After the demon exited the periphery of the mage tower, the progress of the battle outside became slow. The battle soon shifted to the group of Nimesis and Laurenna, but Brando predicted that at least three to four rotations would be needed to completely wipe out these demons.
It’s been a long time, but fortunately, he is not nothing to do. The first floor of the mage's tower is as big as a small square, close to the outer wall of the square, a circle of stairs spiraling upwards, leading to the platform on the second floor. This platform is actually suspended between the square and the third-story space above. The platform is a circular structure with a breast wall and crenels built around. Brando looks like a fortification. Its function is self-explanatory and natural. After someone broke through the entrance of the mage tower, they used it to attack the enemy on the first floor of the square.
Presumably when this mage tower was still in operation, it should have been full of wizards' guards and young apprentices, but now that people have gone to the building, only the lifeless fortification itself is left.
But even so, the wizard tower is still dangerous. "Wizard’s things cannot be touched" is a saying of the Karasu people, and the Wizard Tower, the most precious property of a wizard, is a restricted area for ordinary people.
Especially in such an abandoned wizard tower, the scattered magic power, the magic traps still in operation, the magic puppets and dangerous creatures, plants, and even the books in the bookshelves that have lost the owner's restraint are full of mystery and unknown. As far as a normal person is concerned, the best way to enter this wizard tower to ensure safety is to stay motionless underneath.
But this constraint is only for ordinary people.
Brando knew another secret in this tower. He ordered everyone to rest in place, and then took Qian, the little prince, and Feralas up into the third floor of the mage tower alone.
There is no physical connection between the third floor and the second floor of the mage tower, but twelve teleportation formations are used to transport manpower and materials. The twelve teleportation arrays were marked by different colors, and Brando chose the red teleportation array without even thinking about it.
Setting traps on the teleportation array is the most vicious, and it is also the most common way for wizards to guard against enemies.
Red is a color of warning to most people, but Brando knows that the colors of the twelve teleportation arrays are more than just a warning. The Dark Tower wizards associate them with the twelve months of Eruin and the twelve rounds of magic moons. In different months, under different conditions of the moon and the moon, there will only be one teleportation formation that is the real teleportation formation.
Most of the other teleportation arrays will teleport you to the icy storm-stopping mountain, or the lava field, or the shallow sea of Malocha's hometown, and a corner of the world that you can't even name.
Although most of the teleportation arrays are not fatal, the effects produced are more dangerous than fatal, especially for players. It is said that there was a hapless guy who rushed into the teleportation formation and was sent to a kingdom called Hilma. It took him a whole year in real time, and after posting countless help posts on the forum, he managed to find a way to return to Warnd. .
It is said that participating in the action to save the player at that time can even be written into a song and tearful epic, and the players have come up with various methods for this. After that, for a long time, players even set off a wave of going to another world.
Because of Eruin's war, Brando did not personally participate in the grand event of that event, but he knew that the players did not really find out how many "different worlds" were outside of Voend.
It's just that these different worlds obviously existed early in the morning, and Trishman came from one of them. Regarding these worlds, players are more inclined to be the fragments of Masha's order scattered in the vast dark world. Warnd is just the bigger one.
…
It took Brando a lot of effort to activate the magic circle, because he found that the mana pool of the facilities inside the wizard tower and the mana pool of the high-level exorcism magic circle outside were not the same. The mana pool inside had apparently dried up a long time ago, and he had to use the magic crystal he carried with him to finally drive the teleportation formation.
There was a flash of light in front of the four of them, and the next moment they found that the scenery in front of them had changed. Originally still quite spectacular fortifications. But now it has become a long, narrow and dark aisle—the mana pool in the wizard's tower has long since dried up, and the magic lighting originally used naturally no longer exists. If it weren’t for some strange glowing plants in the aisle, they might have seen it now. It should be completely dark.
However, Brando was prepared early, and he took out the magic crystal, and the bright light immediately reflected the corridor in front of it. This seemed to be the first time Guangming had revisited this place in a century. Brando heard a rustling sound, and then they all saw a large swath of vines retreating from the corridor as if shy, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. .
Qian can still maintain her composure. Feralas and the little prince couldn't help being a little creepy when they saw this scene. They had seen a lot of things, but they had never seen a plant that could run around on its own with long legs.
What's more, the shape of this corridor is a bit unsightly. It should have been a walkway paved with marble or obsidian stone, and the walls on both sides are covered with bricks, and there will be a torch bracket at every interval. . You can see similar walkways in many castles or temples.
But the one in front of me was like this. Many sturdy Tenmans grew out of the broken bricks. The slabs on the ground had already been lifted apart, and the corners seemed to be tropical jungles full of various plants. Most of them are ferns or some glowing fungi. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would imagine it would become a paradise for plants in such a place.
But this is the case in the turf of wizards, which most people call the "miracle of magic". It's just that this miracle is not necessarily friendly, and there is no shortage of examples in folklore where things are permanently turned into frogs by touching things randomly.
"Where is this place?" Feralas opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't help asking.
"This should be the top level of the Wizard Tower, and inside is where the wizards live." Brando replied. The red teleportation array, on the day when the magic of the harp is overflowing in the Moon of Flowing Fire, is the only way to the upper level of the Wizard Tower.
"Ah..." Haruze suddenly yelled in a low voice-although the wound on his shoulder had been bandaged, he could not help frowning because of the tugging of the wound. Then the little prince said curiously: "So those below are the twelve-lunar teleportation array!"
"Twelve moons?"
Haruze seemed to have realized that he was fussing a little too rudely, blushing, and explained in a low voice: "... My sister and I heard the father talk about some rumors about wizards. The Dark Tower wizards have some unique defenses. Means, the twelve-round lunar teleportation array is one of the most famous. The wizards designed this complex array system based on the seasons on the continent of Vaughan and the changes in the moon’s surplus. It is said that the blueprint of this array is in After being destroyed in an accident, no one can unlock it anymore."
"Even the wizards of Buja felt sorry for this. It is said that although the proud people of silver despise this crude magic circle technology, they frankly admit that it contains the most sophisticated astronomical and calendar calculation methods."
Haruze's tone was a little excited: "It can even be praised by the people of silver, it is undoubtedly the pride of Eruin."
Feralas curled his lips: "Didn't Mr. Brando untie it?"
The little prince really thought about it. He couldn’t help looking at Brando with admiration: “That’s because the teacher is so knowledgeable, even my sister admires Lord Earl. My sister has always been a proud person, Lewoods. The master personally said that her knowledge is no less than that of him."
When he said that, he couldn't help but looked at Brando a little bit cautiously.
Brando was a little awkward to say this, and he could obviously hear the little prince pleased him. What's more, the complicated calculation methods of these "passwords" of the teleportation array were of course not made by him, nor is it to say how wise the players are. In fact, the way players decipher this set of "passwords" can be regarded as a model of brute force cracking. I remember that it was a big guild who was filled out with human lives.
He didn't remember the name of the guild, but the other party got a lot of rewards later. They sold the answer to the dark tower wizard together with the magic circle itself, and it is said that they bought the price of a city.
Wizards have always been the least lack of money on the Warnd Continent, although few people have seen them spend money lavishly.
"But having said that, this is where the wizards live, and there must be some valuable things left in it?" Feralas seemed to suddenly think of this legend: "I heard that everything of wizards is What a rare baby."
He was about to rush in, but Brando hurriedly grabbed him and reminded angrily: "Nothing, the wizards are nothing more than more magic items in their hands. Believe me, you also have a lot of them. Mr. Feralas. Not every magic item is invaluable. Even if there is, it is for ordinary people, not for you—"
Feralas was taken aback, and then he reacted: "That's right. Then what are we doing here?"
"You'll find out in a while," Brando sighed, but still reminded: "Be careful, it's a big maze. It's not the kind of maze in your garden. Some people walk in the maze of wizards for a lifetime. If you don't come out, let alone there are tauren inside. You must have never seen those monsters codified by wizards. They can eat you so much that you don't have any bones left."
Feralas was about to go forward. He was taken aback when he heard him say this, and he hurriedly backed back: "This tower has been here for at least a few centuries. Wouldn't they starve to death?"
"Have you ever seen a starving monster?"
Feralas blinked, as if he had never seen it.
Brando then raised the illuminating crystal and walked forward. Although the surrounding plants were all odd shapes, he took a look at the plants that were basically harmless. The highly aggressive Nepenthes demon and snake-like vines that wizards like to plant are not seen here, but I want to come because these two plants are carnivorous vegetation, and when no one feeds them. It is estimated that it will not live long.
He followed the guidance of the strategy in his memory, turned left after passing the five closed doors, and then walked forward about a hundred steps. Under his reminder, Feralas, Akane, and the little prince tried not to look at those doors. In fact, even if Brando didn’t tell them, they had heard similar stories. Doors were a mysterious word for wizards. Their Most of the doors lead to mysterious other dimensions, and once mortals enter, they don't even want to come back. These stories are hard to tell, but it's best not to be a joke.
After walking for almost a hundred steps, Brando stopped. Sure enough, he saw a remains in the grass in front of him.
It was not the skeleton of a wizard, because the skeleton was still wearing a conspicuous armor. It was in this position when the first player in the game discovered it. The player believed that this skeleton should be an adventurer who entered here later. As for how they discovered this wizard tower, it is unknown, but according to his analysis, this one The owner of the skeleton should be a warrior-type character in this team of adventurers.
As for the cause of his death
Brando turned his head and took a closer look at the grass. At this time, he noticed that Haruze's face was a little strange, so he stopped and asked: "Did you find anything?"
"Who is he?" the little prince asked curiously.
"A warrior, or a knight, is definitely not a wizard anyway."
"He is the guards of wizards, how could he die here?" Feralas also asked.
"Because of this—" Brando finally found what he was looking for in the grass, and the sword of the earth was already in his hand. He stabbed it with a sword, and immediately nailed the thing to the ground.
With a sharp squeal, a group of dark things struggled under Brando's sword, and then died. Others took a closer look and realized that it was a creature like a ferret.
"What is this?" Feralas was startled slightly.
"This is Itachi."
"You said a ferret killed this guy?" The young knight from Cruz stared exaggeratedly: "Then I will be bitten to death by my hound in the future?"
Brando was a bit speechless about this metaphor, and besides, he felt that if this guy's IQ were not for his luck, he might really be bitten to death by a dog. Anyway, it wasn't a strange thing that Warnd was killed by a dog. Even if it was the dusk dog they were going to face for a while, it was also a serious canine.
"This is a familiar." He replied only then.
"Demon familiar?" Feralas reacted: "Are you saying that the one who killed him was a wizard, and there are wizards in this tower?" He suddenly got a little creepy.
The little prince also looked around immediately.
Qian did not answer, but silently held the Azure Spear.
