Curt let out a sigh of relief and tugged his hands into his sleeves. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Things turned out so much better than he expected, it was simply flawless. Curt had been prepared for the worst-case scenario, but now it seemed redundant. He laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling that he had overestimated the trial body of Thousand Law City.

Without saying a word, Curt stepped on the snow and walked to the rooftop not far away. Fifty meters above the ground, you can see most of the city. A bitter cold wind blew through, bringing a biting chill. From time to time, sporadic pieces of snow fell and fell to pieces in the streets below.

Qianfa City is located in the Northland, and in the entire Big 6, it is the only city that belongs to the mage, so there are mage towers inside and outside the city. The Mage Tower, on the other hand, is a symbol of strength, meaning that their owner has a place in the city. The best of them are even qualified to attend the Parliament of a Thousand Laws to express their views on important issues.

"One day, I will destroy you. ”

Under the light of the setting sun, Curt faced the cold wind, looked at the main tower in the middle of the city, and whispered softly. His gaze did not stop at the huge conference hall in the middle of the main tower, but at the top of the tower, which was hundreds of meters high. There was a rainbow of magical energy, and a saucer-shaped temple was suspended.

The Sanctuary of Sorcery, which is the official name of the saucer-shaped building. It symbolizes the apex of power in the Thousand Laws City and is the residence of each session of Master Xi. The current Master Xi is named Ioham, nicknamed the Dragon Dramatist. Because he had spent forty years, traveled to countless planes, and even broke into the dragon realm, and fought with the platinum dragon god, and returned safely.

Eoham's deeds are so high that countless mages can only look up. But Curt is convinced that he will one day catch up, and even overtake, Ioham. Because he has a rare talent for psionic energy, and a good talent for spellcasting. Psionic energy and magic can complement each other perfectly, combining into a sweeping force.

But at this moment, Curt has just taken his first ambitious step, and there is still a lot more that must be done. So he took out a feather as a spell material, performed the feather falling technique, and then walked out of the rooftop and fell lightly.

Curt landed safely in the street, and some of the vendors and apprentices who saw him waved to him. At the moment, Curt is just a slick junior apprentice in everyone's minds. He smiled back, confirming that news of Abys's death had not yet spread.

In the city of a thousand laws, people who do not have a backer are not safe. If someone gets the news that the owner of the Black Tower is dead, Curt may be in trouble. Without attracting attention, he returned to the Black Tower as quickly as he could, then pronounced the secret words and opened the door. Curt, who entered the tower, shook his body and dispelled the chill. He breathed a sigh of relief, and began to figure out his next move.

Although there were many issues to deal with, Curt went to the second floor first. He hesitated at every step he took, so much so that it took twice as long to complete the journey.

At the end, Curt saw Ani sitting across the cell with her hands on her knees. He stopped talking with a complicated heart, feeling happy and ready for a surprise attack.

Ani wasn't human, and even Abyss didn't know what she was. The only thing that is certain is that in order to catch Ani, even Abys, who had the best advantage, almost fought for his life.

In the current situation, Curt hopes that Ani can become his ally, but he also knows that the other party is very dangerous. In fact, Curt doesn't know anything about Ani's temperament, so he has nothing to say even if he is attacked. But in any case, Ani stayed. That alone made Curt feel genuinely happy.

"You're back. ”

Seeing Curt, Ani slowly stood up, and every inch of her skin was sprinkled with firefly dust. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was unusually beautiful, almost like a white jade statue of light. In Curt's eyes, Ani gave him a feeling of softness to the extreme. In addition, Ani's waist-length is comparable to that of a melted gemstone, and it is shimmering with a pale cyan luster.

"You liberated me, why?"

Facing the silent Curt, Ani asked a question. She curled up the tips with her flawless fingertips, waiting for an answer.

Curt took a deep breath, reaffirming that he couldn't read Ani's thoughts. He hesitated, then laughed at the end.

"I like you because we are of our kind. ”

Curt was bold and decided to let it go. For the sake of grand ideals, sometimes he had to gamble. And when faced with an unknown being like Ani, honesty is the best way. So Curt opened his heart and said simply:

"I was locked up in my room for years to gain power...... A small room with nothing but walls, no daylight, and even the air being filthy. This is a test that psionics must undergo, and it is my own choice. But the funny thing is that I still begged so earnestly, begging my trainer to let me out. As long as I can get out of the cell, I can give up a qiē at that time. ”

"You think I'm pitiful and sympathetic to what I'm going through, that's why I talk to me so often?"

Ani curled the corners of her mouth, as if she thought Curt's words were funny. She laughed clearly and pleasantly, then nodded and said:

"I see, Curt, you're my friend. I'll stay with you until I find a way home. ”

"Thank you......"

Curt was relieved, and then surprised to see that Ani was disintegrating into countless particles of light floating upwards. As Curt stepped out of the way, Ani smiled and explained:

"I didn't think I was fit to show myself, so I decided to become the tower's tower spirit for the time being. I will keep you safe because we are friends. ”

"Ah......h

Curt stood at a loss until all the particles of light that Ani had turned into were gone. He couldn't believe that things would go so smoothly, and he even unexpectedly landed a Taling.

Talings are powerful souls attached to the Mage Tower, capable of controlling the operation of the entire building. Normally, only high-level mages can own Talings. Because it takes a staggering amount of money to make a Taling, and it takes a lot of power to force a Taling to submit. As a junior apprentice who had only mastered level two spells, Taling should be Curt's unattainable being.

But at this moment, Ani has become one with the Black Tower. Curt could feel that a strange vitality filled the entire mage tower, and even the originally lifeless walls seemed to come to life. A 'buzzing' murmur rang out, and the Black Tower turned into an incomparably large creature.

"I'll help you keep the Mage Tower running on a daily basis. If anything, just call me by name. ”

Ani's voice came from overhead. Compared to the indifferent tone of ordinary Taling, there was a trace of emotional fluctuation in her voice. At the same time, several small golems began to walk, placing the messy items in the warehouse. Activated brooms float around, quickly sweeping away the garbage.

Maybe Ani is really a woman, at least she loves to be clean.

Curt shrugged his shoulders and decided not to disturb the other party's work. He walked up the stairs to the lowest floor of the basement and began to study the unconscious human. - Abyss's ritual spells are so costly that it is unreasonable to summon only an ordinary human. This man should have something special about him, Curt guessed.

So Curt drove the psychic power and transformed it into an anomaly, a spiritual stab. The invisible needle immediately pierced the other person's mind, causing him to wake up screaming. While the man was confused and focused on self-confirmation, Curt read the other man's thoughts. He learns that the man's name is Makoto Ito, and he comes from an alien plane known as Earth, a country called Japan.

"Where am I, who are you?!"

Makoto Ito shouted in an alien language that no one could understand, and he couldn't communicate at all. Fortunately, psychics do not have a language barrier when they read the minds of others. So Curt stared at each other with interest, continuing to consult every spark of Ito's consciousness.

There is no doubt that Makoto Ito was terrified. But instead of thinking about using a sword or magic to protect himself, he thought of a wonderful weapon. It was a very bizarre weapon, slightly larger than the palm of your hand. By simply pulling the trigger on the weapon, it can detonate and shoot small metal particles of deadly at the same time.

'This guy is useful. ’

It only took thirty seconds for Curt to confirm Ito's worth. After a little silence, he telepathized with the other party and said:

'I don't want to hurt you, so be honest. Now follow me and don't play any tricks. ’

In order to hide the identity of the psyker, Curt has not telepathized anyone for a long time. His skills are a little rusty, so Ito is still rolling on the ground and wailing.

'Shut up!'

Curt lowered his face coldly, and let out a spiritual shock. Makoto Ito, who was mentally bombarded, was suddenly dumbfounded, and straightened his body in pain. He shuddered, his eyes filled with fear.

'Stand up. ’

Curt sensed the other party again, and this time Makoto Ito immediately complied. Although his limbs were sore from fear, he never wanted to be tormented by a third psychic ability.

Under Curt's guidance, Ito was taken to the sixth floor of the Mage Tower and locked in a secret cell. The cell was completely sealed except for the vents.

Because of magic, even if the prisoners in the cell yelled, the people outside would never hear them. Curt nodded in satisfaction as he watched the stone door disguised as a wall slowly close. Then he raised his brow and heard Ani's voice overhead.

"There's an unknown person climbing the Mage Tower, do you want to repel him?"

As she spoke, Ani projected an image of a man in black in front of Curt. The visitor was small and wrapped in a special night suit. Curt showed a headache, but he said quickly:

"It's okay, it's an acquaintance of mine, let him in. ”

Curt rubbed his temples with his thumb and continued thoughtfully:

"Thank you, Ani. Please, one thing -- please stop all your work and don't talk until my acquaintance leaves, okay? I don't want him to know about your deposits. ”
