The mage arrives

Although the lives of his subordinates are just consumables that can be used at will to Zantaba, the loss is not a pity.But the defensive pressure brought about by the shortage of manpower is a bit tricky.He therefore had to reduce the number of outlying patrols.Although doing so ensures the defense of the Black Spider Fortress, if an enemy sneaks under the nose due to the weakened detection ability...

Zantaba could not help but shudder.

He can't afford to lose now.In the castle of the Sun Elf, the bone arm was broken by Rob Antello with a sword, and Zantaba lost his greatest strength. For the pale lord, the bone arm is the second life.Although he exhausted his efforts and savings, he finally rebuilt himself another bone arm, but compared with the previous one, it was completely different.

Also, Ke Yan and Chip, brothers from the Gribreth family, have not heard from each other since they entered the Danzig ruins in the Cold Mist Mountains.Even the organization arranged for them to participate in the scarlet hunting mission, but did not execute it.Because of this, some people in the organization accused Zantaba of lax control, which indirectly led to the great defeat in the Cold Mist Mountains.

These power struggles are small things.More importantly, without Ke Yan and Chip, Zantaba's support from the Gribreth family was also cut off.For a high-level mage who doesn't need money everywhere, this is absolutely bad news that couldn't be worse.

Whether it is its own strength or the forces it has mastered, Zantaba is not as good as before.Not only is it difficult to go further and gain the appreciation of the three adults, but he is even threatened by the challengers behind him at any time.

Therefore, it became very important to ensure the smooth operation of the Sin Orb magic circle this time, and finally cast that spell.

Zantaba, who was very worried, decided to go to the Crystal Tower to inspect it again.

The Crystal Tower is located just outside the walls just east of Black Spider Hold.Like a giant stalactite that is integrated with the surrounding environment, it grows from the top of the empty cave at a height of more than 40 meters to the ground, and then extends underground.If it weren't for some thick energy transmission lines on the wall of the tower, no one would have noticed that this was actually an artificial building.

Zantaba came to the foot of the Crystal Tower.It's a busy scene here.More than a dozen mages wearing mage robes of red on the left and black on the right are busy next to the magic circle, wanting to ensure the smooth operation of the crystal tower, and transfer the energy of the artifact at the bottom of the tower to the bead of sin in the atrium of the black spider fortress. In the formation.

However, the work of these exclusive mages of the Sansheng Baptist Church obviously did not go smoothly.

"Lord Zantaba." Seeing the chief commander of the operation.The honorable Fourth Stone Seat came, and the chief mage in charge of the Crystal Tower greeted him.Even though he was in an organization like the Three Holy Baptist Church, the chief mage had seen many horrible things, but Zantaba Tehurst's pale, cold, thin face was like a masked skeleton. .It's still chilling.So he was extremely respectful.

Zantaba was very satisfied with the humility of his subordinates.But he needs it.Not just humility and fear.He needs these mages to work efficiently.Help him complete his mission and strengthen his position in the organization.

"How's the situation?" Zantaba asked.

The chief mage with a long horse face said respectfully: "There has been some progress. Since the last time the blood-red mist leaked, we have maintained the stable operation of the Crystal Tower for [-] hours. After eight hours, all preparations for the Sin Orb Formation will be completed."

"It's not enough. We need to speed up!" Zantaba's face turned frosty.As a superior, what Zantaba needs to do is to constantly urge and oppress his subordinates to do things.As for the dissatisfaction and difficulties of his subordinates, it is not Zantaba's concern.

The chief mage didn't dare to show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction.His head bent down: "Of order, Lord Zantaba."

Zantaba asked again: "So, have those nasty arcane ooze monsters appeared?"

"Three more times, we lost six people, including two mages..."

The pale lord's inhuman face showed a frowning expression, which looked extraordinarily creepy.

Those annoying arcane oozes are a by-product of magical experiments conducted by former dark elf kings.They live in city sewers, dirty garbage dumps, and in damp, hidden burrows in the wild.

After the dark elves evacuated the underground kingdom.The arcane ooze monster, which has no natural enemies, began to multiply rapidly.They don't need to supplement the energy needed by their bodies through predation like ordinary creatures. They only need to stay quietly to absorb free source energy from nature to maintain their survival.So under normal circumstances, these arcane oozes are harmless.

But because the Sansheng Baptist Church activated the crystal tower that had been in disrepair for a long time in order to operate the Sin Orb Circle, as a result, several energy leakage accidents occurred during the operation of the giant tower.The blood-red mist not only made people crazy, but also made the arcane ooze extremely aggressive.

Since the Crystal Tower had to be defended, Zantaba could only send more troops to defend against the attack of a large number of arcane ooze monsters.This also caused the people available in his hands to become more and more stretched.

The Pale Lord glanced at the mages around who were holding crystal balls, chanting spells on the magic circle, and manipulating energy, and said, "I will not allow the loss of any mage. You must be vigilant. In addition, I will Sending you more help."

"You!" Zantaba pointed to a sentinel archer, "Come here."

The soldier at the bottom of Sansheng Baptist Church hurried over: "Master Pale Lord, what are your orders?"

"Go and call the Rosengard brothers and let them hold this place."

Anthony Rosengard and Morello Rosengard, the last two of the Twelve Stones of the Three Holy Baptists.They are all level eleven invisible blades.

This is the advanced class of the rogue, specializing in dual wielding, and greatly strengthens the strength of both offense and defense.If we only talk about personal strength, there is a big gap between the Rosengard brothers and the people who are at the top of the Twelve Stone Seats.But the brothers are almost inseparable and have always been enemies together.The two of them cooperate with each other, even if it is Zantaba, there is not much confidence that they can win.

There are three people from the Twelve Stone Seats sitting in the Black Spider Fortress, which shows how much the Sansheng Baptist Church attaches great importance to this operation.

As soon as he heard that he was going to deal with the Rosengard brothers, the archer's face immediately turned pale.He really didn't want to deal with those two vicious and perverted guys.However, the fate of disobeying Zantaba is even more miserable.So the unlucky bottom soldiers can only obey this order.

Seeing the archer leave quickly, Zantaba nodded, seeming to think that his decision was very wise.

"Bringing Brother Rosengard over here should ensure that there will be no more problems here at the Crystal Tower..."

The Pale Lord was about to leave to inspect the Bead of Sin Array, when the huge crystal tower in front of him suddenly glowed with a faint red light.

Then, the ground began to tremble.

"Oops!"

The previous accidents were nothing more than blood-red mist escaping from the tower.But this time, the entire tower was shaking, and a huge crack appeared on the wall of the tower with the sound of "click, click", and then expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.Even if the entire crystal tower collapses at this time, it is not surprising.

Controlling the magic circle mages, the crystal balls in their hands could not withstand the sudden increase in the impact of arcane energy, and they shattered one after another.

Seeing this scene, Zantaba was very anxious, and shouted: "Quickly, call the changers in the fortress, I want them to repair the crystal tower with stone shaping, otherwise everything will be over!"

…………

The sudden vibration of the entire crystal tower interrupted the conversation between Gordon and Reinas.

"I'll talk about some things later, come with me!" Renas waved at Gordon, pointing to a door in front of her.

Gordon saw that the folding fan was tightly sealed, and there were at least six metal doors protected by nine-ring magic seals. He smiled wryly, "I don't think we can open this door."

"Trust me, I can." Renas resolutely said.

"Okay..." Gordon saw that large swaths of dust had started to fall from the top of his head, and he knew that if he continued to delay, when the entire crystal tower began to collapse, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but he would also be finished.

The mage followed the female saint warrior, and saw that the other party tapped the spell seals on the metal gate one by one with his fingertips emitting red light, and all of them were released.

The red light that originally leaked from the crack in the door turned the entire hall red.Now that the door is opened, all the red light inside is transmitted through, which is even more dazzling, almost giving Gordon the illusion that he has come to a pure red world.

"This is the core area of ​​the entire Crystal Tower. With the support of Titus' divine power, there is no danger of collapse. We are safe." Reinas also let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Gordon was observing the only arrangement in this empty circular room - a sterling silver pedestal in the middle.There was a golden goblet on it.

The body of the slightly mottled cup is inlaid with six pieces of high-quality carnelian polished into a round shape, and the base of the cup is in the shape of three daggers intersecting.

The eyes of truth and warning were opened in Gordon.Through the amber pupils, he saw that the wine glass exuded an extremely rich blood red, which was the power of God, the power of blood that could burn the soul.

"You said just now that there is Titus' divine power here?" Gordon asked.

"Yes, don't you feel it?"

"I feel it... I feel it... How could I not feel it?" Gordon took a deep breath, silently expressing the resonance of the blood in his body and the wine glass.

Titus, the goddess of blood, vengeance, and battle, her representative symbol is a dagger dripping with blood.She is also the one who bestowed the power of Gordon Bloodmage. (to be continued..)
