"This is Rude's room. His portal should be in the hilly area around Danakan. That is his hometown and the place where he aspired to become a magician..."
"This... is Comina's room. She is a genius. Unfortunately, she encountered an accident when she was twenty-six years old... Oh, be careful. She set up restrictions in the room before she died, and she still maintains her original appearance."
"This is Finals' room. He was once a great magician who practiced fire magic. Because he spent his whole life working hard on how to use flame modeling, his portal should be the flame that leads directly to the north. place……"
"This is Natalya's room. She used to be a water king, but after she failed in a certain experiment, she began to switch to other magics. I remember that she later became a master of void power. Magic scholar, although there was no such concept as void magic at that time... What? There is no such thing now? Sorry, I may have said too much."
As the footsteps continued to move forward and Vitak's explanation voice sounded again and again, the rooms on the twenty-fourth floor of the tower began to be opened one after another, and the portals to all corners of the world also followed Duan Qing and the others. Two people passing by appeared in front of them one after another. The layout and decoration of each room also changed exquisitely with the changes of their respective owners, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the dust in the room, so after a period of visit, Duan Qing finally asked The seemingly obvious question: "Are all the people here gone?"
"If you mean just living people...yes."
Looking back at the other party, Vitak's voice remained as calm as before: "Everyone is gone except that old guy Norman."
"Norman...how old is he now?" Duan Qing asked hesitantly.
"Four hundred and twelve years old."
The question that he didn't expect to be answered actually got a response, and there was a slight sigh in Vitak's voice: "He should be one of the oldest members of the Mage Council, and also the oldest member of the Mage Council. One of the members, even the current seven-member council, must respect some of the old man's suggestions..."
"..."
"Don't worry, he no longer interferes with matters in the parliament."
As if he could see the worry in Duan Qing's face, Vitak stopped and waved his hand, then waved forward and continued to walk towards the front of the tower: "The same thing that once appeared here Like other members, Norman is now a dying guy. In order to avoid such thoughts often appearing in his mind, he rarely lives here now..."
"Fart! I just don't want to see these guys' names!"
As this voice sounded, Norman's voice also appeared at the other end of the circular corridor: "Every day, I watch a group of guys who used to work with you but are now buried in the world. Locus, don’t you feel sad in your heart!”
"Of course I won't, because I am the tombkeeper here." Looking at the old man who came forward with his hands behind his back, Vitak's mouth slightly pulled a smile: "If it would be because of someone sleeping here, If you feel sad because of all the traces, how can you play the role of a tombkeeper well?"
"Okay, okay, I know your heart is as hard as a rock." The hunched old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Vitak, muttering in a low voice: "The world says that those who practice earth magic Magicians can live a long life, and I think you, the descendants of Malok, are the ones most likely to live a long life. Not only can you stay in this place, but you can also clearly remember the names of so many people... you two!"
"Why did you come to this place?" He lowered his eyelids and turned his gaze to the direction of Duan Qing: "Have you learned everything I taught you?"
"That..." Then Duan Qing let out a few dry laughs: "That... we just walked around casually at first, and then suddenly wanted to go upstairs to take a look..."
"There's nothing to see here." The old man waved his shabby sleeves: "You should just...come back with me."
"There are many portals in this place, which lead to various places in the Free Continent." Standing next to Duan Qing, Xueling Huanbing whispered: "We suspect that these passages may become the weakness of this place, so I want to follow in the footsteps of this magician and check it out..."
"weakness?"
Scanning the whole body of Xue Ling Huan Bing with strange eyes, Norman rolled his eyelids: "An adventurer who knows almost no magic actually claims that this tower has its own weaknesses? Is it because of my excessive Are you aging and being left behind by the magic trend of this world, or are you adventurers... starting to become arrogant because you haven't seen the greatness of magic?"
"But you can't deny that... this place may be invaded." Without any respect for the other party, Xueling Huanbing's voice was still calm and cold: "There have been many traitors in the Mage Council during this time. They There should still be a way to get back here..."
"I'm sorry to interrupt your debate, but those permissions have been taken back by me." Vitak, standing at the front, said with a smile: "My magic list has the names of everyone who uses this space. They are Users of this world, but not managers of this world.”
"From the day they are removed from the Mage Council, everything they have here will also be erased." Norman from behind then continued: "As for everything they left here...the Mage Council will also erase it as appropriate."
"But...we didn't seem to find anything like this along the way."
As if aware of the increasingly cold expression of the woman next to him, Duan Qing hurriedly half-covered her behind him: "Isn't every portal here working normally? You have really closed these properly... …”
"Don't forget, this is the twenty-fourth floor."
Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, Norman interrupted the other party in a low voice: "The magicians who can leave a mark on the twenty-fourth floor of the Tyran Tower are all magicians who have made achievements in this world. Masters, how could these people with superb magic skills and noble moral character become traitors of the Wizards Council? Most of the names on the wanted list of the Wizards Council are guys who have given up on themselves before they reach the tenth floor. They Their achievements can be imagined, and the possible threats caused by the portals they left behind...are also invisible to us."
"Do you want to go and see those places, adventurers?" Norman said with a strange smile: "Go to the bottom of the Tyran Tower to explore these so-called threats?"
"Uh..." Duan Qing scratched the back of his head: "Since Master Norman has said so, then we still..."
"...We'd better go take a look."
Interrupting Duan Qing's words again, Xueling Huanbing, who came forward, gave the other party an inconspicuous wink: "The situation is indeed as Master Norman said, the possibility of a threat on this floor should be very small. Yes, in this case, we might as well go directly to a more threatening place to check..."
"Hey, this is different from what we discussed before." Duan Qing on the side hurriedly pulled the other party's exposed body back: "We agreed to make a fortune and then leave?"
"Without Plan B, can't we make a temporary Plan C?" Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a low voice: "You can't be too greedy. Anyway, with so many people watching, we can't sneak anything here. Move away..."
"It's like the things below can be moved away secretly...well, those traitor's things might have a chance."
Calculating the gains and losses in his mind, Duan Qing nodded slightly, and then under the scrutiny of the two magicians, he smiled and said: "Well...well, we do keep those on the blacklist. There are some doubts about the portal below. For the sake of fate, can you take us to check it now?"
"...You should be lucky that I'm in a pretty good mood today."
After a slight silence for a while, Vitak in front of Duan Qing showed a smile again. The newly opened room doors around the twenty-fourth floor were suddenly closed as he waved his hand again: "Otherwise ...I will take what you said before as a question about myself."
"Doubts are always relative. Previously...didn't you also question the possibility of us losing the Emerald Star?" Duan Qing smiled nonchalantly: "Everyone is just trying to eliminate the possibility of existence. , please believe our true intentions.”
"Even if this possibility is extremely small...right?" Norman, who had his hands behind his back, shook his head helplessly, and finally turned around and walked downstairs: "Okay, old man, I will believe you for now. .”
"Christine and Freya have praised you very much before." The figure belonging to Vitak also began to slowly appear in the air: "In that case... then come with me. "
In the circular tower that is constantly surrounded by various magic floating balls, the eyes of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing then followed the trajectory of the figure gradually floating into the air, and then followed Norman who left first. The footsteps gradually went down along the ancient steps. Duan Qing's secretly observing eyes also continued to wander around the circular corridor in the process. Finally, he gave up the idea of competing with this strangely changing space. , and then in this constantly changing height difference, he returned to the tenth floor of the Talon Tower: "Well, then..."
"Moshang Qingshan?"
A surprised voice suddenly sounded beside several people at the door of a room on one side of the circular corridor: "Why are you here?"
"...Mr. Tres?" Duan Qing, who turned around, also raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So...you are here too."
"Just stopping by to take care of my own business."
Still arranging his own noble mage robe, Tres, who had cooperated with Duan Qing several times in certain tasks before, slowly walked up to them, and his right arm holding some books and information also slowly Moving slowly, he finally landed in the direction where Norman appeared: "It's you...what are you doing?"
"This little guy is curious about many designs here, so he wants to come and visit." Old Norman answered with his hands behind his back: "Lord Mallock has agreed and is now temporarily acting as their guide..."
"Guide? Lord Malok?"
Looking up at the magic creations that were constantly shuttled back and forth in the center of the circular tower, Tres's expression of surprise became a little bigger: "You...the two of them plan to join the Council of Mages?"
"No, no, no, I won't accept them!" Norman immediately shook his head: "No matter how old I am, I will never choose my apprentices so hungrily! These two guys can't even use ordinary magic. Worse than an apprentice, joining the Council of Mages... will only ruin my reputation!"
"Hey, don't say it in such a sad way." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "At least in the beginning, you gave me some basic magic skills and so on..."
"...I see, you still have some personal relationships with Master Norman."
Tres looked away from the old man who started shouting from behind, and Tres' surprised expression relaxed slightly: "He introduced you guys here, right?"
"Ah hahaha, it's just a wonderful coincidence. We ran into some trouble in Fenghua Town before, and then we happened to be saved by Master Norman..."
"Fenghua Town? That place is now the territory of the Restorationists. You adventurous adventurers really shouldn't break in easily..."
"Lord Tres...has he also sneaked into the current Fenghua Town?"
"Of course, as the forerunner of the Mage Council, I have the obligation to investigate everything related to the Restoration occupation, so that when the main force of the Mage Council arrives, I can quickly adjust the best action plan..."
A slightly clumsy exchange of courtesy with the other party, Duan Qing walked forward and put on his smile again, and then after a while of customary greetings and pleasantries, he started talking with the other party who was taking the lead. He had already taken the lead. The arriving Vitak still didn't show up for some reason. Old Norman, who had stopped losing his temper, slowly followed him with a look of disdain. Snow Spirit Huan Bing, who had been observing the surroundings, carefully withdrew his eyes. Then he got behind Duan Qing, who was being polite to Tres: "There is one more person..."
"Now there is no choice for Plan C." Duan Qing gave the other party a look: "Just take it one step at a time."
"We should at least check this place." Xue Ling Huan Bing thought for a moment: "Even if there is no gain, at least..."
"..."
The two people stopped speaking together and at the same time set their eyes on the destination in front of them. There, a teleportation mirror that they had seen several times was revealed behind the half-open door. The scene on the other side of the portal was clearly displayed before their eyes.
