"This is the stargazing area of the college, and there are a lot of people ...... at night."

Ronald and Sinovi walk in the stargazing area of Barrier Mountain.

The scenery here is indeed as good as Sinovi said before.

The combination of snow on the top of the mountain at night, the north wind blowing in the distance, and the false but unique starry sky gives people this quiet beauty that belongs to nature.

Just walking on the road here, Ronald felt that his depressed mood was somewhat soothed.

However, it is also like Synovi said.

A place with such a beautiful view, there is no sign of anyone tonight.

There were hardly many people to be seen in the corridor built against the hill except for them, and as they went up the mountain road, two towers appeared in front of Ronald.

"Oh?"

Ronald raised an eyebrow.

He had already seen the organizational system of the Barrier Mountain Academy before.

In this 'kingdom' ruled by wizards, only the core of a discipline is eligible to build its own magical tower.

But the two in front of me are not very different.

The magical fluctuations surrounding the tower had long since dissipated, and Ronald couldn't even feel the breath of someone moving inside. Quietly watching each other's towers, it was as if they had been deliberately abandoned in the wilderness.

This is a barrier mountain!

No matter how down-and-out the discipline is......

It's not like there's not even a janitor at night, right?

So, as it stands, Ronald spoke with questions:

"Synovia, these two towers ......"

Sinovi was not surprised by Ronald's puzzled tone, but explained it simply and directly:

"Drake, you just came to Barrier Mountain, and you don't know what's going on here."

"Actually, nine years ago, this stargazing area was still the headquarters of the Astronomy Department, but after the newly appointed tower master completely dominated the original text......

From the decisive answer at the beginning, to the current tone of hesitation.

Signovi had only said a few words before his face looked troubled.

Standing there like this for a few seconds, Sinovi spoke again:

"It happened before I entered the academy, and I heard about it a long time ago. The current tower master of the astronomy department is a powerful wizard with a very tough personality, and after taking office, he directly carried out a purge of the opposition forces in the school, and the magic tower inherited from the stargazing area was also abandoned here at that time. ”

"Later, a few years later, the two abandoned towers were stripped of their value by several great wizards, and they were left here as abandoned buildings."

“……”

Ronald nodded in thanks, and followed Sinovi's words and said:

"Synovia, the new tower master of the Astronomy Division, do you know about her?"

"New Tower Master ......"

Signovi looked hesitant.

But because Ronald followed the topic of the question, Sinovi didn't delve into it. After a few seconds of thinking about it and restarting the walk, she explained to Ronald at the same time:

"Since I entered the academy, there seems to be no movement in the astronomy department, and I don't usually see them actively participating in the academy's spell seminars. The tower master...... I remember calling Caterina here, and we didn't usually hear anything about her in the academy. ”

“……”

"If you want to know my deeds, why don't you ask me personally?"

Ronald had wanted to continue talking to Sinovi.

However, before he could speak, a figure half-leaning on the side of the road stepped out of the darkness and took up Synovi's introduction.

Bright red hair, aggressive smile, confident and playful eyes......

The person waiting here is none other than the astronomical tower master who Ronald and Sinovi are talking to.

- Katarina.

“……”

Ronald looked at Caterina in front of him in silence.

And beside him, Sinovi, who is one of the members of the barrier mountain, also realized the identity of the red-haired girl in front of Carter.

Subconsciously took a step back, and Sinovi's tone was already trembling when he spoke:

"Tower...... Tower Master ......"

"That's me, little one." Caterina smiled at Signovi as she always had before. Walking two steps to the side of Sinovi, who was so shocked that she couldn't move, Caterina reached out and brushed the hair of the girl in front of her, and then said in a tone that could not be refused:

"It's so late, go back and rest."

"This man is not something you should be in contact with."

“……”

Between the advice of a tower owner and a promising handsome guy, Sinovi decisively relented. Nodding apologetically to Ronald, Sinovi turned around and ran in the direction she was coming from.

Ronald looked at Synovi, who trotted away.

I can understand the other party's choice in my heart, but it still feels weird.

"How...... Can't bear the girl you fancied? At this moment, Caterina walked up to Ronald and said in a seductive tone, "Now go back and chase after it, maybe it's too late." ”

Ronald naturally couldn't be like Caterina said.

He turned to look at the smiling red-haired girl in front of him, and then said in a calm tone:

"Lord Tower, you came here to find me tonight, there must be something, right?"

Ronald found out earlier in the morning that Caterina was living in the tower of the astronomy department.

The distance between the towers on both sides, and considering the significance of this abandoned tower, it is certainly impossible for Caterina to come and take a walk without idleness.

As for the reason for the Astronomical Tower Master to come here......

It can only be Ronald, the new great wizard of astronomy.

Ronald's guess was correct.

Hearing his inquiry, Caterina also raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Didn't I come looking for you?"

"When you left during the day, you said that you would come early the next day, but you came to this kind of couple's holy place with other girls that night. If I don't come to beat the mandarin ducks, how can you come there early tomorrow morning. ”

“……”

Ronald scratched his hair.

Caterina's words...... There is some truth to it.

But now is not the time to dwell on this issue.

Just now, Sinovico also said that the current astronomy department usually doesn't have any big moves, and even the frequency of communication with the wizards in the barrier mountain is very low.

Can make such a Caterina break the rules.

The importance of the previous instructions during the day and the fact that I came here to stop people at night can be imagined.

So Ronald straightened the collar of his wizard's robes.

Then he straightened up, and asked Caterina in a serious tone:

"So Lord Tower, what the hell is it that came to me so late?"

“……”

Looking at Ronald with a straight face, Caterina smiled.

Then the head of the astronomy department replied in a very calm tone:

"To keep going, of course."

"My dear outsider—Mr. Ronald Adler."
