Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 223: The oriole is behind

Views:

Lorenzo put his hand on the back of Priest Sophia's neck, and with a flash of light, the opponent's spine was broken. Priest Sophia groaned in coma. However, even if she woke up, it would be useless. At this moment, she has become a high-level paraplegic.

Lorenzo found a space bag in her clothes. He opened it and searched for a while before taking out the "Record of Ten Thousand Formations". Lorenzo gently stroked the cover and smiled with satisfaction. In order to get this book, he spent five years with these charlatans, and now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

He turned the book to the second cover, and a spell of about a hundred words appeared before him.

The spell was composed of single words. If someone else read it, they would only feel that they knew every word, but they had no idea what it meant. Lorenzo was excited at this moment. He took out another space bag from his arms and took out a small white book from it. The small book was only the size of two palms and one finger thick. Although it was very different in size from the "Ten Thousand Formations Record", the two books looked very harmonious when put together. The name on the small book was "Hundred Words Diagram".

Lorenzo opened the cover of the small book. There was also a spell on the second cover. He compared the two spells, and the excitement in his eyes gradually faded. He murmured, "I thought that with two holy books, I could deduce some clues about the Tower of Talismans, but I didn't expect that I would need a third book. However, with the inheritance of these formations, there are not many places that can stop me."

He flipped the pages of "Record of Ten Thousand Formations" and exquisite magic arrays began to appear on the pages. These magic arrays were not drawn on the pages, but were constantly circulating and running on the book, just like they were in operation. As long as you touched these magic arrays, the book would simulate the results of the magic array taking effect.

Lorenzo flipped to the last page and was about to close the book when he noticed the teleportation array in front of him was glowing. He put both books into his space bag, stuffed Sophia's space bag into his arms, and waited for the teleportation to end.

Letona stumbled out of the teleportation array and looked up to find that the surroundings were also in a tragic state. Except for Lorenzo who was looking at him seriously, everyone else was lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

"It seems that your operation is not going smoothly." Lorenzo said.

"What is going on here?" Letona slowly stood up and looked at the corpse lying next to him. The latter was charred all over and burned into charcoal.

"This is Priest Russell. The magic circle has been attacked." Lorenzo said with a sad expression, "Where are the others on your side?"

"The others are all dead." Letona said with red eyes, "Their guns are too powerful, and they also have very powerful warriors and magicians. We... We underestimated them."

"Yeah, very good." Lorenzo nodded.

"What did you say?" Letona looked at Lorenzo in shock.

"Bind!" As Lorenzo opened his mouth, several rune chains appeared out of thin air and tied Letona up on the spot, making him unable to move.

"Seal!" After a moment, Lorenzo released another mantra, sealing the opponent's ability to cast magic.

"You, you are a traitor!" Letona screamed, "Are you a lackey of the God of Nature?"

"Your imagination is really poor. Everyone is guessing this way. Oh, of course not. You are a 'priest' who only knows necromancy, and your knowledge is still at the level of a wild mage. You are not as good as a centurion in the Temple of War." Lorenzo walked over and took out a space bag from Letona. He looked inside and sneered, "Is this what you took so much trouble to rob? Those magicians don't know whether to cry or laugh. Humph, half of it is useless."

But he still put the space bag in his pocket.

"It was you. It was your inaccurate intelligence that caused Priest Sophia to misjudge..."

Before Letona could finish his words, Lorenzo sent a starlight into his heart, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

Lorenzo turned around and walked back to Priest Sofia, squatted down and said, "I know you have woken up just now. Master Sofia."

Priest Sophia slowly opened her eyes and said, "Since you have also inherited the will of the Seven Towers, don't you know the covenant between the Seven Towers?"

"Covenant?"

"People belonging to the seven towers must not harm each other." Priest Sophia said in a deep voice.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? What's more, what kind of heir of the Seven Towers are you? You are just a temple priest who occasionally collected a holy book. Don't you know the attitude of the Seven Towers towards the gods?"

"You have the Hundred Character Diagram, and I have the Record of Ten Thousand Formations. I am only relying on their power in the temple. There is no difference between us." Sophia said.

"Okay, we each have a copy of the Holy Scripture of the Tower of Runes, but I am the heir of the Tower of Runes, just because I am standing." Lorenzo stood up, "Okay. Dear Lady Sophia, it's time to send you back to the embrace of the God of Wisdom."

"Wait a minute. Don't you want to know the whereabouts of the Thousand Spells?" Sophia said.

Lorenzo smiled and said, "I do, but I don't want to know from you. You probably don't know. Even if you do know, you won't tell me. Why should I waste my time on you? I will never give my opponent a chance to make a surprise comeback."

Without waiting for Sophia to say anything, he cast two mantras in succession:

"collapse!"

"Destroy!"

The former destroys the body, the latter annihilates the soul.

Lorenzo looked at the tall buildings of the school in the distance, took out the paper and pen he had taken from the school from his space bag, drew a map to the Temple of Wisdom on the paper, then folded it and put it in Letona's pocket, then rode a horse and rode away into the distance.

——————————

When the paper was picked up again, it was two days later. The logging team found the camp and the bodies on the ground. Then the school investigation team arrived.

Ji Yijun insisted on participating in the investigation on behalf of the camp management office, but in fact he wanted to take a good look at his own record. He was the one who threw the last oil barrel that day.

At that time, he threw the oil barrel with the rune drawn with Cretan blood and the alchemical explosives over the magic circle, and then fled from the room as quickly as possible.

After a loud bang in the room, he pushed open the door of the dormitory with a fire extinguisher, only to find that the room was not as messy as he had imagined. Apart from the tables and chairs overturned by the air wave, the bodies of the ice bats blown to the wall, and many glass windows shattered, there were no signs of explosion or burning.

However, the magic circle that was constantly rotating on the ceiling has disappeared.

According to Morey, the explosion must have directly destroyed the magic circle there, and the fire wave did not have time to rush over.

At that time, Ji Yijun wanted to see what the final fate of those guys who were blown away was. Today, he finally fulfilled his wish by coming to the scene. However, when he saw these charred bodies and the black ground, he suddenly lost his previous expectations.

Having participated in many battles, he gradually realized that no matter how just the reasons for the war are, the consequences of the war will always be ugly.

"Old Tang, what are you looking at?" The previous battle together made Ji Yijun accept Tang Feng as a person. At least in his eyes, Tang Feng was the one he liked most in the intelligence team.

Tang Feng, wearing white gloves, picked up a piece of paper from Letona's body. After reading it carefully, he said, "It seems that this is a message specially left for us."

"Map? Why was it left for us?"

"Look, this is an A4 printed paper with a hand-drawn map of the base of these people on it." It must have been drawn by someone who had visited our school and deliberately drawn it for us to see.

"Hmph, no need to think, it must be left by Lorenzo." Rhodes said, "The others should be priests and warriors of the Temple of Wisdom. Only Lorenzo hid his identity. He is the heir of the Tower of Talisman."

Everyone at the scene knew what the Wisdom Temple was. Now the hatred of the school people towards the Wisdom Temple had surpassed that of the horse thieves and goblins. Many young people were clamoring to rush to the Wisdom Temple to avenge the dead. But the Tower of Talisman, Ji Yijun and Tang Feng were not clear.

"The Tower of Talismans is one of the seven holy towers. It actually has a great connection with the temple of the ancient gods. However, these holy towers disappeared as early as the end of the Heroic War. The Tower of Talismans has three major inheritances: the Word of Truth, the Spirit Spell, and the Complex Magic Array." Rhodes explained, "But I'm not a wizard, so I don't know the specific details of these things."

"Didn't you fight with Lorenzo? He didn't use these things?" Ji Yijun asked.

"He used the Word of Truth. It is extremely simple, but also extremely powerful. It is very difficult to resist."

"No matter what his origins are, did he leave this map to cause another fight between us and the Temple of Wisdom?" Tang Feng asked doubtfully, "What good will this do him? Or is this a gesture of goodwill?"

"To show goodwill?" Ji Yijun said disdainfully, "He turned our camp upside down and killed so many people. What's the point of showing goodwill now?"

Tang Feng shook his head and asked Rhodes: "Has he ever killed anyone in your camp?"

"No, we checked. The locations of the fireballs he placed were very clever. They didn't hurt anyone directly, but the burning was scary. At most, he injured the people you sent to catch him, as well as me and Katarina, but he didn't kill anyone," said Rhodes.

"So, he showed mercy?" Tang Feng walked around the venue. "After all, he is not a real member of the Temple of Wisdom. From his point of view, the Temple of Wisdom wanted to deal with us, and he intervened, which actually helped us in disguise. In the end, a battle took place here, and the Letona who escaped from the Temple of Wisdom was also killed by him. Whether you admit it or not, he finally avenged Cai Long and the others."

"Old Chen and the others won't like this way of revenge," said Ji Yijun.
