Chapter 577: Rescuing the Naga (4)

The might of Level-9 destructive fire spell Blazing Sun was practically at the peak of mortal power. After it exploded, the huge blast spread in all directions, sweeping through the entire Ferde within seconds.
Under the light of the giant surging fireball, the entire Scorched City sank into terror and chaos. Looking down from the Mage Tower, one could see people scurrying around on the street for somewhere to hide. Link had great hearing; he could hear shocked cries from all over.
Even the Mage Tower fell into an uproar.
Many apprentices wandered like aimless flies. Faced with such a change, most people were dazed; they had no clue what to do.
In Link’s room, Evelina, Elovan, and Milose were all floored. They gaped at the burning white ball in the distance. The three High Elves couldn’t imagine that someone dared to use such a spell in Ferde. Did that person not fear for their life? Or did they not fear Ferde’s power?
Their minds were in a mess. However, some were still calm.
Link recovered immediately and ordered, “Lily, upgrade battle mode!”
In the battle mode, Lily would be given the biggest authority. She would be in charge of a range of ten miles around the Mage Tower. Within this, she would kill anything that didn’t follow the safety rules!
“Mode changed. Currently in battle mode!” Lily’s voice used to be gentle, but as the mode changed, it became cold and murderous.
Whizz, whizz, whizz. The defense matrixes in the Mage Tower cluster were all activated. Under the various dazzling flashes, a 20-centimeter-thick golden crystal shield appeared on the walls. This was a Level-11 defense spell—Crystal Enchantment. It was very sturdy.
Not only that, a thick magic door appeared before each critical entrance in the Mage Towers. The critical zones were locked and impassable.
While following these commands, Lily also sent commands to the Magicians of different levels in the Mage Tower.
“All apprentices must stay in place and keep quiet.” This was what the apprentices received.
“All official Magicians, converge on the second-floor hall… All official Magicians, converge in the second-floor hall and await further instruction.”
This was the alert for all Magicians under Level-6. The passageways were locked, but they could go through with their badges.
The message for Magicians above Level-6 was different. They were the elites of Ferde and only numbered to around 30. They were told to converge on the third floor. When they all reached the location, they saw that Magician Eliard was already waiting for them.
Eliard quickly assigned tasks. He sent a Magician to watch over each node in the Mage Tower to ensure that the tower would operate normally.
When each Magician who received their task hurried to their location, two magic puppets would follow closely for protection. These magic puppets weren’t only servants. When needed, they could be powerful Warriors equal to Nana, the first magic puppet.
On the other hand, Link gave orders to Evelina and the others. First, he looked at Evelina and said quickly and powerfully, “Eve, protect the Mage Tower’s core!”
“Uh…yes!” Evelina finally recovered.
Link turned. “Elovan, Milose, your authorities have upgraded. Go immediately to the secret room underground. Ensure that the ‘weapon’ transformation won’t be disturbed!”
The weapon was Katyusha. Link had a feeling that this crisis was for her.
“Understood!” The two High Elves turned and ran towards the underground room.
After these orders, white light flashed around him. He disappeared, and an instant later, he reached the balcony. Celine was watching Bryant there.
Even with this great and sudden change, Celine still wasn’t disturbed. After all the wars, her mind was much stronger than those High Elves. No matter what happened, she wouldn’t even blink if Link was still alright.
Right now, she still had her eyes on Bryant.
“How are things?” Link asked.
Celine’s eyes didn’t leave from the lens. Knowing that Link was here, she said, “Bryant is still in the yard. He looks normal.”
“Oh?” Link activated a Spatial Lens and saw Bryant through the distorted light. The elf was reading in his room, unaffected by the chaos outside. His movements didn’t even change. He was just reading page after page.
“I’ve been watching for a few days, and he’s always like this,” Celine says. “It looks like he’s patiently waiting for you to finish designing.”
Link watched closely but didn’t find anything strange. He couldn’t keep watching. As the lord, he had to hurry to the suburbs and take care of the explosion.
