Paradise: Ready Player One

The girl said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Strange eyes glanced back and forth between Chen Ming and Betty.

It seems that before falling asleep, Polkenika still made an explanation, and introduced Chen Ming to the guardian.

It's just that some girls who are face-blind and not very good at thinking can't associate this matter with Chen Ming at the first time.

Later, after hearing Polkenika's name and noticing Betty beside Chen Ming, he remembered this matter.

"Is this guy a sage? Why does he look so silly?"

Elsa didn't mean to hide it at all, and expressed her inner doubts very bluntly.

Ryuzu and Meili also have the same problem.

These few people really have no way to connect the word sage with the girl in front of them.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shaula, and I am also the guardian of this tower. The sage you are talking about is not me, but my teacher Flugel."

The guardian girl named Shaula spoke eloquently.

From what she said, it can be known that the real name of the sage that the world thinks is not Shaula.

"So everyone, are you ready for the trial?"

Chapter 474 Passing the Third Floor

【accept】

Chen Ming gave a quick answer.

No matter how you think about it, there is no reason to refuse the side mission.

"Then let's get started"

Chen Ming couldn't wait any longer.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's have a good chat first, you don't know how boring I am staying in this tower, I don't even have anyone to talk to, I have lived like this for more than 400 years, if you want It's not what I promised my teacher..."

Shaula started chattering endlessly.

It can be seen that she has indeed not spoken to anyone for a long time.

But the current position is not suitable for conversation, and it is not a pleasant thing to be in the miasma.

The warm and hospitable Shaula showed amazing strength, directly carried the dragon cart, and led Chen Ming and his party up the stairs. Seeing her relaxed look, it seemed like she was carrying plastic foam.

Dilong behind him showed a look of shock.

Am I about to lose my job?

Looking up, the astonishingly large cylindrical space extends upwards, as if it has no end.

The way to reach the fourth floor is very primitive, that is, to walk up the spiral stairs along the inner wall of the tower.

The huge spiral staircase is thousands of meters long, and this is the only way to get upstairs.

At a height of several hundred meters, it would take a long time to climb with just one pair of legs.

With Chen Ming's physique, he wouldn't feel tired, but he would inevitably feel bored, so he let out a haha, let him flap his little wings and lead a group of people up.

The time was shortened by a few minutes.

"Wow, what a fat dragon"

Shaula wiped the wet corner of her mouth, and said this.

"..."

Chen Ming silently took Da Ha back to the different space.

The fourth floor of the Tower of the Sage is the living area.

There are many rooms.

Under Shaula's introduction, Chen Ming and his party learned the purpose of these rooms.

The most important of these is the "green room".

As the name suggests, it is a room full of green plants.

The reason why it is the most important is because there is an elf in the room who has the ability to "purify water" and "heal".

It was thanks to the existence of this elf that Shaula was able to live in the tower of the sage for such a long time.

However, the elf in the "green room" is a bit special. It is a variant of elves and has no self-awareness. It only instinctively heals the creatures that come in.

Having said that, the healing ability it possesses is completely comparable to that of Felix.

It's just that only four creatures can enter the "green room" at a time.

As for other rooms, they are generally used for accommodation and rest.

Before passing the sage's test, Chen Ming and his party probably had to live here for a while.

But what Shaula didn't disclose is that in the fourth floor area, there are also passages hidden by techniques that hinder cognition.

These passages lead to balconies on the fourth floor.

There are quite a few balconies on the fourth floor, the main purpose of which is like a sniper spot.

Shaula launched a sneak attack on Chen Ming from the balcony before.

And the fourth floor upwards is the place for trials. As long as one can reach the first floor and complete the final test, the task left by the sage will be considered passed.

As for why the sage left behind such a trial, it was probably to choose a successor.

Because among the three heroes who sealed the jealous witch, the protection of the Juggernaut can be passed on continuously, and there will be a Juggernaut in every era.

The dragon Bolkenika possesses a long life, only the sage is an "ordinary person".

His power, that is, the knowledge that belongs to the sage, is hidden in this tower of the sage.

Those who pass the test can inherit the tower of the sage, and can also inherit the knowledge of the sage and become a new sage.

This is the inheritance path that belongs to Flugel.

As long as this tower exists, new sages will eventually be born.

In this way, even if something happens to the seal of the Envious Witch one day, a new sage will appear, and together with the dragon and the sword master, the Envious Witch will be sealed back again.

As for the miasma and "sand time" in the Augulia dunes, they can be regarded as the initial test.

"The teacher's library is in the area of ​​the upper three floors. As long as you pass the trial, you can get the knowledge of the first floor."

Shaula is qualified as a guardian, but as a trial commentator, she is a bit far away.

"What is the content of the trial?"

"I don't know, I haven't been there before, the teacher just asked me to guard the tower of the sages, and didn't want me to pass the test"

Shaula said it as it should be.

For more than 400 years, this guy really could bear it and never went up once.

"What are the rules of the trial?"

Chen Ming continued to ask.

"If you don't ask me, I really forgot to tell you"

Shaula patted her forehead, her naive expression made it hard for people to be really angry with her.

After all, to care about an idiot is to bring yourself down to the same level as the idiot.

"There are only five rules for trials"

"One, it is forbidden to leave before the end of the test. Two, it is forbidden to violate the rules of the test. Three, it is forbidden to disrespect the library. Four, it is forbidden to destroy the tower itself. Fifth, it is not forbidden to destroy the test"

Shaula firmly remembered every word Flügel said, and even after such a long time, she did not forget a single word, and finally reminded her.

"If you violate the rules, I, the guardian, will turn into an examiner and punish you."

"hehe"

Chen Ming responded perfunctorily.

It's not that he despises the Guardian.

If it was outside the tower of the sage, maybe the other party could use the long-range advantage to deal with him for a while, but now that he has entered the tower, it will not be too easy to clean up this one.

"What do you mean by huh? It sounds so irritating."

Shaula flicked her long ponytail and asked angrily.

Chen Ming ignored it and walked aside. Shaula originally had an expression of not letting go, but she was quickly attracted by Liuzi and Meili.

These three guys with the same mental age can play together easily.

"Master, what are you going to do next?"

Elsa came over and asked.

"Forget it, it's getting late now, rest for one night, and talk about it tomorrow"

Chen Ming thought about it and gave up the plan to test it immediately.

Anyway, the tower of the sage can't run here, not bad for this night.

Chen Ming flipped through the Gospel book in his hand, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"If there's anything to see, let Betty take a look."

Betty pressed Chen Ming's hand down, wanting to see what interesting content was revealed in the Gospel, but she still couldn't understand it as usual.
