Chapter 27: The natives of the Tower of Trials

Views:

The Tower Plane Fragment is a pure copy plane as described.

When Jiang Qiao just entered this plane, he was greeted by a pure white tower that soared into the clouds. The tower seemed to be suspended in the sky. In front of the tower there was only a small floating land to prepare for the explorers who came to visit here.

Jiang Qiao was looking at the tall tower in front of him, wondering what kind of NPCs to place under the tower, when suddenly a strange voice came from behind him.

"Young man, which country's magician are you from?"

When Jiang Qiao heard the voice, he turned around and saw an old man dressed as a wizard standing in front of him. Behind him was another wizard dressed in the same way, except that he looked younger. They looked at Jiang Qiao with vigilance.

The Holy Spirit's system has a built-in translation function, and can translate the language of any plane or race on the star map.

After playing the game of Holy Spirit, Jiang Qiao developed a habit of using the reconnaissance technique whenever he met someone.

The reconnaissance technique is much more effective than self-introduction, so Jiang Qiao naturally threw a reconnaissance technique at the old man.

'Name: Puri, Level: 45, Occupation: Mage, Description: A native of this world.'

"NPC?" Jiang Qiao saw this short description and quickly understood where these strangers came from.

That is the indigenous people of this high tower plane fragment, or they cannot be considered indigenous people. It means that the high tower plane fragment is a derivative of a complete plane. For the residents of that complete plane, this place is equivalent to a trial place, a place to challenge illusions, or something like that.

This group of people might be the natives from that complete plane, and in Jiang Qiao's eyes they are the so-called NPCs.

"I'm a wild wizard." Jiang Qiao made up an identity casually. If possible, he would like to find out some information from these indigenous people.

"Wild Mage? Young man, judging from your attire, you must be a mage from the Dark Flame Country, right?" The old mage combed his beard with his hands and said with an expression of "I guessed it a long time ago", "The staff in your hand doesn't look like something a wild mage would have."

Sorry, the epic staff in my hand was dropped by a monster, and Jiang Qiao’s current position should be more accurately described as... a savage.

It refers to lone players who have no team or guild.

"If you say so, then so be it." Jiang Qiao didn't want to argue with this old wizard who looked like he knew everything.

"Are you here alone to challenge the Tower of Trials?" the old wizard asked again.

"Um."

Jiang Qiao did intend to test the contents of this copy first, but when Jiang Qiao said "hmm", he heard the young spellcasters behind the old wizard laughing.

"Young man, the Trial Tower is not as simple as you think. Although you will not really die if you die in the Trial Tower, your spirit will suffer a heavy blow in the real world."

Ah... Sorry, I only lost some experience when I died in the Trial Tower.

"Oh." Jiang Qiao nodded, with an expression of humility and willingness to learn. The old man was helping Jiang Qiao explain how to defeat this tower.

"With your current level of magic power, you can only challenge the first level at most, but the possibility of passing it alone is very slim." The old wizard advised earnestly again.

"What if I pass the first level?" Jiang Qiao asked innocently, now acting as a rookie. But when he said this, the young spellcasters behind the old wizard couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Give up this idea, kid... I have seen many talented geniuses who tried to challenge the first level of the Trial Tower alone when they were young, but without exception they all suffered a huge blow and failed." said the old wizard.

"Master Puri, should we not waste our time here with the Dark Flame Nation?" A young spellcaster behind him couldn't help but speak out.

Jiang Qiao threw another reconnaissance technique over.

'Name: Segman, Level: Level 32, Occupation: Mage, Description: A native resident of this world.'

"I see extraordinary talent in this young man. Your team is still missing one person, and I think he can do the job." The old wizard inexplicably began to introduce Jiang Qiao.

What talent? Does killing all the monsters inside count as equipment

Jiang Qiao was confused and didn't say anything, but he still listened quietly. The old wizard talked about a lot of information related to the Tower of Trials.

"A stranger? Mentor! We have been practicing for a whole year not just to clear the first level, but to obtain the legendary rewards of the first level!"

"I'm just here to take a look. I won't disturb you." Jiang Qiao spread his hands to show that he was not interested in joining their team.

"Alas, His Highness Segman will be thirty in a week, and there won't be any more time to practice. Okay, kids, go in once you're ready."

After the old wizard finished speaking, under Jiang Qiao's gaze, the five young spellcasters behind him walked into the Trial Tower.

The old wizard also came to the six huge stone tablets placed at the entrance of the Trial Tower.

Jiang Qiao glanced at the six huge stone tablets. The first five were already covered with densely packed words, but the last one had only a single line of words.

Judging from the system translation, these words are all names. For example, the first line of the first one has six names written on it: Puri Fionnis, Lian Yi Fionnis, Xiu Ze Rui Lesetta... and so on.

There is a line of numbers behind these six names, which record the time. The numbers translated by the system are forty-two minutes and fifty-three seconds.

When Jiang Qiao saw the number, he instantly understood what the so-called "legendary reward" was.

That is the fastest copy clearance record!

God damn, there are copies of this thing in other worlds that record its existence.

But wouldn’t it be more fun if the world fragments themselves had their own copy recording system

Jiang Qiao looked at the old wizard beside him. The old wizard's name was recorded in the first place on the first stone tablet.

"Why don't you follow them to challenge the first level?" Jiang Qiao asked curiously.

"Young man, is this your first time in the Tower of Trials? The first level is limited to children under the age of thirty, and I'm over a hundred years old this year." The old wizard shook his head, but he couldn't hide the proud expression on his face when he saw that his name was ranked first. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"Young man, what's your name? How old are you this year?" The old wizard stared at Jiang Qiao and asked. Jiang Qiao looked very young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the magical aura on Jiang Qiao was not much weaker than that of his favorite disciple.

"Me? I won't update today. I'm about twelve days old this year." Jiang Qiao said seriously.

"What?"

The old wizard was a little confused when he heard Jiang Qiao's introduction. He wondered if he was a little hard of hearing.

"No update today. This year, I'm just twelve days old. I'm zero years old and twelve days old. I'm not even a full month old yet. Do you understand?"

Jiang Qiao honestly reported the age of this account, which was indeed the truth. Holy Spirit had only been in service for twelve days.

"What's your name today?" The old wizard was dumbfounded. He thought Jiang Qiao's name was similar in pronunciation, just a little longer.

"No update." Jiang Qiao replied.

"how old are you?"

"Twelve days."

"Twelve days is an age?"

"You are telling me crosstalk!" Jiang Qiao was a little amused.

"Young people nowadays really love to joke. If you don't want to tell me... I won't ask any more questions. After all, the Dark Flame Country and our Flowing Water Country are sworn enemies." The old wizard was very frank and said that he would not argue with a child.

I'm telling the truth, brother! In the next few days, you'll probably see more strange names, and a lot of players who come out to cause trouble before the full month.
