Dawn of the Grey Tower

It was about midnight after coming out of the secret tunnel. After the cheese, he carefully searched the area in the mirror secret room and the corridor to make sure that there was nothing else that could be used or omitted.

The window area is very quiet late at night. It is different from the mages who often do research and do day and night or simply have to experiment at night. Ordinary people here still retain their usual work and rest time, even because the security is so good that there is no normal town. The lower-level forces, its night is surprisingly quiet.

But this is not the kind of night that can be feared, it is meek, soft, and black tulle that guides people into dreamland.

Cheese turned on the lantern on his waist slightly, letting the early morning light illuminate the way forward for them.

After a busy night, they should have gained something, but they only found a secret room and three broken mirrors, and now they have to drag the few still sleeping kobolds back to the institute. Such inconsistent returns and fatigue make it difficult to avoid negative emotions.

Especially Russell, in the eyes of this spy, everything that happened at this time, besides himself, also allowed outsiders to see the unpopular side of his proud city. As the mage of the city of all laws, he was not very comfortable. , And as a secret ritual caster who maintains order, he only feels even more distressed.

"You don't look very happy, can't you move it?" Kailas couldn't carry the kobold because of his size problem. He followed the two leisurely, and said a bit to Russell who was frowning.

"No, I'm just a bit tired." The Miyi Mage replied feebly. His body and spirit have been challenged today, and this is just the beginning. Tomorrow he will start investigating the stolen mirror.

"Tired? You didn't follow the kobold, you didn't find the secret road, and you didn't manage the mirror, but you feel tired? Then you have to translate the task assigned by the director of the research institute before dawn. Isn't cheese going to be exhausted?"

Kailas is right. The person who is really lacking in skills tonight is actually the gray robe. He has to save his apprentice, trace the origin of the assassin, and solve the fairy tale puzzle. Such high-intensity three tasks can be completed in one night, not even a whole night. If you change to another person, you must have been exhausted at this time, but the cheese's body has not been bent due to fatigue.

"What you said is, it's ridiculous that I thought I was better than most people before. As a result, I can do a little thing like this. I really sit in a well and watch the sky. How narrow." Russell nodded and smiled bitterly.

"It's not a good thing to sit on the well and watch the sky." Cheese suddenly said, his expression is very gentle, he can't see fatigue or excitement, and he seems to have completely recovered from the danger just now. "Sometimes I stand under the sky. I will feel scared. The vast sky, the full of stars, how many secrets, how much kindness and malice are hidden inside, make me feel insignificant and powerless."

"It seems that our gray-robed wizards still have the potential to be poets. I thought that this sky has no secrets for you. After all, there should not be many people who can contain sunlight in lanterns."

Cheese shrugged and accepted the cat goblin's teasing.

"The sun is actually very similar to the mage, no, it should be said that it is similar to everyone, because when it rises into the sky, the whole world only has its light. Could it be that the stars disappear during the day? Is it? It’s just that the sun is too dazzling. Why don’t we, too accustomed to our own pace, too adapted to the unchanging environment, the whole world is left with only one kind of light. But it can make people feel warm and safe. So it’s really true Contradiction, maybe this is why the day is divided into day and night, let us enjoy the stability brought by pureness, and at the same time remind us of the boundless unknown."

"It seems that there are indeed other spells on the three mirrors. You can see what they have turned you into." Kailas opened his hands and said to the cheese. Gray robes rarely talked about these topics in front of others.

"Perhaps. But we really should speed up. I've only deciphered half of that scroll. It might be too late at this speed. Can you still hold it, Agent Russell?"

"If I say no, the Mr. Cat over there will definitely laugh at me, so okay, let's speed up our pace. Go back to the institute earlier, and you can start later work sooner." The red-haired mage took a deep breath and moved away. Took a big stride.

They did not encounter any problems on the way back to the Fairy Research Institute. Perhaps the other party did not expect that these people would be able to touch their own secret room that night, so they could not organize a second wave of offensive in a haste.

Or, after sensing the abilities of the cheese and his partners, he realized that the strength in his hands might not be enough to pose a substantial threat to these people. Instead of this, it is better to stop the battle and reduce the possibility of showing off.

"Are you all right? Youni and Hedia are already asleep, and Jianqi is watching them." Atta and Daphne opened the door of the institute and said to the three who had returned.

"You guys go to rest, too, there should be no more trouble tonight. I will continue to translate the text, otherwise the grumpy lady will come back tomorrow morning and see that I not only failed to complete the task, but also brought so many people over. Furious." Cheese curled his lips at several people, thinking of Mrs. Wynette's appearance, and several people who had seen her smiled.

Let the partners rest, and checked the condition of the apprentice again. The cheese finally returned to his seat, looking at the unfolded book and scroll, looking for the deciphering clues that he had put down in the middle. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he carefully took out three cloth bags from his arms and put them on the table to open them. Inside it were the fragments of the three mirrors. At this moment, he was lying quietly on the spot, without seeing anything abnormal.

"Do you have the blood of a certain kind of bird? Not only did you bring so many people, but you also brought this kind of debris back to my research institute." A sudden voice appeared in the darkness of the corner of the house along with a vague figure. .

Although Mrs. Wynette hadn't walked under the light, Cheese could still see her twinkling eyes. But he was not afraid, he just smiled.

"The time limit you gave me is before dawn, and I will give you the agreed things at sunrise. Please don't care about what happened tonight. It is just us outsiders who provoke me. Little trouble."

"I'm not worried about this. It doesn't matter what kind of trouble you and your partner, including the little guy from the secret ritual school, are in. Actually, I don't really care if you can decipher these words. You see, this There are not a few apprentices in the institute, and I am the only decent teacher. This is enough to explain the problem, right? Fairy magic is just a taste for other people in this city, they don’t think that through research What great achievements can creatures in another realm achieve. And I am so happy."

Mrs. Wynette came over. She seemed to be a lot taller than in the daytime, not sure if it was a lighting problem. The lady picked up the manuscript paper that was on the table before the cheese, looked at the draft deciphered by the gray robe, and lost interest in a few glances.

"The robe on you, is it a sign, right?"

When the cheese heard this, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the other person, "Have you seen other gray robes?"

"I have seen it, I have never seen it. In one of my dreams, there was a little girl wearing clothes similar to it. She called herself Sleeper."
