At this time, Estee finally noticed the two people in the corner. In her vision, Lott and Boris were just two blurred shadows, but she remembered their voices.
She raised her eyebrows and said nothing. Burris noticed this, and deliberately said louder: "Master Movia, it seems that Black Cliff Fortress can't send a boat to pick us up. Will Sushi Island go to help them?"
Burris was sure Estee recognized his voice. She was touching the metal ring on her hand, which she had been using to control the messenger raven.
"We will go." An elf councilor said ahead of Movia, "A hundred years ago we assisted humans in repelling the Murlocs and restored Quintilia's peace. Of course, this time is no problem. "
Boris thought to himself, the version recorded in Black Cliff Fort is "Humans rescued the elves and helped the elves drive the murlocs back to the depths of the ocean"...but this is not important.
Movia also said: "Yes, we will immediately prepare the Clippers to go to Harbor City and Black Cliff Fort."
He comforted the "human mage", and then ended the communication. The curtain returned to blank, and the inside of the crystal ball returned to a chaotic mist. The four council members immediately got up and left with their guards, and went to arrange their own actions.
Movia called three apprentices and asked them to help him prepare spellcasting tools. He wants to board the ship himself and go to help Black Cliff Fort with the Coast Guard. None of his three apprentices went, they were too young to deal with real battles.
Before going out, Movia suddenly stopped and looked back at Lott: "My friend, would you like to go with me?"
Lot frowned, not knowing how to answer. He was very curious about attacking the mermaid, but he was afraid that Boris would be unhappy...
"Really, I need you," said Morvia. "I know how brave and powerful you are. Really, I need you."
Movia didn't know that the power of the Lord of Skeletons had deteriorated, and he could only cast spells with his mouth.
"My lord, go and help them," said Burris.
Movia hurriedly interjected: "Young mage, you can't follow. It's too dangerous over there, you have to stay in the tower."
Burris replied cooperatively: "Okay, I really can't help. I won't go."
Lott's expression was a bit disappointed, and he probably thought of something like "Facing the crisis together is a good opportunity to develop relationships." Burris looked at him and said, "My lord, you can go with them so that I can rest assured."
Movia thought he was referring to the ability of the Skeleton Lord, but Lott understood the deep meaning of Boris' words. He immediately stopped struggling and followed Movia out of the tower.
After the tower door was closed, the three apprentices also came to the first floor. One of them went to strengthen the protection on the tower door, one sat in front of the fireplace flipping through spell books, and the other sat in front of Burris with a smile and asked him if he needed food.
The three people freely entered and exited the tower, served attentively, brought old clothes, lit the fireplace, and refilled the teapot.
They had already heard the conversation between Burris and Lott. Presumably Movia already knew all about it.
Movia must be very pleased. Lord Skeleton didn't doubt him, only the "young apprentice" was suspicious.
But the "young apprentice" has never acted, which shows that he also knows how dangerous it is to climb the tower without authorization. He was looking for an opportunity, and now is his opportunity.
If he quits, the three mage apprentices will pretend that nothing happened. If he takes action, then he will be responsible for all the consequences.
Although Movia is a little poor, he is also a well-known mage, and the upper echelons of the Tower of the Sea Abyss must be closely guarded. Protective spells plus three apprentices who have studied magic for many years... To deal with a twenty-year-old human mage, all of this should be more than enough.
Burris sighed and put down his glass. The tea has been watered so many times that it has no taste.
There was nothing wrong with the idea of Movia and the elf apprentice. It's a pity that this little human mage is not twenty years old, he is already eighty-four years old.
=====================
A few minutes later.
The apprentice sitting in front of Burris fell into a coma, and the apprentice in front of the fireplace fell into hallucinations, curled up in the high-backed chair and muttered thirty-one ways to cook tuna. The apprentice in the corridor was the smartest and most capable, and he resisted Stopping Burris' sneak attack spell, he chased Burris all the way to the third floor, and was pressed to the ground by seven or eight hands formed of dust.
Boris walked up layer by layer and saw the living area, library, dispensing room, experiment area, etc... Like all mage towers, most areas of the Tower of the Abyss are protected by forbidden magic. Most of the forbidden spells are very old, and have been operating in the tower for a long time, roughly guessing at least a hundred years... Thinking about it this way, the spells should be left by the previous owner of the tower, and the caster is The human mage Finney, not the later elf Morvia.
So what did Morvia do? He had Finney's permission to go directly through forbidden magic, so he never undid them, improved them, at most only strengthened some of them. He had cast the new ban protection in some areas, but his skill was far from his master's.
Although the defense left by Finney has been in disrepair for a long time, the foundation is very solid, and it takes a little effort to remove it; while Movia's protection level... Burris couldn't help shaking his head. If Heisong can be more patient, even his skills No worse than Morvia's.
There are many traces left by the mage Finney in the Tower of the Abyss. His experimental equipment is placed in the research room, and a large number of books are piled up on the bookshelves and desks... On the contrary, Movia has relatively few things. Movia has lived in the Tower of the Abyss for more than 160 years. There are not as many things as there are human beings.
Boris found the mage Finney's daily notes and spell notes, as well as Morvia's spell notes and some purchase books. He hid them behind the distracting blinders, and continued exploring the upper floors of the tower.
The highest point of the Tower of the Sea Abyss is a pavilion that is transparent on all sides, and the cold light ball is suspended here. The entrance to the pavilion was opened in the center of the floor, that is, on the ceiling of the lower floor. The forbidden magic on the wooden ladder and door panel was also left by Finney.
Different from other places, Movia strengthened this spell several times, and also placed an instant death curse on it.
This is not like the style of the elves, especially the island elves, they are not even willing to accept necromancy and foreign world studies, that is, the curse of death is the most vicious thing in their opinion.
When it comes to setting the death curse, who better than Yriel? Burris remembered when he returned to the Gem Forest in his thirties... At that time, how many instant death curses he had lifted along the way, it was almost impossible to count.
After dispelling the spell, Boris pushed open the door and climbed into the pavilion filled with cold light. From here, you can overlook the port of Suhi Island and the entire trading area, and you can also watch the dark and silent sea in the distance.
There is no wind at such a high place, it must be because there is an isolation force field outside. It can shield all external interference except light, but it does not prevent the internal power from radiating outward.
Boris chanted the spell, and an analytical circle gradually appeared in his hands. The magic circle rose slowly, extending horizontally into a translucent force field film, wrapping the light ball like sugar wrappers, and gradually blending into it.
A series of incantations and data began to emerge in front of Boris' eyes, which are all the magic components and historical behaviors of the light sphere.
After reading it, Boris took back the analysis circle, and copied what he read into a marble-sized magic storage obsidian.
He has already figured out the secret of the Tower of the Abyss.
I heard that the murloc attacks in history were related to the red full moon, but today is not a full moon, it will be tomorrow night. On the wall of the pavilion hangs a moon phase table with notes in Elvish: On the night of the full moon this month, Quintilia and the surrounding area will see a total lunar eclipse.
— that is, the so-called red full moon.
Burris sighed deeply.
He clung to the guardrail, dispelling the isolation force field with a brief character. The strong wind suddenly poured through the pavilion, blowing his clothes and hair into a mess.
A metal raven slid in on the wind and landed firmly on his arm.
The author has something to say:
Master and apprentice doing things together...
