Dawn of the Grey Tower

The headless giant on the ice field, its action ability comes from the necromancer circle on its body. The two originally thought that the magic circle came from a fellow sect or other ancient ruins buried deep under the snowfield. But now it happened to be seen again from the root system of a plant in the hidden greenhouse of the Gray Tower.

This can no longer be described as a coincidence. Considering the physical distance between the two discovery sites, this may indicate that there were a considerable number of similar patterns within the scope of this land during a certain period. In addition, unlike the giant that directly used the magic source to drive the corpse, the pattern that appeared on the skull this time has no trace of magic.

In other words, it's closer to a decoration, so the question is, who would like this decoration? In other words, was the pattern carved on the skull, or was it carved on the head of a living person? These two have completely different properties, the former may be just bad, and the latter will point to a more complicated situation.

"It was engraved when I was alive, and there are some lines with obvious traces. It is estimated that it was re-cut after healing, and finally became like this." Without cheese identification, the cursed crow can see the skull. clues.

"Slaves or fanatics?"

Cheese puts forward the two most likely hypotheses. Some mages will deliberately leave very conspicuous and terrible marks on their servants or slaves. These marks may help them control the poor people, or they may simply make it impossible for them to wash away their misery no matter where they flee. Due to the incomplete appearance, the past had to be returned to him in the end.

As for fanatics, it's even simpler. For those people, self-mutilation seems to be a very popular form of worship.

"It's all possible. It's so rotten that even the master of necromancy can't make it open." The cursed crow gently tapped the ancient skull with his hand, and the latter fell several times immediately. block fragments. From this point of view, it was not easy for the cheese to dig it out completely just now.

"Then don't think about it for now. Get this big flower away."

More mysteries gave Cheese the motivation to leave the greenhouse quickly, and he slowly entered a unique state of excitement. This state may be fear of difficulties or headaches in normal people, but for him, the challenge is the best entertainment.

Cursed Crow nodded, pulled out a second knife, and pierced directly into the root system of the huge plant. This time, the spell did not fail, and the decay visible to the naked eye spread all the way up the roots, turning the green vines into lifeless black.

The branch blocking the way was quickly removed, but when the cursed crow was about to recover the first knife, he discovered it again. It turned out that the curse of the first knife didn't work, and it wasn't entirely due to the plant itself. Because the outer skin was rotten, the cursed crow could only see that there was a big metal plate inside the vine. It was precisely because the knife pierced the metal plate that the magic was compromised.

"There are skulls hidden in the roots and iron plates in the vines. Great, this has to be the most individual plant I've seen lately. If there were more of it, we wouldn't have to dig for gold in the mountains, because the trees produce itself."

The conjurer commented on the withered plants with his usual sarcasm. The moment he dug up the skeleton, he had no intention of letting it survive. There is a subtle magical concept involved here, devouring.

In layman's terms, once a magical creature devours a more commanding or more complex creature than itself, it is likely to undergo some kind of mutation. Allowing it to happen is dangerous indulgence.

"At least we can be sure that it is also a product of regression, so the skull will only be older."

The cheese shrugged, and then took the lead on the way out of the greenhouse. They got some clues in this hidden room and added a little mystery. Overall it's a good start, isn't it?

Compared with those colleagues who were buried in the library classics, Cheese felt that at least he had found the right direction. If solving this mystery about the Gray Tower is really a race, he certainly has the lead.

"We are not archaeologists. The age of mythology is far away from modern times, and its traces do not mean much to people who walk in this world."

Curse Crow kindly reminded Cheese that studying ancient objects is a hobby of many spellcasters, but wise people will know that even the most valuable ancient things have their own reasons for their loss. None of the things that are truly the most applicable and the most convenient will be remembered and retained by people.

Blindly looking to the wreckage of the past for something that never existed will only fall into a worthless endless loop.

"I know. It's just that this matter is different. If the trace has something to do with the gray tower, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com may have something to do with the teacher. Why did the teacher choose to build the gray tower here? About the legendary frozen land , does he know something inside? Aren't you curious?"

"Curiosity does not mean guessing. Until more evidence supports the conjecture, I would rather remain silent." The more pragmatic conjurer closed the door leading to the greenhouse behind him. The icy air in the gray tower made the two people who stayed in the warm environment for a while shiver unconsciously.

"Then let's look for evidence. But before that, we should go to the library, where things started. If this is an exam, there may be follow-up clues buried in each question .”

Cheese looked up to the height of the tower, where it was as quiet as ever.

"No problem. Speaking of which, I haven't really read those books yet. Just running around with you, the original purpose has been left behind."

Curse Crow certainly has no objection to this, and it has been so long, even if there are disputes in the library, it should be time to subside.

The two quickly returned to the library, passed through the gate, and saw fellow disciples in the room with different postures.

They sat on the bookshelf, in the aisle, and on the table, holding books that they had never seen before, and they also had manuscripts for recording, and they made some conclusions as they read.

"Are you here?"

The person waving carrot-like fingers was of course Warnaby. He was sitting not far from the door, with two blood servants in front of him carrying the book for him.

"Ah. How's the situation?"

The cheese and the cursed crow walked over naturally. Neither their arrival nor the blood mage's greeting attracted the attention of others. Most of their energy had already been devoted to the books in their hands.
