"Huhu~"

A silver-horned eagle vibrates its wings and glides downwind on its way home.

Under the snow-white belly, under the iron hook-like claws, is clutching an iron-thorned porcupine weighing 1,000 pounds - this is its dinner today.

As the sun approached, the eagles, who had been tired all day, chirped a few times and sped up their homing.

Suddenly!

A green point of light suddenly appeared in a thick white cloud, and the point of light continued to enlarge in the eagle's eye!

As the overlord in this piece of sky, the Silver Horn Flying Eagle roared demonstratively, not only did not evade, but accelerated its speed and rushed over.

- Ahh

There was a sudden amplifying scream from the opposite side, and the flying eagle glanced at the gradually enlarged green dot suspiciously, this thing seemed to be a green meadow, but it was ......

How did grass appear in the sky?

Wait until the green meadow is fully visible to the eagle's eye, especially after seeing the people on the meadow. The flying eagle suddenly screamed miserably, and subconsciously raised his speed!

But......

Bang!!

The sky was full of silver feathers that slowly fell from the sky, mixed with chaotic screams, and a 'green meadow' rushed out of the mess of feathers.

"--This damn bald eagle!" Norton cursed in a low voice, raising his hand to pat the feathers off his body.

"Hey, you little ass, you were so embarrassed just now! It's like Lilith's screaming!

One of the trainees muttered in a low voice, "Mentor, we flew over, but not so fast...... You're almost as fast as an Imperial airship!"

"You also turned off the protective shield on the flying carpet. ”

"I also play 360 degree sharp turns. ”

"And ran into a silver-horned eagle. ”

"If we don't call this situation......"

"I wonder if I'm dumb. ”

Norton was embarrassed by the students' complaints, so Norton had to use acceleration to maintain the dignity of a mentor.

Soon, the screams rang out again......

After a long period of childlike tossing and turning in Norton, the magic flying carpet finally flew to its destination.

A tall white tower standing in the middle of a green forest.

Norton's Mage Tower!

The flying carpet flew in directly through a large window on one of the towers, landing on a platform.

With a wave of his sleeve, the magic carpet automatically rolled into a bundle and sank into Norton's sleeve.

This magical scene did not arouse the minds of the students, who were all attracted to something more magical.

The interior of the tower is hollow.

Looking down from the platform, there are countless bookcases on the inner wall, and next to the bookcases are paths and long stairs.

Layers of spiral roads go down, and at a glance, it seems that the bottom of the tower looks like a bottomless pit.

Upwards, the main attraction is the stone bridge that connects the various passages of the tower.

These stone bridges have changed over time, sometimes connecting from one disconnected to another, and then rising in a straight line to other passages.

The stone bridge is surrounded by a number of floating spheres, and the sound of gears turning and snapping is faintly heard from the spheres, and mysterious runes appear and disappear on them, as if they are operating according to some kind of rule. These orbs seemed to be the source of the light in the mage's tower, and from a distance, they looked like starlight.

"Welcome to the Great Norton Mage Tower!" Norton looked triumphantly at the students' expressions, and he coughed to draw their attention.

"From today onwards, you will be part of this mage tower. ”

Norton flipped his hand and pulled the twelve-point scroll out of his sleeve.

"This is a rough map of the Mage's Tower, read it carefully, although I have left a magical mark on your body, and the mechanism in it will not attack you. But don't go in the places marked by the red crosses on the map. ”

The students took the scroll one after another, secretly remembering it in their hearts.

"After reading the map, you can go around on your own, and the main purpose of today is to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the Mage Tower. Norton suddenly looked at the twelve students with a serious look.

"Kind reminder, little ones, if you accidentally trespass into a dangerous area, don't resist. If you don't resist, the danger zone won't hurt you, and there will be alchemy puppets to take you out. Don't resist, you know!"

"Understood, Teacher!" the students all nodded.

With that, Norton nodded and disappeared from the platform.

"Hey, teacher, you haven't told us where you live......"

"How are we going to get something to eat? We haven't eaten a good meal in ten days of trial...... I'm so hungry right now!"

"How do we get to the common area with points ......"

“......”

The chatter continued for a while after Norton disappeared, until a chubby student shouted, "I said everybody...... It is marked on the map, and the residence is on the fifteenth floor, where there should be a place to eat, and the fourteenth floor is where the training room and meditation and other trainings take place. Below is the Alchemy Equipment Exhibition Hall and the Alchemy Room. If you want to go out into the public area, there is a sign on the 26th floor, which seems to be the shuttle gate......"

After being reminded by this chubby student, everyone immediately recalled Norton's previous words and hurriedly checked the map. Sure enough, on this parchment scroll, the students all found the answers they wanted.

Soon, a thin-looking student said in a loud voice: "I'm going to the fifteenth floor to get something to eat first, who wants to come with me?"

"Bass, me, me!" quickly a student responded. "I'll go with you!"

With that, the three students who looked hungry immediately flew up with the skinny student named Bess and flew towards the fifteenth floor.

Seeing them fly, the chubby student from before was stunned, ran a few steps forward, and shouted at the students: "Don't fly when you pass through the thirteenth floor......!

Before they could finish speaking, the students had already disappeared between the floating staircase and the sphere, and disappeared without a trace.

Du Kang noticed that the chubby student shook his head regretfully.

The excited students didn't notice this inconspicuous fat man, although they could name each other, they were still a little wary of the cruel battle they had just experienced in the Valley of Warcraft. Except for a few students who knew each other well, the students who followed acted alone.

Soon, only Du Kang, the chubby student, and a few students who were still looking at the map were left on the platform.

Du Kang was looking down at the markings on the map, he also wanted to go to the living quarters on the fifteenth floor to take a look first, but ...... He can't fly. You can only walk through!

The problem is that there are a few places on the map that are oddly marked, and according to the notes below, they seem to have several meanings. I think the creator of this map didn't think about Du Kang's situation, and passed the trial to become a magic apprentice, but he didn't have any magic power.

Therefore, some walking routes are not so clearly marked.

Frowning and looking at it for a while, Du Kang was ready to ask for help like the two students next to him.

What Du Kang didn't expect was that he just took a step towards the two students, and the two students immediately put away the map as if they had seen a ghost, and flew away with a whoosh!

Du Kang: "???"

He turned to the other two trainees: "Hello, I would like to ask ......"

Whoosh!!

The two students' faces also changed, and they took off in an instant.

What is the situation? Du Kang was at a loss!

Du Kang didn't know that his fame had spread among the surviving students.

At the same time, he was favored by three mentors, and his badges were hundreds...... For those students, don't these signs mean murder?

I don't know if Mentor Norton prohibits students from snatching points from each other, if Du Kang makes a move on them, they can't resist!

So all of them just flew away!

In desperation, Du Kang couldn't help but ask for help from the chubby student who seemed to be kind, and now he was the only one left.

"Hello, may I ask if I want to go up to the fifteenth floor, how is the route from the thirteenth floor to the fourteenth floor? I didn't understand the markings of the two forks there. ”

Sam Weir was stunned, and when he realized that Dukang was talking to him, he pinched his fingers with some restraint.

"You, you, hello, Dukang. If you want to walk through, choose the one on the right for the 13th to 14th floor. ”

"You know me?"

Sam replied with some restraint, "When, of course, you're not a small fame now!" and you're favored by three mentors at the same time, and I've heard Fitz talk about you during the trial. ”

It turned out that he had something to do with Fitz, and Du Kang suddenly felt in his heart. He tried to get closer and ask Sam to point it out to him, but Sam panicked at the action.

Sam took a step back in some fear and said, "That, that...... Dukang, I was just lucky, the airship landed right next to me when it landed. I don't have a lot of badges on my ......"

Du Kang was a little helpless, he wanted to ask for a way, why was he still afraid of being like this?

"Alright, Sam" Dukang didn't move on, standing still and looking at the somewhat timid teenager. "The trial is over, and I don't mean to rob you of your points. And we're all studying in the same mage tower, so you don't have to be so guarded. ”

Sam looked into Du Kang's eyes and asked, "You also only robbed those people's badges, no, no ......"

"Well," Dukang didn't shy away from Sam's gaze, "yes, I didn't kill them." Of course, there are always times when people are forced to be helpless. When there is a choice, everyone wants to be a god instead of a demon. ”

Sam stared into Dukang's eyes for a long moment, the fear and wariness in his eyes lightened a little.

"My mother said that a person's eyes can see through the heart, and your eyes ...... It's bright, I believe you. ”

After a pause, Sam said, "I heard Fitz say that you don't have magic and can't fly yet, so I'll send you there directly...... If you don't mind if I fly slowly. ”

"That's great!" Du Kang laughed, "I haven't really flown yet, except for the two times when Mr. Norton and the Black Robe captured us by the hands of the mage." ”
