Chapter 779: Prison
While Elder Kyle was looking for a way out of his predicament, Dinah was hurrying around the tower.
At this time, there was still a whistling sound in the tower, which was obviously an alarm after the "defense mode" was turned on. The mages and apprentices who had been living in the tower were alarmed, and Dinah could see the bewildered faces as he ran all the way up the tower floor—but he didn't care about the emotions of these people, as he first had to explain to the other arcanists what was happening.
The control core of the Tower is located at the top of the Tower, but the top floor is forbidden to them, and that is an area that only Dominic is eligible to enter. And Dai Dai, as the deputy, lives on the twenty-second floor below. He walked up the self-running staircase, left and right, and soon came to the conference room next to his lab.
This is where all the Arcanists meet, and when they hear the alarm, all the Arcanists will come quickly.
When he pushed the door open, Dai Na unexpectedly saw all the arcanists in the tower gathered together: there were eight Arcanists left in the Tower by Dominic, except for himself and an Arcanist named Bruce who had the strength of the "Magister" level. The strength of everyone else is below the threshold of "Magister". However, strength cannot be calculated by common sense in the magic tower - because they all wear "immunity badges", have the ability to cast spells, and are not affected by "time and space suppression".
And except for Dominic, a mage who can control the core, all other people who enter the magic tower will be limited to the strength of the "magic master".
This barrier is so powerful that no one can resist it. However, when the "Defense Mode" was activated, the Arcanists couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, and after seeing Dinah, Bruce, another deputy, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on? You opened the entrance to the magic tower?"
Dinah naturally told the truth and told everyone the news of "Elder Dominic's death" - not surprisingly, all the Arcanists' expressions changed drastically, and they all showed flustered expressions.
Bruce was slightly better and quickly reacted, "But why are you opening the door for Elder Kyle?"
He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "You're Kyle's man!?"
"Kyle put eyeliner in the tower, but it definitely won't be me. Dinah couldn't help it, he knocked on the table with his hand: "That's not the point, now that Dominic is dead, you didn't stay in this magic tower for the first day, to be honest, which of you thinks you are qualified to own this magic tower?"
Dinah is a smart person, so he understands very well what these people are thinking at this time: although the mages in the tower have their own circles, the level of all of them is not high, and they all understand that their people are still far from the qualification of "elders", and if they rashly steal the magic tower, not only will they not be able to use most of the functions of the magic tower, but the consequences will be more likely to be "guilty" - sooner or later they will be taken away by people with stronger strength.
Instead of this, it is better to hug the thighs of other elders directly, so that you can mix up a good position and enjoy good resources.
The most important thing is that as mages in the magic tower, they know better how terrifying this magic tower is far away - even after Dominic claims to "control" the magic tower, there are still more than four arcanists who have disappeared without a trace in the magic tower, and no one has died or died. Therefore, a group of their weak arcanists could not afford to have an extremely strong "fight" at all.
"Not to mention Elder Kyle's problem, just when I opened the door, Elder Aubrey also rushed over from behind, obviously preparing to enter the magic tower together to fight for control. Now they're probably all in the tower, so we'd better wait and see what the final outcome is—"
The remaining Arcanists and Bruce looked at each other, they didn't expect the situation to be so complicated, they thought that the news of "Dominic's death" was a cover, but now it seems that it is obviously not a lie, after all, there is no need for Dinah to make up a lie about the two elders fighting for the magic tower to deceive people. Obviously, the magic tower entered a "defensive state", which happened to be the right match for the competition between these two elders.
After a brief discussion, they quickly stated that whoever holds the core in the end will listen to whomever he wants.
It's also a helpless choice... As a high-level arcanist under the fence, without shelter and resource support, the result is naturally to stagnate forever. You must know that the Arcanist of the "Holy Order" is not like a magician, if it is an ordinary Magister, there is no problem for Bruce and Dinah to set up their own portals, but as an "Arcanist", he has absolutely no choice before he has the strength of an elder.
After a moment of silence, Bruce finally spoke, "... In the end, let's not mention who controls the magic tower, and now that the magic tower has entered a passive defense state, none of us can change it. You must know that the magic tower is closed in this state, and it is impossible to observe it externally now. ”
"What then? Can't we end this barrier?"
Dinah didn't know the defense mechanism of the magic tower as well as Bruce, because Dominic had always been Bruce's support when he controlled the magic tower, so everyone waited for Bruce's answer to this question.
"This enchantment was set up by the original owner of the magic tower, and the authority required to control it is something that none of the Elders of Dominica have. Bruce pointed upstairs, "When the tower is not in the owner's absence, any violent magic fluctuations near the tower will be considered a provocation, and then the barrier will be passively opened." Speaking of which, this 'enchantment' is a labyrinth of large independent 'half-planes'. I've heard Elder Dominica say... While he's there, he can manipulate traps and traps in these 'half-planes' to kill or capture any enemy that enters. But now that he's dead, these traps won't open. ”
He pointed down: "If memory serves, this 'labyrinth' also has an end, and if the enemies who enter it are lucky, they will eventually reach the 'end' - and there is a specially reinforced 'prison' on the twenty-third floor." ”
Speaking of "prison", the group of arcanists suddenly had a sudden look.
"When the time comes, all you need to do is open the 'prison' and let the elder and his team out. ”
Dinah answered, and everyone nodded silently. But someone couldn't help but mutter: "... Aren't you tired of all these tricks?"
Many arcanists responded with a few words, and they were quite puzzled by this: Isn't the protective barrier all about keeping the enemy out? Why do you deliberately put it in and spend so much money? If you want to kill it, you just have to kill it, why do you do so many twists and turns?
This is the result of different times. At the moment, these arcanists obviously didn't know that the main purpose of this defense system was to protect against the huge demon army.
Using the open magic tower as bait to lure the enemy in, hundreds of intricate "half-planes" converge in the tower, and its actual area is almost equivalent to a plain with huge strategic depth.
In other words, it's like a pitcher plant with infinite capacity, and those who covet delicious food will eventually die in the hundreds of patchwork "half-planes" in the tower, and even if they survive, they will be locked up in a huge prison for Edith to slaughter.
Dinah had a slight guess about this, but after all, he had not experienced the tide of demon armies, so he naturally couldn't imagine it. However, he was obviously satisfied with the decision at hand: "We have no other choice, but I guess it will be Elder Kyle who will come out in the end." After all, no one else in the tower could cast spells, and Elder Aubrey and his mages were probably no match for the Arcane Samurai. ”
This was obvious, and the mages looked left and right, had a rough idea, and then collectively left the conference room and walked upstairs - after all, it was their future "thighs" that appeared next in the "prison".
