039 Shura Field in the Library
Over the next few days, Wang plunged headlong into the Royal Library to read about the history of Monrovia's exploration of the White Tower.
This mysterious tower, with no doors and no windows, can not see any openings when flying to the top on a griffin.
Over the centuries, countless mages have tried countless methods, and they haven't even figured out if the tower is solid.
One of the most outrageous attempts in so many years was to dig up half of the tower's foundation, only to find that the tower seemed to be floating in the sky β no, it was floating in the sky at all.
At that time, the tower was suspended in the air, causing complete panic, and it was rumored that the day the tower fell was the time of the destruction of Minos.
In the end, Monrovia spent a lot of money and hired dwarven craftsmen to come and build a stronger foundation, which quelled the rumors. This also led to the formation of large dwarven communities in Minos, where nearly 10,000 dwarven artisans lived.
The neighborhood inhabited by dwarven artisans is lined with chimneys, and each workshop is working day and night to produce various equipment.
This actually gave Monrovia a hole card against the orcs: "Well-equipped." β
On the fifth day of staying in Wang Li's library, Wang suddenly put down the book, put his hands in his hair, and rubbed it wildly: "Ahhhh I've tried everything! β
The fifth prince, who had been looking at him, teased: "What, are you going to give up?" β
Wang: "If you don't give up, there's no way, you see that for so many years, so many mages and warlocks and archaeologists have tried their best." As a result, the tower stood quietly β possibly floating, as if mocking everyone's efforts.
"Even if he used the Cyclops Empire's energy nucleus for energy, he would have run out of energy a long time ago. No, even if it were powered by a red furnace, it would have burned out long ago. The red furnace is to burn phlogist refining three. β
Oscar: "Phlogiston Refining Three?" What is it? β
Wang: "Your common magic ship fuel is an extraction heterotopic of phlogiston. β
Oscar looked incredulous: "Hmph, the lame mage makes excuses." Mages are all about learning, how can a mage like you be learning? I know that you are not clear with Miss Elizabeth during the day, and Miss Nini will go to your room at night! β
Wang: "Ah, well, I'm teaching her magic, the basics of magic, to be precise." β
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
Because he was too excited, Oscar's combed hair fell down, blocking one side of his eye.
"Wait a minute!" The king shouted, "Stop! Don't move! Wow, you're so handsome with one side of your eyes covered! β
"Damn, you have humiliated me! If you weren't a mage, I would have dueled you! β
"Why can't mages duel?"
"Because mages can't use long swords, if I use a long sword to duel, it will be too cunning!"
Wang shook his head: "No, no, no, my teacher's long sword is very powerful, and he will use Tamson Transfiguration on himself, and after using it, he will become a muscular old man, and he will be so fierce." β
"Hmph. I think your teacher was also cheated and deceived, you don't have any real skills at all, but you just happen to be part of the legend. β
Wang: "Then you just have to kill me, and you can see if I'm lying." I'm only three rings, I can't use the trigger technique, just stab me in here and I'll die. β
"I'm not going to kill the unarmed!" Oscar said angrily, "And I'm not going to sneak attack!" Don't talk about that, talk about your indiscretion! β
Wang: "She really came to me to learn magic. I said you don't believe it either...... Haha, actually I lied to you! Nini came to me to do something fun! Let me tell you, the ears of the elves are very sharp at the tips, and as long as she breathes so softly, yes, it is so light, her whole body trembles! Holding your hands like this, you hold your secondary sex characteristics......"
Where had Oscar heard such an exciting thing, and his face turned red all of a sudden: "You, you, you, you, you're really doing this kind of thing!" β
Wang: "Actually, I lied to you, I was really teaching her magic." β
Oscar: "You're a three-ring mage, don't you think too much about teaching others magic?" β
Wang: "I can't help it. I was able to cast the Second Ring spell at the age of ten, and now I've been stuck for eight years, and I'll want to try anything I want. I was advised to try to become a teacher to see if I could deepen my own understanding in the process of teaching, and I took it. β
As he spoke, he patted the book in front of him: "Just like your ancestors!" In order to unlock the secrets of this tower, all kinds of strange methods have been used. But the Tower is laughing at your efforts......"
At this time, there was a knock at the door, and without waiting for the king to answer the door, the knocker opened the door and came in.
The person who came was Rosalie Melward, the fourth princess of Monrovia.
Oscar asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to go on a trip with your fiancΓ©?" β
Rosalie let out a long sigh: "Don't mention that Odas waste, the wolf cavalry of the orcs scared him out, and he has now returned home!" β
Wang: "So you are engaged to the prince of Odas?" No wonder the two doormen in front of the hall adopted the etiquette of the court of Odas, and they were planning a marriage. β
The Fourth Princesses said angrily: "Yes, because of this, since I turned eighteen years old, I have been accustomed to the traditional dishes of Odas, olive oil, onions, and all kinds of paste. β
Xiaobai, the bodyguard who was sleeping on the table, suddenly got up and shouted: "Muslim! It's Yodo! It's not delicious! β
After shouting, she looked at the king, and then at the four princesses.
"Dabo, how did your hair color change?" Xiaobai, who looks dazed, recognizes people completely by virtue of secondary sexual characteristics, "Forget it, you watch here, and I'll continue to sleep." Don't feed me mush. β
With that, she went back to the table.
The Fourth Princess: "That's all your guard?" If I come to kill you, you will die. β
Wang: "Don't worry, I can sense the hostility, and Marika is around." So you mean, you've been eating mush? β
When he spoke, he looked at Xiaobai, obviously with bad intentions and wanted to tease Xiaobai again.
However, the werewolf's ears were buckled upside down, like cats.
The four princesses directly picked up the topic: "The mushy taste of Odas is okay." But their other habits are too difficult to adapt to, such as their women's clothes, the headscarf is very beautiful, yes, the clothes are a lot of colors, but the style is ...... Ay! β
Wang: "That's right. β
"Also, after we get engaged here, we will do everything that should be done, they can't do it, and after the engagement, they still have to behave, and they don't even allow kissing and salutation!" Rosalie continued to complain, "If the orcs break through the white walls this time, my first time will be to the savage and brutal orcs, and I will have to give birth to a half-orc. β
Wang: "Ah, don't worry, orcs are usually very rough, and most of them won't survive." β
Rosalie was stunned for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are you talking about orcs, or me?" β
"You." "That's why the Orcs aren't so numerous enough to upend human society. β
The girl stared at the mage for a few seconds and said, "You're actually a cold person, aren't you?" β
Wang: "I'm a mage, I'm just more rational. But in the eyes of ordinary people, excessive rationality is no different from cold-bloodedness. So there's nothing wrong with you saying I'm cold. β
As soon as the words fell, Elizabeth broke in without knocking on the door, followed by Nini.
Seeing Rosalie, Elizabeth immediately assumed a "fighting stance".
Rosalie smiled: "This sister doesn't need to be so nervous, I already have a marriage contract, although my fiancΓ© has been in Minos for half a year because of his country's traditions, I am still a virgin." However, I'm already getting married, and I'm not going to compete with you for a future legendary mage. β
Wang: "You're wrong, she just wants to ......"
Elizabeth: "I don't want to! β
Wang: "Well, she doesn't want to. β
Rosalie:???
Nini said to the Four Princesses, "They have complex relationships. β
Rosalie's mouth was half-open, and she slowed down for half a second before she said, "Ah...... I can see it. Good guys, complicated interpersonal relationships, I didn't expect it. What about you? β
Nini: "I am the king's apprentice. β
Rosalie looked back and forth at the elves and mages: "A three-ring mage, with an elven mage apprentice?" Miss Elf, is it convenient to ask how old you are? β
There is a lot of red tape in Monrovia, one of which is that you can't easily ask a woman's age, and in Monrovia, no matter how old a woman is, she will be called a lady.
But elves don't have this taboo, their lifespan is already the same as that of dragons, and it won't be what if you ask about age, at most, there are short-lived races that are stimulated.
Nini: "I'm 100 years old, and I still have five years to become an adult. β
Wang: "She traveled to improve her archery and to find a proper name for herself. Elves have to name themselves when they become adults, and Nini is just a milk name. β
Rosalie raised an eyebrow: "So how old are you?" Your Excellency, Master? β
Wang: "Eighteen years old. β
Rosalie: "Are you sure you can teach her magic?" β
Nini: "He does, we elves have a natural interest in magic, but I haven't been able to get the hang of it. His method of speaking is different from that of our elven mages, there is no mysterious beauty of magic, only quantitative analysis. β
Wang: "Our Mage Tower has introduced the concept of some planes that take different technical routes, and these planes have weak spellcasters, but can use powerful magic with items and calculations. β
Rosalie was speechless: "So you just teach her for free?" Isn't that, according to you, a very precious piece of knowledge? Or has Miss Elf already paid her? β
She looked the elf's gourd-shaped figure up and down meaningfully, and her gaze lingered on the pedestal of the long legs for a long moment.
Wang: "She did pay for it. The elves' knowledge of magic has greatly broadened my horizons. I always thought that the basis of magic was mathematics, but according to the elves, the basis of magic is art and imagination.
"I had been neglecting my knowledge of art and lacking imagination, which is probably why I couldn't perform the magic of the Four Rings."
Rosalie: "That's it?" β
"That's it. Knowledge for knowledge, very cost-effective. So said the king.
Elizabeth looked at Rosalie with some smugness: "You must be thinking crookedly, I heard that the court and social scene in Monrovia are very chaotic, and it seems that this is indeed the case." β
Rosalie also smiled: "Indeed, there are not many girls in the social arena of Monrovia who can clean themselves, and sometimes during the ball, they will go to the maze of the garden to play hide and seek, and they will conceive children."
"The aristocratic maidens in Monrovia chewed on the root of their tongues, and they all went to the black doctor again, who used abortion magic again, and who tore a scroll to remove the disease, possibly removing syphilis."
Wang was speechless: "Is it such a big game?" What about you? β
"I'm on the other side."
The king and Elizabeth read together: "The other faction? β
"Yes, the faction that thinks that chastity also has its value, our faction is generally clean and self-conscious, because we are a precious weapon, the key to changing our fate, and whether we can marry a good husband depends on our own determination."
Wang: "And this kind of perspective, it's really reasonable. β
Rosalie looked at Elizabeth, "What about the Duchess?" What kind of faction are you? β
Elizabeth: "I'm a warlock, and my worth is to shoot scorching rays. β
Wang: "Do you have a clear sense of self?" β
At this time, Oscar Melward coughed.
And they all looked at him together.
Wang: "Are you still there?" β
Oscar said angrily: "Of course I want to!" It's my duty to oversee you in solving the puzzles of the White Tower! As a result, you're talking to a woman now! You dude! β
Wang turned his head and asked the four princesses, "Isn't your brother very popular in the social arena?" β
Rosalie replied with a smile: "Where, he is popular, but once he is surrounded by white breasts and thin waist, he will immediately be at a loss." After all, he's going to hide Yume's pants and don't want the maids to find out about the shy boy. β
Wang: "Did you find out in the end?" β
"I found out, the maids secretly enjoyed for several days, and teased and said, 'Your Highness, this shows that you are growing up healthily', and finally he was annoyed and angry, and asked the queen mother to change him into a full set of male servants to take care of his daily life."
Wang: "Isn't his usual life a bit like my life in the Mage Tower?" When I was a child, my teacher and a few uncles drew lots to decide who would take me, and then my teacher made a golem to take me, someone contracted a succubus to take care of me, and the most outrageous one found a devil to change my diaper. β
Rosalie's eyes widened: "Lancelot, your story is much more interesting than the stories told by the boys in the salon, I should take you to the salon, you will soon be the central character!" β
Elizabeth: "Wait a minute! He still has to solve the riddle, he doesn't have time to go to any salon to brag to the ignorant aristocratic lady! β
Wang: "Actually, I've looked at a rough look at the documented attempts over hundreds of years. I'm almost giving up, there are so many smart people trying to solve this puzzle over the years, and I don't have a significant advantage over them. β
Elizabeth was shocked: "I thought you would say, 'I have a plan'. β
Wang: "Yes. But! β
He patted the huge cowhide cover of the ancient book on the table: "When I turned the book, I found that the predecessors had already tried it." So I was ready to report my defeat to the Emperor of Monrovia. If Your Majesty has time now, I can report it now. β
Elizabeth: "Then they will doubt the truth of the Crisis and will not help." β
"First, now that the orc army could be overwhelmed at any time, even if they wanted to help, they probably couldn't do it. Second, what a big deal, it would be nice to find another way to prove that my teacher is the one. β
