On the Seven Towers

Winter has completely passed. The tops of the sycamore trees on the roadside have grown new green leaves, and the weeping willows by the river have also raised their catkins, making the noble district of the royal capital feel a little bit like spring, which is in sharp contrast to the gray and brown on the other side of the river.

The day for the king to confer the magic tower has finally arrived. Since the king was injured by the life energy in the disgraceful incident in the New Year, his health seems to have deteriorated a lot. He has not appeared in public for a long time since that day. The day for the school to be conferred land has been delayed. The land that should have been obtained after the spring vacation has been delayed until nearly two months later.

However, the king's health seems to have improved in recent days. He has come out to handle official business for three or four consecutive days. The day for conferring the Black Mountain Wizard was also set three days ago.

Three carriages drove through the streets of the noble district in the bright sunshine and drove towards the palace.

Although the conferring of a new magic tower is a very important matter for the magic world and the kingdom. But for the common people of this era, even the small nobles and small merchants, they neither know nor care about such things. Everything in the city was running the same as usual.

"I thought there would be at least some colorful banners and slogans. There are only a few magic towers in the kingdom, and it should be a big deal to have one of us today." Xiao Chen said.

"Do we need a row of knights to clear the way in front of the carriage?" Luo Ling asked back.

"Why didn't you think of it earlier? We could force the king to make a big show in the market that day." Xiao Chen joked.

A gust of wind blew, and willow catkins flew into the car window. Xiao Chen took a look at the catkins. They were still outside the window, shaking in the breeze but unable to come in.

"Yesterday, I heard news about the Glacier Walker Celia from the north. It is said that she has been practicing in seclusion for the past year, and no one in the empire has seen her. It seems that there is no hope over there. But even if she is there, she may not be interested in what we have." Luo Ling said.

"Even if she is not interested in knowledge, at worst we still have the Holy Scriptures. For example, the value of the "Spirit Gathering Book" is not less than that of the Heart of Ice and Snow."

"Didn't you notice that many great magicians who knew about it avoided the Holy Scriptures? The king that day was the same. He had no interest in the "Spirit Gathering Book". These things look incredible, but to put it bluntly, they are hot potatoes. Once they are discovered by the Temple of Nature, no one will be able to explain." Luo Ling looked at the palace that was getting closer and closer outside the window and said, "These people are smart. They urged us to stand in front from a distance."

"If we don't do this, we won't have a chance." Xiao Chen smiled, "Otherwise, how can they support us to cut off a piece of land with an invisible magic tower?"

A moment later, the carriage, led by a knight, drove into the area where the palace was located. After passing a gate, there was a long ramp behind it, which went up the mountain all the way to the palace castle overlooking the sky.

The palace looked particularly majestic from a close distance, like a giant standing in the mountains, overlooking the entire city.

The people from the office got off the car at the gate of the castle, and then followed a few servants into one of the three holy places in the capital.

The outside of this castle is made of yellow boulders. The outer wall is seven or eight stories high. It is composed of a tower, a wall and a skirt building. There is a circle of battlements on the top, and there are towers in several corners. The towers are painted with runes. It is unknown whether they are used for attack or defense. When the wall extends to the end, it is directly connected to the rock behind the castle. There is a long bridge with four arches on a skirt building, connecting to the Royal Magic Tower not far away.

The main gate of the palace is four or five meters wide and eight or nine meters high. There are more than ten tall warriors standing around. Xiao Chen followed the servants into the doorway, and his mental power felt a sense of oppression. He whispered: "There is indeed a magic circle that suppresses mental power here."

"Well, I feel it too. The mental power is like being trapped in water, and the distance of action is much shorter." Luo Ling said.

"My spiritual magic here can only work within a distance of two or three meters." Xiao Chen said, "I heard that only by wearing special magic props can this inhibition be eliminated."

The exterior of the castle is tough and rough, but the interior is much more refined. Xiao Chen and others walked into the lobby and found that the ground was paved with red and white marble, the walls were painted with powder, and they were clean white. There were murals and statues decorated at intervals.

The king's meeting room was on the second floor of the main building of the castle. They walked through a front garden and went up the stairs of the corridor on one side, and directly arrived at the door of the meeting room.

The guard pushed open the door of the meeting room, and inside was a hall larger than three basketball courts combined. The light shone in from a row of narrow window panes and fell on the smooth floor, making the room very bright.

There were many people standing in small groups talking inside, letting the noisy sound come out.

"Mr. Xiao Chen, Mr. Luo Ling, Mr. Li Jia, Mr. Liu Pengfei, Mr. Xiao Mu, and other mages from the Tower of China have arrived." The duty officer in the meeting hall had already checked the list and reported the names of high-level and mid-level mages.

Xiao Chen and Luo Ling were already wearing the March badges of high-level mages. The two had many adventures and fierce battles before. As Master Kona said, they soon succeeded in breaking through the high level. This time, the two did not encounter the so-called bottleneck of cultivation. It can be said that it was a natural process.

Xiao Chen now gradually understood that the essence of cultivation is learning and training. When you have accumulated enough and have reached the strength, it is natural to move up a level. It's like an exam. The poor students are naturally afraid of the dangers and tremble, but the top students can easily cross it.

Li Jia, Liu Pengfei and Xiao Mu were given the double moon badge. Liu Pengfei had frequent contacts with Princess Laura for more than a month after the assessment, and had special encounters. He successfully advanced to the intermediate level before the canonization. After Ye Zi and the other two, two more people in the office also successfully concentrated their minds and became low-level mages. Two high-level, three intermediate-level and five beginner-level mages can hold up a lot of scenes even in the capital.

And the Tower of China is the final result of Xiao Chen and his team's naming of the school. Anyway, there is a Chinese Pavilion in the World Expo, so it is not strange to call it the Tower of China. It can express homesickness to its own people, but it is very mysterious to outsiders.

When Xiao Chen and his team walked into the hall, people who heard the name turned their heads and looked at the protagonist of today.

There are already nearly a hundred guests in the hall. Half of them are great nobles and administrative officials of the kingdom, a small half are magicians from the Royal Magic Tower and the Kingdom Magic Association, and some are priests from the Temple of Nature. The rest are envoys from other countries.

Xiao Chen glanced around and found that many people he was familiar with were already here.
