19 Exploring the Ancient Magus Tower Part 1 (2/2)

Then, I collapse into the floor, mentally exhausted by the battle that just happens.

”This battle sure sapped my strength by a lot.” I complained as the 'Assistance Drone Robot' seems to have finished solving the riddle on the round table.

As the last rotation was done, A strange white light begin to appear from inside of the carve above the table.

Then, stair after stairs suddenly emerges from the wall of the room, rotating the room and ascending above until there were around 50 or so stairs.

After the last stair appear, a big hole open in the end way of the stair and light started to appear from inside the hall above.

”Second floor huh? From the height of the room, there should approximately around 4 floors in the tower with the entrance that I got in to be the second floor.” I comprehendingly calculate the height of the room and the tower itself.

”Then this stair should lead to the third floor. Weird, why the path below didn't appear?” I begin to grow suspicious but then cast that aside as the answer should be located above.

After pondering for a moment and didn't find the answer, I decided to explore the third floor and above first before going back to this floor.

The robots then begin to take the lead in front and start ascending the stairs. The stair had a hollow part to the next stair and doesn't have a banister for safety, making ascending the stair very dangerous if there were any trap that spring out from the wall.

As the robot got to the later of the stair, suddenly a part of the wall got out and push the robot out of the stair, falling to the floor below. Fortunately, the robot didn't get damaged in the least but if it were instead a human that got pushed out, the fall could cause fatal injuries.

”Hmm… What a classical trap, I should test if throwing an object will activate it.” Then I throw a small item to above the stair where the trap was placed, strangely the trap wasn't working.

The trap seems to appear every time something that moves like a human passed it and retracted after three seconds slowly. So, I ordered one robot to be a meat shield as tricking it with a small object wasn't working. The robot will use the electromagnetic shield to minimized the damage and let the others jump when the trap was out to pass it.

'I should rush out that part after it was out' I thought as I prepared to rush when it was my turn.

Then, as the trap got out and pushed the shielded robot, All the robots behind including me rushed and jump over the trap and get to the next floor.

What was waiting for me on the next floor was some kind of an experiment room with all kinds of documents and books piling up on the side. There was also a lot of miscellaneous items at the center of the room.

”This must have been where all of the knowledge and information are stored. Good good good, getting all of this alone is already more than enough for the venture I just had!” My eyes were filled in excitement for the books of an Ancient Magus might have in here.

After calming down a little, I begin to scan the documents and the books placed at the side first. I realized that the documents were a record of an experiment about something that I don't understand since I wasn't a Magus, and also a lot of it was written in Magic Language.

As for the books, it was written in an Ancient Language that wasn't used in this era and again a lot of it was written in Magic Language that Magus could only understand, though that was only if Vonix didn't translate it.

”Vonix, could you gather the ancient language database from the book and translate them?” I begin to rummage the book to find the one that seems interesting.

[”Positive, deciphering a human language is too easy. Begin Deciphering the Ancient Language…. Ancient Language Deciphered…”] Vonix replied with a slight insulted tone in it while still monotone.

As Vonix was busy controlling the 'Assistance Drone Robot' and deciphering the language, I found a book that had some kind of a vague golem drawing on top of it. The book was made by an unknown material as it had a funny texture.

”Vonix, translate this!” I ordered as I was interested in the content of the book.

[”Affirmative”]

Just then, a word that was written in the book got blurred from my vision before changing into the Common Language that I know. As I read it, I unknowingly compress the book with my fingers,

”Basic Golem Structure Manual? Holy shit, this must be a book about how to make a golem! I have struck it rich!” My eyes shone in excitement, as I begin reading the book.

'No wonder the golem was so strong despite lacking technology. Unfortunately though, to make a golem one must be able to control mana and at the very least a 5th Rank Magus Apprentice to be a golem pupil.'

In this world, there is all kind of magic profession: Alchemist, Golem Master, Enchanter, Botany Master, and much more. The stage before a master is a pupil that Magus Apprentice could usually attain.

”I swear… that I will learn magic and become stronger in this world! Only by having power could I control my own fate and not be controlled by others.” I swear to myself full of determination in my heart as I reminiscence to what happen to the original Wyne and his family.
