Chapter 183 Chapter 183 Climbing up and down
"Understand? Then try it. "Professor Dongdong said: "until now you are very confident, then I will give you a code to see if you are confident enough: you only have one chance, if you are wrong, you will be eliminated. Do you think it is unfair?" ?"

"The people who were eliminated before have only failed once. Compared with them, it's actually quite fair." Dagon walked to the entrance of the cave, put his hand on the bark screen, and said, "Actually this is The key, right?"

Professor Dongdong didn't pay attention to this question, probably because he didn't want to give Dagon any hints. He was still talking about the fairness topic before: "Dagon, you avoided another trap. If you say it's unfair, then you will be eliminated. Want to know the reason?"

"Yes." As Dagon spoke, he raised the screen and turned his head up and down. At this moment, the direction of gravity of the entire room also reversed, and the ground under your feet quickly began to flip, first vertically turning into a wall, and then turning into a ceiling.

Dagon slams into the hole, hangs his arms over the edge, and uses his puppet mount. The natural environment here is too lack of Earth Element, and the puppet mount from summon is not as big as a dog. Originally, Dagon wanted to use a bear lizard-sized mount to hang himself from the ceiling, but now this move was useless, but at the most critical moment, he still grabbed him and didn't let him fall.

Third pull-ups of the day, Dagon climbed through the hole again. He came to the Third Layer of the tree house, where Professor Dongdong was sitting in a chair, applauding slowly but clearly.

"Congratulations, Dagon. My reverse Illusion Technique is good, right?"

Dagon heartily nodded, admitting that he was indeed an eye-opener. The whole second layer room is an illusion, the change should happen when the leopards come to bite and they turn into soap bubbles and disappear. The Illusion Technique exhibited by the professor first blinded Dagon's senses, making him think he was still stuck in the same place. At the same time, a spell that changed the direction of gravity made Dagon unconsciously stand on the ceiling.

The entrance to the Third Layer presents a picture of the First Layer room, making it look like a passage back to the first floor. The infinitely extending illusion draws the attention of the students, making them sigh at the sheer scale of the spell while ignoring the details around them. In fact, it is not called ignoring, but it has been observed and checked, and it is natural to think that it will remain the same forever. Dagon at first was also fooled. He thought that the Illusion Technique was in the distance, covering up the existing walls and ceilings, and at the same time covering up the openings that should be on the top of the head. But the entrance and exit were at his feet.

Professor Dongdong looked at Dagon from head to toe, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "You can't enter the Third Layer simply by going out of the hole. Have you figured this out?"

"I didn't want to be so specific, I just thought that the previous scene was very simple, only the floor, the opening and the screen, and the others were the endless horizon. I was thinking about the use of the screen, it is just to give climbers a coherence Does it not make us alert in advance when we are in the first layer?"

"Your judgment is..."

"I think it should be useful." Dagon said : "The requirement of the previous exam was to find the correct entrance and then come to find you. Then finding the entrance and coming over should be two steps. The entrance is open, and walking past seems to be with no difficulty, but then there is one step missing. If you are the enemy, then I'm going to be suspicious; but you're a professor, and this is an assessment, so I should think, as before, that the question itself is the clue."

"The Illusion Technique also needs clues, otherwise it can't be deceived." Professor Dongdong nodded and motioned Dagon to sit on the chair opposite him. "You completed two major tests very well, you can come to my class in the new school year."

Dagon frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm not sure what you mean, Because I feel like I'm still in a hallucination. Somehow, I feel like I'm not facing the professor, you're not sitting in the chair, and the chair in front of you seems fake."

"Okay, you completely passed the exam, you did everything right."

Professor Dongdong's voice sounded on the right side of Dagon, accompanied by clear and loud applause. At this time, the illusion faded, one of the two chairs in the middle of the room and the professor on the other chair disappeared, and the room revealed its true colors.

The Third Layer of the tree house is a classroom, but not the kind of classroom that is normally furnished, more like an office. A desk full of manuscripts and documents is located in front of the window, and the dappled sunlight penetrating the tree canopy dances lightly on the table. Professor Dongdong is sitting at the table so that he can be taller than the standing Dagon and more convenient to write on the blackboard next to the desk.

There are four chairs on the opposite side of the table, and each side arm has a wooden board that can be rotated, which can be turned into a writing table at any time.

These are obviously the seats for the students, and now only four are in the center of the room, and eight others are stacked in the corners of the room. It can be seen from their placement that Professor Dongdong is very close to other students in class, and everyone is almost together, which makes it easier to communicate. The rest of the Academy's classes—whether Dagon had seen it or heard it—had students sitting in neat rows, with teachers standing across from them on a higher podium.

The height of the elves may be more suitable for standing farther away to face all the students, but Professor Dongdong had to choose to be closer to everyone. He is a dwarf, and it is conceivable that his height cannot be compared with that of an elves. At about 1.3 meters tall, he looks like a child, but every male dwarf grows a beard, and they are willing to keep and take care of it. The most common and popular beard style is the splayed moustache and sharp horn beard.

Professor Dongdong also adopts this classic beard style, and from his neat and orderly beard, it can be seen that he is a meticulous and self-disciplined person. Many folks say that the dwarf race is the result of Jiangu clansman and halflings, or Jiangu clansman and human intermarriage. Anyway, Jiangu clansman will always be involved, which is completely nonsense. The proper name for gnomes is ground gnomes, and the "gnome" here is not their small size, but the delicate and small houses they live in.

Gnomes were the first to build houses. At that time, elves lived in nests, Jiangu people lived in caves, humans were still in nests, and halflings occupied the sky. The gnomes are proud of their own houses, and at the same time they modestly think that their buildings are too small compared to the vast world, so they call houses in their own language gnomes, which is the place where little people sleep peacefully.

Later passed on and became a dwarf, and the name of the house replaced the name of the race.

“I only teach smart people,” Professor Dongdong right hand shoves up his long, slender beard, straightening it, springing it back, or wrapping it around the tips of his fingers. "Dagon, you're much smarter than I expected. I at first think that judging from Marne's description of your skills, it should be no problem to climb to the second layer, but it will stop there."

"Your Illusion Technique is indeed very sophisticated. I am now a firm believer that only a combination of spell and martial skill can cope with a variety of environments."

"Well, that's the truth. If the elite There is something about the Academy that has done so well that I have always believed that it is correct to stay here, and that is their basic quality assessment." Professor Dongdong stretched out his hand and motioned for Dagon to sit down, and this time Dagon did not doubt that he was there. Sit directly closest to the professor.

"This is someone else's chair. You come at the latest and you have to sit at the back. But there is no one else, so you don't need to change it." Dongdong let go of his beard, waved his finger, and the blackboard appeared Word. This is still the Illusion Technique, and he uses it with ease. It seemed that he could teach completely paperless if he wanted to, without leaving the room full of chalk dust.

"The basic quality assessment is the foundation. The elf sages attach great importance to this assessment and put a lot of effort into it. I read your admission assessment in the Academic Affairs Office, and the mental resistance actually reaches 9, which is too rare. I asked you to come, in addition to thinking that you are smart and a teachable talent, I also want to see if your mental resistance is useful when facing the Illusion Technique."

Dagon scratched his head, then Shaking his head, he said, "It seems useless."

"Haha, then you are wrong!" Professor Dongdong said, "Do you think that you can solve the problem because of patient, careful and calm thinking? Let me tell you, if you don't have such a high mental resistance, you can't think like that at all. During the test just now, there were two candidates who applied incantation to protect the Illusion Technique and thinking ability in advance, so You can read the anagrams on the calendar. And you, with no spell, did the same thing directly with your innate mental resistance, and better!"

"You have great potential. , you can release them by studying spell well. Illusion Technique...I won't talk about so many esoteric things today, I will tell you my experience: when your Illusion Technique is very delicate, you will face a problem: How to resist my Illusion Technique. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm in my Illusion Technique or in reality, it's like a very real dream, it looks like everything is ok, but it's very, very dangerous - whether it is To the mind or to the body."

Dagon nods, although he doesn't understand it, he can remember it.

"It's your advantage to have a flexible mind, have new ideas, and then have good mental resistance. In the original plan, as long as you can figure out the calendar puzzle and climb up, then I will be there After you complete the basic quality assessment, I will leave you a student position. But you are beyond my expectations and solved all the problems very well. I will definitely reward you, that is, accepting you directly as a student."

"Thanks teacher then. I can finally find someone to ask questions about spell."

"en? Don't you have a good relationship with Shiloh? Although she failed to become my student, But she's already a very good mage, you can ask her!"

"Are we on good terms?" Dagon tugged at his beard.

"It should be good to be able to complete the task together... I just heard what people said, and I don't know the specific situation. It may be a rumor, we don't care about it. Anyway, you are my discipline now, come and ask Me too."

"Teacher, Shiloh wants to be your student too, but failed the exam?" Dagon got interested and asked, "What's going on?"
