In the winter of 751 in the Aramanian calendar, the magic array city on the side of the twin towers of the gate, the palace of the Marquis of Balan.

As soon as the maid Lily stepped outside, she was sneezed by the cold wind blowing in her face.

Less than a month after she had been sent from the Marquisate to the Twin Towers of Gate, she was a little unaccustomed to the winter in the Northlands. I had to put down the big basket in my hand, put my hand out of the snow suit, put it to my mouth and breathe, and rubbed it vigorously.

For ease of movement, she didn't wear those heavy cotton gloves. At this time, a pair of white hands looked red because they were rubbing and rubbing.

She had just turned fourteen years old, and she was born from a small aristocrat who had served the Marquis of Balan for generations. As soon as she became an adult, she was sent to this distant enclave by her family, exchanged for the eldest girl of the same family, and asked her to go back to marry.

This was the norm for the aristocracy. Unless he is deeply loved by the upper nobles and stays by his side, this kind of service time is the time for the minor nobles to learn etiquette and run the house at the same time.

Until you almost learn that you can find your next family, you can marry, or there are other members of the family who can take your place. And Lily will be sent by the patriarch of the family to this place closest to the marquisess, which is quite important.

For this favor, of course, this young girl who has just grown up will remember it in her heart. Born in the aristocracy, it is rare to raise the kind of white-eyed wolf that doesn't know what to do. After all, distinguishing between right and wrong is the first step to protecting one's life.

But even if it was a blessing to be able to get close to the Marquisess, the weather in the Northland was still difficult to adapt to. Especially a first-time girl like her.

"Lily, let's go."

It was the head maid who spoke, and she and her husband were based in the mansion at the Twin Towers of the Gate, managing the people who came and went. At this time, she personally held a large wooden box, led the other two maids who also held the wooden box, and called out to the little maid who came out first.

A group of four people approached the magic tower directly opposite the door. Lily couldn't help but look to the left, in another mansion next to the Marquis's Palace.

The roof was covered with several statues, gold bricks, and the house was arranged with flowers, which was the main control center of the Shield City's magic array, and it was also the location of the most important organ in the shield city, the city council known as the 'Shield of the Lost Land'.

Because the council hall is named the 'Shield of the Maze', it is known as the first line of defense against the invasion of the abyssal demons. That's why this magic array city is called 'Shield City'.

I heard that the original city council asked to be located in the current location of the Marquis of Baran's palace. Because this location is the closest to the main entrance of the Magic Tower, it is also the center point of the design of the shield city.

Of the ten members of the City Council, six belonged to the nobles of the two empires of Gwana and Haider; Of the remaining four, the Karlsruhe Empire, the Vida Militarists, and the Suritang Empire each have one. The last one is the representative chosen by the other forces.

With such political strength on the table, any small country will tremble. Even the upper nobles of the Marquis of Baran, Grand Duke Kavi of the Gwana Empire had to choose to back down, not to mention that this was only the Marquis of Balan, who only belonged to the rank of Grand Duke.

But a word from the tower master: "My apprentice's house is closer to me, can't it?" ”

Then the city council was silent, and obediently chose the house next to it.

The tower master of the magic tower doesn't care about things, it's just their attitude, it's not that they can't manage it, and it's not that they dare not manage it. Instead, it has to be reversed and said, if the tower owner wants to manage, the city council dares to resist?

Therefore, the Marquis of Baran's mansion became the only house in Dun City that was not under the jurisdiction of the city council. Otherwise, the city council will have to take care of all the big and small things in the shield city, even if it is the renovation and decoration of the house, it is a big crime in the shield city to change it without permission.

Those things were too far away from Lily, though. The reason why she paid attention to the council hall next to her was because the basket in her hand was full of official documents from the council to the magic tower.

As mentioned earlier, the Magic Tower is an attitude of no matter what, and there are no explicit rules or contracts written in black and white. Therefore, the city council would always write down the resolution and the request to the Magic Tower in a piece of paper, which was sent into the tower through the servants of the Marquis of Baran's palace...... Destroyed.

Yes. In the days since she came to the Marquis of Balan's mansion, Lily has entered the magic tower more than once. Except for the first time I was a little apprehensive, after that, it was like walking into the homes of those high-ranking nobles, as long as I kept my part, there would be no problem.

The lord of the tower, and the master she served, the Marquis of Balan, Lily had seen more than once. It's just that her status is still too low, and the affairs she is responsible for are also marginal matters, so she couldn't talk directly with those two big people.

What Lily did the most was to deliver the official documents from the city council to the third person in the tower, the tower owner's bodyguard, Lord Stone.

This handsome-looking, fair-skinned, but expressionless guard, every time he gets a document from the city council, he opens it and reads it.

Most of them are thrown directly into the furnace to be destroyed, and only a few are handed over to the tower owner, but usually nothing is done. In the case of forwarding, there may not be a letter for several days. Lily hadn't seen the reply.

The city council didn't care about such a thing, and perhaps the old men wished that the magic tower didn't care about the official request. It's just that people are within the scope of the magic tower's attack, and no one dares to really treat the magic tower as if it doesn't exist. So it's good to express it.

The affairs of the superior people, with Lily's current status, of course, can't be controlled over there. As Stone picked up the paper and read it, and when he was about to burn it, Lily noticed that several maids were busy with her.

The wooden box in their hands was actually the food cooked by the chef in the Marquis's Palace. One is for the tower owner and the Lord Stone in front of him; one for their master, the marquis; And one more is ......

"Ah, Lily, I see you again. My sister was so happy. ”

At the same time as the voice came, the little maid couldn't escape if she wanted to. She was attacked from behind, and the whole person was carried into her soft arms, and her face was ravaged like mochi. The hair tied up with a towel was even more messy, and the whole person was no different from a crazy woman.

Without looking, Lily knew that the person who came was the apprentice of the master of the abyss side tower of the Twin Towers of the Gate, and also one of the only two friends of her master, Lord Halumi.

His face was rubbed so that he could only pout, and he greeted vaguely: "Good day, sister." ”

"Yes, I'm a sister too. I'm so happy. "Halumi has nothing light or heavy on his hands, and he shows his 'love' to the fullest.

Lily felt miserable, and trying to comb her somewhat stiff hair was not an easy task. Every morning when I wake up, I always have to worry about this unkempt hair. Then, when I met this sister, I had to worry about it again......

But she can't resist such atrocities, whether it's because of the difference in identity or strength. Anyway, it's just a matter of rubbing your face, chest, belly, and buttocks. If you can't resist, then enjoy it.

…… Well, who said that strange sentence?

"Well, would you like to come with me to the other side?" Harumi asked, bullying people.

The little maid said helplessly, "Sister, I can't get through that door, how can I get through." ”

The Twin Towers of the Gate are built on both sides of the Abyss Gate, which is easy to pass through, but after all, it is not more convenient than opening two connecting doors directly inside the tower.

As a lazy cancer patient, flash surgery can solve most of the hassles of traveling, which is a good thing. But except for Fen, the rest of the people around him have not yet reached such heights, so they can only walk on two legs. Step out of the tower, through the Abyss Gate, and into the tower.

Although the twin towers of the gate are two towers, and the two towers also have their own tower owners, in Lin's thoughts, the two towers are still one. In order to embody this concept of 'oneness', it must be convenient in terms of transportation.

In order to do this, and more importantly, for the convenience of the people around him, Lin set up a portal based on flashing techniques for the two towers. In a magic tower with an energy pool, building such a semi-permanent switchable teleportation channel is not a cost at all.

However, in order to prevent someone from using the internal portal of the Twin Towers of the Gate to cause trouble in another tower, especially if the demon enters the magic tower on the side of the abyss through the magic tower on the abyss side, in order to circumvent the rule that the demon will be attacked by the magic tower when passing through the abyss gate.

Therefore, the portal inside the Twin Towers of the Gate, Lin has set a whitelist limit on use. There were only six people who could pass through the door freely, Lin, Fin, Harumi, Kaya, Marquis of Baran, and the former Dark Legion Praetorian Guard Captain Stone Stone.

Anyone other than these six people, when they try to open a portal to another tower, will trigger the enemy encounter mechanism in the magic tower, kill or run away.

At the same time, portals based on Flashing will also randomly bring in Flashing parameters. This is the equivalent of someone once using an extradimensional banishment, throwing people who try to pass through without permission to a place that no one knows, whether they live or die.

Even if there were six people leading the way, they wouldn't be able to get through the portal. Unless Lin or Fen personally used the flashing technique to lead people, it would be to obediently walk through the abyss gate outside the tower and reach the other side.

So for Harumi's proposal, Lily simply ignored it. The warning about the Magic Tower had been repeatedly emphasized by the head maid when she first arrived. Those who do not believe in evil are dead, and under the noses of the magicians, do not believe in their level of goodness.

Harumi let go of the little maid in her arms. Like the elf, his toes touched the ground slightly, and he floated nimbly, turning to Lily's face.

The neck-length wavy blonde hair swayed in motion, and it even reflected a little glitter, which looked beautiful. The white robe also has the smooth color of silk, and the hidden white pattern is even more faint.

At this time, she looked regretful, as if she had just remembered that the portal in the tower did not accept outsiders. He muttered, "It's a pity." He took the wooden box from the other maids. Inside is a lunch to take back to another tower, for three people.

Suddenly, a thin voice came from the other end, saying, "Halumi, the teacher is looking for you." The Marquis of Balan, covered in black robes, was standing in the middle of the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor.

Harumi shoved the wooden box back into the maid's hand and whispered, "Take it first, I'll come back later." Turning around, he trotted in the direction of the stairs and said, "Here we are." What is my sister looking for me, do you know? ”

The Marquis didn't answer, just shook her head, and leaned against the wall to make way for the staircase.
