The headquarters of the Royal Arcane is a river island located at the mouth of the Deep Water River.

The river island is very large, forming a narrow crescent shape along the course of the deep water river, and more than a dozen small oases are scattered on both sides of the meniscus arch, which are connected to the river island by straight white bridges.

Two towering and magnificent magic towers stand on the two horns of the crescent moon, and the balls of light rising from the top of the towers are like two small suns, radiating out the magic enchantment range that envelops the entire river continent and more than a dozen satellite-like small oases, and extends to both sides of the deep water river.

Because it was night out of the city, the stars filled the sky like broken diamonds inlaid in black velvet, and from outside the confines of the station, I looked at the river island, which was just a flowing river, and there was no river island. Even Lin An himself could only vaguely perceive the hidden fluctuations emanating from the magic enchantment, almost fusing with all things in nature.

"It was true that this was originally just a smooth river, and the middle river banks and oases were made of artificial fill, and it is said that the lower part of the river bank was not connected to the riverbed, and it was a station where they could take off, and those oases were the ships of the arch guards - but this is only a wild rumor, no one has ever seen them actually get up."

Andre introduced Lin An, and behind the two of them, Shirley followed suit, and John and Angelia followed behind them.

Behind them were two young mage apprentices, one leading their horses and tying the reins to a half-man-high stone pillar, the other saluting them, speaking a few words to Andre and handing them the five small silver signs.

They had come to the river, and a wooden stack stretched out to the river, and at the end of the wooden stack were several rowing wooden boats, which were slightly upturned at both ends like the shape of a river bank. There was not a single person on it.

The wooden boat was not tied to the shore, and the water of the deep water river flowed under the wooden boat, but the wooden boat remained motionless, quietly leaning against the wooden stack.

Lin An's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this wooden boat that didn't have any structural circuits on the outside.

Andre and Shiryl walked up first, Andre turned around and stretched out his hand to Lin An, Lin An gently held his hand, and jumped onto the boat, the wooden boat did not even have a trace of shaking on the water, as if Lin An was still stepping on the flat ground.

The brown-haired one of the two mage apprentices drew a short staff and tapped it at the bow of the wooden ship. Lin An sensed the escape of the magic fluctuations, and the wooden boat under his feet slammed lightly on the wooden stack and left the shore. The two oars on both sides did not move, and they swayed and automatically drove towards the direction of the river island.

Although he couldn't see it, Lin An felt that an invisible rope stretched straight out from the position of the apprentice point on the bow just now, pulling the wooden boat to an oasis closest to the river bank. The wooden boat sails straight down the river towards the oasis in a way that completely defies the laws of physics.

The oasis was not large, and there were several similar boats docked on the shore, and a few men in white robes stood on the trestle.

As soon as the wooden boat landed, Andrei was the first to disembark and stand on the pier.

A white light shot out from the top of the lighthouse-like magic tower on the crescent moon corner of Hezhou, like a spotlight on the stage, enveloping Andre in it. A small silver sign on Andrei's waist lit up immediately, and the spotlight-like white light immediately dissipated.

Then Lin An and the others disembarked one after another, and the same white light shrouded them. It stayed on Lin An for a little longer before disappearing, and Lin An felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him in the white light.

Lin An's heart moved slightly, and he looked towards the magic tower on the crescent moon corner.

They were greeted by acquaintances, the three fellow mages in the Honourees' ranks, who had barely been seen at the court balls these days. Goodbye this time on the oasis, their white robes had a dark silver moon embroidered on the neckline.

They were greeted by three men and one woman. Nikita is the only female mage among them.

To Lin An's surprise, Salin was also among them, and a silver star was embroidered on the neckline.

She couldn't help but glance at him more, and Salin smiled politely and politely, with a meaningful smile in his eyes that only between them could understand.

Nikita leaned on Salin's side, not seeing anything from Lin An and Salin's instantaneous eye contact, the woman's intuition made her still implicitly jealous of Lin An, and the action of holding Salin tightened.

Andre's brother and sister are not familiar with a few mages, and these companions are mainly here to greet Lin An and John.

Although Merlin's work efficiency did not decrease during the celebration, the recipients of the honorees in the past few days received their respective assignments or contacted relatives and friends in the imperial capital, and the number of recipients who remained at the accommodation gradually decreased.

Several of their fellow mages were the first to go, faster than Lin An, as they had all sworn allegiance to the royal family of Merlin and had been assigned to the Royal Arcane Order, and judging by the silver star in their collar, they should be doing well here.

Because they didn't be separated for a few days, everyone met and just chatted about the recent situation of the companions they knew in the past two days, Lin An was asked when the first dance party would be held in the new mansion of the Earl's Palace, and asked Lin An not to forget to inform them, Lin An responded with a smile, and also asked about their situation in the secret law group.

"It's not bad, you know, in addition to retaining a lifetime medal, the rest of our merits have been converted into the contribution of the secret magic group, so we can become the silver moon mage when we first come in, the secret magic group distinguishes the contribution degree according to the level of the stars, the moon and the sun, and selectively opens the right to use the Tibetan calligrapher tower according to the level of contribution, etc., most of the merit we choose to transform part of the merit, and the rest is converted into materials and equipment and the like."

The more sociable of the four, Master Lauren, introduced.

The stars, moons, and suns on their robes don't exactly symbolize the level of contribution, each star means a constant level zero spell, and each moon is equivalent to a constant level 1 to 3 spell.

When the moon is less than three, it is just a very ordinary magic robe, and the constant spells on the robe are limited after all, more than three spells need a considerable level of alchemy, and more than seven moons require an archmage to take action, reaching ten moons to advance to the sun level, and even cross-level to obtain a robe above the archmage level.

Of course, the constant trigger spells above will often drain the magic power of the official mage, and it will be up to the mage to decide whether to use it or not.

And according to the rules of the Secret Law Order, each silver moon is equivalent to one-tenth of the construction value of the mage tower, which is what Lauren and others value the most. After all, who has become an official mage, who doesn't have the dream of an archmage?

A mage tower built entirely for oneself will greatly increase the probability of success in the advancement, and in recent centuries, the mage tower has almost become a necessary condition for advancing to the rank of archmage.

What's more, the mage tower or something is just an additional addition to the contribution level, and the various privilege treatment allowances open according to the level are the real benefits of the contribution level, although the magic capital is known as the mage holy land, but when it comes to strength and heritage, the secret law group is not inferior, but the high-level power is not as strong as the magic capital:

After all, the royal family, the court mage group, and the major nobles have also diverted some high-end forces. Pompey's mage group is not entirely centered on the Secret Magic Order, but when it comes to Pompey's mages. But no one denies that the Royal Esoteric Order is their symbol.

As they walked along the white bridge between the oasis and the central river bank to the central river bank, they listened to Master Lauren's introduction with relish.

The two magic towers on the crescent moon in the central river island are twelve-story towers, the number of towers symbolizes the power of the highest-ranking mages who live in them, and there are many small towers scattered around the two towers. There is a regular distribution of six-pointed circles, and the intervals are not crowded, because according to Lauren, the area of the Crescent Continent has actually been increasing over the years.

There are also a number of mage towers scattered on more than a dozen small oases scattered around the Crescent Continent, and the light emitted from the top of the towers reflects each other into complex geometric patterns, and the effect of the huge magical enchantment based on this radiates to a radius of thirty miles nearby. The area is already the size of a town, like a bright pearl embedded in a deep river.

However, the core of the Arcane Order's residence is still the Crescent Moon Continent and the dozen or so oases nearby, and the number of mages is scarce. The population density of the station is also very low, so although there are many minarets and buildings along the way that blend beautifully with the natural surroundings of River Island, people are not common.

In the advertising terms of the previous life, this is simply a luxury villa in a natural scenic spot that occupies the sky and is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is simply the best place to study the vast and sparsely populated land and be quiet and undisturbed. It is most suitable for a type of mage like Sidney to study behind closed doors, and even Lin An is right to see these large and small mage towers. There is a feeling of fascination:

Being an otaku mage in such a coveted environment, enjoying national-level offerings and allowances, is simply an unparalleled life!

Seeing Lin An's expression, Master Hugo next to him was also honored, and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that Master Lin, you can't join the secret magic group. ”

Master Lauren on the side said to Lin An, "Of course, Master Lin has his own personal reasons. ”

They all knew that Lin An and the two friends around her were from a hidden lineage, and it was completely understandable that such a background could not freely swear allegiance and join the Royal Secret Method.

Lin An himself and Andre brother and sister actually didn't explain anything to the outside world, but everyone thought so, and no one went back to ask more about it, after all, it was a personal choice.

Lauren and the others had just joined the Secret Law Order, and they didn't have a deep sense of identity, so they didn't care about Lin An's choice at all, but they just felt that the titles and fiefs they had exchanged for their merits were flashy, and some of them were sorry for them.

Andre was relatively silent along the way, he had been here several times, and he also had a certain understanding of the inside of the secret law group, and he didn't need to ask Lauren and the others like Lin An, and then he suddenly said in a loud voice:

"Why did Master Redondo join the Secret Order?"

Andre already knew Saleen's name after his amnesia, and most of the Honorees didn't know Saleen's identity yet, so everyone still used the name Redondo, and James didn't react to it.

"I want to stay with everyone, and of course I have to join the Secret Law Order, but I have no merit, so I have to start as a star reserve."

Saleen glanced at Nikita beside him, Nikita smiled sweetly, in the eyes of everyone, most of the reason why Saleen stayed was because of Nikita, and they all showed a tacit look.

Andre's face was a little delicate, and Salin smiled and gave him a meaningful look as he swept past Lin An.

Walking to the east near the crescent corner, there were a little more people, and the apprentices in the silver star gray robes retreated to the side and bowed slightly when Lin An and the others walked by, and Lauren introduced to Lin An:

"These apprentices with more than three silver stars have basically experienced some trials, and after arriving at three stars, they basically need real combat to get contribution, although their talents are different, but in terms of will and strength, these little guys are the future of the secret law group. Those who have the best chance of advancing are all gathered near the magic towers of the two crescent horns. ”

Salin also interjected: "My recent mission is to monitor the mission trials of these little guys, and a few of them are really good. ”

"Actually, what you want to say most is that this kind of task is easy and easy to earn contributions! It's cheaper for you, I'm afraid I can catch up with the contribution in a year at most! ”

Saleen smiled gently, and even Nikita let them joke, because these tasks that Saleen contributed to were left to him by his companions.

The group finally came to the six-pointed star range of the magic tower, if there is no permission here. Even Lauren and the others could not enter at will, so Master Lauren and the others stopped and separated from Lin An and the others under a sub-tower. Lin An heard Salin's voice:

"I'll look for you tomorrow night."

It is not easy for Salin and Lin An to meet each other these days, and Salin obviously has his own plans, and it is not easy for him to wait for these few days.

Lin An's eyes were slightly fixed, and he turned back as if nothing had happened. A male mage with eight or nine moons on his robes floated over, and the moons were no longer embroidered on the neckline, but on the hem of the robe, flickering brightly with the movement of the flight.

It seems that the Secret Law Group has no restrictions on the style of the robe, and Lauren and the others have only just entered the Secret Law Group, and their contribution level is relatively low. He was wearing a standard robe.

Lin An's eyes were attracted by the silver glittering robe for a while, but unexpectedly, the male mage who flew down from the tower suddenly rolled in mid-air, and fell straight down with his head down!

Lin An was shocked. Seeing that the male mage's head was about to collide with the ground, he suddenly stopped three inches above the ground without warning, and hung upside down in the air.

"Master Kodiak, it's not funny to play the same trick twice!" Andrei's complaint came from the side.

The male mage just hung upside down and turned around, facing the direction of Lin An and the others.

There seems to be an invisible force field disc on his feet. The robes were as if he were standing on the ground, defied of gravity and did not hang down like a banana peel. The mage himself was also calm, hung upside down and rolled his eyes to look at Andre, and then looked at Lin An, who was only slightly surprised after the truth was revealed, and his lazy face showed a boring look:

"You don't have any sense of humor!"

He squeezed his eyes at Lin An, turned his body over again, and just sat cross-legged in the air.

Lin An realized that the position on his feet was actually a first-level floating saucer technique, but the limitations of the floating saucer technique's distance from the ground and speed had obviously been eliminated, which was actually a highly improved flying spell.

Lin An's black hair and black eyes were very conspicuous, and Master Kodiak, who was sitting cross-legged and cross-legged in the air, looked Lin An up and down seriously, tilted his head and said:

"You're the famous Ann. Beautiful jade? Isn't it said that she is a beauty who captivates the country and the city? I don't think it looks good! The nose is not stiff enough, the shape of the eyes is so strange, and the face is so small that you can't see the facial features clearly, you look so strange! ”

His brows were tangled together, and his tone was serious, apparently really thinking so.

Lin An is full of black lines, the appearance of Oriental people is indeed not easy to be accepted by Western races, but aesthetics have no borders, and there is no racial distinction when the beauty reaches a certain level, Lin An has never seen people's amazing and shocking eyes since he came to this world, and suddenly heard Master Kodiak's comments, and he was not displeased after being choked, and he thought it was very interesting.

She nodded:

"Actually, before I came here, I always thought that I didn't look outstanding, but then everyone said that I was beautiful, so I thought I had become beautiful...... It turns out that it is still the same as before, then their aesthetics are really strange! ”

After speaking, she couldn't help but smile, her red lips were slightly curled, her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were sparkling.

Master Kodiak didn't expect her to react like this, when any beauty's appearance was questioned, it was definitely different from Lin An's reaction, he was greatly appreciative, and clapped his hands and said:

"I see you much more pleasing to the eye now, but you're not that ugly...... Speaking of which, where did you live? Where are you from? Be sure to introduce your friend to me next time! ”

He looked like he couldn't wait to chat with like-minded people for three days and three nights, it seemed that his unique aesthetics had made him depressed for a long time, and he grabbed Lin An's hand, and he didn't see what he did, Lin An's body was weightless and flew.

Lin Anzheng was distracted by Master Kodiak's previous question, if it weren't for the mental power control, he would have done it completely at will. When Master Kodiak grabbed it, he was probably already exposed, but even so, Master Kodiak still looked at her, as if he had found something.

Of course, Lin An couldn't answer Master Kodiak's inquiry head-on, and as soon as his hand was caught, he looked in the direction of Brother Andre and John Angelia in slight surprise.

But in the blink of an eye, the four were already left behind.

"Master!"

Andre, who was closest to the two, screamed, and Master Kodiak, who was flying in front, did not enter through the gate of the magic tower, but slammed directly into the wall of the tower, and the wall swallowed him like gelatin. Then Lin An, who was held by the master, also didn't go in.

After Lin An submerged, the wall was still like a translucent glue packing, and Andre, who was chasing behind, hit the seemingly soft tower wall and bounced back, and Master Kodiak was happy on the other side of the wall. Let go of Lin An's hand and pat his legs and laughed.

Lin An looked at this old naughty boy like a master of Kodiak speechlessly, she had never thought that the other party was such an image before she saw her:

Master Kodiak is not old, and his robe personality and hairstyle are messy, giving people the feeling of being a bit detached from the outside world in Lin An's previous life.

He looked to be only thirty or forty years old, which Andrei had already been vaccinated against. It is said that he mistakenly ingested some kind of failed test potion when he was young, and his body has been fixed at that age ever since. But even so, when he first appeared, he was almost thought by Lin An to be a disciple of the master, Andre said that Master Kodiak was very easy to get along with, but he didn't say that his personality was actually like this.

The magic tower actually didn't have a gate, and Andre and the others outside couldn't see the situation inside. Master Kodiak watched Andre and the others struggle with how to enter through the wall, while Lin An took the opportunity to take a look at where he was.

It is an amber-like magic tower, and the main material for constructing the magic tower is a light brown translucent solid that looks like solidified gum. Its essence should be what Lin An saw, and the stone tower body seen outside should be the illusion effect of the magic tower.

The light brown material of the magic tower seems to be one, Lin An can't see what kind of material this is, there are many materials that Lin An doesn't know at the alchemy level, this is the most incomplete area of the guardian's information. Because alchemy can decompose or synthesize new materials and new materials at any time. It will only increase over time, not decrease.

Lin An is like standing in a light brown amber, there are wisps of veins and tiny bubbles in the amber gum in all directions, they are not frozen but constantly surging like flowing water, powerful magic flows in the veins, the veins are incredible, like countless blood vessels, Lin An simply wonders how such a tower was built.

"What do you think?" Master Kodiak's rhetorical question rang in his ears, and Lin An realized that he had asked the words out of his mouth.

"I don't know," Lin An replied honestly, "I've only seen a method of construction that is said to be very difficult, where the entire magic tower is refined as an alchemy item, so when it is formed, it is a whole, and the book I have read calls this alchemy method integral alchemy." ”

Therefore, this magic tower has no gates, and there are gates everywhere, and countless veins in the tower extend in all directions, like blood vessels in a living life.

Surprise flashed in Master Kodiak's eyes, "Any other opinions?" ”

When he talks about the real field of study, his attitude is normal, and he has the demeanor of a master.

Lin An thought for a while and hesitated: "...... This magic tower gives me a feeling that it is real life. ”

Master Kodiak's eyes lit up.

Lin An throbbed, and the veins in the four walls of the room he was in suddenly surged, revealing three-dimensional veins more complex than spider webs, and the ceiling above his head moved like waves, slowly protruding a huge human female face like a mountain, and the eyes inlaid with two large bubbles looked down at Lin An from above, and his mouth opened lightly, making a soft female voice:

"Beautiful guest, welcome to the Tower of Amber, I am the tower of the Tower of Amber, Cassandra. Marvel. ”

The appearance of the huge face couldn't withstand Lin Anxin's shock, she subconsciously took a step back, and a loud laugh from Master Kodiak sounded beside her: "Among the people who entered the Tower of Miracles, you are the only official mage who has discovered Cassandra Cun Zài the first time you enter!" ”

The one who calls himself Cassandra. The miracle tower spirit didn't seem to be smart enough, and only appeared to say hello to Lin An, ignoring her lack of response and Master Kodiak's voice just now, the ceiling fluctuated, and the huge face was a little blurred, as if it was about to disappear.

"Wait!"

Lin An wanted to keep "her" out loud, but the tower spirit on the ceiling reappeared, the female face was delicate, and the soft but unchanged female voice sounded like an electronic synthesized sound:

"Master Kodiak, a guest from outside has arrived."
