When Ilsa, who was standing in the corridor, heard Gu Shi's voice, she realized that someone was coming.
Looking at Gu Shi standing not far away, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about something. The current situation is indeed not good. I just received news that the teleportation tower in the city was attacked by unknown persons and the teleportation array was destroyed."
"What!?" Gu Shi exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that the activation of the protective array was due to a problem with the transmission tower.
Then he immediately realized that the current situation was unfavorable. "Aren't we trapped in Langari?"
Ilsa sighed, "Yes, although there are other ways to leave, since the enemy has chosen to destroy the teleportation array, they will definitely set up ambushes on other roads and wait for someone to fall into their trap.
Some people have already left the city to investigate, hoping to catch the enemy on their tail."
Gu Shi then asked about the situation of the teleportation array, "How bad is the damage to the teleportation array? Can it be repaired?"
Of course it would be best if the teleportation array could be restored.
Ilsa shook her head and said regretfully, "I'm afraid it can't be repaired for a while. The transmission tower was completely damaged. The entire building collapsed, and many people were killed or injured.
Furthermore, there are no mages or alchemists in Langari City capable of repairing the teleportation array."
This is a difficult situation.
Once the teleportation array was destroyed, their entry and exit were restricted, and it was difficult for support personnel and supplies to enter the city.
There are still many residents who have come to seek refuge in the city of Langari. It is unknown how long the existing supplies in the city can sustain their consumption. If the enemy chooses to fight a protracted war, it is not impossible to trap them to death in the city.
Thinking of this, Gu Shi hurriedly asked, "Are there sufficient supplies and manpower reserves in the city? If we are besieged, how long can we hold out?"
"There's no need to worry about this. After receiving the news, the city lord immediately sent a distress signal. We already have some reinforcements in the city, and their combat effectiveness is not low.
As for supplies, Langari still has sufficient reserves. The city lord also said that he sent people to other cities to purchase supplies in the past two days, but I don’t know if these people have returned.
This was the only good news Ilsa knew.
However, if there is no way to find the lich's life box, these manpower and supplies will be nothing.
After all, as long as the life box cannot be found, the lich will not die. As long as the lich does not die, he can summon undead continuously and fight a protracted war with the lich, which they simply cannot afford.
The undead are just so unreasonable.
After saying this, she added with deep worry, "More importantly, the destruction of the teleportation tower means there are still undercover agents lurking in the city. With the enemy hidden and us in the open, it will be much easier for them to break into the city with the help of internal and external forces."
Gu Shi: "Have the people who destroyed the teleportation tower been caught? Perhaps we can get some information from them."
Ilsa had naturally thought about this, but unfortunately this method didn’t work, “Those people are dead.
According to those who survived, they attacked the teleportation tower by self-detonation, and the power of the self-detonation was quite large. As an important facility, the teleportation tower was protected by multiple spells, but it was still blown down by them.
After the explosion, the flesh and blood of these people turned into smoke and dissipated into the air, leaving no trace of them in the ruins.
Gu Shi imagined the scene. "It sounds like those who attacked the teleportation tower don't look like humans."
Ilsa replied, "That's indeed a possibility. Some speculate it could be a manufactured alchemical product, while others say it belongs to a rare species. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that it could be a manipulated human.
After all, before they launched their attack, no one realized they were abnormal; they looked exactly like normal people.”
Hearing this, Gu Shi pursed his lips. It was the first time he was so close to such a vicious attack. When he thought that those who blew themselves up might be humans who were manipulated, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, those were living lives.
But that was all. After all, they had never met each other before, and it was impossible for Gu Shi to have any deep feelings for them. He was more concerned about his own safety.
Seeing that Gu Shi didn't know what he was thinking, Ilsa changed the subject: "Okay, don't think too much, these things are not what you should be thinking about now.
As your mentor, since I was the one who brought you out of the academy, I will be responsible for sending you back safely. You just need to be obedient.
Don't go out casually for the next two days. The city is not safe either. It's better to stay in the church. Don't forget that the curse on you has not been lifted yet, so you can't use magic."
Gu Shi responded obediently: "I understand, Teacher Ilsa, I won't run around."
Putting aside the issue of the curse, based on Gu Shi’s current strength, even if a fight really broke out, he could only be cannon fodder.
Elsa nodded in satisfaction at Gu Shi's obedient attitude, "If you're bored, you can also talk to other people. I know you may not be familiar with them, but isn't this a good opportunity to meet new friends?
Well, I have to go now, see you later."
Ilsa patted Gu Shi's shoulder and turned away.
Watching her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Gu Shi returned to the room.
He could do nothing now and could only pray silently in his heart that the situation would not develop into the worst case scenario.
Although Gu Shi could teleport back to school directly through the teleportation stone in his hand, some things are better not to happen.
Gu Shi, who was staying in the room with nothing to do, took out a book from the space that he had put in there at some unknown time and started reading.
Speaking of which, there should be quite a few books in the church. I'll ask if I can borrow them next time. Since I can't practice, it's a good idea to take the opportunity to broaden my horizons.
Gu Shi read for a while when he heard someone calling him outside the door.
"Gu Shi, are you back?" Marshall shouted outside while knocking on the door.
Gu Shi opened the door. "What's going on, mentor?"
Marshall explained, "It's good that we're back. A priest will come over to cast a spell for us later. He said it's a necessary process to remove the curse, and it will take three consecutive days.
I just came to see if you're back, and to tell you not to leave after this, so the pastor won't be able to find you when he comes."
Gu Shi nodded to show that he understood.
