The death of the young man immediately shocked everyone present.

Not everyone can speak generously for the blood feud between humans and demons, and the Great Demon is right, these people are in this place because they have contradictions of one kind or another with the Eastern Council - some contradictions, even completely irreconcilable.

Of course, the more realistic problem is the difference in strength between the two sides - in this dark tower, although there are many powerful wizards among the prisoners, but under the suppression of the forbidden demon field, both humans and demons can only rely on the power of the flesh.

And in this regard, humans are no match for demons at all.

Just this seemingly ordinary big demon, as long as he goes all out, it is definitely not a problem to easily kill every human here.

The physical gap between the Great Demon and ordinary humans cannot be erased by numbers alone.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the Great Demon showed a hint of a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation. ”

"First of all, allow me to introduce myself, I am a member of the Solomon family, a great demon of pure blood. ”

"Next, please follow me. The place where I need your help is not here, but below. ”

Everyone looked at each other, all a little stunned.

Isn't there only six floors in the Black Tower? This floor is already the lowest floor?

The answer was soon revealed, and under the leadership of the archdemon, or rather coercion, everyone walked down the hall into the depths.

Soon, they came to a huge crater. It was a living soil melted by fire and lava. Under the soil, there is really an empty space.

Standing at the edge of the crowd, Lance peeked at it, but vaguely saw strange pillars carved with runes carved on them.

"It's getting more and more interesting. What the hell are these demons trying to do?"

There was a smile in Lance's eyes - whatever the demons were trying to do, he had already planned it in his heart.

"It's rare to be able to meet a demon outside the demon territory, and it's also a great demon with pure blood, the surname Solomon has a very high status in the abyssal language, what a great opportunity. ”

As he thought so, Old Miller on the side suddenly tugged at his clothes with a solemn face.

"Above. Miller gestured.

Lance was stunned for a moment. Immediately looked up.

He looked in the direction Miller was pointing. I saw only a tarantula lurking in the corner.

......

"If it's really that ancient seal, then why did the demons only act this time?"

Outside the Black Tower, members of the Eastern Parliament were talking.

The councillors knew everything about the Eye of Nicholas, about the ancient seal. And they know, too.

It was a seal that had been discovered a long time ago - the first group of wizards had discovered that the power of the seal was very powerful. There is a very terrifying creature looming inside. And the creature had been trying to escape.

In the early days, the mountain town was not as impregnable as it is now, but it gathered more talent. At that time, the main battlefield of the war between humans and demons was still in the Eastern Theater. Almost all of the most elite talents of the Marseille Line were in the mountain towns or a few other nearby cities.

As far as these councillors knew, when the seal was discovered, the group of wizards who dominated the mountain city - that is, the third group of members of the Eastern Council - even had fourth-level wizards among them!

But this ancient seal is outrageous, and even a legendary-level wizard can't understand what is being sealed.

They only knew that this thing was very powerful, and it had a tyrannical aura, and once it broke free from the seal, the consequences would be very terrifying.

So in order to strengthen the seal, they built a black tower on top of it.

A large amount of forbidden materials were used at any cost - because the legendary wizard had deduced that the sealed creature was a magical and terrifying character, and the seal itself seemed to come from the heavenly realm, not sorcery, so the forbidden field could effectively suppress his power, thus reinforcing the seal.

So initially, the Black Tower itself was only used to reinforce the seal.

For many years afterward, under the reinforcement of the Black Tower, the seal never moved again. Some wizards who are familiar with this matter even believe that the sealed ancient guy is probably dead. Of course, no one was bored enough to open the Black Tower and remove the seal to see if the guy was dead.

Later, as the magic stone mines in the east gradually dried up, the war shifted to the west. Many wizards have also left, including the wizards who built the Black Tower.

The wizards left behind had to elect a new Eastern Council.

This group of members made up all the seats in the previous Eastern Assembly. In the process of managing the city, they gradually discovered that the vacant Black Tower was actually a very useful building.

They can lock disobedient wizards in. So that they are just like ordinary people.

So they began to set up cells inside the Black Tower. The Black Tower's function began to shift - the horror and fear of the discovery of the seal had been forgotten, and they saw the tower as a powerful way to assert their power and status.

Many wizards were imprisoned in the Black Tower. Some of them violated the law, some of them violated the will of the parliamentarians, and some of them were completely innocent and went to prison for pure injustice.

And day after day, year after year, no one ever spoke of the ancient seal under the Black Tower.

Everyone in the mountain city of Gordon mentions the Black Tower, and they think of every inch of the dark corner of the tower, and the suffocating forbidden field.

The most important and terrifying thing is slowly being forgotten.

However, there are some things that you don't want to forget, and they will really disappear.

Compared to tonight, the time bomb that was forgotten by humans seems to be about to be detonated.

......

"They may have only recently found this clue. ”

The aged Torline was the Speaker of the Eastern Council and had the highest prestige among the people. He has participated in many famous battles, and thousands of demons have been killed by him.

As soon as he spoke, all the chatter was silenced.

"Either way, you can't go wrong with Aldela's face. The contents of that ancient seal were most likely part of Aldra's body. ”

Torleon shook his head and sighed, "I really didn't expect that the body of the Demon Ancestor was right under our noses, and yet we didn't know anything. ”

"It's that the power of that seal is too strong. Fermat comforted, "Even the legendary wizard didn't notice this, we are only third-level wizards, which is beyond the scope of what we can solve." ”

"That being said, now we're facing this problem!"

Councilor Eagle said depressedly: "In front of the Forbidden Demon Field, our teleportation spells and peeping spells are all invalid, and we don't even know what they are doing!"

Torryne's brow furrowed even tighter, "If necessary, we'll have to dismiss the ordinary wizards and residents. ”

"My lord, is Aldra's body so terrifying?" the wizard in charge of the Black Tower area asked puzzledly, "Although he is the ancestor of demons, legend has it that he was cut into a thousand pieces by a god in the heavenly realm and sealed them separately. And that's just one of them. ”

"I know what you mean, but you must know that a part of Aldra's body may not be so terrifying, he is the ancestor of the demon, and the demon that has mixed into the Black Tower this time is most likely his direct bloodline. "In that case, I know that the demon has several terrifying rituals that can temporarily transfer the power within Aldra's stump to his direct bloodline," said Torryne. ”

"A third-level great demon, after completing the ritual, I'm afraid it will reach the peak state of the fourth-level. When the time comes, we'll be finished!"

Hearing Torleon's analysis, all the councillors' faces changed drastically.

It was only at this time that they really understood the severity of the matter.

A fourth-level demon can indeed destroy an entire mountain city.

Even in the current situation where there is a shortage of third-level spellcasters on the eastern front, and the fourth-level is simply not visible, he can lead the demon army to sweep across the entire east!

At that time, the northern gateway of the Creeland plane will really be half opened!

When that day comes, the people of the Eastern Council of the mountain city will probably become the sinners of the whole of Creeland.

Aldra's face, as always, hung on top of the Black Tower, as if mocking their ignorance and incompetence.

Shadows began to grow in the hearts of everyone.

These powerful third-level wizards have begun to shake in their hearts - the demons are so powerful, they are not something we can compete with at all, shouldn't we consider retreating?

Not only the councillors, but even the ordinary wizards who stood far away seemed to be affected.

They began to feel anxious, some of them even trembled with fear, and some tried to leave, but found that they could not even move their legs.

"Cheer me up!"

Torien snorted.

He raised the staff in his hand and began to chant a unique rhythmic byte over and over again—and under his leadership, several third-level wizards who were the first to react joined in the chanting.

The chant grew louder and louder, and a burst of bright light erupted from the tip of the staff, which slowly coalesced into a crooked moon.

The moon slowly broke away from Toline's staff, and finally flew into the sky, faintly confronting the hideous face.

Under the moonlight, everyone suddenly felt a loosen on their bodies.

The fear, anxiety, and even the feeling of near-collapse were gone.

"This is [the shadow of Aldra]. Torreen gasped, "It's equivalent to an enhanced version of [Powerful Fear Technique]. ”

"We can't sit still, we have to find a solution!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd in the distance:

"My lord, I have a solution. (To be continued......)
