Chapter 0572 - Searching for Ghosts

Xu knew that there were still many follow-up hands that needed the participation of the high-level mage in front of him, and Master Sekar could not ignore the arrogance of his two disciples too much, so he could only shout.

So the ensuing deliberations were completed in a burst of awkward indifference.

With the farce just now, Li Xun's silence on the later occasion seemed reasonable. After watching coldly, Li Xun quickly figured out the identities of several people in the venue.

Master Seckel, Level 17, Distinguished Tutor of the "Man and Nature" Research Society of the Research Department of the Mage Guild.

High-level mage of Punell, level 12, disciple of Master Seckel.

Ser Er High Mage, level 11, disciple of Master Seckel.

Gama? Viscount Ansar, who has a separate domain in the province of Savile in the kingdom of Dagon, and Sassoval is his advisor mage. The private army dispatched in this ambush was also from his territory. It can be said that he is also a major participant and planner of this action plan.

Since Sassoval's spiritual body is still trapped in Jack's consciousness space and is not dead, Li Xun, who has temporarily suppressed his residual mental power and controlled his body, has not been able to directly understand his deep consciousness and memory, so he is vague and fragmented to a lot of information.

Judging from the details of the meeting, it can be judged that the main promoter of the whole conspiracy is the master of Seckel in front of him. From his few words, you can hear a deep hatred for himself, which makes Li Xun more and more confused. When did you inexplicably offend a master?

It's a pity that there is still too little information and too trivial, and there is no answer to such a core question at all, so Li Xun can only have preliminary doubts and wait until after the war.

In addition, Li Xun was quite interested in the source of information in their mouths. During the time they were discussing behind closed doors, detailed information was constantly being passed from around the Arcane Tower of Istir, which fully indicated that the manpower they had assigned had closely monitored the surroundings of the Arcane Tower.

For these surveillance eyes planted at the door of his home, Li Xun did not have the mood to tolerate and connive. With the help of the ontology as a bridge, Li Xun soon relayed the situation here to Cilis, who was sitting in the Arcane Tower.

As a result, many locals and outsiders who have lived in the city of Oneros all their lives had the privilege of witnessing a scene that left them jaw-dropping.

Since the Arcane Tower of Isdir was in operation again, it has attracted many traveling mages and mage apprentices, making the magic circle of Oneros City thriving again.

At night, the magical glow of the towering towers of the Arcane Tower becomes a sight to behold in the city.

But today, at noon, the busiest hour of the day, the Arcane Tower of Istil suddenly shone brightly. The magical glow even covered the warm winter sun hanging high in the sky for a while, and the magical energy that was so powerful that it made people palpitate began to condense in the tower.

The flow of magical energy is triggering and changing the normal order of heaven and earth, and the whole world seems to be changing abnormally with it!

Everyone inexplicably walked out of the house, walked out of the shop, and stood on the street looking at the Arcane Tower that was gathering strength, and all kinds of discussions and gossip spread far away. Some of the old residents of Oneros were even more surprised, because in their memory, every time such an anomaly appeared, it usually meant that there was an invasion of foreign enemies!

Now is the most stable period for the kingdom, where are the foreign enemies? Could it be that the demonic beasts in the mountains of Filas have escaped?

Just as everyone was talking, the door of the Arcane Tower of Isdir opened under the watchful eye, and a group of strangely shaped iron golems walked out with heavy steps under the command of the caster, and assembled in the wide city square.

When the procession was assembled, the inhabitants and travelers gathered around the square were immediately shocked and horrified by the neatly arranged Iron Legion.

Although the Iron Golem is not a high-end commodity among the constructed creatures, for ordinary humans who are new to magical creations, the huge steel body of nearly 3 meters, and the heavy and thick steel arm and iron fist, are already out-and-out steel monsters. Even if such an iron guy does not use any weapons, he can overthrow an entire army of heavily armed city guards with his bare hands. In front of him, there are as many as 30 such iron-clad monsters.

Just when the people were in a state of panic, the Arcane Tower, which had gathered enough magical energy, shook slightly, and a transparent light shield with a range of 5 miles immediately appeared, completely overturning the Arcane Tower and several surrounding streets. In an instant, the inside and outside of the mask became an insurmountable barrier, and anyone who did not break the mask would not want to enter and exit at will.

Oneros City is not large, and the city square where the Arcane Tower is located is still located in the center of the north point, so once this huge protective shield is propped up, it means that most of the city is enclosed in it, including the City Lord's Mansion.

Along with the shield, there was a ripple of the void that spread through people's hearts like water waves, and every creature swept by the ripples of the void would splash a faint magical brilliance around their bodies. Some are dark green, some are slightly brownish, more are light green and brownish, and a few are reddish.

Standing in the center of the city square and looking out into the distance, there are many colorful crowds crowded on the streets to watch the bustle.

This void ripple appeared so abruptly that even the heavy stone walls and door panels could not block it. Even if you hide in some dark underground chamber, only within the scope of the protective shield, you will be affected by this void ripple.

Just as everyone was looking around in confusion, constantly flicking the faint fluorescence in front of them with their hands and not touching anything, the group of iron golems standing in the center of the city square moved under the command of the floating mages one by one.

All the Iron Golems worked in pairs, under the command of the mage, with heavy steps, and rushed towards the surrounding crowd, aiming directly at the ones who glowed red.

At the same time, a sweet female voice suddenly came from the Arcane Tower, and the voice was the manager of the Arcane Tower, the beautiful Mage Cialis.

"Residents and outsiders of Oneros City, a band of evil people have recently invaded our city with the intention of mutilating living beings and performing evil magical rituals. So, as the administrator of the Arcane Tower in this city, I want to warn everyone! Please be careful of the guys whose bodies glow red during the magic ritual just now, they are the infected with evil hearts. The Iron Guards sent by our Arcane Tower will capture them one by one and carefully check them.

We must not tolerate these evil people, otherwise it will be unarmed civilians who will suffer. Please refrain from harboring such an enemy, and I can offer generous rewards to those who can cooperate with us in our capture of the villains.

In the process of arresting cultists, the victims of any loss of property can be compensated accordingly. Please don't panic, and don't hinder the magic guard in carrying out their official duties, thank you! ”

Cialis's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the city of Oneros under the transmission of magical power, and it could be heard clearly even if she was hiding a few meters underground. So all the civilians, adventurers, and wanderers scurried around in disbelief, looking for the terrible cultists described by the Arcane Tower.

Just when everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do, a cry suddenly came from a corner of the square.

"There's a cultist here...... I...... My carriage...... There's a cultist in there! ……”

Everyone followed the reputation, and a guy who looked like a coachman was covered in yellow light, and was running away from his carriage. Through the curtain lifted on half of the side, everyone could see that an inconspicuous short and fat merchant was emerging from it, and his body was rippled with a bright red light.

The Iron Guard who came out of the sky immediately had two Iron Golems temporarily turn around, and under the guidance of a floating mage in a gorgeous suit, they rushed towards the carriage.

"Knock knock......" The Iron Golem's footsteps were heavy, and everywhere it passed, the ground trembled slightly. Some of the civilians who were standing a little closer had never seen such a fierce and hideous iron guy, and one by one they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, making way for a wide avenue leading to the carriage.

The short and fat merchant was obviously frightened, and crawled out of the carriage with weak hands and feet, and looked up to see the steel monster that was about to rush in front of him, and his face instantly turned pale. He hurriedly took out a small and delicate spell scroll from his bosom and tore it open without hesitation. So, in an instant, a dense magical light enveloped him.

"Escape Scroll".

A spell scroll that is a specialty of the Crane Continent, which can mark a location within 30 miles, and as long as it is within the shroud range of the location, it can be returned here in an instant with the power of the scroll.

So when the brilliance of the teleportation spell enveloped his body, the Humpty Dumpty merchant was relieved. Although the mission failed inexplicably, he escaped after all, didn't he? Comfortably, he smiled at the iron guy who cast a huge shadow on him.

"Goodbye, Iron Pimples!"

"Poof...... There was a strange sound similar to an airbag leaking, and the teleportation light that lingered around his side flashed a few times, and it was inexplicably extinguished. And the Iron Golem that rushed to front of him had already stretched out his big hand and grabbed him in his hand. The power of the Iron Golem was not something that ordinary humans could withstand, and the Humpty Dumpty Merchant immediately howled in a series of loud voices, and his entire body made a crunchy sound under the squeezing of steel.

The Iron Golem was too violent, and when it stopped on the spot, the iron foot rubbed a dazzling spark with the bluestone slab, and when he pressed it on the old carriage, the entire carriage was crushed into debris in plain sight.

The Iron Golem held the "prisoner" into two large iron hands, and the ten thick iron fingers that branched out resembled a simple iron cage. The blood mage floating in mid-air flew over slowly, looked at the shivering merchant hiding in the "cage", and sneered with disdain: "Casting teleportation spells inside the arcane tower spell barrier? You're really creative. If that allows you to escape, what do you think is the value of an Arcane Tower? ”

"Hey, you...... I'm talking about you, your carriage is damaged, it's a work-related injury, take out this money to buy a new carriage! The Blood Mage stood tall in the air, shouted a few words at the coachman arrogantly, threw out a small money bag, and landed in front of the stunned coachman in a graceful arc.

The money pouch was obviously not tightly tied, and as it landed, it bounced a few times, and two or three glittering gold coins popped out of it. The people present are all veterans who are proficient in this way, and the approximate value of the money bag can be estimated in an instant just from the size and weight of the money. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, these gold coins were more than enough to buy a new carriage.

The magnanimity of the mages is as popular as it is rumored.
