Chapter 42: tower evaluation
From the moment he entered the tower, Greenwyn tried to find the slightest trace of the war, but unfortunately there was none. There were also no signs of injuries to the three masters and apprentices of the tower. Seeing the ending of the inspector team that was completely wiped out, one thing is almost certain, this is a one-sided massacre, the kind that has no resistance.
Was it the sudden attack that caused the group of magicians to lose their lives due to carelessness? What kind of attack would cause such death? Many questions filled everyone's minds.
Greenwyn couldn't bear the confusion in his heart any longer, and asked, "Your Excellency Tripwood, I wonder if Guita can provide the surveillance footage of the day to clarify some issues. Of course, this is the meaning of the president, and only three The great magician is watching to confirm that you are defending yourself in the tower. It will not be announced. The three great magicians are me, the president, and the owner of the west tower of the five-linked city, Your Excellency Becker."
"Of course, please come to the core room with me. Because the original chairman meant not to make it public, so I didn't cut out the footage from that day. Since Mr. Greenwyn wants to confirm, he has to operate it on the core room console .”
Instructing the mourners to dispose of the body, Greenwyn followed Lin's footsteps and walked 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.
Go straight to the core room on the third floor, and the layout is not much different from what I saw when I came back last time. But the sense of oppression felt by the whole body is far from comparable to the previous one. Greenwin was keenly aware that this was not caused by psychological factors, but actually came from the sense of oppression around the body. It seems that a high concentration of magic power is flowing around the body.
The tower master sat back at the console and started editing the video. As last time, the level of complexity is still confusing. Greenwyn's eyes were fixed on the picture presented on the mirror energy pool, and he was afraid of missing any important information as he watched the action of time rewinding rapidly.
However, Lin, who was sitting in front of the console and operating, was quite emotional. Thinking back to the old machine in my college days, I had to leave it alone for an hour and a half for a movie. No matter what operation you do now, just set it up, pull it out, and you're done. So far, the alien version of the computer has been constructed, and its upper limit of computing speed is still unclear.
After a while, the monitoring screen of the target time period was captured separately. With the assistance of the Great Mage Greenwyn, Lin also put the clip into the Ombudsman discussion area, under the new event thread. At the same time, after setting the viewing authority, the monitoring screen of the day will be officially played.
There are three cameras in the hall, and there are three pictures. One was shot from the central stairwell toward the gate, and this lens could clearly see the faces of the five inspectors shrouded in black mist. One shot was taken from the gate. In addition to the backs of the five inspectors, this shot also had the fronts of the tower master, master, and apprentice. The last one is placed obliquely behind the hall, where you can see the whole hall.
The voice of the conversation is still clear. Greenwyn listened carefully to every word. The name of Koos came from among his fellow inspectors, and that one was also the one in the picture who was constantly looking for trouble, or in other words, wanted to die.
A magic missile broke the calm of the conversation. It can be clearly seen on the screen that the energy light bullet penetrates the body of the tower owner, but it seems to pass through a phantom, and the person is safe and sound.
"Is this a phantom?" Greenwyn asked in astonishment.
After pausing the playback of the monitoring screen, Lin got up and said, "Three-dimensional stereoscopic imaging. It is actually a combination of two magics, Marshall's puppet technique and Ur's phantom technique." While speaking, he picked up the helmet on the side put on. Lin Yi patted the magic stone in his right ear, and the phantom exactly like him immediately walked towards the two from the corner of the core room.
Many of Lin's achievements are actually based on the association's existing magical knowledge. It's quite like writing programs in the earth age. If you need any functions, you can find the function library first, and if you don't have the function library, you can write it yourself. It's the same in Midi. If you want any function, you should first find the magic knowledge that the association can provide, and then analyze and rewrite it into what you need.
Greenwyn watched the people approaching come to life, with no flaws in every move. Phantom, the tower owner, introduced it naturally: "The idea at the beginning was that I didn't want to run up and down when receiving some unimportant guests. That's why I borrowed from the magic of my predecessors and designed a magic tower that can appear anywhere in the magic tower at any time. The phantom of a place. Later, I found that it can also play a role in self-protection for some people with malicious intentions, so as to prevent myself from being killed in the first place. So for some hostile people, I also use this clone meet each other."
Stretching out his hand, he went straight through the phantom's body. It's not that Greenwyn has never seen phantom magic, but there are always some limitations and flaws. As in front of me, except that there is no real body, all kinds of actions and appearances of phantoms are almost the same as real people, but they can make actions different from the main body, which is really the first time I have seen.
Greenwyn didn't feel wrong about this life-saving magic. Although for some people, it is quite disrespectful for the tower owner not to greet them in person, 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 success or failure, disrespect is a serious crime if he successfully captures and kills the tower owner; if he fails and dies, disrespect is a trivial matter.
After a little understanding, Greenwin signaled to continue the picture of the day. Lin also released the avatar and pressed the play button.
After a magic missile, the figures of the tower master, master and apprentice gradually faded and even disappeared. The two sides can be said to be clearly hostile. I saw that the gate and the central stairwell were all closed, and the doors of the four rooms on the first floor were also closed. But the trap was not activated immediately, and the five inspectors were given time to discuss and talk.
Lin explained from the side: "Although the gate is closed, it is not completely sealed. A simple unlocking technique can open the door and leave. If you choose this way, the trap I set is not It will move. If it is an attack on the stairwell, in addition to the trap activation, the door will be closed again. If you want to open the door then you can only spend time or attack."
In the picture, the inspector Koos magician attacked the central stairwell, and the trap was activated in an instant. Greenwyn looked at the inconspicuous small beam of light and cut a living person in half. None of the magic equipment on his body was protective.
Immediately after the second and third beams, the fourth beam that returns to the first beam mode seems to be an opportunity to break the trap. Just when Greenwyn was thinking this way, the pattern on the screen suddenly changed, becoming a beam net that pinched back and forth, killing the remaining four people directly. Moreover, there were three great magicians among them, so they were so caught off guard that no means of life-saving would be effective.
Greenwyn also fully understood why the remains he saw just now looked like that. Putting himself in that trap, he realized that his end would be the same as everyone on the screen. Even now that he already knew the protection methods of the tower of the great sage, he couldn't find a way to protect himself for a while, or even counterattack the tower owner.
Ignoring the cold sweat on his back and suppressing his voice, Greenwyn asked calmly, "Your Excellency Tripwood, what kind of magic is that light?"
"That was improved with the light technique."
hell! Isn't bright light just for lighting? Greenwyn yelled inwardly.
"Infusing high-intensity energy and focusing it in a small area can form this kind of beam. However, related research is still in progress and has not been finalized. This is at best an experimental trap."
Experimental... trap... three great magicians and a team of inspectors have been tricked, can you trap a little more. Greenwyn scratched his head and roared in his heart. But on the surface, you still have to keep calm, and asked tentatively: "Then, are you willing to turn in these magic spells?"
"These few? It's useless to most people." Lin didn't deliberately hide it, and said honestly: "Let's not talk about it, I'm still researching. These few magics can only be performed by magic towers and energy pools. , Ordinary magicians can’t use it after learning it. If you want to use it forcefully, let’s not talk about the complexity, the magic power will probably be drained.”
"The tower uses magic?" Greenwin mentioned a major classification in the magical world according to the characteristics Lin said.
The common point of tower magic is that it is difficult to cast, consumes a lot of energy, and is powerful. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the magic tower for pre-arrangement in order to be able to use it smoothly. Generally, it refers to the unique strategic attack magic circle of the magic tower, and it is also the most important reliance for the tower to become a war fortress to guard a place and protect the civilized world.
As for the personal version of this kind of magic, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com 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 has a huge range and is easy to accidentally injure, so it will be severely punished by the association when used outside of the state of war and the battlefield.
That is to say, the attacking magic circle of the general magic tower is external, used to deal with the army or monster group, but the guy in front of him is to put the forbidden spell in his own tower.
Hmm, did you violate the rules? Greenwyn was troubled. Not to mention that Tripwood's self-created magic has not been clearly listed as a forbidden spell, and it is difficult for the association to govern it for this reason. The biggest reason why the forbidden curse is a forbidden curse is that it is afraid that an attack with a large range will accidentally injure civilians. Confining the attack range to the inside of the magic tower eliminates the possibility of accidental injury, and there is no reason to prohibit it.
This kind of thing seemed inappropriate, but no one said it was impossible, and it really made Greenwyn wonder how to advise the tower owner in front of him what to do. At the same time, I can also understand why the three great magicians and two magicians still ruined their lives under the protection of a whole body of magic props and equipment, as well as various auxiliary, defensive magic and life-saving means.
There are two generally accepted methods to deal with the magic of the forbidden level, one is to interrupt the casting of the spell; the other is to run as far as possible. Carry it with your body, unless you become a god.
Maybe after going back, report to the president. Raise the danger level of the Tower of the Great Sage to the green level, or even the blue level that can only be assessed by a four-story tower. In the future, this kind of **** that troubles the tower owner should be avoided. Greenwyn sighed inwardly.
However, for the other party, due to his low vision, Lin didn't know how exaggerated his actions were. Because according to other people's rumors, the magic tower is a dangerous place. Now that I have a tower, I can make it as difficult as possible, there is no bottom limit.
