The Rise of the Cemetery

Presented in front of their eyes at this moment is a group of mage buildings that can be described as magnificent, majestic, strange and mysterious.

The main tower, Holy Moonlight, has a huge and towering body that shimmers in the warm winter sun. The body of the tower is not a traditional cylindrical shape, but a multi-body mage tower with well-proportioned thickness. Many huge rune stones with strange shapes and mysterious lines on them slowly rotate around the tower body along some strange route, constantly reflecting dazzling colors such as golden, dark blue, indigo, and red. In the sky, there are rainbow bridges that seem to be substantial, lingering and connecting between the towers, and there is a daunting and mighty magic power surging inside.

Li Xun looked up enviously at the air corridor above the main tower that connects multiple auxiliary towers, and the countless small terraces and flower halls around the tower. Looking down at the entire seven-ring tower from such a height, it must have a special flavor. !

Due to the incomparable size of the Mage Tower, when Li Xun came to its feet through the crowded square, he felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority.

Since unauthorized teleportation and flying are prohibited near the Seven Ring Tower, although there are many high-level mages and archmages in the square, they still walk on their legs like many low-level mages. Use two feet to measure the magnificent miracles left by the mages and sages.

As Li Xun's high-ranking mage, he was still just an inconspicuous passer-by in the crowd of people coming and going. Except for the middle and low-level mages who met face-to-face who would politely salute and then walk away, the rest of the mages were all busy with their own business, which made Li Xun unable to find the feeling of attention that he had before, and it was gone. That layer of illusory aura that always lingers around.

Li Xun smiled bitterly.

"I became a passerby again, which is really interesting!"

Li Xun concealed the little disappointment in his heart with a smile, followed Siris, and slowly stepped into the huge gate in front of him that could accommodate ten luxurious noble carriages passing side by side, and entered the interior of the White Tower.

The Mage Guild is indeed a big money that uses steel puppets and magic constructs a lot. In the spacious hall on the first floor, Li Xun saw a team of well-made and beautifully shaped service constructs. The reason why they are called Constructed Creatures is that Li Xun can clearly observe that they are not simply low-level magical constructs driven by activation spells, but puppet-type creatures that truly have simulated souls. At least in terms of intelligence, they are already stronger than half of the mage apprentices.

Li Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly speculated that the Mage Guild must have made a major breakthrough in simulating the soul, otherwise the constructed puppet in front of him could not be so agile and full of vitality.

These service-oriented constructs are distributed at various intersection nodes in the hall, ready to serve the mages who request them. There are also some humanoid steel puppets directing activated mops, wooden brushes, and buckets to clean the road on their own. All the mages who passed by were not surprised by this, they just turned around slightly, and neither side disturbed the other.

This is the life a mage should have!

Li Xun sighed silently.

The little Jack who followed was even more flushed at this moment, with tears in his eyes, tightly grasping the spell book that his mentor gave him with both hands, and followed behind Li Xun step by step. For a young boy who has just entered the gate of a mage, the seven-ring tower is simply a sacred place for magic that they only worship from afar, but now...

Looking at the dream world that was gradually becoming clear before his eyes, and looking at the novel creations that were beyond the scope of his imagination, he engraved them into his heart bit by bit with a pilgrimage mentality, making it a memory that he would never forget. And the tall and steady figure of the young mentor walking in front of him was engraved in his heart in the form of a silhouette, making him unforgettable forever and worshiping him.

The library on the first floor of the White Tower is open to the public, but it has countless ancient books, history books, scrolls, poems, magic notes, master's handbooks... The reserves of magic books here are comparable to the sum of all the magic books in the surrounding countries, so even more It is a must-see place for traveling mages.

The alchemy laboratory, puppet manufacturing workshop, alien summoning room, and spell laboratory here are all top-level configurations in the mage world, and there are many master-level rune masters, enchanters, magic pattern masters, puppet masters, and alien summoners with excellent skills. Teachers can provide visitors with tailor-made high-quality services. This provides the best way for those wandering mages who don't have the financial resources to build their own laboratories to improve their magic equipment and hard power.

But correspondingly, the charges here are undoubtedly proportional to their craftsmanship.

Stepping into the public library, although Li Xun was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the vast amount of books in front of him. The tall and spacious library is divided into multi-level platforms, and each level corresponds to a certain type of books. The antique-style bookshelves are filled with books, many of which are special spell books protected by magical aura.

Countless puppets shuttle back and forth among the bookshelves, and some goblins can be seen in midair. They are all service staff of the library, and any wizard needs to access books through them, otherwise the auxiliary magic circle on the bookshelf is not just for reading.

The three of Siris looked at each other and smiled. They didn't bother to look at the murals around them in detail. They went their separate ways after saying hello, and plunged into the book area they were interested in.

But before breaking up, Li Xun still threw a dimensional bag to Little Jack.

In such a public library, browsing ordinary historical biographies, scholars' notes, and historical scrolls is at most a matter of spending a little gold coins. But if you want to read rare knowledge such as higher-level magic notes, master's handwriting, trial experience, and famous experts' comments, it cannot be supported by simple gold coins. In many cases, magic crystals are needed as currency. Therefore, in order to avoid seeing your favorite books and not being able to appreciate them, it is also necessary to keep some magic crystals on your body.

After all, Little Jack is only a first-level mage. Although he is not far from being promoted to the second-level, he is still weak in the accumulation of magic knowledge. Therefore, the area he went to was filled with popular spell knowledge introductions, spellcasting skills and other magic books, while Li Xun walked straight up the hollow crystal escalator that spiraled upwards, and went straight to the third floor.

As soon as he stepped up to the platform on the third floor, a faint white light surged beside him, and with the slight heat of the mage badge on his chest, this white light disappeared inexplicably.

Uh... authentication mechanism?

It seems that this three-tier platform is not so easy to use!

Just as Li Xun glanced around, a wooden doll with well-coordinated limbs and smooth movements stood respectfully in front of him.

"Welcome to the visit of this high-ranking mage. What are your needs? Construct No. 9776 belonging to the Hoover Library is at your service."

The voice of the wooden doll is clear and sweet, completely imitating the voice of a young girl, and the light blue light shines through the vertical and horizontal texture of the body. It's just that the mouth, eyes, and ears on the wooden carved head are painted with heavy ink and color, which looks a bit abstract and wild.

Wooden dolls are often the first objects of aspiring puppeteer mages' first attempts.

With a simple wooden body and simple magic patterns, combined with upper and lower activation spells, you can get a loyal and reliable junior housekeeper. However, such wooden dolls were eventually replaced by practical clay golems due to their poor defensive properties and the difficulty of finding large quantities of magic-loving wood. As for the most versatile steel golem, if you want to build a loyal and reliable shield guard, that is not a luxury that an ordinary mage can afford.

The reason why the Three Kingdoms of Mage continue to expand their rule to the surrounding area is not only to occupy more population, but also to obtain more high-quality resources. This includes various metal deposits and associated characteristic gemstones, as well as various luxuries to maintain the noble life of the mage, such as special spices that can improve the effect of meditation, special tea and tobacco that refresh the mind, and caviar with good taste , the deep-sea oyster that can aphrodisiac and nourish...

Although the above-mentioned items are produced from all over the world, they have all become an indispensable part of the noble and extravagant life of a mage. The path of a mage is extremely difficult. Without these imperceptible aids, it is estimated that the life of many mages will be even more boring.

Uh... thinking far away again.

After talking with the wooden doll, Li Xun was finally led to a small box composed of a rotating sofa. There are no wooden partitions here, a circle of sofas is a small world, usually occupied by a mage, and the wooden table in the middle is full of various books of different thicknesses.

Li Xun briefly glanced around. Most of the hundred or so "boxes" in this area have been taken up. Most of them are high-level mages. Occasionally, there will be one or two middle-level mages wearing strange robes. Li Xun's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention. All mages were concentrating on what they were doing at hand, or they were writing and writing, or holding a book and chanting in a low voice, or walking around the wooden table and thinking hard. In some cases, the mage fell asleep on the sofa...

Without exception, these mages are somewhat unkempt and disheveled. It could be seen that he hadn't left that square inch for many days.

"This is the real mage." Li Xun couldn't help being awed in his heart.

In the past, he had come into contact with too many mages who were full of wine and flesh, and had a wild life, which almost destroyed the noble and respected image of the mage profession in his heart. Until today, seeing such a group of mages who are still diligently pursuing knowledge, the wise and noble image of "mage" is alive again.

While in a trance, a palm-sized goblin appeared in front of Li Xun with a faint magical glow.

"Mage, mage, what do you need?"
