Lin Yun walked into the Shelter Tower and discovered that the spiral staircase was spotless. He followed the staircase and walked for no less than half an hour before reaching the top floor of the Shelter Tower. He hadn't truly entered the Shelter Tower at the end of the magic era. During that era, the Shelter Tower was the faith of countless struggling mages. It was an existence that couldn't be blasphemed.
After reaching the top floor, Lin Yun discovered that this place wasn't empty, but rather, there was a closed room. He walked over and found that the door wasn't locked. He gently pushed it open and everything within the room appeared in his line of sight.
This was a relatively spacious room. After entering, Lin Yun was surprised to discover that a spotlessly white wall was inlaid with small arrays. This looked like the control room of a magic battleship. Lin Yun had come into contact with a lot of magic battleships, and those were all abandoned after Noscent's mana was exhausted. Without the support of mana, magic battleships were just a pile of scrap metal. Lin Yun had even studied them for some time.
Thus, when Lin Yun saw the layout of the room, he thought of the control room of a magic battleship. He walked over to that wall and observed the arrays composed of countless runes. The technology used in these arrays surpassed his understanding, it even surpassed Noscent's magic civilization.
But most of the arrays were dim, meaning that there was no mana supporting them. Only one of the arrays was operating. Lin Yun walked over and took a few glances. Although he couldn't understand these profound arrays, he could still see that part of the array had the effect of protecting Noscent.
He was deeply shocked. All the mages at the end of the magic era, including him, thought that the Shelter Tower was used to protect Noscent.
But it now looked like this wasn't the case.
If it was only used to protect Noscent, then what were these arrays that hadn't been activated yet? The number of arrays that hadn't been activated accounted for over 90%. This showed that the Shelter Tower wasn't just protecting Noscent, it was far more mysterious than he had imagined.
Thus, the purpose of building the Shelter Tower was worth pondering. After all, all of Noscent's most precious magic materials were used to build such a great building.
Its role wasn't just to protect Noscent, it might even surpass the entire magic civilization and be similar to a magic battleship.
Of course, these were all his conjectures. He had no way of knowing the truth …
After leaving the Shelter Tower, Lin Yun went to the spacious decaying library. At the end of the Magic Era, he spent most of his time in the decaying library. The books there were all left behind by the mages at the peak of Noscent's Magic Era. They recorded the crystallization of their lifetime's experience and knowledge.
It was these books that had accompanied Lin Yun for more than twenty years.
He reached out and took out a book with a black cover and softly patted the dust off it. This was a book left behind by a Heaven Mage. It recorded his magic knowledge and experience. At first, Lin Yun didn't understand much of it and treated it as a leisure reading material. But when he turned around and opened it once again, he suddenly discovered how precious the magic knowledge left behind by a Heaven Mage was.
A rustling sound could be heard from time to time in the quiet library. This was the sound of Lin Yun flipping through the pages of the book. After an unknown amount of time, he closed the book and put it back in its original position. He then picked up a thick stack of books and leaned against a wooden table on the side, concentrating on reading them.
He seemed to have completely ignored the passage of time and tirelessly flipped through one book after another. From time to time, he would take out a quill and make some calculations on a piece of paper.
He had already become accustomed to this kind of lifestyle. It was just like how he had lived for over twenty years at the end of the Magic Era. Had it been someone else, they might have been driven crazy.
During this time, he had combed through the magic knowledge he had grasped and benefited greatly.
The paper on the wooden table was already piled up like a mountain. This was the result of calculating a large number of formulas.
Lin Yun carefully closed a book and put it back in its original position before returning to the wooden table and frowning in thought. After flipping through the books in the decaying library, many of the problems that had troubled him in the past had been solved, making his understanding of magic rise by a few levels.
At this time, the Whispering Crystal in his pocket suddenly shone. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Leon Merlin. He poured mana into the Whispering Crystal and Leon Merlin's joyful voice came out, "How is the situation on your side? I'm not in danger for the time being, but I've been fighting in the Pale Plane. Now that my nine Arcane Rings have thoroughly fused, I've become a genuine 7th Rank High Mage. After some time, even an 8th Rank High Mage might not be my opponent … "
After receiving Leon Merlin's message, Lin Yun frowned even more. Ever since he learned that this was an illusion, he had been wondering why the person who arranged this illusion had done it.
Could it be that they wanted to trap them or kill them?
No, that would be superfluous. The puppets that came out of the portal could be seen. There were ten puppets in total, and their ranks were controlled. Although they weren't weak, they definitely couldn't pose any danger.
Then, there were those ten paths. The person who arranged all of this clearly wanted them to set foot on different paths. It was followed by a flawless illusion. There wasn't any danger in the illusion, and instead, Lin Yun and Leon Merlin obtained indescribable benefits from the illusion.
Just like Lin Yun. If he hadn't come to this illusion, how could he have returned to the decaying library and figured out the things he hadn't understood before? After all, the magic knowledge he had comprehended during this time was extremely profound. Even if he spent a few dozen years outside, he might not necessarily be able to comprehend it.
Leon Merlin also obtained a lot of benefits. After all, the Arcane Ring came from the inheritance of the Gaugass King, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was one of the first-rate Magic Conducting Runes. The fusion of nine Arcane Rings wasn't something that could be completed overnight, and Leon Merlin had only been in the Pale Plane for a short period of time, yet he managed to successfully fuse them. This was undoubtedly a shortcut, saving him at least a year or two.
As he thought of this, an absurd thought appeared in Lin Yun's mind. 'The value of this illusion, it shouldn't be to help them increase their strength, right?'
Lin Yun shook his head. He couldn't be sure just based on this. He took out the Whispering Crystal and poured a few wisps of mana into it before calling William Merlin, Ross Merlin, and the Draconic Beastman. After doing all of this, he cautiously put the Whispering Crystal on the table and calmly waited.
The Whispering Crystal could be said to be Noscent's most advanced communication tool. It could receive messages even from thousands of kilometers away, but the stability was too poor. After waiting for a long time, the Whispering Crystal flashed with a purple light. Lin Yun picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ross Merlin. After pouring mana into it, Ross Merlin's urgent voice echoed, "Cousin Mafa, this is too inconceivable! Do you know what strange thing happened to me? After I set foot on that path, I inexplicably appeared in the Raging Flame Plane … "
"I didn't have time to think too much about it when the Watson Family's Stan Watson appeared. I was startled at the time. Wasn't Stan Watson already killed by you? Later, I fought against Stan Watson, but I couldn't do anything about it. There was a huge gap between us, so I didn't last long before being defeated by Stan Watson. But, what was inconceivable was that after being defeated, I actually returned to the scene where I met Stan Watson. "
"I was defeated again and again, and I had to start over again. I was on the verge of collapsing. Fortunately, after every battle, I would gain some new insights. After frequent battles, my strength had greatly increased. I'm already a 7th Rank High Mage. Alright, I can't say anymore, that scoundrel Stan Watson is here again … "
Ross Merlin's voice came to an abrupt stop. Lin Yun was somewhat stunned. Although he already knew that Ross Merlin was definitely in a similar illusion, he hadn't expected that it would be like this. He was defeated again and again, and he had to start over again. This was a bit too outrageous.
Before entering the illusion, Lin Yun clearly remembered that Ross Merlin had only been a 5th Rank High Mage before entering the illusion, but it hadn't been long since he had become a 7th Rank High Mage.
This kind of progress could only be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
Lin Yun scratched his cheek. It looked like his guess was correct. Not only was there no danger in this illusion, it could even help people increase their strength. But, how could they leave this illusion?
After waiting for a long time, he still hadn't received any news from William Merlin and Xiuban. He thought that the Whisper Crystal had failed to send a message. After all, the Whisper Crystal wasn't too stable. Just as he was about to put it away, a purple light suddenly flashed. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Xiuban. After pouring mana into it, the Draconic Beastman's lazy voice echoed.
"Sir Merlin, why are you looking for me …"
It was only a small voice, but it made Lin Yun 'expression turn gloomy. How could he not hear the Draconic Beastman's tone? It sounded like he had just woken up.
'Shit, he is actually sleeping …
'What kind of time is this, yet this scoundrel is still sleeping …'
"Where are you now?"
Lin Yun poured mana into the Whisper Crystal and sent a short message to the Draconic Beastman. Soon, a purple light flashed and the Draconic Beastman's voice echoed. But this time, his tone wasn't lazy, it was very careful.
"Sir Merlin, how could I know where this is … I, I'm only a Highland Beastman. "Sir, this place is too strange. I became very sleepy after coming in and inexplicably fell asleep. I just woke up. "But I seem to have become a bit more powerful, I should … I should be a 9th Rank Expert Swordsman."
