In the far west, in the wasteland west of Violet Thorn Fortress, in the desert to the west of the wasteland, and at the end of the desert to the west, the silhouette of the Tower of Babel reaching into the sky always reflects the phantom of a mirage on a hillock in the yellow sand.

Legend has it that this tower, ruled by the Witch King, was a sacred place for the priests of the Fourth Age, just like St. Anthony's Cathedral in the hearts of the priests, so every year that every year the Wizards made a pilgrimage to the far west with the intention of making a pilgrimage.

Not every wizard who made the pilgrimage to the west made it to the Tower of Babel, and not everyone made it to the Babel Tower after deciding to return halfway, after all, the savage world has another set of rules of survival that are significantly different from the civilized coast of St. Furn, and this significant difference is like the orcs often say: "As we all know, only by serving in the army can a boy in the wasteland grow up to be a man, and only by defiling the wife of another man can he have a wife of his own, He can only have his own house if he burns down other people's houses, and he can only be considered a true warrior if he follows the invincible chieftain on the long march. ”

As a result, the westward travelers, the barren wilderness, and the warlike nature of the orcs spawned many full-time raiding gangs from the various tribes of the wasteland, resulting in a crisis in the wasteland like a poisonous snake lurking at the heels of a stranger, and could easily be sniffed by any traveler with the slightest alertness, no matter where it was.

Of course, although hundreds of spellcasters die on the way to the west every year in the Violet Kingdom, the Faentan Empire, and even the Xishilan Dynasty in the east, among the wizards who voluntarily set out to make a pilgrimage to the Tower of Babel, a few elites were able to finally reach the end of the desert after a long journey, and only after seeing the mirage refracted by the sunlight in front of their eyes did they fall down and die of exhaustion, and then further eliminate the elite of the few elites from it, and recognize the mirage presented at the end of the desert. So as to truly reach the wizarding sanctuary in their hearts.

In addition to Prince Koend, who was labeled as a legitimate illegitimate child, King Bag of the Violet Kingdom and the queen had four children, from the oldest to the youngest, Prince Simon, Prince Juventus, Princess Tifia, and a young prince who died young.

Simon Fillandez, the eldest son of King Violet, was supposed to be the most authoritative heir to the kingdom - but fate played a joke on the kingdom founded on the west coast of St. Fren's Sea, where the brilliant Prince Simon studied politics with his ministers and was obsessed with magic, so he voluntarily renounced his right to the throne after his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, and set out from the Fortress of Thorns on a journey to the West, like the passionate wizards.

His departure was a loss for the Violet Kingdom, but it also gave the ambitious Prince of Juventus and the competitive Princess Tifia the opportunity to compete for the throne, and added a new human ruler to the Wizard Tower of Babel in the Fourth Age.

Because, among the five co-rulers of the Tower of Babel, he is one of them.

Shortly after Tukub's spiritual connection to the obsidian codex was broken, the little puppet that the kobold wizard had previously summoned summoned from downstairs in the library, including him, the other four co-rulers.

Simon, Tukub, and three other co-rulers named Mulatto, Issalian, and Saprozi soon gathered with Restada in the library in the tower.

The stout dwarven wizard Mulatto, the snake-man sorceress Isarian with a snake tail, and Saprozi, who was shrouded in a shabby black robe, stood in a circle around Tukub, who was lying on the floor, and Restada, who was sitting on the edge of a bookcase, and Simon, the youngest but most prestigious, among the five co-ruling witch kings, stood up and briefly learned the cause of the incident from the mouths of Tukub and Restada, and after thinking about it, he continued to speak to Tukub: "Then, Report on the Obsidian Codex, Tukub. ”

"The Obsidian Codex has been awakened, and the place where it awakened is roughly in your hometown, the human kingdom called Violet." The kobold wizard, who was lying on his side on the floor, frowned and nodded, and the dog replied to him with a slight gasp in his mouth, "It's just a pity that our distinguished guest acted bravely and helped a young man I didn't know, and as a result, the spiritual link I established collapsed halfway through. What happened to the Obsidian Codex, I don't know. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to recall a disgusting memory, and suddenly gritted his teeth and twisted his neck to look at the place where Restada was sitting, and glared at the female mage with long purple hair with a resentful face, and scolded: "Restada, the little bastard named Fein outside of me was the most idiotic idiot in the world, but now that I have changed my mind, I think you are even more idiot than him." Tell me, why would you take such a huge risk to help him? Have you forgotten that you still have that curse on you? ”

"I certainly haven't forgotten. This damn curse has been around me since the beginning of the Second Age, and it's been with me for almost three epochs. Restada's eyes were half-squinted, and she sat limply on all fours, throwing aside the oak staff she had used to cast her spell aside, leaning her back against the bookcase behind her, and the corners of her bloodstained mouth opened softly in response to Tukub's angry words, "As for why you wanted to help that young man on a whim?" Not...... Maybe it was because I was in a good mood all of a sudden. ”

When the words fell, she tilted her head to the side of her cheek and smiled faintly, and the gaze of her eyes happened to be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to eat her gaze, so she had to persuade Tukubu with some apologies: "Hehe, don't be angry, Tukubu...... On the other hand, the Obsidian Codex is important, but don't you think it's much more interesting for a young man who can say things like 'legendary items are a fart' than a dead book? ”

"So that's why you want to me off?" Tukub grinned his teeth, his eyes glaring at Restada as if he was about to eat someone, "Majik is on top, you bastard ancestors not only wanted to kill me, but you almost killed me at that time!" If it weren't for the sheer strength you were able to show when you ignored the curse, I would have wanted to destroy you with a dissociation spell right now! I...... Ah, my head is starting to hurt again......"

With that, he raised his hands and put them in his head, and rolled on the ground in pain.

"Restada, the curse in your body has indirectly affected Tukub, and it seems that it has caused you a lot of damage." Simon lowered his head and looked at Tukub for a few more seconds, then sighed and turned his gaze to Restada, "Therefore, you and Isarian will leave here first." Isalian is a healer, and she has helped many wizards who have traveled all the way from the shores of St. Fern to help you recover from your weakened state faster. ”

"Well, thank you for that." Hearing Simon's words, Restada glanced sideways at the illustriously born young witch king, the expression on her face was as heartless as ever, and then she just casually agreed, nodding her head and agreeing to the other party's arrangement.

"Tukub." After arranging Restada, Simon looked at the snake woman next to him, Isarian, exchanged glances at her, and then looked back at the dog-headed wizard lying on the ground.

"What, Simon?" Seeing that Simon didn't seem to blame Restada, Tukub suddenly raised one eye angrily and glanced at him with dissatisfaction, "Could it be that you want to count down my dereliction of duty?" ”

"Nope." Simon crouched down, looked down at his brown dog's head, and denied, "Tukub, you'll be treated by Isarian with Restada in a moment. You've done a great job of listening to the Obsidian Codex, and I'll take care of the finishing touches. ”

"Over to you?" Tukub blinked in surprise, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Replace you to recover the Obsidian Codex." Simon looked him in the eye gently and confidently, and said in a serious tone, "Or rather, I will make a special trip back to my hometown to meet the lady who awakened the obsidian codex, and the holy knight who succeeded in destroying the obsidian codex." ”

As the words fell, he took a deep breath, got up again from Tukub's side, turned his head and stood in the direction of the east for a few seconds, thinking that the years had passed in a flash......

Almost, it's time to go home and have a look. (To be continued.) )
