Templar Sun King

Chapter 176 Silver Tower (1)

After the demise of the West Cyther Empire, dozens of kingdoms and principalities were born on her vast territory. After a long war, the three successor states were gradually established. Sauk, Sipes, and now Romano replaced Frans in the name of successor state.On the borders of the three countries are scattered small duchies, the big ones are almost half the size of the Seven Cities Federation, and the small ones basically only have one big city.

These duchies that survived in the cracks between the three major kingdoms are buffer zones at best, and small forces that can be dealt with at any time, and have been infiltrated in all directions.Among these principalities, perhaps the Principality of Dieter is the most detached, thanks to the Silver Tower, one of the three major magical organizations, is located in this principality at the junction of Frans and Sauk, with Babel and the sky. The silver tower with the same name as the garden.

Every citizen of the Principality of Dieter will point to the 22-storey silver tower like a giant pillar and proudly say to outsiders: "That is the Silver Tower, the guardian of the Principality of Dieter. Yes, of course there is a magic circle, which is difficult to see at ordinary times. But at night, you can see some silver light emanating from the tower, which is as beautiful as another moon. The most important thing is that in this There are four golden archmages in the silver tower!"

Then they will change their tone and continue to introduce enthusiastically mysteriously: "You may not know that there is a mysterious tower owner above the four golden archmages, but no one has seen it since the establishment of the Silver Tower in the Principality of Dieter." I’ve been there, I don’t know if it’s a man or a woman, and I don’t know how many generations it has been passed down.” The elderly people of Dieter said so while pretending to be very regretful, but the expressions on their faces betrayed the deepest feelings in their hearts. Proud and proud.

White mages from all over the world yearn to join the Silver Tower, excellent partners, precious books, and even the guidance of the golden archmage. It can be said that the most outstanding white mages in the whole world conduct magic research and exchanges here.Each one is enough to make those young people who have just embarked on the path of the White Mage come to the Kingdom of Dieter at any cost.

Jason is such a young man who was attracted by the Silver Tower. He came from the Kingdom of Keqi and aspired to become a great white mage since he was a child.Born in the Kingdom of Kochi, a country in Yupler but ruled by the Yashas, ​​he grew up listening to the stories of Colin and Morgan, two of the greatest mages of Yuppler and Yasha, whether with the conquerors Jason was deeply fascinated by overthrowing the rule of the Elven Empire and establishing the Sither Empire or establishing the first mage kingdom in history.When he grew up and found that he really had the talent of a mage, he was very happy, although in the eyes of others, the talent of the white mage was not the most outstanding-the brave Yasha people generally believe that elemental magic and black magic are talents. It is excellent magic. As for white magic, this kind of magic that can only defend and heal is only suitable for logistics.

When he was a little older, Jason knew about the Silver Tower, about Babel, and about the Hanging Garden.Among the three mage organizations, the silver tower is the place he admires the most. He has dreamed more than once in his dreams that he is wearing a brand new mage robe, and enters the silver tower through the magic circle under the admiring eyes of everyone.

Now, at the age of 21 and three months before his next birthday, he finally did it, stepping into the silver tower he had seen countless times in his dreams, in a strange way.

In front of Jason were two silver middle-aged mages with tense expressions, and behind him were even more mages, a total of six, and two of them were also of the silver rank.

"I hope you have listened to what I just said. You probably still have..." One of the mages in front of Jason led the way and kindly reminded this pitiful little mage, "Ten minutes to sort out your thoughts, I hope I won’t be too nervous when I meet some adults.” He is the only mage around Jason who has reached the silver level, and because of his appearance, he looks very difficult to get along with, so he has to Careful control of the muscles in the face ensures that the little mage is not frightened.

Jason was already terrified.

Gods, this is the first time he has seen so many silver mages at the same time when he grows up, two in front and two behind.Even finally entering the interior of the Silver Tower didn't make him look any better.

"I'll try...I mean, I will, sir." Jason tried to put on a smile, but it was worse than crying.When the nine of them were walking in a hurry, they kept casting curious eyes from both sides, but they hurriedly turned their eyes to other places when they saw a pattern of three crossed wands on the magic robes of the two leading middle-aged mages. go.

This pattern symbolizes the personnel with inspection power inside the Silver Tower, and any mage who violates the regulations of the Silver Tower will fall into their hands.But the current situation is a bit strange. Generally speaking, those mages who make mistakes will be taken to the dungeon by them, and they will never go up. When they were thinking, Jason had already gone up an elevator led by eight mages. You can freely go up and down between the first and No.15 floors inside the Silver Tower.

the third floor……

seventh floor...

No.12 layer...

Jason felt sticky all over his body, probably because he was too nervous and scared to break out in a cold sweat.

Ding!
The elevator stopped at the No.15 floor of the Silver Tower.

According to the queue when he came in, Jason walked to a higher place step by step under the leadership of the four mages.The other four mages whose strength has not reached the silver level had to stop here. In fact, if it weren't for Jason, they would not have the right to enter the No. 11 layer or above.

As a fan who has been studying the Silver Tower for a long time, Jason knows that the Silver Tower has a total of 22 floors, of which floors 21 to 22 correspond to black iron steps, floors [-] to [-] correspond to bronze, and floors [-] to [-] correspond to silver. The sixteenth to twenty floors correspond to the gold ranks.As for the remaining [-]st and [-]nd floors, Jason still doesn't understand it yet.

His whole body was trembling as he stepped up the stairs, and in a few minutes he would be standing on the No.16 floor of the Silver Tower or even higher, a place where some members of the Silver Tower would never be able to set foot in their entire lives.

Floor No. 16 soon appeared in front of Jason, but the two mages walking in front of him continued to go up.

No.17 layer past.

No.18 layer past.

Finally, they stopped on the No.19 floor.

When Jason came to the No.19 floor under the guard of four silver mages, eyes from all directions were cast on him.The mages standing here with the lowest strength are all at the beginning level of silver, the best of the first level.

"Come, come, the mage is here."

"The meeting will begin immediately."

"Notify the adults quickly."

The entire No.19 floor was quiet for a second or two, and then there was a buzzing sound, like the flies that Jason saw around a pile of garbage in the slums when he was a child.

"Jason, is that so?" A tall old mage separated from the crowd and walked not far away. His sharp eyes made Jason feel his face sting.

"Yes, sir." He replied cautiously.

"I need to make a final confirmation. Did you witness the battle two days ago?"

"Yes, sir."

"I assume you can tell the full story of what happened?"

"Yes, sir."

Jason answered the old man's question numbly.

"Very well, then please wait here quietly, the meeting will start immediately." After confirming seven or eight questions in a row, the old man left quickly.The silver mages on the entire No.19 floor also quickly dispersed, and the surrounding was eerily quiet, except for the sound of his own heartbeat—Jason thought they should all go to the meeting room first.

"Come with me, it's time for us to get ready." The middle-aged mage led Jason through the No.19 floor for about 3 minutes and entered a passage.

He pointed to the door in front: "You will go in here later, and you don't have to worry about other things. The only thing you have to do today is to answer the adults' questions."

"I know, sir." Jason prayed secretly, no matter which god it is, if you hear my prayer, please bless me to get out of the Silver Tower alive today, and I will never step into the Silver Tower again.

"Let Jason in." A serious voice came from the other side of the door.

Even through the door, Jason could feel a series of real eyes staring at the door, or him a few seconds later.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the surrounding air was a little hot. He took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and stretched his left leg in.

Jason didn't know how he got to this seat, although as the only black iron mage here, he probably didn't even have the qualifications to sit down.He didn't know where the courage came from, and he took a quick look at the moment he stepped into the hall: the wide and white conference hall was shrouded in a serious and depressing atmosphere, and the silver mages who cast their eyes on him surrounded nearly 300 people in the hall. Multiple positions filled.

On the main seat above there are three extremely powerful mages, two men and one woman.They were like three lighthouses in an ocean of light, and it was hard for Jason to ignore them.

There is no doubt that they are the adults that the mage who led him up just now said, the three existing golden mages in the Silver Tower!
Yes, the three existing Golden Archmages!
Starting today, to be more precise, since two days ago, there were only three golden archmages in the Silver Tower, and one was killed two days ago.

If it wasn't for the coincidence that he witnessed the battle where the Golden Master of the Silver Tower was killed, Jason would not be brought here now to be questioned by the entire Silver Tower.

He still remembers the golden archmage who was killed, Lang, an elementary golden archmage!
That's why he's here today.
