Chapter 128 127. The murderer who destroyed the Mage Tower
“Don’t panic, it was just an accident...”
Annan, who was suddenly surrounded by darkness and unknown, maintained his composure.
"Let us try to restore the mage tower first... Tower spirit, are you still there?"
The empty control layer only has the echo of Annan and the faint sounds from other layers.
Chaos is brewing as the mage tower loses power.
Just as Annan was trying to carry the rhombus crystal back to the base through the dim light of the red ghost, a stream of fire appeared in the night sky. At first it flickered outside Breeze City, then it quickly became clear, dragging a straight trail towards the Mage Tower. Countless residents looked up at it as if it were an illusion, and entered the dark Mage Tower.
But for Annan, who is facing the "meteor" at the control level at this moment, it is another matter. The miraculous holy flame enveloped a vague outline, and the blazing flame almost burned away the soul, illuminating the entire control floor:
The boy in the mage's robe held the rhombus crystal stone stiffly, and beside him there were A sneaky ghost holding only the Philosopher's Stone.
“It’s not what you see...”
As the words fell, Annan was shrouded in white light and lost his mind——
I don’t know how much time passed, Annan’s consciousness recovered as the white light in his field of vision dimmed, and a cold snort escaped the harsh and rapid buzzing in his mind.
"I saw it pass through your head. The scum in the ditch..."
This kind of foul language seemed to make Annan see the second Michael.
The outline of flames began to restore the mage tower - the raging magic power that suffocated Annan emerged like a stormy wave. It condenses and crystallizes to form a diamond-shaped crystal that resurfaces on the red copper base.
The restored light dispels the darkness that enveloped the mage tower.
"Solve this matter, you can continue to stay in the mage tower, otherwise get out."
The grumpy existence said to Annan, turned into a meteor again, and has not dissipated along the way. The wake leaves Breeze City.
At first Annan could still recall the words and outlines, but as if they had faded over countless years, the existence of the outlines quickly became blurred. Only the pale crystal that had lost its energy lay on the ground, silently telling what had happened before.
“Why can’t I remember...”
"Legendary characteristics, unrecognizable." The restored tower spirit halo whispered, "Your Excellency Agarwal came here just now and restored the mage tower."
Annan realized why he didn't see it after coming to Breeze City Live a legend. Perhaps I had seen it at some point - but was forced to forget it.
“Can’t spells below the eighth level affect crystal stones? Why does the mage tower fail?”
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm - but for those who were huddled in the corner holding the magic stone and shivering. The Red Ghost is not. The emotion exuded by that Agarwal sir almost killed it.
“The control crystal of the Mage Tower has been tampered with, and Lord Agarwal asked you to help the Mage Tower find the murderer.”
Annan took this opportunity to remember his forgotten words: Deal with the scum, or get out.
“Where should I go to find the murderer?”
“The control layer has advanced recording technology and can find clues.”
Clattering footsteps appeared outside the control layer , a demon doll appeared holding the Magic Stone of Record.
"As a tower spirit, don't you know?" Annan comforted the frightened ghost.
"There are many nobles visiting the operation floor."
A magic image appeared in the sky above the magic stone held by the puppet.
Annan looked at the image and regained his peace of mind.
Legend...
Annan has raised his concept of legend countless times because of the bard's legendary chapters, but he still does not have a clear understanding... just like the description in words is always pale and weak. .
The legendary mage seems to have broken away from the category of human beings and become as powerful as a god. .
The legendary mage ignored the "dregs in the ditch" he called them and handed them to himself. Are they insignificant, or do he not care? Annan asked the tower spirit to only select images with visitors, and while watching a group of mage apprentices curiously visit the operation floor, he asked: "Is the magic circuit of the mage tower easily tampered with?"
" Only an epic spellcaster can do it."
After receiving the answer, Annan almost said "No need to look anymore" - Augusta Olmedo's vicissitudes of face appeared in front of him uncontrollably.
This will undoubtedly be the best evidence to identify Augusta Olmedo.
“Have Augusta Olmedo been here?”
“No.”
“Have you never been to the Mage Tower or the control floor?”
“None have been here.”
Ta Ling wiped away Annan's expectations.
At this time, a group of noble ladies burst into the magical image. Annan was still thinking about the disaster after the Mage Tower failed: according to the speed at which the legendary mage arrived, the tower owner should be near Breeze City. But if he wasn't there...the mage tower guarding Breeze City would fall into silence.
So when did this tampering begin? Who did it?
Ratman? Or the devil north of the snowy mountains?
In the magical image, ladies surround the diamond-shaped crystal. Women are like dragons, shiny things always attract their attention.
Annan's eyes regained some focus because he saw a familiar figure among the ladies surrounding the rhombus crystal.
The beautiful countess and other noble ladies rubbed the rhombus crystal indiscriminately, and then moved around the base to the back. When no one was paying attention, she suddenly and strangely placed her entire palm on the crystal.
The tower spirit exuded a hazy halo: "It seems that you have found the murderer."
Annan looked at the magic image with complexity, and the countess returned to the ladies and continued to chat elegantly. .
“…When did this happen?”
"About two months ago."
It was very close to the time when Levis was attacked. Coincidentally, Earl Morgan also died during that time.
The ratmen disguised as humans...the ratmen who long for the blood of warlocks...
"What are you going to do with the Mage Tower?"
"Your Excellency Agarwal asked you to solve it Mage Tower will not interfere in this matter." Tower Spirit's answer was to do nothing.
Annan faces three choices at this moment:
Find the countess and threaten her. You don’t want this evidence to appear in the scavenger headquarters, right?
Capture the countess.
Tell the scavenger about this.
"Would you mind if I informed the Scavenger Mage Tower?"
"Your Excellency Agarwal asked you to resolve this matter, and Mage Tower will not interfere."
Annan made a choice. He returned to the second floor, stood in front of the guardrail, and announced to the mages in the hall: "The loss of control just now occurred on the control floor. Fortunately, Mr. Agarwal came to solve the crisis, but I have to tell you some bad news... …”
“The rat men hiding in Breeze City planned all of this.”
The echoing shouts gradually quieted down the mages, looking at the King of the North emerging on the second floor. .
“I must hand over the evidence to the scavengers, but they also saw the scene when the mage tower went out of control. The Skaven will not allow this news to be sent to the scavenger headquarters.”
"Young and wise mages, I need your help, but do you know if you have courage and integrity in your body?"
