Wizard Noll raised his staff and tapped it lightly in the air, and a portal burning with golden flames appeared in an instant.

"Well, Rolda, you can rest here for a while, and I'll be back at dawn!"

Glancing at Rolda with deep meaning, the wizard Noll turned and beckoned to the energetic black cat not far away, and the next moment, the black cat suddenly jumped up from the carpet, jumped on the sofa, and jumped over Noll's shoulder.

"Hmm.... You seem to be heavy again...."

"Meow!"

Seeing the wizard Noll and his black cat complaining to each other there, Rolda's nervousness suddenly became lighter.

With a smile on his face, he watched the back of the wizard Noll and the black cat who was crouching on his shoulder and turned his head to watch him cross the portal and disappear.

Rolda, who had been worried since she realized the problem as soon as she came back from the crossing, finally felt her body suddenly become lighter.

Can't help but yawn.

Looking at the timer hanging on the wall, Rolla thought to herself.

"It's the third hour, and there's still some time until the seventh hour, so... Now I can just take advantage of the time to get some sleep. ”

Thinking of this, Rolda once again recalled the deep meaning of the wizard Noll before leaving, and couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

With the perception of Rolda now superimposed on the dragon's instinct, he could naturally perceive the shock and disbelief in the eyes of wizard Noll, as well as a faint worry and attention to himself.

"Forget it, anyway, there are so many capable people on Kirishima Island, even if I really want to go out and fight, it won't be my turn."

Yawning again, Rolda looked around and lay down on the couch near the fireplace.

"So... Just wait for Mr. Knorr to come back, and then everything will fall into place. ”

The tension of the previous gray tide finally relaxed, and with the crackling sound of the fireplace from time to time, Rolda slowly closed his eyes.

.....

"Dear Wizard Noor, this is the ninth hour, and the ash tide concentration has increased by 0.01% compared to yesterday, and it is expected to reach its highest during the day at the fourteenth hour."

"Your schedule for today is as follows: go to the third floor of the Wizard's Tower to teach the 'Advanced Course in Occultism', go to the 'Kirishima Research Institute' for a closed-door meeting of fourteen people, go to the 'Monitoring Department' to review the data, go to the ......, and finally, go to the 'Kirishima Shop' to buy 'dried whitebait' for the black cat."

“......”

Listening to the faint mechanical sound in his ears, Rolda's hazy consciousness gradually became clear.

"'Dried whitebait'? It's so expensive, and sure enough, it's Mr. Knoll, and even his cat can eat it. ”

"Having said that, if I am promoted to the white robe, can I also apply for a high-level magic weapon as a pet? So what do I choose? Pick one...."

Feeling these unreliable thoughts in her consciousness, Rolda, who was still a little sleepy, shook her head lightly, throwing away all these unreliable thoughts, and Rolda finally remembered where she was going to do something.

Recalling the time he had just heard in the haze, an inexplicable emotion surged in Rolda's heart.

"Wizard Knorr is so sweet! Knowing that I was tired, he didn't bother me and let me sleep a little longer. ”

Rolda slowly got up from the couch, the fireplace still burning and the cups on the table still steaming.

"Mr. Knorr?"

No response.

Rolda's heart was violently raised, he looked around, and said softly.

"Mr. Knorr?"

No response.

Rolda's face was extremely solemn, and he looked around again, there was a passage in front of him and a passage on the left, and on the left was the passage he had taken when he had entered yesterday, and the passage he had left; But ahead... It was not clear to Rolda where this passage leads.

"Noel.... Is it there? ”

Rolda walked over, looked at the dark passageway, and after a moment of silence, Rolda shouted softly.

"Mr. Knorr."

The next moment, all the lights in the passage came on, and the metal door full of intricate patterns at the end was revealed to Rolda's eyes.

Rolda looked at the door at the end, hesitated for a moment, and slowly stretched out his hand, tentatively reaching out towards the passage.

But as soon as his hand was level with the wall of the passage, a blue curtain of light suddenly appeared, blocking Roerda's hand.

At the same time, the sound of magic machines rang out.

"Guest Rolda, you are not authorized to visit Wizard Knorr's meditation room, please get permission before entering."

“......”

Rolda muttered in silence as she stared at the closed unopened door at the end of the passage.

"Mr. Knorr.... Are you in there? ”

The next moment, a female voice suddenly sounded in the silent living room where there was only Rolda.

"He... And didn't come back."

The moment he heard the voice, Rolda's pupils shrank suddenly, and the perception that he had originally retained radiated away in an instant.

"Who is it?"

Rolda turned around suddenly, and his line of sight like lightning swept across the entire living room in an instant, and finally... Stopped on a portrait drawing hanging on the wall.

Rolda had seen this painting when he came, it was a picture of a court lady dressed in a magnificent costume, with her hands folded on her chest, looking at the front with a smile on her face.

But now .... The lady on the painting looked at Rolda anxiously, leaned forward, and her hands stretched out of the painting at some point, beckoning to Rolda.

“.....”

Rolda's face was expressionless, staring at the noble lady whose clothes shook to reveal a large area of snow white because of her leaning forward, and only after a long time did she say slowly.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Spirit."

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment she heard Rolda's inquiry, the noble lady revealed her identity.

And Rolda was shocked when he heard this, according to occult knowledge, 'spirits' are extremely powerful beings in the void, and they are the most incredible legends alongside the ancient gods of the old days. But why did a spirit suddenly appear in front of you?

And..... The momentum doesn't seem to be so strong in perception?

As if hearing Rolda's inner question, the noblewoman's tone was hurried.

"Don't bother with my identity now! I heard all your conversation with Wizard Knorr yesterday, and I tell you, he hasn't been back since he left yesterday! ”

"This must have happened to him!"

"Wizard Knorr keeps his promise, since he said yesterday that he would come back before dawn, then he will definitely keep his word, even if there is an emergency, he will let the black cat come back to report the news! But now they haven't come back! ”

Listening to the explanation of the lady in front of him, the corners of his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

"So... What am I going to do now? I don't even know where he went yesterday! ”

"Now you can go to the Tower of Knowledge and find the white-robed wizard 'Stewart'! He's Wizard Knorr's best friend, and he's a member of the Council, and he has great powers to help you find Wizard Knorr! ”

Hearing this, Rolda nodded slowly.

"So, what shall I call you, ma'am?"

"You can call me 'Vivien'!"
