With the exception of Albert, the leader of the mercenaries, no one else was injured.

Albert, perhaps in the wrong position when he landed, hit his head on the discarded metal parts scattered on the ground, although he also picked up a long knife and resisted the dirt golem called Neil for a while, but after confirming that there was no danger, Albert, who had lost too much blood, finally could not hold on.

Luo Xiaotian disinfected Albert with the alcohol prepared in his backpack, and then wrapped Albert's head into a zongzi with gauze.

Leaving Albert and the others who were exhausted from using too much magic were left behind. Luo Xiaotian, Marx, Nina and the mermaid princess Helen, as well as two mercenaries who were not injured, a total of six people went to the core of the magic tower that Neil said.

If the mud puppet Neil had been slower, Luo Xiaotian and the others had already reached the core of the magic tower before, and just downstairs on this floor, the core control room that was still unlocked occupied an entire floor, and all kinds of pipes and devices that did not know the purpose occupied almost all the places.

"Warning! The core room has been invaded, the magic tower has entered the maximum alert mode, all the battle puppets of the magic tower have entered the first level of combat readiness, and the automated defense device has been activated...... Error, no available battle puppets found, error, automated defenses not turned on ...

The red magic light accompanied by the warning sound from the core of the magic tower made everyone feel like a great enemy, and it was not until the last sentence that they remembered that Neil had said that he was the last puppet that could act, but why was it that even the so-called automated defense device was useless?

There was a huge crystal ball in the center of the room, placed on an equally huge pedestal, and in the crystal ball, there were constantly various different colors of light flowing in it, which reminded Luo Xiaotian of the beautiful aurora he had seen before.

Marx circled around the pedestal and reached out to unplug one of the thicker pipes.

The light flowing in the crystal ball slowly dissipated like the afterglow of the sun after it had set.

The voice of the tower spirit, who had been trying to react, stopped abruptly, and the red magic lamp turned white again, and the magic tower that had been buried underground for an unknown number of years finally stopped completely.

"Look at this piece of paper, I found it in the back!"

"What does it say?"

Nina stepped forward, curious to see what was on the paper.

"Well, it reads: 'To the latecomers: Hello to the people who found my treasure map, I wonder if you enjoyed this treasure hunt? Hahaha! Isn't it a surprise? Don't worry, I left you with some worthless things, and I can't let you return in vain, right? After you cut off the core of the magic tower, all the closed rooms can be opened, and I left the things in the locked room on the highest floor, and if you want to leave, there is a red button on the table there, just press it. Note: I've removed all the defensive weapons in the tower, do you think you should thank me now?hahaha, I left a very interesting dirt golem, I hope you like it. 'The signature is Leander..."

"So, this magic tower has been visited by people a long time ago, and then everything was taken by him?"

Nina looked dissatisfied.

"However, I still think this journey is very exciting, forget it if there is no treasure!"

"There's nothing else in the core control room, should we take this crystal ball away?"

Luo Xiaotian looked around, and found that the most eye-catching thing was the huge crystal ball in the center, would it be very valuable?

“... I don't want to run around with such a big nucleus, and can you hold it? Now the priority is to find a way out and see what this guy named Leander has left us with?"

"Well, Marx... Although I think it's a big deal to use the roll, then let's go!"

After returning to the upstairs room and explaining to the others, Luo Xiaotian and his party of six climbed towards the top of the building again.

"Sure enough, there was nothing, it was empty... There's not even a scum left!"

Sure enough, as Leander said, it was now easy to open rooms that couldn't be opened before, but everyone was a little disappointed when two rooms were looted in a row.

It's like a disappointment with a ten-shot but white quality dog food.

I finally reached the highest floor, but there was actually an empty room upstairs that I didn't know what to do, so this was not the highest floor.

Opening the room, it seemed to be a study, the shelves were neatly arranged on the wall, but there was nothing on it, I don't know if it was destroyed by time or taken away by Leander, who came first, and there seemed to be something on the table facing the door.

Walking to the table, Luo Xiaotian put down the candle in his hand and lit up the things on the table.

It was a box of gems of various colors, and a book.

"Jewels!

Nina, who seemed to be particularly fond of gemstones, picked up one of the red gems and put it in front of her eyes to take a closer look. Helen, who was in a state of despair, poked her head out and looked at the jewel with glowing eyes.

The largest of these gemstones is the size of an egg, and the smallest is over the size of a thumb. It was not cut into the angular appearance in Luo Xiaotian's impression, but it was strangely shaped, and some were pitted.

"What's written in this book?"

Although Luo Xiaotian also likes gemstones, because they must mean glittering gold coins, which is what he needs the most. However, this book made Luo Xiaotian even more curious.

When I opened the cover, the paper inside was yellow, but it had not turned into fly ash due to the erosion of time, and it seemed to have undergone some kind of treatment. If Luo Xiaotian is not mistaken, it seems that the materials excavated from the ancient era are like this, and there is no trace of decay after more than 5,000 years.

This is a diary, and without being reminded by others, Luo Xiaotian read out the contents of it.

"July 12th, fine. I've always wondered why the creatures on this continent, whether magical beasts or plants, are the way we see them now? Today I finally got a chance when the generous Archmage Perkins agreed to help me set up a laboratory to explore the secrets of living things. ”

"August 20th, fine. After more than a month of preparation, the experiment was finally ready to begin, and I received a batch of the committee's latest experimental tools from Archmage Perkins, and I felt confident that I might be able to discover something in less than two months. ”

"November 11, cloudy. I think I'm underestimating the difficulty of this, what is it that affects the development of biology? The changes in external conditions seem to have an impact, but these changes are going in different directions, small and random. ”

"December 15th, fine. I should have thought that even if magic could speed up the growth of plants and animals, but creatures that were too large could not show strong changes, this time I decided to use frogs, and it seems that success is close at hand!"

"On the 6th of January, it rained lightly. The winter here is so cold, I heard that it snows in the north at such a time of year, so I heard that it is beautiful to have a chance to go to the north to see the snow. Not to mention that, the experiment didn't go well, changing the environment always makes the frogs change in different directions, no matter what, I can't find common ground, maybe, I should try to start with the factors inside the organism?"

"March 12th. Shocking!Animals and plants seem to be made of the same substance, what are these subtle things?Do I need to improve my microvision magic, or should I raise the mage level?"

"October 1st, fine. After learning the magic of the forbidden realm, I finally found out what is the factor that causes the change of the frog, although I can't see it, but the magic element seems to have an effect, after using the forbidden demon realm to dispel these magic elements, the external change has a fixed effect on the evolution direction of the frog, but it is still unstable, it seems that there is a chance to become? ”

"December 1st, cloudy. The improvement of Microvision magic did not go as smoothly as expected, and with the advice and help of Archmage Pugins, we tried to use the magic circle stacking technique that had just made progress, but we could only achieve three stacks at most, and the magic circle collapsed on the fourth layer. Thanks to the overlay technique though, I seem to be spotting a difference. Animals and plants have different structures, and the internal structure of plants seems to be a little more neat, but this is the limit, and the things in these structures cannot be seen with my current ability. It's a shame that exploring the inside of the flora and fauna seems to be no longer possible, but it may be the right way to go. ”

"April 10th, fine. Under the advice of Archmage Perkins, I decided to try to mix the parts of different animals and plants to see if I could make a difference, perhaps, this is how these magical beasts appeared in the first place? A supreme being mixed the first animals with other creatures to create all the creatures? etc., I always felt that I had seen such a description somewhere..."

"June 1st, fine. There are two ways to create new species through mixing. One is to use two different organisms for reproduction, and the other is to directly combine different parts of two organisms together. ... I don't like the latter method, but the first method doesn't work well, and most animals don't produce offspring, even those of similar size. Archmage Pggins is unhappy with my progress, and he needs to see more results. ”

"June 23rd. I compromised, and for the sake of my life's research, I had to accept it either way. Archmage Perkins has promised to help me build a magic tower for research, and I'm finally going to have my own magic tower too!"

"October 15th, fine. I've succeeded in creating new species!Although they don't seem to be able to produce offspring, this is already a big step forward, and the magic tower is about to be built, and I haven't given up on the method of reproducing through different creatures, I plan to build a forest outside of the magic tower as their habitat, if it can be successful. ”

The diary came to an abrupt end here, and the rest of the diary seemed to be torn out.

"It seems that this ancient magician has succeeded?"

Putting down the diary, Luo Xiaotian began to ponder, and did not answer the question of Marx next to him.
