Chapter 315: Ineffective Resurrection Tower
Wildfire Town was extrely quiet. As a town in between the Silver Province and Dawn Academy, rchant groups would often stop there and rest, so it was usually bustling in the day, never being as barren as it was now. The streets were completely empty save for Xiao Lin and Lilith. There was no one to be seen, even when they went into the inns or the shops. The strange thing was that the objects within the buildings were all still neat and tidy; no signs of a battle could be seen.
The two of them looked around in shock. They had left bright and early that day, but less than an hour later, the priest had sohow made everyone in the town disappear.
“I’m not well-versed in magic.” Lilith shook her head.
Xiao Lin sighed as well. “I’ve never heard of any spells like this. Asabanor seems to have co prepared this ti.”
The two of them were on high alert, carefully advancing toward the resurrection tower. Even though the strange atmosphere caused their hairs to stand, they did not encounter any ambushes. Asabanor had not appeared at all since the last ti, so Xiao Lin and Lilith safely reached the tower.
However, the sight in front of them caused them to suck in their breaths in shock. The resurrection tower was still there, but the originally silver tower was now ink black.
“A black resurrection tower!” Xiao Lin had never heard of one, but he could just be too inexperienced, but when he turned his head, Lilith’s green face said everything.
“Resurrection towers can’t be black; resurrection towers are always made with startal, which is silver!” Lilith said.
Xiao Lin exclaid, “Startal? You’re saying the resurrection towers are made from startal?!”
“Please, that’s common knowledge! Why else do you think this province is so important, making the other academies spy on it? I thought you knew.”
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly. He only knew that startal was a very rare ore, but no one had told him it was used to make resurrection towers. If that was the case, Asabanor’s goal was suddenly very clear.
Lilith furrowed her eyebrows. “Could that old fart be here for the ore? What use could he have for it?”
In the past century, in order to defeat the outsider from Earth, the natives had constantly thought of controlling the Silver Province to seize the startal, but the only consequence was being crushed by the collective might of the academies. Asabanor only had so necromantic magic. He might be able to control Wildfire Town, but there was no way he could control the whole province. It was also easy to anticipate that the academies had probably already assembled their troops after getting the news.
No matter how he looked at it, Asabanor had no chance of success. Trying to attack the resurrection towers by controlling startal was an impossible dream.
However, Xiao Lin once again thought back to the third monthly examination and the complete resurrection tower that the elves took, and if Yu i’s grandfather, the engineer, was taken as well.
Could Asabanor have had any contact with the elves after he escaped from The Final Lands? There were a lot of elves in New Washington!
Lilith did not know about that examination, and would naturally not think about that possibility. In truth, Dawn Academy had covered that battle up; not many people knew about the resurrection tower that had been conquered.
There was still no one even near the resurrection tower. The investigation teams from both academies were definitely not there as well, even if they had resurrected. Xiao Lin recalled that there were still other resurrection towers around the town. It was a common defensive asure to erect many towers around certain key areas, even if it wasted a great amount of resources. The resurrection towers incurred a heavy cost, even to the strongest academies.
That was not good news. It ant that the black resurrection tower in front of them had lost its abilities, which was why they had resurrected at the other ones.
They originally wanted to reunite with the investigation team before defending the area while waiting for reinforcents, but the situation was out of their expectations. It was still fine if they died now, but if they continued and left the area of the other resurrection towers, would they still be able to co back?
Xiao Lin looked at Lilith, and the woman had a rare look of consternation, but she only hesitated for a mont before waving her scythe and charging in.
Asabanor was not soone who would do anything for no reason, nor would he have emptied an entire city just as a show of force. He definitely had sothing planned. To put things simply, that old fart was definitely still in the town.
That was what Lilith’s plan was; whatever he wanted, everything would be fine if Asabanor was dead. It was the simple and effective strategy of pure violence.
However, the problem was actually locating the high priest. Lilith had a plan, which was to use necromantic ditation. That was because Asabanor’s body was definitely an undead soul, which ant they would be able to sense him.
The idea was right, but Lilith had failed many tis. Under the heavy condensation of the death clouds, it was much easier to use necromantic ditation, but the air was filled with complicated death energy, so it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Xiao Lin had a different thought: entering a state of ditation. Thanks to the dark clouds around, the elental energies were very scarce around them. He imdiately switched into necromantic ditation after that, and the ditative world was filled with grey flas, much more condensed than when he was just ditating.
After that, Xiao Lin used Miracle, and the blackhole once again appeared in that ditative world. He had actually never figured out why that strange phenonon happened, but after several experints, he had figured out the use for the blackhole.
The blackhole would frantically absorb all the elents in the vicinity, but it was not absorbed into Xiao Lin’s body. At the very least, he could not feel any energy coming into him. It was as if the energies were being eaten away by a monster.
