Chapter 125: The Metamorphosis of Acid Etching
On the small broken platform, everyone stared at the tower master in amazement, he suddenly appeared behind him, there was no trace of the war, still like a crescent moon hidden behind the clouds, indifferent and quiet, not in a hurry, no one could see through the thin layer of ochre-red cloak.
The silver-haired Effie pointed to her companion who was breathing weaker, "Tower Master!"
"If I don't answer, death has no right to take him. Master Night Phosphorus said. This sentence is very much like a line from an old-fashioned play, but it comes from the shadow of the hood, and everyone's hearts are immediately settled.
Kaye was not so calm, under the camouflage layer of the mutant slime, his thoughts and blood vessels were still gushing, his brain seemed to have a sea urchin rolling, stinging all over every nerve, his legs were overassimilated, and he was still unconscious from the waist down. He tried to calm the afterglow of the moment of life and death, observing the situation of the crowd: the silver-haired Effie and the General had regained their composure, the apprentice Pooh and the artist Cindy Arthur huddled in the corner, the former secretly looking up at him, the longing and envy in his eyes as if they were substantial, the latter like a lemur, his slender limbs and arms holding his head tight. The brunette Annott clutched the brown-haired Coren's chest, blood gushing from between his fingers. Coren was first pierced by a swordfish, then fell into the water and lost blood, and his lips were as white as a dead fish.
Healing is not Kaye's specialty, and only those mages who specialize in the Spell Creation School, or the Necromantic School, can quickly heal such serious injuries. He reached out and put his hand on the half-cut fish's kiss, and a drop of pale green glue slowly expanded, wrapping the fish's kiss, softening and eroding, and then Kaye's mind controlled the acidity to disappear, and the colloid plugged the wound to prevent the blood from flowing out.
After some delay, Kaye's cranial nerves were soothed, and he controlled the colloidal capture table to spread a path on the water, and everyone stepped on the hard ground, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time felt so relieved that the ground would not shake. The invisible servants wandering around the entrance of the passage carried the wounded away.
As soon as the situation is safe, doubts and anger erupt.
"Tower master, why is there such a dangerous monster in the tower?" said the general.
"Is Coren going to die? How are we going to talk to the Champion Imam!" said the dark-haired Annott.
"Tower Master, you're using a spell summon...... Pooh said, and then immediately lowered her head when she noticed that everyone was glaring at her.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Kaye said. "Please remember that the strings of life are always under my control. He said unequivocally, and everyone took a step back, thinking of the charred black fish bones that fluttered on the water.
The general said, "I'm sorry, tower master, everyone is just ...... Worry and fear. ”
Kaye rolled his eyes in his mind, the others were still afraid, but by no means the general, he was probably excited about the power of the spell at this time, and the spells that he saw today that could be applied to military warfare were more than in the previous half a year.
"The extra spell slots you consume today are counted as the cost of the Mage Tower, and you don't need to pay for it, and the Knight of Koren will be back in a few days. Today all classes are suspended, the Outer Law Department and the Upper Law Department are not allowed to leave the Gota Tower, the meals will be delivered to the room by the invisible servants, and tomorrow when the sun rises, everything will be as usual!" Kaye turned his back to the group, and his figure gradually faded under the illusion until it disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other, no one was interested in continuing to talk, physically and mentally exhausted, and there were wounds to be treated, and they went back to their lodgings.
Kaye climbed the spiral corridor alone, wandering outside the battle room, every detail of the battle, every incantation echoing in his head.
In the future, monsters from other planes should often be summoned as opponents for combat drills.
Oooo
Mina came running with a surging momentum that didn't match her slender figure at all, and it was hard to imagine how a tall and lanky girl could create a sense of oppression like a galloping horse.
She grabbed the placket of Master Night Phosphorus's cloak, "Is your brain corroded by acid too?"
"Relax, Mina, it's no big deal. Kaye struggled, but his iron rod-like palm didn't move.
"It's not a big deal?" Mina's eyes widened, "It's fun to fight with the monsters you've summoned in your own tower, don't you? Do you know how much supplies are stored in the two underground floors? Fifty barrels of high-quality wheat flour, fifty barrels of dried pork and venison, thirteen barrels of dried vegetables and fat, and a whole room of furs, silk, and woollen wool, fifteen boxes of papyrus, and eighty rolls of lambskin...... You should be glad that the three rooms where the casting materials are stored are sealed and waterproof, or I'll drag you from the top of the tower!" "The roar frightened the morph slimes on Kaye's face and slid down, revealing Kaye's face.
Kaye let the placket slip out between Mina's fingers, "The Shark Lord ran out of the water elementals, and I didn't put it. ”
"Aston and I both advised you that it would be nice to put a small structure between the water elementals, and that you have to make a pact with an unknown outer plane creature and leave the vital position in the care of a shark's projection. Also, don't interrupt me!" Kaye grew shorter, his legs slowly liquefied, and Mina condescended, with one hand on her hip, "Do you have to fight him?" Not to mention that you have to do it, you have the [Expulsion] scroll with you, and you can throw the projection back to the water elemental plane in three seconds, you just like to vaporize living things with acid!"
Kaye let Mina finish yelling before saying, "If I don't do that, Master Night Phosphorus's prestige in the Outer Law Department and the Upper Law Department will also evaporate. Now, their attitude is truly 'in awe'. ”
"Rotten reason, in exchange for one-sixth of our total fortune, it's so expensive to be in awe, hey, you don't have to kneel even if you have a weak heart, do you?" Mina was surprised to see that Kaye was getting shorter and shorter, and hurriedly grabbed him.
Kaye's face turned blue, "Physical assimilation is beyond the threshold, help me back to my room." His legs were like a dying slug, unformed on the ground, and his clothes were melting, dripping drops of residual fluid. The pet jelly loses consciousness and is unable to condense her body.
Mina picked him up neatly and ran away, Kaye said helplessly: "It's not the first time, it's not that urgent, and it's ...... Can't you carry it on your back, you have to be hugged by the princess?"
Mina gritted her teeth, "You slimy slug, the back of my robe is hard to wash!"
At the staircase from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, there were two hideous gargoyles, and everyone knew that if they stepped rashly, these terrible obsidian statues would suddenly come to life, and with one claw they would open the skull of the intruder, and the Outer and Upper Dharma Divisions had never entered the fifth floor. In fact, the process of making gargoyles cost more than 50 million gold coins, and Mina insisted that it was too much of a luxury to look at the door with a moving vault, so the two statues were just ordinary obsidian statues.
Mina rushed through the wind and climbed the narrow spiral staircase, where she saw the heavy black wooden door on the fifth floor but didn't approach it - it was the illusion wall, and anyone who did open the door would fall directly into the trash chute on the third basement floor of the tower, and even if luck didn't fall to her death, the "workers" that Kaye threw below to dispose of the garbage would entertain the comer. Mina only stepped on the odd number of stairs to go upstairs, and when she reached the end, she went back three steps, and then one step forward, and the spiral staircase clicked, slowly rotating upwards and moving vertically.
Walk past the fifth floor of the Arcane Library, Copy Room, and Small Crafting Factory, and the sixth floor, where Mina is in charge, with the Arcane Garden, the Potions Storage, the Discovery Chamber, and her beloved personal kitchen. Straight to the seventh floor, where Kaye is in charge. This is the most dangerous and magically dense level, and Mina walks through the otherworldly creature summoning room and the captivity, and several strange roars are heard from inside, startling her.
"What did you summon again?"
Kaye pouted and didn't speak.
"Whatever it is, don't let it out!"
Heading straight for the tower master's private lab, Kaye raised his hand to unlock three different sets of spells, and Mina kicked the door open, placing him on the dissecting table. There is a human-shaped depression in the center of the table to collect the dripping glue. Mina turned her back to Kaye, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, swearing.
"One huddles in the library as a turtle, the other knows how to have fun with himself all day long, and no one ever thinks about it for me. She grabbed a piece of strong acid ore with ceramic tweezers, threw it into a beaker, and poured in the potion of ten thousand dissolutes. Small bubbles bubbled up from the ore, and Mina, who felt it dissolved too slowly, unleashed a sonic spell that missed the alignment and shattered along with the beaker, scattering acid water and broken glass all over the floor.
"Rubbish! profiteer! I will never order this vessel again!" Mina was so angry that she became more and more busy, and had to start all over again.
Kaye looked at his female companion, and although she kept her back to him and cursed menacingly, Kaye knew that she was hiding her reddish eyes. Although Mina's temper has become more and more violent in recent years, under her increasingly strong appearance, she is still the timid girl who hides behind Kaye.
Kaye stretched out his arm to take Mina's hand and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here." ”
His back trembled, withdrew his arm, and continued to stir the solvent. "I'm paralyzed and bragging to me!"
Kaye turned Mina around, looked at each other, and said seriously, "I know what you're worried about, five years ago we were swindlers and vagabonds who fought with wild dogs for stinky bread, and now we live in towers overlooking the capital of a country, enjoying the sycophants of nobles and soldiers, and our words and deeds affect the fate of thousands. You feel that this is unreal, like a thatched palace, and you are afraid that when you wake up, everything will be gone with the wind. So the more they respect you, the more scared you are. ”
Mina lowered her head, half-silent, and poured the pungent acid from the beaker onto Kaye's legs. When the glue touches the strong acid, it constricts spasmodically and devours the acid. An ignorant eyeball emerges from the glue, and the pet awakens.
"Aren't you afraid? The emperor and his ministers regard you as an unfathomable antique, and the common people consider you to be the god of lamps who make wishes. But we don't have that much power at all! Everything is based on a few magic items, and the assimilation of your body with serious side effects. ”
"I'm also afraid that those overweight expectations and praise will keep me awake night after night. Will we never be able to face it calmly?"
Kaye manipulated the pet with his mind, and the colloid recoalesced and clung to it.
"So when I found out that the giant shark projection was running out, I realized it was an opportunity to test. Without the use of scrolls and magic items, with only the mage level blessed by gems, I defeated it!A shallow sea lord who has grown up in the water elemental plane for at least fifty years and has a mage level of no less than 12!" Kaye's eyes burned, and he rolled over and got off the dissecting table.
"At that time, I accepted the awe shown by the Ministry of Foreign Law. I don't need to be afraid, you understand, Mina. ”
After hearing this, the thin black girl smashed the beaker, "You will say beautiful things, and the mess downstairs will clean up by yourself!" She regained her momentum and opened the door, only to find Aston outside making a gesture and raising her hand in embarrassment.
"Did I disturb you?"
Kaye laughed and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Aston said a little uneasily, "After I finished treating the wounded, I took me to the fourth floor and walked around the outside of the water elemental room...... Judging by the signs, someone opened the curse lock that sealed the door and broke into it, causing the guards to lose control. We...... It's been invaded!"
Kaye's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Oh? ”
Mina rolled her eyes and turned around helplessly.
