[The third chapter. There's one more chapter. It's not that I'm willing to write late. I wanted to do it earlier, but I have a child at home recently, so I have to keep the same schedule.]
"That's the theory, but now, my combat power has returned to its original state." Salin reluctantly changed back to the original Demon God Set, which still had six level-nine spells enchanted on it. The new Demon God Set's defensive power was not low, but the spells on it were all erased by the Star Condensing Needle, so it had no offensive power.
Putting the six elemental badges back into his belt, Salin let the Wing Skeleton summon the revenants, but he found that the passage to the Undead Plane was cut off. Helplessly, the Wing Skeleton could only release the revenants stored in the Green Spirit.
With the advancement of his mental strength, Salin felt that his Magic Strings were also showing signs of growth. This was a good sign. Once he felt that his Magic Strings were growing, as long as he had enough mental strength, he would be able to advance as a magician in at most ten years, or at least a year.
The Wing Skeleton could not bear to use high-level revenants to explore the way, so it released low-level Skeleton Soldiers. There were no new threats in the house where Salin was, and he did not plan to return to the street filled with star maps.
Jumping over the wall, Salin and the others entered the neighboring house. Salin remembered that there was no dangerous aura in the neighboring house, so he let the Skeleton Soldiers search, but none of the twenty or so Skeleton Soldiers returned. The Winged Skeleton did not even sense what had destroyed the Skeleton Soldier.
Salin did not dare to stay in this house, so he crossed over and entered the third house. As soon as he entered the house, two huge wooden sculptures flew over from afar.
Salin did not have time to waste, so he led the Wing Skeleton and Nelis to cross the yard at a crazy speed, leaving the wooden sculptures behind. Seeing the intruders leave, the wooden sculptures did not chase and returned to their original positions.
Just like that, Salin, Nelis, and the Wing Skeleton passed from one yard to another like thieves, approaching the Astrology Tower from behind the houses of the Astrologers.
The Astrologers did not leave behind any weapons, and the back of the house was a garden for the Astrologers to rest and play. There were not many defensive arrangements, so Salin actually broke through and arrived at the Astrology Tower.
If Salin had forcefully passed through the Star Path ahead, he would definitely not have died with that key, but it would be hard to say for Nelis and the Winged Skeleton. If the Winged Skeleton and Nelis died, Salin would definitely take their equipment. The Great Grandmaster harbored ill intentions and hoped that Salin's two contracted creatures would die.
Of course, this was a bit risky. Astrologers had strange temperaments. Some of the weapons of Astrologers didn't care who you were. As long as you entered their attack range, they would launch a fatal attack.
In the eyes of astrologers, this was fate.
Salin took Nelis and the Winged Skeleton and climbed over three miles of walls in a frenzy. Behind each wall, some strange thing roared loudly even after Salin had left.
There were no buildings within a few hundred meters of the Astrology Tower. Salin flipped over the last wall and looked at the Astrology Tower from afar. He had the urge to worship it.
This Astrology Tower was a thousand meters tall and was perfectly straight from top to bottom. Furthermore, it was made of wood. After being immersed in the high-pressure seawater for so long, the surface of the Astrology Tower didn't have much damage.
The ancient tower was surrounded by starlight, which was very eye-catching in the dark seabed. Salin looked up from below and could see every detail of the Astrology Tower.
Was this a miracle created by humans?
Salin looked around and saw that below the Astrology Tower, there were dozens of doors of different sizes. These doors all had one thing in common, and that was the Star Map on the lintel of the door was still in operation.
If one wanted to enter, one had to have a key. Salin took off the key hanging around his neck and pondered which door to enter from.
He should have entered from the front door, but the Great Grandmaster had sent Salin and the rest to the back door. Salin was thinking that if he was driven by fate to come here, then he shouldn't have entered from the front door. But why should his fate be in the hands of others?
If he entered from the front door, then the Astrologers would control his fate. Even the Great Grandmaster and the rest believed that the Astrologers' words had come true. So what should he choose?
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Nelis didn't have the abilities of the Winged Skeleton. Seeing that Salin was hesitating, she could only ask.
"I'm thinking about who should decide my fate." Salin played with the key in his hand and looked at the dozens of doors of different sizes.
"Of course it's yourself!" Nelis looked at Salin, took out a gold coin and stuffed it into Salin's hands.
Salin laughed and felt that he was a little neurotic. He tossed the gold coin up and thought to himself, If it's heads, then I'll go through the front door. If it's tails, then I'll choose the back door.
The space here was filled with dim starlight. When Salin's gold coin was tossed up and down, it passed through countless thin lines of starlight before landing on the stone floor with a clink.
Salin looked down and suddenly felt a little depressed. The gold coin was actually standing, not heads or tails.
It was almost impossible for such a thing to happen on the water. After all, when Salin tossed the gold coin, the gold coin was spinning. But in the seawater, the gold coin stopped rolling when it fell to the end. On the ground here, there was gravity formed by starlight. When the gold coin landed, it didn't shake at all. It stood there steadily.
Salin kicked the gold coin away. The gold coin cut through the seawater with a whoosh. Salin's strength was equivalent to that of a Sacred Swordsman. When this gold coin flew out, it was comparable to an arrow shot by an ordinary archer.
The starlight on the ground suddenly exploded. More than a hundred rays of starlight hit the gold coin that Salin kicked away. The gold coin directly dissolved in the starlight. In the cold seawater, it turned into specks of gold powder and scattered on the ground.
Nelis suddenly said, "Master, let's go through that door." She pointed forward and pointed at the first door from the right.
"Why?" asked the Winged Skeleton. He didn't want to hand his fate to Nelis.
"When I was young, I lived at the top of a tall mountain. There was a platform a few meters high there. Demons couldn't come up. Lying down on the platform, you can see the starry sky of the Demonic Plane. That starry sky is very similar to the star chart on this door. "
"Okay, this is the door." Salin removed the Water Pattern Shield and led Nelis and the Winged Skeleton to the Astrology Tower.
A few hundred meters away, Salin and the others didn't attract any attacks. He held the key and came to the door that Nelis pointed at. In the middle of the door, there was a star chart. The star chart was surrounded by starlight. In the middle, there was a keyhole.
Salin didn't hesitate and inserted the key. The small door slid open silently. Salin felt the pressure behind him increase dramatically, but the seawater didn't rush into the small door. Salin hung the key around his neck again. He stretched out his hands, pulling Nelis with his left hand and the Winged Skeleton with his right, and walked through the small door.
There was light inside the door, but there was no source of light. After Salin and the others entered, the small door closed automatically. Salin saw a hall in front of him. There were stairs in front and crystal counters on both sides. The crystal counters were more than three meters high. It was empty inside. Who knew what was displayed there.
Salin's Elemental Eyes swept around. He didn't see the terrifying starlight outside the door. In this hall, the starlight was emitted from the walls and floor, just for lighting.
This hall seemed to take up even more space than the entire Celestial Tower. This involved high-level laws of space. However, the Celestial Tower could gather more energy and set up more things like magic arrays to open up space. It was much easier than creating spatial equipment.
"Master, do you want to go up?"
"Of course." Salin shook off Nelis and the Winged Skeleton. He walked in front and stepped onto the stairs in front. The stairs went up more than a hundred steps. There were two turns. Salin turned left. There were still more than a hundred steps.
On the second floor, Salin saw an even bigger hall. There were dozens of staircases on all four sides of the hall. No matter what the first floor was, it was the same on the second floor. They all had to come to this hall.
Salin came to the center of the hall. He looked up and saw an atrium.
This atrium was very spacious. However, it was nearly a thousand meters from here to the top of the tower. The atrium seemed a little narrow. Around the atrium were railings on every floor. At the top of the atrium, there was a bright star.
This wasn't an illusion of a star chart. Salin's Elemental Eyes could see that the star at the top of the Astrology Tower was an independent space. At least, he couldn't see the end of it with his Elemental Eyes. This astrologer was really generous. Salin didn't understand how this place could be connected to another space.
No matter what, he couldn't believe that this starry sky was really expanded by spatial means. In the research of mages, the distance between stars was at least a few hundred thousand miles. The distance between bright stars was more than a few billion miles. No matter how powerful an astrologer's spatial rules were, it was impossible to open up such a huge star territory!
But how could they go up from here? Without magic arrays and stairs, Salin didn't know how an astrologer could go up and down the Astrology Tower.
Nelis and the Winged Skeleton were also searching around. The hall on the second floor did not have ordinary walls. It was stuck to the edge of the Astrology Tower and was made of transparent crystals. The crystals were also shining with starlight. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling crystal window, they could see the houses that they had passed by. Salin took a look and found that there were many statues of different sizes in front of the houses. If they walked from the front, they might never reach the Astrology Tower.
"Master, what should we do?" Nelis looked up at the star above her head. She was frustrated. She was impatient, unlike the Winged Skeleton who could keep his cool.
Salin pointed at his feet. There was an independent star chart on the ground. It was completely different from the star charts on the floor around it. It was also unrelated. The star chart under his feet, however, depicted the starry sky above his head.
Salin wasn't an astrologer, but his observation skills allowed him to understand the clues.
