Chapter 173: Missing Frankie, Disappearing Crest

Chapter 173: Missing Frankie, Disappearing Crest

"Franky didn't come back?!"

"He is a top holy magician. Did he fight with the Abyss Lord and fall?"

"It's possible. He and Brady Xingyue are both from the Empire. This makes things difficult."

The higher-ups of the Magic Tower were in a dilemma again. They had finally seen everyone return safely, but among the missing people there happened to be two people from the Empire, and both of them had high status.

Although the Magic Tower was not afraid of the imperial forces, it still had to explain the deaths of these two important figures to the empire and even demand compensation.

Of course, to the Magic Tower, everyone's life is equal, but if these two people die in the assessment, it will bring more trouble.

It will take a long time to repair the time mirror, so the most urgent thing is to find out what happened from those who have returned safely.

"Call Lin... Jin Baili over. She's not missing too, is she?" Brooke Dani originally wanted to ask Lin Feng to come up, but thinking of the other party's identity, it might be inconvenient for him to appear here, so he changed to Jin Baili.

Jin Baili ranked first in the first round of assessment, and showed enough strength to crack the magic circle in the second round. She also has enough reputation in the Star-Moon Empire, so it was most appropriate to call her in for questioning.

"Jin Baili is here, I'll be there right away!"

"Call Simon Peake too!"

"Yes!"

ten minutes later.

Jin Baili's figure has appeared at the door of the conference room.

Although she was already famous throughout the Star-Moon Empire and had been invited to the Magic Tower more than once, she still felt a little nervous when she learned that she would be questioned by the top leaders of the Magic Tower.

In this trial, she relied on using magic circles to attack the abyss army on the last day and earned more than 6 million points, ranking second individually.

Could this be the reason why the top leaders of the magic tower summoned me?

But why not call Lin Fenglai?

At this moment, Jin Baili was still thinking about the heroic figure on the Nether Island. It was he who turned the tide and saved everyone.

"Master Jin Baili, we finally meet!" Jin Baili was still daydreaming when someone in the conference room greeted her.

"Jin Baili greets all the masters of the magic tower!" Jin Baili looked inside and was immediately shocked by the aura of the high-ranking people. She took a small step back and even her breathing slowed down.

Among these people, some are top magicians who are famous throughout the continent, some are legendary magicians who are only heard of but never seen, and there are also various unknown but important figures.

At this moment, they were standing right in front of her. Although she had some status, she was nothing compared to these giants in the magic world.

Moreover, after this assessment, she has deeply understood her own shortcomings. Her previous pride was all caused by being praised by various forces. In fact, there is always someone better than you.

"Simon Peake, captain of the S2 Legion, is here to report!" As soon as Jin Baili came in, Simon Peake appeared at the door.

At this moment, his face showed some fatigue, but his eyes were bright, especially when he saw Yaheng standing in the conference room, his eyes were a little red.

In that time and space, the scene in which Yaheng finally blew himself up and sacrificed himself touched all the magicians who saw it.

Especially as an old subordinate of Yaheng, who had experienced two battles of Nether Island, but died in such a heroic way in the latter battle, it was hard not to be moved.

He almost didn't come back.

"Simon, you're finally back!" Yaheng rushed to the door and gave Simon a big hug.

Before, when Brook Dani came and sent someone to ask for a puppeteer, he lent out his best squadron leader without hesitation, but it almost caused Simon to be unable to come back. Seeing Simon at this moment, it felt like a lifetime ago.

"Commander, it's so good to see you alive!" Simon said with tears in his eyes.

“??? What are you talking about?” Question marks appeared in Yaheng’s mind.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials of the magic tower had surrounded Kimberly and Simon Peake.

This made both of them feel a little nervous and awkward, and they didn't know where to look.

"Captain Simon, Master Jin Baili, I am Jed Douglas, the current master of the Magic Tower." At this time, Master Jed spoke.

"Greetings, Tower Master!" Simon and Kimberly said in unison.

Although Simon was from the Magic Tower, he had only seen the tower master a few times. Kim Bailey was even more so. She had only heard of the name of the tower master but didn't know what he looked like.

Being called by the tower master at this time, I felt a little nervous.

"Do you two know why I invited you here?"

"Know.

"do not know."

Simon and Kimberly spoke at the same time, and their two opposite answers made the two stare at each other.

Simon immediately responded: "You'd better ask me. She may not understand what happened. She doesn't know that it was in the past."

Jin Baili was confused. What past time and space? Wasn't it a test? In the end, she won and the test was over.

"There is a crack in the time mirror. We want to know what happened after the third day. We must explain it in detail." said the tower master.

Simon nodded: "On the third day, the Abyss Army launched the first wave of attacks against us..."

Over the next hour, Simon told everyone exactly what had happened in the previous assessment.

Everyone's expressions changed again and again. Even Jin Baili, who was standing by, realized that this test was not what she had experienced.

It turns out that such a big variable has occurred. Thousands of people, including her, are very likely to stay in that time and space forever.

"I have heard of the name Crest. He was a general under the Demon King Azeri. But he disappeared later. It turned out that he used the Corpse God Technique to advance to the god level." Murphy Jenny said, "This Lin Feng actually defeated him with dragon magic. It seems that he has a close relationship with the fire dragon that appeared in Shadow Moon City."

"If Lin Feng hadn't used dragon magic to kill Crest this time, the consequences would be disastrous. I suggest that he don't have to participate in the next assessment. Just ask him which organization of the Magic Tower he wants to join and let him choose. What do you think, Matic?" said the Tower Master Jed, turning to Matic Bolt.

Matic Bolt had wanted to face Lin Feng in person in the third round of assessment, but he had to admit that everything Lin Feng did in the second round of trials had deeply shocked him. Compared with saving nearly 10,000 people, that personal grudge was not worth mentioning at all.

"I have no objection," said Matic.

Tower Master Geed nodded and looked at Jenny Murphy. "Don't spread the news about the Great Prince of the Star-Moon Empire and Mr. Franky. Jenny, you go to the Caesar Empire and I'll go to the Star-Moon Empire to talk to the two emperors."

"Is it necessary?" Jenny Murphy sneered. "Trial assessments are inherently dangerous. If you sign up to participate, you must bear the consequences. You and I both know the intentions of the two empires in sending people to participate in the Magic Tower assessment. Is it necessary to come and explain in person?"

Compared to Jenny Murphy's strong character, Jed thought a little more: "It is precisely because of this that we have to consider their ideas. In the future, the Magic Tower patrol team will frequently go in and out of the three empires. If this matter is not handled well, the relationship between the three empires and the Magic Tower may become bad."

"Okay, okay, you're the tower master." Jenny Murphy was obviously still a little unhappy, but in front of so many people, she finally did not offend the tower master.

Tower Master Geed turned to Brook Dani and said, "Count the other five missing persons and do a good job of post-mortem work. Let the magicians who participated in the assessment rest for three days before the third round of assessment."

"Understood, Tower Master!"

"Also, call Lin Feng to my office. I'll be waiting for him there."

……

at this time.

In the north of Wild Wheat Field, within the territory of the Windfury Empire, at the foot of an iceberg that is rarely visited by humans.

Three figures emerged from the black fog, two men and one woman.

If Lin Feng were here, he would find that the person standing in the middle with his eyes closed and shrouded in a dark cage was James French, whom he had been looking for for several days.

On Franky's right, there is a familiar face, it is Gunara, the dark magician in Sunset Town.

"Gunara, what happened? Why did the Abyss Lord suddenly wake up?" Walking on Franky's left was a male magician, who looked confused at the moment.

"I don't know if that idiot Brady Xingyue did something to cause the Abyss Lord Crest to suddenly wake up. Fortunately, I escaped fast enough, otherwise I might have died in there." Gunara said with lingering fear.

"Did you get what you were looking for?" the male magician asked again.

Gunara took out a purple-black pendant and said, "It's good that my efforts were not in vain. With it, I can sneak into the territories of other demon kings. I'll keep it for now."

"It's all the same, but I think you still have time to go back now. Your points are enough for you to advance to the third round of assessment. If you pass the final assessment, you will be able to meet Ryan Wood, and someone will arrange it for you." said the male magician.

"Can you make it?"

"It's still in time. Take Frankie back. I can do it alone. You should..."

At this moment, Franky, who was trapped in the dark cage, woke up.

The two immediately ended their conversation.

"Mr. Franky, I'm sorry to have troubled you along the way. We will be there soon." The male magician changed the subject and said to Franky who slowly opened his eyes.

Franky heard the voice and gradually regained consciousness. Looking at the two people on his left and right, he quickly searched through his previous memories.

Three days ago, when he just entered the second round of assessment, he met this male magician next to him.

This male magician was extremely powerful, far superior to him. He killed his teammate in just one encounter and trapped him for three whole days using dark magic.

As a result, he lost contact with the outside world and was unable to get any help from anyone.

He knew nothing about what had happened in the past three days, and it was only now that he heard the other party's voice for the first time.

He looked around and saw the ice and snow. It was obviously not the Nether Island in the abyss.

"Who are you?" Franky was a man who had seen the world, and he knew clearly that the other party's strength was far superior to his own, but the other party did not harm him, which meant that his life was not in danger for the time being.

"Have you heard of the Black Tide, sir?" said the male magician.

"Of course I have heard of it. It is the same organization as the Black Rose of the Caesar Empire. Who employs you?"

Franky couldn't understand why someone would hire Black Tide to attack him, right under the nose of the Magic Tower.

"Once Mr. Franky arrives, you will understand. Please rest assured, this is just an invitation. We will naturally send you to the Caesar Empire after the matter is accomplished." said the male magician.

"Did you sneak into the magic tower for the assessment just to catch me?" Franky looked at the female magician next to him. He felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her in the palace before the second round of assessment.

The male magician did not answer Franky, but looked at Gunara: "You go first, leave this to me."

Gunara nodded, turned around, stepped into the black vortex, and disappeared.

"Mr. French, Mr. Winterbourne Hill wants to see you."

The male magician bowed slightly and tapped the dark cage with his wand to dissipate the magic.

But at this moment, Franky was stunned.

……

1 days later.

abyss.

Nether Island.

The S2 Legion and the S3 Legion are gathered here at this time, and there are many magicians whose faces have never appeared in the current Magic Tower meeting waiting nearby. Each of them has a strong aura, making it difficult to tell their true strength.

After the examinees returned to reality and gathered everyone's information, the Magic Tower determined the location of the Abyss Demon Lord Crest in reality.

After digging a hundred feet underground, they found a metal block the size of a room.

There were densely packed black runes engraved on the metal block, and a dangerous aura emanated from it.

"Captain, shall we start?" A group of magic circle masters surrounded the metal block and asked for instructions.

Yaheng nodded: "The boss of the Magic Tower is here, even if he is a god-level demon king, he can't make any waves."

With the command, the masters of the magic circle began to break the seals on the metal blocks. In less than 10 minutes, all the seals were removed.

During the trial and assessment, Crest woke up from the seal of the Corpse God Technique ahead of schedule and almost killed everyone.

But in real time and space, Crest has not made any movement, so when everyone learned that his true body was about to appear, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, this time they were fully prepared, and even invited the elders of the magic tower who had conquered the other world to help.

Craster must be a bird in a cage, unable to escape.

As the metal block separated from top to bottom, the contents inside gradually appeared before our eyes.

All the major legions were on full alert, but when the metal block was fully opened, everyone's eyes trembled.

Because it was empty inside!

At this moment, something strange happened!

A ball of purple mist suddenly emerged and formed a demon face with goat horns.

Several Magic Tower bosses recognized each other at the same time and said in unison: "Demon Lord Azeri!"

The Abyss Lord Azeri laughed wildly: "The Abyss Lord has awakened, and the disaster of destruction will befall your magical continent! Humans, see you later!"

After saying that, the purple mist dissipated, and the face of the Demon King Azeri also disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other!
