"Let's go over and take a look."
Looking at the mage tower in the distance, which has returned to calm but whose momentum remains unabated, Rhodes suggested.
Faced with Rhode's proposal, Inota would certainly not refuse. In her eyes, no matter what kind of accident happened or what terrible enemy she encountered, as long as Rhode was by her side, nothing would be wrong. There is no enemy that cannot be defeated by virtue, and there is no enemy that cannot be defeated by Rhodes.
Rhodes held the purple-haired girl's hand, and the two of them soon came to the collapsed Mage Tower. The aftermath of the previous battle blasted the lower level of the Mage Tower into the ground, and the original three floors became the current one. Rhodes swung his Titan Arrow and opened a gap in the third-floor window that was large enough for two people to pass through, and then slowly walked into it.
"This change is..."
As soon as he entered the mage tower, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something. There was a deep look of surprise in his eyes. Rhodes noticed that the light inside the mage tower was dim, and all the magical ritual patterns that were originally hidden and difficult to reveal appeared at this moment. In the inner layer of the mage tower.
The ritual patterns in the mage tower are somewhat similar to what Rhodes experienced in the previous battle. They are all designed for magic elements. Under the transformation of the ritual, the four elements can be transformed to a certain extent, transforming the original certain elements. All the elements of one series are transformed into elements of another series.
This discovery also surprised Rhodes. Even for a legendary mage, it is very difficult to transform magic elements, which is equivalent to changing the essence of magic elements.
The four major magic elements existing in the air are converted into attributeless mana by the mage from the moment they are absorbed into his body. When the mage needs to cast magic, he will convert the attributeless mana into the corresponding Magic elements with attributes, for example, if you need to cast fire magic, the mage will convert the mana without attributes in the body into fire magic elements to complete the spell casting.
However, Rhodes has never heard of a mage who can go beyond the step of attributeless mana and directly complete the element transformation. This approach is equivalent to directly transforming one series of magic elements in the space into another. Compared with the methods used by ordinary mages, the conversion efficiency of magic elements has been improved to an unknown extent.
Just by observing the existence of those ritual patterns, Rhodes can imagine what kind of mystery exists in them. This also makes Rhodes more curious about the things existing in the Mage Tower. The Mage Tower will fuse two elements into itself. It does not seem to be a coincidence that a change occurred after taking authority.
"Perhaps as Erica said, the legacy left by the God of Mage exists in the Mage Tower in front of you."
With this thought in mind, Rhodes walked much faster and hurriedly searched the tower. According to the guidance of the ritual lines, the center of the entire magic ritual should be located at the top of the mage tower, where the magic ceremony was initiated. This change triggered the mutation of the entire Mage Tower. As long as we can reach the top of the tower, we might be able to solve the mystery of the Mage Tower's mutation.
Since there was a ritual prohibiting space magic in the tower, Rhodes had no choice but to climb up with Inota. Perhaps because it has existed in the Candy Plane for too long, the entire Mage Tower has also been turned into candy. During the process of climbing the tower, Inota took down a piece of the wall from time to time and ate it, not forgetting to join Rhodes share.
Rhodes couldn't resist her, so he had to eat the wall that Inota had demolished. Anyway, with Rhodes' current physical condition, even eating steel raw would not be a problem. After eating the wall handed over by Inota, Rhodes realized that it was quite sweet.
Soon, the two arrived at the top of the tower. The moment they climbed to the top of the tower, Rhodes felt something was wrong. The magic elements in the nearby space were extremely rich. It can be said that there was no such magic element in the entire Candy Plane. The dense place is even comparable to the Magic Plains in Rhodes' memory.
Under the package of magic elements, Rhodes saw a shadow. The shadow was wearing a white robe, with an old face, but deep wisdom in its eyes.
"Is that the God of Mage?" Rhodes recognized the face of the phantom. It was Gwen, the God of Mage who had a portrait record in the magic guild. However, after carefully sensing it, Rhodes quickly shook his head. His aura is only at level 1 of the seventh level, which cannot be compared with the legendary God of Mage. It must be some kind of mechanism left by the God of Mage.
Seeing Rhodes and Inota ascending to the top of the tower, Gwen Phantom also looked over, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes. Seeing that the shadow showed no hostility, Rhodes asked proactively: "What is your relationship with the God of Mage of Brakada, Gwen Magnus?"
The shadow answered truthfully: "I am the guardian tower spirit left by Gwen. I am here to guard the precious knowledge he left behind and wait for the arrival of the destined person."
"Guarding the tower spirit? What you did just now didn't sound like you were trying to protect this mage tower. It was more like you were going crazy and out of control and wanted to destroy the entire plane." Rhodes frowned and immediately pointed out the problem in the shadow's words.
"Gwen has ordered that if one day, someone can merge the authority of two elements at the same time, it means that the person's realm has surpassed him, and the knowledge he left behind has no need to continue to exist. At that time, it will It was the moment I took the initiative to die." Xu Ying answered slowly.
After hearing the shadow's answer, Rhodes was slightly stunned. It turned out to be exactly as he imagined. It was because he merged two elemental powers at the same time that he activated the mutation inside the mage tower.
However, it was precisely because of this change that Rhodes confirmed the existence of the Phantom Tower Spirit. If not, Rhodes would not be able to discover the anomaly in this mage tower for a long time. You must know that Rhodes once visited this Mage Tower, but nothing abnormal happened inside the Mage Tower, and the tower spirit never appeared, which made Rhodes feel helpless.
"I have been to this mage tower before, why didn't you come forward to see me then?" Rhodes asked, wondering why there was no trace of the tower spirit before.
"Only people with elemental authority, or Gwen's descendants, can let me show up. The person who came to the Mage Tower last time did not meet this standard." Faced with Rhodes' question, the tower spirit Just replied calmly.
After listening to the tower spirit's answer, Rhodes seemed to understand why things were like this. The last time he came to the mage tower, he didn't even have an elemental authority on his body. Naturally, he failed to attract the tower spirit's attention. It just made Rhodes confused. There is another question: "When I came here before, I clearly used the power of the prophecy card to awaken the former mage god Gwen. Doesn't Gwen's arrival also attract your attention?"
Talling just shook his head: "Gwen himself is not his descendant. If he does not meet the conditions for me to appear, his descendants must come."
Hearing this, Rhodes couldn't help but shook his head. The problem was indeed Erica. He didn't expect that the tower spirit in front of him was so rigid. Even if Gwen appeared in the prophecy card, he couldn't make him realize it. Only when Gwen's descendants come, or someone with elemental authority comes, will he appear.
"Now that I have the authority of two elements, have I met the conditions for you to show up?" Rhodes said helplessly.
The phantom of the tower spirit just replied: "According to the rules set by Gwen, when people with the authority of two elements appear, there is no need for me to exist. Now is the time for my demise. Why do you want to prevent my demise?"
After listening to the words of the tower spirit, even Rhodes didn't know how to answer for a while to convince the shadow in front of him, but he heard Enota beside him chuckle: "Are you stupid? He let you die. Are you going to perish? Don’t you want to live on?”
Listening to Inota's words, Ta Ling's eyes were stunned. His whole body seemed to be short-circuited and he couldn't turn his head around at all: "He...he...I..."
Rhodes stretched out his hand to hold his forehead. Unexpectedly, the phantom of the tower spirit met Enota, who was even simpler than him. He was short-circuited by one sentence. This also made Rhodes couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The tower of Lingkong has a lot of power, but his thinking is not as good as that of Inota beside him.
After thinking for a long time, Ta Ling finally organized his words: "Gwen is my shaper. He used a small piece of his soul to shape me into what I am today. I must completely obey all his orders. Even if he asks me to perish, I have to obey.”
Rhodes just shook his head: "Gwen has completely fallen into the elemental plane a long time ago. No one can continue to give you orders anymore. You don't have to obey his orders anymore. You are free."
After listening to Rhodes' story, the tower spirit shadow was completely stunned and didn't believe the content of Rhodes' words at all: "This is impossible, how could Gwen fall to the elemental plane?"
Rhodes just said slowly: "Have you received any orders from Gwen in these years? What's more, if he successfully integrated the elemental authority, how could the elemental authority come to me now?"
Hearing this, the sadness in Ta Ling's eyes became even greater: "Now even my creator Gwen has completely fallen, and someone has done something that even Gwen can't do. I continue to live in the world without any Meaning, I think I’d better just die here.”
Rhodes was helpless. The phantom of the tower spirit in front of him could not be heard. He was immersed in his own thinking mode. This also made Rhodes unable to do anything for a while. It was Inota who took the initiative to say: "Actually, Before Gwen died, he left a task for you."
After hearing Inota's words, Tarrington's eyes suddenly shone, and he seemed to have found the meaning of living again: "What mission?"
Enota glanced at Rhodes beside him and smiled: "He wants you to recognize this Rhodes as your master and then give me all the delicious food in the Candy Plane!"
When he heard the first half of Inota's words, Rhodes couldn't help but be happy for her. It seemed that during this period of time in the Candy Plane, Inota had grown up a lot. With her cooperation, she still had troubles. Isn't it possible to fool the tower spirit who is more stubborn than her? But when he heard the last half of Inota's sentence, Rhodes couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of old blood. She was still the Inota in his memory, which immediately caused the previous part to completely collapse.
As expected, Ta Ling frowned after listening to Inota's words: "I can understand why I accept that person as my master, but what's the point of giving you all the delicious food? Lord Gwen really knows how to do that. Did you make such an order? This makes me doubt the authenticity of the order. Do you have any evidence on your body?"
Inota scratched her head and seemed to be stunned by Talling's words. She didn't know how to answer, but Rhodes took the initiative and said: "Didn't you see it last time? We came with Gwen. When we get to the tower, doesn’t this still serve as proof? Or do you have to ask me to bring Gwen’s descendants so that you can believe everything I say?”
Listening to Rhodes' explanation, Talling undoubtedly recalled something. When Rhodes came here together with Gwen in the prophecy card, the tower spirit shadow was extremely excited and couldn't wait to meet his former master. However, when he thought of Gwen's last order, he still held back after all. With this idea in mind, except for Gwen's descendants, even his own arrival did not meet the conditions for his appearance. The loyal tower spirit did not show up in the end, but just observed everything in secret.
Although the tower spirit did not show up that time, Rhodes' actions, especially the situation when he and Gwen came together, undoubtedly had penetrated into the tower spirit's heart, making him believe a lot in Rhodes' words, and also Only people who have been in contact with Gwen can convey Gwen's orders to themselves at this time.
Thinking of this, the tower spirit did not hesitate anymore and bowed respectfully to Rhodes: "The guardian tower spirit is willing to recognize Rhodes as its master."
Rhodes nodded, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Speaking of which, he was able to subdue the guardian tower spirit so smoothly, thanks to the assistance of Inota at the side. If she hadn't had a flash of inspiration, she would have wanted to It would take a lot of effort for Rhodes to convince the stubborn tower spirit.
"I need the knowledge left by Gwen, especially about the fusion of elemental authority."
Soon, Rhodes' expression became serious and he revealed the biggest purpose of his trip, which was to leave a precious legacy for the God of Mage. Those legacies are not powerful magic or shining treasures. For a mage, his lifelong efforts and research are the greatest legacy he can leave.
According to what Erica said before, the Candy Plane is the last thing Gwen left behind before going to the Elemental Plane to explore a higher level. The records left in it are likely to be integrated with the mage. What God has learned throughout his life is so precious that it is simply unimaginable.
Now, the tower spirit has successfully recognized itself as its master, and Rhodes can't wait to ask for the information.
