Secret, ancient, noble...
All the pronouns that praise it form a high tower.
The Tower has always valued the talent and blood of its apprentices.
This ancient treaty means that the lucky ones who are not selected by the tower rarely know the core information inside the tower.
Whether it is the highest-ranking eight-page master in the tower, or a newcomer who has been awarded the title of one-page mage and has broken away from the status of apprentice.
Everyone follows one of the ancient laws, secrecy.
Hu Yan was born in the school of prophecy in the High Tower. He was awarded the qualification of the fourth page of the code, and he was proud of his status as a mage under the High Tower.
Even though he was engaged in the intelligence business that relied on trickery and conspiracy to make a living, Hu Yan still considered himself a noble mage in essence.
This business is an order from a major customer.
The Wuzhou area is active outside the intelligence network, and Fox appears to be a private detective.
Small enough to help an old woman find a missing kitten, track her husband's schedule for a rich lady, and secretly photograph evidence of his tryst with his lover...
Actually......
Information about ghosts and gods, information about lost artifacts, and internal information from the Wuzhou Regional Security Department and the company.
Even foxes have a way of stealing the freshest information from the intelligence network.
For this mission goal, have actual evaluation combat power above [Disaster] superior level.
Suspected to be a master-level ability user of the spiritual sequence, he also severely injured the priests and mercenaries of the Advent Society...
Reading freshly released information every day is Fox's job.
It was after he had read the intelligence information thoroughly and confirmed that he was sure to take this deal that he would covet the Vientiane Magic Mirror imitation that was traded by the big customer.
However, the fox felt a little regretful at this time.
Between [disaster] and [disaster]......
In fact, there is a huge difference in distance, and he has obviously provoked the hardest bone to crack.
He silently used his spiritual condensed body, and his consciousness came here. His own prophecy spells couldn't see through how much this guy was hiding.
He didn't even come into his own body, but the intimidating feeling he brought made the fox feel a little trembling.
After seeing through his identity and telling the background of the tower, this guy still showed disdain.
It seemed that just by relying on his own spellcasting fluctuations, he could accurately see through the instantaneous search and see through the invisibility he released, and the wall of chaos that protected the school's curse ring was also recognized by him at a glance.
This person knows the tower system very well, is familiar with and can understand the nature of the mage.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Yan finally stopped holding the coffee cup on the bone china plate.
He squinted his eyes, smiled and raised his hands flat.
...........
“To be honest, you completely exceeded my expectations.
I'm not sure how you understand the tower's system so well, but I'm a smart guy. The code name Fox shows that my cunning is proportional to my tact.
My business failure was due to my own arrogance.
Since you have seen through it, I will admit my defeat.
However, I cannot disclose customer information to you. This is the basis of my business.
No matter how cunning the fox is, the guests will still choose to believe the fox’s tricks in the end. I have worked so hard to accumulate a good reputation, so forgive me for not ruining this sign myself.
I will terminate this business afterwards and will not continue to spy on you.
When a strong man like you comes to Wuzhou, I really don’t know whether to be surprised or frightened.
There is always a price to pay for failure. You can choose one. As an intelligence merchant, you still have some capital to buy your life.
an item, or...
A piece of information about you?
Of course, it's not impossible for you to want both, but...it's a paid item. "
…………
The nature and cunning of the businessman made Hu Yan deliberately lead the topic while giving up on pursuing the wish. Weaken this mysterious existence and become hostile to yourself.
A qualified businessman will never lack customers at any time.
Under the protection of [Wall of Chaos], Hu Yan gradually regained his true nature as a businessman.
His squinted eyes opened slightly.
This look really has the cunning temperament of a fox.
An intelligence dealer like a fox, he can still negotiate business calmly after calming down.
Looking at Wu Yan's posture, Xu Wish's spiritual body held his chin, listening to the fox's tricks with great interest.
"Fox, if I said all this was just a boast you made to me when you were drunk, you probably wouldn't believe it.
Equivalent exchange, everything is worth it.
Alchemy and magic both follow the principle of equivalent exchange.
The price is directly proportional to the effort. You don't need to try to use your tricks on me. I just sensed your aura, so come here and take a look.
As for the information...no need...
I know the security department will send that guy over.
Do you want to use this information to pay for me? It is indeed expensive information. Every clue about that guy is worth starting at a million.
Time, events, everything seemed to be advanced this time when I came back.
Interesting, Fox, you say...is this the impact of the butterfly effect?
As long as a butterfly from the past flaps its wings, even just a little more, an all-devouring storm will sweep into the future. Everything was done in advance, and this process actually gave me some expectations. "
Pretending to be relaxed words, laughter came from the spiritual consciousness of making a wish.
Listening to these illogical words, cold sweat fell from Hu Yan's forehead inadvertently.
This guy is so weird.
Although the words he said were fragmented, illogical and incomprehensible, it seemed...as if he could predict the future in advance. This guy was very familiar with future events.
------------------
See through time and predict the future.
The mages of the Tower Prophecy School pursue the authority of omniscience.
Although it is known as prophecy, most of the prophecy spells are focused on the fields of perception, search, and prediction.
If you want to reach the level of interfering with the subtle timeline, only when you are granted the fifth page of the code, a talented mage can master the ability of precognition in advance.
As far as the future and omens are concerned, that's six pages plus territory.
Even the seven-page wizards in the tower and the ancient ones who have the reputation of being professors can only cover vague prophecies and short-term visions of the future.
With Hu Yan's knowledge, the only person with the ability to completely explore time and foretell the future exists is the supreme mage from the eight schools in the tower.
Eight seats in the tower, leaders of the eight sects.
School of Prophecy, Page 8 of Stars.
Promote to the pinnacle of a school, reach the end of prophecy spells, and touch the real realm of magic. Only then will he be awarded the honor of eight pages by the original code. The current eighth page of the prophecy school is said to have a complete [Future Vision]
Seeing through the future requires a huge price.
It is so huge that even if a mage sees a sign of the future, he still has to pay a high price if he wants to reveal information about the future.
Hu Yan would not believe that this guy really had the ability to touch the future.
Although he has the evaluation of [disaster], it is suspected that he is [disaster]
The eighth page of the tower, the existence of the inherited school badge, is far from an area that [Disaster] can touch.
As for the nonsense in Xu Wishong's mouth, after Hu Yan clarified his thoughts, he just thought that he wanted a more expensive price.
Knowing that the security department had sent that guy, he could still safely play house in Wuzhou. At this moment, Hu Yan didn't believe that the target was an ordinary young boy.
This poor child must have a terrifying monster hidden in his body.
After thinking about it, Hu Yan looked again at this condensed consciousness composed of blurred snowflake dots and mosaics.
The fox raised his eyes slightly, and the moment the fox opened his eyes, a sudden chill ran down his back.
Adhering to the energy barrier of the [Wall of Chaos], the wishing consciousness disappeared from the edge of the rooftop at some point. His blurred face was pressed against the energy barrier, almost completely covering it, and he looked at the nonsense quietly.
Fiery and proud.
On the mental body that was originally just garbled characters, an eye suddenly opened.
The golden eyes looked directly into Hu Yan's eyes, making the fox tremble slightly in his heart, as if he had glimpsed a lion the first moment he opened his eyes.
"Fox, you are so thoughtful.
But it doesn't matter, in my impression you are just such a guy. You are a rational person, so you won’t believe what I say. In order to put your mind at ease, I have to pay a little price.
The information in your mouth is of no use to me.
I...want this..."
After his wishful eyes looked completely at the nonsense, he slowly stretched out his fingers. When the condensed spiritual body touched the wall of chaos, the fingers condensed with spiritual power were melted by the magic power. But he still pointed firmly at the ring on Hu Yan's little finger.
The ability of [Snake of Fantasy] indeed made Xuanyuan aware of the prying eyes from the outside.
But what made him interesting was that the fox, which was supposed to show its head only on the third day, showed its tail early today.
Perhaps it was because I had intercepted Hu's plan for the Advent meeting this morning and allowed the intelligence businessman to appear early.
With the experience of the seven-day cycle, making a wish can gain a lot of advantages by relying on vague memories.
But with his recovery this time, it seems that the timeline has changed slightly.
Is it a coincidence, or...everything is already destined...
If you follow this butterfly effect and pursue it diligently, you may find the answer.
But Xu Yuan simply gave up thinking and didn't study these issues in detail. He didn't dare to gamble next time, so in this cycle, he had to live with a clear conscience. During these seven days, he would be free... ....
A chill ran down the spine, and Hu Yan opened his eyes out of thin air, making Hu Yan's assessment of the danger of this target rise to a new level again.
Fumbling for the ring on his little finger, the cunning fox also showed a pained expression.
"You...you are really good at choosing.
Produced by the curse ring of the School of Protection, although the spell engraved on this curse ring only has a level of three pages, it is the purest core [Protection].
Even if he is a five-page mage from the Protection School, if he wants to learn [Protection], his bloodline must be pure enough to be recognized.
[Asylum] This three-page spell has already touched upon the eight-page realm.
I only got this curse ring through some connections.
Forget it, who let me be caught by you?
A life or a curse ring, which one is more important can be clearly distinguished below.
This curse ring is given to you as a price. I will give up this business. You no longer need to worry about my prying eyes. Although you may have discovered it, I will still give you a piece of information for free as my goodwill.
The security guys are already watching you from outside.
Those in the research institute like to study these gadgets of alchemical science.
If bees cannot collect nectar, they will eventually be expelled from the hive. "
Smiling helplessly, Hu Yandang decisively took off the curse ring on his little finger in the face of this fearful figure outside the wall of chaos.
He made a clear distinction between the things outside him and his life.
Faced with the fox's overture, Xuyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, made a silent gesture, and then spoke.
...........
"Fox, don't be so impatient.
I said I won't interfere with your business.
Your agreement with the customer can go ahead as promised, but on top of this business, I think you won't mind having one more customer.
The mage in the tower is a rare creature. Even I am not willing to give up such a good move. You can continue your business and get the [Mirror of All Things], which is not an imitation.
I remember you were stuck on page four for a long time.
Promoting to the fifth page of the prophecy system requires not only materials, but also timing.
The next few days will become very chaotic. Nonsense, I need the fox's trick, so... I can give you the opportunity, pray in the name of the tower! "
It was obviously a gentle voice, but at this moment, Hu Yan heard it more like the whisper of a devil tempting mortals to fall.
His eyes clearly changed. This guy knew the tower very well.
The opportunity to advance to the fifth page of the prophecy department. Faced with this temptation, the cunning fox can't help but get close to the meat bait and smell the fragrance.
"I'll give you time to think about it, and you can choose to refuse.
However, I don't think you will.
I'll take the price first, you should know how to contact the customer.
Fox, if you say yes, I'm looking forward to seeing you dance drunkenly again. Pray in the name of the tower, even if you are not a mage, you know the weight of this oath prayer, then...goodbye..."
Without giving Hu Yan time to continue talking, the consciousness condensed from the golden mosaic and snowflakes dissipated in an instant after gently waving his hand.
He was slightly dazed, and when the nonsense subsided, his eyes were fully opened.
The curse ring he held lightly in his hand disappeared at some point.
The spell effect of [Wall of Chaos] has not dissipated.
The protection school is comparable to the spells of the fifth page. The wall of chaos's defense alone is enough to support attacks within the official rating of [Disaster Special Level]. Before the spell is unlocked, the curse ring is an item within the protective range and is also protected by the protective effect of the Wall of Chaos.
But...the ring is gone...
Holding his breath quietly, Hu Yan noticed that he could vaguely see a gap in the vague energy barrier of the Wall of Chaos behind him. The gap was very small, as if... it was bitten by some kind of creature... .......
[Strategy Files] (Information is currently available to the public)
[Spellcasting unit]: The mage of the tower, following the rules of equal exchange. Starting from the Apprentice and up to the eight pages of the Supreme Mage, all need to abide by the restrictions of spellcasting units.
Due to his own magic power and the price he pays, the mage's daily spell-casting units have extremely strict restrictions.
For example, the apprentice's magic power is thin and he can only use the spells on page zero. However, when the mage is promoted to page one and is granted the authority of the code, and the magic power in his body is sufficient, the spells on page zero can be used in plural, but the spells on page one can be used in plural. , the casting unit can only be released once per day. By analogy, the mage's daily spell selection will become a crucial issue during battle.
If you use magic props such as curse rings, it does not occupy the quota of your own spell-casting unit. (To be unlocked)
