$1093 Scholar's Tower
The Scholar Tower, standing on the southwest side of Dark Wing City, is said to have been built by researchers who were unwilling to participate in any disputes and only wanted to concentrate on their studies.
Since its creation, the vanity or honor of being able to enter and become a part of it has attracted many fanatics who are obsessed with a certain research.
It is not easy to have the title of "scholar" awarded by the Scholar Tower, because although the Scholar Tower is not a strict organization, its requirements for academic development are quite strict, so it becomes quite difficult to join.
The strength, realm, implicit power or authority possessed by the joiner has no effect on whether he can join. The only criterion for the Scholar Tower to judge whether a person can join is whether he is willing to work hard for a breakthrough in a research topic throughout his life.
Zachli, who returned to Dark Wing City with Raymond, was panicking because of fear, and instinctively wanted to stay away from here. However, facing the unavoidable situation in front of him, Zachli could only selectively forget the fear of his mentor and guardian, Scholar Warren.
Because in his current cognition, Raymond, a senior who had stayed briefly at the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy, has shown a level of terror and ferocity that he cannot disobey, and it is not the level that his mentor, Scholar Warren, can compare with, because these two people are not at the same level at all.
Zachli, who was a little delusional, has now untied the fixation on his body, but because of his fear of the man standing on the head of the Golden Winged Giant Eagle, he hides behind Elifer like a frightened little beast, answering Raymond's questions through Elifer's voice transmission.
Raymond, who was holding the old woman who had cleared the mud from her body, had the strange existence of a young girl around him disappear, but he was a little surprised when he faced the building called "Scholar's Tower" in front of him.
Wizards prefer to build a tall, large, extremely solid and multi-functional wizard tower for themselves. It not only gives them extra protection, but also demonstrates their wealth, strength and many other aspects that they can be proud of.
But this strange black building in front of him, which was supposed to be pure white, but now has become dull and decadent due to the passage of time, really cannot be associated with the name of the Scholar's Tower.
Although the whole building is still round, there are four tall spires on its top. On the top of the tower surrounded by these four very abrupt spires, there is a complete rune array constructed with huge bluestone.
The entire talisman array is extremely complex and precise, but the materials used to construct the talisman array have long been weathered under the erosion of wind and rain. Raymond could not think of any reason to re-activate such a talisman array, let alone make it play its original effect.
Just after ordering the golden-winged giant eagle under him to circle around the top of the tower twice, the guards in the four spires jumped out and seemed very dissatisfied, so Raymond, who had lost the mood to continue watching, asked through Elifor's voice transmission. "Can we find Warren directly without going through the gate?"
As early as when Raymond ordered it to climb to the top of the Scholar's Tower and start circling, the golden-winged giant eagle, who knew the rules of the Scholar's Tower clearly, was frightened and trembling all over, and Zachli, whose face looked a little blue because of the cold or fear, had already lost the desire to explain the rules here, and said numbly when he heard the voice. "This is the Scholar's Tower. But flying beasts are strictly prohibited from approaching here, and it is not allowed to break in without going through the main gate. Because that is equivalent to contempt for the Scholar's Tower..."
Without waiting for Raymond to send a voice. Elifor, who was acting as a mouthpiece, pulled Zachli's collar with his hands behind his back. "Just tell me whether you can or can't!"
"From the main entrance of the Scholar's Tower, count up to the 17th floor. The fifth floor-to-ceiling window with a warning force field from right to left leads to the laboratory of the Warren Scholar..."
The voice was rigid and dull, but after answering, Zachli soon noticed that the golden-winged giant eagle under him was swooping down, so he found that his eyes were black and his legs became weak.
Warren Scholar was famous for his bad temper, and he was not qualified to bring people here to ask him for help. Not to mention that he wanted him to help after seriously violating the regulations of the Scholar's Tower. His only guardian was not a good person to talk to...
Zachli, whose mind was in chaos, sat down slowly, because the magic released by Raymond on him made it impossible for him to faint now, but even if he was given a boosting magic like courage and determination. But the fear from the depths of his heart could not be offset by these enhancement spells...
Raymond, standing on the head of the golden-winged giant eagle, could understand Zachli's fear and deep resentment towards him, but now he was eager to see the Warren scholar, because the old woman he held by his side had become weaker and weaker, and she could die completely at any time.
He did not know the spells of refining the dead or extracting souls, and only then did he realize that among the spells he had mastered for many years, there were actually areas that he had missed and had never touched before.
But when the golden-winged giant eagle came to the window of Warren scholar's laboratory, Raymond quickly gathered his mind and carefully examined the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The French window with isolation and shielding effect also has a triggered warning force field, and after being triggered, it will be counterattacked by a level 4 single magic.
These secret settings are invisible under Raymond's perception and detection, but he has no way to remove them in a short time, because there has been a faint commotion under the scholar tower, so he directly released a void slash and hit it directly.
After a muffled bang, a faint alarm sounded, and the single counterattack magic triggered by the French window was immediately offset after touching the protective barrier on his body surface.
Then he jumped in, and Elifor grabbed Zachli and jumped in, but the golden-winged giant eagle that was left in place was extremely depressed, because Raymond's order to it was to ask it to wait in the air, and there was no intention to settle the fee and end its employment!
But after the Golden-winged Giant Eagle lowered its head, sighing inwardly, it saw those powerful tower guards rising rapidly, and the target would undoubtedly be its huge self, so it was frightened and trembled all over.
The Golden-winged Giant Eagle, who knew the prohibition of the Scholar Tower clearly, immediately found that it dared not disobey the man who hired it, and it was impossible to deal with the questioning of these tower guards, so it simply made up its mind and slammed into the already damaged French window!
The sound of bang bang bang was louder than when Raymond broke the French window before, and the walls that were crushed and smashed by its body also fell down one after another, but the Golden-winged Giant Eagle, which was ten meters long, finally rushed in with brute force, but when it saw the scene in front of it clearly, its eyes bulged out, and for a moment it actually hoped that it could be scared to faint!
Raymond, holding the old woman, stood in the center of the laboratory. Beside him was Zachli, who was trembling and trying to faint but couldn't, and behind him was Elivore, who was stunned.
The whole laboratory was filled with the smell of acid. Beside Raymond were two overturned test benches that should have been in use. Two overturned heaters were still burning on the floor. Next to the pools of liquid that were still emitting various colors of smoke were broken pieces of utensils.
The old man with white hair and beard, holding a test tube in his left hand and holding a boiling solution in his right hand, was standing sideways in front of an overturned test bench. His expression was blank and dull, and his lips were trembling but no sound came out.
Raymond, who had pulled Zachli to his side, was very confused when facing the old man in front of him who was weak and had no energy fluctuations but was conducting some kind of experiment. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask Zachli. "Didn't you say this is Warren's laboratory? Why is there only such an ordinary old man?" (To be continued...)
