Gretel has been at the Magic Council headquarters for more than a month, and this is the first time she has the opportunity to go up the mountain to see the core group of magic towers. The small train clanked all the way up the track, and the light outside the window increased with the height.

It got darker little by little.

Water mist gradually filled the glass window. Gretel stretched out his hand to wipe it, and looked out through the window. He found that the train had entered the mist, and the visibility outside was less than 20 meters. Further up, rain fell continuously, and on the

Dots were smashed out on the car windows, and they soon formed water lines.

"I didn't bring an umbrella!"

Gretel looked at the red-robed mage for help. A high-level mage may have magical protection, such as Master Carlisle. Gretel saw that when he walked out, the rain naturally drained away from him. But he is a great mage, and he is a 1

A junior mage doesn't have this ability!

Not to mention whether you might catch a cold or pneumonia if you get wet in the middle of winter, it would be too embarrassing to go see the Archmage all wet!

"Don't worry, you won't get wet." Red-robed mage Harvey laughed. Gretel felt a little relieved, thinking that the rain would stop when we reached the top of the mountain. The rain really stopped, but——

A violent storm.

Before the train even stopped, the howling wind was blowing snow flakes, and the windows were already banging loudly. The glass windows were shaking back and forth in the window frames, and even the train car itself had a suspicious shaking feeling.

Gretel: "..."

How high is this wind? Level 7? Level 8? It can't be level 9 or higher, right? If it gets stronger, I no longer have to worry about getting wet, but I have to worry about whether I can walk!

The red-robed mage on the opposite side still smiled and said nothing. The train climbed up for a short distance and entered the flat ground. After traveling another twenty or thirty meters, there was a sudden silence outside the carriage, the wind speed slowed down, and the blizzard disappeared without a trace, as if it was entering.

Another world.

Gretel tried his best to look back. There were no walls, no glass, and no visible entities. However, the wind and snow were indeed blocked, swirling and whistling twenty or thirty meters behind, forming a white barrier.

"Welcome to Igor Peak."

Master Harvey kept admiring Gretel's shocked expression until the train stopped, then he smiled and pointed forward:

"What you see is the defense system of the mage tower group, the Igor Mystery Lock. The top of Igor Peak has lightning and thunder all year round, and there are violent storms and snow in winter, so part of the Mystery Lock is opened as usual. On the one hand, it regulates the climate, and on the other hand,

You can also actively draw power from the storm."

This is...a large-scale active weather defense system?

Also has active energy absorption?

Even the high-tech in previous lives couldn’t do it!

Grete sighed sincerely. So the technology in this alien world may not be that backward, it may just be that the technology tree is crooked...

Master Harvey allowed Gretel to turn his head vigorously and admired the wonder of the lock for a while before handing over a small sign. He motioned for Gretel to hang it on his wrist:

"This is a temporary pass inside the Mystery Lock. You haven't authenticated it in the Tower of Babel - oh, the main mage tower in it - so hang this to make it easier to walk."

After saying that, he stepped out of the carriage first. A ray of light immediately shot down from the sky and shone on the two of them. The small round sign in Grete's hand buzzed softly, and his vision immediately became clear.

The top of Eagle Peak is not sharp and straight, but a continuous plateau. In the center of the platform stands a magnificent mage tower, the upper half of which is deeply inserted into the clouds, with vague lightning dancing around the tower.

Surrounding the main tower are a group of mage towers of different shapes, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin. There is also a crooked tower, with an angle larger than that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Looking at it like that, Grete is really worried that it will fall.

Go to the bottom of the cliff. Master Harvey pointed to a pyramid-shaped one and introduced him:

"That's from the Necromancy School..."

Gretel: "..." Can I guess that there is an inverted pyramid below?

However, he did not have time to explore them one by one. Master Harvey led him straight forward and entered the right side of the main tower, a mage tower with slender and smooth lines and a full waist. As he walked, he introduced:

"The teacher attaches great importance to your paper on bats and submitted it to the review committee for review. The review committee collected the recent situation and received a letter from Master Wood, so they asked you to come up and ask about the situation..."

With that said, he stepped into the mage tower. The auxiliary tower on the right is a bright light blue from the wall to the ground, like the color of water waves. The inside of the wall is deep and changing, and at a glance, it seems that there are constant ripples.

scroll.

Grete was about to take a closer look when Master Harvey had already pulled him into a small semicircular room. He stretched out his hand and touched the wall, pointed at shoulder height, and a translucent black panel whispered softly: "Floor 35

,Thanks."

"Floor 35, please wait." A soft female voice replied. Grete's feet sank, and numbers began to flash on the black panel: 1, 2, 3... 10, 11...

Voice-controlled elevator? Grete was a little surprised. Master Harvey observed his words and introduced him: "We can just stand here. The tower spirit will control this room and raise it to the 35th floor. When we come down later, it will be the same."

Speak to Talling here."

I'm not surprised about voice-controlled elevators. I'm surprised that you have voice-controlled elevators here... Grete complained silently.

They were met by the Archmage on the 35th floor. The person who came forward to inquire was the one who taught the sonic course, Master Qifar, Master Harvey's teacher. He called Gretel to come closer and turned the paper in his hand to the last page.

Page, pointed to a few lines of words and asked him:

"Gret Nordmark? - Your paper says that the experimental conditions are limited and the results may not be accurate. So, what conditions do you need to ensure accuracy?"

"Types of animals, quantity, number of people to take care of them, experimental environment, equipment." Grete answered very fluently:

"Experimental animals must at least be mice, rabbits, pigs, sheep, horses, if possible, plus pigeons and dogs, and preferably monkeys. To seek healthy adults, half male and half female, multiply the number of bats by 100

Quantity configuration. At least 3 to 5 species of bats...manpower...houses...experimental equipment..."

I have long thought that the lion would open his mouth! God knows that when he asked Elder Wood for help, the experimental conditions were deleted again and again, and reduced again and again, until he could no longer cut them, and if he cut them again, nothing would be done!

Just like the school building of Southwest Associated University, it was changed from three floors to two floors, from two floors to one-story house, from brick walls to adobe walls, from green tile roof to thatched roof...

"If these conditions were given to you, could you achieve the same result?"

Master Qifar listened patiently and asked. Gretel immediately shook his head:

"No. I can only say that the more complete the experimental conditions are, the greater the probability of producing results."

"But if you do it according to your conditions, it will cost a lot." Master Qifar's eyes flashed with a smile:

"If you can't guarantee the result, what if the Magic Council doesn't agree to redo it?"

"I have tried my best." Grete replied without hesitation. I gave the warning and handed in the paper. Do you want me to make the decision for the Magic Council about whether to spend money and whether to conduct repeated experiments?

If the patient refuses to pay or undergo an examination, we can't do it!

Anyway, I have confirmed its transmission route. If the council refuses to issue a warning, I will wear a mask every day, maintain social distance as much as possible, and brush myself with healing spells every day...

"You just need to give me a grade for this assignment. Everything else is fine with me." He said calmly. Master Qifar's smile deepened:

"Then I'll take it as your consent!"

Without waiting for Grete to answer, he touched a pen and scribbled two lines of words on the paper. He handed it to Master Harvey:

"You sort out the experimental conditions Gretel wants, make an evaluation, and apply to the Magic Council for emergency project approval. After the application is approved, let him preside over it and conduct repeated experiments."

Gretel: "...Hello!"

What did I promise? I didn’t promise anything! Repeat the experiment and do it yourself! I still have a lot of things to study, a lot of magic to learn, meditation, and upgrades!
Chapter completed!
