Number 34! "
"Here … I'll be right there!"
Hearing the number being called, Dars hurriedly asked his servant to pick up the small magic circle and entered the "appraisal room" in front of him.
In fact, he was already a little nervous because many of the people who queued up to enter the room came out dejectedly. It was obvious that they did not get a satisfactory result. Dars was originally filled with confidence, but now he was truly nervous. His identity as a "high-level mage" that he was proud of in other regions was unable to provide any help. That was because the people standing in the appraisal room in front of him were two dragons and an Archmage …
"Mage Dars? Yes, we just want to confirm your identity — Alright, please show us your magic circle. There are recharging crystals here, you can use them as you wish. "
"Yes, yes, sir."
Dars' voice trembled as he faced the two guys with dragon horns. However, in order to qualify to enter the Magic Tower, he still tried to calm his mind and prepared to activate the magic circle.
The few people in front of him quietly took a step back and hid behind an invisible barrier.
When the fluctuation of the Demonic Plane appeared, a warning magic circle at the side immediately lit up. The two Dragons and the Magister did not change their expressions and immediately said, "Alright, Mage Dars, your magic circle has passed the inspection. You can close it now."
"Ah … it passed just like that?"
Dars was stunned for a moment and stood up while closing the magic circle. He was a little excited, "Then, then —"
The Magister walked out of the shielding barrier and said, "It's like this, the promises we made in the newspaper are all valid. At the same time, the research department will buy the magic circle according to the standard price. Your magic circle is estimated to be …"
He checked the form in his hand, "… 13,000 Ka dollars. After that, you can study in the Magic Tower for a year and enjoy the treatment of a researcher. You can also get a voucher for magic materials equivalent to 50,000 Ka dollars. It can only be used in the tower … If you think it's okay, we can sign an agreement."
Dars' heart beat faster. His magic circle was equivalent to selling for 63,000 Ka dollars. Although a large part of it was the so-called "voucher", he had heard from the other mages that the magic materials in the Magic Tower were cheap and of excellent quality. People outside could not buy them even if they tried!
He almost wanted to nod immediately, but at this time, a strange thought floated in his mind: Why should I sell it? If he sold it, he might lose even more …
"Have you thought it through?"
"Ah? That — "
"It's not a problem if you don't want to sell it. There are other mages lining up behind you. You can just leave with the magic circle."
"No, no, that, I want to see the agreement!"
Daars threw those thoughts to the back of his mind. Any benefit was better than the immediate benefits. The reputation of Hollier was the greatest guarantee. Could their words be false?
Naturally, he tried to bargain, but he did not fight for any extra benefits. In the end, under the watchful eyes of the two Dragons, he signed the agreement. The next second after he handed the magic circle to the other party, the Archmage directly gave him a cloth bag filled with cash. At the same time, there was a brand new badge and proof of identity. "From now on, you can enter the Magic Tower. As for the specific rules, after you enter the Magic Tower, someone will bring you to understand them. If you want to walk around the city, it's not a problem. Your servants can also follow you into the Magic Tower. Your living expenses can be paid with your 'voucher'."
Dars felt like he was stepping on cotton. He, who had completely experienced the "sudden riches", walked out of the "appraisal room" unsteadily. Then, he heard a voice coming from behind, "Number 35!"
He suppressed his excitement, carried the bag filled with cash and left the room with his servants. In the following three days, he completely moved into the Magic Tower …
He had a dedicated dormitory, could enter a few large public laboratories to conduct research, and could sign up for classes set up by the honorary elders of the Dragons at any time. The academic environment and living environment were ten thousand times better than before. It made Daars want to live here for the rest of his life.
And as time passed, there were more than thirteen other mages whose fates were similar to his that entered the Magic Tower.
These people, together with Daars, were arranged to listen to lectures or do experiments together. Occasionally, they would even participate in some outdoor activities together. It was said that it was to "relax and network".
Daars was fine with this. After entering the Magic Tower, he found that every three days, there would be people coming over to ask about his living conditions. They even asked him to fill out a form, which was all about psychological counseling.
He improved very quickly in the Magic Tower, so he could not care about anything else. He only treated it as a routine check, so he obediently filled out the form and handed it in.
And on top of the Magic Tower, Daars had no idea that a group of Dragons had long regarded him and the other mages as "key research subjects". At this time, from the physical condition to the mental state, to everything that he did, they were being closely monitored.
After so many encounters with the demons, the Dragons had long understood the dangers of "Mental Corruption". At this time, they did not use the magic circle to interfere or purify it, because they wanted to observe the effects. Obviously, when the Plane Magic Circle could not remove these people, their state was normal. At this time, there was no longer any abnormality. Everyone was researching and experimenting with the spells that they were interested in. No one touched the so-called "Plane Teleportation" topic.
"There seems to be no problem at the moment. Alright, everyone, let's continue to lock the coordinates."
One of the crystal dragon elders picked up his notebook and returned to the test bench he had just been operating. Here, they could remotely control the High Elf magic circles that had been "recovered" from the isolated half plane through the magic circles. The 14 magic circles dug out from the High Elf ruins could all be traced back to the demons' plane through the remaining coordinates. So far, it had been confirmed that 10 of them had been controlled by Caz Valla's forces. Once they were connected, the user would soon be subjected to mental interference from the other plane.
This kind of method might have worked in the past, but now, the Dragons had already beheaded them and used various methods to avoid it. Now, they had even begun to use these magic circles to explore the Demon Plane in reverse …
In the "office" of these Dragons, a map had begun to be slowly filled in and completed. The division of power was also gradually formed. Obviously, Caz Wera was now desperately trying to find a new "landing point" in this plane. Most likely, his goal was to find his injured "clone" and plan the next invasion.
But the harder he tried to act, the more flaws appeared in his plan. At this moment, it was completely used by Roddy and the Dragons, becoming the source of the first step of the "counterattack plan".
And as for the clone …
In the virtual "Tasso City" of the half plane, Tyriya, who was sitting at the dining table, slowly said to her "parents" in front of her, "I want, to, go out, and take a look, can I?"
