Southwest province of the Kingdom of Breland, mountainous region of Firas.

As a small city on the border of the southwestern provinces, Oneros is a small place that can easily be overlooked if you don't look carefully on a hand-drawn map.

It is more than 3,000 miles away from Silisus, the capital of the Southwestern Province, and although it is a little remote, it is not quiet.

Surrounded by mountains and ancient trees, Oneros is a great place for hunting and adventure. In addition, the abundant Vodantis River flows here, making it a well-known agricultural area and an important foothold for inland shipping.

It may not be as vibrant as the capital, but the merchants, dreaming adventurers, wanderers, and mercenary groups that are everywhere still turn this place into a thriving city.

However, in such a mortal city full of life, in the north of the city stands an old and mysterious tower.

Compared to the guardian towers of other big cities, this mysterious tower with 7 floors is not inferior in scale, but it is much inferior in appearance. Without the dazzling glow of magic that was always in flux, and the noble mages in robes who came in and out, it seemed like a discarded world, dull and gloomy.

Dressed in the robes of a mage's apprentice, Kokar yawned as he hurried through the bustling crowds and the bustling marketplace to the tower.

It's almost the end of the day, and if it weren't for his small shop of magic items, Kokar, who had just had a drink at the "Kammik Hut" last night, would have wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally.

When he reached the huge square in front of the tower, Kokar could already see three or five figures waiting silently at the entrance of the tower. This made him can't help but pick up his pace again.

"You're late again, Kokar!" A middle-aged warrior with a two-handed sword on his back shook his head helplessly, and he was also quite speechless for this increasingly lazy mage apprentice.

"Alright, alright, don't mumble, it's not the first time he's late. Hurry up, Kokar, our team is still waiting to go! The same as before, 10 enchanted arrows, 2 cobwebs, 1 sluggish! Another female ranger with a longbow interrupted the captain's nonsense and began to report the purchase list neatly.

A few thieves-like guys next to him also hurried over, and reported their needs in a gossiping manner, ranging from "glitter powder", "bat droppings", "purified sulfur" to "wind snake venom", covering almost all the types of business in the magic hut.

Kokar did not dare to hesitate, and hurried to the two tall stone doors of astonishing thickness, and only made a few gestures and recited an obscure incantation. The quaint and mysterious patterns on the stone door seemed to sense the approach of humans, slightly emitting a blue and silver brilliance, and after a slight shock, with a low and dull gurgling sound, the two doors slowly opened.

Although such a scene has been seen many times, and everyone also feels disdain for the half-baked level of the mage apprentice, when the mysterious magic is displayed in front of them, these mercenaries and adventurers are still in awe.

This tower was also the pride of the small city of Oneros, but unfortunately, with a magic accident half a year ago, the mage and a dozen mage apprentices inside died inexplicably. After the high-ranking mages who had arrived from the Tower of the Seven Rings had cleared the tower, they temporarily sealed it, leaving only the apprentice Kokar to take care of it.

In fact, Kokar was originally a mage apprentice affiliated with this tower, but he was spared because he happened to go out to buy things on the day of the accident.

The young apprentices who accepted the guild's orders did not dare to disobey the order and sneak away, nor did they dare to stay in the tower too much, so they had an idea and rented a room in the city. This way, he came to the tower during the day to keep the magic hut running, and at night he was free to hang out and spend the night.

To tell the truth, he really didn't dare to live alone in such an empty tower in the dark and uninhabited night. Those high-level mages said that they had cleared all the hidden dangers, but their words didn't seem to be fully trusted.

If it weren't for the strict orders from the guild, Kokar really wouldn't have set foot in this tower for half a step.

The magic hut is located in the corner of the hall on the first floor, and although the furnishings inside are simple, they are real magic items.

Without these special arrows enchanted with the "Sharp" effect, the Ranger's bow would not have been able to shoot through the beasts with heavy scale armor. The "spider web technique" and "retardation technique" are the favorites of the adventuring team, and only with a few of these scrolls can they dare to enter the Phyllis Mountains to round up those large beasts.

Just as a group of people were begging around Kokar, in the corner of the square not far in front of the tower, a teleportation circle covered in a thin layer of dust suddenly lit up. As the magic power continued to converge, this light gradually covered the entire teleportation circle, and a faint spatial distortion had already appeared in the sky above the circle.

The mage apprentice, who was alarmed by the strange situation outside the tower, hurriedly separated the crowd and hurriedly ran out of the tower. Just a hurried glance surprised him.

The teleportation circle has been activated, and someone is about to teleport over!

No matter who comes, the one who can use the Mage Guild Teleportation Array will not be a small person.

Kokar hurriedly turned around and dispersed the adventurers, and stood respectfully in front of the teleportation circle before the teleportation was completed.

A soft sound of "Hitomi".

The distorted and fluctuating spatial ripples in the teleportation circle gradually subsided and recovered, revealing three hazy figures standing in it.

When the circle began to operate, the dust accumulated on the circle was pushed out of the teleportation area under the repulsion of the surging magic. As a result, Kokar, who was standing next to him, immediately became an unlucky ghost, and he was a wolf with a dirty face.

It's just that this is all because he is usually too lazy and neglects to take care of it, so Kokar, who has suffered a lot of losses, didn't dare to say anything, and quietly used the "cleaning technique" on the apprentice's short robe to tidy himself up, and then began to secretly look at the few "big people" who were teleported over.

"A high-level mage, a mid-level mage, and a ......" has been in the tower for nearly ten years, and he has seen many big people when he is sent there, but the strange combination in front of him still makes him feel refreshed.

A high-level mage, of course, a well-deserved big man. With Kokar's qualifications, it is already a blessing to be able to see the demeanor of a high-level mage from afar.

However, the high-level mage in front of him was obviously a little too young. Looking at that age, he was probably in his early twenties, nearly ten years younger than himself. But he is already a high-level mage, and he is still struggling with his mage apprenticeship.

Kokar has also experienced a lot of similar exclamations, so he just sighed a few times casually in his heart, and immediately put it away.

Compared to the young high-level mage, the female mage who followed closely behind and the woman in the purple robe were really mesmerizing and peerless beauties!

Regardless of the identities of the two women, the pink and slender eyebrows, deep and bright pupils, the plump and seductive red lips, and the fair and delicate face are not comparable to the vulgar fans that Kokar usually sees.

Dressed in a mid-level mage robe, he was gentle and intelligent, but it was extremely in line with the mage's apprentice's imagination of the goddess of magic; One was dressed in a purple soft robe, with a crisp and free gesture, and there was some arrogance in his indifferent expression. Although the two girls have their own temperaments, they are both so beautiful that they dare not face them......

"This is Oneros City, right?" It was the young high-ranking mage who was questioned, a young and handsome young face that made Kokar full of jealousy, although his status was so noble, but the tone of the question was extremely gentle.

"Yes, Venerable Mage!" Kokar didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "This is the city of Oneros." I don't know what the adults want, but Kokar, an apprentice affiliated with the Istil Mage Tower, will be happy to serve you! ”

The young high-ranking mage did not answer his question, and the three of them raised their heads and looked up at the ancient and old tower in front of them with infinite affection, sighing and sighing for a long time.

After a long time, he casually left the next sentence, "We are going to enter the tower", and the young mage led the two women into the tower with the door open. The stunned Kokal and the group of adventurers who were hiding nearby and did not disperse couldn't help but look at each other, really not understanding the origin and purpose of these mages.

But they didn't wait long, only half an hour later, the tower that had been silent for a long time suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound, and the ground trembled slightly.

With the opening of the mana pool and the full activation of the tower's defense mechanism, the dust and debris attached to the tower body fell like raindrops under the rejection of the inexplicable force field. The dazzling magic aura began to light up layer by layer along the body of the tower, and the mysterious arcane runes loomed in the sea of light, and the everlasting lamp on the top of the tower radiated a thousand feet of glory, penetrating the thick clouds, dispelling the morning mist, and showing his majestic and perfect body in front of everyone again.

The tower was activated.

The mysterious tower, which has been sealed for half a year, has once again ushered in its own owner!

At this moment, the entire city of Oneros shook.

As a child of the Kingdom of Breeland, all the commoners, freelancers, and vagrants in Oneros City are subject to the natural jurisdiction of the local nobles, all of whom are the city lord Rudis? Loyal vassal of Viscount Carmen. But everyone knows in their hearts that the real voice in Oneros City is actually the guild mage who sits in the tower.

Mages may not like too much secular intrusion, and rarely directly meddle in the specific affairs of the territory, but according to some unwritten rules, these mages sitting in the mage tower are the real masters of the area ruled by the mage tower. And those nobles, to put it mildly, are the mainstay of the kingdom, the political allies of the mages, and to put it mildly, they are just alternative stewards when the mages neglect to manage the territory.

Therefore, when the light on the tower is lit, all who can see its brilliance know that the true owner of this territory has appeared!
