Chapter 155 Eyes
As the fog cleared, the outline of a building gradually emerged before everyone's eyes.

It was a tall tower that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with a total of five floors. The tower was built with blue stones. It looked very simple from the outside, without any fancy features. There were azure magic circles all around it to resist the invasion of poisonous fog.

【Saisi's Mage Tower】

A string of names appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Mage Tower..."

"In this Mage Tower, you can get a special weapon for the monk profession. It is a pair of gloves. While enhancing various attributes, bare-handed attacks will also inflict four types of special damage, namely fire damage, thunder damage, dark damage, and light damage. It is the graduation outfit for the monk profession in the game."

Orc Will flipped through the guide and said, “In addition, you can also get a set of perfect quality light armor that can enhance agility attributes, and three bottles of magic potions that can permanently enhance strength attributes.

But there are many high-level puppets guarding the Mage Tower, which makes it very difficult. "

"Why would there be a monk's graduation outfit in a mage tower?" Jiang Wuming discovered the blind spot.

"Maybe it's the wizard tower owner's collection of spoils." Will shrugged.

"What level are those puppets?" Zhou Yuan asked, coveting the goodies inside.

The game guide shows that there are only a few props inside, but you have to know that this place is not a game, but a real plane!
How could a magician who owns a magician tower only have these things in his treasury!

Even if this magician is really a poor guy, he must have some books like magic books, right?

In a sense, these books that come from another world and another power system are actually real wealth.

Will flipped through the guide and said, "The levels of the puppets range from 61 to 69, but there are too many of them. Moreover, their entire bodies are made of arcane adamantium, making them immune to all physical damage except blunt force, and they also have a certain resistance to magical damage."

Arcane adamantium is a special metal unique to this game plane. It is extremely hard and has good conductivity for magic, so it is often used in the production of magic tools.

A puppet is a type of magical tool. To put it simply, it is a large robot powered by magic energy.

If we break it down further, it can be divided into many types, such as mining puppets, combat puppets, housekeeping puppets, sex puppets...

Zhou Yuan calculated his overall strength and said, "It's not a big problem. We can do it."

"It's possible, but this barrier is a bit troublesome."

Huo Yanluo was standing in front of the azure blue barrier, folding her arms and touching her chin as she studied it.

“This forbidden barrier is equivalent to the anti-theft door of the wizard’s tower. If you want to get in, you need a key, and the key is the sum of the fluctuations of the wizard’s soul, spirituality, spells, and life breath.

If a stranger barges in rashly or tries to break in by force, he will be attacked by the forbidden system.

Bailang, can you untie it?"

Bai Lang is the only magician in the team, but he shook his head: "I have the brute force to break it open, but I can't do the delicate work of dismantling the ban."

"Wait a moment."

Will discovered a key problem at this time, "The strategy guide didn't mention that this wizard tower has forbidden magic..."

[Don't always pay attention to what's in front of you. Be careful. The thing that has been following you all the way is ready to attack. ]

The tip from the Eye of Identification startled Zhou Yuan. Are they being followed?

"Scatter!" He retreated to the side without thinking.

The other teammates were stunned for just a moment, then quickly scattered.

At that moment, a terrifying howl came from the fog, the sound was like a huge wave, and suddenly, a pale breath of light tore through the fog and swept over, turning into a torrent of death, slamming into the forbidden barrier of the Mage Tower.

The forbidden barrier fluctuated violently.

The breath lasted for several seconds before it dissipated. Suddenly, a large amount of rotten, deformed flesh and organs grew out of nowhere on the ground, spreading, multiplying, and growing in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short while, it grew into a forest of deformed rotten flesh!
The high concentration of disaster and distortion pollution seemed to have triggered the Mage Tower's automatic defense mechanism. A turret on the Mage Tower slowly rose up, firing azure magic shells to wipe out the polluted land.

After an explosion, the forest of rotten flesh disappeared.

The group of people who had dispersed were all sweating coldly. This pale breath contained the horrifying power of decay and distortion, which was enough to pollute and corrupt an entire city in the outside world!

Even if they were hit once, their lives would be in danger.

The thick poisonous fog was temporarily torn apart by this strange breath. They looked towards the source. A kilometer away, the huge and hideous shadow cast a vicious scarlet gaze.

After just a brief glance, the mental protection barrier that had been cast on everyone before began to shatter.

The wings were not covered with flesh and blood, leaving only bare skeletons, deathly pale, and the sharp bones were like the scythe of the god of death, full of dangerous edge.

The rotting body was covered with sores and foul-smelling juices flowed down. Thousands of scarlet eyeballs were densely packed all over the body, blinking like thousands of stars in the sky watching everything, flashing a strange and charming light.

On that twisted and rotten dragon face, there were thirty-six completely different eyeballs.

[LV78 Corrupted Dragon]

What the hell… everyone cursed in their hearts.

The Corrupted Dragon is the next target they are going to attack. It was originally just a LV69 BOSS, but now no one knows what happened. This guy has undergone a super-strong evolution as if he had eaten golden cleavers, and his level has soared directly to LV78!

Unexpectedly, the identities of both parties were reversed and they turned from hunters to prey.

What was even more unexpected was that the Corrupted Dragon had been following them secretly!

The eyes on the unknown deformed body were taken away by the Corruption Dragon... Zhou Yuan turned his eyes away and finally understood where those eyeballs had gone.

"come on in."

Just as everyone was preparing to retreat, a rough voice came from the mage tower behind them.

A small door opened in the azure forbidden barrier, and a countdown sounded at the same time: "Five, four..."

Everyone exchanged glances briefly, then rushed towards the small door without saying a word and ran into the barrier.

boom!
The strange breath containing the power of decay and corruption came again, engulfing everyone's sight like a tsunami, but the azure forbidden barrier remained motionless.

"What a strong restriction." Bai Lang exclaimed. As a magician, he could feel the power of this magic even more.

Whoosh whoosh!
The turret on top of the wizard tower turned its guns and fired magic shells at the corrupt dragon.

The rotten dragon raised its head in pain and let out a crazy roar.

There was no flesh on its wings, so it was destined to be unable to fly, so it took heavy steps, trampled the ground, and rushed towards the Mage Tower! Bang!
In the sky, a giant pillar of thunder formed by infinite lightning fell, tearing through the thick fog and piercing through the rotten and smelly body. The tyrannical light occupied everyone's pupils for a moment, blinding and burning.

When the light faded, most of the Corrupted Dragon's body was shattered by thunder, and foul-smelling blood flowed like a waterfall. It howled in pain like a defeated wild dog, and quickly fled with its tail between its legs.

"Forbidden curse..."

Bai Lang was extremely shocked. The thunder just now was definitely the end and peak of magic - forbidden magic!
In the real world, one must be at least at the peak of level 8 to perform it.

No wonder a forbidden barrier suddenly appeared in the Mage Tower, because the owner of the Mage Tower was inside! And he was a forbidden spell mage!
At this time, the door of the Mage Tower opened automatically.

Bai Lang reminded quietly: "Be sure to be polite. A magician at the forbidden spell level would kill us like it's playing."

Everyone's heart was in their throat. Even in the outside world, the Forbidden Spell Master was definitely one of the most powerful extraordinary people in the world.

A group of people entered the Mage Tower. The first floor was a hall, which was covered with soft carpets and equipped with all kinds of items. There were also many human-shaped puppets cleaning. The puppets did not react to the arrival of the people.

"Come up to the fifth floor." A voice came from the top of the building.

There was an elevator in the corner of the room, and everyone took it to go upstairs.

Fifth floor.

The workbench was in a mess, with a large number of magic books scattered on the floor and the table.

A bearded dwarf who was drinking at a table glanced at the people coming out of the elevator and said drunkenly, "Sit wherever you want."

[Look at his arms, look at his biceps, guess why there are monk equipment here?

Before he was sixty years old, Ceci was a monk. After accidentally coming into contact with magical knowledge, he unexpectedly discovered that he was quite talented in this area. So he spent ten years learning magic and became one of only a dozen forbidden spell wizards in the world.

A reckless man with brains is simply terrifying, brother. 】

What kind of talent is this... Zhou Yuan was shocked. He changed his career halfway and became a forbidden spell mage in just ten years?
"Thank you for saving my life, senior." Bai Lang clasped his fists to express his gratitude, and the others hurried to follow.

"Why... are you in this damn place?" Saisi asked while drinking.

"The princess of the kingdom has been kidnapped by the devil. We are on our way to rescue the princess and we are passing through here." Zhou Yuan explained.

“Demon King…” Saisi paused and sighed, “You guys can’t even defeat that dragon with your strength, and you still want to defeat the Demon King? Go back to where you came from, don’t die in vain.”

"Senior, what you said is too absolute. A few days ago, we couldn't even beat the slime, but now we have fought our way here. If we can practice for a few more days, it will be easy for us to capture the corrupt dragon."

Zhou Yuan lied casually and then asked, "Why do you still want to stay here, Senior?"

"This is my home. Where else can I stay if not here?"

"I mean, Senior, you are a forbidden spell mage..."

Zhou Yuan's expression became serious, and he said righteously, "As the saying goes, every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Senior, you have such a strong power, are you willing to stay here? Don't you want to save the world and be admired by everyone?"

He wanted to use his charm to persuade Saixi to come out and help.

Saisi seemed to be affected by the charm value, and her eyes became deep: "The rise and fall of the world..."

He then spat and said impatiently: "I don't care about the rise and fall of the world. I just want to drink."

As expected of a dwarf, he has a bad temper... Zhou Yuan had no choice but to ask, "What about the fallen magic academy? Senior, you should also be a member of the magic academy, right?"

boom!
Saisi slammed the bottle onto the table, her eyes blazing with anger: "Damn it, I get angry when I think of those idiots. I just wanted to learn the resurrection technique to revive my brother, but they actually accused me of stealing forbidden techniques. What the hell!

There weren't so many rules when they resurrected those royal members!

My brother died because of them, but they didn't feel any remorse at all. It was written on their faces that they were ostracizing others! After that, several old forbidden spell masters teamed up to expel me from the magic academy. I haven't settled the score with them yet!
Save them? Dream on! "

Uh... brother? Dwarf?

Zhou Yuan paused, as if he had thought of something. Could it be such a coincidence?

"May I ask, Senior Brother, is this Master Forger Kentro?"

"Ok?"

Ceci looked over in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"To be honest, I have a relic of Master Kentro."

Zhou Yuan said as he took out the anti-magic dummy.

Cece's eyes widened as she looked at the familiar writing on the base.

"It's his work. Where did you get it?"

"I bought it at the trading market." Zhou Yuan answered truthfully.

Saisi was silent for a while, staring at the anti-magic dummy and said, "Many years ago, the magic academy had a cheaper supplier, so they devalued his creations and asked him to cancel the contract. He was so angry that he went to the magicians to argue, and was eventually kicked out of the magic academy.

After that, he concentrated on seclusion and created an automatic anti-magic device, intending to go to the Magic Academy to get revenge, but he disappeared after he set out, and I didn't even find his body."

Saisi sighed, "Can you give me this? I can exchange it for something else."

"Senior, we are preparing to enter the magic academy, so this prop is very important." Zhou Yuan looked embarrassed.

"Is that so? Forget it then." Saisi shook her head and continued drinking.

Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded. No, this is the relic of your dead brother. Can't you bargain a little more? If you give me more benefits, maybe I will agree!
Dwarves are indeed straightforward.

He held it in for a long time, but didn't know how to continue speaking, so he had to change the subject.

"Senior, what's the situation with that corrupt dragon? It seems to be much stronger than the rumors said."

"Normal. The Demon King has corrupted this land. The more eyes a polluted monster has, the stronger it is."

"Why is this?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

"Eyes are the windows to the soul and a symbol of spiritual power. That's why those crazy guys are so crazy about stealing other people's eyeballs and putting them on themselves. They think that this will allow them to gain more knowledge and become more powerful. This is indeed the case."

Saisi laughed mockingly, "All those idiots in the magic academy have now turned into multi-eyed monsters, fighting over eyeballs every day."
