The magic tower, also known as the wizard tower.
Rising in the wizarding circle in the middle of the dark age, it is a special building that integrates experiments and residences—of course, this is the information recorded in general materials. According to Merlin, a young witch, apart from these basic things, The magic tower is a symbol of a wizard's identity. In the eyes of a dark wizard, the size of a wizard's magic tower can completely represent his identity and fame.
It seems that the owner of this magic tower had an absolutely high status at that time!
Standing at the opened door, Ye Qi looked at the room in front of him. According to the height, it should be a room located on the bottom or second-to-last floor of the magic tower—a wide space, even if there are twenty experimental tables ten feet long and six feet wide. The tables don't have any meaning of being narrow, and all kinds of experimental instruments are placed neatly on each experimental table; Ye Qi can completely imagine the busy figure of the wizard apprentices here back then.
That's right, it's the wizard apprentice!
Thanks to the black market merchant, Ye Qi was lucky enough to see a set of elementary experimental equipment used by wizards, and these equipment are undoubtedly similar to the equipment on the experimental table in front of him; Elaboration aside, the effect is basically the same - the phrase 'wizard's items are dangerous' isn't just for outsiders, it's the same for any wizard themselves who want to exaggerate the use of certain items.
And the fact that some people regret their whole lives because of their own pride has made this sentence widely spread-at least, the black market merchant touched the young witch's experiment dish because of his curiosity at the beginning, The example of being poisoned by the intense toxin sprayed out and only recovering after lying in bed for a week; Ye Qi has already experienced it deeply; he knows very well that if it wasn't for the little man and Ava who happened to be beside him at that time, these two poison masters With the potion master, the dark businessman will definitely not just lie in bed for a week.
Very calm and without any urgency!
After Ye Qi's eyes scanned the neatly arranged experimental equipment on each experimental table, he came to a very definite conclusion - wizard's experiments had no time at all. If not notified in advance, the equipment in the laboratory will not stop their own functions at all; therefore, it is obvious that the wizard apprentices here have been notified by their instructors before they stopped the experiment, and will My own experimental equipment was neatly packed.
Wizards' labs may seem messy, but that doesn't mean they're sloppy. It was the experiment itself that caused such signs; after all, acid, poisonous smoke, and flames would fly out from the face at any time. It is even an exploding laboratory. Any cleanliness is only maintained until the next experiment is started. Once the experiment starts, everything will return to that mess again—and the orderly arrangement in front of me, although because of time, , it has been covered with dust, but it must have been extremely neat and tidy at the beginning; and this is enough to tell Ye Qi that these wizard apprentices and his mentor all went to the battlefield back then, and finally. But none of them came back.
Will the loser of the war lose all...
Silently chanting these words, Ye Qi looked to the side with his eyes—a row of cabinets made of solid wood formed a semicircle along the wall of the magic tower, along with a spiral staircase on the opposite side. The staircase leading up from the wall forms a diagonal.
In those solid wood cabinets, through pieces of glass. Ye Qi could clearly see the spare experimental equipment and some experimental materials stored inside—undoubtedly, compared with the materials in the room where the experimental materials were stored in the five 'spots' before him, the materials in front of him were much different. The value was quite a bit higher; at the very least, Ye Qi found more than one piece of mithril and even a piece of pure gold in the cabinet after just a slight scan.
Sure enough, it is indeed a magic tower that existed in the dark ages!
With such an exclamation. Ye Qi finally stepped into the magic tower, and walked straight to the stairs leading to the upper floor—undoubtedly, in order to ensure the safety of the laboratory and apprentices, there are no magic traps on this floor, except for the stairs leading to the upper floor. Except for a magic alert similar to an alarm, there is no existence of magic fluctuations.
After easily stepping over the warning magic on the penultimate ladder leading to the second floor, Ye Qi pushed open the door of the second floor—a configuration basically similar to the previous floor. It's just that the number of experimental tables has been reduced by more than half, and the level of experimental equipment is more than one level higher; if the previous experimental equipment is still for beginners and beginners, then this time it is already advanced. Ye Qi can get these experimental equipment. Although the wizard here is still in the name of an apprentice, he is already a real wizard in terms of strength.
Becoming a wizard apprentice under the guidance of a wizard mentor, and then advancing to a wizard does not mean that the wizard apprentice has 'graduated'. According to Merlin, after an apprentice becomes a real wizard, he still needs to be his mentor. Serving for several years, ranging from one year to ten years, and sometimes more than twenty years-this is unimaginable for ordinary people, but it is quite normal among wizards; after all, as a mentor The knowledge taught by a good wizard is priceless; it is the key to honor, power, and even life for apprentices.
Especially in the dark age, the era when wizards are proud, becoming a wizard is almost everyone's dream or lifelong wish; therefore, any abnormalities will naturally appear extremely normal in front of these!
Of course, apprentices with the strength of real wizards also have a certain right to speak in front of their mentors, and often participate in important experiments of their mentors, and they will also receive corresponding 'funding subsidies' based on quarters every year ——The expenditure required for the wizard's own experiment will directly double with the growth of his own strength and the expansion of the experimental project; the kind of Kimpton calculated on the basis of thousands of coins, even the wizard is also powerful Not caught, especially by a wizard just out of his apprenticeship.
Therefore, after completing their own 'contracts', these 'apprentices' who have the strength of real wizards still will not choose to leave their mentors, but sign a 'work contract' to obtain real benefits for their own independence. foundation; and every mentor will be happy to sign such a 'work contract'; after all, the tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice is enough to increase the success rate of some experiments, and the success of any experiment will be far beyond the 'work contract'. Work contract' return - of course, if in the 'work contract'. His apprentices have excellent performance, and those mentors don't mind changing the content of the 'job contract' so that their apprentices can be promoted to their assistants.
In fact, the reason why some wizards from poor backgrounds will always follow behind their mentors is mostly for the status of "assistant" - not only because of the generous treatment, but more importantly, to be able to get in touch with more Opportunity for advanced spell ideas!
He withdrew his gaze from the experiment table. Ye Qi glanced at the solid wood cabinets similar to those on the lower floor, when he saw a mithril block the size of a lighter. His eyelids couldn't help twitching—when he was renovating his bar, Ye Qi was on the verge of bankruptcy because he bought a piece of mithril that was smaller than the one in front of him; but now, a piece of mithril that was bigger than before The silver mine appeared in front of his eyes, not at an auction on the black market, nor in a secret room of a family collection, but just in an ordinary cabinet for storing experimental materials.
Especially when there was more than one mithril of this size, Ye Qi couldn't help but smiled wryly—the wizard's wealth is indeed beyond ordinary people's imagination!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qi resisted the desire to put all these Mithril mines in his pocket. Turn around and walk towards the stairs leading to the third floor—according to the current configuration, Ye Qi is very much looking forward to what there will be on the third floor; as for the experimental materials on the lower two floors? Ye Qi didn't give up, but already had a better use.
Leave the professional issues to professional talents—although he also has a proficient level of alchemy, there is still a lot of gap compared with Merlin, who was born in a wizard family; perhaps in making magic items or some special potions, He was a bit stronger than Merlin, but he was more than a little bit behind in the most important magic model composition experiment for wizards and the existence that wizards valued most: spells.
Of course. This will happen later, and now Ye Qi is very clear about what he needs most - to find the key to the cage, and by the way, get a glimpse of the entire magic tower.
The third floor did not disappoint Ye Qi. The moment he opened the door, Ye Qi was attracted by the exaggerated experiment table in the middle of the room—it was thirty feet long and twelve feet wide; It's the magic tower that's the wizard's laboratory. Ye Qi thought that he had entered a meeting room of a high-level government; even the conference tables in those high-level government conference rooms were quite different from the experimental table in front of him.
At the very least, Ye Qi didn't think that the high-ranking officials of the highest government and their staff would be more valuable than the experimental table in front of him. There were advanced experimental equipment that he had never seen or heard of, even though it had been stained. It caused a layer of dust, but if the dust is wiped off, these experimental equipment are enough to drive any wizard crazy, not to mention the solid wood cabinets next to the experimental materials.
This should be the laboratory used by the wizard and his assistants!
With this in mind, Ye Qi walked to the solid wood cabinet containing the experimental materials; although he was already mentally prepared. But when he saw those transparent beakers and test tubes filled with various unknown liquids and solids, Ye Qi was still shocked—he clearly saw that in a small test tube, there was a kind of black like mud, but The liquid is still tumbling, but the label pasted on the test tube is written in Abyssal language.
Balrog blood!
With a proficient level of mysterious knowledge, Ye Qi instantly understood the above markings, and it was precisely because he understood that he was shocked—the Balrog, the full name of the Balrog, whether it is in the endless abyss or the brimstone In the river of the river, they are all high-level existences; like those demonic creatures, they are all born from chaos, but each of them almost has the strength of a lord; powerful, can control fire, fearless and most spells, and with other Demons like to destroy and destroy; almost as long as such an existence appears, it is the number one land for demon hunters.
Fortunately, it is not easy for such an existence to come to the material world; therefore, there are not a few times in the history of demon hunters who have fought against each other; The demon suffered heavy losses—it only takes a moment for an existence below the solar level to be burned to ashes when it encounters an opponent; and an existence of the solar level needs to dodge in time when facing the long whip formed by the flame, otherwise , If you are touched, you will be slaughtered; after all. That is not an ordinary flame, but the real flame of chaos—it is not afraid of water, it can spontaneously ignite without anything, and directly burns the soul!
Therefore, even if it is a solar-level powerhouse, it has to dodge in the face of such flames.
And based on past achievements. Every time he fights with the Barlow Balrog, there is no spoils of war—it is not that the opponent explodes and turns into ashes. It was instantly eaten by the demons who appeared together; therefore, let alone blood, Ye Qi had never seen even a piece of scale armor.
It should have suppressed the power of chaos in the blood with a special technique!
Moreover, the cabinets on this floor are also different from those below, they should be made with special techniques, otherwise, the magical fluctuations emitted by so many rare materials gathered together would have attracted people long ago!
Ye Qi stood silently in front of the cabinet, and glanced at the other experimental materials. His eyes seemed to look carefully at the solid wood cabinet in front of him, which seemed to be the same as he had seen before—because it contained magic materials, so Ye Qi didn't pay attention to the faint fluctuations emanating from the cabinet at first. , but when he saw the test tube containing Balrog's blood, he immediately overturned his previous random guess.
Perhaps, the lower two floors are just like his guess. But this layer is absolutely different.
With this in mind, Ye Qi finally discovered a clue after spending about ten minutes relying on his proficient level of mysterious knowledge and alchemy—on these solid wood cabinets, the unique texture of trees has not been After processing, it was completely presented in front of Ye Qi. At the beginning, he was looking for magic circles or items that might have a hidden atmosphere, but Ye Qi didn't notice these textures, and only regarded them as a preference of the original owner, the wizard.
But when he looked around the cabinet several times, and almost opened the cabinet, Ye Qi noticed these textures - when there were magic circles or special items that concealed their own fluctuations, Ye Qi certainly did not dare to open it rashly. These chests; for no one knows. After hiding his own fluctuations, is there a trap in it? No, after seeing the special materials including the blood of the Balrog and thinking about it, Ye Qi decided in his heart that there must be a trap.
Therefore, the raised hand was instinctively retracted; but at the moment of retracting, Ye Qi keenly noticed the changes in the texture of the wood—not the kind of drastic changes that changed completely all at once, but It's a subtle, similar and extended change; it's like the water drops hanging on the transparent cup, after sliding down a bit from the port of the cup, they completely merge into the original water in the cup.
This kind of change is naturally difficult for ordinary people to notice. After all, most people's eyes will be attracted by more and bigger existences—the original water in the cup; it is difficult to notice those small existences, the drop hanging on the mouth of the cup Especially when the small water drops fall into the water in the cup after falling for a very small distance, this change has a feeling of being invisible.
If it weren't for raising his palm, having a fixed reference object, and the perception of reaching 18 is already extremely sharp, Ye Qi also thought that he would not have noticed this change-but, relatively, the most difficult thing in anything is It is the beginning part; once the beginning is resolved, the rest will be logical; and after making such a discovery, Ye Qi discovered the uniqueness of these cabinets containing precious materials almost instantly.
It will flow like a liquid!
What kind of magic circle is this or is it because of the material itself
After Ye Qi took two steps in front of these cabinets filled with precious materials, he couldn't help frowning—obviously, discovering something strange doesn't mean he can understand it; Arcane knowledge and alchemy are already dwarfed by comparison.
If you have a chance, you should read some materials about strange objects or special existences!
With this in mind, Ye Qi let out a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the upper floor again—obviously, Ye Qi was not yet extravagant enough to use precious skill points to satisfy his curiosity. That point; he is more inclined to the traditional way of acquiring knowledge in this area: reading or asking for advice.
Huh!
The stairs leading to the fourth floor don't have any warning magic, but the door is different—on that door, it has the same texture as the cabinet containing rare materials!
Faint fluctuations flowed on the door like a liquid, emitting gently, no different from the fluctuations emitted by those solid wood cabinets that Ye Qi had seen before—with its own subtle fluctuations, it covered up all other magical fluctuations!
Unlike those cabinets with transparent glass, Ye Qi temporarily stopped in front of such a door that completely obscured his sight—as a cautious person, he did not rush to open the door. The gate checks for the existence within; after all, there may be something more precious there, and there may be something more dangerous.
Ye Qi, on the other hand, undoubtedly prefers the latter!
