Chapter 139 Magic Tower

There were many buildings in this area, but the magic tower was the tallest and most striking.

Generally, after completing their first job advancement, mages could enter the magic tower to further their studies, learning at least one advanced magic. They could also study different types of magic based on their needs.

After advancing to Archmage, most would choose to enter the magic tower, forgetting some of the magic they had learned before and systematically learning new magic suited to their tactics.

A magic tower contained at least several thousand spells to choose from. Generally, an Archmage who came out of a magic tower could be described as having undergone a complete transformation.

It was said that the entire Greenland had ten magic towers, with three located in the distant polar regions, the perilous Endless Sea, and the wild marshes. The magic towers in these places contained countless powerful spells. Two others were slightly inferior, located in Carol City and Nissod City. They had fewer spells, only five or six hundred types, and they were more common spells. It was rare to find powerful magic there.

No one knew where the remaining five were. Later, news broke that one magic tower was in Cripps Fortress. The popularity of Cripps Fortress was immediately boosted. At that time, the Triumph Empire controlled the magic tower, only allowing members of their guild to enter the magic tower for further study. If outsiders wanted to enter, first, they had to be friendly to the Triumph Empire and not enemies. Second, they had to pay money. Without five or six thousand gold coins, they couldn't even think about entering the magic tower.

The magic towers in Carol City and Nissod City were too poor. Many players heard that there was a magic tower in Cripps, and they rushed over, willing to spend money to enter the magic tower for further study.

Generally, magic towers were not destroyed because they were protected by powerful magic barriers. Even if the fortress was destroyed, the magic tower would always be there, standing forever.

As long as they continued to occupy Cripps Fortress, this magic tower would become a resource advantage for the Ni Ren Tribe!

This magic tower was a reward building in Cripps Fortress. The intermediate fortresses in Nissod City, Moonlight City, and other cities also had similar reward buildings: the arena for training warriors, the temple of prayer for training priests, the sacred hall for training paladins, the thieves' house for training thieves, and so on.

"Our mages are in luck," Nie Yan said. Having such a magic tower would greatly benefit the mages of the Ni Ren Tribe.

In his previous life, the Triumph Empire had only captured intermediate fortresses. They cleared a high-level fortress once when they were over a hundred levels, but they were completely wiped out, and they didn't dare to go again. In this life, the sealed history had been opened ahead of schedule, and there would probably be new changes.

The importance of the intermediate fortress, Cripps, was beyond doubt! Its geographical location was also very important. Five fortresses surrounded Cripps Fortress like stars surrounding the moon, only twenty minutes away. Once they occupied Cripps, they could attack or defend, firmly grasping the surrounding five fortresses in their hands.

If he captured Cripps, Nie Yan would definitely move the headquarters of the Ni Ren Tribe there. It would become the main city of the Ni Ren Tribe.

Of the five fortresses, two belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, two belonged to the Ni Ren Tribe, and the other belonged to the Garan Temple, forming a defensive posture around Cripps. This area would completely become the territory of the Ni Ren Tribe.

The importance of the magic tower was beyond doubt. The Ni Ren Tribe would definitely manage this fortress well and make full use of the magic tower.

Nie Yan walked towards the magic tower in the distance. He saw a faint light membrane shrouded around the magic tower, blocking everyone outside. He walked up and touched the light membrane, and a strong rebounding force came from his hand.

A small path paved with bluestone led straight into the magic tower. The magic elements were still and silent, and the gray-white tower looked deep and solemn.

System: Players other than Archmages are not allowed to enter.

Nie Yan turned to look at the others and asked, "Which of you have successfully advanced? Go take a look inside the magic tower."

Yu Wang Ran Zhi Qing Chun, Xia Chong Yu Bing, and Xi Huan Jiang Nan had all advanced to Archmage. They could enter.

"Boss, let's go inside and take a look."

The three of them walked to the side of the barrier. They reached out and found that they could easily pass through the barrier. They walked into the barrier and headed towards the entrance of the magic tower. If they could successfully complete their studies in the magic tower, their attributes and strength would be greatly improved after they came out.

Seeing them go in, the others continued to clear the monsters in the fortress.

Nie Yan's command work was very simple. Cui Can Dao Guang and the others had excellent awareness and didn't need much direction from him to do a good job, so his work was naturally very easy.

Just then, Guo Huai suddenly sent a message that in Carol City, the people he had sent had lost track of the Angel Domination's elven thief.

Thieves had stealth skills, so it was easy to get rid of tracking.

Guo Huai had been watching the other four people, but only the thief had evaded their tracking.

What did he want to do as a thief?

"Could he be heading towards you?" Guo Huai asked, feeling a vague sense of unease.

"Even if he is, it's nothing, just an elven thief," Nie Yan said. With so many people in their Ni Ren Tribe, a thief couldn't cause much trouble.

"I hope nothing happens." Guo Huai was still a little worried.

Nie Yan smiled. When a person had enough confidence, they wouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters.

The team advanced slowly. Gradually, a wide square appeared in front of them. Several thousand phantom warriors were gathered in the square. In the center of the square was a giant bear five or six yards tall, like a mobile fortress, quite terrifying.

Level 70 mutated lord, Blacket Black Bear!

A very famous mutated creature. In his previous life, the Triumph Empire and the Radiant Sacred Flame had wiped out countless times to clear out the Blacket Black Bear, with corpses strewn everywhere. Later, they found some tips for killing the Blacket Black Bear before finally clearing out this big guy.

It turned out that when the Blacket Black Bear activated Bloodlust, it could convert all the corpses nearby into its health, so when dealing with the Blacket Black Bear, the players' corpses had to be cleared as soon as possible. The dead had to rush over from the graveyard to resurrect as quickly as possible. In the prelude to the Blacket Black Bear activating Bloodlust, even at the cost of the dead members losing levels, they had to purify their corpses.

The Blacket Black Bear had a skill called Dark Roar, which could deduct health from all players within a hundred yards. The calculation rule for health deduction was related to the defense type. Warriors could still withstand it, but all mages within a hundred yards were instantly killed! Priests could avoid the disaster by using Holy Light Shield.

There was also another skill called Dark Bloom, which could continuously drain the health of units within a thirty-yard radius. During this period, the main shield warriors had to be blessed with the paladin's protection against evil, otherwise they would definitely die. As for the other warriors, after a batch was sacrificed, new warriors had to immediately take their place. Otherwise, with the Blacket Black Bear's strength, a few shield warriors alone could not withstand it. A large number of cannon fodder were needed to buy time for the shield warriors.

In his previous life, the Triumph Empire, in order to show off their achievements, had posted a video of their guild of six or seven thousand people taking down the Blacket Black Bear on the internet. Nie Yan had watched it at the time and remembered the general process.

In his previous life, the Blacket Black Bear had dropped three sub-legendary equipment. The attributes of those three equipment were posted online, making everyone envious. At that time, Nie Yan, like ordinary players, looked at those three sub-legendary equipment with awe, but he didn't feel anything this time. After all, his equipment was so good that it could be called god-level among players.

Nie Yan looked around. The square was surrounded by buildings, close together, but most of the buildings were relatively low, about five or six yards high.

They had to clear out all the phantom warriors near the Blacket Black Bear first!

Nie Yan said, "All magic professions go on the roof!"

Some magic profession players went to the roof one after another, either through the stairs or using some props. Those who didn't have similar skills were pulled up by other mages using skills. Mages had a rescue skill. When teammates were in danger, they could use skills to pull their teammates to their side. Now this skill could also be used to pull teammates directly to the roof.

A group of mages scattered across the tops of various buildings.

"Sun and Yi Chui Ding Qing come with me to aggro the monsters. Everyone else, stand by," Nie Yan said, arranging the aggro work. With Sun and Yi Chui Ding Qing's strength, this kind of aggro work was very simple.

Three figures swept across the square, running in different directions.

Nie Yan arrived at an open space, raised the crossbow in his hand, and shot arrows one after another. A group of phantom warriors gathered towards him, numbering two or three hundred.

Nie Yan quickly turned around and ran back. This group of phantom warriors followed behind, accelerating their charge and swinging their greatswords.

This group of phantom warriors was very difficult to deal with. Once they got close, they would use all kinds of combat skills. Fortunately, Nie Yan's running speed was relatively fast.

Soon, this group of phantom warriors was attracted to the designated location. In the sky, a series of area-of-effect magic smashed down fiercely. Magic elements exploded and flew around. Nie Yan used Gale Step to dodge these magic attacks and quickly ran into the corner of the wall, leaping over a low wall.

Under the exploding magic, this group of phantom warriors let out a series of shrill screams and fell to the ground one after another.

Various area-of-effect spells obscured people's vision. They couldn't see clearly what was happening in the center of the area-of-effect spells. After several tens of seconds, the area-of-effect spells subsided. When they looked at the open space in front of them again, it was a mess, with corpses lying everywhere and various equipment scattered on the ground. Only a few scattered phantom warriors were still standing.
