Chapter 44: Flame Essence

The ancient tower, made of a mixture of heavy white bricks and stucco, painted in a layer of vivid color, looked like it had not been washed by the rain at all, and the massive man-made object reached into the sky, taller than all the surrounding mountains, and in the sunlight it looked like a lighthouse, and this tower stood out from everything, including Dalaran and the mountains not far away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Merlin held a letter of introduction printed in red in his hand, he didn't know how the letter of introduction chose this delicate color, and he didn't know that Saarstahl sent him away with a letter of introduction, and fortunately, the mage tower of the six members of the Council of Kenrito was a symbol, Merlin only had to look around and look at the highest mage towers to know the location of the mage tower of Crassus.

The entrance is very wide, with a height of five meters and a width of eight meters, and the wooden gate has not undergone any treatment, has not been wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and has not been arranged with a layer of magic protection, a simple wooden gate.

There is more than one official mage in the mage tower, there are elite mages, big, mages, such strength has enough self-confidence, no idiot dares to rush into the mage tower, since the establishment of Dalaran, not a single example has appeared.

The tall wooden door allowed knights in heavy armor to enter, and even an armed war elephant could slowly enter.

A small one-meter-wide door was specially opened above the gate to allow people to enter and exit.

Merlin came to the small door, and he was just about to knock when an extremely cold voice came directly from behind the wooden door.

"Are you the new assistant?"

The voice was full of coldness, without any closeness, and the unfriendly attitude was vividly expressed.

"Yes, sir!"

"I have a letter of introduction from the Junior Academy of Magic,"

With a click, the door was pushed open, and a thin old man appeared before him, hunched over with a slow stride, his white beard, and his beard that hung down to his chest without any other variegation.

"Sir's letter of introduction," Merlin stretched out his arm, solemnly handed the letter of introduction to the old man with both hands, and motioned for the old man to take it and look at it.

"No need to look, no one in Dalaran has dared to deceive the great Lord Crassus," the old man was rude, and directly ignored the letter of introduction in Merlin's hand, he turned around and walked directly towards the mage's tower, and just after taking two steps, he found Merlin following, paused, turned his head and said to Merlin's unceremonious criticism; "Keep up,"

Merlin's face remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart, the three months of this internship are not easy to mix, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is naturally no hate for no reason, this old man does not want to see him, this is naturally not for no reason, there must be a reason for all this, it doesn't matter if you don't want to see him, but the key point is that this guy who doesn't want to see him, the next three months should be the person who is in charge of him.

The inside of the Mage Tower is completely different from the outside, when Merlin steps into the Mage Tower, the originally hot air disappears, and the temperature inside the Mage Tower is very comfortable, not cold, but not hot.

Obviously, this mage tower has the function of temperature regulation, but I don't know how to do it, Merlin's heart moved, as for scanning with a light brain, Merlin naturally didn't dare, he could be presumptuous to some mage apprentices, but he definitely didn't dare to be presumptuous to some mages, the existence of the mage tower is the foundation of the mage, a mage can only be regarded as a real mage if he has his own mage tower, the mage tower is a mage experiment, research, study, and live............... The place where the mage has laid out a lot of means, how dare Merlin have any presumptuousness.

The mage tower has no windows, but in Merlin's eyes, there is sunlight in the mage tower, and the sunlight at the bottom of the mage tower is not enough, just like the sun is going to set in the evening, but the walls on both sides are inlaid with flame essence, and the glowing light emits light, illuminating the interior of the mage tower, the location of the flame essence is very reasonable, and there is a black shield on the direction of the flame essence inlay, the shield is slightly larger than the flame essence, as long as the cover is under it, the flame essence can be covered, And the careful Merlin noticed that the shield was not covered manually, but had a mechanism control.

Merlin has studied the tools used to illuminate the night of Dalaran, and he has been collecting a lot of information lately because of the magic lamp.

Don't talk about the poor, they basically rise at sunrise and rest at sunset, there is little activity at night, they are not the object of Merlin's research, the nobles and the rich according to the amount of money, their choices are also different, people with little money use fluorescent crystals as a stable light source, this kind of fluorescent crystal has the word crystal, but it is not expensive at all, he is just a waste product of a magic experiment, it is still very unstable, the light is not as good as the firelight, it is better to be more convenient, there is no need for the firelight to be as laborious and has the danger of fire, In addition to fluorescent crystals, the stable light source is nothing more than a reflector, elemental essence, of which elemental essence is the most expensive thing, and even strange people also use a lot of fireflies, which is also okay.

Following the old man Merlin walked in the corridor and walked to the spiral staircase opposite, the old man looked not young, walking slowly, looking like he was about to die, but he had durability, and took Merlin directly to the height of at least five floors, the old man's face was not red, he was not panting, and his physical fitness was good, if Merlin hadn't practiced the knight's secret method recently, he would have been out of breath.

He pushed directly against the wall, and with a click, the wall was pushed open, a door was opened, and he led Merlin into a room.

The flame crystals in the room were brighter, and unlike the defective ones in the hallway, the flame crystals here were of a higher quality, the soft light was not dazzling, and in front of Merlin were several curved tables scattered along the walls, on which were arranged various instruments.

Some of the gold astrolabes were used as paperweights as if they would be blown away, there were no windows and no way where the wind was coming from, and a few were used as bookmarks.

"This is where I will do my next three months?"

"Not bad,"

"This is where you're going to be interning for the next three months!"

"Am I alone?"

"No, you and I," said the old man, in an unfriendly tone, and finally biting his own tone, he said without concealing his disgust; "It's a waste of time to let old Otto stay with you for three months,"

"Three months is enough time for me to complete an experiment,"

"Instead of staying here with you,"

"So the evaluation of your internship must be extremely poor,"
