The Magic Tower, the landmark building of the Auss Imperial Academy, the tallest mage tower in the imperial capital, speaking of its history, it has to start with the triumphant battle, although the cruel war took away a lot of lives, but also brought the prosperity of magic, after the war human beings in order to commemorate the great feats of magic, built such a majestic building, has stood for a hundred years.

Lucy slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he found himself in a huge room, he slowly stood up and looked at the beautiful room in front of him, with snow-white walls, hanging all kinds of portraits, and the red carpet tattooed with golden flowers and plants, lifelike.

At the front of the room was a large table, on which all kinds of books were piled up, and an old man in a white robe was sitting behind the desk, reading a book peacefully, and from time to time annotating something with a pen......

"You're awake, darling. ”

Lucy was beaten by this dear, disgusting old man, secretly slandered in his heart, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?

The white-robed old man put down the book in his hand, looked at Lucy with deep eyes, and said in a leisurely tone: "You can call me by my name, Larkins, as for here, my office, um...... People like to call it the Magic Tower, my dear. ”

After listening to the brief introduction of the white-robed old man, Luxi was confused, he always felt that something was wrong there, and reached out to touch the mask on his face...... Huh, where's my mask?!

Lucy only felt that his hands were empty, and his whole hand was in the helmet, and yes, the mask was gone.

"You don't have to wear a mask here, you're the most beautiful. Larkins stood up and walked over to Lucie, clasping his hands on his chest and saying in an appreciative tone.

"You took my mask?" Lucie said slowly.

"I like things in their true colors, my dear. Larkins pushed his gold-rimmed glasses with his hand, and his tone was indifferent.

Lucy said strangely, "Aren't you afraid? I'm a man without a body." ”

Larkins laughed, shook his beard and said, "You're so humorous...... Dear ......"

Lucy was speechless...... Is this old man's head arching to a pig? Why is he talking like crazy......

"You're not human at all......"

Lucy said angrily: "This Mr. Pulling Golden, please pay attention to your words and deeds, although I have a good temper, but I have dignity. “

"Have you ever seen a man without a body? ”

Lucy was speechless......

"Undead, dear, you are dead. ”

Larkins looked at Lucy patiently and said, "I think you know it yourself, but you don't dare to face it, you are afraid ......"

Larkins's words, like a sword with magical power, stung Lucy deeply, and Lucy lowered his helmet slightly, his hands clenched into fists.

"Heresy, the devil, sin, people are full of distorted perceptions of the existence of the undead, so I don't blame you, my dear, if it were me, I would go to find a fig leaf. Larkins said reassuringly.

"What the hell are you trying to say......" Lucy felt very depressed, the large spacious room seemed to have become much narrower, and he wanted to get out of here......

Akins grabbed a volley, and a mask fell into his hand, and then handed it to Lucy.

"Put it on, don't force yourself, for you now, you really can't do without it. ”

The familiar silver mask, Lucy seemed to see an oasis in the desert, quickly put the mask on his face, and the whole person relaxed.

"I am the one sent by the God of Light to guide you, believe in me, follow me, one day, you will see the light of day again, the future is bright, and the darkness does not need to be covered. Larkins looked at Lucy with a sincere look on his face.

"What if I refuse......" Luci said tentatively

Larkins smiled softly and said, "You won't, the light is not strong enough to coexist with the darkness now, and people's spitting will make you ashes, my dear, you have no choice." ”

Lucy was silent for a long time, raised his helmet, and said calmly: "But I don't believe in the God of Light, I only believe in good people, are you a good person?" Mr. Larkins. ”

"I'm a good person, the best good person......"

"Then I'll believe you once......"

"Thank you for your trust, my dear. ”

Rakins smiled and held out a hand, white light flashing, only to see a black book in his hand.

"This book is given to you as a greeting gift, and the God of Light is generous, and so am I. ”

Lucy, who had no culture, took the book from Larkins's hand and unceremoniously put it in the ring, no matter how much he didn't like it, he couldn't refuse it in person, he could choose to throw it away behind his back.

"Thank you for the book, it would be better if you could give me a certificate of strength. Lucy scratched his head innocently.

"Whatever you want, I'll make it happen, dear ......" Rakgins said in a deep voice, "Amy, you can come in." ”

The door to the room was pushed open, and a woman walked in, and Lucy turned her head to look.

This woman was wearing a beautiful blue and white uniform, short black hair, full of shoulders, delicate facial features, as if they had been sculpted, fresh and refined, with a bit of cold air in her eyes, staring coldly at Luci.

Rakins said with a smile: "In the future, she will be your servant, responsible for all your daily life, and will help you obtain the strength certificate in the Auss Imperial Academy." ”

"My name is Amy, master. ”

The woman lowered her head and said politely.

"My name is Luci, the road of the big road, the west of the watermelon. ”

Lucy has a black line, he has not yet been freed from the status of a servant, but in the process of looking for his master, he gets a servant...... Happiness came so suddenly that he was obviously caught off guard......

......

"Will pie fall from the sky?"

As a child, Lucy loved to ask stupid questions.

Every time my grandmother would lovingly tell him, of course not......

......

He didn't believe it before, but now he does.

"Amy, this robe is too tight. Lucy stood in front of the mirror, looking at the magic robe on his body, a little sad, although he successfully put it on the armor, but it looked ugly, bloated appearance, like a fat wizard.

"Master, you can't wear armor to study magic, you must wear a school uniform. ”

"Amy, there's no one now, can I take it off first. ”

"Master, no, Mr. Larkins has commanded, master to be careful at all times, if the armor on your body is exposed, it may be dangerous, so please bring your hood, master. ”

"Amy, I can't be alone. ”

"Master, no, Amy wants to be with you at all times to ensure your safety. ”

“......”

Leaving the Magic Tower, Lucy was placed to live in a remote lighthouse in the Auss Academy, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the top lamp had lost its illuminating magic, and the tower was overgrown with weeds and a dilapidated scene

Lucy lives on the top floor of the lighthouse, and from the window you can see the magnificent buildings of the entire Austian Academy, several floating islands hovering over the Academy, and the occasional magician can be seen shuttling through it, which is full of life and beauty.

It's too extravagant to live alone in a tower, isn't it...... Lucy looked out the window at the scenery and thought to himself.

"Master, you can't go out at will without my approval. ”

Amy held a broom in her hand and said coldly while cleaning the room.

"It would have been better without this wordy servant......

Lucy looked at the floating island in the distance and muttered to himself without distraction.

"Master, what are you talking about......"

"Ah...... I said that it was such a blessing to have Amy by my side......"
