Although the ground in front of the magic tower was made of stone, the temperature wasn't low. There wasn't a trace of cold air. Rex didn't take out the tent. Everyone rested on the ground. Sicca only lay down for an hour before sitting up and looking around.
"Sicca, what's wrong?" Salin asked.
Sicca's face was red. She whispered in Salin's ear, "My … stomach doesn't feel well."
Salin was a little embarrassed. Both he and Rex were sorcerers, and they could reduce the circulation in their bodies to the lowest level. Three days would be very easy for them. At most, their physical strength would decline. However, Sika couldn't do that. Her natural control was amazing to be able to endure until now.
But this was troublesome. Urinating in front of the magic tower? That seemed disrespectful to the master of the magic tower. Who knew what reaction it would cause? But this couldn't be tolerated. Salin pointed at the other side of the magic tower and said, "Go around. Stick close to the forest. Don't go in. Otherwise, you won't be able to come out."
Rex suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Sicca, I'll go with you."
Sicca nodded gratefully. If she had known it would be so troublesome, she would have waited at the foot of the mountain. Rex brought a lot of military supplies with him. It was easy to solve the problem of convenience.
The four rested for ten hours. Then, Rex discussed with Salin which direction to enter the magic tower.
"This side, then." Salin pointed at the door in front of them. There was a big magic symbol on the door, representing the water element. Salin was most familiar with water magic. His affinity with it was even greater than that of a Great Mage. Entering from this side would be much less dangerous.
"Okay. Sicca, Nelis, don't go too far. Follow me within five steps." Rex was the first to walk towards the door.
The style of this magic tower wasn't too old. It was only a thousand years after the Fourth Dynasty. There were ruins from the Fourth Dynasty everywhere on the continent. There were also magic towers from that time. Rex clearly knew more about magic towers than Salin. Salin had a lot of knowledge in his head, but not much of it was comprehensive. Most of it was still memorized.
Rex walked to the door and raised her hand. Just as she was about to touch the magic symbol, the wooden door slid open automatically. Rex was shocked and quickly retracted her hand. She used her body to block Salin and was ready to release her Ice Pattern Armor.
Rex could also release sensing spells, but there definitely wouldn't be any living creatures in this magic tower. It would be very difficult for an empty tower to maintain the operation of all the magic arrays. Whether it was the magic cores or the special gems, sooner or later, they would all be used up.
That was why Rex dared to try her luck. Especially after she walked through Pan's maze, she was even more certain that the mage in this magic tower was already dead. Otherwise, Pan's maze wouldn't be as simple as walking for three days under the control of a mage.
Nothing appeared behind the door. There were no magic attacks, no Construct Puppets, and no strange magical beasts.
Salin poked his head out from behind Rex and looked into the Magic Tower. He didn't see anything. Behind the door was an empty space. It felt like nothingness.
It was a magic test!
Salin and Rex didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To them, the owner of the Magic Tower was an arrogant and unreasonable person. He dared to build a ten-story Magic Tower to challenge the gods, but he left a question at the entrance for others to solve. If you couldn't solve it, you would never be able to enter the Magic Tower. If you could solve it, you would be recognized by him.
This was a relatively gentle kind of mage who was willing to communicate. The prerequisite was that you had to be an orthodox mage and have a common language with him.
This didn't mean that this magic test was safe. Magic itself didn't have feelings. If you couldn't solve it, it wasn't impossible to die at the entrance of the Magic Tower.
What should they do? They couldn't see anything behind the door. There were no traces of magic arrays, magic symbols, or even boundaries. They couldn't see the floor or the walls. This was an unsolvable question. The only thing that Salin and Rex could tell was that this was a magic test related to the water element.
"Can I use the Shenluo Ring to solve it?" Salin walked out from behind Rex. Just now, Rex blocked in front of him, which made Salin feel a little ashamed. Despite the difference in level, he was also a mage, but he needed another mage to protect him with his body.
"No, if I use the power of the Shenluo Ring again, we will never be able to return to the Myers Continent." Rex directly rejected Salin's suggestion. The Shenluo Ring had already used up more than half of its power to counter the Divine Punishment, and it needed a year to recover. If it was used again, it was likely to be destroyed directly. In that case, the people on the Myers Continent would never be able to find the coordinates of this Demiplane.
"Then let me try." Salin hesitated, but still prepared to use the ability of the family badge. He also thought of hiding it. After all, the ability of this badge was a little ridiculous. Even a Magic Shooter would be sucked dry if it was stuck on their body. Moreover, this badge could increase one's mental strength, which was a huge temptation for all mages, even Magic Shooters were no exception.
However, compared to this ten-story Magic Tower, the badge was obviously not so eye-catching. Moreover, Rex was protecting him subconsciously just now, and Salin knew that Rex wasn't pretending.
There was a limit to a mage's reaction speed, and that was the time of two vibrations. Rex had stood in front of him without thinking at all. Salin was a little embarrassed, but he was more touched.
"Is it dangerous?" Princess Rex looked at Salin. This talented young mage rarely spoke, and his level was very low. But after coming to the Bitter Water Commandery for half a year, Salin stood out. Among the people that Fayern taught carefully, Salin was the first to learn Figaro's magic formula by himself.
Those who were qualified to stay by Fayern's side could be said to be very talented. However, those mages didn't have Salin's perseverance. This felt like her pursuit of magic in the past.
"Learning magic is a very dangerous thing to begin with," Salin said with a smile. "But give me some magic liquid. I will exhaust my energy, and I need to replenish it as soon as possible."
Rex took out a crystal bottle. The palm-sized crystal bottle was filled with green magic liquid. This was all she had left. Unless she became a sixth-level mage, she wouldn't be able to make it herself.
Salin took the crystal bottle and opened the lid. He tilted his head back and poured the magic liquid into his mouth. Then he took out his family badge, held it in his hand, and turned to walk into the Magic Tower.
Salin knew that he was taking a risk, but he also knew that if one wanted something, they had to pay the same price. If he relied on Rex for everything, he wouldn't be able to improve in this demiplane. The value of a ten-story Magic Tower was incomparably huge. As a fifth-level mage, Rex definitely had the priority to get it.
This result was applicable everywhere on the continent. Third-level mages had no room for negotiation. Unless he contributed his power, he wouldn't be able to get the portion he deserved.
Salin walked into the gate of the magic tower, and Rex and the rest watched as he suddenly disappeared. Silva covered her mouth and almost screamed. Nelis was very calm. Her master was still alive, and there was no danger. Otherwise, she would be the first to sense it.
Salin fell into a space that felt very muddy. The surrounding water element was so dense that it almost condensed into matter. There was no ground under his feet, and no sky above his head. His body was stiff, and he couldn't even blink.
The only thing he could move was his left hand. Left Hand of God.
He released the level-0 spell that he had prepared, and the family badge in his hand started to absorb all the energy. Salin's energy was sucked dry first, but he was surprised to find that the badge didn't continue to absorb the water element in this space. The water element rushed into his body like Joey's elemental torrent, scouring every corner of his body.
The water element that entered his body wouldn't stay for long, and would continue to be absorbed by the badge.
The water element in this space that trapped Salin seemed to be endless. Through Salin's body, it was absorbed into Salin's family badge. This process didn't even cause Salin any side effects from using the badge in the past. He even felt very comfortable.
Rex waited outside the door. After more than ten hours, there was still no movement from Salin. She was a little anxious. Nelis said, "Salin is fine. Let's wait a little longer."
Rex glanced at Nelis, and for the first time, he had doubts about her identity.
The space behind the door blocked all his senses. Could it be that this maid's senses were stronger than a fifth-level mage's? He had seen Nelis's combat power. She was a dangerous woman. Even a great mage's life would be in danger if she got close to them. How could such a woman be willing to be a servant?
Salin was still enjoying the pleasure brought by the water element, but the water element around him was getting thinner and thinner. The badge's absorption speed was a hundred times faster than usual. In the center of the thick badge, the lightning-shaped deep mark became clearer and clearer. And this time, just like when Salin made the Magic String Potion, this blue color accumulated and gradually formed a pool of liquid.
Finally, the energy absorbed by the badge reached saturation for the first time. Salin felt the whole space shake, and the water element accumulated in his body, no longer passing to the badge. What was worse was that the water element in the space didn't stop entering Salin's body just because the badge stopped absorbing. In Salin's body, the water element became denser and denser. He felt like he was an inflated floating ball, and the water element kept pouring in, making Salin mistakenly think that his body had expanded dozens of times.
