230. The Mage Tower in the Plane

Half-planes!

As we all know, the word plane is not an ordinary word, and under normal circumstances, it only appears in some very high-end and high-end conversations.

For example, "I went to the fire elemental plane again today, and the place where the birds don't poop is a little hotter, but there are still a lot of things. Or "Hey, what did I find on the Abyssal Plane?" A lonely demon! As long as you twist your head and drain the blood, it is still edible. It's 5,000 times more protein than beef, chicken-flavored, crunchy! And so on and so forth, which is not something that the average person is qualified to participate in.

Basically, a plane is a complete world, and it has very complete laws at all levels, and it is these laws that constitute all the necessary existence of a plane. The only difference is that the level of the plane is different, and the high-level plane has more complete and detailed law differentiation than the low-level plane, and its energy intensity is also more abundant than that of the low-level plane, which is why the strength of people living in the high-level plane is always higher than that of the low-level plane.

And the half-plane - in fact, this is not even a plane, it is just that the mages are trying to make themselves appear more high-end and high-end.

Usually, when a mage enters the legend, they will look for a suitable broken place in the void - the source of these broken lands is often that the energy of a plane (world) has been depleted and can no longer maintain the automatic repair of the world wall, so it is completely destroyed in the continuous consumption and eventual arrival of the Void Storm, and becomes countless pieces of land floating in the void - according to the strength of each person. The Broken Lands chosen by these mages also vary in size, as they need to use defenses similar to World Walls on these lands to prevent the Void Storm from destroying their lands.

After all. Once these lands become the half-planes of the Masters, the Masters will store a lot of their personal property in them, which is equivalent to a private treasury. And security is safer than any other space storage - at least, the only thing the mages have to deal with is the attack of the Void Storm, not some of the most sophisticated magic thieves, or a crisis such as the destruction of their own storage in battle.

But the most important thing is that the half-plane existence is what supports these mages to be able to perform magic. They all build a large pool of mana or even elemental pools in the half-plane. This is one of the main reasons why legendary mages can easily cast forbidden spells in addition to their own mana, as they have their own half-dimensional pool of mana that provides an almost infinite amount of energy.

Half-plane of the storage zài. It's common knowledge that almost every magician must know.

A mage who does not have a half-plane cannot even be regarded as a legendary powerhouse, but can only be regarded as a "high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who has mastered the legendary ability", as for whether he can activate this legendary ability. Who knows. It's just for the vast majority of people. The half-plane is equal to "wealth", especially a very few very famous and powerful magicians, and their half-plane can even be equated with "dragon treasure".

No one would resist exploring a half-plane.

Of course, in fact, not many mages will leave a half-plane for people to explore. Because if the spatial anchor point is not determined in the material realm, the way to enter the half-plane can only be opened by the magician himself, and if you want to take another means to enter the half-plane of a magician, then you must know the spatial coordinates of the other half-plane.

The vast majority of half-planes. will all disappear into the Void with the fall of the mage - stop drooling over the wealth that still preserves the zài half of the plane, which has long since been shattered by the fall of the mage and their plane being shattered by the Void Storm. Floating in the void. This is also the reason why the vast majority of dimensional travelers can occasionally find some good things from the Void - it is naturally a very good thing to be able to pass through the infinite baptism of the Void Storm without turning into a broken metal thing.

The manufacturing method of space storage equipment is actually a weakened version of the half-plane.

So when Sean and the others heard Cecilia personally admit that this was a half-plane left by the Fa Master, everyone, including Sean, was drooling.

Yes, no one would resist scavenging a half-plane that hasn't been shattered by the Void Storm.

Any mage, if their plane is invaded, they will be the first to find out - there is only one situation they will not find out, and that is if they are patronized by the Void Thieves. As for the entry of the spatial anchor, it will be detected before the first time, to be precise, you may not have opened the spatial anchor, the magician is already waiting for you to enter in his half-plane, and then when you are happy that you have finally knocked on the door of a magician's safe, you will find a smiling magician throwing five basketball-sized fireballs at you.

Most of the mages who leave spatial anchors on their half-planes do so out of one consideration: inheritance and testing.

They will leave their descendants a wealth that should be quite rich in his opinion, but this wealth will not be directly handed over to their heirs, but will leave a series of clues and hints for their descendants to find this spatial anchor and open it, so as to inherit the wealth they have left behind. They believe that their heirs must prove their strength through guò in order to inherit the wealth of the magician's life, otherwise they would rather let it be lost in the void.

And the magician will leave hints and clues, then it must be after his own death or fall.

Therefore, the half-plane in front of Sean and the others is naturally a borderless land now. Otherwise, before opening this half-plane, the one who opens it will suffer the wrath of the magician. And if it is from this half-plane heir opens. Then the spatial anchor will be canceled - don't doubt it, the clues and hints left by the mage teach their children how to relocate a spatial anchor, and often open a mage's half-plane. Then it must be a legendary mage.

In the ancient Mage Tower education, there were many old mages who would transfer their half-planes to their disciples after death.

Similarly, the mages who will leave spatial anchors as a means of "inheritance and testing" must also be mages from before the Age of Chaos. Nowadays, the magicians on the Miracle Continent will not do such an almost "unreasonable" act to their descendants, because it has been fully proven in the past history that ten magicians who left spatial anchors. In the end, only half of the throne may be able to obtain succession in the future.

The reason why I say half-position, that's because this guy had good luck, at least opening it up before his Void Storm completely shattered the half-plane. Of course. It's possible that this guy isn't the son of the half-plane magician, but his grandson or great-grandson, or even generations later, who knows. But at least, the stronger the magician. After its fall or death. Even if the half-plane is cut off from the protection of the power of the mage, it can be maintained for a very long time.

"This plane looks like it's thousands of years old." After entering the island through the Guò Gate, Cecilia only glanced up at the thinning plane wall in the sky, and already had a relatively accurate judgment, "It seems that all the history of the Savage Land can basically be traced back to before the Age of Chaos. ”

After awakening the phoenix bloodline, and with the gradual improvement of strength, Cecilia can now recall more and more memories from the bloodline. Therefore, in terms of a lot of knowledge, she has actually inherited a lot of knowledge from her ancestors. Maybe she doesn't have as much knowledge as Sean, but she is very specialized in magic. Cecilia can also definitely afford the words "knowledgeable".

"Even the twilight era." However, after hearing Cecilia's words, Sean quickly added, and it was clear that he remembered the old lich Ryker again.

"However, this plane can't be considered a 'half' anymore." After looking around, Sean, who obviously knew something about the term "half-plane", quickly spoke, and regarded it as a change of topic, "The general 'half' plane will not be as beautiful as it is now, at least no magician will waste the power of rules on the creation of these half-planes, which is almost ......"

"It's like a god." Cecilia nodded approvingly.

At this time, the "half-plane" where Sean and the others are located is a very real island.

There are lush green fields full of unknown flowers, and because there are no trees, the view of the island is very wide and clear, and a little far away is a small hill with a tall tower like a mage's tower. Surrounding the island is a lake with a clear bottom, and there are many unique fish species that are not found in the black water, but these lakes are obviously sheltered by a unique energy, so these lakes do not escape from this plane. In the surrounding area under the hillside, there are many low buildings that are very incompatible with the style of the towers, compared to the exquisiteness, elegance and solemnity of the towers, these low buildings are as crude as children playing with mud.

There is no doubt that these low buildings were built by the Blackwater Tribe after they settled in this dimensional space.

It can be said that this island has a beautiful place like the outside world.

If it weren't for the "failure" that appeared in the sky over the island at this time, then this plane would probably be even more beautiful.

The entire half-plane sky is a clear scene of blue sky and white clouds, the only flaw is that there is no real sun in this sky, but the former owner of this plane seems to have used some special method to create a warm and comfortable feeling similar to a sunny day in this space. It was only with the fall or death of this master that some holes began to appear in the sky of this plane—these holes destroyed the original clear sky scene of blue sky and white clouds, and exposed the front of the void hidden by this illusion: it was an endless darkness, and from time to time a purple lightning as thick as a house would flash through these holes.

All these signs make it clear that this is not a paradise. It's a real, personal plane created by a legendary archmage.

The average legendary mage doesn't put the effort into building his own plane, because it's not necessary.

But it's clear. The former master of the plane where Sean and the others are at the moment is obviously not an ordinary legendary mage. Cecilia alone has observed several different laws here, and although these laws have not yet been completely perfected, it is indeed not an ordinary person to be able to comprehend so many laws and use them in his own plane, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to call him a god.

Because as long as the laws in this plane can be completely perfected. And life is born naturally, so the mage who created this plane is a god relative to the life of this plane. In time. Even if this mage falls, this plane will not disappear, but will continue to grow and grow until it becomes a new high-level plane or is broken and enslaved in the process of growth.

"Let's not lament the situation on this plane just yet. Let's deal with the serious things first. Sean was the first to speak. It is estimated that the most valuable thing must be in that mage tower, of course, it is not ruled out that the mage tower has been looted, but according to the habits of legendary mages, the real good things are carefully preserved, and the treasures that will be taken away on the surface are usually not the most precious treasures. ”

"Isn't the more we do, the better?" Harding couldn't help asking.

"Even if I wanted to do as much as possible, we couldn't actually bring that much with us." Sean sighed helplessly, "Unless I can get another space storage device, it's in our current situation." You can only pick some things that are more valuable or small enough to take away. ”

"Okay." Harding suddenly remembered that when he was in Maine's stronghold, Sean had abandoned a large number of chests. This isn't like the style Sean would do, so he has roughly figured out what is going on, "It looks like you've gained a lot from this wild trip." ”

"Actually." Sean held out a finger and corrected, "A lot of things aren't easy to get rid of, and a lot of them are my own personal treasures, and they have nothing to do with this wild trip." ”

"Okay." Harding shrugged his shoulders and decided not to continue arguing with Sean on the subject.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people from the Blackwater Tribe in this plane at this time, the group of five quickly ran towards the small hillside.

The island was slightly larger than expected, so the journey to the tower took a little longer. However, fortunately, there were no people from the Blackwater tribe in the plane, so the possibility of a battle was avoided. However, although it took a little more time to travel, at least everyone reached the main gate of the tower on the hillside without any danger.

This mage tower is no different from the regular mage tower on the Miracle Continent, but the style is a little more ancient and solemn.

The main entrance of the Mage Tower is a huge black iron gate about eight meters high. The material of the iron door cannot be studied and distinguished, but when the two iron doors are put together, the intricate patterns carved on them can form a powerful magic array, according to Cecilia's magic, it is said that it can reflect all magic below level 10, and the iron door can only be opened by pure brute force.

Considering the iron door, which weighs several tons, it is obvious that a normal person cannot open it.

So, the owner of the Mage Tower had placed two small war golems on his doorstep - these eight-meter-tall objects were terrifyingly destructive, and their full force could easily destroy most of the fortified gates. However, it is a pity that at this moment, these two small war puppets are completely paralyzed, and there are many extremely obvious signs of damage on their bodies, it seems that someone has pried these war puppets open with extremely rough means, and then took away the precious materials inside.

The iron door, on the other hand, also opened a gap - a gap in terms of height, but it was enough to accommodate a normal adult.

Sean and Cecilia and the others rushed in.

Entering the interior of the Mage Tower, the first thing Sean and the others saw was an extremely spacious circular library.

The height of the dome is between twelve and fifteen meters, because of the lack of measuring tools. So Sean can only do visual inspection. However, the space inside the Mage Tower is about 500 square meters. According to normal floor specifications, there is a floor of substrate to stand on about every four to five meters. It's just that it's not like the ceiling, it's just for the shelves that stand against the walls and for normal walking and finding books.

"It's a terrible thing!" Cecilia yelled with some annoyance.

The books in such a huge library are probably of great historical value and significance, and it is likely that there will even be many rare editions of mage manuscripts or other similar books. Perhaps, this qiē is the most precious treasure that the master of this plane has left to his children. It's just a pity that almost all the books were destroyed by the Blackwater tribesmen who broke into this place.

Their search method is extremely crude, which is the most typical rummag-and-cabinet search. Even to make sure that nothing was hidden in the book folders, many books were torn into pages. As for the more precious manuscripts and parchments, they were inevitably destroyed in the mière way. A large number of pages of books turned into powder as Sean and others entered at this time.

"Can I burn the entire Blackwater tribe?" Cecilia turned her head to look at Sean, with a rare seriousness and anger in her eyes, "It's really ...... It's really ...... It's so damning! So many books. I've only seen it in the Sage Library at Maggie's School of Magic! These...... These ......"

Sean reached out and patted Cecilia's head. "It's not for nothing that the Savage Land would be called 'Savage'. Obviously, the rat-eyed guys of the Blackwater tribe don't know the importance of knowledge, they care more about a bunch of things that exude jewelry. ”

"These books are all ruined." Spector also sighed, his eyes also showed regret, he picked up a book that looked relatively complete, but just by touching it, all the pages turned into dust, "There is no maintenance at all!" ”

"It's not something that can be preserved by simple maintenance." Cecilia pursed her lips. Then he pointed to the big iron gate where everyone came in, "The magic array on that iron gate is in addition to the magic counterattack." Another function is to fix the space forever to ensure that the flow rate of the inner and outer spaces is different. In other words, we may spend months in it, but only a few days to the outside world. …… However, this qiē must be established when the gate is closed in order to ensure that the operation of the magic array is effective. ”

"But those barbarians of the Blackwater tribe don't know, they don't even know how to open the gate." Sean pursed his lips, glanced around at all the books that had become scum and dust inside the mage tower, and said lightly, "I guess they must have paid a very heavy price in order to dismantle that war puppet, and finally opened the door by violent means, and the result...... I forgot to close the door. ”

"Hmph." Cecilia snorted dissatisfiedly.

"But what are we doing here?" Harding's face looked extremely confused, "Just to come to this library to move books?" …… Even if you don't have anything in your storage, you won't be able to take all the books with you. ”

"Of course not." Sean's face also showed a look of doubt, "It stands to reason that what I'm looking for should be here, but why ......?"

In the whole space, there is nothing but books, there is nothing else at all. But I'm afraid that even if there were, it would have been looted by the people of the Blackwater Tribe and taken away, and it would be impossible for them to remain here. After all, what the Blackwater Tribe is guarding is not what is in this mage tower, but the rare fish species in the lake water of this dimensional space, and it is obvious that the Blackwater Tribe also tried to bring these fish species to the outside world to cultivate, but they failed.

Therefore, it was necessary to arrange manpower to guard it.

However, Sean has no interest in those at all, it is just some unmutant fish that taste good, and maybe you can temporarily get some ability bonuses after eating them.

"What exactly are you looking for?" Heatley had managed to walk around, which of course meant that she had just turned a lot of books to dust.

"Uh......" Sean's face showed a hint of confusion, "maybe...... It's a bone-like thing. ”

"Perhaps?" Harding turned his head to look at Sean.

"Probably ......"

"Probably?" This time it was Cecilia's turn.

"Probably ......"

"Possibly?" Heatley blinked.

"I'm sorry, Lord Sean, can I ask, do you really know what you're looking for?" Even Spector couldn't help but interject.

"Well, all I know is that the thing I'm looking for is called 'Holy Demon Bone', and I guess it's some kind of bone-like thing." Sean said helplessly, "Because I haven't seen anything like this before, and I don't even have any description of the Demon Hunting Notes, I really don't know what this thing looks like." …… However, I followed the method written in the manuscript and asked the people of the Void to help me investigate, and the Quest Stone shattered into powder here. ”

"So you're deducing that the thing is here?" Cecilia knew that the Exploration Stone was actually a combination of magic and alchemy, and Cecilia was also involved in the production of zuò, so she also had some impressions of the principle of that thing, "If I'm not mistaken, the detection range of the Exploration Stone can't be too accurate, and it's probably within a radius of thirty kilometers." …… If I'm not mistaken, the Blackwater tribe is also in this range. ”

"But isn't this plane the weirdest thing?" Sean asked, pointing his finger at the foot where he was standing.

"In a sense, indeed." Cecilia nodded, but then showed a helpless face, "But the most precious thing in this dimensional space is undoubtedly these books, and now that all the books have been destroyed, I really don't think there is anything else in this plane that is worth looking for." ”

"That's not right." Sean suddenly seemed to remember something, and said, "This is a half-face of a mage, right?" Even though it looks like a world, it's actually the personal plane of a legendary mage, right? ”

Cecilia nodded.

"So, what about the mana pool?" Sean suddenly spoke, "We all know that the water in the lake outside may be clear, but it's not the water of the magic pool. The overabundance of mana will change from gaseous to liquid, and then from liquid to solid and crystallized. But ......"

"There are no magic crystals in those lakes outside." Cecilia's mind finally caught up with Sean, "I should have found this sooner!" As a result, after seeing the destruction of these books, I actually forgot about the magic pool. …… But when we stood on the hillside of this mage tower, we could see the entire dimensional space in full view, and we didn't see anything like the mana pool or anything like it......

"Unless it's out of our sight." Sean spoke.

At this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the ground inside this mage tower. (To be continued......)

PS: If you write it any further, it will exceed the 1.2W limit for the number of words to be updated, so I'll cut it here.
