After Zhao Xu suddenly heard the voice, he cautiously asked for some private information, and then confirmed that the voice he heard in his heart was indeed Antinoya.
Because according to his understanding, the other party would never observe his actions in a boring way.
In Antinoya's opinion, as long as Zhao Xu has not used up all five resurrection stones, he is in full condition, so there is no need to worry.
Finally, at Antinoya's suggestion, Zhao Xu paid a bag of gold coins he received for his mission to the God of Death's demiplane as the cost of buying out the news.
Shuang Jian and others also made a promise to him not to reveal the secrets of this area, and also handed over the "notebook" to him.
For this kind of one-time buyout, Zhao Xu was very decisive in setting the starting price, so as not to be left with unclear results when he got it.
In fact, when the Watcher Guild and the others saw the amount of gold coins given by Zhao Xu, they didn't react for a while. After all, they were on a very weak side. They didn't expect that the Guangfeng Mage would be so willing.
In the end, Shuangjian nodded to Zhao Xu to express his gratitude, and at the same time hinted that in the future he could help Master Guangfeng solve some things that were inconvenient for him to come forward, or even run errands.
At this time, after everyone saw the bag of gold coins that Zhao Xu took out, they basically regarded him as a powerful NPC that could be hugged.
Zhao Xu politely left his "contact information" to Shuangjian and others.
Then the players of the Watcher Guild rushed back to Mystra overnight, with no intention of going offline.
After Mage Guangfeng bought out, it was their turn to avoid suspicion and leave, and being close to Xifeng Valley was also more risky for them.
After everyone evacuated, Zhao Xu climbed up the stone steps again and stood on the high platform next to Mirror Moon Lake.
"Teacher, have you been paying attention to me since I came out?" Zhao Xu asked knowingly.
"You are overthinking it. It was you who entered this area that made me pay attention. Who would have thought that I would meet an acquaintance?"
"Enter?" Zhao Xu was a little strange.
"The territory of Xifeng Valley is my fiefdom. I will naturally know if you have caused any disturbance." Antinoya said calmly.
manor
This extremely sacred term, which also represented Arthur's landlord class, immediately captured Zhao Xu's heart.
The fief itself means that he has all legal rights over the territorial area, but Arthur's form of obtaining the fief is extremely strict, because he still has to go through the checkpoints of the gods.
Zhao Xu also didn't expect that Antinoya actually had such capital, and suddenly the other person in his mind felt like he was glowing with gold.
In this case, the ferocious bear was still Antinoya's domestic animal, but in the end, they killed it casually.
Zhao Xu also vaguely understood that if the mage tower really sank to the bottom of Mirror Moon Lake, it was really impossible for Antinoya not to know about it.
If he had known that the mage tower was within three or four days' journey of Mystra when he was in Mystra, he would have doubted it himself.
How could the real mages of Mystra a hundred years ago be able to ignore the fall of a mage tower right in front of their eyes
The appearance of Antinoya at this moment finally relieved his doubts.
"Teacher, did you dig out that mage tower before?" Zhao Xu asked.
At this time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the enemies that may be peeking around are just chickens and dogs.
And with Antinoya's intervention, the next notebook will be fused with him.
"The mage tower is still under the bottom of the lake, I didn't dig it out." Antinoya said lightly.
At this time, the slightly drunken night wind blew across Zhao Xu's face, making him feel a little cool and sobering up a little.
"Teacher, how low do you have it?" Zhao Xu asked.
Apparently, a group of them had just spent a night searching, using light spells for 60 hours, and still found nothing.
"That mage tower was made by the mage Errol before he died. He controlled the tower body and smashed it into the bottom of the lake. Hmm, these nine-ring mage's talents were mediocre when they were promoted to legend, but the legendary mages are all in one set after another."
"Knowing that I despise his mage tower, and fearing that other mages would take advantage of him, he just smashed into my territory and wanted me to keep it for him for hundreds of years for free, waiting for his descendants to have a talented person. When you become a mage, come back and excavate this mage tower."
"It's just that the business is done on my own head, how can it be so cheap? He smashed the Mage Tower from the sky to the ground for thirty kilometers, so I doubled it for him and continued to smash it three more times under the lake. Ten kilometers." Antinoya said proudly at this time, as if he was very satisfied with what he did.
After Zhao Xu heard this, he could only complain secretly. This kind of "retaliation" was indeed a way of growing up.
Moreover, the other party fell thirty kilometers in the air. Antinoya forced her way through the underground rock barrier and forced her way in. The level of difficulty was not at all the same.
It seems that the "no trace of time" spell does not increase the age of the mind, but it does have a price.
But Zhao Xu relaxed even more after thinking about it, and was not worried at all about what happened in the Mage Tower.
Jingyue Lake is thirty kilometers underground. Within the ten kilometers surrounding it, the distance to the mage tower is basically about thirty kilometers.
In this way, Shuangjian and others know the hiding place of the mage tower, which actually makes no sense.
The truly important value is actually the encrypted part at the back of the notebook in his hand. So Zhao Xu's payment of gold coins actually bought out the cause and effect.
"Huh? You want to dig out that mage tower?"
Suddenly, Antinoya's figure suddenly appeared next to Zhao Xu, standing side by side with him.
Zhao Xu also relied on the "True Knowledge Technique" to see Antinoya's invisible figure, but he could not detect Antinoya's presence from his sense of smell and various senses, which showed that the other party was using a higher power. Ring's invisibility.
After Antinoya's teleportation appeared, she kept looking at the fiefdom she owned in front of her.
"Teacher, that thing is considered an ownerless thing, so it wouldn't be against common sense for me to dig it up, right?" Zhao Xu asked.
"It's natural. Those players saved Errol's descendants and obtained the other party's permission. They were born with the ownership of the mage tower. And you just bought it from the other party and theoretically obtained it. Ownership. As long as you dig out the mage tower, you will naturally be its owner."
"Actually, Errol deliberately broke in, hoping that over time, I, the owner of the territory, would also have part of the ownership. But I don't mind, so naturally you can dig it as you please." Antinoya said with a cheerful smile.
A mage tower is a big deal after all.
Therefore, Zhao Xu didn't want to have any flaws in the process, so he felt relieved after hearing Antinoya's words.
If a group of adventurers broke into the tower and looted the tower's belongings, that would be logically justified. After all, they were all ownerless things that had been left unattended for too long.
But if that group of adventurers wanted to claim that they owned the mage tower, there would be a fight.
This is why Shuangjian gave up the ownership of the tower from the beginning, because only the Mage Association itself can afford it.
However, the prerequisite for possession is to be able to "dig" it out.
Thirty kilometers, Zhao Xu and the others walked in the wilderness for a day, and this was the only distance that would last them to death.
The earth's crust is about tens of kilometers thick. The outer layer is granite and the inner layer is basalt. Arthur's surface estimates are also similar.
This shows that the mage tower is hidden in the rock at a depth of thirty kilometers.
Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown, "Teacher, the mage tower was not crushed by the vibration of the earth's crust, right?"
Most earthquakes on the earth spread through the crust. He didn't want to end up diving thirty kilometers into the ground, only to find a scrapped mage tower that had been crushed and torn apart.
"Do you think it's possible? I think you need to re-recognize who is standing in front of you." Antinoya said cheerfully.
Damn, isn't he a legendary mage
Zhao Xu thought unhappily.
At this time, Antinoya turned her head and looked at Zhao Xu. Her eyes were very bright in the night, as if they were twinkling with starlight.
"Whenever you are able to sneak into the ground 30 kilometers below the ground, you can go in and search for treasures. When you are able to dig it out, then you are qualified to own such a mage tower."
Hearing this, Zhao Xu frowned.
Antinoya's words told him to divide it into two steps: "find it" and "dig it out".
The first one alone is not so easy to do.
The current drilling depth of human beings on earth is only 12 kilometers.
Zhao Xu immediately reviewed the list of all the spells he knew. If he wanted to reach thirty kilometers underground directly, he would probably have to rely on the "Teleportation Technique". At the same time, he would have to immediately use the fifth-ring "Thor Stone Movement Technique", otherwise he would be crushed to death by stones if he teleported there.
However, the five-ring "teleportation" scroll is not so difficult for Zhao Xu to obtain.
That is, he has to do a good job of research and make himself "extremely familiar" with the target location, otherwise he may teleport to a similar area or even be killed on the spot.
"Teacher, is there any treasure hidden in the mage tower?" Zhao Xu asked, he needed to use this to determine his strength.
There will be nothing inside later. If he goes in now, he will waste two five-ring scrolls going back and forth.
"At least some high-level spell scrolls are not lacking." Antinoya replied.
After hearing this, Zhao Xu thought to himself that such words were indeed worth his effort.
"Well, since you want to use the fifth-ring teleportation technique to take a shortcut, you have to go back to Mystra to do your homework again and investigate the details of the mage tower."
Antinoya saw through Zhao Xu's intention right away, "Forget it, you should accumulate to level 6 in Mystra, successfully advance, and then venture out to the mage tower. During this time, I will also arrange a tutorial for you. It’s a full-time job, and you are somewhat qualified at Level 5 anyway.”
"Advanced?" Zhao Xu asked in surprise.
"Didn't you already get that notebook?"
Antinoya's eyes fell on the lead box in Zhao Xu's hand.
