Chapter 661: Life in the Mage Tower (3)

The Mage Tower, first and foremost, is a place where magicians live, and secondly, a place to study and study, but as the three sages said, the search for the truth of the world is a long and rugged road, noble and great, and therefore particularly difficult.

The more difficult it is, the more you have to rise to it.

At first, the life of ordinary people was also extremely difficult, survival, food, shelter, safety, entertainment, faith, if you want to keep everything going, it is not enough to rely on ordinary people, because the world is full of dangers - natural disasters, attacks by wild beasts and demonic beasts, as well as alien races and even alien invaders, are not something that ordinary people can resist.

But the people were blessed by the gods.

The gods did not act directly, but gave some people the ability to transcend nature and create all kinds of awakening abilities - among them, the fighting warriors and magicians, and among them, the people who served the gods were the best, but all the time, it was still up to them that people could survive in the world.

Some people attribute everything to the gods, while others think that it is because people have worked hard enough, and the gods are at most just guides.

In any case, the gods are high, and the earth is still guarded by these professionals.

Among the professionals, the vindictive warriors serve the regime, practice and fight among the army or mercenary adventurers, the clergy serve the gods in the temples, shrines, churches, temples, and solve problems for the common people, which is more popular with the people, while the magicians prefer to hide in their own mage towers to study, only when the danger outside comes, the vindictive warriors can't stop it or the clergy have no time to take care of it, they will reluctantly take action, more often, they will only hide in the mage tower to study new magic or explore the other world outside.

Therefore, the magician is mysterious and powerful, and it is also noble and honorable, but it also makes people have more awe and fear.

And the Mage Tower only aggravates this fear......

Well, the above content is the opening prologue of the book "Introduction to the Mage Tower".

I won't comment on some of these statements, but as Leo said, in the human realm, the Minotaur the Great may be the bastard of a monster of a certain king, and the cannibalistic kind, and was killed by a human hero who broke into a labyrinth......

In contrast, the tone of this prologue is actually very mild.

It can be seen that the author of this book is supposed to be a member of the Tatu Society, so he has no gratitude to the gods.

The following part does not have this kind of commentary involving personal opinions, and it is all very straightforward.

For example, the Mage Tower is divided into several parts: the daily area, the experimental area, the danger test area, the space transfer center area, the energy core area, the control center area, the defense system area, etc.

And each area, in fact, includes a lot of building facilities. For example, the daily area includes streets, rooms, planting and farming, libraries, warehouses and the like. The experimental area and the dangerous test area have similar names, but they are completely different things, the experimental area is not much different from the daily area, in fact, it can also be outside the mage tower, such as the earliest founder of the Tatu Society, who is not accepted by other magicians, and can only conduct research in the cave, which is also considered the experimental area, and the dangerous test area must be in the mage tower, using various means to imprison the dangerous test subjects, and even destroy them if necessary - these test objects may include medium and high-level magical beasts, or even legendary species, such as dragons, Beamon Behemoth, Giant, Phoenix.

In this description, I learned that these species were extinct in the main plane, but the remaining populations fled to the alien plane and settled and hidden, for example, the dragons hid in an alien plane called the "Dragon Realm", and the phoenix was in the depths of the fire elemental plane, and the giants and the remnants of the Beamon Behemoth were in a plane called the "Endless Wasteland".

Interestingly, these remnants have not been hiding in it, and occasionally they will come to the main plane and leave their own bloodline, such as the mountain monster, the descendant of the Beamon Behemoth, and the dragon clan has left a lot of half-blood half-dragons, or Warcraft called Wulong, but these Warcraft are the weakest and most intermediate Warcraft, which is very difficult to deal with, and the Phoenix is relatively stable, but there are also rumors that some fire-type Warcraft birds are their descendants, and I doubt that the Tyrannosaurus Rex has a little phoenix bloodline, just like I have the bloodline of Minotaur the Great......

Of course, I'm more interested in why these ancient species left the main plane, but it doesn't go into the book, and I guess it is in other books.

Speaking of other parts, the most important thing is not the spatial transfer center, but the energy core area. There is the most fundamental guarantee for the existence of the entire Mage Tower. Without energy, there is no way to talk about spatial teleportation, and the people living in it will even be like prisoners trapped in the dungeon, there is only one way to die, and the body of the tower spirit is summoned there, bound to it, drawing energy from it, and at the same time dispatching the things of the mage tower and monitoring the operation of various parts.

Similarly, the control center area and the energy core area are next to each other, but that is the actual center of the mage tower, because the master there is the master of the mage tower, and even the energy core and the tower spirit must act according to the will of the tower's owner, even if the tower owner gives the order to self-destruct, the tower spirit must be fully implemented......

The defense system area is also extremely important, just like the outside countries, without a defense system, it is a lamb to the slaughter.

By the way, the defense range of the Mage Tower is a variety of spaces and planes connected from the outside Santas City to the space teleportation hub inside the Mage Tower, that is to say, in the war in the outside world, the enemy can only enter from outside the city, as long as there are no traitors inside, it is impossible for the enemy to break through from the inside, but the Mage Tower is different, if there is a malicious enemy from another plane through the space passage to Santas, you can directly enter the Mage Tower and launch an attack.

Therefore, the defense of the mage tower is much stronger and more elaborate than the outside.

However, humans and elves have documented the dangers they encounter in thousands of years of research, so there are special solutions for many situations.

Then again, with a near-infinite amount of space to use, the Mage Tower can accommodate thousands or more people, and it is no problem to expand into a single country, all it takes is energy.

I watched it with relish, and Leo spoke again: "Spread out those books that are stacked too high, otherwise I won't be able to scan the contents inside, and when you fall asleep, it will be very inconvenient for me to flip the books, and I will be discovered by Taling if I turn the books with my mind......"

I looked at it, and the study was half full, and the books were neatly stacked on the table, on the floor covered with blankets, and there were more than a dozen books in a few cases, and hundreds of books were stacked in a stack, and I asked, "How many can you see?" ”

Leo said, "It is best to have no more than ten books, no more than five, just like in the library of the temple of the city of Animo, where one or two books are best placed in one piece." ”

I said, "That's too much trouble, isn't it?" ”

Leo said, "Of course, you can also ask Taling to open it for you, but in the end, you still have to turn through each book and make a show." ”

I said, "I'm still going to have to do it." ”

Leo said: "You can also leave it alone, and when I finish reading the books, you haven't turned over those books, and it's not easy to arouse their suspicion." ”

I was a little depressed: "I still have to act, or I can't be free......"

Leo sighed: "True freedom may only be available when you transcend the entire universe...... Anyway, the so-called freedom I've seen is restricted. ”

Two-thirds of the way through the book and the afternoon came, I simply put down the books and separated them.

More than 1,600 books, divided into small stacks of about five books, are indeed not simple, and there are no more than them in the study.

Not long after I got to work, Taling asked, "Sorry to bother you, but I want to ask, do you want to separate the books?" Do you need my help? ”

I said, "Okay, help me divide these books into five books, so you can spread them out a little bit." ”

As soon as the words fell, all the books on the ground flew up, like a flock of birds that had fallen on the ground and were frightened, and they all flew up.

Then, the books soon filled the floor of the study, flew out, and spread out in the corridors, leaving only a path for me to stay.

Taling didn't ask me why I was doing this, and I was a little uneasy.

The Tyrannosaurus rex was bored, and when I saw these books, I flew up with joy and was caught by me.

"Go to the backyard and play!" I walked up to the window, pointed to the empty space in the backyard and said, "Dig up the dirt of that wasteland!" ”

"Twitter, fun!" The Tyrannosaurus rex flew out happily.

I watched it hit the ground before I turned to the books on the floor.

"You look at yours, I'll look at mine," said Leo, "and it's almost a matter of pretending to be a little faster." ”

I finished reading the rest of the "Introduction to the Mage Tower", and briefly understood the construction materials and construction process of the Mage Tower, and then found that I almost didn't know the materials needed, and even if I did, they were basically extremely rare, for example, the most common and most demanded was the bones of mid-to-high-level magical beasts, which could almost fill more than ten Sumeru bracelets......

When it comes to craft, I don't know anything other than the most basic earth-based magic, which includes - drawing, magic circle drawing, energy pool construction, plane reconnaissance, setting up spatial eyes, building labyrinths......

In fact, I recognize every word in the names of these skills, and when they are combined, I hardly know what they do.

So, I put down the book and opened the other two, called "A Guide to Life in the Mage Tower—For Prospective Mages Who Have Just Stepped into the Mage Tower" and "A Dimensional Travel Manual". I want to talk about "Memoirs of the Bull Head" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
