"Magic is a means to an end, and I never hide it. And of all the means, magic is the most convenient and the most applicable. ”

Standing on the podium was a female mage from an unknown world, who was telling all the students how to use illusion and charm to satisfy their selfish desires. According to her theory, learning magic is to use it, and if you put in the effort, you must have something to gain. As for those who have been hurt by the effects of magic, they can only blame them for not having mastered how to deal with magic.

This is a completely strong argument, just like a big fist must be used to fight, and a dagger must be used to kill. If the previous lecturer wanted to turn the mages into believers in the gods, now this one wants to turn them all into pure egoism.

This is also a theory, and it is not limited to mages. Human and magical abilities are separated, and becoming a mage does not change one's personality or way of doing things. Even if it is the Zai Federation, the place where Siegel is managed, it is not without such people. So he sat down and listened, having neither the ability nor the idea to change this kind of person.

If he used 10% of his energy to listen to the above lectures, then he used 60% of his attention to guard against other students. The remaining thirty percent are thinking about a question: where did these mages come from, and will they also be changed by some kind of law like the lamp god, so they talk little about knowledge, but they are trying to teach everyone how to behave.

In the middle of the lecture, the sound of an explosion was heard outside the magic tower. You don't have to go out to see what's going on. Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between the orc mage and the "old mage", one was decisive and ruthless, and the other was endless. Everyone secretly raised their vigilance against these people, and checked the state of their bodies from time to time, worried about being harmed by some kind of magical effect.

The lecturers were in high spirits and their voices were high-pitched and powerful, while the listeners were not interested. Think about it in your heart. Finally, the class is over, and the person with the highest remaining points can go up to the second floor. Last time it was a bug mage, this time it's Elf Anna.

The insect mage crossed his arms and kept his eyes fixed on Elf Anna. He was wearing a mask, and although everyone couldn't see his expression, I guess there wouldn't be any good looks down there. Siegel saw the staircase on the second floor appear. Walked over too.

"Old mage, you're going to be kicked down!" reminded the elven mage Anna, "I've tried, and there are powerful fist guards here, and it hurts to slam it." ”

Almost every mage has the curiosity to know what's above the second floor, so walking up the stairs is something that most people will try. One thing the elves didn't say was that in addition to the force field fists guarding the stairs, there were multiple spells that could be used to dispel magic. All those who are driven down lose the protection of defensive magic. Become extremely vulnerable.

Several people were ready, their hands on their wands, and the spell was about to come out. As long as the old mage falls down the stairs, that's the best chance to attack. With just one action, you can eliminate this person with a negative score, which can be said to be the most cost-effective.

Anna hadn't thought of this just now, but she understood it after seeing the other people's actions. She hurriedly stopped Siegel and motioned to the other classmates with her eyes. Give him a warning.

"Don't be impulsive, if you fall down the stairs, your life will be in danger. ”

The orc mage spoke in a rare move. His voice, though hoarse and wheezing, was as clear as it sounded in everyone's ears. "Elven slut, what are you going to do to stop him, let him go up!, this old thing doesn't know what he wants to do. Are you going to spend points to stop him?"

As if they hadn't heard the orcs at all, the elves stood in front of Siegel.

"It's okay, I can go up. Siegel nodded and thanked her, it is not easy to see the warm-hearted here, and it would be nice for others not to fall into the trap.

Anna froze for a moment. Eventually, he sighed and got out of the way. However, she shifted a few to the side, blocking the attack angles of most of them, limiting their spell options.

"Let's go up. Out of the corner of his eye, the elf saw that several people were changing positions, looking for a better angle to attack, so he hurriedly urged. The sooner you go, the sooner you fall, at least the sooner you can fix the matter - while everything is still under control. She didn't believe Siegel would be able to walk up the stairs either, but all mages would have the idea and action to do so. The only difference is that when they do this, they all carry a few hundred points with them, at least they don't have to worry about their lives.

Simply going up to the second floor wasn't Siegel's whole purpose, he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the crowd. Chanem had entered before him, and Siegel had never forgotten that it was still important to find him.

The Sage of the God of Murder is still well hidden, or every mage here wants others to die, so it doesn't highlight Chanem's characteristics at all. Siegel's gaze swept back over the group, and he stepped onto the steps.

Several people drew their wands and spent points to request an attack from the god of lights. However, the scene they imagined of the old mage flying upside down did not appear. Siegel walked steadily up the stairs before disappearing from view.

The second floor of the Magic Tower is the Spell Demonstration Room, where all the magic casters are recorded in illusions. Although you can't feel any elemental fluctuations from the illusion, and you can only observe the action and effect of the spell, this is the world's most comprehensive reserve of spell data.

When Siegel reached the second floor, he had the idea of staying. There are so many spells here that it would take months to go through them just by looking at them. Add to that the differences between different races, different styles, and different spells cast in different situations, and the contents of this database are enough to spend Siegel learning in his lifetime.

Many times, the biggest obstacle a mage encounters is not that he can't do it, but that he can't think of it. With the extremely high level of understanding given by the dice, Siegel is more open-minded than ordinary people, so he can learn and grow smoothly. In front of him was now a collection of the wisdom of all the mages, and he believed that as long as he stayed here for a while, his spell abilities would improve by leaps and bounds.

There will be opportunities in the future, and the desire must be restrained now. In fact, if it weren't for a strong curiosity about higher places. Siegel wasn't sure if he would be able to stop going upstairs.

Only the staircase leading to the second floor will appear if it needs to be summoned, and the steps that follow will stop there unambiguously. A silver-white lamp god rested at the top of the stairs, distinctively with an extra eye in the center of his forehead. This eye is always open, and forms an anti-magical force field with a radius of five meters around him.

As Siegel stepped into this force field, the Three-Eyed Lamp God quickly pulled out two scimitars from behind his back, and the bright silver light emitted from them was no joke. Then the lamp god flipped his hands and played a few tricks. The two knives easily form an impermeable net in the air. Although he didn't attack, the movement of the lamp god still made Siegel's hairs stand on end. Through the eyes of the dwarven combat skills and the knights' training, Siegel quickly judged that the martial arts of this lamp god should be above his own.

"I was able to get to the top and now I'm going to pass through here. Siegel showed the tattoo on his neck to the god of lights. The three-eyed lamp god really stood upright with his sword, the eyes in the center of his eyebrows were closed, and the other two eyes were opened. The anti-magic force field vanished, and the upward spiral staircase passage was made available.

Siegel climbed the stairs, just in time to be seen by the eyes of the elf Anna. How could he go to the next level? The elf wondered, but he made a plan because of it.

"Now I can basically tell who's who. The elf smiled. Summons his own god of lights and asks him to demonstrate all the spells related to Time Slowdown.

The third level of the Tower of Magic is a complete map of the pluralistic world - or to be precise, all the maps known to the gods of magic. From here, you can see the Gate City at the top of the central Infinite Spire and the sixteen outer planes surrounding the Infinite Peak. The outer plane is connected to the main material plane surrounded by countless crystal walls through the astral plane, and then after the transition of the ether realm, you can go to the eighteen inner planes composed of the four elements and positive and negative energy.

It's a complex and elaborate model of the world, but there are large areas in it that are blank. Even the god of magic was too small for the whole world, and his gaze and footprints were only the size of a grain of sand on the beach.

This place is worth a stop in Siegel. Through this picture, he was able to know what Riele knew about the pluralistic world, and where he had been. Where was it again, he had no idea. As Siegel had previously guessed, the Outer Plane Chaos Sea was a place that Riel had never set foot in. The power of chaos there is deadly to magic that requires order to combine. In addition to this, there is also a large amount of white space in the Grey Wilds and the Endless Abyss, where there are only a few famous fortresses marked on the map, and nothing else.

It seems that the situation of these fortresses was learned through books or hearsay, and was not observed by personal observation. But it's all inhabited by indigenous people, chaotic, empty, or evil. They have different habits. Keeping the dice in such a place does deter Liele, but it doesn't solve the underlying problem.

Siegel set his sights on the main material plane, where he saw only a few crystal walls. All mages know that the number of crystal walls is almost infinite, but the isolation from each other is fierce. Except for travelers with special skills, even gods or legendary mages can't easily penetrate the crystal wall. In addition, the divine power will be isolated by the crystal wall. Therefore, the god of magic, knowledge and prophecy also knows a handful of crystal walls.

By touching the crystal walls of the Thunder Wall World with his hand, Siegel will be able to see the map of the eastern and western continents. In the sky above the Eastern Continent, a layer of starlight clouds is shrouded, and small eyes often emerge from the clouds to see what is happening below. On the other side of the New World, the clouds are much thinner, and neither starlight nor eyes appear very often.

This is basically the same as what the holder of the ten-sided dice said. The god of magic and prophecy envelops the entire world with the power of prophecy, and everything that happens, everyone's thoughts and plans cannot escape his control. It was only after the world of the writer was devoured and a new continent was created that the region was released from surveillance.

The skies above the summits of Heim Realm and Mora, and from there to the west, are completely blank, the freest places. The Kingdom of Stars is the most disguised and the most controlled. A bright magic tower stands on the map, which happens to be the Tower of Babel of the Mage Guild. With a touch of his hand, Siegel pulled the Tower of Babel in front of his eyes. The result is not a tall tower, but a large library.

Countless bookshelves and countless books, stretching from the foot to the end of the view. It is the temple of the priesthood of knowledge, the ultimate manifestation of its power. All the knowledge and answers that the lamp gods need are here. Therefore, they all have a psychic link to communicate with the third layer, and the information that the Black Ainstone can mobilize also comes from this.

It's hard to imagine how many things the God of Knowledge needs to remember, and I don't know if these materials are usually directly integrated with him, or if they are just stored in the Kingdom of God for future reference? This huge library is a little dizzy just by looking at it, and anyone who is in front of the huge amount of information and wisdom will be shocked. In terms of attraction, it's a lot more than the spell demo room on the second floor. But it's also more time-consuming. Extremely poor, if not several, it is impossible to read all the books here.

Siegel quickly took two steps back, bringing his vision back to the full picture. The crystal wall logo of the Thunder Wall world glittered, but the goblin world that was half-fused with it was dim. There were a few crystal walls left, some of which were brighter, some of which were darker, and Siegel understood the reason after a little thought. The brightness of the crystal wall represents the amount of faith that is offered to the divine fire, and the brighter the world, the more important it is to the gods - and the more conspicuous it is.

In this aspect alone, the race gods know far more about the world than conceptual gods such as magic and local gods such as the natural environment. Any world where there are elves can generate the power of faith. Therefore, the number of crystal walls faced by the elven race god is definitely a huge number. The brightness of each world varies, but I'm afraid only the brightest and darkest ones catch the attention of the gods more.

The Elven Sage once said: This world is just a drop in the ocean for the elven gods, and nothing significant can happen. It was only when he saw the whole map of the multiverse in front of him that Siegel really understood the meaning of this sentence.

The security of the crystal wall world to which the magic god's divine power extends is exactly the same as that of Siegel's family, and cannot be used as a foothold. The outer plane is vast, and even the heyday of magic gods has a hard time finding people inside. However, the outer plane is not a good place to live, and it is difficult to solve it with a single "ideological inclination assimilation". This assimilation is even more powerful than the Knox Guild's tranquilizer circle. As long as you live in an outer plane, you will inevitably be affected. Even a dull mechanical golem creature. If it is placed in the Sea of Chaos, it will also become chaotic and lose its self-control.

In the whole map, there is only one place where the natural environment can be inhabited, there is no tendency, and the magic god has never set foot in it, and that is the Gate City, which is located in the center of the Outlands.

He reached out a little to the position of the gate city. Here's where the relevant knowledge is projected. As the heart of the Outlands, there are countless portals to all corners of the world, whether it is the outer plane, the inner plane, or even the main material world wrapped in crystal walls, there are passages to pass through here. It's just how to find the passage, how to open and safely travel through the past. That's the real problem.

Of all the sources, there is only one sentence that intrigues Siegel: the Gate City is forbidden to enter all divine powers, priesthoods, and divine fires. Despite being weakened somewhat, clerics who use divine powers can still cast spells. But the saints, the gods, and the elect of the gods, the servants of the gods, and their servants can never enter the gate city. It is said that all attempts are terminated before they can be completed, and the divine power that falls as a result is immeasurable.

Siegel touched his chin, it was a good place to go. He wanted to find out how to get to the gate city more easily, but was told that there was no information on it.

This is clearly not normal. As the center of the Outlands, almost every mage who can summon angels and demons knows about Gate City, and Siegel is no exception. He opened the Gates of the Otherworld, dumping all sorts of products from the Heim Collar to the merchants of the Gate. This method is not uncommon in either the Mage Federation or the Mage Guild, and there is no reason why the Magic Tower is not documented here.

He suspected that the layer had been tampered with, and that Riele had left a spell similar to that on the god of lights. Siegel thought of the Black Ayn Stone, through which it was easy to find the spell of the Gategate's passage.

In this way, his suspicions were confirmed. Now that the entire map of the world on the third level has been modified, Siegel will no longer stay. He found the steps up and showed off the tattoo before lifting the barrier.

The fourth floor, where the Lamp God took down the Black Ain Stone, is the storehouse of magical items. There is only one copy of everything, but there is one copy of everything. A six-armed, lamp god waited here, casting spells the first time he saw Siegel, and the lightning bolts of destruction leaped between the palms of his hands.

Siegel was taken aback and hurried to make defensive moves. The lightning that shoots out from the fourth layer is actually the embodiment of the legendary spell seed, which is a regular power, and ordinary elemental defense spells can only prevent the appearance of the destructive lightning, and cannot play a real blocking role. In a hurry, he couldn't use the "protection" seed to build a barrier, so he directly chose to turn around and escape, and go back to the third layer first.

Before he could step up the steps, it was all over. The six-armed lamp god lowered all his arms, and the power to destroy the lightning disappeared. Seeing this, Siegel stopped and walked tentatively around the room, and the lamp god had no intention of attacking again.

"We're here for you, mage. Do you want any magic items?"

"Why did you use the power of lightning to try to attack me just now?" Siegel thought it would be better to ask this first.

"The Retinue of the Lamp God stole the Philosopher's Stone from this level, so it should be destroyed. However, you have access to this level, and you can obtain magic items here, and the Philosopher's Stone will have no problem with you. Although there is a contradiction in the order of inconsistency, the end result is acceptable, and I have lost the reason to attack you. ”

"Show me the information on the Philosopher's Stone. ”

There are different philosopher's stones in different worlds, but most of them fail to reflect the meaning of sage. The Philosopher's Stone made by the God of Magic, Knowledge and Prophecy is an artifact-level thing, with an extremely simple function, which is a library that directly communicates with the priesthood of knowledge, looking directly at the true essence without any influence or interference.

Perhaps in the mind of a magic god, only those who have the ability to shield the void and go straight to the essence are qualified to become a sage.

The Lamp God was worried that the entire kingdom of God would be tampered with, so he went to find this Philosopher's Stone. As an artifact in its own right, it is in a very stable state, and it can only be modified unless it has the same strength as the creator. However, the characteristics of the Philosopher's Stone determine that it is more difficult to modify than ordinary artifacts, and it is only possible for the magic god to do this if he surpasses himself.

It would be more convenient to destroy the Philosopher's Stone directly.

"Can I take the stuff out here?" Siegel asked.

"High artifacts are restricted by the rules of the world and can only be used here, and they can't leave no matter what. Inferior artifacts require 10,000 points to obtain an identical replica. Other items need to be exchanged for points according to their different values. The six-armed lamp god glanced at Siegel and said with a frown, "The practice of the servant lamp god has caused contradictions, but he is still a part of the magic academy. Since he gave it to you with his own hands, you can own the Philosopher's Stone. ”

This is one of the best news of the day. Siegel wanted to ask for an archmage staff from here and an archmage robe. However, if you only have two items in your hand, you can't wear them.

The purpose of this layer is for mages to learn how to make magic items, so the various recipes and processes are clearly displayed in front of them, but they just can't be used directly. Although the staff and robes are good, the points required are too high, and Siegel, as a "loser", cannot afford to pay at all.

In addition to the equipment on the body, there are also secrets of various magical creations. Siegel browsed through at least seven hundred ways to make golems, ranging from broken glass golems to powerful iridescent golems. The undead are also very complete, and there are even ways for mages to transform into lichs and for lichs to continue to strengthen themselves. Siegel was more concerned with something else, bringing up the part of elemental creature making.

He hadn't found his Elemental Rune Guard, nor had he seen the Elemental Aggregate, and the Myr Core was nowhere to be found. After inquiring about the Philosopher's Stone, he was sure that there was no record of any of these things here, and it seemed that he still had some advantage in these areas.

"It must have been the fact that after Liele stepped down from the position of god of magic, the priesthood of knowledge was unable to record new events, so there was an omission. Siegel looked into the information about the Knox Guild spells and the Magic Tower, which also showed that they did not exist, thus confirming his suspicions. It's no wonder that the god of magic, knowledge, and prophecy wants to create a magic academy, and he wants to find a qualified successor as soon as possible, so that he can regain full divine power and continue to manage knowledge and power.

Siegel figured this out and continued to walk upward. There are two more floors, and what is on top of them? (To be continued.) )
