Taking over the Tower of Shadows was easier than Duran had imagined, and Ravenjin was much simpler than the other ancient sages who had left behind the treasures, as long as he could pass the Labyrinth of Shadows, he would be eligible to inherit the treasures of this place. Under Forty-Seven's introduction, Duran roughly understood some specific situations.

The Tower of Shadows has about eleven floors, and the first floor is the Hall of the Mechanical Army where Duran is currently located. The place has no features other than emptiness and luxury, and the few rooms scattered around are also storage rooms for storing goods. The second layer is the Shadow Thief Training Base, which is most valued by Duran, and the third layer is the Rune Mage Laboratory. The fourth to ninth floors are still a forbidden place for Duran at the moment, although he is already the new owner of the Tower of Shadows, but in the words of Forty-Seven, Duran's current strength is too low, so that his authority is not high enough to reach the core interests of the Tower of Shadows.

This made Duran a little depressed, but on second thought, most of the benefits of the Tower of Shadows had already been taken into his hands, and he should learn to be content. What's more, in addition to the second, third, and third floors below, the eleventh floor, which houses the observation room and the astrology room, and the tenth floor, where the magic pool is located, are also under Duran's control. In other words, he could completely control most of this mage tower as long as he wanted to.

Duran had no experience in managing the Mage Tower, but the first priority was to find Kate and his party, who had somehow entered the labyrinth of shadows, and so did they. Led by Forty-Seven, Duran and Simodo took the mechanical elevator - a mechanical craft inherited from the gnomes that has long since been lost, but the shadow of this mechanical civilization can be seen everywhere in the Tower of Shadows.

The location of the mechanical elevator was very secretive, and if it weren't for Forty-Seven, Duran wouldn't have been able to find it at all—just on the right hand side of the escalator hung an ordinary blanket, and Forty-Seven skillfully uncovered the blanket, revealing the secret door inside, and behind the secret door was this rather simple and tough machine. With Forty-Seven's help, Duran and Symodo squeezed into the cramped elevator, and the group soon reached the tenth level of the Tower of Shadows, the true control center here.

"Most of the runes in the tower have lost their effect, but the peeping eye should still work." Forty-seven explained, leading Duran to a wide table. Duran noticed that the long table made of fine mahogany had at least one permanent [Dustless] magic solidified so that it would not be stained with dust for countless years.

The peeping eye that the mechanical golem refers to is a long monocular fixed to a table, and Duran only needs to attach his eye to the lens barrel to be able to observe the specific situation around the Tower of Shadows through the spell set by Ravenjin himself. Supporting the normal operation of the peeping eye is the mana pool of the Tower of Shadows, the nine mana pools in the area were once full of mana when the Tower of Shadows was closed, but time passed quickly, and even if the operation was kept to a minimum during this period, the mana was consumed little by little. Now the mana in the mana pool is long gone, which is why Forty-Seven reminded Duran that he can only enter and exit the thief training base ten times - the current mage tower mana reserve is in an emergency.

The peeping eye is a very useful magic, and when adventurers try to visit the residence of a ** master, they will be clearly seen by this eye. Duran curiously raised his eyes, followed the instructions provided by Forty-Seven, and silently recited in his heart: "Check the situation in the Labyrinth of Shadows." ”

In an instant, the scene in the mirror tube changed from pitch black to a dynamic pattern, and his perspective was constantly switching, as if he had suddenly arrived above the Tower of Shadows, and was looking down on the place from a high vantage point.

"It turns out that the real Shadow Labyrinth looks like this......" With the help of the Peep Eye, Duran saw the buildings around the Mage Tower for the first time, and it was slightly different from what he imagined, the four sides of the Shadow Tower were not wrapped in the Shadow Labyrinth, but were surrounded by the terrain of the Shadow Valley.

On either side of the Tower of Shadows, cliffs and cliffs tower, countless Shadow Beasts roared and roared in the wasteland, which was originally a branch of the Shadow Plane, when Ravenkin was able to separate a small piece of the Shadow Plane's space from the Shadow Plane, leaving it between the lower planes and the Fernan. The two shadow labyrinths cleverly blocked the front and back entrances of the Shadow Valley, one after the other, but if anyone accidentally stumbled into the Shadow Valley or intentionally entered the Shadow Valley, then if he was not particularly familiar with the Shadow Plane, he would definitely be swept into the Shadow Labyrinth.

To Duran's surprise, he didn't see Kate's group in the eye of prying eyes, which meant they didn't enter the shadow maze.

"What's going on? Could it be that they are in trouble in the Valley of Shadows? "Duran is a little worried, Eregar and the two ice goblins, Kate and Ironskin's safety is very important to Duran, and of course Abu the fire-eater.

It's just that there is no way to rush at the moment, he must quickly take control of the entire Tower of Shadows and take it away from here.

That's right, Duran was far bolder than the average adventurer, and the Valley of Shadows, where the Tower of Shadows was located, was actually similar to the Village of Bones, both of which were imaginary planes between the lower planes and Fanan. No matter how ingenious the design of this plane opened up by Ravenjin back then, without the mana support of the legendary mage, this plane must be sinking under the attraction of the lower plane, and when the time comes, the shadow creatures set by Ravenjin may not be able to take effect, and the Tower of Shadows will also suffer the blow of the Destruction Surname.

As for taking away the Mage Tower, Duran was not whimsical, he had already planned for it. He asked, "Forty-seven, I know that the Tower of Shadows has been solidified with a super powerful [Shrinkage] rune that can shrink the Tower of Shadows to the size of the palm of your hand. I would like to ask, is the existing mana in the mana pool enough to support the use of shrinkage? Also, after shrinking, the mana required to restore the original state is also taken into account. ”

Forty-Seven was silent for a moment, and the blue light in his eyes flickered: "The required mana is being calculated...... According to the report, the Shrinkage technique requires 3,659 mana points, the restoration technique requires 1,700 mana points, and the existing mana pool is less than 15,000 mana. If one shrink and one revert are required, the number of times the Shadow Rogue Training Base can be opened will be reduced to a maximum of six. ”

Duran nodded, since it could be reduced and restored, it must not be a problem to bring this place out. In Duran's plans, the Tower of Shadows will occupy a very important place in the future. He had already had a vast picture unfolded in his mind, and there was a place in the vast continent of Fernan, which he thought was the most suitable place to relocate the Tower of Shadows.

"Moldovac ......," Duran recited softly, the legendary sacred mountain hidden in the Land of Origin, and an ancient place that symbolizes freedom and wisdom. Not only was it blessed with fertile land and abundant minerals, but more importantly, Duran remembered that there was a pure lake of magic to the east of Moldovac, which could provide the Tower of Shadows with abundant magic.

Once the Tower of Shadows is placed there, the Mage Tower won't have to worry about the mana pool for a long time.

Although it was very difficult to light the flame of Moldovak, and the sages of humanity had already tried to follow Sivi's admonition outside the Lands of Order to open another paradise, the Great Being failed when he came closest to success. He had even completed the construction of four prayer towers, but the world was difficult to predict, and many years after the fall of the sage, Moldovak gradually faded from people's impressions and disappeared......

It's time for the descendants of the Ember to set foot on that land again. Duran thought silently in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of the words that the teacher had said to him when he died—those prophecies from the witches: [The flame of the East is about to be ignited, and the descendants of the Anzedi and the Yushen people will fight side by side. The heirs of Sivi repeat the feat of their ancestors, and a whole new world is coming.]

Could it be that the flame of the East refers to Modovac? Duran was taken aback by the thought, he had always been insensitive to witches and prophecies.

"Lord Duran? Lord Turan? Simodo looked at Duran curiously and reminded him aloud, "What should we do next?" ”

Duran came back to his senses from his contemplation, and he thought about it, it must be very cost-effective to shrink the Tower of Shadows directly, because he couldn't open this place for a long time. Since Kate and the others didn't enter the Shadow Labyrinth, the other monsters in the Shadow Valley shouldn't cause too much damage to them.

So he decided, "Open the Shadow Rogue Training Base." ”

Forty-Seven said mechanically, "Are you sure to open the Shadow Thief Training Base?" That would cost you a tenth of your mana pool. ”

"I'm pretty sure, but before I do, I'll have to go to the Runemage Lab."

……

Half an hour later, Duran walked out of the rune mage laboratory on the third floor with a depressed face, playing with a triangular talisman in his hand. Although the trip was not without its gains, he was still a little frustrated when he confirmed that he really couldn't establish a second career as a rune mage. After all, in his opinion, runemage was the best second class for assassins.

The equipment and materials in the laboratory are very abundant, but unfortunately, the place where these materials are stored requires special rune knowledge to open - if you want to do this, you need at least a gold-level rune mage to do it, and Duran's half-baked rune knowledge can only be eaten.

What made him even more depressed was that the certificate for becoming a rune mage was clearly at his fingertips - the thick [Rune Legend] left by Ravenjin and a brick was the only thing in the laboratory that Duran could use casually, but unfortunately due to the rules set by Rivenjin, Duran could not rely on this book to become a rune mage.

Another thing he can use is the talisman in his hand, this talisman was lying on the cover of [Rune Legend] when it was discovered by Duran, Duran estimated that most of it was prepared by Ruiwen Jin for the descendants who inherited his rune knowledge, and Duran, who was depressed, naturally took it away for his own use without hesitation.

This talisman has an average surname, but it comes with a powerful rune called [Crow] -

[Crow]: When you are hit by a lethal attack, your body will turn into a flock of crows and scatter, eventually gathering and respawning no more than a hundred feet away. This rune is passively active and can be used 3 times.

……

After embezzling the Raven Amulet, Duran did not stay here, and immediately took Simodo to the second layer, where Forty-Seven had already opened the Shadow Thief Training Base for Duran.
