No matter how
difficult and painful the teleportation is, it will always come to an end. When the light curtain emitted by the jade talisman in his hand became fainter and fainter and was about to disappear, the teleportation finally ended.
As the eyes suddenly brightened, Lin Xiao felt light and grounded. He opened his eyes and saw a dark scene.
The sky was filled with gray fog, and the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and no sunlight could be seen. Only the tops of the towers not far away were covered with strands of light, and the light that was like a sun-like light ball was shining all around.
"Everyone come down and don't block the latecomers."
Coming down from this giant descending array that was probably more than 100 meters in diameter and 200 to 300 meters high, like a stepped pyramid, there were already companions who had descended in the
previous batch waiting there. While waiting for the latecomers, Lin Xiao looked around.
This was a super-giant city, or a fortress, made of rocks. With the high platform where the central descending array was located as the center, it gradually lowered its height and spread outward. Along the way, there were war towers belonging to various major schools everywhere.
The so-called war tower can be understood as the wizard tower of this world. Of course, it is inferior to the wizard tower in terms of mystery, but it is definitely not inferior to the wizard tower in terms of combat amplification. Every totem master apprentice will prepare to build a tower of his own after becoming a formal totem master.
Like the towers in the White Tower School, each tower represents a formal totem master.
Of course, a large part of the towers in the school were built by predecessors and inherited by descendants. Now there are very few newly built towers. At least no new towers have been built in the school in the past ten years. Apprentices like Lin Xiao who have signed a contract with the school, if they can become formal totem masters in the future, are eligible to choose an unmanned tower to inherit, which can be regarded as a benefit. The
leading professor led them through a circle of rings formed by towers to a certain area. The towers here are particularly dense. A rough count shows that there are sixty or seventy towers of different heights forming a tower array. The unique logo on the tower indicates that this is the area of the White Tower School.
This city is a base for the advent established by most of the schools in the area where the white tower is located. The schools have invested a lot of resources here to build towers to defend against native attacks, and use this as a springboard to go to other planes.
Because it is too troublesome to descend once, they will stay here for at least three years before returning to the main world.
Not long after, they were taken to the central tower, where they met the host of the school here, the dean of the Star Academy, a very powerful totem master.
Most of the people in the Star Academy are women. This old lady who looks very kind when she smiles has a good face. It can be vaguely seen that she was also a beauty when she was young. She said to them with a crystal cane:
"Welcome all young people to come. There are no restrictions here. You can stay here all the time, or you can take tasks to leave the fortress and enter the bloody wasteland. You have enough freedom."
"But the school prefers children with an adventurous spirit. The room assigned to you is the number on the jade card in your hand. There are some interesting things in the room. You will know what they are after you see them. Now let's go."
The old lady looked very tired, waved her hand, and was helped away by a beautiful woman.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Several seniors who had come a few years earlier than them smiled and left the hall in groups of three or five, familiar with the way.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao followed him out. There were several apprentices stationed in the area all year round, showing them the way.
Following the instructions on the jade tablet, he came to the 31st floor of a tall tower. This entire floor was his residence.
When he entered the house, he saw a thigh-thick metal pillar in the center of the hall at first glance. There were dense lines on it, extending all the way to a crystal screen on the top of the metal pillar that emitted a faint light like a mirror.
Lin Xiao touched the crystal screen with his finger in surprise. A circle of white light spread out from the place where his fingertips touched. The crystal screen lit up, showing a familiar yet unfamiliar picture.
"Damn, it looks so familiar?"
This kind of technology has a substitute. The development of the totem world in this regard is higher than he expected.
Touching the center of the crystal screen with his finger, a screen unfolded to reveal a little man with the emblem of the White Tower School, who spoke to him in a mechanical voice:
"Mr. Ronnie, the 2954th freshman chief, according to the school regulations, you will have the opportunity to open the Advent Array once a year here, as well as 100 standard merit points each year. You can use the standard merit points to redeem anything at the base. The merit points have been distributed, please check them."
"All questions can be queried through this system. If you have any questions that cannot be queried, please contact your current school leader."
He tried to check the redeemable items, and the interface changed the screen after running for a few seconds.
He tried to redeem another item, and the screen still changed very slowly.
"It's very simple and slow, but it does feel that way."
After thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea of reporting through his real body. The military probably knew about this a long time ago, but the news was still transferred to his real body through the Creation Cube.
Lin Xiao didn't have to do anything in the first few days after arriving, so he spent a few days to go around the base, mainly in the school area and some public areas that can be accessed. He didn't seem to be interested in the restricted areas.
There are many curious people like him, so his behavior is very normal.
It was not until the third day that he started to do serious work, and then he saw people contacting each other. Some people left the school station one after another, some were idle in the fortress, and some entered the blood wasteland outside the fortress.
The conquest of the plane has never been tender and affectionate, but cruel and bloody. Although he did not know the specific conquest process, he could guess how much resistance would be faced in building this fortress, from the resistance from the plane will and the indigenous people. The area around the fortress was named the Blood Wasteland.
According to the map, the most common creatures in the blood wasteland around the fortress are various undead creatures. The most numerous are not skeleton zombies, but a kind of undead creature called broken ghosts.
This is because most of the bodies of the dead in the war were burned, leaving only the torn souls. After a long time, the power of death gathered, and gradually a large number of ghosts were born.
These ghosts will follow their thoughts before death and constantly attack the fortress, or wander around the fortress. Anyone who leaves the fortress will be attacked by a large number of ghosts.
Considering that he still has a long time to stay here, Lin Xiao has not decided where to explore, and decided to take a walk around the fortress to see the situation.
However, when he just packed up and went out, his powerful spiritual sense felt that someone was staring at him from behind.
"So urgent?"
As expected, it was the son of the spirit realm.
While walking and thinking, he unknowingly came to a crossroads full of totem apprentices from various schools. There were squares at the four corners of the intersection, and there were people everywhere.
Obviously, this is a place where totem apprentices from many nearby schools gather.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up and quickly changed his original plan. He did not leave the city, but mixed here first and dived into the crowd.
The tracking behind him continued. After all, in the eyes of the adventers like them, the hostile adventers were as conspicuous as a beacon, and they could be easily distinguished from the indigenous group as long as they were not too far away.
There are many shops and stalls on the square at this intersection. It is a huge flea market, which is very lively.
Since I have no intention of going out, I will stroll around the square slowly and take a look at the various materials obtained from this plane sold by these totem master apprentices.
Most of the materials are organs with strange abilities or effects on some monsters, such as hearts, eyes, horns, blood and other organs that contain power. A small amount is other organs, or some plants and minerals that contain magical powers.
Basically, all valuable things in the extraordinary world are included in these categories. The specific value depends on its function and the energy it contains. Most of the things that
can be sold here are of average value. The truly high-value things can generally be seen and sold to the shops opened by various major schools for a good price.
It is difficult to find a bargain here.
But it is not to say that there is no bargain at all, but it is quite difficult. Generally, those who cannot see the value clearly will find professionals to identify it, and rarely let people find a bargain.
With a curious mind, I strolled slowly, not anxious or impatient. The stalker behind me was a little speechless. After a long time, I knew that he did not want to go out, so I relaxed a little.
At this moment, Lin Xiao unknowingly came to a certain section of the street. Suddenly, he sensed a familiar breath and looked up abruptly. He saw a very star-studded woman sitting in a small stall opposite. She was wearing a green scarf and had a teardrop mole on her forehead. She also looked up. He showed joy in his eyes and quickly walked up to the woman's stall and whispered:
"Sister, I'm being followed."
The woman's beautiful phoenix eyes glanced behind him and said:
"Don't worry, the three parties have an agreement. They dare not do anything to you in the fortress."
"But nothing is absolute. Try not to go to remote places. If you feel danger, you can go to the gathering point to find someone for help."
"Gathering point? Where is it?"
The woman looked up in surprise:
"Are you a newcomer? No, didn't the old people in your school tell you about this?"
Lin Xiao stretched out his hands and said:
"There are no old people in my school, only me."
She was very surprised. At this moment, her eyes fell on the white tower emblem on his body. She stroked his forehead and said:
"You actually ran to the white tower. That is the territory of the Spirit Realm. No one reminded you when you came to the main continent?"
He said speechlessly:
"I didn't know it was the spiritual territory. No one reminded me when I came."
"Okay!"
The woman didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I guess you don't know the situation here, and you don't know where the gathering point is. Come with me, I'll take you there."
As she said that, she put all the things on the stall into a box that looked like a treasure chest, picked up the box and left. He quickly followed.
As he walked, he chatted with the woman, calling her sister very obediently, and inquired about the situation of the human arrivals in the fortress. Seeing this, the stalker behind him hesitated for a moment and stopped following. The
things he asked did not involve privacy, and the woman told him everything without hiding anything.
