A blue-silver signal popped out, directing the void into the girl's astral form. As the particles of impotent energy circulate and open up new mana channels, the crystal body reflected by her astral body became larger, taller, and more refined.

Alesia is now explained by her master, who studies her sister with an illusory projection of Kraft, on which Gwen is sweating from the girl's physical and mental exertion.

Like a griffin chick, Gwen is now weak and vulnerable. She and her master will have to keep Gwen a secret, hidden, disguised, and not let anyone else know about her talents, so that her talents will spread little by little. Above all, the tower cannot be suspected that its owner has chosen to temporarily confuse the girl's void element, as well as her connection to mythology.

Considering how much the border region is hungry for military might, Gwen's path will undoubtedly be a difficult one. There is a balance of action that she must accomplish, a narrow chasm between autonomy and the power that is used and abused. Considering Henry's wisdom and knowledge, Gwen was able to stand on her own feet in just a few years. Over time, she could go with Alesia and her master to a first-tier city for higher education. In addition, they had Gunther develop some beneficial nepotism. Of course, her master's eldest apprentices are responsible for taking care of his cute little sister.

"Juggling. Alicia recognized the mana signal.

"Yes. Henry agreed.

Gwen opened her eyes and felt her soaked top against her skin, her thighs smooth from sweat.

"I did it?" she found the mage and mage standing politely at a distance.

"You did!" her handicraft sister ran to Gwen and then hugged her with her body, ignoring the girls' flooding.

"Congratulations Gwen, you're a magician now!"

Her heart was pounding. Summoner of a magical creature!Headmaster Bartlett is a magician, and so is her master!Magic is one of the most versatile magic schools out there!

Alicia conjures up a towel and tells Gwen that as soon as they get back to the apartment, she can change her clothes and take a shower. The room began to darken, and the illusory projection faded away, leaving only a white patch.

"Let's go back to Sofina's room, there are many things we have to discuss," Henry chanted, patting Gwen's embarrassingly wet shoulder.

Their return was not hindered by the guards. Alicia maneuvers the elevator until it reaches its destination. The three of them then crossed the threshold of time and space and re-entered the emerald grotto.

Sofina realized, embraced Gwen and nudged the apprentice, her figure a mixture of floral and feminine beauty. "Your taste is better now. I can swallow your essence. ”

"That's because you're both a magician and a mythical vibe," Henry explained. "Both of these things are very attractive to Sofina. ”

"She eats essence?"

"All marmots loved it. Henry grinned. Despite this, Sofina has a preference for female mages, and she adopts her favorite form. Ignore her, she doesn't need your energy. Her grinding in the wilderness has made her live well. ”

The three of them began to arrange their seats from before. Then, Sofina brought another cake of Kim Mead and nectar.

Gwen hungrily shoved the cake into her mouth. For some reason, she was starving.

"Now that you have your second element, Gwen, I'm going to teach you about the Void Element and its details. You have to use it very, very carefully......"

Gwen gulped down half a glass of mead, feeling its warmth quench her hunger.

Henry spoke at length about the dangers of living beings transporting quasi-negative energy, and how this process can self-destruct without proper monitoring and training.

"Is there a way to exploit the void without self-harm?" Gwen asked disappointedly. It seems that her new element has a significant drawback.

"It's against the nature of life to do so," Hyung said in a reproachful tone. "I don't dare say what can be done, because that will lead you down the path of death cults and witchcraft. ”

Gwen shuddered, the names giving her creeps.

"Yes, we'll clear those," Alicia also warned her to focus on here.

Henry warned, "This will put you directly in opposition to the Frontier, the Magical Domination, and the Towers." "Even I wouldn't risk supporting an apprentice who practiced witchcraft and the dark arts. Think of this creed, Gwen, if you must use the power of the Void, then use it, for it is necessary, because good outweighs evil, and because the cost is worth it. This is the ultimate form of self-sacrifice. ”

Gwen nodded.

"Your Excellency, you told me. Henry smiled kindly, the weather-beaten wrinkles of his face crisscrossing like ancient cliffs. "Remorse for power must never be abandoned. ”

"I will abide by these words, master. ”

"Your words," the judge reiterated that maybe one day, all of our words. I look forward to your future actions. ”

The judge leaned back on his throne, exhausted.

"Master, you need to rest," Alicia took Gwen's hand and I will take care of her. ”

With that, Alicia said goodbye to her master. Gwen and Alesia watched as he retreated into the woods with Sofina's help.

Gwen ate the rest of the wheat field in a hurry. Was her master so weak, and how old was he?

"Let's take a break. "How about Alicia pat Gwen on the shoulder for a good dinner, my shout?"

To their surprise, there were two guards on the platform, who had accompanied them earlier. However, their attitude has nothing to do with any amiable attitude.

"Mr. Walken, Major, wants to talk to you and the young lady," one of them told her, sadistic schadenfreude on his face.

"Did he make an appointment?" Alexia asked sarcastically, mocking his words when they first met in the atrium earlier.

The man's face was a dangerous color.

"Thankfully, the judge took the time to see you. Don't waste his generosity. ”

Without Alexia's command, the platform began to move, drifting through the various rooms of the building, towards an unknown destination.

"Cadet, stop the podium at once," Alexia ordered, her voice as piercing as a raging flame. Gwen gave a slight alarm, noticing that the temperature around them was rising dramatically, enough to dry out her shirt.

"You can express your grievances to Judge Walken, Major. The cadets ignored Alicia's orders.

So these are the "factions" within the tower, Gwen observed, distressed by this unexpected shift. In addition to her, Alexia's anger had risen to a new state of mildness. Gwen sensed that she was about to recruit cadets for the infirmary's burn unit.

Gwen held her breath.

“!“

There was a flash of flame, and then a scarlet flame erupted from the console, burning the man's hands, but not touching the instrument. A hissing Caracal with fangs suddenly appeared on the platform.

"Major, you can't do this!"

"What's wrong with punishing a disobedient subordinate?"

"Disobedience to the judge's direct request is unacceptable!"

"It's a pity that you're not around, and you can't see it. Alicia bared her teeth at the offending man, then kicked the offending cadet out of the console and threw him to the ground.

A shape-hardened chest stamped!, Gwen stared. Ouch!

Now in control, Alicia orders the hovering platform to detour to the teleportation ring. To Gwen's dismay, the second guard had the audacity to attack from Alexia's back.

"Lightning G"

Before Gwen could cast the stun spell, the guard screamed and fell to his knees, a scarlet flame that ignited one of his ears, making it a bloody blur.

"Maybe your mage will be kind enough to give you a rebirth spell," Alesia chanted sharply. "Although I certainly wouldn't waste Tier 5 healing on worthless grunts. ”

"You dare to attack us with a spell!"

"Do you hear me cast a spell, bastard?" replied Alessia snapped. "That is the self-defense of my Flame Spirit, in response to your unwarranted hostility. ”

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!" Alexia jerked back, still driving the elevator toward her intended destination. "Do you want to try me? Who will mourn you?"

The guards fell silent. For the next minute, Gwen stood motionless like a statue as the guards groaned, one grabbing his groin and the other holding a fire pot against his injured face.

But the platform descends into the chamber of the teleportation circle, and Gwen can see that they are surrounded. Below, a dozen guards in bone-colored uniforms were waiting for them.

"Major Bolton, give it up! You can't tolerate attacking a junior officer for no reason!A sergeant pointed what appeared to be a wand at Gwen's sister.

Alicia pulled Gwen behind her, covering the girl with her scarlet face. The magical dimensions inside the tower ensure that it is nearly impossible to escape by force or magic, not to mention that she still has Gwen with her. The guards all have sonic suppression rods, which are magical technology items invented by the Americans that are capable of destroying spell casting. Alicia was immune to one, two, even five or six damn things, but there were a dozen around here? she didn't know what was going to happen. Sure, she could burn them all to ashes, but that would escalate the situation far beyond factional confrontation – it would be mass murder.

It was impossible to contact her owner. This will provide abominable proof that the ever-neutral tower owner is not so indifferent after all. As Kilroy's blunt object, she had to keep her distance in public.

So, what could it be?, Alexia pondered. If she can cripple at least half of them, she can force them to reactivate the teleportation circle.

"What's going on?"

A cacophony resounded throughout the room, reverberating through the twisted room like thunder. The confrontation between Alexia and the Guards made a temporary truce, leading to an uneasy truce in the face of a sudden invader.

"No way, the teleportation circle is locked!" one of the guards muttered in confusion.

"Shhhhhhh "The Paladin has the supremacy of the Tower Control Spirit. ”

A man came down from the platform. Gwen chose the word "descent" because it was the kind of solemn presence she felt. Where mortals walked, there was a man who towered in the air like a demigod.

The aura above the man's head illuminated the room, a glow like depicted in the painting of the Apostles and Angels, forcing Gwen to squint. The intruder had short, short coffee-bean-colored hair and a loose style that the soldiers preferred. His face was handsome, well-defined and well-proportioned, with a strong contour on his wide, cracked chin. His eyes, two steely spheres, intact and intact in their azure stares, stared at the exhibition in front of them, utter contempt. Under a splendid neck, he had the figure of a military man, muscular, muscular arms that tensed his shoulders. The man was also tall, almost 6.5 feet, and made him taller with horned leather boots that kicked on the marble pavement.

"Scarlet, it's great to see you. "The intruder confidently walked through the floor of the teleportation chamber like a king surveying his territory.

Next to the Scarlet Witch, Alicia's intense hostility brews until it turns into a tempered campfire with an unexpectedly warm crackling sound.

"Lord Gunther Schultz," she said with the tingle of an Alesian voice that Gwen had never heard. "Your arrival was such a coincidence. ”

"Oh, please," Gunther replied. "It won't be too late, will it?"

Gunther walked like a shepherd among a herd of wayward, crowing sheep. The guards stepped back awkwardly, their hands clenched on the white fingers of the suppressor.

"Paladin, please forgive yourself. "We are arresting Miss de Botton," a guard, captain of the guard, announced carefully. The role of the paladin makes Gunther the enforcer of justice for the Lord of the Tower. If the Glowing Mage wanted to punish a captain for disobeying orders, no one would blink, not even the Walken Mage.

To the surprise of the captain of the guard, Gunther suddenly turned to him, his radiant aura shining with supernatural charm.

"Cadet, what is the right agreement for your paladin?"

The guards turned pale.

He stiffened his turn to Gunther as he put his gun on his suppressor. He walked exactly two paces away, raised a hand, saluted him, and mechanically locked his elbow.

"Allow you to speak, Paladin-sama!"

"Disagree. Gunther glared at the sultry captain from high and gave him a neat return salute. "Leave now!"

The guards looked at each other, hoping that a judge who had sent them here would show up and somehow save their skins. For the next few seconds, when no such mage entered, they deflated like used balloons.

Gwen didn't know - but the hierarchy in the tower was strange. The ancient Roman Empire, founded by the Commonwealth of Brittany, set the ground rules for spell qualifications. At the same time, the setting of frontier military ranks also contradicts the traditional setting of military ranks. Judge Walken was Gunther's elder, but he had no military rank. Gunther, on the other hand, held the positions of Mags, Paladin, and Lieutenant Colonel. As the guards of the towers, these men were actually gendarmes. If Gunther wanted to throw the book to the guards, they could only turn to the judge himself.

"Get back to your post!" the captain shouted to his men. As a whole, the guards hid their weapons and happily walked towards the outpost inside the tower.

"Have a good day, sir. The captain saluted Gunther again, and then turned to Alexia, with pure contempt on his face. "Major. ”

"Fuck you," Alexia replied sharply.

The two locked their eyes until Gunther placed himself between them.

"Goodbye, Captain, I'm speaking to Judge Walken on your behalf. Gunther gave the captain of the guard an apologetic look.

"Damn brains. "Alexia is determined to say the last word, Lap Dog!"

Looking at Alicia's triumphant expression, Gwen realized the exact reason for Master Kielroy's reservations about her craft sister. Alexia is a loose cannon! She's a powerful mage, but this woman is a striking ram! She doesn't have the capacity to accept any insults except Newton's third law! The captain must be a bastard, but even Gwen understands that this hapless bastard is following orders. What are the benefits of whipping an attack dog, especially when its owner refuses to show up?Watching Alicia kick him when he falls, it's no wonder that Alesia is a pariah in the tower. If she takes over Yue as an apprentice, and the two combine their fiery tempers, won't they become a truly dynamic duo?

As the guards dispersed, the women were left alone with Gunther, which was even more impressive. It's not so much that his body is too bloated and obsessed with quality like a man, but rather that the radiant mage fills the room with his presence. This is different from Gwen's mother, who draws attention from a room to herself, and because of Gunther's presence, any space is instantly smaller.

"My place, dinner," Alexia whispered.

"See you then. Intermittent answer. Gunther strode past the two of them to a floating platform and bid them farewell.

"That's our ......," Gwen began, but Alexia booed her.

She took Gwen's hand. The two ascended the teleportation platform again, where Alicia invoked the glyph for her apartment, and the two left.
