Chapter 176 The Bound Tower
Although Annan gave many suggestions for improvement, Huskies had no time to modify it at all—at least the "fetter entry" would not be added for a while.
The only thing that can be modified is probably the sales method...
So on the carriage, Husky began to hastily split some of the trial versions she brought.
In order to facilitate the transportation of goods and carry samples with her, Husky also specially learned a ritual spell - [shrine technique]. The effect of this spell is to be able to open up a space "inside" one's own existence, and store items in it that are no larger than oneself in volume and quality.
The items stored in it will gradually become heterogeneous, and will be gradually soaked by the influence of the caster himself. Because this belongs to the "inside of itself", no matter the caster performs a certain ritual, it will also affect the items stored inside.
In this way, the material can be actively cultivated in a certain direction, and the ordinary material can be directly corrupted into a mantra material with specific influence.
Husky does not need the real function of this spell, she just lacks a storage backpack...
Seeing her busy on the sidelines, Annan was also helping to tidy up.
When they finished, the carriage arrived at the Forbidden Lava Tower.
——This is what Annan said before, the volcano that is almost identical in appearance to Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy.
It is also the reason why Annan confirmed that this world is also a mirror image of the earth...
Cities, villages, wonders, swamps, forests—these may all be subtly differentiated by the people who live here.
However, the special landforms such as canyons and volcanoes have a certain degree of "unchangeable" characteristics.
... As long as there are no high-level saboteurs fighting or dying here, it is still very difficult to change this special landscape with the technology of this era.
Because of the existence of the Lava Forbidden Tower, this volcano is simply referred to as the "Forbidden Mountain" - and it is indeed the case, and ordinary people are indeed not allowed to enter at will. So there is nothing wrong with the name.
After Annan and the others arrived at the forbidden line here, they had to get off the carriage and walk the rest of the distance on foot.
Not only because the slope is too steep, it is difficult for horses to climb the slope; or because the smell of sulfur is too pungent, so that the horses are reluctant to approach... It is also because when mortals cross this line,
It will be immediately perceived and repelled by the enchantment.
Only the extraordinary and those who hold tokens can move forward—otherwise they will feel more and more chest tightness... Only by leaving the Forbidden Mountain can they recover. And climbing the mountain with this chest tightness, it is entirely possible to die suddenly on the mountainside.
They walked for a long time before finally approaching the top of the mountain.
It is not the same as the small volcanoes that often appear in animation and movies.
The volcano where the lava forbidden tower is located has a diameter of more than 600 meters in the crater alone. Let alone a wizard tower near the crater, if you are not afraid of a volcanic eruption, you can build a university on the spot.
In fact, this is actually the active volcano that is said to have buried the ancient city of Pompeii. Even Pompeii itself was built on lava that solidified after the eruption of this volcano.
At that time, a geographer analyzed Mount Vesuvius and believed that it must be an extinct volcano. People believed his argument and lived a normal life at the foot of the volcano, and even planted various crops on the fertile soil.
Then, less than a hundred years after the argument was made - Vesuvius erupted.
——If this is really a mirror image version of the earth, then this volcano should also be an active volcano.
So how did the lava forbidden tower prevent it from erupting?
Facing Annan's inquiry, Arthur gave the answer.
"Because the lava forbidden tower was not built on the crater, but inside the volcano, Your Majesty."
"internal?"
Annan, who got out of the carriage and followed Arthur, took two steps forward and asked like a curious child: "It shouldn't be the way to directly block the crater."
"certainly."
Arthur nodded.
But he didn't turn his head back, nor did he show a respectful look—he was walking at the front of the team calmly, showing the silver jewelry on his body with the huskies.
And Annan was holding a double-headed scepter and wearing a hood, and followed him like a young apprentice.
——This is also the strategy they discussed before.
And Arthur continued to play his role, explaining without turning his head: "You also know that after the end of the age of elves... all wizard towers need to find their own new energy sources.
"The method of the lava forbidden tower is to extract energy from active volcanoes.
"Supporting the entire Lava Forbidden Tower are four pillars made by ancient alchemists. The supporting pillar itself has a very strong weighing capacity, and it also has a considerable degree of thermal conductivity-in my opinion, that is not so much a Heat conduction, it is better to say that it directly extracts energy.
"They continuously extract the heat from the depths of the volcano into the wizard tower. It consists of four special heat-conducting metal support columns and more than a hundred huge chains. These four support columns are connected to lava in the shape of a triangular prism at one end. The other end of the Forbidden Tower is submerged in the lava.
"In addition, there are more than three hundred huge chains, which lock the body of the lava forbidden tower from all angles, and the other end is nailed to the inside of the volcano."
"...Isn't this binding the Lava Forbidden Tower into a dumpling?"
Husky blurted out: "It feels so astringent."
Arthur reached out and pressed his temple with some headaches: "Although I don't know what a zongzi is...but it is indeed bound. Another name for the Lava Forbidden Tower is the 'Tower of Binding'-this is what it is. Its name in the age of elves is also the oldest name."
"Are you showing off to the girls again, Arthur?"
A deep voice sounded: "Long time no see."
From behind a huge rock on top of the volcano.
With his back against the rock, the man sitting cross-legged stood up.
It was a giant over two meters tall, and his arms were several times thicker than Annan's thighs.
And when he turned around, the ubiquitous sulfur smell in the air suddenly became several times stronger.
In his narrowed pupils, there was a sulfurous luster just like Arthur's.
"Hector... long time no see."
Arthur murmured.
His expression became complicated for a moment, but soon became serious: "Is it your turn to be on duty today?"
"Yes, Arthur."
The squinting-eyed man known as Hector took out the "Item for Lie Detection" produced by Howling White Tower.
"The first question, who are you? The second question is, what are you doing here at the Forbidden Lava Tower?"
Hector asked slowly.
And Arthur paused for a moment, and replied without hesitation: "We are led by two high-level wizards, followed by seven wizards who are one level lower than the leader. In particular, we wizards occupy all the wizarding schools. We form such a team.
"This time...it is this young lady who hopes to come to the Forbidden Lava Tower to promote the many wizard games she invented. If possible, the investors behind her hope to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with the Forbidden Lava Tower."
Everything he said was true.
Therefore, the "detect lies" spell, of course, also passed.
——This is the knowledge provided to Arthur by Annan.
The batch of jade plaques made by Maria actually had a back door.
All types of detection devices based on Edict spells can only give a "yes" or "no" answer. Whether it is detecting poison, detecting lies, or detecting killing intent, in fact, as long as the value is above a certain line set by Maria, it will be judged as "effective".
For example, the "special equipment for guards" used to enter the identity. Although it is possible to judge lies... But as long as the words are all true and only some parts are concealed, it can actually pass the judgment.
That's why Annan put Arthur and Husky in front.
This time, they were actually led by the two gold-ranked Annan and Isaac, followed by the remaining nine silver-ranked transcendents. Except for Celesia and Officia, the remaining seven are wizards.
The lineup of two gold players and nine silver players is simply too luxurious.
Most people don't think in this direction.
And seeing Arthur and Huskies standing at the front, they will definitely subconsciously think about "two silvers and nine bronzes"-in fact, this lineup is already very luxurious.
At least it can be valued to the extent that it is reported separately by the watchman.
Hector sent the information of their group back through the jade tablet of detecting lies with the built-in sound transmission ceremony.
"Well, the registration is complete. You go in... You don't need me to lead the way, Arthur?"
Hector smiled and asked again.
Arthur nodded and ignored him.
Just showing off his iconic proud expression, he passed by the big man. Seeing this, the others didn't talk to each other, but quickly followed behind Arthur.
Until they went far away, the giant-like man was behind, staring at the backs of everyone with a smile on his face.
update completed!
I have something to go out at noon tomorrow, so I can't sleep too late... It's already three o'clock, so let's make a mess first~
I hope that when I come back, I won't become a pussy...
