Thud, thud, thud …
Dense and messy footsteps echoed in the quiet and narrow corridor. Under the dim light, Speck looked up. The complex and wonderful arcane runes were like the Milky Way in the night sky, making her feel an indescribable sense of intoxication and awe.
To Arcanists, everything in the Pasha Magic Tower was like a priceless treasure, full of temptation.
As descendants of the High Elves, the members of the Holy Assembly believed that arcane magic was the most powerful force in the world. In the Holy Assembly's own words, they controlled the power of God.
And the end of the Arcanist's path was what people called "God."
Indeed … low-level Arcanists like Speck were far from being "God," but this didn't stop them from yearning for this realm. Now, looking at the dazzling relics of the High Elves in the Pasha Magic Tower, although they didn't say anything, their hearts were all stirred up.
"Our mission is to find the 'Energy Replenisher.' After ensuring that our primary goal is accomplished, we can study the remaining books here."
Speck's order made her subordinates instantly perk up. Obviously, "studying the books" often meant that they could secretly fill their own pockets.
The interior of the Pasha Magic Tower was spacious, but the structure was extremely complicated. Standing in the center of the tower and looking up, the only thing that could be seen was the countless overlapping stairs and corridors that were nearly a hundred meters high.
The irregular structure of the building puzzled Captain Speck, but in order to find the "energy filler", they had no choice but to start searching from the first floor. But before long, they were blocked by a thin figure.
The High Elf looked at them with a confused look. The simple robe he wore showed that he was an Arcanist's Apprentice, the lowest level of the High Elf Magician system.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? "
He didn't show much hostility toward Speck and the others, but he was more on guard. However, the team of the Holy Assembly naturally wasn't here for sightseeing. Speck stepped forward and said bluntly, "We want to take a look at the 'Energy Refill'."
The High Elf frowned and said warily, "I don't know how you came in, but I can't let you see the 'Energy Replenisher.' Please leave immediately!"
"In that case, this thing is indeed here."
Speck narrowed her eyes and sneered. She raised her hand and pointed. The Arcanists behind her instantly released a large mass of light, firmly restraining the apprentice in place …
"Then … are you willing to lead the way for us now?"
Speck's sneering face sent a shiver down the apprentice's spine. He wanted to yell and resist, but he was tortured by the arcane spells of the "Holy Assembly" until he screamed in agony. Within a few minutes, he was completely subdued. Dejectedly, he led the apprentices to a corridor that led underground.
The Holy Assembly had never been a charity organization. This could be seen from the fact that they were willing to sacrifice Camilla. Using arcane spells to torture and interrogate the High Elves was also not a problem for Speck.
After walking underground for a few minutes, the group arrived in front of a secret room. Speck hesitated for a moment. Finally, she used the scroll of the Holy Assembly to open the sealed door. She then pushed the High Elf and stepped into the secret room at the bottom of the Pasha Magic Tower …
All the members of the Holy Assembly were attracted by the arcane runes they had never seen before in the secret room. They did not notice the flash of excitement and agitation in the Arcanist's eyes.
"The Energy Replenisher is here?"
In the circular room, a metal device was placed in the center of the room. Speck looked left and right but could not confirm that it was what they were looking for. The Holy Assembly only knew of the existence of the "Energy Replenisher" but never had an accurate description of it. So now, the captain thought for a moment and reached out to take an "Energy Replenisher" from the hands of an Arcanist.
The crystal shone with a faint blue luster. It clearly contained some energy.
"Charge it for us to see. Prove that this is the 'Energy Replenisher.'"
Speck ordered the High Elf, but the High Elf was not willing to cooperate. But under the "spur" of a few Arcanists, he finally limped towards the center of the room …
The Arcanists of the Holy Assembly were on guard for any accidents. But because they were standing at the door, they could not see the increasingly excited smile on the young Arcanist's face …
The "Energy Replenisher" was placed in the groove of the strange device. A faint blue light suddenly bloomed and then collapsed towards the crystal …
"Looks like it's right."
After feeling the magical aura that gushed out like a tsunami, Speck's tensed nerves finally relaxed. To her, the mission of the "Holy Assembly" had been completely completed.
But just as this thought appeared in his mind, the elements in front of him that seemed to be spreading out like a geyser made him frown … Logically speaking, this energy should be charging into the inside of the crystal, but the current situation was like — — — — —
Elemental diffusion?
"What's going on?!"
He shouted. But then he saw the High Elf standing in front of him slowly open his arms, as if a dry land was receiving the once-in-a-few years rain …
"Damn it! Stop him! "
Although Speck did not understand what was going on, his instinctive sense of danger made him immediately decide to act. As soon as he gave the order, the Arcanists around him immediately threw more than ten offensive spells at the center of the room!
The explosion in the enclosed space was far more powerful than in the open space. The explosion was deafening, and the whole room shook for a moment.
When the smoke and dust settled, the Arcanist apprentice who was originally standing in the same place had become a pile of minced meat.
Speck let out a sigh of relief. But then he realized that the turbulent flow of elements around him showed no signs of stopping … All the attacks were ineffective in front of that strange device!
"No …"
An ominous premonition arose in his heart. His eyes stared at the corpses all over the ground, but he felt that the other party could not have died so easily.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Speck immediately heard footsteps coming from behind him. The Arcanists of the "Holy Assembly" all turned around, and saw that hidden doors had suddenly opened in the corridor behind them. One by one, High Elf Arcanists wearing various types of robes slowly walked out. They looked different and had different levels, but all of their expressions were shockingly similar. Their gazes were all focused on Speck.
"The 'Energy Replenishment Device' that you want, there are 27 of them in this city. But here, there is not even one … "
More than 20 Arcanists were like puppets being collectively controlled, saying the same thing at the same time.
Their completely different voices mixed together, but all of them were filled with arrogance and mockery. "However, I still have to thank you for opening these seals left behind by Cadgar …"
Speck and the others' expressions changed drastically. They all realized at the same time that they seemed to have fallen into a huge trap the moment they entered this city!
"It really wasn't easy to lure you all here … But in order to recover my power, what does it matter if I am humiliated a few times by you all …?"
As the elemental light intensified, the High Elf Arcanists suddenly raised their hands in unison. Before Speck could even react, the violent elemental energy blasted onto her body.
Speck was sent flying without any suspense.
"Bang!"
His body directly smashed a hole in the wall, and the terrifying power instantly shattered all the bones in Speck's body. He did not even have time to say half a word before he stopped breathing …
The remaining members of the "Holy Assembly" were dumbfounded. They raised their hands and prepared to fight back, but then they realized that more and more High Elf Arcanists were surging out from behind the hidden stone doors on both sides of the corridor.
All the High Elves' expressions were abnormally stiff, but their eyes shone with a fiery light. They slowly opened their mouths, and the countless echoes of their words became the Arcanists' worst nightmares.
