The carriage traveled unhurriedly along the course of the Neradis River, which is said to have flowed through the wilderness and was cut off by a sluice gate to resemble an inner city river as it entered the city, hundreds of years ago.

A small part of the wide river could be seen through the carriage window, but the street was too far to see with limited lighting. At this time, there was a faint fog on the surface of the river, and further away it was only pitch black.

"I'll hold your arm when I enter. Cecily said suddenly, sitting in the carriage.

"Oh, just holding your arm?" Thor smiled and turned back.

"And what more do you want? You're just an imposter suitor, okay? I've taken good care of your decency. Cecily rolled her eyes and spoke in a very brisk tone, obviously she was in a good mood at the moment.

"Does that mean that if you remove the word impostor, you will be treated better?" said Saul with a teaser .

"You're dreaming! We can't. Cecily looked down at the folds on her skirt and persuaded Thor to give up her illusions.

Seeing that this guy didn't seem to be in much interest in chatting before, Cecily took the initiative to speak. The point is that he actually turned a blind eye to his gorgeous costume, which made Cecily secretly a little discouraged, whether it was because his charm and temptation were not enough.

Cecily today wore a light brown off-the-shoulder bandeau pleated gown with dark gold floral trim and elaborate embroidery and pleated trim. The white skin looming under the short gauzy coat on the shoulders looks a little thin, but it is the late spring and summer weather, so it is not a big problem.

A V-shaped shape is pulled from the shoulders to the belly, but there is a delicate knot in the shape of horizontal wheat ears at the key part, which closes the skirt on both sides to the middle, which not only maintains the beauty of the girl's figure, but also brings a temptation that is half-concealed and half-revealed, and at the same time does not look debauched and rude.

Turning his head to look at the river outside the carriage window again, Thor silently listened to the subtle sound of running water for a while, and finally adjusted his mood to die resolutely. It's not a time to feel nostalgic, it's time to get back to the real thing.

"You are so beautiful today, no wonder I dreamed of angels one after another last night. Are the big guys going to the prom for a while? Thor turned his head to inquire about the specific news, and praised Cecily in passing.

Her dress, with her blonde hair and light makeup, was quite eye-catching, but unfortunately what Thor really thought was that if Chreidi's Night Elf wore it like this, it would probably be very fatal.

Her eyes lit up when she was praised, and Cecily instantly burst into good spirits, eager to get up and show off in the bumpy carriage.

With conversations along the way, the bumpy carriage finally reached the Holy Light Mage Tower.

When he arrived at the place, Thor tidied up his clothes and pushed open the carriage door and got out of the carriage first, and then very gentlemanly bent down slightly and stretched out his hand to wait aside. Cecily smiled gracefully and reached out from the car, her hand with a white glove of cutwork silk, and was helped down by Thor.

At this time, the surrounding people were already noisy and lively, and the arrival of Thor and the others did not attract much attention.

Countless beauties in makeup and gentlemen with crutches in their hands, as well as their respective servants, were gathering in the open space in front of the Mage's Tower. Some people were meeting to enter, and in the distance on the road, horse-drawn carriages could be seen coming back and forth.

After looking up, Thor realized that the Holy Light Mage Tower in front of him was not as slender as he imagined, in fact, it occupied a large area, and the bottom floor of the tower alone was estimated to be almost the size of the monastery.

According to Cecily Road, the Holy Light Mage Tower is one of the oldest monuments on the continent, dating back to the time of the Lich Scourge before the kingdom.

In later eras, it has almost always represented the pursuits and beliefs of successive mages, and with its own rich history, every year the council will have a skilled builder to maintain and expand the magic tower in a small area.

After the family's coachman went to set up the driver, Cecily took one of Thor's arms and joined the bustle, and began to enter the magic tower one after another from the main entrance of the tower.

It wasn't until he entered that Thor found that the flow of people had just gone directly to the tower staircase on the side of the tower and began to climb upward, while the main hall on the first floor of the magic tower was closed at this time.

"Floors 1 to 8 are the largest libraries in the main city, but they are not open to the public, and the other towers seem to be occupied by some scholarly mages for magical research. Seeing Thor's inquiring gaze, Cecily leaned in and whispered an explanation.

Thor nodded, suddenly vaguely sensing someone's gaze.

Each step of the ring tower staircase is wide, spiraling around the side of the tower and spreading upward, enough for several people to stand side by side. Thor quietly tilted his head, and saw two sneaky robed figures looking at the same staircase not far away.

Who else could it be under the hood that wasn't Lorna and Anne Baez, they were staring at ...... Oh, the arm that hooked himself and Cecily. Thor grinned at them, then deliberately walked forward with Cecily in his arms with a proud face.

These two little shiitake mushrooms, Thor had deliberately instructed them not to come today. After all, they came to smash the field, and if they were involved by themselves afterwards, they should have some trouble, but they still came.

The fourteenth floor is not too high, and it didn't take long.

"Whew~ I'm tired! Originally, there was a more convenient lifting device in the magic tower, but it was necessary to let the guests climb the stairs. Cecily gasped and grumbled, but her eyes glanced eagerly into the ball hall.

When I entered the ball venue, Saul found that it was far wider and more gorgeous than I imagined, and the dome that was not low did not compress the overall sense of space, with exquisite reliefs and icons on the dome, and many ornate crystal lamps hanging down slightly.

In addition to the bright and transparent crystal lamps in the lighting of the whole space, there are many delicate candlesticks that are reasonably distributed. The entire circular floor is surrounded by a carpet of dark red tones, while the central part of the dance floor is retained as a masonry floor.

However, the masonry is obviously made of the finest warm yellow pyroxene, which is polished and polished like a mirror, and its reflection can be faintly seen when you stand on it, and the ground is made of gorgeous masonry mosaics of different shades of stone.

This pattern is obviously intended to increase the fluidity of the dance steps, after all, dancing on the carpet is certainly not as comfortable as on a smooth ground.

As for the walls around this floor, warm colors of moire rock are also selected, which should be added to the original wall of the magic tower, and there is a small terrace that rises to the outside of the tower every other section, so that people can overlook the night view of the main city when they are breathable.

At intervals in the crowd, there are tower-shaped crystal cups filled with wine, which is convenient for guests to drink at any time. There are also several skilled chefs in the vicinity, who are preparing cooked food for customers.

The carpeted area features a myriad of small round tables for guests to sit around and mingle or watch the dance.

Thor raised his hand to cross a glass of wine from the crystal cup tower, and brought another glass to Cecily, who was dragged by Cecily and sat down at an empty round table next to her.

"How's it going?" Cecily sat down on the delicate high chair that Thor had taken her own initiative, and she suddenly noticed that although Buu looked a little more ordinary, he was still good in terms of aristocratic upbringing and gentlemanly demeanor.

"Are you asking me about the extravagance of the nobility, or how about my rotten life?" Thor picked up his glass and clinked glasses with Cecily, then made a joke.

"That...... I may not be able to accompany you anymore, my friends are arriving. Your own eyes shine, in addition to the big names you are interested in, there will be many wonderful girls at this kind of ball, and maybe you will have a wonderful encounter. ”

Cecily looked at Thor with an apologetic look in her eyes. This guy still has some advantages, but Cecily can't play any fake tricks with him, so if he wants to fight his own idea, he is doomed to fail.

However, although the two of them made an appointment in advance to use it, they were also companions all the way, and it seemed very rude to leave him alone at the table at this moment.

"It's okay, I told you don't have to worry about me, I'll rest here for a while. ”

"As for your friends who are curious about my origins, you can tell the truth or make up an improvisation, but if you want to make a fake show, then I can't agree. Thor waved his hand jokingly.

I am afraid that you will wake up laughing from your dreams! Glancing at Saul, Cecily got up and left her seat.

There was only one main entrance on the entire floor of this tower, and the guests present at this time were obviously only a part, and Thor was not in a hurry, sitting there alone and observing silently.

The current situation is like an hourglass that has been flipped and the countdown has begun, and the main thing he has to do next is to wait silently for the target to appear.

There are currently three prey on the beheading list in Thor's mind, and when they get together, it will be the time to make their own moves. As for whether you want to kill something more halfway, that's after the sword is drawn.

And Thor knows very well that once he launches, he is likely to only have one chance to make a move, and he will not have too long to play. Every ounce of time is precious, so be quick and decisive, and earn at least a few more lives before you die.

Time passed, and more and more guests arrived, until the main entrance closed, and Thor knew that the first stage had now been reached, and the ball had begun.

As the troubadours played, melodious music began to reverberate over the hall.

Thor had been watching, and had seen every target he wanted to see, but they were a little scattered at the moment, busy with their own entertainment and courtesies. Thor silently pondered in his mind, waiting for a favorable moment to kill.

Looking round and round, Thor didn't expect to find a few acquaintances.

Rona and Anne Baez, huddled at a small round table in the corner, didn't say anything, and in the crowd of people chatting and laughing, Thor even saw Faith Agrlington, the son of the former lord of Grey Veil.

He had solicited himself when he had left the monastery, but he had declined. I didn't expect him to run to the main city, but also, this is the biggest stage in the south after all.

What Saul didn't expect was that he would meet another acquaintance here.

"Excuse me, can I sit down here?" suddenly a woman asked softly.
