Colby, who is the person in charge of the Shadow House Ring, feels that this time is really not going well.

The tasks assigned by the headquarters of the House of Shadows not only require a lot of time to process, but also do not necessarily produce results, which are far less refreshing than the exploration or pursuit missions accepted at the headquarters.

Moreover, the task of finding the core of the magic weapon entrusted by Mentor Algernon, if it weren't for his greed, it is estimated that he would not have fallen to the current state.

The hijacking of the office at the House of Shadows was a nightmare, and although he had been a little too oppressed by Stacy, Colby still haunted the torture he had endured before he could tell everything.

Ever since he became a respected official wizard, Colby couldn't remember being treated like this, not even from the injuries he had suffered from hunting monsters in the northern part of the Circle.

Those things as thin as hair, after piercing into the body, made him feel that it was better to die at that moment, and the sharp pain from the depths of his soul made him understand that "life is better than death" is real.

But fortunately, he told everything immediately, and this torture ended immediately, and this Raymond even wanted to go to the trouble of the mentor, which was really beyond his strength!

They were abducted for five days, and along the way, while sober, Colby carefully observed the two men.

Raymond is a pharmacist in the House of Shadows, and he is only a second-level wizard in the record, and the beautiful girl who followed him, in Colby's opinion, has surpassed Raymond's strength, but what puzzled Calby was that this girl called Anita seemed to be Raymond's disciple, and it was a bit subversive of the wizarding law that respected strength.

Unfortunately, the last negotiation after arriving in the valley failed, and Colby really couldn't understand Raymond's purpose, because it was similar to this violation. Even according to the strictest punishment of the House of Shadows, he only needs to pay a large amount of materials to compensate, at most the number is only a quantity, and there can be no other consequences.

Thinking of this, Colby, who sighed secretly, watched the big goblin of the wind system leave, and was picked up by the beautiful porcelain girl Anita with him, and entered the valley and appeared at the door of the wizard tower.

Standing in the middle of the valley, this wizard's tower was the fortress of Mentor Algernon, and Colby, who struggled to hold his head high, knew that this time he could not avoid the punishment of his mentor.

The first persecution of Raymond's daughter, Stacy. Although he accepted the task of finding the core of the magic weapon, the last two times were not what Mentor Algernon meant, but he himself wanted to increase some income, but who would have thought that this missing Raymond would be able to reappear!

There was remorse in his heart, but Colby was black when he wanted to speak. Fell into a coma again.

Anita, the porcelain girl who casually threw Colby on the ground, had doubts on her face. "Your Excellency. What is this guy going to do?"

Raymond, who was observing the wizarding tower in front of him with his hands on his back. He didn't give an answer, but glanced at the guy who had been knocked unconscious by the porcelain girl Anita, and then looked at the wizard tower in front of him again.

Only a few tens of meters high, this wizarding tower is a bit old, and the hexagonal wizard tower, with the mottled façade and the flourishing creepers, almost cover the following floors. It makes this wizard's tower hidden in the valley seem a little full of life.

However, the stone carvings of the two demonic beasts on both sides of the gate of this wizard tower are hideous and terrifying, not like the shapes of the native creatures of the Fairy World.

Raymond, who spread his spiritual power out and wanted to check, soon found that this extremely ordinary-looking wizard tower was actually shrouded in some kind of isolation place. His mental power could not penetrate the walls.

Raymond, who had a smile on his face, did not increase the strength of his mental power to continue to test, but raised his right hand and knocked on the purple-black door a few times.

A "knock knock" sound followed, and Raymond's simple spell created a crash-like effect on the gate.

Anita, the porcelain girl standing beside Raymond, was a little surprised, because soon a huge energy fluctuation also poured out of the wizard tower, enveloping Raymond in it.

The colossal coercion made the air throb, but Raymond, who had a calm face, didn't care, just stood there smiling and waiting.

"Who dares to be so bold!"

With the appearance of an old voice, the purple-black door of the wizard's tower also burst open.

There was no one behind the open door, but Raymond let the unconscious Colby fly in with a wave of his hand. "Raymond from the House of Shadows came to visit, and by the way, one of your disciples was also sent. ”

"Very arrogant, come in!" the old man's voice was very calm, but a ray of light extending from the wizard's tower formed a passage on the ground like a guide.

Raising his legs and stepping onto the stone steps, Raymond, who was carrying his hands on his back, walked straight in, but the palm behind his back shook slightly, signaling the porcelain girl Anita to stay where she was.

The strength of the third-level wizard is still a certain threat to the porcelain girl Anita, so Raymond, who suppressed his own aura to the level of a second-level wizard, does not want the porcelain girl Anita to step into danger.

But before Raymond could step into the interior of the wizard tower, with the appearance of footsteps, the porcelain girl Anita followed behind, which made Raymond smile bitterly.

The carpet-like light indicated that the interior of the gloomy wizard's tower was a little eerie, and when Raymond walked into the hall, the door behind him creaked shut, making the hall even darker.

Scanning around, Raymond noticed that Colby, who had been thrown in earlier, was not in the middle of the hall, and had apparently been sent somewhere else.

The old man's voice sounded overhead, and Raymond, who looked up, saw a white-robed wizard on the corner spiral staircase, walking down from it. "Welcome, I'm Algernon, the master of the Shadow House, and you're ......"

"I'm Raymond, and I'm my disciple Anita," Raymond looked up, carefully examining the white-robed wizard's face. "Although we haven't met in person before, you won't forget who I am!"

Algernon, who was descending the stairs, looked at Raymond seriously with a sinking face.

A moment later, Algernon, who had an annoyed expression on his face, sneered. "It's you!"

"The core of the magic weapon full of resentment, Elebella who died on the grassland, and the words of the dark wizard Motima, it seems that you don't need to remind you to know the reason why I am here!"

With a wave of his hands, the spell lamps around the hall on the first floor of the Wizard's Tower, which was empty and dim, were immediately lit at the same time, and everything became unclear.

With a gloomy face and a faint glow of the force field on his body, Algernon slowly walked down the stairs, and as he approached, a colossal coercion enveloped the entire hall.

Anita, the porcelain girl standing behind her, let out a low exclamation, and Raymond, who had been smiling, immediately took a half step back, causing his protective force field to protect the Japanese girl Anita as well.

"Hand over the artifact core, maybe I can get you out safely," Algernon stopped with a look of surprise on his face. "It's a very clever aura, no wonder you dare to come here!"

"I've already given away the magic core, and I'm here to ask you for a few more of these things," Raymond chuckled, ignoring Algernon's threat. "And since you are the master of the Shadow House's magic weapon refining, then in order to compensate for the mistakes made by your disciple, you should also bear the corresponding liability for compensation!"

Algernon laughed with surprise on his face. "This is my wizard tower, didn't anyone tell you how much a wizard tower would increase your strength?"

"It's just a third-level wizard, and the gap in level can't be made up by a wizard tower," Raymond laughed, who raised a finger at Algernon. "A ...... that only has one chance" (to be continued......
