Colin remembered how long he had been in the room, and when he felt hungry, he realized that he was already sitting on the floor.

Looks like dinner must have been missed.

He remembered where Roman Sagan had left and easily found the door to his room.

Nervously, he opened the door and poked his head out.

He thought that if it was already night, he would simply go back and stay until dawn to save himself the trouble of others.

The outside of the room is larger than the inside, but there is not much light, and a large column can be faintly seen in the middle, and a circle of stairs spirals upward.

Colin soon realized that this was supposed to be the middle part of the Mage Tower.

"That's what it looks like inside." Collin, who had entered the Mage Tower for the first time, was very curious and cautious about his observations.

The so-called Mage Tower, from the outside, is roughly equal to a huge chimney, large at the bottom and small at the top. Colin, who was obviously located on the first floor, could feel that the area at the bottom of Roman Sagan's mage tower was no smaller than the playground of the academy, and the rooms distributed around it were layered upwards and not high.

The staircase that spirals around the giant pillars leads to the room one by one, and when viewed from below, it has a futuristic industrial feel.

Colin's first reaction turned out to be: it must have cost a lot of money to build this tower.

In the midst of his thoughts, he heard a gentle female voice behind him:

"This mage tower was built 46 years ago by His Majesty the King especially for the teacher, and it is said that it cost a whole county a year's tax revenue at that time."

Colin turned his head sharply, and saw a woman in a large black magic robe standing quietly behind him, her gaze suddenly falling back to show that she had looked up like Colin before.

"Hello, Colin."

The woman smiled kindly: "If Mr. Garr didn't make a spelling mistake, your last name should be Vane, right?" ”

"Ah...... Yes. Colin was stared at by the other party's clear and flawless eyes, and greeted him with some unnatural eyes: "Hello ......"

He didn't know what to call the other party for a while, although this should be the other disciple mentioned by the teacher, but if it was wrong, it would be really embarrassing.

Fortunately, the other party quickly smiled and introduced himself:

"My name is Tessa, and I am the first disciple of the teacher, you can call me Tessa directly, or you can call me Senior Sister according to the custom of the classical magic period."

"Hello, senior sister." Colin hurried to salute.

In fact, the word "senior sister" was a proper noun in the classical magic period, at first referring to all female magicians of higher rank than themselves, and then slowly evolved into the meaning of the same family, but because it retains the habits of the classical period, the affix of this word is very long, and it is more difficult and troublesome to pronounce in colloquial language, so in modern times, many magicians have given up using it.

Maybe there is not so much attention in this world, but I and other people who travel through the country of etiquette really can't accept being called by their names among the same door, especially such an elegant temperament, beautiful and quiet senior sister.

Well, Roy's words in this regard are consistently vivid and apt.

"The teacher asked me to take you through the environment first, but I think you should need food more now, how about a juicy steak with baked potatoes?" Tessa looked at the new junior brother and smiled.

When Collin, who was already hungry, heard these two words, he instantly felt a cramp in his stomach, and hurriedly nodded eagerly, and then said politely:

"I'm really bothering you, senior sister, you should have all had dinner."

Tessa looked at him with a little surprise, then smiled:

"The teacher once said that in order to go further on the road of magic, you must be able to endure loneliness and have the concentration that ordinary people do not have, and this is true."

"Huh?" Colin didn't understand what he meant.

"If you come out two minutes early, you can hear the sound of the clock tower in the city...... It's 3 p.m. the next day, and you've missed not only yesterday's dinner, but also today's breakfast and lunch. ”

"Huh?" Colin was momentarily stunned, he thought that he had only been in the room for a few hours, and it turned out that a whole day had passed.

Strong concentration is indeed a good thing, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to starve to death.

And I missed three meals, which was a bloody loss.

Tessa seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled gently: "It seems that the junior brother needs two steaks and potatoes?" ”

"Uh-huh." Colin nodded unceremoniously.

……

……

Dipping the potatoes in the last bit of sauce in his mouth, Colin let out a long breath.

He had never eaten such delicious food "in his life".

In this world of dark cuisine, it is not easy to eat such delicious things, the taste and deliciousness of the steak are not inferior to the Western food eaten in the previous life, the only drawback is that the level of the sauce is not rich enough, obviously the variety of spices is not enough.

Thinking that the spices of this world are comparable to the price of gold, to eat such a meal outside is estimated to make Roy go to the Moulin Rouge ten times less.

"Madame Muller's skills are among the best in all of Thunder City, but the intensity of her use of spices is such that many nobles dare not hire her."

As Tessa spoke, she carefully handed over a handkerchief and motioned for Colin to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth.

Colin glanced at the white, scented handkerchief, shook his head resolutely, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

Tessa retracted the veil and smiled: "You stayed up all night last night, but I don't recommend going to bed immediately, it's better to hold on for a while and wait until dusk to sleep, so that the day and night will not be reversed, take advantage of this time, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here." ”

"I'm sorry for you, senior sister."

Coming out of the "restaurant" on the ground floor, Tessa led him up the tower floor by floor.

In fact, although the magic tower is magnificent, its structure is very simple, nothing more than a large chimney built around the room.

Colin had never walked such a high staircase, and it was already a little difficult to climb six floors, but when he looked up, he still couldn't see the top.

Suddenly, he felt a lightness on his body, and a stream of air pushed him up, and he immediately became much more relaxed.

I heard Tessa say: "Senior brother doesn't know magic yet, and it's really a bit difficult to walk so much." ”

"Thank you, senior sister." Colin, who knew that it was Tessa who helped him, hurriedly thanked him.

I can't remember how many floors I walked, but even with the help of Tessa's wind magic, Colin gradually couldn't bear it.

Finally, Tessa stopped.

"The Magic Tower has a total of twenty-five floors, the top floor is the teacher's bedroom, study and laboratory, and below is the room and training room of the Glenn Knight, I live on the twenty-third floor, Mrs. Muller lives on the twenty-first floor, the twenty-second floor is the servant's room, and the twenty-second floor is reserved for you."

I live downstairs with my sister?

Not bad.

But who is Glenn Knight?

Why can you get so close to the teacher?

Colin didn't ask immediately, but followed Tessa on his way.

"This is Mrs. Müller's room." As Tessa spoke, she knocked on a room door.

It was only then that Colin realized that on each floor of the passage connecting the staircase and the corridor outside the room, there was a number of floors, and this was exactly the twenty-first floor.

The door opened.

An almost spherical body squeezes out of the jamb.

"Oh, little Tessa, you must have brought that little junior brother to see me."

A short, fat middle-aged woman circled her little short legs and greeted her, and said in a very enthusiastic tone:

"I really didn't guess wrong, the master's new disciple, except for being as thin as little Tessa, is simply a standard young gentleman."

Colin looked at his typical civilian attire, and his figure, which was not fat but not thin, and could not see where he looked like an emaciated gentleman.
