Taking over the Tower of Shadows is easier than Dulan imagined. Ravenkin is much simpler than other ancient sages who left treasures. As long as they can pass the shadow maze, they are qualified to inherit the treasures here. In Forty-Seven
After the introduction, Dulan roughly understood some specific situations.
The Tower of Shadows has about eleven floors. The first floor is the hall where Duran is currently staying. This place has no characteristics other than being empty and luxurious. The scattered rooms are also warehouses for storing items. The second floor
The first floor is the training base for shadow thieves that Duran values most, and the third floor is the rune mage laboratory. The fourth to ninth floors are still a forbidden area for Duran, although he is already a member of the Tower of Shadows.
The new owner, but in Forty-Seven's words, Duran's current strength is too low, so that his authority is not high enough to access the core interests of the Tower of Shadows.
This made Dulan a little depressed, but then he thought about it, he had already obtained most of the benefits of the Tower of Shadows, and he should learn to be content. What's more, in addition to the first, second, third and third floors, there are observation rooms and
The eleventh floor of the astrology room and the tenth floor where the magic pool is located are also under Duran's control. In other words, as long as he wants, he can completely control most of the mage tower.
Duran had no experience in managing the Mage Tower, but the top priority was to find Kate and his party. He somehow entered the shadow maze, and maybe they did too. So under the leadership of Forty-Seven, Duran and Simodo
Taking the mechanical elevator - this mechanical craft inherited from the dwarves has long been lost today, but in the Tower of Shadows, the shadow of this mechanical civilization can be seen everywhere.
The location of the mechanical elevator is very secret. If it weren't for Forty-Seven's leadership, Duran might not have been able to find it. There was an ordinary blanket hanging on the right hand side of the escalator. Forty-Seven skillfully removed the blanket.
Open it, revealing the secret door inside. Behind the secret door is this machine with a rather simple and tough style. With the help of Forty-Seven, Duran and Simodo squeezed into the narrow elevator, and the group quickly
We have reached the tenth floor of the Tower of Shadows, which is also the real control center here.
"Most of the runes in the tower have lost their effect, but the Peeping Eye should still be effective." Forty-seven explained while leading Duran to a wide table. Duran noticed that this
The long table made of fine mahogany has at least been solidified with a permanent "dust-free" magic, so that this place will not be stained with dust after countless years.
The peeping eye mentioned by the mechanical puppet is a long monocular telescope fixed on the table. Duran only needs to attach his eyes in front of the telescope, and he can observe the Tower of Shadows through the spell set by Raven King himself.
The specific situation around it. What supports the normal operation of the Peeping Eye is the magic pool of the Shadow Tower. When the Shadow Tower was closed, the nine magic pools here were full of magic power. However, time passed by in a hurry, even this time.
During this period, the minimum operation was maintained, and the magic power was consumed bit by bit. Now there is no more magic power in the magic pool. This is why Forty-Seven reminded Duran that he can only enter and exit the thieves training base ten times.
The reason—the magic power reserves of the Mage Tower are now in short supply.
The Peeping Eye is a very useful magic. When adventurers try to visit the residence of a great mage, they will be seen clearly by this eye. Duran curiously raised his eyes and followed the forty-seven instructions.
I read the instructions provided and said silently in my mind: "Check the situation in the shadow maze."
In an instant, the scene in the lens tube changed from pitch black to a dynamic pattern. His perspective was constantly switching, as if he had suddenly arrived above the Tower of Shadows and was overlooking the place from a high place.
"It turns out that the real shadow maze looks like this..." With the help of the peeping eye, Duran saw clearly the buildings around the mage tower for the first time. It was slightly different from what he imagined. The four buildings of the shadow tower were slightly different from what he imagined.
The surroundings are not surrounded by a maze of shadows, but are instead erected with numerous obstacles based on the terrain of the Valley of Shadows.
On both sides of the Tower of Shadows, cliffs and cliffs stand, and countless shadow beasts roar in the wasteland. This place was originally a branch of the Shadow Plane. With the help of the Prince of Shadows, Raven King transformed a small piece of the Shadow Plane into
The space was separated from the plane, allowing it to float between the lower plane and Feinan Continent. The two shadow mazes cleverly blocked the front and rear entrances of the Shadow Valley. If someone accidentally bumps into it or
If he intentionally enters the Valley of Shadows, if he is not particularly familiar with the plane of shadows, he will definitely be involved in the maze of shadows.
To Duran's expectation, he did not see the movements of Kate's group through his prying eyes, which meant that they did not enter the shadow maze.
"What's going on? Are they in trouble in the Valley of Shadows?" Duran was a little worried. It was just Erica and the two ice fairies. The safety of Kate and Tiepi was very important to Duran.
And of course there's Abu the fire-eater.
But there was nothing he could do if he was anxious right now. He had to quickly control the entire Tower of Shadows and then take it away from here.
That's right, Dulan's thoughts are far bolder than those of ordinary adventurers. The Shadow Valley where the Tower of Shadows is located is actually similar to the Bone Burial Village. They are both virtual places wandering between the lower plane and Feinan.
No matter how ingenious the design of this plane opened by Raven King was, without the magical support of the legendary mage, this plane must have been sinking under the attraction of the lower plane, and when the time came, it attracted the attention of the lord.
Level shadow creatures, the rules set by Raven King may not be able to take effect, and the Tower of Shadows will also suffer a devastating blow.
As for taking away the mage tower, Duran was not out of the blue. He had already planned for this. He asked: "Forty-seven, I know that a super powerful [shrinking spell] rune has been solidified on the Tower of Shadows."
, you can shrink the Tower of Shadows to the size of your palm. What I want to ask is, is the existing magic power in the magic pool enough to support the use of the shrinking spell? Also, after shrinking, the magic power required to restore it to its original shape must also be taken into account."
Forty-Seven was silent for a while, and the blue light in his eyes flickered: "The required magic power is being calculated... Report, the reduction technique requires 3,659 magic points, the restoration technique requires 1,700 magic points, the magic pool
The existing magic power is less than 15,000 points. If it needs to be reduced and restored once, the number of times to open the shadow thief training base will be reduced to a maximum of six times."
Duran nodded. Since it can be reduced and restored, it must not be a problem to take it out of this place. In Duran's plan, this Tower of Shadow will occupy a very important position in the future. It has already unfolded in his mind
A vast picture, on the vast Feinan continent, there is a place that he thinks is most suitable for relocating the Tower of Shadows.
"Modovac..." Dulan muttered softly. The legendary holy mountain hidden in the Land of the Rising Sun is also an ancient place symbolizing freedom and wisdom. Not only does it have fertile land and sufficient
Minerals, and more importantly, Duran remembered that there is a pure magic lake east of Modovac, which can provide abundant magic power to the Tower of Shadows.
Once the Shadow Tower is placed there, the Mage Tower will not have to worry about the magic pool for a long time.
Although it is very difficult to light the sacred fire of Moldovac, human sages have long tried to follow Xi Wei's instructions and open a paradise outside the Land of Order. However, that great being failed when he was closest to success. He even failed
The construction of the four prayer towers has been completed, but the world is difficult and unpredictable. Many years after the fall of the sage, Modovac gradually faded from people's impressions and disappeared...
It was time for the descendants of the Yu Jin people to set foot on that land again. Dulan thought silently in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly thought of what the teacher said to him when he died - those words from the witches
Prophecy: [The sacred fire in the east is about to be ignited, and the descendants of the Anze people and the Yujin people will put aside their past grievances and fight side by side. Xi Wei's descendants will repeat the feats of their ancestors, and a new world will come]
Could it be that the Holy Fire in the East refers to Modovac? Duran was startled by his own thoughts. He had always been insensitive to things like witches and prophecies.
"Master Duran? Master Duran?" Simodo looked at Duran curiously and reminded him: "What should we do next?"
Duran came back from his contemplation. He thought for a while, and it was definitely not cost-effective to shrink the Shadow Tower directly, because he would not be able to open it for a long time. Since Kate and others did not enter the Shadow Maze,
The other monsters in Shadow Valley should not cause too serious harm to them.
So he decided to say: "Open the shadow thief training base."
Forty-Seven said mechanically: "Are you sure you want to open the Shadow Thief Training Base? That will result in the loss of one-tenth of the magic power in the magic pool."
"I'm very sure, but before that, I have to go to the Rune Mage Laboratory to have a look."
…
Half an hour later, Duran walked out of the Rune Mage's laboratory on the third floor with a depressed look on his face, playing with a triangular amulet in his hand. Although the trip was not fruitless, when he confirmed that he was indeed
He was still a little frustrated after not being able to establish his second profession as Rune Mage. After all, in his opinion, Rune Mage was the most suitable second profession for Assassins.
The equipment and materials in the laboratory are very rich. Unfortunately, the places where these materials are stored require special rune knowledge to open. To do this, at least a gold-level rune mage can do it, Dulan.
This kind of half-baked knowledge of runes will naturally lead to failure.
What made him even more depressed was that the certificate to change his profession as a rune mage was at his fingertips - the thick and brick-like [Legend of Runes] left by Raven Gold was the only one Duran had in the laboratory.
It's something that can be used at will. Unfortunately, due to the rules set by Ravenkin, Duran cannot rely on this book to change his profession to a rune mage.
The other thing he can use is the amulet in his hand. When Duran discovered this amulet, it was lying on the cover of [Legend of Runes]. Duran estimated that it was probably Rui Wenjin who passed down his knowledge of runes.
It was prepared by a descendant, and Du Lan, who was feeling depressed, naturally took it away for his own use without hesitation.
The properties of this amulet are average, but it comes with a powerful rune called [Raven]——
[Crow]: When you are hit by a fatal attack, your body will turn into a flock of crows and fly away, and finally gather and be reborn at a distance of no more than a hundred feet. This rune is passive and can be used 3 times in total.
…
After embezzling the Crow Amulet, Duran did not stay here and immediately took Simodo to the second floor, where Forty-Seven had already opened a shadow thief training base for Duran.
