Her father told Iffie to let her go to the West with her teacher and go to the Western School of Magic.

Ife asked her father why she had been sent to school in the west so suddenly.

But instead of answering her question, her father stepped forward and touched her head, smiling at her kindly. Compared with my father's previous smile, this smile seemed very reluctant and made people feel weird.

"Go West...... Daddy, aren't you going with me? ”

"You go first, and I'll go later."

Although going to the magic school was something that Ifei had been longing for, and now it was finally happening, she felt inexplicably uneasy and flustered.

Whether it was because he had to go alone or because what he had been waiting for for was finally coming true, Ife didn't know why he had such a strange feeling.

Finally, that night, after a long period of distress, Ife got into the carriage bound for the port.

It was a cool autumn night, and the carriage was heading down a steep downhill road in the direction of the port.

Ever since she left home, Ife has had a strange feeling for no reason.

The feeling that if she left like this, something big would happen at home, and this feeling lingered in her mind.

She kept reassuring herself that she was a little excited to be away from home alone for the first time, but it didn't work.

"Hah."

Iffie sighed and told the coachman to turn around and go home.

She felt that she should not want to leave her father in her heart, so she would be like this.

On the way back to the mansion, Ife finally understands why she has been terrified.

She felt the power of magic stirring in the atmosphere.

The closer you are to home, the stronger the magic of the commotion.

Ifei looked out of the carriage at her mansion, where her father was still inside. She saw a powerful magic enveloping the house.

Syllable!

The magic gathered around the mansion instantly turned into flames, and the entire mansion was submerged in the center of the flames.

With the sound of explosions, flames shot into the sky, lighting up the night. The windows of the mansion were blown to pieces, and lime and dust were overwhelming.

"Daddy!"

Ife helped the frightened coachman pull the carriage, drew his wand and ran home.

By the time she reached the door, the gate had been engulfed in flames, and she couldn't get closer.

Ifei casts a spell with a magic wand and shoots a magic arrow through the gate.

The door revealed a hole just big enough for Ife to get into.

Ife ran inside, but the hall was filled with smoke.

The choking smoke made people unable to open their eyes, and tears blurred their vision.

The fire around it was getting louder and louder, and the smoke was suffocating.

The first priority is to find Dad.

"Daddy! Where are you? ”

Ife's shouts were drowned in smoke.

In the smoke-filled room, Ife couldn't make out the direction.

Estie judged the direction by the carpet and the remaining decorations on the walls, and groped her way inside.

“…… He violated the law and dared to fabricate ...... in order to depose the new king."

A voice from nowhere.

Ife hurried in the direction of the sound.

Following the direction from which the voice came, Ife came to her father's study.

My father sat on the floor in the middle of the study, breathing heavily.

"Daddy!"

"Yi ...... Filipino ......"

The father looked at Ifei with annoyance and complaint.

The look was blaming Ifei for not coming back.

"A sinner's daughter? Then, it is also an unforgivable sin. ”

The low and medium-low voice startled Ife.

A figure gradually appeared behind Ife.

A man dressed in black boots, a black cloak, and a black turban, his face covered with a black turban.

The man also held an evil magic wand that looked like it had fangs.

Above the staff in the man's hand, the magic began to condense.

Efie was mentally prepared to confront the man head-on with his staff in hand.

"Magic wand. It looks like that woman. ”

The man's cast speed is quite impressive.

Seems to be a very powerful magician.

Suddenly, hundreds of black needles flew towards Ife.

Ifi condensed the magic around her to form a wall to block the attack.

The wall blocked the flying black needles.

The man flicked his wand.

I saw that the black needle immediately turned around and concentrated on attacking one part of the magic wall.

A small crack appeared in Iphi's magic wall, and in an instant, the magic wall was broken and disappeared.

Yi Fei finally avoided the black needles flying from the front, and was scratched by the black needles in many places on his body, revealing blood marks.

By the time Ife came to his senses, the man was already preparing his luck to cast his next magic attack.

In order to distract the man, Iphi used her magic wand to ignite the flames in front of the man's eyes.

Harnessing the power of fire is the simplest form of magic.

The flames fueled by Ife climbed and disrupted the man's attention.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ifei cast a spell and attacked the man with a ball of fire.

In an instant, centered on the man's magic wand, the magic power quickly spread, forcing the surrounding air away.

I saw that the surrounding fire weakened instantly, and Ifei's flame ball disappeared without a trace.

The air was forced out of the air, and Ifei and her father felt breathless and couldn't breathe.

Ife struggled to prepare for the man's next attack, but she couldn't concentrate on her breathlessness.

The man was not affected in the slightest, looking down at the painful appearance of the father and daughter, with an evil smile on his face.

Around the man's magic wand, the magic power gathered again, and it began to summon black needles again.

"I'll send you to your mother in the same way."

Countless black needles flew towards Ife.

Finished.

Ife couldn't concentrate on building another magical wall to protect herself.

Ifei closed her eyes tightly in fear.

"Help!"

Ifei cried out inwardly.

There was a "bang", and between Yi Fei and the man, there was a heavy sound of metal falling to the ground.

"No!"

Hearing the man's panicked screams, Ifei quietly opened her eyes.

I saw that between the man and Ife, the miscellaneous items in the study gathered together, blocking the black needle.

There is a surge of energy around these clutters, and it is the elemental golem.

Using the surrounding items to gather into an elemental puppet in his own shape, he borrowed the miscellaneous items from the study and appeared.

The man saw such magic for the first time in his life and was completely stunned. At the same time, the elemental golem continued to gather more debris around it, and its body became stronger and stronger.

The man in black finally came to his senses and tried to escape, but it was too late.

Elemental golems will not spare anyone who threatens the life of their summoner.

The elemental golem used the large table as a fist and swung it at the man in black.

Hearing only a "click", the man in black was knocked into the air and crashed through the wall.

Not even a single scream was heard, and the man instantly lost his breath.

The elemental golem opened the way for Iphi to get outside, and Effie carried her father out of the house with difficulty.

Regardless of his own injuries, Ifei checked his father's injuries first.

My father was weaker than he was when he was in the study.

On his father's chest, his shirt stained red with blood had turned crimson, and his father's body was gradually getting colder.

Iphi tries to heal her father with all the magic she's learned.

However, no matter how hard Ife tried, he couldn't stop the Grim Reaper.

Ifei blamed herself for her incompetence and burst into tears.

Seeing that Ife blamed herself like this, her father kept stroking her head while comforting her and telling her that it was okay.

"Dad, you can't be fine."

"My daughter has grown up."

The father's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Ife clutched her father's hand.

Touching Ife's hand, he gradually lost his strength.

"Now you can live your life on your own terms."

Her father gave Iffie one last smile and died.

- This is a shrine that no one has been to for a long time.

Someone stepped into this forgotten temple, and a thick layer of dust was kicked up.

The stone statue of the goddess, whose wings have been shattered, welcomes the long-lost visitor with open arms.

The goddess watched as the maiden knelt down to herself. In front of the girl was a corpse.

The goddess looked at them and smiled coldly and lovingly.

The maiden knelt in prayer.

Pray to the Goddess to revive her father.

With uncontrollable tears, the girl prayed over and over again.

The goddess, who had lost her wings, could not do anything about it.

The goddess responded to the girl with a smile full of regret.

The girl still prayed.

She swore to the goddess that she would do anything to save her father.

But no matter what the maiden swore or prayed, the goddess who had lost her wings just watched her quietly.

"So you're here."

The person who came to the temple to find Iffie was Iffie's teacher, and she couldn't wait for Iffie at the port.

When he heard that Efe's house was on fire, he followed the trail and found it.

The teacher was extremely calm when he saw the body of Ife's father.

Quietly walked up to pay a silent tribute to Ife's father.

"I promised your father to take you to the Tower of the Red Moon."

The teacher spoke quietly, and took off his coat and put it on for Ife.

The wind was cool.

It was a cold wind blowing from the east of the continent.

The wind blew away Ife's thoughts, and she thought that if she left here now, she would never come back.

Ifi looked up at the teacher.

The corners of her eyes were covered with tears, and her closed lips trembled slightly.

It's not easy to smile like a father.

"I'll go with you. I'm going to the Tower of the Red Moon. ”

Then, Ephie entrusted her father to the goddess and turned and left the temple.

The Tower of the Red Moon is the most famous mage training school and magical research institution in the Western Continent.

It is not only a school for teaching magic, but also a place for analyzing existing magical principles, recovering ancient magic, and developing new ones.

It can be said that all magic originated in the Tower of the Red Moon, and many famous magicians in the history of magic were trained by the Tower of the Red Moon.

As long as you can complete all the courses in the Tower of the Red Moon, it is already a high honor in the wizard world, which is equivalent to a promotion like a fish leaping into the dragon gate.

As long as you have a certificate of completion from the Tower of the Red Moon, you can work in the Knights or the Wizards' Guild, and maybe even have the opportunity to become an advisor to the nobles or the royal family, and you can get glory and wealth at your fingertips.

"After leaving the Tower of the Red Moon, I want to travel the world, and I want to heal the world."

When Ife, who had completed all of her courses with honors, said that she was going to travel the world, everyone in the Tower of the Red Moon was amazed.

Everyone who knew Effie came to persuade her to change her obsession.

Everyone told her that she could start a bigger business with her skills, and that it was not too late to change her mind.

But Ife's will is incomparably strong.

She wants to give hope to those who are on the brink of death.

Effie left the Tower of the Red Moon and got into the carriage bound for Rochester.

From then on, the freest person in the world was herself.

Ifei sat in the carriage that left the Tower of the Red Moon, and a big smile bloomed in her heart.
