Chapter 64: The Eye of Observation

Xiao Chen looked at the house in front of him, and his heart calmed down a little. In any case, it looks like an ordinary house. Not a cave, not an abyss, and no strange people nearby, which gave him a lot of security. But he was always a little disappointed when he thought of the great magician who everyone said lived in such a place, so he asked Claude beside him: "This is where the Tower of the Spirit Eye is located?"

Claude is a middle-aged man who does not smile, his temples are already a little gray, his eyes are always half-open and half-closed as if he has not woken up, and he is silent and polite all the way, but it is much more acceptable than his junior brother Perrin. Hearing Xiao Chen's question, he nodded slightly and replied, "That's right, the Tower of the Spirit Eye is an observer and foreseeer, we don't need to be conspicuous and magnificent, that will make it impossible for us to see clearly what we want to observe." ”

"It's like an elephant can't observe an ant's burrow?" Xiao Chen made an analogy.

"You're wise, exactly. We don't even need a lot of power, too much power will always disrupt the trajectory of the world. ”

Doesn't sound like a violent person, Xiao Chen exhaled. In fact, neither Chen Hansheng nor Luo Ling approved of Xiao Chen's acceptance of the Spirit Eye Tower's invitation again to visit that Icasa Master alone. But Xiao Chen was unwilling to put them in danger, so after several arguments, he chose to come alone.

Claude came to the door and whispered a spell, and the door opened automatically. The furnishings in the house are very ordinary, the entrance door is a hall, and the spiral stairs on both sides lead to the second floor, but Claude did not take Xiao Chen into the living room, but walked into a passage through a small door behind the spiral staircase on one side.

Xiao Chen felt strange in his heart, but he also calmed down and followed him. Meandering through several crossings, the two of them finally came to a small hall with no furnishings except for a large door in the center of the room. The door, which appeared to be made of metal, stood out of thin air in the middle of the house, carved with intricate inscriptions, and the front and back were empty.

Claude couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Xiao Chen's surprise, as if he had seen such an expression many times. He stepped forward, as if he were a guest at someone's house, and knocked lightly on the door, and it was not long before the door creaked open.

Before the door opened, Xiao Chen was guessing where this door would lead? However, Rao was prepared in his heart, and the scene after opening the door still shocked him so much that he couldn't take a step.

It was a vast expanse of hills and grasslands under blue skies and white clouds, but in the distance it was surrounded by rolling peaks, and some cattle and sheep were roaming in the grasslands, like white stars in the green night sky. However, none of this mattered, about a kilometer or so in front of the portal where Xiao Chen was, there was a tower like a skyscraper, which was the real center of the whole world.

Xiao Chen has looked up at the 632-meter-high Shanghai Tower in Lujiazui, and he has also overlooked the whole of Shanghai in its sightseeing hall. He silently estimated the distance and height, and found that the tower was no more than twice as tall as the upper central building, more than a thousand meters.

The tower was silvery-white, slender and smooth, with a slightly larger base, higher and smaller, but when it reached the top, the tower was divided into two sharp forks, like a fruit fork, and in the void at the top of the fork, a blue ball of light was suspended in the air, flashing with electric light.

Claude was obviously satisfied with Xiao Chen's shock, and he said proudly: "This is the Tower of the Spirit Eye, there are not many magic towers on the entire continent that have been passed down from ancient times like this, let alone a strange existence like the Tower of the Spirit Eye that has become a small world of its own. ”

Xiao Chen heard Morey talk about the so-called small world, which is an independent space that opens up outside the real world. The small world is self-sufficient and has its own laws of nature. Some small worlds are very similar to the real world, but some laws are very unique. According to him, most of the legendary small worlds were built by powerful people comparable to gods between the Age of Mythology and the Age of Heroes, and now the way of creating this strange secret realm has been lost. For thousands of years, some small worlds have been broken, some small worlds have been closed, and some small worlds have been disconnected from the real world, and there are fewer and fewer small worlds that exist. And a school of magic with its own small world must have an ancient heritage and a power that cannot be ignored. Xiao Chen looked up at the tower and asked, "I don't know who built this world and this tower?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. Maybe my teacher can give you the answer. Claude said with some regret.

Xiao Chen stared at the ball of light at the top of the tower, the ball of light moved according to the rhythm, swallowing the mist, which seemed to contain huge power, making people have an urge to worship. Xiao Chen looked at the ball of light, and suddenly remembered that when he had just arrived in this world, the white ball of light he encountered in the secret room under the Earl's Mansion was equally mysterious, equally powerful, but completely different. Now he and Luo Ling have gradually adapted to this world, but I don't know where the little girl named Zhou He went at that time? Maybe she has gained such a powerful power, she should start a very different journey......

"Mr. Xiao Chen, Mr. Xiao Chen. Claude watched him staring at the ball of light in a daze, and screamed a few times in a row, waking Xiao Chen up.

"I'm sorry, but is that the Spiritual Eye? I seemed to fall into a trance as soon as I saw it, and somehow remembered something from the past. It's weird. Xiao Chen said apologetically.

"That's not the Spiritual Eye. The Spiritual Eye is here. Claude pointed to his head, "That ball of light is only a part of the magic tower. Please come with me, the teacher is waiting for you on the tower. ”

Xiao Chen followed Claude along a large road through the grass to the bottom of the tower, and as he got closer and closer to the tower, the Tower of the Spiritual Eye became more and more magnificent. Walking closer, Xiao Chen found that the slender tower body looked at from a distance, and there was also a radius of 100 meters at the base. The body of the tower is made of an extremely fine white brick, which subverts Xiao Chen's cognition, anyway, there is no brick on the earth that can build such a tall house.

Xiao Chen stroked the bricks with his hand, as if he were touching porcelain. He suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart. Although this group of people fell here because of an accident for unknown reasons, most of them had a great sense of superiority when they saw the surrounding villages and towns. Even in front of nobles like Baron Goya, Xiao Chen and the others put their posture high enough. All this is based on the fact that advanced civilizations look down on backward civilizations. However, what he saw and heard today completely shook Xiao Chen's long-standing concept. Is the world really as backward as it seems?

A gate large enough for the giant to pass through slammed open. didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Chen was brought into the tower by Claude.

At the base of the tower turned out to be a small circular square with no columns and no windows, enclosed in a room. The ceiling of the square, carved with magic patterns of illumination, illuminates the square, and the square is empty, while there are many doors on the surrounding walls.

"These doors lead directly to the different levels of the Spiritual Eye Tower. Claude said, leading him to a very ordinary door, and said, "My teacher, Master Icassa, is waiting for you behind this door." ”

Xiao Chen plucked up his courage, pushed open the door, and walked inside.

It's a world of birds and flowers.

Although it was indoors, the dome was high, and a path appeared in front of him, flanked by lush plants, both tall trees and clumps of flowers. A white parrot, perched on a tree, turned its head sideways and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Welcome, welcome, please come with me. The white parrot chirped a few times, fluttered and flew deeper into the trail. Xiao Chen followed the parrot around two times and found that there was a large lawn in front of him. An old man in a simple gray robe was dozing off in a rocking chair. The old man was a little emaciated, with a mustache and gray hair. The parrot fluttered over, stopped on the armrest of the rocking chair, and shouted, "Old man, old man, you have waited for that man to come." It's a very energetic young man, open your eyes and see. ”

The old man seemed to be woken up by the parrot, he opened his eyes, waved his hand to drive away the parrot, stood up with the handrail, and looked at Xiao Chen.

As soon as Xiao Chen looked at the old man, he was attracted by his eyes, and the old man's eyes were churning with a pair of blue balls of light, exactly the same as the huge blue ball on the spire. Xiao Chen felt that his mind was shocked, his thinking became extremely stiff, and his mind became blank. Xiao Chen was very panicked, and was about to mobilize all his mental power to get out of this state, but the blue light disappeared, the old man's eyes turned ordinary brown, and all the pressure was withdrawn like a water, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

He beckoned to Xiao Chen and said, "Welcome, young man from the Tower of Dreams. I'm Icasa, please come and sit here. The old man pointed to the side, and the chaise longue became two, and there was an extra coffee table in the middle. Xiao Chen put his index and middle fingers together, nodded his forehead, performed a mage salute from afar, and then walked over cautiously.

"I have to thank you in advance. After the two sat down, an apprentice served tea, and Master Icasa took a sip of water, and then said something that surprised Xiao Chen.

"Master Icassa, this is the first time we've met now, why do you want to thank me?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.

"Hehe, I thank you because you helped my disciple Perrin. ”

Xiao Chen thought at first that Icasa was saying the opposite, and he wanted to ask him for guilt, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. But judging from his serious expression, it didn't seem to be the case. Icaza smiled and clapped his hands. Perrin stepped out from under a tree not far away.

He walked quickly to Xiao Chen, saluted him, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Master Xiao Chen, I'm ...... I apologize to you for being rude that day. I take back all the arrogant words that were uttered that day and ask for your forgiveness. ”

"It's ...... All right. That's nothing, I'm a little impulsive. I apologize to you too. Xiao Chen, who was confused, quickly stood up and accepted the apology, he felt that the current scene was especially like a parent pulling a child who had done something wrong to go to someone else's house to apologize. But it's a little funny that this happened to an adult and an old mage.

Obviously, Perrin himself was not at ease, he frowned, gave Xiao Chen another salute, and retreated.

The old mage looked at his departing back and said, "Perlin is not bad in nature, but he is spoiled by me and his senior brothers. You taught him a lesson that day, and you actually saved him. Otherwise, he will die one day in a few years at the hands of someone more arrogant than he is because of his arrogance. Of course, I'm also at fault for this. People who gaze into the distance often ignore their feet. I haven't even noticed that his mentality has changed recently because of his strength. I owe you a favor in this matter. ”

"I am ashamed to say that...... But listening to your tone, you seem pretty sure what will happen to him in the future?"

Master Icasa smiled and nodded, "You don't know why this place is called the Tower of the Spiritual Eye, do you? ”
