"Master Mead? Are you in a hurry? ”

A wizard looked at Frank and hurriedly walked by, and stepped forward to ask with concern.

"Did you see Alyssa?" Frank asked hurriedly, his tone irritating.

"Alyssa? I didn't see it, I recently heard that she has been practicing spells with you, isn't that true? ”

Frank's face was even more ugly, the skin like paper on the bones, because the muscles of his face were twisted as if they were about to crack, and even if he didn't say a word, others could feel the indescribable fierce anger.

Ignoring the young mage, Frank continued to walk to the upper floors, meeting many people along the way, but none of them found out about Elisa's whereabouts, he mobilized many people to start looking for Elisa, and he walked straight to the entrance to the upper level of the Witch Tower.

He had to stop Alyssa.

Originally, after half a month, in his opinion, Elisa's spirit had calmed down a lot, but just yesterday, she asked about the method of forcibly opening the upper floor of the Witch Tower, because Elisa's previous crazy thoughts seemed to have completely disappeared, so he told her the method of opening the upper door.

If you want to open the upper floor of the Witch Tower from the outside, you only need to run the magic circle engraved on the gate, the difficulty is not high, and if the upper floor of the Witch Tower is forcibly opened at the moment of the Witch Tower's survival, if the upper floor of the Witch Tower is disturbed for inconsequential reasons, the person who opens it will be severely punished - a long confinement of a hundred years.

This punishment is for all races, and for humanity, a hundred years is the end.

Now Frank only hopes that Alyssa will take a little longer to parse the circle, so that he will have a chance to stop it.

Teleporting up the teleportation array, he finally came to the entrance to the twelfth and thirteenth floors, which used to be empty, and the daily cleaning was also carried out by the golems, Frank passed through the slow-moving golems, and walked towards the gate with a quick pace.

"Alyssa!!" Before he could see it, he was already shouting.

At the gate, Alyssa was doing a precise calculation, and the magic circle in front of her was simple for a senior mage, but she had not been practicing magic for a long time, and if she wanted to successfully activate this completely unfamiliar magic circle, it was necessary to study the above spells a little.

She already knew the consequences of opening the door, and Alyssa knew that her status as a princess and the key of the gods in the Witch Tower would not give her any privileges, and if the situation was different from what she had imagined, she would be doomed to spend the rest of her life in confinement.

But for some reason, she studied many historical texts and had a strong premonition: the upper level of the Witch Tower was facing an unsolvable problem, and the fact that it had not been opened for six hundred years was not because there were no people suitable to enter, but because something had happened, and the people on the upper floors could not open the door from the inside.

"Okay, you should be able to use it proficiently."

Alyssa nodded as if to cheer herself up, her dexterous little finger gently curling the hair that blocked her vision, took a deep breath, and pressed her hand on the circle, she felt that she should already know how to use it.

At that moment, she heard Frank's call, and a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Gotta get fast! If you are stopped by the teacher, there will be no second chance!

While thinking so, she did not hesitate to inject her magic into the circle.

The magic quickly travels along the lines of the circle, infusing it with illumination, and Alyssa manipulates its magic to flow in a specific trajectory, allowing the circle to work as she wishes.

The circle was no ordinary circle, it had several layers inside and out, and Alyssa manipulated her magic to rotate one of them, and the compass-like lines on the circle quickly joined together, and gradually the faint ancient symbols became brighter.

The effect of this circle is more like a lock, no spells or special sacrifices are required, as long as enough mana fills it, and then, like a puzzle, follow the steps indicated above to activate the circle.

After all, this circle is not an exam, it is just a contingency plan, so naturally it can't be too complicated.

"Alyssa!! Stop me!! ”

Frank had already seen Elisa, he took out a crystal from his robe and threw it at Elisa, as long as the crystal shattered at the bottom, then the magic in a small area would be absorbed instantly, although only for a moment, but it was enough to interrupt Elisa's spell.

She couldn't watch her last disciple die in confinement because of this stupidity.

"Sorry teacher, I can't deny my conjecture! So I'm willing to bet on the freedom of the rest of my life. There was determination in Alyssa's beautiful eyes.

There's only one last step! Unlocking is almost complete!

At the same time, the crystal that touched the ground burst open, and Alyssa felt that the magic around her was taken away in an instant.

The last step should have been completed, but why hasn't the circle moved? Is the unlocking complete? It seems like...... Failed.

Frank stared at the circle, not daring to breathe, and seemed to have succeeded in preventing the circle from activating.

"Alyssa, you'......" Frank didn't continue, a hint of gratification in his tone.

Alyssa showed a disappointed expression: "Why didn't you untie it?" ”

"Alyssa, you shouldn't do it, do you know what the price of doing it is?"

"Teacher, I'm ready to sacrifice my freedom."

"No!" Frank's clenched fist thumped hard in the air, and for a man as calm and respectable as him, this action already showed his incomparably angry heart: "Alyssa, you don't understand how important you are to the Empire! Gambling on freedom for a vain delusion, are you a red-eyed poor ghost at the gambling table?! His hoarse voice sounded painful, and it ticked his mood.

Frank stared at Alyssa with those eyes that always glowed blue, the loving eyes of the elders, and now because of his actions, there was an additional pain in the teacher's eyes, and Alyssa felt ashamed and entangled because of it.

"Teacher ......"

Click!

Suddenly, there was a strange noise at the gate.

In an instant, Frank's face changed.

The circle lit up, slowly splitting through the crack in the door, and then the door opened extremely slowly.

"Oh my God." Frank frowned and shook his head, a look of despair on his face.

Alyssa looked at the slowly opening door, the original fluctuating mood calmed down, she was relieved, since this is the case, there is no need to worry about it anymore, it seems that God has already helped her choose the path.

"Alyssa." Frank slowly walked up to Alyssa's side and took Elisa's hand with his dry hand like firewood, and an ugly wry smile appeared on his withered old face: "You should get out of here." ”

"Teacher, I have to witness the results."

"Alyssa, leave now...... Before it's time, the crystal just now erases the traces of your magic power...... I'm already very old, and you're ...... Alyssa, you're still young. ”

Hearing this, Alyssa already knew what Frank wanted to do.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work!"
