Chapter 38: The City of Astrology, Scottel (3)

Before coming to the [Astrological City - Sgdal], Jiang Zhe had fantasized many times in his mind, whether it was a city or the famous mage tower, he thought it was just a city and a tower, what was so strange?

It's like when I first entered the Reoks Academy, the historic castle doesn't look unusual, to put it bluntly, it is the Western medieval architecture in the previous life, but this time Scottel was greatly surprised by Jiang Zhe.

The houses in the city are left alone, because there is nothing to say, just like the city where the Reox Academy is located, and the residential area of Vandow, which are all old and dilapidated, and some places have even collapsed due to disrepair, it seems that some people say that the magicians of Scottel do not live in their own houses, and this is not true at all.

Of course, when you enter Sgedel, you won't even notice the dilapidated houses, because your eyes are drawn to the behemoth in the middle of the city.

[Mage Tower--Vander], the legendary famous Tower of Thunder, but the question is, is it really a tower?

Speaking of the tower, Jiang Zhe's mind couldn't help but think of the tall tower he had seen in his previous life, the kind of tall and cone-like shape, that is called a tower, but the mage tower in front of him is not, it is not so much a tower as a small castle.

What's even more incredible is that this tower, which resembles a small castle, is unbelievably floating in the air, oh my God, this is obviously against the most basic laws of gravity in the world, right?

One might say, what's so strange about a floating tower in a world of magical civilizations?

But the problem is that magic doesn't come out of nowhere, it also has to obey the laws of the world, just like someone turns water into oil and stone into gold, and then says it's magic...... Please, you're a trick!

At least Jiang Zhe has lived in this world for four or five years, and he has never seen or heard of such a thing.

Of course, as a student of Reox Academy, Jiang Zhe is not ignorant of this kind of thing, he at least understands that there is an aspect of gravity magic involved, but he doesn't know the specifics.

But it's no wonder that in this world, gravity magic is originally a special kind of magic application, and ordinary magicians have no place to use it even if they learn it, not to mention, gravity magic itself has not yet been perfected, just like space magic, it is still being studied.

It can be said that ordinary magicians have almost no chance to contact gravity magic, don't think that some powerful magicians can float in the air and think that this is gravity magic, in fact, it is just the [feathering] or [floating] of wind magic, it is not the so-called gravity magic at all, although it looks somewhat similar, but the essence is different, the special surname of this kind of wind magic is [floating], the implication is to use the atmospheric air flow to hold up one's body, in order to achieve the purpose of floating; Gravitation, or attraction and repulsion, is much more difficult to master than the levitation of wind magic.

And now this mage tower is using the principle of gravity magic, why are you so sure? Do you think the wind can hold up a small castle made of large chunks of bluestone? And more importantly, the tower floats steadily, just like that, one or two hundred yards above the ground.

From a distance, the entire Mage Tower looks like a combination of two cones, one facing up and the other down, of course.

The cone above is undoubtedly the real mage tower, while the cone below is a huge rock like a hill.

Looking at the huge lake beneath the Mage's Tower, can we imagine that perhaps in the beginning, the Mage Tower did not float in the air as it does now, but in the years that followed, the ancient dark magicians and astrologers used their knowledge of gravity magic to pull up the mage tower with the rocky foundation underneath and pull it up from the ground to give birth to this wonder.

Of course, it's not the only thing that's staggering, around the mage tower, there are also three white jade-like four-sided three-dimensional buildings, and similarly, the upper and lower ends are cone-shaped, which is another scenery of Vanderle - the obelisk.

These three obelisks may be as old as Vander's, and we no longer know who built them, nor do we know the materials from which they were built, and the only thing we know is the names of the three obelisks and their uses.

In the history of Sgdal, these three obelisks have been named wind, thunder, and ice: the first, which seems to be a little hazy, with a slightly cyan body, is the Obelisk of Wind, the second tower, the Obelisk of Thunder, which is entwined with a strong electric current and crackles constantly, and the last one, which is snow-white and covered with a layer of frost, is the Obelisk of Ice.

The three obelisks floated around the Mage's Tower, connected by an unknown ring of energy, the last and strongest line of defense for Vandel, and if even these three obelisks were destroyed by the enemy, then Vandel would have basically no means to use as defense.

Speaking of these three obelisks, it has to be mentioned that some magicians once thought that these three obelisks were built by the dwarves, and the evidence is that there are three similar obelisks erected in the dwarven settlements, and they are much larger than the obelisk of Sgedel.

Also, these three obelisks, even including the floating mage Tavandel, in the human world hundreds of years ago, even if the previous generation of black magicians had achieved such brilliant achievements in magic, it was almost impossible for humans to reach this level in terms of construction technology.

Indeed, when you enter Vander, and you see those dense magic arrays, and you see those huge gears, it's hard for you to imagine that hundreds of years of magicians have reached this brilliant achievement.

To get back to the point, in addition to the three obelisks, the most eye-catching thing is the dozen or so waterfalls that flow down from nowhere.

It's hard for you to imagine that on every level of the mage tower, there is almost a waterfall pouring water in the sky, and it never stops, and what is even more incredible is that even with these dozen or so waterfalls pouring spring water, the water in the huge lake under the mage tower has never increased or decreased.

More than a dozen waterfalls poured water vapor into the air, causing three dazzling rainbows to appear near the top of the mage tower almost all the time, and each rainbow was different in color and order.

The three rainbows appeared in the shape of a pin, reflecting the lake and the mage's tower, leaving a group of children stunned, especially Lavia...... It's no wonder that Artak, a snowy expanse, would never have seen such a beautiful landscape.

But beauty is beauty, is this the question going up?

Seeing that the distance of at least one or two hundred yards, Jiang Zhe was a little puzzled, after all, not every magician mastered the magic of spatial displacement.

Just when Jiang Zhe was puzzled, Elder Jifus may have seen the thoughts in the hearts of a few little guys, paused with his crutches and said with a smile, "Don't worry, little ones!" As he spoke, he raised his crutches, and suddenly, his movements stopped, stroking his beard that had been dragged to the ground, and muttered, "What kind of spell, Mani Moha...... Asa? No, no...... Scarridge? Doesn't seem right......

Looking at Elder Graves muttering to himself, Alan arched Scott with his hand and whispered, "Is this old man okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight knock on his head, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Professor Huode.

I saw Professor Hodd look at Elder Jeffs with a respectful face, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, Alan!"

"Yes...... Professor......" Alan replied in a long voice, although Elder Jeffs was shocked at first, but seeing the powerful magician suddenly degenerate into a forgetful old man, Alan obviously had a hard time accepting this sudden change.

"This is ......" Elder Towns, perhaps hearing Allen's words, shook his head and laughed at himself, and turned to the little ones and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of ......it right away," he said, gesturing the cane in his hand and chanting one incantation after another, but unfortunately, nothing happened.

"Uh, this ......," Alan interrupted, smirking, "Elder Givens, can't you just use the magic that took us into the city to take us directly to the tower?" he said, gesturing at the mage Tafander above his head.

"That's not going to work, little one," Elder Graves shook his head with a smile, raised his head and pointed to the Obelisk of the Wind, "Do you see that cyan obeli......sk?

"What way?" asked subconsciously, Alan suddenly recalled the spell that Elder Jeffs was pondering, and said with a strange expression, "May I ask, how long have you not come out?"

"It wasn't long," Elder Jeffs shook his head with a smile, and then recalled, "I remember that when your current dean, Little Gretel, came over, I was also the ...... who came out to pick him up."

As soon as the words fell, I saw that Professor Huo De's expression was a little wrong, and he muttered to himself, "The dean hasn't been here for almost ten years......

"Ten years?" Lavia stuck out her tongue exaggeratedly, and Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment with her rare playful appearance.

"Elder Gift, what about the last time?"

"Again?" Elder Jeffs stroked his beard, obviously a challenging question for him, and after thinking for a few minutes, he pointed at Professor Hod and said, "That's when little Hod came over!"

"That's been almost twenty years...... Professor Hodd shook his head and smiled bitterly, at that time, it must have been when he was in a hurry to find the traces of his mentor, and when he heard that his mentor seemed to have come to Sgdal, he rushed to the scene alone, and ...... "Ah, I thought of it!" Elder Graves interrupted Professor Hodd's memories with an exclamation, only to see the old man raise his cane in high spirits, then pointed towards the lake, and shouted with full breath, "Reknisdil! Yes, definitely this is the ......" As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly added, "It should be this ......"

Looking at Elder Gilves' expectant and uncertain expression, Alan shook his head speechlessly, and was about to say a few words, when suddenly the surface of the lake churned violently, and then, in the stunned eyes of several little guys, a bubble the size of ten people slowly floated towards everyone.

Pointing to the huge bubble, Lavia said with an uneasy face, "No...... It won't be ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw that Elder Riffs did not have the old age that an old man should have, and jumped into the bubble, which was strange to say, and the bubble was not broken when it was impacted.

"What are you doing standing, come here, come here......" Standing in the bubble, Elder Graves smiled and beckoned, still accustomed to using his cane to pause on the ground...... Ah no, it's the lower edge of the bubble, and a few little guys are frightened, and they are afraid that one is not good, and the bubble pops and throws this good old man down.

As if to see the suspicion in the children's hearts, Professor Hodd smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's okay!" As he spoke, he entered the bubble first, beckoning to a few little ones.

"Interesting, so interesting!" After Professor Hodd, it goes without saying that it must be Allen, who runs faster than anyone else every time he has a novelty.

After Allen, although Scott was still suspicious of this bubble, but looking back, since there was Professor Hodd by his side and an unfathomable magician, nothing should happen, so he thought about it and stepped on it.

The only ones left are Jiang Zhe and Lavia.

Not out of Jiang Zhe's surprise, don't look at Lavia's appearance, she is much more timid and weak in her heart than in her appearance, no, Jiang Zhe just stepped into the bubble, and saw Lavia catch up in a few steps, grabbed the sleeve of Jiang Zhe's magic robe, and almost stepped into the bubble with a piece, and even after entering, she didn't let go, and dragged it hard.

"Go up!" Elder Chefs raised his cane, and the huge bubble rose into the air obediently, so fast that Lavia's face turned pale with fright, and she closed her eyes and tugged at Jiang Zhe's sleeve.

Not to mention Lavia, who is a girl, a few boys may not be so natural, at least Jiang Zhe is quite dizzy when he looks at the bottom, especially when he sees that the place where he is standing is actually a thin layer of bubbles, and the speed of rise is so fast...... How fast is it, you ask?

The height of one or two hundred yards, reaching in about three seconds, what speed is this?

The feeling of being out of breath in my chest, not to mention how uncomfortable it is!

No, the moment the bubble moved to the drawbridge and burst, a group of people, except for Elder Graves, gasped for air.

Not to mention a few little guys, even Professor Huo De had a palpitating look on his face, and said inexplicably, "Elder, when I came here before, the speed wasn't so fast?" As he spoke, he looked at Elder Jeffs, who was motionless on crutches, and shouted in confusion, "Elder?"

I saw Elder Jeffs shake his head slightly, and his body trembled and said, "I'm dizzy......"

"Don't get dizzy so fast......" Allen whispered to Scott, "It's magic, right?"

"I guess so......" Scott shook his head uncertainly, meaning obviously, he didn't know.

While the two of them were talking, Elder Graves seemed to have almost recovered, but looking at his current appearance, it was obvious that the 'damage' caused by this bubble to him was far stronger than the 'damage' caused by his use of the instantaneous displacement magic just now...... "It's really terrible...... That little guy from Gis, "I saw Elder Gievs walking towards the gate of the Mage Tower with his forehead in one hand and his cane in the other, and he greeted him as he left, but his tone was no longer good at what he had just now.

"Come with me, little ones!"

After crossing the suspension bridge that served as the 'landing' road, there was a road of about ten yards, well, it could also be said to be a square, because there was nothing here, and after this road, Jiang Zhe could already see the true face of the mage Tafandel, who was respected by thousands of magicians.

But seriously, when you look at it down, it's really spectacular, but once you come up, Jiang Zhe feels that this mage tower is not much different from the tower of the library of Reox Academy, at most it is a little bigger than the library.

However, this thought only lasted until Jiang Zhe entered the gate of the Mage Tower...... Huh, speaking of the gate...... What's the matter with that ridiculous face on the iron door with countless incantations carved around it?

While he was talking, Alan had already reached out curiously to touch the face on the iron door, and at this moment, to the surprise of several little guys, the originally closed eyes on the ridiculous man's face suddenly widened, and he shouted loudly in panic, "You, you, you, what do you want to do?

"You ......" Allen, who had always been bold, was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, and pointed to the person's face with his outstretched hand, stammering, "Can you speak?"

"Of course I can speak, what's wrong?" The ridiculous face on the iron door squinted at Allen, seeing that the other party looked dull, his eyes rolled, and he smiled, "I know, you've never seen a guardian as handsome as me, right?"

"Handsome?" Looking up at the ridiculous face, the corners of Allen's eyes twitched, and he asked strangely, "Are you a Guardian? What is a Guardian?"

"You don't know that?" Allen's reply seemed to anger the face, and it said with wide eyes and indignation, "Of course it's the guardian of Vander!" As he spoke, its eyes softened and it recalled with a sad face, "Now the little ghost...... If it had been before, the cute little ones would call me handsome Gadian, reliable Gadian, strong Gadian......" and then looked at Allen, and when he saw that the little one was still looking sluggish, he shook his head in disappointment.

Iron...... Can the Iron Gate speak?

Not only Allen, but even Jiang Zhe and others are difficult to accept, let alone such a narcissistic guy...... Just when a few of the little ones secretly despised the unknown fellow, Professor Hodd smiled and greeted the iron door, "I haven't seen you in a long time, Gardian." As he spoke, he explained to the little ones with puzzled faces, "Gadian is a very powerful guardian, and what you see now is not what he really is......

"Hmm!" Apparently, Guardian Gardian nodded his head in satisfaction as well as Professor Hodd.

"Really?" Alan said to Professor Hodder, looking at Gardian suspiciously, "The professor has seen him...... What does he really look like?" In the words, Alan said very vaguely, because Alan really didn't know whether to use 'he' or 'it'......" This ......" Allen's question stopped Professor Hodd, to be honest, he had only heard others say that before, and he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"Hmm, don't whisper in front of the great Gadian!" seemed to hear Alan's words, and Gadian suddenly became dissatisfied, which made Eren muttered speechlessly.

"It's only been a while, and you've risen to great heights? You're too narcissistic, aren't you?"

"You, you, what are you talking about?" I saw Gardian look at Alan very angrily for a while, and suddenly his eyes turned and he said with self-pity, "Now the little ghost...... Alas, if it had been before, the cute little ones would have called me Handsome Gardian, Reliable Gardian, Strong Gardian......" He puffed out his cheeks and glared at Allen, and said angrily, "Okay, just let you see what I really look like......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Elder Gilves.

"Hehehe, Gardian, are you trying to ruin Vander?"

"You old man don't interject!" Gardian yelled at Gardian angrily, and then glared at Allen, staring, as if thinking of something, he turned his face to take a closer look at Elder Jeffs, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said with a look of joy, "Gil, Fortunes? Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

Elder Graves paused for his crutches and said in confusion, "I'm not going anywhere, I've been in the tower all along?"

"Then how do I remember not seeing you for a long time?" Similarly, Gardian looked at Elder Jeffs with a puzzled expression.

Seeing an old magician with seemingly strong strength talking about a simple question with an inexplicable door, the group of people were a little dumbfounded, and even Professor Huo De couldn't laugh or cry.

After ten minutes of discussion, Elder Jeffs and Gardian suddenly came to an answer.

"Jives, you're still so stupid, you haven't been out for almost ten years, so how can I see you?"

"Oh, I see, well, I sometimes wonder where Gaddian is......"

"Don't call me Gadian, call me handsome Gadian......"

Listening to the conversation between one person and one door, Professor Hod also couldn't stand it a little, although he knew for a long time that Elder Jeffs might be because of his age, not only easy to forget, but also not easy to use his brain, and he was used to being confused, and he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, this phenomenon seemed to be aggravated, and there was no way, Professor Hodt had to open his mouth to interrupt their conversation.

"This ...... Elder, you see you've been living together all along, that ...... Shall we go in and talk about it?"

"Hmm, where are you going?" Elder Graves looked blankly at Professor Hodd, then suddenly came to his senses, patted his forehead and said, "Look at my last name!" he said to Guardian Gardian, "Gardian, open the door......"

"Don't open it!" Gadian seemed to remember what had just happened again, and looked at Alan and said very childishly, "If you want me to open the door, call me a handsome Gadian ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly snorted coldly from somewhere, "Less nonsense, open the door for me!" was a woman's voice.

"If you don't call me, you're not ...... No ......" As he spoke, Gardian's expression suddenly changed, and it may be difficult for you to imagine what it is like to have a green face on an iron door, but the result is that Gardian, who was still very arrogant just now, suddenly became a good child, and opened the door very obediently with a low face.

"Boom, boom!" The iron door opened with a bang, and as the iron door slowly opened, Jiang Zhe was very strange to see a woman standing inside the door...... Well, it should be a female magician, almost twenty-eight or nine years old, wearing a set of dark blue magic robes, printed with white star patterns, and each star pattern is connected to one or two other stars with thin white lines, which looks very chic, different from ordinary magic robes.

It was incredible that when this female magician appeared, Gadian, who was still very arrogant just now, didn't even dare to breathe, and looked at the rocks under the door with a drooping face.

"Be careful, I tear you apart!" the sorceress said with a menacing glance at Gardian, who didn't even dare to raise his face.

In the same way, when the sorceress appeared, Professor Hodd's expression was a little uneasy, no, he was trying to say hello with a curtled face, "Are you alright......"

"What's good?!" the sorceress interrupted Professor Hodd's words with a hint of complaint.

"Hohohoho......" Elder Jeffs smiled as he leaned on his crutches.

Suddenly, I saw that the female magician's pretty face was tense, and she said angrily, "And you, you can't even remember all the spells that came in and go out......"

"Who says I can't remember everything?" said Elder Graves, pausing with his crutches, dissatisfied, "I've remembered, otherwise how would we have come up?"

"How did you get up?" said the sorceress with a sneer, "What Rick Nisdil, the spell Rynes Dil, if it weren't for me, you would still be able to come up?"

"This ...... This ......," Elder Jeffs coughed awkwardly and muttered on crutches as he walked in, "This man is old, and his surname is missing...... If it's bad, it's bad...... It's easy to forget a lot of things, but it's not that I don't want to remember ......."

This is the respected Elder Graves in the Mage's Tower?

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly changed as soon as the female magician came out, Jiang Zhe was a little dumbfounded, and he turned his head and was about to say something to Professor Huo De, but he heard the female magician say, "Do you know? You made me very impatient, Huo De!"

"Yes...... Yes......" Professor Hodd felt a little burning on his face as he looked at the surprised and incredulous eyes of the little ones.

"Hmph!" the sorceress snorted coldly, and said with a blank face, "I know why you came, and my answer is not to go!"

"Huh?"

Looking at Professor Huode's embarrassed appearance, the female magician's eyes showed a little hatred, and she said coldly, "Don't you understand? I mean, I've lived a good life here, I've lived happily for more than ten years, and I will never go back to the place of Reochs with you...... Give me back!"

Glancing at Professor Hodd, and then at the seemingly fierce female magician, Alan arched Scott and Jiang Zhe with his elbow, and said with a smile, "There's a good show to watch......
