21. The Curse of the Serpent
Looking at Archmage Dill who was famous for his profound knowledge, some bad conjectures surged in Thoth's heart, covering his forehead to relieve the intense dizziness caused by the decomposition of the soul, and it took a while to regain consciousness, and he exhaled a long breath, "Master, don't sell it, now in this situation, I recognize everything." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I'll have to check the details with me at the Mage Tower, but I'll have to warn you first, and while I can pretty much see your condition, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to fix them. Mage Dill with the portal open glanced at Toth and saw that he didn't look frustrated, and slightly raised his opinion of him.
"The first is the hidden danger left by burning souls, and you have a lot of experience in this point, and you don't need me to remind you. Master Dier, who had discovered that he had drawn the wrong Portal Magic Circle, changed the lines with a flat expression, and at the same time used words to divert Toth's attention.
"Secondly, the body has undergone some kind of modification, mainly concentrated in the upper body bones, which can cause intermittent headaches, and it has been a few years, and I don't have to worry about it. After carefully inspecting the magic array and finding nothing wrong, Master Dill said slowly while injecting magic power.
"In the end, the union of soul and body, like a lich who has acquired a new body, but the habits of the body show that you are one with your soul, which Anthony thinks is the result of forcibly crossing the gap in time, and I am skeptical. Dill unconsciously focused on Toth again, but the magic circle was scrapped due to an imbalance in magic power.
"And what worries you the most. Dill had completely abandoned the magic circle and turned to look at Anthony, who made a strange expression and opened the portal. "The degree of body transformation has suddenly increased, and the magic affinity has soared, and you all regard it as the sequelae of the forbidden spells, but those forbidden spells can only be regarded as inducements, and this thing in the carry-on space is the big trouble. ”
"What else do I have in my personal space?" Waiting for the portal to take shape, Toth silently pondered Diel's words, he found that now these legendary mages don't treat him as a child, it's more like a peer-to-peer exchange, and there is a certain amount of respect in and out of the words, Toth knows that this is a respect for knowledge, although they didn't say anything, but after the inspection, all the information that they called a time bomb should be placed on their table.
"Go to my mage's tower, don't be surprised, that thing ......" Before Master Dill could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of glass shattering, and the newly formed portal became blurred, and the mages who had examined the portal model looked at Toth with some eagerness, as if they had found an excellent test subject, "It seems that another item is being examined." ”
When he walked out of the training ground, Toth found that he was now in a desert, and the huge magic circle circulating above the sky showed that this was still in Belmar's sphere of influence, but it was already a few kilometers away from the main city. Three towering white towers appeared in the distance, which was also their destination.
When Thort followed Mage Dill to the tower, he found that it was surprisingly lively, the dissipating arcane remnants, the scorpions and lizards that emitted a ghostly light and only their shells, like a whirlwind of consciousness, a group of humanoid creatures composed of sand and mud blocks were patrolling along the fixed route, and when they arrived, they bowed and returned to dirt and sand.
"Welcome to my Mage's Tower. Master Dill removed his guard and extended an invitation to Toth in accordance with the etiquette of mages. Even if he didn't deliberately stimulate, with the blessing of the Mage Tower, he was still a thin old man with white hair and gradually rose to a majestic mage with a huge momentum surrounding the endless elements.
Although each mage's mage tower is different, such as the cabin that grows on the tree where he lives, and the moss-covered clock tower in Bacus, the exaggerated shape of the three spires standing side by side and connecting the lower half is also a very unusual existence in the entire mage community. In addition to the strange shapes, Toth also found large quantities of Adamantite Mithril on the surface of the walls, and the precious metals that were poured to act as the channels for the flow of magic were directly exposed to the air, enough to drive any mage crazy.
"If it weren't for these guards, this place would have been emptied. The cranky Toth followed Dill through a long corridor, through at least four study rooms, two meeting rooms, and finally stopped in front of the door of the laboratory, which also solidified the expansion of the space, and Toth still appreciated this interior style more than the mage tower in Bacus, which was more like a warehouse.
The black forbidden magic stones surrounded a room that all mages hated, and the dense magic wires wrapped around him, and from time to time there was a green or blue light flickering, which was the last sorrow of the remaining magic, and countless inscriptions drilled out of his body and merged into his body, and he had no time to care about the numbness that spread all over his body, and Toth stared at the crack that symbolized the space he carried with him.
The cracks of light and darkness, mixed with the fragments of various stored items, intertwined into the sharpest blade in the world, constantly striking a pale yellow fang, making a tooth-souring sound. The surface of the teeth is covered with a layer of streamers, and the starry points of light shine according to a specific frequency, bringing the luster of gems to the teeth at the same time, constantly diverging into the endless void, and Toth can clearly feel that these constantly escaping points of light are the culprits of his magical rampage.
In Thoth's cognition, as long as all objects exist in this world, they cannot stop the sharp edge of space cutting, and the existence of ignorance and unreasonableness is as unbreakable as the iron law of the world.
But now, a small tooth has refreshed his perception of the world, even if it is such a small tooth, even if it is just a projection of the tooth, the heavy breath also makes Thoth feel depressed, and even Master Dier, who has the mage tower bonus, is also in a state of suppression.
"What is this?" the familiar breath on his teeth made Toth tremble in his words.
"Didn't you already guess?" said Dill with his hands outstretched.
"Why are you here?" said Toth, a little furious.
"The Iliad tells a story about the serpent Silia, a descendant of Kukulkan, who liked a game called the hunt, in which he put his fangs into his prey as a guide, and after a while swallowed his prey whole, announcing the completion of the hunt. Master Dill searched his brain for news about the serpent: "Because of its forbidden nature and terrifying strength, few people provoke it until it finds a poor worm ......"
"That poor creature is hiding in the capital of the Rosesmo Empire?" Thoth guessed. The Iliad, as one of the seven magic books, mainly records the major events that took place in Yerevan, and since this story is recorded, it is definitely related to that catastrophe.
"This is a loss of one-twentieth of humanity's population. Dill gave a look of remembrance, "So all the intelligent beings at that time had no choice. ”
"Now, then, it's my turn to play the poor creature. Thoth laughed at himself, the fluctuation of his teeth showed that the terrifying creature was still there, the fully charged Demon King's Eye, and the spamming time bomb could not inflict fatal damage on it, and Thoth, who thought that he had finally escaped death, found that he had just changed from a death sentence to a suspended death.
"Now?" Dill showed a strange and proud look, "Five thousand years, in these five thousand years, we have created more than two hundred forbidden spells, countless alchemy products, and a thriving magical civilization, five thousand years ago, all kinds of races joined forces to seal the monsters that could not be faced alone, so the birth of the guardian eye still has the information of these seals, Thoth, it has been five thousand years, and now you don't want to meet them as a modern mage!"
Indeed, after encountering the big snake, during the weakest period of time, the big snake with obvious spatial movement ability not only did not continue to pursue, but immediately restrained his breath and hidden, just being a modern mage himself was enough to cause its fear, and Thoth had never been so proud of being born in this era as he is now.
"As for the teeth, it's the curse of the serpent, Thoth, and the gift of the mage. Dill said: "This will bring you great trouble, but it is also the best opportunity, you are a genius, and the future, try to control it, every legendary mage of the Mage Association will swear by his true words and do his best to help you!"
"If you don't take the opportunity to perform a bone puncture on me, this passage is tempting. Toth, who was forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, turned around and saw Dill secretly doing research during the time when his body was paralyzed, and he was a little skeptical that there was such a thing as discipline in this creature called "Legendary Mage".
