Blood of Mercury

As soon as An Ruosi woke up, he was taken aback by the shabby surroundings.

I saw huge cracks appear on the walls, the ground cracked, the soil turned up, and even the rock formation above my head had many cracks, and the bright red sunset light came down from above and happened to shine on his face.

It was as if there had been some war before.

An Ruosi originally wanted to talk to Esther again, but he seemed to have something to do with the woman named Elucado. Before An Ruosi could look at the surrounding environment, he hurried. drove him away.

... An Ruosi also knew that he couldn't be a light bulb, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction with it.

However, he has nowhere to go now. In a nutshell, it's a pain in the ass.

His friends were not many. For some reason, both Robert Roland and Claudia have lost contact with An Ruosi.

As for Natalia, An Ruosi's feelings for her are more like the feelings between her sister's mother and the master. After the advanced stage, An Ruosi's spirit obviously got a bit of **, and she didn't rely on and care about her as much as before.

It turned out that An Ruosi would panic if she didn't contact Natalia for a day. But after leaving Baita for three months, his feelings for her gradually cooled down.

Anyway, we have known each other for three or four years, and it is no problem to leave it for a few months.

An Ruosi had such thoughts in her mind.

But An Ruosi's vacation lasted for more than three months, and now he has returned successfully in only two and a half months.

He originally wanted Robert to take Claudia and Roland for a walk in the White Tower. After all, An Ruosi belongs to the kind of wizard who devotes himself to the study of sorcery not once a year. If Roland asks him white He couldn't say for a while what was interesting about the tower.

This is where he admires Robert.

While studying sorcery, Robert played everywhere in the White Tower every day, but the level of sorcerer was much higher than that of An Ruosi.

In An Ruosi's view, this is the real genius. You are just a mortal.

Now that Robert can't be contacted for a while, An Ruosi has also faded the idea of ​​looking for Claudia and Roland.

Roland is probably with Natalia now.

Natalia knows that when she is upset, she likes to drag girls to talk to her about peace of mind. He has been used to it for so many years.

Instead, it was Claudia. But An Ruosi couldn't remember when she disappeared.

It stands to reason that Claudia should not be the kind of person with a low sense of existence, but now she has disappeared without a sound.

But anyway, if Anvilia really wants to do something, she can't stop herself. Therefore, An Ruosi immediately put down her worries after realizing this.

After thinking about it, An Ruosi made a sad discovery. You have nowhere to go.

So he simply planned to cancel his vacation ahead of schedule and go back to the second tower to find Mr. Tanas to make up for "Stars and Tides".

All astrological wizards know it. Their deputy director, Mr. Tanas, was particularly excited when he was lecturing. When he was excited, he would speak faster, but his tongue was not good enough. When he spoke too fast, he couldn't speak clearly...

This directly led to a very high failure rate in the three courses "Astrology and Creature Demonization", "Astrology and Wind Erosion", and "Astrology and Tide"...

Last year and the year before, An Ruosi went to Tanas to take supplementary lessons after finishing the exam. It took an extra month to fully understand the first two courses.

Although An Ruosi finally graduated with full honors this year, in the course "Astral Signs and Tides", An Ruosi only studied in a targeted manner with the goal of passing the exam. It can be said that he did not understand the essence of this course at all.

When An Ruosi was studying the theoretical part of the five-ring witchcraft "Overweight" and the spellcasting technique "Locking and Casting". It caused a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But after An Ruosi was teleported to the ground by Esther, he realized that Teacher Tanas might not be available tonight.

A huge noise like thousands of birds chirping at the same time was constantly coming from the second tower. Intense throbbing electric light made half of the night sky pale.

The light that kept jumping and flickering was impossible to look directly at.

An Ruosi just wanted to see the runes that appeared around the second tower, but the electric light jumping around made his eyes sore and almost burst into tears.

He just hesitated a little, and decided to enter the second tower to see the situation.

But as soon as he walked into the second tower, he was taken aback by the lively situation inside.

The light sources in the tower are all turned on. The magic circles on the walls were all lit up, and the gems embedded in the magic circles radiated dazzling light. The mana visible to the naked eye is scattered in the air, and from time to time it wraps itself around to form several runes and then disperses.

The wizard apprentices are like dockers in the Qingni District of Caral, running around with large bags of Wingwood gold coins; while the official wizards keep standing at the nodes to start the sacrifice process, converting the jins and jins of gold coins into jins of gold coins. Pure magic.

This astrological station and library is as quiet as the fifth tower on weekdays. At this moment, it has become some kind of factory-like existence.

For some reason, An Ruosi did not see a wizard outside the astrological system.

He roughly estimated the number of people, and An Ruosi found that almost all the people in the astrological system were here.

If the second tower is suddenly destroyed by the gods at this time. I am afraid that there will be no astrological wizards in the world of Farns.

An Ruosi was really frightened.

He was motionless among the noisy crowd, but he didn't know what to do, and for a while he had the illusion of being abandoned by the whole world.

"An Ruosi? Are you back?"

A familiar hurried voice came from beside him.

An Ruosi turned her head and saw a rickety old man.

His beard is half gray and half white, his small eyes are narrowed into slits, his face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, and he speaks in a hoarse but hurried and vague voice, an ancient but clean whitish gray. The wizard's robe shrouded him in shadow.

Holding a pile of books in his arms, he walked swayingly. An Ruosi even doubted whether he would fall directly.

It was Deputy Director Tanas.

"Just give it to me."

An Ruosi took the book from his arms without hesitation.

Compared with the Starcaller who looks at most thirteen or fourteen years old, Tanas, who is less than half the age of the Starcaller, is the person who best fits the impression of an "old wizard" in An Ruosi's mind.

Tanas consciously missed the path to awakening. So he put all his energy into the teaching of wizard apprentices. It hasn't changed for hundreds of years.

Not just wizards of the astrological system. The old man Tanas wandered around the entire White Pagoda every day when he had nothing to do. From time to time, I would catch a few apprentices who wanted to sneak out to play and talk about it, but never reported to the mentors of these little wizards.

The students he taught accounted for three-quarters of the wizards who were still instructing the White Tower. Even Dreamwalker Clavi and Secret Keeper Merlin are his students.

therefore. Tanas can be said to be the most respected person by wizards in the entire White Tower besides the tower owner.

How busy is it? Will other wizards watch this old man go to work himself?

A huge curiosity gradually rose from An Ruosi's heart.

"Come with me, Xiao An Ruosi."

After Tanas gave the book to An Ruosi, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly walked towards the floating stone slab.

As he walked, he explained to An Ruosi: "The astral world is vast and indistinguishable. In order to leave a return coordinate for Palbuchko, all the astrological wizards maintain the magic circle here."

"But why did you take so many books?"

"Because... we may have discovered the secrets of the world."

Tanas's tone paused for a while before slowly speaking to An Ruosi.

While speaking, the floating stone slabs kept going up. In the blink of an eye, he and An Ruosi were brought up ten levels.

"Fourteenth floor?"

An Ruosi couldn't help showing a surprised look: "Is it okay for me to come here?"

"Your permissions were updated by Parbuchko yesterday. Now you can enjoy the same treatment as me in the second tower."

While explaining, Tanas pressed his right hand on the door tremblingly.

The real door suddenly vanished.

An Ruosi suddenly saw the scene inside:

In the middle of the thick purple light beam composed of fine runes, a huge golden disc with a diameter of about ten meters stood suspended in the air, and the voice of Parbuchko kept coming out of the central part that was constantly rotating like a vortex nebula. , the instructors of the Astrology Department are writing and recording, and some teaching assistants are constantly flipping through the materials.

An Ruosi stood at the door and could hear the familiar voice of the star caller.

"It can be confirmed that the sun is really Tyre's kingdom of God... I passed him by just now, and he doesn't seem to care about me."

"I'm seeing the White Tower for the second time now... Ladies and gentlemen, note that the moon has no entity. Nor is it a sphere, but a brand on the wall of Orm."

"...Everyone, I'm pretty sure right now. The planet I made earlier was wrong."

"The world of Faens is not a ball, and the astral world is not an infinite ocean that wraps the world of Faens... The astral world is very small. I have just walked around the wall of Aum."

"Everyone, please remember, what I said below is likely to be the truth of the world... It is the truth that was hidden by the false gods before the Seven Sages had time to tell us."

"If the world is an egg, we do not live in the outer layer of the eggshell, but in the inner layer we live in the position of the egg white, and we live on the eggshell. The yolk is the astral plane. The eggshell is the wall of Gaia. , and the boundary between the egg white and the yolk is the wall of Aum."

"Yes. Everyone... our world is not infinite, but it can't be smaller. The false gods do not roam freely among the sea of ​​stars. They are trapped in the narrow astral world like prisoners."

"I suspect that our world may be a sanctuary...beyond the eggshell, maybe some kind of boiling water that we can't bear...I don't know what that is, but please pay attention."

"...Wait, everyone. The wall of Gaia in the south is broken. I smell some kind of danger... yes~www.NovelMTL.com~ something that makes me feel the danger too. Go and inform the southern people. Country, something's coming in... dammit, I hope it catches up."

"I seem to have found the backstage of the Wall of Orm, it is not hidden... These false gods are simply illiterate, they don't understand the Wall of Orm at all..."

"...Wait, everyone. Let me ask, does anyone here want to be a god?"

Suddenly, the waker's voice paused. The wizards who were recording something quickly stopped their pens.

Incredible silence spread across the room.

The words of the star caller made this small laboratory suddenly boil

"I just found instructions that can turn mortals into gods or deprive gods of their authority, and let them fall to the ground again. I'm not kidding." To be continued.

ps: The important chapters that are close to 4,000 words, I will continue to chapter, and send them as New Year's Day gifts... Happy New Year's Day to everyone.
