From the moment he entered the tower, Grimwin had tried to find any traces of the battle, but unfortunately, there were none. And there were also no signs of injuries on the master and his apprentices. Looking at the outcome of the annihilated team of inspectors, one thing was almost certain — this was a one-sided massacre, the kind that had no ability to resist.
Was it a sudden attack that caused this group of Mages to lose their lives due to carelessness? What kind of attack could cause such a death? Many questions filled everyone's minds.
Grimwin could no longer bear the confusion in his heart and asked, "Mr. Cupwood, I wonder if your tower can provide the surveillance footage of that day to clarify some questions. Of course, this is the chairman's idea to only show it to the three Great Mages to confirm that you were defending yourself in the tower. It will not be made public. And the three Great Mages are me, the chairman, and the master of the west tower of Wulian City, Mr. Becker. "
"Of course, please follow me to the nuclear chamber. Because the chairman's original intention was not to make it public, I didn't cut out the footage of that day. Since Mr. Grimwin wants to confirm, you'll have to operate on the control panel of the nuclear chamber. "
After instructing the mourners to dispose of the bodies, Grimwin followed Lin's footsteps and walked to the third floor. Looking at the back of the man in front of him, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and the chill in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Going straight to the nuclear chamber on the third floor, the layout was not much different from what he saw the last time he came back. But the sense of oppression he felt all over his body was far from comparable to the last time. Grimwin was keenly aware that this was not caused by psychological factors, but a real sense of oppression from around his body. It was as if a high concentration of magic power was flowing all over his body.
The master of the tower, who sat back at the control panel, began to edit the film. Just like the previous time, the complexity of the situation was still so confusing that one could not make heads or tails of it. Grimwin's eyes were fixed on the image presented on the mirrored energy pool, watching the action of time quickly rewinding, for fear of missing any important information.
However, Lin, who was sitting at the control panel operating, was quite emotional. Thinking back to his old machine in college, he had to leave it for an entire night to run a movie for an hour and a half. Now, no matter what operation was done, as long as it was set and pulled out, it was done. So far, he still couldn't figure out the upper limit of the computing speed of the otherworldly version of the computer.
Not long after, the surveillance footage of the target time period was separately extracted. Lin also, with the assistance of the Master Wizard Grimwin, put the footage into the discussion section of the inspectors, and new events were discussed below. At the same time, the surveillance footage of that day, the video, was officially played.
There were three cameras in the hall, which meant there were three scenes. One of the shots was taken from the central stairwell towards the main entrance. From this shot, one could clearly see the faces of the five inspectors shrouded in black fog. One of the shots was taken from the main entrance. Other than the backs of the five inspectors, there was also the front view of the Tower Master and his two disciples. The last one was placed diagonally at the back of the hall. From there, one could see the entire hall.
The Four of the conversation conversation Lin's Of The Tower's Is The Inspector's to 'Lord
A magic missile broke the tranquility of the conversation. It could be seen clearly in the image that the energy missile pierced through the Master of The Tower's body, but it seemed to have passed through an illusion.
"Is this an illusion?" Grimwin asked in shock.
Pausing the surveillance footage, Lin stood up and said, "3D Imaging. It's actually a combination of Marshao's Puppet Spell and Ur's Phantom Spell. "As he spoke, he picked up the helmet beside him and put it on. Lin patted the magic stone on his right ear, and the illusion, which looked exactly like him, immediately walked towards them from the corner of the nuclear room.
Many of Lin's achievements were actually based on the existing magic knowledge of the Association. It was like writing a program on Earth. If you needed a function, you would first look for a library, and if the library didn't have it, you would write it yourself. It was the same in the maze. If you needed a function, you would first look for the magic knowledge that the Association could provide, and then analyze and rewrite it into what you needed.
Grimwin looked at the person walking towards them. The person was so lifelike that his every move was flawless. The Master of The Tower's illusion, however, began to explain naturally, "At first, my idea was that I didn't want to run up and down when I was receiving unimportant guests. That's why I borrowed the magic of my predecessors and designed an illusion that could appear anywhere in the Magic Tower at any time. Later, I found that it could also be used to protect myself against some ill-intentioned people, so that I wouldn't be killed immediately. So, for some hostile people, I also use such an illusion to meet them. "
He reached out his hand and directly passed through the illusion's body. It wasn't that Grimwin had never seen illusionary spells before, but there were always limitations and flaws. For example, the illusion in front of him, which, except for the fact that it didn't have a physical body, was almost identical to a real person in all its movements and appearances, but could make different movements from the real person. This was the first time he had seen a real illusion.
Grimwin didn't feel that such a life-saving spell was inappropriate. Although for some people, it was rather impolite for the Master of The Tower to not greet them in person, to be honest, it didn't constitute a reason to attack the tower. Although it was a very useful excuse, a hero was determined by success or failure. If they successfully captured and killed the Master of The Tower, disrespect was a major crime; if they failed and died, disrespect was insignificant.
After a brief understanding, Grimwin gestured to continue the scene of what happened that day. Lin dismissed the illusion and pressed the play button.
After a magic missile, the figures of the Master of The Tower and his apprentices gradually faded and even disappeared. It could be said that the hostility between the two parties was clear. The door and the central stairwell were all sealed, and the four doors on the first floor were all closed. However, the trap didn't activate immediately, giving the five inspectors time to discuss and talk.
Lin explained, "Although the door is closed, it's actually not completely sealed. A simple unlocking spell can open the door and leave. If you choose this path, the trap I set up won't activate. If you attack the stairwell, apart from activating the trap, the door will also be sealed a second time. By then, you can only spend time or force your way through to open the door. "
In the scene, Inspector Klaus attacked the central stairwell, and the trap was instantly activated. Grimwin watched the inconspicuous small beam of light cut a living person in half at the waist, and none of the magic equipment on his body was able to protect him.
Immediately after the second and third beam of light, the fourth beam of light that returned to the pattern of the first beam of light seemed to be an opportunity to break the trap. Just as Grimwin was thinking about this, the pattern on the scene suddenly changed into a net of beams of light that directly cut off the remaining four people. Moreover, there were three great mages among them, so they were caught off guard and couldn't use any life-saving means.
Grimwin also completely understood why the remains he just saw were in pieces. Putting himself in the shoes of the Master of The Tower, he found that in the trap, he would have ended up the same as everyone in the scene. Even now that he already knew the defensive measures of the Tower of the Great Sage, he couldn't find a way to protect himself or even counterattack the Master of The Tower.
Ignoring the cold sweat on his back and suppressing his voice, Grimwin forced himself to ask calmly, "Mr. Cupwood, what kind of magic is that beam of light?"
"It's improved with the Illumination Spell."
Damn it! Isn't the Illumination Spell only used for illumination? Grimwin shouted in his heart.
"Infusing high-intensity energy and focusing it in a small area can form this kind of beam of light. However, the related research is still in progress and hasn't been finalized, so this is at best an experimental trap. "
Experimental … Trap … You tricked three archmages and a team of inspectors. Could you be any more tricked than that? Grimwin scratched his head and roared in his heart. But on the surface, he still had to maintain his calm and asked tentatively, "Then, are you willing to turn in these spells?"
"These few? It's not useful for most people. "Lin didn't deliberately hide it and said honestly," Let's not talk about it first, I'm still studying it. These few spells can only be cast with the help of a Magic Tower and an energy pool, and ordinary mages can't use them even if they learn them. If you want to cast them forcefully, not to mention the complexity, your Magic Power Authority will probably be drained dry. "
"Tower magic?" Grimwin mentioned a large category in the world of magic according to the characteristics mentioned by Lin.
The common points of tower magic were that it was difficult to cast, consumed a lot of energy, and was powerful. So, it had to rely on the Magic Tower to set it up in advance in order to cast it smoothly. Generally, it referred to the strategic offensive magic array unique to Magic Towers, and was also the main reason why Magic Towers became war fortresses to guard a place and protect the civilized world.
And the version of this kind of magic that was cast by an individual was often rated as a forbidden spell by the Association. "Magic that is forbidden to be used under normal circumstances." Because this kind of magic usually affected a large area and was easy to injure by accident, it was used outside of war and the battlefield and would be severely punished by the Association.
In other words, the offensive magic array of a Magic Tower was used to deal with the outside world, against the army or magical beast horde, but this guy in front of him was casting a forbidden spell in his own tower.
Hmm, is that a violation of the rules? Grimwin was distressed. Not to mention that Cupwood's self-created magic had not been listed as a forbidden spell, the Association had no reason to regulate it. The biggest reason why a forbidden spell was a forbidden spell was that it was afraid that an attack with a large area would injure civilians by accident. And limiting the attack range to the interior of the Magic Tower eliminated the possibility of accidental injury, so there was no reason to ban it.
This seemed inappropriate, but no one said it was impossible. Grimwin really didn't know how to advise the Master of the Tower in front of him on what to do. At the same time, he could understand why the three Archmages and two Mages still lost their lives despite being fully equipped with magic tools and equipment, as well as a variety of auxiliary and defensive spells and life-saving means.
There were two recognized ways to deal with a forbidden spell. One was to interrupt the casting, and the other was to run as far as possible. Using one's physical body to take it, unless one became a god.
Perhaps he could report it to the President when he went back. Raise the danger level of the Tower of the Great Sage to Green, or even Cyan, which could only be assessed by a four-story tower. In the future, this kind of sh * t that would trouble the Master of the Tower should be avoided. Grimwin sighed in his heart.
But for the other party involved, limited by his limited vision, Lin didn't know how exaggerated his actions were. Because in other people's rumors, the Magic Tower was a dangerous place to begin with. Since he owned a tower, he would do whatever he wanted no matter how difficult it was.
