After returning to the Magic Academy, Link naturally arranged Love in Verola's magic tower.
When he and Ailette entered the Magic Academy, there were many difficulties, and they had to pay exorbitant tuition fees, and they were rejected because of their lack of magic talent. Fortunately, with Link, a level 4 magician, leading the way, the little girl Love had no trouble getting the opportunity to learn magic.
I have to say that on the road of pursuing magic, the little girl is lucky.
Link's life is also back on track, learning magic, experimenting with magic skills, and of course, the most important thing is refining his new wand.
For this new wand, Link used Thunder Perilla wood, precious thorium and adamantine, and was going to fuse Domingo crystals into it. Anyway, he didn't keep any of the good things he had, and swore Forge yourself a mighty battle wand.
While Link was concentrating on making his new wand, in the academy, Anthony and the magic masters of the council completed the magical imprisonment of Bell. According to the plan, he will be sent to the Tower of Azura.
On this day, Bell was stuffed into a sealed carriage, escorted by four mid-level magicians above level 3, and drove all the way to the prison in the northwest corner of the valley.
This is inside the academy, under the real-time monitoring of the academy's magic eyes, no one dares to make trouble here, so the four magicians escorting the prison van are very relaxed.
The four of them chatted while walking, and the topics they talked about had nothing to do with Bell. They were only fulfilling the orders of the parliament, and they did not know the specific identity of the prisoners in the carriage.
About five minutes later, the carriage drove up the mountainside along the path around the mountain. There was an open space of over a thousand square meters. In the center of the open space was a white tower with a simple shape.
This tower is not high, only three floors, about ten meters, from the outside it looks like an ordinary sentry tower, inconspicuous, but it has been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. Evil creatures, there are evil magicians, there are terrifying demon creatures, and it is said that there are demons!
When the carriage arrived, the door on the first floor opened, and a magician in a masked white cloak walked out. He said in a deep voice, "Help the prisoner down."
This magician is the guardian of the tower of Azura. He is very powerful, and his magic level is as high as the peak level of level 5. The four intermediate magicians dare not show their spirits. Bell, who was wearing a hood, dragged out.
Bell didn't say a word, and his body was limp, almost like a corpse.
He knew that he would spend endless time in this cage and taste countless loneliness. The group of so-called masters in the council were cowards. They dared not bear the notoriety, did not dare to do anything to him personally, so they used this kind of torture to torture him. he.
But what can he do? Lost his magic, lost his honorable status, his half-lich body is worse than ordinary old man, he can only wait to die.
"Alas~~~" He was heartbroken, without any thoughts in his mind, numb and indifferent, passively waiting for the torment of the years.
Just when he was in despair, Bell suddenly felt that his hand was tightly squeezed by the escort magician beside him. This force was a bit unusual, and it seemed to be a hint.
"Well, what's going on?" Bell was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, Bell felt that something was stuffed into his hand, which was hard, about the size of a thumb, and somewhat like a pebble. Then, that hand clenched his hand into a fist, which meant clearly that he wanted to hold it. with.
Bell was puzzled, he didn't know who would help him, so he subconsciously clenched the hard lump in his hand.
After getting off the prison van, the white-robed magician took out his wand, pointed at Bell, and Bell's body was suspended, followed behind him, and slowly floated into the Tower of Azura.
After entering the tower, Bell felt movement behind him, and he knew that the tower door was closed. From then on, he will be completely isolated from the outside world.
Because of the failure of the lich transformation ceremony, his eyes were blind and he couldn't see anything. He vaguely felt as if he had been going down and into the ground.
After five or six minutes, Bell heard the magician's voice again: "Master, this is your room. The walls around the room are equipped with confinement magic circles. If you don't want to get hurt, don't touch them."
After the sound fell, Bell felt his body sink, and then he felt a cool touch on his back, and he was placed on the ground. Then, he heard footsteps going away, and the footsteps only sounded for three seconds. arrived, then disappeared suddenly, and there was absolute silence all around him.
"The room is completely sealed." Bell sighed. At this time, he was still holding the strange stone tightly, but for the sake of caution, Bell waited for more than an hour before taking out the stone and holding it with his fingers. Caress and feel.
The touch of this stone is not cold at all, but warm. There are many lines on the surface, which should be magic runes. Bell groped along the imprints of these runes.
His body was much more numb than before, and his fingers were not very sensitive. He groped for more than an hour for these lines before he came to a conclusion: "This is a communication rune stone!"
The magic energy in his body has been imprisoned, so he can't use a single bit of magic energy, but this rune stone can be triggered by ordinary people, so he is naturally fine.
After groping for a while, he determined the location of the trigger rune. Bell began to erase the deterrent rune on the rune world with his fingers. At the moment when the rune disappeared, there was a very faint wave from the rune stone. Following that, Bell found a voice in his mind.
"Is it Master Bell?"
"It's me! Who are you?" Bell answered in his mind.
The voice didn't answer his question, and said to himself: "So, do you want to be free and regain the power of magic?"
These words directly hit Bell's weakness, and he asked the other party's identity regardless, and immediately said: "Can you help me?"
"Am I wasting time now?" There was a hint of a smile in the voice.
"But I don't have any magic power. Anthony and five magic masters jointly cast the confinement technique, and no one in the entire Norton Kingdom can break it. Without magic power, what's the point of my freedom?"
"Who says it can't be broken? Who says I'm the magician of Norton Kingdom? As long as you believe in me, everything is possible." The voice became a little low, with fatal bewitchment.
Bell was silent, he was thinking about it, but then he found that he was in the worst situation now, death is better than this, any change will only evolve in a better direction, so why is he worried
"What should I do?" Bell asked smugly.
"You do this first... this... this..."
The voice whispered in Bell's mind. As Bell listened, his heart became more and more horrified. When the other party finished speaking, he shook his head subconsciously: "No, no, this will ruin the entire academy!"
"Oh? Do you really care about this academy that imprisons you and deprives you of magic power?" the voice asked back.
"I..." Bell was speechless. Yes, he is already a disgrace to the academy. What does the ruin of the academy have to do with him? Even if the academy is razed to the ground and all the magicians in the academy are dead, it has nothing to do with him.
"Let it go, Bell, put aside morality, friendship, and laws. These hypocritical things are all constraints. Now, work hard for your freedom. Now you are truly free!" The voice became high-pitched, full of passion.
Bell was speechless for a long time, and finally he said, "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm the messenger of darkness, hehehehe." The voice gradually dropped, and then Bell felt a shock in his hand, and the rune stone had turned into powder.
In the dark and silent cage, Bell was still lying motionless on the ground, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
In the woods outside the East Valley School of Magic, a magician in black robes was hiding in a dense bush. Beside him stood a very vague black figure. There was a magic circle in front of him. And in the middle of the magic circle is a bright rune stone, which shoots a faint ray of light towards the sky.
After about half an hour, the light of the rune stone dimmed, and then the stone shattered into dust, and the magic circle stopped functioning.
The dim black figure at the side immediately complained: "Philidia, don't let me do this shit again next time, sneaking into the East Valley School of Magic, this is the scariest thing I have ever done in my life!"
"Hey, but it worked, didn't it?" This magician was the dark elf genius who had fought Link.
"It's too early to say success? Who knows if those old ideas of the council will work? Who knows if that idiot in the prison tower will really follow through?"
"Don't worry, my friend, the speaker is a level 8 magician, even Anthony is no match for him. Now, the seed has been planted, we just need to wait for it to germinate."
"I hope so."
…
Almost at the same time, Link, who had been staying at the Magic Tower, received a letter from Yake. It could be seen that the letter was written by Yake himself. Come, say they didn't accept Darius' prison wagon.
Link was taken aback, and immediately asked Verola to inquire.
Verola has already received the news, and her face is a little heavy: "Daris is indeed missing. The academy sent people to track it down two days ago, and there must be a result soon."
"Why don't I know?" Link had a headache, and he had a premonition that it was most likely the work of the dark elves.
"You have been building the wand, so I didn't bother you. Don't worry, wait patiently for the result." Verola comforted.
Link can only wait, he is not a god, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself, he still has to learn magic and work hard to become stronger... There is really not enough time.
'I hope that in this life, the tide of darkness will come a little later, and a little later...'
All Link can do now is to study magic harder and harder!
