God of the Storm.

Years of time have not affected the tall and majestic tower, and even from a distance of more than a dozen kilometers, Rhaegar can still clearly see its towering spire, and the star-shaped gems set in the spire shimmer in the sunlight.

The protection of the body allowed Rhaegar to escape the disintegration of his soul for a while, but it did not really dispel the danger, and until he regained his belief in survival, any act of detachment from the body would continue the disintegration - fortunately, this situation did not last long, and when Rhaegar realized that the real murderer of his friend, the terrible black dragon, was still alive and well, he found his purpose again.

It is not an easy task to defeat an old dragon over five thousand years old, any dragon who can live to this age is the embodiment of strength and wisdom, and the weakest of them is enough to compete with a ninth-order archmage, unless Rhaegar can become stronger, it is just a dream. It is for this reason that, after years of wandering, the geist who is bent on avoiding Elsie finally decides to return to the god of the storm - the only place where he can receive further guidance. Finding more soul fragments may be more useful, but the prospect of finding a fragment in a vast world with the power of one person is undoubtedly too slim, as years of experience have amply demonstrated.

Rhaegar didn't use flying, and there was a magic field within a radius of fifteen kilometers around the god of storms, except for Carson, who was approved by the mage tower, even other tenth-order mages could not fly or use short-range teleportation here, striding along the mountain path leading to the mage tower, and the geist carefully avoided the traps in the path according to his memory and senses, and sent a notice to his teacher.

This kind of notice was actually just a courtesy, as the supreme leader of the Mage Tower and his own mentor, in the expectation of the geist, Carson would never be able to personally greet an apprentice, even if it was his only and favorite apprentice, so when he saw Carson's figure more than ten kilometers away from the Mage Tower, Rhaegar felt a little surprised.

"Get out of here now. Without waiting for the approaching Rhaegar to finish his salute, the old mage hurriedly said, "Go now, go as far as possible, and never come back." His tone was completely devoid of the majesty and calmness of the past, and more anxious and concerned, as if an elder was telling a child who had caused trouble to fly away immediately.

If it was another Rhaeggar, his first reaction at this time was likely to be confused and confused, but for the geist, after restabilizing his soul, rational thinking became his instinct, and he knew very well that Carson would never ask him to leave for no reason, unless something happened to the god of storms that threatened him beyond his control.

Without any hesitation, Rhaegar quickly turned and ran down the hill almost as soon as he heard Carson's words, his modified body was fully functional at this moment, and even a cheetah could not match his speed at this point.

However, he was still a step too late, and just as he was about to break out of the force field of the God of the Storm, Rhaegar found that a team of mages and their attendant warriors were already on the ground for his path.

"Mage Rhaegar," a mage wearing an eighth-order badge at the head said with a serious face, "Since you are suspected of violating the ban of the Mage Tower, according to the decision of the Deacon Council, we must arrest you, please come with us now." ”

The geist was well aware of the strength of the Mage Tower, and also knew what it meant to resist in front of a mage of his own level and seven or eight of the seventh order and above, so he wisely chose to cooperate with these mages, standing in place obediently, allowing them to put a pair of mana-imprisoning shackles on his hands and feet, and then escorted himself to a cell located on the bottom floor of the mage tower.

Like most mage organizations in this world, the Storm God doesn't belong to any country - in fact, the small nations around the Mage Tower are under its control - it has its own laws, and according to the rules, Rhaegar is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world without a trial, and even Carson is not allowed to visit, which makes it impossible for him to know why he is being treated this way. But he wasn't worried about this, the biggest negligence of those mages was to underestimate his strength, and still regarded him as a sixth-order little mage, and the shackles that imprisoned the magic power couldn't restrain him at all, and he could get out of the cell at any time as long as he wanted.

The thick walls and stone doors didn't stop Rhaegar from hearing the guards outside, though it seemed to them that the unenchanted prisoner he was guarding had no idea what was going on outside of the nearly completely sealed cell.

"What a daring fellow," one of the guards said to his companion in a commentative tone, "he dared to steal the Kalren Scepter, and even Carson wouldn't be able to save him this time." His words revealed irrepressible schadenfreude, "It's a pity that a mage with a good talent for magic can destroy himself just because of a moment of greed." ”

The guard, named Norns, had entered the Mage Tower with another Rhaegar who had only been an apprentice when he had already managed to become a third-order apprentice mage, and a second-order mage when the geist took over the body and became a full-fledged mage in one fell swoop.

"I don't understand," said the other guard, "why did he steal the scepter?" The guard named Hawken was also about the same time as Rhaegar had been in the Mage Tower, but contrary to Noons, the young man was clearly an admirer of Rhaegar "He is the youngest official mage in the Mage Tower, and the best of all the young men, and I wouldn't be surprised if Carson chose him as his heir, he had no reason to hide from Carson to use the Kalren Scepter." ”

"He's a greedy and self-righteous guy," Nornes made no secret of his jealousy of Rhaeggar, "If he hadn't been lucky enough to be chosen as an apprentice by Carson, he probably wouldn't even know what magic was by now, and to be honest, I'm not surprised that he would do such a thing..."

A sound of footsteps interrupted Hawken, who was enraged by his companion's words and was blushing and ready to retort, when he turned around and saw the face of the visitor, hurriedly and Nornes respectfully applied the etiquette of a junior mage to the other when he met his seniors.

"He's right in here?" Elsie looked at the door of the cell and asked the two guards, the past few years have not changed much for her, except that the badge on her chest has been changed to a sixth-order mage, the only change is that her face has a little more mature temperament, which makes her look more attractive.

"No one can escape from here!" replied Nornes with a loud voice, straightening his chest, "I will never let any prisoner leave his cell under my guard!"

Elsie nodded slightly, as if admiring the other party, but the next moment, a flash of light suddenly shot out of her hand, firmly entangled the two guards like a hunting spirit snake.

None of this could be hidden from Rhaeg, who was listening to the guards in the cell, and he was not surprised to see the door of the cell open and Elsie hurried in.

"Welcome," Rhaegar said softly to the mage, sitting cross-legged on the floor of her cell, "can I know what's going on?" ”

"It's a serious matter," said Elsie hurriedly, "but there's no time to explain it now, and you must hurry up and leave." ”

She walked quickly over to Rhaegar and waved her hands rapidly, two red lights striking the shackles that bound him.

"It's useless," Rhaegar shook his head slightly, looking at Els, who looked anxious because the spell was ineffective and ready to use more powerful magic, "Only an archmage can open these shackles without a key." He looked at Els, "You'd better get away before anyone comes, or I'll be left with me forever." ”

Elsie bit her lower lip and turned a deaf ear to Rhaegar's words, and she cast mysterious and obscure gestures, and all kinds of spells containing powerful magic appeared around the geist, all of which could easily destroy the entire cell with only one magical goal - the handcuffs and shackles that imprisoned Rhaegar's magical powers.

"Do you think they'll let you break in and save me easily?" Rhaegara's words finally interrupted Els' futile efforts, "No one would send two apprentice mages to guard a mage who is at least a sixth-order mage, even if the latter has temporarily lost his powers, and there is only one explanation for this: someone is deliberately waiting for someone else to save me." It's just that I believe that the person they are waiting for is not you, but someone else. ”

Being able to become the second youngest Sixth-Order Mage in the Storm God's nearly a hundred years was a testament to Els's wisdom, and when Rhaegar pointed out the suspicions to her, the female mage immediately realized the trap that existed, but she was not alarmed by this.

"It's a shame, it looks like I can't get you out. Elsie said calmly, completely unconcerned about the fate she was about to face. She crouched down and gently stroked Rhaeggar's face with her hand, "Don't worry," she said softly, "you won't be alone, no matter what the outcome is." ”

Although he knew that the other party's tenderness was not directed at him, but at another Rhaegar who no longer existed, a strange feeling still involuntarily rose in the heart of the geist, but the next moment, another equally beautiful face suddenly replaced Elsie and appeared in front of his eyes - it was Willy.

Perhaps because the part of the soul that is responsible for feelings, especially between men and women, has not yet returned, and as a crippled soul, Rhaegar is destined to be more ignorant than others in some ways. But that doesn't mean he doesn't react to everything, similar scenes activate something deep in the soul of the geist, the scene of Willy saying goodbye to herself in the black dragon's lair once again occupies Rhaeggar's mind, and only then did he realize how deep the traces of that stubborn female warrior left in his heart, it was a feeling completely different from that of Heim and others, he couldn't describe it in words, but he knew that even if this universe was completely destroyed, as long as his soul remained, this feeling would never disappear.

I am good at collecting and in a good mood.
