Throne of the North

The Mage Tower is in the Mage Academy, and the Mage Academy is built in the most important place in the city, on top of the underground fire veins.

As soon as he entered the Mage Academy, Ryan felt that his whole body had warmed up. In this Mage Academy, in this cold winter, he actually felt the scorching summer heat.

Feeling a little shocked, Ryan followed the information given by Moriarty and found a nobleman who was also a magician and the apprentice of the Archmage.

"Miss Olive."

Ryan behaved like a noble, and the woman opposite also responded to his etiquette.

"Mr. Viscount Wittmann."

Strictly speaking, the opponent was a baron, and the Viscount Wittman used by Ryan was still a viscount. But who made the situation different now? He had a teacher who was an archmage.

"Mr. Moriarty has told me your purpose of coming in the letter, but the teacher doesn't know when she will meet you."

Olive said, Ryan didn't act too anxious, at least he only had three days.

"I have always longed for the Mage Academy. I had many exchanges with Master Luna before, and now I finally meet her."

Ryan said, breathing the air here greedily, and Olive next to her heard him say the name of Master Luna, and her eyes brightened.

"Viscount Wittman actually met Master Luna. I wonder if Master Luna has successfully advanced?"

For the Mage Academy, Master Luna is a legend. She never relied on anyone, but she surpassed countless people and became the Grand Mage. Moreover, even the three Archmages said that if it was fifty years ago, Mage Luna would almost certainly be able to become a Holy Mage. If it were a hundred years ago, even a Legendary Mage would be able to do so.

In the Mage Academy under the cold winter, no one can surpass the talent of Mage Luna.

Even the potatoes in the Crucible City were sent back by Master Luna before, which alleviated a lot of food shortages.

"There isn't much communication. That Mage Luna...is not a genius who likes to communicate with others."

"She is indeed a genius."

Olive recognized the friendship between Ryan and Master Luna, and they became much closer in words.

Immediately afterwards, he took Ryan with him and started wandering around the Mage Academy.

"Some places are meditation places for magicians, and others are not allowed to approach them."

The Mage Academy is very large, but there are many forbidden areas, so Ryan quickly figured out everything here.

"I heard that the Crucible City and the Mage Academy are able to resist the cold winter because of the fire veins in the ground. I have occasionally heard Master Luna mention it before..."

Ryan looked at Olive and continued:

"It seems like the Earth Fire can't hold on forever?"

Ryan's words made Olive look ugly. She didn't expect that the biggest secret of the Crucible City had already been leaked.

But thinking that this was what Master Luna told Ryan, she didn't have much anger and just said helplessly.

"As you can imagine, the City of Furnace is almost exhausted."

Mage Olive is also a little desperate at this moment. This is already the warmest place in the continent of Exnel, but soon, it will also be covered by winter.

"Please Viscount Wittman not to tell anyone about this matter, otherwise the Crucible City will become very chaotic."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Ryan sighed, and at this moment, Olive seemed to sense something and said to Ryan:

"Mr. Viscount, the teacher has come out and she agreed to meet you."

"grateful."

Olive took Ryan to a high tower. Looking at the majestic tower in front of him, with its ancient meaning and looming secret patterns on its surface, Ryan felt that this was a building that did not belong to the era at all.

The Mage Tower is the most powerful magical creation.

Shocked, Ryan followed Olive into it, walking on the circular stairs, but felt that the inside of the mage tower was not as open as imagined.

"There are magic restrictions in many places here, and the things inside cannot be easily exposed, especially the experimental products studied by the teacher. If they are released before they are completed, it will cause a lot of trouble."

A great mage with a mage tower is not only powerful themselves, but also the forbidden knowledge they possess.

Soon, Ryan arrived at the top of the tower and met one of the three archmages of the Crucible City.

"I've met the Amethyst Archmage."

As a great mage, he can already hide his real name, because his name can become a weakness in many cases.

At the same time, having a title represents the power of a mage himself.

Amethyst is the name of this mage tower, so it naturally became the title of the great mage.

Although strictly speaking, only those who are legendary should have titles.

The Archmage nodded towards Ryan. She seemed to have lost much vitality in her old age.

"Family of Viscount Wittman, I met your grandfather a long time ago, or is he your great-grandfather?"

"As a noble, they are all very qualified. I have received some help from your family in the past."

"I'm also happy to see that you can survive the cold winter."

"It is an honor for the Viscount Wittman family to serve the Archmage."

Ryan also said humbly, completely assuming the perspective of Viscount Wittman at this moment.

"You come to me, don't you know what you want to say?"

While the Amethyst Master was speaking, he placed a piece of amethyst in his hand on the table. Ryan saw it clearly and was surprised. In that amethyst, there was actually the emblem of Viscount Witman's family.

But Ryan did not ask at first, but said:

"Master, because of the last invasion of the cultists, the Crucible City has no more food for the winter. If it continues, I am afraid that half of the people in the Crucible City will starve to death in ten days at most."

"Starve to death? Then starve to death. Compared with death, becoming a sacrifice to the devil is more terrible."

The Amethyst Master also showed a trace of fear in his eyes.

However, hearing the words of the Master, not only Ryan, but also Olive was shocked and looked at her teacher.

"Teacher..."

She remembered that the teacher was not such a cruel person. He even proposed that the three masters take action again ten years ago to open up the ocean ice layer and give birth to more fish in the Crescent Lake.

In comparison, Ryan was much calmer.

He looked at the Purple Crystal Master and asked:

"Master Master, I wonder if there is something wrong with the underground fire."

The Purple Crystal Master looked at Ryan and nodded after a moment.

"The underground fire has been gone for ten years. We have united the power of dozens of mages and cast legendary spells with the scrolls left by our ancestors to create an underground fire furnace to seal the underground fire and slow down the speed of its disappearance."

"After ten years, the furnace is about to collapse and can't save more underground fire."

"At the beginning, Luna left the Furnace City because she realized this. She knew that it was no longer able to support her breakthrough to the Grand Mage."

"Just yesterday, the furnace dimmed again, and the temperature dropped by hundreds of scales."

"There is no underground fire under this city."

The Grand Mage just looked at Ryan.

"So, even if there is enough food, most people in this city will not survive this winter."
