Surprised, Truss' reaction was still very fast. He took a step back and suddenly shouted a spell.// Fastest update//
However, the pain that suddenly exploded in his mind made him scream out! A terrible headache stirred up his nerves. The therapist fell to the ground, holding his head and rolling around, digging his fingers deeply into his hair, almost
The entire scalp was ripped off!
"You should know that simple cloning techniques can easily be manipulated by others. For example, a small curse can prevent your body from gathering enough mental power for a long time."
When the terrifying roar faded, the middle-aged man put down the crystal cup in his hand, and his soft and slow voice was mixed with the healer's breathing: "Your specialization is in the plasticity department, but that doesn't mean that you
We should go all the way in this direction. After all, for mages, the power of a faction is too simple. Especially the cloning technique.
This kind of life-saving spell should be better prepared to open up a demiplane... Well, you obviously didn't do that because you didn't want it to be troublesome, but at least it should be in an unknown secret cave instead of
It's too easy to find in your own mage tower. And the stasis cloning technique is obviously much better than such a simple thing.
After a pause, he suddenly laughed and shook his head: "Ah, it's an old habit. You don't seem to need me to remind you of this now."
"You...you..." Tesla breathed heavily, raised his head from the ground, and stared at the uninvited guest with his dull eyes: "How on earth did you get in...Besides me here..."
"Except for you, no one can come in?" The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's really disappointing. I thought you should have made some progress in the past thirty years, but it seems that it is really easy.
It’s disappointing. At this time, does the direction of your thinking also need to be changed?”
Direction of thinking? What does it mean?
"You...could it be that you are..."
A sudden thought shocked Tesla! His lips trembled, and he seemed to have spent a lot of effort to spit out the name: "Thomason...Alva...Mentor?" But the name had just come out.
.But he denied it: "Impossible, a lie, Teacher Alva has already..."
"Already missing? Dead? How ridiculous, Tesla, I thought you had already passed the time of believing such boring rumors?" The middle-aged man smiled, and he squinted his eyes and stared at Tesla's old age.
face, and the latter just looked at it and couldn't help but tremble subconsciously.
At this moment, the shock lingering in Tesla's mind was even greater than when the kid crushed his activated lightning with one hand in front of his eyes. The old mage tried hard to look at the person in front of him, but he couldn't find the graceful person in front of him.
The middle-aged man is connected with his former mentor, one of the three imperial masters in his memory.
Even compared with the voice master when he was young, he was completely different - he was supposed to be a thin old man with bulging cheekbones and an unattractive appearance, but he was definitely not as elegant as a noble as he is now...
middle-aged people.
"Is appearance important to a mage?"
"...Yes." The words that pointed directly at his thoughts shocked Tesla, and he subconsciously responded with honorifics - it was as if he was just an apprentice back in time, and facing this famous man for the first time.
When I was a mage for a long time.
There are many ways for mages to change their appearance. For example, illusion and transformation, but obviously the person in front of him is not using any of them... At least, in the secret gathering he participated in, every member must be tested.
Its true identity, and the last time this Enwei appeared, he did not use the shielding magic between members.
Or, is it just another person who is the same?
Slowly turning his thoughts, Tesla slowly got up from the ground, and with difficulty pulled a robe on the shelf next to him to cover himself.
Who is he? Is he really the voice master? His mentor? The previous tower master of the Tower of Heaven? Or is he just some legacy of the Alva master?
People who try to deceive themselves with poor acting skills on a whim?
This conclusion is so absurd that even well-informed psychologists find it difficult to accept it; but when thinking rationally, it is so consistent with the concept that it is impossible to find a reason to refute it:
The Tower of Heaven is filled with countless traps and protections, and the room on this floor is a secret room that I painstakingly re-dug. Dozens of interconnected magic defense traps and shields have been added to the layers.
If there is anyone else in this world who can walk in casually without encountering any resistance or triggering any traps, then the only people who can do it are those who were in the Tower of Heavenly Ting.
Master, phonographist Alva Edinson——
Only this person, this tower has no secrets in front of him. There has never been any secrets before, and maybe there will never be any secrets in the future...
"But Enwei... No, Mr. Tutor, in your previous meeting, didn't you say that you were a member of Tuminis Magic Academy? Ah..."
His mind was spinning rapidly. Tesla slowly and quietly took a few steps back. At this moment, he had already thought of something: "Could it be that, Mr. Tutor, this is where you have been missing for the past thirty years?"
In the mage tower of Tuminis? This is too...a waste, right?"
"It's only thirty years, and it can't be considered a waste of time. You know, gathering the strength of six people to do something is indeed much better than one person doing it alone. Even if there are many constraints, they can still do it.
There are some results, and many loopholes in our magic system can be found there to find suitable supplements, and that's how I can find a way to achieve my goals."
Thomas responded casually, not paying attention to what the former apprentice was thinking, and just started to continue the previous topic.
"It was a frustrating failure, Tesla. But is failure so hard to accept? Or, are you regretting it, right? You think your failure is just because you underestimated him, but in fact, you are not.
Is it already clear, the power he possesses?"
"But, that kid...even if he has a fragment of a divine weapon, can he have such power?"
Mentioning the battle just now, Tesla couldn't help but grit his teeth, and even forgot to continue to explore whether the identity of the person in front of him was true: "If so. How valuable is that thing called King Power? Is it true?
Like the legend, can it destroy the entire multiverse?"
"If it was just his power, it would indeed be impossible to be that strong. However, if I help him behind the scenes, the natural result will be different..." Thomas replied. But Tesla was surprised again: "
Could it be that...that brat is also your chess piece? But isn’t he Albert’s apprentice?”
"No, that kid is just a lucky guy. Albert took him as his apprentice because of his luck. There is indeed some relationship between him and me, but there is no cooperation yet.
Thomas shook his head slightly: "However, he doesn't know that what he is doing is helpful to my plan. So I won't mind giving him a small reward when necessary."
"Could it be that you don't want to be with the people in the meeting, but you want to master that... thing in the King's Staff?" Tesla took a breath in surprise: "But isn't that too dangerous?
Yes, that is something that all the gods will be wary of, if..."
"As long as you keep revising the plan, it's enough." Thomas raised his hand to interrupt him and waved it casually. A piece of crystal three feet long and two feet high slowly rose from the ground, and its bluish surface appeared in the next moment.
, the changing lights and shadows rise, but they are creaky.
The strange noise made the middle-aged man frown, and he had to turn off all the sounds with a snap of his fingers: "Well, so far, everything is going smoothly. That kid has relieved a lot of my burden, even better than I planned.
It’s even better. Oh, has the war ceased?”
Attracted by his words, Tesla's eyes turned to the picture on the crystal, and then he couldn't help but grind his teeth viciously - due to the special interference in the recent period, the scenery in the crystal caused by the prophecy spell was somewhat blurry. But it was still possible.
I could clearly see that abominable kid whose soul should be swallowed by the devil, standing on the floating platform, facing a group of Fei Yan and the Ice Wind Bear Knight who looked like they were facing formidable enemies.
To make matters worse, Tesla had to admit that the slightly fluttering black robe matched the silver platform surprisingly well.
"What on earth is this damn guy doing? Does he want to betray the empire?" His eyes turned and fell on the leader of the Scarlet Knights who seemed to be talking about something.
"No, it's probably just a tacit agreement. I think both sides withdraw their troops at the same time."
Thomas nodded slightly. He seemed to appreciate the knight's decision: "Although he is not a real spell caster, this guy is smart, smart enough, and knows how to size up the situation. At this time, from his standpoint,
, there is nothing more correct than starting negotiations immediately, the power of that brat
, it is too easy to destroy these guys who rely on that kind of false ability to arm themselves. Unfortunately, this little guy is still too young and too inexperienced after all. He does not know the bottom line of Edward... So, in the end,
The most natural result is for each of us to take a step back, well, it’s pretty much what we imagined.”
"But what does that little bastard want?"
"Haha, I have a little difficulty grasping this point." Thomas shook his head, but was not prepared to answer: "Tesla, your body has aged too much. Didn't you prepare dragon blood moss?"
Potion... Oh, by the way, the Dragon Cemetery is not an easy place for you to reach. But although it is a bit difficult to prepare the potion and shape the phylactery, it is not very difficult, right?"
"What, this..." For a moment, unable to keep up with the other person's jumping thoughts, Tesla shook his head: "You mean the phylactery? But if you transform into a lich, then I..."
"If you want to adapt to a new identity, you must discard the old ones earlier. Now that the conditions are ripe, why don't you practice it? Are you afraid of the price you have to pay? Can't give up those meaningless enjoyments? Yes.
, The feeling of passion is indeed fascinating, but the meaning of the existence of a mage is to explore all the secrets in this world. So, losing some trivial things in exchange for enough time is not the most inevitable result.
What?
"I...yes, Sir Tutor."
"Sigh... You who reject this point are really not suitable for becoming a mage. My original decision seems not to be correct, but it doesn't matter. As a mage, it is completely normal to accept the consequences of failure.
"
Although he kept preaching, Thomas didn't seem to have much interest in what he was talking about. He just focused on the crystal plate rising in the air - the scene on it had been changed to another one amid the swaying.
The blue night is gradually encroaching on the last purple light of the setting sun, and under this halo is a silent earth... Countless entangled limbs and broken steel combine to form a continuous pattern on the earth.
On the flat surface, the blood red turned into a sticky, dark trace in the gradually darkening light and shadow...
"What a pity. These two Dukes still didn't last long..."
"Your Excellency, Mentor, is it possible that this time, Tuminis's attack on the empire was led by you?" Tesla was silent for a moment and then suddenly said.
"Yes, I need a lot of souls to replenish energy."
"Soul-eating magic circle?"
The old mage's face had completely lost all color. It was as pale as a piece of pig iron.
Although he is irritable, he is not an idiot. Naturally, he can quickly figure out that the content of the conversation between the two people is part of some layout laid out by the powerful mage in front of him throughout his life - but at this moment,
There is absolutely no need for the other party to tell him. Knowing other people’s secrets that he shouldn’t know often means a lot of trouble.
The simple result is to either become the other party's companion. Or... But if he wanted to get his help, he could have dragged himself into his plan decades ago, even if he wanted to do it now.
, then you should ask the question as soon as possible, instead of telling such a lot of terrible secrets first.
And if the other party really wants his allegiance, it should be enough to change the secret mark left on the clone.
Cold sweat soaked in the forehead of the surgeon. He backed away carefully and slowly moved closer to the mirror... There was a secret door hidden in the room. Although it was not an exit, it should at least buy time - the exit now
You don't need to think about it to know that it has been blocked. But as long as you can regain some strength, at least everything will not be lost. As for what happens next, you can think about it slowly.
Thomas didn't seem to be aware of his calculations. He just stared at the scene of the battlefield on the crystal in front of him, tapping his fingers lightly on the small table in a slow and uncertain rhythm, as if he was intoxicated by it.
However, when the small door was close at hand, and Tesla slowly tensed up his muscles and prepared to jump in, all his movements were interrupted in an instant by his voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "
It’s better to have such an inferior demiplane than not have it at all, and you’ll soon be able to see more interesting demiplanes.”
What?
Tesla's body almost stiffened! He slowly turned his eyes, and when his eyes came into contact with a fist-sized ruby playing in the opponent's hand, he couldn't help but exclaimed in a shrill voice! "No! Mentor, I can do it.
Help you! I can get you whatever you need...and I can do everything right away..."
As a physicist, he certainly knows what that means.
The Soul Imprisonment Technique... an extremely sinister necromantic spell that will permanently imprison a person's soul in a gem. As long as the gem is not broken, even death is impossible and they can only be imprisoned there forever.
In an empty and small space! Although this spell requires contact with the target, for me now, is there any point in escaping?
"Is it necessary? Do you think I need a stupid apprentice who is irritable, succeeds in failure, and loses a lot of my things?"
The sneer was like a needle pricking into the surgeon's ear. It froze all the blood in Tesla's body and pushed him into the abyss.
"You... Thomas, Thomas Alva Addison! You can't do this! You can't..." The chief conjurer roared, but the man had already smiled and threw the stone into the magician's head.
In his arms: "No--!" In the long scream, a green light burst out from the body of the master, and the blurred shadow was absorbed by the gem in an instant, and the clone that had just been activated,
Then it once again turned into countless colorful lights with a bang, and disappeared in a flash.
