Chapter 28 (1/2)

The Tower Plane Fragment was as described earlier, a simple dungeon plane.

Entering this plane, Jiang Qiao saw a pure white tower reaching into the heavens, and this tower itself was floating in the sky, and there was only a small space in front of the tower reserved for people that came here to prepare themselves.

As Jiang Qiao stared at the tower thinking about which NPCs to place under it, an unfamiliar voice called him from behind.

“Young one, which country’s mage are you?”

Jiang Qiao turned over to see an old man in mage’s robes, with a team of mages dressed similarly behind him. The ones that were younger looked at Jiang Qiao warily, as if he was a potential enemy.

The system of Sacred Souls brought with itself a translation system, so it could translate every language of every plane on the star map.

After playing this game for a while, Jiang Qiao developed the habit of using an inspection spell on whoever he met.

The inspection spell was much more useful than an introduction, and Jiang Qiao naturally threw an inspection spell at the old man as soon as he saw him.

[Name: Purie]

[Level: 45]

[Class: Mage]

[Description: A native of this plane.]

“An NPC?” Jiang Qiao saw this short description, and he quickly knew where these people were from.

These people were described to be natives of the Tower Plane Fragment, but actually this plane fragment in itself was an extension of a complete plane. To the natives of that plane, this was something like a place to put themselves to the test.

These people were the natives of the complete plane, or NPCs in the eyes of Jiang Qiao.

“I’m just a wild mage.” Jiang Qiao made up an identity on the spot. If it was possible, he would want to get some news from these natives.

“Wild mage? From the way you dress, are you a mage from Darkflame Country?” The old mage ran his fingers through his beard as if he had already guessed it. “But the staff you have in your hand doesn’t look like something a wild mage would have…”

Sorry, his epic staff was looted from a monster, so it would be more accurate to call him…A barbarian?

Meaning he was a solo player with no party or guild.

“If you say so.” Jiang Qiao didn’t want to continue explaining to this old mage that seemed to be a know-it-all.

“Are you going to challenge the Tower of Trials by yourself?” The old mage asked again.

“Yep.”

Jiang Qiao had truly wanted to test out the contents of this dungeon, but when Jiang Qiao nodded, the younger mages behind the old mage laughed.

“Young one, the Tower of Trials isn’t as easy as you think it is. Even though you won’t truly die in this dungeon, you will suffer a heavy blow to your psyche!”

Ah…Sorry, the most that would happen was that he’d lose some EXP.

“I see.” Jiang Qiao nodded as if he were learning a lesson humbly. He needed this old mage to give him exposition on the tower, after all.

“With your ability, you would probably only be able to challenge the first level, but it would be exceedingly difficult to clear by yourself,” the mage continued advising Jiang Qiao.

“Then what if I cleared the first level?” Jiang Qiao asked innocently, acting like a newbie mage that didn’t know a bit about this place, and at this point the younger mages behind the old mage laughed even louder.

“Give up your way of thinking, child… I’ve seen a lot of geniuses who had tried to challenge the tower by themselves when they were young, only to get defeated horribly!”

“Mentor Purie, I don’t think we should waste any more time on this ignorant mage, no?” A young mage asked from behind the old mage.

Jiang Qiao threw another inspection spell at him.
