After a long and arduous journey filled with challenges, Wei Dong and God Tone finally arrived at the majestic gates of The Tower of Trial. Their breathing was rapid, sweat-drenched, as if they had just emerged from a battle with their own limits. God Tone was particularly exhausted, his entire body drained, his face contorted in pain as he whispered: "Oh... I'm telling you, I'm done for!"
Wei Dong, although similarly exhausted, still maintained a hint of toughness, struggling to support his body and gritting his teeth to say: "Gah! Really? My knees are about to give out! What's the point of messing around this far away?" His tone conveyed both discontent with their grueling journey and confusion over the location of this facility.
In "The Two Brothers," they may have grown accustomed to a relaxed life in Noxus, but this arduous journey clearly took a toll on them. Especially before an important Summoner team practice, this trip undoubtedly added to their mental and physical burdens. However, it is precisely such challenges that silently sharpen them, making them more aware of the responsibilities and weight that come with being a Summoner.
Standing in front of the Tower of Trial, despite their exhaustion, the two still had an indomitable light in their eyes. For them, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as they can shoulder the mission of defending Noxus, every sacrifice is worth it. At this moment, they were even more determined to enter the tower, participate in team practice, and prepare for the upcoming battle.
As Wei Dong pushed open the heavy door of The Tower of Trial with all his might, a mixture of magical potions and ancient books immediately filled the air. Inside the tower, the mages were still busy at their respective positions, holding wands in their hands, with radiant magic orbs floating in front of them, or burying their heads in thick magical books. The whole scene was filled with mystery and intrigue, making one involuntarily curious about everything happening here.
Wei Dong stood at the door, taking a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing. His gaze wandered among the busy mages, filled with awe and envy. Watching these mages effortlessly control magic while standing or sitting, Wei Dong couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I wonder if I can learn something like levitation. Damn, walking like this is exhausting."
This sentence, although a casual complaint, also reveals Wei Dong's desire for magic and his helplessness in reality. In a world where power and magic are revered, mastering one or even multiple magical skills undoubtedly provides a great advantage for every Summoner.
However, Wei Dong also understands that learning magic is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially for them and their fellow brothers from Earth. It is almost impossible for them to master magic in a short period of time. At this moment, he can only temporarily bury his longing for magic in his heart and instead focus on the team practice in front of him, preparing for the upcoming Summon War.
God Tone followed Wei Dong into the Tower of Trial. As soon as they entered, he was struck by the sight of the seemingly endless spiral staircase that twisted upward. He stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and his expression was a mix of disbelief and disgust. Looking at the stairs that seemed to lead to an infinite height, he muttered discontentedly, "Damn! Can't they at least install an elevator or something? This is insane! Walking like this all day, my... my... my knees are going to give out!"
God Tone's voice was filled with complaints, but there was also a hint of helpless humor. His words made Wei Dong turn his head and glance at his brother, a smile and understanding reflected in his eyes. The Two Brothers, though from different worlds, couldn't help but feel that their modern notions of convenience were completely out of place in such an ancient and serious magical environment.
At this moment, the words of God Tone were not just complaints about physical exhaustion, but rather a lighthearted mockery of some ill-conceived designs in this new world. Behind this complaint was the gradual adaptation and acceptance of The Two Brothers to this new world. Even in the face of difficulties and inconveniences, they were prepared to confront the upcoming challenges with the most positive attitude. The hardships and difficulties along the way would become part of their shared experiences, deepening their understanding and brotherly bond.
As The Two Brothers struggled to climb the spiral staircase, each step felt like a test of their physical limits. Suddenly, they noticed a figure above them, also stumbling upward. God Tone keenly recognized the person and couldn't help but shout, "Hey! Yolo! You can't climb the stairs either?" His voice echoed in the empty stairwell, filled with a tone of jest and surprise.
Yolo seemed to be startled by the call of God Tone, and involuntarily shuddered before turning around. When he saw that it was indeed God Tone and Wei Dong below, a slight smile appeared on his face as he responded somewhat awkwardly and helplessly, "Yes... yes, I have very poor physical strength." His voice was slightly shy, as if he was somewhat self-deprecating about his lack of physical fitness.
This little episode made the originally difficult climb a bit more interesting. Upon hearing Yolo's response, God Tone couldn't help but laugh, and even the corners of Wei Dong's mouth unconsciously lifted. Yolo's response not only eased the hardship of the climb, but also invisibly brought them closer together. In this challenging and unknown world, having companions to face difficulties with, even if it's just a small physical test, makes it all seem less arduous.
Later, the three of them encouraged each other and continued to climb the endless stairs together.
