Chapter 53: The Mage's Tower

"Bell! bell!"

Outside the large iron gate at 153 Vanilla Street, Arrin slapped the knocker.

"No one?"

Seeing that Arrin had no patience to knock on the door for a while, but no one responded, Joyce wondered if something had happened.

"There were still people the night before. ”

In the face of Joyce's gaze, Arrin showed the care that he had personally confirmed.

Joyce stepped back some distance at the gate, looking up at the Mage Tower, and for no reason thought it was a little dark.

"Knock again. ”

Pretending not to find anything, Joyce didn't seem to want to give up easily.

"Bang! bang!"

Arrin glanced around, but no one paid attention, so he kicked the door with his foot instead, and the voice suddenly became much louder.

Joyce, with his eyes covered, was already trying to peer inside the walls and the mage tower.

In the northeast corner of the big bluestone courtyard wall, the surrounding maple leaves are corroded, not only smoking, but also fine purple-black foam.

"Isn't it?"

When Joyce found that the lid of the coffin in the northeast corner of the courtyard wall had been broken, the bad premonition was even stronger.

"Wouldn't it be too much of an exaggeration to ask Arrin to go back and call for reinforcements? That's the first thing that comes to Joyce's mind.

Just because no one opened the door doesn't mean there's something wrong with the Mage Tower, and it's in the presence of two operatives.

"Yarlin, isn't the Mage Tower too large, and the first year's lease fee is a bit expensive. Joyce seemed to think it over for a moment, and consulted with Yarlin.

"Even if the herb shop can't use such a big place, it's always good to have it, and when our foundation becomes more and more solid in the future, it will definitely be another scene. Yarlin thinks long-term.

"Let the coachman go first. ”

Joyce gave Arrin a vague glance and whispered.

A man like Arrlin, who was active in camping, was not slow to react, but soon understood what Joyce meant, and sent the coachman away on the pretext that his friend was not at home and had to wait.

Because the Mage Tower occupies a large area, this place is not located in the downtown area of Xiangyao Street, and the surrounding area is relatively secluded, and there are no shops connected to it.

"Go to the back door. ”

Seeing that there were no sharp objects at the main entrance and the fence to guard against the little guys, Joyce calmly said to Arling.

"When you go in, take a look. ”

Arrin looked admiring, quite agreeing with Joyce's idea.

Going around to a maple forest at the back door, facing the two-and-a-half-meter wall, Joyce hesitated and looked at the gift box in his hand.

"This back door is not high, and there is a place where you can step on it, go on. Arrin said anxiously to Joyce.

"There are fragile things in the gift box, you go up and pick them up first, don't shake violently. Joyce motioned for Arrin to go first.

"Bang!"

Arrin stepped back a little, his figure faintly emitting a white rhyme, and he kicked the ground with his feet, and then stepped on the door lock bar and jumped up again.

Seeing Arrin fluttering through the door, Joyce thought of the cornices and walls.

"Bring it. ”

Arrin leaned in through the back door and motioned for Joyce to hand him the box.

"This new dress is going to be finished again!"

Joyce was a little clumsier than Arlin, and the door was completely climbing.

This wasn't the first time Joyce had seen Arlin's abilities, but he hadn't asked, guessing it was something like wind, maybe a gale?

Although Joyce opened the tight collar of his shirt, it was still inconvenient for him to climb the back door of the suit, which he regarded as a tunic suit.

Entering the big bluestone courtyard wall, the scene you see has a sense of dilapidation, the fallen maple leaves have a certain thickness, and the relationship between the rain some time ago even faintly smells of decay.

"Doesn't this mage tower have a servant?"

Joyce took the box back and looked out at the vast courtyard with a hint of puzzlement.

It was only then that Arrin reacted, and while observing the vast courtyard, there was a slight suspicion on his face, as if he also felt that something was unreasonable.

The courtyard where the Mage Tower is located is cold and gloomy, I don't know if it's because of the dampness under the leaves.

In addition to the Mage's Tower, Joyce and Arrin see a dry fountain in the courtyard, as well as a boiler room.

"Wow!"

A gust of wind blew, and some rotten leaves in the courtyard were blown onto the mage's tower and the windowsill below, making Joyce feel even more chilled.

The tall and stout maple tree, with its strange posture, attracted Joyce's attention.

"Arrin, this is where you looked?"

Joyce whispered, with obvious skepticism and vigilance.

"I came the night before yesterday and didn't look too closely. Arrin also realized that something was wrong, and he found a bulge in the northeast corner of the courtyard that had been cracked.

Joyce unbuttoned his tight collar, removed the Saterra from his shoulder holster, and followed Arlin's gaze toward the northeast corner of the courtyard.

"Joyce!"

Alertly following Yarlin, who was approaching the raised dirt bag, saw the damp fallen leaves around him being corroded, and hurriedly reminded Joyce.

"Something can't be breaking out of the ground, right?"

Joyce pointed the gun at the bulging dirt bag, guiding Arlin's train of thought.

"Retreat. ”

Arrin made a backward gesture, his face full of suspicion and fear.

"Do you know the master here? I heard you say that he died, how did he die?" The view in the courtyard was quite wide, and Joyce, who had retreated to the back door, looked more at the mage tower.

"It seems to have died of illness. ”

Yarlin wasn't sure, and his expression faltered.

"Mage Tower, does the medicinal herb business have an affair with the alchemy sequence or mysteries? Joyce looked at Arlin, both reminding and asking for his opinion.

"The broken dirt bag to the Mage Tower, there are traces of corrosion all the way, and from the situation of corrosion, it should not have happened too long, probably after I arrived the night before. There was a struggle in Yarlin's eyes.

"Is it a corpse?"

Joyce was also unable to see the inside of the Mage Tower through the ability of his eyes at this time, and what he found was generally noticed by Arrlin.

Because Joyce couldn't see what was going on in the Mage Tower, he was actually surprised.

"It could also be that the mystical properties are out of control. ”

Arrin shook his head and gave Joyce a reply.

"I'm afraid the two of us won't work, let's call reinforcements, preferably Cliff, bring heavy firepower and demon hunting bullets. Instead of being reckless, Joyce proposed.

"Let's go out first, Cliff is also resting today, and I'll go back to his office to gather weapons under the pretext of continuing to investigate the case of the disappearance of the street girl. Arrin nodded.

As she walked through the back door, Joyce looked out into the courtyard above the back door.

In the vast courtyard covered with rotten leaves, there are actually some stone plates underneath the rotten leaves, on which are engraved with magical symbols.

These simple magic symbols, containing strange powers, are not guarded by the magic tower, but by the tall and stout maple tree in the courtyard.

"It doesn't have anything to do with the Church of the Goddess of Life, does it?"

Joyce remembered the maple grove of the Goddess of Life Church in Moya, and the quaint and intricate magical symbols in the church square.

"I'm watching here, you hurry up. ”

Out of a maple grove behind the Mage's Tower, Joyce had already dressed and walked around the main entrance.

Although he wanted to see through the mage tower was blocked, Joyce could still see and perceive the scene and situation in the courtyard.

I don't know if it's because of the strangeness of the mage tower and the courtyard, or if he sees the benefits, Yarlin didn't slack off, and quickly ran into the street in the distance to call a carriage.

"What's going on, I didn't sleep all night, and I brought all my net worth to rent the Mage Tower, if the gift box is accidentally destroyed, there is no place to cry. Joyce pressed down on her black-brimmed flat hat, and was somewhat uncomfortable standing outside the door.

If it weren't for worrying about what would happen to the Mage Tower, Joyce would have wanted to take a walk around Vanilla Street and see if he could find a suitable herb shop.

In fact, Joyce muttered helplessly, but he was not sure how to calculate this matter, and he didn't know if there would be danger when he mobilized heavy firepower to break into here, and what movement was made with great fanfare, and the follow-up impact was also a little uncontrollable.

"How to explain it to the other side, if the master here has an affair with the Church of the Goddess of Life, it may be a hidden danger, I took out the seed in Elena's heart, which has already alarmed the deacon Bennett. Joyce sat down on a stone staircase not far from the main entrance of the wall, pretending to be a resting passerby.

Aside from being able to rely on MIA, Joyce didn't think he had any money to save his life, even though he already had a secret aura and was initially aware of his abilities.

As for the special eyes, Joyce thinks it's also a little trick, and it's really useless to really fight with people.

At this time, Joyce couldn't see through this mage tower, and he tried to calm down his mind and estimated him, and he had some guesses.

"There is a strange power in that mage tower, which is certain to block my perspective, but on the other hand, maybe it is also because of my own lack of ability, and also, what the mage tower blocks should be the ability of my right eye to see through, and the ability to watch in the dark in my left eye, even the Church of the Goddess of Life can see it, this mage tower will not be stronger than the power of the Church of the Goddess of Life. Joyce yawned at the thought of this.

Last night, Joyce consumed a lot of mental energy in the process of removing the seeds in Elena's heart, and he was in a very poor state after not sleeping all night.

If it weren't for sitting outside where he was not normal, Joyce would have dozed off.

"I can't put things at home, and it's not a way to get such a gift box to carry around, especially green liquid and broken seeds, which can't be carried around for a long time, and you have to get rid of it as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Joyce couldn't sit still and got up from the stone steps.

Joyce worries that if the matter of the Mage Tower has a fallout, the green liquid and broken seeds in the gift box he is carrying will not be clear.

"Where to hide?"

Joyce, who no longer stared at the Mage Tower and the big bluestone courtyard, walked towards the maple leaf forest not too far away.
