Pastor's Tantra

After dinner, Aleister, led by Albert and others, went to the storage room of the ziggurat.

Although the name here sounds a bit like a utility room, it is actually a very important part of the ziggurat. Its importance is second only to the Lingper spine, which provides core power.

"You need some protection to enter here. This is also a kind of key."

Adolf, who had followed along, stretched out his staff and touched the shoulders of Aleister and the other two.

A faint yellowish film lightly covered their bodies.

Then they pushed open the door and walked in.

When Aleister entered here, she immediately felt the extremely strong power of the Dusk Path.

Everything here is as if time has been frozen... glowing with dim yellow light and maintaining absolute silence.

Not far away, there are more than a dozen rows of huge bookshelves. In addition to books, there are also bottles and jars containing organs, as well as some strange trinkets or packed documents. You can also see an opened huge treasure box with a simple shape, filled with sparkling gold coins and various jewelry.

You can even see two people who are suspected of being thieves squatting next to the treasure box, looking happy.

A person holds a gold coin in both hands and lets it fall naturally. The gold coins that slipped from his fingers solidified in the air.

Another person was holding a gemstone and a soft handkerchief, and seemed to be carefully wiping it. But now the handkerchief has become extremely strong and unshakable.

Some people kept walking forward and were frozen in place without noticing.

Others seemed to have realized something, looking panicked and raising their staffs.

"Are these people... thieves?" Aleister asked.

Her voice was not echoed, but others clearly heard it.

"Some are, and some are disobedient students."

Adolf said, closing the door to the storage room. His voice also sounded from the bottom of Aleister's heart: "The most powerful preservation technique of the ziggurat is kept in the preservation room. The principal's 'amber container' is here, and the power it emits is enough to make the surrounding time flow. Stagnation. That is also the principal’s biggest weakness.”

"...Is it appropriate to tell me this kind of thing?"

Aleister was startled.

The so-called "amber container" should be the lich's phylactery. Different from the amber craftsman - the amber container made by the amber craftsman seals a soul inside and then transfers it to other bodies, which is a kind of preparation for seizing the body. If you can create a body without a soul, it can also be regarded as a kind of rebirth.

The phylactery is different - it is the core ability of the "lich". The Lich seals his complete soul here. As long as the phylactery is not destroyed, even if the outer body is destroyed, he can be reborn at any time. On the other hand, if it is destroyed, the principal will die immediately no matter how powerful he is.

For a moment, Aleister thought he might not be able to get out.

Adolf shook his head: "It doesn't matter. After all, it has been so many years, and this has long been a secret. At least it can't be hidden from hostile people, so there is no need to hide it from friends... Even if someone knows about it, he You can't get in. And you have the sixth-level Wild Hunt King who can control you at will. If you really want to be hostile to us, can the storage room stop you? In this case, it is better to show the greatest sincerity.

"Besides, you still underestimate the 'Preservation Technique'. 'Preserving Secrets' is also within the field of Preservation Technique. The knowledge learned here cannot be directly told to outsiders outside. It can only be communicated through Give it to others in the form of riddles or hints - those who know the secret will eventually remain silent.

"No, look..."

As he spoke, Black-faced Adolf pointed the staff in his hand at a man wearing a hood and with a low sense of presence.

If Adolf hadn't pointed it out specifically, Aleister would have really not noticed him.

"That was a master assassin, fifth level. During the Earth Rift War, Black Hawk's people wanted to assassinate the principal, so they sent him to sneak into the ziggurat. Obviously, he failed."

But now, the man maintained the posture of stepping forward, frozen in the past without noticing.

"And this person," Adolf pointed to another old man with a white beard who seemed to be chanting a spell, "the fifth-level archmage, the mage lord of Narcissus. And the silver-haired woman, that is a fifth-level mage." There are many Moon Sons who want to kill the principal... I don’t know the others, and now they are all trophies.”

As he spoke, Adolf pointed to the canned internal organs: "And these are all - the original owners of these internal organs were all fifth-level experts. These are the most top-notch corpses that can be used for Performing the highest level rituals and necromancy can be considered our tactical reserve.

"But these were not killed by the principal...they are the collections of the predecessors and the previous principals. Each generation of principals will use their own strength to maintain the existence of this preservation room. Among the past principals, Mr. Grunewald is the The ones who have survived the longest are the teachers who like to keep these assassins and thieves together, so these people only appeared after they became the principal."

"...It seems that the principal has been treated as a BOSS before."

Aleister murmured.

Faced with this secret, Albert and Aurora were not surprised. Apparently, they had heard Adolf talk about it once when they placed their teacher here.

Anyway, with their talents, the Spirit Tower will most likely rely on them in the future. The contemporary Black Phase Adolf has wanted to retire for a long time. When he brings Albert out, he can leave.

At this time, Aleister suddenly thought of something.

That was after the old lich entered the dungeon, the name of the dungeon was the Millennium Vengeance Spirit Tower.

"...How long has the Spirit Tower existed?"

Aleister asked, "You are the vice-president of the Spirit Tower, you should know the history of the school, right?"

"Yes. If it is a true Spirit Tower, it has existed for more than four thousand years."

Adolf was very clear about this, and he answered without hesitation: "At least it existed before the birth of humans - the Spirit Tower at that time was the inheritance of the birdmen, it was called the 'Tower of Babel'. A long time ago, it was a wizard tower."

"... Wizard Tower?"

The two young necromancers obviously had not heard of this secret history, and they couldn't help but make a surprised sound.

"It was even called the 'Tower of Truth' because it has the ability to calculate all the mysteries of the past and the future. The ancient wizards were different from today... All mysteries such as necromancy, preservation, astrology, alchemy, curse, ritual, etc. were classified as spells, divided into nine major categories and twenty-seven minor categories, exhausting all the mysteries in the world.

"It is said that when Wei Zhe ascended to the gods in the past, he directly split the time and space from the Tower of Babel and arrived at the dream world in his physical body.

"But after that, the Tower of Truth was suddenly destroyed by divine thunder one day, causing a fire that burned everything. Many ancient wizards inside were killed because of this, and a lot of knowledge inside was lost and circulated. Because thunder is the domain of Wei Zhe, many ancient wizards believed that this was because Wei Zhe demolished the ladder to the gods after ascending to the pillar god, so they hated Wei Zhe... But Wei Zhe remained silent about this, neither admitting nor denying.

"In the past, the wizards fought for this, and the inheritance was scattered. Everyone no longer called themselves wizards, but called themselves 'casters'. It was also after that that humans, as newborns, were qualified to learn this mysterious skill.

"The many taboo knowledge stored in the Tower of Truth back then have been scattered and lost... and the one that has been most completely preserved is the necromancers like us who have mastered the 'preservation technique'. Only those of us who understand the preservation technique can understand Wei Zhe's silence."

No wonder...

Aleister suddenly realized.

The preservation technique has already involved conceptual operations. Its power is obviously stronger than those spells and astrology!

It turns out that its inheritance itself is the most complete among the inheritances of many spellcasters...

"Until 1,200 years ago, the first headmaster found the spine of Lingbo Tiansi left in the material world from the deep sea. With the skills of building the wizard tower in the past, it was built into the original psychic tower. At that time, the psychic tower was still on an isolated island overseas. Until two hundred years later, that is, a thousand years ago... the psychic tower finally fell into the empire.

"- Strictly speaking, the psychic tower, with the imperial people as the main race and necromancy as the main inheritance, has only existed for less than a thousand years. "

Adolf said lightly.

It was as if it was not a thousand years, but dozens or hundreds of years.

And that name sounded in Aleister's mind again---

The Millennium Vengeance Spiritual Tower.
