This mysterious tower has no doors or windows, and even if you fly to the top on a griffin, you won't see any openings.
Over the centuries, countless wizards have tried countless methods, but they still haven't figured out whether the tower is solid.
The most outrageous attempt in all these years was to dig out half of the tower's foundation, only to find that the tower seemed to be floating in the sky - no, it was actually floating in the sky.
At that time, the huge tower hanging in the air caused complete panic, and people said that the day when the tower fell would be the day when Minos would be destroyed.
Finally, Monrovia had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money to invite dwarf craftsmen to come and build a more solid foundation, which put the rumors to rest. As a result, a large dwarf community was formed in Minos, with nearly 10,000 dwarf craftsmen living in Minos.
The neighborhood where dwarf craftsmen live is full of chimneys, and each workshop produces various equipment day and night.
This actually gave Monrovia a trump card to fight against the powerful orcs: "excellent equipment."
On the fifth day of staying in the Royal Library, Wang suddenly put down his book, put his hands into his hair, and rubbed it wildly: "Ahhhhh! I've tried everything!"
The Fifth Prince, who had been watching him, teased, "Why, are you giving up?"
Wang: "There is no other way but to give up. Look, it has been so many years, so many wizards, warlocks, and archaeologists have tried every possible way. In the end, this tower seems to be mocking everyone's efforts, standing quietly like this - or maybe floating.
"Even if it uses the energy core of the Cyclops Empire, it should have run out of energy long ago. No, even if it uses a red furnace to provide energy, it would have burned out long ago. The red furnace is used to refine phlogiston three."
Oscar: "Phlogiston Refining III? What is that?"
Wang: "The magic ship fuel you often see is an extracted isotope of phlogiston."
Oscar looked unconvinced: "Humph, you are just making excuses. Mages are supposed to study, how can a mage like you study? I know that if you have an affair with Miss Elizabeth during the day, Miss Nini will go to your room at night!"
Wang: "Ah, that's right. I'm teaching her magic. To be more precise, I'm teaching her the basic principles of magic."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
Because he was too excited, Oscar's combed hair fell down and covered one of his eyes.
"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 duel with you!"
"Why can't mages duel?"
"Because mages don't know how to use long swords, it would be too cunning for me to duel with a long sword!"
Wang shook his head: "No, no, no, no, my teacher Changjian is very powerful, and he can use Tansen Transfiguration on himself. After using it, he will become a muscular old man, very powerful."
"Humph. I think your teacher is also a liar. You have no real ability at all. You just happened to become part of the legend."
Wang: "Then you just need to kill me and you can see if I'm lying. I'm only in the third ring, so I can't use the triggering technique. Just stab me here and I'll die."
"I won't kill an unarmed person!" Oscar said angrily, "And I will never launch a sneak attack! Let's stop talking about this and get back to your misconduct!"
Wang: "She really came to me to learn magic. You wouldn't believe me if I told you... Haha, actually I was lying to you! Nini came to me to have fun! Let me tell you, the elves' ears are very sensitive at the tips. Just a light breath like this, yes, just this light, and her whole body will tremble! She holds her secondary sexual characteristics with both hands like this..."
Oscar had never heard of such an exciting thing, and his face turned red all of a sudden: "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: "You are a third-ring wizard, aren't you overthinking about teaching others magic?"
Wang: "I have no choice. I was able to cast second-level spells when I was ten years old, and I've been stuck for eight years now. I want to try any method I can. Someone suggested that I try to be a teacher to see if I can deepen my own understanding in the process of teaching, so I accepted the suggestion."
As he spoke, he patted the book in front of him and said, "Just like your ancestors! In order to unlock the secret of this tower, they used all kinds of strange methods. But the tower seems to be laughing at your efforts..."
At this time, someone knocked on the door. Before Wang could answer, the person knocked on the door and came in.
The visitor was Rosalie Myhrvold, the fourth princess of Monrovia.
Oscar asked in surprise: "Aren't you going on an outing with your fiancé?"
Rosalie sighed and said, "Don't mention that useless Odas. He was scared to death by the orc wolf riders. He has returned home now!"
King: "So you are engaged to the prince of Audax? No wonder the two guards at the door of the audience hall are using the etiquette of the Audax court. It turns out they are planning a marriage."
The fourth princess said unhappily, "Yes, that's why I've been accustomed to the traditional dishes of Audax since I turned eighteen, olive oil, onions, and all kinds of paste."
The bodyguard Xiaobai, who was sleeping on the table, suddenly got up and shouted, "Huhu! It's starchy! It doesn't taste good!"
After shouting, she looked at the king and then at the four princesses.
"Da Bo, why did your hair color change?" Xiao Bai, who looked sleepy, recognized people entirely by their secondary sexual characteristics. "Forget it, you stay here and watch, I'll continue to sleep. Don't feed me porridge."
After saying that, she lay back on the table.
The fourth princess: "That's all your guards are? If I come to kill you, you'll be dead."
Wang: "Don't worry, I can sense hostility, and Marika is around. So what you mean is that you have been eating porridge?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiaobai, obviously with bad intentions, wanting to tease Xiaobai again.
However, the werewolf's ears were turned backwards, like a cat's.
The fourth princess directly continued the topic: "The taste of Audas's porridge is okay. But their other habits are too difficult to adapt to. For example, the women's clothes there. The headscarves are beautiful, yes, and the clothes are colorful, but the styles... Oh!"
Wang: “I see.”
"Also, after we get engaged, we do everything we should do, but they can't. They have to behave properly after getting engaged. They don't even allow kissing hands!" Rosalie continued to complain, "If the orcs break through the White Wall this time, I will give my virginity to the barbaric and brutal orcs, and I will give birth to a half-orc."
Wang: "Ah, don't worry about that. Orcs are usually very violent and most won't survive."
Rosalie was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Are you talking about the orcs, or me?"
"You," the king said, "are the reasons why there aren't enough orcs to overthrow human society."
The girl stared at the wizard for a few seconds and said, "You are actually a cold person, right?"
Wang: "I am a mage, I am just more rational. But in the eyes of ordinary people, excessive rationality is the same as cold-bloodedness. So it is not wrong for you to say that I am indifferent."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elizabeth came in without knocking, followed by Nini.
Seeing Rosalie, Elizabeth immediately assumed a "fighting stance."
Rosalie smiled. "Don't be so nervous, sister. I'm already engaged. Although my fiancé has been in Minos for half a year because of the traditions of his country, I'm still a virgin. But I'm getting married and I won't compete with you for the future legendary wizard."
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 Four Princesses: "They have complicated interpersonal relationships."
Rosalie half opened her mouth and paused for half a second before she said, "Ah... I see. I didn't expect the guy to have such complicated interpersonal relationships. What about you?"
Nini: "I am the king's apprentice."
Rosalie looked back and forth between the elf and the mage: "A third-ring mage with an elf mage apprentice? Miss Elf, can you tell me how old you are?"
There are a lot of red tape 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 Ms.
But the elves don't have this taboo. Their lifespan is as long as that of dragons. So asking about their age won't be a big deal. At most, some short-lived races will be stimulated.
Nini: "I am 100 years old and I still have five years to become an adult."
King: "She traveled to improve her archery skills and find a suitable name for herself. Elves have to give themselves a name when they reach adulthood. Nini is just a nickname."
Rosalie raised an eyebrow. "So how old are you, Mage?"
Wang: “Eighteen years old.”
Rosalie: "Are you sure you can teach her magic?"
Nini: "He can indeed. We elves have a natural interest in magic, but I have never been able to grasp the key. His teachings are different from those of our elven wizards. There is no mysterious beauty of magic, only quantitative analysis."
Wang: "We have introduced some concepts of planes that follow different technical routes into our Mage Tower. The individual spellcasters in these planes are very weak, but they can use props and calculations to cast powerful magic."
Rosalie was shocked. "So you're just teaching her for free? According to you, isn't this very valuable knowledge? Or has Miss Elf already paid for it?"
She looked up and down the elf's gourd-shaped body meaningfully, her eyes lingering for a long time on the base of her long legs.
Wang: "She did pay. The elf's understanding of magic has greatly broadened my horizons. I always thought that the basis of magic was mathematics, but in the eyes of the elf, the basis of magic is art and imagination.
"I have previously neglected my knowledge of art and lack imagination, which may be the reason why I cannot perform fourth-circle magic."
Rosalie: That's it?
"That's it. Knowledge for knowledge, very worthwhile." Wang said.
Elizabeth looked at Rosalie with some pride: "You must have thought it wrong. I heard that the court and social scene in Monrovia are very chaotic. It seems to be true."
Rosalie also laughed: "Indeed, there are not many girls who can keep themselves clean in the social circles of Monrovia. Sometimes during a dance, playing hide-and-seek in the maze in the garden will make you pregnant.
"The noble girls of Monrovia gossip about who has gone to see a black doctor, who has used abortion magic, and who has torn up a remove disease scroll that may have removed syphilis."
Wang was shocked: "Is it such a big deal? What about you?"
“I’m from another faction.”
The king and Elizabeth read together: "Another faction?"
"Yes, the school that believes chastity has its value. Our school generally keeps itself clean because we are precious weapons 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 on?"
Elizabeth: "I am a warlock. My value lies in the ability to emit 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 here?”
Oscar said angrily, "Of course I'm here! My duty is to supervise you in solving the puzzles of the White Tower! And now you're chatting with a woman! You bastard!"
The king turned around and asked the fourth princess: "Is your brother not very popular in social circles?"
Rosalie smiled and replied, "No, he is very popular, but once he is surrounded by white breasts and thin waists, he will immediately be at a loss. After all, he is a shy boy who hides his pants and doesn't want the maids to find him."
Wang: “Did you find out in the end?”
"They found out. The maids were secretly happy for several days and even teased him, saying, 'Your Highness, this shows that you are growing up healthily.' In the end, he got so angry that he asked the Queen Mother to replace him with a full set of male servants to take care of his daily life."
Wang: "Then isn't his daily life a bit like my life in the Mage Tower? When I was a child, my teacher and several uncles drew lots to decide who would take care of me. Then my teacher built a golem specifically to take care of me. Someone contracted a succubus to take care of me, and the most outrageous one found a devil to change my diapers."
Rosalie's eyes widened. "My Lord, your story is much more interesting than the stories told by the boys at the salon. I should take you to the salon. You will soon become a core figure!"
