Chapter 174 Meeting the Master of the Magic Tower
The spiral staircase feels like stepping on clouds with every step.
Lin Feng followed Brooke Dani to the office of tower master Jed Douglas.
Today is the third day after the second round of assessment.
Lin Feng has slept for more than two days since he was exhausted from using dragon magic last time, and even healing magic could not wake him up.
After sleeping for two full days, Lin Feng woke up naturally. When he woke up, he found himself placed in a ward. Brook Dani had been waiting there, but he did not see Ace and other members of the team.
After learning what happened afterwards, he realized that in the end almost everyone had left the time mirror, and his team won first place with 100 billion points, far exceeding the second place by billion points.
"Mr. Dani, why did the tower master summon me?"
Lin Feng was still a little confused as to why the Lord of the Magic Tower summoned him, as the two had hardly any interactions.
Lin Feng didn’t even know the other person’s name.
But why did they meet at this time instead of earlier? It must be related to what happened in the time mirror.
"Just ask the tower master directly later."
Brooke Dani also knew Lin Feng's true identity at this time.
At the beginning, he felt that Lin Feng looked familiar. It turned out that Lin Feng was not the illegitimate son of a certain magic tower boss, but Ryan Wood, who overthrew the Caesar Empire.
It turns out that the other party was not bragging when he said he was a holy magician, but he really had the ability.
He is so young, but better than me. I am really jealous.
After a while, Lin Feng arrived at the door of a room with a closed door.
Rather than saying that this is the headquarters of the Magic Tower, it is better to say that this is a world made up of countless spaces. Magic elements are flowing everywhere, and even the gate in front of you is engraved with runes.
It is obvious that after opening the door, there will be another world.
"The first test the tower master gives you is to open the door and go in." Brook Dani said to Lin Feng.
The runes on this door were set by the tower master himself, and are more difficult than the runes on the black box that were cracked in the second round of assessment.
After learning about Lin Feng's performance in the trial space, the tower master intends to train Lin Feng as a core member of the magic tower, but if he wants to meet the tower master himself, some small tests are still needed.
Brook Dani did not give Lin Feng any other hints, and also wanted to see if the other party was as powerful as the legend said.
"Is it that simple?" Lin Feng pointed to the door.
"You'll know if it's simple if you try it..." Brooke said with a wicked smile, and before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Feng push open the door. All the magic runes became invalid at that moment, revealing the light in the room.
"opened."
"I go first."
Lin Feng watched Brooke Dani flee the scene at full speed, then turned and walked into the room.
"Meow~"
As soon as I entered the room, I heard a cat's meow.
Lin Feng looked down and saw a black cat licking his shoes, and then scratching its face with its claws. It looked very cute.
But the next second, the cat made a "vomiting" gesture and then staggered away in another direction.
Dead cat...
"Haha, it seems that Xiaobai has something against you."
At this moment, a man's voice came from the corner of the room.
Lin Feng looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white magic robe and a pair of flip-flops standing in front of the window.
"Xiaobai? Isn't he black?" Lin Feng looked at the cat again and glared at it. The cat had turned white at this time. "This..."
"Never mind it, nice to meet you, Ryan Wood." The middle-aged man turned around with a kind smile on his face.
When Lin Feng heard the other party call him "Ryan Wood", he didn't bother to care.
I originally thought that if I changed my name back to Lin Feng, not many people would be able to connect to Ryan Wood. I didn't expect that I couldn't hide my face at all along the way, and there would always be people who could recognize him.
It’s all because Caesar Empire posted his photos all over the country, so it’s hard not to be famous.
"Master Tower Master, you can call me by my current name - Lin Feng."
"Okay, then Lin Feng, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Jed Douglas gestured to Lin Feng to sit down, and he took the lead and sat on a rattan chair.
"Is it because I killed Crest?" Lin Feng guessed.
"You should know that the trial map you are heading to is the Nether Island a year ago, right?"
"I know. Captain Simon told me. But he said that Crest was a variable? The Legion had not fought against Crest a year ago."
"That's right. It means that Crest is still in Nether Island. But we sent people there yesterday. We found the place where he was sealed based on the location where he appeared, but we found that he was not there at all."
"You mean, Crest doesn't exist in this time and space? Could it be that we have come to the wrong place? I saw him emerge from under the Nether Island with my own eyes." Lin Feng frowned.
"There is no mistake. We found traces of the Abyss Lord Azeri in the place where he was sealed, and we also found elemental fragments of time magic."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that someone used time magic to break into the bridge between the past and the present, seeing the past and tampering with the present. Azeri took away the present Crest and also peeked into our trials in the past."
"Azeri peeked into the past, so why didn't he take action against us in the past?" Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
This Demon King of the Abyss actually has such powerful abilities?
"Because he is not powerful enough, he cannot do anything about the past. He can only peek into the past, but cannot change it. And you, as eyewitnesses of the past, are also because of the artifact called the Time Mirror."
"Then will they attack Nether Island?"
"Azeri left us a message, saying that the Lord of the Abyss has awakened, and the calamity of destruction will befall the Magic Continent. Their target is not only the Nether Island, but the entire Magic Continent. In other words, the Magic Continent will soon face a new crisis, and this is related to the Lord of the Abyss."
"What is the Lord of the Abyss?" Lin Feng asked.
"The Abyss Lord is a legendary Abyss Demon who is more powerful than the Abyss Demon King. In human history, the God War in the Ancient City of Shadow Moon was instigated by an Abyss Lord.
In the end, all the gods of magic, sword masters, and god-level powerful beings from other worlds died in that war of gods, and the Lord of the Abyss disappeared without a trace.
For thousands of years afterwards, there was no news about the Lord of the Abyss, so later generations speculated that he also died in the war between gods.
Although I don't know if the Abyss Lord that Azeri mentioned is the one from 5,000 years ago, but one of them has awakened, and the strength of the Abyss Army must be stronger, and perhaps it won't be long before they attack the Magic Continent again." said the Tower Master.
"The strength of the Abyss Demon Lord is above the god level, right? But the disappearance of the last human god of magic 500 years ago, doesn't it mean that no one can stop the Abyss Demon Lord? Even if he is the Abyss Demon Lord, we may not be able to match him, right?" Lin Feng asked.
In fact, this was also a test by Lin Feng.
Through this trial, he roughly understood how powerful the Abyss Demon King was. Only a magician who possessed god-level power could rival him.
But if the Lord of the Abyss is really that powerful, wouldn’t he have invaded the Magic Continent long ago? Why has there been nearly a hundred years of peace?
Obviously, there is a high possibility that a god of magic exists in this world.
Jed looked at Lin Feng meaningfully, as if he understood what Lin Feng was thinking.
"The disappearance of the last God of Magic does not mean that there are no human Gods of Magic, but that there is a problem in the magic world, which has shackled the path to the God of Magic. And those Gods of Magic before the problem arose were not accepted by the rules of today's world, and have all left the magic world." Tower Master Jed threw out a little-known piece of information.
"You mean, the God of Magic still exists? But he is not on the magic continent?" Lin Feng was shocked.
"That's right. Among all the powerful people in the Magic Tower, at least 10 Magic Gods are in other planes, but they can't come back here." The tower master shook his head with a complicated expression on his face. He didn't know whether he should be proud or sad. "Do you know the commander of the S1 army? He is a Magic God who can't return to the Magic Continent."
The fact that the God of Magic cannot return to the Magic Continent is only known to the core senior members of the Magic Tower. Even the middle-level management of the Magic Tower is not qualified to know.
Jide told Lin Feng about this matter and treated him as his own.
"Then isn't the strength of the S1 Legion Commander stronger than yours?" Lin Feng was surprised.
"You can say yes, and you can't say no. This is related to the choice we magicians make. Jenny, Mingo, and I have all reached the limit of what the magic world can tolerate. If we hadn't been compressing our growing magic power, we could go to another dimension at any time and become the God of Magic." said Tower Master Jed.
"Why did problems arise in the magical world, and what problems occurred?" Lin Feng asked.
"The rules of the magic world are missing. We have two suspicions: first, we suspect that they were taken away by an invader; second, it is related to the ancient Seven Star Magic Tower. You should have come into contact with one of the Seven Star Magic Towers, which is also called Morgan. There are six other towers of the same level, and their whereabouts are unknown."
Hearing Morgan's name, Lin Feng nodded, but he didn't know about the Seven Star Magic Tower.
I'm still a little surprised to hear this now.
"I have a question. The previous master of Morgan Tower was Teacher Sadie Maya, and she was the apprentice of Master Jenny Murphy. Doesn't Master Jenny Murphy know about the Seven Star Magic Tower? And how did Master Sadie Maya become the master of Morgan Tower?" Lin Feng asked.
He still had in his mind the letter that Sadie Maya had left for Jenny Murphy, whom he had not yet met and did not know when he would meet her.
"It seems that you know a lot. This is not a secret," Tower Master Jed smiled. "Among the seven magic towers, only the Morgan Tower is always under our control. This is because Jenny is a time magician. Her attributes match those of the Morgan Tower, so she controls it. And her student Sadie Maya is also a time magician whose attributes match those of the Morgan Tower. Because Jenny Murphy is not someone who can sit idle, she gave Morgan to Sadie Maya."
The topic seemed to have strayed a bit, so Tower Master Jed coughed twice and got back to the point.
"Let's not talk about that for now. I called you here today just to ask you if you are willing to become a member of the Magic Tower." asked Tower Master Jed.
"What if I don't want to?" Lin Feng was delighted, but did not agree directly, because in his communication with the tower master just now, he found that he still knew too little about the magical world.
The tower master seemed to be throwing some things at him intentionally or unintentionally. He said a lot of things, but he didn't go into detail about each thing halfway through, deliberately arousing his curiosity.
Jed didn't expect Lin Feng to ask back: "It's okay if you don't want to. Then I might erase what I just told you."
"How could I not be willing? It was just a joke," Lin Feng said with a smile. He did not doubt the strength of Tower Master Jed. "It's just that I haven't participated in the third round of assessment yet. Wait, the third round of assessment wouldn't have ended, right? Minister Brook told me that I slept for two days."
"You don't need to participate in the third round of assessment. You saved everyone during the trial. There is no point in participating in the third round of assessment." said Tower Master Jed.
"Then what should I do after joining the Magic Tower?" Lin Feng asked.
“There are three options:
The first one, you should already know. Our Magic Tower is going to set up a patrol team to go to the three empires to protect the rights of magicians and eliminate unhealthy practices;
Second, as you know, we currently have three legions fighting in the abyss. In addition to the S3 legion led by a legion commander at the level of the God of Magic, the S1 and S2 legions are both led by high-level legendary magicians. Yaheng from S3 has already asked you to join. "
Having said that, Jed suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Feng for his opinion.
"What about the third one?"
"I will only talk about the third one if you are not interested in the first two." Jed was very secretive. What a bad taste.
Lin Feng discovered that the master of the magic tower was not a serious guy. He originally thought that anyone who could sit in this position must be a serious, powerful person with a majestic aura.
"Didn't you invite me to join the inspection team before?"
"That was indeed before, because we didn't know you as well as we do now. The patrol team does represent the Magic Tower, but it is enough to have a Grand Mage leading the team, and you are about to cross the threshold of a legendary magician, which is a bit of a waste of your talent."
"Legendary magician? Tower Master, you must be joking!"
Lin Feng remembered that he was promoted to the 6th-rank Holy Magician when he was in Nether Island. Although his upgrade path was fast, he was still some distance away from the legendary level.
Suddenly, a magic value test crystal ball appeared in front of him.
"It seems that you haven't checked the condition inside your body yet. Try measuring your magic power." Zed pointed at the crystal ball.
Lin Feng put his hand on it doubtfully.
Just then, the crystal ball lit up.
A golden magic value appeared above.
Lin Feng was stunned!
