Dawn of the Grey Tower

Seeing the pyramid as a large library again, Cheese is still amazed sincerely. The exquisite combination of stone bricks constitutes this building full of geometric beauty. It is so magnificent, even if the city of ten thousand dharmas collapses after a few years, the people here are all scattered, even if the knowledge in the library is burned, as long as the building is still standing, the history here will not be forgotten. .

Because there is no superb construction technology and geometric knowledge and excellent construction arrangements, humans cannot build such a miracle, let alone on this mountain top. The golden spire shone brightly in the sun, shining on everyone who seeks knowledge.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult to connect this building with the people who built it?"

Mrs. Wynette noticed the cheese's performance on the pyramid, and asked with a bit of ridicule. For her, this building has been seen every day since her apprenticeship. Although she still feels proud occasionally, the scene she has become accustomed to cannot deeply touch people, especially after she was promoted. The hall became a dirty dance floor of power.

"No, I think only such a person can build such a building. Every system has its flaws, but this does not mean that it is undesirable. It can operate for a long time and allow the people in the system to live a stable life. All systems are great, but their greatness is time-sensitive. At least I don’t think any other groups will use such a magnificent building as a library. They will use it as a palace, temple, mausoleum, and Some other places, but it must not be a library. Only here will do it, because knowledge is the blood of this city, and it is more important to you than anything else."

The madam was silent for a few seconds. The expression in her eyes when she looked at the gray robe changed slightly, but it soon disappeared.

"This passage can be repeated later. It is enough to gain a good impression. Unfortunately, as long as you really understand this building, you will find how many dirt and defects are under the exquisite surface of it. It is no longer one. That’s how it started, and so is this city. We set up beacons, and the beacons in turn control us, how ironic."

They came to the entrance of the library while they were talking, but Mrs. Wynette didn't mean to follow the crowd. She took the cheese to the other side, obviously there were other ways to enter the building.

This is also normal. As they said before, in addition to its function as a library, this building is also large enough to undertake other tasks, such as a meeting or meeting place for school leaders or senior mages.

The entrances to the meeting rooms and meeting rooms are naturally not open to ordinary wizards and outsiders. In fact, many young spellcasters have no idea where the exchanges between the leaders of the six schools are and what methods are used.

There are no guards at the entrance here, or there are no guards of flesh and blood. The two statues have the characteristics of jackal heads, and the nearly three-meter-high humanoid sculptures stand quietly in the shadow of the pyramid. Their dark surface exudes amber sheen. They are so huge but seem to blend in with the shadows, completely unobtrusive. Even in the magic spectrum, these two statues will disappear completely, which is obviously abnormal.

"They are the works left by the masters of the Totem School. We call them the guardians. The shape is inspired by the country where the pyramid is located, where the jackal is the **** of death and the patron of the tomb. But since this is not a tomb. , Then of course they don’t have to guard the corpse and burial objects. If the gods are shaped by human beliefs, then the guardian should have become the patron saint of knowledge and secrets by now."

Mrs. Wynette took the cheese and came between the two huge stone statues. What is interesting is that there are no doors or obvious outlines between them, only the usual walls. The two archers hold weird long-handled axe-like objects, which are like weapons and ceremonial staffs used in ceremonies.

But when the two of them walked to a certain special position, the eyes made of stone **** turned slightly in the eye sockets of the defender, and the four eyes faced the two, which made people instinctively scared.

"In the local legend, Jackal will measure the merits and demerits of people after death by placing your heart on a scale and comparing it with a feather. Those who are lighter than a feather can go to Paradise, and vice versa. Enter the place of torture. We are not going to have a post-mortem trial, we just have to go through the gates they guard. So what needs to be given is not the heart, but this."

A symbol of the psychic school, a cat with three eyes and six tails, with the same mark.

"Om" does not have the friction sound that should be made when the mechanical bearing rotates. The joints of the two stone statues move naturally as if they were creatures. After confirming the pass, they held the axe-shaped object in their hands with both hands, and then stretched out to each other. The air intersects, and directly below the intersection of them, a tunnel that never existed before suddenly opened up, leading to the inside of the pyramid.

In the whole process, their hand-held objects made a muffled noise in the air, but the two three-meter-high giants did not make a sound when they moved their arms! It is conceivable that if they were to attack a reckless intruder, the latter would never have a chance to react.

"Their craftsmanship is even better than the dwarf golems I have seen. With these two golems, the dwarf king can exchange one-thousandth of the treasure in the mountain."

The dwarf king is not the only king of dwarves. Like humans, dwarves have many kingdoms and groups that are not enough to be called kingdoms. But without exception, there is bound to be a treasure mountain in the dwarf kingdom, which is a place where they store precious metals and gems and other precious treasures collected during the excavation process.

Dwarves have a long life span, and they rarely participate in human warfare when living in the hills. Therefore, almost every dwarf king’s treasure mountain will gather staggering wealth. One thousandth of it has exceeded the imagination of the most wealthy man in the secular human kingdom. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com and the admiration of cheese is not an exaggeration, but these two archers have such value to the dwarves who are obsessed with creation.

"That won't work. The guardian's world blueprint is said to have been severely damaged in an accident. Although the Totem School has been trying to repair it, they are currently the only ones. Like this library, they cannot be copied."

As the director of the Fairy Research Institute, Mrs. Wynette was well aware of many things in the Six University School of the City of All Dharma, and explained it to Cheese without any effort.

"Okay, let's go in. You will see the other side of this library."

Footsteps, buried in the newly emerged corridor. The walls on both sides are inlaid with shimmering white stones, which replace torches and the like as the lighting facilities here, dispelling the darkness.

And Cheese also quickly understood what the so-called other side of the library meant, because after the two of them went deep down the corridor for a certain distance, the stairs that emerged were not upward, but downward.

"We have retained many of the original structure of this building, especially in the underground part."
