From the moment he entered the tower, Greenwin tried to find any trace of the aftermath of the battle, but unfortunately there was none. There were also no signs of injury to the three masters and apprentices of the tower. Seeing the ending of the inspector team being wiped out, one thing is almost certain, this is a one-sided massacre, the kind that has no ability to resist.
Was it the sudden attack that caused these magicians to lose their lives due to carelessness? What kind of attack could cause such death? Many questions filled everyone's minds.
Greenwin could no longer bear the confusion in his heart and asked: "Your Excellency Tripwood, I wonder if Guita can provide the surveillance footage of that day to clarify some issues. Of course, this is the president's intention, and it is only given to three people. The great magician watched to confirm that you were defending yourself in the tower. This will not be announced. The three great magicians are me, the president, and the owner of the west tower of Wulian City, Mr. Becker."
"Of course, please come with me to the core room. Because the president originally wanted not to make it public, I did not cut out the footage of that day. Since Lord Greenwen wants to confirm, he has to operate it on the core room console. .”
Instructing the mourners to handle the body, Greenwin followed Lin's footsteps to the third floor. Looking at the back of the person in front of him, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the chill in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Going straight to the core room on the third floor, the layout was not much different from what I saw when I came back last time. But the pressure felt throughout his body was far from comparable to the previous time. Greenwin was keenly aware that this was not caused by psychological factors, but by a real sense of oppression from around his body. It was as if a high concentration of magical power was flowing throughout his body.
The tower owner sat back at the console and began editing the video. Just like last time, the complexity is still confusing. Greenwin's eyes were fixed on the picture displayed on the mirror energy pool, watching the rapid rewind of time, and he was afraid of missing any important information.
However, Lin, who was sitting in front of the console and operating, was quite emotional. Thinking back to the old machine from my college days, I had to leave it alone all night to turn on a movie for an hour and a half. No matter what operation you do now, you just need to set it up, pull it out, and it's done. Since the construction of the alien version of the computer, the upper limit of its computing speed has not yet been determined.
After a while, the surveillance footage of the target time period was individually captured. Lin also put the clip into the Ombudsman discussion area under the new event discussion thread with the help of the great magician Greenwin. After setting the viewing permissions at the same time, the surveillance footage of the day was officially played.
There are three cameras in the hall, so there are three pictures. One shot was taken from the central stairwell towards the main entrance. This shot can clearly see the front faces of the five inspectors shrouded in black mist. One shot is from the gate looking in. In addition to the back of the five inspectors, this shot also includes the front of the three masters and apprentices of the tower. The last one is placed diagonally behind the hall, so you can see the entire hall.
The sound of conversation was still clear. Greenwen listened carefully to every word. The name Koos came from one of his fellow inspectors, and that one was exactly the one in the picture who was constantly looking for trouble, or in other words, seeking death.
A magic missile broke the silence of the conversation. It is clearly visible on the screen that the energy beam penetrated the tower owner's body, but it was like passing through a phantom, and the person was safe and sound.
"Is this a phantom?" Greenwyn asked in shock.
Pausing the playback of the surveillance screen, Lin stood up and said: "Three-dimensional imaging. It is actually a combination of the two magics of Ma Shao Puppetry and Ur Phantom." While speaking, he picked up the helmet on the side. Put it on. Lin patted the magic stone on his right ear, and a phantom that looked exactly like him immediately walked towards the two of them from the corner of the core room.
Many of Lin's achievements were actually based on the association's existing magical knowledge. It's quite like writing a program in the earth era. If you need any function, you first find a function library. If the function library doesn't exist, you can write it yourself. The same is true in the Mysterious Land. If you want any function, you should first look for the magic knowledge that the association can provide, and then analyze and rewrite it into what you need.
Greenwin looked at the person coming as lifelike, with no flaw in his every move. The tower master Phantom introduced it very naturally: "The original idea was that I didn't want to run up and down when receiving some unimportant guests. So I drew on the magic of my predecessors and designed a design that can appear anywhere in the magic tower at any time. A phantom of a place. Later I found out that it can also protect myself against some people with bad intentions and prevent me from being killed immediately. So I also use this kind of clone for some hostile people. Meet each other.”
He reached out and went straight through Phantom's body. It is not that Greenwin has never seen phantom magic, but there are always some limitations and flaws. As seen in front of you, except that it has no entity, all the actions and appearances of the phantom are almost the same as those of the real person, but it is able to make actions that are different from the real body. This is the first time that it has been seen.
Greenwin had no problem with this life-saving magic. Although to some people it would be quite rude for the tower owner not to personally come to greet him, but to be honest, this does not constitute a reason to attack the tower. Although it is a very useful excuse, if a hero is judged by his success or failure, if he successfully captures the tower master, disrespect is a serious crime; if he fails and dies, disrespect is a trivial matter.
After a little understanding, Greenwin motioned to continue what he was doing that day. Lin also released the clone and pressed the play button.
After a magic missile, the figures of the three masters and apprentices of the tower gradually faded or even disappeared. It can be said that both sides are clearly hostile. The main entrance and the central stairwell were all sealed, and the doors to the four rooms on the first floor were all closed. But the trap was not launched immediately, and the five inspectors were given time to discuss and talk.
Lin explained on the side: "Although the door is closed, it is actually not completely sealed. A simple unlocking technique can open the door and leave. If this is the path chosen, the trap I set will not It will move. If you attack the stairwell, in addition to activating the trap, the door will also be closed for a second time. If you want to open the door, you will have to spend time or attack by force."
In the picture, Inspector Koos Magician attacks the central stairwell, and the trap is instantly activated. Greenwin looked at the inconspicuous small beam of light, cutting a living person in half, and none of the magic equipment on his body had a protective effect.
Immediately after the second and third beams, the fourth beam returned to the first beam pattern, which seemed to be an opportunity to break the trap. Just when Greenwin was thinking this way, the mode on the screen suddenly changed and turned into a beam net that killed both front and rear, directly killing the remaining four people. Moreover, there were three great magicians among them. They were so caught off guard that no life-saving means could work.
Greenwin also completely understood why the remains he just saw were in that lumpy shape. Putting himself in the trap, he realized that his fate would be the same as everyone on the screen. Even now that he already knows the protection methods of the Great Sage's Tower, he can't find a way to protect himself or even counterattack the tower owner.
Ignoring the cold sweat on his back and suppressing his voice, Greenwin asked calmly: "Sir Tripwood, what kind of magic is that light?"
"That was improved with the bright light technique."
Damn it! Isn't the bright light technique only used for lighting? Greenwyn shouted in his heart.
"Injecting high-intensity energy and focusing it in a small area can form this kind of beam. However, the relevant research is still in progress and has not been finalized. This is an experimental trap at best."
The experimental trap... trapped three great magicians and a team of inspectors. Can you trap a little more? Greenwin scratched his head and roared in his heart. However, you still have to maintain calm on the surface and ask tentatively: "Then, are you willing to hand over these magic spells?"
"These ones? They are of no use to most people, right?" Lin did not deliberately hide it, but said honestly: "Not to mention, I am still researching. These magics all require magic towers and energy pools to be cast. , ordinary magicians cannot use it even after learning it. If you want to use it forcefully, let alone the complexity, the magic power will probably be drained."
"The tower uses magic?" Greenwin mentioned a major category in the magical world according to the characteristics Lin mentioned.
The common points of tower magic are that it is difficult to cast spells, consumes a lot of energy, and is powerful. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the magic tower to make pre-arrangements before it can be performed smoothly. Generally speaking, it refers to the strategic attack magic circle unique to the magic tower. It is also the main rely on the tower to become a war fortress to guard a place and protect the civilized world.
The personal version of this kind of magic is often rated as a forbidden spell by the association. 'Magic that is forbidden to be used under normal circumstances'. Because this type of magic usually affects a large area and is easy to cause accidental damage, unless used in a state of war or on the battlefield, it will suffer severe punishment from the association.
In other words, the attack magic arrays of general magic towers are external, used to deal with armies or groups of monsters, but this guy in front of him is putting forbidden spells into his own tower.
Hmm~, is there any violation of the rules? Greenwyn was distressed. Not to mention that Tripwood's self-created magic has not yet been listed as a forbidden spell, so it is difficult for the association to regulate it for this reason. The biggest reason why the Forbidden Curse is a Forbidden Curse is that it is afraid that attacks with too large a range may accidentally injure civilians. Limiting the attack range to the inside of the magic tower eliminates the possibility of accidental damage, and there is no reason to prohibit it.
This kind of thing seemed inappropriate, but no one said it was impossible. Greenwen really didn't know how to advise the tower owner in front of him on what to do. At the same time, we can also understand why three great magicians and two magicians lost their lives even though they were protected by magic props and equipment, as well as a variety of auxiliary and defensive magic and life-saving means.
There are two recognized ways to deal with magic at the level of forbidden spells. One is to interrupt the spell casting; the other is to run as far as possible. Carrying it with the body, unless one becomes a god.
Maybe I can report it to the president after I go back. Raise the danger level of the Great Sage's Tower to green level, or even green level, which can only be assessed by a four-story tower. It’s better to avoid people like this who cause trouble to the tower master in the future. Greenwin sighed in his heart.
However, for another party involved, due to his low vision, Lin had no idea how exaggerated what he did was. Because according to other people's rumors, the Magic Tower is a dangerous place. Now that I own a tower, I can adjust it however hard it is, there is no limit.
