Chapter 42: The Evaluation of the Tower

From the moment he entered the tower, Greenwyn tried to find the slightest trace of the aftermath of the Great War, but unfortunately there was none. And there were no signs of injury to the three masters and apprentices of the tower master. Seeing the ending of the Ombudsman squad that was completely annihilated, one thing is almost certain, this is a one-sided massacre, the kind that has no ability to resist.

Was it a sudden attack that caused this group of magicians to lose their lives because of carelessness? What kind of attack could cause such a death? Many questions filled the minds of the people.

Greenwin couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart any longer, and asked, "Lord Tripwood, I wonder if your tower can provide the surveillance footage of the day to clarify some questions. Of course, this is what the president meant, and only show it to the three great magicians to confirm that you are defending yourself in the tower. It will not be published. And the three archmages are me, the Elder, and the master of the West Tower of the Five Cities, Lord Becker. ”

"Of course, please come with me to the core room. Originally, the president meant not to make it public, so I didn't cut out the footage of the day. Since Lord Greenwyn wants to confirm it, he will have to operate it on the core room console. ”

Instructing the mourners to dispose of the remains, Greenwin followed in Lin's footsteps and walked to the third floor. Looking at the back of the person in front of him, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the chill in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Straight up to the core room on the third floor, the layout is not much different from what I saw when I came back last time, and there is not much difference in my impression. But the feeling of pressure felt all over the body is far from being comparable to the previous time. Greenwin was keenly aware that this was not caused by psychological factors, but by a real sense of oppression around the body. It was as if a high concentration of magical power flowed around him.

Sit back down on the console and start editing the movie. As before, the level of complexity is still confusing. Greenwin's eyes were fixed on the image presented on the mirrored energy pool, watching the rapid reversal of time, he was afraid of missing any important information.

However, Lin, who was sitting in front of the console and operating, was quite emotional. Thinking back to the old machine from my college days, I had to throw away a movie file for an hour and a half. Now, no matter what you do, you just need to set it up, pull it out, and you're done. To date, the computer that built the otherworldly version is still unclear about the upper limit of its computing speed.

After a while, the surveillance footage of the target time period was extracted separately. Lin also put the clip into the Ombudsman's discussion forum with the assistance of Grand Wizard Greenwyn, and the new event discussion thread was lowered. And at the same time, after setting the viewing permission, the monitoring screen of the day will be officially played.

There are three lenses in the lobby, and there are three frames. One is shot from the central stairwell towards the main entrance, and this shot clearly shows the front of the five Ombudsmen shrouded in black mist. One is shot inwards from the gate, and in addition to the backs of the five Inspectors, there is also the front of the three masters and apprentices of the tower. The last one is placed diagonally behind the hall, and you can see the whole hall.

The voices of the conversation are still clear. Every word, Greenwin listened attentively. Coos's name comes from his fellow Ombudsman, and that is the person in the picture who is constantly looking for trouble, or death.

A magic missile shattered the silence of the conversation. It is clearly visible on the screen that the energy light bullet penetrates through the body of the tower master, but it is like passing through a phantom, and the person is safe.

"Is this a phantom?" Greenwyn asked, stunned.

Pausing the broadcast of the surveillance screen, Lin got up and said, "Three-dimensional imaging." In fact, it is made by merging and improving the two magics of Marshall's puppet technique and your illusion technique. As he spoke, he picked up the helmet next to him and put it on. Lin patted the magic stone in his right ear, and the phantom that was exactly the same as him immediately walked towards the two of them from the corner of the core room.

Many of Lin's achievements are actually based on the association's existing magical knowledge. It's quite like writing a program in the time of the earth, and if you need any function, you need to find a library first, and you can engrave it yourself if you don't have a library. It's the same in the maze, if you want any function, you first find the magical knowledge that the association can provide, and then analyze and rewrite it into the shape you need.

Greenwin watched as the people who came came to life, and his every move was flawless. The tower master phantom naturally introduced: "The original idea was just to receive some unimportant guests, and I didn't want to run up and down. That's why I borrowed from the magic of my predecessors and designed a phantom that can appear at any location in the magic tower at any time. Later, I found that it can also play a role in self-protection for some ill-intentioned people, so as to avoid being killed at the first time. So for some hostile people, I also use such doppelgangers to meet each other. ”

Reaching out, it went straight through the phantom's body. Greenwyn is not unprecedented, but there are always limitations and flaws. As in front of me, in addition to having no physical body, a phantom that has all kinds of movements and appearances that are almost the same as a real person, but it is truly the first time to see that it can perform movements that are different from the main body.

Greenwin didn't feel wrong with this life-saving magic. Although it is quite rude for some people not to greet the tower owner in person, it honestly does not constitute a reason to attack the tower. Although it is a good excuse, it is a big sin to disrespect the hero by success or failure, and successfully capture and kill the tower master; Failure and death, disrespect is a trivial matter.

After a little understanding, Greenwin motioned to continue the picture of the day's events. Lin also disarmed the clone and pressed the play button.

After a magic missile, the figures of the tower master, master and apprentice gradually faded and even disappeared. The two sides can be said to be hostile and unequivocal. I saw that the main door and the central stairwell were all closed, and the doors of the four rooms on the first floor were also closed. But the trap was not set in the first place, and the five Ombudsmen were given time to discuss the conversation.

Lin explained on the side: "Although the gate is closed, in fact, it has not been completely sealed. With a simple unlocking technique, you can open the door and leave. If I had chosen this path, the trap I had set would not have worked. If you attack a stairwell, in addition to activating the trap, the gate will also be closed twice. When you want to open the door, you can only take time or attack. ”

In the footage, the Ombudsman Koos attacks the central stairwell, and the trap is activated. Greenwin looked at the inconspicuous small beam of light, and slashed a living person in half, and none of the magical equipment on his body played a protective role.

The second and third beams, followed by the fourth beam, which returns to the first beam mode, seems to be an opportunity to break the trap. Just as Greenwin was thinking like this, the pattern on the screen suddenly changed, becoming a beam net that killed back and forth, directly cutting off the remaining four people. And there are three great magicians among them, so caught off guard, no life-saving means can work.

Greenwyn also thoroughly understood why the remains he had just seen were the same as those pieces. Thinking about it, in that trap, he found that his fate would be the same as everyone else on the screen. Even now, who already knew the means of protection of the Great Sage's Tower, he couldn't find a way to protect himself for a while, or even counterattack the tower master.

Ignoring the cold sweat on his back and forcibly suppressing his voice, Greenwin forced his composure and asked, "Lord Tripwood, what kind of magic is that light?" ”

"That's improved with the Bright Light Technique."

Damn it! Isn't the Bright Light technique only for illumination? Greenwin shouted in his heart.

"This beam is formed by instilling a high intensity of energy and concentrating it on a small area. However, the relevant research is still ongoing, and it is not finalized, which is an experimental trap at best. ”

Nature of Experiment...... The trap ...... There are three great magicians and a team of inspectors, can you pit a little more. Greenwin clawed his head in his heart and roared. However, on the surface, he still had to remain calm, and asked tentatively: "Then, is Your Excellency willing to hand over these few spells?" ”

"How many of these? It doesn't work for most people. Lin didn't deliberately hide it, and said honestly: "Let's not mention that I'm still researching." These spells can only be used by relying on magic towers and energy pools, and ordinary magicians can't use them even after learning them. If you want to use it strongly, not to mention the level of complexity, you probably will be drained of magical power. ”

"Tower with magic?" Greenwyn brought up a major classification in the wizarding world according to the characteristics that Lin had mentioned.

The common denominator of tower magic is that it is difficult to cast, consumes a lot of energy, and is very powerful. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the magic tower to make a pre-arrangement in order to be able to perform it smoothly. Generally speaking, it refers to the unique strategic-level attack magic array of the magic tower, and it is also the main reliance of the tower to become a war fortress to defend and protect the civilized world.

Individual versions of this type of magic are often classified as forbidden spells by the Guild. 'Forbidden magic used under normal conditions'. Because this type of magic usually has a large impact and is easy to accidentally injure, it will be severely punished by the Guild if used outside of wars and battlefields.

In other words, the attack magic array of the general magic tower is external, used to deal with the army or the group of demonic beasts, but the thing in front of him is to put a forbidden spell into his own tower.

Hmm~, is there a violation of the rules? Greenwyn was distressed. Not to mention that Tripwood's self-created magic has not yet been explicitly listed as a forbidden spell, and it is difficult for the guild to govern it for this reason. The biggest reason why the forbidden spell is a forbidden spell is that it is afraid that an attack with too large a range will accidentally injure the civilian population. Limiting the scope of the attack to the inside of the magic tower eliminates the possibility of accidental injury, and there is no reason to prohibit it.

This kind of thing that seems inappropriate, but no one says no, really makes Greenwin not know how to advise the tower owner in front of him how to do it. At the same time, it is also understandable why the three great magicians and two magicians still lost their lives despite being protected by a variety of auxiliary and defensive magic, as well as a variety of auxiliary and defensive magic, and life-saving means.

There are two accepted ways to deal with forbidden spell-level magic: one is to interrupt the casting; One is how far it is and how far it goes. Carry it in the flesh, unless you become a god.

Maybe when I get back, I'll report it to the president. Raise the danger level of the Great Sage's Tower to Green, or even Cyan, which can only be assessed by a four-story tower. In the future, this kind of shortage that troubles the tower owner should be less. Greenwin sighed inwardly.

However, for the other party, limited by his low vision, Lin had no idea how exaggerated what he was doing. Because in other people's rumors, the Magic Tower was a dangerous place. Since you have a tower, it's no matter how difficult it is, and there is no bottom limit.
