Through a series of paintings, games and short videos in his previous life, Lawrence has seen a lot of the magic towers imagined in ordinary people's minds. At the same time, his previous adventure in the haunted coal mine also allowed him to see the magic towers in this world. Only
But when he walked into a regular magic tower that was in operation today, he realized that the real magic tower was far beyond his imagination.
At least compared to the imagination of people in previous lives and the temporarily dug magic tower they encountered before, the internal area of the magic tower belonging to the Huguang City Magic Association exceeds Lawrence's imagination. The tower itself has already appeared from the outside.
It was very huge, but when he stood in the lobby on the first floor of the tower, he found that the space inside was larger than it looked from the outside.
"Is it possible to use space expansion magic in a place like this? It's really too extravagant." Lawrence muttered in a low voice. In front of him was a space larger than the small square at the entrance of Far Harbor University. Located in this area
In the middle of the space is an extremely eye-catching fountain.
In the circular pool of the fountain stands a group of pure gold statues, which are larger than life. Standing in the center is a middle-aged mage wearing a black robe and holding aloft a crystal wand inlaid with others.
Surrounding him were female warriors wearing heavy armor, a dwarf holding an ax in both hands, an elf carrying a bow and arrow on his back, a dwarf sitting on the shoulders of a machine puppet, and a centaur druid wearing deerskin.
Like the middle-aged mage, they stared in a certain direction as vigilantly, as if they were ready to fight at any time. And streams of shining water jets spurted out from the shining water jets on their weapons, stirring up the pool below.
There was a pleasant tinkling sound. At the same time, some palm-sized blue crystal fragments slowly rotated around these sculptures like planets orbiting stars.
There are a large number of people coming and going on the entire first floor of the Magic Tower. Most of these people are staff here, and most of them are spell casters. In addition, there are also many people who come here to do business and who have passed the assessment to study.
Here they can learn magic, do magic experiments or accept various tasks.
Following the instructions of the staff at the entrance just now, Lawrence walked around the pool and walked straight forward until he reached the place against the wall of the hall.
What appeared in front of him at this time were niches on the walls. Each of these niches was as tall as a person, and inside each one was a crystal as tall as a person, filling the niche completely.
Some of the crystals already have users in front of them, and there is a transparent barrier around them that separates them from the outside world. Through this barrier, you can see these people pressing their hands on the crystals, closing their eyes, and their lips are constantly moving, as if
He was communicating with the crystal. Seeing this, Lawrence also walked to an empty crystal and stretched out his hand to touch the crystal.
"Hello, visitor. Is there anything I can do to help you?" When Lawrence's hands first touched the crystal, a barrier lowered from the ceiling to separate it from the surrounding environment, and then a ethereal female voice suddenly came from all directions.
There came a sound that was a bit like the electronic voice in a machine. He knew that this was the magic tower spirit.
"I need to redeem my training for the black iron level competition champion of the New World." Lawrence first expressed his admiration for the powerful artificial intelligence in this magical world, and then calmed down and stated his request.
"Training for the champions of the Black Iron Level Competition in the New World Competition, searching... has been found." After just waiting for a second or two, Ta Ling replied. "Please take your card with you and go to the Magic from the second staircase on the east side.
Go to the second floor of the main tower, and then follow the signs to the training center."
After figuring out how to act, Lawrence let go of the crystal with both hands. After the surrounding barrier disappeared, he directly followed the path the tower spirit told him just now and came to a corridor on the second floor of the magic tower.
Fortunately, the various signs in the Magic Tower were very obvious. Following the instructions of these road signs, Lawrence quickly came to a door at the end of the corridor. This door was made of metal and had extremely complex magic on it.
Pattern. Ryan could feel that the door itself was a powerful alchemy product. In terms of anti-theft level, only the door to the treasure house hidden beneath the St. Gutenberg Cathedral could compare with it.
There are two guards at the door of this metal gate who are wearing heavy armor and carrying magic-breaking weapons. They are guarding the door with long shields and long-handled knives. In this small environment, these warriors with superior defense are obviously better than the spell casters.
They have some advantages.
Based on the information he just received, Lawrence took out his card and stuffed it into a groove on the door. Soon the pattern on the door came to life, and after a low metal buzz, the heavy door opened.
"Welcome, Mr. Lawrence August." A dark blue gas puppet that looked like a book charm floated over and said in a tone with a metallic vibrato. Obviously, in Lawrence
The Qi element in the room when the card was swiped came back and already knew his identity.
"Is this a place for professional training?" Lawrence looked at the space in front of him with a puzzled look. According to his idea, this was either an office responsible for arranging his next training goals, or a large-scale training facility.
The base is not an empty house the size of a basketball court like it is now, but an oval transparent crystal egg about the height of a person is placed diagonally in the center of this space.
"Yes, of course this is a place for spell caster training." The gas puppet emitting blue light said angrily, "Of course, because the most advanced magic technology is used here, it is somewhat different from previous training -
—”
Through the explanation of this gas puppet, Lawrence finally understood what it was. To put it bluntly, the so-called new professional training method was the result of a less successful experiment by the local magic association.
Five years ago, a mage who studied the soul carefully proposed a quick learning method. That is to develop a special method based on the memory infusion spells of some extraordinary people, and use various extraordinary methods to build a virtual world for people to learn quickly.
The human soul plugs into it to learn.
After five years of research and experiments, with the joint efforts of the Mages Association, the Church of Knowledge, the Church of the Suffering God and the federal government, they successfully created such a magic machine. Unfortunately, after the machine was built, everyone discovered that
Such a thing doesn't have much practical value.
On the one hand, the cost of this machine is too expensive, both in terms of its own cost and the cost of use. Not to mention that the core of this thing uses one of the most advanced collections of the Magic Association: the legendary Mind Flayer brain.
Also used as raw materials are the containers containing this dangerous item obtained by the Church of the Passion God through a large-scale sacrifice. Each use alone will consume various extraordinary resources worth at least 10,000 yuan. If you rely on this to cultivate
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get even a cent back.
On the other hand, after making it, I discovered that the use of such a thing cannot be used as desired: each use lasts for three days, and then needs to be cooled down for the next seven days. In addition, the most important thing is that this machine
The upper limit of human strength that the machine can train is professional level.
For two reasons, this thing ended up being like worthless food, tasteless, and a pity to throw away. In the end, in desperation, the Magic Association simply regarded this thing as a prize for young people, to reward those who were inexperienced but showed some merit.
young extraordinary beings.
After listening to the introduction, Lawrence had to admire the imagination of people in this world. Because he felt that this was very similar to the holographic game played using nutrition cabins that he had seen in novels in his previous life.
"Then I'm going to enter that crystal ball next, right?" After figuring out what was going on, Lawrence pointed to the crystal egg in the center of the room and asked the gas puppet next to him.
