Chapter 17: Embracing the Sky (I)
When Joey and the others arrived, they saw the dragon body of Knox falling from the sky.
Laplace straightened his robes and floated forward, meeting up with the Magisters.
He nodded to Joey and Agnes with a gentle expression, "It's been more than eighty years since we parted from the City of Dawn. ”
Joey just snorted, "I've already helped Daybreak City deal with that gray dragon when I came, and as a member of the World Tree Council, shouldn't you bring something out to thank me?"
Laplace glanced at Joey, and in an instant, countless trajectories of fate flashed through his eyes, constricting them into an image that ordinary people could not see.
Eventually, the old astrologer confirmed that Grey Dragon Grell was indeed dead.
Agnes glanced thoughtfully at Laplace's hair.
"You just used the Great Prophecy?" Agnes began, her voice whispering like the north wind, and there was an indescribable coldness in the ethereal.
"At the cost of a few years of life, in exchange for the fall of a powerful red dragon in the Heavenly Curtain Dragon Palace, it is not too much of a loss. ”
Laplace smiled, his expression unremarkable, "Cizeriel, did you bring that kid here?"
Joey said lightly: "He's already down there, with the other two little guys." ”
An icy wind swept around Agnes, "Since there's nothing to do with me here, I'll go first." ”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, her figure disappeared into the howling ice wind.
......
on the ground.
Roland stared at Euler who suddenly appeared in surprise, "Why are you here?"
He had seen Euler, and in the "natural disaster" that broke out in the arena, he remembered that it was this young magician who teamed up with Rommel to block a large wave of living corpses, and he was impressed by it.
"Master Joy said that there is a place called Hoshimi Tower, and his master wants to look for me. Ora said, "By the way, teleported me here." ”
After a short time, Laplace and the others slowly descended to the ground and walked in front of the three young men.
"First time we met, Ola Enrest, to introduce myself, I'm Laplace, from the [Star Tower] under the World Tree Council, an organization responsible for observing fate and studying the stars. ”
The old astrologer's demeanor was as perfect as ever, "Don't wonder why I know your name, you just need to answer me one question." ”
"You, would you like to enter the City of Dawn and accept the trial?" Laplace's voice suddenly lowered.
Hearing the name of Dawnbreaker, not only Ora, but even Roland and Ziegfried's gaze at Laplace changed instantly.
"As long as you say yes, and make a vow, I can take you to the City of Daybreak. Laplace said, "You have very good magical potential and are qualified for the trials of Daybreak City. ”
"My old man vouches for St. Ingres's ass, and this wand is telling the truth. Joey walked out from behind and patted the boy on the shoulder, "Little Ora, this is your chance, take advantage of it!"
Ora, instead of immediately showing a joyful and excited expression, calmly looked into the old astrologer's deep eyes, "What can I get by entering the City of Dawn?"
The old astrologer lowered his head, looked into Euler's inky eyes, and said, "You should know that these eyes of yours are cursed, and one day you will not be able to see the light for the rest of your life, right?"
Ora nodded expressionlessly.
"The City of Dawn may not have much to offer you, allowing you to see more knowledge and a bigger world before you go blind, nothing more. ”
Euler thought for a moment: "That is enough, I accept it." ”
The old man smiled kindly, and turned his head to Roland and Siegfried behind Ora: "So, what do you two think?"
"We?" Roland raised an eyebrow.
"You also possess the talents that are valued by the World Tree Council, and if you wish, you can also enter the City of Dawn to practice. ”
"Especially you, kid. Laplace turned his gaze to the silent Siegfried, "Your teacher once told me about your background, do you want to gain more power, and one day destroy the Sky Curtain Dragon Temple and get your family back?"
Siegfried looked up, "What did you say? Do you know the teacher?"
"Of course, I was friends with him. Laplace was blunt. "In the entire world, the only one who has the ability to fight against the Sky Curtain Dragon Temple is the World Tree Council, and in the City of Dawn, your abilities will be tested, and we also need warriors like you with dragon blood. ”
After Laplace finished speaking, he was pleased to see a sparkle of persistence in Siegfried's eyes.
Hatred is indeed the greatest driving force for mankind to move forward.
Roland said lightly: "Your Excellency Laplace, you are an astrologer who can predict the future, since you have opened your mouth to send out an invitation, you must have expected that we will not refuse, right?"
"Yes, you can't refuse. Laplace smiled and corrected Roland's words, "Constantine Eliot will definitely enter the City of Dawn, and you, as his servant knight, certainly can't refuse." ”
......
Half-plane.
In Constantine's palm, the seven-colored crystal pillar had already converged into brilliance, as if it had become an ordinary crystal pillar.
Constantine's heart suddenly moved, and he felt as if it was time for him to have a magical object of his own.
As soon as this thought came to mind, the crystal pillar in his hand suddenly bloomed with an incomparably rich seven-colored brilliance, and then began to shrink, deform, and solidify into a silver-white pocket watch tied by a crystal chain in front of Constantine.
The pocket watch is set with seven gemstones of different colors, the hands are gold, and the seven gems are carved into seven different ancient runes, which are imprinted around the pocket watch dial, and the cover is hollowed out with the sun, moon, stars and brilliant patterns.
The information belonging to this mysterious pocket watch appears on Constantine's retina one after another:
Artifact --- Wheel of Fortune.
It has the attribute of being indestructible, even epic weapons forged by humans cannot destroy it, and it can resist the impact of forbidden spell-level magical energy, unless an existence involving a higher level of law intervenes.
[Wheel of Fortune] involves the basic laws of time and space, which can give the host the ability to twist the trajectory of fate in times of crisis, but only three times.
The term "Twisted Fate" surprised Constantine for a long time.
But aside from this mysterious ability, the rest of the equipment introduction alone was enough to make Constantine's heart flutter.
Each of the seven gems inlaid on the [Wheel of Fortune] can maintain a powerful spell, and the spell level is not capped, which means that Constantine will have a full seven more high-level spell slots than the crown mage of the same rank in battle.
This effect alone can at least double the mage's combat power, which is equivalent to a high-level legendary magic equipment.
But that's not all......
Additional effects of Wheel of Fortune include:
[Eternal Protection] --- activates a powerful force field shield that surrounds the whole body, resists all external material, energy, and spiritual attacks, and dispels all negative states on the body, once a day.
[True Luck] --- any spell cast by the caster doubles the chance of triggering additional effects, for example, a dispel spell only has a chance of about 5% to dispel high-level magic, but with the effect of [True Luck], the chance can rise to 10%.
[Time Confusion] --- causes the recipient's perception of time to be disturbed for three seconds.
It is indeed a well-deserved artifact.
