Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fall of the Mage's Tower

As soon as the enemy in front of him disappeared, Queai immediately ran to Fern to heal his wounds, and a soft pale yellow light shrouded the mercenary's chest, causing his brow to furnish.

Fern looked at the unmoved Great Sage and stopped talking. Etiyesh saw what was in his mind and said unhurriedly, "They are gone and will not come back." ”

Quiai had finished his treatment and put down his hand to stand beside the mercenary, Fern looked at the Great Sage, "It seems that you are not in a hurry at all, since that staff is so important, you can still maintain this composure, even the Great Sage is a little too exaggerated, right?"

Etiyesh slowly turned to the mercenaries. "What do you want to say?"

Fern touched his chest, where he no longer felt any pain. "That staff is fake, isn't it?"

"Nope. Etiyesh looked ahead again. "A fake staff can't fool the astrologer at all, she already covets it. ”

The Great Sage's answer was completely unexpected. "Then why are you...... Is it really to save us?"

"It's not ......" Etiyesh stopped, his hands slowly raised, not knowing what he was muttering, and Fern and Queai could only look at him suspiciously.

When the Great Sage's lips stopped, the room was silent for a few seconds, but Quiai felt an extremely powerful magic appear in the middle of the room out of thin air. She had never encountered such a powerful force, and she was even worried that the Mage Tower would not be able to withstand this force and collapse.

Just as Quiai was about to warn Fern, a golden light shot into the room through the skylight on the roof, straight in front of Etiyesh, and a male figure holding a staff appeared in the light.

"It's!" Quiai couldn't believe his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise. "God of Light!"

"God of Light?" Even Ferne, who had no idea what Quiai meant, was shocked at the moment.

The male in the light was surrounded by a strong golden light, and he could only see a vague figure, but he couldn't see his face clearly, and his voice was majestic and majestic. "Ruler of the Mage's Tower, Great Sage Etiyès, I have been summoned by you, and now tell me your appeal. ”

Etiyesh raised his head, even the great sage of Wallis was nothing more than an ordinary mortal in front of the god of light. "Guardian of Light, Terminator of Shadows, Heimdall, God of Light, the Mage Tower is in danger, and as the ruler of the Mage Tower, I need to give the Guardian Staff to the Mage in front of me before the Mage Tower falls, so that she can take the Staff out and continue our hope. ”

Quiai and Fern looked at each other for no apparent reason, as if they heard a sigh in the light, but they couldn't be sure.

The voice of the god of light came again. "I've had a hunch of today ever since Adeline summoned me out in the North, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

"Yes, God of Light, the Dark Lord's cunning is beyond our expectations, but I am ready to slow down the Dark Tide's advance and give Wallis a moment of respite. The Great Sage's expression became resolute.

"That's good, Etiyès, but will the people of Wallis remember you, and will your sacrifice get you the end you want?" said the God of Light slowly, his tone unconsciously calming, as if the dark tide that filled the mage's tower no longer existed.

Etiyesh's eyebrows furrowed. "As a great sage, my mission is to protect Wallis, and it is beyond my control whether my methods are understood or not, and I only hope that these juniors will pass on my legacy. ”

The god of light was silent for a few seconds. "Well, since you've made up your mind, do as you wish. The man in the light stretched out his right hand forward, and the staff in his hand slowly floated towards Etiyès.

Etiyesh gently caught the staff. "Thank you for your trust, God of Light, I have one last request. ”

"Say it. The god of light withdrew his hand and hung it at his side.

Etiyesh held the staff in one hand and stood on his right side, the staff half a head above him. "Adeline is dead, the Mage Tower is about to fall, and the place where you were summoned no longer exists, so it would be a blessing for Wallis if you could still show up to guide these juniors in times of crisis in the future. ”

The figure of the god of light fluttered in the air. "Wallis's future is in the hands of the people who live above it, it's not for me to decide, but ......" the light is dimming. "After all, the Dark Lord is inclined to the Shadows, and I have my own decision. ”

"Thank you very much, God of Light. Etiyesh bowed respectfully.

The light vanished at breakneck speed, leaving only the mercenaries and mages with shocked faces on their faces.

Etiyesh turned and stood in front of Quiai. "This is the Staff of the Guardian, Quiai, and is now in your custody to protect it and make sure it doesn't fall into the hands of the Darktide. ”

Quiai looked at the staff in front of her, nervous and could barely breathe, she slowly stretched out her hands and took the staff from the hands of the great sage, as if she had taken over the whole world, and the girl carefully held the staff in her hand. "I ...... I...... I will definitely protect it with my life. ”

Etiyesh nodded. "Very good, Quiai, I'm sure you can do it, now ......"

"Wait a minute, Etiyès!" Fern snapped in. "Didn't you say that the staff that Karina took wasn't fake?

Etiyesh glanced at Fern, as if he was a little upset that he had interrupted him. "Both staffs are real, but only this one can be called a Guardian's Staff, as it is protected by the God of Light. The Great Sage's speech quickened. "Both the staff and this staff that Karina took have the qualities of becoming a staff of guardians, but without the protection of the god of light, it can only be regarded as a relatively powerful magic weapon. ”

"I see. Fern nodded in realization.

"Alright, there's no time, it's time for you to leave. Etiyesh folded his hands around his chest.

"No, Etiyès, there must be a way, there must be a way to save the Mage's Tower!" shouted Quiai, plucking up his courage.

Etiyesh calmly looked at the two in front of him. "This is not the end, Quiai, but a new beginning, the beginning of your creation of the future, a task that is more difficult than mine. ”

"Passing on the light, even if there is only a glimmer of light left, we can't give up hope. The voice of the Great Sage echoed in his head. Quiai couldn't stop crying, Fern held her tightly in his arms, the white light enveloping the two of them, and through the more and more shining light, the calm face of the great sage gradually faded.

Only the lonely figure of the great sage was left in the room, and the old man slowly raised his head to look at the skylight, and the purple-red mist filled the sky. "The saga of the Mage's Tower is over, but its successor remains, and hope remains. Goodbye, the legend of Wallis. ”

The Great Sage raised his hands above his head, and his passionate voice surrounded the room, as if he were singing a majestic war song. Intense light emanated from the Great Sage, filling the room in an instant, and then breaking through the white marble walls and filling every corner of the Mage Tower like a flood. The dark tide inside the tower howled in fear, and the moment it was touched by the light, it was gone.

The light burst out of the Mage's Tower, piercing the purple-red mist that hung over Lot, and the whole of Lot was once again shrouded in a golden light. On the streets, on the rooftops, in the houses, everywhere the dark tide has nowhere to escape in the light, and it disappears in the bright light.

Fern and Quiai stood on the plain a mile away, the towering spire of the mage tower in front of them fell from the sky, and pieces of shining marble continued to peel off from the tower, but in the blink of an eye, the indestructible white tower collapsed, and the majestic mage tower could no longer be seen on the empty plain, and all that remained was the dust that stirred up.

The golden light faded, everything fell silent again, Fern's mind went blank, and Queai was already in tears.
