While Elder Kyle was looking for a way to get out, Dana was running around the Magic Tower in a hurry.
Whistling sounds were still coming from inside the tower. It was obviously the alarm after the "defense mode" was activated. The sorcerers and apprentices who were living a leisurely life in the tower were all alarmed. Dana ran all the way to the top of the tower and saw many confused faces. However, he had no time to care about these people's emotions, because he first had to explain to the other arcanists what had happened.
The control core of the Magic Tower was located at the top of the tower, but the top floor was a forbidden area for them. Only Dominic was qualified to enter that area. Dana, as his assistant, lived on the 22nd floor. He stepped on the self-moving stairs and went up. After a few turns, he soon came to the meeting room next to his lab.
This was the place where all the arcanists held their meeting. After hearing the alarm, all the arcanists would come quickly.
When he opened the door, Dana was not surprised to see all the arcanists in the Magic Tower gathered together. Dominic had left eight arcanists in the Magic Tower. Except for himself and another arcanist named Bruce, who had the power of a "sorcerer", all the others were below the "sorcerer" level. But the power of the arcanists in the Magic Tower could not be measured by common sense. However, strength could not be measured by common sense in the magic tower, because these people all wore "exemption badges", had the qualification to cast spells, and were not affected by "space-time suppression".
Also, except for Dominic, who could control the core, all the others who entered the Magic Tower would be restricted to the power of a "sorcerer" level.
This kind of barrier was so powerful that no one could resist it. However, when the "defense mode" was activated, the arcanists could not help but feel confused. After seeing Dana, another assistant, Bruce, frowned and asked, "What happened? Did you open the entrance of the Magic Tower? "
Of course, Dana told them the truth and told them the news of "Elder Dominic's death". As expected, all the arcanists changed their expressions and looked panicked.
Bruce was a little bit better. He reacted quickly and asked, "But why did you open the door for Elder Kyle?"
He squinted his eyes and said coldly, "You're Kyle's man?!"
"Kyle planted a spy in Tari, but it definitely wasn't me." Daina had no choice. He knocked on the table. "That's not the point. Now that Dominic is dead, this isn't your first day in this Magic Tower. To be honest, do any of you think you have the right to own this tower?"
Daina was smart enough to understand what these people were thinking. Although the sorcerers in the Magic Tower had their own circles, their level was not high, and they all knew that they were still far from being qualified as elders. If they recklessly seized the Magic Tower, not only would they not be able to use most of the functions of the Magic Tower, but they would also get into trouble because of their wealth — sooner or later, they would be taken away by someone more powerful.
Instead of that, they might as well suck up to the other elders. At least they could get a good position and enjoy good resources.
More importantly, as the sorcerers in the Magic Tower, they knew better than anyone else how terrifying this Magic Tower could be. Even after Dominic claimed control of the Magic Tower, more than four arcanists had still disappeared in the Magic Tower. Until now, no one had heard of them, and no one had found their bodies. Therefore, as a group of weak arcanists, they could not even have the strong desire to fight for the control of the Magic Tower.
"Let's put Elder Kyle aside. When I opened the door, Elder Aubrey also came. Obviously, they were going to enter the Magic Tower together to fight for the control. Maybe they're all in the Magic Tower now, so we'd better wait and see — "
The rest of the arcanists and Bruce looked at each other. They did not expect the situation to be so complicated. They thought that the news of Dominic's death was just a cover, but now it seemed to be true. After all, Dana did not have to make up a lie about two elders fighting for the control of the Magic Tower. Obviously, the Magic Tower's "defense mode" coincided with the fight between the two elders.
After a brief discussion, they quickly expressed that they would listen to whoever controlled the core of the Magic Tower.
They had no choice … As high-rank arcanists living under someone else's roof, without protection and resources, they would never be able to make any progress. The arcanists in the Holy Assembly were not like sorcerers. If it were an ordinary sorcerer, Bruce and Dana would have no problem setting up their own faction. However, as an arcanist, before they had the strength of an elder, they definitely did not have this choice.
After a moment of silence, Bruce finally said, "… Let's not talk about who controls the Magic Tower in the end. Now that the Magic Tower has entered a passive defense mode, none of us can change it. You know, in this state, the Magic Tower is closed, and we can't even observe the outside. "
"Then what should we do? Can't we stop this ward? "
Dana did not know the defense mechanism of the Magic Tower as well as Bruce did, because Bruce had been assisting Dominic when he controlled the Magic Tower. Therefore, everyone was waiting for Bruce's answer to this question.
"This ward was set up by the original owner of the Magic Tower. Even Elder Dominic doesn't have the authority to control it." Bruce pointed upstairs. "When the owner of the Magic Tower is not here, any violent magic wave near the Magic Tower will be regarded as a provocation, and then the ward will be activated. Speaking of which, this' ward 'is a maze put together by a large number of independent' demiplanes'. I heard from Elder Dominic that … when he was here, he could control and activate the traps and mechanisms in these 'demiplanes' to kill or capture any enemy who entered. But now that he is dead, these traps will not be activated. "
He pointed downwards. "If I remember correctly, this' maze 'also has an end. If the enemy is lucky enough, they will eventually reach the' end ', and there is a specially reinforced' prison 'on the 23rd floor."
Hearing the word 'prison', the arcanists all looked enlightened.
"When the time comes, all we need to do is to open the 'prison' and let Elder Dominic and his team out."
Dai Na added. Everyone nodded silently. However, someone still couldn't help but mumble, "Isn't it tiring to play so many tricks?"
Many arcanists agreed, but they were quite confused. Weren't the protective wards supposed to keep the enemy out? Why did they have to go through so much trouble to let the enemy in? If they wanted to kill them, they could just kill them directly. Why did they have to go through so many twists and turns?
This was the result of different times. Obviously, these arcanists did not know that the main purpose of this defense system was to guard against a large number of demons.
With the opened Magic Tower as bait, hundreds of complicated 'demiplanes' were gathered inside the tower. The actual area of the tower was almost equivalent to a huge plain with strategic depth.
In other words, it was like a 'pitcher plant' with unlimited capacity. Those who were greedy for delicious food would eventually die in the hundreds of 'demiplanes' in the tower. Even if they survived, they would be locked in the huge prison and be at Edith's mercy.
Dai Na had some guesses about this, but he had never experienced a tidal wave of demons, so he naturally could not imagine it. However, he was obviously satisfied with the current decision. "We have no other choice. But I guess the one who will come out in the end is still Elder Kyle. After all, no one in the Magic Tower can cast spells. Elder Aubrey and his sorcerers are probably no match for the Arcane Warriors. "
