Chapter 3: The Chamber of Secrets

Tang Mo opened his eyes, this was an enclosed space, the walls around it were square, and he didn't know what material it was made of. There are no windows on the wall www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, and there are no lights in the room, only a faint red light appears on the ground under your feet.

With the faint red light, Tang Mo walked around the four walls, and found no trace of the portal, only the red light on the ground formed a large six-pointed star, which occupied almost half of the space in this secret room. He estimated that the six-pointed star could be about twenty meters in diameter, and a small circle was depicted on the six corners, with runes drawn inside, and runes were also drawn in the central area between the six corners.

It is supported by six sharp corners, and is surrounded by a large ring. The entire interior of the outer ring, including the six sharp corners and the empty part of the inner center, is covered with various sun, moon and star textures. These textures are like real celestial bodies, following their own trajectories rising and falling, over and over again.

The fiery red light gradually extinguished, and Tang Mo heard a series of clicking sounds from one of the walls, and the center of the originally unbridled wall seemed to disintegrate into hundreds of building blocks. The bricks squeezed each other and squirmed around, and by the time the sound had stopped, they had formed a portal large enough for a single person to pass through.

Faced with the only way out, Tang Mo did not hesitate and stepped through this small door in one step. As soon as he walked out of the secret room, the wall behind him made that sound again, and with the change like a stack of blocks, it soon became a wall again.

However, it is slightly different from the inside, and on the smooth wall, there is a portal shape formed by runes. At this time, Tang Mo was in a long corridor-like passage, with such walls on both sides, and there were such rune portals at intervals.

He walked along the passage for a distance, and found that there were forks at intervals, but unlike the passages Tang Mo was in now, those forks had no light. Unable to identify the correct path, he simply ignored the forks in the road and followed the current path.

Torches were lit every ten meters on both sides of the road, and it seemed that these torches had been shining for an unknown amount of time. According to his modern common sense, this is completely unreasonable.

The first could not explain the problem of fuel, the bare torch was just set up on the bracket on the wall, Tang Mo deliberately stopped and observed for a while, and found that the torch had no tendency to become shorter at all, let alone any trace of being burned black, and even the torch itself was not wooden, so he didn't understand why it could be burned.

Second, in such a space, the air is not very circulating, and according to the original theory, combustion is made of air, or oxygen to be precise. These torches have been shining for a long, long time, and not only have they not been extinguished, but even the air here is still very fresh to breathe. If he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Tang Mo almost thought that he was currently in a park on Earth one morning.

The passage comes to an end and there is an upward staircase around the corner. It's not a very narrow spiral-up circular staircase, it's actually a passage that extends upwards, it's wide, and a dozen people in parallel have no problem at all. At the end of the passage was a 120-degree corner, continuing upwards in a clockwise direction, Tang Mo walked through more than a dozen such passages in a row, and finally entered a hall through an open door.

The door where Tang Mo came in was located in the northwest corner of the hall, which was very large, with an area of hundreds of square meters, and several rows of tables were placed inside. The tables are long and stretch from the west to the east side of the hall.

The table is covered with a red and black tablecloth, and various cutlery is placed on it, making it look like this is a restaurant. There is also a door in the southwest corner of the restaurant, Tang Mo went in to take a look, and the inside was also very wide, first of all, there was a row of stoves, and there were also pools and places to store various food materials on the side.

The pantry has everything from beef, sheep and pigs to chickens, ducks and fish, milk, eggs, coffee, seasonings, spices, and even vegetables. I don't know what kind of material these storage rooms are made of, and there are all kinds of patterns engraved on them, these things must have a special function of shelf-quality, Tang Mo noticed that those unknown vegetables that have been stored for an unknown time are as if they have just been picked.

The pool is also very unusual, its depth is only more than two meters, less than three meters, and the circular pool is more like a well if it is not deep. There are silver patterns on the bottom and four walls of the pool, and the water in the pool flows slowly in an anticlockwise direction, creating a crystal mist.

Tang Mo couldn't help but take a small bowl on the side and put a bowl, the clear and transparent pool water was not as cold as it looked, on the contrary, it tasted a little warm. As soon as he felt a shock in his stomach, his chest was no longer so dull, and even the unhealed injuries on his body were quickly improved. Tang Mo couldn't help but be taken aback, what kind of water is this?

There are more than a dozen steps directly north of the restaurant, and above the steps is a small dining area, with a height difference of several meters between the two dining areas. To the southwest, there is an unenclosed gate made up of more than a dozen columns, and through this gate is another hall.

Unlike the previous restaurant, this hall is long from north to south and short from east to west, and it is a vertical rectangular shape. Directly north of the hall was connected to the restaurant, which was the portal that Tang Mo had passed through when he came over just now. On the west wall, near the northwest corner, there is a similar portal, behind which is a row of wide stairs that extend down into the distance. There was a translucent light curtain between the columns, and Tang Mo tried to pass through here, but this light curtain resolutely stopped him.

The hall was empty, larger than the previous dining room, and was lined with square tables crisscrossed to look like a large classroom. And the podium standing high in the south convinced Tang Mo of this judgment, this is indeed a classroom, at least a place with a similar effect.

It seems that this floor is a kitchen and dining room, and there is also a place for centralized teaching, and the lower floor just now should be used for summoning or teleportation and other similar functions, and it should be a negative floor.

From the stairs in the southeast corner of the current floor, Tang Mo quickly came to the second floor above ground. This floor is covered with more than 100 private rooms, the rooms are mainly used as bedrooms, and there is also a study and a small rest room, which can add up to nearly 30 square meters. The remaining space on the second floor was used as a small library, roughly estimated to have thousands of books, Tang Mo looked at it, most of them were basic magic knowledge and level 0 magic teaching books, and occasionally some miscellaneous books.

It seems that this place should be a mage tower, and this floor is where mage apprentices rest and read. Tang Mo is full of expectations here, there are obviously higher layers here, I don't know if there are more advanced magic books on it. At the same time, it was full of curiosity, it seemed that this mage tower was very large, and I didn't know what class of mage its original owner was.

Tang Mo quickly found the entrance to the third floor, but there was also a light curtain here. He slowly stretched out his hand to touch the light curtain, as he expected, the light curtain blocked him from moving forward, although he had already thought of this possibility in his heart, but he still couldn't stop a wave of disappointment.

He couldn't help but shout, "Why don't you pass it?!"

Tang Mo simply shouted out to vent, but unexpectedly a voice answered him: "Only official mages can pass." ”

Tang Mo was taken aback: "Who is it? Where are you hiding?"

The voice replied, "I am the Tower Spirit 'Pass', hello human, and I am in charge of all the portals, portals, and similar beings of the Mage Tower. ”

At this time, a red light shot out from an unknown place, enveloping Tang Mo's whole body, and Ta Ling's "pass" continued: "Unknown humans have been found, the information is insufficient, start scanning...... Bloodline Identification...... Descendants of the Cleveland family were discovered, with legal identity. ”

"Human, your name?"

"Oh, my name is Victor Cleveland. Tang Mo hurriedly reported his name, and his heart was full of anticipation.

"Victor Cleveland, will you be your master's apprentice? ”

Tang Mo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "What kind of glory is it, and what is the so-called responsibility?"

"Legendary mage's legacy, is this glory enough? ”

"As for responsibility, the core lies in continuing the master's inheritance and strengthening the power of this vein mage. It's not easy, the owner used to have some old friends, maybe they didn't want to see this thing go smoothly. ”

"So, have you thought about it? Victor Cleveland. ”

Do you still need to think about it? A person who is about to starve to death actually doesn't have much choice, Tang Mo's warrior road seems to be bleak, even if this road is smooth sailing? Although the warrior sounds cool, no matter how you look at it, it is a cannon fodder profession, where is the legendary Fa Ye pulling the wind?

Tang Mo raised his head and replied firmly: "Of course, I choose to become a mage apprentice. But what is the name of your master, Taling?"

"Every time the name of the Great Master is spoken, it is a blasphemy. The pass replied in an almost sycophant tone, making one wonder if it was a machine-like Taling or a treacherous goblin.

"I'll just say it once, great master, Calvin Coolidge. I can only tell you so much. Now, find a room to use as your bedroom, the small library here has enough books for you for the time being, and it is recommended that you start with this book. ”

With the voice of Ta Ling, a thick magic book flew in front of Tang Mo, with a large title written on it, "The Apprentice's Introduction: The Art of Meditation and Reading", by Calvin Coolidge.
