Act III: The Mage's Tower

What Mian saw was a series of mountains.

The snow-covered hills are covered with green vegetation below, and the endless wheat fields at the foot of the mountain are a strange scene of several colors.

And between the top of the mountains, above the clouds, a huge island, suspended in mid-air.

The island was small, with jagged rocks underneath and green grass above, and a city stood in the middle of the island.

The towers of the city are lined up one after another, and the most conspicuous ones are the seven towers located in the center of the city.

The seven towers vary in shape, from simple masonry structures to purely mechanical textures, creature-like creature-like creature-like squirming and winding types, and even towers that loom like clouds and mist to see their outlines.

This is the Rainbow Tower, each tower, symbolizes a high-level mage above the golden rank, with these seven mages as the core, together with hundreds of middle-level mages, constitute the highest authority of the Rainbow Tower, the High Council.

And Ed, at this time, stood at the door of the Tower of Orange Light with his men, feeling uneasy.

The outer walls of this tower of orange light are covered with crystals of various colors, shining in the sunlight, like a huge crystal cluster, standing among the other towers, showing a bit of dreamy colors.

The owner of the Tower of Orange Light is the high-ranking mage Gratoni Slas, who is known as "Gluttony", and in addition to the title of high-level mage, he is also a well-known gourmand on the mainland.

Rather, it is by consuming the best of all kinds of food that Gratoni Slas has been able to achieve his current strength.

Looking around, Ed broke out in a cold sweat.

Because almost all the chefs who are waiting here with him are the best chefs.

There were no less than twenty of them that he could recognize, and these chefs came from the top restaurants in and around the Rainbow Tower, many of whom were excellent restaurant chefs who had been rated as three stars by the Mage Daily, and they were all full of ambition and gearing up to stand out in the next selection and become the final winners.

Some of them knew each other and started chatting before the game, and Ed, naturally, was greeted by several chefs he knew, and his face was very ugly.

After they had waited for a long time, the doors of the Tower of Orange Light opened, and a mage with a pointed hat walked out, a scroll hovering beside him.

He looked at the cooks standing outside, nodded in satisfaction, and then spoke, in a loud voice that reached the entire Tower Square.

"Guys, please follow me next and enter the infield to start the audition. ”

Hearing his words, the eyes of many chefs lit up, and a terrifying momentum spread, as if this was the battlefield.

Ed also seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and the original uneasiness disappeared, and he became focused and serious.

"Let's go. ”

He said to his men, taking a step forward.

......

On the other side of the Rainbow Tower, a tall tower made of craggy rocks makes people stay away.

The building is not so much a tower as a mountain peak, and above the peak, there seems to be a little smoke of gunpowder, like a volcano that has been silent for a long time, and there is a surging energy under it, just waiting for an opportunity to erupt.

"This is one of the seven main towers of the Rainbow Tower, the Xuanqing Tower, and it is also the mage tower of the high-ranking mage His Excellency Tahiria Sphinx, of course, for those outside, perhaps another name of this Excellency is more noticeable. ”

Liliana said casually, leading Rosen and Fina closer to the tower, a few ripples in the air, and Rosen knew that it was the shock caused by their passage through the magical ban.

The tower is deserted and there are few shops, which may have something to do with the bans.

Rosen secretly counted the number of these prohibitions, only to find that there were hundreds of magic prohibitions for different purposes, and if he wanted to forcibly break through, even the silver level would take more than half an hour.

"What's the name?"

Ever since she stepped into the confines of the tower, she felt a force sweep through her body, and she felt a little uncomfortable, her ears turned in all directions, listening to everything around her.

"Fifth on the Templar's Night's Watch hunt list, Tahiria Sphinx, son of the dragon. ”

Hearing Liliana's words, Rosen remembered that he seemed to be on this hunt list, but because many of his actions were relatively secretive, he didn't know if the information on it had been updated.

"Son of the Dragon......"

Fina was a little scared and chewed on the name repeatedly.

There are not many existences that can be named "evil dragons", because the dragon disappeared long after the holy war, so for thousands of years, no one has really seen a dragon, but in the myths that have been handed down in later generations, there is an evil dragon with a clear voice.

It was a thousand years ago, a dragon somehow fell into madness, its body torn apart by lava and its wounds covered with steel, it ravaged the earth for years, and no one dared to challenge its authority.

It wasn't until a mage subdued the dragon by some means and made it tame the mage's mount for nearly a hundred years, and when the mage died of old age, the dragon regained its nature, but only destroyed a few cities, and then disappeared.

The dragon's name was Tiamat, named after the god who represented war and destruction.

"Hehe, looks like you've heard that legend. ”

Liliana smiled when she saw Fina's face pale.

"But that's just a legend after all, as far as I know, although Your Excellency doesn't like to deal with others, but he is still a good person, and he often brings up his juniors, but he is a good senior. ”

"That's, that's good. ”

Fina nodded, seeming a little relieved.

The three of them walked through the forbidden and entered the cave-like gate of the tower, which was dimly lit with candles.

"Liliana, long time no see. ”

A low voice came from nowhere, and Fina looked around, but couldn't find the location of the person who spoke.

"Hi Medar, it feels like you've grown up a little bit again. ”

Liliana responded, and whispered in Fina's ear.

"This is the will of this mage tower, and its name is Medar. ”

"The Will of the Mage Tower......"

Fina felt that everything she had seen was beyond her imagination, and since she came to the Rainbow Tower, those wonderful things that were not mentioned in the books appeared one after another, and they were overwhelming, almost reorganizing and subverting Fina's worldview.

"Yo, little sister, do you want my Lord Medar to take you around this tower, I know a lot of hidden corners, hehehe. ”

Medar's voice came from the wall, causing Fina to subconsciously hug Rosen's arm beside her.

"No need to joke, Medar, we're looking for Lord Sphinx, you can help inform me. ”

Liliana said, and at the same time took out a mana crystal and put it on the lampstand next to her, only to see that the wall slowly sank inside, swallowing the mana crystal, and then returning to its original state.

"Okay, I'll go, but the host was meeting a guest earlier, and I don't know if it's free, so I'll let you know first. ”

Almost not long after Medar finished speaking, a hole appeared in the wall in front of the three of them, and then Medar's voice was heard.

"Your Excellency said let you go directly. ”
