Chapter 6: Crisis.
Palin is dead!
For an instant, the hairs on Siwei's head suddenly rose and his pupil contracted to the extreme.
The promotion ceremony from magic apprentice to a magician is in essence a natural process, only some precious materials such as arcane crystal are needed, but the success rate of the promotion ceremony itself is extremely high, and the probability of death after failure is even less!
The only reason to cultivate Gu is to cultivate a Gu king?
But obviously not, there is not such a strong atmosphere of confrontation in the tower.
Anyway, this Mentor Gatling has a big problem.
Siwei walked quickly to Charlotte and whispered in her ear, "I want to talk to you about Palin!"
Hearing these words, Charlotte finally woke up from her absence. Although she was greatly frightened, she was not weak enough to lose her mind. She nodded gently, bent over to pick up the magic notes, followed Siwei out of the library, leaving behind a group of confused apprentices.
"What do you know?" Just entering the laboratory belonging to Siwei, Charlotte closed the door tightly, her chest heaving violently, questioning Siwei like an angry lion.
"Just a little bit. The night before yesterday after I finished my experiment, I passed through the storeroom and heard some news about the tower, Gallo and the seal of the secret method." Siwei carefully inspected the laboratory at first, then turned around and looked calmly at the emotional girl in front of him: "I think we are in the same boat now! Palin is dead, Gallo is dead, and all apprentices who leave the tower at the age of 20, whether they are promoted or not, are probably dead! As high-level magic apprentices, we are undoubtedly the most valuable prey in Gatling's eyes! "
Charlotte, who finally accepted the fact, felt as if her bones had been removed. Her whole person slipped slowly down the door to the ground. Glittering and translucent tears flashed in her eyes. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed in a low voice: "It's no use. Palin is dead too. Gatling was already a formal magician decades ago. We are only small magic apprentices and can't fight him at all! We can't escape! "
"Charlotte, look up and look into my eyes! We really can't escape, so we can only choose confrontation! Since Gatling only dared to attack our underage apprentices, he would definitely not have too much power! This is a difficult challenge. So we must be fully prepared. Fortunately, we still have enough time! " Siwei stared at Charlotte. In order to fight against the unknown Gatling, he must integrate all available resources and convincing Charlotte is the first step.
Looking at the girl in front of him, she slowly raised her head, and her eyes seemed to begin to shine with hope. Siwei nodded with satisfaction: "The interval between Gallo and Palin's promotion to a magician is two years. Yang, who is currently the strongest magician among our senior magic apprentices, has only 17 standard magic, so it is at least one year before the next promotion to being a Magician. Believe me, we can certainly come up with a way to get rid of the present predicament! "
Charlotte stopped crying, her skin was glittering and translucent like jade, and her eyes were reddish. People could not help but want to give her more care. Siwei took out his handkerchief from the inside pocket of the magic robe and handed it to the girl with pear blossom and rain in front of him: "Dry your tears, Charlotte! Palin's sacrifice was not meaningless. He made us deeply understand how dangerous our current environment is. The news is now limited to you and me. How many dark sons of Gatling are still unknown among the apprentices. In the following time, I hope you can keep your mind at rest and not show too much emotion. From now on I will contact you with more communication skills and stay strong, Charlotte! "
"Can I trust you? Siwei? " Charlotte looked at the young blonde who was two years younger than herself but seemed to have grown up too much and asked softly.
"I will not betray your trust, Charlotte!" Siwei's words are firm.
Looking at Charlotte leaving the room after tidying up her mood and long skirt, Siwei heaved a sigh of relief. A mocking smile had squeezed out of her mouth: "Zero, have you found it? The new world is also so colorful and full of challenges. It is really a life that makes people's hearts beat faster but they are still longing! "
...
All the apprentices in the tower were once again concentrated in the five-storey round hall. The apprentices in the round hall were as lively and festive as bunnies, because after two years there was finally another magician promotion. Master Palin was the forerunner they looked up to and an example for them to follow.
"My lovely children! I welcome your arrival! Today is a day to celebrate! Just now, Palin has been successfully promoted to a full-time magician! I'm sorry, according to the tradition of the tower, all the official magicians can no longer appear here. However, he has entrusted me to give each of you a present! Every apprentice can receive a kilo of candy, and the casting materials will double next month! "
The apprentices in the tower are all children of several years old and teenagers. When they heard that everyone was given a kilo of candy being the materials, they couldn't help cheering, more excited than the birthday of the glorious Lord.
Siwei noticed Charlotte beside him trembling slightly, with her head down, hiding her blue face with long hair that had been put down.
Siwei focused more on Gatling, who was already too old to walk fast. But his skin seemed smoother and his spirit was much brighter.
In the memory of young Siwei, when he first came to the tower six years ago, Gatling was as old as he is now. The tower has been built for decades, and it seems that Gatling was the only mentor from beginning to end.
Even if the world's ordinary human beings are disease-free and disaster-free, their life expectancy is only 60 or 70 years old. Only nobles and professionals with strong bloodlines can improve their life expectancy through successive promotions.
And Gatling, how can he live so long?
As a matter of urgency, in addition to steadily improving his own strength, the most important thing is undoubtedly to find out the secrets that belong to Gatling and the Tower.
Know your enemy and yourself, then you can win every battle.
After perfecting the "powerful vertigo" technique, Siwei began to study the "communication technique". This spell can make two people talk softly over a long distance. If there are more than 50 meters or too many obstacles, the words cannot be clearly heard.
"Listening" is a spell that temporarily strengthens the spellcaster's own hearing. It was by this spell that Palin apparently discovered Siwei that night.
The two spells are standard zero-ring spells, which can be cast with only one standard magic and have a simple spell structure. However, in Siwei's eyes, the two spells have good research prospects-the rudiments of telephone and radar.
Compared with these ignorant young girls in the tower, Siwei leans back against a world that is not inferior to this plane in some way. He naturally has an extremely broad vision and insight from a strategic perspective. With zero's help, he can verify and realize his own ideas one by one. No matter which road, these abilities are the most important characteristics of the road to being a master.
