Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

The days seemed to pass without any waves, and when the winter was about to end, Cecilia had fully adapted to working with Leviathan's mentor.

Although more and more magical creatures disappeared on the bottom floor of the tower on the north side, Alai still did not return to the mage tower, and the Leviathan mentor often disappeared.

But none of this has much to do with Cecilia's life.

She got up early every day to clean the laboratory step by step, trying to improve her control over the magic elements, and went to the cafeteria with her 'friends' for lunch.

Except for the occasional dead of night, she would think of the strange voice she heard in the middle of the night, Cecilia's life, just like the thousands of magicians in this mage tower, moved forward without any ups and downs.

The accident happened one afternoon in the summer of that year.

The weather that day was particularly good. The sky above the planet that had been covered by dark clouds was shrouded in sunlight, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed by water, without even a trace of haze.

That day also happened to be the day when Leviathan's mentor went to other planets to participate in the annual Mage Peak. Cecilia rarely had to clean the laboratory. She was busy with trivial matters in the Mage Tower from the morning, and she didn't even take care of lunch. eat.

When things came to an end in the afternoon, she was free to go to the cafeteria to eat.

However, before Cecilia could pick up the spoon, sirens were heard throughout the Mage Tower.Shaking and continuous muffled sounds came from a distance, occasionally accompanied by piercing screams.

【warn!Announce to the whole tower that there has been a riot of magical creatures on the lower floor of the north tower. Official magicians are requested to come to support!repeat!warn!Inform the entire tower that the lower floor of the north tower has occurred...]

This is a sign that the defensive magic in the mage tower is activated, and the notice is spread throughout the tower through the magic circle.

After the announcement, the tower on the north side will enter a closed state, and start spraying potions with stun left and right to prevent 'magic creatures' from escaping.

The potion sprayed in the tower is specially researched for magical creatures. Generally, it will take effect as long as it is inhaled or touched. It has played an important role in countless riots/riots.

At the same time, in the cafeteria on the south side, Cecilia responded just after the announcement was broadcast.She sighed deeply, put down the water glass she just picked up in her hand, and walked to the north tower in a calm manner.

In the mage tower where countless magical creatures are imprisoned, riots by 'magic creatures' are very common.This is also one of the reasons why no one steps on the tower on the north side.

As the chief Cecilia's duty is to notify the mentor Leviathan as soon as possible after the riot, and organize the official magicians to rush to the outer periphery of the north side, and then after confirming that the creatures in the tower have fainted, put They went back one by one.

In fact, this is already the fourth "magic creature" riot that Cecilia has dealt with since she entered the Mage Tower, and she has long been familiar with it.

She first cautiously waited for nearly half an hour outside the north side, waiting for the potion to fully take effect, and then confirmed through monitoring magic that all the 'magic creatures' in the tower were unconscious.

In the end, the magicians were allowed to enter in groups of two to carry out the 'cleaning' work.

At this time, no one noticed that when all the attention of the entire tower and the official magicians were concentrated on the north tower, there was a slender figure wrapped in a magic robe, like a shadow, amidst the beeping sirens, , Pushing open the big 'door' that lost the effect of banning magic at some point, quietly left the mage tower.

Wait until Cecilia has completely dealt with all the 'magic creatures' and compared them with the registration information one by one.

Leviathan, who went to other planes to attend the Mage Summit, hurried back to the Mage Tower.

As soon as Cecilia received the news that the tutor had returned, she immediately put down the work at hand and went to greet her.As the chief, she needs to report to the instructor the result of the handling of the incident, as well as the damage caused and so on.

But when she hurried to the outside of the teleportation formation, she only saw the back of her mentor Leviathan leaving.

In the mage tower, the use of space magic is prohibited in the whole tower. The magic circle engraved on the wall of the tower has been strengthened generation after generation, and has already formed an extremely complex comprehensive defense circle, so even the current owner of this tower , You can only move by walking.

Cecilia had no choice but to turn her head, stepping on her pair of high-heeled calfskin boots, pedaling to catch up with the instructor's footsteps.

She followed Leviathan, watching him make his way to the north tower.

At first, Cecilia thought that the mentor was worried about the 'magic creatures' at the bottom, but what she didn't expect was that the Leviathan mentor didn't mean to go to the bottom, but rushed all the way to the fourth floor of the tower.

Cecilia panted and ran up to the fourth floor, but was locked out of the laboratory on the fourth floor by Leviathan's mentor.

She stood in front of the seemingly fragile wooden door of the laboratory, which was actually covered with defensive magic circles, and frowned for no reason.After thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath.

The disappearance of Alai, the whispers in the early morning, the riots of magical creatures, the reaction of Leviathan's mentor...all the clues point to the same conclusion.

The still young Cecilia swallowed subconsciously, and couldn't help listening to the movement from inside the door.

The laboratory was quiet, and the sound insulation magic was running quietly. The cold white light in the corridor shone on the crimson tapestry, showing a dazzling blood red.

Cecilia leaned against the cold and damp wall as if unable to stand, trying to persuade herself not to think about the truth that was almost in front of her eyes.

'It's not my business. ' she told herself again.

After an unknown amount of time, when Leviathan walked out of the laboratory again, Cecilia hardly dared to step forward and say a word.

The instructor Leviathan standing in front of her was obviously not quite right.The light golden long hair, which is usually meticulously combed, is already messy at this time, and the eyes are also bloodshot.

At this time, he gave Cecilia the feeling that compared to a human being, he was more like a lion who was completely enraged, and there was a faint madness in his anger.

After a series of events happened later, Cecilia finally understood why the mentor Leviathan looked like that.

On the third morning after the 'magic creature' riot/riot, the Leviathan mentor was taken away by the people sent by the Magician's Association.

Cecilia vaguely remembered that when he left, his expression was very calm.

The sky was always gloomy that day, with dark clouds hovering over the mage tower, like a harbinger of a storm.

Instructor Leviathan was wearing a dark green magic robe covered with repeated ancient magic patterns, and a coat of arms symbolizing the strongest space magician was pinned to his chest.

He just followed the visitor away without any resistance, as if he was going to an irrelevant party, without explaining anything, except for the coat of arms, he took nothing away.

When Cecilia saw Mentor Leviathan again, it was at the trial meeting of the Wizards Association.

She could hardly recognize that it was the mentor she had looked up to for ten years, standing alone on the judgment seat with a hunched body.The magic robe on his body was still bright, but it still couldn't cover his increasingly thin figure.

He's broken, Cecilia thought with mixed feelings.

Mentor Leviathan, oh, now he's not a mentor anymore.It had only been a week since Leviathan was taken away, but earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Mage Tower.

It was originally Leviathan's...experiments on magical creatures that were exposed.Then the four districts sent people to take away all the 'magic creatures', saying that they wanted to investigate and collect evidence.

Then all the magicians who had a cooperative relationship with the Mage Tower all terminated their cooperation with Leviathan.

Leviathan's mage tower has always relied on the production of space scrolls and other magic scrolls for profit, while the laboratory is a small hobby of Leviathan himself and does not make money at all.

After the cooperating magicians boycotted the space scroll with Leviathan's coat of arms together, the Mage Tower quickly fell into an unprecedented financial crisis.

But at this time, Leviathan was taken away by the Mage Association, and Cecilia lost the backbone. Although she tried her best to maintain it, she still had to "dismiss" some "magic apprentices" to obtain the normal expenses of maintaining the Mage Tower. .

Cecilia still had a glimmer of hope at this time. If Mentor Leviathan was acquitted, relying on his absolute strength in space magic, it would not be difficult to get through this crisis.

However, things did not develop as Cecilia expected. At that time, it happened to be the time when there was friction between the third district and the fourth district regarding the living rights of magical creatures.

What Leviathan did not only shamed the magicians of the fourth district, but also gave the third district an excellent excuse.In this case, there is no suspense at all about the choice of the Magic Association of the four districts.

Cecilia and many high-level officials in the tower, as defendants, attended the trial led by the third and fourth districts.

In the grand trial hall, Leviathan was sentenced on the spot, sentenced to two crimes of 'abuse of magical creatures' and 'blasphemy of the collective reputation of magicians'. Use magic again.

Cecilia and the others were also jointly and severally responsible, but because they didn't know about Leviathan's experiment, most of them only fined them.

It was also during that trial that they realized that Alai had done all of this.

Whether it is reporting Leviathan, or using 'magic creatures' riots, it provides an excuse for the three districts to investigate.Or, they reached an agreement with the three districts and single-handedly facilitated the trial.

Behind these things, there is more or less the shadow of Alai.

Not only that, this trial also successfully provided a favorable basis for the "Regulations on the Protection of Magical Creatures", which indirectly contributed to the direct interest relationship between the three districts and magical creatures.

Cecilia didn't know why Alai did this, even if the Mage Tower wasn't good enough for them, but if Leviathan hadn't picked Alai back, he would have starved to death long ago.

It's not that Cecilia is a reciprocating person, but Alai's behavior undoubtedly destroyed her only shelter.

At that time, those who participated in this trial did not know that they not only witnessed the end of the 'glorious' Leviathan, but also witnessed the end of an old era that belonged to magicians.

A few days later, Leviathan died of illness not long after the verdict came into effect.

Cecilia didn't know what disease he had, but she knew that this matter, like Alai's, was out of her business.

So she still kept silent, just like she did when she found out that Lai was missing.

But soon, the cruelty of the wizarding world taught her that it was useless to blindly dodge and keep silent.

Cecilia, who left the mage's tower and carried the name of Leviathan, was beaten to the bottom of the mage.No magician is willing to make friends with her, and no wizard tower is willing to take her in.

Therefore, Cecilia, who had nowhere to go, first chose to join the experimental project of the Magicians Association, and then gradually participated in the auction of "magic creatures", which gave her a chance to climb up again.

Conscience, humanity, love... everything is not as important as the right to get it.

In this way, she climbed up step by step, fell into hell bit by bit, and finally climbed to the top of the Wizards Association ten years later, becoming a pivotal 'big shot' in the fourth district.

But just when Cecilia was finally able to taste the sweetness of power and enjoy the fruits of victory...

Ali appeared.

With his usual carefree look.He was doing well, too good...even had a companion to travel with him.

Then, once again, it changed Cecilia's life.

Let her fall from the height of power once again.

At this time, Cecilia was no longer the girl who would be afraid of even walking at night, and she had completely abandoned her ignorant liking when she was young.

She is determined that this time, she will take the initiative to solve this hidden danger thoroughly.
