Chapter 21: The Verge

Having made up her mind, Rolda turned and walked towards the door.

Similar to when he entered, as soon as Rolda's hand grasped the doorknob in the room, several options suddenly appeared on the door facing Rolda's side.

Without hesitation, Rolda chose to leave, but when the space around Rolda changed haze, he never saw that the wizard sitting behind the long table outside the door just now actually put down the book at this moment, and cast his eyes here with an indifferent face.

.....

Kirishima's institutions can be divided into official organizations and non-governmental organizations according to their nature, and the official organizations are responsible for maintaining order in Kirishima and coordinating Kirishima's interactions with the outside world, as well as the many disputes between wizards. On the other hand, private organizations are formed by private associations of wizards, and they are the fundamental factor in Kirishima's long-term vitality, and the official and private organizations are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

In Kirishima, there are four official organizations, namely the Investigation Office of the Supervisor, the Wizard's Tower responsible for the external and internal activities of wizards, the Knowledge Tower of Inheritance and Research, and the legendary organization Night Watchman.

The first three constitute the most mainstream and daily government system in Kirishima, and all the daily activities and affairs of wizards are inseparable from these three institutions, while the last organization, the Night Watch, is a mysterious organization that only exists in circulation and can only be contacted by a very small number of people.

The Kirishima Supreme Council is the highest governing body in Kirishima and has a total of nine seats, including two seats for the Investigation, three seats for the Wizard's Tower, two seats for the Tower of Knowledge, one seat for the Night's Watch, and the last seat with the highest decision-making power is the legendary Lord of Kirishima.

Previously, Rolda had taken a course called Emergency Amendment, one of which was that when any two wizards who occupied seats on the main institutional committees lost contact, they could go to any of the three institutions to apply for an 'emergency correction', and if contact could not be restored, the incident would be reported to the 'Supreme Council' as a first-level incident.

These rules flashed through his consciousness, and the space in front of Rolda's eyes gradually changed from a hazy floating light and shadow to something clear.

The figure appeared around the corner of the first floor, and Rolda endured the slight dizziness caused by the change of space, blushing slightly, and walked towards the teleportation array leading to the outside world at the door.

But...

As soon as he walked to the door, before he could activate the teleportation array, Rolda suddenly sensed a sharp gaze like a falcon coming from behind him, and Rolda's back suddenly felt a little painful, like a pinprick in a needle.

The body paused slightly, forcibly controlling his body instinct to prevent himself from revealing the horse's feet that he had already noticed, and Rolda kept his body relaxed, but his eyes instantly became cloudy.

"The people behind me are coming towards me!"

"If they can guard me in the Tower of Knowledge, it means that they must be from the Investigation Institute!"

"So.... Can I still go to the Wizard's Tower? ”

Unlike the Tower of Knowledge, the Wizard's Tower is located on the northwest side of Kirishima and has a natural connection point that makes it easy to communicate with the outside world.

The Tower of Knowledge and the Tower of Wizards are far apart, and when Rolla was an apprentice, it would take nearly an hour to use magic tools.

Although Rolda has now advanced to a wizard, it will only increase the efficiency of the use of magic weapons by fifty percent at most, because the upper limit of the speed caused by the material of the magic tools is there, even if Rolda has become a wizard, it cannot exceed this upper limit.

Once the input mana exceeds the maximum amount that the magic machine can carry, then the magic tool will directly enter the overload.

Now, based on the maximum speed of the magic machine, it will take two-thirds of an hour to reach the Wizard's Tower from the Tower of Knowledge where Rolda is now located.

In addition, once he travels at full speed, it will be an anomaly in the eyes of the investigation institute, and he will definitely be intercepted and stopped.

In a short moment, the consideration of the situation made Rolda anxious, and in a flash of light, Rolda made a decision.

"From here to the Wizard's Tower, the direction is the same as my return to my quarters, except that they diverge at a junction in the middle."

"I can use my magic weapon to pretend to go back to my quarters, then walk to the intersection and immediately accelerate and turn!"

"Must go to the Wizard's Tower! Only by going to the Wizard's Tower can you get rid of the pursuit and save Wizard Knorr! ”

After a slight stagnation in his footsteps, Rolda finally stepped onto the teleportation array.

Another change of light and shadow.

Standing on the steps in front of the barrier, Rolda pretended to be calm, but the corner of his eye instantly stared at the black-robed man under the lamppole on the left side of the road in front of him.

The gaze once again pretended to be casual and scanned the surroundings, but no more anomalous sights were seen.

"Only one?"

Rolda's brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes suddenly saw something on the right sidewalk, and after a little thought, he had a plan.

With a faint sigh in his heart, Rolda no longer stopped, but directly put his hat on and took a step out of the enchantment.

The familiar cold breath in the air surrounded Rolda the moment he left the barrier, feeling a colder breath than in the morning, and Rolda's consciousness suddenly flashed the magic weapon prompt he heard in Noor's house in the morning.

"It turns out... The gray fog has already appeared. ”

Silently sighing, Rolda turned and walked to the right, where it was in the direction of the Wizard's Tower.

Not far away, on the paved path of blue-black stone bricks, there were several magic tools in the shape of rectangular boards, and Rolda did not hesitate and walked directly there.

Before coming to the magic equipment parking area, Rolda took out his identity badge and swept it on the total beam in front of the parking area, and after a ding, a magic board slowly slid out of the parking area along the cyan track.

Rolda stared at the magic board, his body unchanged, but his perception spread out towards his surroundings in an instant.

Sure enough, seeing that he was about to use his magic weapon, the black-robed man under the lamp pole suddenly moved towards him, and the door of a black stone house next to the street not far away also quietly opened, and a blonde woman put her hat on and walked here casually.

Seeing that the watcher hidden in the shadows was lured out by himself, Rolda was slightly surprised in his heart, and at the same time, a question suddenly appeared.

"Could it be in the dark?"

Thinking of this, Rolda was shocked, but his expression was still calm, just looking at the magic board that was sliding towards him.

Seeing the magic board slide to his feet, Rolda no longer hesitated, and stepped on the magic board directly, between the magic power input, this magic board emitted a faint black light, and at the same time suspended from the ground, Rolda's mind moved slightly, and the magic board took Rolda forward.

However, the speed is not fast, but it is maintained at a normal speed.

And the two monitors, seeing that Rolda had already advanced, hurriedly quickened their pace, activated the magic board one after another, and followed Rolda from a distance.

Rolda, however, seemed to be unaware, and just walked on his own.

Not long after, Rolda looked at the intersection that had already appeared in front of him, his attention became more concentrated, his body covered by the black robe was slightly tensed, and his spiritual power was quietly condensed into a spear in the sea of consciousness.
