Almighty Alchemist
Chapter 82: Arcane Tower (Part 1)
After entrusting the matter to Pamela, Huey returned to Buckler.
The bandit leader was a little worried: "Are you sure she can do it?"
"To be honest, I don't know." Xiu Yi smiled wryly: "In my impression, Madam is a gentle, kind, intelligent, and virtuous woman. She has never done such a thing..."
"It's funny, this is the first time I've heard you praise someone so unreservedly, and it's a woman, a woman with no power to restrain the chicken."
"Maybe." Xiu Yi smiled.
He didn't answer Buckler's words, but fixed his gaze on a group of people in the distance—a group of guests wearing mage robes of various colors.
They were located about 100 meters away from Xiuyi, and the leader was an old man in a plain blue-gray robe. His appearance was ordinary, with a slightly elongated face, deep-set eye sockets, and a slightly bowed back.
The most striking thing is that this old man actually has a pair of protruding ears.
But such an ordinary and even ugly old man was surrounded by three gold-robed mages and a large group of purple-robed and red-robed mages.
"That's Nicolas Cage?" Huey asked Buckler while watching.
Nicolas Cage, this name is no stranger to Xiu Yi, and in another memory of his life, there is also such a celebrity. But in the Lance Empire, only one person is qualified to use this name. During the period when he became famous, no one surnamed Cage dared to use the name Nicholas. Because he is one of the two sanctuaries of mages in the Lance Empire, the president of the Lance Empire Mage Association.
Because of his existence, those with protruding ears can even walk with their chests upright, and proudly say: "That is the symbol of the sanctuary."
And now, the sanctuary is there, amidst a large crowd of guests.
"You'd better stop staring at him, you will be discovered by him." Buckler warned in a low voice.
Xiu Yi replied lightly: "Don't worry, he will never notice me because of this. There are tens of thousands of guests here, and everyone will take a few extra glances when they see the sanctuary. It is impossible for him to be alert after I glance at him. It will exhaust his sensory ability."
Even if Nicholas is a sanctuary, no matter how strong his sensitivity is, it is impossible to detect someone's special gaze from the countless eyes that pay attention to him. In fact, when it comes to special eyes, there may not be fewer people in the world than Xiuyi Hate Magic Association.
It seems that Xiu Yi's message to Violet has already had an effect, and all the members of the Arcane Tower are dispatched, ready to catch the turtle. The only thing they need now is to wait for Raschel to find Xiu Yi.
Thinking of this, Xiu Yi smiled slightly: "The time is almost up, let Lei Lei and the others know, let's do it."
Buckler nodded, and put his hand into his shirt calmly.
A stream of magical energy spread out silently.
—————————————
Hamil District, the northern suburb of Winnington.
Raleigh Yessa, dressed as a homeless man, lolls in front of a restaurant.
After more than half a year of serving as a noble servant, Lei Lei finally returned to his previous life. The long-lost feeling of freedom made him feel so comfortable that even the few Copper Witts who passed by were by his side.
"Hey, you bastard, get out of my place. Today is His Majesty's birthday, and the whole city is celebrating it. His Majesty invited all the common people to a banquet. You stupid idiot, go get free food!" The restaurant owner yelled at the homeless man. The emperor's generosity made all the restaurants go out of business. If it weren't for the crowded places where they had to queue up for several hours to get a piece of food, maybe the boss would have eaten a free meal by himself.
Lei Lei rolled his eyes and looked at the restaurant owner.
His disdainful eyes made the boss a little annoyed, and he walked over with his fist as big as a bowl, and kicked Lei Lei fiercely in the waist: "What? Are you bastard trying to get rough with me? I told you to get out, did you hear me?"
"I heard, master." Lei Lei slowly got up, and slapped the dust on his body: "You know, master, I have seen people like you a lot. You are a group of cowards who are arrogant on the surface, but are actually as timid as a mouse. As long as I want, I can beat you all over the place at any time. But you are lucky today, I am not interested in beating you. Remember that you owe me a kick, maybe I will come back to ask you for the debt at any time."
"Ha, what a big tone, how dare a homeless man threaten me?" The boss was a little angry. He waved to the restaurant, and several guys came over. It seemed that if Lei Lei didn't leave, the other party would really have to make a move.
Lei Le raised his neck: "No one told you, are you really annoying?"
A clerk stood between Lei Lei and the boss: "Get out, or get beaten, you choose."
There was a gleam of ferocity in Lei Lei's eyes. The anger in the heart of this vicious bandit from the Bilias mountain area had already risen. He was hesitating whether he should immediately beat up the annoying person in front of him, but the pendant on his ear vibrated a few times.
Buckler's order came: "Act now."
"You guys are lucky." Lei Lei said viciously to the restaurant owner and the guy.
He leaves the restaurant.
The restaurant owner and the waiter sneered. In their view, this level of homeless threat is not worth mentioning at all.
But the next moment, they quickly discovered that something was wrong.
Dozens of men with different costumes suddenly appeared in all directions, some were coachmen, some were shopkeepers, and a few seemingly unrelated passers-by were walking towards the same direction at the same time - the Arcane Tower.
The Arcane Tower, which is a special name for the headquarters of the Imperial Magicians Association, is also the sacred place most yearned for by all magicians.
This is a huge eighteen-story tower, which was built for the magicians by the order of Georgia Forlan the Great. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the empire are eligible to enter here, delve into magic, and enjoy noble treatment.
For many years, although this place is not a place of incense, it is similar to a place of incense. Every year, many people come from afar to observe the Arcane Tower from afar, kneel down devoutly, and pray for blessings. Instead of praying for the blessing of the gods, they appealed directly to the magicians.
The Arcane Tower does not have any special precautions. The people who live in the tower are the most powerful existence and the best defense force. Since the establishment of the Arcane Tower, it has never encountered any form of attack.
Only lunatics and fools would think of doing this kind of thing, but today, it will actually happen.
Walking to the front of the Arcane Tower and standing still twenty meters away, Lei Lei looked at the two guards guarding the door, and he curled his lips: "Kill them."
"Shua!"
More than a dozen former bandits raised their crossbows at the same time, and the shining crossbow tip flew away from the bowstring, piercing the heart of the guard.
The four bandits rushed into the tower quickly, guarding the intersection, careful not to let the people inside rush out, and the rest of the bandits began to file into the tower. They moved quickly, cooperated closely, and did not make a sound. Some of them carried steel knives, some held crossbows, and some stood outside the tower with bare hands, looking around vigilantly.
Lei Lei Dama Jindao arrived at the bottom of the Arcane Tower, and it was quiet here at the moment, and no one had noticed them rushing in.
The Arcane Tower is a place for magicians to do academic research. Usually, everyone works with the door closed, and only the servants walk around. Today, many mages are not in the tower, and there are very few mages left behind, so they appear to be much colder, so that Lei Lei and the others killed the guards and no one noticed.
Seeing this situation, Lei Lei curled his lips: "First, control the area below the third floor. Bart, Fan Xin, you two take a few brothers to clean up, Bass, move the things here."
Under Lei Lei's command, the bandits acted one after another, releasing the wind, killing people, and blocking the blockade. At the very center of the bottom of the tower, Lei Lei took a large wooden box from his men.
He opened the lid of the box very carefully, and took out some magic crystals, some special materials, and some golden oil marked "extremely dangerous"...
The people in the Arcane Tower didn't know what happened, but the people outside the tower could see it clearly.
The owner of the restaurant was terrified. He saw with his own eyes that the gang of lunatics had blatantly killed the guards of the Arcane Tower in broad daylight and rushed into the tower.
"By God, I must be hallucinating!" The restaurant owner was dripping with sweat.
At this time, the killing in the Arcane Tower had just begun.
A magician is doing research in his room.
When he heard the door at the back, he thought it was a servant who came in, and he shouted with some dissatisfaction: "I told you not to disturb me if I have nothing to do!"
"I'm sorry, sir." A cold word woke up the magician who was intoxicated in the study.
A big man stood at the door, pointing the crossbow at himself: "Remember my name, my name is Fan Xin, sir."
Pull the bowstring.
Putting the crossbow away, Fan Xin kicked the magician's corpse, sneered and quickly walked towards the next door. Two servants just came out from the inner door and met Fan Xin face to face, both of them froze for a while.
Fan Xin raised his finger to his mouth and made a shh gesture. He pointed at the two servants with the crossbow in his hand, and then waved it to the side. The two servants immediately understood, shut up and walked away. Fan Xin came to the door where the servant came out, squinted his eyes to look inside, and saw a young magician rolling around with his arms around a woman.
"Wow." Fan Xin felt like whistling. Although he knew that magicians did not abstain from sex, he was still a little uncomfortable with this situation. But the most important thing is, should we kill that woman together?
Perhaps because of following Xiu Yi for a long time and being influenced, Fan Xin quickly made a decision.
He slightly adjusted the position of the crossbow, aiming at the side of the magician's neck.
cough!
The small arrow went in from one side of the magician's neck, and then out from the other side, just in time to fix the magician's head on the wall.
Blood dripped drop by drop on the face of the girl below him.
"ah!"
The girl let out a cry of terror.
"Damn, I hate this!" Fan Xin was completely angry, he rushed in and punched the screaming girl unconscious: "Good intentions will never be rewarded!"
Although they already knew that the attack on the Arcane Tower could not be carried out in secret all the time, but at the same time everyone was swearing fiercely in their hearts, at least they were not the ones who made the opponent sound or warn.
Fan Xin is very unlucky, the problem came out of his hands, and he will be taught a lesson by the boss after he returns.
"What happened?" People on the tower came out to ask.
Then they were shocked to see dozens of crossbows pointed at themselves outside.
The sound of the bowstring was like the sound of heaven, and it was heard endlessly. It shot into the rushing mages, and shot them into a sieve.
A dead magician finally yelled before dying: "We are under attack!!!"
This cry made the entire Arcane Tower boil.
The magician who was attacked was not as good as a commoner, but if he was prepared, he would no longer be so easy to deal with.
A strange spell sounded like a melody, and a lot of strange colors began to appear in the air.
Several bandits responsible for blocking the upper and lower entrances and exits of the tower retracted their crossbows at the same time, the light of the magic patterns on their bodies shone, and the vacuum barrier was activated.
Countless fireballs, ice balls, wind balls, and other magic spells are being generated in the air, smashing towards the bandits. In order not to damage the arcane tower, the magician did not dare to use too powerful spells, but dozens of secondary spells were expected to be enough to kill the attacker.
The vacuum barrier can withstand all types of damage. The ice, fire and frost blades fall on the vacuum barrier, stirring up a large amount of energy sparks, but they can't hurt the people in the barrier at all.
Attacking and defending turned into a constant stalemate tug-of-war at this moment. Interestingly, the defender was not the one being attacked, but the attacker—Leiler's people didn't seem to intend to rush to a higher level of the Arcane Tower. They only planned to block all the people in the tower at the entrance and exit, so that they could not come out of the tower.
From a tactical point of view, this is a very good choice. No matter how huge the tower is, it is still a tower after all, and the size of the upper and lower entrances is always limited. As long as a few people are sent to block it, it will be very difficult for the people above to get down. When a bandit releases the vacuum enchantment and gradually feels exhausted, another bandit will quickly replace him. The person who was replaced began to pour potions. It is really good to have an alchemist as a master, and it doesn't cost money to take medicine.
At the same time, Leile Yesa was nervously arranging the magic circle that he had practiced countless times before.
———————
The twelfth floor of the Arcane Tower.
Waking up from deep meditation, Eldrette's ears were filled with shouts of killing.
"What happened?" he yelled angrily.
A magician stumbled in and rushed in: "Master Eldrett, someone has entered the Arcane Tower."
"What?" Eldrette was taken aback by the news.
But he quickly calmed down: "Do you know who it is?"
"It's not very clear, but the opponent's organization is tight. They entered by sneak attack, and now they have occupied the lower three floors of the tower. Their people are now blocking the entrance and exit. We are trying to break the barrier, but we cannot use too powerful spells in the tower. But we found..."
"Find what?"
"We found that the people who intercepted were using the same spell, vacuum enchantment. And during the process of their casting, we didn't feel any magic power fluctuations in their bodies."
Eldrette suddenly stood up: "You mean... the magic pattern?"
"Yes, Lord Eldrette, I think only Hugh Igles has the courage to do such a thing."
Eldrette gasped. Hugh Igles would actually send someone to attack the Arcane Tower at this time. Obviously, he knew that this was the moment when the Arcane Tower's defense was weakest. In his view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A sternness appeared in Eldrette's eyes: "Hugh Igles, if you really think so, I will prove you wrong."
As the guardian mage of the Arcane Tower, the president and several other seventh-level archmages are not here, and Eldrett is the person with the highest status here. The next moment he ordered in a deep voice: "Hugh Iglesle has already spread the magic pattern, and immediately launched a strong attack on the vacuum barrier, killing all the people with the magic pattern. Don't worry, the arcane tower is made of the best anti-magic material and the hardest stone, and it is not so easy to be dismantled."
Following Eldrette's order, the magic of attacking the vacuum barrier was significantly strengthened, and the pressure on the interceptor increased greatly.
Bart was the one in charge of intercepting. He turned around and shouted, "Leiler, are you okay? I can't stand it anymore!"
"There are still five minutes! This thing is very troublesome, we must be very careful, otherwise we will hurt ourselves!" Lei Lei shouted.
Eldrette had reached the fourth floor of the tower at this time, and more than a dozen magicians were gathering around him, aiming at the vacuum barrier in front of them and bombarding them wildly, and the fight was very lively. The opponent just used the crossbow to fight back, all the strength was used to support the vacuum barrier, one went down, and another came up.
Eldrette's face was gloomy: "What are they trying to do? Did they come to the Arcane Tower just to block us here?"
A magician replied, "That is indeed strange, my lord, and I suspect they are stalling for time."
delay? Eldrette was taken aback, and he quickly called out, "Fitch, use your Celestial Eye to see what's going on under the tower!"
A middle-aged mage agreed, and immediately used enough mana, his eyes turned a strange red, as if he could penetrate the void and see the endless vastness.
A deep tone sounded from the mage named Fei Qi: "I saw someone setting up a magic circle, but I can't tell what kind of magic circle it is."
Set up the magic circle? Eldrette's heart was beating wildly. He didn't ignore what Hugh Iglesel was best at?
"Is that Hugh Iglesel?" he asked sharply.
"No, no, it should be his subordinate, obviously a novice, moving very slowly and carefully."
"Be careful? Look at the materials."
"There are a lot of magic crystals, there are a lot of fire-attributed materials, and there are some strange golden oils."
Golden oil? A term immediately appeared in Eldrette's mind—the oil of sacrifice.
"Not good!" Eldrette was so frightened that his face turned blue: "His people are setting up an explosive magic circle, repairing the bastard Igleer, he is going to blow up the entire arcane tower!"
This sentence scared everyone.
The arcane tower is a symbol of the status of magicians, a representative of their glory and dignity.
Xiu Yiglaier's shot was fierce, and his way of teaching the lesson was simple: Aren't you worried that the magic pattern will affect your status? I simply removed the sign representing your status first, so as to save you from worrying about this and that.
Only those who have everything worry about losing. If they have already lost, they have nothing to worry about.
Without Eldrett's order, the magic attacking the vacuum barrier has been strengthened again, and all the magicians are desperately attacking the intercepting party at this moment.
Eldrette took a deep breath, and a handful of strange golden powder appeared in his hand.
He sprinkled the golden powder on the ground, showing a brilliant brilliance, forming a strange circle of light.
The magician next to him was horrified when he saw this: "Master Eldrett, do you want to rush over by yourself?"
Eldrette replied in a gloomy tone: "Who knows when the magic circle will be set up? I can't wait here. Xiu Yiglaer is not here, and his subordinates are a bunch of trash. There is no point in waiting here. I will go over and kill them all."
"But……"
"No, but you can just hold them back here." Eldrette waved his hand, and his whole body was merged into the golden light circle, and gradually disappeared.
