Chapter 21: Origin and Destiny (II)

**The Mage Tower, or "Ivory Tower" as it is called by the common people, is needless to say, a shrine for magicians. In the old days, when magicians were burned to death in the name of heresy, magicians used this place as their fortress, using countless illusions to hide it, using space warp to move the entire tower from one place to another, and using defensive circles to strengthen the tower's outer walls to almost impregnable.

In short, all the means available to defend this [homeland] have been used, so that today, more than 2,000 years later, this white tower is still standing, and it is customary to change the scenery automatically once a year.

Oh, did I say it's "standing"? That's not true. If "standing" corresponds only to the buildings built by ordinary people on the ground, then we cannot describe this tower.

Because, the entire tower, along with its foundation, has long been affected by a permanent levitation magic and has been suspended in the air a kilometer above the ground. It comes with a full set of verdant sky gardens, as well as a semi-permanent floating stone staircase that is only open to popular visitors. Unless they master extremely high-level teleportation spells, no one can penetrate the powerful protective barrier of the Mage Tower and force their way into this mage's sanctuary.

The Iron Rider landed in the courtyard of the sky. It was also the first time the knight had come to this place after Merlin left Arthur's contact information. But in order to pretend to be cool in front of the little servant, he deliberately kept quiet, and made all the exclamations of Bediwell.

"Oh, are you coming?" Merlin was already waiting for Arthur in the courtyard. He was dressed in a dark gray velvet mage robe, which reflected his silver hair and white complexion, and looked like a ghost.

Bediwell, who was still dizzy from motion sickness, was also dizzy by the magical sight in front of him. Purified crystallized light stones (magic crystals) are scattered throughout the courtyard, emitting an incredible excess of light, which contrasts with the emerald light of the glowing plants.

"Arthur, I don't think I can do it anymore. The werewolf boy only felt that his legs were weak and he was about to faint.

"Oh, don't faint just yet. Merlin appeared out of thin air behind the orc boy, supporting him with his body and covering his ears with his hands.

After a buzzing sound, Bediwell's dizziness suddenly disappeared, and the nausea of motion sickness disappeared.

"What's going on? I feel so much better?" said Bediwell, incredulously.

"The orcs get motion sickness because of the multiple helixes of the inner ear," the mage explained, "it was originally designed to improve hearing acuity, but the structure is so complex that the left and right sides don't grow in perfect symmetry - that's fine, just a little tweak." The werewolf boy was shocked: "Wait a minute, you used a spell to transform my body?!" "Yes. What's wrong?" Mage Merlin looked disapproving, "This is a beneficial and harmless transformation, isn't it? Arthur added coldly.

"But, but" his own body was so casually modified, Bediwell felt uneasy.

"I promise there will be no after-effects. "It's much easier than restoring your broken bones, and I'll have to put your bones back piece by piece." Although I couldn't find the missing pair of ribs in Zuihou, I had to fill them with pork ribs-" "Ahhhh

"Hahahahaha, this kid is so cute, I believe this joke!" said the werewolf boy Bedeville, knowing that he had been tricked, and his face was red with shame.

"Merlin, the joke is a bit overdone. Arthur said, "And, Beddieville, have you forgotten to say something? Whose blessing is it that you can now walk on your own on your own with two feet?" "Xiexie" whispered, still blushing.

"Yes, good boy. The mage toyed with the werewolf boy's ears, "But, Arthur, you shouldn't have just come to let this kid thank me, right? Let's talk about it in your lab. Arthur said.

"No, it's already here. As soon as Merlin finished speaking, the scenery around the three of them had changed, and the courtyard in the sky had turned into a dim and ancient room with a mountain of books.

"I see. Shijie no wall. Merlin said quietly, "Indeed, I tried to go to the other side of the wall, but there was a liliang on the other side of the wall that kept pushing me back. That liliang is full of evil and filthy aura, I think your claim is right, the wall of shijie should not be opened. "I don't think the ancients built those kind of big walls because they were fun. They must have their reasons for doing so. Arthur analyzed, "But there really is no compromise? the way to make the life of the Hungarians no longer disturbed by the shadow of the Shijie Wall, and there is no need to open the Shijie Wall?" "There are many ways, but there is only one way to do it once and for all. Separate the European continent and drag it all the way out of the western open sea, so that the entire dark region can be separated from the projection area of the Shijie Wall. As a result, the hours of daylight in dark areas can be extended to about 10 hours. Merlin said.

"Are you seriously thinking about it?" said Arthur coldly.

"Well, a large-scale change in the earth's crust will indeed cause a lot of deaths, but it is possible for them to evacuate in advance. Well, it is inevitable that all the buildings on land will be destroyed. Just build it again. "Forget it, when I didn't ask you. The knight said, covering his head.

"Has he always been crazy like this?" the werewolf boy whispered to his master.

"He's like this occasionally, and once he gets off the line, he can't take it back. I think magicians are probably weirdos like that. Arthur replied in a whisper.

"Ah, there's another way. Merlin said wisely: "Just dig up the land in the dark area and fill it into the sea, and then the orcs will move to the new reclamation area." "Haode, I'll go back and talk to the Grand Duke of Leon Dickens. Arthur said perfunctorily, "I should go too." "Okay then. I'm waiting for your news. I've been making no progress at all in my investigation, and I'm dying of boredom. "Also, let me have a few separate words with this kid before I go." "Whatever you want. Arthur walked out the door.

"What's wrong?" Bediwell couldn't help but be a little scared when she faced the crazy mage alone.

"Well, isn't it uncomfortable?" the mage pointed to the werewolf boy's chest, "Do you want me to help you take it out?" The werewolf boy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "No, no need, xiexie." "It's a spell made of complex magic, even if it's an orc, it's a very big burden on your body to keep that kind of thing engraved in your heart, right? And you're not an adult, so the burden on your body will become bigger and bigger as you grow. I think you feel pain even breathing now, right? "No, no. "If this is the fate I should bear, let me continue to carry it." "In that case, I won't ask the ins and outs of the matter. Master Merlin gave the boy a necklace, and the white stone pendant seemed to have some kind of magic attached to it, "Although it is a symptom but not a cure." But if you wear this, you can at least reduce the burden on your body. Bediwell took the necklace and bowed gratefully, "Once again, you, Your Excellency. ＂
