After returning to the Academy of Magic, Link naturally arranged for Love to be in Verora's Magic Tower.

When he and Ellet entered the magic academy, it was difficult, they had to pay sky-high tuition, and they were rejected because of their lack of magical talent, but now it is good, with Link, a level 4 magician, to lead the way, the little girl Love got the opportunity to learn magic without much effort.

I have to say that on the road of pursuing magic, the little girl is a good life.

Link's days are back on track, learning magic, experimenting with magical tricks, and of course, refining his new wand.

With this new wand, Link used lightning strike basil wood, precious silver and adamantite gold, and was ready to fuse Dominic Crystal into it, anyway, he didn't keep the good things he had at hand, and vowed to build a powerful battle wand for himself.

While Link was focusing on making his new wand, Anthony and the Parliament's magicians at the Academy had completed their magical confinement of Bell, and he was scheduled to be sent to the Tower of Azula.

On this day, Bell was stuffed into a sealed carriage and escorted by four mid-level magicians with a level 3 or higher as he drove all the way to the prison in the northwest corner of the valley.

This is the inside of the Academy, under the real-time monitoring of the Academy's Magic Eye, and no one dares to make trouble here, so the four magicians escorting the prisoner car are all relaxed.

The four of them chatted as they walked, and the topic of conversation had nothing to do with Bell. They were merely carrying out the orders of the council, and did not know the specific identity of the prisoners in the carriage.

About five minutes later, the carriage drove along the trail around the mountain, all the way up the mountainside, where there was a vacant lot of thousands of square meters, and in the center of the open space was a simple white tower.

This tower is not high, just three floors, about ten meters, from the outside it looks like an ordinary watchtower, inconspicuous, but here is imprisoned for hundreds of years, all kinds of evil creatures captured by the Donggu School of Magic, there are evil magicians, there are terrifying demon creatures, and it is said that there are demons!

When the carriage arrived, the door on the first floor opened, and out came a masked white cloaked magician, who said in a deep voice, "Help the prisoner down." ”

This magician is the guardian of the Tower of Azura, the strength is very strong, the magic level is as high as level 5 peak level, the four intermediate magicians dare not come out, open the prison car, and drag out Bell, who is wrapped in a black robe and has a hood on his head.

Bell didn't say a word, and his body was limp, almost a corpse.

He knew that he would spend endless hours in this cage, tasting countless loneliness, and that the so-called masters of the council were cowards who did not dare to bear the notoriety and do not dare to do it to him personally, so they tortured him with this kind of torture.

But what can he do? Having lost his magic and noble status, he is half-lichified and inferior to an ordinary old man, so he can only wait for death.

"Alas~~~" He was so sad that he had nothing in his mind, numb, indifferent, and passively waiting for the torture of the years.

Just in the moment of despair, Bell suddenly felt his hand being squeezed tightly by the escort magician beside him, this time the power was a little unusual, as if there was some hint.

"Well, what's going on?" Bell was stunned.

Immediately after, Bell felt like he had something stuffed in his hand, hard, about the size of his thumb, somewhat like a pebble, and then, with that hand, clenched his hand into a fist, with the obvious meaning that he should hold it.

Bell was puzzled, he didn't know who would help him, and he subconsciously clenched the hard lump in his hand.

After getting out of the prison cart, the white-robed magician took out his wand and pointed at Bell, who levitated and slowly floated behind him into the Tower of Azura.

After entering the tower, Bell felt movement behind him, and he knew that the tower door was closed, and from then on, he would be completely cut off from the outside world.

Because of the failure of the Lich's transformation ritual, he was blind and couldn't see anything, and vaguely felt as if he had been going all the way down, into the ground.

After a full five or six minutes, Bell heard the magician's voice again: "Master, this is your room. The walls around the room are equipped with imprisoning magic circles, so don't touch them if you don't want to get hurt. ”

The sound fell, and Bell felt his body sink, and then a slight cool touch came from his back, and he was placed on the ground, and then, he heard the sound of distant footsteps, which rang for less than three seconds, and then suddenly disappeared, and fell into absolute silence around him.

"The room is completely sealed." Bell let out a long sigh, and at this time, he still clutched the strange stone, but for the sake of caution, Bell waited for more than an hour before taking out the stone and stroking it with his fingers.

The touch of this stone is not cold at all, but warm, and there are many lines on the surface, which should be magic runes, and Bell groped along these rune imprints.

His body was much more numb than before, and his fingers were not very sensitive, and he groped for more than an hour for these lines before he came to a conclusion: "This is the Transmission Rune Stone!" ”

The magic energy in his body has been imprisoned, so he can't use the slightest bit of magic energy, but this rune stone can be triggered even by ordinary people, so he naturally has no problem.

After fumbling for a while to determine where the trigger rune was, Bell began to use his fingers to erase the inhibition runes in the rune world, and at the moment when the rune disappeared, there was a very faint fluctuation from the rune stone, and then, Bell found that a voice sounded in his head.

"Is it Master Bell?"

"It's me! Who are you? Bell replied in his mind.

The voice didn't answer his question, and said to itself, "So, do you want to be free, and regain the power of magic?" ”

These words directly hit Bell's soft underbelly, and he didn't care to ask the identity of the other party, and immediately said, "Can you help me?" ”

"Am I wasting my time right now?" There was a hint of a smile in his voice.

"But I don't have any magical powers. Anthony and 5 magic masters teamed up to perform the Imprisonment Technique, and no one in the entire Norton Kingdom could break it. And without magical power, what's the point of me being free? ”

"Who says it can't be broken? Who said I was a magician in the kingdom of Norton? As long as you believe me, then anything is possible. The voice became a little muffled, with a deadly demagoguery.

Bell was silent, he was thinking about it, but then he found that he was now in the worst-case scenario, death was better than this, and any change would only evolve for the better, so what was he worried about?

"What should I do?" Bell asked very shyly.

"You first do this, this, this"

The voice whispered in Bell's mind, Bell listened to it, his heart became more and more frightened, and when the other party finished speaking, he subconsciously shook his head: "No, no, this will ruin the entire academy!" ”

"Oh? Do you really care about this academy that imprisons you and deprives you of your magical powers? The voice asked rhetorically.

"I" Bell was speechless, yes, he is now a disgrace to the Academy, what does the destruction of this Academy have to do with him, even if the Academy is razed to the ground, all the magicians in the Academy are dead, it has nothing to do with him.

"Let it go, Bell, put aside morality, friendship, law, all these hypocrisies are bondage, now, work for your freedom. Now you are truly free! "The voice becomes high-pitched and passionate.

Bell was silent for a long time, and finally, he spoke, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"I'm the messenger of darkness, hehehehe." The voice gradually lowered, and then Bell felt a shock in his hand, the rune stone had turned into powder.

In the dark silence of the cage, Bell still lay motionless on the ground, no one knowing what he was thinking

In the woods outside the Donggu School of Magic, a black-robed magician was hiding in a dense bush, and there was a very vague black shadow standing beside him, and in front of him was a magic circle, the magic circle emitted a faint light, and in the middle of the magic circle was a bright rune stone, which shot a faint light towards the sky.

After about half an hour, the light of the rune stone dimmed, and then the stone shattered into dust, and the magic array also stopped running.

The dim shadow on the side immediately complained: "Philippia, don't let me do this next time, sneak into the Donggu Academy of Magic, this is the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life!" ”

"Hey, but it worked, didn't it?" This magician is none other than the Dark Elf genius who had fought with Link.

"Is it too early to say success? Who knows if the old immortal ideas of the council work? Who knows if that idiot in the tower will actually do it? ”

"Don't worry, my friend, the Speaker is a level 8 magician, and even Anthony is no match for him. Now that the seed has been planted, we just have to wait for it to sprout. ”

"I hope so."

Almost at the same time, Link, who had been staying in the Magic Tower, received a letter from Ark, which he could tell was written by Ark's own hand, the handwriting was crooked like a chicken's claw, and it contained a message from Knight Anderson that they had not accepted the prisoner cart from Daris.

Link was stunned and immediately asked Verora about it.

Verora had already received the news, and her face was a little heavy: "Daris's is indeed missing, the academy has sent someone to investigate it two days ago, and there must be a result soon." ”

"How did I not know?" Link had a headache, and he had a hunch that the dark elves had done it.

"You've been building wands, and I didn't bother you. Don't be in a hurry, just be patient and wait for the results. Verora reassured.

Link can only wait, he is not a god, he can't do everything by himself, he still has to learn magic, and there is really not enough time to try to become stronger.

'I hope that in this life, the tide of darkness will come a little later, a little later'

All Link can do now is study magic harder and harder!
