The ivy-white marble walls have been washed away by years of rain and turned yellow like the cheeks of an old and decrepit middle-aged woman, although it is proud to have a hundred years of history, but after all, it is short of those newly built magic towers, because the building did not have any plans for artificial magic nets at the beginning, and the old-fashioned magic towers that lacked this consideration at the beginning of the design had to be hung on the outside of the magic wires made of enchanted metal wires to transport magic power.

"It's really shabby......"

Although Nagi had been given the address for a long time, the one he had never visited here for various reasons was Professor Dewen's residence. Ancient magic studies, a more unpopular discipline in the academy than alchemy, has only one professor appointed in the past dynasties, and there is no special tutor and assistant under it, a veritable professor of light poles, and the magic tower that they have passed down from generation to generation is now in the hands of this young successor.

"You can't say that~"

The owner of the magic tower seems to have long been aware of Nagi's arrival, and before Nagi stepped forward to knock on the door, a melodious voice came into Nagi's ears first, and the sound was transmitted through the air, a practical little arcane, generally speaking, it is very useful for cheating in exams.

"I'm busy right now, just come in by yourself, Martina will entertain you for me. ”

The owner of the voice didn't seem to welcome Nagi's visit, but just threw down a sentence so casually that he didn't even show his face and didn't squeak.

"Cut, we're not here to find you, self-proclaimed amorous stupid, dead literate. ”

Devon and Nagi are acquaintances, but their relationship is not very harmonious, and if it weren't for Martina's constant living with him, the mentor, Nagi wouldn't have come to his turf. Speaking of which, Dewen isn't a bad guy either, however, there is always a lingering haze in his eyes, which makes Nagi feel very uncomfortable.

Driven by the energy of the arcane, the door of the magic tower was opened inward little by little, and the cold air on his face made Nagi shiver, and the magic tower was like an ice cellar, and the water vapor that was quickly liquefied by the hot air outside the door turned into a thick white mist that completely enveloped Nagi.

"What the hell!"

Even if the weather is still a little hot and dry now, but the temperature here is inevitably too low, Nagi even wondered if Martina was okay and went to the north to catch a frost wurm and put it in his own room to cool down, he was still sweating a little hot in his larger robe, but after just stepping into this old magic tower, Nagi instantly felt that he should wear more.

"Anyone, at least turn on the lights, Soul Fade!"

In the complete darkness of the environment,Nagi groped his way up the spiral staircase with the slight light lit up by the fire technique on his fingertips.,After saying those two sentences, Dewen didn't give Nagi any response as if the world had evaporated.,Nagi walked up the stairs slowly.,But my heart is getting more and more empty.,It's really a ghost.,Nagi is not afraid at all.,You're like Anvina Although it's a ghost.,But people are cute.。 But this atmosphere of fear is completely defenseless, in the dark world where you can't see your fingers, the temperature of your hair standing on end because of the close to freezing, the breath of life is not at all, no matter what you say, you can't get a response, and you climb up the staircase that seems to be endless, where is the end, where is the exit? Or there is no exit at all.

"Hey, hey, Martina, you're nearby, don't make jokes like this kid with us!

Nagi coaxed. This feeling of loneliness and nothingness suddenly invaded the weakest part of her heart, so scared, that feeling should not be experienced once.

"Now, you're coming out, Martina, Devin, Angela, anyone, do you want to sing a song together, that, how about the two tigers, it's easy, we can teach you, huh?"

However, there was no response. Nagi poked her head out from the handrail of the staircase, looking down as if she were in a bottomless abyss, but looking up, it was as if she saw a reflection in the water, still deep and endless darkness......

"Ahhh

Tearing out her voice and singing childish nursery rhymes, Nagi swings her stiff body like a machine, and rushes upwards quickly at a speed between running and walking.

"A wood has eyes~ a wood has, wood has that, that~"

Even such a simple song has forgotten the words because of nervousness?Singing the nursery rhyme over and over again as if fast-forwarding, Nagi, who was completely out of tune, waved his arms and rushed straight up with a face that could hit ten points of beauty.

Eventually, at the end of the staircase, Nagi finally saw a half-hidden door, and a faint orange-red fire peeked through the gap between the door and the door frame, illuminating the white== pink wall.

"Run fast, ahh

Pushing open the half-hidden wooden door hard, Nagiba, who was running too fast and didn't see the road at all, fell face to the ground with a sigh.

"Well, no, is it okay?"

Walking in from the room with the freshly brewed black tea, she found Nagi lying motionless on the ground as if she were the scene of the crime, and Martina's face showed a subtle expression.

"Aha

In the small dark room at the top of the tower,Professor Dewen, who has never been smiling, rolled over on the ground with his stomach in his arms.,Although I almost wanted to explain a few words to Nagi in the middle.,But in the end, my own pleasure ♂ ** still overcame his own reason.,The whole process of watching Nagi's own scare himself half to death Not only did he not only be happy for a long time.,By the way, he also used the magic image to record the whole process of Nagi's high-energy stairs in the crystal ball.。

"Really, why are the stairs so long, so dark, so cold!"

Wrapped in the blanket Martina had brought her, Nagi curled up by the fireplace like a wounded little animal, complained loudly in an aggrieved voice.

"Because it's an old-fashioned magic tower, the design concept is also old-fashioned, and the space below was originally arranged for the servants, retinues and guards living in the magic tower, and it is indeed an indispensable help for magicians who live alone outside, but for the professors of the academy, those things are not necessary at all, so all the rooms on the lower floor were abandoned, leaving only the most spacious upper floor for a few of us to live in. ”

Sitting cross-legged next to Nagi, while sipping steaming black tea, Martina, who was explaining to Nagi, comforted her back and was still a little trembling, really like coaxing a child.

"As for why it's so dark and cold, I'll have to ask that guy. ”

Gently patting Nagi's head and pointing in the direction behind Nagi, Martina said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"Who?"

Nagi turned her head suspiciously, and appeared in sight, just like herself in the mirror, a girl with silver hair and red eyes.

"Hmph, long time no see!"

Smiling and revealing her two sharp fangs, pretending to be very handsome but far away from the two by the fireplace, Ellie, Miss Vampire, who came to the academy like a mystery, appeared in front of Nagi again.
