Severton, also known as the "City of the Seven Towers".

Named after the seven towers in the city that contain magical powers, these seven towers are not the only magical towers in the city, but they represent the seven groups of Nessrael's origins.

Among them, the Gilles Tower, where the Naiser family is located, is the most majestic.

Although the name of the empire is Nessreel, for some unspeakable reasons, the power represented by the Nesser family, and even the Gilles Tower, is not the strongest, if not the weakest.

The Seven Towers divide the "City of the Seven Towers" into two, with the old town to the north and the old town to the south, and the new town to the south.

The Seven Towers represent the vast majority of Nessrael's lords, arcanists, mages, and even temple clergy.

But wherever there are people, there is strife and cooperation, and the forces of the Seven Towers are neither incompatible nor intimate, and they need a place for mutual balance.

And so there was an empire.

In fact, the New Town is the heart of Nessrael, with the Council of Lords, the Arcane Federation, the Temple, the Elven Embassy, and so on.

Old Town.

The Gilles Tower stands on the edge of the city, next to the narrow sea to the north, and beneath the tower is a large complex of uniform silver-white buildings, with several low mage towers scattered among them.

Although these mage towers are relatively low compared to the Gilles Towers, they stand out from the crowd compared to ordinary buildings. And in the very center of all the buildings is a palace in the style of the elves.

Elegant in appearance, extraordinary in decoration, and faintly flashing with magical brilliance.

At this time, in the palace living room, a woman with a heroic temperament and extraordinary appearance was sitting on the main seat, staring at the white-haired old man below.

Although the seats were divided into priorities, there was no arrogance in the eyes of the superiors, but some admiration, "Teacher, is Gustav still unwilling to agree?" ”

The old man sighed and said helplessly, "The color scroll has already lost them, and they don't believe everything I say at all. ”

A hint of hesitation flashed in the superior's eyes, but he quickly became firm again, "I can do it without them, the totem that Oron brought back last time was very inspiring to me, and I decided to test it out at this year's Moon Festival." ”

"Nope! Thea! The old man's expression suddenly became a little frightened, "Don't offend God!" ”

Hearing the teacher's tone, Xiya was also a little curious, "Teacher, are you-"

"It's not me, it's a student of a friend of mine."

At the mention of this person, the old man was very emotional, "I think that at the beginning, he became a great arcanist at a young age, and he had a great future, but because he offended the gods, he was exiled, and it has become a taboo since then. ”

"Teacher, what you're talking about—"

"It's him, and the totem pole you got should be his."

A look of surprise appeared on Thea's face, "Teacher, isn't it rumored that he died in the exploration of the Alternate Plane?" ”

"How is this possible? It's just that there were very few people who knew about it at the beginning, only my old friend knew, and even I only knew about it in recent years, don't spread it, you know? ”

"But teacher, isn't that one dead? Why don't you let me try? ”

"Life is better than death, and a hundred years are wasted, are you willing?" The old man continued to persuade, "Ordinary people have tempers when they are offended, let alone gods? ”

Listening to the teacher's constant dissuasion, Xiya was very disappointed, "In this case, isn't it an offense to the gods when mortals ascend to God?" ”

"I can't judge this either, after all, except for the elves themselves, none of us know the consequences of mortal ascension, and even the so-called ascension ceremony may be a hoax."

After that, the old man sighed again, "Xiya, I think you should be cautious, you are the most gifted of all my students, and I don't want you to have an accident." ”

"Teacher, don't worry, I know the severity. I've never believed in elves, it's all from my heart. ”

Thea's tone was unusually firm, and between her words, the magical light in the palace echoed it, as if she approved of her choice.

Seeing that Thea was resolute, the old man stopped admonishing, got up from his seat, held the staff suspended on one side, grabbed it, and said:

"In that case, I went to Gustav one more time, hoping to win their support. Don't forget that Nessera is the only blood left with you, so be careful. ”

After saying that, the figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely.

After the teacher left, Xiya suddenly leaned on her seat weakly and whispered, "But I can't continue the bloodline because of the experimental accident!" And the curse of the family, if God doesn't help me, then I will become a god myself! ”

Eventually, the voice grew muffled, and the light in the living room dimmed.

……

Southern Empire, Savile Territory.

It's the end of the month, and during this time, Xia Duo is very busy, learning group exchanges, Q&A meetings for ordinary apprentices, physical training, borrowing books to replenish reserves, researching 1-ring spells, and so on.

He's either busy every day, or he's on his way to get busy.

The orchard in the Arcane Garden, the spell laboratory on the library floor, the transcription room, the dormitory, and the dining hall are basically the "four points and one line", and they are constantly circulating.

Today is the day for Donald to apply for the assessment, in fact, before today, Donald could have applied for the assessment, but I don't know for some reason, it has been delayed until now.

Tomorrow is the last full moon of the year (the full moon at the end of the month or the beginning of the month), the last great festival of the year, which marks the arrival of winter and the day of people to pay tribute to the dead.

On this day, even ordinary apprentices can get a day off and go home to pay tribute to their deceased relatives.

Returning home as a regular apprentice can be more comforting to the family than going home as a regular apprentice.

"Donald, do you have the confidence to pass?"

On the public floor, outside the apprentice assessment room, a worker from the Arcane Garden asked, with envy in his eyes, Of the more than twenty ordinary apprentices in the Arcane Garden, only Donald applied for the assessment today.

Thinking about his relationship with Xia Duo and the constant questioning these days, the worker was thoughtful.

At this time, although Donald was still a little nervous, in front of the workers, he didn't show a single thing, but said with great confidence, "No problem, I am already very proficient in the [Repair Technique]!" ”

"Then congratulations in advance on passing the assessment!"

"Thanks, I'm in."

As soon as the door of the assessment room closed, no one knew what would happen inside, but all the workers who came with them looked at the door expectantly, hoping to get a good result.

After all, it will also be the result of their people!
