Chapter 17: The Wizard's Tower

The whole county town is mainly made of wood, the tallest of which is a tower, which has seven floors and stands in the center of the county, and the tower body is also a wooden structure, and the joints are mostly tenoned, and no metal can be seen from the outside.

The tower is where the wizards live, and no one is allowed to enter it without permission except for the miscellaneous servants, and the spirit of the wizard is in the tower, and the relics must be there.

The three of them walked near the outer wall of the tower, and there seemed to be no one in the courtyard, and there was no movement at all.

At this time, wizards must be busy cleaning up the mess, and no one is not surprising.

"Why are we acting like thieves?" said the turtle master suddenly.

"I don't know, it may have something to do with my habits," Meng Yun said with a little absent-mindedness as he looked up at the tower.

In order to save the people of this city, the wizard gave his life, just as he did to save him.

In any case, the Wizard of Enlightenment is undoubtedly a good person, but it is absolutely unfair that a good person does not get a good death, who would have thought that this would be the end?

"You were a thief before you became a pawn?" said Master Turtle again.

", I'm a soldier, but I'm not the kind of soldier you think," Meng Yun was pulled back to his senses by the turtle master again, and the difference between a soldier and a thief is big, "I can't explain it to you, you can treat me as an assassin." ”

"Assassin? I said that you always want to make a trick, and if you dare to love, you won't see the light," the turtle master suddenly realized.

"That's pretty much what it means, I'll go up first," Meng Yun said and took a few steps back, the outer wall was only more than two meters high, and it was not difficult to climb over.

"Wait a minute," At this moment, the turtle master raised his hand to stop him.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yun rolled his eyes helplessly.

"There's an enchantment in this place," Master Turtle said, pointing to the outer wall.

"What enchantment? Why can't I see it?" he looked at what the turtle master pointed to, but found nothing.

"You wait a minute," said Master Turtle, running under the wall, biting the index finger of his right hand, trying to throw the blood drops over the wall.

But at this moment, a red light lit up at the head of the wall, and the invisible barrier blocked the blood droplets, and the blood beads slid down the red light barrier, not passing through the top of the wall.

This red light must have been emitted by the barrier.

"Can it be broken?" As of this time, he knew that what the turtle master said was true.

The blood beads quickly slid to the ground, and the red light disappeared, but the barrier did not really disappear.

"No, if you break it, you will be discovered," said the turtle master.

"What should I do?" Meng Yun asked again.

"Get out of the way," Master Turtle raised his hand to signal him to step back, bit his left index finger again, and walked to the wall.

The moment the two hands touched the wall, the red light enchantment appeared out of thin air again, but this time after the enchantment was touched by the turtle master's blood, it quickly began to dissolve and subside.

An oval arch appears, but the arch is only on the barrier, and the wall behind the barrier is still there.

"What kind of spell is this?" Meng Yun said with some astonishment, this old guy Turtle Master has a lot of secrets.

"It's not a spell, you can't use a spell without aura," Master Turtle withdrew his hands and took a few steps back, and then glanced at him.

He nodded and stepped forward, gathered his qi between his hands, and rushed at the wall behind the arch, slashing several times in the blink of an eye, and the wall collapsed with a bang.

"Witchcraft?" Meng Yun asked again.

"Neither," said the turtle master with a wave of his hand at him, "Come in quickly, at most you can only last a stick of incense." ”

......

After entering, I found that this courtyard is really not ordinarily big, there are rockeries and lakes, pavilions and pavilions, and strange stones and cypresses.

The courtyard is very quiet, the walkways are paved with white stone, and the sides of the road are planted with frost-tolerant plants, which look like holly or camellia.

"We are heroes and not thieves," Master Turtle couldn't help but speak.

"You are the hero, and it has something to do with you?" Meng Yun said angrily, he knew it after the turtle master was cheeky, but he still couldn't help but want to scold it.

"Isn't it different?"

"Where's the face?"

......

After entering the tower, under the guidance of the turtle master, the three of them went straight to the seventh layer of the tower.

In this seven-story tower, a light blue transparent ice coffin was hung in the air by chains, about three feet above the ground, and the cold air overflowed from the ice coffin, and the temperature was terrifying, making people dare not approach easily.

In the ice coffin, the body of the wizard lay quietly.

Pale golden sigils loomed in the ice, some kind of strange sealing technique.

After a dozen steps, I could clearly see the face of the wizard, his eyes were closed, and his face was as usual.

"Someone sealed the body of Old Man Qi," Master Turtle said.

"Is this ice coffin a seal?" he and the turtle master's voices echoed in the tower.

"The ice coffin is not, the golden sigil is," the turtle master said again.

"Why do you want to seal it? Shouldn't people die in the ground?" The man in the ice coffin had saved his life three times, but now he was lying here.

"Someone doesn't want to do this," Master Turtle obviously had something to say.

"Who?" Meng Yun frowned and looked at the turtle master.

"I don't know, this person's cultivation is at least a great witch," the turtle master shook his head and said.

"Could it be Wizard Ji?" Meng Yun thought for a moment and said again.

In the entire county, there is only Ji who is a wizard of great witch cultivation, but he can't figure out why Ji did this, Wizard Qi is Ji's own uncle.

"Old Man Qi has the Shuimu twin bloodline, but Ji doesn't have the water bloodline," Master Turtle's words undoubtedly proved that he was thinking too much.

At this moment, the figure of the black cloaked man flashed from his mind, Xiu is at least a great witch, and he also knows the wizard of Qi, this person is the most suitable. Before that, he had seen the other party's water spiritual energy, and even the flames could freeze it, even if it was to make such an ice coffin, it didn't seem to be difficult.

At this moment, the turtle master's voice sounded again, "Someone is coming." ”

A burst of aura fluctuated, and the three of them looked up at the side at the same time, and the person who came was the Ji he had seen before.

After Ji appeared, he first bowed to the wizards, and then bowed to them, "Thank you for your help." ”

"How did you know we were here?" asked Master Turtle, a little puzzled.

"Are you here for your uncle's relics?" Ji didn't answer directly, but looked at him instead.

"How do you know?"

"Uncle has already instructed that if someone comes to look for his relics, let me be sure to present them," Ji said indifferently.

Meng Yun was instantly stunned when he heard this, how did the Qi Wizard know that he was coming?

"Oh, where's the thing?" asked the turtle master first.

Ji looked sideways, turned around and made a gesture of please, "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Meng Yun and Turtle Master glanced at each other, and then followed.

Master Turtle followed behind the other party, "Where are you going to take us?"

"The basement floor at the bottom of the tower," Ji said.

I thought that the tower had seven floors, but I didn't expect that there was another layer underground, but the strangest thing was still behind, entering the underground floor, and the entrance was not on the first floor, but on the second floor.

Entering the mechanism is a bronze statue that can be rotated, and if the bronze statue is rotated half a circle with brute force, there will be a secret door on the north wall, and some of them are intriguing that Ji is a mechanism that rotates in front of several people, and there is no deliberate intention to conceal it.

"A few people saved my people from fire and water, I don't know how to thank them," Ji picked up the torch and led the way into the secret door.

"If you want to thank you, thank you, the two of us didn't help much," Meng Yun said casually.

"Can you speak? What do you mean you didn't help?" the turtle master kicked him in dissatisfaction.

"Tell me what you're helping with?" Meng Yun pursed his lips with disdain.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you," Master Turtle didn't answer.

"Who sealed the Wizard Qi?" Meng Yun thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I don't know," Ji shook his head.

"Huh?" Meng Yun frowned and questioned.

"After my uncle fought with the barbarians, he knew that his fate was not long in coming, so he summoned me to teach me a full-body cultivation, and then urged me to retreat and refine my cultivation to resist the barbarians.

Meng Yun frowned and didn't answer, he was more and more sure that this matter had nothing to do with the black cloaked man, but why did this person seal the wizard Qi? What is his intention?

Before entering the basement floor, there is a secret door, and you can only go down by pushing this secret door open.

After entering the basement level, Ji stuck the torch on the wall, turned around and snapped his fingers.

The oil lamps in the entire basement were lit up in an instant, and snapping his fingers was not a simple action, during which he clearly felt the fluctuation of aura, which should be similar to the activation method of some kind of mechanism.

The moment the oil lamp is lit, the scene in the basement is revealed.

The area is not large, only about half of the seven-story tower, and even less than one-third of the first floor.

More than a dozen tables were filled with books of all kinds, mostly bamboo slips, and a small number of silk and fur scrolls, piled up in the corners.

The books and the table were clean and free of any dust, indicating that someone came here to clean it regularly.

"The people in the city want to build an altar for the black dragon and offer it with incense, what do you think?" Ji turned his head and arched his hand and said, the other party's move undoubtedly showed that he had guessed the identity of Er.

"No," said Le coldly.

"Uh," Ji looked at him in amazement.

"Don't care, his personality is like this," Meng Yun said with a wave of his hand.

Compared to the long life of the dragon clan, Er is just a teenager, and his personality is already very quiet, and the human language he has learned is limited, so he naturally speaks more straightforwardly.

"Don't talk nonsense, what about things?" said the turtle master impatiently.

"Let's go this way," Ji stabilized his mind a little and continued to walk.

"Wizard Qi is still serving in the county town?" Meng Yun said as he turned his head and said to the turtle master.

"No, my uncle is friends with Wizard Jue stationed in the county town," Ji continued, "Uncle sent me here earlier to learn spells from Wizard Jue. ”

"What about this Wizard Jue?" Meng Yun asked again.

"Master was killed by the barbarians half a month ago," Ji said with a sigh.

Everyone walked to the innermost table and stopped, Ji pointed to the wooden box on the table and said to him, "Uncle's relics are all in this box." ”

Meng Yun's eyes turned to the wooden box, raised his hand and hesitated a little, the moment he opened the box, he was almost instantly stunned.

What are the relics in the wooden box, they are clearly his weapons and equipment, Type 95 tactical assault rifles, daggers, tactical vests, damaged body armor and tactical helmets, as well as a few ** and flash shock grenades.

"What is this?, a weapon?" said Master Turtle, leaning over and pointing to the rifle.
