Chapter 656

Passing through the random door is like passing through the most ordinary door. There is no special feeling. Taking a step forward, Shuer found that he had entered another room. Looking back, he saw that the door he came in was open, and The only difference outside is that it opens inward. Everything else is basically the same, the same blue light curtain, the same solid wall. It's hard to believe that you came out of here.

Is it still connected to the outside?As soon as the question appeared, it began to swirl in his mind uncontrollably. Xiure subconsciously reached out his hand. This time, his body did not move, but his arm reached into the blue light screen.

It was not hindered at all, and the front end of the arm seemed to disappear, sinking into the light curtain.

Sure enough, it was not an illusion just now, there was indeed no special feeling. The touch of the arm was like stretching into the air. It should have reached directly to the opposite side. It was empty at first, but then... it seemed that it touched something very soft.

Um?Xiu Er blinked, this touch... seems to be...

Withdrawing his hand as quickly as possible, the look on Shuer's face instantly became as holy as a saint. He took a few steps back and turned around, looking at the reception room seriously. Well, it's a very nice room, with tables and chairs. It has a floor and a ceiling, hahaha, it’s really a great reception room.

"Yeah, haha, great." An elegant and soft voice sounded from behind, which was Archbishop Judy's unique voice, "It's a very interesting random door, and it's easy to use, isn't it?"

When Xiuer turned around, he saw Judy's half-smiling face, and his eyes moved downward subconsciously. Ahem, he had better move away quickly, but he must admit that the touch was really good and definitely not in line with his age.

"I very much doubt that you did it on purpose, but if you think about it carefully, I would probably have the same curiosity and do the same thing, so I just think it was an accident for the time being." Judy rolled her eyes with a subtle movement She was full of charm, "Here's Mr. Edson who came in first."

"I am here."

Just as Xiure was pouting at the ajar door in the corner, the yellow-robed mage opened the door and walked out. There were eleven teacups on the tray in his hand, short and fat. Master Edson moves like a ball rolling on the ground, but with his strength and status, few people dare to think that his actions are funny, at least they dare not say it out loud.

"These things were originally done by the apprentices." Edson put down the tray and wiped his sweat with his robe. The temperature in the room was very comfortable and the humidity was moderate. Unfortunately, he would still sweat all over if he moved a little bit. " But today's situation is special. For the sake of confidentiality, we have driven everyone in the tower back to their own rooms. We have no choice but to do it ourselves. How about our random door? It's pretty good for me. The greatest invention of this era, damn it, the design of the previous magic tower is simply anti-intellectual, with so many corridors going around and around, and I don’t even think about it, is the energy of the mages used for this kind of thing?"

"Haha..." If you are lazy, you will admit that you are lazy. Why do you find so many excuses? Shuer secretly cursed, but this Edson's character is obviously more interesting, which reminded Shuer subconsciously of a certain dwarf who likes to dance on the table. Idiot, don't tell me, even the body shape is a bit similar, no... Ahem, this is too rude, Shuer kicked away the distracting thoughts in his heart, "Indeed, a great idea, but I suddenly remembered something The question is, Moria probably doesn’t know the access code, and even if she knew it, she wouldn’t know how to operate it. How did she run out to have a barbecue just now?”

"Because it's not closed." Very good, a deer ran into the house, Moria said happily from behind, "Don't you think it's very exciting to do something with the door open, always worried about whether someone will come from outside? After seeing it, I feel like stealing... huh huh."

"Haha, when there are non-mage visitors, there will be a separate door leading to the visitor's room, which is set to a normally open state for visitors to come and go at any time. Of course, the physical doors at both ends will still be closed." Pretend not to see Shuer. A violent act, Edson explained with a smile, "But this broken tower may not have other visitors for several years, so these designs are basically useless."

"Originally, this kind of backup measure is prepared for special situations. Even if it is not used once, it must be prepared, let alone this." The elegant red-robed mage walked out of the random door as if emerging from a curtain of water, " Lord Shuer, I think you will have many opportunities to use the random door of the central tower in the future. Please be careful and try not to extend your hand like before."

"What, is it dangerous?" Xiuer raised his eyebrows and already reacted, "Well, what will happen if the connection between the two ends is suddenly interrupted midway?"

"It is generally impossible. The random door has been designed with consideration that as long as it is in use, it cannot be closed manually. But no matter how small the probability of an accident is, as long as it is not zero, it is possible, such as when the energy source is suddenly interrupted. Category."

"So what happens?"

"Ah……"

"Okay, I understand." Xiure decided that he must be as quick as possible when passing through the random door in the future. He was not interested in finding another part of his body in another room hundreds of meters away. "Don't worry, I will help you put it back together when the time comes." Militty's voice was always so special with a hint of charm in her laziness, "You can believe in the skills of our necromancers, we can definitely do it. , provided that you turn into a skeleton first, then I will put you and my flat chest in my collection to watch every day."

"Haha, you kid is quite interesting." Edson had already sat down at the conference table. Well, he would never stand if he could sit. This was his habit for many years. "Some time ago, we and Wei Wei Sari mentioned that Mia's research was completed together with you, and you are actually qualified to join the Core Council, but Vesalius said that you actively refused, do you have any concerns?"

"People are dying. Joining the core council is just a waste of everyone's time. With one more person, everyone will have to devote part of their energy to adapting to each other. As soon as they adapt, they will return to the original state. It is simply asking for trouble." Mirity pointed out. He didn't mind mentioning his physical condition, so he said naturally, "So I'll forget it, Youping... Mia's joining is enough."

"People who are dying? Oh, this is a common problem in your school." Tesla in red robe also sat next to Edson. Obviously, the two mages are not as good at socializing as the green robed mage. They don't even have Realizing that the guests should be seated first, "But it seems that you are about to be promoted. Once promoted, the problem of body erosion will be easily solved, so you won't be considered a person who is about to die."

"Then let's wait until we get promoted. Accidents like this can happen at any time." Mility shrugged, "There's no need to rush in the next few years."

"I've talked to her about all this." The owner of the Black Tower, Andrea Vesalius, always hides himself in a black robe. Fortunately, Meredith has not developed a similar habit, otherwise she would have to watch less of it. He saw a lot of scenery, "It's up to her to decide specifically. Black Tower still has a few recommendation places. When she decides, I can recommend them at any time."

"I envy your Black Tower." Asimov, who is in gray robe, is in charge of the Gray Tower. He always has a pungent smell of engine oil and gunpowder. "There are often vacancies. We only have one vacancy in the Gray Tower now. Several people are working for this." There’s a lot of competition for spots.”

"Because most of us in the Black Tower die early." Perhaps because they have dealt with death too much, the necromancers talk about their own deaths so naturally, as if they are talking about unrelated people, "If you are envious, If you can let them die a few more, there will naturally be vacancies."

I had a lot of fun talking to myself.

Xiure looked at Moria, Moria looked at Judy, and Judy looked at Xiure. The three of them were filled with helplessness.

After all, they are a group of mages. This is the unanimous idea of ​​​​the three of them. Even if they have foresight, even if they have a keen political sense, even if they know how to persuade others step by step, they are still a group of mages after all. They are immersed in research all year round, and they have their own abilities. They have such a high status that they know how to handle some details in interpersonal interactions, but sometimes they ignore them unintentionally.

It is always mentioned in folklore that mages are a group of inhumane creatures who cannot even make the simplest contact with people. The higher the level of mages, the more so. Originally, after contacting the six speakers for a period of time, , the three of them felt that the mages were actually not as unbearable as the legend said.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the speakers to tell the three people with facts, you are wrong, we are so unbearable.

"Alas." Xiure and Judy looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It was not a serious problem, it was just embarrassing and helpless to be left aside. However, Moria was not embarrassed at all. After all, she was a forest elf, so she was different from normal people. , but she listened with great interest, and even chimed in a few words from time to time. Although she couldn't understand most of the academic terms, she could at least join in the fun and make noise.

"Everyone, everyone." The green-robed mage and Mia were the last two to come in. As soon as they stepped into the room and saw the scene in the room, the green-robed mage pressed his forehead with a headache.As expected, my colleagues are still the same as before. If no one reminds them, I am afraid it will take a long time for them to remember that this is not an exchange meeting of the core council but a negotiation between forces.But there was nothing he could do. The green-robed mage could only sigh deeply, raise his voice and said in a dumbfounded voice, "The exchange activities between the six towers can be put aside for the time being, especially Edson and Edson who have begun to argue about the application of the formula. Tesla, you two calm down first, don’t forget that there are more important things to do now.”

What's more important than academic exchange?Uh, it seems there is.

The Speakers finally remembered.

"Alas." The green-robed mage sighed again, put on an apologetic smile, and apologized to the three people who were left out, "It's really rude. I'm sorry. Please take your seats. By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Leon. Nado, from the Blue Tower."
