Chapter 82: Magic Tower Falling Project

　　...That's it.
　　Want to destroy [Starfire Furnace], it may be more difficult than defeating the Steppenwolf Council composed of multiple legendary wizards. The so-called key is actually the most difficult fortress to break, so it evolves into this "only one choice" situation.
　　 But why did the Hanged Man suddenly mention this? He couldn't just tell me information out of kindness, right? Thinking of this, Richard said.
　　 "You just need to tell me bluntly how you plan to act."
　　 "Didn't I tell you? I found a way to make the magic tower fall."
　　 The hanging man replied.
　　 "Do you know how to destroy [星火炉]?"
　　 Richard frowned.
　　 "No, but I know how to unlock the seal on it."
　　 the other party replied.
　　 "As long as the power of [Xinghuo Furnace] can be run away, it is also enough to destroy the magic tower and make it lose the ability to float. The consequences are the same."
"According to rumors, the meteorite used as the core material of [Xinghuo Furnace] has the last seal. It is likely to be a spell imposed by the gods. I may not be able to destroy it; but the two outer seals are human wizards. Added to it-in this world, as long as there is a spell, there must be a corresponding anti-curse."
　　 As long as the first two seals can be broken, the power of [Xinghuo] can be completely out of control.
　　 The Hanged Man said so surely.
　　The reason is that it has been nearly a thousand years since the magic tower was built, and the heat contained in the power furnace has long exceeded the original critical value. This is not to say that the energy in the meteorite outside the sky is breaking away from the seal of God over time. It is just that the heat energy leaked from the seal already has an astonishing magnitude over time.
　　 The heat under the two layers of seals was gradually brewed into a bomb on the verge of an explosion. Once it loses its restraint, the spray of flame will easily break down the underlying structure of the magic tower.
　　 At present, the reason why [Xinghuo Furnace] can still be used as a stable power source is entirely dependent on the magical support of the subsequent generations of Steppenwolf members to barely keep the seal strength within the normal range.
　　 "Seal of God..."
　　 Richard took this word in his heart.
　　What would be the one that allowed God to set a seal?
　　 If you think in this direction, there will be only one conclusion based on logic and rationality: [Xinghuo Furnace] also hides secrets about God.
　　 No wonder the preacher cares so much about the existence of [Xinghuo Furnace], but the Hanged Man rebuffs in the first place. They are very fond of the secrets hidden in the meteorite that fell into the wasteland thousands of years ago, and no one can solve the mystery even after that.
　　 This group of existences standing on the pinnacle of mankind, if they want to go one step closer, they can only get involved in the forbidden domain of God, right?
　　 In this world where the gods are far away from the earth, but still have a huge influence. Even if the legends’ thoughts and actions are unknown, Richard believes that most of them are coveting the power of God and approaching them in various ways, just like Rasputin tried to summon the devil. same.
　　 "If you can do it..."
　　 "In fact, I have already solved the puzzle. Just a hundred years ago, I worked out the anti-curse that can lift the seal and calculated the time when the compressed heat reached its limit."
　　 The Hanged Man made no secret of his pride and more explicit ambition.
"I know you have never believed me, Mr. Rasputin. But now, I have shown you my sincerity and ability. As long as the two of us work together, we can easily make the magic tower that stood for thousands of years like a piece Falling to the ground like broken bricks."
"According to our agreement, the spoils will be divided equally, including the secrets in [Star Fire Furnace], which will be shared by the two of us... Mr. Rasputin, should you be aware of it? There is a possibility that there is hidden It's a taboo that involves the'power of God', don't you desire it?"
　　 Rasputin certainly desires. ...The premise is that I am really a genuine Rasputin. Richard thought to himself, now I just want to keep my position, I'm already overwhelmed.
　　 "Is your companion only me? Isn't the evangelist's student still with you?"
　　 The old man laughed.
"Don't worry about him. On the day when the magic tower falls, do we who have completed this great cause still need to heed his opinions? Whether it is the'anointed' or the'saint', everyone is in front of the'power of God' Equality. When the time comes, the position of the apostle will be nothing but a bag, and I or you can easily replace it."
　　 The Hanged Man described a grand blueprint full of hope and ambition to Richard, and he also decisively threw out the bait of "power of the gods". This can be described as the right point, a condition that legendary wizards will covet, even if everything the other party says is limited to "possibility."
　　 But Richard is different. He was calm and completely unmoved.
　　 "I don't care about the future. I want to know all your plans. If you really intend to destroy the magic tower and want me to help you, you must tell everything frankly."
　　
　　...It seems that it is not so easy to convince the other party.
　　 In the paragraph about the "Power of God", the Hanged Man had prepared it in advance, and even when he said it, he felt that the ambition in his chest was rapidly expanding.
　　 The Hanged Man is very clear that all this is true. It is indeed possible that there is a secret related to an ancient hidden in the Starfire Furnace.
　　 But, this Rasputin seems to be an alien...
　　 The old wizard is a bit distressed. The "successor" in front of him, just like the self he once was, is a realist through and through. Compared with the potentially huge benefits, the other party obviously cares more about what they can get.
　　 "……"
　　 Seeing the gods' words can't shake the other party, Mr. Hanged Man can only change his mind.
"The purpose of the plan, I have just described, there are two paths in total: The first is to intensify the situation on the magic tower, so that the rest of the members of the'Steppenwolf' will focus on internal fighting, let alone It's easy to detect changes in the tower."
　　 Doesn't he want me to do this? Richard is a little worried, I don’t know how to intensify the conflict...No, Richard knows exactly, and the method is very simple, for example, as long as you find a way to provoke other wizard leaders in public, and It is not difficult to find such an opportunity.
　　 But obviously, this is nothing but death to him.
　　 "I have made relevant preparations, but I need your convenience."
　　 The hanged man answered.
"I will let my experimental products sneak into the bottom of the magic tower. You only need to let go of the restrictions between each layer. The experimental products themselves carry dangerous objects that can cause chaos, so you don't need to worry. And this Little thing, you can completely bypass other Steppenwolf members and directly issue commands to the ladder's control system."
　　 Richard thought about it, and quickly made his avatar make a nodding gesture.
　　 "Yes."
　　 "Very good. Then comes the second thing."
　　 The opponent suddenly raised his hand to him.
　　 Richard saw a flash of light appearing in Lingshi—it was a magic key.
　　...... Are you going to pass it on to me?
　　 In fact, in common sense, this action is risky. If the other party has bad intentions and hides a curse in it like a preacher, it is easy to be "contaminated" and lose the ability to cast spells. So ordinary extraordinary people will pay much attention to this kind of information exchange behavior. However, with his real name by his side, Richard is not worried about curses.
　　 "There is how to unlock the first seal spell on [Xinghuo Furnace], but the content is only half, and I will send someone to give you the remaining half."
　　 "Only one?"
　　 "The key to unlock the second seal and keep it with me."
　　 The Hanged Man smiled.
　　 "If the two seals are unlocked at the same time, [Xinghuo Furnace] will run away in the first place, so there is no way to hide from others and achieve the effect we need. Therefore, we should wait until the time is ripe before launching together."
　　 Richard did not speak, and directly received the magic key.
　　 The Hanged Man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the other party's cooperation.
After all, the two are equal partners~EbookFREE.me~ If the other party has that kind of suspicious or greedy character, he has no choice but to do everything he can when he can’t find a more suitable helper. Scalp to persuade the other party, or transfer part of the benefits, this is something he does not want to see.
　　 Rasputin is a legendary wizard with status and strength. The most important thing is that he is also a member of Steppenwolf, which is an advantage that others cannot replace.
　　 While the Hanged Man was thinking this way, he heard the other person speak for the first time--
　　 "Then, it's time to discuss the payment for the two things just now?"
　　 This is the second time Richard said this today.
　　 The Hanged Man was taken aback.
　　 "Cooperation belongs to cooperation, and entrustment is entrustment. If I want to do anything, I naturally have to pay the corresponding compensation. The only criterion for equal exchange of business time and communication, can you recognize it?"
　　……
　　 The old wizard only felt that his lips were bitter, and he thought the other party was generous, it seemed just an illusion. But the Hanged Man finally nodded.
"What do you need? Explain in advance that I have just awakened, and it has not been more than a year. Most of the items I kept have been looted or destroyed. The remaining resources need to be used to prepare the magic tower falling plan. not at all......"
　　 This old guy is really difficult to deal with. As the so-called "people are old and good", Richard thought to himself, this stingy talk is too quick. Wouldn't you have been guarding this hand long ago?
　　 But he won't just give up. In order to save his life, he will do everything he can to make use of all people or things that can be used. "Goose plucking hair" is his style.
　　 Richard licked his slightly dry lips.
　　 It's hard to see a legendary wizard outside the magic tower. How can this wool not be used?
