Chapter 34: The Terrible Tower of Babel
It is not for nothing that Nebula has such an arrogant idea, the distance of eight thousand meters is actually not that far, an adult can almost reach it after walking for two hours without stopping, even a child should be able to reach it in four hours.
Although the Tower of Babel is for people to climb up, even if it is ten times more difficult, three days is enough for a child to climb to the top.
There is actually another reason why Nebula is so confident, on the way to the Tower of Babel, Nebula kept using the "Elven Dictionary" to compare the magic shield spell in the "Basic Primary Magic Spell" desperately translated. It turned out that Nebula was translated shortly after lunch. Nebula then tried to chant the magic spell of the magic shield, and finally succeeded in releasing it before the magic circle used for lighting was closed.
Although the magic shield released by Nebula for the first time was a little distorted, it only lasted for nearly a minute, and it was quite difficult to see Nebula maintain the appearance of a magic shield, but this was indeed a magic shield, a magic shield that could block attacks and protect lives!
The magic shield, a primary magic, can completely resist damage from the outside world if it can be fully penetrated. Even if the damage is far beyond the defense of the magic shield, as long as there is enough mana output, it can still maintain the integrity of the magic shield and resist nearly 90% of the damage in excess of the damage.
It takes a lot more mana to block more damage than to maintain a magic shield, and even the mana cost of unleashing offensive magic is not as good as the cost of using a magic shield to block excess damage, but the perfect protection of a magic shield is undeniable.
Even though the magic shield that Nebula is now releasing is only in its infancy, it can only barely maintain the magic shield, and when it comes to maintaining the magic shield, it doesn't even have the strength to release other magic. However, Nebula's magic shield is also enough to resist forty percent of the excess damage, which already has a great protective effect.
The magic shield should be regarded as a perfect defense, and the reason why it is recognized by magic researchers as being able to resist nearly ninety percent of the damage of the excess part is actually because the magic shield cannot completely filter the shock in the damage when it resists the damage that exceeds the defense, that is, it cannot completely resist the secondary damage. The only one that can resist secondary damage is the elemental shield of a level 30 elemental mage or the origin shield of a level 70 mage.
Nebula confidently pushed open the wooden door of the Tower of Babel, and what greeted Nebula was the magic crystal of the Tower of Babel.
This magic crystal that emits orange light is polished into a diamond shape, and the crystal is engraved with countless cumbersome and small inscriptions, and the periphery of the crystal is guarded by nearly physical inscriptions, if anyone can read these inscriptions, then he will be sure that even the magister can't do anything with this magic crystal, unless the magister has reached the master level in the inscription, otherwise I am afraid that even the powerful magic like Ice Roar will have no effect on this crystal.
As Nebula looked at the magic crystal in a daze, a sharp spear suddenly swept from Nebula's back.
Nebula immediately sensed the wind whistling behind him, but it was too late, and it was impossible to dodge the spear's attack.
But at this time, Nebula was not in a hurry, but calmly turned around.
Nebula saw a man with a spear in the faint light of the magic crystal, and his sweep only caused the spear to sink slightly into Nebula's magic shield.
As for why Nebula has a magic shield on it? That's because the book "Elan's Magical Travels" describes the hero's carefulness and wisdom, and he always wears a magic shield on his body when he enters an unknown place, and because of this detail, the protagonist's life has been saved many times.
Although Nebula's magic shield is only in the initial stage, it can only withstand nearly forty percent of the excess damage, but if it can't even exceed the defense of the magic shield itself, then there is no damage at all.
Even if Nebula didn't know why, he did know that the man was hostile to him. Nebula immediately chanted the spell of the magic arrow to the master who had withdrawn the spear, and the near-complete magic shield became distorted as Nebula chanted the magic spell, but it still did not disappear after all. Being able to chant other magic spells while supporting a magic shield was a huge step forward for Nebula.
"Mr. Magician! Wait a minute! Please don't shoot! I was mistaken! "When the guard-looking young man saw that he had failed to strike, the other party immediately chanted a spell, and the guard brother didn't believe that the magic spell chanted by the other party was an auxiliary.
In order to reassure Nebula from chanting the magic spell, the guard immediately threw away the spear in his hand and took two steps back.
Seeing this, Nebula also stopped chanting and took two steps back.
It's not that Xingyun is stupid, the other party has already made a mistake, even a child knows that after being punched by other children, he has to find a way to fight back.
But at this time, Nebula had to retreat, because Nebula felt that if he continued to chant the spell of the magic arrow, even if he could successfully release the magic arrow with a lot of mana, the magic shield on his body would disappear due to the lack of mana supply. After all, Nebula's magic power is only at the level of a magic apprentice, and it is no problem for Nebula to maintain a basic magic shield, but if you maintain this magic shield and cast a spell to release a level 20 magic arrow, it will definitely be insufficient in magic power.
In fact, at this time, if Nebula casts a spell and releases not a magic arrow, but a level 10 magic bullet, there may be no problem, but Nebula only has these two magic now.
If you want to cast a magic arrow, you can't maintain a magic shield, and if you want to maintain a magic shield, you can't chant a magic arrow spell.
This is just playing with people!? It's like having a shield and spear warrior use only a shield or just a spear, how much more power can be used?
But the big brother of the guard on the opposite side didn't know Nebula's predicament, and he thought that Nebula was merciful enough to give him a chance to explain.
The young guard took two steps back again, and lit a kerosene lamp he had placed on the stone staircase next to him with the flint and steel in his hand.
Only then did Nebula fully see the appearance of the young guard.
A typical pointed chin and nail face, the eyes are not very clear due to the dimness, but since his hair looks like tan, then the eyes should be either blue or green.
I don't know this person! So how could he attack himself inexplicably?
Could it be that he is a remnant of the Iris family? To get revenge on yourself?
Just as Nebula was guessing wildly, the big brother of the guard finally asked Nebula in a low voice after hesitating for a while
Confused! Nebula is really confused!
When an inexplicable person inexplicably attacks you, and then inexplicably asks you to stop the attack, and then inexplicably asks you if you are a woman?
Do you dare to say that you are not stupid? No! Maybe even go crazy!
Anyway, Nebula was already stunned even if he wasn't crazy, and after being stunned for a long time, Nebula asked the guard, "Am I like a girl?" ”
The guard nodded subconsciously at first, but hurriedly shook his head after seeing Nebula's ugly face.
Nebula couldn't stand still, even if the magic shield had disappeared, Nebula didn't care, rushed to the front of the guard, grabbed the leather armor on the guard's chest and asked, "Where the hell do I look like a girl?" I'm a man!! ”
With the exception of human/demon, any man should behave this way when he is mistaken for a woman, even if it's just a boy.
The guard was grabbed by Nebula's breastplate but did not resist in the slightest, but slowly stretched out his finger and pointed at Nebula's head.
Without hesitation, Nebula let go of the guard's leather armor and reached out to touch his hair from top to bottom.
It does seem to be a little longer, but it's only up to the shoulders. And from the outside, I look like a man no matter how I look!? I can't be a mother!!
Seeing that Nebula was still staring at him, the guard pointed to Nebula's left hand with some trembling.
Nebula looked down at his outstretched left hand suspiciously, there was nothing at all! Nebula looked at the guard again, but seeing that the guard was still pointing to his left hand, Nebula shook his left hand up and down in confusion, as if to indicate that there was nothing in his hand at all.
After shaking violently on Nebula's left hand, a red ribbon suddenly appeared! Nebula couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the red ribbon that suddenly appeared.
Isn't this a red bow? How did it end up tied to your own hands?
At this time, Xingyun also fully understood why the group of guards who seemed to be going to catch Shami stared at him fiercely when he left the Ice and Snow Village, and also understood why the guards in front of him mistook him for a girl.
A kid with shoulder-length hair and a red bow on his hand, can anyone be sure that he must not be a girl?
As for who gave him this bow, Nebula also recalled. It was given to her by Milia's sister the day before she said she was leaving, and she tied it to herself seriously at that time. It's just that because the clothes on his body are a little thicker and the cuffs are a little longer, he didn't realize the existence of this bow at all, and Shami seems to have vaguely mentioned this bow, but he is already floating, how can he still care about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Nebula's question was half solved, and all that remained was why the guard attacked him, so Nebula continued to ask the other party
After a while, Nebula finally knew why this guard had come to the Tower of Babel on a cold night, and it turned out that he was also one of the guards who had come to capture Shami.
It may be that the only place that can be reached by the Ice Hill is the Tower of Babel or the Snow Village, and it is unlikely that Sammy will return to the Snow Village if she is wanted, so she can only escape through the Tower of Babel.
In fact, their team of guards had been waiting in the Tower of Babel for a day, but they hadn't even seen the shadow of Na Shami, and they didn't have any news of Shami until the magic array in the Ice Village was closed.
Fearing that the other teams would take the credit, the guards scattered to capture Shami, who had been on the run for three days, and the young guard named Rouse had left behind to guard the Tower of Babel.
Therefore, after Nebula entered the Tower of Babel, Rouse would not hesitate to attack Nebula, but because they were trying to capture the target alive, Rouse did not attack Nebula ruthlessly, but only swept with a spear instead of stabbing it.
As for why Rouse has such respect for a little boy mage like Nebula, it is because Rouse is actually only a level 10 junior warrior.
Rouse can't even grasp the fighting spirit very well, if that sweep has some fighting spirit attached to it, not to mention that it can be like a bamboo, at least it will not be in vain.
Such two people can be said to be half a pound against eight taels -- each other.
Rouse also knew that Nebula was going to the magic academy in the Magic Forest to learn magic, but on the way, he was deceived by Shami, who was pursued by his own guards, and went to the teleportation scroll of the Tower of Babel and the five thousand gold coins used to ride the magic flying ship.
Rolls was disappointed for a long time after hearing the news, after all, they had been running in the snow for a long time to capture this Shami, and they still allowed Shami to escape from the frozen snow.
Nebula didn't care if Rouse was depressed or lost, because Nebula himself was already annoyed. The thought that Sami had reached the Tower of Babel before herself and used her teleportation scroll to reach the top of the tower made Nebula's fire even stronger.
So Nebula, with a fit of rage, prepared to climb directly to the tower, which led to the sky.
But just a few steps up the stairs, I found a terrifying thing! This stone staircase, which is only two palms wide for adults, has no handrails! The stone staircase can float steadily in the air!!
At this time, Rolls, who was wrapped in a thin blanket on the side, said to Nebula: "Little magician, if you don't want to die at such a young age, you'd better not try to climb this Tower of Babel. The most difficult part of this Tower of Babel is not the magic golems made of stone, but the ladder! There are no armrests and they are as narrow as they are. Don't think that if you are careful, you will be fine, think about it, what will happen if you make a mistake if you climb such a high place? ”
Xingyun subconsciously tried to think about it, and when he climbed to the nineteenth floor of the Tower of Babel, he accidentally stepped on the air
Thinking that he would fall from such a height, Nebula's little face couldn't help but turn a little green.
It's not a matter of being smashed into meat sauce, but in the process of falling, there is some intimate contact with the stone steps floating in the air from time to time, maybe the hands, feet, and head have been separated from the body before the fall
Nebula couldn't help but shudder fiercely, this Tower of Babel is really terrifying!!
