Chapter 262: The Mages’ Tower
After our group was let inside the tower, we were surprised to see plenty of mages walking around with large tomes in their hands.
Some of them were practicing inoffensive magic spells on one side, others were enthralled in whatever they were reading, and some just hastily walked around to their destinations.
The Mages Tower was the place where people who graduated from the academy would go if they wanted to keep improving their skills.
Of course, if someone who didn’t go to the academy showed up and still proved they had a high level of magic knowledge, they would also be allowed in.
It was the place where the "basic spell list" was created, which was the one I saw when I first arrived in this world that was written in Phelena’s tutorial book.
In other words, these guys made the rules when it came to magic.
Nessa told us that none of the devils were sent to conquer Balinesia since they knew it would be difficult with so many mages taking care of it, so we could at least not think about them suddenly attacking us.
I told Nessa that it was important for her to keep hiding her demonic energy until the day of the assembly, as pretty much everyone in that tower would be able to sense her in an instant.
My plan was to showcase Nessa’s power and introduce her as our devil ally during the meeting. It would be risky, but I thought it was the right thing to do.
The worst that could happen was that we would have to fight everyone in the tower. Still, that could have awful repercussions for the future of this world.
Nessa had invaluable information about the devils’ plans, and if the mages were as smart as they thought they were, they would see the benefits of having her on our side.
