The stench of the abyss gradually spread out from the cracks. The forest outside the Tower of the Great Sage also showed signs of demonization in many places.
Regarding this, the mages spared no effort to prevent it, purify it, and improve it. Regarding the upcoming war, no one was willing to leave it to chance. The demons might put in some effort to tempt one or two humans. But when the demon army set foot on the land of the Lost Land, there would only be slaughter and nothing else.
Regarding the attitude of the original owner of the tower, although there were voices of criticism on the forum, and some even demanded that the original owner of the tower die as an apology for the invasion of the abyss, but such an attitude was very rare. Most of the mages remained silent. Occasionally, there would be voices that claimed to be more rational, saying that it was the duty of all mages to fight against the invasion of the abyss, and that the original owner of the tower's desertion was not desirable.
In any case, Lin and the others were ready to leave. Even though the chairman who agreed to this condition was under great pressure, and even took the risk of other mages not being willing to contribute in the upcoming war in order to protect themselves.
Although the chairman's people tried their best to defend themselves, saying that the original owner of the tower gave up a magic tower as the price, and that was enough. But it was inevitable that wealth would be used in exchange for survival, and some mages who were quite wealthy also had some ideas that they would not have had before.
The carts and horses transporting the war supplies finally arrived at the Tower of the Great Sage. The apprentices acted as coolies, moving the important items one by one into the temporarily built warehouse. The most important of all was, of course, the bags of military rations.
Mages were not like farmers who went out to fight with pitchforks. When the situation permitted, the food they ate and used were still rather high-end items. Of course, when the battle turned into a mess, it was not uncommon to chew on tree barks and grass roots.
But among the people moving the goods, there were two girls who were more eye-catching. They were moving the goods into the empty carriages. The woman, who was dressed strangely but was so beautiful that she did not seem to exist, stood beside the original owner of the tower, and said goodbye to the current owner, Chuck Weiss, who was also the commander in the preparation phase of the war.
People who did not have much of a relationship with each other, of course, would not have any feelings of reluctance to part, it was just a polite farewell. However, before leaving, Lin still left behind a gift. He carefully took out a small wooden box used for sealing and opened it in front of Chuck Weiss.
There was an inconspicuous Red Glow Magic Stone in the box. If it had been in the past, Chuck Weiss would have definitely punished the other party for giving such a gift in the name of rudeness. However, the person in front of him could not be reasoned with, so he patiently waited for the person who gave him the gift to explain.
Lin did not keep them in suspense and went straight to the point. "I know that many people have a lot of complaints and even distrust about a Magic Tower that they can't fully control. There's nothing I can do about it. Teaching you everything about this Magic Tower is not something that can be done in a short time. It was almost the fruit of my life's research. … "That being said, but it was just an excuse that someone used to evade." … So I left behind this Magic Stone. "
"For cleaning?" Although he didn't interrupt Lin's words, but Chuck Weiss still couldn't help repeating this rather attention-grabbing keyword in a low voice.
Lin took out the Red Glow Magic Stone and continued to explain: "This is only for the design of the Tower of the Great Sage. As long as it is placed on the input terminal of the control panel, the hidden program will eliminate all the programs of the Tower of the Great Sage and restore it to its original state. However, I can't do anything about the transformation of the tower. That part can only be slowly carried out manually in the future. "
Under Chuck Weiss's astonished gaze, Lin put the Magic Stone back into the box and closed it. The moment it was closed, the sealing magic array on the wooden box came into effect and tightly sealed the box.
However, Lin still considered it before handing the item in his hand to Chuck Weiss. He finally said earnestly: "This Magic Stone for cleaning is very convenient, but I still hope that Your Excellency will at least consider this matter after repelling the abyssal army or before the fall of the tower. Moreover, the server used by the forum is now built on the tower's energy pool. Removing all the programs also means that the forum will disappear. In the future, you can only find another Magic Tower and rebuild it. Therefore, please be careful about this choice. "
It has been three years and two months since he moved into the Tower of the Great Sage. It was neither too long nor too short. It would be unreasonable to say that Lin didn't have the slightest affection for this place. He invested so much effort, money, and made all kinds of transformations, these are not things that can be easily forgotten. Now, the Magic Stone's function is to negate everything of the past three years. How can he not be sad?
Chuck Weiss, who received the Magic Stone for cleaning, also had a lot of feelings. A few days ago, when his good friend suddenly died in the Tower of the Great Sage's trap, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any dissatisfaction with this person. However, when he saw that war preparations were in full swing outside the tower, he couldn't help but think about everything in front of him.
Fighting against the abyssal invasion is the unavoidable duty of every inhabitant of the mysterious land. However, before the Abyssal Gate was officially opened, the inhabitants of the mysterious land had already gathered and were ready to give the abyssal army a head-on blow.
The abyssal invasion of the mysterious land happened a few times in recorded history. All of them were forces that took shape and fought the abyssal army with real swords and spears. The biggest reason for this development was that the opening of the plane gap was not enough to attract attention in the early days.
In addition, the notification was slow. By the time the higher-ups realized that the situation was not good, the abyssal army would have already taken shape and started to pillage the surrounding areas. In other words, the situation had to be so bad that it attracted the attention of the inhabitants of the mysterious land.
Was there ever a time when the inhabitants of the mysterious land waited for the enemy to be exhausted and after they were ready to fight the abyssal army? In Sui Xiong's memory, there was no such thing. It was almost impossible for the war between the planes to end unless the war was fought to a pulp.
Now, as long as they did the right thing, they could take advantage of the fact that the abyssal army was still in a weak state and couldn't adapt to the situation. Then, they could push the abyssal army back and solve this world-class crisis with a small price.
The reason for all these advantages couldn't be bypassed by the forum and a series of related and convenient magic, such as the mail system. And these conveniences couldn't be bypassed by the original owner of the tower, the man who created all these.
Moreover, there was a crucial point in the original owner's actions. Chuck Weiss had seen a lot of bullsh * t when he followed his teacher who held an important position as the president. And the most despicable thing was to hide the good news and not report the bad news.
The real situation would only be revealed when things got out of hand. Then, his teacher and the higher-ups would be forced to clean up the mess and deal with the aftermath. At this time, even if they punished the person who hid the truth from the beginning, it would be useless.
Gabriel Lin Tripwood reported to the Association when the abyssal army first appeared. At the same time, he confirmed the existence of the abyssal gate. Although it was irreversible, the advantage of time was difficult to ignore.
Reclaiming the Magic Tower was more or less a punishment, but his teacher also tried his best to protect the original owner and didn't pursue any more serious crimes. At the end of the day, the opening of the abyssal gate was obviously a conspiracy against the original owner of the tower. The blame shouldn't be placed on him.
Although emotionally, being forced to face the abyssal army made him feel that he had suffered an undeserved disaster. The resentment toward the original owner of the tower was more of a collateral anger. The conspirator hiding behind the scenes was definitely not the original owner of the tower himself.
In any case, he opened the abyssal gate, reported it to the higher-ups, and then paid the price of a Magic Tower, almost losing everything he had. If such a statement was reasonable, it would be like insulting his own intelligence. The conspirator was still hiding.
Watching the original owner of the tower leave in the carriage, Chuck Weiss actually hoped that the person would stay and lead everything in this Magic Tower. Since he moved in, he had created many unbelievable miracles. So as long as he was still there, there would be more confidence in resisting the abyssal invasion. Unfortunately, in reality, such a thing was not allowed to happen.
The original owner of the tower being able to leave safely was already the best result. As long as he didn't agree to hand over the Magic Tower, the Association would have no other choice but to attack the tower. This meant that before the abyssal army appeared, the humans would have to wear each other out.
Even after a rough understanding of this tower, Chuck Weiss felt that it was a little uncertain whether the sorcerer alliance could succeed in attacking the tower. The abyssal army would be slaughtered by the Tower of the Great Sage before they could wipe out the alliance.
In short, this was the best result.
Under everyone's gaze, the carriage team carrying the original owner of the tower left slowly and gradually accelerated. Two huge dog-shaped magical beasts followed behind, one on the left and one on the right. The group of mages gathered here watched the original owner of the tower leave, but they all had different thoughts.
As they sat in the carriage and watched the magic tower that they had lived in for three years leave, the two girls were extremely reluctant to part with it, but they didn't complain. At this moment, they couldn't help but ask, "Will there be a time when we come back?"
"There won't be any." Lin Li answered quickly. When he noticed that the three women were looking at him, he added, "If there's a chance in the future, of course, I'll find a better pagoda to live in. Otherwise, I'll build one that I'm satisfied with. Why did we come back here? This used to be the opening location of the Gate of the Abyss, even though the humans paid a huge price to close the gate. But the plane gap that was torn open had long become a weak point of space. There were many cases of demons plotting to open the Gate of the Abyss at the same place again. So why must we be neighbors with demons? Isn't it better to find another place to live? "
It sounded like a very strong reason, but it couldn't alleviate the grievances in the girls' hearts. They pouted, puffed up their cheeks, and turned to look at the Magic Tower that was getting further away.
