Chapter 52
When everyone sat back in the living room, it was already 2 hours later, although Jian Sha looked like she was shouting "so full, I can't eat anymore", but when Ye Ran brought out the strawberry soufflé that had been cooled in the refrigerator before, she was the first to cheer.
"Xiao Ran, this dessert is so delicious, sweet but not greasy, with the refreshing taste of strawberries, it is a must, and the watermelon cheese you made last time is a must." Long Che has always been the master of advertising that men should not eat sweets, but this insistence is ruined every time Ye Ran arrives, and the desserts she brings out are so delicious that he almost swallows his tongue.
"It's really good." Lu Qi also commented pertinently that his cousin's craftsmanship was absolutely good.
Jian Sha didn't even want to speak except for nodding, and although Qi Moyan ate slowly, he didn't feel pressured to eat even though he had never touched sweets, which showed that the things made by Ye Ran were really popular.
A group of people talked about the commotion until nearly 12 o'clock before they dispersed, although it was a busy day, but Ye Ran did not feel tired, finished cleaning up the dinner plates, and dragged the floor of the living room and dining room again before slowly returning to his room to take a bath. When she came out of the shower, she saw that she was not too sleepy, so she decided to play a game.
Maybe it's the Chinese New Year, there are not many players in mythology, on the friend bar, the little hands are cold, and a few people are not online, Ye Ran went directly to a shop, Lao Mo is still busy there, and looks at the business status of the shop, the net income of nearly 500,000 gold coins per day makes Ye Ran feel very satisfied, and the price of purchasing the Tiantian Stone is reduced to 30Y/piece, Ye Ran knows that there are nearly nine layers of Tiantian Stone on the market in his hands, and even the players of the other three continents have asked someone to sell the Tiantian Stone to Lao Mo during this period, Looking at the nearly empty supplies in Sumeru, Ye Ran took 50 sets of water of life and water of destiny, and left in a hurry after taking some cooked food, she was going to the Tower of the Gods to do the follow-up mission of the main story!
In mythology, although the Tower of the Gods is often mentioned, but no one knows where it is at the beginning of the game, and there is no "Tower of the Gods" on the map of the game, in fact, it is not appropriate to say this, because the Tower of the Gods is an alias, the real name is called "Tower of the Mughals", Ye Ran even recalled with bad taste that it took nearly a month for the top masters who received the main quest in her previous life to know about it, and now she doesn't need to spend so long to find the Tower of the Gods, Ye Ran, who knew its real name, teleported directly to the Mughal town closest to the tower.
The Mughal town is not close to Wolong City, and the light teleportation fee cost 100 gold, and the town is quiet and harmonious, because the surrounding area is above level 35 active monsters, so there are no players at present, the Mughal Tower stands on the seaside on the east side of the town, not so much that it is a tower, the townspeople prefer to say that it is a lamp, and the Mughal townspeople who go out to sea to hunt for a living regard it as their pilot light, and whenever they see the light on the top of the tower, they know that they are not far from home.
Ye Ran had never been to the Mughal town before, but he always felt that the word "Mughal" was very familiar, and it seemed that in addition to the Tower of the Gods, it also had another deep meaning. In the eyes of other players, it's a small supply depot that sells a handful of commodity potions just like the rest of the world, but with the addition of one of their specialties - underwater breathing potions!
Underwater breathing agents
It allows the user to breathe freely underwater for 30 minutes and cool down for 15 minutes.
Ye Ran bought nearly 10,000 gold of underwater breathing medicine, although it was to go to the Tower of the Mughals, but the habits of her previous life made her always like to think about the accidents that seemed to be possible, since the tower stood by the sea, it was difficult to guarantee that there was no need to go into the water!
Walking through the central square of the Mughal town, an NPC dressed as a songr-poet sings:
When the stars are frosty, the moonlight is shrouded
The beautiful morning star shines movingly
O brave child, he will return to his mother's arms
The warm fire was already dancing with a happy red light
Young children, do not be afraid of the slander of the darkness
The lonely soul is about to be embraced by the light
A beautiful girl brings bright hope
The buried past is gradually inheriting the splendid splendor
……
The singing is very beautiful, and the tune is also a pastoral style that Ye Ran can accept, and the rhyming lyrics make her can't help but find a stone bench in a corner to sit down and listen carefully.
If the "morning star" refers to the Mughal Tower, which is used as a lighthouse by the townspeople, then does the stars and moonlight in front of it imply that there will be different discoveries in the past at night?
It was already night, and there were still nearly 5 hours left before the morning, so Ye Ran decided not to waste time and immediately headed for the Mughal Tower.
At night, in addition to the town square is still a little popular, other places have entered the dream of peace, and so Ye Ran walked out of the town gate, there is not even half a figure around, all the way to the Mughal Tower, the surrounding can be said to be uninhabited, wave after wave of waves crashing on the beach, the whole tower stands on the reef, at first glance, it looks ancient, the outer stone wall is even eroded by the sea to mottled color, the lower end of the tower is also covered with moss and seaweed, which occasionally clings to some shells and fans. The wooden door at the bottom of the tower looked a little thick, and Ye Ran gently pushed it, and the door quickly opened slowly, as if it was about to fall apart, rubbing against the ground with a screeching sound.
The space inside the tower was more spacious than Ye Ran thought, but it looked empty, and in the darkness, a stone staircase that zigzaged upwards was faintly seen leading to the top of the tower. Ye Ran walked into the tower, and the wooden door closed automatically! It was even darker in front of him, and he couldn't see anything, and when his eyes gradually became accustomed to the darkness, Ye Ran turned around and tried to open the wooden door, but it turned out to be in vain, and it seemed that if he wanted to get out of here, he could only find other exits. The night elf's night vision ability is not weak, so Ye Ran doesn't need tools like a torch, he walked into the tower and looked around carefully, and found that there was nothing else except the stone wall and the stone staircase, and gently touched the stone wall, the cold and slightly wet touch came through the fingertips, and the slightly uneven ground under her feet didn't seem to have any mechanism, helplessly, she decided to go up the stone staircase.
The tower of the Mughal is very high, walk along the stone staircase for nearly half an hour to reach the top of the tower, there is an oil lamp placed at the top of the tower, the dim light makes Ye Ran very curious how to let the ships on the sea clearly discover its existence, standing on the top of the tower and looking at the sea in the distance, looking at the endless sea calmly seems to fall into a deep sleep, the salty and wet sea breeze blows on the face and even has a slight sting, this tower has no mechanism at all, but no, it is impossible for Falkus to let himself come here to fool himself, The mission also clearly states that he is required to explore the Tower of the Gods, and the experience and insight of his previous life have clearly proved that the Tower of the Mughal is the Tower of the Gods, and the possibility of finding the wrong place is ruled out, so the most likely reason why the current mission has reached a dead end is that he has missed something.
At this time, there are less than four hours before sunrise, and the lyrics of the poet are very specific, and they must come here on the night of "stars and frost, moonlight" to come here to have a harvest, no, "frost, shroud", these two words refer to the second half of the night, that is, three or four o'clock before dawn, the time is estimated, and there is still more than an hour, so for today's plan only to wait patiently!
Ye Ran walked to the corner and sat down cross-legged, there was silence around, there seemed to be a sound of thunder outside the tower, it was estimated that it was about to rain, gradually, the thunder became louder and louder, mixed with the sound of more and more infiltrating wind, the tower was dark, Ye Ran took the dagger in his hand, closed his eyes and rested for a while. Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, as if sensing something, she opened her eyes, and a stone wall in front of her lit up, like a wave of light rippling, forming a circle of ripples that exuded a dream-like brightness, constantly spreading out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the place where the brilliance had risen had doubled, and the light waves that were wandering around slowly converged and finally turned into a light curtain in the shape of a six-pointed star! At this moment, the tower instantly became bright.
Ye Ran stood up, approached the light curtain, tried to stretch out a hand, found that he could enter, thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and walked in!
Anyway, in Ye Ran's eyes, this sudden appearance of the weird ripple light curtain is like a link connecting the mission, the key to the continuation of the mission, although the danger is still unknown, but the only hope must not be abandoned, Ye Ran who entered the light curtain seemed to be sucked into a huge whirlpool and was dragged into the unknown depths.
A sudden dizziness, Ye Ran fell into a stone room without an exit, this crumbling candle was placed on the stone table in the middle, I don't know how many years have passed here, this candle has not been extinguished is a miracle, the stone room is surrounded by pieces of bookshelves, there are many books on it, Ye Ran took one down casually, I don't want to receive a system prompt: Ding! Congratulations on discovering the Ancient Recipe!
What the? Recipe?
Ye Ran felt that she was a little incompetent to accept, she opened the book in her hand in disbelief, a beam of light entered her body, and the recipe in her hand disappeared, and she couldn't wait to open the list of suboccupations, and found that the few recipes on the last page of the recipe encyclopedia that Lal gave her had been lit up, and she had actually learned!
This is simply a treasure trove, Ye Ran looked for the shelves on each floor with great interest, and found that unless it was a book linked to the sub-profession he had learned, the rest of the books such as forging, tailoring, etc. could not be opened, trying to load these books into Sumeru but could not succeed, in desperation, Ye Ran rummaged through all the bookshelves, found the books that he could study, and the others could only dryly let them stay in the same place.
Rao is so, she still received a lot of goods, after a few tosses, she actually found that she had learned the things that could be made at each level of her sub-profession, it seems that as long as Lao Mo trained her sub-profession experience, she could make it, and the most interesting thing is that these recipes and drawings are not restricted by the sub-profession level at all, even if she is only at the master level now, she can still learn the recipes and drawings that are only allowed to be made by the great grandmaster or even the god craftsman level, is this a bug in disguise?
After happily wandering around this small stone room for a few hours, Ye Ran realized that it was time to find a way out, but around the stone house there were no secret doors except for the bookshelves and walls, and suddenly the candles on the table swayed, attracting Ye Ran's attention, the candles are not windless and automatic, and the wind means that this whole place is absolutely impossible to be sealed, otherwise the candles themselves should have been suffocated to death if they stayed here for so long.
Looking in the direction of the candle flame, the purpose is a bookshelf, Ye Ran stepped forward and took down the books on the top and put them on the table, and found a dilapidated small cup in the corner, reached out to take it, and found that it seemed to be glued to the bookshelf and could not be taken off, since it could not be removed, then try to turn it, sure enough, the small cup can be rotated, and then Ye Ran felt that the entire bookshelf slowly opened, revealing a teleportation light curtain on the stone wall behind him similar to the one seen on the stone wall at the top of the Mughal Tower, Ye Ran remembered that the light curtain disappeared after she first arrived at this stone room, it can be seen that this is a one-way teleportation formation, since there is no way back, then it can only move forward, Ye Ran stepped into the light curtain again without hesitation.
