Immediately behind Cruise François, Curt entered his personal study room.

Rather than being a room in the tower, this "personal study room" is more like a separate building embedded in the Silver Tower. If you look at it from the outside, it's hard to imagine a door leading to a room that could be bigger than the lobby of the Southwind Tavern.

This is supposed to be a corner of the main tower of the Silver Shine Tower, and the design of the ceiling allows those who are inside to look up and see the night sky full of stars from the fountain-like decoration. In the center of the room is a large spiral staircase with a gentle slope, which spirals upwards to connect the many rooms.

It was indeed a large hall - too large for a single person to use a research room, and it seemed a little extravagant.

Under the casual guidance of Cruise François, Curt walked through the marvelous painted tiles and then slowly ascended the wrought-iron spiral staircase, painted black. The hall below him resembles a small, well-tended garden.

From the old Big 6 to the dark Big 6, there are also magical items that I got out of nowhere and are placed all over the hall. Never-before-seen plants are thriving, and many animals that can only be seen in the illustrated book are kept in cages or paced leisurely in the area designated for them to live.

The more you go up the cold wrought iron staircase, the more pronounced this feeling becomes. Looking around, a small gravity-defying platform floats, and fluorite lamps are placed on top of it to provide light for the lab. In several rooms located in the depths, you can also see the sorcerers who are busy researching.

In one corner, the table is filled with young people who are working, old people searching between the shelves, and half-naked old people meditating in a small pool. In this space, the occupants are all immersed in various matters related to the study of spells.

And between these areas, there are also many luxuriant and exotic trees growing vigorously, gently swaying with the breeze that comes from nowhere. The birds hidden in the trees chirp pleasantly, and from time to time you can see one or two rare beasts flying out of the shadows of the trees.

"Shall I say that it is the personal research room owned by the dean of the college? These collections are not things that can be easily obtained from formal channels. Lizzie didn't follow Curt, but she could still see the decorations displayed in the hall through Curt's eyes.

It's a space filled with an unimaginable atmosphere, and even Lizzie can't help but marvel at these incalculable collections.

"Don't you think it's a wonderful room?" said Cruise François, who was walking in front of him, as he walked around a corner, perhaps feeling the exclamation, "and that's not surprising - that's what I thought when I first entered this room." ”

Back then?

Curt didn't speak, just looked at him in silence.

Cruise Francois, who was puzzled by Curt, laughed: "Because you're not from the Academy, it's possible that you don't know." This room, the Xi Research Room, does not belong to 'me' as an individual, but to the identity of 'Dean of the Catrice Academy'. Not all of the collectibles left here are mine, most of them are left behind by my ancestors who served as deans before me. ”

As if he were reminiscing about the past, he spoke in a nostalgic tone about the history of the laboratory and the origin of the things that were placed everywhere. When successive directors inherited the laboratory, they would add their own collections to the original collection, and eventually the room became a museum full of wonderful objects

While listening to Cruise François's introduction, the two of them walked up the spiraling staircase. After seeing a lot of things, I finally reached the third floor on the top floor, and after stepping out of the spiral staircase, I came to a room that looked like a reception room.

In the past, most of the zài in the hall were natural objects or collectibles, but in this reception room, Curt was greeted by many zài filled with more magical atmosphere.

The ceiling gets closer, and the starlight that leaks through the decorative rooms of the zenith spills in, creating a sparkling space. Many of the "rare" things that had been seen before were magnified here, and traces of the continuous operation of spell items could be seen everywhere.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the college, and the ceiling is hung by a cold green light that wraps around the vines, and the red and purple dried petals scattered on the ground give off a faint fragrance. The main wooden structure of the living rooms is in the style of a jungle wooden house.

Curt saw several bookcases full of tomes and a traditional Northern style chest carved with a petal-like pattern that had never been seen before. On the small cat's foot table in the corner, the paper for copying and the books that have not yet had time to be put away form a small mountain.

It seems that in addition to being used as a reception room, it was also used by Cruise François himself. Here, the flow of time seems to be changed, and space seems to be forcibly distorted by magic. A feeling of floating in the gap between time in the unknown place and other side arises spontaneously.

"You may be seated, Mr. Leonster. Led Curt to sit down at the table in the center of the reception room, Cruise François greeted Curt warmly, "There is no need to be restrained, although my friends are still in use in this laboratory, the sound in this reception room will not be transmitted to the outside world." ”

With that, he clapped his hands, and almost instantly, there was a pot of steaming tea on the carved wooden coffee table next to the table. An invisible hand poured the tea into the prepared cup and gently delivered it to Curt and him, who were sitting across from him.

He picked up the teacup and sniffed it very elegantly, took a sip before saying to Curt: "This is the tea that a friend of mine brought from the big northern country, which is very good for the body." Please try it, Mr. Leinster, I think you'll like it too. ”

This guy's movements are still so boundless, and the steady light revealed in his slightly closed eyes is as smooth as the creatures that have existed in the world since ancient times. As he drank tea, he looked flawed all over his body, but Curt could clearly feel the air around him guarding him.

Although bothered by the fact that he could not find out his intentions, Curt did not think that Cruise François, as a man of status, would have conspired against him. So he casually picked up the teacup filled with the warm amber liquid and took a small sip.

Suddenly, a sweet and bitter taste spread in his mouth—it was one thing whether the tea was good for his body or not, but he felt that it was not very good as a drink.

"So, I don't think you're going to sue me for letting me come here just to invite me to tea?" Suppressing the trembling taste that still lingered on the tip of his tongue, Curt still asked a little unserious, "What was the commission you mentioned before, can you please explain it now?"

"I'm really anxious, I remember you weren't very interested in my commission?" Cruise François chuckled as he placed his half-drunk teacup on the table, "I wanted to start with the 'Flare' explosion that you were interested in before." ”

He cares about it like this, and his attitude makes people can't help but be impatient.

"Public is public and private is private. It was too much effort to talk to such a person, and Curt couldn't help but sigh as he spoke: "If it was before, I was really interested in the explosion of the 'Flare'. But I think it's time for us to talk about commissioning. ”

Cruise François laughed with satisfaction at Curte's remarks.

"Sure enough, it's a professional mercenary, and I like the expression on your face when you say, 'Public is public or private'. In that case, let us speak of the 'commission' - Mr. Leinster, what do you think of the exaltation of sorcery and magic over the past century?"

What do you think of the exhibition of these things?

Curt didn't know why he would ask such a question, and was silent for a while before he said, "I think it's a good sign, the spell items that used to be concentrated in the upper class now have some that can be used by civilians like us. Moreover, the popularization of magic education after the reform of magic science has made this knowledge no longer a symbol of nobility and honor as in the past, but a power to make life more convenient. ”

Curt's statement may only be a general statement, but the exhibition of magic and magic is indeed changing people's lives.

Fluorite lamps, once reserved for the upper class, have spread to even the poorest households, and vehicles equipped with steam engines have changed the way people travel. Railways were already connected between major cities, and the Empire was even planning new powered ships with steam engines.

Such a life would have been unimaginable a century ago.

It may not be the right answer in the true sense of the word, but Cruise François is satisfied with Curt's answer.

He clapped his hands and said, "That's right, I think you should be the ones who can feel the change in this world the most." After all, it would have been impossible for your sister to enter the academy nearly a hundred years ago—in a time when sorcery was only the preserve of certain people. ”

In response to his applause, the invisible hand moved again. It pulled out a stack of papers from the bookshelf in the corner of the room and handed it to him. Cruise François looked through the documents a little, then pulled out several copies of them and handed them to Curt.

"So the question is, there are people who don't like this change -- who do you think these people are?"
