At this time, Marika came back and reported to the king as soon as she appeared: “There are no traps on the road leading to the tower gate. There are a few things that look like defensive devices, but like this golem, they have stopped working.

“I checked the door. It can’t be opened from the outside. I might need to knock it open.”

Wang scratched his head and said, “Then let’s go over there. I have a knocking magic staff that can be used nine times.”

Marika: “I don’t understand. Isn’t it inconvenient that the door can’t be opened from the outside?”

“Is it possible that there is an intelligent golem in this tower that can help open the door?” Wang said.

Flint became interested as soon as he heard this: “An intelligent golem! Can’t a golem generally only perform set tasks?”

Wang: “Think about the divine calculations on the floating islands. We also have many semi-intelligent golems in our Mage Tower.”

“Your Mage Tower and the Cyclops Empire are both out of the ordinary. Why don’t you mention that your Mage Tower has a bunch of legendary mages and planeswalkers?” the dwarf responded.

Marika: “This way.”

Chapter 307 The owner of the tower is also a wonderful person

Everyone soon saw the first mechanism, a pillar with a crystal on top and a half-moon-shaped arc around it.

The king stepped forward, observed it carefully and said, “This crystal is a source of energy. As long as we inject magic power into it, we can make this mechanism work. It will emit hellfire rays at creatures that enter the range.”

Flint was amazed. “A mechanism can actually fire six-ring magic. He is indeed a powerful wizard who can control the Aboleth.”

Elizabeth took a step forward and came to the king’s side: “Can you explain this device to me? Maybe it can enlighten me…”

The king looked at the princess and reminded her, “You have just learned Fireball and become a third-ring warlock.”

Elizabeth: “Maybe? After all, I look like this, maybe I can skip the fourth and fifth rings and go straight to the sixth ring?”

Wang: “The only way you can do this is to single out a beholder, and then you can fire all kinds of rays using the eye necklace you are holding.”

Elizabeth pouted.

The king sighed and began to explain: “Look at this crescent-shaped outline. A Hellfire Ray spell is fixed using the magic constant spell, and the runes here can channel the energy stored in the crystal into the spell. The principle is just like when I used the Cyclops energy core to charge your spell before.”

Elizabeth: “Does magic still require energy?”

Wang: “As something of the idealistic side, it generally doesn’t need to be injected. After all, the idealistic side believes in following the heart. If you launch magic with your subjective will, magic will be launched.

“But this device does not have its own independent will. The Hellfire spell that is constantly on it needs to be driven by the will of the owner. But if you want it to act automatically, you need an external source of magic power.”

“Oh.” Elizabeth nodded, but Wang was not sure whether she understood.

The king ignored her and directly removed the empty crystal inside the device. He then tried to see if he could remove the half-moon-shaped ring that stabilized the spell, but failed.

Flint said, “Leave it to me, you guys explore the front first.”

As he said this he took out his hammer from his dimensional bag.

The king nodded to Marika.

Marika: “There’s the gate up ahead, and there are a few more of these devices on the road.”

**

The gate of the tower was covered with a huge pattern. The king held up the dragon head staff and moved closer to study it.

Marika: “Do you recognize the words on it?”

Wang: “I’m not sure if you will believe this, but the text on it doesn’t match any of the text I know. But as a decorative painting, it seems too serious.”

Elizabeth: “Ask the Aboleth?”

When everyone looked back, the demon fish was still lying on the far shore and had not caught up with them at all.

On the way to the shore, Flint was struggling with the first mechanism.

The king took out his knocking staff and said, “Forget it. It doesn’t matter if these things on the door are decorations or some kind of text. Let’s go in first. This tower belongs to the tower of the great wizard who can control the aboleths.”

After saying that, he activated his staff, but the door didn’t move at all.

Marika: “Why am I not surprised at all?”

The king frowned and approached the door: “Is it a puzzle?”

Marika: “There is no mechanism on the outside of the gate. I checked many times and there is no mechanism around it. There are no bricks that can be pressed, no iron rings that can be pulled, and there is not even a statue that seems to be a guard.”

Wang was shocked: “There is no magical light on this door. It doesn’t look like it can automatically identify the person in front of it.”

Elizabeth: “What then?”

Wang: “Generally, this kind of door is most likely voice-controlled, or it may use some means that can penetrate the door and reach the control mechanism behind it, such as vibration.”

Wang started knocking on the door, then found that it was so heavy that he could hardly knock it even with the ogre power gloves.

Seeing his frown, Marika said, “I’ll go around and see if there’s another way.”

Wang nodded.

Thirty minutes later, Marika returned to the main entrance and found Wang still standing in front of the door, maintaining the same posture as when she left.

Elizabeth and Nini were already sitting nearby to rest, and Xiaobai was even more straightforward, just lying on the ground.

Only Gaotrick was still standing nearby like a watchtower, alertly guarding the surroundings.

Marika: “No clue?”

Wang nodded: “Indeed not. The problem is that I can’t understand the words on the door.”

Xiaobai rolled on the ground and lay there looking at Wang: “I thought you were proficient in all the characters in this plane.”

“In fact, I am proficient in all the characters in most planes. I speculate that the characters on the door are some kind of self-created characters. If I can find more of these characters, I may be able to analyze their structure and deduce their meaning through comparative analysis.

“I’m pretty good at cryptography after all.”

The king muttered to himself.

Xiao Bai snickered: “After all the talk, he still can’t drive. Da Congming is finally going to fail!”

Marika: “Why are you so happy?”

“Well, think about it, everyone here will flip over, except Da Congming, right? Now that he flips over, the distance between him and us has shortened!” Xiaobai said as he began to roll on the ground.

Elizabeth held her down: “Don’t do that, your clothes are dirty.”

Nini: “Just now you looked like a wild boar rolling in the mud.”

“You are the boar! I am a wolf! A wolf!”

At this time, Flint came back panting, holding up the crescent-shaped metal in his hand: “Finally got it! This thing actually uses a very ancient mortise and tenon structure, which is quite complicated. Hmm? Why haven’t you opened the door yet?”

The king turned his head and looked at the dwarf. “Flint, do you remember the symbol on this door?”

“You have no idea, and you ask me?” The dwarf stepped forward, stroking his beard while looking up at the symbol on the door. “No, I have no impression. I am just a dwarf who is several hundred years old. I am not as good as you who has stayed in such a high-end wizard tower for eighteen years.”

The king was shocked. It was only then that he noticed Marika and asked, “Is there another way?”

The drow shook his head.

Wang: “Then there is nothing we can do.”

He raised his head and looked at the top of the Mage Tower: “This Mage Tower also has no windows. We can only go to the top of the tower to have a look. Maybe there is a way to get in from the top of the tower.”

Xiao Bai was happy: “Hahaha, Da Congming finally failed!”

King: “Stop talking nonsense and transform into a griffin!”

“Yes, yes.” Xiaobai stood up, patted the mud on his body, and turned into a griffin in a snap.

Wang turned over and rode up, saying to the others, “Wait for a while down below. We may have to set up camp here later.”

After saying that, he patted the griffin’s neck, and the white griffin flew into the sky.

Everyone craned their necks to watch it fly to the top of the tower.

Then the king’s laughter floated down from the top of the tower.

“Hahahaha, the owner of this tower is also a wonderful person. He actually goes against logic.”

Elizabeth shouted, “What’s going on?”

The king waved his hand down below: “The entrance to the tower is up there. The door down there was probably made so big and conspicuous on purpose!”

Chapter 308 The Hut Left Behind by Our Predecessors

Elizabeth shouted to the king flying in the sky: “You have to let Xiaobai come down to pick us up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Nini sprinted towards the wall, forced her way up by pushing against the wall, and grabbed a protruding brick about four meters above the ground.

Then she swung and grabbed a brick higher up.

The elf quickly climbed to the top of the tower by relying on the protruding bricks on the wall.

Everyone looked at Marika.

Marika spread her hands and said, “I am a drow. I don’t have her vertical mobility.”

Franka floated in front of Marika: “Maybe I can take you up.”

As it said this, it put Wang’s Xiaobai down and fell to the ground with a “click”.

Elizabeth was shocked: “Is this what a griffin calls?”

The dwarf waved his hand. “She’s being weird.”

At this time, Franka stretched out her tentacles in front of Marika: “Come and try it!”

Marika looked a little reluctant, but still grabbed Franka’s tentacles. The moment she grabbed them, the tentacles rolled up her hands, and then Furu happily sprayed pink smoke and rushed to the top of the tower like a rocket.

However, Marika stood still and Furu took away only her gloves.

Zhuo Er looked at his bare hands and shook his head: “I knew it wouldn’t work. I’d better ride Xiao Bai with the princess.”

Gotrek: “I’ll wait down below.”

“Why?” Flint was surprised.

Gotrek: “It’s inconvenient.”

Dwarf: “You mean in and out? Indeed. If I think about it, it’s not convenient for me to go in and out. Then I’ll wait downstairs with you. We can also have some wine.”

The only magical ability the dwarf obtained was to turn water into wine. The advantage of this was that he could always have wine to drink wherever he went.
