On a wasteland in Titania where ice and snow are melting.

There is still a lot of pristine ecology here, and the footprints of the human race are relatively scarce, and to come here, you have to travel through a long wasteland, and the wasteland is inhabited by many fierce beasts and magical beasts.

There is a magic tower standing on top of this wasteland, but because the energy barrier of the magic tower has begun to weaken, the more powerful magic beasts can already get close to the magic within thirty meters.

A shadow about fifty meters away from the magic tower squirmed imperceptibly.

Gasol, dressed in black leather armor, stepped out of the shadows, although he had repeatedly observed his surroundings before appearing, he still did not let down his vigilance, and his whole body was still in the best condition.

He was one of the secret guards directly belonging to the Titanian royal family, and was extremely close to the nature of Guera.

He was only sent here a dozen days ago to guard the magic tower of the former legendary mage Orwyn, waiting for the empire to finally decide where to go.

After the small southern country where Orwyn was born was destroyed by the undead empire, the Terran countries jointly defeated the undead and expelled them to the overseas archipelago, and the old small southern country territory was occupied by Titania and declared to be a national territory.

But a few months ago, Olwyn had fallen, and Fadel, an alien plane that was being pioneered in the Empire, had fallen.

After the death of a legendary mage, the question of how to distribute the legacy behind him is a question that will appeal to many people, including other legendary mages or peers who may not be tempted by Olwyn's wealth. But for another legendary mage's research in magic, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

Since Orwyn left no clues. A magic tower that may contain the legendary mage's most valuable treasure. It took more than two months for the Imperial side to find it.

Then a constant quarrel began, and the Wizards' Guild and the Imperial Wizard Legion in Titania, as well as some mages who had some friendship with Olwyn in the past, all claimed to have the right to inherit, and without exception, there were powerful people behind them, either extremely powerful or legendary powerhouses.

Their rivalry has even reached the scene of Emperor Sauron, but the Empire is struggling with the situation in Fadell. There is no intention to adjudicate for the time being.

Since Asturias continued to sell firearms to the natives, the Imperial army has suffered more casualties than before, and the speed of occupation has dropped to an unbearable level, not because the White Dragon Legion is unable to defeat the natives, but because whether they want to defeat or occupy new lands, they have to rely on the main army.

The reinforcements of the Second Line Regiment and the Local Guard Regiment were suffering increasing casualties in the face of the stubborn resistance of the natives and the damned firecrackers, in other words, it would be enough for Rodrinides to keep their current territory alive. The reinforcements were violently depleted by the aborigines with their firearms.

This affected Prince Garon's original plan, and he had planned to settle the army that supported Tristan. In a showdown with the other party, either go back to the country and change the troops of another Garon faction, or obediently obey and cooperate with Rodrinides to begin preparations for a general assault on the central temple of Mana.

Since it was impossible to decide where it belonged for a while, the imperial royal family had no choice but to send people to monitor this place, and it was not allowed to be directly taken by others for the time being.

However, Gasol is a little more symbolic here, he is just a small leader in the secret guard, and the strength of the battle is not even high-level, only the ability to hide and escape is quite good, even if he encounters a high-level professional, he can't beat it but it shouldn't be a big problem to get out.

So his role is not to stick here, but if someone really comes to get their hands on the magic tower, he will generally fight if he is not strong, and if he can't beat it, his first priority is to escape, and then report the news.

As for those enemies who can make him unable to even escape, such as the arrival of the legendary powerhouse, it doesn't matter, because as long as Gasol does not send a message of safety to the Imperial Secret Guard Headquarters through the specific magic array for more than three days, it means that something is wrong, and the Empire will immediately dispatch strong people to rush over.

And although Olwyn's magic tower is not presided over by the legendary mage himself, it still has a tower spirit. Even if the offender is strong enough to destroy the magic tower, he will gain nothing, so even if the legendary powerhouse comes to crack the magic tower, on the premise of not destroying the tower, he can only honestly solve the traps, puzzles and tests left by Orwyn one by one.

But it takes time, the problem left by a legendary mage, and the tower spirit host, unless you have insight into the mystery in advance, even if a strong person of the same level comes, it is impossible to solve it in three days, and then sweep away the relics inside.

There was still no movement around, and Gasol relaxed a little, although concealment was his forte, but staying in a certain shade like a mouse for a long time still very much wanted the sun to shine.

In the early days, Gasol was very conscientious, and he didn't show his head from beginning to end, but there was no movement, Gasol just hoped that this task would end soon, so let those old men in the imperial capital talk about it quickly, why bother with this errand yourself.

So in the past few days, Gasol felt that there was no need to embarrass himself so much, every day in the best time of the sun, if there was no abnormality, he would quietly come out, bask in the sun for a few minutes, and then return to the hidden place.

He raised his arms and greeted the sun, which felt a little warm after the first snow melted.

He was immersed in it, completely relaxed, and it was the best enjoyment of his day.

The sun shone on his face, warm.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a danger, like a bone-chilling cold.

Those who can become secret guards are extremely powerful in perception, and Gasol immediately exerted force on his toes and quickly retreated in a safe direction.

But at this moment, his body and consciousness suddenly changed for a while.

He felt like he was in an out-of-body state, with an invisible hand pulling his consciousness out of his body.

In his perception, in addition to what he sees with normal vision, he suddenly sees something that he shouldn't have seen, such as he "sees" the top of his head.

It is impossible for a normal person to see the top of his head without the help of a mirror or other things, but now he does "see", as if half of his body is still in the body, so he can see something through his eyes, and then half of his consciousness is pulled out of the top of his head, so he "sees" to the top of his head, and these two "seen" scenes overlap together.

One can imagine what kind of chaotic situation Gasol's perception was at this time, with this strange state of soul out of his body, he lost control of his lower limbs, but the upper part of his body was still unhindered.

But his attempt to escape was immediately frozen, and he fell from the sky.

He hurriedly stimulated his fighting energy, the mid-level professional was already able to use this powerful life-based energy inside his body, but it couldn't be outward, but the fighting energy had great resistance to magic, which could quickly get him out of the current danger.

But until this time, he still hadn't found any spellcasters against him in his perception, and that was what frightened him the most.

The vindictive spirit spread, and Gasol had the feeling that the soul that had emerged from the top of his head was slowly "pulled" back into his body, and with this pull, the lower limbs that had lost control were regaining consciousness.

But Gasol was not happy at all, but his heart was full of fear.

The opponent's attack on one's own magic is most likely a seventh-order spell Soul Walk, if it is not exempted, it will cause the attacker's consciousness to detach from the body, produce an out-of-body effect, and then send it to a designated place within the opponent's perception range.

This is not a spell that directly causes damage, after the soul is out of the body, the stronger its own spiritual power is, the faster it can return to the body, but during the period when the soul is separated from the body, it can only be beaten passively.

In order to avoid Gasol's perception, the caster casts the spell outside the range of his perception, and the effect is weakened, and Gasol is also protected by magic ornaments that weaken the mental attack, so he feels that his soul is being slowly pulled out, and the scene is overlapped, and the strange scene is seen above his head.

It's a pity that he is not a high-level professional, otherwise the fighting spirit can be formed outside, and the magic effect of the other party can be directly shattered, and the fighting spirit can only be in the body, and the effect produced is only equivalent to having another big hand wrestling, slowly pulling the soul back from the body.

So there was nothing wrong with his fears.

The follow-up attack came immediately, and an arrow shot from the same unknown distance was in his sight in the blink of an eye, and it was only after seeing the arrow that Gasol heard the roar.

He tried his best to draw his two short blades to hold the arrow, but the arrow broke through the two blades and pierced his chest, killing him.

After a while, two figures slowly approached from a distance.

Leonis obediently followed Solomon, carrying a brand-new longbow on her back, and the two of them walked until they reached Gasol's corpse.

Fifteen days ago, Solomon wrote to Perth Palace to take leave, and asked Edward to decide the affairs of the Fadel plane himself, and then he took Leonis quietly to the wasteland that Orwyn had told him.

"Do you need to dispose of his corpse?" Leonis touched her new bow, a legendary longbow Taslan that Solomon had reacquired for her after the Burst Bar was destroyed.

Solomon shook his head, "No, find a place to hide, and if anyone comes near, kill him." ”

With that, he walked towards the Magic Tower in Olwyn, where he had come to receive what Olwyn had left him.

It would be very difficult for others to crack the defenses of the magic tower in a short period of time without destroying the tower, but he was definitely an exception, because he had the key that Orwyn had left him, which could be recognized by the tower, and he also had Orwyn himself tell him about the most powerful defenses in the tower and the methods of cracking the traps.

To him, the Magic Tower was like an unguarded beauty. (To be continued......)
