The gloomy weather had been going on for days, and Savannah, who had never snowed, was snowflakes at the dawn of the day. The first thing many mages and apprentices did after waking up was to run outside, stand in the snow, and look up at the sky excitedly. The mischievous male apprentices had already grabbed the snow and kneaded it into snowballs and threw them at the girls, who were not to be outdone, and the noise spread throughout the mage tower.

The joy outside the house did not affect Ness, and the mage stood at the window, watching the apprentices downstairs frolicking with each other, and the fire in the fireplace was so burning that she did not feel the cold at all. The weather was getting more and more abnormal, and even Shavana, farther south than most kingdoms, was getting colder, and the apprentices who did not have a fireplace in their rooms were allowed to bake the fire in the large room where they studied magic at night, and did not return to their rooms until it was time to sleep.

The girl dreamed again last night, this time there was no strange sound in the dream, she dreamed of Fern, and unlike before, this time the dream was as if it had really happened. Although the previous dreams were very realistic, after waking up last night, Ness still felt that the mercenary was near her, maybe just outside the door of the room. Fern ran desperately outside the door, as if to avoid some threat, and then, the mercenary stopped, and Ness felt the fear, she sat on the bed in the room of the mage tower, but felt the fear in the hearts of the mercenaries who were far away from the two kingdoms. Ness grabbed the blanket tightly, and wrapped herself tightly in fear, but luckily the light of the fireplace gave her some comfort. Eventually, the mage's mind went blank for only a few seconds, and consciousness returned to Ness's mind.

He must be in danger, I have to save him!Ness lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed barefoot, the mage's room was covered with a woolen carpet, and the burrs of the carpet scraped softly over her tender feet, so that even walking barefoot on it would not be cold. The fireplace kept spreading heat throughout the room, and Ness, wearing only a thin dress and pajamas, walked from one end of the room to the closet at the other, took out a few random clothes and threw them on the bed, then walked back to this side, and straightened her hair in front of the mirror. After a while, the mage sat on the edge of the bed, tears already shaking. Fern, where are you? I don't even know where you are, what else can I talk about saving you?!Fern, if I had left here with you, at least we could face the danger together.

After that, the girl never slept again, and just sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. It didn't take long for Ness to get dressed and push open the door, and she decided to talk to Rui or she would really go crazy.

Rui's room was slightly colder, and there wasn't as much firewood in the fireplace as in Nice's room, and the fireplace was smaller.

"Are you dreaming again?" Rui was reading a book, and when she looked up and saw Ness's melancholy expression, she was the only person she could talk to in the Mage Tower, and every time she had something to say, she would talk to Rui.

"Yes, I dreamed of Fern, he was in danger, he was scared, and this time, even I was scared. Ness sat down in her chair, tearing at the corners of her skirt uneasily.

Rui frowned and pondered. "Your bond is getting stronger and stronger, although I don't know where he is now, but the distance between you and you must not be close, so that you can feel the fear in his heart, you really shouldn't be separated, you could have been Wallis's most tacit mage and protector, better than Adeline and Elonhan. The mage sighed and laid the book flat on the table.

"I guess he must have been in another demon to get so scared, I want to go to him, Rui, I really want to go to him. Ness looked up and looked seriously into Rui's eyes. "Can you help me?"

"Are you sure, Ness, will you abandon everything here, go against the will of Etiesh and Fabioso, and flee here to find Fern?" Ruiya looked at Ness solemnly, and their eyes met.

"I'm ......" Ness lowered her head, her heart full of conflict.

"Once you've decided, there's no going back, you have to think about it. Rui's black eyes shone with fire.

"I understand. Ness stood up and walked out the door.

"Ness. Rui stopped her. "When you make a decision, I will definitely help you, no matter what your decision is. ”

"Thanks, Rui. Ness gave the mage a smile and left the room.

The scorching air currents filled the entire fire magic laboratory, and Ness manipulated the fire elemental to rise from the ground one pillar after another. The girl's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her clothes were soaked, and her weak body was in stark contrast to the powerful pillar of fire. After casting three consecutive pillars of fire, the mage lost his strength and fell to the ground.

"Take a break. Etiyesh shook his head and shifted his position in his chair.

Fabioso helped Niss to sit in a chair, then placed his hands at the sides of her temples and began to regain her mental strength.

"No! I don't!" Ness pushed the old mage's hand away. "I can't hold it, I really can't hold it anymore, I don't want to do it anymore, I want to rest, I just want to take a good rest. The girl cried, her body trembling to the sound of crying.

Fabioso sighed, glanced at his student with pity, and then turned to look at the Great Sage. "She's really tired, she's over her limit, so let her rest for a few days. ”

"A few days, we can't waste a day, we're already late, we can't be late, although the Fire Pillar Technique is already a high-level magic in fire magic, it's still not enough, what we need is karmic fire, only that can ......." The Great Sage paused. "We can't stop until we can unleash our karmic fire. Etiyesh walked up to the two men. "Ness, don't be grumpy, you are the hope of the Mage Tower, and even more so the hope of Wallis, you must hold on. ”

"No! I'm not! I'm just me, Ness!" cried the girl.

There was a fierce flash in Etiyès's eyes, and his hands pushed hard towards Ness, and a golden light shot into the top of the girl's head, and then the great sage turned and walked towards the chair. "Go on, I just forcibly infused my mental power into her body, she has enough mental power, we don't have time to waste. ”

Fabioso's beard trembled, and his voice trembled. "Ness, hold on a little longer, practice a little longer, and then you can rest. ”

Ness clung to the old mage's sleeve, her whole body trembling with sadness or fear. "Master, please, save me, I will be devoured by magic, I really don't want to do this anymore, I'd rather die than do this again, save me, Master!"

Tears glistened in the old mage's eyes. "I know, child, I can't bear you, but ...... This is our only hope, and we have no choice. ”

"Even if there is a high probability that I will be completely destroyed, do you have to try?" Nessy looked at her mentor in despair, crying silently.

"I'm afraid yes, kid, I'm sorry. Fabioso broke free of Ness's hand and stood helplessly.

"Well, since this is what you want, then I will destroy it for you!" Ness suddenly stood up and frantically cast the Pillar of Fire Technique, several pillars of fire burst out of the ground at the same time, and when they had not reached the highest point, several pillars of fire appeared on the other side, and the huge space almost turned into hell, and every few steps a pillar of fire rushed to the roof.

"Stop, Ness, you're going to ruin yourself!" Fabioso yelled, taking Ness's hand to stop her.

"Let go of me, isn't that what you want?" Ness struggled to break free of the old mage's grasp, and continued to pour her mana out wildly, ignoring the harm it would do to her body.

Ness gradually felt that her whole body was getting hotter and hotter, and the whole figure was ignited by her own magic, and she was burned. But the girl endured the heat and continued to cast her magic, and she decided to destroy it in her own magic.

"That's enough!" Etiesh shouted angrily, and with a wave of his right hand at Ness, the girl instantly lost consciousness, her feet went limp, and she fell to the ground. "Send her back to her room, send more people to watch over her, and don't let her do anything stupid again. With that, the Great Sage flicked his sleeves and walked out of the laboratory.

Ness slowly opened her eyes, and Rui's face became clearer. "Rui, am I not dead?"

"Just one little bit, and you'll never see Fern again, you fool. Rei saw that Ness woke up and let out a long breath. "How could Etiyesh let you die?"

"Rui, I don't want to practice those magic anymore, I'm so scared, I don't want to do this anymore, I ......" Rui covered Niss's mouth, put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, then found the door and stuck to it for a while before walking back to the bed. "They've been more vigilant about you, and now we're going to have to be more careful with whatever we say. ”

Ness grabbed Rui's hand in fear and forced her voice to be suppressed. "Rui, please, take me out of here, take me to Fern, I don't want to stay here any longer, please!" the girl's tears burst out again.

Rui took Ness into his arms and whispered in her ear. "I promise you, Ness, that we will go to Fern, and although we don't know where he is, we will definitely find him, wherever he is. Rui couldn't help but shed tears, for the devastation and grievances that Niss had suffered, and for her determination to finally make up her mind.

"Great, Ray, thank you, I'm so happy, we're going to get out of here soon, we'll see Fern soon, great, Ferne, we'll meet soon, great......" Ness muttered to herself and fell asleep quietly in Ray's arms.
