Knight with Wand

The fortress city was silent at night.

In the room with candles lit, Leon was bored and waiting for the opportunity for Balfu and his party next door to fall asleep.

Corvis took off his gauntlet, held the gem necklace, and slowly injected magic power into the instrument.

Olivia lay in front of the table, holding her chin in her hands to support her head, staring at the one-eyed pattern on the forehead of the blond boy, and the magical item in his hand that was taken from Duosen's body.

The red light on the gem necklace reminded the girl how difficult this thing made Baron Cantadar suddenly become.

After a long time, Corvis took a deep breath and dispelled the magic pattern on his forehead: "That's enough, my lord, now the 'Boiling Heart' can be used normally."

Leon took the necklace he handed over and saw the gem that changed from translucent to crimson again, and couldn't help asking: "How to use this thing specifically? Is there any switch?"

"Its sensing range is very short," explains Corvis. "You only need to wear it close to your body and recite the Lorelite mantra, 'Boil, my blood,' silently in your mind when needed to activate the necklace."

Leon nodded and silently wrote down this short string of curses.

"Is this witchcraft?" Olivia asked softly.

Corvis turned around and shook his head at the girl: "This is magic. From what I learned during my time in Kantadar, the 'witchcraft' in general knowledge in the Western Continent should refer to some primitive spellcasters. , the ancient experience gained through words and deeds, and the means of utilizing magic and elements that were summed up through exploration.

Although effective, the process of casting spells without understanding is often accompanied by uncertainty, and the stability of spell effects is also very poor, because they may not fully understand the reasons why their powers can operate.

As for magic, I don’t know if there is a relatively systematic mage school on the Western Continent, but the Mage Society of the Artias Empire has the concept of how to explore the causes of magic in the world. Every spellcaster needs to understand what he knows. The composition and principles of casting spells"

When Olivia listened to the explanation of the young man from a distant country, she nodded her head in confusion and felt that it was eye-opening.

"Corvis, you are really knowledgeable, so you must also have a lot of magic?"

The girl looked at the other person expectantly. In her heart, this beautiful boy seemed to have turned into one of those wise and mysterious white-bearded wizard grandfathers in the story.

"Not much."

Corvis smiled, drew the seal, and controlled the fork that had been on the table for countless years to float and spin in a circle.

Olivia looked at the trick performed by Corvis and exclaimed in surprise: "It's so amazing~"

"If you know the principle, it doesn't look that magical. In your eyes, the fork is moving out of thin air, but in fact, I just control the magic power released to hold it up and correct the posture of the object at all times," Corvis explained road.

As he spoke, he drew another circle of light curtain with his other hand, and dragged the circle screen in front of Olivia with his fingertips: "This way you can see it."

Through Corvis' inspection spell, the girl's eyes widened, and she glimpsed the turbulent flow of magic power gushing from the opponent's hand.

Olivia couldn't help but reach out and touch the air between the young man's palm and the fork, trying to touch the flowing magic power.

But the arm stopped halfway up, and the girl retracted her rash move in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. The energy density of the magic flow after the spell is firmly formed is much higher than the density of magic in the human body. You can't interfere with this spell."

Corvis raised his hand to extend the distance between the technique in his hand and the fork, indicating that the other party could touch the air at will.

Hearing this, Olivia blinked and happily raised her hand towards the stream of light illuminated by the round curtain.

The girl's slender fingers tentatively traced the invisible magic flow.

——Bang~

The fork fell from the sky like a kite with its string broken, and immediately fell back to the table.

Corvis's indifferent smile froze on his face.

Olivia was startled.

Isn't it impossible to interfere?

She looked at the boy with a surprised and worried expression, fearing that she had done something wrong.

Corvis looked at his palm, feeling the end of the extended magic flow, and the chaotic dancing after losing the connection with the fork, and he couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that I charged the necklace too much and my energy was sluggish?

"Are you okay?" Olivia asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm probably tired." Corvis shook his head awkwardly.

"If you're tired, you can stay later. Just in case, if Balfe and the others come to me, you can help me deal with it." Leon put on the magic necklace, heard his partner's conversation, and asked the question Weiss said.

Olivia looked at Leon in confusion, wondering where he was going so late: "Are you going out later?"

Leon looked at the girl's curious eyes and smiled at her: "Want to see more amazing magic?"

"Hmm~!" The girl nodded expectantly of course.

"Haha, then come with me and I will take you to an awesome place tonight."

late at night.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Leon and Olivia quietly slipped out of the back door of the house.

Guided by the moonlight, the two ran a long way in the dark before lighting the torch with a fire sickle.

Leon led the girl all the way deep into the castle town, through the Fountain Square, and he returned to his old place and climbed the long stairs again.

Arriving at the end of the stairs, Olivia looked at the towering mountain rock wall illuminated by the light of torches and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this right here?"

"Yes, that's right."

Leon handed the torch to the girl beside him: "Hold my hand, and just follow me and walk straight in."

Olivia looked at his outstretched hand, and the girl's face blushed slightly under the cover of the flames.

She held the other's palm obediently. Although there was a thick gauntlet between them, the girl's heartbeat was inexplicably nervous.

Leon raised his fingertips and drew the track of the seal of identification on the rock wall.

(Gulorelit language) "Respect to Ms. Neti, the retreat, please open the way for us"

As the correct spell was spoken, Leon held the girl beside him tightly and pulled her straight towards the solid rock wall.

No obstacles were encountered.

In Olivia's surprised eyes, Leon's body squeezed out the rippling waves like sinking into the water, and merged into the rock wall. Then, she was also pulled and submerged in it.

The girl's eyes darkened, and when her eyes could see clearly again, the scene in front of her was illuminated by a soft light.

The place was still the same, but in front of them was no longer a rock, but a magnificent towering spire.

The surrounding light came from the mysterious crystal on the top of the flying buttresses surrounding the main body of the tower.

Olivia looked back at the way the two had come before.

The illusory and hazy light curtain enveloped the platform in front of the tower.

Behind the transparent light film, the long steps leading down to the fountain square were still visible.

The girl felt a burst of excitement in her back.

This immersive and wonderful experience shocked her more than her partner's magic of controlling things out of thin air.

With her palm loosened, Olivia turned her head and saw Leon walk to the entrance of the tower and raise his hand to push the huge door.

The girl lowered her eyes and shook her palm with some anxiety.

But she immediately shook off the regret in her heart and quickly followed.

The creaking door was opened, and the magic crystals surrounding the dome of the hall still illuminated the magnificent Mage Hall.

Leon entered the circular hall and looked around.

I didn't see Laura, wondering if she was in the workshop on the upper floor.

Just as he was about to take Olivia upstairs, he saw a clear golden halo on the magician's throne, so he stepped forward to check.

Stepping onto the steps of the throne, he looked closely and saw that it was the golden magic card containing Miss Laura.

Leon was a little disappointed. He forgot to consider the time when the magician's spirit turned back into the Neti card. It might be a coincidence that it happened to coincide with the rest time when the other party's spirit turned back into the Neti card.

Picking up the card from the seat, Leon suddenly found that the originally translucent crystal card had a fine dynamic pattern similar to the card face.

The exquisite card outlined a half-length portrait of Miss Laura.

The girl in the platinum robe closed her eyes peacefully, holding the gorgeous golden scepter in her hand, and her long white hair fluttered leisurely behind her with the magic light.

"So beautiful, is this also a magical item?" Olivia looked sideways at the card in Leon's hand, and couldn't help but sigh at its exquisite appearance.

"Yes, there is a friend of mine staying here, but she may still be resting now." Leon replied, and turned it to the other side.

But I thought the back was also the same portrait pattern, but it turned out to be a white sun wheel.

Leon looked at it carefully and felt very familiar.

Isn't this the church's holy sun wheel?

Before he could wonder whether the emblem on the back was made by Miss Lola, the Neti card in his hand burst into a dazzling light.

Unlike the first time he summoned the spirit, the entity of the Neti card turned into golden light particles flying into the air, and the magic light whistled and gathered. In an instant, the familiar petite figure reappeared in the world again, and the girl in white robes fell from the air.

Leon was stunned for a moment, and reflexively raised his hands to catch Miss Lola who fell in front of him.

His arms held the mage girl's shoulders and legs steadily.

Before he could react, he had already held the other's unusually light body in his arms in a princess hug.

Her snow-white long hair fell on Leon's arms. Laura held the staff and looked at the other's face blankly.

Leon suddenly became embarrassed: "Ah, sorry, I was afraid you would fall."

"It's okay, but I can actually fly." Laura blinked her golden eyes.

No wonder the weight in her hand was so light that it seemed like a feather. It felt like she was floating.

Not daring to look directly at the mage's pretty face, Leon quickly let go of his left hand, put down her legs and fell back to the ground.

Olivia, who witnessed the card in her partner's hand turn into a beautiful and noble white-haired girl, covered her mouth and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

In order to divert his careless behavior, Leon changed the subject and introduced the blonde girl next to him: "This is Laura, my wizard friend, and the owner of this wizard tower."

"Hello, Miss Laura, it's our first meeting. I hope my rash visit did not disturb your rest."

Olivia reacted and saw the white-haired wizard girl holding a scepter and wearing more gorgeous and exquisite clothes than the nobles. She hesitated and put her hands in front of her body and nodded respectfully.

"Don't be nervous, Olivia, I'm not a noble." Laura understood the girl's sudden cautious attitude and explained softly.

"Do you know my name? Did Leon mention me to you?" Olivia was puzzled.

"You met Laura for the first time today, but Laura has met you for the first time. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you later." Leon said with a smile.

After that, he looked at the mage lady again: "Fortunately, you showed up by chance. I thought I had made a wasted trip tonight."

"It's not a coincidence. I sensed your approach. If you just show up for a while, the earth veins can still hold up using the spells of this tower."

Lola walked to the throne, stroked the hem of her robe behind her, bent down and sat down.

"Is that so? Then I'll tell you something while you're still here." Leon told the other party the news that the town fort outside would be operated and built by the Faroris family, and explained his concerns about the existence of the mage tower.

Laura listened quietly and comforted him: "Don't worry, I used the earth veins to activate the entire defense system of this tower. Even if the visitor is another spellcaster as powerful as Aphrodite, it will take some effort to crack her spells. Ordinary people can't disturb me."

"That's good, but these days, you have been studying Ms. Aphrodite's magic in the tower. Have you made any new discoveries?" Leon asked.

Miss Mage nodded: "I reproduced the production process of Neti Card, but the materials that make up this card that now contains my spirit are too precious even in the era when Aphrodite and I were alive. The remaining materials in the tower can no longer create such a strong creation."

"Of course, things with similar functions to the original inspiration source of Neti Card can still be made, just like items like spell containers. Follow me." Laura stood up from her seat.

Leon followed the footsteps after hearing the words, but turned his head and saw Olivia still standing there.

".I'll wait for you downstairs."

Olivia waved at Leon, not wanting to disturb him from talking to the mysterious mage because of her curiosity.

Before Leon answered, Laura turned around and waved to the girl: "Come with me, Miss Olivia, I have something to confirm with you."

"Me?" Olivia pointed at herself, her eyes full of surprise.

"Well, although it's just a guess, the possibility is very high." Laura nodded.

She then said to the blonde girl: "The concentration of magic in your body is surprisingly high by the standards of normal natural people. Considering the area where you were born, if the situation is as I expected, you are likely to be the descendant of someone I know, and I may know your ancestor."

"My ancestor?!"
