On the Seven Towers

"I won't argue with you. Because this is also a useless emotion." Tarling's voice was always unhurried.

Xiao Chen suddenly felt that the voice was a little annoying, and even a little bit needy. He said, "Have you realized that humans are emotional animals?"

"Of course. I know this very well, especially after I have gained higher rationality, and I often sigh at this point. If humans can reduce these useless emotions and become more efficient, maybe the results of the God-killing War will be better." That’s not the case anymore,” Tarling said.

"Maybe you should think differently."

"What?"

"It makes me happy, I'm super productive then."

"Well, okay. I think you will be happy to see what's inside the Spirit Tower."

Inside the gate of the White Tower, it is not pure white as Xiao Chen imagined, but a very futuristic silvery gray. The entrance is a hall, with a reception desk near the front. There are scattered tables and chairs around the hall, and in the middle of the room there is a circular pipe standing in the middle of the house, with a door below it, which looks like An elevator. Xiao Chen didn't feel like he had entered a magic tower, but rather the building of a high-tech company.

"The design of the Tower of Spirits was decided by me, and it naturally has the style of the earth. I preferred this futuristic industrial style design at that time. Of course, it doesn't matter whether I like it now. But it is indeed a kind of simplicity. And efficient style," Tarling said.

"If it weren't for your cold and flat tone, you don't speak like an artificial intelligence. I think Adriana's judgment is still wrong." Xiao Chen said.

"Perhaps it's because she always misses Grandpa Zeng who held her in his arms and laughed." Tarling said still coldly.

"Tell me, what can we find in this tower?" Xiao Chen said.

A light curtain appeared in front of Xiao Chen, and a floor plan of the black and white twin towers appeared on it. He discovered that the Black Tower and the White Tower each had one hundred floors. The floors below are mainly public buildings, such as crystal energy factories, conference rooms, libraries, guard barracks, training grounds, teleportation rooms, magic plant plantations, monster training grounds, ordinary warehouses, ordinary laboratories, soul storage rooms, etc. facilities, and in the middle is the area where mages live. In addition to housing, there are also restaurants, shops, theaters, bathrooms and other entertainment facilities. Starting on the 80th floor is a special laboratory, where high-level mages and above work on projects. , and there is a sky bridge on the 90th floor connecting the two towers. Above the overpass is the area where the saints live and live, as well as the corresponding holy libraries, private laboratories, treasure houses and other facilities. The top floors are the control center where the tower spirits are located, shield generators, Arms control room and other rooms.

The black and white twin towers are a symmetrical replica, except that the library and laboratory in the middle of the white tower are mainly used to study the art of death, while the same facilities in the middle of the black tower are used to study the art of death.

Just look at the names of the special laboratories in the White Tower and Black Tower. The White Tower is the "Limb Regeneration Laboratory", the "Soul Repair Laboratory", and the "Resurrection Plan Laboratory.", while the Black Tower is There are names such as "Dead Soul Assembling Project", "Plague Research Institute", and "Soul Stripping Laboratory".

"Two completely opposite forces are actually combined like this." Luo Ling said.

"You are right. The Tower of Spirits was originally composed of two magic towers merged together. One of them is the Tower of Living Beings, and the other is the Tower of the Dead. The Tower of Living Beings inherits the law of life, including various treatments. , recovery, regeneration, and even resurrection spells. The Tower of the Dead studies spells that control souls, create undead, and deprive lives. However, the research objects of the two magic towers involve souls. This is what they have in common. The bridge between the towers is called the Bridge of Soul Trial, which means that it is the human soul that connects life and death. Its function is to use positive energy to strengthen and experience the souls of both living and dead people. Once there, you can become more stable and powerful.

When I first traveled through time in the early years, I had the opportunity to learn spells at the Tower of Life and the Tower of the Dead. I found that learning the magic of life and death at the same time will benefit both types of magic at the same time. So I spent more than fifty years combining these two originally opposing magic towers into a spiritual tower. Later, every mage in the Spirit Tower was required to learn the art of life and the art of death at the same time, and they would take turns practicing in the White Tower and the Black Tower. After reaching the intermediate level, most people will focus on one direction for study. "

"I can see that you are very proud of your past." Although Ta Ling's tone was still calm, Xiao Chen could still hear a sense of pride.

"I'm just stating history." Tower Spirit said, "Basically all the crystals, sacred weapons and powerful ghosts in the Tower of Spirits have been taken by mages to participate in the God-killing War. What may be most helpful to you is Three things. The first is the tens of thousands of magic books left in the two libraries, the second is the experimental logs left in various laboratories, and the last is the inheritance room in the treasure room. There are several inheritances of holy magic left behind.”

Xiao Chen and others were guided by the tower spirit to the magic elevator in the middle of the Spirit Tower. They didn't have time to check every floor, so they planned to pick a few typical floors to visit. Everything in the Tower of Spirits seemed in order, and it seemed that the mages were fully prepared before evacuating.

It's just that everything seems a little bleak.

"This is due to insufficient energy."

The first place the Tower Spirit took them to was the Magic Crystal Warehouse. Xiao Chen saw rows of shelves in the warehouse, with countless small grids on them like a honeycomb, but the rows of grids in the front were empty. Only after walking through four-fifths of the shelves did the grids begin to be filled with crystals.

"Less than one-fifth of the reserves in the Magic Crystal Warehouse are left." The Tower Spirit said: "Even if it shrinks into a crystal, to maintain my existence and the basic operation of the internal components of the Spirit Tower, magic crystals must still be consumed. After thousands of years, there is not much inventory. So now the Spirit Tower is operating at the lowest energy consumption."

"In other words, if we want to operate the functions of the Spirit Tower, we must replenish a large number of crystals?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Yes, especially for weaponized operation, the crystal reserves need to be increased to the limit. When the power of the Spirit Tower is fully opened, the energy consumption is thousands of times that of normal operation."
