The invisible staircase is not a straight path, but twists and turns irregularly as it goes up. Although each section was connected, the stairs twisted far beyond Shad's imagination. They walked quite slowly, and the witches behind them were all pulling at the hem of Xia De's jacket, and lowered their heads to pay attention to where his feet had stepped.
And when Xia De tried to reproduce the appearance of this twisted staircase in his mind, the spiral and reversal that completely violated normal human thinking made Xia De groan and almost fell down. An extremely terrifying knowledge was used to build this staircase, and the shape of this staircase itself is part of the knowledge.
The height of the first floor of the tower was much higher than it looked from the outside. The three of them walked up at least twice the height of the first floor from the outside, but they still didn't see the second floor.
And as it got higher and higher, the influence of the existence of the gods itself on mortals has already made Miss Teresa unable to support it. The young witch was unwilling to let herself be a burden to her companions, but in the end she had to be supported by Miss Violet.
In this way, they kept going upwards, and when Xia De came to the 14th minute of this lost time adventure, they finally saw a floating bronze door appearing at a higher place.
Carefully going up the invisible stairs, and finally came to the door, both Shade and Miss Violet breathed a sigh of relief:
"God is on the second floor behind the door, I'm going to open the door now."
Xia De ordered a word back, and the door was pushed open with a slight push. The gods did not set a test on the issue of opening the door. After Xia De walked through the door without hesitation, he found himself standing on a solid ground, which made him feel very good. When he thought of going up that staircase when he left, he was a little upset.
[I remember the location of all the stairs. 】
Xia De's mood immediately improved a lot.
The environment on the second floor of the tower is very interesting. The scene on the first floor is a lake surrounded by mist, and the second floor is the bank of a stream.
There is still mist here, with the bank on one side and the stream on the other. The shore is a pebble beach, and the water flows from one direction to another. If you look carefully, you can't tell the source of the water at all.
But neither on the pebble beach nor on the water surface, there is no trace of the **** of the lake [the indeterminate wise man].
Miss Violet supported Miss Teresa and stood behind Shade. The big witch looked at the golden marks on Shade's body and resisted the urge to touch it:
"God, is it on the third floor?"
"No, it's right here."
Shad said, then held out his hand:
"I think I know what's going on, the departed gods of ancient wisdom have to do with water, so...give me all your papers."
The two papers of the witches were handed to Xia De, who then took out his own paper and went to the stream under the watchful eyes of the witches.
He bent down and threw Miss Violet's thesis on modifying the fire-resistant potion into the water. It floated away from the shore and gradually sank into the water.
"Miss Violet, congratulations."
Xia De said softly, and the witch emperor behind him forced a smile.
I bent down and threw Miss Teresa's graduation thesis chapter three into the water. It floated away from the shore, but it floated back.
"Well...Miss Teresa, I'm afraid your graduation thesis is not up to par."
Supported by her aunt, the witch of the Serkses Higher Medical College felt that she was really unlucky now.
He bent down and threw his math paper into the water, it floated away from the shore, and swirled into the water.
"Thank you Miss Sylvia!"
Xia De praised softly in his heart, picked up Miss Teresa's paper, returned it to the witches, and returned the paper to her. The young witch of the ten rings took the stack of wet papers with a sad face, and Xia De seemed to see Miss Violet smiling.
Originally, it was just a trickling stream, but oscillating ripples appeared after Xia De retreated. After a while, as the vortex appeared on the surface of the stream, the gods slowly rose from the vortex.
He stood barefoot in that vortex, wearing a purple robe. The appearance of the saint is still the lady with blond hair and black eyes, wearing a pointed hat on her head, the lens on the left side of the glasses is in the shape of a five-pointed star, and the lens on the right is in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
She holds two papers in each hand, which are the crystallization of wisdom of Shade and Miss Violet.
"God~"
The three of them paid their respects to the god, and the **** with a smile on his face said above the stream:
"You have brought your own crystallization of wisdom and completed the first test."
The light flow of the two papers disappeared, and Xia De and Miss Violet also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great one, what is our second test?"
Xia De asked softly, but the saint shook his head slightly:
"My test required only one crystallization of wisdom, and you brought two. You deserve an extra reward before I give you a second test."
Xia De blinked his eyes and understood that this was an extra reward for over-completing the test:
"Excuse me, what do you want to give us?"
The witches were still waiting for the gods to tell them the content of the reward, but they didn't expect Xia De to ask boldly.
There was a shimmering light all over God, and he asked him on the stream, and the soft voice was so sacred:
"Before I give you an extra gift, answer me, what is wisdom like?"
This question did not bother Xia De at all:
"Water. Wisdom has no form like water, but it can shape everything like water."
Whether it's the gods in front of you, the "goddess of the lake" of the sixth era, or the test of the chosen ones, they are always accompanied by water flow when they appear. Although Xia De hadn't explored the mystery, when the **** asked a question, he immediately got the answer.
"Yes, wisdom is like a stream of water, endless."
With God's long sigh, three transparent water droplets flew to the foreheads of the three. No one stopped the water drop, and as the water drop hit the forehead, the cool feeling immediately made the three of them feel like they were just waking up from a dream. A huge amount of spirit poured into the body and soul with miracle elements, which did not bring new spirit runes or spells to Shad, he got a blessing.
This is not a temporary blessing like the "Green Blessing" given by [Father of the Infinite Tree], but a permanent blessing like the "God of Gamblers' Blessing".
"The blessing of the wise man. It can't improve your wisdom, and it can't make you have unique talents beyond ordinary people. But when you are confused or tempted, you can wake up faster. The wise man never gives power directly, the wise man only gives guidance."
"Thank you for your generosity, my god."
The three of them thanked each other, and Miss Violet was happy to have received God's blessing without doing anything; Miss Teresa was a little annoyed because she hadn't made any contribution; Specific tests are given, but there are rewards for overcompleting them.
This made him even more enthusiastic about the key of the Fifth Epoch 5177.
The voice of God continued:
"Your second test, offer a sacrifice that is enough to satisfy me."
Xia De asked respectfully:
"What kind of sacrifice?"
"water."
"What request?"
"Think for yourself."
"How to satisfy you?"
"It requires your wits."
Xia De took a deep breath, knowing that this time he needed to go to the time and space of the sixth era to find:
"God, please give us some time. Also, can you tell us about the third test?"
The next time he will use this time key is the third time. If the third test he learns when he comes next time cannot be completed immediately, then he will be in big trouble.
"After completing the second test, you can learn about the third test."
God said, seeing that Xia De didn't continue to ask, he followed the vortex and disappeared into the mist on the stream. The stream returned to calm, leaving only three people standing by the stream.
The tower is not a good place to discuss things, the three of them left the tower first, and only started discussing after arriving outside the tower. It was already the 26th minute that Xia De came here, and it seemed that this time he still couldn't return to the camp with the witches.
"Is it recorded in the books, what kind of sacrifices are usually offered by the followers of this great one?"
Miss Teresa was still repairing, Xia De asked immediately when Miss Violet came over. The Witch Emperor came to the Lost Lake of the Broken Isles well prepared. She must have investigated this **** in advance.
"The clear water of the lake, the morning dew, the tears of a newborn baby."
Miss Violet said that the good gods of the fifth era, like the five righteous gods of the sixth era, never demanded sacrifices from mortals. And if mortals really want to offer sacrifices, they will only use ordinary items that are not difficult to obtain.
For example, the sacrifices enshrined under the holy emblem of "Father of Peace" are often the weapons of veterans or the feathers dropped by white doves; the "Mr. Dawn" believed by Shade and Augustus priests accept the offerings of mortals and part at dawn copied scriptures.
Only evil gods, including but not limited to the Lord of the Blood Banquet and that unseemly vampire duke, would demand living sacrifices.
Xia De and Miss Violet were talking, and heard Miss Teresa retching, the Witch Emperor frowned to check her situation:
"The further you go to the upper floor of the tower, the stronger the influence of the Great One will be on mortals. Teresa stayed on the second floor for too long, and she can't go with us next time."
"No, aunt, since I've come here, how can I give up..."
Miss Teresa said with a painful expression that her body was not harmed, but the trauma of her spirit was the key point.
"There will always be a way for your graduation thesis."
Xia De persuaded, and then put his hand on Miss Teresa's forehead:
"Sindia's Silver Moon Gift."
This healing ability specializes in mental healing, and while it can only be used at night, it is very effective against mentally traumatized effects. Miss Violet should have a similar power, but she still needs to preserve her own spirit to prevent the next attack. What's more, in the view of the great witch of the thirteenth ring, this kind of injury that can heal itself with time does not need treatment at all.
"It's not about the graduation thesis, and it's not about getting the blessing of the gods like this time. Your Majesty Violet, how many times can a mortal have this opportunity?"
Miss Teresa raised her head with difficulty. She grabbed Shade's hand and barely stood up straight, feeling the power of the silver light in Shade's right hand:
"Sir, I'm not like you. I'm just an ordinary witch."
Although the spirit is still weak, but the eyes are still so powerful.
"Oh well."
Shad nodded.
"You don't persuade her anymore?"
Miss Violet asked with a smile, looking Shade up and down:
"I thought you would say that life is more important~www.mtlnovel.com~Life is important, but for some people, seeking knowledge and exploring is more important. In order to witness the scenery of higher places, sometimes it is necessary to pay some Therefore, I admire those brave and rational climbers. Although Miss Teresa has not yet graduated, she is still an adult. Why should I refute the choice she made for herself?"
Xia De asked back, the witch wearing glasses who was receiving Xia De's treatment showed a slight smile, Miss Violet nodded slightly in surprise, and raised her eyebrows:
"It's surprising to hear that from a man. Oh, it's not sexist, it's just a summary of life experience. Yes, brave and sensible climbers."
She stroked her cheek:
"A girl like her who is not as beautiful as me can only climb to a higher place by chasing truth and wisdom. Yes, Schultz, I will still take you next time, but you have to do it yourself I’m not ready to come back.”
Xia De looked at Miss Teresa's expression again...she had no expression. Although the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era was somewhat different from what Xia De thought, in general, it was indeed no different from his imagination.
