313 the missing mage tower
After the initial shock, when Zhao Xu interjected to explain, everyone finally understood that they had all been connected by Zhao Xu’s spell.
It wasn’t any fourth or fifth-circle ‘mind-link’, but only a second-circle’ ally conversation ‘spell.
it was the group version of the zero-level spell ” communication spell, ” and it could also prevent the content from being deciphered by moving the lips.
after zhao xu’s spell encryption method, the entire watchman guild started discussing excitedly, and everyone pointed to their own target and started talking.
at last, frostsword reorganized his discipline, and it was not so chaotic for a while.
Considering that there might be a powerful enemy nearby, it was even more impossible for them to escape at this point.
therefore, frostsword continued to deploy people according to his previous deduction. however, compared to before, he had specifically instructed the people stationed on the lake.
Slowly, when the higher-ups of the guilds continued to speak, the meeting turned into an exchange.
In the end, it wasn’t until Zhao Xu’s spell’s duration of 70 minutes was almost up that everyone finished their discussion.
According to their initial plan, the warrior frostsword, barbarian stump, forest patroller snow, rogue thief, poet kelu, priest clear sky, wizard Chen nuo, and Zhao Xu were the first eight people to go into the water.
Zhao Xu took the level 5 underwater breathing scroll that frostsword handed over to him and immediately unfurled the goatskin scroll that was about 30 centimeters long. He looked at the arcane text on it and started casting the spell.
Gradually, a ball of blue light started to appear in Zhao Xu’s palm. It was like a clear spring floating in the air.
then, he walked over to everyone who was about to enter the water and gently touched them, transferring the energy of the light over.
The original duration of underwater breathing was 2 hours per level, a total of 10 hours. On average, everyone got a full hour and 15 minutes of breathing time.
After that, everyone took an alchemy illumination staff that was worth 2 gold coins and jumped into the water with a rock tied to them.
it was impossible to light an oil lamp at the bottom of the lake, so frostsword had prepared a large number of illumination staves from the start.
the surface of the mirror moon lake was very clear, but after sinking for a while, zhao xu’s vision and senses were all greatly suppressed.
At the same time, the water pressure was also pressing down on his body, especially after the deep dive, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
According to what was written in the notebook, the wizard Tower had crashed into the mud at the bottom of the lake. only their group had to go all out to have a chance of finding the wizard tower.
as such, the first wave of sorcerers split up into groups of two and began to search for the entrance to the sorcerer tower at the bottom of the lake according to their own abilities.
however, the mirror moon lake itself was extremely vast. its area alone was more than two or three football fields combined.
but when zhao xu reached the bottom of the lake, he realized that the bottom of the mirror moon lake was mostly made of hard rock. it was just that the top had been covered with a layer of mud as time passed.
If that Mage Tower had come crashing down, then it would have probably broken the rocks at the bottom of the lake. It should have been revealed by now, but he couldn’t see anything. There were some gray things that were protruding out, and Zhao Xu knocked them down with the scepter in his hand. They were basically the sediment from the bottom of the lake and not the tip of the mage Tower.
an hour later, everyone followed their initial agreement and automatically floated back to the surface.
in the end, when zhao xu and his soul catcher reappeared together, they were all looking at each other.
everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything that looked like a mage tower.
when frostsword heard the report, his expression darkened.
it was indeed a problem for him to search for the ruins of the wizard tower. no one could guarantee that no one had lifted the wizard tower in the past hundred years.
however, after seeing the detailed records in the notebook, frostsword was basically certain that the mage tower still existed and had not been excavated.
“What do we do?” the poet, kelu, was also a little depressed.
According to frostsword’s original plan, the second time they used ” underwater breathing ” would be when their entire team entered the tower.
who would have thought that this would be the situation?
“What do you think, Mr. Gale?” Frostsword was also a little flustered at this moment, and he quickly asked Zhao Xu for his opinion.
Zhao Xu didn’t think that the ball would end up at his feet, but his train of thought was very clear. continue, try to expand the scale. if it doesn’t work, we’ll try again tomorrow.”
When he saw the serious look on Zhao Xu’s face, frostsword also nodded his head seriously.
After that, Zhao Xu didn’t go down again. Instead, he used up his spell slots and cast the underwater breathing technique twice in a row.
This time, he divided the time equally among 20 people, so that each person could breathe for just over an hour.
however, an hour later, when everyone surfaced one after another, they all shook their heads, indicating that they had not gained anything.
for a moment, all the members of the union looked at each other, not even having the time to wipe off the water droplets on their bodies.
It was as if the heavens were playing a huge joke on them.
at this moment, frostsword finally started to panic. he immediately took out the three remaining underwater breathing scrolls and gave them to zhao xu. he used them to increase the amount of water that his core team had originally used to enter the tower.
“mr. gale, please cast a spell to get everyone down.” Frostsword gasped for breath, and the veins on his neck were bulging.
“30 people?” Zhao Xu looked at the underwater breathing scroll and frowned as he saw that each of the three prices had increased by 350 gold coins.
Originally, he had only suggested that they try again. The fact that they could not find anything after an hour of searching with 30 people already showed that this method was not very reliable.
He already felt that he would end up empty-handed if this continued, but frostsword wasn’t willing to give up. Even if he had to spend another 1000 gold coins and resources, he still wanted to investigate this matter again.
Zhao Xu was the one who had accepted the mission, so he naturally wouldn’t try to convince the other party to give up.
frostsword agreed, but the group of players behind him, whose eyes were also red, did not agree.
after zhao xu took the scroll and cast the underwater breathing spell three times in a row, the 30 members of the watchman guild got their share. everyone lined up around the mirror moon lake and jumped into the water one by one. after they sank to the bottom of the lake, they all headed towards the center of the lake at the same time.
The frost Sword sank into the water as well, and Zhao Xu continued to sit by the lake.
The night breeze was slightly cold, and the three moons in the sky had already risen. The gentle moonlight also poured down on the lake, instantly creating a hazy and unreal feeling.
This time, frostsword was going all out, and Zhao Xu had his Soul Catcher follow him around so that he could use his TrueSight spell at any time.
However, less than 50 minutes had passed, and there was still some time left before Zhao Xu saw the players who usually didn’t join the game start to come out of the lake.
“It’s all gone,” frostsword was completely drenched, allowing the lake water to drip onto his hair. he no longer had the strength to wipe himself clean.
“Why would I? why is it like this?” rogue bandit was also muttering to himself, as if he couldn’t believe that everything was different.
his sister had just gone down with him and was looking at her brother nervously.
she knew very well that the entire guild had basically been emptied out for the sake of this mage tower’s ruins.
“Perhaps this Wizard Tower itself was nothing more than an illusion in the beginning.” Frostsword said dejectedly.
A total of six ” underwater breathing ” s, a total of no less than 60 hours of searching under the lake, and still could not find the wizard Tower under the lake.
it was either something that they could not reach with their current manpower, or it did not exist at all.
And even if it did exist, there was still a mysterious force nearby that was paying close attention, ready to intervene at any time. This adventure had been covered in a shadow from the very beginning.
However, he was really unwilling to let everyone return to their homes so rashly.
“Guild leader, why don’t we just forget about it?”
” but we’ve taken too many resources this time. i’m afraid the guild won’t be able to operate if we go back empty-handed. ”
“That’s better than wasting time here.”
the guild leader, frostsword, sighed and walked over to zhao xu. he said helplessly, ” “i’m sorry, wind mage. we might have to have a meeting first.”
zhao xu nodded and walked over to the surface of the lake, which was far away from the rest of the team. he stared at the night sky in xifeng valley, which had become extremely quiet.
Under the faint moonlight, one could barely make out the outline of the day, but it was even more mysterious.
suddenly, zhao xu noticed that there was a green phosphorescence coming from the area where the frostsword was. even though he was quite a distance away, zhao xu could just barely recognize that it was the word “fierce” written in large letters.
his heart tightened as he realized that it was the effect of divination, a level 2 divine spell unique to priests.
it was likely that the other party’s priest was casting a spell with a 2nd-circle divination scroll. divination could only predict the future within half an hour, so he could only cast it at such a close moment.
Needless to say, the other party must be asking if continuing the search would help them find the wizard Tower.
The answer given by the gods and their servants was also very direct. It was “fierce” that would bring bad results.
it wasn’t even the neutral “flat” in nature.
Zhao Xu’s heart was very calm. He was probably the only one here who had gained anything, and all he had to do was get his hands on that notebook.
As for how he was going to get the notebook from frostsword, he would have to think about it carefully.
his target was the wizard tower, so it didn’t mean that he would be able to get what he wanted just by participating in the mission.
In the end, frostsword came over with his guild members after the meeting.
to his surprise, frostsword immediately told zhao xu about the results of his divination as well as their thoughts of giving up.
“mr. gale, what we want to do now is to stop our losses, so we’d like to ask you if you’re willing to buy the information on the ruins of the wizard tower.”
as he spoke, frostsword took out the “lead box” that contained the notebook and placed it in front of zhao xu.
zhao xu also realized for the first time that he was in a difficult situation where he had to return the pearl.
All he wanted was that notebook.
however, frostsword and the others did not hide the results of their divination from him. furthermore, the information about the mage tower had also attracted the attention of outsiders, so frostsword and the others did not have too high of an expectation.
and if zhao xu paid the gold coins, then frostsword and the others would quit, so this was one of the best ways for them to stop the bleeding right now.
After all, they had only failed to find the wizard Tower.
“agree to their request.” Suddenly, Antonya’s voice rang out in Zhao Xu’s ears.
