Warhammer Wizard

Pallas floating city.

The Duke of Redstone stood alone, watching the wizards clean up the ruins of the tower with a blank expression, and people around didn't dare to approach him.

"teacher."

Montalin appeared in front of him and gave a respectful cry.

The Duke of Red Rock turned his head to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Has the loss been counted?"

"Yes."

Montalin's grim report: "The attack killed 396 people, of whom 38 were passengers and mechanics aboard two enchanted airships, 45 were residents killed in various parts of the city, and the remaining 313... ..." TV updates the fastest (com)//

When he said this, he carefully looked at the teacher's face. Seeing that the teacher's expression had not changed, he continued: "The vast majority of these 313 people are teachers and students of the Magic Academy, who failed to escape in time when the tower exploded and collapsed."

The Duke of Redstone's heart twitched violently.

The floating city of Pallas dominates the entire northern prairie. Its actual fiefdom area is more than ten times larger than that of other dukes. It almost monopolizes the trade routes to the north and northwest of the empire. , so rich in financial resources, richer than Nether.

Relying on the unimaginable wealth of ordinary people, Pallas Floating City has widely recruited students, invested resources regardless of cost, and cultivated a large number of wizards.

After more than two hundred years of accumulation, the number of Pallas wizards exceeds one thousand, second only to Nether and second in all floating cities.

Before the undead natural disaster, Wezeland only had more than 500 wizards at most.

This is also the capital that Pallas dares to fight with Wezeland.

Now, more than 300 wizards have been killed in one attack, a reduction of nearly one-third. Years of investment and hard work are all in vain, and the loss can no longer be described as heavy.

The Duke of Redstone felt blood dripping from his heart.

The losses of the North Tower were dominated by wizards.

The South Tower is his magic laboratory and warehouse, which contains wealth worth more than fifty million gold shields, including countless alchemy materials, magic souls, potions and precious magic items. People can't bear it.

Many things cannot be bought with money, and their value is inestimable.

Pallas's overall strength was set back at least fifty years.

In the next few years, repairing the control array of Eola's core will require millions of gold shields. Pallas will land on the ground, and the core of Eola will not be used. The magic protection of the floating city will fail. I don't know how many enemies will be attracted. spying.

Pallas suffered such a major blow, and his personal prestige was also affected, especially at the juncture of just being promoted to one of the three giants of the empire.

The Duke of Redstone grew angrier the more he thought about it.

Obviously just half a month ago, everything was going well. According to the plan, he would lead the two floating cities of Pallas and Nether, to become the leader of the Nether faction and take charge of the empire.

However, things took a turn for the worse.

Not only did Nether Floating City fail to succeed, but even his own Pallas suffered.

Who is it?

The handsome face of a young man immediately appeared in the Duke of Redstone's mind, and his anger suddenly surged, even the will of truth was difficult to suppress, and he whispered: "Ren Augustus!"

From the first time I heard this name, the Duke of Redstone was very upset, because Ren broke his record as the youngest legendary wizard, but he didn't particularly care.

Then he kept hearing people talk about this man.

Various heroic deeds, unprecedented speed of cultivation, people always compare Ren with themselves. As a great Holy Soul Wizard, the first genius in history, he can't compare, and he has become a stepping stone for a young boy.

The more times he was compared, the worse his impression of Rennes, even if he had never seen it before.

Then came the opening ceremony of the Wizarding Exchange.

Ren was once again in the limelight. The Duke of Redstone did not watch Ren's battle with Elder Nether with his own eyes, but from the video recording the battle, he could tell at a glance that Ren had the same will to truth as himself.

This made the Duke of Redstone feel threatened, and he was already hostile without seeing him.

When we met in person, what happened in that small plane, Ren ruined the big plan he had prepared for many years, and threatened himself in front of all the holy soul wizards, humiliating, never encountered such a big one in his life. frustration.

On that day, he swore in his heart that Ren would never give up until he died.

And won't let Ren die easily.

However, the Duke of Redstone did not act immediately when he returned to Pallas. He had more important things to do, and clearing Ren's hatred came in the back.

Ren is very disgusting. The Duke of Redstone has never hated a person so much, but he has to admit that Ren's talent and strength are extremely strong, faintly surpassing him, and he is backed by Weizeland and Anse Waldos, even if he is Thirty-three-level holy soul wizards should also be a little wary.

What terrified him most was that Ren was sheltered by the goddess of magic and could not easily attack.

So the Duke of Redstone chose to forbear for the time being.

As long as that thing is successful, even if Ren is promoted to the Holy Soul Wizard, even if Ren is a student of Anse Verdas, even if Ren has the grace of the goddess of magic, killing Ren at that time will be nothing for him. A trivial thing, as easy as killing an ant.

However, the whole plan was disrupted.

Today's attack stalled the plan for at least five years, and he was seriously injured. Before the floating city rose again, he was unable to retaliate.

It's such a coincidence.

As soon as he became revenge with Ren, Pallas was severely injured and his vitality was greatly damaged.

The Duke of Redstone couldn't help but wonder, could Ren do all of this?

When Montalin heard his name, his heart jumped and he said in shock, "Teacher, was that Earl of Glamorgan who attacked Pallas?"

He hadn't seen the wizard who is now the most popular in the Empire, but he had heard of all kinds of deeds. After the teacher returned to Pallas, he also asked himself to send someone to investigate the other party, and instructed to nail down a secret in Glamorgan to monitor the other party's every move.

The teacher didn't say the reason for this, but apparently regarded Ren as an enemy.

The Duke of Redstone did not respond.

He pondered for a long time, recalling the enemy he had just detected on the airship, his superb mastery of teleportation spells, and the dark wizard who committed suicide in the control room of the floating city, and finally shook his head.

Renn Augustus does not have such a great ability.

Not to mention that Ren is just a legendary wizard, and Weizelan behind him can't do it. Such a powerful and crazy move must be related to the gods.

"It shouldn't be him."

The Duke of Redstone is not so sure.

He opened the portal and entered the control room of the floating city, and Montallin quickly followed.

Nuoda's control room is like a bright hall. The rune formations on the ground and walls are bleak. It was destroyed by more than 70% in the explosion just now. The core of Eola in the hovering center rotates slowly, still like the sun. It emits endless rays of light, but it has stopped outputting energy.

The core of Eola was not extinguished, but stopped working temporarily.

The Duke of Redstone raised his hand and tapped.

An eight-level spell "Light and Shadow Recall" was released.

Montalin also has this spell, and has used it many times. A few years ago, one of Pallas's magical airships was robbed and killed, causing heavy losses, and he went to investigate it himself.

At the crash site of the airship, Montalin spent a long time investigating.

The robbery obviously happened in the sky, and it flew very far before the crash. It was difficult to judge the height and distance. It exceeded the range of light and shadow backtracking. He only saw the picture of the orc named "Bloxgar" robbing the wreckage of the airship, but The process of the battle taking place on the airship could not be found.

After that, the perpetrators disappeared.

The Dragonmaw clan also has no clue of this orc. It seems that there has never been an orc named "Bloxgar" in the world.

This remains an unsolved case in Pallas.

Fortunately, the teacher has been concentrating on doing magic experiments all these years, and only asked a few questions, and did not blame himself for his poor investigation.

Montalin recovered his mind.

The retrospective effect of light and shadow takes effect, and an illusion occurs in the control room, as if going back in time, replaying it in the direction of the past to show what happened.

Soon, the figure of the Duke of Redstone appeared in the illusion. He suppressed the process of the explosion with "distorted reality", which made Montallinn's heart skip a beat. Only then did he know what had just happened. Pallas almost crashed, so he couldn't help pinching it for the teacher. sweat.

The illusion continued to look back in the past, replaying the scene before the explosion.

A dark wizard with a skull mask appeared.

"Sacred Emblem of the Dark Sun!" Montalin exclaimed, "It turned out to be the believers of the fraudsters!"

"Not necessarily." The Duke of Redstone said lightly.

The dark wizard in the light and shadow stretched out his hand and pressed it on the black metal box for more than ten seconds, as if it was exploding the energy in the box.

"What it is?"

Montalin stared wide-eyed at the dark box.

With his knowledge, he has never seen this thing before. It is not like magic, nor is it a scroll. The principle of operation is also hidden in the box, so it is impossible to see it at all. The only thing that is certain is its power, which is more terrifying than the Nine Rings Extreme Pyroblast, which blew up two towers.

The Duke of Redstone didn't recognize either.

Obviously, the dark wizard deliberately used the black box as the outer shell to cover up the magic items inside, just because he didn't want people to know its origin.

Going back further, the two saw that the dark wizard performed five consecutive large cracking techniques, breaking the magical protection of Eola's core.

Judging from the process of releasing the big cracking technique, the opponent's arcane skills are extremely high. The eight-ring big cracking technique can be cast in only three seconds, and each big cracking technique hits the weak point of the protective array. Therefore, it takes only five spells to expose the core of Eola.

Montalin also has a great cracking technique, but he considers himself inferior to this dark wizard.

For him, at least decades of research.

"Who is this person?" Montalin was very puzzled. A wizard who can master the Great Disruption Technique to such a degree, at least a legendary pinnacle, must not be unknown.

But the other party seemed to not care about his own life at all, and directly blew himself up and died.

Montalin whispered: "Teacher, he must have a way to resurrect."

"Um."

The Duke of Redstone nodded, he had already thought about it.

The light and shadow went back to the moment when the dark wizard appeared. The two towers exploded and collapsed, causing the control room to vibrate violently, and there was a flaw in the magic protection.

A portal took the opportunity to open, and the dark wizard came out.

The light and shadow stopped at this picture.

When the two saw that the dark wizard was holding a Pallas badge in his hand, they were immediately puzzled. The Pallas badge is soul-bound, and even if you kill the bearer, you can't get the right to use it. The only person who can grant permission is the Duke of Redstone himself.

"How?" Neither of them understood.

The Duke of Redstone frowned, and he didn't even notice the abnormality of the badge.

If the soul binding of the badge is cracked, it means that there is a huge loophole in the magic protection of the floating city. As long as you kill any Pallas wizard and grab the badge, you can sneak into the floating city.

He looked carefully at the opposite side of the portal.

This should be somewhere in Pallas City, it seems to be a storage room.

Combined with the fluctuation frequency of the portal, after a while, the Duke of Redstone found a place, teleported directly, and performed "Light and Shadow Backtracking" again in that storage room.

This time the backtracking took longer.

He controlled the illusion to accelerate backwards until he saw the shadow of the dark wizard. I saw the dark wizard holding the Pallas badge in one hand, and kept casting spells in the other, opening random doors only half a meter high, leading to all parts of Pallas.

Each random door opened for only half a second, and the Dark Wizard threw a Childalin gem into it, then quickly closed.

This precious gem can store spells.

The Duke of Redstone and Montalin could tell at a glance that the Childalin gems thrown by the Dark Wizard had stored the six-ring Pyroblast technique, which would detonate as soon as they were thrown.

It was these gems that caused chaos in the city of Pallas and distracted the wizards.

When Montalin saw this scene, his face was very ugly.

I was misled by the other party, thinking that every explosion point in Pallas City was executed by an enemy, and ordered people to encircle and kill them.

The Duke of Redstone didn't care.

What he cares about is that the dark wizard can open any door at will in the floating city, and the number of times far exceeds the upper limit of the Pallas badge. This is the biggest problem.

Is the Pallas badge really cracked?

The light and shadow retrace abruptly stopped, the illusion in the storage room disappeared, and nothing could be seen.

"Arcane Disruption."

The Duke of Redstone said in a deep voice.

This is a 7th-level spell that blocks the effects of many arcane spells, including rewinding light and shadow, making it impossible to see what's going on at the time.

Clearly, there were important clues hidden in the disturbed period.

As for why the dark wizard didn't use arcane spells to disturb later, it is likely that the situation is urgent, and he must race against time to destroy the core of Eola. Don't care to be seen.

Not long after, Montalin received a report from the man below, identifying the holder of that badge of Pallas.

It was a Pallas psyker.

He was robbed of the badge for the advanced sleep technique in Urge City. The dark wizard did not kill him until he was woken up by his subordinate Chiyan Sword Guard.

Montalin rushed to the upstairs of the alchemy material store and used light and shadow to backtrack to watch the process. The other party was invisible the whole time and found nothing.

After listening to Montalin's report, the Duke of Redstone told him to retreat and stood silent in the control room of the floating city.

He recalled the wizards on the airship.

Everyone was wearing a black robe and a skull mask. The whole body was tightly wrapped, not even an inch of skin was exposed. There was also a lot of fabric stuffed under the robe to change their body shape, obviously to guard against their own will of truth.

Such a huge and well-planned plan should not have been improvised, but had been prepared for a long time.

There are not many enemies of his own. The biggest enemy at present is Ren Augustus. He has motivation and certain strength to do it, but the two have only been feuding for more than half a month, so his suspicion is very small, almost not too much. Probably he did.

The probability of cheating believers is also low.

Those dark wizards wore skull masks on their faces, and their behavior was in line with the crazy teachings of "fraudsters".

If it is someone else, it is likely to be believed.

But the Duke of Redstone firmly did not believe it, denying that the deceiver believers were behind the scenes.

"It's not Ren Augustus, nor is it a believer of the evil god, who would it be?" The Duke of Redstone pondered for a long time without any result.

The only clue left was the black metal box~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the pure and violent energy he had never seen before.

The Duke of Redstone has never forgotten since he was a child. The will to truth has made his memory stronger. After hundreds of years, he has accumulated a huge amount of knowledge in his mind, like a treasure trove of knowledge.

However, after thinking hard for a long time, he could not remember the relevant content.

The dark wizard covered it up so well that he didn't even reveal a single rune, and he shouldn't have been exposed to the relevant knowledge, so he couldn't draw a conclusion.

The Duke of Redstone shook his head and temporarily gave up the investigation.

The most important thing now is to restore the wounds of his own soul, repair the control circle of the core of Eola, restore the energy output, and make the floating city fly again.

At the same time, be on alert for more attacks that may target Pallas in the future.

The pursuit of the enemy can only be put aside.
