Standing on the green lawn, Heath looked up at the ancient tower in front of him. This is a standard Gothic tower building built with large blue-gray stones. It consists of a main tower and several auxiliary towers.
It has four floors at the top, which is quite majestic in this land where adobe buildings are still common.
However, at the top of the tower, there were signs of being burned by fire.
Because...
"Fire? You mean there was a fire here?" Magra frowned and asked Archmaester Bol in front of him.
Bol said: "Yes, it happened the night before yesterday."
Magla frowned tightly: "Did it really happen in the room where my people are?"
Bordao: "Yes, they live on the top floor."
Magla asked with an ugly face: "Then they are now..."
Bol said: "I'm sorry."
Contrary to expectations, just the night before Heath and the others arrived at the learning tower, a fire broke out unexpectedly in the learning tower. What was even more bizarre was that the fire occurred in the room where Magra's men were, and it was incredible that there was not a single survivor left.
Down.
There is a conspiracy!
This was the first reaction of Heath and Magla. After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? They started burning just as they were about to arrive at the learning tower, and burned all the people who knew about it. Even if the learning tower did not rescue them in time, how could one
No one can escape alive?
With this subjective judgment in mind, Heath began to investigate the fire scene, trying to restore the truth of the matter. After some careful inspections, Heath finally made a shocking discovery...
It’s really just an ordinary fire!
Yes, judging from the traces left at the scene, the people in Magra used fire at night and did not pay attention, causing the candlestick to ignite the curtains and then ignite the bookshelf and books in the room. The people inside tried to escape after failing to put out the fire, but they locked their heads.
It had been in disrepair for a long time and was damaged by the fire and could not be opened, which ultimately led to the tragedy...
Except that it was too much of a coincidence, there was really nothing special about this fire. He had previously speculated that it was 'deliberately created by the school tower to cover up some truth', 'arranged by other insiders of the ruins' or even 'deliberate backstabbing by Magra'
Wait, none of them exist.
'Is it really a wizard's curse?'
Standing among the charred ruins, Heath frowned in thought.
According to Academician Boer of the Learning Tower, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. Once a scholar comes into contact with something related to the hedge ruins, unfortunate things will happen. He will smash his head, fall down the stairs, and inexplicably.
Injured or even killed, etc.
It is said that the father of the catgirl sisters in Deepwater Port suddenly fell ill and died after reading some information about the Hedge ruins.
Over time, the scholars of the Learning Tower attributed this to the 'Wizard's Curse', saying that the wizard who once lived in the Ledge Relics placed a curse on the Ledge Relics. Anyone who studies it will encounter misfortune. This has been made public in the Learning Tower.
Even when the people from Magra came to the study tower, the scholars of the study tower had already had a premonition that today would happen.
This is also the reason why no scholar has unlocked the secret of the Lvli ruins over the years.
"Sir, can you...can you tell what kind of magic this is?" Magla asked with a frown.
Heath frowned.
What do you think? The scene is just some charred wood, and there are no signs of fighting. I don’t even know if it was caused by magic. If you can see this, it means there is a ghost...
But if it weren't for magic, Heath really couldn't find any other explanation for so many coincidences... And in the unfathomable field of magic, there are indeed some spells that can achieve such effects, such as fate, curses, etc.
etc... There is related magic and knowledge even during the apprenticeship...
Not to mention, isn't this Magra a typical example? Heath has not forgotten the circumstances under which the two met. If he hadn't met him by chance, he would have been fed by bandits to wild beasts in the forest.
Bar…
'If it were the sixth rune that was condensed, I could try using the ability unique to the sixth rune, but now...'
After hesitating for a moment, Heath said: "Let's end this matter now."
If there is magic involved, it is definitely medium or high-level magic. At least according to Heath's knowledge, a curse with such ability is no longer something that apprentices can cast. Even ordinary low-level wizards may not be able to cast it.
Ability to do it.
This level has far exceeded the limit of what he can handle. No matter how curious he is, there is no reason to die in vain, right?
'Go back and ask Shuhaizhihui, maybe you will know something over there?'
'after all...'
'When it comes to wizards of this level... it's not a trivial matter...'
Unwilling to give up, Magla searched the room again, trying to find something valuable, even a manuscript.
It is a pity that all the paper materials, including the notebook containing the "hidden text", were burned in the fire. In the end, Magla only found a few biographies from the ruins. I hope
Si took it and looked through it, and it was an introduction to some of the great nobles and families in Brittany.
The clue ends here.
...
Heath stayed in the learning tower for a month, and a month later, he returned to a road in the Gray Woodland.
"Da da da da..."
"诱辱辱辘..."
The sound of horse hooves and the turning of wheels sounded, and a convoy of three carriages advanced slowly on the dirt road.
When compared, Heath's group had an extra carriage. The extra carriage was a gift from the tower scholar, and it was filled with a carriage full of books.
This was also the main reason why Heath stayed in the learning tower for a whole month.
Although no clues about the remains of the hedge were found, he unexpectedly found many books that he was interested in while studying in Tarsis, such as "General History of Brittany", "Geographic Guide to Greywood", "On the Relationship between Nobles" and so on.
Astronomy, geography, history, production, war, etc., as the largest and only centralized knowledge center in Brittany, the knowledge materials collected in the learning tower cover almost everything in this land, which is extremely important for knowledge.
Once the interested Heath got stuck in, he couldn't get out at all.
In addition, there is another point that attracts Heath...
"Dip, the extraction is successful and knowledge is gained: the advantages and disadvantages of topography and landforms on war."
"Drip, draw successfully, gain knowledge: Breton national custom."
"Dip, the extraction was successful, knowledge gained:..."
The extraction is greatly affected by the extracted object. If you draw apprentices, you can often draw spiritual power or magic-related things. If you draw knights, you can draw swordsmanship. If you draw hunters, you can draw things related to hunting. Here, these scholars always have
It is possible to extract all kinds of valuable knowledge.
You know, a lot of this knowledge is the result of scholars who have spent decades and devoted their lives to it. Now, all of it has become Heath's heritage. This feeling is really...
Heath felt that although he didn't find the treasure, the trip was not a loss at all!
"Have you thought of any clues, sir?" In the carriage, Magla's question interrupted Heath's train of thought.
Heath pulled back from her thoughts of running away.
He shook his head: "I was just thinking about some magic issues."
After a pause, he said with some boredom: "And I have already answered you. I am not going to explore this ruins anymore for the time being. You should understand what I mean by this point, right?"
Magra still refused to give up. He had come to Heath more than once in the past few days to discuss the follow-up content of the ruins. Even though Heath had made it clear that he was withdrawing and even handed him the clue codex, he was still being pestered.
.
The old god Magra smiled and said: "Hahaha, Lord Wizard, why give up so easily even if it is just a small difficulty? I have encountered many similar difficulties over the years, but in the end I was not able to overcome them one by one, and
I have found out the information about the ruins. If there is really such a curse, shouldn't I have died long ago? Man can conquer nature, and if we persevere, we will definitely gain something!"
There was something wrong with me when I fell to the ground. What relics did I bother to find?
Heath was speechless.
He said: "Effort is of course important, but direction is also important. Even if you try your best to sail against the current, you may be able to do it, but what if what appears in front of you is no longer a river but a waterfall? Moreover, even if you find the ruins...
.”
After a pause, he said bluntly: "I also told you, there is nothing in it that you want to find."
Magla still said: "What if?"
Good guy…
Are you still obsessed with it?
Heath wasn't talking.
Magla turned and looked out the car window, looking at the withered tree trunk. After the cold winter, the buds were faintly seen on the dead tree.
He looked at the bud without blinking and suddenly said: "As you said to me, there are still too many unsolved mysteries in this world. Even wizards don't know everything.
Why is it impossible for a waterfall to flow upstream? Don't you think so?"
