Chapter 554: The Real Magician's Tower! (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates!)
The valley was very wide, at least as big as a district in Alice's East City.
At this time, there were quite a few tents sparsely set up in the valley, gathering at least a thousand people.
Of course, what attracted Gervis's attention was not the tents and the crowds, but the exquisite palace buildings that rose one after another in the center of the valley.
In the center of this palace building there is a tall tower, which does not look like the towers in China on Earth.
It is truly built with special and precious stones, and there are six thick stone pillars around it that are half as tall as the tower, echoing each other.
Gervis estimated that the tower was at least a hundred meters high, and the six stone pillars were at least thirty meters high.
Both the tall tower and the six surrounding stone pillars are engraved with dense runes, all of which shine with a gray-black light, which represents the color of the necromancer's magic power.
Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing is the top of the tower, which is also the real reason why Gervis was stunned.
I saw a huge energy ball floating on the top of the tower, just like the energy towers in the games of my previous life.
It’s just that this time Gervis saw it with his own eyes, and the scale of the magician’s tower was even more massive.
The gray-black ball of light suspended on the top of the tower was constantly absorbing the magic power between heaven and earth. Its diameter was at least five or six meters.
As it continues to absorb magic power, the surface of the energy ball will rhythmically expand and shrink and float up and down, repeating this over and over again like a black hole that is devouring magic power.
It is not known whether it is to stabilize the energy ball or has other uses, but the six stone pillars around the tower are connected to a thick iron chain, which extends into the energy ball.
"How about it? Shocking, right? Harry, this is the greatest miracle of the human race, the Wizard's Tower!"
At this moment, Laci has already come out of Gervis's words "The scarlet moon appears, and the orcs will be in disaster."
Seeing Gervis staring blankly at the magician's tower in the distance, Laci did not urge him to move forward. He just stood there, looking at the magnificent tower and asked Gervis.
"It's really shocking! This is the first time I've seen a real magician's tower! It's more majestic and magnificent than I imagined!"
Gervis told the truth. He had been influenced by his preconceived ideas and thought that the Magician's Tower was just like the towers in China in his previous life, magnificent and exquisite, used to allow the magician to lead a shameless life.
However, I didn't expect that the real magician's tower would be such a fantasy energy tower. Although it lacks some refinement and luxury, its majestic aura would make anyone feel awe after seeing it, no matter who it is as long as their strength has not reached a certain level.
"Let's go, Harry! We've seen enough, let's go back to the tent!"
"I'll show you after you've rested up. The magic circle in the palace ahead should be broken in the next two days. Then we'll be able to see the majestic appearance of the magician's tower up close!"
"Such opportunities are rare even in the Alliance Academy. Although there are several magicians in the Academy's Elder Council, only one or two of them have the financial resources to build their own magician tower. Moreover, few people can enter and view the tower normally."
Feeling that they had stopped to watch enough, Laci was worried that Adela would wait too long, so he urged Gervis.
Gervis nodded, then retracted his gaze and moved forward again with Lachi and the others.
He really needs a good rest now. In the past few days, he didn't dare to stay in one place for too long. He was traveling day and night, for fear that Lolita would chase him.
Soon, under the leadership of Lach, Gervis came to a camp with only seven or eight tents. Looking at the number of guards around, Gervis couldn't help but frowned.
This number is half less than when they left.
Perhaps seeing Gervis's expression, Lachi explained to Gervis: "Although we escaped that wave of orcs' pursuit because of your blocking, we encountered many orcs' pursuits afterwards, so most of our guards were sacrificed one after another."
"Fortunately, we met more adventurers at that time, and we traveled together and finally arrived at the valley of the magician's tower!"
Gervis nodded and said nothing more. The corpses on the road were enough to prove how dangerous the journey was for Laci and his companions.
Next, Lackey took Gervis to the campfire in the camp.
I don’t know whether it was Lachi’s intentional protection or just good luck, but the two cooks in the group were actually intact.
The two cooks started working at Lachi's command and soon grilled several kilograms of delicious barbecue.
Gervis didn't hesitate and started to feast on the food accompanied by Adela, Laci and others.
At the same time, we also talked about some knowledge about the magician's tower or the necromancer.
During the conversation, Gervis finally learned why the rich girl Adela came to the Magician's Tower to adventure in person.
It turns out that this magician's tower is most likely the magician's tower of the famous genius necromancer Neham in history.
This wizard Nahum can be said to be the most talented necromancer in more than a thousand years.
He became a wizard at the young age of thirty-something, and had his own magician tower when he was around fifty.
Not only is he powerful, he also likes to study all aspects of necromancy.
Not only did he improve a lot of undead magic to make it more powerful, but he also cultivated the heart of the undead.
Generally speaking, the IQ of most dark creatures is relatively low. For example, dark creatures such as undead skeletons all act on instinct, and only a few high-level skeletons have a little wisdom.
However, it is said that the Heart of the Undead cultivated by the wizard Nehum can gradually enable even the lowest-level gray skeleton to gain consciousness and be able to think.
Don't underestimate this.
Take the group of skeleton soldiers that Gervis and his companions encountered under the moonlight fruit tree. If the red skeleton wizard had no intelligence, he would have appeared in front of everyone at the first moment and there would have been no possibility of a sneak attack on Adela.
It only takes one or two fireballs for Gervis and his men to destroy them.
But it was precisely because the Skeleton Mage possessed a little wisdom and knew how to ambush and attack that they finally paid the price of a Golden Knight.
One of the purposes of Adela's visit this time was to see if she could find a way to cultivate the Heart of the Undead.
Another purpose is to see if there is any psychic potion in the palace in the center of the valley.
