In a dark hole at the edge of the passage, a blue-blue lizard pounced out.

The crocodile head, which was as large as the head of the dragon's head, not only had a clear dragon appearance, but its spewed frosty breath made Juan and Juan numb as soon as it appeared.

Half of his body was sealed in a lump of ice, and for a moment, Juan thought he was going to finish.

Unexpectedly, Downs shot faster than the Ranger.

As soon as Christine pulled the bowstring, a [electromagnetic gun] containing the power of terrifying thunder and lightning had already fired the 'lizard' first, and shot through the head of the large [frost lizard].

"Thank you...... Thank you......" Juan felt a little lost his ability to speak.

It's an exaggeration.

Obviously he is a master, not only has the intelligence and perception that surpasses the four people, but in terms of agility and physique, he is no worse than everyone else, maybe Juan can be slightly stronger than Downs, but when a warrior compares strength and physique with a mage, the warrior has already lost nine streets!

The Downs are like a moving magic turret, located in the middle of the squad, ready to support the whole team and sweep across the entire mage tower.

Wren looked at the 'trumpet' in front of him through Rifle, and felt like he was playing a game of lawn mowing.

When Master's feelings are still like this, let alone other people.

His 'little friends' really realized their pendant identity at this moment and were completely stunned.

Christine whispered: "Downs shouldn't have come to this kind of high-level mage tower, he should have cleaned up the master-level mage tower." ”

Is it because the ancient mages are too strong? Or do we modern people simply don't know what a mage is?

Anyway, the three views of the four were washed away by Downs again and again.

They didn't even know what to do with the secret little report to His Majesty when they returned.

Blindly brainless and embarrassed, will you beat them to death for Your Majesty when you turn around?

The point is that this overly young master is really so strong!

Then blow!

Blow to death!

Anyway, if you have a good master, you can hold it up!

Downs felt the envious and stunned gaze of his companion, and he was genuinely happy.

This kind of feeling of sweeping the enemy by one person and clearing the customs directly is really cool!

Although he warned himself all the way not to wave, as the resistance dissipated, the group had reached the top of the Mage Tower, and everyone found that it was a 'small' space.

The 10-meter-long and wide hall is large when used as a living quarter; As a combat zone, it would be too cramped.

For an agile class like the Ranger who needs space to maneuver, this place makes her instinctively resist.

What made everyone feel a strong sense of depression was that they had discovered the master predecessors who had entered this place. The seniors invariably went to the walls on the left and right...... In the way of corpses. The worst part is that they went from 3D to 2D.

Rao is old, and he can still clearly see that their armor and bones are completely flattened, deeply embedded in the wall, and they can't even pick them out.

Looking at their posture, and the open palatine bone, it is perfectly conceivable how painful it was in the last moments of their lives.

That is something that cannot be resisted by all means, and cannot even be delayed...... Death!

A master who was peeping at the screen couldn't help but complain: "Hell, is this the entrance to the second dimension?" ”

Everyone already feels like they're sweating.

Suddenly, on the wall opposite the entrance of the hall, a huge human face 'came to life'.

Through the horizon, Wren saw that it was a rough human face that resembled a stone sculpture of Stonehenge on Earth, with the biggest difference being that the face was made of metal similar to black iron.

The square upper and lower jaws moved, and the other party began to introduce himself in an inorganic and loud voice: "Good day, visitors!" I am the tower spirit [Iron Mask] who guards this mage tower. ”

"I'm Downs Quixote, a high-ranking mage." Following Downs, the other four introduced themselves one after another.

"Good day, gentlemen and ladies." Taling clearly has a lot of intelligence.

Downs first threw out a fact: "Mr. Taling, you know...... The owner of this mage tower has ......"

"I know Your Excellency Madeira has fallen."

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt a little bad. This means that it is difficult to take shortcuts.

"The master has said that if he falls, the Mage Tower can be given to any Destiny Child who is qualified to inherit this Mage Tower."

"Are there any conditions?" Downs asked calmly.

"Yes! Only one question needs to be answered. ”

The eldest, Reverend Pat, interjected and asked, "So, what about the cost of failure?" ”

Taling solemnly said: "The premise of answering the question is to put one's life and knowledge on the tray of the balance of fate. ”

To fail is to die.

It's fair, it's a mage-style approach.

Gaining arcane knowledge and wealth comes at a cost.

Downs was a little distracted for a moment, but it was better to say that teaching like Master, which was almost equivalent to selflessness, was outrageously generous.

No matter what the era, knowledge should not be free.

The children of the poor are not eligible to study, which is the norm in ancient and modern times on the earth.

Free and universal compulsory education is an anomaly.

Downs didn't know how open-minded his master, who had been cultivated in nine years of compulsory education, was so open-minded, and what he felt the most was the monstrous grace.

Downs took a deep breath: "Can anyone answer it?" ”

The huge eyes the size of a basketball, like graphite balls, turned around in the eye sockets, and it seemed to see through something: "Yes! Anything that exists. ”

Downs looked around, looking at the crowd of people who were nodding their heads, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, please say your problem." ”

Iron Mask immediately showed his ruthless side, his eyes seemed to twitch a little, and Downs immediately noticed that there was a terrible jack gate falling in their path.

"Boom!"

It wasn't just a metal gate, the shiny and mysterious magic runes on the door made it clear to everyone that this door also had terrifying protection.

The problem comes.

"Q—what's the shortest between two points?"

Almost at the same time as the question was raised, the mechanisms behind the walls on both sides of the hall began to kick in, and the hall was narrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and if nothing else, in three minutes at most, they would be caught in the meat sauce by the walls like their predecessors here.

……

It's a test of courage!

This is a testament to wisdom!

It's a baptism of the heart!

Either way, it was an extremely severe test for a 17-year-old budding mage.

The other four all broke out in a cold sweat.

In their opinion, this magician, who seems to have a lot of strength, should answer in seconds and take them through the customs directly.

They were disappointed.

The exact same cold sweat actually seeped down the corner of Downs's forehead.

Only Downs himself knew that he might have gotten away with it.

For a normal mage, knowledge is power!

Only with enough knowledge of magic can you drive spells and transform them into cool magic.

Downs is a 'crash course' skewed SSR card.

He may have a power that far surpasses that of a powerhouse of his class, and he doesn't even need a spell to drive magic, but he ...... Do you really know magic?

Is it the kind of 'understanding' that is proficient in the whole process from principle to actual operation?

The tower spirit in front of him was like the most pungent tutor, making Downs, a student who was good at answering questions but not good at solving problems, feel stuck for the first time since he studied magic.

"Click!"

The terrible sound of the gears turning was like the death knell of death.

The walls kept closing.

The space in front of you is gradually narrowing, and it is easy for people to enter a state of panic.

Or was Pat more sophisticated, and he suddenly shouted, "Is there a penalty if you answer incorrectly?" ”

"No additional penalties!" Taling said calmly.

There is no additional punishment because the immediate punishment is sufficient.

I can't answer, it's still a dead word.

Pate's question was nothing short of an encouragement, and Downs plucked up the courage to shout, "Between two points – the shortest straight line!" ”

For a moment, the other four thought that it was all about to end, because it was the answer of a promising high-ranking mage.

A stunned expression froze on their faces.

Because the wall didn't stop at all.

"A wrong correct answer!"

Taling's words are puzzling.

Right? He said you were wrong.

Wrong? He also said that you are right in principle.

What does this mean?

Downs was in a panic, and the other four were completely panicked.

Juan rushed up and pressed his giant shield against the wall on his right, trying to slow down the closing time.

Nothing works!

From the opposite side, there was a huge force like the collapse of the mountain, which easily crushed his resistance. He retreated and retreated.

Christine screamed, "Can I think of any other answer?" Just give it a try! ”

John the Wanderer pounces on the relief of the tower spirit, trying to physically break through the damned Guardian.

The four of them tried in every way, but resisted in vain. Their screams, their angry rebukes, made Downs in the middle of the narrow passage break out in a cold sweat.

Narrow!

It's narrower!

There is less than two meters of room for a person to stand in the field of vision.

Downs' mind went blank.

However, just at this moment, suddenly a faint voice came from Down's shoulder.

"Between two points...... Folded minimum. ”

Suddenly, the stunningly narrow space stopped shrinking.
