On the Seven Towers

Near the house of Manager Hall, Glade stood up from the ground. An exquisite magic array has begun to take effect. This magic array is not a method of the Spirit Tower, but a magic isolation array of the Forging Tower.

If you say which magic tower is best at arrays among the seven towers except the Talisman Tower, it is undoubtedly the Forging Tower. Many magic arrays are engraved on both magic props and golems. The magic isolation array was originally a magic array used by the Forging Tower to prevent the magic inside and outside the array from disturbing each other during enchantment. It can not only prevent the external magic from interfering with the enchantment, but also prevent the magic fluctuations generated by the enchantment from disturbing the surroundings.

But now Glade uses it here, but it has the effect of blocking the space. Although this magic array does not cut off the flow of magic, it can destroy the magic surge during the space magic transmission. It may not have much effect on the great magician, but it can cause the magic of the middle and low-level magicians to be severely disturbed during the transmission, cutting off the possibility of the puppeteer to escape by transmission.

The group came to the door of Hall's house, and Janola knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a very young maid, who was surprised that such a group of people would visit at night.

"I am Janola, and I am here to see Steward Hall."

"Shouldn't the guard bring you here? Steward...he...would you please wait a moment, I will go and inform him." The maid seemed to be a newly hired slave, with little experience and a little overwhelmed.

Kalanda took the opportunity to say: "You let us wait at the door like this, and don't invite us in. When the steward finds out, he will definitely blame you."

"Ah? Really?" The maid hesitated.

"Of course, don't you know that a maid was whipped to death by Steward Hall because she didn't entertain guests well?" Ji Yijun said on the side, adding fuel to the fire.

The maid covered her mouth in surprise and hurriedly led everyone in.

When everyone was seated, Kalanda asked casually, "I heard that the puppet master also lives here?"

"Yes, he lives on the third floor." The maid waited for them to sit down in the living room, saluted and said, "Then please wait a moment, I will go to inform Lord Hall."

After the maid turned around and left, Kalanda winked at Ji Yijun, and Mareno, Crete and Doris stood up and quietly followed the maid. The three of them were responsible for dealing with the ordinary person, Steward Hall. Kalanda, Glade and Ji Yijun went to the third floor to capture the puppet master.

The three of them went upstairs and subdued three or four maids silently. Finally, they came to the door of the bedroom on the third floor. Kalanda was about to break in, but was stopped by Glade.

He gestured for them to step back, hiding in the corridor and corners, and he pushed open the door himself and walked into the room without much hesitation.

This is a simple suite. A crystal lamp is lit in the living room outside. A man in a robe is sitting at a table by the window with his back to the door. Gray light condensed in Glade's hand, and a ghost arrow shot at this person.

After the ghost arrow hit the person, there was no reaction. Instead, she jumped up and turned to rush towards Glade. At the same time, the door of the bedroom suddenly opened, and two people rushed out from inside.

These three people were girls who were similar to the maids outside. They moved quickly and rushed towards Glade with expressionless faces. Although the three people came fiercely, Glade did not retreat, but released a large-scale weakness curse, and then shot ghost arrows at them one by one.

However, this magic of weakening the body seemed to have no effect on the three people, and the negative energy of the ghost arrows was like a drop in the ocean. These puppet girls pounced on Glade one after another, and then their bodies swelled strangely, and finally exploded into black slurry.

Glade's body was almost completely dyed black, and the whole person was wrapped in black paste, screaming and collapsing on the ground.

After a while, the puppeteer rushed out of the room inside.

As a veteran killer, the puppeteer was still full of vigilance around him even though he was hired by the people here.

As soon as he came here, he asked Hall for seven maids and transformed them into puppets. He didn't even take off his robe when he went to bed, and arranged three puppets to guard the room.

When he heard that the autonomous puppet he arranged had fought with the intruder, he hurriedly got up from the bed, picked up the wand at the head of the bed, took the last four puppets, and ran out of the bedroom.

He saw a woman in ordinary villager clothes falling to the ground, her whole body dyed black by the puppet poison.

But he knew very well that this was a mid-level magician, and the weak magic used by the other party before covered the entire suite, naturally including him. This magic was used with sophisticated techniques and powerful power. He tried to resist the magic effect, but failed after one or two seconds. From this point of view, the strength of this woman is still above him.

After being hit by the magic, he felt that his physical strength was less than half of his usual strength, and his strength also decreased a lot. Even the wand in his hand became very heavy. He didn't know when he could return to normal.

He stood beside the woman who was about to faint, guessing where she came from. Logically speaking, the baron and his gang who hired him didn't need to be rude to him, but he was afraid that after killing someone, they wanted to kill him as a killer, or that they actually had some relationship with the target he killed before, and wanted to take revenge this time. There was another possibility, that she was an enemy who was tracking him, and came all the way from Arano. Did he reveal something and be discovered by those people in Arano?

No matter what the situation was, he shouldn't stay here. The puppeteer looked at the door and window. The windows here were nailed shut with thick wooden strips to prevent the women from escaping or committing suicide, leaving only gaps the size of a palm. Destroying the windows would inevitably cause a big noise and take a lot of time. But would there be an ambush when going through the door? He looked at the quiet corridor, gritted his teeth, and commanded the remaining four puppets. Two in front and two behind guarded him as he rushed out the door.

However, as soon as the puppeteer's foot stepped out of the door, he felt a wave of magic power sweeping behind him, and then the movements of the four puppets around him slowed down like rusty golems, and they fell to the ground. Then one by one, they lost contact with his thoughts, as if some force had forcibly kicked him out of their heads.

The two war puppets in front fell to the ground and fainted. And the two puppets behind him died silently with black liquid flowing out of their mouths and noses.

The puppeteer looked behind him in horror, only to see that the fallen female wizard was no longer there, only a young male wizard pointing his wand at him.
