The slight anomaly quickly diverted the attention of the three of them from the astronomical spectacle.
As the tremors grew stronger, Lin ignored the changes in the lunar eclipse in the sky and ran into the nuclear room, pulling out all kinds of monitoring charts and images. The two little apprentices who ran in one step behind looked at their teacher worriedly.
"Girl, look around the tower and see if anything strange is happening." Lin pointed at the energy pool mirror that was lined up with dozens of monitoring images. The Tower of the Great Sage today, in addition to the outdoor hot springs, toilets, and private rooms, had long been covered with monitors. The monitoring images could be said to have no blind spots. It was precisely because of the large number that the two girls were in charge.
As the teacher, he observed the data of various parts of the tower, including the energy channel data recorded through the nodes, the level of each floor, the distance between floors, the density of magic power drifting in the atmosphere, the temperature and humidity of each corner, and so on.
Most of the readings were normal, but there was a drastic change in one place. And it seemed to be spreading its influence outward.
"Teacher, teacher, the star map in the dining room is spinning and flashing."
"Yes, I noticed it too."
At the same time, the shrill barking of dogs came from the first floor. In the monitoring image inside the door, the two big dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, were raising their forelimbs and desperately scratching at the magic tower door that was locked at night. It was unknown whether they had noticed something or for some other reason, but it was obvious that they wanted to escape the tower.
Since all kinds of abnormal behavior pointed to the same place, Lin had to see it for himself. The two girls were not idle. He quickly said, "Halloumi, you open the door on the first floor and let the two dogs out. Then take the emergency luggage and leave from the observatory with Floating. After that, stay outside the tower and observe the changes in the Magic Tower. If there are any abnormalities, shout. Kaya, you stay by the control panel and wait for orders. Remember I taught you how to turn off the energy transmission node? When you hear my instructions, turn off the energy node in the dining room and interrupt the energy supply. If you can't turn off the restaurant, turn off the entire tower. Then, he used Floating Walk to leave the Star Observation Tower. If the third floor shows signs of collapsing, don't wait for my orders. Just turn off the energy supply to the entire tower and leave. Do you understand? "
"Yes, teacher." The two girls answered in unison. Hallumi, on the other hand, asked worriedly, "Teacher, will there be no problems this time?"
It was a very general question, so Lin didn't delve into it. Instead, he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry. If there is a problem, we shouldn't feel any pain. Alright, cut the crap and get moving. "
It was not comforting at all. The two girls were a little frustrated, but they still followed their assigned tasks and moved quickly. Lin, on the other hand, picked up the long wand from the rack and ran towards the central stairwell. He flicked his thumb at the ring at the base of his ring finger and activated the mechanism of the magic tower's stairwell. All the stone steps disappeared into the central pillar that ran through the third floor.
The staircase connecting the three floors disappeared and was replaced by a passageway that connected all three floors. Lin Li didn't waste any time. He leaped forward and cast Floating Stride on himself. The moment before he landed on the ground, his body became as light as a feather. Then, he bent his knees to reduce the acceleration of gravity. At the same time, he kicked off the ground and rolled forward.
He was already familiar with this set of movements. This was the standard escape posture for jumping off cliffs and ravines when adventuring outside. However, Lin was using it to speed up his movements.
Ignoring the two big dogs that ran out of the tower with their tails between their legs, Lin quickly ran into the dining hall. He saw that the Millennium Star Atlas, which was originally moving slowly according to the situation in reality, now seemed to be running crazily, spinning around and drawing six concentric circles. At the same time, the wall shook violently and expanded outwards.
Fortunately, the magic materials were strong enough that no stones fell. However, looking at the magnitude of the shaking, Lin wondered if the entire stone brick would fall out.
"Kaya!" Lin shouted outside the dining hall. The girl on standby on the third floor immediately executed the order to turn off the power supply of the Star Map. The monitoring data of the dining hall, centered on the Star Map, quickly returned to zero. However, the number of the Star Map first decreased and then increased. It even exceeded the original number and continued to increase.
Faced with this situation, the brown-skinned girl ran to the stairwell and shouted, "Teacher, it seems that we can't close it. Should we close the entire tower? "
"No need! That's good. You leave immediately! "
"Yes!"
The magic array nodes and mana channels that had stopped functioning appeared as grayish-white patterns. However, this was only the part that Lin modified. The original Star Map mageweath of the Tower of the Great Sage was colorful and flashing. The entire magic array seemed to have awakened, and all the designed functions were activated one by one.
Meanwhile, Hallumi, who was already standing far outside the tower, stroked Gray Hoof who came to her side and looked at the changes outside the tower in shock. The moon of Nana, which was hanging high in the sky, reappeared in the form of a dark red full moon the moment it was completely swallowed by the dark shadow.
If Lin was by his side, the teacher would explain that sunlight refracted through the atmosphere of Planet Maze, and the red light would shine on the moon that was in the shadow area and then reflected back out. However, even if he was present, when he saw the red moon cast a beam of light that covered the entire Tower of the Great Sage, any scientific explanation would probably be thrown out of his mind.
Meanwhile, the clueless Hallumi grabbed Gray Hoof's neck and ravaged it in horror. She watched as the Tower of the Great Sage bathed in the red beam of moonlight, and the mageweath of the entire tower lit up. The blue light gradually turned into the blood-red light of the battle mode.
Between the two pointy corner walls at the top of the tower, the Flaming Eye that looked like a human eye was formed, and it kept looking up and down. This was what the Arcane Eye looked like when it was activated. Outside the Stone of Fate, there was a six-sided hexagram attack magic array erected out of thin air. The tactical light bullet attack array that Lin had modified was also operating at full power, and it only lacked a target to attack. Hallumi even forgot to shout to inform the people inside the tower.
Lin did not care about the changes outside the tower, and he did not have the strength to do so. The thousand-year-old Star Map wall in the dining hall seemed to have gathered too much energy, and the green light was overflowing. Every mageweath was also emitting a blinding light, as if it would explode at any time. Lin Yi used the Primordial Imprint of the Tower of the Great Sage hidden on the back of his right hand to try and control the chaos before him, but it was to no avail.
When the energy overflowed outside the mageweath, the entire brick was dyed a faint green, and Lin's mind began to recall the past. It seemed that he could not avoid it this time …
Suddenly, the six concentric circles that represented the orbits of the planets made a shattering sound, and the green light dimmed instantly. The yellow light that represented the sun in the center rapidly deepened, and the surrounding bricks and mageweaths also emitted a dim light. When the dim light spread to the entire Star Map, in a flash, the magic bricks became transparent and moved backward, revealing an inexplicable and strange space.
Behind this wall was the outside of the tower, and there was no hidden room, Lin was very sure. However, looking at the stone box floating in the middle of the void and glowing with magical light, Lin Xiang wondered if this was the maze's version of a storage space.
After coming to this magical world, the first thing Lin looked for was a variety of convenient storage space items, whether it was to store his personal belongings or travel items. However, it was a pity that there were no storage bags, space backpacks, or space rings in the maze. Even Warlock Saints would either carry their luggage themselves or get their disciples to carry it when they went out. There was no such thing as sneaking around.
Lin used to think that there were no such storage spaces in the maze. Now, the space in front of him proved that the related magic also existed in this world, but it was so high-end that it was difficult for people to use it.
Looking at the stone box in the void, Lin's first thought was to take it out. This was because cracks began to appear out of thin air around the space, and there were more and more cracks. It was estimated that the space would eventually collapse. Then, the things stored in it should not be safe, so it was natural to take it out before things happened.
However, Lin did not want to try and see if he could walk in. He raised his wand and recited the incantation of Bocamoso's Giant Palm. He saw magic power condensing in the void, forming a huge yellow-green magic arm. It waved toward the storage space behind the Star Map wall, and the magic arm scooped up the stone box and took it out.
The process was smooth and without any hindrance. The moment the stone box was taken out, the storage space collapsed completely. The strange and magnificent scene of the plane crevice was something that Lin had never seen or heard of before. However, the crevice, which was constantly changing like a kaleidoscope, seemed to be constantly absorbing everything around it to fill up the space.
When Lin realized that this influence had exceeded the original position of the wall and was beginning to spread toward the main plane, he was already sucked in and could not get away. The stone box in his hand was constantly being pulled forward as if it was trying to break free. It dragged his body and was being pulled toward the broken space step by step.
This time, his memories ran even faster. Even the memories of his time on Earth surfaced in his mind.
Just as he was about to accept his fate, the transparent stone brick emitted a new light of magic patterns that was different from the original one.
The new magic was activated. It directly weaved a net and caught the expanding plane crevice, preventing it from continuing to expand. As if it was suppressing or repairing, the transparent magic brick that was almost disappearing appeared again and quickly moved back to its original position. At the same time, the space behind it gradually solidified. It was not until the wall was restored to its original state that the new magic patterns dissipated between heaven and earth.
The abnormality of the magic tower began to subside. The tremors also stopped. The magic power and authority that was originally scattered in the atmosphere and was so dense that it could almost suffocate people to death also gradually decreased in level. Everything seemed to have only begun to improve after the stone box was taken out.
What could be inside the stone box that was so painstakingly collected? Lin could not help but feel puzzled.
And outside the tower, the two girls and two dogs gathered together and watched as the beam of light shot down by Nannayue gradually receded and disappeared. At the same time, the Crimson Moon in the sky also quietly disappeared, returning to its original snow-white disc. The black shadow that covered it also retreated from the west.
The magic patterns on the Tower of the Great Sage that stood where it was also turned from red to blue and then gradually faded. The improved light bullet attack array and the Arcane Eye at the top of the tower also turned into specks of starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth. Everything seemed to have returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened. Apart from the wooden box in Lin's hand, there was also the broken and useless star map in the dining room.
After meeting up with the two girls, Lin looked at the home that he had lived in for more than a year in awe. Perhaps its secret had not been seen through by everyone, and there was still an unknown side that was hidden in the darkness.
Judging from the result of this great change, it was already quite lucky that the worst-case scenario, which was the explosion of the energy pool, did not happen. Lin thought to himself. At the same time, he comforted the two worried and scared girls while looking at this unfamiliar magic tower.
