Chapter 192: Forbidden Tower Encounter
Just when Prince Cork and Princess Angel murdered Emperor Chryza XVI and staged a coup d'état, Tang Jie, who was alone in a dark stone cave, did not know that the outside world was about to undergo upheaval.
He was sweating profusely trying to dig up the Achillus Crystal from the magic book.
"Damn, who put this inlay! so firm?" Tang Jie used his strength to eat, but there was no way to dig out this gem, whether he picked it with his fingers or bit it with his teeth, this gem did not move at all, unless he destroyed the book, it seemed that it was difficult to get it down.
But he didn't want to break this magic book, although he didn't know magic, but he was not a fool, he also wanted to keep this magic book and show it to Fiona, the magic queen who likes to study magic books will be very happy to see such an ancient magic forbidden book.
But, but, how the fuck am I going to get the Achilles Crystal off without breaking the book?
Tang Jie felt that a layer of sweat was dense on his back, he crossed his waist with one hand, held the candlestick with the other, stood in place, looking around, wanting to see if there were any tools that could help, but he looked around, in addition to books or books, there were some magic scrolls leaning crookedly on a bookshelf.
Tang Jie walked over, took a magic scroll casually, and looked at it upside down, he didn't know what this magic scroll was for, but after he tinkered for a while, he found that this magic scroll didn't help him at all to pry out the Achillus crystal, he couldn't help but throw the magic scroll in his hand against the stone wall in annoyance.
The two ends of this magic scroll are spherical, and I don't know what kind of metal it is made of, and after one end touches the stone wall hard, it emits a burst of cyan streamer, which is like a wave, quickly spreading on the magic scroll.
The magic scroll quickly opened in the air, and then when it landed on the ground, the scroll made a crisp tearing sound, and the magic scroll cracked on its own, and a dazzling bright light quickly enveloped the stone cave.
Tang Jie was blinded by this sudden bright light, and unconsciously covered his eyes with one hand.
"What the hell is this?" Tang Jie cursed secretly, and when the darkness returned to the stone cave, Tang Jie felt that his eyeballs were stabbed by the light just now.
Tang Jie stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, but as soon as he rubbed them, he suddenly felt that the hair around his eye sockets was fluffy, and there was a sharp stinging sensation on his eyes!
Well?!
Tang Jie opened his eyes and took a closer look at his hands.
But I saw that it was a white and tender one with small white hairs on it...... Paw!
This, what's going on?
Tang Jie was dumbfounded, he hurriedly looked down, but found that his whole body was covered with fine and tender white hair, his limbs had turned into claws, and a mouse tail was shaking and shaking beside him......
Damn, why did I become a rat again?
Huh, why do I say "again"?!
Tang Jie jumped up and scolded, but as soon as the voice came out of his throat, it turned into a squeaky sound.
Tang Jie was so angry that he didn't even have to guess that it must have been the magic scroll that had turned him into this way just now!
Why am I touching that thing with my hands?!
This can't be blamed on him, almost all of the magic scrolls placed on this bookshelf are magic scrolls of transfiguration, this kind of magic scroll is extremely easy to activate, as long as you touch the balls at both ends of the scroll, and then tear the scroll, the magic energy contained in the middle of the magic scroll will immediately spread, transforming all creatures within a radius of five meters.
When this kind of transformation spell was first created, it was once ridiculed as the most useless magic, seemingly useless, but when the transformation spell was recorded on the magic scroll, if it was used well, it was an extremely terrible weapon of unreasonable destruction!
Because once this magic scroll is used, the magical energy it releases is regardless of level, even if the realm powerhouses are enveloped by the energy of this transformation scroll, they will also transform!
Imagine if a domain powerhouse hunts you down, and you use a Transfiguration Magic Scroll, and then everyone turns into a furry critter......
A domain powerhouse is certainly terrifying, but a domain-level small animal is probably not so terrifying, right?
Tang Jie jumped up and down on the spot for a while, he was so angry that he easily lost his breath, he squatted on the ground panting and scratched the ground with his paws, scolding in his heart: "Which bastard put this kind of ghost thing on it? It's not enough for Lao Tzu to change a mouse once, he has to change again? The last time he became a mouse, he almost lost his life!"
He scolded while scratching the ground with his little paws, scratching, he looked at his long, sharp claws, and suddenly his heart moved, hey, can I use my claws to pick at the Achillus crystal to try?
Tang Jie immediately jumped onto the magic book that had fallen to the ground and was inlaid with the Achilles crystal, and used his sharp claws to dig hard between the magic gem and the book.
Due to the smooth appearance of this gem, Tang Jie used to have no place to borrow strength when he picked it out with his hands, so he had no way to pull it out, but now he used his thin and sharp claws to reach into the middle of the little gap between the gem and the book, and with a prie, he immediately pried out this gem!
Tang Jie was overjoyed and laughed triumphantly: "Squeak squeak......"
Tang Jie grabbed this Achillus crystal with his furry two paws, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, but he soon suddenly thought that although he had obtained a piece of Achillus crystal, his personal artifact miracle arrow had been taken away and hidden somewhere in the palace.
This gain and loss, after all calculations, does not seem to be anything to be happy about.
Tang Jie thought about it, the thin and long tail kept swaying behind him, the small black eyes kept spinning in the eye sockets, the tail kept dangling in front of his eyes, Tang Jie's eyes gradually fell on his mouse tail, he suddenly moved in his heart, and he was a little stunned.
If I am still human, if I go to the palace to find my miracle arrow, although I dare not say that there is no life for ten deaths, but nine deaths and one life are ironclad!
This is a palace, not my own back garden, where can I be allowed to wander around?
But now......
I'm fucking like a mouse!
No one is wary of a mouse, right?
Tang Jie thought about it, he suddenly felt that everything here was like a huge chessboard, someone seemed to have predicted what kind of difficulties he would encounter, and then arranged each move in advance, he just followed this step by step.
Just as he was about to warp out the Achillus Crystal, he found the Transfiguration Scroll in this cave, and just as he tried to steal the Miracle Arrow, he had already turned into a rat......
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Was this a once-in-a-lifetime coincidence? Or was it an elaborate premeditation?
Tang Jie looked at his two fluffy and pink little paws in a daze, and a look of awe and horror suddenly flashed in his eyes.
But anyway, let's get out of here first!
Tang Jie gritted his teeth and thought ill-intentionedly, whether it was a coincidence or a premeditation, in short, if I found the person who dared to play me, I would beat him so much that his mother wouldn't recognize him!
......
The Forbidden Tower, the most heavily defended and mysterious forbidden place in Clark's Palace, looks like an obelisk, the walls of the tower are carved with magical runes, these magic runes are deep and difficult to understand, shining with a faint silver light in the dark night, and many small obelisks float around the forbidden tower with the power of magic, floating up and down as if they are alive.
Because the forbidden tower contains a world-destroying artifact, and it is the last fortress barrier for His Majesty the Emperor to hide in the Clark Tower, the emperors of the Pound Empire have repeatedly strengthened the defense of the forbidden tower, and constantly made the forbidden tower more difficult to break through the repair of fortifications.
The Forbidden Tower was almost completely hollowed out, and as far as the eye could see, there was a deep artificial riverbed, with a dark red magical liquid surging underneath, like a river of magma, and anything that fell, even the hardest rock, would be burned to the ground.
At the entrance to the palace from the Forbidden Tower, there is an overhead suspension bridge, this suspension bridge is not very long, only about ten meters, but the suspension bridge is full of magic mechanisms, even if the magic queen Fiona comes here, she will be shocked by the dense magic mechanisms in front of her.
As long as the magic guards patrolling the drawbridge find any enemy, once the magic mechanism is activated, the magic mechanism on the drawbridge will be activated, these magic mechanism is enough to strangle the continuous impact of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but once the opponent breaks through the drawbridge, these floating obelisks carved with magic patterns, they will release terrifying magical energy, forming a powerful and incomparable protective cover, this forbidden tower will become an impregnable fortress that can shield from any attack in the air and land!
With such a strict and terrible defense, even the successive emperors of the Pound Empire, their initiators proudly declared: "This is a forbidden place that even the gods cannot set foot in!"
However, there is no fortress in this world that cannot be conquered.
In the darkness of the night, dark figures slowly squirmed under the drawbridge of the Forbidden Tower, like ghosts crawling up from hell, moving slowly.
However, they were climbing a steep and steep cliff after all, and one by one, they accidentally stepped on a loose stone, and suddenly stepped on a stone, which collided on the cliff wall, made a slight sound, and then fell into the enchanted river and disappeared.
The guards patrolling the drawbridge heard this sound and turned their heads suspiciously to look at it, but as soon as they reached the side of the drawbridge, they saw a rat leaping past the side of the drawbridge.
The mouse, which was about the size of a fist and white all over, suddenly stopped when it ran to the bridge, looked at the guards on the drawbridge, squeaked, and a thin and long tail shook proudly in the air, as if to say, "Come catch me, come catch me!"
The patrolling guards laughed angrily, they had seen rats, but they had never seen such arrogant rats!
One soldier was so angry that he cursed: "Damn, there are more and more rats in the palace!"
"Forget it, it's just a mouse!" one of the guards chuckled.
Another soldier secretly spat and watched the rat rush towards the Forbidden Tower, and he suddenly looked suspicious: "Why did this rat run here?"
The guard next to him said casually without care: "Come on, the rats in the treasury are hungry and crazy, running around, and a few rats were killed in His Majesty's bedroom two days ago!"
It's also very helpless, although this is a majestic and inviolable palace, and it is heavily guarded everywhere, so it can be said that flies can't fly in, but for this kind of rat that is good at burrowing in the ground, it is impossible to prevent it.
This mouse was Tang Jie, he stood at the end of the suspension bridge, looked at the guards patrolling the suspension bridge and laughed for a while, he couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, he never thought that the Transfiguration Technique could also be used as a "secret infiltration"!
But he had just squeaked and laughed twice, but suddenly his two eyes widened, and he was stunned to see a group of black-clothed people climbing briskly on the side of the suspension bridge, they were holding a dagger in their mouths, and their eyes glowed like wolves, and they touched the back of this group of guards lightly, and then took off the dagger in their mouths with their hands, and quickly wiped them on their throats from behind!!
Blood splattered!
Tang Jie was so shocked that he couldn't speak, what's going on?!
These black-clothed men were agile and cold-eyed, which reminded Tang Jie of the group of black-clothed men he had encountered when he rescued Agatha in the Thor Mountains of Mozambique.
These black-clothed men were extremely numerous, densely packed like a swarm of black ants climbing up the suspension bridge from the cliff wall, killing the guards everywhere one after another, without causing a single alarm.
But at the same time that they had captured the drawbridge, Mirandel of the Imperial Academy of Magic arrived with the personal guard of Kriza XVI.
It has to be said that this is a complete coincidence!
Mirandel sensed that there was a powerful spiritual force peeking into the artifact in the Forbidden Tower, so he was very vigilant and asked His Majesty the Emperor for reinforcements, but what he didn't expect was that when he arrived with his personal guards, he really saw someone trying to enter the Forbidden Tower, and it was a large-scale invasion!
Mirandel was furious, and the magic wand in his hand was stunned, and a majestic magical power emanated from his magic wand, forming a wave of magic rage visible to the naked eye, rushing towards these men in black!
The men in black closest to Mirandel on the suspension bridge reacted extremely quickly, and they all took out the magic scroll in their arms, slapped one end of the scroll with their hands, and then quickly tore the magic scroll!
The powerful magical power emitted by the magic scroll collided with the magic waves of Mirandel, emitting a thunderous roar and tumbling sound that shook the earth.
Mirandel's face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at the guards behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze, do you still need me to give orders?"
The captain led by the pro-guard team put down his face armor, pulled out the long sword at his waist with a bang, and shouted: "Pro-guard, forward!"
The more than 100 guards let out a sound of "whoosh" under the armor, followed by a clanging sound of drawing swords, they lined up in a conical formation, their steps were neat, and they were murderously killing towards the suspension bridge!
The black-clothed men on the suspension bridge quickly divided into two groups, one rushed towards the forbidden tower, and the other rushed towards the guards silently!
A fierce bloody battle suddenly unfolded on the suspension bridge!
The black-clothed men who rushed to the Forbidden Tower stepped on the ground with their feet, dense as the beat of a wartime drum, and soon in front of them were greeted by the magical guards in the Forbidden Tower, and the two groups of people were strangled together.
Just as the surroundings were strangled into a ball of gruel, none of them noticed that a little mouse that was not attracting any attention was rushing towards the depths of the forbidden tower.
