight.
"There's a problem!!"
As a high-ranking mage, Astor was immediately alert, and he quietly activated the magic seal, but he still couldn't contact any family members.
Just as Astor Fei retreated, a pale golden magical enchantment suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire Sissel Manor.
Seeing this scene, Astor's heart sank, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.
Astor knew that such a huge magical enchantment could not be maintained by just one person, as it required at least three or more cardinals! According to this speculation, I am afraid that the members of the Sissel mage family are more than lucky......
"My esteemed father!"
A familiar voice reached Astor's ears, and he heard the voice, only to see Werner Sissel, who was in custody, slowly walking through the corridor on the right side, surrounded by a group of black-clad men who exuded blood.
"My esteemed father...... Do you remember my words? ”
Werner Sissel's face was filled with madness, "I said it...... You'll regret it! Everyone will regret it! Now, you've seen them all? ”
"Since I have lost the right to inherit, there is no need for this family to exist......"
"My father, do you regret it?"
"Hahaha......"
Looking at Werner, who was laughing maniacally, Astor's face instantly turned old, and he didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh.
"Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak? Don't you have anything to say to me? ”
Seeing his father's dejected expression, Werner's heart welled up with a sense of pleasure after revenge.
"Your brother?"
Astor opened his mouth and spat out an unfinished sentence.
"My brother?"
Werner's expression went crazy again, and he roared nervously, "Haha? My father, at this time you are still thinking about that bastard? ”
"Okay...... I'll let you father and son see each other again! ”
As he spoke, Werner beckoned, and the man in black behind him tossed a backpack at Astor.
Staring at the blood-oozing backpack, Astor muttered to himself, "All my life, I have come and calculated for the sake of power...... But he didn't expect his son to kill each other!! What a failure......"
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
Astor looked over Werner Sissel, "You don't suggest I clean up the portal, do you?" ”
"Your Excellency, as you wish!"
An old voice replied lightly, "However, I hope this time does not pass too long......"
