"I'd love to, but as a Knight of Virtue, I don't think I'm qualified to inherit the Mage's Tower. Aldrich Triss believed that his tactful words would have avoided the embarrassing scene of social disaster with Taring Cretins.

"On the contrary, Knight Aldrich Tris, you have noble character, but you have no spiritual purity, unlike the scavengers who collect rags on the fourth floor of the Mage's Tower, you are not greedy for superficial possessions, and what is more valuable is that you have a source of spellcasters, and this is the point. In accordance with the wishes of Master Dergon, the previous owner of the Mage Tower, you will be the first and only one in line to the throne. Having fully awakened, Chrytins regained control of the Mage's Tower, scanning the Aquamarine Tower for the first time since she had fallen asleep on her own initiative.

"Maybe I'm not as good as you approve, I'm not morally perfect, and occasionally I'm depressed and drunk, of course it's the result of my mental realm being corrupted by money, and though it's been repaired and renewed, I'm not sure I'll make it to the end. The power of money has caused many knights to fall into the gray area, and even sink into the dark realm, transforming into cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless black knights. Knight Tris still declined Taling's kindness.

"You have the source of the caster, this is the most important key, how can the person who inherits the Aqua Blue Mage Tower be an ordinary mortal?" Chrytins secretly scanned Aldrich's traces on the inner level of the tower, and found that the Virtue Knight had been lingering in the third layer of the 'Alchemy Workshop' for the longest time, and quickly deduced his 'weakness'.

"Dear Christins, I'm sure you've also noticed the young man on the fourth floor for a long time, according to him, he came from a family of scholars, and he has been interested in alchemy since he was a child, and he knows many secrets, even this mage tower. In order to get out of the way, the Knights of Triss quickly pushed Princein to the forefront.

"That short-sighted young man, as stupid as his father, should be a descendant of Pris, the only disciple of Master Dergon, if his calculations are correct. When the elemental tide receded, the cage and prison at the bottom of the mage tower, the three-headed abyssal species broke free from their restraints and fled. According to the targeted prevention plan, the master, Pulis, and I joined forces to eliminate the hidden danger, but the breath of the frost wolf passed slightly over the chest, and the master's disciple fled without self-control. With one enemy and two enemies, the original small source of spell casting that dragged Master Dergon was completely exhausted, and he fell into a long period of weakness, and was later discovered by a shadow hand, who used an ordinary short knife to take the master's life. I was forced to settle down to the Mage Tower to hide from the pretenders and take the opportunity to kill the Assassins in the dark. Unfortunately, Master Dergonne died, and the lonely me gradually continued to grow, leaving only the spiritual intelligence of activation, plus the lack of additional sources of spell casting, I could only enter a deep sleep and slowly heal myself from the plants in the Arcane Garden. Can you understand the need for an ownerless mage tower?"

Aldrich fell into a long thought due to the extraordinarily informative dialogue of Christine, and he felt that everything that happened, the collapse of the Coiling Snake Mine, the rock wall crack stairway of the underground cavern, the palace of the rock chamber, the undiscovered by the miners, the secret passage connecting the cold mountain, and the ruin-like mage tower, and even Taling Critting, all had a secret connection with each other.

I can guess the thread that ties it all together, but there seems to be a key figure missing. Could it be Princeine, no, no, he's too tender, there should be someone else. ’

'The wise guide who claims to be the heir is now transforming into a scavenger who collects rags, picking up sesame-sized silverware, but ignoring the large watermelon of the Mage Tower itself, no wonder Taling Christine looks down on it. ’

Thinking of this, Aldrich Triss sighed secretly, feeling that he was extremely lucky or very unfortunate to be the master of this mage tower, "Well, since fate has made arrangements, then I agree to become the successor of the Aqua Blue Mage Tower, but as the owner, it is necessary for me to explore all the levels completely and grasp all the circumstances. ”

"Agreed!"

"Since the seven levels above the ground, including the negative one, have already been visited, I believe you will not deny me access to the following two levels. ”

"Of course! You can do whatever you want until you're satisfied. ”

Holding a torch berry in his hand, the Virtuous Knight left the sacrificial altar and the summoning circle, and without waiting for the floating disc disc, he jumped directly down the hollow pillar passage and entered the negative second floor.

Unlike the other layers of the stone slabs, Aldrich felt as if he was stepping on the mudflats by the Lusha River, or standing in the quicksand trap hidden around the mage's tower, walking forward one foot deep and one shallow, sometimes with some difficulty pulling up the deep heels.

Confused, he lowered the torch to take a closer look at what was going on on the ground, only to see Knight Triss standing on a thick layer of moss, thick black slime coating the edges of his boots and tangling like a living thing.

Aware of Aldrich's doubts, Taling Cretin's voice immediately sounded quietly in his ears, "Ordinary peat moss, the thick liquid of the abyssal species, a new variety adapted to the evolution of the dirty elements, with a rapid growth rate, an erect wildness, and can occupy everything it can occupy." As you can see, it completely occupies the negative second level, and seems to turn this level into the stomach pouch of some kind of abyssal troll. ”

"Originally, this was used as a shooting range for arcane experiments, but it turned out to be the territory of the abyssal mutant moss, yes, really good. Tris's tone was so flat that even Taling couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"You should look at this almost out-of-control accident from a different perspective. If the use of the summoning circle is restored to lure and capture abyssal species from the bottomless abyss, then these mosses can be fed to them, and although they are not comparable to living flesh, they can fill their stomachs and give the subject enough nutrients. ”

"You can find the positive side in any unexpected situation, and I personally appreciate this optimistic attitude. Aldrich kind of likes Chrytins.

"Do you want to visit the negative third floor? There were blind spots in some areas, and my scans were resisted, which is obviously not normal, and I don't think it's worth the risk for personal safety. ”

"Thank you very much for reminding me, I don't have too much curiosity, or I can always control my rebellion very well, since there is a risk of uncertainty, then the tour will end here. The Knight of Tris stood in front of the hollow pillar, waiting for the floating disc disc as Taringkritin condensed tiny fire elemental particles on his shoulder, forming a small elf with four knuckles and dragonfly wings.

When Aldrich saw the disc sink to the minus three layers and slowly rise after a long time, he suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and the danger of clenching his heart made him jump backwards.

"What's wrong?" Taling gripped the earlobes of Knight Triss with both hands, and after swinging back and forth a few times, like a small boat, it finally found a harbor to dock.

"The floating disc has brought up from the negative third floor a danger that could kill me, or a dangerous creature of unknown details has come to find fault with the disc. ”

The elf eyes of the elf incarnated by Christine emitted a blue and white arc of electricity, swept through the net, and then nodded, "That's right, the blind spot of the negative three layers has disappeared, and it can resist my scanning, and it can indeed kill you." ”

She immediately leaned into Aldrich's ear, "We'd better make a pact right away, so I can use your source of spellcasting to use the Inner Protection Spell of the Aqua Blue Mage Tower." ”

"You can find a good side in everything, and my admiration for you is starting to flood over. ”

I can't understand the overly complex human emotions expressed in simple words. ”

In other words, due to unknowable external forces, and in accordance with the principle of mutual benefit, I agreed, and came to complete the contract. ”

"You can imitate my tone, a guest from afar, the successor of the Aqua Blue Mage Tower, you are really not a self-awakening spiritual being?"

"Are you? That's really surprising......

Chrytins opened her mouth and spat out a ruby particle, and the flames spread out, writing a complete contract on her own. Due to the time constraints, Tris hurriedly scanned all the clauses at a glance and found no loopholes that could be exploited, and immediately agreed to the byline.

The pain of peeling off the skin and bones, the tiny fragments of his soul being taken away by the contract, Aldrich finds himself missing a piece of his childhood memory, and the vague past of the Knight of Triss is becoming clearer and clearer.

'Anyway, it's not a bad thing, is it?'

Convincing yourself to accept reality, your eyes fixed on the hollow pillars that connect all the planes, the floating disc seems to carry a large load, slowly rising at twice the usual rate.

The contract appeared out of thin air, and when it was completed, it disappeared silently, and Taringkritin, who had obtained the source of the spell, reached out and pointed at it, and the ruby fruit of the torch berries spread out on its own, and was set in a circle on the 'ceiling', supported by crystal branches and leaves, and turned into a chandelier for illumination.

The dim light of the fire turns to incandescent, and unlike natural light, it is cold and soft, as if an LED energy-saving lamp has been installed.

With the help of the unusually familiar light, Aldrich seems to return to the snail's house in his previous life, lying on the bed and typing on the keyboard to hurry up and deliver, only to be pressed by a beam of lightning on a stormy night, but he is back online in another world.

"Adjusting the lighting to create the right atmosphere makes you feel like you're home, and you can often push the boundaries and push your limits. As the conversation progresses, Chrytins reverts to her former mischievous personality, 'wittily' to the point where Triss can't help herself.

After all, the biggest secret has been discovered, and this is not something to be happy about.

"In addition to the bottomless abyss, there are also several gods of the past who come from far away, and your arrival is not unusual. While this is a strange time to be at a low ebb of elemental silence, it's not unprecedented. ”

"When the danger is solved, I'll have a good chat with you. The situation was such that Aldrich's attention could only be focused on the floating disc disc, a wriggling shadow.

Two serpentine whips repeatedly whipped the ground, the abyssal moss hissed and was robbed of its vitality, withered and shrunk and retreated, and a beast without a head or tail stood with six thick legs under the white light, and the four wings on its back flapped and lifted up a cloud of smoke like ashes.

'Dijiang!'
