Chapter 652: Grass

The three Duke of Rivi stood on the city wall.

Looking beyond the devastation and decay of the southern land, he stared at the seventy-story magic tower in the distance, where each layer shone with the light of a flowing magic ring.

They could clearly see the seven layers of aura surrounding Victor's body.

Then he turned into an afterimage and disappeared abruptly.

This scene surprised them.

Victor really went in!

"It seems that the Lord of the Magic Tower is not averse to communicating with us?"

Vladimir, who was standing aside, stroked his chin with his hand, and slowly spoke after contemplation.

And Levi, who was beside him, pondered for a while, and did not express his opinion for a long time.

Because, he knows more than Vladimir.

As Empress Claudia, the wife of the previous Emperor Oberly, was a witcher.

A secret partnership was established between the empire and the witchers to prevent the recurrence of accidents such as the prince's collusion with demons.

The Witcher Order regularly arranges for Witchers to enter the Empire in search of demons.

So, when the witcher noticed that there were traces of demons near the magic tower, Levi immediately thought of Victor.

The demon's trail was recently discovered after Victor's return.

Nowadays, who doesn't know that the devil has a relationship with Victor?

Moreover, Levi also focused on something deeper.

Especially about Victor's teaching assistant.

The demonic invasion of the academy has been officially recorded in the royal history books and will remain forever.

Devin Rayser colluded with the demons and was executed as the end of the event.

But that time, only Levi saw it.

In the center of the crater where the demon dissipates after Victor defeats the greedy demon, Victor holds a girl.

It was Victor's teaching assistant.

Levi then secretly investigates the girl's identity.

It was discovered that she had grown up in an orphanage and had no surname.

Moreover, she was recognized by the academy as a [Magicless], which means that she did not have the talent to learn magic.

However, when she disappeared ten years ago, she had already become a third-order mage.

How can a person without mana become a third-order mage?

What happened in the meantime?

Around these questions, there will be many doubts.

All in all, after learning about these situations, Levi confirmed that the other party was not as simple as an ordinary magic teaching assistant.

In particular, the traces of demons that have appeared near the magic tower recently seem to be clues deliberately left by the other party.

Subsequently, the letter, written in imperial script, was also intentional.

Let them go through the tide of Warcraft and take the initiative to go to the Magic Tower to meet?

The terrifying difficulty rules are almost like they're designed for someone.

Rivi was immersed in thought, and Vladimir, who was next to him, suddenly said:

"But it's also a great opportunity."

"Without that group of demonic beasts, we can try to rush out and explore that magic tower."

"Maybe, I can take this territory back first!"

Vladimir doesn't know as much as Rivi.

So his mind was full of thoughts about how to regain the territory of the empire and do everything possible to drive away this group of demonic beasts.

After all, that's what he did when he was in the North.

It's just that in the south, due to the steady stream of demonic beasts, he finally chose to give up the attack and stick to the defense instead.

Now that the opportunity has come, Vladimir certainly wants to regain lost territory, even if only a small part of it.

However, Levi shook his head lightly and responded:

"Forget it, Vladimir."

"He may be the only one who the other party wants to see."

"He? Who? ”

Vladimir froze for a moment, but he quickly understood that Levi was talking about Viktor.

Apparently, he said this in order to conceal Victor's identity.

After all, there are so many Imperial soldiers around.

Vladimir frowned, full of doubts in his heart:

"How is that possible? Could it be that he can still get to know the Lord of the Demon Tower? ”

In the middle of this discussion, Hera next to her gently fanned the fan in her hand.

She stroked her chest with one hand and held a fan in the other, leisurely covering in front of her:

"Then go and have a look?"

"I also want to see which fox is hooking up with Wei ...... He. ”

At this moment, Hera suddenly closed the fan.

She twisted her wrist slightly, put the tip of the fan to her mouth, and spoke with some provocation:

"Or is it that as an imperial general, you have such little guts?"

"Don't you even dare to cross this wall when you don't have any enemies?"

Apparently, Vladimir was quite sensitive to Hera's provocations.

He snorted coldly, said nothing, and then stepped on the city wall first.

The moment he ascended the city wall, the soldiers around him were stunned.

The general isn't going to jump, is he?

Sure enough, Vladimir jumped into the sky like an eagle and disappeared from the city wall in an instant.

His figure fell in the air, and the space around him condensed into batches of ice crystals and snowflakes scattered into the air.

The cold air of hoarfrost swept across Vladimir's body, and in the blink of an eye, a pale path of mist was pulled out of the air.

Rumble!

With an earth-shattering roar, countless soldiers rushed over the high wall, their eyes locked on the bottom of the wall.

On the ground, dust was flying, and there were bursts of thick dust clouds in shock.

When the dust cleared, a sharp, blue ice crystal was revealed.

Like a boulder protruding from the ground, it cracked violently.

And Vladimir is standing in this shattered ice.

He took a deep breath and inhaled the pale cold air of Western Zhou into his heart.

Then, his eyes widened, he roared, and rushed forward.

The body turned into a pale white light that quickly swept across the southern land.

Everywhere they passed, sharp ice spikes and cracked ice crystals exploded.

The soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded, and one by one their jaws almost touched the city wall.

After all, in order to prevent the monsters from attacking, the height of the city wall is not ordinary.

Unexpectedly, General Vladimir jumped at such an old age, and there was nothing to do.

Seeing this, Hera also pursed her lips and smiled, and jumped down from the city wall gracefully.

On the city wall that he stepped on, bursts of sharp bone spurs suddenly rose.

Soon, however, the bone spurs collapsed with Hera's departure.

Only Rivi stood quietly on the city wall, looking at the angry old general in the distance, and shook his head helplessly.

It's clear that he's already a retirement-age person, but that fiery temper is still as strong as when he was young.

Seeing them gradually move away from the city wall and quickly advance in the direction of the magic tower, the soldiers on the side of the city wall couldn't help but start worrying.

Their eyes were focused on Levi, and they couldn't help asking:

"Lord Duke, don't we need to go to the aid together?"

The generals had already rushed out, and it seemed a little wrong for the soldiers not to rush forward.

However, hearing these words, Duke Levi only responded lightly:

"No, you don't."

He stood at the top of the city wall, his eyes deep, looking at the towering magic tower in the distance.

"Prepare your army, and tell those adventurers who are in good prowess to be on guard immediately."

"When the situation is critical, we will send troops to support."

He knew that if all the power in the city poured out and the walls were left unguarded, that was the real danger.

Once there is a surprise attack of demonic beasts that have not yet died, if they are besieged, no one can escape.

Therefore, Levi chose to stay on the city wall to take command and ensure that he could send troops to help at any time.

It's far easier to tear a hole from the outside than to break through from the inside.

……

At this time, Vladimir was approaching the magic tower.

He has ice magic attached to his feet, and he can run faster and more agilely.

This is also a skill he has learned after many years of fighting in the cold and snowy environment of the north.

Immediately afterward, Vladimir looked behind him and measured the distance between the walls and here.

This distance alone allowed them to hold the southern front for ten years.

"There is no danger."

The monster was indeed completely wiped out by Victor.

For a short period of time, no monster will run through the tower's defenses to the walls of Kusistan.

Now, he can even walk alone in this land that once belonged to the Empire.

Although provoked by Hera, he had planned to come here to investigate the security situation.

Including underground, whether there are unknown monsters lurking.

If there is a real crisis, he has the confidence to resist it for a while, and hold out until Rivi's support arrives.

Otherwise, Victor would have built an earthen wall that would lead to the Magic Tower.

Vladimir could have reached the front of the Magic Tower along the earthen wall of the swaying head.

It can only be said that observing the magic tower is a matter of incident.

He stood in front of the magic tower and looked up.

This tower, which is the first to reach into the sky, is carved with extremely strange patterns on each floor.

The towering earthen wall on the side is like a sharp blade, dividing the southern land in two.

Faced with the spectacular scene in front of him, Vladimir took a deep breath.

What did Victor do just now?

Thinking of this, he followed Victor's example and stretched out his hand towards the magic tower.

Immediately after, an aura similar to that of Victor flashed on him.

Vladimir was thrilled.

He even thought that he would be able to successfully enter the magic tower in the next second.

However, at this moment, an indifferent voice slowly sounded:

[Identity Authentication Failure - Preparing for Eviction]

Hearing this, Vladimir was stunned.

Failed to authenticate? Preparing for eviction, what does that mean?

Could it really be that only Victor can enter the Magic Tower?

Although the first sentence was not understood by Vladimir, soon he understood the second meaning of the phrase.

Because at this moment, the magic tower is like an enraged beast.

Each rune flashed with a red glow, and even the air in the Western Zhou became scorched and dull.

Then, sharp iron filings slashed across his face.

The moment he felt the pain, Vladimir immediately looked up.

What catches your eye is the outbreak of a scarlet storm.

Countless iron filings fluttered around the tower, tearing through the sky.

And with the flying of iron filings, a giant scarlet crocodile was reflected in the iron filings.

It poked its head out of the earthen wall on the other side, and with its hands on the earthen wall, it looked at Vladimir.

It's like looking at a weak bug.

The moment he saw it, Vladimir's brain shut down a little.

Because he'd seen this thing in front of him.

Finally, Vladimir took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.

He decided to retract his previous statements.

In other words:

"Grass."

"They really know ......"

Boom ——!!!

In the next second, the iron filings scattered.

A huge fist crashed and slammed into the towering wall of earth and sank into the shattered earth.
