At night, in the camp in the wilderness, the atmosphere around the campfire is not harmonious at all, but a little-for-tat.

The son of the young nobleman stared angrily, the adventurous group hired by his father. The blow in the back of his head still makes him feel groggy to this day. However, for all kinds of people who have seen all kinds of people and encountered all kinds of dangers, this group of sophisticated adventurers simply ignored the non-threatening gaze.

But not everyone has no complaints about the current situation. The archer stirred the fire and complained, "Didn't you just say that you were going to spend the night in a covered place?" Why did you run out to camp again? ”

The leader of the warriors laughed mockingly before saying, "I won't be relieved that something like that happened and I still live in the magic tower." Whether it's to the tower owner, or to our people. ”

"Damn!" The young nobleman scolded angrily and said in a vicious tone, "If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have taken down that vicious magician. It's just a few steps away. ”

"Oh, a few steps." The warrior continued to taunt, though he didn't want to get into a bigger argument with the employer's son. Turning to the deserted forest, he asked, "According to your opinion, what are the chances of us winning just now?" Maihe. ”

The team's magician is coming out of the forest. As soon as he showed up, he heard such a question from the chief. "The right question should be how many people would have survived if we had just started fighting." ”

"Oh, what about Mehe, tell me, how many of us will survive if we fight?"

"According to my original thoughts, except for me who can escape, you should all be dead."

"The original idea?" The leader of the warriors was curious about the key words he heard. He continued to ask the magician, who was already sitting by the campfire, "And what do you think now?" ”

"The view now is that you will all die except for the possibility that I will escape." Seeing his companion's somewhat surprised look, the magician shrugged his shoulders and continued, "After all, my original plan was that once you make trouble, I will definitely run away as soon as possible. Those who don't run, of course, don't have a chance. ”

"Damn it!" It was the young nobleman again, and he complained angrily, "If you don't stop me, just let me suppress the other party and put the Demon Breaker Blade on that hateful fellow's neck, even if he is a Dharma Saint, it won't help. He can only go down to hell to pay for his sin. ”

"yes, that's right." The magician replied with some weakness, and whispered, "If you can get it around his neck." ”

The warrior leader's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the key point, and asked, "Maihe, what do you see in the core room?" ”

Tilting his head, he pondered how to organize his language. The magician said, "There are many things that are difficult to describe, but the most shocking thing is the tower master himself. Well, not the one we see, to be precise. It seems that none of you realize that what is in front of you is just a doppelganger. Normal, because I didn't see it either. ”

The explosive news still shocked the companions around the campfire. But it's normal to think about it. When guests come to visit, the residents of the tower personally greet them as a sign of goodwill, but generally the apprentices come forward.

Unless it is a friend you know, or someone of high status, it is the magician himself who welcomes you. Otherwise, whoever comes, the tower master will personally greet him, so should the magic experiment be done? Should I interrupt in the middle of reading? Being a tower owner is so cheap, so don't do it.

To put it bluntly, it's just a courtesy to show kindness. The tower owner came forward, and those who should make negotiations did the negotiations. After the negotiation, each person will do what he wants to do. If the visiting guests can't find out that the tower owner who comes forward is just a clone, naturally there is no rudeness.

Even if it is really rude, it is not uncommon for some high-ranking magic tower owners to have puppets or servants who are ordinary people come forward to receive them, and this does not violate the law that must be upheld by the mage inspectors. Moreover, because of the other party's rudeness, he made himself feel unpleasant, and if he had the ability, he hit the tower and dragged the arrogant magician out and beat him. The visiting guests really have such a ability, and they can't help but pay attention to the tower owner.

Besides, some people in his own team also came to the door with bad intentions. I really can't blame the other party for hiding in the core room. However, the well-informed warrior leader was still curious and asked, "What kind of doppelganger magic does he use?" Do you get it? Maihe. ”

"According to the tower owner, it's called three-dimensional imaging. He had a rough explanation, but I didn't understand. There is only one part of the understanding, that is, the magic is operated by relying on the magic tower, which is a kind of trap magic, and cannot be cast anywhere else. ”

The aristocratic young master, who was unwilling to become a supporting role, snorted coldly and said, "What if he deceived us with his clone, can he stop us from killing the third floor." Or maybe it's just a reason to kill us. Yes, Captain Haas. ”

In the world of life and death, not seeing through the deception means death. The adventure group and the others wanted to warn the noble young master like this, but they still looked at the man who came out from behind the young master. Count Sita's strongest blade, Richard Haas, the leader of the Thundering Lightning Legion, is an upright and powerful knight.

Although wars between states and nobles were less frequent in this era, it was not without any threats to the development of civilization. The threat of wild beasts and even demonic beasts that live in nature, as well as the uncivilized race of Homo sapiens who are accustomed to plundering others or destroying themselves, is the reason for lords everywhere to keep armed.

Some people are at odds with others, for fear that the sharp blade in their hands will turn around and hurt themselves. But there are also people who appoint talents, as long as their subordinates really have the ability, they will turn a blind eye to some small problems, close their eyes, and confuse the past. Richard Haass's shortcoming is stubbornness, but he is trustworthy in training and employing troops. This created a legion that was famous in the kingdom, and also brought prosperity to the county, fame and fortune.

And this time, in order to protect his eldest son, Count Sita still asked the legion commander to go out in person. It was impossible to bring the entire corps, but also a squadron, followed by the elite of the hundreds. As for the five-person adventure group, it is the old rivers and lakes who lead the way, and let their son see the world.

In terms of identity, of course, the leader of the warriors can't command this legion commander who is in charge of more than 3,000 people, but the noble young master can. Although not all orders will be obeyed, Richard Haas still has a lot of autonomy from the earl, but on the premise of protecting the life of his young master, he will not be so unkind as to disobey any request. Not to mention that from what he had heard, he would not refuse to punish the tower master for his evil deeds.

So when Richard Haas came forward, it meant that he was also seriously thinking about the possibility of attacking the magic tower. This kind of information has to be faced with caution by the adventurous pairs.

However, looking at the twilight of his prime, there were a few more white-haired heavy knights, but the magician said half-mockingly, half-admonishingly: "The legion commander doesn't think that he thinks of making a surprise attack and attacking the magic tower." ”

"You, betrayed our whereabouts?" With a slight chill in his voice, Richard Haas stared at the group of hired men.

The magician shrugged his shoulders and denied it, remembering the situation of the tower master he had met before.

───

Maiher Lindfryce went up to the core room on the third floor, except to see the owner of the two Great Sages' Tower, one of whom - the one he followed - disappeared like a phantom as he stepped onto the third floor.

In addition to being shocked, he also saw that the layout of this place was completely different from the core rooms of other magic towers. The biggest difference is that in addition to the energy pool standing upright in mid-air, there are more than a dozen images of water mirrors hanging in front of the console and next to the energy pool.

Most of the things in the picture are unrecognizable to the magician who comes to the scene. However, a few of them can be seen to be of the same nature as the surveillance footage seen on the first floor. It's just that the content is not the picture of the dozens of villagers breaking into the tower and then being killed, as seen before, but the picture of the companions on the first floor, after a discussion that is not considered a discussion, leaving the magic tower.

"Looks like your companion doesn't want to borrow my tower anymore." As an opening, Lin got up and bowed to his peers, saying, "First meeting, Wizard Lindfrys." I am the owner of the Tower of the Great Sage, Gabrash Lynn Tripwood. ”

Haha and returned the salute, Lindfryce did not intend to pursue the matter of welcoming the guests. Magicians, especially those who have been adventuring outside for a long time, have a common belief that no etiquette or strength is important. What kind of damn rules for magicians to greet are just to cater to the bullshit reasons of ordinary people and nobles.

He was curious about one of the water mirrors, and the map around the Tower of the Great Sage was filled with different shades of color, large and small spots of light, and moving around. "Excuse me, Your Excellency, what are these points of light?"

"Oh, that's a creature aura." Without waiting for questions, Lin Ye followed his curious peers to the map screen and continued: "It is said that it is a biological aura, but it is actually my own statement. Because I still don't know what I'm observing is based on. It could be the mana power of a magician, it could be the fighting power of a warrior, or even the spiritual power emanating from the soul. In short, the size of the light point can represent the size of the creature, and the color depth can represent the level of its energy essence. ”

Pointing to a dot of light on the screen, Lindfryss continued to ask, "What do you think that dot of light represents?" ”

Lin walked back to the console and fiddled with his own things. He replied casually, "Maybe it's the army from somewhere." It's just that I don't know what race or where it came from."

"Oh, why would Your Excellency directly assert that this is an army, not an emigrant, or a social monster?"

"Even if an emigrant hires a strong mercenary as a guard, it will inevitably include some women or children, both of whom generally do not have strong biological aura. And the lump of aura you are referring to is not tight in intensity, and it is also very average. So it is unlikely to be immigrants. As for the social type of demonic beasts, there will be no large-scale gathering of herbivorous demonic beasts in the forest. If it is a carnivorous demonic beast, it will also leave after a lot of ravaging because of the lack of food here, and it will not have this kind of behavior to stay here. And their behavior pattern should be more dispersed, so that they can increase their distribution and hunt more hungry prey. I can't think of any other possibility than the army built by the Homo sapiens race. ”

"Then you're not worried at all, the purpose of this army appearing here?"

"If they were going to say hello, they would have come to visit. If they don't alarm me, it means that they have another secret mission to do, and I can't go up and say that I have discovered your whereabouts. Anyway, this kind of person should only stay for one night temporarily, and leave the next day to carry out his own mission. If you don't leave tomorrow morning and don't inform me, you can be treated as an unfriendly villain and just killed. After all, on the mainland, the army's actions have their own rules, and trespassing into other people's territory without authorization is an act of aggression, and it is deserved to die. Not really. ”

Lin smiled kindly. But it made Maiher Lindfrys's scalp tingle.
