How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

"We come from Siren Island." Alan said.

The barrier is peaceful, and a few magicians are on the edge to deal with the beast swarm. The difficulty of the beast swarm lies in the quantity, and their levels are not high-at least the top-level monsters are only sporadic.

The person who led them in was named Qiuna, a fire magician. Some of the magicians who participated in the battle wore robes of the color of their respective attributes, and some were similar to Adele—the dark blue robes had stars shining on them. Hui, these people fight in a unique way. Lin Wei noticed that they seldom move their positions, and there is no magic fluctuation around them, but the beast tide in front of them continues to weaken, and countless corpses fall one after another—it seems that they are the "stars" of the astronomy tower. Great Prophecy".

Qiu Na looked at them with a smile: "Guests from the east... what are you going to do here?"

"Is Teacher Adele here?" Lin Wei didn't answer her question directly.

Compared with these mysterious and unfamiliar magicians in the astrology tower, his teacher is obviously more reliable.

"She's on the third floor," Qiu Na said, but she didn't let the three of them go there. Instead, she turned around and joined the battle again: "The Astrologer's strength is limited, so two people are left to help."

The result of "leaving two people to help" is obvious, and only Lin Wei entered the tower alone.

The enchantment is still some distance away from the real location of the tower. Looking at it from a distance, the tall and narrow tower body is very magnificent when you approach it. The line of sight is from the bottom of the wide and solid tower upwards, without seeing the top of the tower, as if it can stretch to the infinitely high sky , different from the light flying bridge and floating island of the Academy of Magic, its tone is heavy and solemn black, like a column penetrating the sky and the earth, with the sky hanging upwards, and the extreme north with snowflakes flying behind it.

The stained glass reflects the colorful and dim colors. The circular wall of the hall is not only inlaid with various picture frames, but also engraved with handwriting from different languages ​​in the blank space, which seems to be the motto left by the predecessors. Lin Wei hurriedly passed by, vaguely distinguishing several The sentence "Although I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death" and "So I should write this...and I should do this", he really couldn't put any profound philosophy in his head, he just thought it was some obscure nonsense—this The walls are really lively.

The old-style escalator rotates upwards. Looking from the bottom, layers of doors surround and overlap each other, forming a dazzling scene. The highest dome is an almost fake starry sky, with thousands of tiny lights shining, forming a static starry sky. Figure, if it is not known that it is daytime outside, it will definitely give people the illusion that the top of the star tower is not closed and directly leads to the vast night sky.

He turned around on the third floor - he really didn't know which of these identical doors could find his teacher.

I had no choice but to randomly choose the one in front of me, and when I was about to knock on it, a voice came from the top of the tower.

"brat."

He was probably calling himself—he raised his head, looked around the winding stairs, and finally saw a figure at the intersection of the starry sky and the railing.

The robe of the person whose face cannot be seen clearly is extremely light silver blue, fluttering as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time, he was looking down, saw Lin Wei raised his head, and said: "Come up."

His voice was very soft, but it seemed to have been rendered layer by layer, like a falling star.

Lin Wei, who had no choice, naturally stepped up the ladder step by step.

There was a smile in this man's eyes—his young and ordinary face gave people a sense of familiarity not only from the appraiser who bargained with Daniel in the trading house in the floating capital, but also from some more vague but profound memories.

"Snyder?" He whispered the name.

"It's me." The man's smile suddenly became bright and sly: "You are the companion of that lovely green-robed alchemist."

"His companion died in the Valley of Ice two days ago." Lin Wei looked directly at the man's pale silver pupils, trying to find something out of them.

"I'm sorry..." The man put his arms on the railing, buried his head between his arms, and there was some strange childishness in his movements.

"Who are you?" Lin Wei asked with a frown.

"You can also call me Adrihiger...but I don't like this name, it's too difficult to pronounce," he raised his head, made a movement of playing the bagpipe, and said mysteriously: "I'm a person who can talk a lot The bard of stories."

Lin Wei looked at him suspiciously: "What else?"

"Well, let me think about it..." Adrichig closed his eyes: "I am an appraiser in the trading house. This year, my transactions exceeded the limit by a lot. Also went to the Heart of Callaway to serve as Inquisitor, but not in recent years - their fight has been getting worse."

Lin Wei listened to this person describe his occupation, from "selling flowers to female magicians in the floating capital" to "trying magic plants in the alchemy material shop". There are so many ways to pass the time besides playing all day.

When his statement finally came to an end, Lin Wei's eyes still maintained obvious distrust: "You seem to have said less."

"Smart little guy." Adrihiger blew into his ear affectionately: "But you are so rude...don't you allow me to hide a little bit?"

Lin Wei turned his head indifferently and ignored him.

He looked down from the highest point, and suddenly found that the floor pattern of the dark honey-colored hall he had walked through before was extending in a familiar way-to form a complete continental map.

When looking from bottom to top, he could imagine the entire vast and deep ocean from a corner of the starry sky, but now from top to bottom, it seemed that the entire continent was just a tiny silhouette, indescribably frivolous and fragile.

The man took the initiative to break the silence: "Well... Actually, I am a prophet."

Lin Wei was unmoved.

Until Adrihiger finally said: "I finally invited you here alone as a guest-how can you treat me like this?"

He narrowed his eyes very slightly: "Master's style."

After a while, Adrihiger sighed softly: "Okay - I am the owner of this ghost place, are you willing to talk to me now?"

Lin Wei observed him quietly with his mental power. Just like what he saw in the trading house, a person with no magic fluctuations, a "naughty" person, could not be compared with the identity of the tower owner anyway. Contact, the mission of the astrology tower to "guard the past, present and future of the magical world" is incompatible with such a person, with some absurd humor, but he has an indescribably distant aura all over him, not the "tower master" Mysterious identities cannot be explained.

"So...Your Excellency Adrichig, what do you want to tell me?"

"I want to exchange something with you." Adrichig blinked, his eyes flashing with the unique light when he was bargaining with Daniel.

Lin Wei finally turned his head to look at him, concealing the momentary confusion in his eyes very well - also shining with the unique light when he was bargaining with Daniel, and said: "Say."

"My request is very simple, if one day you find out the whereabouts of the goddess Katanafea, tell me," Adrisig said, mysteriously erecting a tree between himself and Lin Wei. Finger: "In exchange, I can answer a question for you."

Lin Wei folded his arms: "Why should I ask you a question?"

"The charming color is filled with the mist from the swamp. When I see your eyes, I know that you are deeply involved in unsolvable puzzles and unknowable predicaments, and the mouthpiece of a prophet is a hundred times more precious than the nose of an alchemist... I don’t know. How many magicians want to get my guidance in confusion—and are willing to pay any price for it.” Adrichig finally put away the childish, strange, pale silver His pupils made his smile even more mysterious.

"I've heard you're profound and mysterious—why not be generous? Like five questions, ten would be fine."

"I can't afford such a price," Adrihiger shook his head: "You are a smart little thing, you can't know too much."

"Then," Lin Wei pondered for a while: "Four, I can ask one less."

"No." Adrihiger refused to budge.

"About the goddess, I know some other things... as long as you want to know." Lin Wei looked at him.

The man smiled softly: "Three."

Lin Wei: "It's acceptable, but I want a sincere answer, the most detailed one."

"That's natural."

"There's one more thing I want to know—what can I ask?"

Adrihiger smiled with a hint of arrogance: "Everything."

Lin Wei thought for a while, and the longbow pattern drawn on the map and the messy scratches on the land of Gale Valley flashed in his mind.

"No, don't want these." He thought to himself: "I only have three questions, and I will choose those that I have no possibility to answer by myself."

The light here is as dim as night, but his thoughts are as clear as white letters on black paper. The known, the unknown, and the things to be known are all clearly prioritized in an order that only Lin Wei himself understands. Out of the three that will be asked to exit.

"The first one," he looked at the smiling Tower Master, "What's the relationship between Adrihiger and Isa Ives?"

"An unexpected question," the tower owner said with interest, "They are almost two names of one person, equivalent to 'Schneider'."

Lin Wei smiled: "We just promised each other - a detailed answer."

"I can't lie to you...well." Adrisig pointed to his eyes: "No one can get eternal life, but some things can, such as these hellish eyes-it is said that the river of time flows in it, Generation after generation of tower owners died, only it was inherited, with the knowledge and memory from the beginning, some were gradually forgotten, and some were still brand new."

"Second," Lin Wei turned his gaze to the dimly lit mainland map below: "What is the relationship between the Valley of Sharp Gold and the Gun of Longinus?"

"Holy Lance of Longinus, a loving elder who lived a hundred times through time between now and the Dark Ages, was the ultimate expression of chivalry, sacrificed himself for the continent, and gave half of Strength, making the gold element from a very rare type to one of the five most common types of natural magic elements-but this is a wrong attempt, and it is an inevitable futility."

Adrihiger sighed: "I'm sorry, I can only go here. This question involves too much. If the explanation is more detailed, it is equivalent to me directly answering thousands of questions."

"It's done." Lin Wei successfully raised his eyebrows, which made Adrihiger sigh again, this time frustrated and helpless.

"To be honest, these two questions make me a little disappointed. You can obviously ask some more urgent questions-such as the source and purpose of the Valley of Elements." Adrisig shook his head: "Two questions, one about me , a companion about you...you seem like a selfless person."

"The last one." Lin Wei ignored his words. He looked at the starry sky that seemed to be within reach, his eyes were as empty as the starlight, and his voice suddenly became extremely soft and low, with a complexity that he couldn't even understand clearly. sure.

"Can you turn back time?"

Adrihiger suddenly smiled—he had been laughing before, but never was more meaningful than now, and the smile gradually widened. Lin Wei left an indelible shadow in his heart.

He walked to a dark brown double door with silver trim. "You come with me."
