Compared to some of the mage towers Penny had seen in Searle before, the tower in front of him was not luxurious.

This made him a little disappointed, because Vika took him from the West Gate to the village of Garella, twenty miles south of the West Gate, and the person he wanted to meet was the oldest of the three elders of the Wizarding Guild of the Dragon Coast and the most powerful.

However, such a mage tower made him a little disappointed, although there are many devices that should be installed, but the decoration is still a little shabby.

Compared to the appearance of the Otya, it is really a little worse.

One of the most powerful wizards in the wizarding guild, the Mage Tower, was at this level, once again giving Penny a taste of the general arcane level of Faeron.

However, when Vika informed the apprentice guarding the door, and a guide led the two of them into the pagoda, Penny immediately put away his eyes.

As a wizard's base, almost every inch of the Mage Tower's path is lined with traps, and if there are not enough guides to guide the way, anyone who randomly enters it will surely die in a series of traps.

A few force field prison traps and the following invisible passage tell Penny that the owner here is at least a powerful wizard capable of casting the Seven Rings spell.

That was enough for Penny to put away all his contempt.

To be able to achieve this position, it really requires extraordinary strength.

However, during his observation, Penny found that the elder seemed to have a special hobby for some kind of magic equipment, whether it was inside or outside the mage tower, there were rows of pipes inlaid with magic arrays.

He knew that this thing was called a magic cannon, an arcane weapon that could shoot out ice, fire and even all kinds of bombs, and could often be seen on metal golems or in some wizards' bases, but there seemed to be a surprisingly large number of magic cannons here.

It seems that this wizard elder has a special hobby for this weapon.

Under the guidance of the guide, he and Vika reached the third floor of the mage tower, the guide knocked on the door, pressed a few times on a metal plate next to it, as if it was facing some kind of secret number, after two breaths, the door squeaked upward, and a thick cloud of soot poured out of it, spraying several people outside the door in the face, Vika quickly covered her nose and let out a series of coughing sounds.

Although there was a spell to block the ashes, Penny also frowned.

According to the structure of a normal mage tower, this floor should be a meeting place, but his eyes saw through the soot that it was a complete laboratory.

A large number of metal experimental equipment were placed in it, and the soot still carried a strong smell of medicine.

An angry voice came from inside: "Hell, what the hell is this? I've been studying machinery for more than 300 years, and I still can't restore it, hell, this is the fourth plan!"

Penny looked at the diminutive figure wrapped in a magical field, and listened to the shout, and knew that maybe it was another arcane maniac who was keen on experimentation.

It's no surprise that many high-level wizards, driven by methodology and slow self-correction, become a little eccentric.

Especially those who are quite old, have largely lost their sense of surname thinking, and may turn into the undead at any time.

According to Vika, the old mage had lived for more than a hundred and thirty years with the power of potions and spells, and it is estimated that in some time, when the body completely decayed, he would most likely be transformed into a lich.

The smoke and dust had almost cleared, revealing a short, thin body, but Penny did not dare to underestimate the supposedly over a hundred and thirty years old, because the muscles of the old man in a short-sleeved shirt and long trousers for the convenience of the experiment told Penny that he was still far from the decay of nature.

"Lord Shaw Brandt, Miss Vica has come to visit with a guest. The attendant coughed and opened his mouth.

"Vika, tell her to wait, I'll be done with this experiment in a while......" The old man didn't reply, Penny looked at Vika strangely, and the woman pouted helplessly.

In the eyes of such a great wizard, a nobleman like her seemed to be not worth mentioning.

This is one of the reasons why many nobles are reluctant to befriend a wizard, because even if they try hard, it is difficult to get the kindness of a wizard.

Although the methodology of wizards varies, the most central one is to extract power from the outside world, which determines the selfish surname of all wizards, especially those who turn away from Mystra, although the people of Faeron may not know the reason, but they can also conclude this in the process of dealing with wizards for a long time.

Most wizards are selfish guys who only focus on their own world.

This one seems to be no exception.

Penny raised an eyebrow, feeling Vika tugging at her hand, and sat down in the chair next to her.

"Be patient, this lord is very shrewd. Vika took Penny's hand and whispered in his ear: "Although it looks confused, everything in the Coastal Wizards Association can't be hidden from him, you know, before he became an elder, he served as the president of the Wizards Association for more than ten years, and he is now the highest-ranking person in the association." ”

"I'm not surprised. Penny shook his head, "Probably all wizards who focus on arcane will end up like that. ”

A strange look appeared on his face as he spoke: "I wonder if I'll be like that in the future? That's a pretty bad thing." ”

"Who knows?" Vica smiled, the grease on her red lips delicate, "But I don't think you kid liar has that chance." ”

The women of the Heartland area are good at taking care of themselves, they know how to keep their beauty for longer, they are naturally glamorous when they dress up, they are not stupid enough to cover up their natural beauty with heavy makeup, and a little bit of embellishment is far more than icing on the cake.

The wizard's gaze spread along the red lips to the eyebrows, a little distracted, and only reacted under her smiling gaze, and shook his head: "By the way, why did Hiccol call me a liar?"

"Of course it's because you're always lying to her. Vika put her arm around the mage's shoulder, and Penny felt her heart fall into the scented embrace again, and though she knew it was out of place, there was still a little ripple in her heart.

This inexplicable intimacy made him wonder again, for since he first saw this woman, he had found that she had an inexplicable affection for him, and although she answered later with prophecy when asked, even in Faeron, such an answer was a bit prevaricating.

In many ways, Vica was a little too good for him.

While he was thinking nonsense, Vika suddenly whispered a chuckle in his ear:

"She knows everything about you, and you're the only one who thinks she's a fool. ”

Penny's face changed, and he looked back at the face that seemed to be smiling, and his expression was a little embarrassed: "It's not a joke. ”

"Forget it, let me remind you, what do you think she is?" Vika groaned for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it, you just don't disappear inexplicably in the future, this time she almost died." ”

Penny fell silent, suddenly feeling a little unable to sit still, and changed the subject: "Uh...... Didn't this adult forget about us? ”

Vika blinked, her expression a little strange at the same time: "Maybe...... Yes. ”

For wizards, this kind of thing is really not surprising.

When you do research, you can't take care of some mundane things.

It seems that he is very confident in the arrangement of the mage tower, and even the guide, after the tea is served, is gone.

That's what left the two of them here.

"You have to think of a way. Penny frowned.

"It's not good to be disrespectful to the master, so let's wait. ”

"How long will we have to wait? one day, two days? I guess Simon's court won't last that long. ”

"It's okay, I told my family in advance, and if they don't go back after two days, they will notify the Simon Court to postpone the trial. She narrowed her eyes and turned the wizard's head away, "The last time I was here to deliver goods for Master Shawbrandt, I waited in this chair for four days, and he liked to test the patience of his visitors. ”

Penny's eyelids immediately popped.

"The servants here will bring pastries and tea to satisfy our hunger. Vika smiled.

The wizard's mood was lonely for a moment, and he blinked at the smiling Vika, and finally could only stare wide.

She chuckled softly, kissed the wizard on the forehead, and affectionately placed Penny's head on her chest, "Be patient." ”

Penny immediately swelled with a dizzy head, lifted his head groggily, and shook it for a moment before he came to his senses.

It has to be said that Vika's movements diverted his attention and made him less anxious.

With such a big beauty as a companion, it seems that there is nothing unbearable to sit on this chair for a few days.

He looked up and saw that the corridor was still quiet, so he relaxed, and also put his arm around Vika's waist, and could clearly hear the other party's heartbeat in the quiet.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a strange charm in the corners of her eyes, and Penny's heart moved, and she couldn't help it, and put her mouth on the red lips.

Sip~ The long afterglow of the sound caused a disturbance in the quiet corridor.

Loose teeth are difficult to lock the pet tongue, the nerve-dense areas are entangled with each other, and the pituitary gland is constantly secreting dizzying hormones under the stimulation of nerve signals, but thanks to Penny's being a wizard, he can detect a person hurrying down the hallway, his eyes open, and his movements immediately stiffen.

This man was wearing a gray cloth robe, with a hood covering most of his face, and hurriedly walked past with his sleeves folded, and when he saw the shape of the man and woman on the chair next to him, he lowered his head and quickened his pace.

Feeling the stiffness of the other party, Vika immediately sensed the existence of this uninvited guest, she frowned, and saw Penny let go of the hug and stopped the guy: "Please wait a minute." ”

As if unwilling to be rude, the man turned his head: "This gentleman, do you need anything?"

"May I ask ...... you" Penny stared at the man carefully, judging by his chin with only a few whiskers, he was not old, and his voice was distinctly that of a young man.

"I'm an adult's assistant, he just summoned me, and I'm going to get to his lab as soon as possible. After answering Penny's words, he bowed again: "Nothing else, I will answer the call of my master first." ”

"Okay, go ahead. Penny's eyes flickered twice, and he waved his hand.

The assistant turned around, and after walking a few steps, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, tilted his head, turned his head to reveal his round eyes under the hood, and fainted with a look of surprise and incredulity.

Vika watched in amazement as Penny knocked the assistant unconscious, changed into his assistant's outfit, and tied the assistant up and tucked it under the chair.

It wasn't until the wizard greeted her that she reacted.

"Wait, are you really going to do that?" she held out a hand, trying to stop Penny.

"I don't really want to wait a few days. Penny said lightly, handing Vica a bottle: "It won't take me long, if he wakes up, put this under his nose and let him smell it, there will be no big problem." ”

Vika nodded stunned, aware of the risks, and when she wanted to continue to stop it, Penny was gone.

She was stunned for a moment, and finally sat back with a sigh and a sigh, hoping that the wizard would have good luck.

Although the mage tower was full of traps, but the road from the seat to the laboratory, Penny had already walked through, with his memory, as well as some traces captured by the arcane vision, although he may not be able to detect all the traps, but it was not a problem to walk safely to the door of the laboratory, he walked to the door, hesitated, and wanted to open the door with a code like the announcer, but before he could do so, the door opened upwards.

While he was hesitating, he saw the short old man shouting without turning his head:

"What are you doing there? Hurry up and come to work. ”

Perhaps the old fellow, who was so obsessed with experiments, would not have noticed the slightest change in his assistant, Penny calmed down, and walked over, about to hear what the old man wanted him to do, but he saw clearly what the old man was fiddling with, and the more he looked at it, the more strange his expression became, and then he was stunned.

This thing is not a big machine, and in many places it gives Penny a sense of déjà vu, and when he figured out the source of this feeling, and at the same time knew the identity of this machine, he was stunned.

"Why are you still stunned? Is there anything to be stunned about?" Sensing the incompetence of his assistant, the old man once again raised a dissatisfied voice.

"Of course, my lord, why does this machine look a little strange?" said Penny's expression a little strangely.
