Chapter 61: Trouble from the Darkness
Standing behind the boundary between light and darkness, the three vampires in the dim orange light of the dining room, without changing their arrogant temperament, tried to maintain their graceful demeanor, standing tall and looking directly at the tower master bathed in the light of the hall. His eyes were a little complicated, but he still refused to bow his head, but balanced the positions of the two parties.
Lin didn't mean to suppress the other party's momentum, and his speech was more polite. After all, the other party's life is in their own hands, and there is no point in taking advantage of it. "Miss Lady, let's go one by one. First, ask for the identity of this group of people outside. ”
"Marton Bolog, his family, and his family."
"I'm here with my family. Is his family, or the family of his family, still out there? ”
"Probably not. That despicable villain moves with his own doglegs wherever he goes. Without his trust, it is impossible to remain among his family, and it will become food for others and be devoured. ”
"He must be a different faction than you."
The quick-mouthed young vampire immediately said, "How do you know? But in exchange for a glance from his companion.
"It's clear. The two of you are hiding in different places, and the group outside is dead, and you don't seem to have a strong desire to take revenge. What's more, the Lady just said it, despicable villain. I guess even if it's the same faction, there are internal contradictions. So the question is, who are their backers? ”
"The Marquis of Mezaros, who is also the patriarch of the Messarosz clan. One of the four archaic of the peninsula. And Marton Borlog was the first soldier under his command. ”
"So this clan, compared to your father's power, who is stronger and who is weaker? Is it a little stronger, or a lot stronger; Is it weaker or much weaker? ”
Seeing that Dorothy Najib was a little puzzled, Lin continued to explain, "You just mentioned that you are willing to take an oath with the Blood Covenant, and there should be credibility. But whether or not you can restrain forces other than your father depends on the difference in strength between the two sides. If your father is the weaker party, then the covenant is a joke. Because I didn't hurt you, and you can't restrain me on the side of my enmity. If you are only a little stronger, you may avoid the covenant in order to reduce your losses. For me, if the problem is not solved, then it makes no difference whether the covenant exists or not. In other words, your guarantee is valuable only if your father's side is strong enough. ”
"Your Excellency the Tower Lord has said so, and I only seem to have one answer."
After thinking for a while, Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes." Then this question is left alone. So I'll ask you one last question, what are you doing here? ”
"Originally, Borlog said that he was coming to take control of the forum and the browser. But it seems to me that they also want to try to fight for that legendary title. And we were forced by him to be Witnesses. ”
Lin smiled wryly again. Forget about the browser, the forum is based on the energy pool of the magic tower. If the vampires want to control, it is equivalent to occupying the tower. The Mage's Guild does not exclude dark creatures, provided that they abide by the Mage's Convention and take it as their duty to protect the civilized world. If it's a murderous seizure, it's just a prelude to another big war.
As for the legendary title, just as a magician is to a saint of law, a warrior is to a martial god, and an assassin is to a god of killing, it must be awarded and recognized by everyone, and each has its own conditions for achieving it. And in order to achieve the name of God Slayer, there is a simple condition that 'successfully assassinate the tower master in the magic tower'.
As the top war fortress in the world of Lost Land, the magic tower has no doubt about its internal and external protection. If an assassin can assassinate the owner of the magic tower, his strength cannot be doubted, and he is qualified to achieve the name of 'killing gods'.
And those who are willing to fight for this legendary name, the most ideal target is, of course, some rookie tower owners. Before the magician completely grasps it, it can be said that the most vulnerable moment for the war fortress like the magic tower. So Lin also considered that he would become the target of such a careerist. It's just that for more than a year, I haven't encountered anyone who has come to the door to find trouble, so I have relaxed.
Lin looked at the three vampires who maintained their arrogant demeanor, and smiled helplessly and said, "In other words, you can be regarded as implicated." It's just that before you came to my magic tower, you didn't think about the possibility of defeat for you, the first warrior? ”
The lady's ancient face was also a little embarrassed at this time. "Under normal circumstances," she said, "if we want to leave, no magician can stop us. ”
"yes, under normal circumstances." Lin flicked the second knuckle ring of the little finger of his right hand, and in an instant, part of the lighting in the hall was turned off, forming a dark corridor. Connected to the restaurant and straight to the gate of the Magic Tower.
Originally, seeing the movement of the tower master's fingers, the three blood clans were startled, thinking that the tower master had broken his promise and killed himself. Unexpectedly, in a bright hall, a dark corridor was opened. Accommodating one person, slightly wider, if you want two people to walk side by side, there is bound to be someone who is unlucky enough to be exposed to the lights.
Such a strange sight prevented the surrounding light from spreading into the darkness, forming two distinct worlds, and Dorothy Najib was even more afraid of the tower master's magical strength. With a lifespan of more than two hundred years, she is not ignorant of magic, and by the standards of the Wizards' Guild, she is also a full-fledged magician. But she had no idea how to form the scene in front of her.
However, what can be known is that the tower owner seems to have plans to release people. She asked, "Aren't you going to make a blood covenant with me?" ”
"The so-called covenant is what is ready to be broken. Although I don't know the detailed process of the ritual and the impact after it is performed, I think it will be binding on you and even me. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome for me to let your father or yourself spend all day thinking about breaking the covenant? Anyway, the threat of the magic tower to you, I already have a bottom in my heart. Letting you go can be regarded as my kindness. If there are still vampires coming to the door in the future, I will kill them directly, and there will be no second conversation. ”
"So, can we go?"
"Of course, I don't want to keep you overnight. By the way, by the way, do you have a good solution to my student's situation? Lin pointed to Kaya, who was leaning against Harumi, still unconscious. Exposure to the lighting of simulated sunlight also seemed to cause her slight pain. And it looks like it's getting deeper.
Dorothy Nagy took one look and said, "Garlic is the right answer." Squeeze a large amount of garlic into juice and pour it over to your students until they spit out. It only takes three times to spit and the toxins are cleaned. Moreover, the blood that bit her is dead, and after the toxin is removed, there will be no sequelae. ”
"Got it, please." Lin Yi waved his hand and motioned to send off the guests. The remaining three vampires didn't say a word, and immediately transformed into bat form. Under the protection of the black mist, pass through the dark corridor as fast as you can and leave the Tower of the Great Sage. Get out of this place where they can be easily killed.
The threat of the Great Sage's Tower must be told to my father, and even the compatriots of the Naji clan must be forbidden to do so. Gaybrash Tripwood's use of magic is far from understandable by our hundreds of years of life.
As for the other clans, Dorothy Najib decided to keep his agreement with the tower lord and warned them not to come to the attack. The deceased Yin Jian is in front of her, and if someone really thinks that she has lived too long, then she can't help it. However, with her understanding of her kindred, even those martial arts factions who despise short-lived races cherish their lives very much. The longer you live, the more you fear death, and this seems to apply to all races.
And Dorothy Naji herself will never set foot in this tower a second time. This decision was not a blood covenant, but it was more unbreakable than any oath.
After sending off the uninvited guests, Lin asked Halumi to go and collect the garlic juice. He himself picked up the girl in pain and walked to their room.
After today's incident, the protection of the Great Sage Tower against these assassins and thieves will be set up more strictly, so as to prevent this kind of accident from happening a second time. As he walked, Lin pondered about the anti-theft measures that could be used in this magical world after the modernization of the earth.
Such thoughts are not unfounded, and the invasion of the Bloods is a beginning. In the following nights, there are often uninvited guests, hiding in the tower of the great sage, and few people pass by.
It's just that these people think they are skilled in stealth technology, and no one has discovered it. But he didn't expect that Lin had already set that when the vital signs were above a certain level, and there were not three masters and apprentices with a record, the magic tower would take the initiative to send out a warning message, and at the same time, it would start tracking in the monitoring of the core room.
Therefore, the tower master knows very well which thieves have come in, but they don't plan to catch them, or even poke the other party's hide. Just block off where they can get there, or lock the room where they're hiding. The three masters and apprentices consciously avoided it to avoid the recurrence of someone falling into the hands of these people in the shadows and becoming hostages.
Inexplicably locked up overnight, most of them will leave as soon as they can leave.
As for the lighting, it is better to solve the problem, simply make it into an induction form, and the lights will be on wherever people go. On top of that, keep the light to a minimum. Or when sleeping, take the initiative to give instructions to turn off the lights.
This design is not only for those dark creatures who are afraid of light, but also for those who walk in the dark, because it increases their chances of exposure.
What if there is really that kind of thief who can't dodge, can't dodge, and is bumped into by the three masters and apprentices?
If you run backwards in the opposite direction, you won't chase it. The so-called poor Kou Mo Chase, in the group of magicians in the Maze World, believes that no one can chase others with the magic tower on their backs. So risking being ambushed and chasing down fleeing enemies is not a wise magician. It's really strong enough, and the first wave of contact should kill all the enemies.
If the opponent rushes up and tries to arrest someone, he will be faced with multiple laser beams that will penetrate his body.
The design of all kinds of self-determined rules made Lin one head and two big, and he was dizzy for a while.
At the same time, it also made him deeply realize that magic is more unreasonable than technology. For example, from the perspective of technology, how to judge a person's goodwill and malice? It may be necessary to judge the state of mind of the observed person from the help of data such as body temperature, brain waves, and heartbeat count, as well as facial expressions, speech, etc., in order to determine the behavior of anti-theft measures.
The magic is directly thrown into a camp to judge, and after the enemy or friend is marked, the one who should be killed is killed, and the one who should be ignored is ignored.
And then the world was at peace again.
