Chapter 93 Walking in the Shadows

After the tower keeper heard the word “crazy box”, His eyes sharpened instantly.

I was thinking that in the last month of my term, as long as there is no problem with the seal, it turns out that I will do whatever I worry about.

For a split second, she even wanted to directly notify the Chief-In-Charges in the fortress area for a battle meeting.

No…

This impulsive thought only existed for a moment, and the tower guard quickly calmed down.

In order to ensure that the seal of the Crazy Box will not be used by people with ulterior motives, the “manic” thing of the Demon General sealed under the Star Lighthouse in the black light city has always been a top secret, even in Thorn City for so many years. Rose Palace was also unaware.

And now I heard the word “crazy box” from the mouth of this special envoy, whether the “gift sect” is an undo seal as he said, at least it proves that this secret has been leaked.

“Why do you guys know about this?”

She asked in a serious tone, and even invoked the magic in Star Lighthouse to create coercion when she spoke.

The huge magic power turned into invisible coercion and blessed the man in front of him. Even the powerhouse of Legendary Domain would have to show an uncomfortable expression, but the man in front of him was He didn’t even frown.

“We didn’t know about this in advance. It was the news from the documents that the members who defected to the Gift Sect Mage Hall did not have time to destroy, so I came here to remind you.”

The other party replies as usual.

There is really nothing wrong with this statement, and she doesn’t see any weak spot from the other party’s expression.

After all, he basically kicked the ball to the “gift sect”.

As for how the gift sect knows about the seal, why they want to undo the seal, and how they want to break through the impregnable defenses here…

He will answer these details. As if he didn’t know anything, he didn’t even mention it.

Anyway, he’s been talking to himself thoroughly, and he just came over to be responsible for informing about this.

Whatever choice Star Lighthouse makes after that is their own decision and has nothing to do with them.

Little tricks…

The tower guards thought.

What if the other party can provide evidence? He himself said that they only have written materials to prove this matter, and it is not too simple to falsify written materials.

If she really only listened to this person’s words, and immediately ordered the strength of the fortress area to clear the bounty sect, she was in the favor of Thorn City, and was completely used as a tool. .

“Then please go back and tell Your Excellency Vincent, thank you very much for his reminder, we will continue to increase the security force for the seal of the mad box, and will not give the gift sect such a small opportunity. .”

The tower keeper replied.

The implication is that we will continue to shrink our strength to protect the safety of the seal, and don’t count on clearing the gift sect.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, the other party’s face changed for the first time.

“Is this really good? It’s just to shrink the power here, and if you don’t take the initiative to solve the hidden danger, the equivalent to give the initiative to the other party.”

The other party said in a low tone .

In this regard, the tower guard who completely saw through his tricks said with a cold smile:

“If you could know how hard we defended that seal, there would never be such a thing. It’s an idea.”

Let’s not talk about a gift sect that was not well-known before, didn’t the mysterious organization “Crows” smashed here fifteen years ago?

“No matter how sophisticated the defense is, there will be loopholes. Only by solving the hidden dangers can the real problem be solved.”

The opponent continued to persuaded with sincerity.

“No need, please tell me about Your Excellency Vincent…what’s the matter?!”

Before the tower guard could finish speaking, the door of the star-gazing room suddenly It was opened, and the previous attendant mage stumbled in.

He didn’t even consider the presence of outsiders beside him, and walked over to meet the angry eyes of the tower guard.

And the first sentence he said made the tower guard’s mood change from anger to panic.

“Sir, news just came from the sealing room that the sacred relic that sealed the mad box has been stolen!”

“What?!”

… …

The poisonous snake Star Lighthouse, the base of the underground tower.

Crowfeather Prophet walked slowly in the shadows.

In his line of sight, everything seems to be fuzzy shrouded in shadows, and only a general outline can be seen. And as long as he moved, those shadows would be dragged into long afterimages.

And all the sounds around him seemed to be coming from far away, and he had to do his best to get the extremely weak echoes into his ears.

Dark and lonely.

He seems to be walking under the projection of this world. Even if he passes by the guards here, they are not aware of his existence.

With his expert shadow spell level, he couldn’t walk completely in the shadows like this.

But…

Crowfeather Prophet touched the dark and deep brooch on his chest.

The Crown of Darkness.

The Divine Item, the town council of the Thieves Guild, used to be the status symbol of the Thieves Guild’s successive presidents. As long as it is worn, the wearer can be completely transformed into the incarnation of the shadow, walking in the shadow that others cannot see.

But this Divine Item has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and the Thieves Guild even established a branch called “Dark Crown” in order to retrieve it, and the continent is looking for news of its possible existence.

didn’t expect it was actually in the hands of the presiding judge.

Crowfeather Prophet sighed as he escaped a patrol of a group of dark Shadow Servant spirits, and then bypassed several exquisitely arranged magic traps.

When he was in the shadows, the trigger traps that were originally designed to be hidden were as dazzling as dragon blood ink dripping on the parchment.

The so-called shadow is the state without light, and light is the essence that makes up everything in this world.

So the shadow represents the unknown and the secret.

It is like a fuzzy state before the creation of the world, which cannot be recognized by any sensibility.

Shadow magic is a false proposition, because the shadow itself represents a state where magic does not exist. Among the thirteen spells, only the shadow department is constantly expelling magic power to create a temporary hidden space.

As far as he walks in the shadows, no matter how concealed those traps or alarm devices are, as long as they are driven by magic, they are as dazzling as fire in the dark.

Wandering all the way to the door of the sealing room, he waited patiently for a while, and followed the rotating guards and walked in.

Although Ravenfeather Prophet has never been here in person, he is very familiar with it.

In Father of Crows’ dreams, vivid memories of the tragedy fifteen years ago are vividly remembered.

The high-end battle strength that the Crows had been operating for many years was completely lost in that battle, and the subsequent retaliatory attack by the Star Council almost brought the entire organization into collapse. Although the Father of Crows could not answer them because of his eternal slumber, all arakkoa after that could feel his grief in their dreams.

Of course, fifteen years later, the layout here has changed a lot compared to the previous one.

Compared to the previous tight defense, the seal room is more… loose?

Crowfeather Prophet did not dare to move for a while, for fear that this was a trap.

In the memory of the dream, the entire sealing room is full of magic traps, and the surrounding statues are all self-disciplined puppets that can be awakened at any time. And the guards are only five Master Level magic casters, two of which are still Master Level Peak.

Afterwards, the Crows were extremely puzzled when they analyzed the tragic failure, why they guarded the seal at all costs.

Be aware that the resources needed to maintain so many magic traps and magic puppets is not a small amount, plus five Master Level magic casters are arranged in such a place, even for Star As far as the Council is concerned, it is not a small waste.

In the sealed chamber, which should have been more vigilant after an invasion, the current guard strength is less than one-fifth of what it was back then.

Crowfeather Prophet had heard from the tavern boss before that the current tower keeper had raised the defense level of the fortress area for several rounds because he did not want to make mistakes at the end of his term.

Even the defense level of the fortress area has been increased, so there is no reason why the defense level of the sealing room should not be increased.

Why is this?

Or is this level of guarding the norm now?

That extravagant defensive configuration back then was because they knew the crows would come?

Who told the Star Council about the actions of the Crows?
