Chapter 16: The Ominous Tower
On the map of Rogue Town.
There is a building circled in red.
It is located in the middle of the north side of the Second Ring Road.
There is a certain distance of vacuum on all sides, without any buildings.
Therefore, it appears particularly unique.
"It's a seven-story tower. It's been there since the founding of Rogue Town."
"Then what's so special about this tower? Why is there nothing else around it?"
“That tower has been abandoned for a long time. A fire broke out there a hundred years ago, and all the houses around the tower were burned to ashes.
From then on, no grass or trees grew wherever the fire spread.
There was always a pungent smell around.
People regard it as an ominous sign and try to stay away from it.
Even the garrison patrols only look from the periphery and never get close."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart moved.
"What's in the tower? Can we go in?"
"There seems to be nothing in the tower, and no one lives there."
"It's strange that no one has thought of demolishing this tower, given that it occupies such a large area and has been abandoned for so long."
"I heard from the old people in the town that the mayor wanted to tear down the tower. But the construction team members fell ill one after another when they approached the tower, so the plan was eventually abandoned."
"So mysterious?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
He originally thought that if all else failed, he might be able to escape towards the tower.
But if that area is as Owen said, then it is undoubtedly a dead end.
Close the map of Rogue Town.
He opened the map of Wolf Howling Plains again.
Howling Wolf Plains.
This is the plain where Rogue Town is located.
The source of wealth is extremely vast.
There are 36 county towns alone.
There are thousands of small towns like Rogue.
Besides.
The map also marks various monster territories in the Wolf Howling Plains, as well as dangerous places in the wild such as dimensional rifts and abysses.
This also made Lin Feng realize something.
He was in the east of the iron jungle in the land of eternal calamity.
In other words.
He was on a map in the opposite direction of Sunset Town.
It turned out that old man Thor didn't teleport him to the right direction!
This means a very serious problem -
He could not escape from the city to the west.
That is the direction of the iron jungle, the direction of walking into a trap.
If you still plan to go to Sunset Town, you must take a detour from the north or south.
Since he currently does not have a map of the entire magical world, he cannot determine which path is the right one.
If we don't go to Sunset Town, the only place we can go now is the territory of the Wood family.
exactly.
The Wood family's territory is located on the Wolf Howling Plains.
Located in the north of the town of Rogge, about 5,000 kilometers away.
In this case, the escape route will mainly be north of the town.
Lin Feng continued to observe the regional distribution north of Rogue Town.
The northern part of the Howling Wolf Plains.
There is a forest that stretches for thousands of miles, which is marked as a red-danger level Warcraft territory.
Across this forest are six county towns.
Haitang County, where the Wood family is located, is one of these six counties.
"Teacher, are you going north?"
At this time.
Owen saw Lin Feng's eyes fall on a corner of the map and asked.
"As part of the plan."
"You are wanted now, and the Wood family must be under surveillance. Isn't going north a dead end?"
Since Lin Feng was discovered to appear in Rogue Town, Lin Feng's information has been updated and posted on the streets by the white-robed priests.
All the information including his name and family were made public.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Owen to know about Lin Feng.
"Do you think I can get through this forest?"
Lin Feng did not directly answer Owen's question, but pointed to the red area.
"sure!"
"..."
Lin Feng was stunned.
He suddenly discovered that his apprentice had a blind confidence in himself!
“Do you know what the red area represents?”
"The red danger level area means there is a possibility of 9th level monsters appearing! Teacher, you are a magician, this area can't stop you!"
Lin Feng looked at Owen's starry eyes, and the corners of his eyes almost twitched.
When did he become a magician again?
"Let me ask you this in another way. Do you think that the teacher has the ability to be a magician? Do those who are chasing me think that I have this ability?"
Owen thought about it for a long time this time.
"The wanted poster says that you are a rookie magician, teacher?"
"That means people who can't do magic, right?"
Lin Feng had never seen the updated wanted poster.
"Someone who is not even a magic apprentice. It's so funny that they think you are not as good as a magic apprentice like me."
"What's so funny about this..."
"They still issued a wanted order. They don't know how powerful you are. Oh! I understand! It is precisely because they don't think you have this strength that they don't think you will go north! So the north is exactly the right choice for us!"
Lin Feng nodded.
This guy finally hits the point.
West is the direction of the steel jungle, elimination;
To the east, there is a vast sea, which is excluded;
South, the direction of Caesar's capital, which is also the direction from which support is coming, is rejected.
at the moment.
The only escape route is to the north.
The route has been determined, but Lin Feng can't make up his mind.
A gloomy mood always lingered in his heart.
His appearance implicated Leia and Xirui.
This also caused the two of them to be regarded as accomplices of evil by the church.
If he hadn't shown up, Leia and Ciri would have either been burned to death or hung in the square to die of sun, starvation, or thirst.
Lin Feng is a flesh-and-blood person, and he worked as a constable for ten years in his previous life.
He hates evil and has a sense of justice.
If we can save him, we will definitely find a way to do it.
Gradually, he turned his gaze to the magic wand and the magic book.
The brown wooden wand is long and straight, with a cloud-like color and a smooth surface without any frizz.
It's simply the boys' favorite.
In Lin Feng's opinion, this is a wooden stick of very good quality.
"How is magic released through a wand?"
Lin Feng thought to himself and tried to wave the magic wand with his right hand.
It's like swinging an ordinary wooden stick.
He had no other special feelings.
"I've never seen Langdon use this wand. It should also be in his collection."
Owen looked at Lin Feng waving his magic wand and felt a little envious.
A magic apprentice is not yet worthy of having a wand.
You need to reach the level of an apprentice magician to own the cheapest magic wand issued by the Magic Association.
He hadn't even had enough to eat in these years, so he wouldn't even consider owning a wand.
"It doesn't seem to be of any use. Here you go."
Lin Feng waved it for a while, didn't feel anything special, and threw it to Owen.
Owen immediately became excited and quickly put the wand in his arms like a treasure.
The magic wand can greatly accelerate the fusion of magic elements and enhance the power of magic.
But in the teacher's eyes, this magic wand is actually useless.
Then how powerful the teacher should be!
Just as Owen was immersed in his admiration for his teacher and the joy of obtaining a treasure, a huge wave suddenly hit him.
Under the strong impact, Owen was thrown several meters away.
The wood in the entire yard was scattered all over the ground by the turbulent current that came from nowhere.
