Climb three floors upwards, and at the highest point of the tower, you will find the control room. Through here, the half-dimensional castle can travel between the real and the unreal, facing wealth and avoiding danger. However, Qian Jing only wants to use it to go home.

"Hold on! The walls here look so hard, I'm going to have to use my fists!"

The Guardian Golem stopped climbing, lying on one hand and two feet under the top floor. He couldn't make a hole in the wall higher up to hold onto, so he had to stop. The owner of the half-dimensional castle used the strongest magic spells and the strongest walls to fortify the control room, so Qian Jing had to use the iron fist of the Guardian Golem to put this reinforcement to the ultimate test.

With a punch, the visible shock wave blew away the dust, and the loud noise forced everyone to cover their ears. The walls didn't move, and the Guardian Golem's fists were slightly distorted. "Fake, right? How can it be so strong? I remember that the relevant departments have done tests, and the physical strength of the Guardian Golem is the same as the armor of the battleship turret! No matter how strong this wall is, it is only stone, not reinforced steel!"

The memory of the pen is not wrong, so it may be that the way of attacking just now is wrong. Qian Jing changed the position and angle to punch again, and this time he finally saw a change: the Guardian Golem's fist twisted and deformed, shaking from the wrist downwards. The Golem automatically mobilizes elements to concentrate on the hand, and restoration work is underway.

"No, you can't penetrate here!" Qian Jing drove the golem downwards and resumed the attack at a position where he could grab a foothold. Piercing the façade, they can see the upward-sloping staircase in the mezzanine. Normally, this is where the control room should be accessed, and it looks like this is the only way to get in.

"Let's go up!" Liu Ming and the three of them jumped up the stairs from behind the guardian golem and climbed the stairs. Several lizardmen warriors spotted the enemies behind them and rushed up from the lower floors as well. Qian Jing's golem blocked the stairs with half of its body, ready for battle.

"Aha, it's finally time to start fighting!" Qian Jing stared intently at the enemies rushing up, relying on the golem's rough skin and thick flesh, he didn't need to block those scimitars and short spears at all, just seize the opportunity and punch their bodies. The collision of flesh and steel would only be the victory of the latter, and the seven or eight lizardmen would only delay Qian Jing for a while. He stared at the stairs for a moment, and after sending a stickman to scout and make sure no more lizardmen came up, he turned around and drove the golem up the stairs.

The spiral staircase terminates at a small landing. From here on, the floors and walls are made of the same specially reinforced material. A steel door that could only accommodate one person blocked everyone, and even the doorknob with a money mirror on the door was useless. On the walls around the door are embossed maps of the Fortress Stars, with several Fortress Magic Towers marked with red crystals the size of goose eggs, and an unknown special location decorated with a fist-sized diamond.

"This door can't be opened. Liu Ming said in the telepathic communication: "The doorknob cannot be turned, but the sound of the gears clicking can be heard. Qian Jing, this is your spell, what does this voice represent?"

"I've never had that happen. Qian Jing manipulated the golem to squeeze upward, but the stairwell became too narrow here, and the walls on both sides could not be destroyed, so the Guardian Golem was stuck halfway and could not walk onto the platform. Qian Jing could only reach for one of the Golem's heads and one arm and try to punch the door. The fist shook, and the door did not move.

"No, I can't. Qian Jing said: "It's all the same structure here, and the golem doesn't need to use force." Wait, I'll take a look. ”

He sat the golem on the outer wall of the mezzanine, fixed its position and opened the cockpit. The three stickmen stayed at the golem to guard their hard-won possessions, and the rest followed the Qian Mirror to provide protection.

After stepping onto the platform, Qian Jing immediately felt that the surrounding environment had changed. Compared to other places, there is a greater power of elemental magic here. As long as he enters the meditative state of elemental perception, Qian Jing's vision will be occupied by countless magical runes. The magic techniques that were commonly used to fortify the magic tower were all over the platform and the surrounding walls at a density of tens of times. The Guardian Golem didn't notice so many runes, and only when he got close enough to feel it with the mage's body could he see this shocking scene.

"It's impossible to penetrate, at least not with the Guardian Golem. Qian Jing brushed his fingers against the wall, but with very light force, the elements of those runes began to fight back, giving him a slight burning sensation. "No wonder the golem's fist breaks! The walls here are like they're alive...... Oh, I see, this control room is a golem in itself!"

An immobile, defensive golem. The sunken painting of the doorknob of the Qian mirror is not that the door cannot be opened, but that the moment the door is opened, this conscious golem will close the door again. Sure enough, as long as the revolving door handle is turned, it will have a very noticeable rebound force, and it must be the action of closing the door that has had an impact. However, it is not difficult for Qian Jing to pass through a single door, he can directly draw a passage on the wall and get through.

The passage does not need to be too long, as long as it is stable, regular and safe. Qian Jing has always been worried that the protective runes on the wall are so sensitive, will they prevent the Mind Shaping Ink from falling on it. Fortunately, the protective runes did not repel the ink, and the ink did not hinder the movement of magical energy between the runes. The two are at peace and harmony.

"I still don't understand how you drew the magic array. Looks like I need to sign up for another magic knowledge enhancement class. The pen stood behind Qian Jing, pinched his nose and said: "Qian Jing, if you are free, how about you come to the relevant departments to give us a lecture? The pay is not low, the time is not much, and it does not affect your work in the White Flag grocery store." ”

"Don't lift me up, I don't have the skills to lecture. "Qian Jing is very self-aware, his ability to penetrate the wall and open the door cannot be taught to others at all, and he is absolutely timid when he lectures. "I owe my boss a lot of man-hours, and I have to make up for it first. When I have another holiday, I'd love to go to the relevant departments and join your training or go to cram school. Oh, it's done, it's time to go in. ”

It's another picture of a cave that pierces the boundary, and Qian Jing's painting has begun to become handy. Since this passage only needs to be walked horizontally, there is no need to draw a ladder, only the four bare walls and a gate at the end are enough. So, the red stick was the first, Liu Ming and the pen were close behind, Qian Jing was at the back, and the four of them walked in.

At this moment, the mutation suddenly appeared! The golem found that there was an inexplicable hole in its body, and immediately launched a counterattack. The glossy walls began to glow, and tadpole-like streaks slowly emerged. Qian Jing only glanced at it and recognized what it was: "Runes! Magic runes are infiltrating! Run!"

The Red Stick immediately showed the speed of the sprint, but was still a step slower. Illuminated by the light of the wall, the Red Stick shrank with each step, and the further he went, the smaller he became. He is just two more positions than Qian Jing, but his height is no longer enough for Qian Jing's chest.

"Some kind of space magic! Get out!" the pen snapped up and reversed Qian Jing's command. Qian Jing turned his head to look, and he noticed that the magic runes at the entrance were more complete, and the power was much stronger than that at the exit, which was obviously more dangerous. As a magician, he made a judgment in a split second that he had to rush forward!

"No, forward! He roared, and rushed forward as soon as possible, even if it hit Liu Ming. Liu Ming hesitated for less than half a second before making a choice: "Go forward!"

The pen and the red stick glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and ran forward. Their size is shrinking, like a huga in a twisted channel. Qian Jing took two steps forward, and also felt the space around him pressing towards him from all directions.

"This is my passage, don't try to grab it!" Qian Jing pressed his hand on the wall, released the Mind Shaping Ink, and wiped it from the runes: "Here are the walls, no runes! Here are the bare walls, no runes!!"

Colors can be used to create an image on a blank sheet of paper, or to be changed from an existing image. The Mind-Shaping Ink is like a powerful eraser, removing all runes in its path. However, the area that Qian Jing's hands could control was not enough to eliminate all the runes, and the power of space was still suppressed.

Obviously, there is only a few steps away from the exit, and suddenly the limit is out of reach. The red stick ran at the front, and he didn't stop for a moment, but the more he went forward, the smaller he became, and although the distance to the exit continued to shorten, his relative speed was slowing down due to the reduction of his height and stride distance. He exerted all his strength and continued to consume his physical strength, but he could only see the ever-growing exit, and the increasingly slim possibility of reaching the end.

Of the four, only Qian Jing was less affected. The Mind-Shaping Ink protected him, and the power of the magic runes was to retreat modestly around him. Qian Jing overtook the other three in one step, and after a few steps, he came to the exit position. He twisted the doorknob and heard a rumble behind him, the entrance had collapsed, and a shadow came over him.

He slammed the door open, and at the same time turned around and pulled the other three out with him. The three of them have shrunk to the length of the little finger of the money mirror, and they look like plastic toy figures. Qian Jing didn't bother to take a closer look at their situation for the time being, because the terrifying shadows in the passage were still spreading. He immediately withdrew the mind-shaping ink from the passage well and sealed the danger inside the wall.

The Mind Shaping Ink returned to the body, carrying an electric current that continuously stimulated Qian Jing's body. It felt the same as when the Mind Sculpting Ink returned to the normal shape of the money mirror after crawling through the twisted Boundary Piercing Hole before. Qian Jing gritted his teeth and endured the convulsions for more than ten seconds, and found that he had become a little bigger. "It was right to run forward, at least to avoid the collapsing space. You are smaller, but you are still alive. I'll figure it out ......."

A particularly subtle voice came, and Qian Jing listened attentively, only to find that it was Liu Ming's spiritual communication. Unexpectedly, after becoming smaller, Liu Ming's ability was also affected, and it was difficult to communicate clearly even if he was less than a meter away. "Qian Jing, look behind you, there is someone there!"

Qian Jing turned around and saw a fortress star lying on his back in a large recliner in the center of the room. He was dressed in ornate and elaborate mage robes, and on each finger he placed on the armrest was a magic ring of various colored gemstones. A huge gold chain resembling a black rapper hangs from his chest, and there is actually a watch hanging from it. The guy sat up slowly, picked up a crystal ring headdress from the other side of the recliner and tied it to his forehead, the blue oval crystal stone glittering in the center.

Except for a particularly wealthy piece of equipment, he was an old, confused, withered old man. The scales of the Strongholder's characteristic skin had moved away from him, leaving only scars that would not heal, like age spots all over his skin. "That's Archmage Stanch, also known as the One Who Reaches the Future. Why is he here? Surrender Qian Jing, you are not a combatant, there is no need to die here. ”

"If he was going to kill me, he did it just now when I was rolling on the ground with an electric shock. Qian Jing hurriedly drew stickmen and throwing javelins in the palm of his hand, and at the same time took out the last legion juice from his pocket with his other hand, and drank it with his neck up.

Archmage Stanch slowly dressed himself and rose from his recliner. The entire control room was empty except for the chaise longue in the center and the flickering magic runes on the walls around it. But when the great magician flicked his robe lightly and raised his cloudy eyes to look at it, Qian Jing felt that this room had been filled with his momentum, and there was no room for it.

"Those three people, I know, the origin world earth is from the earth. The archmage closed his mouth, and the voice came from his chest, still very clear. "Who are you, and why are you locked in?"

"I, I'm Qian Jing, and I'm Earthly, an employee of the White Flag grocery store. I came in because I was exchanging hostages. The more Qian Jing spoke, the more steady his voice became, and the pressure on the archmage gradually dropped with the words. "You know Ethan? He doesn't keep his promise, and I have to act to protect myself. ”

"Ah, White Flag grocery store, got it. I've met your store manager and spoken at the Core Ring meeting. For her age, she did very well. But you're not doing well to describe, it's amazing!" The Grand Magician raised his finger full of rings and said, "You're the first intruder to break through here, I always thought it was impossible. Ethan said that the White Flag Grocery Store had discovered something in the space mezzanine, and only a particularly powerful space mage could do it, and you happen to be a space mage, right?"

Qian Jing smiled, at this time, he would not humbly deny the mistake in his favor. "Archmage, I'm actually more concerned about what happens next. It's not that hard for you to raise your hand and send us back to Stronghold, right?"

"It's not difficult, I was going to send you back. The archmage said, "All along, we just wanted to imprison the contestants, so that the most precious spark of wisdom of the Fortress Star would not become a stepping stone for others. When the plan is complete, and there will be no more such danger in the future, you will be sent away safely. ”

"You cover up the torture in custody and the prisoners who were burned to ashes in the magic circle?"

"Torture because they tried to escape from prison, burned to ashes because those people committed other sins on the fortress star, murder, robbers, or human trafficking, never because they were contestants. ”

"What did Ethan come to torture and interrogate me for, murder, robbers, or human trafficking?"

"He tortured you? Then he was wrong. Stanch said calmly: "In that case, you killed him in self-defense, and I will not hold you accountable for it." Even this prison break is just a good show for me that can be enjoyed again and again. ”

"So everybody's even? That's good. Qian Jing said it very easily, but he became more and more confused about the archmage's thoughts: "So, it's time to send us back to the fortress star, right?"

"No, there's one more thing to be done. Grand Magician Stanch said, "You have not forgotten what happened here. ”
