Mage? Spell Engineer!

Rorschach still kept the communication scroll with Kano, which was equivalent to memorizing his email address, and then got a letter of introduction as quickly as possible.

This trip changed from asking for leave to return home for personal reasons to an academic visit to the Tower of Secrets.

The guild staff specially spent two horses to take Rorschach out of Munik for half a day.

"Don't we have any other way to enter?" They went all the way up the mountain. Rorschach had been riding in a carriage for a long time recently and was not used to the bumps on the horse's back.

"Sorry Master Rorschach, this is your first time going to the Tower of Secrets. The portal over there will reject you, so we can only go through it this way."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, look, you can see it outside of this forest."

To Rorschach's surprise, the Tower of Secrets was located generously on the rolling mountains. The style of the building is classical, with dark tones from the spire to the base, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding green vegetation. It is on the top of a hill, with villages built along mountain streams at its feet.

This does not match the name. Rorschach couldn't help but said: "I thought the 'Tower of Secret Magic' would not be easily revealed to others."

"There is a large barrier, but the tower and the village below are only hidden during special periods, and the current state has been like this since I was a child."

"You're familiar with it?"

The staff member looked complicated on the horse: "I was born in the village at the foot of the mountain. I was fortunate enough to awaken my spellcasting ability and enter the Tower of Secrets to study."

But Rorschach glanced at him and saw that the other person was not wearing a mage robe or a badge. Feeling Rorschach's questioning gaze, he continued to explain: "But I graduated as an apprentice and chose to go to the guild to beg for food. There are many apprentices like this. I am here with you today so I can go home and take a look. .”

"That would be good too."

The Tower of Secrets is famous for its strictness in entering and exiting. When mages from the Tower of Secrets recall their apprenticeship experience, they will shed tears and tell others that the seven years of studying in the Tower of Secrets are the most unforgettable fifteen years in ten years of life. .

If someone asks if he/she is better than other mages after studying for so long, he/she will cry even harder: what he/she has learned is not magic, but the ideas and skills to understand and transform the world! Do you understand? Anyway, I don’t understand.

"Yeah, it's pretty good." The apprentice who gave up in the ninth year of seven years walked side by side with the young intermediate mage, feeling mixed in his heart.

There was a ravine between the end of the road and the Magic Tower, and they stepped onto the stone bridge.

"Emmanuel's Bridge, cross it and officially enter the realm of the Tower of Secrets. Master Rorschach, I'm leaving now. You can use the teleportation array to return directly to the guild on your way back." The staff member turned the horse's head and walked from He ran sideways towards his birthplace.

"Thank you." Rorschach always felt that he left a little too eagerly, almost running away.

Rorschach walked to the door and there was already someone waiting. The woman who greeted him wore a broad pointed hat, a fur cloak, and a tall staff. What a classic mage image! With the mountains of temperate continental climate and classical-style towers as the background, this scene that could be used as a CRPG startup interface made Rorschach feel moved.

Rorschach tightened the reins and dismounted. At this time, a big dog jumped out from behind the greeter's cloak, its wet nose pressed against Rorschach's trousers, and its tail wagged rapidly.

"My former student, I watched him grow up." At first, the lady's eyes were looking at the fork in the road leading to the village at the foot of the mountain. Maybe the apprentice who gave up halfway didn't want to see his teacher.

"Hello, I am Rorschach from the Tower of Stars." He introduced himself as he was visiting on behalf of the Tower of Stars.

"Tower of Secrets, Elisabeth Eugenie." Only then did Rorschach see her face clearly under the brim of her hat. She was beautiful, with a dignified and noble smile, but her eyes when examining Rorschach were particularly agile.

"Master Elizabeth. Where have I heard your name?" The combination of ladylike and girlish temperament reminded Rorschach of his teacher Caroline, and this name was very familiar. Not talking about the Miser's Daughter in the previous life novel, but I heard it from Bart at some point.

"It seems that you know something about the nobles of Byrne." The two of them walked towards the Tower of Secrets. The horse was led by the big dog to nowhere.

"You are the sister of Princess Sophie!" Rorschach remembered Bart's introduction to the royal family. In front of him was Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophie. Princess Sophie was forty-eight years old. In this way, Elizabeth Eugenie was over fifty years old, but she had many unique qualities. A face that is over thirty years old. I haven't met Princess Sophie yet, so I don't know.

"Yes, but I have nothing to do with the Wittelsbach family anymore. There is no princess here." Her voice was light and ethereal, and her whisper had the magic power to make people want to get closer to listen. The big gray dog ​​came back and surrounded them. Spin in circles happily.

In the center of the front hall is a tall golden throne, with a dragon-shaped sculpture sitting on it in a human posture, looking down at the visitors with majestic eyes. Its thick giant claws have merged with the ground, and its scales are iron-black and rust-like dark red from bottom to top.

"It is the guardian beast and the last red dragon in Bain."

"Is it a real dragon? Why don't you see the tail?" It's strange that the four-legged beast is sitting on the golden seat in a human-like posture. There shouldn't be a hollow at the back. Rorschach didn't see the tail.

"Legend has it that a long time ago, a magic experiment in the Tower of Secrets exploded through the earth, releasing the demons imprisoned underground. The archmage Castermo subdued the demons that broke through the seal, and ordered his pet red dragon to block the seal with its tail. gap.

"Later, with the continuous superposition of magic rituals, the red dragon's will has become the tower spirit, and the body has become a part of the entire tower. It can absorb the magic power in the earth from the earth's veins to supply the entire tower. The dragon is in the tower, and the tower is in the dragon. Also immortal.”

There's a hole in the seat, that's the golden toilet! Rorschach looked up with respect. Unexpectedly, the red dragon, which was already like a sculpture, spoke: "Rorschach, the son of the stars, wants to step into my guardianship. You need to answer three questions!"

Is there still a test?

Luo Xia was slightly nervous when she heard a majestic voice echoing in the front hall: "First, does this little boy have a partner? Second, how much is his annual income? Third, when can he be promoted to Archmage?"

"Ignore it, dragons are lustful, greedy and snobbish." Master Elizabeth walked directly inside.

I was so scared that I thought I had gone back in time to have New Year's Eve dinner with my seventh aunt and eighth aunt. "Can I beat this guy up?"

"Okay, then you can sit on it for it, and then become the new tower spirit and tower-suppressing beast. I don't know if there are real demons under the golden seat. You can give it a try. I'm personally quite curious." No, no, Sitting on the Golden Seat is also responsible for supplying the entire tower with magic power. It would be terrible to be sucked into a mummy.

After passing the front hall, the true face of the Tower of Secrets was revealed.

Each floor has a zigzag layout. Rorschach looked up but could not see the top. There were only magic lamps floating in the middle of the corridor. From the outside, it is obvious that there are not so many floors, and skyscrapers are nothing more than that. Apparently it expanded the interior space just like the Tower of Stars, but upwards.

"Ahhhhhhh--" Someone jumped from the hundredth floor, screaming throughout the tower. However, when his head was about to hit the ground, before Rorschach could take action, he was hit by two stone statues with bat wings. The ghost caught him and was dragged away like a dead dog.

After confirming that the apprentice's attempt failed, Elizabeth apologized to Rorschach: "I'm sorry, the apprentices are under a bit of pressure, which is a common thing in the tower. Well, Master Rorschach, why are you visiting the Tower of Secrets?"
