The rain was still falling, and the whirring wind and the occasional thunder intertwined with discordant scales, as if the academy had been reduced to an island in the wind and rain.

In the raging wind and rain, the walls and ceiling of Yinyao Pagoda and the air in the city were stained with unpleasant moisture, which was undoubtedly the effect of the protracted rainstorm. The mages were on the move, and the already difficult repair work was made even more tricky in the bad weather.

Boom Boom

Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in Lizzie's ears, and it seemed that lightning had fallen on the nearby wilderness, and the electric light that shone so brightly that even the bright electric lights in the Silver Tower were disgraced. Not only the eardrums, but also the ground beneath their feet trembled at the sudden thunder.

I hope that there will be no collateral disasters...... Lizzie turned her head and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows around her at the messy academy. In the heavy rain curtain, several figures in dark blue waterproof robes could be vaguely seen moving in the rain, but unfortunately it was too far away from here for Lizzie to see who they were, let alone what these people were doing, and the rain curtain became the best shelter at this time.

Maybe it's the academy guards checking the effects of the landmines...... In the wind and rain, they have to run desperately, it is really hard for them. Judging by the sound, the lightning bolt was probably enough to turn a hut to pieces in an instant, and if it landed on a building in need of repair, it would be even worse.

Originally, Lizzie thought that the rain clouds were exchanged for the magic that escaped after she cast the spell, but when the storm lasted for a week, she had to admit that it was an extremely unusual situation. Although the magic gathered by that spell reached the level of "Scourge". But not so severe as to cause such a strict impact.

Originally, it would have taken a lot of power to change the phenology of nature with the technology mastered by humans. Even Lizzie, who calls herself a "humanoid scourge", will be powerless when the spell is lifted. If she wanted to lead the ensuing storm, she would probably be asleep for several days.

Thinking irresponsibly, perhaps it was after the Eye of True Sight used spells to create a great mess, and then consumed a large amount of free magic through her hands, which eventually caused the natural magic around Rutrice to show an abnormal imbalance. If so, it is not impossible to induce a series of anomalies.

But what the truth is, there is no way to find out without careful investigation...... The storm came so suddenly. It will never be just a "natural" phenomenon.

With a sigh, Lizzie continued to walk towards the position Jon had conveyed, the "Wind of the Twelve" who served as the head of the house was waiting in front of her journey. Take a look around. Only a corridor made of white building materials stretched straight forward, and the feeling of discomfort lingered in Lizzie's heart.

Of course, a large part of the discomfort is due to the inability to adapt to the décor. Not only does the exterior of the Silver Tower shine with a silver glow, but even the interior is made of a lot of building materials of a similar style. The white color here is too uncomfortable for Lizzie.

Especially this corridor. It's blindingly white.

It was thought that Cruise François had asked her to go to his personal studio, but she only noticed that this was not the case when she actually walked up the circular corridor in the middle of the Silver Tower. The long, narrow corridor with a good view seems to lead to a place that is not open to ordinary people.

"Please come with me, Dean François is waiting for you. ”

The entrance is behind what looks like a lounge, and both the main door and the hallway are filled with mages dressed in civilian clothes. Even Liqi, who was summoned by Dean François, was only able to be led down the corridor by the young man in a black suit in front of her after her identity was confirmed.

He may have been a young faculty member who could be seen everywhere in the Catrice Academy, but judging by his posture as he walked, he looked like a well-trained soldier. Even though it wasn't clear, Lizzie felt the coercion of a skilled wizard emanating from him.

If you want to fight him. There is no doubt that it will be a tricky enemy. He may not be as skilled in his spells as his peers as the True Eye, but the trained "professional" aura is unmatched by terrorists who only know how to destroy.

Even if it's from behind. It wasn't necessarily possible to stop the youth from passing on dangerous information before restricting his movements...... What's more, there are several companions walking "casually" in this corridor. With such strict precautions, what kind of place is ahead?

Not knowing that he was being stared at with an evaluative gaze by the girl behind him, the young man in black was still fulfilling his task: "Miss Leinster, please go this way." If you wish, I can lead you on an inside tour of the place once things are settled. ”

If you're in the mood, it's a place worth sightseeing, and you'll be stunned by all the decorations in the museum. The stone pillars on the walls are all decorated with majestic sculptures, and the surrounding qiē is as neat and luxurious as a corner of a high-class clubhouse.

The floors are covered with dark carpets, the smooth walls are decorated with paintings of different styles, and the corners are either large sculptures or large foliage plants. From the corners of the walls to the ceiling, everywhere is the necessary means of decoration.

Leinst's family was not wealthy, but Lizzie still couldn't stand this kind of ostentatious decoration. Even the slum boys, who had nothing to do with wealth, could tell at a glance that the sand and lighting fixtures in those rooms were precious products made of high-quality materials, and even worse, there was a bar in the middle of a room that he had just passed by, and there was a large number of unnamed liquors on display.

And after all, this is the most central stronghold of the academy, and of course, there are not only luxury high-end products stored here. Through the glossy decorative surface, Liqi can clearly feel the rhythm of the magic.

Presumably, they were all defensive Rubik's Cubes and magic networks, and the number of Lizzie observations alone was already so large that it was difficult to measure the density carefully. It is worthy of being a building known as the "legacy of the Silver Dragon King", and it may be a natural disaster designation that collides head-on, and this tower may not be shaken in the slightest.

The young wizard who walked in front of him seemed to be accustomed to this place, as if he was walking in his own home. But this is a little uncomfortable for Lizzie, it is not that she has not been to places with noble decorations, but she can't stand the air anyway.

"The first time I came here, I thought, 'Wow, how much are these things worth?' Just when Liqi felt uncomfortable because of the environment, the young man in charge of leading the way suddenly explained with a wry smile, "But when I think that this is the property accumulated by the academy, I feel that I must work hard to protect this place, not only the 'inheritance of the Silver Dragon King', but also the people who live and study on this land." ”

If you are high, you will be responsible.

This was once an obligation of the aristocracy, but now that the commoner class is gradually emerging in the superstructure, these words have been given a broader meaning. The young man may have been one of François's subordinates, and he naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities as he had more status than the average wizard.

"Ah, is that so...... Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for the fact that the big commotion was resolved some time ago. If it weren't for your full resistance, we young men with little strength would have been hospitalized by now - no, it could have been worse than that. ”

There was an inexplicable sense of nostalgia for the young man's words, and Lizzie provoked an embarrassed smile on her face. She didn't forget that she had also destroyed a small part of the "valuables" that the young man wanted, although the outbreaks and results were indeed good.

Of course, it is impossible to avoid these "accidental losses" in battle, at least even if you sell all of Curt and Lizzie's wealth, you may not be able to afford to lose. But just counting the tower, plus the vegetation destroyed when the spell went on a rampage, made Lizzie's eyebrows twitch.

"No, with the power we have now...... It's not enough. The young man's voice became a little muffled, and he turned his back to Lizzie, so the girl couldn't see his expression at this time, "If you want to be in ...... The existence of that kind of thing protects this academy, even the dean ......"

Not enough...... So what kind of Cheng dù must be strong to be considered "enough"? Liqi couldn't help but almost throw the question at the youth. She was curious about what kind of Cheng Dù had been taken seriously by the attack of the Eye of True Vision and the "natural disaster" she had created with her magical power.

But alas, the young man realized that he had said something he should not have said, and immediately interrupted half of his speech. Not wanting to make him unnecessarily wary, Lizzie stopped asking the question - after all, she was now just an ordinary apprentice summoned by the Dean.

"Well, I think I've already told you what I should say, and it's up to you to believe it or not. So then, allow me to leave. ”

Suddenly, the silver-carved metal door at the end of the passage opened, and a woman swam out leisurely - the huge red snake body gently swept across the ground with a rustling ....... Half-human, half-snake, Hermia sneered and swam out of the hall behind the door.

The moment she saw Lizzie, her smile stiffened for a moment, and then she swam past her and the young man without any reaction.

It seems that things are more "important" than I expected

Lizzie looked at the door in front of Hermia, and in a large reception room, there were already a dozen men and women dressed in different styles. There were people who knew and didn't know, and everyone had a thoughtful expression, and it seemed that the information provided by Hermia had caused a lot of repercussions.

In the midst of this group of people with different expressions, Curt looked at Lizzie with a smile on his face. (To be continued!)
