"I can't explain in a few words." Wilder smiled mysteriously:
"But this is the gift I want to give you as a thank you."
"Please come with me...it will only take up an hour of your time."
Having said this, Colin hesitated for a moment, but still followed Wilder's pace.
To be honest, he was indeed a little curious as to why the Kingdom of Yili was able to recruit two worshiping wizards.
After passing through the corridor, the two got into the carriage.
Ten minutes later, the lavishly decorated carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
Colin stepped out of the car, and a luxurious palace appeared in front of him.
"This is where the two wizards Ivan and Anthony originally lived." Wilder explained as he led him inside.
Not long after, the two came to a low, old gray building deep inside the palace.
With narrow windows, semicircular arches, and a low dome, this is a typical tower building.
The mottled outer wall is covered with green ivy, and in the open space in front of it, a few white roses are swaying in the wind.
There was no one on duty here, so Wilder took the initiative to open the iron-clad wooden door for Colin.
The two walked in side by side, with Hayden guarding the door.
To Colin's surprise, the inside of the tower was not dark. The huge tallow candles on both sides were emitting bright light and illuminating the surroundings.
Use the light to look around you.
A soft and elegant gray velvet carpet was laid in the center, occupying almost two-thirds of the area, and a surrounding obsidian-like interior wall was flickering slightly under the light of candles.
Apart from these, there is nothing else.
No... there's a loft.
Colin looked towards the spiral staircase built against the curved interior wall.
"The second floor is just a lounge." Wilder explained promptly.
Colin looked back.
"To save your time, I'll keep it short."
"This place is called the Tower of Life. Since the founding of the Yili royal family, almost all members of the royal family have a life span of at least eighty years, except for those who encounter accidents.
Half of them are over a hundred years old, and the reason is because of this Tower of Life."
Colin nodded slightly.
Although there are not many great knights in this world, he is there because of the gold paper, while many other great knights are transformed by the lives of wizards.
There are very few great knights who truly break through on their own.
Generally speaking, only the great knights who have a natural breakthrough can have a life span of nearly 150 years. Most of the other great knights who have undergone life transformation have a life span of far less than 150 years.
Some are even less than a century old.
Therefore, for ordinary people, living to be a hundred years old is already a very long life.
"Sir Colin, please concentrate and feel it." Wilder reminded again.
Colin obeyed and closed his eyes slightly, feeling carefully.
In an instant, the sound of the butter candle burning, the friction of Wilder's clothes, the scent of roses brought by the wind through the narrow window...all came to mind.
As he concentrated his mind, a strange aura suddenly appeared.
The breath is as ethereal as the morning mist, and as regular as the tide on the seaside, but most importantly, it is full of vitality like the buds and branches of spring.
It seems that Colin has been observed to have felt it.
Wilder said: "The Tower of Life is just an ordinary tower. What makes it special is the unique breath of life here."
Colin opened his eyes.
Wilder handed Colin the cowhide scroll he had prepared earlier.
"This is an unknown knight's breathing method that was discovered by the ancestors of the Yili royal family when they discovered this place."
"Although the Tower of Life has the effect of extending life, it is not very strong. If ordinary people live here for a long time, under subtle influence, they can only increase their life span by two or three years at most."
"But if you practice this nameless breathing method at the same time, most ordinary people can live to be a hundred years old even if they don't become a great knight!"
Colin was reading and listening to Wilder's story.
Although Wilder's words were tempting, he understood that it was not just the body that limited life span, but also the soul.
Between the two, the soul has higher priority.
If his soul was strong enough, he could live for at least two hundred years with his current life strength.
Simply increasing his life strength is of no use to him.
But if wizards can be left here, it may also benefit the soul...
Colin was amazed.
At this time, Wilder smiled and added: "Of course, this is the effect on ordinary people... As for wizards, I heard Master Ivan say that if you come here to practice the nameless breathing method for a long time... it should be
It can extend your life span by two to three years.”
Two to three years...
It doesn't sound like much, but if the day of death really comes, just extending one's life by one day will make people crazy!
But this is a bit too tasteless for him now.
After all, if you want to extend your life, you must not only learn breathing techniques, but also persist for a long time...
Seemingly seeing his doubts, Wilder added again:
"Sir Colin, I am not trying to amuse you. If you want to get the effect of extending your life in the Tower of Life, there is a quick way."
He took out another translucent stone from his arms, its smooth surface shining in the light of the tallow candle.
A trace of physical pain flashed in Wilder's eyes.
"This is the life seed left by the ancestors of the royal family who relied on the nameless breathing method to break through and become great knights.
You can rely on it to temporarily possess the ability to absorb the nameless breathing method, and the first time you practice it in the Tower of Life, the effect is the best."
"If practicing here for a lifetime can increase your life span by ten years, then the life span extended by practicing for the first time will account for at least two to three years."
This is actually the seed of life...
Colin reached out and took the translucent life seed handed over by Wilder. He put it in his hand and looked at it carefully before he discovered——
The texture of the Seed of Life is more like a less transparent crystal, and the shape is not irregular...the whole is a rhombus, and its appearance is like a diamond from a previous life with countless facets.
Neither the original owner nor the current one knew much about knights.
So... I don't know if this breathing method is special, or if other knight breathing methods will produce such a "stone" in the body after breaking through the Great Knight.
But at least the solar breathing method he practiced did not have such a substantial "seed of life".
"Thank you, Your Majesty Wilder." Colin said, paused and asked, "How should I use this life seed?"
Although based on the initial effect of about 30%, his life span this time will be extended by only one year at most... But who would think that his life span is too long?
"Just put it on your chest and concentrate," Wilder replied.
Colin nodded, walked to the middle of the carpet and sat down. According to Wilder's instructions, he placed the translucent life seed in his hand on his chest, and then closed his eyes slightly.
Perhaps it was because the wizard was mentally strong, but just for a moment, he felt the life seeds in his chest heat up slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to turn into a black hole, and an invisible vortex was formed on the first floor of the tower with him as the center.
Just like that, about half an hour passed.
Colin slowly opened his eyes and felt refreshed.
Looking down again, I saw that the translucent life seeds in my hands had now turned into powder.
Subconsciously open the gold paper.
"Sir Colin, how do you feel?" Wilder, who had been waiting for a long time, asked with a smile.
"It's okay." Colin replied, but his attention was not on Wilder.
Light golden particles gathered, and translucent gold paper appeared in front of him.
Sweep carefully from top to bottom.
In the Knight Breathing Technique column, a new line of characters slowly appeared - [Unnamed Breathing Technique (36/100)]
Colin was not surprised. After all, when using the Life Seed, he was running the Nameless Breathing Technique, which was equivalent to practicing the Nameless Breathing Technique. It was normal for it to be recorded on gold paper now.
It's just that the progress is more than he expected.
With a thought in his mind, Colin changed its name to [Yili Breathing Method (36/100)] and put away the gold paper.
He didn't pay much attention to the breathing method, after all, it was just a breathing method specially used to extend life in the Tower of Life.
But for the sake of collecting knowledge.
He still carefully memorized the breathing method on the cowhide scroll in his mind before returning the brown scroll to Wilder.
After doing this, the two of them walked outside side by side.
"Sir Colin, I wonder if you have any other plans besides going to the Holy Flame Kingdom?"
On the way, Wilder asked casually.
"We'll think about the next plan after we get to the Holy Flame Kingdom." Colin smiled and did not reveal any more information.
Wilder nodded and said: "Your Excellency is welcome to come again in the future... The Kingdom of Yili will always welcome your arrival."
Then he changed the subject and said:
"The effect of using the Tower of Life this time is only about 30%. If you have the opportunity to come to the Kingdom of Yili again, you are welcome to come to the Tower of Life again... If you are willing, you can also live in the Kingdom of Yili for a long time."
"What I mean is, maybe you can consider becoming the new consecrated wizard of the Yili Kingdom." Wilder said straight to the point.
In fact, besides being grateful, he was willing to bring Colin to the Tower of Life because of another consideration.
The original wizard enshrined in the Yili Kingdom has died, so naturally it is necessary to find a new wizard to enshrine.
And since we are looking for a new wizard, given the current situation, no one is more suitable than Colin.
Colin smiled slightly and refused:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Wilder, I'm used to being a free person, and I don't want to become a worshiped wizard."
He had already anticipated Wilder's request.
Although the life-extending effect of the Tower of Life is good, except for the first time, subsequent life-extending exercises require frequent practice, and it is even better to practice once a day...the cost is too high.
In the end, the life extension time is only two years at most...the price/performance ratio is really not high.
Only wizards like Anthony who have given up hope for the future would choose to come here to retire.
In addition, I am afraid that the Tower of Life has other restrictions that he has not been told.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Iri would not have been able to maintain the Tower of Life for so long.
Wilder wanted to persuade him a few more words, but he looked up and saw Colin's serious expression, and finally sighed secretly in his heart and chose to give up.
"Sir Colin, then I will not disturb you anymore. I will inform you again when the airship arrives tomorrow."
After walking out of the palace, Wilder and Colin said goodbye.
"Okay." Colin nodded, turned around and got into another carriage, returning to Yingbin Manor.
………………
The next day.
Yingbin Manor Bungalow.
About ten o'clock in the morning.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Rhythmic knocking sounded.
Renee, who was resting downstairs, got up and opened the door.
"Your Majesty the King."
"Hello." Wilder smiled and said, "Is Mr. Colin here?"
"Your Majesty Wilder."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound from the stairs.
Colin was walking down slowly. He looked at Wilder and asked, "Is the airship coming?"
"Yes, Sir Colin." Wilder smiled and nodded.
He is in a very good mood now.
After Colin solved the monster in the theater, there were no more deaths in Chanuka City last night.
This strange incident has indeed been successfully solved!
The elimination of his major worries even made him no longer regret Colin's departure.
So as soon as the airship arrived today, he rushed over in person to say goodbye to Colin.
"That's great." When Colin heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was actually a little anxious after hearing about the current situation of the Holy Flame Kingdom.
If the Holy Flame Kingdom is defeated, let alone the fate of the Holy Flame Royal Family.
But he undoubtedly needs to spend more time on this.
"Without further ado, let's leave now." Colin urged.
Wilder naturally had no objection.
Walk out of the bungalow and walk on the outdoor promenade.
Without Wilder's introduction, Colin saw the airship in the sky at a glance.
The gray-black armor shell and streamlined body, just floating quietly in the air, are enough to shock people.
But in fact, the airship is not big, only slightly larger than his Petrel.
However, because it was flying at a very low altitude at this moment, it still looked powerful.
After all, there are many huge things on land, not to mention on the ocean... But this is not the case in the sky, where huge things are relatively rare.
The carriage ride didn't take long.
Colin and his party arrived at the Palace Square.
At this time, the airship has been parked in the center.
A group of knights were carrying supplies from several huge carriages next to them one by one into a huge cabin that opened on the vertical side of the airship.
Next to him, a middle-aged wizard wearing a white robe was supervising the work.
"Sir, this is the wizard I told you about who wants to take the airship." Wilder stepped forward and introduced.
"Okay." The middle-aged wizard in white robes replied gently, his smile making his already approachable face become more approachable.
"Excuse me, where are you going?" He turned to Colin and asked.
"Kingdom of Holy Flame." Colin answered briefly.
The white-robed wizard pondered for a moment and said, "I'll charge you a total of 200 magic stones. What do you think?"
200 magic stones... a bit expensive.
But it’s not as expensive as time.
Colin nodded without hesitation: "No problem."
"Well, the supplies have almost been replenished. If you have nothing else to do, you can follow me into the airship and prepare to set off."
The white-robed wizard said again.
"Okay." Colin nodded.
Then after bidding farewell to Wilder who was standing aside, he followed the white-robed wizard into the airship.
"arrive."
After a while, through the narrow passage, the white-robed wizard took them to a narrow cabin.
"If you have nothing special to do, please stay in the cabin as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"The royal capital of the Holy Flame Kingdom, Lane, will arrive at around three o'clock in the afternoon."
Colin nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although it took a short time to come up, according to observations, this ship is probably not a so-called merchant ship.
Although the cabin he was in was narrow, it was also equipped with a separate bathroom, and there was nothing missing except for the lack of windows.
Unless something unexpected happens, he will not step out of the cabin until he arrives at the Holy Flame King, King Durian.
Fulfilling his promise to Erica was just around the corner, and he didn't want to cause any further complications.
