Dawn of the Grey Tower

Now that he has obtained the right to use the property in the hands of the witch, cheese and Roland naturally no longer need to live in the hotel. When the old man went to the horse-drawn carriage, the cheese had come to this property near Wangdu Port District alone. Wangdu itself is not adjacent to the sea. This so-called port area is actually just a symbolic name. But despite all this, there is still a river running through the southeast corner of Wangdu. This river is a diversion of Longxuexi, and other water systems merged into it along the way. With a relatively smooth and stable flow, it has become a quick way for Wangdu waterway transportation. The house where the witches agreed to use the cheese is on the east bank of the river.

Zema crossed the small bridge connecting the two sides of the river, and the cheese noticed that in addition to this little bridge that looked a bit old, it was necessary to rely on the ferry on the water to pass the river. Although the bridge at the foot is enough for two or three people to walk side by side, I am afraid that it only takes an ordinary carriage to run on it, which is enough to completely block the bridge. In other words, as long as the bridge is blocked, the entire east bank of the river may be isolated.

The mage frowned. Such a place is considered remote even in the entire capital. The east bank of the river is full of warehouses or temporary parking places. Not many people will actually settle down here. You know, there is not even a small shop selling food nearby, and the only store that can be considered as a commercial activity must also cross this small bridge. I am afraid that once night falls, there will not be a few people on the entire East Bank. The witch set this place as a backup location, which can indeed save a lot of energy to cover up the whereabouts.

Through the bridge between the two sides of the strait, the dress of the cheese is very conspicuous in this place where either a businessman or a boatman. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the mage had to release a spell similar to psychological hints to the people around him, so that they could not realize that a strange person with a horse was walking past him.

"Is this right?" Holding a piece of paper with the address written on it, the cheese came to the center of the entire east bank after seven turns and eight turns. This is a house surrounded by warehouses. In fact, there are so many The warehouse is outside. If you are not looking for it, ordinary people are likely to ignore the path leading to this house.

What a nice place, the cheese thought. Following the path through the narrow gap between the warehouses, a low building appeared in front of the mage. It is not correct to say that it is low. After all, the building still has two floors in terms of the number of windows, but perhaps the traditional steeple is not used. The flat roof makes the house feel not tall. And this architectural style is likely to be confused with the surrounding warehouse when viewed from a height.

Such a house will naturally not be protected by external walls, or the surrounding warehouse is the best external wall of this building. The cheese took out a huge iron key from his arms and went to the door. However, it is confusing that there is no keyhole or other external lock on this door. The cheese looked at the thick wooden door decorated with dazzling patterns and recalled the way the witches told him to enter the door, using the top of the key to tap lightly on different positions of the wooden door according to a certain pattern. If someone keeps the position knocked by the cheese alone, and then removes the other redundant patterns on the door, then he will see a strange closed pattern slowly become clear as the mage knocks.

"Ga ..." After the cheese hit the key thirteen times, the door made a dull sound and opened a gap. Judging from the dust that fell as the door opened, these witches certainly did not have the habit of cleaning their property regularly. Putting the keys away, the cheese pushed the heavy wooden door smoothly with both hands. At the same time, he realized that if he wanted to stay longer here, then apply a little lubricant to the door shaft of the door. It should be a necessary job.

"Cough" Although the mouth and nose have been covered with sleeves, the cheese is still coughing because of the dust in the room that has not been known for how long. According to Coranti, although she has always known about the existence of this house, she has not been here since she was born, and it is unknown why this building, which has been abandoned for nearly two decades, has not been damaged naturally.

Walking through the entrance gallery, the cheese can feel another thing besides dust in the room, the magic, the magic from the witch. These magical powers come from the seemingly inadvertent damage on the wall, which is actually intentional damage or the placement of certain items. This power can not only protect the building from natural rain, but also prevent theft. The cheese dare to guarantee that if he didn't enter the house in the right way, then the mage's situation at this time would definitely be more than just coughing twice with dust.

With a wave of his hand, the invisible force turned into a breeze that drove all the dust in the air and on the ground and furniture to one place, and the dust in the porch just turned into a dirty ball the size of a human head. The dust was cleared, and the furniture in the room looked much brighter. Reaching up to pick up the oil lamp hanging on the wall, the cheese noticed that the oil in the lamp had not completely dried up, nor did he know what grease was used.

The oil lamp was lit with the flint that he carried with him, and the mage walked down the porch carrying the lamp. After a turn, the narrow corridor came to an end, with two doors on each side of the corridor and an upward staircase in front. Without hesitation, the mage pushed open the door on the right hand side, which was a spacious living room.

Stepping into it, the cheese went straight to a corner of the living room, where a strange stone statue was placed, which looked like an animal curled up together. From the head of the stone statue's body, the animal depicted in the statue is probably a strange totem mixed with bats and wolves. However, the cheese learned from the magical atmosphere of the stone statue that this stone statue was actually the core of the house.

Taking out the huge key to open the door again, the cheese used the left hand with the witch's ring to insert the key into the opened mouth of the statue. As the key was completely inserted into the statue's long mouth, the cheese felt a slight The suction power is transferred from the hand holding the key. The mage immediately let go of the restriction on magic power, and let the stone statue absorb some magic power from himself. The absorbed power is not much, even if the ordinary people are taken away, it will only make the mind dizzy.

After the cheese infused the statue with magic, the stone eyes of the statue moved strangely. Releasing the hand holding the key and letting the key be swallowed into the stomach by the statue, the cheese's face was not much surprised.

"Hello, respected male host. Welcome to come back for the first time." Although there was no oral movement, a dull voice came from the inside of the statue.

"Your name." The mage said so.

"You can call me Falgen ~ www.readwn.com ~ I am the guardian and housekeeper of this house." The statue replied.

"Tell me about the configuration in this house." The cheese walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down, said to the statue claiming to be Feggen.

After a brief silence, Fergen began to report in another language the witch's circle in this house. This language is a language used internally by witches, and even the average spellcaster may not have heard of this ancient and rarely used language. After all, the age of witches has long since passed. The reason why Falgen reports in this language is obviously also to prevent short-term users like cheese from unauthorized changes to the magic circle operating in this building.

It is a pity that for the cheese, although it is necessary to briefly recall the content of this language, the master who has been educated by the Grey Tower does have the ability to use this language. The cheese picks out a few magic circles for monitoring or similar functions and tells Firgen to stop their operations. Even if they are allies with the witch, the mage will not be stupid enough to live under the supervision of the other party. As for whether Fergen will follow the instructions of the cheese, for its low-level creation, it does not yet have the ability to distinguish the person who gave the order.

After solving the surveillance in the house, the cheese is now finally determined that the building can be used temporarily by itself. In this case, contacting the Grey Tower is the next imperative for the Master.
