Dawn of the Grey Tower

"They were right not to come in person."

As soon as Cheese walked into the stargazing room, he knew why the previous four gray-robed clones were so embarrassed by An Lina.

Just because once he entered this room, his body seemed to be pressed against a mountain. Don't get me wrong, this is not to say that An Lina used gravity magic or something like that to cause a physical increase in weight.

But as a spellcaster, Cheese can feel the magic power around him as if it has been sucked away from the water, and it is as if it is clotted, dry and suffocating, and the magic power that usually needs to be mobilized is in this room. Even if you use three points, you may not be able to succeed.

In other words, most spellcasters who rely on magic power to cast spells will have at least a 30% discount on their skills here. If they are less skilled, it is very likely that they will not be able to cast spells directly. Magic power is like air to mages. If the air suddenly becomes difficult to inhale and expel, the cost of survival will also be greatly increased.

An Lina nodded with a smile, snapped her fingers backhand, and the door of the stargazing room closed silently, and the next second, the air in the entire room lightened. She gently stroked the armrest of the seat, and the damaged astronomical instruments were pushed by invisible forces, and they began to recover slowly.

All this seems easy, but don't forget that Alina did not manipulate these broken things through any medium, or in other words, did not pass through any visible medium.

Closing the door has two meanings, one of which is to ensure privacy.

The second is to create a confined space. If the terrain is open, it will be difficult for mages to perform wonders, but in a closed room, they have a way to distort some common sense.

For example, a room with left and right reversed, a room with greater or less gravity, so it’s not so outrageous to have a room that can repair itself, isn’t it? The only difference is that the process of repairing this mystery is now taking place right before our eyes.

So strictly speaking, the stargazing room at this time has become a magical space, and its interior is in a superimposed state of reality and unreality. Only when everything here is repaired properly and the shadow of magic fades will it return to normal.

Cheese and An Lina, on the other hand, are like people who are forced to stand in the torrent. They should not be there, because the mysterious process is mysterious, and there can be no observers in the black box.

But they are here because they are all mages who are powerful enough to ignore this requirement, and they themselves have some mysterious characteristics, which allow them to walk between the two worlds.

"Just because of such a small barrier? They are also gray robes."

Alina propped her chin with one hand, looking very interested in Cheese's answer. Cheese couldn't be more familiar with this look, it was like this every time An Lina was preparing to test herself.

He also didn't forget that even if he mispronounced, he would be caught and read for a whole day. At that time, Cheese only thought that An Lina was nagging and likes to make things difficult for others, but now he has gradually been able to understand the intentions behind those meticulous inspections. Because he is also a teacher, he knows that even a little misunderstanding of an apprentice is dangerous for spellcasting.

"They are also gray robes, so they don't dare to underestimate this enchantment. Locally affecting the nature of magic power is no longer something that can be done with time. If you make up your mind, you may be able to deprive all spellcasters nearby of their power." The ability to cast spells. At that time, they will be as helpless as a baby in front of you as a blood race."

What Cheese said is of course the most beneficial possibility for An Lina. If the other gray robes really want to deal with her, of course they will try their best to avoid it from happening. They must have many ways.

But who knows if Alina has a way to deal with them? Generally speaking, the defender needs to pay many times the upfront cost than the attacker in order to resist the opponent's attack from nowhere and in what way. Therefore, there are few fortresses that are truly impossible to break through. After all, design is always inevitable. Flawed. This is not the case with magic, because as long as you cast spells, your opponent can easily turn passive into active.

How did the offense and defense change? Please allow me to use a more esoteric example to illustrate that the battle between spells is like using the Internet to throw some kind of weapon that can be transformed into an entity at the other party. For example, if you swing a bat at the computer screen, the bat can rush out of the opponent's screen and smash the bridge of his nose.

The countermeasure and counterattack of magic is like the opponent finds your home along the network cable in reverse, drags you out of the house and beats you violently. This whole process is almost unmodifiable, because magic is not the Internet after all, and its place of occurrence is difficult to fake in a short period of time. As long as you cast a spell, even weaker spellcasters can immediately find a location to fight back.

Therefore, mages seldom engage in guerrilla warfare. Every time a spell is contacted, the attacker must directly face the opponent's counterattack, and a spellcaster with a mage tower or similar resources can naturally launch a counterattack far exceeding the power of the attack. In short, in magical battles, there is no real defense.

"It seems that your mind is still clear. You have gained a lot from this trip?"

Alina leaned back in the chair and changed the subject. The question she just asked actually meant that Cheese realized the current situation in the Gray Tower. This is now An Lina's fortress, and it cannot be easily captured by the cooperation of four or five gray robes.

"It's quite a lot. But I think the biggest gain is this."

Cheese said, and took out a book from his arms, which was the first gray robe work he got by chance in the City of Laws, the basic principles of magic. He suspected that this was the posthumous work of the teacher that the gray robes said, but he didn't find any evidence from the book, so he showed it to An Lina. Since it was the city of ten thousand magics she sent him to, she should be right This book understands something.

Whatever mysterious secrets this book contains, it needs an insider to reveal, because it doesn't seem to give clues of its own.

"Sure enough, you found it. So did you find any shocking secrets from it?"

An Lina is laughing~www.readwn.com~ She seems to know the existence of this book, and even its content. So you can tell its authenticity at a glance, and there is no point in seeing its records.

"No. I didn't find anything. The content in it is what the teacher taught us. Nothing more, nothing less."

Cheese's memory has always been very good. Now he not only remembers the contents of the whole book, but can even tell the wrinkles on every page.

An Lina was neither disappointed nor happy when she heard it, as if Cheese had answered an irrelevant question, a question she already knew the answer to. So the silence began and lasted until Cheese spoke again.

"This is the answer?" His tone was a little flustered, a little surprised, what did he think of?

"This is the answer." Alina answered neatly without any pause.

"But... why? No, for what? What does he... want us to do?"
