11 Mysterious Scrolls
The Imperial Wizard Academy has a peculiar mage tower, which everyone in the academy calls the "Tower of Good Luck". This is the result of a bad taste of a great mage who loves divination and gambling. This magic tower has a very peculiar rule: each apprentice of the magic academy can only go once, and only take one thing at a time. But in fact, many magic apprentices have never been there, and even many students who have graduated from the magic academy and left have not been. The reason is simple, you need to pay a lot of magic coins.
Hill is a lucky apprentice, he has no shortage of magic coins, and he and his mentor Douglas are a strange talent, which the Grand Magus and the head of the Imperial Academy of Magic call "the source of magic". Of course, before Douglas created the theory of magical weapons, the greatest advantage of this talent was that there was no shortage of magic coins. For Ciel, who has no shortage of magic coins, he is willing to make any attempt to consume magic coins.
The Imperial Academy of Magic doesn't actually have a lot of entertainment, or it's different from ordinary people's entertainment, in fact, when most of the people in the empire are still struggling to get enough food, it's certain that there is a lack of entertainment. But for magicians, this is a group that doesn't need to worry about food. Proper entertainment will naturally arise, such as the "Tower of Good Luck" that Hill is going to now.
Although not many magic apprentices go to the "Tower of Good Luck" each year, there are still many people who have been there, and the known items include cowhide magic books, magic wands, imperial coins, katanas, and some strange monster materials. Most of the seniors chose books, some of which recorded strange stories or some simple magic spells, and some of which chose weapons, which were very helpful on the way to complete the mage trial.
Hill looked for a dark and windy night and secretly came to the "Tower of Good Luck". It's not a good thing to let your friends know that they have so many magic coins. In the past, the fate of the rich families in the village Hill is vivid. Guarding the Mage's Tower is a magical elf. Hill guessed that it was the magic elf of the Grand Magister, with a long white beard and eyebrows, sleeping in the doorway of the Mage's Tower. The mage tower, known as the "Tower of Good Luck", has been uninhabited for a long time, and the wooden door with the pattern of the arcane circle is covered with dust.
Ciel knocked softly on the door, and the sleeping magic elf muttered "fifty magic coins" and stretched out its claws. He pointed to the wooden plate in front of him. Ciel took out the magic coin and placed it on a wooden plate. I saw that the magical creature came to me and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Go up. A path opened behind the door, and Hill cautiously walked up it. Perhaps this could be called the Ruined Tower, which was really dark compared to the Mentor's Tower of Darkness, the Philosopher's Stone at the top of the tower seemed to be running out of energy, and the faint light could barely illuminate the way up the stairs.
On the first floor, there was nothing, on the second floor, there were several teeth, fur and bones of unknown monsters, which looked like unknown goods, on the third floor, there were a few rusty iron swords and weapons, on the fourth floor, there were several sets of unknown armor, and on the fifth floor, there were a number of magic scrolls, which seemed to record some anecdotes, and Ciel could not see very clearly in the dim light, but at this point, there was no way to go up.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of this tower, so that you can't tell the difference, all spell luck - "good luck tower".
Grabbing a magic scroll, Ciel left the Tower of Good Luck. It's a failed experience, don't be curious about the unknown that has been proven, or you'll be a fool.
Sneaking back to the dormitory, the friends are all asleep, and Hill feels very lucky. If this was a successful expedition, maybe Hill would brag about it like his friends, but this obviously failed experience filled Hill's heart with embarrassment and remorse, and the next day when it was just cloudy, Hill tiptoed out of bed, leaving a note, "Practice magic today, and suspend magic for a day." ”
Coming to Mentor Douglas's Tower of Darkness, as in the old days, the Mentor didn't know which room to study magic in, and it was Mr. Tick who opened the door.
Mr. Tick has been extremely enthusiastic about Hill ever since Hill paid him a large sum of magic coins, and every time he prepares enough food, he even has jam now, making the clear water bread into jam bread. Hill already enjoyed the taste of the jam.
"Ciel, didn't you sleep well last night? I see you're a little tired. Tick said.
"Mr. Tick, I went to the Tower of Good Luck last night and brought back a magic scroll. Hill said.
"It's the white-haired monkey's territory, it's a liar, but he does have a lot of hidden notes about magic. Let me see what you brought back?" Tick was disdainful of the elves who were guarding the Mage's Tower yesterday.
Ciel took out the scroll he had brought back from the Tower of Good Luck last night and handed it to Tick.
"The mystery of the soul, the sleeping secrets of the gods. It's a secret account that only the wizard community dares to write, but as for the authenticity, it remains to be proven, not every magician is honest. Tick said. "But it's helpful for you to understand some of the dynamics of the mage's mind. ”
"Mr. Tick, is this a stroke of luck?" Hill hoped it would be a good fortune.
"Good luck, of course not, maybe you'll find a lot of books like this in the library of the Imperial Academy of Magic somewhere. Tick said ruthlessly.
Hearing Tick say this, Hill was a little disappointed, and the small flame that was still a little excited was blown out by Tick in one gulp.
It's still a little distressing to throw away the money after spending the money, and anyway, Hill decided to finish the book. This book is far from being as unbearable as Tick said, among some books that record the history of magic, this book should be regarded as the best of them, although the rough writing, there is no rough description of the storyline to speak of, but it tells Hill one thing, because of the decline of God, human magic has only begun to rise, before this, human beings are not qualified and entitled to have the power of magic, because it is the realm of God.
Of course, there is also the windfall, in a short space in the book, the author records a strange magic circle called soul sharing, and speculates that the magic elves may be able to connect with the summoner's soul through this ritual, as for what it does, the book does not describe.
