Half an hour later, on the third floor of the spiral staircase, Ma Wen was panting slightly. Behind him were a series of magic beast corpses and traces of traps.
He dodged most of the traps.
There was only one lightning trap that Marvin could not dodge in time because it was activated too quickly.
He had already used up his Shadow Clone Technique in the first Deadly Trap. Marvin's greatest frustration was that even though he had the paper-folding technique that allowed him to create an infinite number of clones, he was still unable to create an army of paper people out of thin air like the Shadow Thief and Owl.
He had taken a lot of damage himself.
Fortunately, he had finally reached the third floor.
Although the black tower towered into the clouds, it actually only had three floors.
It was relatively simple to build a wizard tower. There was a dungeon and a hall. The second floor was the apprentice's residence and laboratory, and the top floor was the wizard's private residence.
It was not as complicated as the wizard towers of today.
Ma Wen was also lucky to be able to make it here.
He did not know the secret spell and simply forced his way through. If he was in the wizard tower when it was full of energy, there would be nothing left of him now.
In this aspect, thieves were much stronger. They had a variety of ways to eliminate traps. Ma Wen had skills and experience, but he did not have the relevant skills.
Although he had all kinds of tools in his storage equipment and did not need to remove the traps with his bare hands, he still suffered a lot.
Ma Wen only dared to do this because the old tower had been abandoned for a long time.
…
The black tower valley was the settlement of the Mikensi wizards.
The tallest tower was the guardian of the secret garden, one of the stronger wizards among the Mikensi wizards.
As far as Ma Wen knew, the seventh tower was built by the most powerful wizard among the Black Tower wizards.
Only this tower had some good things. The rest had either become trash or had mysteriously disappeared.
Marvin couldn't tell what the exact reason was.
When he stood on the wooden floor of the third floor, he felt a cold wind blowing.
There was an evil feeling in his heart.
There were no monsters around, and the six lamps automatically lit up. The ancient wizards were still very thrifty. Some of the rooms were empty. Only the master bedroom and the meditation room were relatively exquisite.
"What's with this feeling? Did I fall for an illusion again? "
After the previous incident, Ma Wen maintained a high degree of vigilance towards this world.
He checked the data panel, but there were no signs of a Will verification.
Calmly, he began to search the rooms one by one.
After experiencing the dangers of the spiral staircase, these rooms were relatively safe.
After all, no one would set up a bunch of strange traps in their own residence.
Ma Wen had only come for the Earth Crystal Shard. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to synthesize a complete Earth Crystal, he would have rushed to the third region long ago. Finding Ibu was more important.
He searched quickly and soon found a box in the master bedroom.
The box was hidden under the bed, and there were faint magic waves coming from it.
Ma Wen carefully opened the box. There was no mechanism.
In the end, there was nothing in the box except a pile of straw.
Ma Wen laughed. "You want to fool me with this little trick?"
He directly put his hand in.
The straw began to ripple. Ma Wen grabbed it slightly, and in the next second, a clear yellow shard appeared in his hand.
"I've finally obtained it."
Ma Wen couldn't wait to take out the other two Earth Crystal Shards.
The first came from the Claw Terror's nest, the second from the Saruja ruins, and now the third was in the secret garden of the dead realm.
Of course, there were many Earth Crystal Shards left in various corners of Fernand's world, far more than these three.
But it was already very difficult for Ma Wen to collect three shards.
The Earth Crystal Shards were attracted to each other, and without the need for other rituals or procedures, Ma Wen put them all together and began to automatically fuse.
This fusion process took about fifteen minutes. With nothing to do, Ma Wen began to look around the bedroom.
When he was frantically rummaging through things before, he only cared about the Earth Crystal Shards and didn't notice anything else.
However, after so many years, most of the things here had turned into dust and ruins.
Only a simple and unadorned book on the table seemed to have not been damaged.
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat as he walked over and took the book in his hand.
"Animal hide … probably some kind of Wyvern hide …"
Ma Wen was a bit surprised.
Only a book made of this material could be preserved in the merciless passage of time.
It seemed to be a diary.
"Could it be left behind by the original owner of this tower?"
Ma Wen couldn't help but be curious.
He began to flip through the notebook.
Because it wasn't an official spell book, the original owner didn't add too many seals and spells to this notebook.
And some of the simple tricks had already turned into nothingness in the passage of time.
As Ma Wen flipped through the pages, many of the words on it were already starting to become blurred.
In another ten years, this diary would probably turn into dust as well.
Time is merciless, and apart from the gods, no one can truly be eternal.
While reading, Ma Wen paid attention to the fusion process of the Earth Crystal Shards.
However, the contents of the diary gave him goosebumps!
His guess was right. This diary was indeed left behind by the owner of the Wizard Tower. This guy's name seemed to be Ollikai, who claimed to be the leader of the Black Tower Wizards and one of the seven members of the Supreme Council of the Mikens Guild.
This guy was very powerful. In the absence of the Universe Mana Pool, he easily became a legendary Wizard.
He was different from the ordinary Mikens Guild Wizards. In addition to Potionology, this Wizard Ollikai seemed to have done some research in the field of souls.
In this diary, he vaguely mentioned his interest in necromancy and soul-related Wizards many times.
At first, he could still control himself, but later on, he began to secretly use his authority to start human experiments.
Until the Star Beasts invaded.
As the leader of the Black Tower Valley, he naturally had to fight the Star Beasts.
In the last battle, he and the others defeated the Star Beasts and sealed them.
However, the diary vaguely revealed his uneasiness.
"This guy actually survived by betraying his teammates."
Marvin was filled with disdain for his self-justification in the diary.
After that battle, Wizard Mikens suffered a great loss. This had something to do with Ollikai betraying his teammates to survive.
He survived, but the entire Sorcerer School was completely weakened.
Thus, his power in the council increased, and he began to study the art of immortality.
At the end of the diary, Ma Wen could feel that this old man did not have much time left to live, and he was already a little crazy.
At this time, the enemy came.
The idea of releasing the Star Beasts to fight against the enemy was proposed by Ollikai himself.
Many people objected to this, but at that time, Ollikai's power in the council was too great.
Coupled with the defeat in the final battle, a group of Wizards finally agreed to release the body of the Star Beasts.
This caught the enemy off guard. The fall of the Star Beasts, and the enemy's vitality was greatly damaged.
In fact, the third area of the Secret Garden was the Star Beasts' remains. This was something Ma Wen knew.
However, what gave him the chills was the description in the old man's diary!
[The plan is about to succeed … They finally agreed to release Durunia …]
[Hahaha, tomorrow, I will take the most crucial step on the road to immortality. I will have more time. Time, I need time! I am the most powerful genius since ancient times, how can I lose to time?]
[The final battle — for them, of course, but for me, it is the beginning of glory.]
The diary came to an abrupt end.
After that, there was a large blank space.
If Ma Wen's guess was right, the last page was written by Ollikai himself the day before Wizard Mikens released the Star Beasts.
What was his plan?
Did he succeed?
Ma Wen did not know.
He vaguely felt that things might not be so simple. If Ollikai survived that battle, then in the Secret Garden, there was not only one Wizard Mikens who survived, but two!
Sorcerer-Apprentice Eric and Legendary Sorcerer Ollikai!
Eric was swallowed by the King of Potions, and Ollikai seemed to have disappeared since then.
Was he also swallowed by the King of Potions?
This was almost impossible.
One had to know that at that time, the power of the King of Potions was very weak, and it needed temptation and deception to swallow a small Wizard Apprentice.
It was completely unable to fight against a Legendary Wizard.
"Could it be that the old man's immortality plan failed? What was his plan? Why did it have anything to do with the release of the Star Beasts? "
Marvin furrowed his brows.
He could not figure this out at all.
But anyway, who knew how many years ago it was. Even if the old man's plan succeeded, he could not really achieve immortality.
Without the Fate Slate, there was no way to become a God; without becoming a God, except for a few professions such as Cloud Climbing Monk and Lich, no one could become immortal.
Otherwise, the King of Potions would not be able to control the entire Secret Garden, right?
Ma Wen put down the diary and put these things behind him for the time being.
At this moment, the fusion of the Earth Crystal was finally completed.
In front of Ma Wen was a crystal with distinct edges and corners.
It exuded a powerful energy, and if it was in the hands of a Legendary Wizard, it could almost change the world.
The Earth Crystal combined with the Legendary spell [Changing Seas into Mulberry Fields] could permanently change the terrain of an area!
You could turn mountains into plains, oceans into snowy mountains!
This was the power of the Earth Crystal!
…
After dealing with the Earth Crystal, Ma Wen did not stay any longer and immediately left the seventh tower.
There was no longer anything worth staying in the ruins of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
Ma Wen activated stealth and ran at full speed. He had the ability of [Stealth Master], so he could move at full speed while in stealth.
If he encountered a magic beast with sharp senses, he could directly use his speed to escape.
He ran all the way and finally left the ruins of the Ancient Desolate Tower.
In the distance was a plain. On the plain was a huge skeleton about a thousand meters long, and one could vaguely see what it looked like when it was alive.
This was a terrifying star beast. This was one of the smaller star beasts, but it had almost destroyed a prosperous Sorcerer School.
However, what made Ma Wen even more excited was that there was a person standing next to the star beast's corpse.
Ibu!
Ma Wen excitedly rushed over.
Elven King's face was solemn. He was very surprised to see Ma Wen appear, but his first action was to keep quiet.
Ma Wen was slightly surprised.
"Lower your voice, it's still alive!"
Ibu's words were like a bolt from the blue!
