25 - into the tower

From Huang Huang's angle, he could only see a thin and short creature emerging from the shadows, the reason why he was a creature was because Huang Huang felt that he was more like a non-human creature from the shadows, and he was shorter than Huang Huang, but from his appearance, he could feel a trace of vicissitudes, and the wrinkled skin was matched with the pale face, feeling like a corpse crawling out, Huang Huang once thought that this was not a species captured by Archmage Cavill or that he had transformed the animals of the forest to be his servants.

The short thing stared at Huang Huang, and Huang Huang forgot to respond for a moment, but the thin man stepped out of the shadows and continued to repeat the question.

"Are you also a student sent by the Mage Guild?" He said word for word. When he completely came out of the shadows, wearing a black worsted squire uniform, looking clean and tidy, Huang Huang slightly changed the mind of the non-living thing, but the thin and short image that was different from ordinary people made Huang Huang still very puzzled, but from a human point of view, he should be an older old man.

Huang Huang found that he was looking at the old man impolitely, and immediately came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, yes, my name is Huang Huang", he showed the letter of introduction that he was clutching in his hand, and continued, "From the Southern Mage Academy, the principal introduced me, and of course, the Mage Association. Huang Huang felt like he was talking to a non-human creature, trying to explain his intentions, but only to realize that what he was saying was a little confused

"Got it, Huang Huang," said the old man. "It was introduced by the Mage Association, and the president of Southern College." The old servant took the letter, full of strange words, and did not open it, but smoothed out its crumpled corners and put it in his shirt.

After seeing the old man receive the letter of introduction, Huang Huang was relieved, for fear that the old servant would convey the words of the archmage and refuse to accept the letter of introduction and let him go home, but Huang Huang protected it for many days.

"The Mage Guild sent me to learn from the Archmage... Archmage Cavill... Lord Cavill... Archmage Cavill: "Huang Huang realized that the incomparable sentences he uttered seemed to have put one foot on his way back to his hometown. So wisely closed his mouth and looked at the old servant, eager that he understood.

"I'm sure they sent you," said the servant. "Yes, no one else would do that." He glanced at the seal on the letter, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of please.

"Oh thanks, but I, um first time, that I can follow you"

"My name is Bert, the butler of this mage tower, the head of the archmage," the old man turned around after speaking, and waved his hand to signal Huang Huang to follow.

Huang Huang picked up his backpack and strode to keep up with the old servant. He had thought that the servant was weak, but he did not expect to climb the stairs so quickly.

"You just said that I was also sent by the Mage Guild, and the others have already come here?" After entering the tower, Huang Huang asked

"Yes, they've been here," Bert responded

"Been here? And then they're gone? ”

"Yes" At this time, Huang Huang realized that he had fallen behind a lot, Bert had already turned the stairs above, and Huang Huang was still climbing the stairs in front of him, but fortunately, the tower was very quiet, and the sound was easy to convey

"This tower doesn't look like it's empty," Huang Huang continued

"Yes" Bert may not be willing to say more or has not communicated with anyone for a long time, and the answers are often simple and difficult for Huang Huang to satisfy, and for a while Huang Huang can't stop his intensive and frequent questions

"Usually it's just you and the archmage here?"

"And Mu Wei" Huang began to wonder if it was because of the taciturn nature of the servant that the archmage had hired him, and just as Huang Huang wanted to continue the question, Bert continued, "But she doesn't talk very often"

Huang Huang wanted to continue the communication, but soon he was attracted by the torch in the corridor, he stopped and looked at the flame of the torch, the green flame seemed to be frozen there, Huang Huang tried to feel the temperature of the flame with his hands, but he couldn't feel anything, Huang Huang felt magical but felt a little scared, remembered the green ghost fire that often appeared on the grave that his mother had talked about, and thought of how terrifying it would be if the whole tower was filled with this kind of flame, as if he had come to the inside of a tomb.

Bert didn't stop and continued to walk up, when he found Huang Huang standing in the corridor touching the flames with his hand, he coughed lightly, Huang Huang immediately retracted his curiosity when he heard it, and quickly followed

"Why use this torch? It's not fluorite or anything else" Huang Huang tried to ease the embarrassment of his small movements being discovered, but Bert's next words made Huang Huang even more embarrassed, "When you can stay, I will introduce you carefully one by one"

For a while, Huang Huang didn't know how to answer, so he could only silently follow Bert up the endless staircase, at present, his identity in this tower is still just a guest, maybe the archmage will send him back directly if he is unhappy, or this butler also has the right to do so.

Huang Huang followed Bert through one staircase after another, he began to wonder if the inside of this tower was higher than what he saw outside, the internal space was larger, his legs were already hurting from walking, the long journey and taking the stairs made Huang Huang have a trace of complaint in his heart, if the archmage let him go back at this time, I am afraid he would say this complaint in his heart on the spot.

Bert seemed to hear what Huang Huang was thinking, and said, "There is one more floor."

Huang Huang was relieved when he heard this, and soon he saw that the end of the last floor was a bunker-like top floor, and they had reached the spire at the highest point of this mage. The spire is small and contains a table covered in paper and a telescope that looks old. From the top they could see the outside very clearly, the sky had completely darkened during the time they had climbed, and the inside of the spire was gray, except for a lamp on the table, the flame in the lamp was the same as the flame of the torch elsewhere, but it was a little dimmer because of the lampshade. A number of small instruments were placed on the table, a round astrolabe pressed with a stack of paper to prevent them from being swept away by the wind, and in the upper right corner of the table was a model of a celestial body, with metal rods attached to spheres of various sizes to simulate the motion of the planets. In the upper left corner of the table was a crooked stack of notebooks, interspersed with various bookmarks. The telescope was on the side of the spire, and on the left and right sides of the telescope were a spherical map and a map of humanity, from which Huang Huang could clearly see the location of his academy. And the circular map was full of various button pins, and the buttons were connected by various threads, and Huang Huang couldn't understand it.

And an old man was standing not far from the telescope, it should be Archmage Cavill himself, Huang Huang thought there was nothing wrong.
