Dawn of the Grey Tower

Remember [New] in a second! Cheese is indeed the last batch of people to enter the tomb in theory, because the last apprentice who died in training was his same period. After that, the tomb theoretically does not need to bury anyone, so there is no reason to open it.

You ask why gray robes who died in the outside world like alchemists were not brought back here for burial? The answer is simple, in the concept of the first gray robe, apprentices are only members of the gray tower when they are still apprentices. When they have completed their adult trials, it means leaving the nest and living alone.

After that, the gate of the gray tower will still be opened for them, but in terms of identity, the adult gray robe mage and the first gray robe are equal. At least in Clark's eyes they are equal. This means that they no longer belong to the gray tower, but are one of the co-owners of the gray tower, so the gray robe mage will not enter the apprentice's tomb after death, and they must build the tomb by themselves.

Cold and empty.

The crypt beneath the Gray Tower, like the other rooms it contains, is affected by magic, changing the size of the interior. If it is the first time to come here, you will be deeply impressed by the roof that cannot be reached by twenty people stacked on top of each other, and the narrow corridor that is not enough for three people to walk side by side.

This kind of architecture does not abide by all spatial planning principles at all, and it can only arise from some design idea other than practicality, such as faith or worship. Both the cheese and the cursed crow are well-informed now, but they still haven't seen a similar architectural style outside the gray tower.

To some extent, the gray tower itself is also a manifestation of this style. The extremely high spiral staircase is equipped with low doors. If there is no magic, it is also a completely disproportionate building. You must know that most of the towers in this era were only used as watchtowers, and no one would really live in that kind of slender building.

Cheese raised the lantern, and the bright sunlight that had never been seen here penetrated the darkness of the roof, revealing many shadows. Those shadows are hidden in the lines of the stone pillars and stone bricks, if not for such a strong light source, it would be difficult to find them.

"It seems that this is the bug she said." Cheese was surprised that the black things did not respond to the sunlight. Pure sunlight can make many things living in the dark instinctively retreat, even if they have magical powers.

The situation in front of them can only show that those things have the ability to move in the sun, or they are sleeping very deeply, and they are not awakened by the light. Both are possible, this is the tomb of the Gray Tower, who knows what their teacher put here at that time, even if there are a few skeletons of giant dragons buried in it, it is not impossible.

"So, is it true that no one has ever come down here when the teacher is not around?" Curse Crow realized a problem. Every funeral was held by the first gray robe himself. In other words, they were still apprentices at that time. Maybe you don't know much about this tomb.

Because they couldn't tell whether the first gray robe leading the team had used other spells, concealed something, or made certain spells effective and ineffective. This means that if there is any danger in this tomb, there is actually no difference between the two entering now and the first time.

"It seems to be so. It seems that things will become a little troublesome." Cheese understood the worries of his fellow disciples. He looked around, and there was nothing worth noting except for the cold stone wall. The shadow above their heads has not yet started to move, and they are safe for now.

"Thinking about it better, maybe our worries are unfounded. There is no need for the teacher to set up some traps here, it is meaningless to do so."

If this place is really just a tomb, there is nothing wrong with Cursing Crow's words. But now that Alina has pointed out that the source of the Gray Tower's energy is related to this place, this sounds more like a consolation.

Who could have imagined it? In this familiar and no longer familiar tower, everything suddenly became so strange. If the gray-robed mage didn't die outside but died in the tomb of the gray tower, I'm afraid he would be ridiculed by the dead souls here.

"It's here." Cheese tilted his head. In front of him, the light of the lantern spread outwards, and the narrow corridor was slightly wider. It was really just a little bit. The road where three people lined up became five people wide, and this It is the main body of the tomb.

The catacombs are generally not built very large, because there is no need or ability. Even if the gray tower's tomb has an overly high dome, its functional part is still quite conservative. On the walls on both sides, there are rectangular spaces, which are the places where the bones of the dead are placed.

Of course, it is not easy for people who died of magic to have complete bones, so many spaces actually contain pipes or simply only clothes and other symbolic personal items. These apprentices are undoubtedly pathetic, apart from their bodies, most of them have lost their lives before even showing their individuality.

Cheese looked at the corpses in the compartments with a dark expression. Both he and the cursed crow may have been lying here, and the people who were lying here had a chance to stand in their place. Time is kind here, the cold environment prevents the remains from decaying, even in the past many years, many of them still have shriveled skin and flesh.

"I remember him, I trained with him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com later heard that he was burned to ashes by the fire of the devil." Curse Crow walked past a tomb, looked inside and said. There was no body in the tomb, only a clay pot and a stick made of a branch.

"It was indeed a tough time. Demon summoning is a stage with a high incidence of accidents in any issue. Those monsters were cunning and fierce. Some people just lost their lives in a panic."

Cheese also saw the corpse he knew, and he could even remember the other person's laughter, but his face was already blurred.

"Ah, I'm not so worried now. We're safe with them here, aren't we?"

Curse Crow smiled, seeing the corpse of his former companion did not frighten him, but he felt relieved to be surrounded by familiar people. If there are souls in the world, the souls of these companions must protect them here.

"That's right." Cheese nodded, no longer lingering among the bones, holding up the lantern and striding towards the depths.

There were no clues to the source of energy in places they were familiar with, so the target was likely to lie deeper, in the resting place of fellow disciples who had been trained earlier than them.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite curious. Who do you think is the first guy lying here?"
