------ Please vote by the way, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!!-----
When the younger Master Zoro slowly opened the laboratory door, the expected welcome did not appear. However, this is also a very normal thing. After all, Master Zoro himself did not think he could survive, so his expression when he entered the laboratory was also very lonely, and naturally gave people the feeling that he would not come out again. Therefore, in fact, after Master Zoro entered the laboratory, the remaining Master Zoro in the Mage Tower basically thought he had entered the tomb. In their hearts, it was a sacred thing to treat a laboratory as a master's tomb.
However, when Master Zoro slowly walked on the corridor of the Mage Tower, he felt that the environment of the Mage Tower was a little wrong, because in his impression, the light inside the Mage Tower was always dim. Even if the torch was lit, it should be an orange light, rather than the dim red light now. This light made him feel a bit like walking outside the Mage Tower and exposed to the natural red light environment of Khedira. The most important thing was that Zoro's nose that had recovered its sense of smell smelled a very strong smell of blood. This smell made the old mage who had lost his sense of smell very uncomfortable for a long time, and his whole face became extremely strange.
"What the hell is going on? Why is there a bloody smell in the mage tower? Didn't those little guys clean it up?" Zoro did not expect a battle in the mage tower. He thought that the mage apprentices were lazy and did not eliminate the killing aura caused by cleaning some time ago. But soon he felt something was wrong, because the bloody smell was too strong and extremely fresh, as if it had just been emitted.
Although the various floors of the Mage Tower are isolated from each other, the spaces of the Mage Tower are interconnected, and the airflow on the lower level will slowly float to the upper level. Only when encountering danger will the master of the Mage Tower activate closed measures to block the exchange of airflow on each floor to form layers of closed spaces. However, when the rebel mage rushed out of the dungeon, several masters of the Mage Tower, that is, those masters, were in the magic greenhouse outside, and could not rush back to preside over things in advance, so naturally they could not stop the blood from spreading upward. Similarly, if it were the Master Zoro who had not recovered his sense of smell, he might not be able to feel the rich smell of blood in the air, at most he felt the light of the Mage Tower change. But now the old mage's sense of smell has recovered, so he naturally smelled the disgusting bloody smell in the air, and at the same time he knew that something must have happened to the Mage Tower.
"I've just closed the door for so long, but they've made a mess! Those old guys don't go out to take care of it!" Master Zoro's face looked extremely ugly, but when he started walking towards the lower level of the Mage Tower, he suddenly found the magic pattern on the wall of the Mage Tower that was gradually climbing up. Although he had never seen these magic pattern master Zoro's masters, it did not prevent him from knowing and knowing, because almost every master who controls the Mage Tower would get such information from the previous generation of Mage Tower. That's Qian.
Never activate the demon magic array on the first floor of the Mage Tower, as it will bring terrible disasters. In fact, every generation of the magistrate will search for the legendary demon magic array when it succeeds, and want to remove it in advance. All the magistrates in the current magistrate tower, including Zoro, have done such a thing. But without exception, they all ended in failure. In the end, almost no one remembers that there is a taboo on the first floor of the magistrate tower. If Zoro's body had not just returned to his youthful state, he probably wouldn't be able to find this message from his messy memory.
However, after finding this information, the old mage was confused because he did not know the power of the legendary demon magic array, but this did not prevent the old mage from moving his legs towards the first floor of the mage tower. As for why he didn't have to fly, maybe it was because he wanted to experience the feeling of moving his legs after he was young. More importantly, even the ** master may not be able to fly in the mage tower. Although the corridor on the mage tower floor is very high, almost four or five meters high, there is an extremely strange magical flying array inside the mage tower. This magic array almost runs through the entire mage tower floor, and it is not the current owner of the mage tower, which is constructed by those human mages.
In fact, this magic circle has always existed since the transformation of the mage tower. You should know that the mage tower of Khedira was transformed based on the original magic magic tower of Khedira, so this forbidden air magic circle is left over from the demon era.
At the same time, the human wizard who has become the master of this wizard tower for nearly a thousand years may not be able to completely understand everything in the wizard tower. Even today, or not long ago, the apprentices of the wizard tower found several closed wizard tower rooms or secret rooms when cleaning the cleaned wizard corpses, and found many books and dead bones left from the demon era. So the place where the most secrets hidden in Khedira is nothing else, it is this magic tower constructed from black basalt.
Although Zoro did not want to admit it, he could not deny that. Even though his physical condition had recovered to his fifty years old, his fragile mage physique still made him unable to perform too vigorous exercise. However, compared to the situation where the skeleton began to be unstable after taking a few steps, the old mage's body after being transformed by the lake water and fused with those transplanted organs was much better than before. Unfortunately, the so-called better is that he is still a mage. The result of the mage body with sports waste is that he will pant when he walks too many stairs. The stairs of the mage tower are famous for being transformed from the demon mage tower. Although Khedira's mage tower has only nine floors, the stairs inside are still built according to the layout of the ancient mage mage tower. Each stair is thirteenth and then there are five stair reversing entrances.
The fifth level of the thirteenth level represents the entire process that needs to go through from a master apprentice to a higher level, that is, apprentice, mage, mentor, mentor and magistrate. Among ancient masters, the master is the highest existence and there is no god of magistrate, because ancient masters believed that magistrates should be the inheritor of knowledge rather than becoming gods, who live in heaven and overlook humans. Therefore, most ancient masters were very disgusted with becoming gods. Although they cherish their lives and hope to extend their lives, if they reach a certain time, ancient masters would still choose to completely liberate their bodies and return to the embrace of the natural element world.
The different concepts of ancient mages and current mages have led to different layouts of the mage towers. However, one thing is certain, that is, there are always the most steps in the mage tower. Although Khedira's mage tower was transformed according to the ancient mage's pattern, there are still nearly 585 steps. Master Zoro must walk so many steps to climb from the ninth floor to the first floor. If each staircase is regarded as one floor, in fact, you must go down forty-five stairs to the first floor to return from the ninth floor to the first floor.
For a mage with poor physical strength, climbing forty-five floors of stairs is extremely difficult to go downstairs, especially in order to speed up, the old mage was sprinting in a running position at the beginning. As a result, after walking for four or five floors, he couldn't bear it anymore, and the sharp decline in physical strength made him extremely tired. As a result, the old mage fell asleep near eighty steps from the first floor. He was panting and couldn't even ask for help. After all, the organs in his body had just been fusion.
"Bastard! These bastards, if I were to let me know who caused this, I must stuff his head into his asshole! Damn it, I was like a 218-year-old man climbing such a long staircase! Well, am I 218 or 228?" The old mage is still vague about his age. After all, it is unnecessary for mages to reach a certain age. If life is not about to end, no mage will pay attention to how old he is. Of course, even Master Zoro has recovered a little bit of youth, which is already in his memory
There is no such concept as birthday. Almost every year that people who have lived for hundreds of years are a luxury, and naturally they will not deliberately record the years they have lived. Although the old mages are cursing, he hopes that several apprentices can hear his voice to help him. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that there are really not many apprentices in the mage tower. Most of the mages in the dungeon escaped and ran to attack. As a result, they are all on the first floor. Only a few mages did not enter the first floor, but were blocked at the stairs on the second floor and tried hard to use magic to disperse the red fog, which made the red fog more and more.
After being swallowed up three or four mages in a row, these mage apprentices did not dare to stay on the first floor of the mage tower, but chose to walk to the third floor. When they arrived at the third floor, the old mage happened to walk to the fifth floor. When the old mage was about to arrive at the second floor, the mage apprentices had already hid in the room on the third floor. So no matter how the old mage shouted, no one would come to help him. So in the end, the poor old mage moved step by step to the stairs between the second and first floors, and sat in front of the red mist area.
"What the hell is going on?" Master Zoro looked at the red fog in front of him that blocked the stairs leading to the first floor. With the help of the power of spells, he could feel a strange energy and life breath in the fog. At the same time, he also knew that the red fog was very dangerous, because in front of the fog, he saw several corpses belonging to apprentices of the Mage Tower. The shriveled corpses made him, a 200-year-old man, extremely frightened.
After seeing the sucked corpses, Master Zoro had the urge to give up, but he was still the instructor of the person in charge. After sensing the magic fluctuations in the hall on the first floor, Master Zoro decided to stay. Then he sat at the entrance of the passage leading to the first floor while using detection spells to explore the composition of the red fog. Of course, the old master also observed the twisted and spreading magic patterns on the wall from time to time, and over time he found that every time a scream came from the first floor, the spreading speed of the magic patterns increased a little. As for the reason for this situation, the old master would never think it was caused by the screaming, but by the body of a killed mage apprentice who was absorbed. Even if he did not see the situation at the scene, the old master could use his mind to imagine how the screaming mage was sucked into a mummy and then become the nutrient for the spreading magic patterns.
Therefore, in the eyes of the old mage, the red fog that can absorb magic and ** is not the key, the key lies in the spreading magic patterns. But if you want to truly understand these magic patterns, you can't do it on the second floor. You can only go to the source of the magic patterns, which is where Chen Kai and the others are at this moment. However, Master Zoro, who was blocked by the red fog, could not pass through the red fog and go to the first floor, otherwise he would not have to sit on the ground and sigh now. In fact, the old mage is not
There was no way to break through these red mists, but he was full of concerns. When releasing the detection spells, he felt that these red mists could absorb magic power and magic elements, so he was worried that the spells he released to tear open the red mist would not only fail to open the passage, but would be absorbed into nutrients that encourage magic patterns. However, as the old mage felt that the magic attacks coming to the first floor were less and less, he knew that if he did not make a decision, the mages on the first floor would all be finished.
"I didn't expect that I was over 200 years old and I would even wipe the troubles caused by those little bastards! Alas, I really don't know if these little bastards can grow to the level of inheriting the mage tower in the future!" Master Zoro sighed, then slowly stood up with a stick, and as his lips slowly opened and closed, one by one, syllables emitting magic appeared in the surrounding void, and under the action of magic power, they formed magic words and slowly wrapped around the tips of Master Zoro's right fingertips that stretched out. A large amount of arcane energy slowly turned around the fingertips of the old mage, forming a ring of magic circles that kept rotating. As the last magic syllable was poured out from the old mage's mouth, the magic array surrounding his fingertips began to rotate at high speed. The arcane energy in the void was extracted and formed a large amount of spells.
"Arcane crack!!" This is the name released by the old mage Zoro. Although he could use a staff directly to stimulate this high-level spell without using spells, in order to enhance the power of the spell, he chanted the spell and used magic circles to strengthen the power of the spell. The power of this spell was increased again on the original basis. When the spell was released, the entire corridor leading to the first floor began to turn into violet, and the glory of the arcane suppressed it.
The light of the red fog. The terrifying purple light column instantly rushed from the old mage's fingertips to the stairs blocked by the red fog. Under the influence of the power of the great cracking spell, all the red fog decomposed and separated instantly as if ice and snow encountered sunlight. In fact, the old mage had tried to use spells such as disintegration rays, but later thinking about it, the power of the disintegration rays was not enough. The most important thing is that its attack range is too small, and it does not want to have a large cracking spell that can adjust the attack range.
After all, the main reason why the old mage uses the Great Sclerosis is that he wants to leave the red mist without thoroughly penetrating the opponent, so the penetration of the spell is not the main thing, but the important thing is the dismemberment and destruction ability of the spell. When the clerosis penetrates the red mist, the destroyed red mist not only does not recover, but continues to be destroyed. This is a chain reaction. In fact, as long as the limb is hit by the Great Sclerosis, basically unless the limb or the body is completely cracked, it will only be stopped until the power of the spell disappears and the effect of the cleavage will eventually stop.
Stop. With the full force of an intermediate-level ** master, the power of the great crack was fully released. If it weren't for the end that the old mage Sauron stopped the input of magic, this cracking technique might have penetrated directly through the foundation of the entire mage tower and rushed into the ground. After all, less than a second after the attack was released, the cracking technique hit the floor under the mage tower and directly penetrated the thick ground and rushed into the dungeon. Under the action of the cracking technique, the forbidden magic array in the mage tower dungeon was directly knocked out by a corner and completely stopped operating.
However, for Chen Kai and the others, the old mage saved their lives at a fatal moment. You must know that the place they were originally staying was closer to the stairs. As a result, when the violet spell shot down, it was located right in front of Chen Kai and his position. Three mages who gathered together who wanted to fire flame spells were almost instantly hit by the great rupture. In the fierce spell battle, especially when Chen Yi's aura of the sacred place began to fade, Chen Kai and the others entered an extremely dangerous situation. Although they had restored some combat power in a short time after pouring some lake water for Gerry and other mages, they were in a short time, but they were constantly controlled by the erosion of the red fog.
The environment facing the mage, Chen Kai and others was becoming more and more dangerous. If Chen Yi had not recovered some magic power from behind and used the power of the halo to suppress the red mist in the air again, perhaps Chen Kai and others had already been killed by the erosion of the red mist. But even so, after a killing, less than twenty-one of the group, which was originally close to fifty people, finally lived, and almost every moment, a young mage apprentice died in the roar of flames. However, after a long battle, except for Chen Kai and others who were frozen under the attack of Gri's ice roar, who killed several times, so far, no other elemental puppet mage has been killed.
Of course, those mutant mages who released spells in the battle and then suddenly dissipated were not in the record of death. If it weren't for this, Chen Kai and the others would have been wiped out long ago. So now there are not many mutant mages, and there are only twenty in total, but their degree of mutation is even higher, especially the chubby mage Zanaris, whose body has already turned into a fire element state. The appearance that originally belonged to humans has completely disappeared. Except for one arm, one leg, and the head, it still retains the shape of a human part, other parts, including the torso, have all turned into a burning flame.
Circles of burning flames replaced the part that originally belonged to the human limbs, and at the same time, the body of the fat mage returned to its original appearance. If the body expanded with the flames was considered a body, then his body was already very close to the fat man with more than 200 kilograms. However, as the body gradually mutated, the number of times the fat mage took action gradually became rare. Later, most of the mutant mages with mutant body, like him, had stopped the attack in their hands and focused on absorbing the red mist radiating from the wall. So Chen Kai and the others could survive until now. If it weren't for the powerful mutant mage who stopped the attack, perhaps only a few spells, Chen Kai and others who had exhausted magic power, would have turned into ashes.
So Chen Kai and his friends felt that they had seen their relatives when they saw their relatives. If it weren't for the fireball flying over their heads and the terrifying magic power around them, they would probably be jumping happily.
However, it was obvious that Master Zoro's spells angered these mutant mages. Although they lost most of their minds after becoming puppets, they still care about some things very much. Especially the red fog that the old mage opened the path to sweep away was definitely a real provocation for the mutant mage who grew up with the red fog, or perhaps the mutant mages controlled by the fog and magic patterns. So when the old mage walked slowly towards the first floor, the mutant mages controlled by the magic patterns suddenly stopped clearing Chen Kai and the others, and instead aimed the muzzle at the old mage walking on the stairs. A bunch of terrifying elemental forces quickly gathered in the air, forming extremely terrifying spells. After most of the elements of these mutant mages became more powerful, and at the same time, because of the half-elemental body, their behavior of releasing spells became more swift.
The spells that seemed extremely terrifying in Chen Kai and the others' eyes rushed towards him without any preparation. Where the torrent of magic passed, even the steps made of basalt and carved with the magic circles were instantly liquefied and disappeared. When the old mage noticed it, the torrent of flames and arcane spells had rushed to him. (I want to mention it here that basically the mutant mages who survived at this moment were fire elemental and arcane. The others were either killed or directly collapsed because of exhaustion of vitality, and the elements were absorbed and absorbed by the magic pattern.)
"Bastard! You guys who bully the master and destroy the ancestors!!" Master Zoro looked at the spell that was coming angrily, especially when he saw Zanaris' cheeks that had not been completely transformed by the fire element, the blood in his body instantly rushed into his head and his whole face suddenly flushed. Maybe he might get a cerebral hemorrhage or be pissed to death in the next moment.
