Siegel drew his sword, the cold touch of Stardust reassuring him. He stabbed the corpses on the ground with his sword, making sure they wouldn't get up. Only then cast the spell and make them float in mid-air so that you can check them yourself.

To be on the safe side, he decided not to touch the body with his hands. Siegel had demonstrated the ability to manipulate multiple objects with mind control spells from the Pharath Faranis, and as his spell abilities improved, the technique became more and more adequate. The corpse's mage robe contained a lot of miscellaneous items, such as wands, spell packs, and all the small and light items. None of this was Siegel's goal, what he was looking for was the plan of the dead mages and all the intelligence related to the Red Magic Tower.

But there was nothing to be found in these three people.

The mage continued to look at the room, why did the three of them choose to die here? The blood on the ground was completely concentrated under the chairs, and there was no blood except for the flow along the ground. It is clear that they sat in chairs until they died. But Siegel found no signs of restraint here, the gate was also open, and no guards were found to be guarding it. There must be something in this room that attracts them, and they would rather eat themselves hungry and laughing than leave.

Siegel followed the corpse's gaze and saw only a bare wall, with only one fireplace mounted on it. Siegel was stunned for a moment, looking from the outside of the magic tower, it was clear that the whole building was in one piece, and there was no chimney in sight, why was there a fireplace in the house? Siegel crouched down and used the star dust to stir the dregs in the fireplace.

It's definitely not firewood burning here, Siegel took a closer look. The ash of the wood burned was anything but like this! He found a hard, grayish-black shard in the slag. All that remains is about the size of a needle tip. Siegel picked it up with a spell. Lean in front of your eyes and observe.

"Fragments of the Flame Soul Crystal!" Siegel finally recognized the thing. He crouched down and looked more closely.

The other shards were still unrecognizable, though he found some more fragments of Flame Soul Crystals in the corner of the fireplace. Siegel collects them, including a portion of the "ashes", and puts them all in a space bag. Maybe go back to the magic lab and use the alchemy tools to find out what this kind of thing is.

In order to avoid being discovered by later generations, the bodies of the three dead mages were placed back in chairs by Siegel, and their contents were left untouched. Siegel thinks that there must be a map of the construction of the magic circle and the magic tower outside. At the very least, there should be logs or something, so he continued to search upwards.

The staircase went all the way through a number of rooms—a simple lounge, a barn for things, an oval room with an enchanted workbench. The rooms are empty and will not be filled until they are completed. Siegel walked all the way, and the staircase ended in front of a pair of massive bronze doors.

As he approached, the door opened automatically, and Siegel felt that there was no danger around him, so he poked his head in. Inside was a vast brass palace, larger than the magic tower itself, which must have been effected by space magic. On the yellow walls hung the heads of many dead creatures. Each one belongs to a powerful population. Siegel saw a large number of dragons and a magic ball full of eyes. Saw a demon with a sharp horn in his head, and even a silver-white golem head. They lowered their heads and looked down coldly, focusing their gaze on the vicinity of the bronze gate. And in the middle of the palace, there was a lead-gray metal chair, full of thorns and barbs, I wonder who could sit on such a chair? The back of the chair was inlaid with red gems, the largest and roundest gem was set on the claw rest at the top of the chair, and a sentence was written in the dragon language next to it: "Flesh and blood will eventually pass away, but thoughts will be eternal." ”

There is nothing wrong with this sentence in itself, but there is a strangeness in writing it in such a place full of specimens of the heads of strong men, as if it is showing off or coercing. Siegel looked at the heads, many of which he didn't recognize at all, and he could only guess that the weird, twisted, but intimidating heads might have come from another world. It's a museum, and it's always a carefully selected specimen. Siegel looked at it a few times and finally found the problem.

There weren't any undead heads.

Not to mention the lower undead, such as skeletons or zombies, which are certainly not enough to hang on the wall. Among the undead are the powerful Bloodline, the Death Knight, the Nightshade (which should not be able to hang without a body), the Dragon Lich, and the demigod Lich on top of all the undead monsters, which are not represented on this wall. Combined with the words in the chair, Siegel probably understood why the door would open automatically for him, and he didn't feel any danger in the room.

This is for the undead creatures.

The mage kept his skeletal body deformed, stepped inside, and wandered through the hall. He noticed that as he walked, the heads on the walls would look away, and he kept looking at Siegel. This taste is not pleasant, and there is always a feeling of being on your back. Fortunately, he is now in the state of a skeleton, his heart is like water, and he has a strong resistance to this situation. After admiring the entire brass hall, he was convinced that there was no other portal here, and that the magic tower ended here.

But where are the documents and information he was looking for?

Siegel set his eyes on the chair in the middle of the room and walked over slowly. The base of the chair and the ground are completely cast together, sturdy and inseparable. When you get closer, you will notice that the metal surface is uneven, and there are many sharp protrusions all over the surface of the chair. In the space between the protrusions and the gemstones, there are many thin gray lines that do not intersect each other. Siegel had seen this style of thin lines, and it was in the Golden Skull warrior he had eliminated.

I don't know what exactly these runes are for, but I can study them slowly by writing them down. Siegel took out a pen and paper and used rubbing magic to record the surface structure and magic lines of the chair.

The Knox community has a connection to the undead, and Siegel can confirm this. Originally, he wondered why Gonggong would specialize in mind-control spells, after all, the disadvantages of such spells were very obvious, especially when dealing with golems, elementals, and undead. But if they were originally connected to the undead. With such a strong ally. Then they will make up for this shortcoming. Can concentrate on the study and control of living creatures.

This is in response to the words in the chair: "Flesh and blood will eventually pass away, but thoughts are eternal." ”

There was no place to hide anything near the chair, and Siegel thought for a while before restraining his curiosity and cautiously giving up sitting on it. As he approached the door, he triggered some kind of mechanism that opened the bronze door, and who knows what would be triggered by sitting on a chair?

Thinking of this, he suddenly clapped his palms, and the hard bones made a crunch sound when they collided. There are no Commonfellow sorcerers in this magic tower. There are only three mages from the original union, and they can't look at this bronze palace all day. So Siegel exited the palace and returned to the stairs. The bronze door closed automatically behind him, quietly blocking the end of the staircase.

Siegel took a deep breath and returned to his human form. He kept his eyes on the bronze door, reminding him never to look at the "portrait of joy" on the staircase. He reached out and pushed the door open again, and sure enough, this time he saw a different room.

It's a library, warm and cozy. On one side of the wall, shelves five stories high were filled with books, and the titles of the books were marked with silver dragon words on the backs of different thicknesses. There are no candlesticks or fireplaces here. Only the safe inextinguishable flame provides the light. The soft white light illuminated the large table, which was filled with drawings and materials. Next to the inkwell. The quill pens for writing are stacked in boxes, and the rotten ones are discarded in the paper basket.

A table clock sat next to the table and had been shut down because no one was taking care of it. Next to it is a couch with a backrest, and an open book rests on a thick cushion and a gray rabbit fur blanket. On the coffee table next to the sofa is a tray with unfinished drinks in golden cups. Siegel leaned in to see the broken black tea and the transcript of Silver Flame - Legendary Technology.

The book is also available in Heimling's library, and it is the original version, so there is no need to waste time looking at the manuscript. He only focused on drawings he hadn't seen before, especially those involving magic towers and magic circles. The scrolls placed on the table clearly indicated the main points of the magic circle depicted outside the Red Tower, and there was a brief panorama. Siegel finds a large blank piece of paper on the bookshelf and uses a spell to copy the important information.

There are a lot of spellcasting materials used in the "Transcription Technique", all of which are used by Siegel. He copied and studied the effects of the circle, and finally understood the purpose of those laughing circles. The entire tower is a spell amplifier that enhances the strength and range of the spell. This "Tower of Joy" can create pleasure and happiness, turning everyone's emotions into irrepressible joy on a large scale. Except for prepared spellcasters, most ordinary people will be infected by this emotion.

If it is used on the battlefield to make both sides of the battle lay down their weapons, this is indeed a good spell. But what happens if you use your spells to the extreme, or if you lose control? Infinite happiness can make people lose their fighting spirit and even the strength to fight for survival. They will find a comfortable place, soak up the feeling, and remain motionless except for a smile.

When they are hungry, they look for the nearest food, which is themselves.

That's how those three mages died. They must have made a mistake when making the magic circle, resulting in the spell being affected. Fortunately, the scope of the spell's effect was limited to the magic tower, and it did not spread, otherwise this hub fort would have become a hell of death. Thinking of this picture, Siegel shuddered, this spell technology that Knox would master was too terrifying, why didn't the Mage Federation seal it?

Aside from Fort Hub, could the magic tower in Brookwood have the same effect? Of all the emotions, joy and happiness are considered beneficial emotions, and most spells don't specifically protect against them, which gives the Knox Brotherhood an opportunity. They are worthy of being experts in the study of mind control spells, and when facing the secular world, within the scope of the magic tower, such spells can have an absolute control effect.

Siegel knew that with his current strength, he could not confront the Knox Guild head-on for the time being, and the situation on the Mage Guild's side was unclear. Whether Alexander the Lion King and William the Traveling Mage knew or not, Siegel couldn't guess, so he didn't dare to risk contacting them. If Archmage Casper finds out about this, the entire Heim Territory will not want to have a good life.

But he wouldn't let the Red Magic Tower build such a dangerous spell barrier in the city. All souls should be free to choose their own thoughts, and this is an area that is handled by specialized people.

Siegel was to inform the temples in the New World of this. (To be continued......)
