Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 293: New partner

Views:

Luo Ling said: "I still don't know the true face of the gods, but since I have become the inheritor of the Seven Towers, I will naturally inherit their cause. It would be my honor to become your partner."

"We are partners, not masters. No one can be our master since we came back to life." Glade emphasized.

"Of course, just like my other partners." Luo Ling pointed at Morey and Ji Yijun.

"And you still have to work hard, your strength is still too low." Glade emphasized again.

"Haha, compared to a saint, I'm still far behind. After all, I've only been learning magic for a few months."

"What! Are you talking nonsense? How is this possible? Even my father and mother took several years to reach the intermediate level." Not only Glade was shocked, but Milda also opened her mouth in shock.

"Who wants to lie to you! Not only Sister Luo Ling, but also in our place, those who haven't reached the intermediate level in a few months are all stupid." Ji Yijun said.

“I don’t know how you book spirits view the relationship between partners, but for us humans, there is no need to deceive our partners on such matters. Since we are partners, we should have enough trust. Otherwise, it would be unworthy of the word.

I know that you haven't gotten along well with many humans except for those magicians, and it's not your fault. However, just like I want to learn magic, you also have a lot to learn about how to get along with people. "Luo Ling looked at Glade with burning eyes. The latter touched his head and nodded.

At this time, Ola, who was lying on the ground, let out a light groan.

Mirdad said: "If there is such a talent, it proves that my choice is correct. Let's get started."

The two figures suddenly shrank and turned into two books floating in the air, one with a white cover dotted with silver stars, and the other with a black cover with a vortex. Then they shrank again and turned into two earrings, one black and one white, and flew into Luo Ling's hands together.

Luo Ling put them on her ears, and immediately a piece of information flooded into her consciousness.

The Secret Index is a very peculiar holy book. It cannot bring any direct improvement to the user, but it can search and sense the spatial anomalies around. Generally, various spatial secrets are used in high-level ruins, which will allow this holy book to find them. If someone is wearing a storage ring, bracelet or space bag in a slightly closer range, it will also be discovered by it. It is simply a radar for searching for masters.

Her most powerful feature is that she can detect various small spaces close to the main world and sense the channels connecting them to the main world. Once this space that is constantly moving in the high-dimensional world is discovered, captured and bound by a powerful magician, it can become the magician's own small world or demiplane.

Its value cannot be measured by worldly things at all.

"Mirdad, it turns out you have such powerful abilities."

"But I haven't had the chance to use them yet." Milda's voice appeared directly in Luo Ling's mind.

"Stay with me, and you will!"

The most basic function of "The Magic Book of Soul-Giving" can be explained in one sentence: it can give souls to all kinds of inanimate things.

If used on a golem, it is the control hub; if used in a book, it is the book spirit; if used in a weapon, it is the weapon spirit.

The sources of these souls are varied. Extracting and simplifying them into a shape, as the dwarves did, is only the most crude way of using them. You can also use the souls of magical creatures as materials to directly create a new soul, as Milda and Glade did. The most advanced way is to use various rare magic materials without life to create and piece together a soul out of thin air. This kind of soul often shows special properties due to the different materials, and sometimes it can be extremely powerful.

In a way, this book has solved the problem of artificial intelligence that another world is pursuing. Although it cannot be copied, from an individual perspective, it has far surpassed the progress of that world.

Another function of this book is to strengthen and cultivate the soul. He can extract the soul from the object and make it stronger after processing it with various materials.

"Although my power seems strong, these functions require various magical resources. Some things were very rare before the God-killing War, and it will be even more difficult to find them now. So, you'd better not have too high expectations." Glade's voice sounded in Luo Ling's mind again.

"We call this fate. When luck arrives, you will naturally find your place." Luo Ling said, "However, I think your characteristics are not very similar to the sacred text of the Tower of Forging. Instead, they are closer to the style of the legendary Spirit Tower."

"Hmm... You are very perceptive. The 'Spirit Enchanted Book' was originally made by the Spirit Tower for the Forge Tower. In that era, collaboration between the seven towers was very common. Because they had a common goal, to destroy the gods."

"All the records I could find were vague about that era. You experienced that era yourself. Can you tell me why the magicians of the Seven Towers wanted to fight against the gods?"

Mirda and Glade were silent for a while, and finally Mirda spoke first: "As book spirits, we don't quite understand the motives of humans. However, our mother said that any creature with wisdom would not want the starry sky above to be obscured by a superior force. I once saw her looking up at the night sky on the Star Tower, and then she shed tears."

Glade said, "Our father's words are even simpler: humans are humans because they have free souls. If there is any existence that wants to deprive us of this, it is our greatest enemy. After listening to many magicians' conversations, I have come to my own conclusion, that is, humans are a kind of creature that refuses to be controlled or defeated, and they naturally feel that they want to be the masters of the world."

Luo Ling said, "I think I understand a little bit. I can understand the pride and anger of these people. We can discuss this topic slowly when we have time in the future."

"There is one more thing. When Milda and I become earrings, we are also powerful magic equipment. We can not only improve your basic qualities, but also give you some extra help." Glade added, "I can release a mental shield for you almost every day. At the same time, if your mind is damaged, I can slowly repair it. Milda can release a short-distance teleportation spell for you once a day, and can also release an exile spell to expel any summons that do not belong to this world." He paused, and finally emphasized, "But if what you do goes against our original intentions and fails to live up to our recognition, we will choose to leave."

"Sister Luo Ling? What happened? I saw you were in a daze for a long time."

"I got a lot of interesting information." She saw that Aura had stood up by herself. Although her eyes were still red, she seemed to have calmed down. "Let's go and meet up with Lao Chen and the others."
