Wizards have great powers, but they still have to deal with trivial things, such as having to be cleaned after an experiment and having to clean up a messy laboratory and tidy up the bookshelves when looking up materials.

There are no mortals in the Black Tower, there are strong elements here, and the radiation produced is deadly to mortals, and it is people like them who have the physique to become a wizard and must be an old man like him who is old and has no future.

After all, of course, there is a chance to touch the knowledge in the bookstore, young people always have a strong desire, and it is full of many possibilities, and the slightest carelessness will cause the wizard himself to suffer a huge loss.

So whenever their lives were coming to an end, the wizards would exchange some benefits for them, the old men, to deal with these trivial chores.

The desires of the old people are much weaker than those of the young, and the sluggish minds cannot remember much, and the main thing is that they are not destined to live long.

About a year ago, the original owner of this body joined the ranks of the servants of the Black Tower, and the wizard offered him a lot of rewards, such as potions, gold, silver, jewelry, and antique equipment that could temporarily restore a certain function of the body and enjoy the woman's body again.

But he refused.

The only one thing he finally asked was to return his body to his hometown after his death and help him bring a message back to his family.

Anyone who enters the Black Tower is forbidden to leave the Black Tower for half a step until they become official wizards.

Unfortunately, even he himself did not expect his departure to come so suddenly, and the instructions that had not yet been conveyed to the wizard became a mystery.

But as Roshi, who inherited all his memories, knew what he wanted to say, what he wanted to tell his family was-

Never, never be a wizard.

More than 70 years ago, the original owner of this body came to the Black Tower, and after the initial anticipation, followed by a never-ending heavy blow, no matter how hard he tried to sleep and eat, the door of hope never opened to him.

Confused, crazy, and desperate, until in recent years, he has completely given up this obsession.

It's just that when he decided not to pursue those unattainable things anymore, and wanted to sit quietly and bask in the sun, and live the rest of his life peacefully with the good memories of the past, he found bitterly...

He simply had no memories worth remembering.

Yes.

In the past few decades, he has never done anything other than to indulge in the path of wizards, he has not taken half a step out of this black tower, he has not taken a girl's hand, and he has not even taken a good look at the starry sky above his head.

Many times he couldn't help but think that if he hadn't come to the Black Tower, he would have inherited his father's domain, married a beautiful and virtuous wife, and ruled this rich land with her.

At this time, he would lie in his arms with his wife, who was also gray-haired, and make fun of the wrinkles and gray hair on each other's old faces, rather than waiting to die in this majestic but cold tower.

A sad life indeed... But compared to him, I'm afraid I'm not much better...

Shaking his head, Roshi shook away the jumble of thoughts in his head, now is not the time to be sentimental.

"Da, da, da."

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of footsteps in the corridor ahead, the frequency was light and powerful, and just listening to this sound knew that it could not be made by an old man.

It was not other wizards who could come to the area of Wizard Maury, it must also be an official apprentice, Roshi hurriedly stood next to the corridor, ready to salute.

The footsteps gradually amplified, and soon, a beautiful figure appeared in his field of vision, and at this moment, a certain nerve in Roxi's heart seemed to be touched.

The long burgundy hair was casually draped over her shoulders, some bangs just crossed the upper eyelids, covering part of the delicate face, and a dark brown robe was tightly attached to her body, highlighting her graceful figure well, and the exposed skin was as white as the first snow.

Judging from the appearance alone, this is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, but you can't find the innocence and romance of a girl on her cold face, because she is actually 83 years old!

can remember so clearly, this is because Roshi knows the girl in front of him, from the same country, the same group of children, and the only one of their children to become an apprentice, a beggar abandoned by his parents since childhood, Karina.

Karina has a very good talent, and after arriving in the Black Tower, she quickly distanced herself from the other children, and the last time 'Roshi' saw her was when she was just promoted to an intermediate apprentice thirty years ago, so she must have reached an advanced apprentice after such a long retreat, right?

At this time, Luo Xi vaguely remembered that on the way to the Black Tower, in the cabin of the ferry, she was severely malnourished at that time, causing her sallow skin and dry hair, she was an inconspicuous little girl, and because of her birth, she was often bullied by other children.

It's really enviable...

The painful time that tormented Roshi didn't seem to leave any trace on her, and the wizard's strength could always be fixed as long as the growth cycle was maintained.

"Good morning, Miss Karina. Roshi took off his top hat and saluted politely.

In the Black Tower, only apprentices and official wizards were allowed to wear cloaks and robes, and Roshi was wearing a black kaftan with a bowler hat.

After a pause, he made his smile a little more, grabbed the top hat with both hands a little excitedly, and said kindly: "It's a pleasure to see you here." ”

Karina had a good relationship with him, because when she was in the cabin, Roshi taught the kids who bullied her out of a sense of justice.

At this time, he had to grasp all the resources around him, although Karina was not yet a wizard, a high-level apprentice could bring him a huge help, and her appearance was too timely.

was about to take it a step further, but before Roshi could blurt out the prepared words, Karina, who came over, didn't stop at all.

"Hmm. ”

She just nodded faintly, and then passed by him, never even looking at him.

What's going on?

In his memory, Karina is not a powerful person, and even the only person in this dark tower who cares about him, every time her strength improves, she will always come to share with herself, Roshi can live for so long, thanks to some magic potions she gave, although there have been some contradictions in the middle, but the problem is not big, it shouldn't be this kind of reaction.

Could it be... Didn't recognize?

After all, it's been 30 years in a flash, and her appearance has also changed dramatically, and the last time we met, she could at least straighten her waist, and it was natural that she couldn't recognize it.

Thinking so, Roshi hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss Karina, remember me? I'm Roshi, the guy who punched through the door." ”

At that time, it was precisely by relying on the deterrent power of this punch that no child dared to trouble Karina.

Karina's footsteps finally stopped.

Roshi breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he heard:

"I've been promoted to the official wizard. ”

There was not the slightest emotion in Roshi's cold tone, like a cold machine, and then, she lifted her steps again and walked away.
