Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Unique Top Floor
If you are in the Tower of Shine in the City of Knowledge, you will be faced with a spacious reception hall after entering the Tower, although the hall is deserted, there are always a few staff in charge of reception sitting in the reception desk, waiting to provide help and service to the guild members who enter the Tower of Shine. But this is not the capital of knowledge, this is the country of mages, and it is not the Tower of Stars, but the private mage tower of Lord Fira, so the reception hall is empty, and there are no staff members. Of course, this is also very easy to understand, the people who can enter and exit here are all the mages of the Fila family, they are obviously very familiar with this place, there is no need for staff to be responsible for reception, and the people who need to be received, if there is no leader of the mage in the tower, even if they land on the floating island, there is no way to enter the mage, so at this time, the reception hall of the mage tower is empty and there is no one.
"This is the teacher's magic tower, I'll take you directly to the teleportation circle and go upstairs. "Under the skull of the bone dragon, Felek has no intention of taking a few people from the adventure group to visit the Mage Tower, although according to etiquette, he should have led everyone to visit the reception of visitors of Pannis's status, but as Vivian said before, Felek seems to be slightly dissatisfied with a few people, but it is not easy to refuse their request, so he tries to be as simple as possible, and let them leave as soon as possible. Of course, everyone in the adventure group obviously didn't have such expectations, and everyone was also uncomfortable and not interested in visiting, so after Felek finished speaking, the seven people followed him without saying a word, went around to the back of the reception hall, and walked into the teleportation array room that provided the mages with a quick upstairs and downstairs.
Because of the high tower, the scale of the room is always smaller than the room built on the flat ground, just like this teleportation room, which is only more than ten square meters in area, and this room of more than ten square meters feels empty at first glance. But as soon as you look down, you can see that the ground is almost occupied by a teleportation array emitting a faint light, and the mysterious and strange magic symbols are obviously engraved on the Mithril pedestal on the ground, but with a wonderful three-dimensional feeling, it always makes people feel that the symbols are jumping energetically on the Mithril pedestal.
When everyone passed through the magic circle again, they found that they were almost the same room in front of them. There doesn't seem to be any change, if it weren't for the fact that everyone felt the fluctuation of the magic just now, and through the narrow window, they could feel that they were already far away from the ground level of the floating island for a moment, I'm afraid no one would be able to confirm that they didn't actually have any movement in the position. But when the door opened, this doubt would surely disappear, for there was no longer an empty hall, but a circular room, which was supposed to be in the very center of the plane of the magic tower. There are many identical doors scattered around the room.
"This is a transit point inside the tower. No matter what he thinks in his heart, as an archon of a city, Felek's etiquette on the surface is very sufficient, although he is reluctant to take everyone to visit the Mage Tower, but the introduction along the way still has to be done: "The location is in the middle of the tower, and the two meanings of the upper and lower and the surrounding are in the middle, and it is more convenient to directly teleport to the various floors of the tower from here." ”
It's not the same as an empty hall. More than two dozen doors on the side wall of the circular room opened and closed frequently, and mages of various colors of magic robes would always enter and exit through the doors. Constant staggering, but everyone seems to be in a hurry, rarely communicating with each other, and even when they meet, they just nod their heads to say hello. It was obviously lunch time, but these mages had no intention of going to eat at all, and had already devoted all their energy to research. I completely forgot that I still need to eat.
"The Tower of the Stars in the Holy Capital is the same. Vivian seemed to be very satisfied with the qiē in front of her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she nodded and said: "Only by maintaining this state can you accurately and efficiently complete the magic practice, and this is a qualified mage." ”
Catherine shook her head. Out of politeness, he did not comment on this, but he still gently pressed the soft hat on the head of the mage girl to show her objection to her remarks, after all, her body had just recovered, and during the recent period of rehabilitation, Catherine always tried to ask her to maintain a regular life, so as to speed up the recovery of her body.
"Yes, they are the best and have worked together on a lot of difficult projects. Ferek said proudly: "Unlike your Dome School, our Tower School is used to working together on a large project, splitting the project into many small topics, assigning them to some different mages to study separately, and finally the person in charge will summarize the results. ”
"It is undeniable that it is your habit that is more efficient, and the Tower of the Stars is learning from you. Vivien said, " But I'm sorry, most of us dome mages think that although your research methods can improve efficiency, they will inevitably make each mage lose their independence, and they will also be suppressed by their imagination and creative power, and imagination and creative power are the soul of a mage, just like Vilogula said, use imagination as a soul, use creative power as a skeleton, use knowledge and experience as flesh and blood, and cover the fur with skill and strength, and the combination is an excellent mage. So personally, I don't fully agree with your approach, but I can only use it as a reference. ”
Indeed, there is a truth to your ideas. Talking about the topic of mages, Felek's words were obviously more, and he said with a stern expression: "We have also found this flaw, compared to many of the brilliant ideas of your dome mages and forest mages, our tower mages are indeed a little more stereotypical, so we are also adjusting our research methods and systems to highlight the personality of each mage as much as possible." However, I also have reservations, and I think that on the basis of maintaining this orderliness and efficiency, it is best to use imagination and creativity. ”
"Ahem. Pannis coughed lightly twice, interrupting the two mages who were about to fall into a forgetful argument, Felek was stunned for a moment, his calm and solemn face turned a rare red, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, when I talk about this kind of topic, I'm a little too involved, and I almost forgot our purpose, I'm really sorry, I hope to get your forgiveness." ”
"It's okay, we've been living with Vivien for so long, we're used to it. Catherine's hand was still on Vivien's head, and she said with a gentle smile: "Everyone understands that you mages and scholars are thirsty for knowledge and devotion to magic, and this kind of focused attitude should be learned by each of us, so Archon Felek, don't worry, no one will mind this, but I still have to interrupt your discussion, after all, we don't want to bother here for too long." ”
"Of course, this way, please. Hearing Catherine's final statement, Felek seemed very pleased, but he did not show his demeanor, still maintained his original superficial respect, and led everyone into another teleportation room: " The teacher has a separate dining room on the top floor, he used to like to eat there the most, from there you can overlook the surrounding scenery, the teacher likes to eat while looking from afar, while thinking about problems, even if he no longer looks far away, the habit of eating there is still retained, so we are going to the top floor of the tower, which is considered a separate floor for the teacher. ”
Felek's words made the girls feel very puzzled, because from the previous experience of walking up the way, it can be seen that even through the narrow windows in the magic tower, the scenery outside can only see a narrow area, let alone a distant view, and this doubt was maintained until they walked out of the teleportation room after passing through the guò teleportation array, and this doubt was completely dispelled.
The top floor and the lower floor are different, the outer walls of the top floor of the tower, all made of special crystal, almost completely transparent, in the room, through the crystal wall, you can clearly see the outside of a qiē, if you are close to the crystal wall, you will even have the illusion that you are in the air. At a height of several hundred meters, there are faint white clouds below, and the bustling city is further below, and you can see green alpine meadows dotted with large neatly arranged farmlands, and in the distance, you can faintly see the protruding mountains. Occasionally, a few birds would pass through the clouds and pass outside the wall, staring at the humans inside the wall with curious eyes at the moment of flying, as if surprised why these strange creatures also flew into the sky, but these free creatures did not stop their journey because of these humans, and flew away without looking back after passing the outer wall.
"The teacher's cafeteria is in front of it, and the walls are also transparent, so you can see him from the outside. Felek hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "I brought you here without the teacher's consent, but I just felt that it was necessary to do so, so please help me cover up a little for a while, so as not to make the teacher angry." ”
"We got it. Pannis nodded, and walked behind Felek through the top floor, which was made up of clear crystals and solid walls. The walls on both sides of the corridor are sometimes transparent and sometimes solid, and the transparent walls can clearly see the objects and decorations of the internal rooms, most of which are libraries and real rooms, with rows of quaint bookshelves and many unknown equipment neatly arranged in the rooms.
Walking along this strange corridor, when Felek, who led the way, stopped, through the crystal wall, everyone finally saw Master Fira, who often only appears in legends. Fira, who was dressed in a black robe and had a thin body, didn't know that her old friend was coming, and was sitting at the dining table to eat, but looking at the scene in front of her, Pannis suddenly had a sour nose, and the feelings in her heart became more complicated.
