A thousand degrees, the imperial city of Sicil, the time is late at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A carriage drove out of the quiet street in the middle of the night, like a fierce horse off its rope, galloping wildly, in the direction of the gate of the imperial city.

The streets of Cicile City are generally smooth, there are no uneven roads, and the streets are very wide, and the coachmen driving the carriages, facing bends and sudden braking, will smoothly avoid passers-by.

Of course, it was late at night, and there weren't many people on the streets, except for those who worked at night.

In addition, it was the fastest speed, and after the carriage came out of the palace, it would normally take at least forty minutes to reach the city gate, but now it only took twenty-five minutes.

"Your Majesty, we came out without a hitch. ”

The bridge pulled the reins, slowed it down, and looked over to Christie, who was sitting in the carriage.

"Let's go down, the carriage is here. ”

Christie's voice was heard from the carriage, and Bridge and Luke jumped down, leaving the coachman's place, and as soon as they turned around, they saw Christie also jumping out of the carriage.

"Don't worry about the carriage, come with me. This forest is a dense forest, we can only walk through it, and the road inside is not easy to walk, even if we bring light, we must always watch our feet. Christie reminded them, to be precise, Luke, who was still entering the forest for the first time.

"The first time Asa followed us into the woods was during the day, when he was thrown by a rock on the ground, but luckily he didn't hit the stone on the ground, just a tree. Later, he recuperated for a while before getting better. The bridge added that some of the past was mentioned.

"Trap?"

"It's not a trap, it's just something to fix people. Christie smiled, "Because I don't want anyone else to come near here." ”

"What's here?"

"That's it. Christie pointed to the sky.

It was dark, not to mention the dense forest, and the trees blocked the view, but despite this, Luke looked up at the sky.

“……”

Luke paused, struggling to look at the sky, and suddenly, he spotted a vague outline.

"...... that?"

When Luke came to the city of Cyrille, every time he walked down the street, he saw a very tall tower in the sky in the distance. Luke looked at it many times, but never knew what would be inside the tower.

"The tower?"

"That's right, the tallest tower in the Thousand Degrees Kingdom, no, it would be more accurate to say that it is the tallest tower in the entire Vogulite Continent. ”

"There are eighty-one floors in this tower. Bridge said.

"No, I've counted, it's only seventy-one. ”

"Do you really have the patience to count it layer by layer? Indeed, from the ground, it is only seventy-one. But it wasn't just seventy-one, the other ten were below. ”

"Underground?"

"This tower was originally built by the order of the first queen of the kingdom of Qiandu, when it was only twenty floors, and the first queen left an order for her successors to repair it to eighty-one floors. When the first woman built the tower, she first built ten floors underground. Then, every queen, including my mother, carried out this order and built it higher. ”

"A few hundred years ago, the tower was half as tall as it is now. ”

"By the time my mother, the previous queen, finally built the last floor. Now that it is my turn, there is no need to continue to rebuild this tower. ”

Christie said as she walked, and she also smiled, "I feel very honored, except for my mother and me, the previous queens have not seen this eighty-one-story tower, I don't know if the ghosts of the previous queens are willing." ”

"For our royal family, this tower and a golden palace far away from here are the greatest treasures of our royal family. ”

"Miracles. ”

Two short words indicate Luke's thoughts.

"It is indeed a miracle that this tower has never fallen down for so many years, and it has been preserved to the present. ”

The bridge looked at the tall tower that was about to arrive, and he was also emotional.

"Because the royal family sends five hundred magicians every year to strengthen this tower, by the way, in addition to being called the Tower of the Ancestors, this tower also has a name, which is the Mage Tower. ”

"Because of five hundred magicians?"

"Once you enter, you will understand why this tower has this name, it is definitely not because of the five hundred magicians, but the situation inside the tower. Therefore, the tower is not open to outsiders. ”

As they spoke, they passed through several trees, and many rays of light passed through the cracks in the trees, and through the last tree, the mage tower was in front of them.

Luke looked up at the top of the Mage's Tower, but he couldn't see the top of the tower.

"You can't see the top of it unless you go to the top floor. ”

“……”

Christie walked to the door of the Mage Tower, it was a stone door, there was a key hole in the door, Christie took out a star-shaped key, inserted it, and turned the key. Then, the ground trembled slightly, and the stone gate slowly rose and rose.

"Let's go inside. ”

"The doors inside are all single, there are stairs in front, we have to go down, we can only go from the first basement floor to the top floor. ”

Christie walked in front, the bridge followed her, and Luke walked last.

Before entering, Luke looked back.

"Wind?"

"Luke, why can't you come?"

"I'm here. ”

Luke was expressionless, and shook his head inwardly, probably an illusion.

Upon entering the tower, the trio descended a spiral staircase that continued downward, with nothing but this staircase around.

"The door is single, we can only get to the first basement level, and this staircase leads to the first basement floor. ”

There was a bottomless look below, and the three of them walked for a while, but still did not get out of this staircase, as if it was an endless staircase that could never be walked out.

Christie hummed a tune as if she was happy, and Luke heard her say, "We've probably gone five floors, and we're still five floors before we reach the first floor." ”

"There are also four floors. ”

Christie seemed familiar with the place, naming a location every few minutes.

"Now it's the third layer. ”

Three minutes later, she continued, "It's on the second floor. ”

"Half of the second floor. ”

"The door to the first floor is almost here. ”

"There's light down there. ”

"Alright, here we are, this is the doorway to the first floor. ”

The light grew brighter and brighter, and Christie, who was walking in front, was the first to arrive, and in front of her, there was a glowing door.

Both Jialu and Qiao subconsciously covered their eyes, walking in the dark for too long, and suddenly they were uncomfortable.

"That's actually the first pitfall. Paralysizing people's gaze, thinking that when they reach the door, they just need to take one more step forward, and there will be ......"

"Countless arrows flew out. ”

The bridge was a little helpless, "Your Majesty, stop playing." ”

"So, we're going to take a big stride, it's better to jump over it, remember this red line, the pattern on the floor is not all decoration, it's a reminder to the owner of this tower, it's a mark!"

"Luke, Your Majesty means that we have to jump over and jump to the red line on the other side, otherwise, we will be ...... by countless sharp arrows"

"The bridge is, don't say such terrible things. Christie snorted a few times and laughed, and she seemed genuinely happy to be here.

"Luke, I also have to tell you one more thing, starting with the first layer, there will be traps on every floor. Christie narrowed her smile, "There are countless treasures hidden on the top floor of this mage tower, which is why there are so many traps. You have to remember that there is only one trap on the first level, and that is the one we just experienced. ”

"When we get to the second layer, we face two traps, three on the third level, four on the fourth layer, and so on...... To the seventieth layer is seventy traps, and the last eighty-one layer has eighty-one traps. So, watch every step of the way, where I am on the right path, and memorize the traps of every floor of this mage tower before I am ten years old. There's nothing wrong with you following me, every trap is a deadly trap, and the higher you go, the more magic traps there are. ”

"The first floor is through this door, and this level is safe. ”

"That's right. ”

Luke pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are we here to find some treasure hidden in the upper floor?"

"You'll know in a moment that it will take us a little longer to get to the top, but we can't be in a hurry, or I won't be able to save you. The bridge already knows the secrets of this tower, and the people of the Order basically know it, except for you. Luke, you'd better be mentally prepared, because ...... You will know the country's greatest secret, and you must swear to keep it and not to divulge it, even if you die. ”

Then, Christie hurriedly said: "I'm just reminding you a little bit, don't be too nervous." ”

“……”

"You're the master of this mage tower, and you can't stop these traps?"

"The button to stop the trap is at the very top, and you can't do it without reaching that layer. However, even if I go to the top, I don't want to move that button in order for the trap to work. ”

"Why not at the entrance?"

"At the entrance? would lose the meaning of these traps and magic traps. ”

"Let's go. Christie quickened her pace, urging the two behind her, her plan was to go back before dawn, and if she was delayed by talking, she might as well use that time to reach more floors.

There are many traps in the Mage Tower, and the traps are different on almost every floor, and there is almost no repetition.

After passing through the first floor, it took thirty minutes to reach the tenth floor under Christie's guidance.

There are two traps on the second floor, the Flame Trap and the Ice Spike Trap. The traps on the third floor are ground spikes, rolling balls, and floor thorns. The traps on the fourth floor are the Illusion Trap, the Poison Smoke Trap, the Sleep Trap, and the Blindness Trap. The traps on the fifth floor are Space Compression, Mire Traps, Devouring Plants, Invisible Broken Paths, and Lost Traps.

6th & 7th Floor...... 9th floor, 10th floor.

There are more and more traps, one more for each layer, making it take longer to pass through each layer.
