Jared looked up in surprise and joined Caroline in looking at Tawana. Tawana shrank back from their gaze, had she said something wrong?
"Did you just say ... elective? Did I hear you right?"
Jared was a little surprised that this word, so familiar in his own world,would appear here.
"Yes, Brother Jared. Now that I am a full-fledged Magic Envoy, I must choose the type of spells and incantations that I will practice. In order to determine my future path. ... Is there a problem?"
(No questions, then Tawana, say what you think.)
"Well ... well ."
Tawana nodded, picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip of tea before introducing Jared and Caroline.
At the academy, Tawana learned the basics of magic, some minor spells and experience, but when she became a full-fledged magician, she had to choose the appropriate school of magic to study. However, after becoming a full-fledged Magic Envoy, she had to choose the appropriate school of magic to study, so as not to delay the growth of the Magic Envoy.
"The Woyo Pagoda was built for this purpose.
The Tower of Heaven, the tallest tower in the academy. It rightfully belongs to the Academy Headmistress, Euphoria of Cthulhu, who, as the first of the five Chanting Ambassadors, has a knack for the healing school of magic. Though healing magic is not the first choice of many, the Tower of Heaven is the only one of the five towers where no matter when you go in, you'll always have the chance to meet the Grand Chantress and receive her guidance - since the masters of the other four towers are often not even seen. That's why it's so desirable to the magicians. However, due to the strict selection system of the Tower of Heaven, very few people can actually enter the tower and receive instruction.
The Tower of Darkness below it is the most special tower of all, and "Charums of Darkness" is not only an aria singer, but it is even rumored that she is a warrior who has reached the upper echelon of the ranks. Perhaps because of her master, the Tower of Darkness teaches her students not only devastating magical attacks, but also the true art of combat. I wonder if this Chantress is trying to train her students to be both magical and martial arts experts. ...
Alongside the Tower of Darkness is the Tower of Green. As a legendary elven witch, Fetrina the Green's unique school of elven spells is also noteworthy. It is the easiest of the five towers to master, as it can manipulate the elements in a variety of ways. That's why the Emerald Tower has the largest number of people in the academy. According to unreliable rumors, this is due to the fact that there are a few elf girls who are in charge of the management of the Emerald Tower. However, if you look at the 10 to 1 ratio of men to women in the Tower of Emerald Green, you can see that the rumor is not just a myth.
The Tower of Hyrule, which hovers below, is known as a forbidden place in the academy. The "Eganol of Hiran" uses a spell to manifest magical spirits and summon them to attack. That's why the wizards of the Tower of Hyrule have no need for a guardian. As the master of the Tower of the Forbidden Land, "Eganol of Hiran" likes nothing better than to summon two-meter-tall monsters made of flames to tear his enemies to pieces. Of course, perhaps because of this violence, not many magical envoys have studied at the Tower of Hiryan.
As for the Phantom Tower ...
"I don't know."
Tawana's expression was hesitant and kooky as she admitted.
"Because no one has ever gone to the Tower of Darkness to study ... There's no wizard to teach there, so people don't choose it. And ... I heard it's also haunted ..."
"..."
(...)
What kind of person is Kula really?
In the end, the three of them decided to go to the Tower of Darkness first, after all, considering that what was going to happen would require Kura's help, then they had to find her, at least in the Tower of Darkness, the possibility of running into Kura was much more likely than looking around aimlessly. The fact that the five Chanting Ambassadors were known to everyone, and in this case they were still able to run away without even a rumor of their whereabouts, meant that either one of them would be able to easily evade detection. If that's the case, then searching around would be useless.
The Tower of Darkness is even shorter than the other four towers, and when you look at it, it looks like a small tree growing next to these big trees. Looking at the heavy and cold door in front of him, Jared walked up and gently pushed it.
The door is open.
The cold wind blew, and there was no light in the darkened doorway.
(This ... is kinda scary ...)
Caroline leaned in close to Jared and peered out at the door, which, without any further processing, could be used as a doorway to a horror movie, and was sure to leave a lasting impression on the guests.
"Let's go."
Now that they were here, there was no way they could just go home, so Jared led the way in, with Caroline and Tawana following close behind.
It's not as dark as it looks.
Blurry, blue light fell from the window above his head, clearly illuminating the road in front of him. The reason why it looked dark outside was because at that time, my eyes were automatically adjusted to the state of bright light, and in this case, I couldn't see what I could see in the low light state.
Smooth and smooth marble floor is spotless, erected on both sides of the full body armor model looks like a dream, light light, even its shadow seems to have life like shaking and dancing, like a ghost. Caroline looked up and felt dizzy. She could see the top of the tower through the circular gap in the center of the circling steps, and there was nothing there, not even a ceiling, it seemed. The hazy light tilted down, making everything so much less real. Tavana's grip on Caroline's hand was tight, and she didn't think it was a good idea to come here anymore.
"Ka."
The three of them looked back in surprise to find the door closed.
"What about ...? Brother Jared?"
"Go up, look around, you're bound to find something."
It's a good thing we're here.
Sometimes that works.
The Tower of Darkness truly lived up to its name, or at least the entire interior seemed to fit it. When Tawana took a few steps, she would be startled by small noises coming from nowhere, especially in this dark and quiet environment, the noises sounded very clear and scary. This place really wasn't suitable for teaching, otherwise the students would have heart attacks and nervous breakdowns sooner or later.
(It's clean ... someone should be cleaning it...)
Caroline casually stroked the stair railing, and her somewhat superior cleanliness didn't seem to be of no use at all.
(And it looks like it was just cleaned an hour ago. There's no way this place is uninhabited.)
Caroline gazed at her fingertips and made a judgment.
"Excuse me, is ... occupied?"
Tavana cried out timidly, but nothing could be heard but the fading echoes.
"Whew!"
Then the candles on the wall, which had been extinguished, suddenly burst into flames and blossomed with an eerie green light.
(!!!)
Caroline rushed to throw her arms around Jared, and Tawana flung herself into her arms in terror.
"Hoo... hoo... hoo... hoo..."
Candles were lit along the walls as if to guide the way.
(What about...?)
"Missy, you don't have to be so scared."
Jared looked helplessly at Caroline, speaking of which, you can fight bravely when facing real ghosts and skeletons, but you are so confused when facing this kind of thing that scares children, don't you think you're contradictory?
"Oooo... so scary, brother Jared, sister Caroline, let's go back."
I almost forgot, there is a child here.
But now that we're here, we can't go back.
Jared was silent, walking up the steps in the glow of the burning candles. Anyway, it was just a school, so it wasn't like they were going to make a bunch of things that could kill people.
But as Jared walked to the top floor and looked at the figure that was watching him, he realized, quite forlornly, that he'd been naive in his thinking.
"Greetings, and welcome to the Tower of Darkness."
A skeleton - or rather a skeleton that moves and talks and wears an outdated wizard's costume.
He was standing there, talking to them. There was no light in the black sockets of his eyes.
"I am the magical guide of the Tower of Darkness, Yomira. Welcome to the Tower of Darkness."
