Chapter 1022

"Only magic can deal with magic? Ha!" the man with beard couldn't help laughing. "Don't put too much gold on your face, master melrott. As far as I know, there are many casters who die under daggers and swords every year. And as long as you give me enough stone throwing tools, I'm sure to attack the magic tower in the city in three days."

"Fool! Do you think the magic towers stacked with cheap materials in our small town can compare with those high-level magic towers with perfect facilities? No! Go and see the super giant magic towers in capitals of various countries! Even if cities and palaces are captured, there will never be a step closer. The power of magic is 1000 or 10000 times stronger than you think!"

The old man, known as master melrott, retorted impolitely with a gloomy face.

As the supreme leader of the city's caster, he knows too well how powerful a real magic tower is. If the other party is really like what those adventurers describe, even tens of thousands of troops can't expect to get close.

Most importantly, if you accidentally provoke each other and lead to endless retaliation, I'm afraid the city will soon turn into ruins, or it will involve the whole country.

However, it is a pity that the man with thick beard obviously doesn't understand this hardship and still insists: "Lord! Think about it! A magic tower full of all kinds of rare treasures is next to your territory. As long as you can capture and occupy it, you can not only obtain unimaginable wealth, but also countless magic knowledge and skills. With these, you and your family can change your destiny in a short time, and even enter the court to communicate with kings and dukes Sit together and discuss important things. "

You don't have to ask. His words made the LORD a little excited. He took the initiative to turn around and ask the old man close at hand: "master melrot, do you really think it's beyond our ability to occupy that mage tower?"

"That's right! I promise, Lord, if you listen to this knight with the idea of killing and plundering in your mind, you will regret your decision very much. Please remember, magic is not a sword, nor is it a right. It is beyond the control of ordinary people. Only those extremely intelligent geniuses can spy on the secret behind magic." Melrott gave a sincere explanation.

"Or... Let's send an emissary to find out first? As far as I know, it seems that a magic apprentice named Allen has stayed in the tower. Maybe you can send someone to get some necessary information from him." the LORD said his idea very carefully.

After all, even fools know that they should first have a general understanding of their enemies before starting a war, otherwise rashly declaring war on an enemy they don't know at all is basically no different from looking for death.

"When it is strong, it is soft, and when it is weak, it is deceptive."

This is the style of conduct of the vast majority of countries and forces, with few exceptions.

Melrot was undoubtedly very clear about the Lord's inner plan and sighed helplessly: "Alas, well, I can send someone to inquire. However, you'd better not hold too much hope. Compared with Allen, since he was willing to stay, he must have taken refuge in the master of the magic tower and even signed a binding magic contract."

"Please don't worry about this. In addition to the apprentice, I will send two elite teams to participate in the killing game. They will also undertake the task of collecting intelligence." after that, the Lord winked at his knights.

The latter understood and immediately turned and disappeared at the end of the dark passage.

About half an hour or so, a team of 30 fully armed men slowly left the city gate and advanced towards the location of the high tower in the deep forest.

Looking at the fading back of the team, the woman hiding in the crowd suddenly asked her companions: "what do you think the chances of these guys coming back alive?"

"Zero! They can't come back!" the little man who kept himself in the shadow gave a chilling answer.

"You're right! We came back alive because the owner of the tower wanted to pick up our mouth, spread the news and attract more people to die. Now his goal has been achieved, so it's not necessary to keep these bad guys. I think not only these families will be unlucky, but our Lord will be doomed." The middle-aged man explained meaningfully.

Obviously, they are members of the adventure team released by Zhang Cheng before. At present, they have become influential figures in the city. They have to attend all kinds of banquets almost every day and disclose the information they know.

Of course, in addition to the muscular men who only know how to eat and drink and develop super friendship with those hungry and thirsty women, the rest of the team know that they are afraid to leave the city soon.

As for the reason, it is quite simple. With the departure of the first batch of teams looking for high towers, bad news will be sent back soon.

At that time, all the nobles who have suffered heavy losses will regard them as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Maybe they will pull down their face and directly rob themselves of the magical equipment and weapons that they risk their lives and get back by fighting rewards.

……

At the same time, in the high tower deep in the forest, Allen didn't know that great trouble had come. He stayed in the library and forgot to eat and sleep. The books on the reader's bookshelf recorded countless magic knowledge and alchemy skills, almost each of which could bring great surprise and inspiration.

Although he had never had the opportunity to enter the library of magic towers in big cities, he was convinced that even the best magic towers on the road could not have more books and recorded a wider range of knowledge.

In order to master more knowledge in the shortest time, he did not hesitate to abandon health and sleep. He spent almost 24 hours in the library. When he was hungry, he asked the maid to bring him some simple food. When he was thirsty, he poured a cold spring. When he was sleepy, he lay on the floor and slept.

No bath!

Don't wash your face!

Don't wash your hair!

Don't brush your teeth!

Although her whole body was dirty enough to suffocate people, Ellen's heart was full of excitement and joy.

He could feel that his spell casting ability was improving geometrically as he mastered more and more knowledge.

When he was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge, he didn't realize that Zhang Cheng had quietly arranged thousands of various monsters in the dense forest outside, so many that he had driven all the animals in the surrounding area out.

Especially after the day is dark, those eyes with strange light can definitely scare people to death.
