Just when Crawford thought that he might be smashed to death against the wall, the entire phantom rapidly disappeared due to a lack of energy. However, the mental attack that followed closely behind was unavoidable, causing his vision to go black. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
The Wings of the Ice Dragon had shaken off a lot of the decorative white marble on the wall of the Magic Tower, but the "core chamber" was not damaged at all.
Similarly, Roddy and Kardashian, who had just cast the spell, had been sucked into the "Prison of Time and Space" and disappeared.
Crawford lay on the ground, unconscious. His robe was cut a few times, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Two minutes later, his subordinates finally arrived. The arcanists panicked when they saw the situation in front of them, and they rushed over while screaming in panic.
"Elder Crawford!"
They hurriedly helped Crawford up, only to find that he had only passed out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gulped down the healing potions. They surrounded the elder and ran back and forth, completely unaware of the Confinement Sphere that was glowing faintly not far away.
This floor could basically be regarded as the top area of the "Helsinki Magic Tower". Because the battle started suddenly and ended quickly, the surroundings were unbelievably quiet. So when the tower suddenly shook slightly, everyone noticed that something was wrong.
The arcanists and arcane warriors looked at each other. Although they were wearing the emblem, they could not feel where the vibration came from. Fortunately, after a slight shake, the sound around them quickly disappeared. The arcanists waited for a while and finally said hesitantly, "It should be … okay."
They waited like this for more than ten minutes, and nothing unusual happened around them. The arcanists finally felt relieved. The deputy temporarily ordered the team to disperse. They could not just stand there like idiots. The bodies on the lower floor had to be dealt with, and the original apprentices in the tower had to be comforted and explained. If there was any unnecessary conflict, the elder would definitely not want to see the consequences.
As for the "core chamber", these arcanists were a little hesitant to open it. After all, they did not see clearly what happened just now. Who knew if there was a trap inside? If they touched something that they should not touch, they would not be able to bear the elder's blame.
It could be seen from this that Crawford's prestige was so great that no one dared to overstep his boundaries even when he was unconscious.
Lying on the floor, Crawford finally woke up after half an hour of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes and saw that his arcanists were all around him. Crawford sat up and raised his hand to cast a Detect Spell. He excitedly discovered that there were no other enemies in the surroundings. He immediately said, "Come with me. The two attackers were imprisoned by the Magic Tower's barrier. I don't know when they will come out. Once they appear, kill them immediately!"
He had just clearly seen the dragon horns on Kardashian's head, but so what? In the past, Crawford might not have dared to offend the Dragons. But now that the "Hercino Magic Tower" was within his reach, the Dragons were nothing to him.
Crawford tried hard to suppress the smug expression on his face as he walked to the center of the "core room". His eyes swept across the mirror-like crystal walls with a burning gaze. "Then … how do I find the key?"
The "key" he was talking about was naturally not a physical object.
Crawford was not completely clueless. He owned a similar Magic Tower himself, so he was very sure that this was the key location to control the "Hercino Magic Tower." What he needed to find was a magic circle that could allow a sorcerer to interfere with his spiritual power …
He glanced around and suddenly remembered that the two people who attacked him when he was unconscious seemed to have thrown something out. After thinking carefully, Crawford walked to the crystal ball embedded in the pedestal.
"What is this?"
The "Confinement Ball" was no longer glowing or vibrating. It looked like an ordinary glass ball. However, when Crawford reached out his hand, the ground under his feet shook slightly.
He turned around abruptly and found that the arcanists and arcane warriors around him were slightly bending their legs and looking around vigilantly, fearing that the vibration would cause them to fall.
"Elder, when you were unconscious just now, the Magic Tower also experienced a similar vibration," an arcanist reported.
Crawford nodded and thought about the possible causes of the vibration in his mind. However, after thinking about it, he realized that he still needed to control the Magic Tower to know everything. He turned his gaze back to the "Confinement Ball" and reached out to grab it. However, the strange touch made him immediately realize that he did not touch the surface of the ball, but was blocked by a layer of energy film.
"This is …"
Before his voice died away, the surroundings suddenly lit up. Crawford and his subordinates suddenly looked around and found that the mirror-like crystals in their field of vision were changing layer by layer!
The entire "core chamber" originally only relied on the faint white light coming from above to illuminate everything, but now the surrounding crystals showed a brighter light layer by layer, even to the point that it was dazzling to the eyes. They covered their eyes with their hands and slowly adapted to the light. Only then did they see everything around them. The crystals had completely turned into "windows". As far as the eyes could see, the surrounding walls seemed to have disappeared. Looking down from the top of the tower that was forty meters high, the surroundings were no longer the boundless forest and snow of Brill Forest. Instead, it was a large area of neatly organized buildings, bustling crowds, and the faraway border of the city wall …
"Elder, what … what's going on?"
An Arcane Warrior asked on behalf of the crowd, but Crawford obviously had never seen such a scene before. Right now, they seemed to have come directly to a strange city. They turned around and looked behind the elder, dumbfounded.
Because there stood an even larger Magic Tower, and hundreds of meters above the Magic Tower, a Floating-Space Tower was slowly rotating.
Looking around, there were also more than ten Floating-Space Towers in the low-altitude range of nearly a hundred meters.
Such an obvious feature immediately made everyone think of the name of a city: Elsen City!
Crawford pretended to be calm and said in a low voice, "Maybe this Magic Tower has something to do with Elsen City in the past. That's why it is showing such an image now."
Turning around, he found that the "grooves" around him had sunk into the ground, and there was an empty space in the center of the whole room. Looking closely, the lines on the ground were obviously the "control panel" of the core magic circle of the Magic Tower!
"It's here!"
Crawford was ecstatic. He thought that this was a sign that the Magic Tower was ready to "hand over control." He stepped towards the center of the magic circle, but when he walked to the center, he found that there was a white crystal floating there.
Before he could cast a spell to detect the crystal, it suddenly shattered, and then turned into a piece of intertwining light and shadow.
In the blink of an eye, a faint silhouette appeared in front of Crawford. The silhouette was dressed in a simple pure white robe, and her long gray hair was draped over her shoulders. A breathtakingly beautiful face was slowly lifted, and her calm gaze seemed unfocused. However, as her body gradually solidified, a shocking aura spread.
"Ta."
Wearing delicate leather boots, Edith, who was almost as tall as Crawford, gently landed on the ground. She looked down at her hands, and when she raised her eyes again, the focus of her eyes finally focused on the people in front of her …
A light that seemed to have the rhythm of a heartbeat spread from under her feet, making people feel as if the Magic Tower had suddenly come to life.
Standing in front of her, Crawford's face was pale, and he could not help but take a few steps back. His original excitement and joy immediately fell to the bottom — he realized that he might have awakened someone he should not have awakened, and the only way to remedy it now was to fight back!
"Kill her!"
Along with this sentence, Crawford and the arcanists around him who had been nervous for a long time raised their wands at the same time, but the expected magic storm did not erupt … All the spells that were condensed in the middle completely dissipated, and there was not even a spark before they were directly annihilated!
The Arcane Warrior next to him pulled out his sword and slashed, and the blade went straight through Edith's body … Obviously, her body was not even an energy body, but a phantom projected by the light and shadow inside the tower.
