Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

The half-tilted three-story stone tower is covered with vines and moss, and the crows nesting on the top protrusion are crowing loudly. Learning to fly young birds, standing by the nest, flapping their wings. Insect Cry, one after another not far away, is tempting the birds to go for food.

The stone tower surrounded by the forest stands proudly even though it is half tilted. The small open space around the stone tower seemed to indicate its inviolability. But the plants clinging to the tower, or the small animals living here, showed a close side.

Three people, passing through the forest path with a little bit of sunlight, suddenly appeared in front of the open space and the dazzling sunlight, which made it difficult for people to adapt for a while. When his eyes got used to the sudden bright light, the stone tower bathed in the sun suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. This was the destination of this trip.

In the year of DCCXXIII (723) in Aranian calendar, passing through this Twelfth year, Gabrach ‧ Lin ‧ Tripwood, who holds the title of magician, finally owns a magic tower of his own.

“teacher, is this the Tower of the Great Sage?”

Following behind, the blond and blonde girl who was one of the apprentices asked in an inexplicable tone . Carrying a backpack that is about to be bigger than himself, with a pair of expressions that I don’t know whether it is admiration or disappointment, or two interlaced expressions, he looks up at the scenery in front of him.

Another girl with black hair and brown skin and two braids said coldly: “The location of the magic map is displayed here. If in doubt, stick the contract voucher on the door panel. , I’ll know if I can start it.”

“I know those things. It’s just…” The blonde girl stopped talking, looked at the seniors around her, and said, “Somewhat surprised. “

“What you want to say is disappointment, Hallumi.” Rubbing the girl’s fluffy blonde hair, Lin didn’t care about others’ comments. In fact, that’s what he thought. But as far as the reality is concerned, it is impossible to force more.

Slowly came to the huge wooden door. Perhaps it is still protected by magic, allowing the wooden door to maintain its original function, heavy and thick, making people daunting. Although the iron bars and rivets on the door are not brand new and shiny, they do not show any signs of rust. The dull metallic color seems to have been overtaken by countless blood baptism, telling the fact that it is impossible to forcibly break this door.

Take out the kraft paper roll obtained from the Magic Association from the scroll box you carry. On it is the secret language recorded with special energy patterns. It is used to gain control of the magic tower. Of course, it must be used. Come to open the door. There is no incantion of opening the door with sesame seeds on the top. The scroll is used like a key, just unfold it and stick it on the door leaf.

The energy flowed through the wooden door for a while, and finally came to Lin’s right hand holding the scroll through the scroll, and branded a special multicolored mark on the back of his hand, and then disappeared under the skin. At the same time, the door opened.

The creaking sound of the door opening is like the muttering of the tower, whispering the years and rich history that he has. The opening of the door gradually revealed the hall of the magic tower. The inside is not as dark and dilapidated as imagined, but the lighting is not bad, with a few rays of sunlight coming in and illuminating most places. Lin thought for a while, looking at the big opening at the top of the tower, he couldn’t help but understand.

“Would you like to go directly in? Teacher.” Hallumi raised her head and asked the man who had been slow to enter the tower.

Feeling the short message of the imprint feedback, Lin knew that the magic tower was damaged, so that even if the gate was not damaged, other creatures used it as a caveman to live in. And it’s still a small settlement with more than a dozen lives. More detailed information cannot be known, unless you enter the core room of the magic tower, you can truly control everything.

Looking back at the two apprentices, after thinking about it, Lin said, “Kaya, this time you will stay with you.” Pointing to the largest tree on the edge of the forest. “We build a position over there.”

Following my teacher for several years and already familiar with the habits of each other’s adventure journey, the brown-skinned girl came to the designated location and took out a short magic wand. Incantation whispered softly, and under the command of the magic wand, the shaping technique raised the ground to form a small semi-shielded cave.

The cave is not deep, it is enough to put the luggage of three people, and the small mound covered by the girl Kaya alone. She applied a listening magic to herself, and she could hear the whispers in the air and the sounds of animals. Although it’s just a general meaning, it’s not very clear, but it has a warning effect on wild adventures. Finally, she took out a crossbow that was almost as tall as her from the bag, used the winch to open the bow arm, and put on the crossbow arrow with the thickness of the thumb, everything was considered ready.

As for the two people who are going to enter the magic tower, they put down the extra things on their bodies and only carry a light scroll box. In addition to his walking stick, Lin also held a short sword that was worthy of his hand. Girl Hallumi is a small round shield and a dagger. Then both of them blessed themselves with three sets of magic techniques: Great Strength, Stone Skin, and Formation of Wind. The first two are easy to understand, and the last spell can bounce off ordinary bows and arrows or other types of throwing weapons.

Yes! That’s right! These three people are a combination of magician and magic apprentice! It’s just the magician of this World. The most accustomed battle method is to add a Buffer to oneself, and then fight with the enemy to meet force with force. A frail and weak magician who can only hide behind the warrior and rub the Fireball, does not exist in this World, or that kind of person will soon be called by God and become a memory and negative teaching material for everyone.

Apart from this, Lin also took out an extra wooden ring and sprinkled some magic stone powder in the groove of the ring. The whisper of the summon demon puppet called out a mud puppet nearly two people tall. Summoners that use magic stone powder as the price of course will not have much wisdom or powerful abilities. But as a Pathfinder and meat shield, it is more than enough.

He handed the ring to Hallumi, which also represented the handing over of the command of the clay puppet to the girl. The two of them went to the magic tower in the order of mud puppets, Hallumi, and Lin. Using mud puppets to open the way and lure the enemy, Lin acts as the queen, and at the same time guards the enemies who may come behind him. This is the usual tactical formation of these three masters and disciples.

A low-level summoning thing from the elemental world, the mud puppet has no feet. Its existence must be connected to the ground, whether it is soil or slate. In short, it cannot jump or swim. It can move on the bottom of the river. Although the huge figure has the disadvantage of obscuring the field of vision, it can also prevent the overwhelming majority from attacking from the front. Hallumi is very skillful in controlling the advance of the mud doll, straight into the tower.

“Remember the layout of the Great Sage Tower. Go straight to the core room. After you control the magic tower, it is easier to eliminate the remaining enemies.” Lin clearly stated his goal this time. And direction. At the same time, it also reminds the girl that there is no need to bother to search for possible enemies. After mastering the tower core, any creature will be invisible.

The two moved forward cautiously.

Years of low-level adventure experience made it clear to Lin that all creatures in this World are dangerous. Even herbivorous animals have a deadly attack with 1-2 moves. Give people a hard time, and try to escape, this is what the creatures at the bottom of the food chain in this World will do. It can also be said that species that only know how to use escape to increase their survival rate have long since become extinct.

So in the wild, you can’t be too careful when you encounter any creatures. The girl who walked in the front had the same cognition, and there were countless lessons in the past few years, but let her portray this knowledge deeply in her mind.

Walking into the 1st floor, the two did not rush forward, but stopped to observe the status of the 1st floor. The layout of the magic tower is very simple, unlike most castles, it also shoulders the function of defense, so the internal passages are designed to be twisted. In particular, this tower has a history of thousands of years, and the structure of the magic tower at that time is even simpler.

The lobby is a diamond-shaped pattern, with one room in each of the four directions. Although the eastern part has been damaged and the wall is still there, the ceiling and the second floor are severely damaged, which is the main part that allows light to shine through. In the center is a spiral staircase leading to the upper part.

The layout of the second floor has more rooms connected by a circular walkway. And all the core rooms of the magic tower, as well as the rooms used by the tower owner, are located on the top floor, which is the part on the third floor. Usually the strongest part. The destruction of this tower was in another part of the core room.

The doors of the four rooms on the first floor are still intact, so the possibility of ambush can be ruled out. As for the damaged part on the east side, a few skylights have been opened, and there is no climbing path, so it can be ignored for the time being. In the magic tower, as long as there is no permission from the tower owner, the room door cannot be opened freely. Those uninvited guests who borrow to live here can only enter and exit through the damaged opening, and cannot open and close the door.

Controlling the mud puppet to go to the second floor, Lin and Hallumi were several steps behind. If the creatures living here are wise, this place is the best place to ambush. Sure enough, as soon as the mud puppet came out of her head, she heard several puffs of hard objects entering the ground, as well as the unique screams of goblins.
