The time sequence is winter. Mahtab, the tower owner of Estali Tower III in the Holy City, had long ago obtained magic equipment made of silk. Of course, it has become her regular equipment, and it can even be said to be the most luxurious set. It is suitable for weddings and funerals, showing off, and going out to fight monsters.
She wished she could wear the entire set of robes, including the underwear, in rotation several times. It's a pity that the only magician with the ability to make it now is unwilling to let go. Even the promised rewards have not yet been fulfilled. It was not until a few days ago that the great magician Fenni Tikal made a request to borrow the energy pool of the magic tower.
There was a lot of criticism about lending the energy pool of one of the six core towers of the Holy City to an unrecognized outsider, other people who were also the owners of the six towers, and even some elders who had lived in the Holy City for a long time. Even if what is lent is the energy pool on the third floor of the five-story magic tower, which is the least important.
But this is not important and is only compared to the energy pools on the fourth and fifth floors. Putting it outside and being able to access the energy pool of the magic tower is a big deal. Not to mention ordinary people, the vast majority of magicians may never have such an opportunity in their lifetime.
Every time Dharma Saint Mahtab recalled this incident, he felt a little regretful; but as soon as he put on that silk robe, he wished he could borrow it a few more times and bring back a few more sets of silk robes. It is difficult to describe my conflicting feelings to outsiders.
Now that the other party really came to borrow it, the Dharma Saint could not help but seriously consider the possibility of defaulting on the loan.
Use the same method used to deal with demons and find loopholes in written contracts? ...No, no contract was signed at the beginning, it was just a verbal agreement.
Because it's a verbal agreement, why don't you admit it? ...No, it feels like he will really be beaten to death... Mahtab carefully analyzed the gap in combat power between the two sides. During this period of time when she was in contact with the Demon King, she did a lot of testing of the other person's depth. However, the conclusion is disappointing.
Looking for reasons to stall and delay? ...No, the reason is the same as before, he will be beaten to death.
Decline to the request of the other six tower owners on the grounds that they don't agree? …Very good, the number of people killed will increase to at least six. Is this supposed to make you happy?
The most reliable method is probably to help the other party find a magic tower that is willing to lend an energy pool. That person once said that she just needed a lot of power to perform a ritual. It doesn’t matter where it is, and it doesn’t have to be held in the Six Towers of the Holy City.
But... as the most important part of the magic tower, my face is not big enough that other tower owners are willing to lend it out. The tower owner of every magic tower is like a local emperor who will enter the tower whenever he disagrees. If others want to attack or force them, they have to pay a price. The only magic tower that Mahtab can really master is his own, the Estali Tower III.
In the end, the Dharma Saint, who had already accepted the price, could only choose to try his best to watch from the side during the ceremony to reduce the possibility of the other party causing trouble. But if the other party really wants to cause trouble, will the speed of launching traps or attacking magic inside the magic tower be enough to stop the other party's behavior?
The Magic Tower's combat method has always been a defensive tactic of waiting for work, and it is not very good at handling internal emergencies. Although the Six Towers of the Holy City have considered this strategy, they are not sure whether they can deal with enemies of the level of the former Demon King.
Therefore, Dharma Saint Mahatab welcomed the promised guests in a nervous mood.
Because they were accompanied by others, Fen and Lin did not directly use the flash technique to go to Tower III. The three apprentices plus a self-confessed slave, Merle, happened to serve as four drivers, driving four 732A cars, including the great priest of life from the Church of Three Holy Lights. The helpers that Fen recruited in the life class, Let’s take them to Tower III together.
The student of Dharma Saint Mahtab, the charming female magician with aristocratic status was standing in front of the door on the first floor, welcoming everyone. Also covered under a black gauze robe, the tight-fitting silk tailoring allowed her figure curves to be unreservedly exposed.
This one actually wanted to ask Fen for a set of silk robes of the same level as his own teacher. Unfortunately, in terms of strength, she couldn't threaten anyone; in terms of financial resources, she couldn't pay the price that the lich might ask for. So she could only get some ordinary silk clothes to wear to satisfy her cravings. Especially the designs of intimate clothing, she and her teacher couldn't put it down.
So whenever she saw the lich, she would be particularly attentive. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, there is nothing wrong with being familiar and leaving a good impression. This is the rule of social survival in the aristocratic circle. Fen didn't feel disgusted by this either. Although he didn't relent, it wasn't like he couldn't give some pointers.
After all, despite his identity as a magician, the man in front of him is also a member of the imperial aristocracy. Even though the social occasions for men and women in the Gwana Empire are separate, it is still inevitable for women to compete for beauty.
Except for Fen, who is the focus of the group, the rest of them are not the ones who are sought after and fawned over everywhere. The great priests of life in the Church of Three Holy Lights will have all kinds of strange and stubborn illnesses, amputated limbs, and those who were killed and resurrected in battle. As long as the donations are in place, there will be no dead people in front of them.
Just by looking at these old men in white robes and long beards, wherever they go, all the magicians or warriors retreat to both sides and bow their heads in salute, you can know how high their status is in the world of the holy city of Estali.
But don't think that they are respected just because of their ability to save lives and heal the wounded with one hand. Sometimes it happens that someone who saves an enemy will come looking for him. At this time, these great priests of life can put on heavy armor, hold maces, and hammer until no one dares to have an opinion on who they save. By the way, they can ask people whether they want to convert to the Lord of Life. This is the real reason why they are respected.
The protection of the God of Life allows these high-level priests to remain active even at an old age, and they are capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards, and tearing apart bear bones with their bare hands. So no one dares to look down upon them, and even if they are torn apart, no one will seek medical treatment.
However, a person with such a high status is just a follower walking behind Fen, and he doesn't dare to have any emotions. Because not only the knowledge part is crushed, but the strength part is crushed, and it is crushed even more than age. Especially those who mention the last point will suffer great misfortune. Fen showed everything she could to tell these people that the title of 'Demon King' she once held was no fun.
As for Guybrash Tripwood, who was wearing a black basalt robe and looked like a living skeleton, he seemed to be a marginalized person. He lowered his head and walked at the outermost edge of the queue without saying a word. If someone else didn't know about it, they would think they were just on the same road.
But the magician responsible for the reception knew very well that this man's energy in the team was definitely not as low as outsiders imagined. Even the technology of making silk robes, this man has mastered a very important part.
It's just...it's not that easy to get close to him, the most important thing is his appearance. For a daughter of a noble who followed the Dharma Saint and learned magic, she knew that appearance really didn't matter to a truly strong person. But from a physical level, this proud woman is really unable to stand in front of the other person and say a good word.
Therefore, every time when they see this magician, the students of Dharma Saint Mahtab can't help but turn away, just to avoid tarnishing their eyes a few times. But in just a blink of an eye, there seemed to be many more people behind the magician...
Did you miss it before?
But to miss more than twenty elves at once is to be blind. The female magician couldn't help but rub her eyes, trying to see where the more than twenty elves that suddenly appeared should come from.
First of all, it couldn't be delivered by one of the most popular cars in the Holy City these days. Four cars cannot carry that many people. It would be okay if there was a truck from the Technical Guild. It would be no problem to fit twenty or thirty people into such a big truck.
As for those who came? For more than twenty elves wearing holy robes, it was difficult not to be the center of attention. Especially the things they carry exude extraordinary aura. Whether it is a long staff with antlers, a colorful parrot perched on a certain elf's shoulder, a white lotus holding water, a pure vase willow branch, etc., they are definitely not ordinary objects.
How could such a team miss it? But they seemed to appear out of thin air, suddenly appearing in front of Tower III.
And if you take a closer look, you will find that these more than twenty elves wearing holy robes actually belong to more than twenty high-ranking members of the Turtle Dove Alliance. In other words, there are more than twenty kinds of three-feathered bird shapes on their bodies, and they probably have all the high seats in the alliance.
What are you doing here? Cold sweat broke out on the forehead under the female magician's veil.
In fact, what she didn't notice was that the magician she didn't want to see also had the symbol of the three-feathered bird, which was black with gold threads. It is very similar to the black background silver thread of Fasnas, but as long as there is one difference, it means a different meaning in the alliance.
The most special thing is that Lin's three-feathered bird logo has dots for eyes that are aqua blue mixed with dots of brown. That's exactly what the Earth looks like, and the brown is the land mass on the Asian side.
It is by embroidering this eye that the symbol of the three-feathered bird can be stabilized on the Xuanwu robe. Otherwise, if I had asked those two girls to embroider a three-feathered bird with pure gold thread on a black background, the bird would have disappeared when I woke up. If you don’t know, you might think that you were eaten by that snake and turtle. After all, this piece of clothing can no longer be viewed with common sense.
This group of elves are the wood elves who disappeared silently from all over the land. Relying on the coordinate parameters temporarily provided by Lin, they were teleported here from their respective World Tree tribes using flash. This set of practices is also the tactic that will be used to raid the Elf Kingdom in the future.
As the forerunners, this group of wood elves are not only the best in their respective tribes; in the Lost Land, they also stand in the order of the strong, overlooking most people. Most of them are extraordinary beings, and a few are also great druids.
This is because the Dharma Saint's student was blind and did not recognize this group of elves who were famous in the adventure circle of the Lost World. Otherwise, with their combat power and the incarnation of the World Tree in their hands, it would not be impossible to attack a five-story magic tower in a surprise attack. If you really recognize this group of elves, it won't be something that can be solved by breaking out in a cold sweat. You have to prepare for war immediately.
But of course they are not here to attack the tower. Instead, they came here to assist the lich under the instructions of their respective masters. But it's none of their business to say it's assistance. Their main job is to place the incarnation of the World Tree in the correct position, and then they can wait aside. Yongfen’s way of saying it is: You are too stupid to be useful.
The elves grind their teeth.
