The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 127 Clues to the Tower of Stars

At the end of the month of Frostfall, the coalition forces of the Shining Territory and the White Tower Province finally completed preparations for war.

However, just when Key and the Marquis of the White Tower were preparing to launch the final attack, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.

"Evans?"

In the meeting hall, Sunan couldn't help but be startled after hearing Keyi's words.

"That's right."

Key and the Marquis of the White Tower looked at each other with strange expressions.

"When we first received the letter, we also suspected that the other party was planning some conspiracy, but the people we sent there have investigated clearly and found that the person there is indeed Evans, the legendary figure in the royal family."

The Marquis of the White Tower also nodded: "I have seen the portrait uploaded below. It is indeed Mr. Evans. His appearance is exactly the same as fifty years ago."

Su Nan wondered: "This is strange. Why did he come to our territory alone? And he wants to see me by name?"

Even a three-ringed legendary knight is still unable to defeat a thousand hands.

On the territory of the coalition forces, Key can completely dispatch the Golem Legion and the Black Rock Cavalry Regiment to besiege Evans. As long as no matter the cost, he can be killed by using a sea of ​​​​human tactics!

After all, the legendary knight is not a wizard's apprentice, but has strong combat power and does not have so many strange methods. Once he is surrounded, he will still die.

Not to mention that Sunan is here.

"We don't know his purpose, but I have sent an army of golems to surround the tavern where Evans is."

Keyi looked at Sunan solemnly.

"How about it, do you want to go see him, or should we just take action and take this opportunity to kill Evans?"

As long as Evans is solved, the biggest uncertainty in this war will disappear, and victory will be within easy reach.

Su Nan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll go see him."

He originally planned to meet Evans to see how the other person extended his life.

Besides, he was also curious about the reason why Evans wanted to see him.

Seeing that Sunan had already made a decision, Keyi and the Marquis of Baita stopped talking.

They are all on their own territory anyway, so there is no need to worry even if Evans has any conspiracy.

Arriving at the tavern where Evans was, the place was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Everything you could see was densely packed stone golems, black rock cavalry, and even steel golems.

It can be said that Evans is unable to fly at this moment.

Sunan became more and more curious about Evans' purpose. This legendary figure couldn't come here to die on his own initiative, right?

Pushing open the door of the tavern, the tavern was deserted. Except for an ordinary-looking man in his forties sitting on the middle table, there was no one else.

When his eyes fell on the man, a trace of surprise flashed in Sunan's eyes.

Under his perception, the life force in the man's body was vigorous and surging, as if he was in the prime of life. It was difficult to imagine that this was an 'old man' who was over one hundred and thirty years old.

Obviously, Evans is far from the end of his life.

"I have long admired you, Your Excellency Sunan. Thank you for agreeing to my request for a meeting."

Evans stood up, smiled slightly, and pointed to the seat opposite.

"Would you mind having a drink with me?"

Sunan nodded and sat down opposite Evans. There were two glasses of ale on the wine table.

Judging from the color, it is just the most ordinary ale in the tavern.

Su Nan had no intention of drinking, and asked straight to the point: "What does Mr. Evans want from me?"

Evans didn't care and said with a smile: "I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

"I know that the royal family will lose this war, so I come to ask you to preserve some blood for the Kessler family. In return, I can provide clues to the Tower of Stars."

Tower of Stars?

Su Nan's heart skipped a beat, and she was really surprised now.

He never expected that Evans was looking for him for this matter, nor did he expect that the other party actually had clues about the Tower of Stars.

Thinking of the identity of the Evans royal family, Su Nan felt vaguely aware of it.

"The Tower of Stars is indeed related to the royal family."

Evans smiled slightly: "You can say that."

"In fact, the wizard who built the Tower of Stars was the ancestor of our Kessler bloodline."

"Then why."

Sunan didn't finish speaking completely, but Evans already understood his doubts and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Although our ancestors left us the key to enter the Tower of Stars, those who enter must have wizard qualifications or become a three-ring legendary knight. Unfortunately, after so many years, I am the only member of the royal family who has satisfied the requirements to enter the Tower of Stars. condition."

Su Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "So is it because of the Tower of Stars that you can still maintain strong vitality now?"

"That's right." Evans admitted frankly, "I passed the knight trial in the Tower of Stars and got a bottle of Dawn Potion, which extended my lifespan by almost one-third."

The lifespan of a three-ring legendary knight is about 1230 years. If extended by one-third, it will be 1670 years.

Due to the high physical strength of the legendary knight and the infiltration of elemental power, the legendary knight's body will remain in peak condition unless it reaches the last few years of his life.

It's no wonder that the vitality in Evans' body is so vigorous.

According to him, he can live for at least another thirty or forty years.

However, the potion that can extend one-third of life span is at least the fourth level potion, which is already an area that formal wizards can only touch.

The Tower of Stars is indeed the inheritance of the official wizard, and you can get such good things just as a reward from the Knight Trial.

"What exactly is in the Tower of Stars?" Su Nan asked curiously.

Evans shook his head in shame and said: "You have to pass three trials to enter the Tower of Stars. I was not strong enough. I only passed the first trial the first time and failed the second trial. With good luck, I barely passed the second trial, but I still failed in the third trial. After taking the reward potion, I was teleported out. From the beginning to the end, I was not able to enter the Tower of Stars, so I didn't. Know what’s going on inside.”

"Can the Tower of Stars be entered multiple times?"

This is the first time Su Nan has heard of this.

“As long as you meet the entry requirements, you can try the challenge as many times as you want.”

"However, the Tower of Stars will only appear once every twenty years, and each time it only lasts for two months. During this period, everyone has only one chance to challenge. If they fail, they will have to wait another twenty years."

Sunan frowned secretly, not expecting that the Tower of Stars had such restrictions.

However, the Tower of Stars is a wizard inheritance left by ancient wizards. Its original intention is probably to leave some hope for those with wizard qualifications in this elemental desert, so it makes sense to have stricter restrictions.

"Where is the Tower of Stars?" "I don't know." Evans shook his head, "The Tower of Stars does not exist on the Starlight Continent. Only the moment it appears, I can sense its location through the key, and it every time The places they appear are also random.”

Not on Starlight Continent?

That is in a certain dimension.

Maybe it's a half-dimensional space created by official wizards.

As a result, it is almost impossible to find where the Tower of Stars is before it appears on its own initiative.

Sunan sighed in disappointment, but quickly cheered up.

No matter what, I finally got a clue to the Tower of Stars, which is undoubtedly good news.

However, overjoyed, Sunan did not let down his guard. He took a deep look at Evans and said, "You traded the key to the Tower of Stars with me just to let me retain some of the blood of the Kessler family?"

Evans showed a somewhat complicated expression, sighed and said: "I don't like fighting by nature, and I prefer to travel around. To be honest, I am very repulsive to political struggles and wars. If possible, I don't want to pay attention to this matter at all."

"It's just that I once promised my brother that when the Kessler family is in danger of being destroyed, I will take action to preserve a trace of blood for the family."

"In the current situation, even if I ask you to let the current Grand Duke and his heirs go, you won't agree, right?"

Su Nan looked calm and did not answer, Quan acquiesced.

Cutting off the grass and roots is a quality that any qualified overlord should possess.

It was because Marquis Jinyan and Owen failed to kill Keyi and Sunan that they finally died.

Key has experienced this series of things personally, so it is naturally impossible for him to repeat the same mistakes and leave huge consequences for himself.

He will definitely get rid of the Grand Duke and all royal bloodlines that may directly threaten his dominance.

Of course, if Sunan asked, Keyi would agree, but Sunan had no intention of doing so.

Seeing Sunan's thoughts, Evans finally gave up his last thought, no longer tempted, and said with a sincere expression:

"So I just ask you to leave some blood to the Kessler family, even if it is a collateral line, it doesn't matter."

Sunan said without comment: "I still have a question. You are not weak. Why don't you try to fight and surrender to me so easily?"

After hearing this, Evans couldn't help showing a strange expression.

He seemed to remember something, shook his head and said:

"Forget it, I don't want to die."

"You wizards are all a tricky bunch, with endless tricks and tricks."

"I was very surprised when Ovijiu was able to kill a wizard."

"But even Ovijo died at your hands. I asked myself that I cannot be your opponent. Instead of struggling to the death, taking my own life, and dragging the entire Kessler family to perish together, I might as well make a deal with you. "

"Wizards believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. In my opinion, the Tower of Stars should still be somewhat attractive to you."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow: "You know the wizard quite well."

"I have been traveling over the years and have interacted with several wizards. I have learned a lot about wizards from their mouths." Evans shrugged.

"Oh?" Su Nan suddenly became interested, "Where did they all meet?"

Evans smiled and said, "Is this part of the deal?"

Su Nan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"As long as you hand me the key to the Tower of Stars and tell me the information about the wizards, I can be the one to protect the next member who has the blood of the Kessler family and is no more than five years old."

Evans perked up and said, "Deal, but we have to make an oath and contract!"

"It seems you really know wizards well."

Sunan took a deep look at Evans, but did not refuse.

It would also be good for him to make an oath contract to ensure that the information Evans told him was true, especially about the Tower of Stars.

Any creature with a soul can make an oath contract.

After spending some time, the two made an oath contract.

The moment the contract was reached, Evans showed an expression of relief on his face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

It seems that he really rejects this kind of thing.

Think about it, otherwise with Evans, the legendary knight of three rings, as long as he is willing to stand up and support the royal family, there will not be so many careerists in the Principality of Stars in recent years.

A sufficiently powerful top combat force is no less important to a country than the Dinghai Shenzhen!

After that, Evans took out a stone from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Sunan.

"This is the key to the Tower of Stars."

Su Nan picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. It was actually a stone carved into the shape of a talisman. The material was a bit like jade, and it felt warm and slightly cool when held in the palm of the hand.

The surface is covered with dense enchantment runes, and its complexity is so mysterious that even Sunan, who has reached level 4 in [Magic Item Creation], seems to be dazzled and incomprehensible.

It can be seen that the person who made this 'key' is many times more accomplished than him in the field of [magic item manufacturing].

"It's at least level six or seven."

Sunan thought secretly.

"The first time I entered the Tower of Stars was forty-eight years ago, and the second time was twenty-eight years ago, so the next time the Tower of Stars appears will be twelve years later."

Su Nan rubbed the talisman stone, glanced at Evans, and said with a playful expression: "You must have more than one key in your hand."

Even with the promise to his brother, he did not believe that Evans would be willing to give up the only means of entering the Tower of Stars to him.

If someone really valued family ties so much, he wouldn't be able to ruthlessly sacrifice other people just to preserve a bit of family blood.

Evans laughed and did not admit it, but the answer was self-evident.

Sunan didn't ask further questions, but brought up the topic just now.

"Tell me about the wizards you've met."

Evans nodded and spoke slowly:

"Actually, I only met three wizards in total."

"Two of them were met in the Cangjin Empire and the Jinghua Principality respectively. Although they didn't say it clearly, I can see the aristocratic demeanor in them. Those two are most likely to be from the royal family or the great nobility."

"The third wizard was encountered in the underworld."

"Have you ever been to the underground world?" Su Nan's eyes flashed with surprise.

"It was also a coincidence." Evans recalled, "I tracked a very rare beast during one of my travels. As a result, I got lost in the mountains. I accidentally entered the underground world and was attacked by a very scary monster. Thanks to The wizard came to my rescue."

"He said his name was Traveler."
