Wang: "Brother, tell me the truth, what is going on?"
"Ah, you are now the main star of the most popular variety show in the tower, and everyone is watching it. But I have a suggestion, senior brother."
Wang: “You say.”
"Elves are better. They have a long lifespan. A 100-year-old elf can accompany you for a long time. If you choose a human girl, you have to find a way to upgrade her. You need to collect double the upgrade materials."
Wang: "Brother, have you forgotten that I am only in the third ring now?"
"How could I forget? This is the main attraction. We have a bet here. The bet is whether you will open the fourth ring first or get the first blood first. At present, everyone thinks that you will open the fourth ring first. Only a few people, such as me, bet that you will get the first blood first."
Immediately, a complaint came from the side: "Brother Lu, you can't do this! You are interfering with the gambling game!"
"Don't be afraid. Senior Brother Wang is a fool. He is basically the same level of fool as the principal."
"The idiot doesn't affect the shooting."
"Wait a minute, the winner has been decided, run!"
The round-faced senior brother disappeared in a flash, and the sound outside the screen also disappeared in a crackling sound. It was estimated that all the senior brothers and junior brothers who came to join in the fun were teleported away.
Wang's teacher returned to the center of the picture, with ruins behind him.
Wang: "Are Master and Junior Master all right?"
"Reborn back to my room," the old man said, and snapped his fingers. Everything around him returned to normal. Then he looked at Wang seriously, "I'm sorry you interrupted me. I... I had already thought of what to say."
Wang: “Is this my fault?”
Old man: "Serious! Now we are going through the process, you ask questions first."
Wang: "Uh, the tower of Minoan City, that is, what's going on?"
"Can't you just ask nicely? Forget it. That tower appeared when I was still a rookie. When I traveled to Minos, I was also interested in this puzzle.
"I knew the truth immediately. But the reward for this puzzle was not in my destiny. So I chose to do nothing."
The old man paused and pointed at Wang: "It is in your destiny."
Wang: “So what’s the price?”
The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell you 'all of this'. You can choose to reject the gift of fate, but your curiosity won't let you refuse it."
Wang: “Indeed.”
Old man: "Well, that's it."
The screen disappeared.
Everyone was silent.
When we first started communicating, everyone still had the energy to express their opinions, but now we don’t know what to say at all.
Elizabeth spoke first: "What do you mean? Your senior brother asked you to choose Nini? What does it mean to be promoted?"
Wang: "To escape from the flow of time, to become a planeswalker - or a life form similar to a planeswalker. To put it more elegantly, to gain eternity."
Master Mel let out a loud "ah" and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground.
Bernal shouted, "Pastor! Save him! His heart may not be able to bear it!"
The heart bursting due to excessive excitement is not considered a natural death, so it can be revived by using the five-ring magic of resurrection of the dead.
And the Emperor of Monrovia has always been followed by the Five Rings Priest.
The old man trembled as he climbed up again. His wizard robe was covered with the blood that had just spurted out. Judging from the color of the robe, he was already one-third a red-robed wizard.
At this time Elizabeth asked: "So your teacher won't die?"
"Yes, although they haven't turned into liches, they are just like liches. Once they die, they will be reborn in their own workshops."
Archmage Meier: "This is much more advanced than a lich! Even if a lich's phylactery is intact, it still needs to go through a series of rituals to be fully resurrected."
Wang: "It is a little more advanced than the lich."
Elizabeth: "So you're going to choose the elf?"
Wang: "No, but since I have no physical desire for her, there is indeed a possibility between us."
Rosalie, who heard this for the first time, looked confused: "What do you mean?"
This time, Nini was the commentator: "The wizard has a unique perspective on love, following rules that we cannot understand."
Elizabeth: "I understand. This is the devil's conspiracy! Damn devil, it's really a devil!"
Wang: “What else?”
At this time, Monrovia Emperor Bernard interrupted: "Well, I am a little confused about the situation. First of all, Master Mel..."
Mel: "The boundaries of magic are so vast. I'm still an apprentice. Don't call me master."
Bernal: “?”
He immediately put his expression back on track and continued, "Why would you believe it? This could be a scam. He just used an illusion to put on a show. It's possible!"
Mel: "No, this magic is a real nine-ring magic. Even someone as ignorant as me can tell that it has two difficulties. The first is how to accurately locate the target's space-time coordinates in the multiverse. Just locating this ring is already close to the nine-ring prophecy spell.
"Second, how to coordinate the different speeds of time in different planes. As for penetrating planes to transmit information, it is not difficult compared to the previous two points! This is definitely a nine-ring spell."
The emperor was stunned: "What? So..."
"And the spells those people used. Sequence spells have ordinary names, but they are one of the most terrifying spells in the Nine Rings. It can activate three set spells in succession. It only requires one word: activate."
Wang: "Yes, this is basically a spell that all professors in our Mage Tower know."
Mel suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Tell me, how can I join you?"
Wang: "We recruit people to the Mage Tower based on fate. If fate is right, you can join. When I joined, I was a five-month-old baby."
Bernard interrupted again: "Didn't your... senior brother just say that if Elizabeth and you fall in love, you have to help her upgrade, so this should be considered as joining, right?"
Wang: "We also have boiler janitors in our Mage Tower, so this certainly doesn't count as joining. And she's a warlock. Warlocks in our tower are all being studied, and the professor in charge of this project hopes to master the secret of warlocks' spontaneous spellcasting."
Elizabeth: “That’s not impossible.”
Wang: "No, no, your ring number is too low. You need to be at least eight rings to be worthy of research."
Bernard looked at the absent-minded archmage - apprentice?
He looked at the king again.
"Rosalie, your fiancé ran off back to Ordaz, right?"
"Yeah." Rosalie looked like she knew what was going to happen next.
Bernal: "I order you to serve as Monrovia's representative in the Salvation Squad from now on, and to coordinate the negotiations between the Squad and the various forces of the Empire."
Rosalie pulled up her skirt and saluted, "As you command, Father."
Wang: "What do you mean? It's different from what we agreed. I haven't solved the problem yet!"
"Your teacher said that is your destiny. I just decided to trust the judgment of the legendary wizard." The emperor smiled after he said this.
Wang: "I don't like this. Besides, there are too many humans in our team. Other races will question our composition and say we are racist."
Elizabeth was already on high alert, but when she heard the wizard say that, she suddenly became happy.
She had forgotten that this idiot's judgment criteria were different from those of ordinary people.
The devil is well-fed!
Unexpectedly, the king's next sentence was, "But if you don't join the team, there shouldn't be any problem. The Star Chaser already has many human crew members. Now we are still short of laundry, and I don't want to wash my robes by hand."
Rosalie: ?
The wizard continued to speak to himself: "Let's focus on this tower. Since my teacher said that it is a problem I can solve, then it must be."
As he said this he turned around and looked up at the towering tower.
Chapter 113 The lack of an answer is also an answer
Wang looked at the tower and muttered, "My teacher thinks I can definitely solve this puzzle... Junior Master said that we should look beyond the main question and look at the problem from a different angle... In other words, I already have all the information I need, I just need to look at the problem from a different angle."
He stroked his chin, his hand playing with his thin beard.
Elizabeth: "Could it be..."
Wang looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"Uh, sorry, I didn't know what to say until I opened my mouth," Elizabeth said awkwardly, "I just felt like I should do my part."
Rosalie teased, "You could probably hit the tower with a searing ray."
Wang: "It's useless. Various attack spells have already been tried."
After saying that, he seamlessly switched back to his own state of pondering: "Jump out of the question, but I'm not sure what the question is."
Next, Wang kept muttering and thinking, staring at the giant tower in a daze.
A group of people around him didn't dare to say a word and just accompanied him in basking in the sun.
To people who don't understand magic, the Nine Rings' communication spell and the words of those old naughty boys don't have much deterrent effect. What is deterrent is Master Mel's reaction.
The great wizard was frightened to death in front of you, and after he came back to life he humbly said that he was just an apprentice. This was quite shocking.
Everyone waited quietly for half an hour.
The sun was scorching and everyone was sweating profusely. Even the elf Nini had a layer of sweat visible to the naked eye. Elizabeth and Rosalie's clothes were soaked.
Rosalie's sweat even left a mark on her corseted waist.
Suddenly, Wang snapped his fingers.
Rosalie asked anxiously, "Do you understand?"
Wang: "I don't understand. I don't understand what's going on with this tower."
Elizabeth: "What about snapping your fingers?"
"I suddenly realized that there is a loophole in what my teacher said." Wang looked at Elizabeth, completely ignoring her attractive figure in the sweaty state. "My teacher said that when he was traveling in this plane and arrived in Monrovia for the 'first time', he saw through the trick of this tower at a glance."
Emperor Bernard couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem with this?"
"Of course there is a problem. When my teacher first came to Monrovia, he was still a rookie. His journey started from Langdon Territory, so he must have been very young when he arrived in Monrovia. Could it be that he went the other way, crossed the World Mountains first, and then went around before returning to Monrovia?"
Bernal: So?
