The Amber Sword

v4 Chapter 73: Mage tower

After the demon exited the perimeter of the mage tower, the battle progress outside became slower. The battle soon shifted to Nimesis and Laurenna's group, but Brando expected to rotate at least three or four times in order to completely wipe out these demons.

This time is a bit long, but fortunately he is not left with nothing to do. The first floor space in the mage tower is as big as a small square, next to the exterior wall of the square, there is 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 space above. The platform is a ring structure, and a chest wall and a stack of holes are built around it. Brando looks like a fortification in any way. Its role is self-evident and natural. After someone broke through the entrance of the mage tower, it was used to attack the enemies above the first square.

Presumably when the mage tower is still operating, it should be full of wizard's guards and young apprentices, but now there are people left there, leaving only the deadly fortifications themselves.

Even so, the Wizarding Tower is still in danger. ‘The wizard ’s things ca n’t be touched’ is a saying of the Karasu people, and the wizard ’s tower, which is the most valuable property of the wizard, is a restricted area for ordinary people.

Especially in this abandoned wizard tower, the wandering magic, the magic traps still running, has lost the master's restraint of magical puppets and dangerous creatures, plants, and even books in the bookshelf are full of mystery and unknown. For a normal person, the best way to get into the Wizarding Tower to be safe and secure is to stay motionless below.

But this constraint is only for ordinary people.

Brando knew another secret in the tower. He ordered everyone to rest in place, but then he took Akane, the little prince, and Feralas up to the third floor of the mage tower.

There is no physical connection between the third and second floors of the mage tower. Instead, twelve teleportation arrays transported manpower and supplies. The twelve teleportation arrays are marked by different colors, and Brando chose the red teleportation array without thinking.

Setting traps on the teleportation array is the most vicious and the most common way for wizards to defend their enemies.

Red is the color of warning to most people, but Brando knows that the color of these twelve teleportation arrays is more than just a warning. The Dark Tower Wizards associate them with the twelve months of the Eruin and the twelve rounds of magic moons, with different months and different conditions of profit and lack. Only one teleportation array is the real teleportation array.

And most of the other teleportation arrays will teleport you to the mountain of icy and snowy storms, or the lava earth, or the shallow sea of ​​Maroccha's hometown, and some corner of the world that you can't even name.

Although most teleportation arrays are not fatal. But the effect is more dangerous than lethal, especially for players. It is said that an unlucky egg in the "Amber Sword" rushed into the teleportation team and was sent to a kingdom called hilma. It took him a full year of real life, and after trying countless help posts on the forum, he figured out how to return to Warnde.

It is said that the action involved in the rescue of the player at that time could even be written as an epic poem that can be sung and weird. For a long time after that, players even set off a wave of travel to other worlds.

Because of the Eruin war, Brando did not personally participate in the grand occasion of the event, but he knew that the players did not really find out how many `` different worlds '' outside Warnd.

It's just that these alien worlds obviously existed a long time ago, and Traciman came from one of them. With regard to these worlds, players are more inclined to be Martha's fragment of order scattered in the vast dark world. Vond is just one of the larger pieces.

...

It took Brando some time to start the magic circle, because he found that the mana pool of the facilities inside the wizard tower was not the same as the mana pool of the high-level exorcism circle. The mana pool inside had obviously dried up. He had to use his magic crystal to drive the teleportation array.

The light flashed in front of the four, and the next moment they found that the scenery in front of them had changed. It was originally a spectacular fortification. But now it has become a long and narrow aisle—the mana pool in the wizard's tower has already dried up, and the magic lighting originally used will naturally cease to exist. If it were not for some strange glowing plants in the aisle, it is estimated that they would see it now It should be dark.

But Brando was ready. He took out the magic crystal, and the bright light immediately illuminated the corridor in front. This seemed to be the first time in a century that Bright returned to this place. Brando heard a gurgling sound, and then they all saw a large vine brushing back from the corridor as if shy, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. .

Akane was still calm, and Feralas and the little prince couldn't help but feel a little creepy when they saw the scene. They've seen a lot of things, but they haven't seen plants that can run around with long legs.

Moreover, the shape of this gangway is also a bit unsightly. This should be a walkway with marble or obsidian stone, and the walls on both sides are covered with masonry, and there will be a torch bracket at a distance from it. . Similar walkways can be seen in many castles or temples.

But this one in front of it is like this. Many broken Tenma were born from the broken masonry. The slate on the ground has been lifted east and west. The corner is like a tropical jungle covered with various plants. Most are ferns or some glowing fungi. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would imagine that it would become a plant paradise in such a place.

But that ’s what the wizard ’s place is, what people generally call ‘the miracle of magic’. It's just that this miracle is not necessarily friendly, and there is no lack of examples in folklore that things can be permanently turned into frogs.

"What is this place?" Feralas opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't help asking.

"This should be the top level of the Wizarding Tower, where the wizards live," Brando replied. Red teleportation array. The day when the magic of the harp is full in the Moon of Fire, is the only way to the upper level of the wizard tower.

"Ah ..." Haruzer suddenly whispered--although the wound on his shoulder had been bandaged, the sound of the wound still made him frown. Then the little prince said a little curiously: "These are the twelve rounds of the moon!"

"Twelve months?"

Haruze seemed to be reacting to his fuss. He was a little too rude, flushed, and whispered: "... My sister and I have heard some rumors about the wizards from the father. The black tower wizards have some unique The defense method, the twelve-round moon teleportation array is one of the most famous. The wizards designed this complex system of magic arrays based on the changes in the seasons and the monthly profit and loss on the Warnde continent. After being destroyed in an accident, no one can unlock it. "

"Even the wizard of Buga had felt sorry for this. It is said that although the proud people of silver looked down on this crude law of the circle, they admitted that it contained the most delicate astronomical and calendar calculation methods."

Haruzer's tone was a little excited: "It can even be praised by the silver people. It is undoubtedly the pride of Eruin."

Feralas pouted his lips. "Did Mr Brando untie it?"

The little prince thought about it. He couldn't help but look at Brando with admiration: "That's because the teacher is very knowledgeable, and even my sister respects Lord Earl. My sister has always been a proud person, and Master Lewoods said that her knowledge is no less good than him. . "

When he said that, he couldn't help looking at Brando with a little caution.

This was a bit awkward for Brando, who apparently heard the little prince please his own tone. Besides, the complicated calculation methods of these "passwords" are certainly not something he tinkered with, nor do they say how wise the players are. In fact, the way the players deciphered this "password" can be regarded as a model of brute force cracking. He I remember that a great guild filled it out with human life.

He didn't remember the name of the guild, but later the other party got a lot of rewards. They sold the puzzle to the Black Tower Wizard together with the magic circle itself, and it is said that they bought a city for the price.

Wizards have always been one of the most money-hungry people on Vond. Although few people see them spending their money lavishly.

"But then again, this is where the wizards live, and there must be something valuable in it?" Feras seemed to remember the legend suddenly: "I heard that every thing the wizards have is A rare darling. "

He was about to rush inside, but Brando hurriedly grabbed him, reminded angrily: "Nothing. Wizards are nothing more than magic items in their hands. Trust me, you have a lot on you, Mr. Feralas. Not every magic item is valuable. Even if it is, it is for ordinary people, not for you— "

Feralas froze. That's the reaction: "So it's true. So what are we doing here?"

"You'll know in a while," Brando breathed a sigh of relief, but still reminded: "Be careful, it's a big maze. It's not the kind in your garden, some people in the wizard's maze walk in and walk away forever No, not to mention the tauren, you must not have seen the monsters that the wizards had concocted, they can eat you even without bones. "

Feralas was about to go forward. He was frightened when he said that, and hurried back: "This tower has been here for at least centuries. Will they not starve to death?"

"Have you ever seen a starving monster?"

Felas blinked, as if he hadn't seen him before.

Brando then raised the lighting crystal and walked forward. Although the surrounding plants were strangely shaped, he looked at basically harmless plants. The wizards like to plant aggressive offensive Nepenthes and Serpentine vines. I haven't seen them here, but I think it's because these two plants are carnivorous vegetation. When no one feeds It is estimated that they can't live long.

He followed the guidelines of the Raiders in his memory, crossed the five closed doors, turned left, and then walked about a hundred steps forward. With his reminder, Feralas, Akane, and the little prince tried not to look at the doors. In fact, even if Brando did not say that they had heard similar stories, doors are a mysterious word for wizards. Their Most of the doors lead to mysterious alien dimensions, and once mortals enter, don't even think about coming back. These stories are hard to tell, but it's best not to be a joke.

After almost a hundred steps, Brando stopped. He did see a remains in the grass in front.

It wasn't the wizard's skeleton, because the skeleton was still wearing conspicuous armor. When the first player in the game found it, it was in this position. The player thought that the bone should be an adventurer who entered here later. As for how they found the wizard tower, it is unknown, but according to his analysis, the The owner of the bones should be a warrior-type character in this team of adventurers.

As for the cause of his death?

Brando turned his head and looked closely at the grass. At this time he noticed that Haruzer's face was 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."

"He's the wizard's guard, how could he die here?" Feralas 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 hands. He stabbed it with a sword and immediately nailed it to the ground.

With a squeaked scream, a dark mass struggled under Brando's sword, then broke his breath. The others looked closely and realized that it was a weasel-like creature.

"What is this?" Feralas frowned slightly.

"This is Itachi."

"You said a ferret killed this guy?" The young knight from Cruz stared exaggeratedly: "Will I be killed by my hound in the future?"

Brando is a bit speechless about the metaphor, and besides, he thinks that if this guy's IQ is not lucky enough, he might be bitten by a dog. It's no strange thing that Vond was bitten by a dog anyway. Even the dusk dogs they will face for a while, they are canine dogs.

"This is the magic pet," he replied.

"Magic pet?" Feralas then responded: "You mean a wizard who killed him, and there are wizards in this tower?" He suddenly got a little creepy.

The little prince immediately looked around.

Qian didn't answer, but just silently held the azure lance. (To be continued ...)
