Chapter 54: The Name of the Tower (Part II)
Secret, ancient, noble.........
Everything that praises it is synonymous with forming a tower.
The Tower, which has always valued the talent and pedigree of its apprentices.
This kind of ancient treaty has led to the lucky ones who are not chosen by the tower, and rarely know the core information inside the tower.
Whether it's the highest tower of the eight pages, or the fledgling who has been awarded a page of mages, a newcomer who has left the status of an apprentice.
Everyone follows one of the ancient rules, a secret escape.
Hu Yan was born in the Prophecy School of the Tower, and having been granted the status of the Fourth Page Codex, he prides himself on being a mage under the command of the Tower.
Even in the intelligence business that relies on subterfuge and conspiracy, Hu Yan still considers himself a noble mage at heart.
This time the business is an order from a major customer.
The Wuzhou area is active outside the intelligence network, and the fox appears to be a private detective.
small enough to help the grandmother find the missing kitten, track the whereabouts of her husband's schedule for the rich lady, and secretly photograph the evidence of his tryst's lover...........
As a matter of fact.........
Information on the infestation of ghosts and gods, information on lost relics, and inside information from the Wuzhou Regional Security Department and the company.
Foxes have a way of stealing the freshest part from the intelligence network.
For the mission objectives of this time, it has the actual evaluation of combat power above the [Disaster Level] superior.
It is suspected to be a master of the spiritual sequence, and at the same time severely damaged the priests and mercenaries of the Advent Society......
Reading the daily intellect is the fox's job.
It is precisely after he is familiar with the intelligence information and confirms that he is sure to eat this single business that he will have the heart to covet the Vientiane Magic Mirror Imitation that is traded by large customers.
It's just that the fox's heart is a little remorseful at this time.
Between Woe and Woe.........
In fact, there is a world of difference, and he obviously provokes the hardest bone to gnaw.
Silently using the spiritual condensation, the consciousness descended here, and the magic of his prophecy system couldn't see through how much this guy was hiding.
He didn't even descend on the main body, and the sense of intimidation brought by him made the fox tremble a little.
After seeing through his identity and revealing the background of the tower, this guy still showed disdain.
It seems that just by relying on his own spell casting fluctuations, he can accurately see through the instantaneous search and invisibility of his release, and the wall of chaos of the Protective School's spell ring is also recognized by him at a glance.
This man is well aware of the system of the Tower, and is familiar with and can understand the essence of the mage.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Yan finally stopped holding the coffee cup on the bone china plate.
He squinted, smiled, and raised his hands flat.
..........
"Honestly, you exceeded my expectations.
I don't know why you know so much about the Tower's system, but I'm a smart man. The code name Fox shows that my cunning is directly proportional to my tactfulness.
The failure in business stemmed from my own arrogance.
Since you have seen through it, then admit it below.
However, I can't tell you about my customers, that's the basis of my business.
No matter how cunning the fox is, the guests will still choose to believe in the fox's tricks in the end, and I can't smash this sign myself.
I'll close the deal afterwards and I won't continue to spy on you.
A strong man like you has descended on Wuzhou, and I really don't know whether to be surprised or frightened.
There is always a price to pay for failure, you can pick one, as an intelligence merchant, there is still some capital to buy your life in the next place.
An item, or ......
A piece of information about you?
Of course, it's okay if you want both, but ...... That's the charge. ”
…………
The nature and cunning of the businessman made Hu Yan deliberately steer the topic while giving up on continuing to follow the wish. Weaken this mysterious being, hostile to himself.
Qualified businessmen, never short of customers at any time.
The protection of the [Wall of Chaos] allowed Hu Yan to gradually regain his true nature as a businessman.
His eyes narrowed, and a slit opened slightly.
This appearance really has the cunning temperament of a fox.
A fox-like intelligence businessman, who can still negotiate business calmly after calming down.
Looking at the gesture of nonsense, the spirit body of the wish held its cheeks, and listened to the fox's tricks with great interest.
"Fox, if I said that all this was bragging by yourself and me when you were drunk, I guess you wouldn't believe it.
Equivalent exchange, value for money.
Alchemy and magic are subject to the principle of equivalent exchange.
The price is proportional to the cost, you don't have to try to use the trick on me, I just sensed your breath, so come and take a look.
As for intelligence...... No need......
I know, the Ministry of Security will send that guy over.
Are you trying to use this information to pay for me, it's an expensive piece of information, and every clue about that guy is worth a million dollars.
The time, the events, this time as I returned, all seemed to be ahead of schedule.
Funny, fox, you say...... Is this the effect of the butterfly effect?
As long as a butterfly in the past flapps its wings slightly, even just a little more, the future will sweep through a storm that swallows everything. Everything was ahead of schedule, and this process actually made me look forward to it. ”
Pretending to be light-hearted, laughter came out of the body of the wish-making spirit.
Listening to these illogical words, cold sweat slipped down Hu Yan's forehead inadvertently.
This guy is so weird.
Although these words he said were not paragraphs, had no logic, and were incomprehensible, they seemed to ......... As if he could foresee the future in advance, this guy is well versed in future events.
-----------------
See through the time and predict the future.
The mages of the Tower School of Prophecy are chasing omniscient authority.
Although it is named after prophecy, most of the spells of the prophecy system are biased towards the realm of perception, search, and prediction.
In order to reach the realm of interfering with the subtle timeline, it is only when they are granted the fifth page of the Codex that a gifted mage can master the abilities of the Foreknowledge System in advance.
As for dealing with the future and the omens, this is already six pages of territory.
Even the Seven Pages Mage of the Tower, the ancients who enjoyed the professor's comments, were only able to cover the realm of vague prophecies and short-lived visions of the future.
With the cognition of nonsense, the only person who can fully explore the time and foreshadow the future is the supreme mage of the Eight Great Sects of the High Tower.
Eight seats in the tower, the leader of the eight schools.
The School of Prophecy, page 8 of the stars.
Rise to the pinnacle of a school, reach the end of the prophecy spells, and touch the true realm of magic. will be awarded the glory of eight pages by the original code, and the eighth page of the current school of prophecy is said to have a complete [future vision]
The cost of seeing through the future is huge.
It is so large that even if a mage sees a portents of the future, it will be expensive to reveal information about the future.
Hu Yan will not believe that this guy really has the ability to involve the field of the future.
Although he has the evaluation of [calamity], it is suspected that it is [calamity]
On the eighth page of the tower, the existence of the coat of arms of the Inheritance School is far from a realm that can be touched by the Calamity.
Regarding the nonsense in the mouth of the wish, after Hu Yan clarified his thoughts, he only thought that he wanted a more expensive price.
Knowing that the Ministry of Security sent that guy, he could still play a game of playing in Wuzhou safely, at this moment, Hu Yan didn't believe that the target was an ordinary young boy.
This poor child must have a terrifying monster hiding in his body.
After pondering, Hu Yan's gaze once again looked at this consciousness body condensed by vague snowflake dots and mosaics.
The eyes were raised slightly, and the moment the fox opened his eyes, the whole person's back suddenly cooled.
Attached to the energy barrier of the [Wall of Chaos], the wish-making consciousness disappeared from the edge of the rooftop at some point. His blurred face, clinging to the energy barrier, was almost completely attached to it, quietly looking at nonsense.
Fiery, proud.
On the spirit body that was originally just gibberish, an eye suddenly opened.
The golden eyes, looking directly into Hu Yan's eyes, made the fox tremble slightly in his heart, as if the first moment he opened his eyes, he had glimpsed a lion.
"Fox, you have a lot of thoughts.
But that's okay, I think you're just that. You're a sane person, so you won't believe my words, and I'll have to pay a little bit for your peace of mind.
I don't need any information from your mouth.
I...... Want this ......"
After wishing his eyes looked at Hu Yan thoroughly, he slowly stretched out his fingers, and when the condensation of the spiritual body touched the wall of chaos, the fingers of the spiritual power condensation were dissolved by the mana. But he still pointed firmly, the ring he was wearing.
The ability of the [Snake of Fantasy] did make Wishing perceive the peeping outside.
It's just that what makes him amused is that the fox, which was supposed to show its head on the third day, showed its tail early this day.
Maybe it's because he cut off the plan for the advent meeting this morning, so that this intelligence merchant can appear early.
The experience of the seven-day cycle, wishing to rely on vague memories can occupy a lot of opportunities.
But with his resurgence this time, it seems that the timeline has changed slightly.
Is it a coincidence, or is it ....... Everything was already predestined.......
If you follow this butterfly effect and try to pursue it, you may find the answer.
But Xu Yuan directly gave up thinking and did not delve into these questions, he didn't dare to bet on the next time, so this cycle, he wanted to live with a clear conscience, and in these seven days, he would be free...........
The back of his spine was cold, and he made a wish to open his eyes out of thin air, which made Hu Yan's assessment of the danger of this target go up a notch again.
Fumbling for the ring on his tail finger, the cunning fox also showed a painful expression.
"You....... I'm really picky.
Produced by the Protective School's Spell Ring, the spell inscribed on this Spell Ring is only three pages in level, but it is the purest core [Protection].
Even if he is a five-page mage of the Protective School, if he wants to learn [Protection], his bloodline must be pure enough to be recognized.
[Asylum], a three-page rank spell, has already involved the fur of the eight-page realm after all.
It was also through a relationship that I got this spell ring.
Forget it, who let me get caught by you.
A small life and a spell ring, which is more important, is clear in the next division.
This spell ring is given to you as a price, I will give up this business, you don't have to worry about my prying eyes anymore, although you may have found out, but I still give you a piece of information for free, as my kindness.
The guys from the Ministry of Security are already out there eyeing you.
Those people in the research institute like to study these gadgets of alchemical science.
If the bees fail to collect nectar, they will eventually be expelled from the hive. ”
Smiled helplessly, facing this fearful character outside the barrier of the Wall of Chaos, Hu Yan decisively took off the spell ring on his tail finger.
He was very clear about what was outside his body and his life.
In the face of the fox's overtures, Wishing suddenly stretched out his hand, he made a silent gesture, and then spoke.
..........
"Fox, don't be so anxious.
As I said, I won't interfere in your business.
Your agreement with the client can go as promised, but on top of this business, I don't think you will mind having another client.
The mage of the tower is a rare creature, even I am not willing to give up such a good move, you can continue your business and get the [Vientiane Magic Mirror], not the imitation kind.
I remember you stuck on page four for a long time.
The prophecy system is promoted to the fifth page, which requires not only materials, but also timing.
The next few days are going to be messy, nonsense, I need fox tricks, so....... I can give you an opportunity, in the name of the tower! ”
It was obviously a gentle voice, but at this moment, it sounded more like a whisper of a demon tempting mortals to fall.
His eyes had changed visibly, this guy knew the tower well.
The prophecy is the opportunity to advance to the fifth page, and in the face of this temptation, the cunning fox can't help but come close to the meat bait and smell the fragrance.
"I'll give you time to think about it, and you can choose to refuse.
I don't think you will, though.
I took the price first, you should know how to contact the customer.
Fox, if you say yes, I'm looking forward to seeing you dance again. Pray in the name of the tower, even if you are not a mage, you know the weight of this oath prayer, then...... Goodbye......."
Without giving Hu Yan time to continue speaking, the consciousness condensed by the golden mosaic and snowflake dots instantly dissipated in place after gently waving his hand.
He was a little stunned, and when he was relieved, his eyes were completely open.
The spell ring that was lightly pinched in his hand disappeared at some point.
The effect of the spell of the [Wall of Chaos] did not dissipate.
The Protective School is comparable to the spells of the fifth page rank, and the Wall of Chaos alone has enough defense power to support the attacks of the [Scourge Grade] within the official rating level. Before unlocking the spell, the Ring is an item within the Guardian Range, and is also protected by the protective effect of the Wall of Chaos.
But...... The ring is gone........
Holding his breath quietly, Hu Yan noticed a gap on the blurred energy barrier of the Wall of Chaos behind him, and vaguely saw a gap, the gap was very subtle, like ....... It's like being bitten by some kind of creature..........
[Strategy Files] (Information can be disclosed at present)
[Cast Unit]: The tower's mage, following the rules of equivalent exchange. Starting with the apprentice, up to the eight pages of the Supreme Mage, all need to comply with the limits of the spellcasting unit.
Due to their own magic power and the price they pay, the daily casting units of the mage have extremely strict restrictions.
For example, the apprentice's mana is thin and can only use zero pages of spells, but when the mage is promoted to one page and is granted the authority of the code, when the magic power in the body is abundant, the zero page of spells can be used in multiple times, but the spells on the first page can only be cast once per day. And so on, so the mage's daily spell selection will become a crucial issue when fighting.
If you use magic items such as spell rings, you will not occupy the quota of your casting unit. (To be unlocked)
