Chapter 7: Chief of the Black Tower, an immortal page
Looking at Gu Fei'er seriously holding the lunch box and going away, I have to say that the word "work" evokes his memories of the earth.
It also allowed him to find out where this sense of disobedience was.
He looked around, and there was a surge of people, and the mages came out of the Black Tower, talking in whispers, or gathering together with lunch boxes.
The entire Black Tower was like a huge honeycomb, countless mages came in and out, and now it was the meal, the yin and yang were handed over, the lights were dim, and if it weren't for those brooms flying around, Ian would even feel like he was back on Earth.
"How are we going to get there?" Ian got out of the carriage and crossed his hands on his hips, showing no discomfort.
"Young Master...... Isn't it...... Do you want to report it?" Kars flew timidly and quickly circled back. The Black Tower is surrounded by green water, and the carriage cannot walk through it.
"Mages are all flying, huh, do you think I can learn one and a half moves?"
"You're a nobleman, you should be able to study in the Black Tower......" Kars may have forgotten a lot of things, scratching his head.
"If you want to study in the Black Tower, you need the approval of the Black Tower for ten pages. Nemesis put his hands behind his back: "Gufier is also a nobleman. ”
"Hey, can you give me a ride?" Ian shouted at the three sorceresses, turning to Nemesis without replying to him.
The three girls were about to go back on their brooms, but when they looked back, they fell down again.
"Who is this man?"
Ian ...... IV. Someone pointed to the token next to Ian.
"It's the panicker. ”
"That?"
"The one who says he is God. ”
"Really? Is there really that man? I thought they lied to me hahaha. ”
One of them leaned the broom closer, lifted his hood, revealed a playful little face, and held out his hand to Ian and said, "Come, I'll take you to the Black Tower." ”
As soon as Ian took a step forward, the sorceress snapped her fingers, and the broom flew forward, leaving only a tail of dust.
Hearty laughter came, and many people's eyes were attracted, and Ian IV's token was very conspicuous, and at this moment, everyone began to point fingers.
As for Ian's aristocracy, it seems that no one really cares. Each Black Tower mage has a token by their side with their name and position written on it, without distinction.
"Ian IV, that's Ian IV. ”
"Did you hear about him participating in that panic?"
"I did the math, you see, I think he must have lied 80 percent of the time. ”
"You're right, my model can calculate 85%. ”
As they spoke, many people bowed their heads and began to write and draw, and then, somehow, they scattered again, going back to the Black Tower, and eating and eating.
Noticed, snubbed and snubbed, Ian shrugged and didn't say anything.
"Young master, why don't you let Nemesis take you there, you don't have any equipment with you. ”
Nemesis stepped up, ready to carry Ian on his shoulders and jump over the lake.
But Ian looked up at the Black Tower, which was hundreds of meters away, just like looking at the old office building, and the eyes of a reborn child could also clearly see the small things in mid-air around the Black Tower.
Those devices are like winged eyes.
Monitor.
The Black Tower is a Tower of Mages, but everything here has a modern feel. He could understand that the doors and lights that opened automatically, the brooms and the monitors in mid-air were all the work of magic, but when all of them were combined, people's actions and temperaments were too similar to those of a modern school or office building.
It's like, somebody is pushing for all this.
"No, I think they know I'm coming. Ian grabbed the token hovering beside him and looked up at the top of the tower.
At the top of the Black Tower, a white falcon flew into the arm of an old man, who saw everything in the falcon's eyes, and when he lowered his head, Ian IV, who was standing by the lake, seemed to be close at hand.
And he said. The old man was full of white hair, and the wrinkles on his face were like old bark, but the sharp claws of the falcon could not leave a trace on the seemingly weak skin: "I have something, let him wait." ”
A wellwritten note appeared out of thin air in the air, and the falcon swooped down to grab it, and the next moment, it was delivered to Ian.
Ian opened it and walked back to the carriage to wait.
The Lord of the Black Tower saw all this, his cloudy eyes flashed with great doubt, and he did not walk back to his throne, but stood at the top of the tower, staring at the carriage of Ian IV under the tower.
The uneventful night passed quickly, the moon hung high in the sky, and the Lord of the Black Tower reviewed a lot of documents, stretched and walked to the edge of the Black Tower, and found that there was no movement in the carriage.
"What's going on? Page Nine, are you there?" said Immortal Page into the air.
"Immortal-sama, are you looking for me? I'm a little busy right now. The voice of the nine pages came from the void.
"You can help me see, what is Ian IV doing in the carriage?"
"Immortal Lord...... I really ......."
"If you can't lie, don't lie, I won't lie to you in terms of performance. ”
"Ian IV in the carriage...... Eating, my spirit smelled the chicken legs. ”
"Chicken legs?"
"Yes, chicken legs. Immortal, can I go and get busy? I'm really busy, at least I'm going to be busy. "The Nine Pages of the Spirit is a girl riding a white tiger, even if it is a remote video, there is a scene of a coniferous forest behind it.
Immortal Page withdrew his magic, pacing back and forth at the top of the tower with his hands behind his back, sometimes looking up at the bright moon, or looking into the distance. The Black Tower is the border of the north, and further north you can see the snow-capped mountains, which are the power of the Black Tower, full of magical blessings.
After thinking for a while, Immortal Page commanded his falcon again.
"Ask Ian IV to come up, and I'll say it's what I said. ”
It was already close to midnight, and many mages had left the Black Tower one after another. There was a place to live behind the Black Tower, and of course, there were people like Gufier who went to Ian IV's hometown after school.
The country is not large, or rather, the main positions of several major powers, in fact, not far from the capital. He had read the map in the carriage, and the topography and climate from the Black Tower to the north were probably the same as those north of Yanjing on Earth.
Soon, he received a message from the Blacktower Falcon.
He wiped his greasy hands, subconsciously made the action of pulling out his mobile phone, and then grabbed the falcon again, so that he could hold a live eagle, and he was caught and fluttered and did not dare to resist.
"Let me go up and go. He lifted the curtain, and at some point a road appeared in the river in front of the carriage. Kars behind him looked surprised, but Ian jumped out of the car in the blink of an eye and walked directly into the Black Tower.
The Black Tower, a sacred place for mages. The hundred-meter-high colossal space houses all the mages and primordial texts in the world, and by magic alone, these tens of thousands of people are self-sufficient, and the barren north is assigned to them, which is very suitable.
"Young Master, aren't you afraid that he will lie to you?" Kars followed Ian's footsteps: "He didn't let you go up before, but now he suddenly lets you go up, maybe it's fake." ”
"Not really. Ian looked down at the neat marble staircase and looked around, "Isn't there an elevator?"
"Elevator?"
"It's the kind of thing that can go straight to the top. ”
"There's a magic circle over there. A passing mage showed him the way.
"Thank you. Ian turned his head and walked in the opposite direction, and the man who pointed the way scratched his head and began to reflect on whether there was something wrong with him, and the other party saw through his lie without thinking about it.
"Young master, I think you have a good ability to read lies. Kars asked, "Do you think the Lord of the Black Tower is not lying to us?"
"It's not lying. Ian pointed to his temple and said, "That's reasoning." The Lord of the Black Tower knows I'm here, and if he hadn't sent a message, I might have gone up myself. If he had spoken, we would have met. Whether he lies or not, I'm waiting for the magic he invites me to go up, and that's enough. ”
The scenery in front of him was speeding away, and the magic array teleported Ian upward, really like the elevator of the earth. Ian looked at the scenery in the distance, calmly and slowly became apprehensive, he subconsciously took half a step back, a little farther away from the exit of the teleportation array.
"Do you know who we're going to meet? Nemesis, what do you know about the Black Tower?"
"The Black Tower has its own rank system, and to put it simply, the higher the floor, the stronger the rank. Nemesis put his hands behind his back: "The top ten floors belong to the ten pages of the Black Tower, each with its own strengths and duties." ”
"But why should we be invited to be invited by our butler?"
He started the elevator by himself when he got on it, and as for how many floors he went to, it all depended on the other party's will. After all, this is the territory of the Black Tower, and his father may have something to do with it, but in any case, it is certain that someone will covet the fragrant food of Ian IV.
Ian doesn't like to lie, but he's not stupid either.
As long as he doesn't die on the day he panics, he won't die easily. This is the same as the stock market, as long as the stock price does not fall immediately, it proves that there are as many bulls as bears.
This country must have its enemies, and it must also have its friends. Since his butler is a mage, there is a high probability that the Black Tower belongs to his own camp.
But, why is this magic array getting higher and higher?
It's cold in the heights.
A cold wind blew into his collar.
Here, is the top floor of the Black Tower.
"Young master, let's go back, I see it's already ...... Not...... It's not topped. ”
"Well, go down...... Why go down, there's no button here......"
"Master Ian, I can take you out. Nemesis looked at the walls around the magic circle and wanted to try his hand at it.
But in the next second, the magic array disappeared. Darkness covered everything, it was like a cramped room, and Ian was looking around, and poof, a candle was lit, illuminating the passage in front of him, and the two mirrors beside him.
This feels very similar to Gu Feier's technique.
"What does this mean?" Ian didn't step forward immediately, and there was nothing strange in the mirror, he carefully straightened his clothes, stared at the throne looming at the end of the passage, and his hand was tucked into his sleeve.
"Young master, this is the top floor. ”
"The top floor?" Ian tilted his head to look at Nemesis.
"Chief of the Black Tower, the office of the immortal page. ”
"I don't really understand, can this encyclopedia ...... Details?"
Nemesis was about to speak, but as soon as Ian finished speaking, an old man's voice came from the end of the passage.
"Ian IV, come in when you're ready. ”
