"'Wind of Dryness', a name that sounds like the fire elemental magic of the wind elemental magic. After Professor Young walked away, Cynthia explained in a low voice, "Using the magic of the fire elemental nature to heat the air and then transmit it to the surrounding objects, it can produce high-temperature magic without generating flames. ”

"Hmm...... It's the same magic you used to dry my clothes. Alan nodded.

"Yes. Cynthia said, "But even though it's the same magic, the effect is different when used by different people." This one of his works a lot better than when I used it...... So I speculate that the fire elemental may be his primary magical nature. ”

"Could it be ......" Alan swallowed, and another clue that seemed to be Burrestu pointed to Professor Young.

"But it's probably too early to tell. Cynthia guessed Allen's thoughts and said, "Although he is suspicious, these are only speculations after all, and we had better not act rashly until we are completely sure that he is the suspect of the year." ”

"Hmm...... Agree. Alan nodded and said, "But do you think there is another possibility?"

"What?"

"Well, for example, he might have disguised himself as something else......"

"Something else?" Cynthia didn't understand.

"Well, because he'd been in contact with Frost, and Frost ......," Alan said again.

Hearing this, Cynthia immediately understood that Alan suspected that Burestu might have transferred his soul to another body with the help of Frost's magic.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's a bit hard to find......," Cynthia couldn't help but smile, "There are about two thousand people in this castle, and if you want to find him from here, I'd rather spend this time sleeping." ”

"No, maybe he's just mixed in with the freshmen? because he's only been in this castle this year. "That narrows down the target to 500 people." ”

"Five hundred. Cynthia couldn't help but smile again, "It's true that the scope has narrowed down a lot, but you have to think clearly, there are five hundred people, what method are you going to use to find him out of this?"

"Uh......" Alan was speechless.

Yes, even if he knew that he might be one of the freshmen, he could only stare at those more suspicious objects as much as possible.

"I really can't stay here any longer, and I can't find any reasonable explanation for them when I see them come out of it later. Cynthia said and walked down the steps, "Now we just need to be careful in our hearts." ”

"Hmm. "I'll have to go find them quickly, so I don't have any accidents," said Allen......

But before his own words could be spoken, a very serious problem occurred to him - he did not know the way. He had wanted to follow Rare all the way to the top of the tower, but now Rare and the others were gone.

"Wait!" Thinking of this, Alan immediately trotted all the way to Cynthia and whispered, "Uh...... Do you know which staircase is to go to the top of the tower?"

"Why are they going there?" Cynthia said after a moment's thought, "Hmm...... I hadn't been up before, but I heard Frey say that the staircase that looked the oldest and dustiest was the one. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Alan turned around and ran up the steps and into the archway.

Perhaps because of the pressure caused by the triple trial, the freshmen were particularly concerned about the location of the classroom, and as soon as Alan entered, he felt as if everyone was crowded into this hall, and the air in the entire general hall seemed to be scorching hot because of the still hot weather.

However, when he walked out of the door due east and came to the two entrances of the Twin Spires, he was in a dilemma: did they go to the Elemental Tower or to the Hybrid Tower?

After thinking about it for a moment, Alan decided to take a gamble, although Riel was a student of the space-time department, it was more likely that he would have taken Cecilis with him, or the Elemental Tower.

After making up his mind, Alan walked into the arch.

There were people coming in and out of this long aisle, and most of them were in a row of two, and Alan felt that it was not a way to wait, so he had to walk in. Of course, it's against the wall.

Although Alan rubbed almost against the wall all the way to the innermost, he still couldn't avoid colliding with many new students who were going out, but fortunately, the aisle was still not well lit, so it barely made people suspicious.

As soon as he arrived on the first floor of the Perpetual Motion House, Alan saw Alyssa at a glance, followed by Selena and several other freshmen. They were coming down a staircase and up an adjacent staircase, gesturing as if Alyssa wanted them to memorize the characteristics of each staircase as soon as possible.

However, Rare and Cecilis are not seen.

Alan walked briskly up the stairs and began to examine each of the possible ones leading to the top of the tower. I thought it would take a long time to look for it with his eyes, but to Allen's surprise, it didn't take him long to find it, because this staircase was so special, not only did it look the oldest and dusty, as if no one had ever walked it, but it was the only one that zigzagged upwards of all the stairs.

On the guardrail on the side is also engraved this line of small words: Fools always want to find out everything.

"What do you mean?" said Alan. And he wants to be angry a little, because he's the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of it......

But before he could think about it, when he looked up, he couldn't help but sweat for himself again - there was no end to this staircase.

"How long will it take to get to the end......" Alan couldn't help but think, and even hesitated to go up. And he doubted more than time if his physical strength would allow him to persevere.

But at the thought of Riel's safety, his feet involuntarily stepped onto the stairs. After all, it's useless to stare here, it's better to hurry.

The staircase is a bit steep and there is a twist every ten steps. At first, Alan carefully counted how many corners he had taken, but after a while, he was tired and panting, his legs were sore, not to mention counting, and it was difficult to even walk up normally. He had never climbed such a high staircase, and if he looked up, there was still no end in sight......

"This staircase...... Isn't there a head?" Climbed two more floors, and Alan was too tired to stand it, but since the stairs were dusty and there was no place for him to sit, he had to rest a little with his hands on his knees.

The only thing that made him feel good was that the two lines of footprints in front of him told him that Riel and Cecilis were indeed on top of it, and that he didn't have to run to the other side and climb again......

After a short break and a few deep breaths, Alan felt much better, and then continued to climb up. Coming to the corner of a staircase again, sweat kept dripping down his head, and looking down through the gap in the staircase, Alan found that he could no longer see the people below clearly.

Maybe he was a little tired and prostration, but Alan only felt dizzy for a while, so he couldn't help but grab the guardrail next to him.

However, it was then that he was surprised to find that the footprints of Riel and Cecilis had disappeared.

Alan was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw that the part above the staircase was still too numerous to see the end, but the footprints of the two men had indeed disappeared here.

Alan couldn't help but feel a spirit, and instantly became much more sober. When he looked around, he noticed that another path suddenly appeared from where he was, stretching straight towards the wall on one side, and the two sets of footprints were clearly visible on it. And the reason why he didn't see it when he first walked up was because he was so tired that he kept his head down and climbed up like inertia.

Alan looked up again, and found that from here on, and up again, there was another path leading to the wall around every corner, and at the end of each path there was a door that looked exactly the same.

I don't know what material the house number on the lintel is made of, but it can still shine in such a dimly lit place. Alan narrowed his eyes and tried to look at the adjacent doors, and found that the lintel was written with the same set of numbers - "101".

"Could it be ......" Allen's heart tightened, and a bold thought arose in his mind: "This is a staircase with no end?"

Thinking of the lines carved into the guardrail, and the strangely constructed dormitory buildings they usually lived in, Alan had a vague answer in his mind: although he didn't know what magic caused this effect, there might really be no end to this staircase. And these house numbers are almost all the same, probably because they lead to the same place.

Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but feel a lot more comforted, he didn't continue to climb up stupidly, but at the same time, a question also popped up: "Isn't it just a staircase leading to the top of the tower, why is it so complicated, and there are hints like guessing puzzles......"

With these thoughts on him, he followed the footprints towards the door.

The door was unlocked and hidden. Thinking that these two people might be in the door, Alan couldn't help but lighten his steps a lot.

"Actually, it's the first time I've been here. Riel's voice came through the door, "There are some rumors that the Stones treasure is behind this door, but, uh, it seems like a lie for now......"

Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but let go of his hanging heart, it seemed that the two of them were chatting quite happily, and Riel seemed to have told her the story of the Stone's treasure.

"I just feel like it's a nice place and it's refreshing. Cecilis's voice was faintly heard.

"Whew...... Seems to be me overly concerned?" Hearing Cecilis' tone as usual, Alan thought.

"yes, I love this place too, if it weren't too tall I'd love to come here every day......" Riel's lazy voice came, as if stretching at the same time.

Allen's heart was relieved at this time, because if Cecilis really wanted to take Riel's life, she should have done it a long time ago.

Thinking of this, he turned and prepared to leave. He's not here to eavesdrop, just make sure Riel is safe.

But before he could take a step, he suddenly heard another exclamation......

"Ahh

It's Riel's voice again!

"Could it be ......" Allen's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition rose from his heart, so he couldn't help but push the door open!

He was taken aback by what he saw. I saw that the place where only a few people could stand was gone, and only Cecilis, who had her back to him......
