"This kind of statement makes people want to know more." Jerry suddenly joked.
It seems that his mood has calmed down a bit...or in other words, after constantly counting the number of falling meteorites, he finally felt at ease.
"Actually, Jerry, you should understand that feeling." After repeating the number of meteorites that Jerry had just reported to the recorder, the male mage also became excited, and his tone seemed to rise, "But
Kayo certainly doesn’t understand.”
"What do you mean?" the duck-voiced guy named Kayo couldn't help asking, "Why don't I understand?"
"The Tower of Despair only accepts people who become senior apprentices before the age of 16. I guess you know this, right?" the male mage asked him.
"Well, what's the problem?" Kayo didn't understand.
"Oh, in fact, which magic tower in our mainland does not have this rule?" The male mage smiled sarcastically, "The rules that everyone knows are not the real rules. You can always understand this, right?"
"Ah?" Kayo asked a little confused, "Becoming a senior apprentice at the age of 16 is not an easy thing to achieve!
My qualifications are not among the best in the family, but they are not bad either, so I was barely able to advance at the age of 16."
"Because you have been trying to ensure a stable foundation for your future since elementary school, that's why you find it so difficult." Kayo laughed again, "But for us apprentices outside, as long as the spiritual sea does not explode, as long as
If your life is not a problem, you have to fight for your life."
"But you and Jerry are both much better qualified than me." Cayo admitted without hesitation.
"But I don't have so many resources! Kayo." Jerry couldn't help but sigh.
"What are the secret rules?" Cayo couldn't help but ask, "You know I don't pay much attention to these things."
"If you want to enter the Tower of Despair, you must be among the top 20 apprentices in the ranking of the year." Jerry replied, "After the 20th place, no matter if he is not ranked for whatever reason, he will not be admitted.
Anyway, apprentices with backgrounds don’t occupy this quota, so to a certain extent, it’s actually fair.”
"Ah?" The book in Kayo's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"In your mind, the number of apprentices who enter the Tower of Despair every year is not that small, right?" the male mage asked with a smile, "Of course there are some guys with less qualifications who can get in by spending money!
But such people are not participating in the election of those 20 people at all, so we have nothing to say.
The Tower of Despair is already the last major magic tower to lower its quota to 20.
When resources are exhausted, it is the end of the world for ordinary people. It would be nice to have a way to survive. Who dares to pursue so much?"
"Oh..." Kayo picked up the notebook a little uneasily, "Then why do you hate him? Well... isn't it easier for people like me to hate you?"
"Why are you so stupid?" Jerry sneered, "We want to enter the magic tower like crazy. Our ultimate dream is to be able to protect the family like your grandfather!
Not to mention anything else, just by entering the Tower of Despair, you can move your parents and relatives to the Town of Despair, who would hate the existence that protects you for something that is almost universally recognized?"
"The reason why I hate him is very simple." The male mage took the topic away... probably because he felt that Kayo would not understand their grassroots thoughts at all, "I was always at the bottom of the top 20 back then, and often fell into the 20th.
, but it’s much better than the latter ones, so it’s pretty stable.”
Jerry suddenly interjected: "To be honest, the first and twentieth are not ordinary people."
The male mage couldn't help but sigh: "That guy was originally ranked in the 20s, but suddenly he went crazy. He almost shattered the spiritual sea and rushed to 21st. He obviously wanted to catch up with me.
You should understand, right?
I was actually quite sure that the gap between me and the guy behind me would definitely not be narrowed within a year and a half.
But he is so crazy, what can I do?
What if he surpasses me before he shatters the spiritual sea?
So I can only work hard.
That year, I was really driven crazy.
You always say that I have strong endurance, ha~ it was all forced by him.
Fortunately, I won in the end."
"Then..." Kayo asked hesitantly, "So, you were depressed for so long after entering the tower? Is it just to make up for the early shock of the spiritual sea?"
"Yes. But anyway, the Magic Tower has long been accustomed to this kind of thing." The male mage suddenly laughed sarcastically, "Besides, this is not a bad thing for those great mages.
Although the apprentices cannot become a usable combat force immediately, they can give you, the internally promoted children, an absolute advantage during the same period.
Although there will always be stronger people appearing, basically...even the top few who seem to have no pressure all the time will have to rest for at least half a year after entering the magic tower!"
Cayo has no objections to this point: "Even without this and with such a huge gap in resources, you wouldn't have much chance.
And those who can overcome the huge pit of resources and come to the front of us also have the qualifications."
"So even though you make people jealous, no one hates you." Jerry smiled sadly, "We are both lucky. You are the team leader."
"How long are we going to stay here?" Kayo may have been a little embarrassed... In such a terrible world, this is really the greatest compliment to a character, "We have almost counted it, haven't we?"
Judging from his willingness to listen to other people's suggestions, this Kayo is indeed worthy of that kind of praise.
"We can't go back too early." Jerry stopped him immediately. "Although no one dares to spy on our situation because of the teacher's relationship, if we go out too early, it proves that we must be very satisfied with the results.
It will cause trouble."
Kayo said "Oh", and then laughed a little happily: "My luck is really good this time. The teacher's harvest last time was only half of this time!"
Hill couldn't help but click his fingers after hearing this: Isn't it because of him?
Although he didn't do anything, the meteors, which were mainly made of earth-based materials, could easily fall with him.
Jerry on the ground probably didn't want to test Kayo's patience, so he asked the male mage again: "Did those 21 people go to the Tower of Black Mystery later?"
"Yes." The male mage couldn't help but smile, "He's 21! The Black Mystery Tower has been a bit unlucky over the years. It summoned meteorites several times without any good results. It just happened that there weren't many people there, so it seems
I gave him a big benefit and he went."
"Why?" Kayo didn't understand, "Wouldn't going to the Tower of Black Mystery mean giving up the future?
Um?
Are you saying that his mental state has been so shaken that he has no chance at all, so he simply sacrificed his life for his family?"
Hill understood the meaning of their words as soon as he heard it: Although the world of mages is cruel, they will never expel his family who have moved to a town affiliated with the Magic Tower just because a mage dies.
So even if your life is not good enough, at least you won't starve to death.
"Actually, he and I are just a little bit different." The male mage's voice was a little confused, "So, although I hate him, after all, I have to fight hard because of him.
But I don't hate him.
But if he really dies, I won’t seem to have any fluctuations.”
"At this time, who cares whether the people they just know are dead or alive?" Jerry said calmly, "What's more, you are still the winner after all, so he hates you."
"What's his name?" Kayo asked curiously, "The Tower of Black Mystery has been trying to get involved with us recently. I should be able to get some news."
"It would be best if he knew." Jerry added, "The shock to the spiritual sea does not mean that it is broken. It is just that it is difficult for him to advance to the level of Archmage. It is not that he cannot even be a Mage.
If he is desperate and wants to leave some resources for his family to survive... it is not impossible for him to sneak attack you."
"Gilbert Chatel Heisenauer."
"Hmm? Born into a noble family?"
"The nobles who lost their territory seemed to have been robbed by some magic tower because the land resources were good and they could still grow black taro." The male mage sympathized a little, "So he had to fight hard, otherwise if he didn't have the magic tower to harvest him,
The fate of the family is probably not going to be too good.
After all, doesn't the Magic Tower have a covenant... You can legally buy the land of nobles, but you can't kill them.
However, it is hard to say whether they will encounter any robbers after they leave.
So, I can't hate him.
It’s all for your loved ones!”
"There is no mage in their family?" Kayo was a little confused, "Then they probably disappeared a hundred years ago, right?"
"Yes, the Sixth Ring Mage of the Defense Tower seems to be...you know."
"Oh~~" Cayo sighed longly, "The worst tower has only two eight rings missing.
Speaking of which, how did they offend the Tower of Theia?"
"Then who knows?" Jerry said in a warning tone, "Don't try to study it. Isn't the reason why several towers in the back were unlucky because of excessive curiosity?"
"I definitely won't, I would cherish my life the most!" Cayo replied quickly.
"Speaking of which, the location of the Tower of Black Mystery is actually quite close to the Tower of Sea." The male mage still couldn't forget his past competitors, "Maybe they have a chance to be merged!
After all, they also offered sacrifices to the goddess Bisozeya, and the Tower of Siya is the most favored place by the goddess!
I remember they collected a magic tower in a similar condition before, right?"
"Then who knows?" Kayo replied nonchalantly, "Then it depends on the fate of the Black Mystery Tower!
The Lord of Sea Tower has been in seclusion all year round, and no one can make decisions except her."
Hill turned his head slightly. He never knew where to start, but he seemed to have a little inspiration.
Since luck cares about him so much, then treat him better!
