MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1 Great Sage's Tower
The half-decayed three-story stone tower is covered with vines and moss, and the crows nesting on the top protrusion are chirping loudly. A baby bird learning to fly, standing by the nest, flapping its wings. The chirping of insects not far away is tempting the birds to hunt for food.
The stone pagoda surrounded by the forest, even if it is half tilted, still stands proudly. A small open space around the stone tower seems to indicate its inviolability. But the plants clinging to the tower, or the small animals living here, show their intimate side.
The three of them walked through the forest path with a little sunshine, and suddenly appeared in front of the open space and the dazzling sunlight, which made it difficult for people to adapt for a while. When the eyes get used to the sudden strong light, the stone pagoda bathed in the sun comes into view, which is the destination of this trip.
In the 12th year of the Aran calendar (723), Gabrash Lin Tripwood, who holds the title of magician, finally has a magic tower of his own.
"Teacher, is this the Tower of the Great Sage?"
Following behind, the blond-haired, fair-skinned girl who was one of the apprentices asked in an inexplicable tone. Carrying a backpack that was almost bigger than himself, with an expression of admiration or disappointment, or two intertwined expressions, he looked up at the scenery in front of him.
Another girl with black hair and brown skin and two braids said in a cold tone: "The location of the magic map is displayed here. If you doubt it, stick the contract certificate on the door panel and see if it can be activated." gone."
"I know those things. It's just..." The blond girl hesitated to speak, looked at the elders beside her, and said, "I'm a little surprised."
"What you want to say is disappointment, Harumi." Rubbing the girl's fluffy blond hair, Lin didn't care about others' comments. In fact, that's what he thought too. But realistically, we can't ask for more.
Slowly came to the huge wooden door. Perhaps it is also protected by magic, so that the wooden door maintains its original function, heavy and thick, making people daunting. Although the iron bars and rivets on the door are not brand new and shiny, there is no rust. The dull metallic color seemed to have been baptized by countless blood, telling the fact that it was impossible to forcefully break through this door.
Take out the kraft paper scroll from the Magic Association from the scroll box that you carry, on which are code words recorded with special energy lines, which are used to gain control of this magic tower, and of course it must be used to open the door. There is no spell to open the door with sesame seeds on it. The usage of the scroll is like a key. Unfold it and stick it on the door.
The energy flowed on the wooden door for a while, and finally came to Lin Na's right hand holding the scroll through the scroll, and branded a special colorful mark on the back of the hand, and then disappeared under the skin. At the same time, the door opened.
The creaking sound of opening the door is like the soliloquy of the tower, whispering its own years and rich history. The opening of the door gradually reveals 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 beams of sunlight falling in, illuminating most places. Lin thought for a while, and after seeing the big opening on the top of the tower, he couldn't help but understand.
"Do you want to go in directly? Teacher." Hallomi raised her head and asked the man who had not entered the tower for a long time.
Feeling the short message from the imprint, Lin knew that the damage of the magic tower made it possible for other creatures to live here as a lair even if the gate was intact. Moreover, it is a small settlement with more than ten lives. More detailed information is impossible to know, unless you enter the core room of the magic tower, you can really control everything.
Looking back at the two apprentices and thinking for a while, Lin said, "Kaya, this time you stay behind." He pointed to the biggest tree at the edge of the forest. "We're setting up positions over there."
Having followed her teacher for several years and was already familiar with each other's habits in adventure journeys, the brown-skinned girl came to the designated location and took out a short wand. The incantation sounded softly, and under the command of the magic wand, the shaping technique raised the land to form a small semi-shielded cave.
The cave is not deep, just enough for three people to put their luggage in, and the small mound covered by the girl Kaya alone. She cast another spell of listening on herself, which allowed her to hear whispers in the air and the voices of animals. Although it is only a general meaning and not very clear, it already has a warning effect for wild adventures. In the end, she took out a crossbow that was almost as tall as her from her luggage, used the winch to pull the bow arm, and put in the thumb-thick crossbow bolts, and everything was ready.
As for the two who were about to enter the magic tower, they put down their extra things and only carried a light scroll box. In addition to the cane, Lin also carried a short sword that was suitable for his hand. The maiden Harumi had a buckler and a dagger. Then both of them blessed themselves with three sets of magic techniques: Juli, Stone Skin, and Wind Barrier. The first two are easy to understand, and the last spell can bounce ordinary bows and arrows or other types of throwing weapons.
yes! That's right! These three people are a combination of a magician and a magic apprentice! It's just that the magicians in this world are most accustomed to fighting by adding a Buffer to themselves, and then fighting head-to-head with the enemy. A weak magician who can only hide behind a warrior and rub fireballs does not exist in this world, or that kind of person will soon be called by God and become everyone's memory and negative example.
In addition, Lin also took out an additional wooden ring and sprinkled some magic stone powder in the groove of the ring. Whispers of summoning a golem, summoning a clay puppet nearly two people tall. Of course, the summons that cost the magic stone powder will not have much intelligence or powerful abilities. But as a pathfinder and meat shield, it is more than enough.
He handed over the ring to Hallumi, which also represented the transfer of command of the clay puppet to the girl. As soon as the two got together, they headed towards the magic tower in the order of clay doll, Harumi, and Lin. Using clay puppets to open the way and lure the enemy, Lin as the rear guard, and at the same time guarding against possible enemies from behind, this is the tactical formation used by the three masters and apprentices.
A low-level summoning object from the elemental world, a clay doll has no feet, and it must be connected to the ground to exist, whether it is soil or a stone slab, but it cannot jump or swim. It can move on the bottom of the river. Although the huge stature has the disadvantage of obscuring the field of vision, it can also prevent most frontal attacks. Harumi skillfully controlled the progress of the clay puppet and went straight into the tower.
"Remember the layout of the Great Sage's Tower. Go directly to the core room. After controlling the magic tower, it will be easier to eliminate the remaining enemies." Lin clearly stated the goal and direction of this time. At the same time, it is also a reminder to the girl that there is no need to bother to search for possible enemies. After mastering the core of the tower, any creature will have nowhere to hide.
The two proceeded cautiously together.
Years of low-level adventure experience made Lin clearly know that all creatures in this world are dangerous. Even herbivores have one or two deadly attack methods. Give someone a hard time, and then try to escape, that's what 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 increase their survival rate by fleeing for their lives have long been extinct.
So in the wild, UU reads www.uukanshu. When encountering any creature, one cannot be too cautious. The girl who walked ahead had the same cognition. She had learned countless lessons in the past few years, but she had to engrave these knowledge deeply in her mind.
Walking into the first floor, the two did not advance rashly, but stopped to observe the situation on the first floor. The layout of the magic tower is very simple, unlike most castles, it also shoulders the function of defense, so the internal passage is designed to be curved. In particular, this tower has a history of thousands of years, and the structure of the magic tower in that period was even simpler.
The hall is in a rhombus pattern, with one room in each of the four directions. Although the part on the east side has been damaged and the wall is still there, the ceiling and the part on the second floor are seriously damaged, which is the main part that allows the light to shine in. In the center is a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor.
The layout on the second floor has more rooms connected by a circular walkway. The core rooms of all magic towers and the rooms used by the tower owner are located on the top floor, which is the part on the third floor. Also usually the strongest part. The damage to this tower was in another part that did not belong to the core room.
The doors of the four rooms on the first floor are still intact, so the possibility of an ambush can be ruled out. As for the damaged part on the east side, there are only a few skylights 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 door of the room cannot be opened freely. Those uninvited guests who live here can only enter and exit through the damaged opening, and there is no way to open and close the door.
Controlling the clay puppet to go to the second floor, Lin and Harumi were several steps behind. If the creatures that inhabit it are intelligent, this place is the best place to ambush. Sure enough, as soon as the clay puppet emerged, it heard several popping sounds of hard objects falling into the ground, as well as the unique scream of goblins.
