The Mage Tower, also known as The Ivory Tower by civilians, is, needless to say, a holy place for magicians.
In the past, when the church burned magicians at will in the name of "heresy", the magicians regarded this place as their last fortress, using countless illusions to hide it, and using space distortion to transform the entire tower from one place to another.
Move to another location and use defensive circles to reinforce the tower's outer walls until they are almost indestructible.
In short, all means that can be used to defend this [homeland] have been used, so that today, more than two thousand years later, this white tower is still standing, and it habitually changes its scenery automatically every year.
Oh, did I say it "stands tall"? This is actually not correct. If "stands tall" only corresponds to the buildings built by ordinary people on the ground, then we cannot use it to describe this tall building.
tower.
Because the entire tower, together with its foundation, has long been affected by a permanent levitating magic and floats in the air one kilometer above the ground. It comes with a set of lush green sky gardens, as well as semi-permanent, only for popular
The floating stone staircase opened by visitors. Unless they master extremely high-level teleportation spells, no one can penetrate the powerful protective barrier of the Mage Tower and forcibly enter this sanctuary of mages.

Ten minutes later, the cavalry landed in the sky courtyard of the Archmage's Tower.
After the Archmage Merlin left Arthur's contact information, this was also the first time the knight came to this place. In order to appear cool in front of the servant, he deliberately remained calm and let Bedivere make all the exclamations for him.
"Oh, are you here?" Archmage Merlin was already waiting for Arthur and the others in the courtyard. He was wearing a dark gray velvet robe. The material of the simple robe was unexpectedly exquisite, and the gray-white halo of the velvet set off the
Merlin's silver hair and white skin made the mage look like a ghost.
The purified and crystallized light stones (magic crystals) are scattered throughout the courtyard, emitting incredible excess light, contrasting with the emerald-like light of the luminous plants. But these beautiful views are just a drop in the bucket of the beauty of the courtyard.
Bedivere was dizzy due to motion sickness, and at the same time, he was even more dizzy by the magical scene in front of him. He almost vomited again. But the werewolf boy tried his best to endure it. He was reluctant to vomit in such a beautiful place because he was afraid of himself.
It will defile this sacred place.
"Arthur, I think I can't survive." The werewolf boy felt that his legs were weak and he was about to faint. It turned out that holding back vomiting would hurt his body even more.
"Oh, don't faint yet!" Merlin appeared out of thin air behind the orc boy, supported the boy with his body, and covered the boy's ears with his hands.
After a buzzing sound, Bedivere's dizziness suddenly disappeared, and the nausea of motion sickness was also gone.
Bedivere's blue eyes widened in disbelief: "What's going on? I feel better?"
"Orcs get motion sickness because of the multiple spiral structures in the inner ear," the mage explained, tapping the werewolf boy's furry ears with his fingers: "It was originally designed to improve hearing acuity, but because the structure is too complex, it
The left and right sides cannot grow completely symmetrically. ------It doesn't matter, just a little adjustment will be enough."
The werewolf boy was shocked: "Wait a minute, you used magic to transform my body?!"
"Yes. What's wrong?" Master Merlin looked disapproving, "This is a beneficial and harmless transformation, isn't it good? Then change back?"
"Don't forget to ride on the cavalry on the way back." Arthur added coldly.
"But, but..." Bedivere felt uneasy that his body had been modified so casually.
"I promise there will be no side effects." The mage said, his calm tone full of confidence, "This is much easier than restoring the shattered bones all over your body. At that time, I had to put your broken bones back together piece by piece.
In the end, I couldn’t find the missing pair of ribs, so I had to use pork ribs to make up for the loss------"
"Ah?!" Bedivere subconsciously touched his chest.
"Hahahahaha, this kid is so cute, I can believe this joke!"
The werewolf boy Bedivere knew he was being teased, and his face turned red with shame.
"Merlin, the joke is a bit too much." Arthur shook his head and turned to the werewolf boy: "Also, Bedivere, did you forget to say something? You can walk on your own now because of the help of
Whose blessing?"
"Thank you..." the werewolf boy said in a low voice, still blushing.
"Well, good boy." The mage played with the werewolf boy's ears, "But, Arthur, you shouldn't be here just to let the child thank me this time, right? What are your plans?"
"There are a lot of people here. Let's talk in your research room." Arthur said.
"No, we're already here." As soon as Merlin finished speaking, the scenery around the three of them had changed. In an instant, the sky courtyard had turned into a dark, ancient room with mountains of books.
"I see. The wall of the world?" Merlin replied calmly, turning a certain scroll in his hand: "Indeed, I have tried to go to the other side of the wall, but there is a force on the other side of the wall.
It keeps pushing me back. That force is full of evil and filthy atmosphere. I think your opinion is right. The wall of the world should not be opened."
"I don't think the ancients built such exaggerated walls just for fun. They must have their reasons for doing so." Arthur analyzed, "But, is there really no compromise? Can Hungary
People's lives will no longer be disturbed by the shadow of the wall of the world, and there is no need to open the wall of the world?"
"There are many ways, but there is only one way to solve it once and for all. Separate the European continent and drag it all the way to the western sea, so that the entire Underdark Area can escape from the projection area of the World Wall. In this way, the sunshine time in the Underdark Area can be extended to about ten
Hours." Merlin said.
"Are you seriously considering it?" Arthur said coldly.
"Isn't it possible? Well, large-scale changes in the earth's crust will indeed cause many people to die, but they can be allowed to evacuate in advance. Well, it is inevitable that all buildings on land will be destroyed. Just build them again."
"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask you." The knight said, covering his head.
"Has he always been this crazy?" the werewolf boy asked his master in a low voice.
"He does this occasionally. Once he goes off line, he can't stop it. I think magicians are probably such weirdos." Arthur replied in a low voice.
"Ah, there is another way." Merlin said smartly: "Just dig out the land in the Underdark and fill it into the sea, and then the orcs will move to the new reclaimed area."
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the Grand Duke of Lyon Dickens." Arthur said perfunctorily, "It's time for me to go."
"Then...Okay. I'm waiting for your news. My investigation has made no progress at all these days, and I'm almost bored to death." Master Merlin said, "Also, before leaving, let me talk to this child alone."
Two sentences."
"Whatever you want." Arthur walked out the door.
"What...what's wrong...?" Facing this crazy mage alone, Bedivere couldn't help but be a little scared.
"Well, isn't it uncomfortable?" The mage pointed at the werewolf boy's chest: "Do you want me to help you take it out?"
The werewolf boy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "No, no, thank you."
"Is that a curse mark made of complex magic power? Even if you are an orc, having that kind of thing engraved in your heart all the time will put a huge burden on your body, right? And you are not an adult yet, so the burden of the curse mark on the body will be great, right?"
It will get bigger and bigger as it grows. I think it hurts even to breathe now, right? It’s better to take it off.”
"No, no need." Bedivere insisted. The werewolf boy's big sky-blue eyes vaguely revealed perseverance and awareness beyond his own age:
"If this is the fate I should bear, let me continue to bear it."
"In that case, I won't ask about the ins and outs of the matter." Master Merlin gave the young man a necklace. The white stone pendant seemed to have some kind of magic attached to it. "Although it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, you can at least wear this."
Reduce the burden on your body."
Bediwell took the necklace and bowed gratefully: "Thank you again, Your Majesty the Master."
