Chapter 268: The Beginning
Chapter 268 begins
The Tower of Trials is not majestic, and may not be a third of the height of the Tower of the Silver Moon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But the internal space of the Tower of Trials is very large, and the people who came to participate in the trials of the nine mage towers, plus the guards stationed in the Tower of Trials, all seem extremely small in this large circular venue.
Neil and his party found a row of seats to sit down at random, and Old Man Jerome was already standing on the high platform in the middle of the venue, and of course, the heads of several other mage towers were also standing on the tower. Moreover, in addition to Jerome, there are nine other mages who look even older - they are the real masters of the Tower of Trials, the real powerhouses from the nine mage towers.
At this time, a middle-aged mage walked up to the stage, first bowed respectfully to the nine masters, and then nodded to the nine Jerome Masters, then turned around, glanced at the young mages sitting around the high platform to participate in the trial, and said unhurriedly: "This trial conference has officially begun. The rules are simple・・・・・・" he said, he took out a crystal, and after injecting magic power, a picture was projected into the crystal, on which was painted a miniature totem pendant, on which were depicted intricate and mysterious symbols, which should be some kind of spell or language, but most of the people present did not know it.
The middle-aged mage continued: "Among the planes you are going to, there is a race, and their strong people wear this kind of totem pendant. Your task is to obtain this totem pendant. After you enter, the Plane Path will be closed, and after half a year, the Plane Path will be reopened. ”
"But! In order to enter the plane and return here again, you must have this totem pendant. In other words, this totem pendant is the key to your return. Without the key, you will be on that plane forever. The middle-aged mage said this, paused, and said with a serious expression: "That's right, it's to stay there forever." Don't think you'll be able to come back through the Plane Path when the next Trials begins. I tell you, that's impossible!"
The picture of the crystal projection in the middle-aged mage's hand changed, and a mysterious eye appeared in front of everyone. It was a dark red pupil, and everyone present could clearly see the lines of the pupil, and even the runes circulating inside. The middle-aged mage continued, "That plane has been watched by this magical eye. This magical eye has a magical power, and once it has lived in that plane for more than thirteen months, it will be bound to that plane forever, never to leave. It doesn't matter if you're an ordinary person or a legendary mage. Okay, you get it?"
As soon as the middle-aged mage's voice fell, the young mages underground began to talk in a low voice, and even some of the young mages were pale, as if they were facing a choice between life and death. In other words, it is a life-or-death decision. However, all the mages present were the best of the mage towers, and although they were worried, they did not choose to retreat.
The middle-aged mage looked at the group of young mages with an expressionless face and said, "I might as well tell you that half of you will not be able to come back." ”
"What ・・・・・・"
"Half of the people ・・・・・・"
・・・・・・
The noise below became more intense.
The middle-aged mage's gaze froze, and a momentum emanated, and the noise instantly subsided.
"Well, you don't have a chance to regret it. The path of the plane opens up immediately, and remember, you only have one year. With that, the middle-aged mage bowed to the nine masters and stepped aside.
The nine masters stood up, formed a circle around the tower, and chanted a syllable from their mouths in turn, only to see that the nine syllables were made of magical power, and they came together to burst out with dazzling light. Then, crazy spatial fluctuations began to come out, and everyone looked up, and a deep dimensional path entrance appeared above everyone's heads. Then, the trialists noticed a burst of attraction coming from the Plane Path, drawing them into the Plane Path.
Neil has never been so eager to learn space magic as he is now, although Neil has also experienced a lot of dimensional paths or spatial cracks, and he also knows that the feeling of the world spinning, the powerlessness that makes people drift with the power of space, also makes Neil feel very annoying. However, Neil didn't expect that this experience of the plane path would be so poor. Neil curled up tightly, desperately resisting the pain of his body as if it had been torn apart. The most important thing is that in the path of the plane, the magic is very violent, and Neil does not dare to use the elemental incarnation at all, and can only rely on the physical body to resist this pain.
Finally, after drifting for an unknown amount of time, Neil felt the pull of gravity, and then, with the earth, a kind but painful hug. Neil rubbed his almost crooked nose and stood up, patting the dust off his body as he surveyed his surroundings.
At this glance, Neil was even more depressed, surrounded by dense towering trees, and he couldn't see the sky at all when he looked up, but he still fell straight to the ground. However, to Neil's surprise, the magic in his body was gone! Neil felt his sea of magic in disbelief, but sadly found that the sea of magic was empty, and there was nothing. However, thankfully, Neil's core magic rune is the Elemental Heart, and the meditation method is a child of nature, and in this ancient forest full of life, Neil can quickly regain his magic power. So, without saying a word, Neil was about to start recovering his magic.
At this moment, a feeling of palpitations suddenly appeared, and Neil's face subconsciously changed. Neil turned around, gently stroked the ancient tree beside him with his right hand, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran towards the bushes on the side. Neil didn't dare to stay at all, and kept burrowing through the bushes taller than him. I don't know how far I ran, Neil found an ancient tree, and with his agility, jumped onto the tree in a few clicks. Thanks to Neil's elven blood, in the forest, he is not only athletic, but also has a natural affinity.
For example, when you advance through a dense woods, you will leave an indelible mark on the average person -- a dead branch or an overwhelmed weed. But the elves don't, Neil walked all the way, leaving no trace, those overwhelming weeds, messy bushes, after Neil left, all automatically returned to their original state, it didn't look like any difference, and even, these plants will help Neil hide his own smell. Moreover, being in harmony with nature also gives Neil the ability to explore his surroundings with the help of plants and other life, which is why Neil can evade pursuit.
However, Neil was still a little shocked, without any trace, the other party could be traced so far. Neil hid in the trunk of the tree, and through the gaps in the interlaced leaves, he observed several black-skinned creatures in the distance, the creatures that had been chasing Neil.
