Daren was stunned for a long time.

In this day when the weather has started to cooler in late summer and early autumn.

The seventeen-year-old brunette boy learned about his good brother's departure without warning.

A few days ago, the two were whispering side by side in the village against the invasion of monsters. Unexpectedly, it might be the last time they met in their lives. The promised golden partner to enter the mainland together seemed to echo in his ears, and many scenes of fighting side by side in their fantasy were broken.

—————————

“Huhu——”

The wind whistled in my ears, and Gene was a little afraid to open his eyes.

An ordinary person may never have the chance to experience the stimulation of flying in his life - even if he was just sitting in the second half of someone else's magic wand was taken to fly, even if it was only two meters above the ground, Gene was still quite nervous! The sound of his heart pounding was so loud that he could even hear it himself.

"Haha, hurry up, it's not a joke to fall down." A crisp teasing voice came from the front.

Gene tried hard to open his eyes—the one who spoke was the junior magician Erin who led the team.

The magicians were entrusted to take His Highness Glen's prospective disciples back to the magic tower.

The pine staff is actually a slender wooden stick. The red-haired magic girl sat sideways in the first half, with her feet swaying on the left. Gene, who has no experience in flying, sat in the second half of the staff. If she didn't want to fall, she had to hold her waist with both hands and grab the fabric of the magic robe - this was also what Erin told herself before taking off.

So Gene's left hand was right at Erin's lower abdomen, and it was inevitable to collide during flight. The touch sent back under the fabric was softer than velvet, and the right hand was behind the girl's waist, which was less soft, but instead felt the arc of the waist more clearly.

The violent wind blew up the bright red hair curled, licking Gene's face like a flame, and the faint fragrance kept drilling into his nose...

Perhaps this is another reason why the red-haired boy's heart is pounding.

Gene closed his eyes again and suddenly remembered a rumor about a magician. Of course, it was not the rumor that the bards sang openly in the mouths of the legends, but the rumor that the wandering vendors carrying broken pockets and driving donkey carts would only be told in private, and they always had a terrifying and obscene smile on their faces:

"Hey, do you know? It is said that the mysterious magicians are actually very stingy. They only have the magic robe on their bodies..."

Such words often cause a group of listeners to laugh knowingly, and the meaning is self-evident.

———————

The staff flies very fast.

Although he stopped to rest a few times, he still only took half a day to return to the wizards' territory. When Gene looked back at the way he came, the shadow of Dor's village had long been thrown away.

Turn your head back:

The sea of ​​pine forests that cannot be seen at first sight! It is already shocking.

Not far away, the tall and magnificent magic tower standing on the hillside, which was almost about to penetrate the clouds, made Gene stupid.

[This is too high...]

Gene looked up at the top of the tower with difficulty, feeling that his neck was almost broken.

The country boy who grew up in the small village of Door since childhood, how could he have had the opportunity to see such a magnificent building?

However, when he entered the interior of the Magic Tower, Gene was further shocked.

The first feeling is that it is really big, bigger than looking outside, but the second feeling is... it is actually very lively?

That's right, the mage tower that thought would be very secluded inside was actually crowded with people coming and going. Many people in gray robes walked around holding things, but Gene and the others did not attract much attention. Only when passing by several magician girls would the people in gray robes bent down to salute respectfully.

Gene stood in the hall and looked up. There were circles and layers of circular corridors above.

The spiral staircase circles from the right side of the first floor gate, connecting the corridors on each floor and extending up to the top of the Mage Tower where the end is unseen.

[Is this the Grand Master Flinda Tower?]

Gene silently recites the name.

"Let's go, Gene, let's go up and meet the teacher first." Erin returned to the mage tower and took off her magic hat, shaking her big waves of red hair at will, and took the lead in stepping on the stairs with one foot.

The other five magicians also silently took off their hats and followed Erin up.

Gene glanced at them and then hurriedly followed.

call--

The first moment he stepped onto the steps, Gene was startled, danced and his body suddenly floated high! Then he slowly fell down like a light feather.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you!" Erin stuck out her tongue, "This is the teacher's earth element magic... The spiral staircase connects all 63 floors of the entire magic tower, with a total of 2,980 steps. It is not easy to climb it normally, so the teacher has cast eternal magic on the stairs, and here your weight is only one-tenth of that of the usual one."

At this time, Gene had already fallen back to the steps, and was still scared, standing stiffly like a puppet and not daring to move.

"Haha, we must go to the teacher's place to report as soon as possible. It's on the 63rd floor. You can adapt slowly first, and then remember to follow up quickly." Erin finished with a smile, then lightly pointed her toes. The next moment, she was already "floating" upstairs like a gliding bird.

The other five magician girls also easily kept up.

Obviously, this way of walking is as natural and simple as eating and drinking water, and soon it has disappeared above the spiral stairs.

Only Gene stood awkwardly, enjoying the strange gaze of the people around him.

[Okay... nothing difficult...]

Gene could only persuade himself in his heart, then imitate the magicians, and gently stepped on the first step with his toes and floated upwards.

The reality is cruel, it is far from simple!

Gene quickly hit the wall... He was not used to this level of gravity. If he used a little more force, he would fly too high and too fast, and floated in the air for a long time and could not control the direction. Because the stairs were spiral, if he was not careful while walking, his head would hit the outside wall.

In fact, it’s good to hit the wall! It just hurts, and what’s even more terrifying is that it floats inward without being controlled.

The middle part of the spiral staircase is empty, and you can overlook the first floor hall downwards, and you can look up at the top of the Mage Tower, which runs vertically through the entire magic tower, where there is no permanent magic that reduces gravity.

If you accidentally float to the middle, it will probably be no different from falling off a cliff!

Gene moved his body carefully and moved along the stairs little by little... As the floor rose, the fear of accidentally floating towards the middle area and falling was also rising, and the red-haired boy's face turned pale little by little. But people might make mistakes when they were nervous. Gene subconsciously pushed the wall with one hand when he hit the wall, and he immediately regretted it! But his body was floating to the middle uncontrollably...

Suddenly.

His wrist was grabbed by a pale and cold little hand, which helped him stabilize his body.

Gene turned his head and saw that it was a girl with curly hair. He was stunned for a moment before he vaguely recalled that this seemed to be one of the five trainee magicians he had traveled with before?

"Jen, you're walking too slowly, I'll take you up there." The gray-haired girl looked at him carefully and whispered: "You can call me Blanche."
