Dawn of the Grey Tower

This middle zone, called the window area, is actually quite different from a real secular town. Although its facilities are complete, the people walking there are somewhat indifferent, at least here you don’t see it. When it comes to a worker who wants to drink some alcohol after a hard day's work, or a thief who wants to steal something, let alone a gangster who yells five and six.

Although it behaves like a normal town and the people in it are making themselves like the residents of this town, its air is filled with a special taste, a taste of order. And it is spontaneous, rooted, and an order constructed by its inhabitants.

"This is really not under the jurisdiction of the upper wizard? Why don't I think that the people here are too well-regulated. It seems that they have a clear plan for their own life, and they work and rest like a timetable." Cheesy whispered .

"Uh, don’t the people outside live like this? I’m sorry, because I haven’t received an assignment from outside. You know that spies are more dealing with internal problems in the City of Ten Thousand Dharma. There are not so many magic-related matters to deal with. It seems to me that it is already very relaxed. Is the outside world more chaotic than here? Then I have to feel a little scary."

Russell replied with a shrug.

In fact, the spy’s answer is no problem. He was born here and grew up here. If it weren't for this window area that simulated worldly life, the lifestyle of the upper-level mages was the only life he could know. This is like a person who grows up with a grey lion who cannot understand why someone does not have the spirit of chivalry in his heart, and can easily tell lies and bully the weak.

Or for the steppe people, those who live on the hills can be so disrespectful of nature, treating other creatures like treating humble creatures. People in each place are different. This difference is not internal, but is imperceptibly affected by the environment in which they grow up, so it is difficult to avoid.

But is this a bad thing? Probably not all, at least the wizards need such an environment with a strong sense of order to protect their thinking from seduction by worldly desires, so as to engage in more pure magic research.

If this place is also full of power, money and desire like the secular kingdom, it will not be able to bear the name of the city of all laws. Because those things will become a burden, let those who are advancing toward a distant ideal sink down, and eventually sink in self-comfort.

Therefore, Cheese did not try to tell Russell that his understanding of the world is one-sided, he just nodded casually, and then said softly,

"What makes people feel terrible is not disorder, it is unknown. When you enter that disorderly realm, you will find that it is not completely disordered, at least some things are universal, such as water can be drunk but iron cannot be eaten. If you can quickly adapt to the new order, then disorder will always keep your distance from you."

Russell heard this, but it was difficult for him to understand immediately, or he could understand it logically and literally, but he who lived in only one place still couldn't understand the state when logic became reality.

However, this is not the time for the spy to adapt to the new order. On the contrary, Russell’s biggest reliance here is his experience of walking through this familiar order. He can let the two of them look for signs without any trouble. .

"Here." Russell pointed to a short scratch on a wooden pole and said to the cheese, the direction of the scratches was toward the side of the road, a less lively alley.

There are no more or less such alleys here, and most of them are just places for stacking sundries and garbage. However, the point Kailas pointed to seems to be a little different. To be precise, it is the wooden box placed in the middle of the road as a blindfold that exposes a little differently. It was a downward staircase, and at the end of the staircase was a closed iron door.

The kobolds huddled up on the stairs, looking at a loss.

"They want to go in, but they don't know how to open the door. In other words, I won't be so unrelenting. Letting them in can at least attract less attention." Kailas's figure fell from the eaves, standing on the wooden box leisurely Say.

"But it will also let you see how the door opened. After all, this is still a city of magic, and magic is better used by people than machinery. But first of all, we are not too conspicuous. No one feels about these guys. Curious?"

Cheese looked back, and there seemed to be only the kobolds except for the three of them, and there were no good people to follow.

"Originally there were a few, but when they saw these guys just shrunk here and didn’t move, they walked away. The people here don’t seem to want to take care of these things, but it feels different from the feeling of running. It feels like, um, there won’t be a big problem anyway, so just take a look."

Kailas shook his ears and said how he felt. This is similar to the sense of order mentioned by the cheese just now.

"They believe in the security here too much. There will be no accidents, no conspiracies, and no problems. Because this is a resting area specially prepared for the mages in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, no one can avoid the eyes of the mages."

Cheese made a clearer explanation for Kailas's feelings. Of course, this kind of statement would make Russell as a defender of law and order feel a little embarrassed. After all, the problem was under their noses, and the other party not only avoided it, but also avoided it very well.

The spy who listened to the conversation between the two took two steps forward, took out a handful of dust from his sleeve, and sprinkled it on the kobolds with spells and gestures. After a while, the latter had fallen into a deep sleep. "Okay, so we can concentrate on this door."

"Okay, now the other party knows we are coming." Kailas put his hands on his chest, lowered his head and shook it. Why didn't he know that he should shut up the kobolds if he wanted to open the door. But why did he wait until the cheese arrived and they didn't start it yet? Was he that Kailas didn't have this method? Is he not sure how to deal with it properly?

No, he knew that only these kobolds continued to make noise, and the people at UU reading www.uukanshu.com would be confused about the situation. Although the other party has already used ghost surgery to kill the mouth, so far no one can tell how many people the other party is, and whether the person who kills the mouth has already told other people the news. There are always other possibilities.

But with Russell's spellcasting, all of these may have disappeared. Now the other party must know how these kobolds were released.

"It's not a problem. If he doesn't make a move, I will make it. Anyway, the door is already in front of you. People can run, but things can't run." Cheese explained for Russell, and then went down the stairs to observe the one. iron gate.

He first observed the boundary of the iron gate. Generally, the most common magic gate or mechanism gate is opened by touching symbols in a specific order, and those symbols are usually carved on the boundary.

He didn't find anything. The iron door seemed to blend in with the surrounding walls. He didn't even see the shaft needed to open the door. And this can basically be concluded as a magic door, because if the mechanism is to be used to achieve the same effect, the amount of engineering at the time of construction will inevitably be suspicious, which is inconsistent with the principle of concealment.

"So, the question now is how to open the door."
