Section 40. The rebirth of Mr. Victor

The Liberty City Mage Tower is currently one and a half floors in progress - it is expected that the second floor will be completed before the winter begins.

A one-story mage tower is like a tavern with only one waiter, so it's no wonder that Liberty City people and tourists call the mage tower a "stump."

Usually, the first floor of the mage tower will be used as a hall for reception, reception, and some basic magic knowledge will be placed in the small library in the corner so that the mage apprentices can understand magic, as well as business identification.

The Mage Tower in Liberty City is also arranged in this way - after all, neither the library, nor the laboratory, nor the meditation room are suitable for the gate.

So when the second floor was not completed, the mage here has been working in the mansion next door.

The workers who built the Mage Tower were more diligent than they were.

But today, all the mages gathered in the hall of the Mage Tower, which was a mess like a bazaar, and the sound of percussion could be heard from upstairs from time to time.

Clad in a moonlit robe, a barefoot Lilith entered through the gate in the eyes of the mages, followed by Ormedo and the guards carrying the heart of magic placed on the Mithril pedestal.

The mages' breathing began to grow heavy, especially the apprentices......

Don't underestimate the Magical Heart's increase in affinity. Even a tiny fraction of it can change the fate of many people.

The "Squib" has no chance to cast spells because of its poor affinity, and ordinary people who are obscure may be able to cast tricks because of this increased magical affinity.

Olmedo and Lilith faced the crowd: "I have one thing to say. ”

"I hope you don't forget that this is the reward that Annan won from the Great Wall of the North and the rat people. He didn't choose to put it by his side to improve his strength, but sent it back to Liberty City, put it in the Mage Tower, and let everyone use it. ”

"Thank you, Lord Annan......" the mages thanked at the same time.

Olmedo didn't continue. The halls were full of smart people, and they knew what they meant.

"Try meditation now."

The mages and impatient apprentices sat down on the ground and began to meditate, measuring for themselves how much the Heart of Magic had improved them.

The hall that was still in chaos just now suddenly returned to quiet, and even the movement from the second floor was much weaker.

Magical Hearts will change some of the status quo......

Professor's ...... Mr. Swaro attracted many mages, but with Mr. Swaro's departure, they would eventually leave.

But if the news that the Mage Tower has a magical heart spreads through the shopping street, the depressed mages and "Squibs" from all over Middle-earth will gather here.

While there is more than one Heart of Magic, many mage towers are available, such as the Mage Tower on Montreal Hill. But they don't qualify to be a part of those mage towers.

Liberty City is different—they all know that Liberty City has always been a good talker.

"You don't seem to be happy." In the midst of this, Lilith tilted her head and said to Olmedo.

"If you hear what Annan has to say, you will hardly be happy."

Lilith's eyes were inquiring.

Although she is a Taling, she is treated as a "person" rather than a tool, both in the former Asimov and in the current Liberty City.

This makes Lilith unsettling, but Annan feels good "emotion".

Olmedo smiled, "He asked me why the Heart of Magic only works in the Mage Tower. ”

"Because the structure of the Mage Tower is a perfect magic circuit made by ancient wizards by analyzing the principles of spell casting, which far exceeds that of all races, it can be regarded as a natural huge perfect magic life."

"That's how I answered, and he said, if we turn Liberty City into a large mage tower, will everyone be affected by the Heart of Magic?"

Lilith didn't speak, but Olmedo fully understood, and she was stunned longer than Lilith when she heard it: "So I'm like a worker who suddenly picked up a treasure chest when I just got the Heart of Magic, and it's hard to go back and continue to work as a coolie...... I can't be happier with the changes in the Mage Tower anymore. ”

"It's hard to ......"

Lilith came back to her senses, "We need to build a magic circuit that is as huge as a city, and we need to change it as Liberty City expands. ”

"It's harder than turning Liberty City into a floating city made of oralmost?"

Lilith didn't speak, they were about the same amount of difficulty - that is, if you have money, you can do it.

"Then the next time he opens the portal, I'll urge him to make more money."

Olmedo smiled and waved the guard to the library: "Find Mr. Victor and convey to him Annan's words, 'Let Old Man Victor go to the Mage Tower, maybe he can get out of the Squib'"

The loyal guard was about to speak, but stopped: "That's what Lord Annan said? ”

"Just convey it."

The guards had no reason not to trust the Vice-Lord of Olmedo, but out of love for Lord Annan, he slightly modified the words he wanted to convey after coming to the library:

"Mr. Victor, Lord Annan's arduous hunting of nezumi on the Great Wall of the North has finally found the heart of magic for you. He asked me to be the first to tell you. ”

Mr. Victor, who was wearing glasses, looked up and took a moment to understand what the guard was saying.

"Is he hurt?"

"Uh...... Lord Annan is fine. ”

"A city lord who neglects his duties, a warlock who doesn't learn anything!" Mr. Victor snorted, "What did you just say you found?" ”

"Heart of Magic, sir."

Victor shuddered and removed his glasses, causing the guards to worry if he would faint from overexcitement.

"Lindy, take me to the Mage's Tower—"

……

Victor was Annan's original guide, but as Annan grew up, he gradually became obscure.

So much so that many people in Liberty City are familiar with the people around Annan: the two deputy city lords, Francois, who likes women's clothes, and Mr. Fast, who endorses Fast pants, but they don't know who this priority old man who sits in the library all day and basks in the sun is.

Victor never mentions the past glory of being the "Top 100 Mage Apprentices of the Kingdom of Rikaner" - it's more like a handout to the losers.

Annan did not want Mr. Victor to ignite the second fire in his life: he was invited to be a professor at the school, but Victor refused.

No matter how smart a goblin is, he is also a goblin, would you recognize a goblin as a teacher?

Annan said "Martin will" at the time, and then was kicked out by Mr. Victor.

When Lindy pushed her wheelchair to the Mage Tower, the Mages were meditating in the hall.

"You should also find a place to meditate." Mr. Victor and Lindy waved.

"I'm with you."

"I don't need to!" The stubborn old man feigned anger and chased Lindy away, closing his eyes.

It had been so long that Victor had almost forgotten how to meditate, but when he found his form, he saw the magical elements that surrounded him like he had never seen before

The door of magic that had kept him out for more than fifty years quietly opened a crack......
