375 "Will Forest Inaugural Tour"
"Thirteen towers like this?"
Wutong looked at the old mage curiously, such a giant mage tower, it is clear that it is not an ancient product that can be built with the current technology, in countless years, it can be preserved, it is already very surprising to Wutong, I didn't expect that there are as many as thirteen giant towers like this on the Kovarare continent!
"Only twelve of the thirteen are actually known to have their location, and the remaining one may have been destroyed in the end-of-life catastrophe thousands of years ago, and it is said that its location is in the former Duchy of Sayre, the current [Sad's Homeland - Morad], but no one has ever found it"
Old Master Zemur picked up the teacup again, took a sip of the milk tea that had become cold, frowned, tapped the teacup with his fingers, made the milk tea warm again, looked at the mist rising in the teacup and said: "However, it doesn't matter, because even if there are twelve known locations, none of them have been completely conquered. β
Wutong was stunned for a moment, pointed to his feet, and before he could speak, the old mage laughed: "Your teacher and I are just temporary users of this Endless Tower. If someone can take control of the first eight floors of the Endless Tower under my control, then he will become the new owner of this mysterious tower. β
"Eight floors? From the outside, this tower looks like it's more than a hundred floors, right? β
Wutong looked around, and even walked to the window carved out of the tower and looked down, indeed, from the height where he was, it was only about twenty or thirty meters high, almost eight stories high.
"Why can I only use the first eight floors?" Sycamore didn't understand.
"How long did you climb the stairs before you came up?" The old mage smiled hesitantly: "If you can't find a secret about the Endless Tower, you won't be able to climb to the second floor even if you climb for a hundred years." β
"I guess too"
Wutong had climbed for half an hour before, and found that he was still less than three meters above the ground, and he had already realized this problem, and it was very likely that he would not be able to reach the first floor even if he turned around and walked down for a hundred years, so he simply stopped and waited for the old mage to get him up.
"So, your teacher and I, it took me more than eight hundred years and exhausted all the methods I could think of, but I barely climbed to the eighth floor." The old mage's eyes were blazing, and he was not embarrassed that it took him eight hundred years to climb the eighth floor, and an average of one hundred years to climb one floor, but he was a little proud.
"In addition to this Endless Tower in our Principality of Ander, which has been climbed to the eighth floor by me, the other eleven Endless Towers, the highest is only someone who has climbed to the sixth floor."
The old mage's smug beard was about to rise: "Don't underestimate the eight floors, do you know how big the space is on each floor here?" β
Wutong looked around, he and the old mage were currently in a laboratory on the eighth floor, before he arrived, the old mage seemed to be doing some strange experiments here, just from this one room, of course, it was impossible to judge how big this Endless Tower was.
From the outside, although the Endless Tower is stout, each floor is only a thousand square meters at most, but to the inside, just the place that can be seen by the naked eye, I am afraid that it will exceed tens of thousands of square meters, Wutong estimates that the area of each floor of the Endless Tower is definitely more than as large as the naked eye can see.
"So, it only took a hundred years to eat every corner of every floor, which is the proudest thing in your short life."
The old man seemed to be a little carried away, completely forgetting what he was going to say to Sycamore in the first place, the crooked building was really too crooked, and Wutong decided to stop him from turning the Endless Tower into the Leaning Tower of Pisa, interrupting his boasting: "But what does this have to do with what you said, the "Trial Competition of the United Colleges of the Pan-Covarare Continent" that I want to participate in?" β
The old mage was very angry that his disciple actually interrupted his remembrance of his past glorious deeds, and after blowing his beard and glaring for a while, he turned back to the topic, but he still started from a place where he couldn't match the Endless Tower and the Eight Poles of the "Chief War": "Now that you know the origin of the Endless Tower, you should be able to understand how many extremely valuable things are hidden inside these giant towers left over from the ancient Nether era to the present, right?" β
Wutong could only follow his words, nodding like a baby, and interjecting indiscriminately, the old man didn't know where to go crookedly.
"The main reason why the Duchy of Andel is called the 'Land of No War' is because of the existence of Arcane Academies and a large number of spellcasters all over the Principality, but it is not only the Principality of Andel that has a large number of spellcasters, Verena under the rule of the elves, and Kanas under the control of those lifeless old guys
On the Kovare Continent, there are many places with the same status as the Venane Academy, but precisely because the Duchy of Andel has the Venaeon Academy, the Venaeon Academy has the Infinity Tower, and the Infinity Tower has been developed to the eighth layer!
Therefore, no one dares to start a war against the Duchy of Adele easily, because they don't know what I have researched from the seventh and eighth layers of the Infinity Tower."
The old man's proud look made Wutong stunned for a moment, and he understood that the mystery of the arcane law that he had studied from the Endless Tower was equivalent to a nuclear threat.
"What does that have to do with Chief War?" Wutong couldn't help but weakly support the building again.
"What's the hurry! That's not it! β
The old man blew his beard and glared: "The details are not clear to you, and it has nothing to do with us spellcasters, it is the work of those dirty politicians." In short, for the sake of peace, at least on the surface, under the constraints of the "Throne Agreement" signed by [Throne Fortress], there is still a certain external centripetal force between the five human countries, so there will be a certain degree of 'academic exchange between the five countries of the Arcanic Law School', which is the predecessor of the "Pan-KovarΓ© Continent Joint Academy Trial Competition". β
Wutong suddenly, "limited technology sharing" and "arms race"?
"The current kingdoms other than the five human nations are naturally unwilling to see the human race grow again, thinking that all countries are allied countries, and under the pretext of the "Royal Power Protection Agreement" signed in the [New Throne Fortress], they forcibly joined the 'academic exchange' of the five human countries every four years, because after too long a war, the people of all races on the Kovarare continent can no longer afford another war, so the five human countries have to make certain concessions"
The old mage sighed: "The original 'academic exchange' has evolved into the current 'Chief War', a grand 'gamble' that will be held every four years, belonging to the twelve kingdoms, and the bet is that the top four winners will be eligible to enter the Endless Tower to study for one year to which the bottom four contestants belong. β
Wutong suddenly felt a lot of psychological pressure! He originally thought that "Chief War" was just like an Olympiad between schools, but now it seems that the task he is shouldering seems to be very great.
"So, as the chief disciple of our Venane Academy this time, you are not required to enter the top four in the "Chief War", at least you can't fall into the bottom four, because only by entering the middle four can you ensure that the mystery of our Venane Academy, as well as the progress of various researches, will not be known by other academies From a certain point of view, participating in this small-scale war without gunpowder smoke, you will represent our Venane Academy, and at the same time, you will also represent the entire Duchy of Andelle! For the stability of Andele, for the peace of the entire continent of KovarΓ©"
The old man stood up, put his palm on Wutong's shoulder, and with a serious expression, as if to say: Scratch the year! It's up to you to save the world!
Wutong burst into tears on the spot, our immature shoulders can't bear your mountain-like burden! What a cheat!
"Alright, that's pretty much it!"
As soon as he finished talking about the serious question, the old man Zemmour pointed to a door with a relaxed face: "You can go out, hurry up and study!" You don't have much time to waste on killing time! "Hey, hey! Who is crooked for a long time!?
As he spoke, without waiting for Sycamore to react, he waved his hand, and Sycamore saw a flower in front of him, and found that he had appeared at the foot of the huge Endless Tower again, and looked up at the towering white tower in a daze, and Sycamore took three deep breaths in a row before he couldn't help but curse.
Is this old man playing tricks? Since it's so serious, don't you say that you can open a small stove and cultivate us well, so you can also point out how to quickly improve your strength and deal with the "Chief War" that will start in less than four months, right? What's the point of throwing people out in such a daze?
Wutong, who was depressed by the old man, scratched his head, whatever, since the old man is not in a hurry, he is a junior apprentice, okay, now that he is a first-order mage, he is an insignificant first-order little mage, so there is no need to worry, why should he go!
Wutong found that this Venanne Academy adopted a completely duck-like teaching, and after accepting the students, he threw a bunch of books to the students, and then completely ignored this, and Wutong blamed the old man Zemmour and the Venane Academy, because almost all Arcane Academies are like this.
Sycamore is a little luckier than other mage apprentices in that he can now not only borrow books of any level from all the libraries of the academy, but he can also enter the royal library, and even because he has just spent 50 million gold coins in the entrance fee, he can enter any of the mage towers in the Venane Academy, ask any high-level mage or even ** master, and even borrow their spell notes.
The good thing is that he doesn't have to spend money on books anymore!
After standing at the foot of the Endless Tower for a while, Wutong suddenly found that he didn't know what to do, according to what the old man said, study? But he's here to play games, right? He's not here to go to school! Besides, he didn't even know where to start
Shaking his head, Wutong decided to put this matter behind him, what should he do, he still has several things on hand now!
First things first, make money! Fifty million gold coins! Sycamore feels that no one will believe it if he says it!
"Then you can't blame me," Wutong muttered silently, and slowly walked towards the outer city.
Back in "Secret Law Shop No. 44", some of the friends have not yet returned, Wutong summoned Xiao Xiao, who is in charge of the secret law shop, and Xiao Hachi, who is currently in charge of finances, and asks about "that matter" that he secretly discussed with the Barbarian Leader, Lin Linling, and Xiao Hachi before going to [Weeping Wilderness].
"Boss, things are going well, the Lean Pig Manager has sent a large number of people to assist us in completing this matter, in addition, the Vice President of Pastoral Wind Flower and the Vice President of Half Cigarette, after receiving the funds we transferred through the Worgold Temple, have begun to gather the people of our "Secret Shadow Guild" from all regions of the Principality of Andle, and the "Shadow Adventure Group" and "Shadow Touring Adventure Group" under their names have also set off to join us in Fairhaven."
Hachi paused, subconsciously lowered the bridge of his nose, and after flipping through her small sheepskin book that never left her, he then reported: "During the time we went to [Weeping Wilderness], the 'Will Forest Inaugural Tour' that you plan to 'cooperate' with the barbarian players has been prepared, as long as the news spreads, the first batch of 'tours' can go." β
"Good!"
Wutong nodded with satisfaction: "The sooner the better!" Hurry up and get the ad out! Little Eight headed her and hurried out with her little sheepskin book.
"Also, Xiaoxiao, the secret method store has also begun to hold a 'promotion' activity, but anyone who buys more than 100 gold coins of medicine at a time, can participate in a daily 'lottery' activity, and the grand prize is a ticket worth 50 gold coins for the "Will Forest Inaugural Tour", remember to write: package delivery! If you are unsuccessful, you can participate in the second batch for free! Kiss! β
Xiao Xiao pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked at his own boss very speechlessly, not with such a trick!
Yes, this is the money-making plan that Wutong came up with on a whim before leaving for [Wailing Wilderness] and the barbarian leader and Lin Linling.
The reason why the vast majority of players in Fairhaven City are currently unable to find jobs is because they can't get through Welllin Road, which is blocked by barbarian bandits, so why not partner with the barbarians and start a "tour group" to escort players to the town of Aoraon for the inaugural mission?
Only 50 gold!
For 50 gold you can pass through the dreaded Welllin Road! Kiss!
Although the price is a bit high, as long as you pass the terrible point of no return, you can officially receive the job assignment, which is better than not even receiving the task now, right?
Wutong calculated, the cost of players hanging up once is not low, the loss of equipment and experience, has far exceeded 50 gold coins, instead of falling on that damn Willing Road again and again, it is better to spend money to eliminate the disaster to participate in the "absolutely safe", it is said that there is a "super barrier warrior" escorted tour convoy!
Wutong can guarantee that if the inaugural group of more than 500 people gathered by the players themselves in the past, if they are lucky, maybe a very few people can break through the blockade of the barbarian bandits and enter the town of Auraon, then now, even if a group of 5,000 people comes, they may not be able to successfully pass through Welllin Road
Twenty barbarians surrounded by animal skins and carrying wooden sticks can block an entire city of people for two or three months, so how long can a group of professional barbarians who have officially taken up the martial arts profession in the Auraon Martial Arts Academy, and obtained full-body steel armor, special giant wheel battle axes and thunder totems, and unlimited super-quality potions?
In particular, there is a super orc barrier warrior, two teams of more than 1,000 wanderers and ranger adventurers, who have joined the Barbarian Bandit Bandit Bandit in friendship, and the Barbarian Bandit has received unlimited logistical supplies sponsored by a mysterious organization?
Wutong calculated that there are a total of twenty or thirty million players in the Fairhaven City area, not counting 1/3 of the deputy and production professionals, and then removing some members who have the ability to take up their own jobs, and then cutting off half of the hard-pressed players who don't even have silver coins in their deposits, and players who may be employed elsewhere, how can there be about 10 million inaugural members left?
Although the ticket price of 50 gold coins is a little expensive, it is not completely unacceptable for ordinary players, and it can be squeezed out by tightening their belts, and casual players may hesitate for a while, but those people from game guilds, game families, consortium mercenary groups and other player forces, when they hear that there is such a way to find a job, they will definitely rush to join.
Because, once the hostile forces have completed their inauguration in large numbers, then what awaits them is the time to be cleared from the sphere of influence in Fairhaven City, and at that time, they do not need to worry about the issue of taking office.
In this way, 10 million players, the "ticket" of 50 gold coins per person, Wutong felt that maybe his 50 million gold coins [Venane Mage Club] membership fee would be settled!
After explaining this "convenient business" that is painful and happy for the players, Wutong began to plunge into the sea of books, ignoring the things outside the window and only reading the sage books.
Little did he know that a strange epidemic was suddenly spreading in Fairhaven
A certain cursed land, because of their group entering, gradually began to awaken
Far away in the depths of Will Forest, an ancient ruin that has opened the second layer is undergoing a slow but unstoppable change
With the rise of a moon, in the Broken Whisper Forest in the north of Adele, a large number of primitive animals and powerful arcane beasts are gradually becoming irritable
The top management of Adele, a country without war, seems to have erupted into a lot of fluctuations because of the recent turmoil
A sniper operation against him personally began to close the net
