Chapter 178: Trial and Trial

The hall inside the tower is much larger than Barrett imagined.

The surrounding walls are carved with purple and gold mysterious patterns, which spread out like veins, connecting the towering stone arches. Dozens of giant-shaped stone arches bent their backs and hands held up the vast dome above.

The dome is like an abyss, layered and spiraling upwards. The deep light dimmed with height, eventually disappearing into the palpitating darkness of chaos. However, in the center of the darkness, there was a little glowing starlight, flickering in the chaos.

These vast, majestic sights didn't attract Barrett's attention too much, because the fully activated crystalline construct-type golems around him around him had already made him dare not be distracted in the slightest.

"Why don't you invite us to the parlor for a cup of tea, Cortana?" Theodore Shinkin asked, tilting his head back into the female phantom in midair, "Master Keane never snubbed a guest like this. ”

The female phantom looked down at the little mage, "You and the Lord...... , familiar with Master Keane?" Her voice was melodious, no different from that of a normal person, not like a ghost, with a cold ethereal.

"I know most of his deeds, and even many of them are lesser-known. Theodore Shining didn't answer directly, "Not only that, but I also know a lot about this magic tower called 'Miana' and you as a tower spirit. I even know the whole process of how you were created!"

The little mage was clutching his beard with a calm expression, but Barrett noticed that the ends of his fingertips were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that the proud magician was also a little nervous at this time.

When the translucent female phantasm heard this, she descended lightly to Theodore's side, and without saying a word, she looked directly at the little mage.

It took nearly a minute for her to speak, "Why do you know this? Did anyone tell you, or did you come here before?"

"No, this is my first time in this magic tower, but my ancestors have lived here for almost a hundred years. The little mage said solemnly, "I am the thirty-seventh generation descendant of Crowber Shining Gold, and the only descendant of him. ”

"Oh, I see!" Taryn nodded, "Clauber Shinkling, that little dwarf, you do look a lot like him, I should have recognized you." But then again, in my eyes, the gnomes actually look the same. ”

The little mage's face flushed as expected, which made Barrett a little worried.

If Theodore were to get angry as usual and say something nasty to provoke the tower, then everyone here would most likely be torn to shreds by the surrounding hordes of golems.

"Hmph, you think I'm lying?" the dwarf mage suppressed his anger and pulled a claw dagger from the spatial ring and stabbed it in the tip of his index finger.

A drop of crimson blood surged from his fingertips. Theodore Shinkin whispered another spell and successfully cast a ring of magic 'Mage's Hand', sending the blood trembling in front of Talein, "Test it to prove that what I say is true." ”

"Why?" said Tarling, looking at the drop of blood, his expression a little puzzled, "What does it matter if you are a descendant of Clauber or not? ”

"It's important!" "Magician Theodore sustains the blood in the air with the 'Mage's Hand' through continuous spell casting, "If I am the true descendant of Crowber Flash, then I have the right to inherit this magic tower, inherit everything here, and become your new master!"

"Inherit here, new master?" a look appeared on Taling's face, "That's why you summoned the Magic Tower from the half-plane to the main matter plane?"

She flew into the air again, looking down at everyone with some contempt, "Do you really think you have such qualifications?"

"Of course!" Theodore Shining said, clenching the staff in his hand and not flinching, "Master Keane has no offspring, but he has had five students. The chief disciple, Master Black, is also missing, and has not been heard from for hundreds of years, while Master Bevis and Master Dalena, like my ancestors, have died within two hundred years, as I have ascertained in the Magical Society. And the only living Glenn mage has his own magic tower, you know, every mage will only run one magic tower with his heart, so he won't take a fancy to this place. ”

The little mage snapped his fingers and ruled them out one by one, "And apart from my father and Master Dalena, there are no heirs left. And Master Dalena became a student of Master Keane after my father, so according to the rules of human succession, I should now be the first in line to inherit this magic tower, and probably even the only one! I spent decades studying all the manuscripts left by Master Keane and my ancestors to calculate the trajectory of the half-plane where this magic tower is located, and finally arrived here. ”

"Even if what you say is true, but you still miss someone, someone more suitable than you to inherit this magic tower?" said the tower spirit as he sat in the air, his hands folded around his chest.

"Who?" asked Theodore Flash, confused.

Taling pointed to himself,

"You?" Tharing's answer made the dwarf mage's mouth open in surprise, "But, you are just a Taling, and your existence should serve the owner of this magic tower." ”

"Who says that Taling can't be their master?" said the translucent woman in the air haughtily.

"This young lady is so nice, can I kiss her?" asked the bard, whispering to the parrot on his shoulder.

"Shhh

"I've served Gen Keane for hundreds of years, and if he were here again, I'd be sure to still serve him. After all, this magic tower was built by him, and I myself was created by him, even if I was not bound by magic, I would not dare to disobey any of his orders. "But after Master Keane disappeared, I felt good without a master. So, if it were anyone else, even if your ancestor, Crowber Shine, was here himself, I wouldn't admit it. ”

Barrett could see that the Taling had not fallen into a deep sleep after losing its owner, and had not waited for her owner, or other 'destined person', to activate it again. Instead, he was in a state of complete awakening, and he operated alone for hundreds of years.

After such a long period of time, this tower spirit has become more and more autonomous and independent, and she is no longer satisfied with being a tool that does what she is told, but wants to exist as an independent individual. Except for her original master, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to conquer her.

"Of course, if you want to use force to get this magic tower, you can also try it. The new owner of the magic tower continued to say to the little mage, "If you really know this magic tower well, you should know that these little creatures around you are just a common means of defense. ”

"But, but......" The dwarf mage's face was like ashes, he obviously didn't expect that the tower spirit in front of him was actually a longing for freedom.

I hope it doesn't trigger the battle, I hope it doesn't trigger the battle, Barrett kept silently thinking in his heart.

"Of course, you, as a disciple of Master Keane, a descendant of Crowber Shinkling, have worked hard to get here, and I can't be too stingy, maybe I will share one of your secondary towers with you, if you want. Taling said magnanimously.

"Why 'maybe'? Are the sub-towers so stingy?" the little mage yelled, pulling at his beard.

"Gen Keane once said, 'Anything you get, you have to pay a price'. Ta Ling's hands were raised in the air, and he shook them towards the dome, "If you really want to get a secondary tower, then take a test with your companions." ”

As soon as her words fell, the little fluorescent light in the middle of the dome grew bigger and brighter, and finally, it swallowed Barrett and the others.

When the brute woke up again, he found them all in a green meadow with three purple dice the size of apples around them.
