Chapter Thirty-Nine: An answer representing destiny

From a dark and deep cave beside the passage, a blue lizard pounced and bit out.

The crocodile head, which is as huge as the head of an earth dragon, not only has a clear dragon shape, but the frost breath it exhales makes Juan and Qian numb as soon as it appears.

Half of his body was sealed in the ice. For a moment, Juan thought he was going to die.

Unexpectedly, Downs actually took action faster than the ranger.

Kristine had just pulled the bowstring, and an [Electromagnetic Gun] containing terrifying thunder and lightning power had already struck the ‘lizard’ first, fiercely shooting through the head of the large [Frost Lizard].

“Thank you… thank you…” Juan felt like he had lost the ability to speak.

too exaggerated.

He is clearly a master. Not only does he have intelligence and perception that are superior to the four of them, he is no worse than anyone else in terms of agility and physical fitness. Maybe Juan is slightly better than Downs, but when a warrior competes with a mage in terms of strength and physique, the warrior has already lost. It’s nine streets away!

Downs is like a mobile magic turret, located in the middle of the team, ready to support the overall situation and sweep the entire mage tower.

Ren looked at the ‘trumpet’ in front of him through Laifu, which he had drawn out of a card, and he felt as if he was playing an unparalleled lawn mowing game.

If Master feels this way, don’t talk about others.

His ‘little friends’ truly realized the identity of their pendant at this moment and were completely shocked.

Christine complained in a low voice: “Tang Si shouldn’t come to this high-level mage tower. He should clean up the master-level mage tower.”

Is it because the ancient mages were too powerful? Or is it that we modern people simply don’t understand what a mage is?

Anyway, the three views of the four people were washed away by Downs time and time again.

They didn’t even know what to write in the secret report written to His Majesty the King after they returned.

If you continue to brag without thinking, will your Majesty beat them to death if you turn around?

The point is that this extremely young Master is really so strong!

Then blow it!

Blow to death!

Anyway, if you have a good master, you can handle anything!

Tang Si felt the envious and astonished eyes of his companions. He was really happy.

This feeling of one person sweeping through a group of enemies and completing the level directly is so great!

Although he warned himself not to wander all the way, as the resistance subsided, they arrived at the Mage Tower and reached the highest level. Everyone found that this was a ‘narrow’ space.

The 10-meter-long and wide hall is very large as a living quarters; as a combat area, it is too small.

For an agile professional like a ranger who needs space to maneuver, she instinctively resists this place.

What makes everyone feel strongly depressed is that they have discovered the master-level seniors who have entered this place. The seniors, without exception, reached the walls on the left and right…in the form of corpses. The worst thing is that they changed from 3D to 2D.

Despite the age, you can still clearly see that their armor and bones are completely flattened and embedded deeply in the wall, making them impossible to dig out.

Looking at their postures and their open jaws, you can fully imagine how painful they were in the last moments of their lives.

That is something that cannot be resisted or even delayed even after exhausting all means…death!

A certain master who was looking at the screen couldn’t help but complain: “Damn it, is this the entrance to the second dimension?”

Everyone is already sweating profusely.

Suddenly, a huge human face came to life on the wall opposite the entrance.

Through his vision, Ren saw a rough human face that looked like a stone carving at Stonehenge on Earth. The biggest difference was that the face was made of metal similar to black iron.

The square upper and lower jaws moved, and the other party began to introduce himself in an inorganic and loud voice: “Dear guests,

Good day! I am the tower spirit [Iron Mask] who guards this mage tower. “I am Downs Quixote, a high-level mage.” “Following Downs, the other four people introduced themselves one after another.

“Good day, gentlemen and ladies.” Ta Ling obviously has considerable wisdom.

Downs first laid out a fact: “Mr. Ta Ling, you know… the owner of this mage tower has…”

“I know that Your Excellency Madeira has fallen.”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt a little bad. This means it’s hard to pull a trick.

“The master said that if he falls, the Mage Tower can be given to any son of destiny who is qualified to inherit this Mage Tower.”

“Are there any conditions?” Downs asked calmly.

“Yes! Just answer one question.”

Pastor Pat, the oldest, interrupted and asked: “Then, what is the price of failure?”

Taling solemnly said: “The prerequisite for answering the question is to put your life and knowledge on the tray of the scale of fate.”

Failure is death.

Very fair and very mage style.

To obtain arcane knowledge and wealth, you must pay a corresponding price.

Tang Si was a little distracted for a moment. Rather, it would be better to say that teaching like his master, which is almost tantamount to selfless teaching, is extremely generous.

No matter what era, knowledge should never be free.

Children of poor people are not qualified to study. This has been the norm throughout the history of the earth.

Free and universal compulsory education is an anomaly.

Tang Si didn’t know how enlightened his master, who had been trained in nine years of compulsory education, was in this regard. His biggest feeling was the overwhelming favor.

Downs took a deep breath: “Can anyone answer it?”

[Iron Mask] The huge eyeballs in the eye sockets, which were as big as basketballs and looked like graphite balls, turned around. It seemed to see through something: “Yes! Any existence.”

Downs looked around and looked at everyone who was nodding. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, please tell me your problem.”

Tiemian immediately showed his ruthless side, his eyes seemed to tremble, and Tang Si immediately discovered that a terrifying thousand-pound gate had fallen on their way.

“Boom!”

That is not a simple metal gate. The shining and mysterious magic runes on the door clearly tell everyone that this door also has terrible protective power.

The problem comes.

“Ask – what is the shortest between two points?”

Almost at the same time the question was raised, the mechanisms behind the walls on both sides of the hall started to activate. The hall was narrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye. If nothing goes wrong, in three minutes at most, they would be trapped by the mechanism like the seniors who had been here. Make it into meat sauce.

……

This is a test of courage!

This is a clear proof of wisdom!

This is the baptism of the soul!

No matter which one, it is an extremely severe test for a new mage who is only 17 years old.

The other four people all shed cold sweat.

In their opinion, this master, who seemed to have incredible strength, should be able to answer the question instantly and lead them through the level directly.

They were disappointed.

The exact same cold sweat actually seeped down from Downs’ forehead.

Only Towns himself knows that he may have lost his game.

For a normal mage, knowledge is power!

Only by mastering enough magic knowledge can you drive the spells and transform them into cool magics.

In the final analysis, Towns is the SSR card that was obtained through a “crash course”.

He may have unparalleled combat power that far exceeds those of the same level, and he doesn’t even need spells to drive magic, but does he… really understand magic?

Is it the kind of ‘understanding’ that is proficient in the entire process from principles to actual operation?

The pagoda spirit in front of him was like the most pungent tutor, making Tang Si, a student who was good at answering questions but not good at solving them, feel stuck for the first time since he started studying magic.

“Crack!”

The terrible sound of gears turning is like the death knell of death.

The walls of the agency kept closing.

The increasingly narrow space in front of you can easily make people panic.

Or was Pat more mature? He suddenly shouted: “If the answer is wrong, will there be any punishment?”

“There is no additional punishment!” Talling said calmly.

There is no additional punishment because the immediate punishment is enough.

Can’t answer, it’s still a dead word.

Pat’s question was nothing less than an encouragement. Downs mustered up the courage to shout: “Between two points – a straight line is the shortest!”

For a moment, the other four people thought that everything was going to be over, because this was the answer of a promising high-level mage.

Shocked expressions froze on their faces.

Because the agency wall didn’t stop at all.

“A wrong right answer!”

Ta Ling’s words are puzzling.

Right? He said you were wrong.

Wrong? He also said that you are correct in principle.

What does this mean?

Downs fell into panic, and the other four people were completely panicked.

Juan acted fiercely and rushed forward with his huge shield against the machine gun on the right, trying to delay the closing time.

It has no effect!

A huge force like a mountain collapse came from the opposite side, easily crushing his resistance. He retreated again and again.

Christine screamed: “Can you think of any other answers? Just try it!”

Wanderer John pounced on the tower spirit’s relief, trying to physically break through the damn guardian.

The four tried hard in various ways but in vain. Their screams and angry yells made Tang Si break into a cold sweat in the middle of the narrow passage.

Narrow!

Narrower!

There is less than two meters of standing space in the field of view.

Downs’ mind went blank.

However, at this critical moment, suddenly a faint voice came from Tang Si’s shoulder.

“Between two points…the fold is the shortest.”

Suddenly, this shocking narrow space stopped shrinking.
