Chapter 218 The Secret of the World
As soon as An Ruosi woke up, she was startled by the shabby environment around her.

Huge cracks appeared on the wall, the ground cracked, the soil turned up, and even the rock formation above his head had many cracks. The bright red sunset light fell from above, and happened to shine on his face.

It was as if there had been a war before.

An Ruosi originally wanted to chat with Esther again, but he seemed to have something to do with that woman named Elcardo, and before An Ruosi looked at the surrounding environment, he was in a hurry Just drive him away.

... An Ruosi also knew that he couldn't be a light bulb, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction about it.

However, he has nowhere to go now.In short, it's boring.

He didn't have many friends.For unknown reasons, neither Robert, Roland, nor Claudia have lost contact with An Ruosi.

As for Natalia, An Ruosi's feelings towards her are more like the feelings between sister, mother and master.After the advanced stage, An Ruosi's spirit obviously gained some independence, and she didn't depend on and care about her as much as before.

It turned out that An Ruosi would feel panicked if he didn't contact Natalia for a day.But after three months away from the White Tower, his feelings for her gradually cooled down.

——Anyway, we've known each other for three or four years, so it's okay to leave it alone for a few months.

Such a thought floated in An Ruosi's mind.

But after all, An Ruosi's vacation lasted more than three months, and now he returned smoothly in only two and a half months.

He originally wanted Robert to take Claudia and Roland for a stroll in the White Tower—after all, An Ruosi belongs to the kind of wizard who devotes himself to studying witchcraft and does not visit the tower once a year. If Roland asks He still can't say what are the interesting places in his White Tower.

That's what he admired about Robert.

Robert played around the White Tower every day while learning witchcraft, but his wizard level was much higher than that of An Ruosi.

In An Ruosi's view, this is the real genius.I am just a mortal.

Now Robert can't be contacted for a while, and An Ruosi has also given up the idea of ​​looking for Claudia and Roland.

Roland is probably with Natalia now.

An Ruosi knew that Natalia liked to drag girls to talk to her when she was upset, and he had gotten used to it over the years.

On the contrary, it was Claudia, but An Ruosi couldn't remember when she disappeared.

It stands to reason that Claudia shouldn't be the kind of person with a low sense of existence, but now she has disappeared without a sound - no matter how she thinks about it, An Ruosi suspects that it is Anvilia's trick.

But anyway, if Anvilia really wanted to do something, she couldn't stop her.Therefore, after An Ruosi realized this, he immediately let go of the worries in his heart.

After thinking about it, An Ruosi sadly found that he had nowhere to go.

So he simply planned to cancel his vacation in advance and go back to the second tower to find Teacher Thanas to make up "Astrology and Tides".

All astrology wizards know that their deputy director, Mrs. Thanas, is very agitated when giving lectures. When excited, he speaks faster, but his tongue is not good, and when he speaks too fast, he can't speak clearly... …

This directly led to a very high failure rate for the three courses of "Astrology and Creature Demonization", "Astrology and Wind Erosion" and "Astrology and Tides"...

Last year and the year before last, An Ruosi went to Tanas for tutoring after taking the exam.It took me an extra month to fully understand the first two courses.

Although An Ruosi finally graduated with full honors this year, in the class of "Astrology and Tides", An Ruosi only conducted targeted learning with the goal of passing the exam, and it can be said that he did not understand the essence of this course at all.

When An Ruosi was studying the theoretical part of the five-ring witchcraft "overweight technique" and the technique of "locking spellcasting", he encountered a lot of unnecessary troubles.

But after An Ruosi was sent to the ground by Esther, he realized that Teacher Tanas might not be free tonight——

A loud noise like thousands of birds chirping at the same time was constantly coming from the second tower.The fierce electric light turned half of the night sky pale.

The constantly jumping and flickering light was impossible to look at directly.

An Ruosi just wanted to see the runes floating around the second tower, but his eyes were sore by the jumping lightning around him, and he almost shed tears.

He only hesitated for a moment before deciding to enter the second tower to see the situation.

But as soon as he entered the second tower, he was startled by the bustling situation inside——

All the light sources in the tower are turned on.All the magic circles on the wall lit up, and the gems inlaid in the magic circles exuded dazzling light.The mana visible to the naked eye was floating in the air, and from time to time it entangled itself to form several runes and then dispersed.

Apprentice wizards are like dock workers in the green mud area of ​​Karal, running around with large bags of wingwood gold coins; while formal wizards keep standing at nodes to start the sacrifice process, converting catties and catties of gold coins into Pure magic.

This astrolabe and library, which is usually as quiet as the fifth tower, has now become a kind of factory-like existence.

For some reason, An Ruosi didn't see a wizard from outside the star system.

He roughly estimated the number of people, and An Ruosi found that almost everyone in the star system was here.

If the second tower is suddenly destroyed by the gods at this time, I am afraid that there will never be an astrological wizard in the world of Farnes.

An Ruosi was really frightened.

He stood motionless among the noisy crowd, but he didn't know what to do, and for a moment he had the illusion of being abandoned by the whole world.

"An Ruosi? Are you back?"

A familiar hurried voice came from beside him.

An Ruosi turned his head and saw an old man with some rickets.

His beard is half gray and half white, his small eyes are narrowed into a slit, his face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, and he speaks in a hoarse but rapid and fuzzy voice, in an ancient but clean whitish gray color. The wizard robe covered his whole body in shadow.

He was holding a lot of books in his arms, walking wobbly, An Ruosi even wondered if he would fall directly.

It was Deputy Director Thanas.

"Just give it to me."

An Ruosi took the book from his arms without thinking.

Compared with the Starcaller who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, Thanas, who was less than half the age of the Starcaller, was the person who most fit An Ruosi's impression of an "old wizard".

Thanas felt that he had no chance to step into the road of awakening, so he devoted all his energy to teaching wizard apprentices, which has not changed for hundreds of years.

Not just wizards of the astrological system.Mr. Tanas has nothing to do every day, so he wanders around the entire White Tower. From time to time, he catches a few apprentices who want to sneak out to play and talks to them, but he never talks to these little wizards. report by the instructor.

The students he taught accounted for three quarters of the wizards still teaching in the White Tower.Even Clavi the Dreamer and Merlin the Keeper of Secrets are his students.

Therefore, Thanas can be said to be the person most respected by wizards in the entire White Tower besides the Tower Master.

How busy do you have to be before other wizards watch this old man work in person?

Great curiosity gradually rose from An Ruosi's heart.

"Come with me, little An Ruosi."

After Thanas gave the book to An Ruosi, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly walked towards the floating slate.

As he walked, he explained to An Ruosi: "The star world is vast, and there is no distinction between upper and lower. In order to leave a return coordinate for Palbuchko, all astrological wizards maintain the magic circle here."

"But why did you take so many books?"

"Because... we may have discovered the secret of the world."

Thanas paused for a moment before slowly speaking to An Ruosi.

While speaking, the floating slab kept going up, and it took him and An Ruosi up ten floors in the blink of an eye.

"No. 14 floor?"

An Ruosi couldn't help showing a look of surprise: "Is there no problem with my permission to come here?"

"Your authority was updated by Palbuccico yesterday. Now you can enjoy the same treatment as me in the second tower."

While explaining, Thanas tremblingly pressed his right hand against the door.

The real door suddenly blurred.

An Ruosi immediately saw the scene inside:
In the middle of the thick purple beam of light composed of dense runes, a huge golden disc with a diameter of about ten meters is suspended in the air, and the center part that is constantly rotating like a swirling nebula keeps emitting Palbuchko's voice , the instructors of the astrology department were busy writing notes on the side, and some assistant teachers were constantly flipping through the information.

An Ruosi stood at the door, and could hear the familiar voice of the star caller.

"It can be confirmed that the sun is really Tyre's kingdom of God... I passed him just now, and he didn't seem to care about me."

"I have now seen the White Tower for the second time... Guys, take note - the moon is not physical, nor is it a sphere, but a mark on the Wall of Orm."

"... Ladies and gentlemen, I am now absolutely sure that the planet theory I put forward before is wrong."

"The world of Farnes is not a ball, and the astral world is not an infinite ocean that surrounds the world of Farnes... The astral world is very small. I have already walked around the wall of Aum just now."

"Everyone, please remember, what I'm going to say next is very likely the truth of the world... It's the truth that was hidden by the false gods before the Seven Sages had time to tell us."

"If the world is an egg, we do not live on the outer layer of the eggshell, but on the inner layer - we live in the position of the egg white, with our feet on the egg shell. The yolk is the astral world, and the egg shell is Gaia. The wall, and the intersection line between egg white and egg yolk is the wall of Om.”

"Yes, everyone... Our world is not infinite, but as small as it can be. False gods do not roam freely among the oceans of stars, but are trapped in the narrow star realm like prisoners."

"I suspect that our world may be a sanctuary... outside the eggshell, maybe some kind of 'boiling water' that we cannot bear... I don't know what that is, but please pay attention."

"...Wait, everyone. The wall of Gaia in the south has been broken! I smell some kind of danger... yes, something that makes me feel danger too. Go and inform the southern countries that there is something Coming in... damn it, I hope I make it in time.”

"I seem to have found the backstage of the Wall of Aum, it is not hidden... These false gods are simply illiterate, they don't understand the Wall of Aum at all..."

"...Wait, everyone. Let me ask, is there anyone here who wants to become a god?"

Suddenly, the Starcaller's voice paused.The wizards who were recording something quickly stopped their pens.

An incredible silence permeated the room.

The words of the star caller caused the small laboratory to boil——

"I just found instructions that can turn mortals into gods, or deprive gods of their authority and make them fall to the ground again - I'm not kidding."

　The important chapters that are close to [-] words, I will not continue the chapters, and give them as New Year's Day gifts... Happy New Year's Day everyone.
