Over the next few days, Wang dove into the Wangli Library to read about the exploration of the White Tower in Monrovia’s history.
This mysterious tower has no doors or windows. Even if you fly to the top on a griffin, you won't see any openings.
For hundreds of years, countless mages have tried countless methods, and they are not even sure whether this tower is solid.
The most outrageous attempt in so many years was to dig out half of the tower's foundation. It turned out that the tower seemed to be floating in the sky - no, it was floating in the sky.
At that time, the hanging tower caused complete panic. People said that the day the tower fell was the day when Minos was destroyed.
In the end, Monrovia had no choice but to spend a huge sum of money to hire dwarf craftsmen to build a stronger foundation, which put the rumors to rest. This also led to the formation of a large dwarf community in Minos, with nearly 10,000 dwarf craftsmen living in Minos.
The neighborhood where dwarf craftsmen live together is lined with chimneys, and each workshop is producing various equipment day and night.
This actually gave Monrovia a trump card against the strong orc soldiers: "sophisticated equipment."
On the fifth day of staying in Wang Li Library, Wang suddenly put down his book, put his hands in his hair, and rubbed it wildly: "Ahhhhh! I have tried every method!"
The fifth prince who had been looking at him teased: "What, are you giving up?"
Wang: "There is nothing you can do if you don't give up. You see, after so many years, so many wizards, warlocks and archaeologists have tried their best. As a result, this tower seems to be mocking everyone's efforts, and it just stands so quietly—— Probably floating.
"Even if he used the energy core of the Cyclops Empire to provide energy, the energy would have been exhausted long ago. No, even if it used a red furnace to provide energy, it would have been burned out long ago. The red furnace needs to burn phlogiston refining three."
Oscar: "Phlogiston Refining Three? What is it?"
Wang: "Your common magic ship fuel is an extracted heterotopic form of phlogiston."
Oscar looked like he didn't believe it: "Humph, a crappy mage is making excuses. All mages have to learn, how can a mage like you do it? I know, I don't know what happened to Miss Elizabeth during the day, and Nini at night The lady will go to your room!"
Wang: "Ah, um, I'm teaching her magic. To be precise, I'm teaching her the basic principles of magic."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
Because he was so excited, Oscar's combed hair fell down and blocked one eye.
"Wait a minute!" Wang shouted, "Stop! Don't move! Wow, you look so handsome with one eye covered!"
"Damn it, you actually humiliated me! If you weren't a mage, I would have dueled you!"
"Why can't mages duel?"
"Because mages don't know how to use long swords, it would be too cunning for me to use a long sword in a duel!"
Wang shook his head: "No, no, no, my teacher is very powerful with the long sword, and he will use Tan Sen's Transformation Technique on himself. After using it, he will turn into a muscular old man, so fierce."
"Hmph. I think your teacher is also a deceiver. You have no real ability at all. You just happened to become part of the legend."
Wang: "Then you just need to kill me to see if I'm lying. I'm only a third-level person, so I can't use the triggering technique. Just stab me here and I'll die."
"I will not kill an unarmed person!" Oscar said angrily, "And I will never attack by surprise! Stop talking about this and tell me about your indiscretion!"
Wang: "She really came to me to learn magic. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you... Haha, actually I lied to you! Nini came to me to do happy things! Let me tell you, the elf's ears, The tip is very sharp. As long as she takes a gentle breath like this, yes, so lightly, her whole body will tremble! Holding her secondary sexual characteristics with both hands like this..."
Oscar had never heard of such an exciting thing, and his face suddenly turned red: "You, you, you, you are really doing this kind of thing!"
Wang: "Actually, I'm lying to you. I'm really teaching her magic."
Oscar: "As a third-level mage, are you thinking too much about teaching others magic?"
Wang: "I can't help it. I was able to cast second-level spells when I was ten years old. I have been stuck for eight years now. I want to try any method. Someone suggested that I try to be a teacher and see if I can As I deepened my own understanding during the teaching process, I adopted it.”
As he spoke, he patted the book in front of him: "Just like your ancestors! In order to unlock the secrets of this tower, all kinds of weird methods have been used. But the tower seems to be laughing at your efforts..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Before the king could answer the door, the knocker opened the door and came in.
The visitor is Rosalie Myhrvold, the fourth princess of Monrovia.
Oscar asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to go on an outing with your fiancé?"
Rosalie let out a long sigh: "Forget about that good-for-nothing Odas. The orcs' wolf cavalry scared him to death. He has returned home now!"
King: "So you are engaged to the prince of Audas? No wonder the two guards in front of the hall used the etiquette of the Audas palace. They are planning a marriage."
The fourth princess said angrily: "Yes, because of this, I have been accustomed to the traditional dishes of Odas, olive oil, onions, and various pastes since I turned eighteen."
The bodyguard Xiaobai, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly got up and shouted: "Mud! It's from Dian! It doesn't taste good!"
After shouting, she looked at the king and then at the four princesses.
"Why did the color of your hair change, Dabo?" Xiaobai, who seemed to be in a sleepy state, recognized people based on their secondary sexual characteristics. "Forget it, you watch here, and I will continue to sleep. Don't feed me mushy food. ."
After saying that, she lay back on the table.
Fourth Princess: "Is this your bodyguard? If I come to kill you, your people will die."
Wang: "Don't worry, I can sense hostility, and Marika is around. So what you're saying is that you've been eating mush?"
While he was talking, he looked at Xiaobai, obviously wanting to tease Xiaobai again with bad intentions.
However, the werewolf's ears are turned back, like a cat's.
The fourth princess directly picked up the topic: "The taste of Odas' paste is not bad. But their other habits are too difficult to adapt to. For example, their women's clothes and headscarves are very beautiful, and the clothes have a lot of colors, but Style...ah!"
Wang: "That's right."
"Also, after we get engaged, we have done everything we should do. They can't do it. We have to behave ourselves after the engagement. They don't even allow a kiss on the hand!" Rosalie continued to complain, " If the orcs break through the White City Wall this time, I will give birth to a savage and cruel orc for the first time, and I will give birth to a half-orc."
Wang: "Ah, don't worry about that. Orcs are usually very rough, and most of them won't survive."
Rosalie was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Are you talking about the orcs, or me?"
"You." The king said, "This is why the number of orcs is not large enough to overthrow human society."
The girl stared at the mage for a few seconds and said, "You are actually an indifferent person, right?"
Wang: "I am a mage, I am just more rational. But in the eyes of ordinary people, being overly rational is the same as being cold-blooded. So there is nothing wrong with you saying that I am cold-blooded."
As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth barged in without knocking, followed by Nini.
Seeing Rosalie, Elizabeth immediately assumed a "fighting stance."
Rosalie smiled: "Sister, don't be so nervous. I'm already engaged. Although my fiancé has been in Minos for half a year because of his country's tradition, I'm still a virgin. But, I'm already getting married. , I won’t compete with you for the future legendary mage.”
Wang: "You are wrong, she just wants to..."
Elizabeth: "I don't want to!"
Wang: "Well she doesn't want to."
Rosalie:? ? ?
Nini said to the Fourth Princess: "They have complicated interpersonal relationships."
Rosalie half-opened her mouth and waited for half a second before saying: "Ah... I can see it. I didn't expect the complicated interpersonal relationships of this good guy. What about you?"
Nini: "I am the king's apprentice."
Rosalie looked back and forth between the elf and the mage: "A three-ring mage with an elf mage apprentice? Miss Elf, could I ask how old you are?"
There are many red tapes in Monrovia, one of which is that you cannot easily ask a woman her age. In Monrovia, no matter how old a woman is, she will be called a lady.
But elves don't have this taboo. Their lifespan is already as long as that of dragons. It doesn't matter if they ask about their age. At most, some short-lived races are stimulated.
Nini: "I'm a hundred years old, and I still have five years to reach adulthood."
Wang: "She traveled to improve her archery skills and find a suitable name for herself. Elves have to name themselves when they reach adulthood, and Nini is just a nickname."
Rosalie raised her eyebrows: "So how old are you? Mr. Mage?"
Wang: "Eighteen years old."
Rosalie: "Are you sure you can teach her magic?"
Nini: "He can indeed do it. We elves have a natural interest in magic skills, but I have never been able to figure it out. His teaching method is different from that of our elven mages. There is no mysterious beauty of magic, only quantitative analysis."
Wang: "Our Mage Tower has introduced the concept of some planes with different technical routes. The individual spell casters in these planes are very weak, but they can use props and calculations to activate powerful magic."
Rosalie was speechless: "So you teach her for free? According to you, isn't this very precious knowledge? Or is it that Miss Elf has already paid you?"
She looked up and down the elf's gourd-shaped figure thoughtfully, and her eyes especially stayed on the base of the long legs for a long time.
Wang: "She did pay. The elves' knowledge of magic has greatly broadened my horizons. I always thought that the basis of magic is mathematics, but from the elves' perspective, the basis of magic is art and imagination."
"I have always neglected my understanding of art and lacked imagination. This may be the reason why I cannot cast four-ring magic."
Rosalie: "That's it?"
"That's it. Exchange knowledge for knowledge, it's a good deal." Wang said.
Elizabeth looked at Rosalie with some pride: "You must be thinking wrongly. I heard that the court and social scene in Monrovia are very chaotic, and it seems that it is indeed the case."
Rosalie also laughed: "Indeed, there are not many girls who can keep themselves clean in Monrovia's social scene. Sometimes during dances, they will get pregnant by playing hide-and-seek in the maze in the garden.
"The aristocratic girls in Monrovia are gossiping that so-and-so went to black doctors again, so-and-so used abortion magic again, and so-and-so tore up a disease removal scroll, which may have removed syphilis."
Wang was stunned: "Is it such a big deal? What about you?"
"I'm of the other side."
The king and Elizabeth read together: "The other faction?"
"Yes, we are the group that believes that chastity has its own value. We generally keep ourselves clean, because we are a precious weapon and the key to changing our destiny. Whether we can marry a good husband depends on our determination."
Wang: "There is such a perspective, it is indeed very reasonable."
Rosalie looked at Elizabeth: "What about the Duchess? Which faction are you in?"
Elizabeth: "I am a warlock, and my value lies in firing scorching rays."
Wang: "You have a very clear self-awareness!"
At this time, Oscar Myhrvold coughed.
Everyone looked at him together.
Wang: "Are you still there?"
Oscar said angrily: "Of course I have to be there! My responsibility is to supervise you to solve the puzzle of the White Tower! But now you are chatting with a woman! You playboy!"
Wang turned to ask the Fourth Princess: "Isn't your brother very popular in the social circle?"
Rosalie smiled and replied: "Where, he is very popular, but once he is surrounded by white breasts and slender waist, he will immediately be at a loss. After all, he will hide Meng Yi's pants and don't want the maid to The shy boy we found."
Wang: "Have you finally discovered it?"
"I found out. The maids secretly had fun for several days. They even teased me, 'Your Highness, this means you are growing up healthily.' In the end, he became so angry that he asked his mother to replace him with a full set of male servants to take care of his daily life."
Wang: "Then the life he usually leads is a bit like my life in the Master Tower? When I was a child, my teacher and several uncles drew lots to decide who would take me, and then my teacher made a golem specially to take me. , someone contracted a succubus to take care of me, and the most outrageous one hired a devil to change my diapers."
Rosalie's eyes widened: "Sir, Lancelot, your story is much more interesting than the stories told by the boys in the salon. I should take you to the salon, and you will soon become a central figure!"
Elizabeth: "Wait a minute! He still has to solve a mystery. He doesn't have time to go to some salon to brag with an ignorant aristocratic lady!"
Wang: "Actually, I have roughly looked at the recorded attempts over hundreds of years. I have almost given up. There are so many smart people who have tried to solve this puzzle over the years, and I have no significant difference compared to them. Advantage."
Elizabeth was shocked: "I thought you were going to say, 'I have a plan.'"
Wang: "It does exist. But!"
He patted the huge cowhide-covered ancient book on the table: "Looking through the book, I found that my predecessors had already tried it. So I am ready to report my failure to the Emperor of Monrovia. If Your Majesty has time now, I can do it now Go report it.”
Elizabeth: "Then they will doubt the authenticity of the annihilation crisis and will not provide help."
"First, now the orc army may invade the situation at any time. Even if they want to help, they probably won't be able to do it. Second, what a big deal. Wouldn't it be nice to find another way to prove that my teacher is the one."
