Chapter 5 - wizard tower



The night has come, and the dark sky is covered with dark clouds. This Winter City, built at the junction of the outer sea and the inner sea, seems to be engulfed by a thick black fog.

Thorne’s necessities have been prepared for his long journey. At this time, he is walking alone on the dark street, heading for the last destination: the Bloody Arena!

Suddenly Thorne felt a ray of light flickering around, and he looked up at the wizard tower with awe.

A fist-sized bright light flashed at the top of the magnificent wizard tower, slowly spinning tirelessly around, as if escorting this bustling and noisy city.

It is like a bright beacon for travelers and overseas ships to guide the way forward. Thorne, who once ventured in the wilderness, came to Winter City for this reason.

However, the guiding function of this aura is just an accidental product, because the creator did not expect it to have the function of guiding the direction at the beginning. Its real name is: Eye of Insight!

Among the wizard’s four-ring prophecy spells is a reconnaissance spell called “Secret Eye”, and this “Eye of Insight” is like a super-enhanced version of “Secret Eye”!

It is said that the “eye of insight” can observe the scene within a radius of 100 kilometers at the farthest, and then transmit its image back to the wizard’s tower, and through the crystal ball connected to it, you can observe the surrounding changes.

In addition to being unable to penetrate solid barriers, hallucinations, darkness, and dense fog are hard to keep out of its peeps.

If it is a sunny day, because of the dazzling light, you can also find that there is a pillar of Mithril above the “eye of insight”.

Players will laugh when they see it and say: Come on! Isn’t that just a lightning rod?

The older residents in the city will close their eyes and think deeply, and then call it: Magic Crystal Cannon.

But every time the wizards in the wizard tower mentioned it, they would look at it subconsciously in awe, and then proudly called: Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon!

This is a product of the Arcane Empire period. It is very powerful and can be attacked in all directions from the commanding heights. Even if the ancient dragon sees it, it will break open the portal with its tail between its tails and escape.

The history of this wizard tower can be traced back to the beginning of Winter City, and it has accompanied Winter City from a humble town by the sea to its glory.

The most chaotic and turbulent year has passed, or it can also be called: the catastrophe of the saints!

This has slowly developed into what it is today.

It can be said that the wizard tower has made great contributions to the rise of the city and played a strategic deterrent role.

Although the owner of the wizard tower has changed many times over time, it is still the most dangerous existence in the entire Corina Peninsula!

“It’s a pity that I will be leaving tomorrow, otherwise I might be able to see the full power of the wizard tower in Winter City in times of crisis.” Thorne sighed with regret.

In the past, the small fight between the Winter City army and the gnolls was not worth the wizard’s tower, even if the gnolls attacked the tower in the first two months.

When the force was not very strong, only one large group (about 100) of constructive creatures was dispatched: the clay golem.

But this time is different. Thorne, who has lived here for nearly half a year, can feel the tension brought by the war from the frequent mobilization of troops in the city every day.

In particular, the port of Winter City is constantly transporting various military supplies every day. Players who make a living by loading, unloading and transporting at the dock can only be assigned to work for half a day at most.

Now I can often work for a whole day until it gets dark, and my life is quite moist, and I can go to Andrina’s bar for a drink every now and then.

“Can Winter City really get through the difficulties smoothly?” Thorne couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, even a low-level adventurer could feel it.

Thorne doesn’t believe that the high-level people of Winter City can’t feel the crisis from all directions. Either they have a plan, or they have already prepared a way out.

But war is cruel, and there is only one life, and Thorne does not want to leave his fate in the hands of others and pray for those unknown results.

Before the players had completely crossed over, a legendary battle took place in a city in the southern kingdom.

A nine-ring spell: Meteor Burst!

In an instant, a large number of melon-eating players standing on the city wall evaporated…

This makes the players truly realize the horror of this world. Although the technology of this world is not high, it is a high-magic world with extremely strong single destructive power.

In the turbulent years, even those gods who were high above and looked down on all living beings have fallen a lot, not to mention these insignificant players.

So Thorne doesn’t want to get involved in this melee!

The top of the Wizard’s Tower.

A pale blue light appeared on a portal made of a large number of precious gems and arcane materials.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow appeared, and when all the rays of light dissipated, the face of the figure was clearly revealed.

With the help of the light of various flashing magic lights in the tower, it can be found that this is a middle-aged human man with vicissitudes of life.

He was wearing a top-quality full-body armor that was as hard as his skin, and none of the black metal pieces connected to it were flat.

A pair of curved spikes protrude from the arm position of the armor, and each connection is protected by a sharp triangular thorn, which shows that it is not only excellent in defense, but also more offensive!

“Roselet, you interrupted a wizard’s contemplation, which makes me very uncomfortable!” The gray-robed wizard who sat cross-legged beside the crystal ball flickering with various sights said lightly.

“I’m really sorry! Wizard Kaladena, please don’t be nervous.” Rosslet said with a smile.

“Well… what’s the matter?” the wizard asked with a sigh.

“The situation is a little bad. We are going to be wrapped up tonight, old man.” Rosslet said solemnly when he walked to the crystal ball.

“If you’re just talking nonsense, then please go back.” Caladna said lightly, looking at the image in the crystal ball in front of him.

Rosslet stopped talking when he heard the words, but observed the images that were constantly being transmitted in the crystal ball.

The gnoll tribe in the wasteland that was approaching Winter City, the hobgoblin army walking out of the forest with various siege equipment, and the shadows that appeared from time to time on the coastline were all clearly displayed in front of the two of them.

When Rosslet saw the circular **** arena in Winter City and the nobles cheering loudly on the seats, his eyes instantly turned cold, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth:

“Cheer to your heart’s content, you will have a **** feast later!”

After speaking, Rosslet turned and walked to the window of the wizard tower, he looked down at the bustling Winter City and sighed: “These are all left by the ancestors, I didn’t expect that they will be lost from you and me. “

“Ancestors often said: people make things happen, and things happen in heaven! We didn’t do anything wrong, did we?” Wizard Kaladena said lightly, still staring at the images that were constantly being transmitted by the crystal ball in front of him.

“The wizard tower will be handed over to you, guardian of glory! In times of crisis, all you need to do is to evacuate quickly without hesitation. After all… it is the hard work left by the ancestors and cannot be destroyed in the hands of those scumbags!”

After Rosslet finished speaking, he stepped into the teleportation formation without hesitation, and the figure quickly disappeared under the shroud of light blue light.

dong dong dong!

At this moment, a heavy diamond golem stepped into the door and bowed his head to the wizard Karadna in front of him and said, “Dear Master, the energy reserve has been charged!”

“Very good!” Caladana’s turbid eyes flashed brightly, and after pondering for a while, he said, “Ta Ling, report the situation of the wizard tower.”

As soon as Kaladena’s voice fell, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said with a mechanical voice:

The wizard tower energy is ready…

The energy reserve is recharged…

The Clay Golem Team…

Stone Golems…

Iron Golem Squad…

on call…

Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon…

Maintenance completed…

works fine…
