"White Dragon Mountain isn't a monolithic entity, there are many factions. I do hate those two emissaries to the core, but I don't have any conflict with these two powerhouses in front of me. Moreover, they're here specifically to help me solve this problem," Garon retorted. "I don't have the habit of pushing away my helpers."
He looked at Kratos.
"However, you, Kratos, had a grudge with me back then. You clearly knew that these two sirs were here specifically to get in touch with me, but you still came along. In addition to what you said just now, are you sure you're not here to drive a wedge between us?!"
As soon as he said this, the two old men looked at Kratos with a slightly strange gaze.
Kratos' face flushed red as he glared at Garon hatefully. For a moment, he did not know what to say. His attitude of driving a wedge between them earlier was a little too obvious, so it was not good for him to refute it now.
"Alright, both of you, please take a step back. After all, Kratos is here on behalf of Wanku Fortress. He's here on official business this time, "the amiable old man quickly smoothed things over.
"Hmph," the other old man snorted coldly. His gaze on Kratos was also somewhat unfriendly.
Kratos knew that he could not stay any longer, so he might as well leave. Before he left, he glared fiercely at Garon.
Garon hesitated for a moment, but he did not make a move in the end.
Kratos was here on behalf of Wanku Fortress. If he made a move on him, it would be the same as making a move on Wanku Fortress. It would definitely infuriate the Fortress Master of Wanku, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
Moreover, since he dared to come alone, he must have made full preparations. It would be troublesome if he could not hold him back after making a move.
After pacifying the two old men, Garon sent someone to follow Kratos. As expected, this fellow had a bodyguard. It was another mysterious character from the Chinese Valentine's Day who followed closely behind him.
After settling the two old men down, Garon turned and left the mansion, bringing along two people from the White Feather Guards, and went straight to an underground cave outside the city.
*****
After entering the underground cave, he turned here and there in the dark tunnel. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a stone wall at the end of the cave finally appeared in front of him.
Garon signaled the two White Feather Guards behind him to stop, and he walked forward alone.
With a light bump. The stone wall instantly faded away like an illusion, and Garon was teleported into another dark, ancient palace.
The hall was filled with a faint, illusory fog. When you weren't paying attention, you would feel like you were surrounded by fog. But when you looked closely at the fog, you would realize that it didn't exist at all. It was just the refraction of light.
Several figures had already gathered in the hall.
Seeing Garon enter, the figures all turned their heads.
"Commander, why did you summon us in such a hurry?" A figure asked in a hoarse voice.
"Something big is about to happen, and now is the critical moment. Let's avoid meeting as much as possible. So as to avoid any unexpected twists and turns, "another person said in a low voice.
"I'm here because I have a very troublesome matter that requires your assistance," Garon said seriously.
The group in front of him was a small group called Proof of Lies. It was an underground organization. The weakest of the members was at least Level 12, and one of them even had the faint aura of a demigod.
A Demigod! That was an existence as powerful as Lady Vengeance's true body, and could be the Fortress Master of a fortress in the Ten Thousand Abyss Plains!
Such an existence actually appeared in such a small group. This was also the key reason why Garon treated this group so seriously.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had Ann behind him, he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to these existences on equal footing.
Although Proof of Lies still respected him, they were not his subordinates. When they heard that he needed assistance, they instantly fell silent.
"This matter can even help us get more souls and prepare for the big event that's about to happen," Garon smiled slightly. "Haven't you been troubled by the source of the top-notch souls?"
"Oh? Do you have a way? "The leader of Proof of Lies, who seemed to be a demigod, spoke.
Garon smiled.
"Perhaps not a way, but there are two ready-made souls …"
"If the Deception Demon Master's sacrifice can produce two more top-notch souls, perhaps it can increase the speed of this lord's recovery power even faster?"
"What about the unrest that might be caused?" The leader of Proof of Lies frowned. "Every Level-15 Peak powerhouse has a foundation. At this level, even if they die, their souls will be taken back by the God they believe in. Once the souls are plundered, our troubles will be endless."
"I'm not afraid of trouble." Garon's face darkened. "Moreover, didn't we come to this world to create trouble?"
He was now stuck at a bottleneck. There were only two places where he could hope to break through Level-12. One was divinity research, but he needed the Wizard Tower to isolate the God's senses.
The other was his newly discovered way to use the Enneahedron and the evolution of the Void Original Opus.
In this short period of close to a year, he saw with his own eyes that a Void Creature used the Enneahedron to go on a killing spree in just a few months. From less than Level-8, it quickly rose to Level-13. The speed was so fast that even Garon was dumbfounded.
After rushing to Level-13, these Void Creatures finally stopped, as if they had reached a bottleneck. But this speed of improvement was far beyond Garon's original speed.
According to his secret observation, those Void Creatures seemed to be the souls of middle-level Demon Lords. Just like him, they had all kinds of special abilities, many tricks, and extremely strong survivability.
If it were not for this layer of relationship with Ann, Garon would not have been able to sit firmly in the position of Deputy Commander.
He discussed with the people of Proof of Lies how to contact them.
Only then did Garon leave the Hall of Lies. He brought two guards who knew nothing and were only responsible for protecting him back to the fortress.
The bloody battle was about to begin again. This was also an opportunity …
Garon's Wizard Tower was also lacking a Tower Spirit. This problem was easy to solve. He was not at ease with using any other creature's soul as a Tower Spirit. Garon decided not to use the Tower Spirit directly. He connected the Wizard Tower with his Willpower Brain and used his Energy Machinist Computing Core to directly control the Wizard Tower.
Anyway, the Willpower Brain's computing power was extremely terrifying. Controlling a mere Wizard Tower was not a problem.
Finally, after solving the problem of the Tower Spirit, the Wizard Tower ushered in its final completion.
*****
The tall, white, slender Wizard Tower slowly turned.
There were floating construction platforms flying around it. On these gray floating platforms sat mages and demons in charge of inspection.
The surrounding Wizard Group in charge of construction was also on the side, closely monitoring all kinds of data and changes.
A huge crystal stone with complicated colorful lines floated on the side of the Wizard Tower, showing the balance of various elements in it at all times.
Hundreds of Level Six and above Wizards and spellcasting creatures surrounded it. Garon was surrounded by people and stood less than two hundred meters away from the Wizard Tower. He raised his head and looked at the tall tower that pierced the sky from within the fortress.
Many people in the surrounding area had been temporarily cleared to prevent accidents from causing casualties.
But even so, there were still many onlookers who came to watch the show. Some of them were demons, some were travelers from other planes, and there were also Void Creatures. They were all looking at this side from afar.
The entire Wizard Tower was located at the bottom left corner of the fortress, close to the original position of the city wall. However, because Garon had expanded the fortress by a large area, it formed a huge oval here. This also made the Wizard Tower the center of this oval.
"The final Divine Barrier solidification." The high-level Wizard in charge of construction clapped his hands.
An old and frail Level Nine Peak Wizard slowly stepped forward and floated up.
Divine Barrier was a classical spell with a fixed formula. It was a Level Nine spell, so any Level Nine Wizard could cast it. However, solidifying this spell required a huge price.
Generally, when solidifying a spell of the same level, the spellcaster's casting level would instantly drop from the peak to the level that just entered this level. This was the price of one whole level. At the same time, as a Level Nine spell, solidifying a spell of this level would also consume the spellcaster's lifespan.
The old Wizard used this solidification as the price in exchange for Garon's care for his son, a Level Five Wizard.
And such a huge Wizard Tower would consume a shocking amount of lifespan and Mind Power.
After this solidification, his remaining lifespan of more than ten years would be exhausted and he would completely die. Although there were many strong people in the Abyss, a Level Nine Wizard could still do a lot of things. He was still considered a middle to high level powerhouse.
Just dying because of a solidified spell would be a loss to any force.
Looking at the old Wizard's back as he stepped forward, Garon lowered his head slightly to show his respect.
He lowered his head, and the rest of the powerhouses also lowered their heads to show their respect.
The old Wizard was wearing a somewhat tattered robe. He stretched out his skinny arm and slowly pointed at the huge Wizard Tower.
A pure white halo bloomed from his arm.
Halo after halo, more and more, densely packed together to form a pure white disc on the old Wizard's hand.
The disc was covered with countless fine circular runes as if they were solid.
The old Wizard focused on the disc in his hand. His face quickly withered, and his already weak muscles quickly shriveled up. His face, which was originally a little red, gradually turned pale. It was as if all the life in his body had gathered on the white disc in his hand.
He began to chant a spell in a low voice. The disc also began to swim, and tiny tadpole-like runes appeared.
As he chanted faster and faster, more and more runes appeared on the disc.
Suddenly, he waved his arm.
The disc shot out with a bang and smashed into the Wizard Tower in front of him.
Buzz!!!
Like a stone smashed into water, countless transparent spatial ripples appeared on the surface of the Wizard Tower.
The sky suddenly darkened. A pure white light descended from the sky and landed on the Wizard Tower. Even the blood-red sun of the Abyss could not hide it.
This was a moment of brilliance that was exchanged with ten years of lifespan and all the life force.
The old Wizard's body slowly turned into spots of light and dissipated.
Garon faintly heard the young man's sobbing and sighed slightly.
"Cold Winter Tower, from today onwards, is officially completed!"
His voice was directly vibrated by the effects of the spell and spread to the ears of all the creatures around him.
The two old Ancient Dragons from White Dragon Mountain also heard the commotion from afar, and they cast their gazes over from afar.
