The God of Light couldn't come to the Myer Continent, but the Holy Church was very powerful. As long as the Holy Church didn't come to Qin Yin to make trouble, Alchemy City wouldn't provoke them.
If the people of Alchemy City built a ten-story Magic Tower, the continent wouldn't be peaceful for hundreds of years.
Salin took the telescope and looked up the mountain. It was a stone mountain about a mile high. The mountain was steep and angular. There were stone steps spiraling up from the foot of the mountain. The steps were chiseled in a very regular pattern, matching the arrangement of elements. There were huge magic symbols on the mountain. They were simple and old. The smaller magic words were easy to read, but they were the magic language used by the Fourth Dynasty.
The top of the green mountain was spacious. There was a forest, and a Magic Tower stood in the forest.
The Magic Tower wasn't black. Like the mountain, it was dark green. Salin counted from top to bottom. Each level of the Magic Tower was more than ten meters high. He finally believed it when he counted to the ninth level. The tenth level was faintly visible. Salin continued to observe. The Magic Tower was very clean. There were no signs of age on it.
Was there still someone here? Salin put down the telescope and looked at the ruins. He didn't think it was possible. If there were still Magicians in the Magic Tower, how could a human village be destroyed like this? The Magic Tower could protect an area of dozens of miles. Magicians didn't even need to walk out of the Magic Tower to intimidate all the creatures around with magic.
"There's no one up there." Rex pointed at the bones on the road. "The magic robe this person was wearing has turned to dust. Only the belt is left. He should have been dead for almost a thousand years."
Salin finally noticed the bones on the road. One of the bones had a belt at the waist. It was already rotten, and only a few pieces of polished magic beast horns were left.
The skeleton didn't have any other clothes or magic equipment, so Salin didn't know who it was.
If there were still Magicians in the Magic Tower, they wouldn't let this Magician's corpse be exposed in the wilderness. Salin looked at the Magic Tower on the mountain and suddenly felt excited.
A ten-story Magic Tower was worth as much as Myer's Divine Temple. The Divine Temple was built by believers, but the Magic Tower was the life of the Magicians.
But regarding the Magic Tower, Salin and Rex both knew that even if the magicians were gone, the Magic Tower would still be lethal.
"Are we going up?" Salin asked Rex. No matter what, he could not go up. Salin knew too little about magic arrays. Even if he knew Figaro's Magic Formula, Salin might not be able to open the bottom layer of a level-10 Magician's magic array even if he calculated for a hundred years.
"Go up," Rex said decisively. Since this magic tower had ten floors, the things left behind in it were all extremely precious. Even Joey had only broken through the boundary of the ninth rank and did not dare to say that he was a tenth rank Magician. Moreover, this Magician clearly did not have a good impression of the Gods. Qin Yin was currently at war with the Vatican. Perhaps there would be equipment or knowledge in this Mage Tower that could counter this.
Salin took a deep breath and said, "I might die."
Rex smiled and said to Salin, "Didn't you Scottinyan people say this before? If there's a profit of two hundred percent, it's worth the risk of being hanged. "
Salin nodded. To Rex and him, this ten-floor Mage Tower was not just a profit of two hundred percent. Once they got the control of the Mage Tower, the two of them would inherit everything of a tenth rank Magician.
The four of them walked towards the green stone mountain. The magical beasts that followed behind walked out of the forest and looked at the mountain from afar. They paced back and forth, as if they were extremely afraid of this mountain. When Salin and the others were far away, the magical beasts slowly turned around and went back into the forest.
Neris followed behind Salin, a little nervous. Shika only looked respectful, even calmer than Salin. The closer they got to the stone mountain, the more nervous Salin became. To a Magician, a ten-floor Mage Tower was like a temple in the hearts of the believers.
When they reached the bottom of the green stone mountain and saw the almost vertical mountain, the four of them felt the pressure coming towards them. This pressure was not magical power, but a natural force. Salin and Rex bowed respectfully before walking up the stone stairs to the top of the mountain.
Rex walked at the front. She only held up an invisible shield, and Salin only activated this spell on his magic robe. A level-0 spell was not considered an offense to the Magicians in the Mage Tower. Instead, it was a sign of respect, and it would not cause the Mage Tower to retaliate. Shika and Neris had never practiced sword aura, so they did not need Salin to remind them.
Some of the stone stairs spiraled upwards. There were tens of thousands of them, and they were as wide as a person. They were very flat, and there were magic patterns on them, so they would never slip. Even though Rex could fly, she did not dare to be careless. She stuck close to the mountain and walked up step by step. The stone stairs were reversed, and the left side was almost vertical. The four of them walked higher and higher. After walking for a whole hour, they finally reached the top.
Salin finally knew how powerful a tenth rank Magician was. These stairs were a complicated magic formula. Walking on them, one could not use any spells or sword aura. One could only rely on one's physical strength to move forward. The speed of moving forward was average. One could not go faster even if they wanted to.
In other words, if anyone wanted to reach the top, they had to spend this hour.
The area of the top of the mountain was very large. Purple trees surrounded the huge Mage Tower. The trees grew in a regular pattern, and naturally formed a huge magic array.
Seeing this magic array, Rex and Salin smiled bitterly. Just like the stone stairs, this magic array had a very simple function, which was to slow down one's speed of moving forward.
This magic array was still very popular, but only ninth rank Magicians could set it up. It was named after a Magician, Pan's Labyrinth.
Pan's Labyrinth was not an offensive magic array, but if one did not follow the instructions of the labyrinth, this magic array would develop all kinds of changes. Rex did not even dare to fly over, because this labyrinth might turn into a huge killing array in the blink of an eye.
It was said that Pan was a very peaceful Magician, as long as one did not provoke him.
"Let's walk slowly." Rex shook his head helplessly. Pan's Labyrinth was the only magic array that could not be deciphered. From the perspective of a magic formula, this labyrinth was designed to be an endless loop. This endless loop was triggered passively. Unless Rex had the confidence to break the counterattack of a tenth rank Magician, she could only rely on her two legs to move forward in the labyrinth step by step.
The forest surrounding the Mage Tower was obviously the most complicated type of labyrinth. Rex and the others searched for magic signs in the labyrinth and moved forward step by step. This took them three days. In the end, Sicca could not take it anymore, and Neris could only carry her and follow behind Salin.
People in the labyrinth had to maintain a certain speed. Once they stopped, the labyrinth would change. Perhaps they would have to start over, or they might be sent into an endless loop and enter a dangerous magic array.
After walking out of the labyrinth made of trees, Rex sat on the ground and began to meditate. Salin still had some energy left. He let Neris and Sicca rest first, and he only drank some Recovery Water. At the same time, he began to observe this ten-story Mage Tower from a close distance.
Salin had only been to an eight-story Mage Tower once, and that was in Rex's residence in the Bitter Water Prefecture. Compared to this ten-story Mage Tower, that eight-story Mage Tower was a little too slender.
This green Mage Tower had six sides. Each side was twenty-four meters wide, and each floor was twelve meters tall. This Mage Tower had six doors instead of the three that were commonly seen today. Apart from the first floor, there were six windows on each side of the nine floors. The green body of the tower was very clean. There were clear magic symbols on the edges of the windows, which seemed more like an artistic decoration.
The body of the tower gradually shrunk upwards, but it was not obvious. Up to the tenth floor, each side was still twelve meters wide. What surprised Salin was that there were no gaps in the body of the tower. It was directly carved out of the mountain. Salin sat on the ground and touched the green stone under him. He could not tell the material of the stone.
The material chosen by a tenth rank Magician would definitely be much better than Iron Cliff's.
The windows of the Mage Tower were all inlaid with crystals, but Salin did not feel his heart palpitate. He only respected it from the bottom of his heart. This Mage Tower could be said to be built by gathering the essence of magic. Everything on the tower was so perfect, without a trace of excess.
The six sides represented the six major elements. The area of each layer should represent the corresponding magic string ratio of the corresponding level. Opening six doors at the same time meant that this tenth rank Magician could maintain the balance of the elements in the process of training.
In the process of level-one to level-three, it was very easy for a Magician to maintain the balance of the elements. After becoming a Great Magician, most people would choose the path of training that suited them and give up some magic knowledge.
After all, a person's lifespan was limited. If one did not become a Magic Shooter as soon as possible, a Magician would be like a normal person. At most, they would live to 120 years before dying.
Not everyone had wealth like Rex, and not everyone had a teacher like Salin. Too many Magicians could only rely on natural recovery because they did not have money. Their training speed was ten times slower than that of a Magician like Rex. If the difference in talent was taken into account, the ratio was even more than ten times.
There were even more Magicians who could not obtain an inheritance like Salin's. They painstakingly searched for knowledge that was wrong, wasting most of their lives.
The owner of this Mage Tower was clearly a perfect Magician. His understanding of magic had already reached the extreme. Just like this Mage Tower, it accumulated a lot of knowledge at each level before advancing to the next level.
