Chapter 39 Agreement!
Soren fell silent upon hearing this.
If we were to talk about what is most valuable for a wizard tower, without a doubt, it would be the Tower Spirit!
The Tower Spirit itself possesses legendary combat power and also serves as a top-tier assistant with supercomputer-like functions. For an Archmage, the assistance of the Tower Spirit can greatly enhance efficiency in regular experiments. If Soren were to let these Tower Spirits go, the value of the entire Arcane Tower would be reduced by at least half. Such a loss would mean he only obtained an empty shell, and the internal core he would still need to acquire slowly on his own.
However!
If Soren does not agree to this request, then the only option left would probably be to fight.
Regardless of victory or defeat.
If battle breaks out, Soren’s losses would also be substantial; every casualty is something he does not wish to see. Moreover, looking at the stance of these Tower Spirits, if a fight occurs, they could very well swear to protect until the last moment. Even if Soren were to win, he would only obtain the shells of five Tower Spirits, which, while beneficial for future research, is no better than the dormant combat-type Tower Spirit he obtained on the fourth floor. Furthermore, the demigod Tower Spirit in the Chess Half-Plane can never leave.
“True God, Your Excellency!”
“I wonder what you think of our proposal?”
The leading Tower Spirit No. 1 seemed a bit nervous, as this was related to their fate for thousands of years; they could only gain rebirth by going to the “Clockwork Nirvana of the Mechanical Mirror.”
For this is a special and dangerous planar space.
As a type of advanced Construct Life, they could undergo a transformation upon reaching this plane, and may even become a real life form in the future.
Soren was deep in thought.
The expressions of the others also seemed hesitant, as most of them understood the value of the Tower Spirits.
“I agree!”
Soren did not hesitate for too long and said gravely, “I can grant you freedom. However, once you gain freedom, you must do one thing for me.”
Tower Spirit No. 1’s face showed a hint of surprise, then hesitated, “What is that?”
Soren fixed his gaze on him and said slowly, “It’s not something particularly difficult. It can be discussed after you go to the ‘Clockwork Nirvana of the Mechanical Mirror.'”
“I’m very interested in this plane.”
“Perhaps there will be places where I need your assistance at that time.”
As if understanding something.
Gloria and the Fallen Witch’s eyes suddenly brightened, and their gazes towards Soren changed slightly, seemingly filled with a hint of admiration.
“No problem.”
Tower Spirit No. 1 immediately nodded; as long as they could gain freedom first, they could discuss the rest later. He said earnestly, “As long as Your Excellency is willing to give us freedom, then you are our benefactor.”
“If there is a need for us, we will certainly do our utmost!”
Soren smiled, seemingly quite pleased with this.
“Then.”
Tower Spirit No. 1 paused slightly and said, “Please, Your Excellency, swear in the name of the True God! It’s not that we don’t trust you, but this is about our fate.”
Without any hesitation, Soren swore directly in the name of the God of Half-Elves and Wanderers.
The five Tower Spirits also swore in the name of the Elemental Giant Spirit.
“Please.”
“True God, Your Excellency! This is the core of the operation of the Arcane Tower!”
With the True God’s oath as a guarantee, Tower Spirit No. 1 relaxed significantly. Slightly moving aside, they saw a sphere of energy appearing out of nowhere, containing an incredibly vast spell circuit and energy nodes, which looked as if countless numbers formed a sphere. This was an alchemical technology far surpassing the current era, resembling the core control system projection of a space fortress from the interstellar age.
Tower Spirit No. 1 explained, “As long as you input energy, you can gain the highest authority over the Arcane Tower.”
“I have lifted the restrictions on the Arcane Tower.”
A peculiar light sphere floated in mid-air, giving off a sense of science fiction.
The High Priest nodded slightly.
She understood the Arcane Tower, as she had once collaborated to ambush the Spider Queen; the one responsible for the assassination was a figure from the era of the Arcane Empire, and she had seen the core of the Arcane Tower.
Confirming that everything was fine.
Soren then turned his gaze to Gloria beside him. From the most suitable angle, Gloria should be the best candidate to control the Arcane Tower.
For she herself is a Legendary Witch. Moreover, she is incredibly knowledgeable.
However.
At that moment, facing Soren’s gaze, Gloria smiled and shook her head, indicating for him to personally acquire the highest authority over the Arcane Tower.
It wasn’t that she did not desire to obtain a wizard tower, but she believed that it was best for Soren to hold the highest authority.
A gentle, virtuous, and intelligent woman.
Soren’s gaze softened significantly. The look he held for Gloria also contained a hint of affection; he did not push back again but directly input energy to gain the highest authority of the Arcane Tower.
In an instant!
A dense stream of data floated before Soren’s eyes.
Similar to the slaughter template he possessed, but this time instead of numbers, countless energy nodes and spell circuits were revealed.
Following this, a model of the wizard tower appeared in Soren’s mind.
“Grant Gloria level one authority.”
“Grant Corinna level one authority.”
“Grant the High Priest level two authority.”
“Grant Alice level two authority.”
“Grant Saruman level three access.”
Soren soon finished allocating permissions in his mind, followed by the models of the Element Pool, Maze, and half-plane floating in his mind; he had obtained all permissions for the Arcane Tower.
Tower Spirit No. 1 watched him nervously.
Soren knew that he had organized the entire structure of the Arcane Tower; he looked at the still nervous Tower Spirit No. 1 and slowly said, “Lift the Tower Spirit’s permissions!”
“Release Tower Spirits 1, 2, 4, 5, 7!…”
A strange glow appeared.
Then, the five Tower Spirits before him were covered in complex and mysterious runes, and the Arcane Tower’s restrictions on them were lifted.
They gained their freedom.
“Thank you, Your Excellency!”
“From now on, everything concerning the Arcane Tower will be under your control!”
Tower Spirit No. 1’s voice trembled a bit; immediately after lifting the restrictions, they opened a portal and said, “We are heading to the ‘Clockwork Nirvana of the Mechanical Mirror’ now.”
“I will leave the next spell marker; if you need any assistance, you can contact us at any time.”
As if fearing Soren would have second thoughts.
These Tower Spirits swiftly entered the portal, eager to leave the place that had trapped them for thousands of years.
