Chapter 92 Ruins
In the Stormwind City human kingdom, griffins like to use as totems. Many warriors painted such ferocious birds on their shields or flags, but these are well-trained griffins, and even royal griffins that the royal trainer is responsible for the domestication.
The most famous griffin taming field is the Wild Hammer Dwarves on the Hinterland Eagle Nest Mountain. The griffins they have tamed can not only fight independently, carry goods, but also act as combat mounts and carry warriors to fight in the air. The prototype of the griffin cavalry in Warcraft is these Wild Hammer Dwarves.
Stormwind City has contacts with these wild hammer dwarves, and there are also many animal tamers who have the skills of taming griffins, so there are quite a few griffins serving in humans... But this does not mean that griffins on the cliff north of Mingjing Lake can be close to them!
In fact, there are a large number of wild griffins here, such fierce and cunning air overlords, who do not sell anyone’s tent at all... Humans have also tried to tame some wild griffins here, but without exception, they failed. Many excellent beast tamers died on the spot. The wild griffins here are stronger, more fierce, and more wild and difficult to tame than griffins elsewhere. This place is a place of battle under the shadow of their wings, and various disputes and killings have never stopped.
Wild beasts need food, fishmen need food, gnolls need food, and even the Diafi thieves who infiltrated them also need food. But the most powerful thing here is these raptors in the air, which also need food to survive and reproduce. Therefore, griffins prey on fishmen and beasts from time to time, and gnolls collaborate on using tools to kill griffins, and the survival struggle history in an entire animal world.
Chaos, very chaotic! No wonder after losing the protection of the Great Master Tower, ordinary people could not survive here at all and had to withdraw from the competition in the local food chain! Aige was interested in this place and was very interested! The more he understood this place, his ambitions became stronger and stronger! Although this place is a place of battle, it is also a place of opportunity. If he becomes strong enough, he might be able to establish a foundation here...
Perhaps, you can find an opportunity to improve your title. If you own territory, you may be able to put this piece in your pocket. It is unknown!
You know, for Stormwind City, this place is just a useless person. It has not really controlled this place for a long time. If someone is willing to re-incorporate this place into the territory and pay enough taxes every year, I believe they will be very happy! The premise is that the guys who come here to pioneer can survive here! Iger believes that he can, but it is definitely not now! He needs to become stronger and become strong enough! So strong that he can at least have a powerful enough mage tower!
There is one in front of me! This should be the one left by the legendary Dharma Saint who died on the battlefield?
While searching for the dense forest, Egg finally realized! The tall mage tower has experienced countless winds and frosts and is already ruined. Some walls have even big holes. The enchanted stone has long lost its magical glory. Some are full of gray, and some are dyed with moss.
It seemed to be telling something, and it seemed to be faithfully waiting for its master to return. Because no one could charge it, its function had long been lost. It must have been destroyed by something, and there were traces of being hit by heavy objects. Even the necessary mage emblem for the Mage Tower was destroyed (the master of the Mage Tower will install such mage emblem outside the Mage Tower, and the special pattern represents the identity of a certain mage, which is generally included). Only a pile of lifeless stones are left.
It was getting late, and he didn't plan to go back to Xiquan Fortress to rest, because this would seriously affect his progress in exploring Hogg. It would be a waste to walk the same road tomorrow. This dilapidated mage tower should allow a wandering mage to move in here, right?
Squinted his eyes and stared at the setting sun, Eiger made his final decision and headed towards the gate of the first floor of the tower! In fact, the stone gate of the first floor had already been poured aside. Obviously, a group of guys had already conducted destructive explorations here. This thick magic stone gate was obviously broken by people after losing the supply of magic. As for why Eiger knew, of course, it was because there were traces of explosives drilling here. In addition, the black marks caused by this explosion can also illustrate the problem! It should be the result of the use of goblin salt bombs.
I can't say that I'm angry, I just feel it's a pity! If he had the honor to study the activate magic of this stone gate, it might be helpful for broadening his magic system.
The scale of this mage tower should be relatively large, larger than most of what he saw in Stormwind City before. The entire mage tower is divided into six floors, which integrates a magic laboratory, material storage room, bedroom, bathroom, apprentice room, study, living room, and console. There is even an alchemy laboratory.
This is what Iger found on the wreckage of instruments from up to 6th floor, from what to use to the unusable.
Eiger carefully checked the floor below, and it was like he had been looted by a robber. All the slightly valuable things inside were moved away, leaving only some furniture that no one wanted. He spent some time searching carefully again and found nothing.
The interior space of the Mage Tower is larger than that of the outside, which is determined by the characteristics of the materials used to build it. Generally, buildings use ordinary stone and wood, but most of the building materials of the Mage Tower are rune stones. This special building material is not only strong and resistant to magic, but is several times better than steel.
The most important thing is to add a special rune "Hel", No. 15 of the 33 basic runes in Dragon Language, pronounced similar to Haier's voice change, which can expand space and reduce demand. Although not every mage understands space magic, this rune "Hel" is indeed widely used after detailed analysis by previous magic pioneers. The public research results are widely used in the construction of major mage towers. The actual effect depends on the number of rune stones used, but most of them can be more than doubled in the actual space.
The owner of this ruin is an ancient Dharma Saint who has a long history. Compared with the present, it was easier to obtain materials and magic civilization, and it was more developed and perfect. Therefore, the mage tower he carefully built would surpass the scale of most famous mage towers today... Even if there are actually quite a few mages who can admire the beautiful mage saints today.
The sixth floor is obviously the laboratory where the original owner specially used to alchemy to configure potions. Although it is not clear what level the alchemist has reached, it should not be too low just judging from the complexity of the decayed vessels on the ground. Iger could identify most of these ragged vessels, but the remaining part was never seen. Unfortunately, these things were abandoned for too long to be recycled and reused. It was a pity.
As a rare alchemist, this layer made Eiger stop for a long time. He almost cursed the damned looters, while searching everywhere in despair on this small layer, looking for even a little clue that might inherit the ancient heritage. The damage of this layer was very serious. I saw a big hole in this place outside before. I guess the intruders had conducted a carpet search on this place, judging from the violent destruction of almost every layer.
Eiger guessed that this was a group of mercenary teams without mages (or mages have limited abilities), and they should be more professional. This can be seen from the fact that the tower was basically unloaded. These people even pried off all the things on the walls. I guess these people should have portable space equipment, otherwise those big things would not be able to be taken away.
It is indeed not easy to pick up people after those evil wolves. Egg spent a lot of time and finally found a little clue: it was a little northerly position in the middle of the floor, which solidified a large piece of blood, but Egg still saw the tip of the iceberg of a black rune under the cover of the blood...
This discovery immediately made him excited. I think there should have been a fierce small-scale battle here, and at least someone was injured and his blood was contaminated on the ground. Judging from the location, this should be the bottom of the alchemy test bench, which was always covered by the table. After the blood flowed in, the activation runes below were covered. Even the color behind it began to oxidize fully in the air, and it became similar to the black runes. Then the test bench was taken away by the whole bundle of those **s, but these guys definitely did not have the mage who was extremely sensitive to runes, so they survived the search of that intensity!
“Cleaning!”
This is a common and most basic trick. Almost a mage, even a trainee mage can perform it neatly. Most occasions are used to clean up their clothes or surrounding environment, so that the mage is always in a clean and confident state. Although it is only the lowest level trick, almost everyone cannot do without it. With the use of the magician's cleaning technique, the black blood on the ground was completely lifted up, and a simple six-pointed magic array was completely exposed to Aeger's eyes...
Regardless of the dirty and messy in front of him, he summoned two elves to protect the surroundings. He knelt down, mobilized his mental power to lock it firmly, and began to analyze one magic node after another, one magic line by one.
“Sol”!
“Ko”!
“Ohm”!
