"Alyssa, are you still investigating the truth?"

The voice from her side pulled Elisa's thoughts back from the past history, and she looked for the sound, her mentor was standing not far away, looking this way, the old withered face was extremely kind in Elisa's eyes.

"Yes, yes."

Alyssa smiled awkwardly at her teacher, she hadn't studied magic for a long time because she had read history books, and she thought that Teacher Frank would blame her, but the other party showed a satisfied smile.

"Diligence is a very precious quality, and if you want to accomplish as much as possible in a limited amount of time, you have to be diligent. But you don't have to worry too much, the truth is not so easy to find, the Witch Tower has been looking for six hundred years and has not caught a single clue, this is not something that can be done by personal strength, so ...... Just do what you can. ”

"I understand, teacher."

Seeing the teacher leave, Alyssa lowered her head again and looked at history.

At first, she only began to investigate the truth because of interest, but gradually, she found that the loss of the truth was not so simple, it was clear that the truth recorded in the book was kept by the witch tower, but it was lost for no reason, and the process of loss seemed to have been artificially erased and did not exist at all.

This is already very unreasonable.

But soon Alyssa discovers even more irrational facts.

That is, the upper level of the Witch Tower has not been opened for too long.

The Witch Tower, is the place where the people who seek the truth gather, and Alyssa can't tell where it is, every time she comes here, she comes through Teacher Mead's teleportation array, and when she looks down from the balcony on the outer edge of the Witch Tower, she can only see the churning sea of clouds.

It pierces through the sea of clouds like the Tower of Babel, becoming an isolated existence, and this height should have countless floors, but in fact, there are only 30 floors above the clouds, and it is said that the witch tower below the clouds has long been abandoned.

Alyssa is only allowed to move from the first to the twelfth floor, and it is not allowed to continue to go up, no matter who is the case, the thirteenth floor and above are called the upper floors, and the upper floors of the Witch Tower can only be entered by the will of the Witch Tower, and those who can enter are the most devout who have no selfish desires and are dedicated to the pursuit of truth.

And before the thing of truth is lost, it is preserved on the top floor of the Witch Tower.

But now more than 500 years have passed, nearly 600 years, and the gate from the twelfth floor to the thirteenth floor has not been opened again, which has never appeared in the history of the Wu Tower for thousands of years, according to the recorded history, it has not been opened for more than a hundred years.

"Let's talk to the teacher again." Alyssa frowned and put the book back on the shelf.

……

"Teacher."

"Is there something wrong? It's been a few days, and I see that you've been restless, is there something on your mind? Frank asked with concern: "If it is the matter of the empire, shouldn't you rest assured, His Majesty the King is still alive, and there are reliable courtiers to assist, and the empire that has been hit hard will slowly get better, do you have anything else on your mind besides the empire?" ”

After a period of time together, Frank became more and more fond of this intelligent and beautiful girl, at first Frank just wanted to leave a blood for the royal family and protect the damaged God's Key, but in the day and night, he found that Alyssa had outstanding magical talents and impeccable conduct.

So Frank took her in as a disciple and let her get in touch with the real world, but since the last time Alyssa left the Witch Tower, she was worried, and even her magic practice was a little slack, but she became interested in ethereal things like the truth.

If it's because of unreasonable desires, then as her teacher, it is necessary for me to guide her back on track, Frank thought to himself.

"Teacher, I think it's strange that the thing of truth has been lost."

Hearing this, Frank put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said earnestly: "Alyssa, it's right to know history, but you shouldn't be immersed in a vague record, the record of history is always incomplete, if you are too persistent, you will fall into the cycle of imagination, like falling into a labyrinth without an exit." ”

Alyssa knew that the other party had misunderstood her, and she was not imagining this vague history, but doubting it.

"Teacher, the upper floor of the Witch Tower has not been opened for six hundred years."

"Yes, yes."

Why did she ask this all of a sudden? Frank had a hint of doubt in his mind.

"Don't you think that's unreasonable? Six hundred years ago, the upper floor did not open for so long, I checked, even the longest is less than a hundred years, the book records that the upper floor of the Witch Tower only accepts the most pious people who have no desire and no desire, only pursue the truth, is it not in the past six hundred years, has there never been such a person? Alyssa asked, "Haven't you ever met such a person?" ”

Frank listened, and hesitated.

He seemed to be weighing the language.

"Well——, this...... It shouldn't be our concern, whether the door of the upper level can be opened or not, it is only determined by the will of the Wu Tower, although I think many of my colleagues are pure researchers with few desires, but maybe compared to the pious people of 600 years ago, it is still a little lacking. ”

"This ...... This is so unreasonable. Alyssa muttered, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her fork in her right hand, absentmindedly fiddling with the food on her plate.

"Alyssa, I think you should calm down, I think it's probably too much focus on history and tired your mind." Frank suggested.

Alyssa knew that she couldn't change the teacher's mind, so she had to nod, she was not a wayward girl, although she thought her opinion was correct, but she would not argue with the teacher at this time, not only did she not get a result, but it would make the teacher more worried.

"Teacher, apart from the fact that the upper floor of the Witch Tower opens the door by itself, is there a way for the people on the lower floor to open the door?"

Frank's withered face was squeezed out of deep wrinkles, which meant that his expression was already quite distorted, and his blue eyes stared at Elisa, and he said in an unprecedented solemn tone: "Alyssa, your ideas are dangerous, don't use actions to prove your completely unfounded guesses, that is extremely stupid." ”

When Alyssa heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and her pupils flashed with joy.

From the teacher's words, she heard that there was a way to open the door on the upper floor.

"Listen, from today onwards, for half a month, you are not allowed to go to the Witch Tower again, stay with me, and I will personally guide your magic." Frank ordered.

He rarely made such a tough decision on Alyssa, one reason was her noble status, the second reason was her well-behaved intelligence, and the second time it was the second time that she had forced orders like this, the first time was that Alyssa wanted to leave this place and go to the Empire before she recovered.

"I understand, follow the teacher's teachings." Alyssa behaves very submissively, and she will not disobey Frank, who is angry.

Seeing her like this, Frank nodded, calming down a little.

"Alright, let's continue with this delicious dinner, I'll teach you some more interesting magic later, I'm sure in half a month, you'll understand how naïve your thoughts are now."
