Chapter Seventy-Four: The Phantom Staircase
"Blood spiders. ”
It was indeed the next day when they saw the monster again, but after the archmage's explanation, everyone was much more relieved, it was just yesterday's illusion. It's just that it's so real that many people can't help but clench their weapons when they pass by it.
"Azhara, how long will it be before we reach the top of the tower? Are you sure those dark wizards are at the top of the tower?"
Walking into the dark circular staircase, Leo asked.
"It may be another day, the height of this tower is greater than you think, the normal stone structure is not enough to support its height, but magic, or the power of magic, supports it. As for whether the Dark Wizard is at the top of the tower, I don't know, but we didn't meet them all the way, and if they didn't run, they were still at the top of the tower. I don't think they'll run away so easily, the magical energy here has an irresistible attraction for them. ”
Faced with Leo's question, Aishara explained confidently.
"Wait, the stairs are gone!"
The first person to notice the disappearance of the stairs was Eminem. The dwarf exclaimed, because in front of the team, there was no road at all, and the circular staircase completely disappeared into thin air at the 380th floor, and the next staircase was about two stories above the height, that is, unless they could fly, no matter what they tried, it would be impossible to reach the top of the tower.
"Well, it's still an illusion. ”
Hearing Eminem's surprised cry, Aishara didn't react much, after all, this old mage had been in this tower for three hundred years, and was familiar with every stone brick of this tower, not to mention the corridors that he had to walk every day.
"You can come up here. ”
As she spoke, Azhara walked up alone, and the next second, the old mage was standing in the air out of thin air!
"How is this possible?"
Abdul-Jabbar exclaimed, I've been in this world for so long, I've seen a lot of magic, but this kind of magic floating in the air is just **! But in fact, this is not magic, it's just a light and shadow bunker set up by the dark wizard in the tower, and the dark wizard hides the two floors of the corridor in the shadow magic, so people who don't know still think that the staircase has disappeared, but in fact, as long as you step on it, the staircase still exists.
"How is it impossible? Abdul-Jabbar, do you want to come up and try it?"
Guangfa said with a smile to Jabbar. But the orc uncle was weak when he stood on the edge of the steps, let alone walked up out of thin air. It's a tower of more than 300 floors, and there's no bottom below. It's more terrifying than a cliff, not to mention that the orc uncle has a fear of heights......
"I don't want to. ”
After glancing at the Hessesen hollow well below the steps, Abdul-Jabbar chose to give up. Beyond common sense, this is too difficult to do, the orc uncle is not afraid of beasts, monsters, or even the undead, but when there are attempts at magic, Abdul-Jabbar has given up. It's like an ancient man came to the present society and asked him to try to walk on the glass sightseeing channel, the ancient people didn't know what glass was, so they didn't believe that glass could bear the weight of a person. It's similar to Abdul-Jabbar's situation right now, what is magic? Abdul-Jabbar couldn't believe it.
"But we have to go up. ”
Leo said and strode forward, stepping up the staircase that didn't seem to exist.
But Leo is a native of Herrera, and as the head of the Knights, he also knows a certain amount of magic, he knows that this illusion exists, and he also believes in Azhara. But Abdul-Jabbar still didn't dare.
"Why don't you give me a rope?"
After seeing both Leo and Azhara go up, Jabbar came up with an embarrassing solution. However, looking at everyone's faces, they don't look good.
"Abdul-Jabbar, this illusion is an illusion, but if you believe it and think that there are no stairs here, then it really doesn't, and then you will really fall. And if you fall, the passage will disappear completely, so you have no choice but to climb up on your own. Imagine what this staircase looks like, and look at the staircase behind you, it's just like them, the rough wooden deck, and you can still rattle when you step on it. ”
Leo tried his best to explain the current situation to Jabbar, as a knight who fought bloodily on the battlefield, Leo has more determination and courage than ordinary humans, plus he has learned about this magic before, so he can easily stand up and try to explain this phenomenon, this spell to Jabbar.
"Can I ?...... not?"
At this moment, Jabbar felt infinitely tormented in his heart, which was more terrible than a Beamon standing in front of him, beasts, enemies, no matter how they existed, but this kind of magic was an elusive illusion. Is it okay in the end? If you go up with this foot, you may fall into the abyss, and it must hurt to break your bones, right?
"Abdul-Jabbar, do you believe me?"
Seeing that the orcs were so entangled, Azhara spoke.
"I believe it. ”
Along the way, Jabbar still believed in the Archmage of Light.
"Then you hold my hand, close your eyes, and imagine what it looks like to have a staircase under your feet, one step at a time to the upper floor. Then, take your first step. ”
The Archmage stepped down and took Abdul-Jabbar's hand, now, maybe it's time to try?
Sturdy wooden planks, rough ground, and steps in a circle, the next second, the orc uncle imagined such a picture, and bravely took the first step, although his eyes were still closed.
"Shhhh ”
Seeing that Abdul-Jabbar had succeeded, Leo wanted to cheer, but was stopped by the archmage. Asshara made a quiet gesture and continued to drag Jabbar up.
Finally, in the astonished eyes of everyone, even the orcs climbed the staircase where no entity appeared.
"Now, open your eyes. ”
Abdul-Jabbar didn't know how long he had been walking, and it wasn't until Azhara's voice sounded again that Uncle Orc slowly opened his eyes. In front of me, the airy corridor was still there, and the crowd was climbing up the void staircase!
“mygod!”
It's simply the most amazing thing I've ever done in my life. When he climbed the three hundred and eighty-second floors, Abdul-Jabbar looked back at the stairs he had just walked, and it felt like he was in a dream.
"Ahh
But misfortune still happened, not every human soldier has such a good psychological quality, when the warrior behind climbed this air staircase, due to excessive worry, the illusion magic worked, the phantom staircase disappeared instantly, and the warrior and the three human soldiers behind him fell instantly.
"Roar. ”
At the last moment, Gelman transformed into a giant eagle again, flew down at a speed, and his huge claws grabbed two falling human infantrymen and threw them up, but one of the warriors fell because he stepped on the air. It was a long time before there was a faint crashing sound in the air, and it was obvious that the sound had become much smaller after a long distance, but it also proved from one side how miserably the poor warrior died. More than 300 floors, more than 1,000 meters, Jabbar can't imagine what his flesh and bones will look like when they land......
