Chapter 43: Tower Spirit
"Feeling stubborn today, aren’t we? Not bad, Matthew. You’ve grown up. You don’t really think I need you to press the button to speed up the elevator, do you? I’m the greatest tower spirit in history. Who am I? King of the Crucible House! If you continue to be so impertinent, I’ll personally help you speed up!”
"I’m ready.” Matthew pulled the elevator handrail.
The voice of the tower genie instantly became evil and ghostly.
"Are you really ready?
"Hehehe, Matthew, I’m going to speed up now…”
Matthew closed his eyes and tightened his grip on the armrest.
"Don’t be afraid. I’ll be very gentle, Matthew.” The tower spirit was still threatening.
Matthew suddenly opened his eyes.
"Are you finally afraid, Matthew?” The tower spirit was proud.
Matthew let go and looked at the elevator panel.
“We’ve arrived at the top floor.”
1ne uoor openeu.
Matthew stepped out.
The top floor of the Crucible House was a large open space.
Above his head was the boundless starry sky.
In the open space.
A golem that was more than three meters tall, made entirely of clay, and wearing an exaggerated suit walked toward Matthew.
It didn’t look angry because of the failure of the prank.
Instead, it greeted Matthew with a humble tone,
‘ Good morning, Matthew. Welcome to the Crucible House. Your humble servant, Tower Spirit 177, is at your service.”
However, Matthew did not dare to put on airs in front of him.
One had to know that the construct in front of him had a bad personality, craved a mate, and was extremely lonely. It was also at level 23!
It was said that it was the only legendary golem in the known city-state territory of the human kingdom.
Matthew’s strongest bone dragon was no match for its punch.
"Dear Mr. 177.”
Matthew went straight to the point.
"I want to find and borrow books from two different categories.”
“Keywords.” 177, who had entered his work mode, said concisely.
” The first keyword is psionic power. I’m looking for books and information related to charging psionic items.”
Matthew quickly said,
"The second keyword is the Su country. Secondary keywords may include ‘Emperor’,’ Great Wall ‘and’ Jade Phoenix’. ” 177 ‘pondered’ for 3 seconds after listening.
Then he replied,
‘ Pure psionic research books are very rare, but there are still some books related to charging psionic items. I’m not talented, but I happen to have some Imowledge in the field of psionic abilities. If you can be more specific, I might be able to answer your question directly. That way, you can save a book loan fee.”
Matthew looked at it suspiciously. “Will there be an additional consultation
He couldn’t help but be careful. In The Crucible House, borrowing books was much cheaper than consulting!
"You worry too much, Matthew.”
177 calmly said,
"There was originally a consultation fee, but it has been offset by the problem brought by the second keyword.
Regrettably, the information related to the ‘Su Nation’ is classified as a Level 11 Secret. In the entire Seven Saint Alliance, only the Four Guardians and the other three Heavenly Mages are qualified to view them. If you really want to know more about this, the suggestion here is to kill Ronan, that old man, and replace him as the Guardian of the South. That way, you can do whatever you want.”
Matthew didn’t find this particularly strange.
There must be a reason why the Su Country was rarely known on this continent.
The Seven Saint Alliance definitely had their own considerations when it came to blocking this news.
With his current strength, there was indeed no need to rush to gather information in this area.
He sighed.
"So you cancelled my consultation fee out of pity?”
177 said seriouslv,
"No, I’m angry.
"Who am I? The greatest Tower Spirit in history!
"King of the Crucible House!
"I worked hard for Ronan without sleep and rest. In the end, when I went to look up information related to ‘Su Country’ just now, I was actually denied access!
"How dare the old men of the Alliance refuse the Crucible House-well, those secondary keywords you mentioned earlier were pretty good, it’s mine now-refuse the request of the Crucible House’s Emperor!?
"Of course, I want to take revenge on him.
"Not only will the consultation fee be waived, but you’ll follow me down later and take whatever you like. Don’t worry. I’ll support you in everything. I hope that Ronan will die in the Astral World, and I, Tower Spirit 177, will become the Guardian of the South and enjoy the beauties of the world!” Matthew fell silent after hearing 177’s bold words.
‘How did Ronan train the Tower Spirits? Why are you praying for his downfall…’
He muttered in his heart, then hurriedly changed the topic and explained the origin of the Cough Staff.
177 said decisively,
” That’s simple. The grade of such psionic items is not high, and the charging method is easy. The first method is to find an existence with psionic power to act as your energy source. Then, you’ll go on a stroll around the Abyss. Some demons have psionic energy, but they may not know how to use psionic power. However, their power is enough for you to charge common psionic items.
"Here, I recommend the Succubus. At least one-third of the Succubus have a source of Psionic Energy in their bodies, but they almost never use it. They only know how to be in heat all day long. Considering that their physique is sturdy and durable, you can use them for many different things. At the same time, they are also a cost-effective choice. Do you want me to show you some examples?” The rock golem grinned wickedly at Matthew.
Matthew rubbed his temples.
"What about the second method?”
‘ Hold your staff and imagine that you’re coughing,” said 177.
Matthew was stunned.
“Is it that simple?!”
177 nodded,
“Of course, it’s simple. This method is very inefficient. You need to be mentally prepared.”
Matthew silently noted down the two methods and bowed to the tower spirit to thank it before bidding farewell..
