Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 492 The Tower of the Seven Sages

Shuangta Town got its name because of its two towers.

More than 50 years ago, a large ogre tribe called "Bloodblade" brutally launched an attack from the Barren Skull Mountains, swept across the entire town, and after plundering the town of Twin Towers, it was razed to the ground under a fire.

So far, in the following decades, Shuangta Town has been struggling to rebuild.

And this "Tower of the Dead" located in Twin Tower Town was finally turned into a pile of ruins due to Thorn's exploration four years ago.

Another tall tower, the "Tower of the Seven Sages", in the years before the Blood Blade War, was the residence of the Wizards Union in Twin Towers Town, a union composed of about a dozen extraordinary wizards.

Although the enchantment of the tower prevented the destruction of the ogres, the owner of the tower died in the battle to defend the town or fled to a safe place.

Under the guidance of the female lord Alvy, Thorne came to the Tower of the Seven Sages.

Built of pale green stone with jagged battlements at the top, the lonely seven-sided tower stood out of place with the rest of the town, towering over half-man-high bushes and crooked trees.

"The owner of this high tower is a third-tier wizard, Sandcott, an old wizard, who calls himself the 'Head of the Seven Sages', the president of the Wizards Union in Twin Towers Town. A member of the Wizards Guild Except for the two second-level wizards who were invited by your Pushang Town to be teaching assistants, the remaining five or six wizards are all first-level wizard apprentices."

Alvy, who accompanied Thorne, introduced to him: "Although there are many civilians who are eager to join the Wizarding Union and become a wizarding apprentice, the old thing Sandcot blocked it with a large membership fee." Most potential wizards."

"So, this old wizard should be very short of money." Thorne smiled and expressed his guess.

"That's right." Alvy nodded, and said in an uncertain tone: "It is said that this wizard from the Wizards Union went bankrupt because of a failed spell experiment. In the end, in order to pay off the debt, he had to negotiate with the wizard. The alliance signed a contract and was sent to a small remote place like Shuangta Town."

"So far, most of the adventurers who settled here or the few wizards who passed here would choose to buy the spell scrolls and magic items made by him in the 'Tower of the Seven Sages'."

Alvie seemed to have remembered something interesting, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she said briskly to the ranger beside her:
"Of course, occasionally they will undertake some enchanting work for magic items, but because of the high cost, they would rather spend more time going to Falls Town than enchanting again."

"After all, it's on the edge of the continent, and it's not as prosperous as the central part of the continent. The advanced enchanting technology he is proficient in is naturally not something ordinary people can afford."

Thorne nodded in disbelief, and said indifferently: "The cost is not a problem, I just hope that his enchanting skills are really as proficient as his apprentices have passed on."

"However, I heard that you hacked to death two of his wizard students who had reached the extraordinary level half a month ago. Are you not afraid that he will deal with you?" Alvy suddenly remembered something, slightly He looked worriedly at the ranger with a calm expression.

"In the Wizarding Union, those direct blood relatives may still have some feelings, as for the others..."

Thorn snorted coldly, paused, looked at the pale green tower in front of him, and said, "If this old guy has no problem with his mind, he will never make the most stupid choice."

"That's true." Alvy looked at the ranger's indifferent look, chuckled, and then led him towards the gate of the tower.

The two came to the pure white gate decorated with delphinium patterns. On the gate hung a huge door knocker. Ouroboros ring.

The female lord Alvy walked forward with ease, cleared her throat, and said loudly to the honeypot on the door knocker:
"Alvi, the lord of Twin Towers Town, sends his greetings to you. This time, I have something to ask Master Sandcott. The contemporary Emerald Tower Lord Thorne sends you his greetings. He has the same purpose as me in coming here."

After Alvie finished speaking, she retreated to Thorn's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Although the Huskan Kingdom has a cooperative relationship with the Wizarding Union, allowing the towers of the Wizarding Union to be located in various towns in the kingdom at will, and they don't have to pay taxes, but they also shoulder the task of guarding this place."

Alvie stretched out her hand and stroked the strands of hair that had fallen to her forehead, and said in a helpless tone:
"However, this old wizard named Sandcott has never fulfilled his obligations. In his eyes, except for money, there is no motivation to drive him forward. Therefore, if you ask him to enchant equipment this time, I'm afraid you have to do it." Ready to be slaughtered."

"Then why don't you complain about this old thing to the Wizards Union?" Thorne asked in puzzlement after hearing the words.

"Have you forgotten how I got my position as the lord?" Alvy said with a helpless smile with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Thorne instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words, and immediately fell silent.

In this way, the two stood together in front of the door and waited for about half an hour. The honey badger head on the door moved its jaw full of sharp fangs comically, and a faint blue light flashed.

"Master Sandcott's spell research has reached a critical stage, and there is no time to meet guests now. Go back, my good neighbor, the Baroness."

Honey Badger made a cold mechanical metal sound, but when he mentioned 'The Baroness', he deliberately increased the decibel of the metal sound, which made the eardrums of the two of them buzz.

Facing the sarcastic voice from Honey Badger's hair, the female lord was obviously used to it for a long time, and her expression didn't change in any way.

"You said what would happen if I punched this honey badger on the head?" Thorne clenched his fists, looking eager to try.

"Let's forget it, I don't think it's necessary." Alvy looked at the ranger's indifferent look, hesitated for a while, and finally comforted her.

"Master Sandcott's spell research has reached a critical stage, and there is no time to meet guests now. Go back, my good neighbor, the Baroness."

While the two were talking, Brother Pingtou made a mechanical metallic sound again and repeated.

"Shut up!" Thorn, whose ears were buzzing, couldn't help but stepped forward, threatening Brother Pingtou coldly:
"I'm not your good neighbor. I'm the tower owner of the Emerald Tower. Now I have something important to discuss with your master. Hurry up and send a message, otherwise, I'll just demolish your ruined tower."

As Thorn, who owns the entire wizard tower, he knows nothing about this simple constructed creature.

He could clearly know that the owner of the tower was definitely observing everything in secret, otherwise he wouldn't have waited half an hour before replying.

Any magic research that reaches a critical moment is an excuse.

"Go back, my good...wait a moment." The repeated voice of the honey badger head knocker stopped abruptly, and said in a completely different voice: "You are really the tower owner of the Emerald Tower in Waterfall Town, Lord Thorne?"

"That's right, it's me." Thorne let go of his clenched fist and nodded slightly.

"Please get closer to the gate, Your Excellency Thorne." The honey badger head knocker hesitated for a moment, and as he spoke, a light blue light flashed at the same time: "I hope to have a good talk with you, the Tower Master of the Emerald Tower. As for that Baroness, I am very sorry."

"It's okay, respected Master Sandcott. I wish you all the profits from the spell accident insurance you bought from me a few days ago."

Alvie's tone was also filled with inexplicable irony. She waved her hand indifferently and reminded the ranger: "Be careful, Mr. Thorne, we'll see you later."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Thorne walked up to the pure white door decorated with delphinium patterns.

The light blue light on the door knocker of the honey badger's head flickered, and the door opened a gap that could only accommodate one person.

Thorne squeezed in, the door slammed shut, and he found himself in darkness.
