Ordinary people often use their minds to contemplate the habits and hobbies of the casters. But in fact, almost every spellcaster, including some priests who seem to be full of flowers, is a pragmatist in the truest sense of the word. They would love the fine tapestries, the ornate silver pots, the intricate carvings and statues, but beyond the ordinary, they demanded not only their beauty but also their utility, like the metal golems in front of the rime huts of Master Alva, who, when they were at rest, marveled at their lifelike and ingenious workmanship—even in their own courtyards and foyers, where one or two masterpieces of alabaster and bronze always stood - The people of Cape Fortress have always had a fanatical attitude towards beauty, and although Mage Alva is said to be an outsider who has lived here for a long time and has attained supreme status, he has also been tainted with some of their habits, but Mage Alva will not just put two sculptures of snake people in the foyer, as one of the most important locations of a building, it would be a pity if this place was only for viewing and changing clothes.
And in his halls, as we've described, almost everything has the potential to inflict lethal damage on the mage's enemies, and the rime hut is just a place for mage Alva to entertain and rest, not his tower.
Before leaving the White Tower, Mage Antonio had already anticipated that his tower would be used by others, probably the enemies of the inhabitants and elves of the White Tower, the unscrupulous thieves, and he resolutely destroyed his own golem, the magic traps and laboratories in the tower. The study was emptied, and some of the huge equipment that could not be taken away was also corroded by the spells he cast, except for some things that he could not destroy and take away in a short time, such as his summoning room, in order to prevent an evil thing from accidentally summoned by him from breaking through the ban, the entire room was not only placed at the bottom of the tower. Layers upon layers of restrictions and shackles were cast and placed - if it weren't for the reappearance of the silver golem from the millennium before the catastrophe in the hands of the dwarf McGee and the lich, it might have taken a lot of effort for them to get Berdwin out, but this is a special room after all, and the other rooms can only be said to be slightly more dangerous than ordinary people's bedrooms.
Below them may be the room of a mage's disciple, who may have left in a more hurried manner than his teacher, his copying desk still half-rolled with a piece of parchment, dusty, and inkwells toppling and contaminating the paper. The pen had fallen under the table, but the two steel rulers on the writing table had been removed from it, and had probably now become a thief's finger knife or dagger, and his bed had been laid, without a curtain (I don't know if it had been taken or if it had not been there), but the pillows and sheets, and the blankets had been kept when they fell. Berdwin landed on the side of the single bed, and the whole bed flipped over with a thud. The former paladin fell to the ground in disgrace, the dwarf followed, and he deftly curled up his body like a rolling ball over the side of Memi's robe, and the thief Glenn landed on the other side of the bed like a big cat, his hand resting on his own adamantite dagger. As the dwarf McGee struggled to stand up, he toe him aside.
If McGee had been a dwarf, he would have been furious by the thief's rude behavior, and would have to use his sledgehammer to beat Glenn's head as a chopping board, but McGee was still a dwarf after all. Gülen's actions only made his face briefly gloomy in the darkness, but he only stayed in the same place, that is, the place designated by the thieves, and did not move at all, but Gülen did not intend to let this already shabby enough squad cause more changes due to some inappropriate actions, he flipped the adamantite dagger, and the adamantite would have emitted a soft silver-blue glow in the dark, for which the thieves asked the gnomes to plate a layer of black substance on the adamantite, so that his sneak attack and stealth would not become a big joke worthy of a hundred years in the thieves' group, but in the position of the handshake, he left a thin line untreated, like nowIn a darkness where even the slightest glimmer of light was hard to find, he didn't need to light a candle or open the curtains to let his companions see what he wanted them to see.
It was only for a moment, but McGee and Berdwin could already see the flash of steel.
"A small device. Gülen said he had made sure the owner of the room had left: "The thieves used it to catch people who had trespassed into their rooms. "Messy, tiny jagged clips, each capable of jumping up and biting like a silent puppy, and undoubtedly soaked in feces if not covered with rust spots—and a few staggered wires that tugged at the brackets, and which could have led to a crossbow bolt or a shrill siren, but thankfully they had fallen from the roof, and the thief didn't seem to have thought that the top was also a good direction to break through, and his arrangement was almost all on the door.
Glenn quickly dismantled the device left behind by the thief, and Baldwin restored his new arm to the shape of a broadsword, using it as a shield, and gently pushed the door open—but to their surprise, the hallway and the staircase that swirled along the outer wall of the tower were empty.
"They didn't notice us?" Mmy murmured, moving her fingers to her ankles unobtrusively, twisting as she fell, and before leaving the room, she glanced at where they had landed, where there was an eerie silence like outside, "Is it Cremar?"
"Of course," said Gülen, "unless they are both deaf and blind." ”
"Up, or down?" asked Gülen.
"How?"
"There are quite a few windows in this tower. "I remember not every window was sealed with stone bricks – we might have been on the fourth floor or above, I remember only the windows below the fourth floor were sealed, and above the fourth floor, but I saw them, and they only crudely nailed the planks on the outside, and I hope the inside is the same." ”
Going down they can only encounter more and more thieves, and going up. Of course, there will be, but as long as it is cleaned up, there is no need to worry about rapid growth, as long as the window can be opened, Mei Mi unconsciously glanced at Birdwin, she, Glenn, and the dwarf are fine, but the windows on the mage tower will not be used for archery. But it won't be huge, and what they have to worry about is whether or not Berdwin will be able to get out at that time.
"Let's go up. Berdwin said.
The room where Berdwin was held was at the lowest level of the tower, they were supposed to escape from the first floor of the tower, but it was also the most heavily defended place, and the teleportation was clearly constrained and disordered here, Cremar cast a spell, and the raging flames sent them to a certain level of the tower, the exact layer was unknown, and Baldwin had no way of knowing if the caster had expected this. They rolled out of a burning hearth, their enemies close behind - now both warlocks were held back by Kremard, but the thieves, even though they were afraid of the scrolls and gnome rune seals in Memmie's hands, and perhaps Berdwin's broadsword and Glenn's dagger - but like hyenas besieging lions, you could always see their towering ears in the shadows of the grass and trees, even if they didn't dare to come forward.
Silence does not necessarily mean safety, they are greeted not only by fresh air and blue sky. There were also crossbow arrows like a rainstorm, and Mei Mi held the scroll. This was copied by the black-haired spellcaster and the Gavin mage of the Normans of the Highlands, and it may be up to them to get out of it.
――The following items will be replaced within an hour.
Below them may have been the room of a mage disciple, who may have left in a more hurried manner than his teacher, his copying desk still half-rolled with a piece of parchment, dusty and inkwells toppling. The paper had been contaminated, and the pen had fallen under the table, but the two stainless steel rulers on the writing desk had been dismantled and removed, and had probably now been turned into a thief's finger knife or dagger, and his bed had been laid. There were no curtains (I don't know if they were taken away or not), but the pillows and sheets, and the blankets were kept, and when they fell, Berdwin landed on one side of the single bed, and the whole bed flipped over with a thud, and the former paladin fell to the ground with a disgraced face, and the dwarf followed, and he deftly rolled his body into a ball that rolled over Memie's robe like a rolling ball, and Glenn the Thief landed on the other side of the bed like a big cat, his hand resting on his own adamantite dagger, and picking him aside on the tip of his toe as the dwarf McGee tried to stand up。
