The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 196 What Happened in the Mage Tower

The Mage Tower is located high up, in a cold and chilly place...

In the divided and repeatedly divided North, many things have been affected.

Just like, although they clearly own a land area that is similar to or even larger than that of Zhongzhou, due to the power gap, it is impossible for them to have a space gate that can be used over a long distance.

Although, in Zhongzhou, those space gates require multiple wizards to cast spells and are basically out of reach for ordinary people, but no matter what, being able to possess such things and having the ability to maintain their existence is a symbol of power.

In fact, not only the space gate, but also various other technologies collapsed one after another.

This is the North, a land of sorrow and despair.

Against this background, the small kingdom of Wommza was able to produce light explosion particles with amazing destructive power and own a permanent floating island. This is indeed an amazing technology.

Indeed, it is worthy of the same reputation as the Sages Association of Zhongzhou and the Astrology Society of the Horse People.

And such a magical holy land, the Mage Tower, is located on the floating island.

Located above the royal capital.

The relationship between the Royal Capital and the Mage Tower has always been in a relatively stable state.

In theory, if the levels are equal, the stronger one can beat the weaker one, which is basically like an adult beating a child.

In addition, the level of ordinary enemies may not be as high as that of the mage apprentices and several great mages in the mage tower.

Therefore, with the royal capital guarded by the Mage Tower, it can basically be said that they can rest easy.

Because, even if the ground collapses, as long as the Mage Tower is there, all the adversity and decline can be repaired.

However, accidents always happen.

Because, for the first time, the mages discovered that the Mage Tower is not necessarily a staunch ally of the King, and is not necessarily a friendly force standing on the same side.

At this time, the food is spoiled.

First of all, in recent years, the relationship between the Lord of the Mage Tower, Archmage Winston, and King Robert has deteriorated rapidly.

But this is only natural.

After all, if an eight-year-old child could recite multiplication tables, you would think it was clever; but if he was still reciting them at the age of twenty-eight, it would be a shame.

Fifteen years ago, when Robert the Younger had just ascended the throne, his decrees could be passed throughout the capital;

Fifteen years later, Robert the Younger's decrees still only apply to one royal capital - even the information in and out of the royal capital often first flies to the Mage Tower. Isn't this too bullying?

On that day, when Bingnai was still working for the Mage Tower, the communication she sent back first flew to the pool in the center of the Mage Tower, and flew to the mages in the form of bubbles, rather than to the king's ears.

If Robert Jr. had known about the abnormalities of the lizardman corpses earlier, would the subsequent situation have happened?

Who could tolerate this? Therefore, while the young king was stepping up efforts to take back power, he was also humiliating the Mage Tower at every turn.

Several years ago, [wanting to see a demonstration of the power of the Three Disasters] was actually a warning and warning from the little king to old Winston.

In this already distrustful relationship, at this time, what General Paddy handed over, "I used the spells of the accompanying mage corps to bombard my own army. If you don't help me, I will report this news to the king," became a way out.

Someone wants to rebel? And I should follow suit?

Isn't this just right? Then let's fight back!

Therefore, he took advantage of Robert Jr.'s last bit of trust in old Winston, who was a relative, a king supporter, a follower of the dragon, but also a powerful official and a treacherous minister.

Old Winston easily took down the king who was not a supernatural being and arranged for his apprentice to be the fake king.

Then, problems gradually emerged.

It is difficult for ordinary people without education and training to resist temptation.

When beautiful women, luxury cars and royal power are placed before you, praying to the gods will no longer be enough.

People often say that it is better to return lost property to its owner, and there are indeed many people who can do this, even in the dark when there is no one around or any surveillance equipment.

But what about when it weighs ten kilograms?

In the same situation, when your wallet is replaced with ten kilograms of gold, can you still keep the ten kilograms of gold?

Besides, royal power, luxury cars and beautiful women represent far more than the temptation of ten kilograms of gold.

Therefore, the result was that these things easily caused the "King" and the Mage Tower to separate.

The Royal Capital and the Mage Tower entered into a situation where they were pulling and resisting each other.

Although he was just an apprentice, he was able to use his status as a king to issue errands to his teacher and his senior brothers and sisters.

Let these high-ranking wizards take a look at the situation in the cemetery? Deal with some undead creatures?

Isn't it a bit too much to make a fuss about a mere undead creature? Besides, which wizard would be happy to have his robe stained with blood and corpse stench?

And it was at this time that the royal capital was attacked by rioters.

The rioters, using explosives, took down the first layer of the city wall and had begun attacking the second layer of the city wall.

Among this group of people, old Winston also saw an old acquaintance of his, Ms. Hibiki, who had already guessed that he had killed the king.

So, he took the initiative to go down and fight.

On the one hand, he wanted to warn his student, the fake king, who was hiding in the palace.

Let him see that the power of the palace warriors under his control is completely useless in front of this great wizard.

On the other hand, it is also to prevent Bing Nagi from revealing important information.

Only because she, who was also a great wizard, was entangled with him, she did not have the extra strength to shout and spread the important news that the king was dead and the one sitting on the throne was a fake.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement. On the contrary, it can be said to be an extremely correct arrangement.

After all, if they only deployed some ordinary combat forces, they might not be able to hold out when the palace warriors suddenly changed sides and prioritized attacking the mages.

Without an equal fighting force to restrain Bing Nagi, she would probably expose the evil deeds of the Mage Tower on the spot.

However, the result is often that things do not develop in accordance with people's wishes.

The fighting power and wisdom of those rioters far exceeded what old Winston had expected. They not only put up a beautiful exchange ratio with the soldiers defending the city and the palace warriors, but also had a great fight with them.

He even tricked the city gate on the other side into opening, catching them off guard.

Old Winston was captured, and the wizard apprentice who wanted to fight against their control and take the opportunity to become the real king did not get his wish.

The entire royal capital was controlled by the rioters in a very short time.

After losing its strongest combat force, the situation of the Mage Tower became awkward.

Hitting high and hitting low can indeed be like hitting a fool.

However, this can only be considered when the levels are comparable.

If the guys below came up alone, riding on griffins, they might still be able to fight back and defeat the other side.

But the same situation occurred when they tried to take back the royal capital.

As long as you dare to get close and land, the arrows, city defense weapons, and those extraordinary people will not be vegetarians.

So, for now, it is impossible for Abes and his team to fly up and take down the Mage Tower.

The Mage Tower lacks high-end combat power, so it can only bully the guards and the little king who didn't react on that day. Can it have a proper fight with Abes and others who are now controlling the ground?

dream.

As a result, the relationship between the Royal Capital and the Mage Tower came to a standstill.

Abes was very envious of the griffin breeding area in the Mage Tower, and he also wanted to win over this large number of mage apprentices - even small nobles could be arranged as intellectuals to carry out construction work in Mud City and the newly established Sweet Leaf City, let alone mage apprentices?

Kronos, Hiiragi, and Sister Agatha complained all day long about the lack of help. The situation remained the same even though most of the calculations were handed over to the warriors who had learned mathematics to do the calculations and verifications.

In this case, if all the mage apprentices in the mage tower could be brought under control, the magic arm armor would have been upgraded and improved several times long ago, instead of wasting so much time, with only the rune set for the Fire Arrow spell being parsed out.

By the same token, not every mage apprentice in the Mage Tower is a die-hard and 100% loyal to old Winston.

Some of them will be more inclined to the king, and there will even be many who do not care about riots.

After the news that Abes was the Abes Grande was released, many people were willing to side with Abes.

After all, the arcane knight, Abeth Grande, is the common ancestor of all warriors and mages.

After old Winston was defeated and captured, the scattered thoughts that had been suppressed by the Mage Tower suddenly burst out.

Before, everyone was willing to listen to you because you were strong, ruthless, and your plan sounded completely flawless - as long as you defended the capital and waited for General Paddy to take over, everything would be on track, and everyone would become a great contributor to the enthronement of the new king like old Winston.

But now?

You have been defeated and captured, so you should consider yourself first.

One Bing Nagi can fight you on equal terms, and there are so many rioters with explosives, who will listen to you?

Or just vote...

However, these two parties who have the potential to establish a connection lack a transit station willing to express their feelings for each other.

Old Winston, the captured old Winston, refused to contact the Mage Tower for them.

And the message sent by Bingnai seemed unable to appear in the pool in the center of the Mage Tower as before.

"She wanted to use the communication spell, but unfortunately, before leaving the Mage Tower during the battle that day, I had just modified the Mage Tower's contact permissions. Now, the communication spells of others cannot be transmitted unless I agree..."

"Not only can the communication spell not reach you, but I have also anchored the floating island, and the defense mode is also at full firepower. Move closer, or you'll be hit by the spell torrent."

Inside the cell, old Winston blocked any possibility of contact between the two parties with his hard and smelly attitude.

However, if we block the communication technology, can we also block people’s eyes?

On the Mage Tower, every day, many mages and mage apprentices stand on the edge of the floating island and look down.

Their psychology is becoming more and more turbulent day by day.

It used to be said that when you look down at the world from a high place, it is easy to feel compassion.

Because standing on a high place, people can see a wider view.

This visual impact may make people feel a psychological distance from the world below, thus generating a detached and compassionate emotion.

However, compassion, after all, is just an emotional expression of sympathy and care.

Looking down from a high place, people may imagine the difficulties people on the ground face in their lives. This imagination evokes sympathy and thus compassion.

However the result is...

Life on the ground is definitely not difficult, and it is definitely impossible to imagine it as a situation that arouses sympathy.

Because what they can see is construction, construction that is carried out with great fanfare and with great momentum.

It was completely different from what one imagines, that the rioters burned, killed and looted; it was completely different from what one imagines, that the rioters had no knowledge, morals or culture, and that they wantonly destroyed the lives of people on the ground or messed up the power and political situation.

What they saw were buildings popping up like mushrooms after a rain.

Some of these buildings should be residential houses, while others look like functional buildings, because you can see a large amount of raw materials being input and a large amount of products being output.

What surprised them even more was the situation inside and outside the East City Gate.

Originally, the capital had accumulated a large number of refugees due to the policy of only allowing people to enter but not leave, and the current unrest in the small kingdoms.

It would be absolutely not easy for any person in power, even a wise king, to deal with this mess.

But things are getting better.

A brand new urban area gradually emerged, just like the experience of revealing the sharp edges of the mountains that can only be seen in summer after the winter snow has melted, which is particularly shocking.

There are still some diehards in the Mage Tower who are willing to believe in old Winston. What they say now sounds particularly funny.

"We are high above. In some philosophical and religious traditions, viewing the world from above is seen as an experience close to the perspective of the divine or supreme outer plane. From such a perspective, we should be gods, and how could gods submit to ordinary people?"

God...

If we are really like gods, then why don’t we see the impermanence of the world, the insignificance of human beings and the fragility of life?

What if what you see is only a power that you yourself cannot even imagine?

We have deeper insights and better souls, so we will have compassion for the people below?

fart!

From up high, all they could feel was a sense of pressure, curiosity, and fear.

A kind of pressure of being left behind by the roots and not playing with them.

A curiosity about new things and new situations.

There is also a fear of the unknown.

Compassion? Damn compassion.
