The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 216 Destruction of the Astronomical Tower
It didn't take long for the sage Viroson to make up his mind, and he was ready to sacrifice in order to spread the truth.

However, at the last moment of his life, he insisted on using the griffin to take Ickert over from Windsor. After a face-to-face conversation, Viroson completely ended his obsession with the avenue.

At the same time, Ickert was also quite shocked, because he saw the terrifying prototype of the computer in the Obscure Moon Magic Tower.
If you make a few original half-adders for this thing, it seems that you can make a magic computer.
As the result of Viroson's lifelong research, the magic lamp group and its research materials were planned to be transferred to Windsor, along with most of the materials and wealth of the Astronomical Tower.

The new astronomical tower will continue to exist with the help of the territory's "learning", and from the magical treasure house of the astronomical tower, Ickert has further upgraded his own equipment.

Lani took out a golden hilt for him from the treasury, which is said to be a rune weapon made by a sage for a flame mage.

The name is nothing special, it is called Lie Yan Demon Sword, which is the embryonic form of today's flame enchantment.

The power of the flame demon sword will increase with the user's cultivation. At present, Ikert can only use it as a flamethrower. Maybe when he is a high-level mage, he should be able to use this thing as a lightsaber?
It is entirely possible to generate high-temperature plasma or something in terms of magical abilities.

In addition to this "flaming sword" that can be adapted to high-levels, Ickert also found that the force mages of these astronomical towers also have some inferior rune magic swords.

The principle of killing is different from that of the Flaming Demon Sword, so it can exert its power earlier. In addition to the unique mage robe and force magic of the Astronomical Tower, all of them are like the Jedi Knights in the screen.

This kind of rune armament should be a unique way of discussing the astrology school.

In this situation, Ikert suddenly couldn't help but said to Lani who was leading the way:
"May the Force guide you."

People of the astrological school only think of Iktor as a blessing.

Debates about the truth quickly spread within the school, and some young mages and professors who agreed with this point of view were selected and kept as seeds.

After the heated debate, the fire seeds of these schools apparently broke with the original school, and moved to the territory together with Ickert.

And then, in order not to leave a corrupt stigma on the new theory, the sage Viroson decided to burn himself in the fire.

At the moment when the Obscure Moon Magic Tower burned all night, Benson's terrible thesis also spread everywhere with the help of Windsor's paper.

Not only gravity experiments, but various other phenomena, have been shown to have nothing to do with magic.

Because this article was under the guise of a gravity experiment, the entire magic community was not alert at first, and was only guessing the real cause of the sage's death.

However, as more and more magicians finished the experiment and asked their teacher anxiously, all the wizards were shocked.

This is a common disaster for the entire academic world. The old man named Benson, together with the sages of the Astrology School, tore down the future called Magic Genesis.

I also stepped on it and collapsed my feet, saying that these are worthless.

It's as if one day, an inexplicable guy yelled that the current physics of human beings is stupid, and there is a future in studying magic with him.

But the difference is that it is not difficult for a high-level magician to see that this person is not a clown, and the experimental results cannot be faked.

This is a crisis of faith!
When this problem, which was so serious that it affected the beliefs of thousands of magicians and was about to collapse the magic world, disturbed the world, all the magicians who insisted on the omnipotence of magic used all available means.

Countless pieces of parchment were frantically purchased by the mages, and countless papers and cover-up remarks resounded through the imperial capital.

Some of the astrological mages who also couldn't believe the "truth" also withdrew from the school one after another.

And the truly vicious "talkers" have completely torn off the disguise of "civilization and research".

An astrological mage was bombarded with three bursts of explosion magic from the back on the way out to buy materials, and the Imperial Tribunal preliminarily ruled that the victim committed suicide.

Only two days later, another mage who supported the "truth" was found "suicide" in the magic tower, surrounded by a lot of dark magic power, and his death was extremely miserable.

His wife and daughter were also found at the scene of the crime, both of whom had been refined into "dead spirits". The imperial case investigators believed that this was the "masterpiece" of the deceased during his lifetime.

The reason why the empire favors the traditional school of thought is naturally for the sake of stability. The emperor doesn’t care which school his mages follow. He only knows that the so-called truth will cause chaos and retreat in the empire’s high-end combat power, so it must be severely cracked down.

In such an extreme environment, the church also began to take the opportunity to hunt down the so-called magic elements who pursue "truth", and the entire imperial capital and the city of sages became a complete mess.

All forces are taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents. In the end, the unbearable emperor decided to end all this quickly and decisively.

A golden silk imperial order was quickly taken out of the Almin Palace, and the first regiment of the imperial guards who received the order was fully armed, with a total of [-] elite soldiers and assisting mages from various schools, and sent the astrology between the Academy of Truth and the sages. All the strongholds of the city were surrounded.

The college was the first to suffer. The old professors who had no resistance wanted to surrender, but they didn't know that their colleagues didn't give them a chance. The guards knew very well that whoever rushed in first could take over the wealth of the mages .

Even some daring students joined in the robbery, and the red-eyed army caused further chaos, and the entire Faculty of Truth was destroyed.

At the same time, the last Obscure Moon Magic Tower of the Astrology School was also surrounded by heavy armored infantry, and the Griffon Knight in the sky decided to rush in first to grab the credit.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the ground rushed in with the speculative mages.

However, those of the Astrology School who finally decided to stay and defend the truth are all firm.

Rune lightsabers lit up from time to time in the dark hall, and reckless soldiers and mages died under the force one after another.

As a mage, who doesn't have the ability to "discuss the Tao" in the academic world?
Fierce hand-to-hand combat unfolded on every floor of the magic tower, and bloody battles were taking place in every study, office, and even toilet.

Sometimes, in order to rob the mages of their property, especially their rune lightsabers, the soldiers will even fight desperately with their own people, and the mages are the same.

However, relying on the absolute superiority in numbers, the two groups of people finally surrounded Benson and the only remaining magic masters of the Astrology School in the middle level of the Obscure Moon Magic Tower.

The final fight was particularly tragic. The desperate resistance of the magic masters was not over yet. What was really terrifying was the subsequent fight for the remains of the high-ranking mage.

After the death of a high-level mage, the last thing he left in the world is the high-quality magic crystal condensed by his own practice.

The preciousness of this kind of thing can be imagined.

Even a finger of an extraordinary person is valuable.

In any case, the emperor never expected that a simple siege would cost the empire's most elite guards more than a thousand soldiers.

He couldn't estimate how many casualties the soldiers had caused in order to snatch the corpses of the mages.

The next day, when the army and mages all left, the servants who had served in the Obscure Moon Magic Tower returned there again.

What caught the eye was blood and stumps covering every layer.
