Chapter 15: Ice and Fire Strife in the Backyard III

"A humanoid creature has been detected entering, and the target has been confirmed, the identity of the hostess Cecil. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWelcome, Miss Cecil. ā€

"Alert: Illegal Intruder Detected, Category: Humanoids, Ghosts. ā€

"Target Threat Level: Weak. The defense system is not activated...... Activate the Circle of Imprisonment. ā€

"The target was detected carrying a positioning device, and the test result: legal. Visitors have temporary access, alarms are lifted, and confinement circles are lifted. ā€

Cecil and Ace used a magic teleportation array and locator, and as soon as they entered Calvin's Tower, the stern and serious voice of the Taling "Pass" sounded.

Before Ace could react, a pale blue translucent hemispherical energy shield rose up, confined her in place.

The pass analyzes the data quickly, and the locator in Ace's hand saves her a lot of trouble. The locator was actually prepared for Ace by Tang Mo's order, but he wasn't sure how things would develop. If there was no need, Tang Mo didn't want anyone else to know about the Mage Tower, especially when he was still very weak at this stage.

Cecil was happy to see this happen, which at least showed her special position in Tang Mo's heart. Originally, the little girl didn't plan to bring Ace in, anyway, it doesn't seem to be dangerous for Ace to be outside, right?

But unexpectedly, Ace's unusually rich feelings suddenly became abundant, and even ...... Thinking of Ace's pitiful appearance before, Cecil pursed his lips and said in his heart: "I really can't do anything about you." But I can't watch you wander in front of me, maybe Victor will blame me, I'm not that stupid. ā€

Cecil was feeling sorry for himself there, one moment annoyed, one moment sweet, another heartless, and Taling's voice sounded again.

"A full-body scan of the visitor is being ......"

"A visitor has been detected, and Ace the ghost is in a suspicious state. ā€

"Category: Psychic pollution. Model: Jealousy. Severity: Mild. ā€

"Reason: Curses trigger amplified inner desires. ā€

"Curse source: unknown, suspected to be a divine curse. Non-primary curse targets should be caused by the spread of the AoE curse. ā€

"Can it be cleared: Yes. ā€

"Reinfection: Yes. This type of curse is based on the desires and feelings of intelligent creatures, and it is very easy to re-infect. ā€

"Deep isolation and ongoing treatment are recommended. This treatment is carried out in multiple sessions, and it is also recommended not to have strong mood swings after full recovery until the source of the curse is completely eliminated. ā€

Cecil was stunned - what was this curse of divine power?No wonder Ace had been so wrong lately that the relationship between the two had fallen to a freezing point.

Regardless of what she thought in her heart, the pass quietly gave her a full body test - this is a rule set by the master, and no one can violate it, including the hostess!

"Mistress Cecil ...... detected"

At this point, the pass suddenly got a little stuck, as if it had found something that it didn't quite understand.

"Emotionally unstable...... Suspected of jealousy. ā€

"Detecting curse ......"

"Conclusion: No. ā€

......

The pass stumbled for a while, and reluctantly came to a conclusion. After thinking about it, he added: "It is suspected that it is close contact with the infected organism Aisi, which leads to secondary contamination ......"

Cecil was like a patient waiting for the doctor to announce the results, nervous, afraid that he would also give himself a deep quarantine or something. I don't quite understand what this deep isolation means, but it sounds like it's serious!

Fortunately, another Taling saved her in time, this is the voice of Taling's "housekeeper": "What secondary pollution!? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is jealousy, understand?"

Pass could not understand: "As far as I know, jealousy and jealousy are one meaning. Jealousy denotes jealousy, and jealousy leads to jealousy. ā€

"That's why you're still a little more like a machine, not like me, more like a person. "The housekeeper condescendingly critiques the pass, and is proud of his ability to understand the complex emotions of human beings, which is a sign of intelligent evolution!

"But I don't think it's a bad thing to have no feelings. Pass stubbornly defends his point of view, "We just evolve in different directions." You see, I can't be polluted by my mind, I can't be swayed by emotions at any time, and I can objectively evaluate myself and others. ā€

The butler didn't bother to talk much to this cold machine, and he "snorted" to show disdain. Although nothing substantial was spout, just a sound, I felt a little more comfortable in my heart for some reason.

The butler greeted the hostess warmly: "It's been a long time, beautiful Mistress Cecil. Is there anything you can do?"

Cecil looked around, the place looked so different from before, if it weren't for Taling's presence, she almost thought she was in the wrong place.

"What are you doing here? Are you going to demolish this place?" There was a faint sound of thunder from inside the mage tower, and a little dust fell from the top of the head from time to time, and even the ground felt undulating.

"Uh...... Actually, it's like this. The butler's voice looked a little annoyed, and he said, "For security reasons, we have forbidden the owner's right to enter the superstructure. You know, there are some places out there that are really dangerous, and we don't have enough guards and energy to clear them. ā€

Cecil interrupted him and said, "So, what you said before that you wouldn't open the upper echelons until you reach the corresponding professional level is all a lie?!"

The housekeeper said in a very embarrassed voice: "It's just for safety." I promise so. ā€

Cecil huffed and said, "How dare you deceive your master?"

Taling Pass was silent, as if it wouldn't be here. Of course, this is not possible, and all the entrances and exits are under its surveillance.

But then the owner found out. "The butler sounds a little regretful, the uncooperative master will always bring more trouble to the servants, and some of them are still big trouble!

"He insisted that as the owner of the Mage Tower, he had the right to know the details of any location in the tower. The butler said with some grumbling, "So in order to take into account the requirements of the master and the safety of the master, we decided to renovate the mage tower. ā€

"First of all, the tower structure was changed to a labyrinthine structure, and the dangerous arrangement and creatures and other similar properties were moved to the periphery. ā€

"The areas of living, studying, and working and studying are concentrated in the inner center. ā€

"All areas are isolated, and the overall defense system needs to be in a state ready to be activated. ā€

"And there must be enough guards and servants and laborers. ā€

......

Cecil listened to the butler's incessant introduction of its plan, and exclaimed, "What a complicated and huge plan. But how many people do you need and how much time does it take?"

"The main project is not complicated, the trouble is the follow-up maintenance and protection work. ā€

"Isn't it complicated?" Cecil was a little incredulous, listening to the butler's plan, how did he think that it was to dismantle the mage tower, this was the first step, and then rebuild a labyrinth, this was the second step.

Is it simple? There are only two steps, which seems to be very simple. The question is, is every step too complicated? Could it be that the creatures like Taling are just boring enough to make a fuss and have some fun?

"It's not complicated. The sound was so angry that it felt like the air around him was vibrating significantly, and Cecil had never heard it before.

"It's the guards. The butler introduced: "The entire mage tower is his body, and in a sense, we are in the body of the guard. ā€

"It's not complicated. The guard emphasized again: "Just adjust the structure of my body, I can solve it myself, and I don't need to find another man." ā€

Cecil was already speechless in astonishment, such a huge mage tower turned out to be the body of a guard? The world of magic is really unimaginable to ordinary people!

"What should she do?" Cecil pointed to Ace, the ghost unconscious, suspended silently on the ground.

"Don't worry. The housekeeper said confidently: "The pass will be processed, we just need to wait." ā€

"Well, is there any way to find or contact Victor?" asked Cecil wistfully.

"There's only one way. The butler was sure, but the next words gave Cecil a basin of cold water: "Wait for the master to come back himself." ā€

"Then we can go out and find him?" Cecil asked reluctantly, "There must be other exits besides Qingmeiyuan, right?"

"It's a pity that we don't have additional location coordinates outside other than there to take advantage of. And even if it is this coordinate, we have no way to use it for the time being. ā€

"And why?"

"We've observed that space has become somewhat unstable, and that teleportation over long distances has become extremely dangerous, and you were lucky enough to come here in good form. ā€

Cecil touched his arms and legs in fear, but fortunately they were still there!

"The detailed reason is still being analyzed, but we suspect that it is related to the magic net, which has become a little chaotic, and there is a big hole in the middle. ā€

Cecil wasn't interested in these reasons, she just wanted to know when she would be able to see Tang Mo again.

"So what's the way to get out?"

"It's simple, go out on your own. ā€

"How simple, how easy?"

"If you can deal with those monsters on the road, you can do it. ā€

It sounded really simple, but Cecil still asked with some skepticism, "Can I beat those monsters?"

The housekeeper replied very honestly: "If you practice for another ten or eight years, it's about the same, it's easy." ā€

"I can't wait that long!" Cecil said angrily, "Do you know how difficult it is for a mage to move up the ranks?"

"Is it so difficult?" the butler was a little unimpressed, he had seen many mages. But frankly speaking, if you want to succeed in cultivation within ten or eight years and kill all the way, it's really a bit ...... Not so easy.

"What to do in such a hurry. The butler muttered, in Taling's point of view, ten or eight years is just a momentary thing, even if it has similar human feelings, it is difficult to understand, after all, the concept of time is different.

"But it's not like there's no solution. ā€

Cecil was overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't want to stay alone in this place all the time, she had to go out and find the young master as soon as possible.

The butler suggested, "I see that you haven't officially become a mage yet, so why don't you become a warlock?"

"Warlock?" Cecil was stunned at first, but then the butler's words made her mind quickly.

"Warlocks are strong mainly by bloodline, and we have a powerful biological bloodline here that suits you. How about it, do you want to try it?"

"Although it will be a little painful to implant the bloodline...... Well, it hurts!"

"But correspondingly, as long as you succeed, there will be no obstacles to your cultivation in the future, we are very experienced in this, so let's decide?"

Cecil thought about it for a moment, with a resolute look on her face, she clenched her fists and said vigorously: "Then so be it, I decide." ā€

The butler sounded happy, and he muttered, "It seems that Mistress Cecil has no problem, so ...... next"

"What should I do, Mistress Ace? What a nerve-wracking question! As a good housekeeper, I have to take care of the troubles of the backyard for my master!"
