Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Croft looked at him: "I thought you broke in by yourself."

Julian said coldly, "Arabella brought me here, and he told me the story of the portrait."

Noah waved his hand: "Wait, can I ask who Arabella Anderson is first? A great magician?"

Julian: "He was a great magician before I left the White Tower."

"He still is." Croft said: "You know, he has no talent, and maintaining the realm of a great magician is already his limit."

Julian looked at him angrily: “You can’t say that about him, he is my friend.”

Arabella is a great magician who lives in the white tower. His position is very awkward, with the oppression of the magister and the great magister above him, and the middle-level magician who is driven by him below.Julian was often with Arabella when he was a child, and Croft was very busy. Whether it was his own research and cultivation, or managing the White Tower, dealing with diplomatic affairs, etc., he didn't have that much time to accompany Julian.The one who replaced Croft was Arabella, a great magician who looked funny and cute, spoke humorously and acted considerately.

Julian once felt that Arabella was the only living person in this icy white tower. He would not insult those stupid low-level magicians, treat them as tools or even experimental products, and would not bury himself in weird and boring experiments forever , not forever with a stiff and pale face and a thousand miles away, he often told Julian stories, told him that magic should not be like this, and took Julian on many adventures, including coming to this basement .

For Julian at the time, Arabella was his only friend.

"Okay, okay." Noah walked over and hugged Julian's shoulders. He noticed the slight trembling of Julian's body.Julian had told him many times that he hated this brother, but Noah felt that there were other emotions in his anger.

Is it just different ideas and running away from home that make Julian feel so hated and angry at the only relative?

"If Arabella also knows this place, then he is suspected." Noah asked, "Where is Arabella at this time?"

"He has left the Tower," said Croft.

Julian narrowed his eyes slightly: "You didn't kill him, did you?"

Croft's face darkened: "Although I don't like him, I will not attack people in the White Tower. If he makes a mistake, punishing him is the business of the White Tower."

The White Tower of Commandments is a place dedicated to arresting, judging, disposing of, and imprisoning magicians who violate the rules.

The atmosphere between these two brothers is really weird, Evlia thought, they are like magnets that repel each other, but they are closely connected. She asked: "Where did the great magician leave the White Tower? What is he exactly?" When did you leave?"

Croft thought for a while and said, "Just a few days before the staff was stolen..."

Noah: "Isn't it a coincidence?"

Although Julian had objections, he was held down by Noah.

Croft thought carefully for a moment. He didn't think about Arabella before. He firmly believed that the great magician didn't know the existence of statues and staffs. Now that he was connected with this aspect, he quickly skipped a few items For clues, he said decisively: "We can ask other magicians in the White Tower first."

He was obviously an activist. He opened the mechanism to send everyone out of here, and then issued an order. The message was passed from top to bottom to the entire White Tower, and he quickly received replies from all the White Tower members.

They do not know the whereabouts of Arabella.

"To some extent, the efficiency of the White Tower is really high." Noah said.

Evelia nodded silently. That's right, this place values ​​efficiency. Although there are some magicians who fish in troubled waters in other white towers, the White Tower that belongs to Croft still maintains the old-school style, efficient and efficient. Keep improving.

"Thank you for your comments, but we have not obtained useful information from other magicians."

Noah pondered for a while, then turned around and asked, "Julian, do you have a solution?"

Julian looked hesitant.

"If he is innocent, we can clear our suspicions about him." Noah said, "You think about it?"

It was difficult for Julian to refuse Noah, and he said: "I do have a way." He glanced at Croft and said, "I need Arabella's usual items."

As a great magician, Arabella has an independent laboratory in the White Tower.The laboratory has always been kept private, and no one can enter without permission, except the tower owner.

Croft was very cooperative and took them to Arabella's laboratory. No matter what the rules are, since Noah and the others are invited to solve the problem, he will provide them with [-]% convenience.Noah still didn't know the source of Julian's resentment, but he felt very comfortable with Croft, who did everything with a snap and no hesitation.

It's hard to imagine that such a person would be a stubborn old-school magician.

Arabella's laboratory is no different from other magicians, crowded and messy, Julian looked around and subconsciously said to Noah: "There are a lot of space magic research here..."

"Is there a problem?" Noah asked.Space magic is the top jewel in the magic world, and any magician wants to win this crown.

Julian observed the magic circuit and some formulas on the table, and said, "He has studied it very deeply..."

He should have been happy for Arabella, but the other party's familiarity with space magic made him a little uneasy.

Croft picked up the magic top hat that was casually thrown on the table, and said, "This is Arabella's clothing. The most commonly used items for magicians are the staff and his magic robe."

Julian took the magic top hat in his hand, and then used the existing materials in the laboratory to concoct a bottle of magic potion. He took out a wooden stick, stained the top of the stick with the potion, and drew a magic circle on the ground.

His movements are very skilled and smooth, and even have a taste of pleasing to the eye.Croft looked at him and said, "Julian is... different now."

"Your Excellency, do you regret it?" Noah asked.

"He left the White Tower when he was very young, and I didn't even have time to teach him some magic." Croft said softly: "At that time, I thought he would come back soon."

Noah: "I heard that he had a dispute with you before he left, and you even had a fight."

Croft shook his head: "That's just a joke... He hates me, and I didn't take good care of him."

Noah thinks about it too. Julian, who has not yet grown up, is obviously not Croft's opponent. It should be Julian's unilateral emotional catharsis, just like now.

But... Noah thought of how painful Julian, who had fallen into illusion, looked so painful on that ship, what kind of mood he left the White Tower, and what he experienced afterwards.Obviously, all of this is not as easy as Croft said. In Croft's eyes, this is just a small fight of his younger brother.

At this moment, the drawing of the magic circle was completed, and a light flickered.Julian threw Arabella's hat into the magic circle, and then motioned for everyone to stand together and enter the magic circle.

"A teleportation array." Noah said with emotion: "You can already do this."

"This is just a simple directional teleportation array, which can only lead us to the owner of the hat." Although Julian's mouth was modest, there was still a hint of showing off in the corner of his eyes: "You played games with little dragon cubs in the abyss of dragons At that time, I was not idle."

"It's really impressive," Croft said.

Julian snorted twice: "It's not what you taught."

Evelia patted him on the back: "You're going to float without the levitation technique,"

Julian tapped the ground, and soon, a white light flashed before their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, they appeared in a small room.

Evelia was the first to discover the corpse on the ground.

She walked over and looked at the corpse with a frown. The body was slightly wider, and the face was already a little blurred. He had a strange smell on his body. He was lying naked on the ground, most of the skin showed signs of burns.

Evelia turned her head slowly and asked, "This can't just happen to be Arabella..."

Croft was a little dazed for a moment, and then his face became serious.Julian looked at the corpse hesitantly in the distance. He walked over slowly, turned his head and took a few deep breaths before squatting down and looking at the corpse carefully with Evelia.

"How could it be..." Julian tried hard to recall the face in his memory, how could the great magician who always smiled and told some jokes and played with him turned into a corpse.

Who killed him?

The murderer who stole the staff, or...?

Noah also saw the corpses on the ground, but the first thing he noticed was the space they were in, which was very damp and dark, with only a trace of light leaking overhead.He looked around, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this place was very familiar.Noah thought carefully, he must have never been here, so where did this sense of familiarity come from?

As he was thinking, he heard arguing from over there.

"Julian, he doesn't have to be Arabella."

"How do you want to determine his identity?"

"It's very simple. We can extract his remaining soul and prove who died."

"Croft, don't go too far! Soul extraction is a forbidden magic, and he's already dead! You can't insult him like that!"

Noah turned his head, Julian stopped in front of Croft, Croft looked at him helplessly, and Evelia stood between the two of them, looked around, and then said: "Julian, you first calm down."

She could see that Julian had been affected by his emotions.

Noah walked over and glanced down at the corpse, but he didn't pay attention to the corpse, but stood in front of the corpse and took another step forward - he was almost close to where the corpse was , then turned around and looked around the entire space.

Julian and the others looked at him suspiciously. After a while, Noah said, "Julian, the dead person is indeed not Arabella."

The author has something to say: With Julian, Noah has become aggressive.
