1020. Bad news in the Magic Guild
The Mukuso Magic Guild is located in the College neighborhood in the northwest corner of the city, which is close to the aristocratic quarter, but belongs to the edge of the city, and the west side of the Mukuso Junior War College is only one street away from the city wall.
The Junior Academy of Magic and the Academy of Advanced Swordsmen, the City Library, and the Arena are also on this street, and further south are the magic shops, behind which the magic tower of the Magic Guild is built, and the magic tower is surrounded by a huge square.
It is located in the northwest corner of the city, at the end of the aristocratic district, and the streets are clean and tidy, with benches scattered all around, and tall hibiscus flowers bloom in the flower beds on both sides of the roadside.
It's remote and quiet, and usually only a few magicians live here.
Over time, this is the quietest place in Mukuso.
The magic tower on the square is rarely open, except for the annual magic awakening ceremony held in the magic square, and outsiders rarely come here.
The magic shops on both sides of the street were still stocked with magic goods, and the owners of the magic shops had opened their doors and put some precious goods back in the glass windows, but there was a look of worry on their faces.
There were also some people in the street who were constantly looking in the direction of the city walls, as if they wanted to know the details of the battle.
Surdak received a message from Archmage Harper, and immediately rushed to the neighborhood with a group of hoplite warriors.
It was just before dawn, and the sound of fighting could be heard clearly on the other side of the city walls.
There were no pedestrians on the street, except for the occasional squad of knights from the Guard Battalion who rode by, and they would stop as they walked and ask the shopkeepers who were open for business if they had encountered anything out of the ordinary, and they were in the city to check for people who had infiltrated the cave.
The sky was slightly bright, and there was a faint stench and blood wafting through the air.
The group came to the Magic Square, and as soon as they walked here, they saw the fountain with a faint magical atmosphere on the Magic Square.
In the center of the square is a four-storey magic tower, which is more like a four-story cake, with outer cloisters, elaborate marble columns, and beautiful relief patterns on each floor.
A semi-circular dark blue honeycomb shield encloses the four-story Magic Tower.
Surdak walked around the pool and saw Archmage Harper and Archmage Morrison standing in the light shield of the magic tower with a group of magicians.
They were kept out of the gates of the Magic Tower.
The door of this magic tower was closed, and the patterns of the magic pattern circle on it had already lit up with dazzling light under the full urging of the two second-turn archmages, but there was no sign of opening.
The entire magic tower was shielded with its defensive shield on, and Surdak stood outside the light shield and did not step in.
He stretched out a finger and tapped it at the light mask, but he didn't expect that the moment the tip of his finger touched the light mask, on this thin and transparent light mask, a hexagonal magic shield suddenly rippled up, spreading out like ripples on the water, and Surdak's finger was bounced back with the same force.
No one can get close to the magic tower unless the circle in the magic tower is closed.
The magicians standing in the mask must have some unique way to get into this mask.
The magicians standing behind the two archmages were silent, and when some magicians saw Surdak and a group of heavily armored infantry warriors stopped outside the light mask, they turned around and walked out of the magic light mask, and said to Surdak outside the light mask: "Commander Surdak, please be patient, Teacher Morrison and Teacher Harper are cracking the magic lock on the door of the magic tower. ”
Surdak nodded, and although there was a lot of work to be done outside, he still waited patiently outside the mask.
When he saw the solemn expressions of Morrison and Harper, he vaguely guessed that the situation inside should be terrible.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the door of the magic tower suddenly erupted with a scorching light......
Archmage Harper and Archmage Morrison were both bounced away by this magical light, and if it weren't for the mages behind them to be prepared and hold the two in time, it is estimated that the two mages would definitely fall on their backs......
Then the dazzling light on the magic gate disappeared little by little, and the gate finally lost the shackles of magic.
After the last bit of light, Archmage Morrison stepped up again, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and the first door of the magic tower was pushed open by Archmage Morrison.
The four magicians were the first to enter the magic tower with a magic shield on their heads.
At this time, Archmage Morrison saw Surdak outside the protective shield, and he and Archmage Harper came up at the same time.
"I'm sorry to bother you when you're so busy, but the situation here is very bad, and we need your help......" Archmage Morrison said politely.
In his eyes, Surdak belonged to the second-rank powerhouse of the same level as him.
Therefore, when he spoke to Surdak, he was also extremely polite.
"Is there anything I can do?" Surdak hurriedly asked.
Archmage Morrison looked at the gate of the Magic Tower with some concern, and said, "Maybe something very dangerous will happen later, and I need your Holy Light Technique......"
Seeing Surdak's puzzled expression, Archmage Morrison said again: "Someone has opened the highest level of the magic tower's defense circle and locked himself in the magic tower, we can't know what happened here......"
As they spoke, they made a gap in the mask and motioned for Surdak to come in.
Surdak burrowed into the magic shield between the cracks that the two archmages had opened together.
Surdak followed Archmage Morrison to the gate of the Magic Tower and stepped inside......
The hall on the first floor was very messy, there were traces of a fight everywhere, there were many traces of explosions in the hall, there were some shallow pits and cracks on the ground, a lot of blood stains had dried up, some tables and chairs had become fragments, parchment was scattered all over the floor, and there were even burning burn marks in the corners of the hall.
The main body of this magic tower is made of rocks, so the fire did not spread.
There were no corpses of the magicians in sight, and the magicians in front had already walked up to the second floor.
Surdak followed Archmage Morrison up the bloodstained staircase, and Archmage Harper held a crystal ball with a solemn expression.
"They fought on the first floor, and soon the magician on the first floor couldn't stop them, and everyone walked down the stairs to the second floor, where someone fell, and the shadow magic element was very strong here...... Supposed to be a member of the Dark Arts Retreat. ”
Ascending to the second floor, just at the corner on the left side of the staircase lay the corpse of a magician, seeing that the left shoulder and arm of his body had been burned and corroded to the point that only white bones remained, and most of his body was rotten, emitting a foul smell, and he was holding a half-broken wand in his hand, and the precious magic belt bag on his waist had not been taken away......
Passing through the corridor on the second floor, the left and right sides of the corridor are a number of magic laboratories.
I saw some magic apprentices and magicians lying in pools of blood, blood stains already clumped on the floor, and some magic laboratories were also open, and there were traces left by the explosion of fireballs everywhere.
The wounds on the bodies of these magicians are basically wounds caused by black magic, and there are serious signs of corrosion on the wounds.
There are also some corpses of black mages in the corridor, as well as the remains of some hellhounds, which have been repelled by the laws of the world after death, and have accelerated their decay, leaving only some charred bones left.
"Those black mages are very strong, there should be a magisture level big man......"
Archmage Harper held the crystal ball and said to Archmage Morrison as he walked.
Walking up the third floor, the more obvious the marks of the fight, the walls were littered with marks of claws, some magicians were scratched to the stomach, and the corpses were divided into two sections.
But it shouldn't be a hellhound, and hellhounds can't deal with magicians.
The magician didn't seem to have a chance to resist, so he was attacked and killed.
Archmage Morrison picked up a fragment of a magic scroll from the ground and said to Archmage Harper, "What kind of attack can ignore a magic shield?" ”
Archmage Harper shook his head.
The belongings of these magicians have not been taken......
There are traces of widespread burning in the corridor on the third floor, and it can be seen that a wall of fire has been used to block the enemy, but it seems that the mages' defenses have not had any effect.
This magic tower has only four floors.
The Magic Guild usually has the most important magic storage room on the top floor, and the president of the Magic Guild usually keeps office on the top floor.
But now, the fourth layer is still full of chaotic magical elements, and it is as if an elemental storm has just occurred.
There were traces of violent explosions everywhere, the corpses of the magicians were barely visible, the purple blood on the ground was pouring out of a room, and Archmage Morrison stood at the door of the room and did not walk in.
"This is supposed to be a magic item showroom......"
As he spoke, a magical glimmer appeared in his hand, and he controlled the magic glimmer to fly into the room.
The room was littered with wreckage, countless broken fragments scattered on the ground, even the iron armor had turned into scrap metal, and the mottled walls were full of cracks from the explosion.
"It's really ruthless, using the power of the overloaded elements to completely detonate the entire room, this kind of martyrdom in the magic union, it's really been a long time since it happened!" Archmage Morrison looked at the miserable situation in the room and spoke.
He didn't walk in.
Surdak glanced inside, and saw a demon corpse lying in the center of the room, with a purple face, eyes like bells, two horns on his head, a mouthful of canine teeth inside his thick lips, and a scythe in his hand.
However, the demon's head, body, and limbs were all in pieces, as if they had been dismembered.
There were all kinds of blood stains on the ground, and Surdak felt a different aura.
The demon's head had purple blood flowing from its eyes, and the purple blood didn't even dry up.
Although the demon only had one head left, it looked as if it still had a breath, as Surdak happened to see him roll his eyes.
Surdak was startled, he drew his broadsword and was about to enter the room, but he was grabbed by the arm of Archmage Harper.
"Don't go in, the space in the room has collapsed, and the elemental storm has torn apart countless spatial rifts......"
Fearing that Surdak would not believe him, he reached out and took a dagger from his bosom and threw it into the room.
Through the glimmer of light in the room, Surdak saw that the dagger that had been thrown out had broken into several pieces inexplicably as it spun in mid-air......
Frightened, Surdak quickly retracted his foot.
"There is time to seal this place, if these spatial rifts are allowed to spread indefinitely, the dry cloth plane may completely collapse."
Archmage Morrison said to Archmage Harper worriedly.
