"Nephis, haven't we really seen each other before?"

Most of the mage towers have stargazing platforms, and there is always a special sense of emptiness when looking up at the sky under the transparent dome, and under the cover of magical power, it may not be possible for outsiders to peek inside, but it also gives the stargazers inside a sense of unreality—especially for those who don't know anything about astrology.

The mage sat at the very edge of the balcony, this mage tower was about sixty feet high, this was the highest level of the tower, looking up at the sky, he felt a temporary peace, and was even interested in talking to the little girl behind him.

Her attitude also gave him a very cordial feeling, so much so that he unconsciously gave some trust. After a short period of contact, he felt more and more as if he had seen this little girl somewhere, relying on a fairly good memory, and finally at some point excavated her existence from the garbage heap in the depths of memory.

This made him feel the wonder of fate, and just as he looked up at the sky, he felt the gaze behind him, and asked so knowingly.

Maybe you want to confirm your memory.

"What do you say, Lord Sean?" she pulled the mage's long hair into a bunch, and with a somewhat unhappy look on her face, she tied a knot at the base of the long bunch, and Penny felt a pain in the back of her head, and her cheeks twitched.

"That's fine, otherwise it's messy. The little girl laughed a little shyly, and stroked Penny's head in response to the disgruntled glare, and Penny couldn't get angry at her sight, though he was in a dull mood, and he found her naughty in contrast to the introverted appearance, which undoubtedly made him amused and cute, and he reached out and took the little girl into his arms, even though he was sitting at a height, just over his shoulder.

She froze for a moment, then shifted to sit on the mage's lap and looked up at the sky, her gaze slightly back, Panny's chin that hadn't yet grown stubble.

"My lord, why are you here?"

As an apprentice, there are some things that you don't know too clearly, especially the attendants of the Mage Tower.

“...... Desertion. Penny hesitated in reply.

"Run...... So, you're going to leave in a while?" she said.

"Probably...... Right. Penny leaned back in his large chair and turned his slightly gloomy gaze toward the sky.

"Oh......" she nodded, a little disappointed in her eyes.

Revenge.

Touched by Nephes's words, he began to think about the road ahead again.

If you want revenge, you must leave Searle.

At least it can't be a sword in the hands of other red-robed mages, and staying in Searle, his chances of revenge are infinitely close to zero.

Penny could imagine that with this short staff in his hands, Neveron and Lauzorel would be doubly careful not to give him another chance to kill them with this deadly weapon, and they would probably hide themselves in their hidden lair, and even if they appeared, they would be surrounded by a large number of followers, and as long as Penny was still in Serre, it would be impossible for these minions and the other red-robed mages to give up on his capture, and even if the Pivot of Patjak had the eyes and ears to help him avoid capture, he would not be able to find a chance to take revenge.

To kill the two Chiefs, it is necessary to breach their lair, destroy the capital that they can get up from after being constantly defeated, just one assassination, nothing will do anything, at most one of the Chiefs will disappear temporarily, he is not unaware of the vitality of the legendary spellcaster.

He had to go to a place where there weren't so many red-robed mages to find enough strength to break into the Chief's lair, or if he could have that power himself, or if he could gather enough power to rival a few Chiefs, either way, it would be extremely difficult.

But this is what he has to do, and staying in Serre is a dead end.

He was very clear about that.

Penny was still distracted, when a strange sensation disturbed him, he lowered his head, saw Nephis's face with a painful expression, noticed the wrist that was bruised by himself, and let go of his hand curtly: "I'm sorry. ”

"I didn't ...... Never mind. She rubbed her wrists, lowered her flushed face, and after a short silence, she suddenly raised her head: "So, you're leaving after a while?"

"Perhaps. He noticed that she was about to say something, and felt that Nephis seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't say anything, and shook his head, "What do you want to say?"

“...... No, nothing, my lord. She shook her head, and the mage frowned and pinched her nose, "Lady Oseya is a good person......"

He sighed, "You have to serve her well." ”

"Yes, thank you, sir. Nefez's expression was a little gloomy, and when she heard the words, she jumped to the ground lightly and whispered, "Your Excellency, you ...... You're a good person, too. ”

"Good guy?" Penny shook his head with a hint of self-deprecation on his face, "That's not a compliment in Searle. ”

Nephis's clear gaze became a little complicated and gray, she was speechless, and after a while, her face suddenly changed: "My lord, someone is coming." ”

"Someone's coming?" Penny was stunned for a moment.

"Someone broke in. She frowned, as the only attendant of the Mage Tower, she had a unique communication with the main spirit of this tower, and she felt the abnormality of the lower level, she frowned: "It's a warrant from Lord Justiree." ”

"Lord Justiree?" Penny frowned, and his doubts froze.

Could it be that Lord Ossea betrayed him?

He was in a gloomy mood, he had expected this possibility long before he found this high-level ring master, but at that time there was a bit of a desperate taste, Nancer's teleportation channel was closed, the pass was also guarded, and even the flying technique was restricted, as for the port and the trade road, he believed that as long as he could help him dig out the road of Searle, it would be blocked by the chief - empathy, Penny would definitely do the same.

And Osea, who has the trust of his mentor, is his only choice.

And Osea's attitude at that time also made him feel that he had made the right choice, but now someone broke in like this, did Oseia rebel, or did something happen?

“...... Shall we go down and see?" asked Penny Nephes.

The little girl nodded, and the two of them walked down the two-story mage tower, and when they reached the platform above the hall on the second floor, they frowned when they saw the group of people entering the hall.

A man and a woman are two red-robed mages, the man is about twenty years old - it is impossible to judge his age from the appearance of a mage, what prompted Penny to make this judgment is that this mage has a very immature temperament on his face, which makes people see at a glance that he is not very old, and the lace on the collar also shows that he is just a new red robe who has not been promoted for a long time, which further proves that he is not very old.

The female red robe next to her is a little dazzling, and the cyan lace on his collar proudly declares her identity, and it can also make people ignore her unremarkable appearance.

This is a high-level teacher.

A middle-aged woman behind her, dressed in glittering armor, and her heavy steps made it clear that she had a strong physique, which also made Penny can't help but give a few more glances.

As for the rest, apart from the short, black-robed old apprentice who was worth noting, the rest were two young apprentices and a dozen or so well-armed tall sergeants.

Penny finished reviewing the lineup and deeply felt what it means to be a bad comer.

And as soon as the man's red robe spoke, the impression in his heart deepened: "You are Pennessian? Hmph! Come down and come with us, Mistress Misrila wants to see you!"

Penny's eyelids jumped twice, it seemed that a not-so-good prediction had been realized, and falling into the hands of the red-robed chief was not a good end, but at this point, it seemed that there was no way to refuse.

"Who are you?" as Penny hesitated, Nephis noticed his face and scolded him in a clear voice.

"Who are we?" Penny frowned as anger poured into the young man's red robe's face, he keenly noticed that this man was always scanning him with a secret hatred, and he was sure that he had never seen this red robe before, so where did this hatred come from.

But he shouted in a high-pitched voice, "We are the messengers of Mistress Mithria, this is Master Disney Mentor, and this is the Knight Chief Morene, and you are not going with us?"

"It turned out to be Lord Disney. Penny bowed to the female high-level mentor, but the high-level mentor's demeanor was very arrogant, she nodded slightly, her eyes went up slightly, and quickly closed, as if she felt uncomfortable looking up at this kind of action: "Don't waste time, juniors, our time is precious." ”

"Excuse me, then, ......" Penny's gaze wandered for a moment, trying to delay and find an opportunity to leave, when he suddenly heard Nephies say, "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't receive instructions from Lady Osea, so your orders have no effect on us, you must issue her orders before we can listen to you." ”

Penny raised his eyebrows, frowned at the little girl who was just tugging at his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to wait and see, when he saw the young man below who was eager to try and didn't know what hatred he had, his eyebrows tightened, and he began to silently guide the spell.

"What are you talking about, apprentice?" said Disnes, sharpening her voice, "We have asked Lord Justieri for her opinion, you need to know your status. ”

This sentence relieved a doubt in the mage's mind, he seemed to understand why these people were able to find this place, and he sighed as he thought of the silver-haired prophet he had only met once.

Everyone has to think about their own interests, which is understandable, and who can he blame?

"But this place belongs to Lady Osya. Nephies stepped forward, and could see that her expression was still a little timid, and Penny felt the temperature of her palm gradually cooling, and her heart was very unbearable, but her words were smooth without delay: "No one is allowed to come in without her instructions!

She proclaimed loudly.

"It's so presumptuous, you need a lesson, apprentice. A flash of anger flashed in Disness's eyes, and between her fingers, a scorching red light shot at the diminutive female apprentice, and in the next moment, the light disappeared with a wave of Penny's hand—it was not difficult to be prepared to counter such a hastily unleashed low-level spell, but it aroused the general anger of the group below.

"Penny Sean, are you going to refuse Mistress Misa's will?" Disney looked at Nephes in silence, as if suppressing her anger, and spoke in a somber tone full of threats.

"No more nonsense, Master Disney, Morene!" the man surnamed Red Robe seemed to be in a hurry to wait, and a wave of anger prompted him to give a hasty order, and he shouted to the Celtic Knight and her men who were ready to go: "Go up and catch him!"

A group of tall sergeants rushed up the stairs, Penny frowned, and he could not hesitate at this time, he whispered a word, and a huge character appeared in the center of the hall, and all the knights who rushed up felt a wave of dizziness at this moment, and they either pressed their heads to the drowsy head or fell down, and a few seconds later, a huge fireball was launched from Penny's staff.

The speed at which he cast his spells was unusually swift, which undoubtedly surprised even the high-level Ring Mentors below, and she scrambled to counter the dangerous fireball only to hear a shrill scream from the side.

The young man in the red robe seemed to have suffered some great pain, and fell to the ground covering his eyes, and she looked at Sean who was holding a wand above in shock and anger, and was shocked:

How could he use spells so skillfully?!

This kind of continuous casting is even more proficient than many battle mages who have studied spellcasting all their lives.

She didn't know how smooth and swift the flow of arcane power was when it passed through Penny's mind, and the complex and methodological foundation and arcane cognition from the depths of the source sea made him cast spells far more efficiently than ordinary spellcasters, especially when using low-level spells.

These days, Penny is surrounded by a sense of crisis - this forces him not to prepare spells like ordinary mages, and every morning as soon as he wakes up, he will meditate on a large number of spells that are enough to fill his real name, in addition to magic cracking, all kinds of instantaneous low-level combat magic.

This undoubtedly made him full of fighting power.

And the magical power in the Pivot of Patyak allows him to have more spells than ordinary mages.

Being scolded by these people like servants and criminals, of course, he can't be without fire in his heart.

These anger was vented on these flesh sandbags, and by the way, he exercised his ability to fight with spells.

Morene roared and took three steps up the stairs in two steps, slapping the shield on her left arm towards Penny, this measured movement was enough for her to knock down Penny with one attack without causing fatal damage, and the enchanted shield raised in front of her could also allow her to defend against the spell of the frontal attack in time, but she didn't see Penny cast the spell, a blue flame wrapped around the large shield, and the runes on it were eroded in a few moments, and before she could react, the flame wrapped around her body, and she let out a scream, throwing away the scorched shield, but the extreme burning pain still spread throughout her body。

"Whew-"

She howled like a wild beast.

"Go down!"

Penny recited a brief incantation, and a force field wave knocked the mighty Searle Knight off the railing and fell to the floor of the hall, splashing a cloud of dust.

A group of Serge soldiers fell to the ground in a few breaths, which was not even enough time for a mage to channel two spells normally.

"You're so daring. Disney felt a lack of confidence, she was also a mage with high spell-casting ability, but she couldn't help but be a little frustrated to see this mage much younger than her take down all the men she had brought with her in a single lift.

Being able to cast higher-level spells doesn't necessarily mean you're good at fighting with spells.

At this moment, Nephis ran away from Penny, and I don't know what mechanism was pressed on the wall next to the platform, and a thick light curtain immediately separated the upper and lower floors of the hall - or the upper and lower floors of the entire mage tower:

"Don't let any of you come in without Lord Oseya's orders. She shouted and grabbed Penny's palm.

The mage's heart warmed slightly, and he leaned over and hugged her, looking down at the angry high-level mentors below: "I'm sorry, my lord, of course I don't want to go against Misira's will, but please allow me to prepare." ”

That's.

The current situation reminded him that it was time to run.

Disney recited a few words of the password given by Justiree, and found that she could not open the light curtain like opening the door, so she angrily continued to cast spells on the light curtain, and after trying to break the light curtain to no avail, she said in a low voice full of anger to the back of Penny who left the platform:

"You can't run, the outside has been sealed off by us, can your poor magic power break through our blockade?" junior, I advise you to accept the summons of Mistress Mithrila, maybe luck can make you less painful. ”

"Ahh

...... "I'm going to run away, Nephi. On the way to the Astrological Observatory - Penny was about to use his flying spell to jump out of the Mage Tower and hide out of the place - perhaps paddling away from Serre was his only option, and he whispered to the girl in his arms, "Can you contact Lord Oseaa? ”

A small person like Nephi, with a low status, may have collided with this high-level Ring Mentor, but if he has the protection of Osea, he may not invite greater disasters.

And now he can't bear any more burdens.

"I ...... Am I going to drag you down, Lord Sean?" she bowed her head, her sad and pitiful gaze making him feel guilty.

“...... How so?" he smiled, "It's just dangerous, very dangerous." ”

He sighed.

He foresaw the road ahead.

Nephis's eyes flickered a few times, and then seemed to gradually brighten, and then suddenly dimmed, and she said no more.

On the stargazing platform, Penny looked at the new spell barrier that appeared outside the transparent dome, and some of the apprentices who were nervously arranging under the tower, and sighed and put down the girl in his arms.

Nephies raised her little head, looked at Penny's solemn expression, her expression changed for a while, and then stared intently at the protective shield outside the dome for a while, gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision, turned around and walked off the platform with her calves down.
