"Uncle Qi Meng." Link opened his eyes and stood there watching Uncle Qi Meng tossing in front of him for who knows how long. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you need my help?!"
Ever since he entered this challenging road, Link was still laughing and joking, but in his heart he must have been prepared to deal with all the most dangerous challenges.
Although he had been jokingly cheating with Uncle Qi Meng just now, Link knew very well in his heart that Uncle Qi Meng and even the great mentors like Old Scuva who had been hanging out with him on weekdays were not doing anything when he was walking like this.
In the process of a challenging journey, it is absolutely impossible to be disrespectful to yourself because of your usual feelings for yourself.
Although he didn't know the difference between the role of the gatekeepers mentioned by Uncle Qi Meng and the role of the great mentors who acted as guardians of the road of challenge, but after thinking about it, he knew that the roles were similar. Anyway, the duty of these guys was to torment them.
My own, in order to prevent my own challenge from going too smoothly.
Link also understood the relationship between Old Scuva and the other great mentors and him, but he had never put his hope of passing the challenge on the possibility of showing mercy to these guardians. This was already
Not only for the so-called knight's dignity, but more because Link knew very well that if he still had even a little bit of luck, he would not take this challenging path at all.
If we say that in the past three years in the Mage Tower, Link's training in Master Lei Ze's room still somewhat means that he knows that there is no danger. Whether he is willing or not, he is mentally prepared to face that kind of life-and-death battle.
There will be a slight difference, but before entering the mage tower, the battle with Mentor Calvin in the woods, and the two battles with the monster boss, they were truly a struggle between life and death.
, on the continent outside the Mage Tower that has been peaceful for who knows how many years, if we only talk about the real richness of this kind of combat experience, I am afraid that there are really not many knights who can match this young Link.
.
So as early as three years ago, when he decided to take this challenging road, Link knew what kind of attitude he should have to face the battle that was coming as soon as possible.
When Uncle Qi Meng finished those words, he was actually ready to deal with Uncle Qi Meng's attack at any time, but Uncle Qi Meng's move of pulling him down was really hard for Link to understand.
This old man with a white beard and white hair slowly moved the table, pulled up the chair, moved things, and pulled up the bed. He had no intention of getting ready to do anything. Instead, he just wanted to tidy up the room by himself.
In such an open space, there was no need to pull out any more furniture, so at first Link thought that Uncle Qi Meng was making some arrangements for the next test or battle, out of concern for the knight's presence.
Respecting the etiquette that should be observed in battle, although he looked at Uncle Qi Meng a little strangely, he never spoke to interrupt his actions.
But now I watched helplessly as Uncle Qi Meng pulled up a chair and sat down behind the moved table. He also reached out to pick up the book that was originally half-spread on the table and brushed the table carefully.
The dust on it made it look like he was about to sit down and read a book. Link looked a bit outrageous, so he asked aloud.
"Oh," Uncle Qi Meng suddenly remembered that there was such a person as Link. He raised his head and said, "Your affairs haven't been taken care of yet, right? Oh, look at my memory. I'm getting old."
It just doesn’t work.”
"It's okay," Link shrugged, and said to Uncle Qi Meng politely, "How about I help you clean up the house first, and then we'll make an agreement after you're done. There's no rush anyway!"
Link didn't believe that the gatekeeper of the Challenge Road in the Mage Tower would always cause problems. Even though Uncle Qi Meng looked like his hair and beard were completely white, but just by the look in his eyes, Link knew that this guy was powerful.
, but Link still has some experience in how to deal with some old perverts, so his attitude is now more respectful, like a good baby.
"Okay, okay." Uncle Qi Meng seemed to be very satisfied with Link's performance and nodded repeatedly: "What a sensible young man, but Uncle Qi Meng will clean up the things here by himself. You'd better go up first and don't let him
Others have waited too long!”
"No, go up?" Link glanced at Uncle Qi Meng, almost suspecting that he heard wrong, and asked again: "Go up? That's it?!"
"Yes." Uncle Qi Meng nodded matter-of-factly and pointed to the stairs not far behind him: "Don't you want to take a challenge? Go up and go up the stairs to
The last level is where the challenge road is, and there will be a guardian on each level. As for how they will let you go on, I don’t know!"
"The last floor?!" Link asked curiously: "How many floors are there in total?"
"I don't know either." Uncle Qi Meng shook his head: "I only walked as far as..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, with a strange look on his face, then looked at Link and stopped talking.
Link smiled understandingly and said nothing more.
Originally, he really wanted to learn more about this road of challenge from Uncle Qi Meng. How could he say that the old man in front of him was the first person to walk on the road of challenge since the establishment of the Mage Tower.
As the only challenger, even the great mentors cannot understand the true situation of this challenge as well as Uncle Qi Meng, who has experienced it personally.
However, Uncle Qi Meng was obviously affected by some emotions, so Link wisely did not ask any further questions.
Staying in such a room for who knows how many years, no matter how good the environment is, no matter how many powerful things you can learn here, is still a very scary thing.
"Okay, okay." Uncle Qi Meng seemed a little reluctant to say anything more, and waved to Link: "Go up, go up! If you don't go, they won't be able to wait!"
"Then I'm really going up," Link looked at Uncle Qi Meng and said, without moving his legs, and asked one more question: "I'm going up, I'm really going up!"
There is no way Uncle Qi Meng, the gatekeeper, would let loose like this, but a guy of his strength would never use sneak attacks to deal with Link. For a moment, Link was confused about what Uncle Qi Meng was.
I am also a little confused as to what I want to do.
"Go, go, it's so wordy!" Uncle Qi Meng said impatiently, as if he wanted him to leave quickly, picked up the book, buried his head, and actually started reading the book.
Link saw that Uncle Qi Meng had no intention of communicating with him anymore. He looked at the road ahead, took a deep breath, and started walking towards the stairs that were almost in front of him.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Link's every step was cautious. Even after three years of training in Master Lei Ze's room, he could already do it without putting his hand on the hilt of the sword. He even walked and breathed as usual.
, but in fact, with every step and every breath he took, he paid great attention to adjusting all the functions of his body to a state most suitable for explosion. On the road to challenge, he really did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
But unexpectedly, until he stepped on the first step of the stairs leading to the second floor, Uncle Qi Meng was still sitting steadily in his chair reading his book, looking very attentive.
, and there were no traps or summoned beasts that suddenly appeared in the room as he imagined. Even the feeling that he had reached the extreme, he did not feel the elements of heaven and earth in this room.
Even the slightest change, let alone any dangerous information.
Calm, everything was so calm, so calm that it almost made Link sweat profusely.
He couldn't believe that Uncle Qi Meng would just let him go to the second floor. However, he really didn't find that Uncle Qi Meng had any intention of taking action until now.
Now the distance between him and the second floor of the Challenge Road is only a dozen floors, but Uncle Qi Meng is sitting far away. Even if Uncle Qi Meng wants to take action now, it can be said that he has missed the best opportunity.
, as long as Link moves quickly and dodges, he can almost jump to the second level.
But Uncle Qi Meng is sitting there so steadily now, which makes Link dare not move too fast. Instead, he slowly steps up step by step, still concentrating on everything, and preparing to deal with all possibilities.
emergencies.
More than a dozen stairs passed by in a blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, there was only the last step left in front of Link. The situation on the second floor, which was almost exactly the same as the first floor, was already in front of him, but Link was surrounded by
It was still as calm as before, nothing happened at all.
Even Link, who had previously firmly believed that Uncle Qi Meng could not just let him up like this, now couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.
Is it one of the rules for challengers to enter the second level directly?!
Link flashed through this thought, but he immediately calmed down and continued to take the final step wholeheartedly.
With a soft "answer", Link's feet stepped firmly on the floor of the second floor. The surroundings were still as calm as before, as if this place was originally an ordinary building, but Link was so special.
Climbing up to the second floor as usual.
However, Link did not feel relaxed at all, because almost as soon as he stepped onto this floor, he discovered that a person who should never have appeared in front of him now actually appeared in front of him alive.
!
Uncle Qi Meng!
Uncle Qi Meng, with the white beard and white hair, is sitting there now, as if he has never moved, and is concentrating on his book!
But isn’t this the second floor?!
It’s fine that the furnishings of those tables and chairs are exactly the same as those on the first floor, but how could there be an extra Uncle Qi Meng who is exactly the same as the first floor?!
Link understood something. He turned around and looked over. Sure enough, he found that he was indeed standing on the stairs. However, the stairs in front of him did not extend down to the first floor where they should have been. Instead, they only had
The upward stairs, that is to say, it seemed that I had just walked up to the second floor, but in fact I was still on the first floor.
Space laws!
Uncle Qi Meng must have used some space law ability to fool himself!
But this is impossible?!
Even if the old Grand Master Skuva personally casts magic that affects the laws of space, it is absolutely impossible for the current Link to fall into his magic without any feeling at all. After all, for this kind of rules
In the use of magic, the most important thing is not the amount of magic power, but the degree of in-depth understanding of the laws. Let’s not say whether Link has enough power to affect the laws of space in the past three years.
, but he felt that he still understood the laws of space to a certain extent. If this was the case, he would not humiliate himself by embarking on this challenging path.
"Uncle Qi Meng," Link greeted Uncle Qi Meng enthusiastically: "We meet again, how fast!"
"Hey, young man." Uncle Qi Meng seemed to have discovered Link's existence just now. He raised his head from the book and asked in a surprised tone: "We've been talking about it for a long time, why are you still here?
?!"
"I want to leave." Link still tried his best to put on a smile on his face: "But it seems you haven't had time to tell me how to get to the second floor!"
"Isn't such a big staircase right in front of you?" Uncle Qi Meng glared: "If you don't climb up, do you still have to carry you up?!"
Another old pervert!
Link secretly defined Uncle Qi Meng in his heart!
Just with this innocent and surprised expression on his face, Uncle Qi Meng's acting skills are even better than those of Old Scuva, and he is just like Master Calvin!
But even now, Link's unusually sensitive intuition has not discovered any changes in the elements of heaven and earth in this room, nor has he discovered that the uncle Qi Meng in front of him has even the slightest trace of a large-scale attack.
The fluctuations that magic should have.
Could it be that Uncle Qi Meng's cultivation level is actually higher than that of old Skuva?! So high that I have no way of discovering his abilities?!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Link immediately denied the thought that had just occurred to him. If the ability of Uncle Qi Meng was even higher than that of old Scuva, then he would not have stayed here for so long.
The cultivation level of the Grand Master represents the pinnacle of all members in the Mage Tower. If Uncle Qi Meng can surpass the Grand Master, then he will naturally be fully qualified to leave the Mage Tower upright from the road of challenge and will never stay here again.
What a prisoner-like gatekeeper.
"Uncle Qi Meng, it's not that simple to walk up to the second floor from here, right?" Link stopped the smile on his face and said to Uncle Qi Meng seriously: "What kind of test is this?
!Have I cracked your space magic? Even if I pass your test, I can really set foot on the second floor?!"
Since I can't formulate any words, I might as well just state my words clearly.
In any case, Link is now the challenger who wants to challenge the Mage Tower. As the gatekeeper guarding the first level, Uncle Qi Meng has the right to test Link how he wants to, but he must also
Tell the challenger clearly about the content of the test. This is a kind of respect that strong people should have.
"Oh, that's right." Uncle Qi Meng patted his head, as if he had just remembered: "Look, look, why did I forget to tell you these things again? Alas, as I get older, my brain is still weak.
It just doesn’t work!”
Link didn't interrupt, just watched his performance quietly.
"But you were wrong just now, young man." Uncle Qi Meng said to Link with a smile: "What you saw is not some space magic!"
He looked at Link, with a somewhat sentimental look in his eyes, as if he was remembering his past: "I can't feel a trace of magic fluctuations in your body, nor do I feel the slightest bit of fighting spirit, but
I know that anyone who dares to think about trying this challenging road must be a very extraordinary person, so I can only say that your cultivation level should be higher than mine now, so I don’t understand what you have done.
What kind of abilities do you have!"
Link scratched his head and didn't explain, because he didn't know where to start.
Not to mention Uncle Qi Meng's cultivation level, even the great mentors of the Mage Tower cannot tell what level he has reached.
Because what Link is taking now is a path of practice that no one has ever tried before. Even these old monsters who have lived for countless years have nothing to do with such a way of practice.
There is experience to speak of, and the steps of progress in Link's practice are completely different from their agreed-upon system. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone, including Link himself, to clearly explain the extent of Link's practice.
, after all, it is difficult for the magic system in the Mage Tower or the magic system on the mainland to find a stage that corresponds to Link's self-invented practice model.
"So, don't say that I don't understand the kind of magic that can affect the laws of space at all." Uncle Qi Meng continued: "Even if I do, as long as I cast such a large-scale magic, I am afraid it will never be hidden from your eyes and ears.
Bar!"
"Uh", Link's interest was suddenly aroused: "Without using magic, what you did just now is enough to affect the law of space. How did you do it?!"
"This is a culture inherited from a country that is said to have been the most powerful country in the past." Uncle Qi Meng said slowly: "Since the war of gods in ancient times, not many people on the mainland understand this kind of thing.
Now after so many years, perhaps I am the last old guy who has mastered this kind of thing!"
"This kind of thing", Uncle Qi Meng looked around at the furniture, the bed, and the chair, with a look of nostalgia and pride in his eyes: "It's called 'formation'!"
