A strange world

"The Banquet of the Upper Class Nobles" and "The Banquet of the Lower Class Poor" roughly require two to three hundred extras.

There will be chaos when there are too many people, and mages always have their own unique ideas. You never know when a maverick mage will appear. When Annan was editing the film, he discovered several people who secretly used charm or light spells to make themselves visible in the crowd.

So Annan commissioned actors hired from the theater to train the extras, and then went out of town with Michael to meet the illusionist he hired.

Tina Wright. She used to be named Barna Sweeney, Lynne Owen, McFan Parkhurst, etc... You can tell how troublesome she is from the frequent changes in her name.

Michael said that when he was still an apprentice at the Mage Shop in Plenty City, he spent some time with Tina Wright, who was also an apprentice. Then the two people's lives took completely opposite paths - Michael because of his tenacity and talent. He was taken to Breeze City by his teacher and joined the Mage Tower. But Tina Wright, who was more talented, was kicked out because of deception.

Then this disgusting guy wandered in Pulang'enci County for more than ten years. It is said that he became a mage and left a lot of bad reputation. But Tina Wright didn't deceive Michael very much, so they got along quite happily.

This kind of person is obviously not worthy of trust, but Michael said that manipulating illusions is her specialty - this is what Annan saw after meeting her.

When this pale man with tattoos on his cheeks, purple quartz powder on his lips, and his body covered with noisy ornaments and feathers looked more like a wizard than a warlock, after seeing Annan, he used an illusion to imitate a black dragon.

This six or seven meter long black dragon standing majestically behind Tina Wright was so lifelike that even Michael almost cast a defensive spell - but Annan, who had been in contact with real dragons many times, calmly commented: It is too thick and mighty. And the stoutness is different from the beautiful streamlined dragon body of the blue dragon.

However, black dragons are known for their strength and power.

Michael and Tina Wright waved their hands: "This is the customer I introduced to you, so you should have guessed something from this mage robe and black hair."

"Dear King of the North, it's an honor to serve you." Tina Wright bowed with a clattering decoration. "I, Jupa Simon, swear by the gods to keep your secrets to the point of your sword."

"Tina, your name is Jupa Simon again now?"

Tina Wright immediately tore up the politeness she maintained and cursed like a mad woman: "Damn Michael, the hopeless pig, did you tell him my name?!"

"Annan is my friend, you can trust him."

"Will the King of the North be friends with us commoners? Oh, you are no longer a commoner." Tina Wright said sarcastically, "I don't care if you are mistresses or lovers, I have no interest in getting involved in the affairs between nobles."

"I kid you not, this is a big deal and we need you to construct some illusions."

"hope so."

"Old rule, get money after the deal is done."

"no problem."

Tina Wright's eyes with black circles fell on Annan, and she didn't even want to maintain false respect: "Boy, what do you want?"

"I need you to build a complete mage tower in Breeze City. The people in the mage tower should be real enough, and then the rat tide will wash away the mage tower like a wave, and finally break the mage tower in the middle."

Every time Annan said something to Tina Wright, her face became uglier, and finally she said to Michael with a stinking face:

"If you want to team up with outsiders to arrest me, you don't have to go to so much trouble."

"Can't do it?"

Tina Wright pointed to the mage tower in the city: "That broken tower is 300 feet high? If I could build such a thing, would it look like this?"

"This black dragon is my limit. I have been carving it for several years."

The black dragon behind Tina Wright is about ten meters long from beginning to end, and the mage tower is not that complicated. Ten days should be enough.

"Then build a 30-foot-tall mage tower in a week."

"No, but if you..."

"Do you also want to add money to our relationship?" Michael interrupted her.

"Damn it! You stupid pig!"

Tina Wright finally followed them back to the city, cursing.

In the circular square, Tina Wright looked up at the Mage Tower with pale cheeks and full of disdain: "Is it enough to show off your power? Find me a place to live."

"Wait a moment."

Annan got off the carriage and walked into the Master's Tower, and soon came back with a visitor badge. "Wearing the badge can visit the Master's Tower, but visitors can only go to the first three floors."

Tina Wright looked at the badge in silence, not knowing what she was thinking. Michael, who endured her scolding all the way, gloated:

"Are you so moved that you're going to cry?"

"I'm so touched... ugh——"

Tina Wright spat out a puddle of disgusting vomit towards Michael, "Sorry, I've been in the car for too long and I was disgusted by your words again."

Annan looked at Michael, who was covered in vomit, with pity.

Cleansing can clean the mage's robe, but it cannot clean the psychological trauma.

There is a guest dormitory in the Mage Tower, which saves Annan the trouble of finding a place for Tina Wright. After talking to her about building the mage tower, Annan went to visit Evelin again and discussed tomorrow's scene with her.

"Your mood at this time should be rebellious and determined, not shy."

"I can't do it...I'm not that strong."

"Ruth is not that strong either. She is like a puppet manipulated by her mother, sacrificing herself for the family. But after meeting Jack, she understands what freedom means. Think of yourself as Ruth..."

As night fell, Annan and Red Ghost came to the control floor to prepare for the "Lights Out of the Mage Tower" session, which was a few days in advance.

The core of the mage tower is clearly presented in front of Annan: huge colorful diamond-shaped crystals floating on an array of red copper bases.

"The blue spar controls the defense of the mage tower, the green spar controls the attack of the mage tower, and the red spar controls the light source of the mage tower." The tower spirit floating beside him introduced.

"Be careful not to touch them..."

Annan reminded the red ghost who was a little close to the red crystal.

"It can be touched." The ethereal voice said, "Nobles often visit the operation floor. The crystal can resist direct attacks below the eighth-level spell."

Annan felt a little relieved and stretched out his hand towards the rhombus crystal in front of him.

"The outside world can't do anything to the crystal -"

The halo of the tower spirit flickered and dissipated.

The floating diamond-shaped crystals lose their color and roll off the base. The power driving the operation of the Mage Tower was annihilated, and the entire Mage Tower was suddenly shrouded in deep darkness.

Annan continued to stretch out his hand in the darkness, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.

The red ghost gently pulled Annan, as if asking him to run for his life.
