Chapter Thirty-Seven: Condition: ‘Clear the level with 1 life’
The world outside the wall is quiet and quiet, with vendors shouting loudly and civilians walking through the chaotic market, but no one dares to approach the towering metal fence.
Although the building behind the iron fence looks extremely luxurious, and although the man watching the door seems careless, this kind of place often means danger.
At the gate, Ganis reminded again: “In the past hundred years, no less than thirty adventure teams have entered this mage tower, but no one has come back. Although Mage Madeira is only a high-level mage, his special research direction But it’s space magic, so… please be careful.”
Tang Si raised the corner of his mouth: “Don’t you and your Majesty think that difficult work should be accompanied by corresponding remuneration?”
His speech didn’t sound like a former knight’s apprentice at all.
To put it bluntly, it means the same thing – you have to pay more!
Well, his mind is completely in the shape of a mage. There is no way, the world of magic is all about equal exchange.
Ganis coughed awkwardly: “Your Majesty will pay a reasonable reward based on success.”
Downs stopped teasing the king’s chief advisor and nodded to the burly warrior holding a huge silver shield. Under the complicated gaze of the gatekeeper, this tough man named Juan pushed open the iron fence.
Just stepping over the threshold, everyone seemed to have entered another world.
A strange purple-blue halo swept across the tree crown, and the branches seemed to be decorated with colored lights, constantly flashing with arcane brilliance.
Not only that, the ground was obviously shaking slightly, and the space in the yard and the space outside the wall seemed to be staggered. Although Downs could still clearly see Ganis and others outside the iron gate, he felt like he was greeting people on the surface from under the water.
The four high-level professionals around Tang Si all stared expectantly at this [true *once-in-a-hundred-year] mage.
The defeat of so many teams over the past century, and the demise of so many masters and even legendary professionals from other professions, is enough to illustrate one thing – the next step is the domain of Master Fa.
This is not to discriminate against spellcasting professions such as warlocks or priests. In a place like this, only the knowledge of the Master can really save the day.
Frankly speaking, the four of them can only be regarded as accessories.
Downs was actually a little nervous. He was regarded as a hero during the last battle in La Manche. To put it bluntly, that time, his blood rushed to his head and he rushed towards the city gate without much thought. It was only after the fight that he felt a little scared.
What about this time?
Is it possible to just rely on the theory taught by Master?
No, even what the master taught, Tang Si felt a little blurry at the moment.
There is no way. Every time the master teaches something, Tang Si half understands it, but he can always comprehend new magic. The master considers him to have passed the test.
When it comes to magic theory, he probably has seven orifices and six orifices…
Tang Si asked in a low voice to Laifu on his shoulder: “Master?”
Unexpectedly, Laifu nodded slightly.
Ren…he is indeed here.
Even after entering different dimensions, the soul connection between him and Laifu seems to be still stable, which is amazing.
Not to mention that Towns was nervous, so was Rene.
Although Ren feels like he is playing a third-person adventure game, don’t forget that he must ‘clear the level in one life’, otherwise his rare apprentice will be destroyed.
“go in!”
Downs gave the order, and the rogue who acted as a scout took the lead and pushed open the door of the mage tower that seemed to be only five stories high and with a top like a spindle.
The brass metal door, which was fully three meters high, opened smoothly beyond everyone’s expectations. The century-old wind and frost did not seem to have caused any rust on the door.
When the scene at the door was revealed to the five people, everyone couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
So clean!
It seemed as if a team of servants carefully cleaned it every day.
There is not a trace of dust visible on the black and white square tiles on the ground, and time seems to have stopped at the moment when the magic network collapsed a hundred years ago.
Occasionally, you can see the scratch marks of sharp metal boots on the ground, which are obviously left by latecomers, not the owners of this place.
After walking for a while, everyone felt something was wrong.
There is something wrong with 12 out of 10 points!
No matter from the outside, or based on the architectural drawings provided by the Cervantes royal family, this mage tower with a circular cross-section and a maximum single floor of 500 square meters cannot have such a straight corridor with a length of more than 100 meters.
Even though the door behind him didn’t close on its own, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and even the howling wind outside fell silent.
Only a rhythmic mechanical sound and waves of confused murmurs came from the front, as if to seduce them.
The other four ‘pendants’ couldn’t help but look at Downs.
If we want to withdraw, this may be our last chance.
But now that we are here, who wants to withdraw?
Even if they don’t believe in this mage who seems to pop out of the ground, they still believe in their master, the legendary mage behind Downs!
They gritted their teeth, formed the most common formation for adventure teams and continued to move forward.
The rogue explored the path, the giant shield warrior was second to guard Tang Si in the middle, the priest was fourth, and the ranger lined up at the back with his bow string gently clasped.
The sounds coming from the distance became clearer and clearer.
This is not the sound of an instrument, it is a clicking sound similar to mechanical gears, rotating according to a fixed rhythm.
Downs is no stranger to this. He has witnessed with his own eyes how the water wheel ‘continuously converts the power of the water element into the wind element’.
Entering a huge atrium, everyone blinked instinctively. As the light around them became brighter, the scenery in front of them made them a little frightened.
Everyone finally knows the whereabouts of the adventurer team that entered the Mage Tower before.
Nearly all of them are here…
There are hundreds of resentful spirits floating in the air two meters above the ground. These poor people who died because they were driven mad were unaware of their own condition. They wanted revenge and frantically chased after the enemies who had driven them to death.
In the vision of the five people, most of these resentful spirits were beating each other pointlessly, or desperately scratching the walls and doors next to the atrium with their pale translucent fingers.
If it were just a resentful spirit, maybe it would be okay. The problem is that there are many [activated objects] on the floor of the atrium.
They saw with their own eyes that a brass candlestick had twisted itself into a twist. The trident-shaped candlestick had a twisted human face growing out of the fork. It screamed and drove the three candles on its forehead to extend like whips.
If I read it correctly, it was trying to strangle a wooden wild boar that was most likely a sideboard.
Although I really don’t want to describe a sideboard as a wild boar, it does look like a wild boar. The four table legs turned into pig trotters, and the arched back and the huge wooden wild boar head cannot be said to be very similar. Say exactly the same thing.
The scenes in front of them were so strange that the three physics professionals present were terrified.
Christine, the eldest ranger girl, squeezed her sweat and whispered: “Can we go around it?”
But before she could get a response, she probably noticed the arrival of their group of uninvited guests. Suddenly, all the foreign objects in the atrium collectively screamed, and then rushed towards them.
“Ah!” The giant shield warrior felt his head tightening, and the world began to spin.
Wraith spirits have the characteristic of [madness].
When hundreds of resentful spirits go crazy collectively, the [perception] shock wave formed is definitely beyond the realm of possibility for a high-level warrior.
Just as the warrior’s brain was blown to a blank, Pastor Pat, who finally managed to survive, shouted: “I can’t possibly deal with so many vengeful spirits!”
It’s over!
The three of them almost had the same idea.
They can completely imagine the tragic scene after they were swallowed up by the army of resentful spirits, their souls chewed up, and even their flesh and blood were melted, turning into those twisted [activated objects].
Just then, thunder and lightning came!
“Boom!”
Huge thunder and bright lightning became the only main theme in the atrium.
The vision of the four people was filled with white light, and they almost instinctively covered their eyes with their hands…
