Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 2388: The Tower of Despair
The most troublesome thing is that a person can only choose this mushroom once.

Just like marking out territory, once he gets his hands on it, it's his, so there's no need to pay the price again.

The great wizards in the Tower of Despair just have no bottom line, not no brains.

They certainly experimented many times.

Otherwise, the defense tower wouldn't have been just a false reputation in those years without gaining any benefits.

They also had to put the Black Mystery Tower in the front to resist the temptations of the Xiya Tower.

Indeed, this makes it difficult for the Black Mystery Tower to do anything, but... no matter what they do, it will be meaningless anyway, so they might as well make use of the waste.

Moreover, didn’t this bring them considerable benefits?

Not everyone can enjoy the benefits of the Seattle Tower.

It is precisely because the Black Mystery Tower has been built under their noses that they think they can take it back easily.

The Tower of Despair had thought it through quite thoughtfully at the beginning. With Rut's temper, when he was sure that only by risking his life could he avenge his teachers and bring eternal crisis to the Tower of Xia, that guy would do it.

All his selfishness will give way to the memories of the past. Although the Black Mystery Tower and his students may not end up well, with Root's ability, he will definitely be able to leave a backup plan.

In this way, the Defense Tower achieved the best result... The complete destruction of the Black Mystery Tower would naturally wipe out all the conspiracies and plots of the past.

The Tower of Xia will be forced to temporarily halt its expansion because of the war, giving the Tower of Despair, which is closest to it, ample time to prepare.

Although I don't really want to fight with that group of big devils, it is still worth it if paying a certain price can make the Tower of Despair the sole master of this world.

Anyway, with the speed and quality of their student recruitment, they would be able to gather enough Eighth-ring mages sooner or later.

They also don't need to worry that the heritage of the Tower of Despair will be damaged because these mages have their wings broken.

With the Fruit of Wisdom, they can naturally cultivate more loyal, trustworthy descendants who continue their bloodline and become the Nine Rings!

For those who have no idea of ​​the reality of other worlds and regard the Nine Rings as the end of the mage's path, they have never thought about whether such Nine Rings would have no future... Anyway, the main fruit of the Fruit of Wisdom will not affect the progress of the mage who eats it.

The most important thing is that those mages who can advance to the eighth ring because of the Fruit of Wisdom can easily develop feelings for the Tower of Despair, and are more likely to sacrifice themselves than their descendants who know too much and are a bit cold-blooded and selfish in order to take the ninth-ring Fruit of Wisdom.

The Tower of Despair has actually prepared its own hundred-year plan and is just waiting for a decisive battle between Root and the Tower of Thea.

Who would have thought that such a special existence would suddenly appear in the Tower of Darkness... When the Tower of Despair first heard about the great wizard who pretended to be Gilbert and the gods he brought with him, they tried to test the gods on their side who had always been very confident to see if they could suppress the opponent.

Those people also acted very confidently, saying that they could capture that 'Gilbert' and kill him to use as fertilizer for the Fruit of Wisdom!
However, the result is what it is now.

Don’t even mention whether it’s fertilizer or not. Even those evil gods are gone and won’t come back.

The one who planted the fruit of wisdom was still responding, but the subordinates she sent were only auxiliary personnel and were of no use in battle.

That person never mentioned coming to help.

But in fact, the great wizards of the Tower of Despair have already figured it out... If it is someone who even the Lord of Hell behind the Tower of Xiya dare not offend, then they will actually not be able to deal with the people who are building a large-scale project at the Defense Tower.

And the other party didn't even have the strong man behind him.

Of course, it may have happened, but there is no need to give Vecna ​​and Igvir a look.

The great wizards of the Tower of Despair were not stupid... There were so many enemies on the opposite side, but only one goddess took action to directly kill those behind them, which only proved how big the gap between the two sides was.

However, over the past few years, they had completely trusted each other because of the other party's exaggerated claims and made very unwise choices.

The Tower of Despair has to face the current embarrassing consequences because of this wrong choice.

But this is the result, and the Tower of Despair has accepted this ending.

Anyway, as long as the Fruit of Wisdom is still there, even if they have to lose their home completely like the Defense Tower, they will still have the day to start over again.

The Meteorite Mage Du looked leisurely at the undead rushing around in the inner tower area, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

It would be nice to let these guys think that their magic tower is so short-handed that only these useless Eight-Rings in front of them can be used.

He didn't care if anyone died in this chaotic fight.

At this point in time, the descendants of those in power in the Tower of Despair really don't want anything to go wrong, so they have already hidden in the safest place.

No one expects these so-called mobile personnel to make any contribution. They can only wander around in the inner tower. It is of course good for them to be alive.

But if something goes wrong, no one will bother him.

The Meteorite Wizard took a proud look at his own absolutely unbreakable, towering main tower... He didn't notice the tiny, pitiful little devil that had already climbed more than halfway up and was trembling in the wind.

With the previous experiences of the Dark Tower and the Defense Tower, the Tower of Despair will of course make full preparations.

They don't want to stay where they are and fight to the death with the Tower of Xia.

If you can't bear it anymore, the best option is to escape far away.

Even though those evil gods tricked them, pretending to be the best in the world even though they had no special abilities, at least those two helped them transform a one-of-a-kind magic tower that could directly enter and move into dimensional space!
Although there is no way to be sure where they will move to, but as long as the direction of the Xia Tower can be ruled out, is there any place in this world that they cannot go to?
Even though there is now an additional defense tower, we cannot go to the mountain area over there.

But there is no need to worry too much, their Tower of Despair will not be so unlucky.

As for the alchemical potions carried by the undead that could cause great damage to them, he was actually not that worried.

The Meteorite Master has just confirmed it... the potion cannot bypass the wall engraved with isolation arrays to have an effect.

Then don't be afraid.

Their magic tower... not a single wall is empty!
-
"Sir, this magic tower is... too messy, isn't it?" Lister, who had been observing for a while, couldn't help but sigh.

Even the floating magic tower that he temporarily controls is several times more powerful than that messy thing on the giant screen!
This does not include demiplanes.

Lister has always been concerned about the safety of the magic tower. After all, once Hill settles down, he will definitely be responsible for the security of the settlement and various daily affairs.

So, when Hill was staring at Neta's hide-and-seek game, Lister noticed the mushroom elf.

After that, he was always puzzled by the fact that the little girl could find leverage anywhere and at any time... Even the neighbor next door to Aglaia, the Habel Magic Tower with countless gems inlaid on its surface, could not be climbed so easily!
Don't be fooled by the tower's glittering appearance. In fact, there is a layer of transparent plastic-like film on the outside. This thing not only amplifies the light of the gems, but also makes the magic tower appear to be the same thickness from top to bottom and very smooth.

Of course, the gems in the bottom area of ​​the magic tower are still exposed... but those tiny gems actually form a small charging magic circle that allows the puppet guards at the door to move freely.

If anyone dares to touch those gems, the gatekeeper puppet will be the first to react.

Although magic towers have their own protective arrays, in a place like Toril where even the ancestors of thieves might pry stones with their own hands, no one would allow their own magic tower to have such a big loophole.

Even so, the magic tower, which was cleverly conceived but has now completely collapsed, is also the most courageous magic tower Lister has ever seen.

Although Lister later realized that there are no thieves in this world.

But...the one crawling on top now is not a thief!
Not even a wizard who can grant himself the Climb spell.

It’s not like the Tower of Despair is without enemies. If the people over at the Tower of Xiya see this thing, they will definitely be able to find 100 ways to use these protruding points to cause trouble!
Lister's intelligent core calculated for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the Tower of Despair was so confident. He could only ask Hill out of curiosity.

"It's the result of the accumulation of magic circles." Even though the mushroom elf's various climbing methods were quite interesting, Hill didn't want to look at the magic tower. "Where the elf climbed, all the magic nodes were too close, affecting each other and causing outer protrusions.

If an adult man were to climb, it wouldn't be so smooth.

After all, they are protrusions formed by the accumulation of elements, and it is easy to crush them and leave nothing behind.

Fortunately, the undead themselves are of a relatively light weight type.

Besides, this little bomb fairy is considered small even among lolita girls."

Liszt was stunned: "But, if the magic circles have reached the point where they affect each other, won't the effects be discounted?
Moreover, there may be negative effects!"

Hill was also a little confused: "With so many spell nodes, once the Tower of Despair is turned on the highest mode, it will be easy to slip into another dimension.

If that happens, the base of the tower will definitely not be saved.

But this tower of his is not a mobile magic tower!"

It’s not like he hasn’t built a traditional magic tower in this world before.
