Chapter Ninety-Five: The Tower of Wisdom
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The inside of the Tower of Wisdom is much larger than it looks from the outside. As you can imagine, this must be the magic of space magic.
What's even more amazing is that in the Tower of Wisdom, you can't see cold walls, but an endless starry sky!
Looking up, the endless starry sky twinkles, dotting the dark sky with light. Starlight poured down from the sky, making the surroundings seem dreamlike.
And in this dreamlike scene, a spiral staircase winds its way up. In the middle of the spiral staircase, however, there are several platforms, on which something seems to be arranged.
"It's so beautiful......" Anya looked at the starry sky in a daze, her hands spread out, as if she wanted to catch the starlight. And at this time, the posture of her little daughter made Ji Ran feel moved.
"Ahem, those people from the True God Cult should have gone up, right? In addition, this kind of scene, it is difficult for us not to be seen...... "Feeling that something is not right in his mentality, Ji Ran tried his best to shift his attention to business.
"I've never been to the Tower of Wisdom, how would I know it's like this...... But it doesn't seem like there's no chance......" Anya looked up at the top of the spiral staircase.
There are several platforms above the spiral staircase, all of which are covered with tall objects...... From this angle, you can only see a dark shadow, but you can't see what it is.
But judging by the sheer size of those things, it's really no problem to cover two people. As long as they don't meet in the spiral ladder, there are many places where two people can hide.
Entering the Tower of Wisdom, Ji Ran appeared, and his perception was suppressed to a very small extent. The Heart Sword Heart Method has provided a lot of perception of his level, and he has been pressed like this, so the gold-level priest Morse should also be affected to a certain extent. The two of them are hidden, and it is indeed unlikely that they will be revealed.
"Then let's go up!" The platform closest to the two people seemed to be quite quiet on the top, and it seemed that Morse and the others should have gone to a higher place.
Look up. The spiral staircase extends directly into the starry sky, and it is impossible to see how long it is below. Listening to Anya, there are still defenses in this tower of wisdom, presumably Morse and they can't reach the top too quickly, right?
The two of them quickly climbed up the spiral ladder. Gradually, there is a feeling of blending into the starry sky. It's an intoxicating feeling, and it feels like you're infinitely magnified. It's as if the mysteries of the whole world are close at hand.
"No wonder this place is called the Tower of Wisdom...... Just by coming in and taking a turn, there is a feeling of increased wisdom......" Ji Ran sighed.
Anya also looked up at the starry sky: "I used to think that the name of the Tower of Wisdom was because of the Eye of Wisdom, but now I know that the Tower of Wisdom itself has confirmed the name." I heard that the gold-level powerhouses in the academy will come here whenever they have any doubts, it turns out that the starlight here has such a strange effect......
"Speaking of which, what is the Eye of Wisdom? Those people came here for a purpose that probably had something to do with the Eye of Wisdom, right? Ji Ran heard the word Eye of Wisdom. I can't help but be curious.
"I don't know what it is, but I do know that the Eye of Wisdom envelops the entire Sky Blue Wind and is linked to all student IDs. If you take the initiative, you can even learn about the things that happen in every corner of the Azure Wind. Exam system or something. All of them are based on the functions of the wisdom eye. The Eye of Wisdom was created by the painstaking efforts of many alchemy masters, and I even heard that there were also alchemy masters involved. Many great mages and warriors also participated in the refining process, and one of them also used an ancient relic to create the Eye of Wisdom. If there is any most precious treasure in the Sky Blue Wind, the Eye of Wisdom must be one of them. ”
Although Anya is the granddaughter of Professor Lawrence, she still doesn't know much about the Eye of Wisdom. They know how to modify their student ID so that the Tower of Wisdom will not actively attack them. That's quite a lot of authority.
Ji Ran obviously didn't know much about the Eye of Wisdom, just knowing that the academy's system was basically based on this legendary magician. Although Anya's explanation was not very detailed, it also gave him a little more insight - for example, refining the Eye of Wisdom, with the participation of the Alchemy Grandmaster!
Ji Ran once compared his refining skills of more than 100 levels. It's a little stronger than the alchemists of this world - but it's not too strong, it's just that the concept is a little ahead of the curve, and the laws are different. If the alchemy master is a master, he must be a grade better than the master, right?
As they spoke, the two approached the first platform. Didn't wait to get up. The two of them heard a buzzing sound from above-Anya didn't know what it was, but Ji Ran was too familiar to hear it--this voice was clearly the sound of a machine!
What's the situation? Could it be the legendary alchemy machine? After listening carefully, there was no sign of human activity, so the two of them carefully touched it.
What catches my eye is one after another, huge and bulky things like jars. The jars stood on the platform, slightly lit. Each of the cans is covered with a protective cover, and the canisters are connected by translucent tubes.
If it weren't for the fact that the place he stayed in was too magical, Ji Ran would even suspect that he had entered a science fiction world.
The most sci-fi thing is not these jars, but the machine people who are in the center of the platform, bound by the light emitted by the two magic arrays, and can't move!
No matter how you look at it, it's a machine. The stout body and limbs, and the relatively small skull, a few red rays of light were turning around—if there was no accident, it should be the eyes of the machine.
These things that are suspected to be human beings are unusually tall, each of them at least three or four meters tall. The body is covered with a metal shell, but the parts inside are also exposed at the joint joints...... The rotating gears and telescopic levers look mechanical.
"Mechanical golems! It turns out that the defense inside the Tower of Wisdom refers to this! Anya exclaimed.
"Mechanical golems?" Ji Ran looked at those machine qì people - okay, it's a mechanical puppet, this thing is called this in this world? But it does look quite vivid......
"Mechanical golems are a type of puppet that is basically made of various magical metals. Ordinary mechanical golems are not of high grade because of the magic metal they use, and the magic crystals used as drivers are also low-level, so their combat effectiveness is average. But the mechanical puppets here...... Even if the combat power can't be compared to the gold level, it should be much stronger than the silver level. Coupled with the hardness of the body, the combat power of the two should be able to resist a golden rank for a long time! ”
Anya was quite proficient in this aspect, and looked at the two mechanical golems with stern expressions.
At this time, the eyes of the two mechanical puppets turned to Ji Ran and Anya. Suddenly, the red light on their heads was sheng, and they stared at the two people tightly. It seemed that they wanted to come over, but they were completely unable to move because they were trapped by the magic array.
"Get your student ID out! Mechanical golems will definitely have ranged attacks! Anya was a little nervous, and immediately took out her student ID card and shook it in front of the two mechanical golems. Ji Ran also studied immediately, which quieted down the restlessness of the two mechanical puppets.
"The magic circle should have been left by the True God Cultists. It took too long to forcibly defeat these two mechanical golems, presumably they were trying to gain time. Anya glanced at the two magic arrays. Although she is also a swordsman and is not proficient in magic, is there anyone else here other than those in the True God Order who would do such a thing?
"So what do we do now?" Ji Ran looked around. No way, he is not familiar with this magical world, at this time, Anya must be more experienced.
"I have an idea...... These mechanical golems have memorized the people of the True God Order, if we can break these magic arrays......" Anya's eyes narrowed slightly.
The two magic arrays that trapped the mechanical puppets were not very complicated, and they were not at all comparable to the one in Sergei's room. There is no way, the enchantment called the shelter should have taken a long time for the mole to arrange, and it is naturally very different from this simple magic array that was completed in a short time.
Ji Ran still has a certain understanding of the magic array, after all, he has also studied alchemy for such a long time. Alchemy and magic circles are closely related, and the two complement each other...... It's like the relationship between the formation and the refining weapon in "Cultivating Immortals".
But if he were to build a few magic arrays, he wouldn't have the ability...... After all, he majored in swordsmanship, not magic. So the current mainstream view is that the real alchemy master must be the caster!
It is impossible to rely on the knowledge of magic arrays to crack these two magic arrays. But as swordsmen, they have another way - brute force cracking!
To put it simply, it is to destroy the magic array directly. This is very difficult for people trapped by the magic circle, but for those outside the magic circle, it is much simpler.
It didn't take two minutes for the two of them to successfully extinguish the two magic arrays. The two mechanical golems buzzed twice, then turned around together, took a step, and walked directly to the top of the spiral staircase.
"Follow them! These are two qualified talismans...... "Anya was even more excited. With two mechanical golems in front, two people don't have to be afraid!
The two mechanical golems seem to be bulky, but they walk briskly, not much slower than the two of them. Soon, the two men followed the two mechanical golems to the first floor of the platform above.
And on this platform, there are still huge glittering canisters and the pipes connecting them. The buzzing sound in the quiet night sky seemed to be a little noisy.
"Why aren't there any mechanical golems here?" Ji Ran was a little puzzled. There's no sign of a battle here, where are the mechanical golems?
"Do you think that Sky Blue Wind is really rich to such an extent, and mechanical puppets are everywhere as if they don't want money? In my opinion, it's useless to put two mechanical golems here. Those who can solve the following two must not be afraid of these two. If there is any defense, it is probably at the top. Anya rolled her eyes.
Sure enough, the two mechanical golems didn't stop, and walked directly towards it.
