"I won't argue with you. Because it's also a useless emotion." Tarling's voice was always unhurried.
Xiao Chen suddenly felt that this voice was a bit annoying, even a bit annoying, and he said, "Do you realize that humans are emotional animals?"
"Of course. I am very clear about this, especially after I gained higher rationality, and I often sigh about this. If humans can reduce these useless emotions and become more efficient, perhaps the outcome of the God-killing War would not be like this." said Ta Ling.
"Maybe you should think differently."
"What?"
"It makes me happy, and I'm super productive then."
"Well, alright. I want to see what's inside the Spirit Tower, and you'll be happy."
The gate of the White Tower was not pure white as Xiao Chen had imagined, but a futuristic silver-grey. There was a hall at the entrance, with a reception desk in the front, and tables and chairs scattered around the hall. In the middle of the room, there was a circular pipe standing in the middle of the house, with a door underneath that looked like an elevator. Xiao Chen felt like he had entered a high-tech company building instead of a magic tower.
"The design of the Spirit Tower was decided by me, so it naturally has an Earth style. At that time, I preferred this futuristic industrial style design. Of course, it doesn't matter whether I like it or not now. But it is indeed a simple and efficient style." Tower Spirit introduced.
"If your tone wasn't so cold and flat, you wouldn't speak like an artificial intelligence. I think Adriana's judgment is still wrong." Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe it's because she will always miss the great-grandfather who held her in his arms and laughed." Ta Ling said coldly.
"Tell me, what can we find in this tower?" Xiao Chen said.
A light screen appeared in front of Xiao Chen, with a floor plan of the black and white towers on it. He found that the black tower and the white tower each had 100 floors. The lower floors were mainly public buildings, such as crystal energy factories, conference rooms, libraries, guard barracks, training grounds, teleportation rooms, magic plant plantations, magic beast breeding grounds, ordinary warehouses, ordinary laboratories, soul storage rooms and other facilities. The middle was the area where the mages lived. In addition to housing, there were also restaurants, shops, theaters, bathrooms and other entertainment facilities. The 80th floor was a special laboratory, where high-level mages did their research projects, and the 90th floor had a sky bridge connecting the two towers. Above the sky bridge was the area where the saints lived, as well as the corresponding holy library, private laboratories, treasure houses and other facilities. The top few floors were the control center where the tower spirits were located, the shield generator, the armed control room and other rooms.
The black and white towers are a symmetrical replica, except that the library and laboratory in the middle of the white tower are mainly used to study the art of life, while the same facilities in the middle of the black tower are used to study the art of death.
Just look at the names of the special laboratories in the White Tower and the Black Tower. The White Tower has the "Limb Regeneration Laboratory", "Soul Repair Laboratory", and "Resurrection Plan Laboratory", while the Black Tower has the "Dead Soul Reunion Project", "Plague Research Institute", "Soul Stripping Laboratory" and so on.
"Two completely opposite forces are actually combined together like this." Luo Ling said.
"Your feeling is correct. The Spirit Tower is originally composed of two magic towers merged together. One of them is the Tower of the Living, and the other is the Tower of the Dead. The Tower of the Living inherits the law of life, including various spells of treatment, recovery, regeneration, and even resurrection. The Tower of the Dead studies the spells of controlling souls, creating undead, and depriving life. It's just that the research objects of the two magic towers involve souls, which is their common point. The bridge between the black and white towers is called the Soul Trial Bridge, which means that the human soul is connected to life and death. Its function is to use positive energy to strengthen and train the soul. Whether it is the soul of the living or the dead, as long as it passes through there, it can become more stable and powerful.
When I first traveled through time, I had the opportunity to study magic in the Tower of Life and the Tower of the Dead. I found that studying the magic of life and death at the same time would benefit both types of magic. So I spent more than fifty years combining these two originally opposing magic towers into the Tower of the Spirit. Later, every wizard in the Tower of the Spirit was required to study the magic of life and death at the same time, and they would practice in the White Tower and the Black Tower in turn. After reaching the intermediate level, most people will choose to specialize in one direction. "
"It can be seen that you are very proud of your past." Although Ta Ling's tone remained calm, Xiao Chen could still hear a hint of pride.
"I am just stating the history," said the tower spirit. "Almost all the crystals, holy artifacts, and powerful ghosts in the Spirit Tower have been taken away by the wizards to participate in the God-killing War. There are three things that may be of the greatest help to you. The first is the tens of thousands of magic books left in the two libraries, the second is the experimental logs left in the various laboratories. The last is a heritage room in the treasure room, which contains several holy-level magic heritages."
Xiao Chen and his companions, under the guidance of the tower spirit, arrived at the magic elevator in the middle of the Spirit Tower. They did not have time to check every floor one by one, so they planned to select a few typical floors for a visit. Everything in the Spirit Tower seemed to be in good order, and it seemed that the mages had made full preparations before evacuating.
It's just that everything seems a little bleak.
"It's the lack of energy that's causing it."
The first place that Tower Spirit took them to was the magic crystal warehouse. Xiao Chen saw rows of floor-to-ceiling shelves in the warehouse, with countless small grids on them like a honeycomb, but the first rows of grids were empty. Only after walking past four-fifths of the shelves did the grids begin to be filled with crystals.
"Less than one-fifth of the reserves in the magic crystal warehouse are left." The tower spirit said: "Even if I shrink into a crystal, to maintain my existence and the basic operation of the internal components of the Spirit Tower, I still have to consume magic crystals. After thousands of years, there are not many stocks left. So now the Spirit Tower is operating at the lowest energy consumption."
"That is to say, if we want to operate the functions of the Spirit Tower, we must replenish a large amount of crystals?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, especially when it is weaponized, the crystal reserve needs to be increased to the limit. When the power of the Spirit Tower is fully activated, the energy consumption is thousands of times that of normal operation." (To be continued)
