Overturned Tower

She appears to be in her mid-twenties, perhaps even younger than "Russell," let alone "Barber."

In fact, these mages are not very old.Basically, just graduated from university, and some people should only be in their teens.

Even the oldest-looking Quanshu, who is in his 30s... is the strangulation of this kind of severe spirituality, so the specific age cannot be seen due to the influence of spirituality.

The rimless glasses on Malt's face are plain glasses.

Of course, the world no longer needs such things as myopia.It is convenient and effective to replace the eye prosthesis. The prosthetic eye like Xiao Liuli can even turn on the LED, or customize the color and pattern of the pupil.Those who have more money will choose to implant auxiliary crystals to reduce the degree of prosthesis.

These glasses are either pure jewelry, or some kind of special equipment.

For example, the one that the bad guys like to use is the glasses that are linked to the monitoring center of the entire Happy Island and can use AI face capture to instantly confirm whether the person has killed someone under the camera.

But malt wine doesn't seem that complicated, it's more like some sort of ritual... or autosuggestion.

The barber thought of the poor man's father—he also wore glasses.And when he used that powerful spell that seemed to turn back time, he took off his glasses specially.

He remembered that the moment the other party took off his glasses, some kind of gorgeous iridescent light flowed in the pupils.

It is a nebula composed of light blue, dark blue, and purple as the main colors.

... So, this kind of glasses is actually a kind of self-sealing?

Excluding this part of the reason, the glasses gave her an intellectual and capable temperament.

She has fair skin and lake green eyes.At the end of the long ponytail, a black and white plaid bow is tied on one side.

Her hair was wavy and auburn-brown—it must have been natural, not dyed.Because she can still see the same color, real "ponytail" behind her.

The clothes on Malt Wine are also quite formal, just ordinary workplace suits.

If this outfit is placed in the upper city, it will be a normal office worker... Judging by that kind of calm demeanor, it may be a middle-level leader.

Being able to maintain the position of leader so firmly without implanting a prosthetic body for combat is definitely not something that can be accomplished only by wisdom and tolerance.

Meanwhile, the barber has not forgotten.

The most dangerous criminal organization... Longing for the "eternal reincarnation" of accelerating destruction and resetting the world, it was founded by this seemingly sane woman.

"You probably don't know, barber."

Malt Wine looked at the barber with a friendly tone: "The name of our organization comes from my mentor.

"His code name is 'Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation'. As early as in the 'Earth Age', he was the master of the floating tower, one of the eight most powerful mages in the world. This is also the name of our school... It's just a pity that I still haven't been able to grasp his old man's inheritance."

"Then may I ask," the barber didn't even look at the scorched face, leaned on the table and approached the malt wine on the opposite side, and asked politely, "If you fight the angel head-on... the outcome will probably be ?”

"One-on-one, I can easily win most of the time."

Malt Wine replied without hesitation, obviously having considered this question long ago: "I'm not talking about lower angels like 'Guardians', 'Healers', and 'Chargers'... but 'Brilliant Ones'." ', 'The Exalted' are high-ranking angels. The spells I have learned are especially good at small-scale battles...even the fifth-level angels can't defeat me. If you don't know the strength of angels, then let me tell you... …A high-ranking angel from the fifth to the sixth level is roughly equivalent to a psyker with an eighth-level redshift."

That is to say, the "Wall of the Zodiac" has been passed, and the realm of the "Wall of Leviathan" has not yet been reached.

The barber nodded in understanding.

The highest ability to mass-produce eighth-level psykers... No wonder the influence of the church is so strong.

In front of the seven giants who have almost divided up the world, they can directly take away a piece of floating island for their own use.No one has yet said anything about the piece that was taken by the Church.

"What about the seventh level?"

The person who asked the question was not the barber, but the "maze" sitting aside.

It was a man with black cloth strips covering his eyes and a pair of black crow wings behind his shoulders.

He is not a member of the Veil of Ignorance and Eternal Reincarnation, but the leader of another small organization.

The relationship with Malt Wine is fairly familiar, so Malt Wine named him before.

Everyone is also a little curious about this... After all, these materials cannot be obtained anyway.

Unless you have a good enough relationship with your own mentor, it is possible to hear these secrets that you will never hear on the floating island.

"The seventh level is the Pope."

And the answer was not malt wine, but Tovatus who was watching the excitement.

The elf boy laughed and said, "How could the Pope personally dispatch it? So the highest level of angels is the sixth level."

"The Pope himself is an angel?"

Someone said in surprise.

The barber suddenly nodded: "It should be that every time the pope changes, he will wear an angel halo."

"That's right, the Pope is also the only angel who continues to be active in the world. The Church is a political entity with great power, and has the power to easily destroy the entire world. It is very dangerous if the highest level of authority falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives... Therefore, if you want to become Pope, you must put on the solidified angel halo at the succession ceremony under the witness of everyone, and accept the "God's descent" from the seventh-level angel. You can't take off the halo until you leave office.

"It is also because of this that the church can control the angels... Otherwise, if the church is completely corrupted and the angels are thawed, the first thing to clear up is the church itself. As a cardinal, the Pope can command and appoint other cardinals. Just because he himself is the highest level of angels, the 'savior'."

Tovatus explained very patiently: "Having the personality of 'savior', the pope's thinking must be in the general direction of 'savior'. This can ensure that the core line of the church will not be skewed...in this Even the church no longer believes in God, and the angelic Pope is the faith of the clergy.”

For ordinary elves, the "secret knowledge" that is absolutely impossible to tell outsiders was sold out by Tovatus indifferently.

It's as if he doesn't care that "history" is known.

It also seems to be deliberately revealing to someone.

Chapter 43 Infernal Affairs Starred by Great Wisdom

"However, although I can fight against a single angel..."

Malt Wine warned the other mages: "But even if it is any upper-level angel above the fourth level, with three to four lower-level angels, it will be very difficult for me to defeat. There is a high probability of defeat.

"Even the 'healers' of the first level have the healing power equivalent to the psykers of the sixth level. The angels classified as the first three levels do not represent absolute weakness...just because they Lack of combat power, or must be attached to other people. Angels on the fourth to sixth levels are all individuals with strong combat power.

"If the upper and lower angels gather together, they will not be a drag, but a troublesome reinforcement.

"My mentor told me that even the weakest high-ranking angel 'victim', if paired with two to three healers and a guardian to form a victim array, can even fight against elite mages whose number is two or three times that of several bodies .

"The most troublesome thing about angels is that the upper angels above the fourth level can 'entrust' the lower angels. This is the difference between the upper angels and the lower angels.

"'Envelopment' is a large aura that can be temporarily lowered or lowered. The sixth-level angels can convert the first to fourth-level angels; the fifth-level angels can perform the first-to-third The conversion of levels, the fourth level is the first to the second level. Although the 'adaptability' will decrease after the forced conversion of the holy name, it can still be used even if it is lowered. In this way, every upper angel can use The accompanying lower angels adjusted to their own state.

"And the most important thing is that the most hated 'healer' is the lowest level of the first level. This means that any upper-level angel can temporarily adjust the lower-level angel to be a healer... The holy rank of healing ability, even if the strength is not enough It doesn't matter, as long as the number is replenished, it's the same. If the angels can't be killed at one time, as long as they leave the battlefield, they can return to full state soon.

"So, if you see angels—remember, you must give priority to killing the upper angels. Even if they have the protection of the lower angels, they must give priority to killing the upper angels."

The mages nodded solemnly.

Although they all know the existence of angels, this is the first time they know how angels fight.

Although they also have their own mentors...

However, if you want to know this way of fighting, you must first face the transformation of the angels and survive.

Their instructors obviously don't have that kind of strength... probably they all hid in the mage tower on the ground and escaped the angel's strategic bombing.

If it is stronger, it will definitely be stationed on the floating tower.Those were the first batch of mages who were caught off guard by the angelic army... Only the strongest ones could escape back to the stronghold on land.

"That is to say, if the number of angels exceeds double digits, they can make adjustments and improvise a battlefield plan centered on different high-ranking angels.

"...Then this is really difficult."

Strangling said in a low voice: "This means that if there are enough angels, we will never be able to restrain them."

"That's why the mentors lost the battle."

Malt Wine shook his head: "That is a living war machine."

"Fortunately, we have obtained a batch of healing chips. With them...we can at least start a war of attrition with the angels. We won't be easily consumed and killed by six or seven angels.

"According to the barbers, as long as we hang on, the populace will start to grow weary. Corporations will clamp down on the church... Time is on our side."

Unlike the barbaric mage, "angel" was designed for legion combat from the beginning.

As long as multiple angels gather together, the combat power will be more than doubled.

But mages and mages gather together, their abilities are either repetitive, or have no coordination, and may even interfere with each other...

This is the fundamental reason why the barber thinks that the lower city cannot fight against the Angel Legion.

"...Barber, you have a good brain. Tell me, is there such a possibility..."

Maze touched his smooth chin, and asked the barber, "Are these healing chips actually given to us by the company on purpose?

"There are many mages at the top of the company. They have experienced that war and know that the most terrifying thing about angels is the war of attrition.

"So these chips were not actually looted by us, but they deliberately gave us...the purpose is to let us drag the church."

The barber almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

I see……

——This is the "third floor" that the company is waiting for.

These chips are of high value and practicality and are distributed to fight against Angels, which is the first layer.

Someone realized that the chip came too easily, and wondered if this was some kind of conspiracy, this is the second layer.

Then when someone realizes that the company knows that the core tactic of Angels is attrition and they need mages to balance the church, so they purposely hand out chips to them, which is the third layer.

Then came Kamalthy's fourth-level plan: the chip was passively manipulated, and its fundamental purpose was to wipe out the living forces in the lower city, so as to force Tovatus to no longer fight against the inferior.

Not even Tovatus himself knew about it.

If there was no barber, the meeting would have been stacked up layer by layer according to his idea.

Just wait for a great cleverness to jump out and say the idea of ​​the third layer, and Kamalthe's conspiracy will be successful.

As a result, Kamaltha never guessed that the appearance of the "barber" disrupted all his plans, and the direction of the meeting was completely biased towards "how to fight against angels".

At this time, "Maze" still went around in a circle and threw out the third layer of arguments.

This is really too abrupt.

——This "labyrinth" is either really a solid cleverness, or it is a nail driven by Kamaltha!

And still not very smart nails.

Ale's eyes moved just now... the barber believed that she also realized the doubt.

With the support of malt wine, the barber continued to follow his words: "But what I just said is very clear.

"Since the board of directors entrusted Torvatos to let us fall into the trap of 'against the church'... it means that the value of the lower city is about to be exhausted. Will they still prepare for us? In the case of their conspiracy, is it a prop specially used to fight against angels?

"The company is ready to kill, and it will be a matter of time before they do it. How could they choose to be an enemy at this time?

"Or...do you think that the board of directors realized from the very beginning that the plan might fail, so they prepared for it?"

The barber's last sentence was simply murderous.

What he said clearly said, "Do you think I am the spy who broke in from the company", and gained everyone's trust by cracking the conspiracy brought by the discord?

...although the truth is true.

But that sounds really stupid.

Because without the barber, the lower city would have been wiped out.

There is no need for the council to go around in a big circle and take a lot more risks for no reason to achieve the same goal.

As Torvatos said, the company's core need is "efficiency."

"Maze" guessed what the barber meant, of course he dared not admit it.

He waved his hands again and again, showing a wry smile: "Why, I always said 'could there be such a possibility'... Now it seems that I may have guessed wrong. Then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

And the moment the labyrinth said those words.

The barber was immediately sure that the maze must be a spy for the board!

Because the maze sees things from the wrong angle.

If he is just a smart person who occasionally thinks of this level, when Russell jumps out to question...then don't say "then just in case, just destroy the chip", at least continue to think "then these chips will It’s not going to be a positioning to use to wipe us out later or something.”

But he didn't say anything.

I would rather let myself be suspected by other mages than continue to analyze and reveal some key information.

This is already very obvious.

The barber thought for a moment.

The spies infiltrated by the Tianen Group...to stay or not to stay?

He quickly determined the only and inevitable answer.
