Chapter 313: Claustrophobia
A faint fragrance came to his face, and when Don Quixote walked into the tower, he smelled the fragrance on the wooden bed on one of the floors of the tower.
"Sandalwood?" While Don Quixote was still thinking about what kind of wood it was, Char Tokai said first, "I didn't expect that there was such a tree as sandalwood in this world. β
"Sandalwood?" Obviously, Don Quixote had to pretend not to know even if he knew, and besides, he had never seen sandalwood in his previous life, let alone smelled real sandalwood, which only the rich could afford.
"Well, although it is not very rare in the desolate world, it is indeed a very popular wood, and most of the utensils in the palace of my Tang Dynasty were made of this kind of wood, so I can't be mistaken. β
"Ha, could it be that you brought tree species with you when you passed through the Coming Days?"
"It's possible," Char Donghai, who was far away in the Endless Wasteland, pinched his chin, "It seems that I remember that there were some sandalwood trees in my storage bag, and after I came to Faerun, the bag broke a hole, and it is very likely that it fell somewhere and was found."
At this time, Don Quixote was on the first floor of the Mage Tower, the wide hall, and the puppets who were busy wiping the ground from time to time, of course, there were many secrets in the Mage Tower, even including revealing his surname, Safman was naturally unlikely to let Don Quixote enter other layers, at least the floor where she lived was not allowed to enter by anyone, so it didn't take long for Safman, who had re-cast his camouflage to himself, to appear in the hall, "Your Excellency Don Quixote, please come with me." β
"Okay," Don Quixote bowed slightly, and followed behind Safman.
At the end of the hall there is a semi-circular passage straight up and down, on which there is a huge stone disk suspended in the air, when Don Quixote and Safman stepped on this stone, it began to rise slowly, obviously, this should be the Pheren version of the elevator, now Don Quixote has turned a blind eye to all kinds of black technology in the world of Feron, such as the Royal Alchemy Laboratory in Britain, it is said that a tactical radio has been developed, through the huge signal transmitter carried by the soldier, it can be connected to each other in a certain area, even if there is no mage in the teamγ
The stone plate stopped on a certain floor, and when the door opened, it was a room that resembled a living room, of course, perhaps for decoration, surrounded by bookshelves, flowers and other decorations, and puppets that cleaned the room everywhere.
"Please be seated," Safman's somewhat unpleasant voice rang out in the room again, "you're the most powerful soul spell I've ever seen in all the years, especially the one you used on Sauron to change your memory, it's just," Safman said with his eyes narrowed slightly, "it's art." β
"Thanks for the compliment," Don Quixote was going to smoke a cigarette, but he looked around at the mage tower again, and it could be said that it was spotless, so he gave up on this plan, "However, you admit that you are spying on me?"
Safman didn't seem to care about his discovery, "As the guardian of this island, when I find someone who can potentially affect the safety of this island, it is my responsibility to monitor you, especially a soul mage like you who is good at playing with human souls. β
"Well," said Don Quixote, shrugged his shoulders, "why did you invite me here, since I am sure I have no intention of violating the rules of the Cape of Good Hope?" And your robe not only stands up with a collar and covers your neck, but you also have gloves on your hands, which means that you are a person with a habit of cleanliness, and you have reached a state where you will never allow outsiders to enter his home unless you have something particularly important, you say, am I right?"
"It seems that I still underestimate you," Safman's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "You can actually read other people's emotional information through soul fluctuations, and I guess it is also through this ability to monitor Sauron's memories." β
"Almost, then," said Don Quixote, with a smile on his face, "what are you looking for me?"
"After you're gone, I checked Sauron's soul through the surveillance spell you know. β
"And then," Don Quixote looked very indifferent, he was full of confidence, except for the gods, no one in this world would find him such a means to modify his memories without directly touching the soul, because this is no longer a spell in this realm.
"Then I found that Sauron's soul was as if no soul spell had been cast, and there was no abnormal spiritual energy fluctuation in the whole soul from the inside out, it was exactly like a normal person's soul," Safman paused, picked up the coffee prepared by the puppet in advance, and took a small sip before continuing. In other words, if you want, you have the ability to do anything to anyone's soul right under my nose, and I won't find out, so your existence is beyond my control and threatens the potential interests of the Guardian Alliance in Good Hope, after all, there is no guarantee that you will not use your powerful abilities to do anything to the city one day. β
"So what?" Don Quixote's expression didn't change at all, not even his soul fluctuations, "you summoned me here and tried to kill me secretly?"
Safman shook his head, " The creed of the Guardian Alliance is equilibrium, and the members of the alliance will always take the alliance code as the first benchmark, we believe that there is an invisible balance in this world, and it is the easiest way to break the balance by plundering other people's lives without thinking, which is what no one in the alliance wants to see, such as you, a ring mage who is less than thirty years old, is enough to prove that you are a lucky person who even the true god will be jealous, people like you, there will always be a few hole cards that can protect themselves, just from the fact that you dare to come to my mage tower so casually, you can prove my guess, so when you don't really destroy the laws of Good Hope City, I won't take it lightly. β
Seeing Don Quixote nod slightly, indicating that he understood his words, Safman continued, "So there are three paths in front of you now, first, leave the city of Good Hope forever and never come back, and second, swear to the true God and tell the true purpose of your visit to the Cape of Good Hope. β
"Third," Safman took out a beautiful bracelet from the space ring, as if it were a bracelet made of some kind of stone with a strange symbol engraved on it, but the stones were indeed connected together, and there was no rope in between," With this bracelet, when you are in Good Hope City, it will monitor you all the time, and give me unique hints, especially when your spiritual energy fluctuates, although your spell is magical, but it can't escape the essence of the spell, you still have to structure the spell to cause the flow of psionic energy. β
"Very good magic array, but," Don Quixote picked up the bracelet and flipped it in his hand a few times, and then conjured an ice blade in his hand, carving a magic array on the table between the two of them, which was not complete," All I need to do is put this magic circle on the seventh stone of this bracelet, even if I cast a forbidden spell, if I can, it can only be on standby forever, the mistake you made, like the habit of most mages, like to engrave magic arrays on the outside, this kind of thing doesn't matter to most people, but for people who specialize in magic circles, such as me, this kind of thing doesn't mean anything. β
"Whew~~" Safman took a deep breath, and looked at Don Quixote differently, the modified magic array just now, it seems that Don Quixote is very familiar with it, but in fact, adding more than a line to a magic array that has been fully structured and has been perfected in continuous use can also ensure that there is no change in the magic array itself, but not everyone can do it, at least not a mage in her field.
For most mages, it is easy to destroy the magic array, but it can be done so that the original arranger cannot find that the magic array has been modified, especially this kind of magic array that monitors the surname, the difficulty is different, and in addition, the mistake that Don Quixote said is actually not a mistake, after all, this kind of magic jewelry has to be handed over to others after all, so there is no difference whether the magic array is engraved on the outside or inside.
"You're telling me that you don't have the idea of disrupting order?"
Don Quixote shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, but his attitude was acquiescing, and it was clear that he was doing so in the hope that he could tell Safman the truth that if I really harbored selfishness, you would have lost by the time I chose the third one.
"Then why did you go out of your way to help Sauron, even the precious ambergris?"
"My chamber of commerce has just started, and it happens that there is such an opportunity, as a businessman, it should be normal to use this opportunity to win over the president of the alliance and become a partner. β
"Choose between the first and the second," said Safman, who seemed to be more convinced that people's hearts would eventually change.
"Hiss~~" The smile on Don Quixote's face gradually faded, and he didn't seem to care about Safman's cleanliness, he didn't even take the ashtray, he lit a cigarette directly, and sure enough, the smoke and the soot that fell on the clean mirror-like floor made the mage frown slightly, "It seems that you have gone too far, or are you taking my overtures as a forbearance of fear of your strength?"
"Isn't it?" Safman seemed to have soiled the floor by a mage, and his tone became tougher, "You have the means to save your life, you can really win the mage of the realm without a watch, I'm also curious, who, what gives you the courage, in my mage tower, to fight with a mage of the realm, or do you think that the members of the Guardian Alliance dare not kill people? Discussing with you, I have already expressed my greatest respect, little mage, don't be too confident, don't have a few adventures and no one in your eyes!"
Don Quixote scratched his hair, "Now you have consciously restrained your soul fluctuations, but when you are in the hall, this is not the case, then you still don't know that I can get some information from soul fluctuations, so I can confidently say that you are the same as Sauron, you are also a person with a psychological shadow, but compared to his male surname ability barrier, you seem to be much luckier." β
"If I'm not mistaken," said Don Quixote, dropping the cigarette butt on the floor, leaning forward with his hands on his knees, "you're a man with a fear of small spaces, and of course, I like to call this symptom claustrophobia!" (To be continued). )
