The headless giant on the ice field, its mobility comes from the necromantic magic circle on its body. The two originally thought that the magic circle came from a certain fellow sect or some other ancient ruins buried deep under the snow field. But now it comes from the gray tower.

Seen again in the root system of a plant in the hidden greenhouse.

This can no longer be described as a coincidence. Considering the physical distance between the two discovery sites, this may indicate that at a certain period, there were a considerable number of similar patterns in this land. In addition, the direct action with the giant

The source of magic that drives the corpse is different, and the pattern that appears on the skull this time has no traces of magic.

In other words, it is closer to a kind of decoration, so the question now is, who will like this kind of decoration? In other words, is this pattern carved on the skull, or is it carved on the head of a living person?

?The two have completely different properties. The former may be just bad, while the latter will point to a more complicated situation.

"It was carved while he was still alive. There are some obvious marks on the lines. It is estimated that it was re-opened after healing, and it ended up like this." No need for cheese identification, Cursed Crow can see that the skull has traces on it.

clues.

"Slave or fanatic?"

Cheese put forward the two most likely hypotheses. Some mages deliberately leave very conspicuous and terrifying marks on their servants or slaves. These marks may help them control those poor people, or they may just be for

No matter where they fled, they could not wash away this miserable past, and finally had to return to his hands because of their incomplete appearance.

As for fanatics, it's even simpler. For those people, self-mutilation seems to be a very popular way of worship. No matter how novel this method of self-mutilation is, they will not refuse it.

"It's possible that it's so decayed that even a master of necromancy wouldn't be able to make it speak." Cursed Crow said as he gently tapped the ancient skull with his hand, and the latter immediately fell several times.

There were a few pieces. From this point of view, it was not easy for the cheese to dig it out completely just now.

"Then don't think about it now. Get this big flower away."

More mysteries gave Cheese the motivation to leave the greenhouse as soon as possible. He slowly entered a unique state of excitement. This state may be a fear or headache for normal people, but for him, the challenge

It is the best entertainment.

The cursed crow nodded, pulled out a second knife, and stabbed directly into the root system of the huge plant. This time, the spell did not fail. Visible decay spread upwards along the roots, turning the green vines into lifeless black.

The branches blocking the road were quickly eliminated, but just when Cursed Crow was about to recover the first knife, he made another discovery. It turned out that the curse on the first knife did not work completely because it was not entirely related to the plant itself. Due to the rotten skin,

Only Curse Crow could see that there was actually a large metal plate inside the vine. It was precisely because the knife pierced the metal plate that the magic was compromised.

"There are skulls hidden in the roots and iron plates in the vines. It's great. This must be the most unique plant I have seen recently. If there were more of them, we wouldn't have to dig for gold in the mountains, because there are

I will produce it myself.”

The conjurer commented on the withered plants in his usual sarcastic tone. The moment he dug out the bones, he had no intention of letting them continue to survive. This involves a subtle magical concept, devouring.

Generally speaking, once a magical creature devours a creature with more command or complexity than itself, it is likely to undergo some kind of mutation. Allowing this to happen is a very dangerous indulgence.

"At least we can be sure that it is also a product of regression. In this case, the existence of the skull will only be older."

Cheese shrugged, and then took the lead on the road out of the greenhouse. They got some clues in this hidden room, which also added a little mystery. Overall, this is a good start, isn't it?

Compared with his fellow disciples who were immersed in the books in the library, Cheese felt that at least he was looking in the right direction. If solving the mystery about the Gray Tower was really a competition, then he would undoubtedly have a lead.

[An app that has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old book-chasing tool. It is used by all old bookworms.

"We are not archaeologists. The mythical age is far away from modern times, and its traces do not mean much to people walking in this world."

Cursed Crow kindly reminded Cheese that studying antiquities is a hobby of many spellcasters, but wise people will know that even the most valuable ancient things have their own reasons for being lost. Those that are truly the most applicable,

None of the things that bring the most convenience will be remembered and retained by people.

Blindly looking for things that never existed from the wreckage of the past will only lead to a worthless endless cycle.

"I know. But this matter is different. If the trace is related to the Gray Tower, it may be related to the teacher. Why did the teacher choose to build the Gray Tower here? Does he know anything about the legendary frozen land?

What’s the inside story? Aren’t you curious?”

"Curiosity does not mean speculation. Until more evidence supports the guess, I would rather remain silent." The more pragmatic magician closed the door to the greenhouse behind him. The cold air in the gray tower made the two of them feel uncomfortable in the warm environment.

People who stayed there for a while shuddered unconsciously.

"Then let's look for evidence. But before that, we should still go to the library, where things started. If this is an exam, there may be subsequent clues buried in each question itself.

"

Cheese looked up to the heights of the tower, where it was as quiet as ever.

"No problem. Speaking of which, I haven't actually read those books yet. Just following you around has completely forgotten the original purpose."

Of course Cursed Crow has no objection to this, and so much time has passed. Even if there are disputes in the library, it should be time to calm down.

The two quickly returned to the library, passed through the door, and saw their fellow students in different postures in the room.

They were sitting on the bookshelf, in the aisle, and on the table. They all held books they had never seen before, and they also had manuscripts for recording at hand, and they were making certain summaries as they read.

"You are here?"

The person waving carrot-like fingers was naturally Warnaby. He was sitting not far from the door. There were two blood servants in front of him carrying the book for him. It seemed that he was probably doing the job of turning the pages.

"Ah. How is the situation?"
