It was a cloister with stairs that we followed to the summit.

Who would have thought that half an hour ago we were in a hot desert oasis, and in just half an hour, we would be in front of us with a snowy scene?

The snow peaks are extremely high, the peaks have passed through the clouds, countless white clouds rush on the mountainside like an ocean, and the sunlight shines on the white snow on the peaks, reflecting a burst of dazzling light, piercing people's eyes.

In addition to such a contrasting change in the scene, the huge temperature difference also made me unable to adapt for a while, before I went up the mountain I was so hot that I was sweating, but now I am shivering from the cold, if it were not for the soldiers who brought us cotton robes before coming to the summit, I am afraid that I would have been frozen into a popsicle by now.

It is hard to imagine that this is the summit of a dangerous peak, because there is a rare wide platform, and in the center of the platform, a white spire covered with ice crystals appears before us, and at the bottom of the tower there is a door, and a translucent ripple covers the door like flowing water.

Xiao Nan pointed ahead and asked in a trembling voice, "Is that the magic tower you are talking about?" ”

Green replied, "Yes, this is it." ”

"Teacher, shall we go in?"

Green shook his head at me, wrapped himself in his cotton robe, and said, "You guys go around the tower outside to check if there are any obvious cracks or anything like that, and then wait for me at the door, and I'll go in and have a look alone." ”

Green finished his sentence and stepped into the ripples.

The rest of us followed Grimm's instructions and looked around the minaret several times, the whole tower was covered with ice crystals, and there were no cracks on the ice crystals, as for whether the tower was damaged, we people couldn't see why, and it didn't take long to return to the tower gate to wait for Green, only Niu Kelian and the Blue brothers were still trying to find even a crack in the tower.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in front of the tower.

Xiao Nan muttered quietly on the side: "Why haven't you come out yet?" Nothing will happen, right? ”

I rubbed my numb hands from the cold, and I didn't bother to knock her on the head, only Phyllis glanced at her: "Shut your crow's mouth." ”

"Oh......"

After a long while, Xiao Nan asked, "Why don't we go in and have a look?" ”

Phyllis replied, "If you don't have the strength of the Great Magician, it's best not to go in, if you do, you won't be able to get out." ”

"Why?"

"The magic tower has its own domain, and once ordinary people walk in, it's easy to get lost in it."

Listening to the conversation between the two, a question suddenly popped up in my mind, so I asked Phyllis, "The centurion before said that the national teacher went to the magic tower to try, right?" What does this trial mean? ”

Maybe it was too boring to just wait, and when she heard my question, Phyllis simply explained it to me in detail.

"In short, the purpose of the national teacher entering the magic tower trial is to find an opportunity to break through to the magic master."

I was surprised, "Magister? ”

"That's right, if the great mage wants to break through to the Magister, he must enter the magic tower to borrow the realm to hone his magic power, so that he can have a chance to find an opportunity to break through the Magister."

"The Magic Tower Trial is divided into two situations, one is that a first-level magician breaks through to the Great Magician and needs to enter the Magic Tower Trial, and the other is that the Great Magician breaks through to the Magic Master and also needs to enter the Magic Tower Trial."

After a moment of silence, I asked, "Is there a difference?" ”

Phyllis nodded and responded: "Of course there is, the great magician can find time to enter the magic tower trial at will, because the great magician has mastered the power of the realm, so he can enter and exit the magic tower freely, but the first-level magician enters the magic tower is different, every year a large number of first-level magicians enter the magic tower trial, and no one may be able to come out alive for decades." ”

Xiao Nan put on a look of hard thinking on the side, and then asked seriously: "The national teacher is the strength of a great magician, right?" ”

Phyllis: "Yes. ”

"That High Priest is also at the rank of the Great Mage, isn't he?"

"Yes."

"My teacher is only at the level of a first-class magician, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Nan sighed deeply: "Those two great gods who can come and go at will in the magic tower have been in for a month or two, and they haven't come out yet, right?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Nan turned her head to look at me and asked, "Eh, kitten, according to that, is our teacher cold?" ”

“……”

Ignoring my numb hands, I knocked her head hard: "Can you say something good with this mouth?" Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths. ”

Xiao Nan covered her head aggrievedly and muttered, "Aren't I seeking truth from facts." ”

I glared and said, "Who is that, teacher?" Just kidding, an old turtle that has lived for more than two hundred years, have you seen it before? It's hard to die! ”

Xiao Nan looked at me dumbfounded, while Phyllis sighed on the side: "It's really worthy of being a brother and sister." ”

At this time, Niu Kelian and they also returned to the front of the tower.

Niu Kelian shook his head helplessly and said, "We didn't find anything, what about you?" ”

I shrugged: "Neither do we." ”

After a pause, Niu Kelian proposed: "Why don't we go and wait in the passage, wait in front of the tower gate for a shift change, it's not like a word for us to wait for the freeze." ”

We all agreed to this proposal and were about to turn around and leave, when Xiao Nan suddenly grabbed my sleeve: "Wait a minute." ”

We stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Actually, I just found it, but it's not a rift, it's something else." ”

I paused, almost in unison with the others, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Xiao Nan looked at the tower gate, shrunk his neck and pointed to the sky, and said, "Near the top of the tower, I saw a big spider just now, you can see for yourself, I don't dare to look at it." ”

We subconsciously looked up, but after carefully searching the top of the tower several times, we found nothing on the tower except for a thick layer of ice crystals.

I asked, "It's good to have an ant on such a high mountain, where did you get any spiders?" Are you wrong? ”

Xiao Nan still didn't dare to look up, but said on the side: "Impossible, obviously, you look for it again, a transparent spider of the same color as the ice crystal." ”

We went around again for a long time, but we still didn't find anything.

Xiao Nan paused and corrected: "It's not alive, it's like a spider carved from ice crystals, but it feels a little strange to appear on the top of the tower, maybe it's some kind of ornament, just forget it if you can't find it." ”

I was relieved to hear this, and was about to say something, when Phyllis's voice suddenly came from my ear: "The spider you are talking about, is it the one?" ”

I saw Phyllis pointing behind us in a daze, and when I heard this, coupled with Phyllis's movements, I suddenly thought of something not very good, and a cold air came through the soles of my feet and rushed straight to my heart.
