The first time I heard people talk about the Ivory Tower was when the elder Kuru recounted his time in the Grimm Empire and the Ivory Tower School of Magic in Sloit.The ivory tower in my mind is actually a round tower decorated with some ivory, and the tower should be covered with ivory ornaments, which is extremely luxurious.But the ivory tower as described by old Kuru was completely different from what I thought, and he described the ivory tower as a tall white lime pillar inhabited by some old magicians with extreme ideas, these magicians were some paranoids, and they spent the rest of their lives in such a white lime pillar, which was Sloit's ivory tower.At that time, the old Kuru told me that the real ivory tower should be on the eastern continent, it is a tooth left by the ancient king of giant beasts Beamon towering between heaven and earth, and later found by some of the oldest human magicians, this giant tooth up to several hundred meters high is hollow in the middle, and the inner wall of this giant tooth is painted with natural magic patterns, these magic patterns allow human mages to establish the third magic Ming, in order to commemorate the contribution of this white giant tooth to the wizarding world, many advanced magic research institutes, will be called an ivory tower.I have always been full of respect and admiration for the ivory tower, and the shock in my heart is indescribable when I stand under the ivory tower and look up at this tower of magicians that reaches into the clouds.If I had to give this tower a title, I would call it the Pearl of the Orient.That's right, the height of this ivory tower is definitely higher than the Oriental Pearl of the Demon Capital, I really can't imagine that such a huge circular building could be rumored to be the tooth of the King of Ancient Behemoths, if this is just a tooth, then how big will its body be?
Is it really time to reach out and break through the sky?
When we marched to the square under the ivory tower, there were already two teams waiting, one of them, the warrior apprentice wearing light blue light leather armor, and the magic apprentice wearing light blue magic robes.Their right shoulder was embroidered with the academy's logo, and even if there wasn't such a line of graceful letters underneath that logo, just those galloping horses would let everyone know that they were students of the Galloping Horse Academy.These students give people the feeling of very, very neat, like well-trained warriors, there are almost no flaws, their entire team of three hundred and fifty people is very neatly divided into thirty-five groups, each group has a magic apprentice, not to mention how many magic scrolls each of them carries, but now it seems that these magic apprentices have at least seven or eight kinds of magic scrolls tied to the outside of their magic robes, behind their backs, tied around their waists, and held in their hands.Their shield warriors were all large men close to the height of adults, and in addition to wearing bronze armor, each of them carried a huge door panel behind them, which made me extremely speechless.This is a group of shield warrior apprentices who are extremely good at defense.It is said that the students of the Galloping Horse Academy are strong, and I never understood where the strength is, but now it seems that they are really strong, at least the quality of the students of our War College is really not a little bit different from them.Looking back at the students who get along with us day and night, the number of people in all the teams is almost uneven, and the costumes are also varied, there is no uniform dress at all, like a group of stragglers, I looked down at myself, and I never thought of wearing the magic robe issued by the academy, but it took a lot of thought to buy a dedication suit, for no other reason, the magic apprentice robe issued by the academy does not have any attributes that are beneficial to us to cast spells, compared to the dedication suit, it is much better.The other team was the Ziqing Academy, which we had a relationship with, and I clearly remember that these students came galloping in chariots, they were wearing purple and blue light armor and robes, and they had a green mountain embroidered on their shoulders with purple qi, and they actually rode in chariots in order to rush over from the remote Ziqingshan City as scheduled.I carefully checked and counted their magic apprentices, but they are even fewer than our side, there are only twenty-six magic apprentices on our side of the War Academy, and the rest are all warrior apprentices, while there is only a team of fifteen magic apprentices on the side of Ziqingshan City, and the rest are all warrior apprentices, almost all of these warrior apprentices carry a bundle of Duan javelins on their bodies, and some warrior apprentices carry a flis shield and Duan javelins on their backs, so they are both offensive and defensive.Some of the warrior apprentices simply carried a spear of more than three meters on their backs, and also carried a bundle of javelins, which was completely an offensive posture, and some of the warrior apprentices were all archers, and it could be seen that the route they took was mainly long-range attack methods, and they also had a certain melee ability.Looking at these javelins, I am reminded of those orc warriors on the Pai Plateau, who are really natural throwers.But this also makes me feel uneasy, as long as I think of team battles, I have to face the baptism of three rounds of hundreds of spear salvos, I don't know how many soldiers can be left who rush over against the rain of spears?
The captains of the various squads on our side are all the elites of the academy, and everyone understands that the combat effectiveness of each academy standing in front of us is far above us."
Hey, Senior Brother Flender, we really haven't seen each other for several years, I didn't expect you to still live in El City, and actually become the team leader, it seems that Dean Goldfrie really values you very much!"
A magician leader walked out of the team of the Galloping Horse Academy and greeted Teacher Flender affectionately.He was also wearing a light blue magic robe, but the material and texture of the clothes were much better than those of the students, he also wore a certain magic hat on his head, his face was a little pale, and he still had two mustaches on his lips, and he looked very handsome.At least it looks a little more pleasing to the eye than the bald Teacher Flender, not to mention that Teacher Flender is only wearing a magic robe on his body at random, and his beard has some slight burnt marks, he obviously didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, Teacher Flender smiled a little reluctantly, but still walked up to shake hands with him, and said loudly: "Lou Ange, aren't you the same, the competition for the position of a teacher in the Galloping Horse Academy must be fierce!"
Looks like you're doing well, too!
”"Rootless duckweed, it's just living in the Galloping Horse Academy."
Lou Ange, the handsome magic teacher of the Galloping Horse Academy, sighed, and Teacher Flender did snort softly."
This trip to Xinliu Valley is just a small adventure, and it is even challenging to have the few training planes opened up by our academy itself, but it is better because of the abundant resources, after all, it is a pure land in the turbulence of time, and each time there is a ten-year time to recuperate, and I don't know how many magical herbs are bred during this time."
Then he leaned into Flender's ear, lowered his voice and said, "We have worked hard this time, preparing to collect some of the main magic herb materials of the Lion King Potion and Spirit Potion, Senior Brother, you just need to inform those students of your academy to try not to compete for these magic herbs in the Xinliu Valley, so as to avoid conflict with our academy." ”Lion King Potion: Increases the strength stat for a short time.If you look at this magic potion made by an alchemist purely from its attributes itself, there is really nothing to say, it belongs to the combat potion.I don't think this kind of potion still needs to be specially assigned by the Galloping Horse Academy to collect those magic herbs.As for the spiritual potion, it is even more frivolous, except for being able to add some spiritual attributes for a short time, it has almost no effect, what is this potion used for?
I thought that maybe when I returned to El City, I would have asked Yerkes and I would have gotten a detailed answer.Anyway, it looks like these two attribute potions must be very expensive on Green's side, so I'd rather be careful."
Joke, whoever enters Xinliu Valley is not all for those rare magic herbs and ore materials, who can get these magic herbs, it is also the luck and vision of the students, why should our students of the War Academy give these precious herbs to you?"
Flender's anger rushed up, his eyes widened, and he asked Lou Ange angrily, and his voice could not be suppressed, which made Lou Ange so embarrassed.Lou Ange also smiled coldly, forced his anger to show a stiff smile on his face, and said in Flender's ear: "Senior brother, don't be ignorant, junior brother just reminded you a little, after all, the things in Xinliu Valley are not something you and I can control." ”He looked around with his eyes, and after a slight sweep, Fang said again: "Junior Brother thinks that who can get which herbs in Xinliu Valley is not luck and vision, but real strength.The inside of Xinliu Valley is extremely dangerous, and I ask you to remind those students who are staying in a remote rural town like El City, don't take your own lives because of a few magical herbs, there are not only demonic beasts in it!
”"Who is afraid of whom!
I don't think those kids are worse than anyone else!
”Teacher Flender stiffened his neck and argued.I was standing not too far away, listening to the two of them.But at this time, I thought of what the fat Bobby said to me: Ji Jia, when I heard that when I was exploring Xinliu Valley, everyone not only had to beware of the treacherous natural environment, harsh living conditions and vicious magical beasts, but also beware of students from other academies.The teachers of the academy and the mages of the Magic Guild can ignore the complaints in those exploration planes, I heard that every time the expedition is carried out, the Magic Guild will give a place with a controllable number of deaths, as long as it does not exceed the range of this death number, the Magic Guild will not be too responsible.I thought Bobby was a little timid, after all, he was still a magic apprentice who hadn't learned any magic skills, so I asked him if he wanted to apply to the team leader and come to our team.Bobby shook his head worriedly and turned away.Now it seems that naturally the stronger side has the advantage, and the strength and weakness between the academies can be seen at a glance, and I now realize what the fat Bobby is worried about, he is worried about not being able to provide enough protection for his team!
Before leaving, the Academy had given each of the Magic Apprentices who had participated in the expedition three healing scrolls and three Fireball scrolls, giving us all confidence in these expeditions, but now it seemed that the Academy could help us very little.My thoughts were interrupted by Lou Ange, the leader of the Galloping Horse Academy, who, seeing that the success had aroused the anger of Mr.
Flender, suggested that "since Senior Brother thinks that the students of this Academy are just as good, then we might as well make a bet!"
”His voice suddenly increased in height, so that the students of the War College and the Galloping Horse Academy in the vicinity could hear it clearly, and everyone was quiet at this moment, so that Lou Ange's voice became clearer.And saying this in front of these students made it even more difficult for Mr.
Flender to ride the tiger."
Lou Ange, what do you want to bet on?"
Mr.
Flender's anger made him lose his cool, and I felt that his anger had risen, and he had fallen into the trap of Lou Anger."
Bet on which of our academies collects more magic materials and is more valuable!"
Lou Ange said.Teacher Flender was a little annoyed, stared at Lou Ange and asked, "Okay!"
Just bet on this, so what do you say we are betting on?
”Lou Ange smiled a little treacherously, he reached out and touched the mustache on his lips, took out a square iron box from his arms, and opened it carefully, inside was a naturally formed gold nugget the size of an egg, and the gold nugget faintly exuded rich magical fluctuations.Lou Ange glanced left and right before saying, "I'm going to use this to fight for the magic iron ingot in my brother's hand to refine that piece of magic iron ore extracted from the magic iron ore!"
”"AhhYou're going to bet on my magic iron ingot with adamantite?
”At this time, Flender was a little stunned, frowning and smiling bitterly: "It's been a long time since you planned my magic iron ingot!"
”At this time, Lou Ange did not shy away from it, and said directly with a smile: "Who let only your blue fire of senior brother be able to melt the magic iron ore, if God buys such a piece of magic iron ingot, even if I take out all my savings in the past few years, it is not enough, I am currently doing experiments that need some magic iron powder, so I just like the piece of magic iron ingot in the hand of senior brother, but if senior brother wins, the things obtained are far more valuable than magic iron ingots, you see if my piece of gold and pure gold is also very good!"
However, if Senior Brother thinks that the students of your academy are not as strong as our Galloping Horse Academy, then forget it!
”"I'll bet on you!"
Teacher Flender was ruthless, and in order not to affect the morale of the students, he finally got into Lou Ange's trap.At this time, I heard someone next to me say, "There is such an interesting thing, why don't you bring me one?"
”An instructor from the Ziqing Academy, who was carrying two short-handled war spears behind him, walked over and said to Lou Ange and Flanders with great interest: "I use this fragment of the magic pattern found from the ancient ruins in the depths of the Ziqing Mountain Range, I don't know if I can join this gamble?"
”Lou Ange didn't expect that someone would step in horizontally, and just wanted to refuse, but after seeing the magic pattern fragment with his eyes, he swallowed back the words that he spit out to his mouth, it was a very old magic pattern fragment, and he couldn't even tell what kind of animal skin the leather that drew the magic pattern was, but the complex and exquisite pattern was definitely very different from the previous magic pattern shape, and any magician who had some study of the magic pattern would not let go of such a magic pattern fragment.Seeing this, Lou Ange couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he raised his eyes to look at Flender.In fact, at this time, Mr.
Flander had completely calmed down, and he figured out that Lou Ange wanted the magic iron ingot in his hand, and the trap he designed led him to take the bait, but his stinky temper was really forced into a blind corner by Lou Ange's words, and he had to accept the bet head-on, but, in the eyes of the discerning person, this was a gamble that could completely predict the outcome, and there was no suspense at all, and in the end the Galloping Horse Academy would win.The Galloping Horse Academy has always had a large number of elite students every year, and this trip to the Willow Valley, it seems that the strength of the Galloping Horse Academy will also exceed the War College by at least two grades, knowing that he is unlikely to win in this regard, but Flender still accepted the bet.At this time, someone stood up to stir up the game, Flender was still very willing to make the gambling game more chaotic, anyway, whoever wins can't win by himself, since he wants to give away a magic iron ingot, then it doesn't matter who he gives it to, since it is a set set set by Lou Ange, Mr.
Flender naturally doesn't want the magic iron ingot to fall into Lou Ange's hands.Teacher Flender thought about it and said, "No problem, as long as you come up with something of equal value to us, you can participate in the bet!"
This fragment of your magic pattern is indeed a rare thing, and its value can indeed be regarded as similar to that of pure gold" This teacher from Ziqing Academy has just joined the gambling game, and the leading teacher of Wuyang Academy, who is entering the venue, saw that there was a lively chat here, and also came over, and after understanding the whole story, he even took out a black pearl the size of an egg with a dead face to make Lou Ange's face become more and more gloomy, and the magic iron ingot that was originally caught in his hand has now become confusing, He looked at the few magical materials placed on the stone platform in the center of the square with some depression, they turned out to be some rare items that are usually difficult to see, if he had these things, for a magician like him, it would be tantamount to making a small fortune.Until this moment, those students from Xinghai Academy still hadn't arrived, and it looked like they were doomed to be late.At this time, the door of the ivory tower slowly opened, and two magicians came out one after another from inside, they couldn't tell their age, but the long beard on their chin showed that they were at least half a hundred years old, and the gray-bearded elder magician led by him coughed lightly, and the square quickly quieted down, and the magician said: "I want to enter the Xinliu Valley, the academy leaders and teachers have repeatedly emphasized to you, according to the calculations of the great magicians in the ivory tower, The calm cycle of the tide of time and space this time is only about twenty days, and the gate of time and space connected by our ivory tower and Xinliu Valley can only last for about twenty days, but in view of your own safety considerations, I ask you to return one after another after half a month, otherwise once the gate of time and space is closed, then you will have to stay in it for at least ten years, I don't want this kind of thing to happen, Xinliu Valley is not a good place to practice magic or martial arts, if you are lucky enough not to die, That would at least limit your progress in the next ten years. ”The old magician's words made the square fall into a dead silence, many students have only fantasized about how to find those cherished magical herbs when they enter the Xinliu Valley, but they have not thought about how to return safely, the old magician's words undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call.Seeing that his words had some effect, the old magician didn't seem to want to say more, and directly changed the topic and said: "In a while, in the order of arriving at the ivory tower, let the students follow me into the ivory tower one by one."
There is one requirement: do not make loud noises or wander around the ivory tower, and if you are caught violating discipline, you will be disqualified from the expedition immediately!
”"Alright, the students of the Galloping Horse Academy start to prepare, follow me into the ivory tower in order first!
The team leaders and teachers of the Galloping Horse Academy can wait here, or they can come back here to pick up the students of your academy after half a month!
”After that, I saw the gray-robed old magician turn around and imagine walking inside the ivory tower, and the first team of the Galloping Horse Academy followed closely behind, quickly walking into the ivory tower to be continued.
