Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 5 The Wizard's Tower

Night has fallen, and the dark sky is covered with dark clouds. This winter city built at the junction of the outer sea and the inner sea seems to be engulfed by thick black fog.

All the necessities for Thorne's journey have been prepared. At this time, he is walking alone on the dark street, heading for the last destination: the bloody arena!
Suddenly Thorne felt a light flashing around him, so he looked up at the wizard tower with awe.

At the top of the majestic wizard tower, a fist-sized bright light shone, slowly spinning tirelessly around, as if escorting this bustling and noisy city.

It is like a bright lighthouse that guides travelers and overseas ships. Thorne, who once ventured in the wilderness, came to Winter City because of this.

However, the guiding function of this aura is just an accidental product, because the producer did not expect it to have the function of guiding direction. Its real name is: the eye of insight!

Among the wizard's four-ring prophecy spells, there is a reconnaissance spell called "Mysterious Eye", and this "Eye of Insight" is like a super-enhanced version of the "Mysterious Eye"!
It is said that the "eye of insight" can observe the scene within a radius of [-] kilometers at the farthest, and then transmit its image back to the Wizard Tower, and through the crystal ball connected to it, you can observe the surrounding changes.

In addition to being unable to penetrate solid obstacles, hallucinations, darkness and dense fog are difficult to stop its peeping.

If it is a sunny day, you can also find a pillar above the "Eye of Insight" exuding mithril radiance because of the dazzling light.

When the players see it, they will smile and say: Fuck!Isn't that just a lightning rod?

Older residents in the city will close their eyes and think deeply, and then call it: Magic Crystal Cannon.

But every time the wizards in the wizard tower mentioned it, they would subconsciously look at it in awe and awe, and then proudly called it: "Magic energy crystal superconducting pulse gun!"
This is a product of the Arcane Empire period. It is very powerful and can strike from all directions from the commanding heights. Even if the ancient dragon saw it, it would break through the portal and escape with its tail between its legs.

The history of this wizard tower can be traced back to when Winter City was first established, and it has gradually become brilliant along with Winter City from an inconspicuous town by the sea.

Passed through the most chaotic and turbulent year, or it can also be called: the catastrophe of the saint!
It slowly developed into what it is today.

It can be said that the wizard tower has made great contributions to the rise of the city and played a strategic deterrent role.

Although the owner of the Wizard Tower has changed many times over time, it is still the most dangerous existence on the entire Corina Peninsula!
"It's a pity that I have to leave tomorrow, or maybe I can see the full power of the wizard tower in Winter City in times of crisis." Thorne sighed with some regret.

In the past, the small fight between the army of Winter City and the wolf man was not worth the shot of the wizard tower, even if the wolf man attacked the tower in the first two months.

In the case of not enough troops, only a brigade (about 100 in number) of constructed creatures: clay golems was dispatched.

But this time is different. Thorn, who has lived here for nearly half a year, can feel the tension brought by the war from the frequent transfer of troops in the city every day.

Especially the port of Winter City is constantly transporting various military supplies every day. Players who make a living by loading and unloading at the dock can only be assigned to half a day's work at most.

Nowadays, he can often work for a whole day until dark, and his life is quite nourishing, and he can go to Anderina's bar to have a glass of wine every now and then.

"Will Winter City really get through the difficulties smoothly?" Thorne couldn't help but wondered in his heart, and he, a low-level adventurer, could feel it.

Thorne didn't believe that the senior management of Winter City couldn't feel the crisis from all directions, either they were well-informed, or they had already prepared a way out.

But war is cruel, but there is only one life. Thorn doesn't want to hand over his fate to others, and pray for those unknown results.

Before the players had completely traversed, a legendary battle took place in a city in the Southern Kingdom.

A nine-ring spell: Meteor Burst!
In an instant, a large number of melon eaters standing on the city wall evaporated...

Only then did the players truly realize the horror of this world. Although the technology of this world is not high, it is a high-magic world with extremely strong destructive power.

In the year of turmoil, even those gods who looked down on all living beings from above fell a lot, let alone these insignificant players.

So Thorne didn't want to participate in this melee!

……

The top floor of the wizard tower.

A light blue light appeared on a portal made of a large number of precious gems and arcane materials.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow appeared, and when all the light dissipated, the face of the figure was clearly displayed.

With the help of various flashing magic lights in the tower, it can be seen that this is a middle-aged human man with a vicissitudes of life.

He was wearing a full-body armor that was as hard as his skin, and none of the black metal pieces connected to it were flat.

A pair of curved spikes protrude from the arm of the armor, and each connection is protected by a sharp triangular thorn, which shows that it not only has excellent defensive power, but also has more offensive power!
"Roslet, you interrupted a wizard's meditation, which makes me very upset!" The gray-robed wizard sitting cross-legged beside the crystal ball with various scenes flickering said lightly.

"I'm really sorry! Wizard Kaladna, please don't be nervous." Roselet said with a smile on his face.

"Hey... tell me, what's the matter?" The wizard asked with a sigh.

"The situation is not good. Tonight we are going to be rounded up, old man." Roselet walked to the crystal ball and said solemnly.

"If you're just talking nonsense, then please go back." Kaladna said lightly, looking at the image in the crystal ball in front of him.

Roselet stopped talking after hearing the words, but observed the images that were constantly passing through the crystal ball.

The gnoll tribe approaching Winter City in the wasteland, the hobgoblin army who came out of the forest with various siege equipment, and the black shadows that appeared and disappeared from time to time on the coastline were all clearly displayed in front of the two of them.

When Roselet saw the round bloody arena in Winter City and the nobles cheering loudly in their seats, his eyes instantly turned cold, and a faint sarcasm curled up in the corner of his mouth:

"Cheer to your heart's content, you are about to welcome the bloody feast later!"

After speaking, Roselet turned and walked to the window of the Wizard Tower, he looked down at the bustling Winter City and sighed: "These are left by the ancestors, I didn't expect to lose them from you and me. "

"The ancestors often said: people plan things, but heaven makes things happen! We didn't do anything wrong, did we?" Wizard Kaladna said calmly, still staring at the images constantly transmitted by the crystal ball in front of him.

"The Wizard Tower is in your hands, Guardian of Glory! In times of crisis, all you need to do is to evacuate quickly without hesitation. After all... it is the painstaking efforts left by the ancestors, and cannot be destroyed by those bastards!"

After Roselet finished speaking, he stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation, and his figure quickly disappeared under the shroud of light blue light.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, a heavy diamond golem walked in with steps, bowed its head towards Wizard Kaladna in front of him, and said, "Dear master, the energy reserve has been fully charged!"

"Very good!" Kaladna's cloudy eyes flashed brightly, and after some thought, he said again: "Taling, report the situation of the wizard tower."

As soon as Kaladna finished speaking, an illusory figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said with a mechanical voice:
Wizard tower energy is ready...

The reserve energy is fully charged...

Clay Golem Team...

The Stone Golem Brigade...

Iron Golem Squad...

on standby...

Mana Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon...

Maintenance complete...

works fine...
