Chapter 51 Tower of Stars
In the northern part of the Ana continent, there lies a towering mountain range called Snow Ridge. It is covered with snow all year round and is inaccessible. Although it nominally belongs to the Blue Dragon Empire, the governor of the empire has never come here to collect taxes.

It’s not because the environment is harsh and the products are insufficient. On the contrary, the Xueling environment is special, and many of the medicinal materials produced are treasures that are difficult to obtain from the outside world.
The real reason why the imperial governor ignored Snow Ridge was a force entrenched here - the Tower of Stars.
This is an alliance composed of multiple wizard schools. It can be said to be the leading spellcaster organization on the continent of Ana. It has established thirteen great wizard seats, and the chief is the title wizard: Great Sage!
She is a guest of the two empires, and a casual prophecy can shake the continent. Therefore, although the Star Tower is located within the Blue Dragon Empire, it is more like a neutral organization that maintains a detached attitude - at least nominally neutral.

In the center of the snow ridge, at the highest point of the mountain range, stands a tall tower. The tower is tall and straight, reaching into the sky, surrounded by four layers of ring-shaped ribbons of different colors.
It is said that these ring-shaped streamers are not only the source of energy for the tower, but also contain extremely powerful means of counterattack.
Other circular towers were built based on this one - a year ago, no one thought that the defense of the tower would be breached, as if their own status would never be shaken.
In the past, the wizards in the tower held their heads high as they walked around, as if they were mastering the truth in the world. But now, they all walk in a hurry, and even if they meet, they only dare to say a slogan.

"The stars herald the way forward for you and me."
Witch Linda said goodbye to a wizard, feeling a little sad. Ever since the Great Sage was severely injured and unable to leave the ring tower, the sphere of influence of their Star Tower has been repeatedly hit and forced to shrink, and the atmosphere in the tower has also changed.
Getting more and more nervous.
"Great Wizard of the Skyfall! Fairy Queen Elise!" She chewed on these two names in her heart, secretly hating them.
This time the great sage summoned me, I don’t know if there is any way to deal with the dilemma.
When she arrived at the conference hall, Linda found that many people had already arrived, all of whom were long-famous seat wizards. It seemed that there must be something big to announce.
Most wizards are not talkative, even in the prophecy school. Caution in words and deeds is the most basic behavioral standard for a prophecy wizard. In their eyes, casual disclosure of fate will lead to punishment from fate. Only the great sage can do so.
Ignore it.
After finding her own seat and sitting down, Linda nodded with a few familiar wizards, said hello, then took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table, closed her eyes, and looked mysterious.
The rest of the wizards were similar, there was no more communication, everyone was waiting.
"Dong, dong"
They didn't have to wait long. When everyone arrived, the Great Sage appeared.
She was holding a long-handled wand, wearing a robe as pale as lime, and wrapped in a thick black leather bandage, without exposing any skin. Her body was stooped, and she seemed to be leaning all her weight on the wand.
——Compared with the function of buffing magic, the wand is more like a crutch at this time.
Such a weak and weird image completely overturned the wizards' impression of the Great Sage! If it weren't for the magic marks that wizards can identify each other, they would not dare to confirm that this is the Great Sage.
The Great Sage had not appeared for a long time. They could guess that they must have been severely injured, but they never thought that it would be so serious!
"Teacher!" As the great sage's closest disciple, Linda hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Ah!"
As soon as she touched the Great Sage's wrist bandage, she felt an unimaginable tingling sensation, as if her soul had been bitten hard!
The great sage glanced at her, as if he was suppressing some desire, and then pushed her away with his wand.
Linda finally recovered and returned to her seat in panic, lowering her head and not daring to look at her again.
"Don't come close to me, for your safety."
The great sage said coldly, her voice was hoarse, like a snake.
As if she was a little surprised, she paused, sat on the front seat, and looked around.
There were originally seats for thirteen wizards, but now there are only ten chairs left.
The memory of the thirteen great wizards gathering together and having a eloquent discussion was obviously not far away, it was only a year ago, but now it seems like it was many years ago in retrospect.
A year ago, the Fairy Queen breached a circular tower, and the tower owner was killed. A year later, two more people died one after another.
One died from the backlash of divination. It is said that she wanted to divine the origin of the great wizard Tianyun, but her head exploded after a while. Even the back-up left to protect her soul before the divination was useless, and her soul also perished.
Before his death, he left only a twisted pattern shaped like the sun, but all the wizards who saw it wailed and lost their eyesight, as if their eyes were burned by the sun!
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no more great wizards fell into the trap. The tortoise shell recording the pattern was deeply hidden in a separate secret vault.
The other one died outside without even finding out who had done it, and the result of the divination was a mess.
Three great wizards died in a row within a year, which is also an important reason why the atmosphere in the Star Tower is so tense.
"A year ago, I was careless and fell into Tianyun's trap. It was not until recently that I escaped from the trap, but it also left some sequelae..."
The great sage slowly explained the situation. It seemed to her that it was just a trivial matter. The great wizard Tianyun used despicable means to plot against her, trapping her in place and unable to move. It was not until recently that she studied ancient books and cracked the mystery.
A magic.
"This is an intolerable provocation! Everyone, counterattack is imperative. Although his magic power is amazing, there is no way to compare with that thing! The plan must be accelerated! Whether it is for counterattack or our original purpose
."
When 'that thing' was mentioned, the atmosphere of the meeting became lively. They reported each other's progress and seemed confident in the plan.
"There has been no news about the Fairy Queen recently. Unfortunately, I have just developed a medicinal powder that has a strong ability to confuse little fairies, enough to bypass their magic resistance and cause effects."
A wizard regretted that he was already very interested in goblins. He was the first to notice the goblin queen's movements. At first, he thought of inviting her to his tower for experiments, but then he saw the strength of the legion.
I dare not mention it again.
But he never gave up on this idea, and secretly went to the places where the goblin army appeared to collect traces to analyze the goblin data.
This is also a difficult process. The dragon-veined goblins will devour the corpses of their fallen companions, leaving very few traces.
It's not that I want to target it, but I want to modify it myself. However, due to the lack of materials, the progress is not smooth - but the research is not fruitless, at least I have found a method to target the magic resistance of the fairies.
After hearing this, the great sage felt moved and told him to prepare for the experiment after the meeting. She wanted to see the effect with her own eyes.
