The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 123: I entered the tower (1)

There it is standing straight reaching the sky.

What I found is a tower. There were no buildings in this realm, at least not in the path I took and I covered most of the Inner and Core regions. The outer region was mapped long ago by the students who enter the realm every year. There was almost nothing to map in the outer region.

No buildings were found even in the Inner areas that some students were lucky to explore. This was one of the things about this realm that baffled the scholars across the kingdom.

Other secret realms have buildings even in the outer regions. Of course, not all buildings were intact when they were discovered but traces of their existence were found but not in this realm.

I believe this Tower might be the only building in this realm.

Whatever secrets the realm has, I believe this tower would give the answers.

"The Tower of Trials"

Hmm, what was that supposed to mean?

Would the tower test the entrants?

Wait, that's not what I should concentrate on. When I saw the tower and arrived at the entrance, I saw that there were letters carved on the entrance. It was a language unknown to me, so I didn't know what they were saying but now I can understand them. How?

Is there an auto-translate function that was added to this tower?

No, the words didn't change but I understood them as if they were written in the common language. This is what they speak in the kingdom and it is called Common Language, as it is the most spoken language in many human kingdoms and empires.

Even other races can understand this much better than other languages. So these races when they interact with humans use the common language as most humans don't understand those foreign race languages.

I don't know whether that is a member of the family or did an outsider found a way to enter and place that.

The list doesn't end with this. Those elders tried to assassinate me but failed. I am surprised that they didn't make any moves after that, especially after what happened at the city gate more than a year ago, which involved my cousin and Dorian.

They are probably afraid to do such a thing when I am at the academy. So the third year would probably be the best time for them to strike me. So I need to get rid of those bastards and that has to be done in a perfect way.

There are many things to do and if I miss out on that, it would be quite problematic.

It's time to see what secrets it has and stop thinking about it. It is just a waste of time.

"Inari, Asya, return to the pet space. I don't know whether we would be together or the tower would treat us as separate contestants and put us in a different space", I said to them.

I read many novels where even two people who are a team would assessed differently. I don't know whether they can survive whatever trials await or not.

Those two understood my concerns and entered the pet space without question.

Now I can enter the tower and see what I can gain from it.

Hmm, it looks pretty basic.

The surroundings are white in color, just as the assessment rooms described in some of the stories that I read.

"Okay, I am here. What's the test?" I shouted out loudly hoping that the assessment would start quickly so that I could leave quickly.
