Chapter 170: The Black Tower
The snow has not gone away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Flitton found a new room in the corner of the inn that was still intact, and he quickly cleaned it up, making it almost difficult for Phil to see the difference between this room and the previous one.
Phil didn't check if there was anything valuable in those people, this is because although half of this realm is the realm of the Black Rope Tower Academy, but the other half is still the territory of the Senluo Bone Fort Academy, this situation has caused chaos in this land, it is not like other places in the control of the Black Rope Tower Academy, here, the wizards of other colleges are also very likely to be mixed in, Phil is a little worried that there will be some hidden tracking witchcraft on those things, It wouldn't be nice to be chased by the other party's wizard on the tail.
As it is now, destroying it all is the best option.
Of course, if there is a college tower nearby, that's another story.
The next day, the wind and snow disappeared.
Phil got up, Freeton had already prepared for Phil's departure, General Rommel had already ridden away last night, and did not continue to plead with Phil, or to come to some kind of scene of kneeling outside the door in the snowstorm and begging all night, hoping that last night's scene would make him realize what kind of role the mystic group plays in the world of ordinary people.
Phil thinks this kind of thing is normal, in the red clay realm, there are often wizard apprentices on the opposite side sneaking in to assassinate, which is also a long-term mission here, and basically the apprentices who stay here will receive such a task. Sooner or later, Rommel would meet more mysteries, and it would be better not to go up to the ground for help when the time comes.
In the evening, the Red Clay City.
Located in the most noble boundary in the east of the Red Earth City, in addition to the City Lord's Mansion, there is a black tower, the black tower is very deserted, occasionally one or two mysterious characters will enter and exit, because there are too few people, even the street at the main gate will look very deserted and gloomy. Ordinary people are afraid to approach here.
An inferior ball bounced twice on the snow and rolled down to the side of the Black Tower Gate.
A little boy of four or five years old ran two steps from outside the alley, looking at the deserted street, a little afraid to pick up the ball.
"Loaches! Go pick it up! Why not! ”
"Pick up the ball loach!"
"You kicked out the loach, go pick up the ball!"
……
The little boy looked back at them, "I don't dare to ......" in a voice so weak that he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Coward loach!"
"Never play with you again!"
……
The little boy took another step, but he was already trembling with fear, and looked like he was almost crying.
Nervous and very frightened, he didn't notice that his partner behind him suddenly didn't make a sound at all.
At this moment, a luxurious and beautiful carriage passed by him, kicked up a snowflake, and finally stopped in front of the gate of the Black Tower.
A middle-aged groom jumped out of the carriage, and then a man in a white robe stepped down with the inferior leather ball at his feet.
Glancing at the ball at his feet, the man looked at the little boy who was stunned on the street.
The little boy couldn't help but look at the man, the man had black hair, and the eyes hidden under the hair looked deep and terrifying.
"Woo......" The little boy took a step back and shed two lines of tears.
Phil withdrew his gaze, looked indifferent, and walked into the Black Tower.
Flitton, who was following behind, looked at Phil's back, he saw the ball at his feet early in the morning, smiled at the little boy, and gently kicked the ball over, just in front of the little boy.
"Flitton, you go to the inn next to the Black Tower and book a room, you don't need to look for me tonight, and you will continue to leave tomorrow morning."
Phil's voice came from inside, and Freeton quickly saluted respectfully, got into the carriage and left.
The Black Tower is the location of the Black Rope Tower Academy in this city, and unlike other places that still need to be disguised with manors, most of the ordinary people in the Red Earth Realm know the existence of the Black Rope Tower Academy, and they also know how authoritative the Black Tower, which represents the academy's stationing outside. This is in peacetime, when the academy war is started, these places will become the academy's various logistics departments or interception points.
Phil walked in the door and entered a hall, some witchcraft lights in the hall had been turned on, the whole hall was visible under the yellow light, several service counters were directly opposite the door, next to the tavern of hospitality, a few tables sat some wizard apprentices who could not see their specific strength, saw Phil come in, he only glanced at it hurriedly, and continued to talk to his companions beside him, while eating wizard food that was only served in these places - Phil had already seen the familiar Moro people - Everyone was busy with their own business, and no one came to inquire about Phil's strength and identity.
Phil walked to the nearest counter, and behind the counter it looked like a middle-aged woman with a third-class apprentice, who had come out to work for the academy in search of opportunities after years of hopeless meditation. Don't think that they still have any hope, although they can't be seen on the outside, but in fact, the other party's age is very good enough to be Phil's grandmother.
"My lord, what do you need?" After seeing Phil's identity plate, the middle-aged woman asked respectfully.
Because they have different potentials and have a lot of inferior status, although they are at the same level, middle-aged women are still called honorific.
"I'm going to see if my buddy has ever passed through here."
"Who's your companion?"
"Thomas, Miranda, and Mars."
"Please wait a minute," the middle-aged woman checked the Blacktower's entry and exit records behind the counter, and said to Phil after a while, "Your companions, Thomas and Miranda, passed through Red Clay City four days ago, and there is no news about the rest. ”
"Oh, really?" Thomas and Miranda have almost arrived at the dungeon defense fortress, right? Phil thought.
"Also, Lord Phil, Lord Thomas has left a message for you in several nearby camps." The middle-aged woman took out a notebook and opened one of the pages, on which there was a flickering golden greatsword imprint.
Phil tapped the mark with his finger, and the mark immediately recognized it.
"Phil, meet at the fortress on the night of the full moon." Phil's voice immediately appeared in his mind, this is a trick of spiritual messages, which belongs to one of the public achievements of wizard research, you can leave a paragraph through the spiritual imprint, and only the designated person can unlock and hear it after setting the spiritual code, this is still because their mental power is too weak, and when their mental power is strong in the future, they can directly leave a message to the other party, not instantly, it will affect when the other party receives the message based on the size and distance of the mental power, and Phil received the carrier pigeon of Mars before, This is a relatively secure method of communication commonly used by wizards these days.
When the sound was heard, the original mark disappeared.
It's the beginning of the month, and there are still two weeks left until the full moon night, so Phil doesn't need to worry.
