Chapter 23 [Library, encounter](1/2)
"We will all be killed by her!"
This sentence in Tang Jili's diary is a bit terrible, but Geton can use the previous information, the dry water in the city, the appearance of Naldute now, and the secret treasure of the Time Dragon.
It can be easily inferred that Shanny's madness is likely to be related to the sand souls raging everywhere here.
Although I don’t know who came to finish the end at that time, how did the owner of the diary change?
But from the current desolate mage tower and the desolation around it, Ge Dun can judge that although the disaster released by Shanni is limited to a certain range, it has not been eliminated yet.
The next page of the diary does not record life as usual. From the last sentence, it also implies the end of the master.
In other words, before leaving to find the treasure of Time Dragon, Holmdan had never come back to Apoll. Since that time...
Otherwise, his brigade master's note would not have said the current situation or experience of the Pillar of Dome.
Unless Holmdan intends to trick himself, through a series of operations in the Fairy Wilderness, Gordon still tends to have never returned to the White Pillar of the Apoll world.
He just abandoned this expensive tower here...
Although I don’t know how the disaster Tang Jili mentioned in the end was solved.
But after Gordon knew that Holmour Dan had never returned, he was no longer interested in the follow-up. After all, the result was all in front of him. The rampage of the Sand Soul Legion was obvious, and the wave of sealing disaster failed.
Now it just wants to put the relics of this tower into its arms with peace of mind, and then slowly pull the wool of the Shadow of the Sand Soul outside, thereby enhancing its strength and protecting itself and the people around it in the turmoil of the gods and the catastrophe of the saints.
By the way, I don’t know how Celia and Nina are doing? Did the shapeshift monster act according to his plan, and whether the Olule incident in the North ended...
While Ge Dun thought, he, who was lying on the bedroom carpet, quickly closed the diary in front of him with his claws and put it in a dimensional bag, so that he could read it at any time in the future.
Then its pair of front paws moved forward and stretched its cat body, which was stiff due to long-term lying reading. Then, regardless of the messy wrinkles of the carpet, he left the room straight, with steady steps, obviously he had digested the information he had just learned from the diary and was about to continue exploring upwards.
On the sixth floor, Goton learned from Tang Jili's diary that there is a reception hall and a restaurant, a leisure room and other functions. The harvest there must be nothing except the glass ball used to monitor.
However, when Gordon stood at the rotating hub of the sixth floor, looking at the transparent glass room made of unknown materials at the end of the hanging corridor, and the magnificent desert view outside the tower, it still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The mage tower hundreds of years ago was so high-tech and so good at playing!
The 360-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window is still one-way - it had not seen any glass outside the Mage Tower except the hexagram, all of which are black and gray.
These mages are really willing to spend huge amounts of money to increase their comfort experience, or when they reach the realm of legendary mage, they are still a spellcaster with the profession of legendary brigade mage, and there is a high probability that they will not be short of money!
Gordon prefers the latter. After all, whether it is the demon lord of the bottomless abyss or the devil's grand duke of the Nine Prisons, they seem to be short of money and are not interested in gold coins, silver coins, etc. at all.
The money there is all the use of biological souls as units...
The monetary system of the multiverse still relies entirely on the inheritance of the dragon, and it doesn’t matter these monetary systems that seem unbalanced at first glance.
Because whether it is the abyss, the main material plane, or the orderly Nine Prisons, in essence, the same thing is the saying, big fists are the hard truth. Even if you have a wealthy family, when facing a life-and-death crisis, those wealth will only accelerate your death, rather than stagnation, or breaking money and avoiding disasters, the White Dragon is a good example.
Any adventurer or businessman who tries to bribe Bailong may die because of the amount of wealth he has taken out.
Compared with other people's gifts, the cunning white dragon prefers to be a hunter to get the reward it deserves.
The search for the sixth floor is faster than the fifth floor, because there is nothing to stop you from seeing. The only thing that can be truly valuable on the sixth floor is probably the restaurant tableware, all of which are made of silver, and a few are mixed with gold and broken gems.
It looks elegant and luxurious and extremely valuable.
The overall value is about two thousand gold coins.
It was also an unexpected surprise. Ge Dun helped to keep it directly. It was not good to put it in the restaurant and it was useless.
After the tableware harvest was over, Geton's luck on the sixth floor was not so good. There was nothing else except finding a few bone sculptures with artistic and ornamental value on the cabinet in the leisure room.
About three thousand gold coins.
This is all the harvest that Gordon has gained on the sixth floor.
Compared to ordinary adventures of the same level, the wealth from this breeze is extremely profitable.
But for a legendary wizard tower that no one has ever entered.
Obviously this is at its peak.
After sweeping the sixth floor, I didn't even get 10,000 gold coins. I'm afraid no one dared to believe it if I said it.
But that's the truth. Less than seven thousand gold coins are all the gains of Geton.
Of course, these cannot be counted as those books. If the value of the books is sold, they can be sold for hundreds or thousands.
Thinking of this, Geden felt a little pain and happiness towards the next seventh and eighth floor.
After all, according to the diary, the seventh and eighth floors are among the white pillars of the dome. Apart from the collection room of the Holmold, the most important place is the library!
The library of the Mage Tower is mostly a region used to store spell books, knowledge manuals, and records that all kinds of mages must record.
Basically, the library is the place to store books. The bookshelf and storage compartment are neatly arranged on the wall, and tables and chairs are placed in the center of the room for easy research. Some wizards will also add some useful features to their library.
As a legendary wizard's library, the ones that can be included in the legendary wizard's library are definitely not ordinary spells and knowledge. For example, enlightenment books such as "How is a Mage Refined" have been completely eliminated, and are likely to be remote, unpopular, powerful and valuable books on spells.
Thinking of this, you can imagine how spectacular the things inside would be if converted into gold coins.
So, Gorton didn't even stay on the sixth floor, the observation deck that could overlook the nearby sand dunes for a while, and then the cat kept heading to the next floor.
Library in Holmdain.
Unlike the magnificent and atmospheric reception room on the sixth floor, the first image the library on the seventh floor gives Geton is mystery!
Because of this floor, there is no floating corridor connecting the stair hub and the walls as usual.
The hub railing has only one gap, which corresponds to the gate painted with exquisite patterns on the opposite wall with more than five meters high.
Gorton, who had a diary as a reserve of knowledge, was not panicked. It quickly realized why this was because the corridors on the sixth and seventh floors of the library were originally only after holding the token of Holmold, that is, the recognition of the Taling, would the corridor appear and let people pass through.
If the tower spirit is not recognized, under the operation of the forbidden air magic array and the alarm trap on the gate, any thief who wants to enter the library silently and steal others' efforts will be basically eliminated.
At that time, if someone dared to steal or destroy the magic array in the mage tower and flew close to the library, it would take less than ten seconds.
A small team of steel and stone golems with at least eighth level will fall from the sky and stomp the thieves into meat pies for his master.
But now it is different. After experiencing the collapse of the mage tower, the catastrophe swept, and the magic net collapsed.
From the situation in the first and second floors, whether it is the alarm traps in the tower, the golem guards, or other magic circles, they may have stopped operating.
Even if there is no destruction, the energy in the lowest energy pool has long been exhausted and they cannot be activated.
So, Geun was relieved to return to his original form.
So, a ripples of space swept by and appeared out of thin air on the spiral staircase. The black dragon in the center of the hub immediately spread its wings. It slammed lightly, carrying countless stair chips falling to the ground. It had left the hub and slung in front of the seventh floor iron door.
Although the iron gate is not as fragile as paper-paste in front of the dragon, with the sound of tooth-sourcing metal twisting and the irregular deformation of the iron gate in front of you, it is enough to see that even if it is made of watering of fine iron, in front of the dragon, it is tantamount to being a mantis armed in a car.
Soon, with the emergence of an irregular oval hole deep enough to accommodate the tree man passing through, the black dragon disappeared into the tower again, and only the iron gate had scratches and gravures, proving the traces of its past.
Geden, who once again transformed into a black cat, had already penetrated into the hole that was as bright as the inner wall of the tower, emitting white light.
After Geden recovered his vision, he found that he was already in a giant corridor about eight meters high and sixteen meters long. Both sides and the ceiling were inlaid with white crystals that emitted the same light as incandescent lamps at any time. This magical mineral was obviously not affected by the magic tides and the collapse of the magic net, and the withering and collapse in the tower did not affect its natural shimmer.
Just like hundreds of years ago, it illuminated the roads under Ge Dun's feet one by one.
And after a corner, a curved room that is higher and more extensive than the corridor appears in Gordon's vision.
At the same time, seven or eight were filled with thick books, and bookshelf more than 20 meters high were presented one by one before Ge Dun.
In the shadow behind the bookshelf, there are countless outlines of bookshelves, so why are there hundreds of books on it?
“It’s really…”
Geden looked at the lines, rows of books with information marked on the covers in various languages, and was a little excited for a moment.
Books are the ladder to human progress, and even dragons are no exception.
After all, whether it is the popular education in the previous life or the innate dragon inheritance in this life, it has told it that knowledge is the most important!
Sometimes, knowledge is power.
It's also wealth.
Even those colored dragons who love gold, silver and jewelry are greedy and eager to find knowledge, and sometimes they have to give their freedom.
Such as the advanced inheritance of various dragons - this is one of the prices most elderly dragons often pay to recruit young dragons to do things and work for them.
However, Gordon imagined the dream of using books in the Mage Tower to hire or recruit powerful spellcasters to serve it.
Wake up as the air enters this closed library and the pages turn into pieces of irregular fragments!
grass!
Damn, I forgot this!
Gotton looked at the books and wooden houses that were undergoing similar oxidation reactions in front of him, and was a little crying.
Compared to ordinary parchment rolls.
Scrolls that want to record spells and related knowledge are magic characters that are specially used to cast spells. Magic characters have higher requirements on paper than ordinary texts, and are more likely to be damaged and torn apart.
Of course, logic is that this kind of fragmentation phenomenon similar to oxidation reaction cannot appear in the library of the Mage Tower.
Because any mage who can afford a library is not stingy with casting a few constant spells to his library.
Features such as "control pests", "wishings of water", and "stagnation of items".
These characteristics can make any potential for damage to a book come down to zero.
For example, [Control Pest Control] can summon tens of thousands of trace elements in the air, and drive all borers and mice out of the library. [Water Blessing] will automatically extinguish the flames ignited on any book within the range and eliminate all the fire sources. [Item Stay] will allow all marked books in the range to remain the same as they were just placed on the bookshelf. No matter how others read, fold, damage, or tear them in the library, they will return to the bookshelf and return to their original appearance as they were.
To be continued...
