Chapter 10 Bad News
"The Magic Tower is open!" Cheers spread throughout every corner of the excavation team's camp, from high-level mercenaries to temporary ordinary workers, everyone was showing their joy in their hearts.
It can be said that more than 100 people in the camp are now divided into four camps, ordinary workers, expert groups, ordinary mercenaries and high-level mercenaries. The four camps have different ideas, but everyone is the same in looking forward to the excavation to succeed as soon as possible.
"Stop cheering." Dark frowned and stopped the cheers of ordinary mercenaries from cheering happily. "Go back to work soon. If you don't participate in the excavation directly, it has nothing to do with you."
Dark certainly knew why the mercenaries were happy.
Due to Mia's trust, he was entrusted to be responsible for the security command of the entire camp. The camp was built by him with two professional scout knights from the Knights and commanding more than fifty ordinary mercenaries. It can be said that he is the commander-in-chief of ordinary mercenaries.
During this process, he had already figured out the thoughts of these mercenaries. Their employment conditions were similar to those of high-level mercenaries. They were based on one month and paid at least one month's reward, so the sooner they were finished digging, the easier it was.
Don't have to sweat profusely in bad weather, don't have to be wary of whether a bug will emerge from the soil and send me to see Shuer, don't have to be stared at by countless small and medium-sized monsters every moment, and don't have to worry about finding yourself wrapped in a spider's bag when you wake up, and you can get paid normally. What's better than this?
Dake grew up bit by bit from the grassroots low-level mercenaries. He can understand the difficulties of low-level mercenaries. He is not an inhumane person. If possible, he doesn't mind ordinary mercenaries relaxing.
Unfortunately, it is absolutely not possible.
Warcraft will not rest because of good news. It will cost you to relax casually.
"I really don't know what you are happy about. I think you can go home early, right? Are you stupid? If you want to go home early, you should be hoping to not be able to dig out things. Now that the magic tower has been dug up, it means that the meticulous work will be completed later. You will have to stay here for a long time. I'm happy, I don't even have time to cry."
Most of what Dake said was about changing the concept, but he had to continue the impetuousness and extravagance in the hearts of the mercenaries, otherwise such small details would likely lead to irreparable consequences.
"Mumbek, take care of your people, Mirasa, do you look at the camp when you keep watch? Sean, what are you doing so loudly, and where are you? Where are your positions?"
Dake is really strict, but he is the idol of almost all mercenaries, and he has a strong mercenary group as a backing. Those rebellious mercenaries were suppressed by him and did not dare to resist at all. It must be admitted that Mia is indeed a good use of people.
"Thank you." However, when passing by Shur, Mia thanked lightly. Apart from Shur, only Saff, who had the best hearing distance, heard it, and couldn't help but look at Mia with confusion, not knowing what she was thanking.
Because Sav didn't know that Dak was originally authorized by Mia to lead a team to build the camp in advance, but after a detailed discussion with Shuer one-on-one, he completely handed over the security command to him.
During this period, Mia did not fully understand many theories that Shuer said, such as the coordinated person who should understand the human heart, such as the way to use people lies in the full use of things, etc., but the facts proved that he was right. The situation was completely developed in a good direction as Shuer expected.
From the beginning to the present, although small problems and crises frequently occur, and many people are sent to Shuer every day, there has never been a real crisis, and no one dies. Although this is also related to the powerful healer Shuer, Dark's regulation is an indispensable reason.
Mia knew that if she had made a decision, she would never give up security command to Dark easily, so she felt that she had to say thank you to Shul. Although he often made some nonsense that always sounded like **, making Mia want to deduct all his rewards, but she still couldn't get away with it when she was time to thank her.
Ignoring these ordinary mercenaries who had been taught by Dark, the high-level mercenaries followed Mia closely and rushed to the excavation site. The apprentice who had just arrived to inform him was sweating profusely and trotted in front of him.
No one asked him what he found stupid words. If he could explain it clearly in one or two sentences, he would have said it long ago. Since he remained silent and chose to hurry on his way, it was obvious that the abnormalities he found were difficult to explain. Instead of asking and adding pressure to him, it would be better to go and see it yourself.
I saw it, to be precise, I felt it.
More than half of the magic tower buried deep in the ground have been dug out, and a large number of climbing frames have been set up around it. It is not appropriate to dig out, but a circular groove more than 20 meters deep around the magic tower, allowing most of the magic tower to see the light of day again.
The original tower was closed, and the mages could only vaguely sense the activity of the energy inside by only sticking to the outer wall of the tower. However, now some people have found the weakness of the building and broke through the outer wall of the tower body. The fluctuations of energy came out from the gap. Even if they were more than ten meters away, they could clearly sense the vigorous activity of the residual energy in the magic pool.
In addition to energy fluctuations, there is also light.
There is light continuously emitted in the broken gap. The light is sometimes strong and weak, and it looks full of danger.
"Everyone retreated, now, right now." Mia's movements froze. Before she could say anything, the undead mage who had always followed her had changed her face and subconsciously rushed in front of her and shouted, "Are you all a group of madmen? The balance of the magic pool has been broken and may explode at any time. Can't you even sense it? Even if ordinary people can't sense it, they should know that the energy is abnormal when they look at the light. They all want to die so much? I don't want to die yet. Now I'll get out of here, and hide as far as I can."
"It's impossible." Several scholars stayed outside. Although the necromancer named Militi could kill these ordinary people with a finger, they refused without fear. "Do you know how difficult it is to find a pioneering ruin with a magic tower? How could we give up after finally encountering an opportunity? Maybe there are valuable records and knowledge inside, and I want us to leave unless we turn us into corpses and throw them out."
"Okay, do you want to die? I will meet your requirements now. I just don't have bones. Otherwise, you will sign an agreement before your lifetime and give me the body, and I will send you to the Book of Wisdom Serarul immediately." Militi shook her red hair, her eyes as contempt as looking at a group of ants, "Do you know that all of you die here will bring immeasurable losses to the Tower of Green and even the entire academic community? How much do you hate Mia? That's why you hope to exchange your own death for her to be unable to gain a foothold in Tower of Green for the rest of her life?"
"You've said too much." Mia's face was stern, her voice unabated, "They are too..."
"Can you shut up with a flat chest? Is it your turn to interrupt me? Didn't you cry enough the night before yesterday?" The undead mage stared at Mia with oppressive eyes, just like a condescending rebuke of the superiors of the servant. "You haven't enjoyed you for dozens of hours, and you'll forget what you should do, kneel down and lick my feet."
"Puff", Shuer almost spit out his saliva. The red-haired necromancer likes to ignore everyone these days. The look of looking at people was as contemptuous as seeing a group of reptiles. It was so exciting... Cough, it was so unpleasant. The most important thing is that even people like Dark hide from her far away. Shuer naturally hid from far away. Now it seems that he is so wise. This guy looks beautiful, but he didn't expect his speech to be so exciting.
"It seems that the experience of being turned into an ice sculpture and put on the rooftop for exhibition has not yet been allowed to learn your lesson." Mia did not change any expression due to the words of the Necromancer, but her hair was windless and her fingers formed a spell seal. "It's a pity that I didn't see it last time. This time there were a lot of people. I'm going to remember it once."
"Ahem, two, two." Xiuer couldn't help it. Although it was really good to continue watching, especially Lin Jingzheng, who had played with him once, was very excited to watch, and his eyes were almost flashing, but his reason still prevailed. "We want to watch both of you performing, no, no, I mean, we are not interested, and have you forgotten something?"
Of course I forgot that there is a magic tower under my feet that may explode at any time.
"Hmph." At the same time, glared at Shuer fiercely, and the two mages turned their eyes away and stopped glaring at each other.
Hum? Why do you glar at me? I am innocent. And, I am the right one. Shouldn’t you consider this time bomb first? Why did I end up being stared at by two women together?
Because I don't know the numbers, Lord Priest, now three people are staring at you, you missed the Miss Lin Jing whose fun was taken away.
"Doer, go and pass the order, everyone will withdraw." Mia had not completely lost her mind and knew how to choose. "Whether it is the workers or ours, don't stay in it. If the magic tower really explodes, you can't stand it."
"But, Master Mia." The scholar who had just been threatened by Militi looked unwilling, "Those..."
"Everything comes out, don't worry, someone will move everything inside out." Mia glanced at Militi, who was like a mortal enemy. "If nothing unexpected happens, it's already sorting out now, right?"
"Hmph, who cares about you?" Militi turned her head and looked into the distance, "Move in by yourself."
It seems that Mia has a high status as the person in charge of this excavation operation. Even if the scholars are reluctant, they still leave the magic tower angrily after receiving Mia's orders. They look at the gray-haired old people deliberately ignore Mia while muttering and reminding Mia that she is very angry. Her performance is like a group of quarrelsome children, which makes people feel particularly funny.
However, the old scholars quickly didn't care about the trouble, because after a few minutes away from the magic tower, they saw a group of small animals made of white bones carrying various items with magic energy surged, lined up from the construction site, put down their things in front of the scholars, and turned around and ran into the magic tower again.
Now, a group of old people were happy, as if they had found some interesting toys, sitting on the ground completely regardless of their image. More than 20 people gathered in a circle, watching magical antiquities from thousands of years ago. Looking at their images, they were like a group of children sharing toys, but listening to what they talked about... OK, I basically couldn't understand.
"Hu", even Mia, who always shows no emotion, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Most of these scholars are ordinary people, so fragile that they can't say they have strength at all, but the knowledge in their minds is the most precious academic wealth. Even if they lose one person, they will feel heartbroken. This is also why Mia spent a lot of money to hire many mercenaries to protect and excavate teams. If the explosion of the magic tower really killed them, then even Mia herself would not be able to forgive herself. Fortunately, someone is still reliable, hum.
"It's a little bit wrong with flat chests." At the same time, commanding a group of undead spirits to carry things was not easy for the undead wizard. It shouldn't be distracted, but Militi seemed to have noticed something at this time and frowned and said, "I think this tower is not normal, well, it's as abnormal as you."
"Exposure craziness, if you have nonsense, say it quickly." Mia had a cold face, but she had already raised her vigilance in her heart, "What did you think of?"
"Don't you think it's very unreasonable to have energy retention in the energy pool of the magic tower? Especially since these energies are still active, it seems that they may explode at any time?"
"Nonsense, isn't what we are looking for just unreasonable things? If an unreasonable phenomenon occurs, it means that there are technology beyond our understanding as support. If it is all reasonable, why are we here? We went to the wilderness to take off our clothes**?"
"If you dare to take the opportunity to mock me again, we will see you at night." Militi snorted coldly, "It should be a degree of unreasonableness. If we are facing a magic tower that was unmaintained a thousand years ago, then I will never say anything. Advanced technology can definitely be found in it. But things from more than four thousand years ago have reached an exaggeration, unlike advanced knowledge that can be explained."
"So what?" Mia had an ominous premonition.
"So I got into the magic pool and took a look."
"You are crazy. Do you dare to approach the surroundings of the magic pool at will? Do you know that if the balance is destroyed and the explosion is really triggered, your consciousness will be destroyed and your spirit will be greatly affected? Do you want to enjoy a headache for several years? Or do you want to keep your strength at your current level for the rest of your life?"
"Well, shouldn't you worry about whether the new knowledge will be destroyed by the explosion? Is the issue she cares about a bit subtle?" Shure pressed against Suff's ears, and only two people could hear the voice.
I hate ghosts, I hate ghosts, and you secretly say bad things. Saff blushed and lowered his head and snickered. Don’t say this on purpose, so you are just an annoying ghost.
"Idiot flat-chested, I have a sense of responsibility. If there is any problem, I will escape in time." The Necromancer gave a blank look at the mortal enemy, "And, am I safe to go in?"
"What's the discovery?" Militi's chest was glaring at Militi, and then glaring again. Mia suppressed the anger in her chest.
"The good news is that the magic tower will not be destroyed by explosions. It's bad news. I guess the entire excavation site will be destroyed." Militi said leisurely, "I don't know if you have heard of a biological phenomenon called energy-type mutation."
