Chapter 125 Arcane Hall

Thank you to all the book friends for your support! I'm not a professional writer, so I can only guarantee one update a day at most. Although occasionally you can break out and have two more, but that's just eating the manuscript. Originally, I wanted to use the two-day rest time to make a good adjustment, but it turned out that I failed, and the two-day rest time actually had no rest at all, either doing housework or spending the whole day going to Haining to sweep the grave, and tragically did a day's car.

But here I would like to thank all the book lovers and friends who supported this book! Thank you! I will continue to work hard to ensure the update! It's just that you don't expect too much, I don't have a lot of manuscripts!

That's all for -------------! We are the dividing line without discipline-------

"I didn't mean to!" The two mages crouched in the corner and drew circles on the ground, they had only wanted to get a closer look at the circle that was forbidden to all spell guilds. As a result, the spell crystals that maintained the circle suddenly shattered with just a slight touch, and there were several shatters in a row.

The magic circle, which was still emitting a little bit of light, stopped working in an instant, and then everyone felt an abnormal pressure in the space, as if it was going to crush them all. Just when the two mages were terrified, Chen Kai directly took out the found spell crystals in his backpack and pressed them hard into those grooves.

After shattering three spell crystals worth thousands of gold coins in a row due to energy pressure, the entire circle finally worked again. Of course, there were a lot of cracks and debris in the entire Arcane Hall due to the instability of the space, and everyone almost thought that they were going to be crushed by the space.

As a result, two poor unlucky bastards were sent to clean up the debris, and were required to at least clean the entire hall. Knowing that the Arcane Hall is almost a thousand square meters in size, and that's not counting the tall corridors and somewhat dilapidated staircases.

Chen Kai estimated that the two unlucky eggs would have to clean up for at least a whole day to complete, of course, the premise of this qiē was that the stones did not fall again, or that the two unlucky eggs did not touch the magic circle engraved on the side again.

As for Chen Kai, he was distressed and replaced the crystals that shattered at the slightest touch with the spell crystals in his backpack. Every time he replaced a crystal, Chen Kai felt that his money bag had shrunk by a large chunk, but fortunately, Chen Kai was not the only one who provided the spell crystal, otherwise just replacing the spell crystal of a large magic circle would be enough to make Chen Kai completely bankrupt.

Dozens of mages and spellcasters obediently dug into their pockets and took out the spell casting materials they had collected, such as spell crystals and magic crystals, as the cornerstone for repairing the operation of the magic circle. And the reason for them to obediently put their pockets is because of the structure of those circles, tinkering with them can increase their magic knowledge, and they will not become punished for sweeping the floor like those two unlucky ghosts.

However, due to the lack of materials, Chen Kai could only repair and replace those more important places, and they couldn't let the spell barrier outside fluctuate a little. Therefore, dozens of mages kept rummaging through all the information they could come up with related to the magic circle, just to increase their experience in magic knowledge by a few points.

And even if they took out Chen Kai's backpack, they already had all the materials they could find, such as the magic gold on Zhao Tiezhu's shield that was not very good. Chen Kai and the others only repaired some important magic circles, and those magic circles such as light control zhì and water vapor purification were just to enhance the decoration of the arcane hall, Chen Kai and the others directly gave up, and even removed the materials on those magic circles and rubbed the formation diagram of the magic circle.

The spell materials that were removed were cleaned and filled into those important magic circle positions, and only in this way could the spell barrier outside be re-stored for more than ten years. At least Chen Kai calculated this approximate time after seeing the obviously thicker spell barrier at the gate.

Of course, the protection that can be brought by the thickened spell barrier is also doubled, at least after those mages spend a day consuming the spell materials in everyone's backpack. This is how the crying man wrapped in his backpack looks at the barrier that emits a faint light, and this unlucky barrier caused Lao Tzu to lose a lot of money! In fact, this is the voice of all knights and swordsmen.

However, Chen Kai was very happy, because participating in the repair of the magic circle had also increased his magic knowledge a lot. While he couldn't rely on this knowledge to cast any kind of damaging spells, he could use them to learn some low-level spell skills. For example, the Mage's Hand, a non-attribute spell that is not even level 0 is something that all spellcasters need to learn, and it can help the caster get those items that are out of reach, provided that the Mage's Hand can hold it.

It is very difficult for non-magic professionals to gain experience in spell knowledge, not because they cannot read the words on the spell books, but because they cannot use magic to express the spell structure expressed by these spell knowledge.

Even though most Templars were able to cast magical spells, they were still unable to use their mana to create even the simplest offensive spell structures. For example, arcane missiles, or fireballs.

In addition to not forming the base structure of these spells, the Templars did not have the minimum elements needed to activate them. So the most they can learn is those non-attribute spells, that is, those basic spell skills that don't have any damage ability.

When night fell, Chen Kai and the others finally repaired a light staff, and when the faint magic circle began to emit a luster like sunlight, the sky outside the Spell Association had fallen into darkness again, and the bones on the road outside the Spell Association that were stored in various dark corners walked to the street again.

Perhaps the fear of meeting the Immortal, or some kind of ban, the skeletal warriors are just wandering the path in front of the Spell Guild. Even if they knew that the house had creatures they hated, flesh and blood that pleased them. The wobbling skeletons were still just lingering outside, not trying to storm the Spell Society.

For Chen Kai and the others, those high-level bones did not rush over, but they should be glad that although the entire spell barrier has been re-strengthened, its actual defense ability is still very fragile. Once they are broken by those bones, it means that Chen Kai and they will be like being run over by a road roller, no worse than that. At least some flesh can be left after being run over by the road roller, and it is difficult to leave even flesh after being crushed by space.

Under the faint light of spells, Chen Kai and the others cleaned every inch of the floor of the Arcane Hall, and that kind of carefulness was even more attentive than the little goblins that the Spell Association specially used to clean the ground. As for the little goblins that once spread throughout the Arcane Hall, Chen Kai didn't see that they were probably taken away by their mage masters or sent back to another world.

The counters that were once used to store the Spell Guild's items are now completely covered in dust, and the cabinets that once made all the mages drool are covered in a thick layer of dust and humus.

As for the few pools in the Arcane Hall that might have stored clear water with elemental aura, they have all dried up now. Moss and cracks covered the entire bottom of the pool, and the magic circle used to generate and add water elements to the water had been dismantled by Chen Kai and the others for waste use.

Although Chen Kai and the others had printed the magic circle produced by the clear water, they did not have the right materials and enough activation magic crystals and water element crystals, so they had to give up the idea of building a magic circle that produced clear water to supplement the water they consumed.

However, in the dry pool, Chen Kai and the others still kept a magic circle, the most complete magic circle, and hoped that after finding the treasure house of the Spell Association, they would have enough magic materials to activate the magic circle. Because of Chen Kai, the water they were carrying had been almost consumed in the battles and activities of the past half a month.

Scattered along the winding stairs of the Arcane Hall were rooms of various sizes, which were the residences of the higher mages, and the lower the rank, the lower the mages. And the higher the level of the mage, the higher the residence, for example, Xu Fei, before leaving the Spell Association to go out on an adventure, lived on the third floor, representing his status as a low-level mage.

Apprentices and apprentices live for the first time, with the most places and rooms for apprentices to live in. Because they have the largest number of them, followed by the trainee mage. As for the first floor, some of the rooms are apprentice's rooms, while others are passageways leading to other places.

For example, on Chen Kai's left-hand side, there is a long corridor, and on both sides of the corridor are different shops, which is where the mages within the Spell Guild sell their own items and communicate with each other. On average, these corridors appear on every three floors, representing the range of communication between the different mage classes.

Of course, this is not to say that High Mages will not sell items on the first floor, in fact, in Adolic High Mages prefer to sell items on the first floor, because the items sold on the first floor are the most demanded. Numerous mage's apprentices and apprentice mages need to purchase items, even low-level mages.

As a result, sometimes the third floor of some spell guilds does not open up such shop corridors, but instead turns them into utility rooms or real yàn rooms for high mages.

And this corridor has also become the focus of Chen Kai's search, but before searching these places again, Chen Kai asked a few priests and Templars to clean everyone up with magic magic. Completely remove the faint filth hidden in the gaps between his body and armor, he didn't want to turn those mages who might have died into dead creatures while rummaging through the loot, even if the chance was very small, Chen Kai was not willing to take this risk.

At the front of the hallway lay two small skeletons, judging by the thickness of the skeleton and the shape of the skull, they should belong to the sub-dwarf family. Of course, more people like to call them gnomes, and the dwarfs have big brains and are said to be very smart. Most gnomes are natural spellcasters and scholars, and their talent for accumulating knowledge is second only to that of goblins.

However, the relationship between gnomes and goblins is not very good, maybe because of the same altitude! Almost all gnomes think they should be a little taller than the goblins, and of course the goblins think so. And what makes the relationship between the two races bad is not the issue of altitude, but the accumulation and elaboration of some knowledge.

Because of the differences in the way they are educated and the knowledge they impart, the two races often come to different conclusions on similar issues, and although these conclusions are generally the same, even the slightest differences often cause scholars of the two races to quarrel for a long time.

If one day you see two very short intelligent beings arguing there, and calling each other a short little bean or even other words that attack each other for being shorter than yourself, it is not surprising that it must be the goblin and the dwarf arguing.

As for the bones of the two gnomes lying outside the hallway, the mages could tell from their clothes that they were two mage apprentices. And they basically didn't have anything else on them except a set of apprentice robes, which could be judged to be the kind that had just become mage's apprentices.

Judging from the direction in which the bones of the two gnomes were lodging, they tried to escape into the trading corridor, but unfortunately died on the road before they could escape to the place. And he was killed from behind with a penetrating object, which Chen Kai and the others judged from the two holes in the heart behind the two skeletons.

Chen Kai could imagine that the two young dwarfs had just wanted to escape into the trading corridor, but they were directly pierced through the chest by something behind them.

Although he guessed that the two skeletons died from the attack from behind, Chen Kai couldn't tell what weapon or spell caused the death of the two of them. However, Chen Kai can be sure of one thing, the inside of the Spell Association may not be very safe.

The many dead mage corpses in the trading corridor also confirmed Chen Kai's judgment, dozens of mage apprentices and apprentice mages were killed on the road that was no more than fifty meters long in the trading corridor, and there were several intermediate mages among them.

Most of these numerous dead were killed from behind, and a few mages were killed head-on. In this world that advocates glorious deaths, Chen Kai can't think of any other theory that can support this situation except for the strength of the other party, which makes dozens of spell professionals only think of running away but is unwilling to face the enemy head-on.

"Phew! Chief! There is nothing of value here except dust! Jones grabbed a scroll and shook it, and found that there was not even a trace of spell fluctuation except dust or dust on it.

"The books here are rotten!" Xu Fei took out a meditation foundation, only to find that the book had long been rotten and only the cover remained.

"Fortunately, this staff is still intact,......" Lancer happily tried to grab a staff that looked relatively complete, but found that when he touched the staff, the staff that looked intact was broken into three parts.

The entire trading hallway, including the apprentices' rooms on the side, looked unusually clean, or relatively clean, as if they had been ransacked. Time is a powerful weapon that has turned everything that the looters didn't take with them into rotten objects, and the once valuable and useful spell materials have also become components of dust or sludge.

"Look! What is it? Legend has it that a bottle of Junosto moonshine powder can double a girl's skin, but now it's more like sludge in the gutter! Wang Xuewen was holding a bottle in his hand, which contained something black and smelling strange, as he said, it did look like mud in the sewer.

"Looks like there's nothing good going on this floor! What are the floors of the Dumbo Spelling Society's library? After Chen Kai turned a bottle that had been used to hold a spell potion upside down and looked at it, he asked Xu Fei, who was sitting behind him with the same movement.

"Seven floors! Of course, if I were you, I wouldn't have climbed the stairs, because I guess when you climb to the seventh floor, you only have half a life left! Xu Fei said this as Chen Kai led the team into the stairs, but then he thought about it for a while and found that there seemed to be no other way to reach the seventh floor of the Spell Guild than to climb the stairs.

All stairs of the Spell Guild are made up of thirteen steps, as all mages believe that when the thirteen thresholds are crossed, the door to truth is open to them. The most important thing is that it is said that both the god of magic and the goddess of arcane law achieved the god position on the thirteenth day.

So thirteen is a very meaningful number for a mage. There are thirteen stairs at each turn of the staircase, and there are thirteen turns in total. All spell guilds only have thirteen floors, of course, the last floor is never used as a master, only legendary demigod mages can reside on the thirteenth floor of the spell guild.

Of course, it is said that the Spell Guild of Mimyelinsia in the Magic Capital has a fourteenth floor, which is where the two magic gods come to live. It is said that the greatest goal of all spellcasters in their lives is to be able to set foot on that level, and only when they become demigods will mages be allowed to set foot on that level and listen to the guidance of the gods.

And this qiē is very far away for Chen Kai, because they are trying to climb the stairs that are not too high, looking for direction in the incessant turning of the stairs. Although there are only 169 steps between each floor, not every turn is upward.

According to the mage who built the most primitive staircase of the Spell Society, only the strong-willed can see the door to the truth, so the stairs of the Spell Society have a certain labyrinthine nature, and as a result, even the old mages who have lived in the Spell Association for one hundred and eighty years may not be able to walk up the stairs to their rooms, they are more often able to fly through the guò or take a special teleportation array for up and down.

It is estimated that the designers of the stairs of the Spell Guild would not have thought about how much trouble their stairs would cause to the mages themselves, and there are at least a few hundred mages who almost starve to death every year because they got lost on the stairs.

Chen Kai's purpose was only to find the items stored in the mage's room, so they were not in a hurry to climb the stairs, so after finally climbing to the second floor, they did not continue to climb up, but scattered to various places on the floor to find things that could be used.

In the corridor on the second floor, the bones of some mages also fell to the ground, and some traces of the battle remained on the surrounding walls. Through the traces of Chen Kai, they could tell that the one who killed these apprentice mages and mage apprentices should also be a mage.

There are many rooms on the second floor, but more of them are empty houses. The maximum number of members in a spell guild is a few thousand, and the number of apprentices and apprentice mages can reach thousands at its peak. However, this does not mean that the thousands of apprentices and apprentices will live in the Spell Society, they will more often live in their own homes.

As a result, the rooms on the second floor of the Spell Guild are often empty, especially in a main city like Adog, where only the aborigines of the city once existed. It was not like the current Adolik, which was occupied by a large number of player apprentices in the Spell Society, and almost all the rooms were occupied, and even some low-level mages had to move outside the Spell Guild to live.

Six of the ten rooms on the second floor were empty, and two of them were used as real rooms, which contained some low-level spell materials and low-level spell traps whose spell effects had almost disappeared. The only effect of these traps is to spew a little spark of flame, or some freezing spots the size of a grain of rice. Some Venom Traps and Arcane Traps are more straightforward, and when activated, either a pile of stinking black matter like stool falls out, or it turns into a glowing light bulb, or it is the kind that disappears in a flash.
