Opposite of the Black Tower of the Swamp and the Jade Tower.
The tower master of the Lava Forbidden Tower does not live at the top... but at the bottom of the Wizard Tower.
——Yes, the Lava Forbidden Tower is the opposite of the other wizard towers.
After all, the energy of the Jade Tower comes from the Jade Record, while the energy of the Zedi Black Tower comes from the Immortal Holy Fire, both of which are stored on the top floor.
"Eighteen floors underground..."
After being down to earth, Husky quickly regained his energy and couldn't help but complain: "This home address sounds a little bit like the underworld."
"The underworld?"
Isaac was a little confused.
Shisanxiang, whose legs were still a little soft, explained wistfully: "That is to say, it feels a bit close to the underworld..."
"Then you are really right."
Arthur said.
“One of the core concepts of Lava Forbidden Tower is [Stepping into Hell].”
"Is it just like the [Ladder to Heaven] in our Jade Tower..."
Isaac was thoughtful.
In the Jade Tower, apprentices can gradually move up their level as they learn. As their knowledge improves, they can enter higher-level wizard towers. And this process itself is a way to gradually "purify the wizard apprentices' ascent."
"Desire" ritual.
"That's right."
Arthur nodded.
"The process of learning the magic of destruction is itself a process of gradually entering hell."
In the beginning, those apprentices who just mastered some destructive spells and had not yet become extraordinary... They were no different from wizard apprentices who learned other spells.
When reaching the Bronze level, the Destruction Wizard will begin to become essentially alienated.
Their body temperature begins to rise gradually. Once there is a break in the skin and the blood comes into contact with the air, the temperature will suddenly rise. They may even burn themselves and show scars. When they die, the hot blood in the body will completely lose control and burn out.
own body.
One of the materials for the job transfer ceremony of the "Destroyer" profession in Si Dark Carving requires that when a certain destruction wizard is about to die, a special vessel is used to extract the "blood of destruction" that heats up rapidly and out of control in their body.
To be precise, the standard for destroying wizards to judge death is not "brain death" in the traditional sense, nor is it "soul separation" on a mysterious level, but "whether the heart stops beating" - when the blood no longer
Pumped by their hearts, when it stops flowing.
The "scorching blood" that originally had a relatively high temperature and would heat up further after encountering the air... as long as it stopped flowing, it would quickly transform into "blood of destruction" that could incinerate or even detonate their corpses.
This blood of destruction, even if it is not used in rituals, can be refined into an "explosive liquid".
And if you use the blood of destruction as a material, refine it into venom, and then quench the poison on the dagger, you can get the [Venom] series of standard spells.
[Venom - deepening of pain], [Venom - heart failure], [Venom - hyperthermic plasma], etc. These are the secret techniques of the Zhuoya family.
——The materials used to make [Venom] are naturally their classmates and colleagues who died accidentally.
"On the road of destruction, the deeper you advance, the further you will deviate from the world."
Arthur was silent for a while and said softly: "For example... I used to be."
In order to maintain the detached status of the wizard of destruction as a "mediator".
There are many things that they cannot touch.
Small shortcomings that are not worth mentioning to other extraordinary beings are a stain that can be ruined by destruction wizards. It can be said that their lives are not even as carefree as some ordinary people.
And as they "mediate" the incidents gradually increase.
Their humanity will gradually fade.
At the beginning, they may be filled with righteous indignation and have a "fire of justice" ignited in their hearts. But not all mediations are beneficial to both parties... and not all mediation times are right or wrong.
As their mediation ended, follow-up problems gradually came to their door; as they saw more and more injustices; as they experienced "good intentions are not rewarded" and "correct judgments cannot be judged by others."
Understand", "being suspected, questioned and jealous" and other incidents, the fire of justice in their chests will gradually be extinguished.
At that time, they will not feel the pain of "having to make a fair judgment". Instead, they will discuss the matter, use their own deterrence, and rely on their own experience and judgment to deal with everything calmly and rationally, which is quite outrageous for ordinary people.
thing.
And because destructive wizards above silver will inevitably affect innocent people when they die.
They usually also die "unhappily".
Because even if the normal death of the wizard is destroyed, it will still explode.
When they feel that they are almost ready to die, they will find a quiet place to die. They will call their relatives and friends - if they have any. If they have no relatives or even friends, then they will call
The mentor comes to witness his own death.
The so-called "witness".
In fact, through pre-arranged rituals, they suppress the activity of the blood of destruction at the moment of death and drain as much of their blood as possible.
The remaining residue of the blood of destruction can still burn their corpses, or cause a small explosion so that no bones remain... but at least it will not kill or injure ordinary people.
"Because of this, almost no destruction wizards live a long life. Since we know that we will definitely not die well in the future, when we feel that we are too tired and have no hope... we will choose to die.
"In other words, our pursuit on the path of destruction is also our pursuit of gradually [entering hell]..."
As they spoke, the elevator had already dropped to the eighteenth floor underground.
They had seen from the outside that the lowermost part of the Lava Forbidden Tower was already submerged under the lava. But surprisingly, the temperature here was not very high... but it gave people the feeling that it could only be regarded as...
warmth.
The surrounding dark red blocky walls look like pieces of scales. Like the carapace of some huge creature, or the layers of rock formations inside the cave.
They shimmered—or rather, light filtered in from the outside.
It was deep red light. The light was even "unbalanced", sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer. Those light sources were like clouds, flowing slowly.
This gives people a psychedelic feeling similar to KTV or a bar.
This place is not like the Jade Tower or the Zedi Black Tower, with a ceremonial stage or a desk.
In the deepest part of the Lava Forbidden Tower... is a deep red hot spring.
——That's not lava.
However, Annan couldn't tell for a while whether the liquid itself was crimson or whether it was turned into crimson by the monochromatic light.
And the master of the tower is in that hot spring.
He...or rather, its shape - deeply shocked Annan.
It was a device with a sense of science fiction, similar to a "brain" petri dish. It was somewhat similar to the transparent jar used by Aruba to store the heads of Aozaki Orange in Sky Realm.
There are many runes etched on the inside of the jar - many fine, dark red blood-vessel-like lines, which are spreading inside.
What does this jar store?
It's not even the head of the Lord of the Tower.
——But a brain that is white and even trembling slightly.
Annan heard it clearly.
The husky next to me... swallowed.
update completed!
Sleepy, still an update...
I'm wondering if I should update until the end of this month. There's only one day left. Let's save some manuscripts for next month...
Then wait until July 1st at 6 a.m. before replying to the double update. The 30th will be the last single day for the single update. If you can rest, rest, then save the manuscript if you can’t (grip)
