Chapter 22 Expulsion Technique
The wizard Duhere sat silently in the tavern that was open all night, but he was not the only one sitting alone today.
"The tower has appeared, and the calculation of the Star Pan Witch is indeed correct." The low voice was hoarse and dull, with a hissing tail sound, like a poisonous snake slowly moving on the sand.
There were three people sitting at the table, Du Heil and the wizard who spoke were wearing black robes. Unlike the low-key two, the remaining one was wearing a bright red star robes. Even among magicians, they rarely saw such "cool" robes.
"Snake man, how could the calculation of the Great Witch be wrong? What's more, this is just an abandoned Great Witch Tower." The female voice came from the red robe. No, it should be like a female voice. A neutral tone could still be heard in the vocal cords that could be raised.
The snake man hissed twice in dissatisfaction, but he stopped talking. The three of them were both wizards, but the red robe was the highest level and was also the closest to the Great Witch.
Like Duhere, he was just an introductory wizard, and came here to see if he could obtain the inheritance of the great wizard and gain further qualifications on the path of great wizards.
Unlike mage warriors, wizards are far less detailed in grades. After advancing from apprentices, for most wizards, lifelong wizards are just wizards.
Only a very small number of wizards can advance to great wizards and have hidden in the astral realm connecting the endless world.
The different research directions of wizards have led to their different powers and knowledge. There is no difference in this book, but the fact that they follow the local customs is not just a specialty of Arthur's world.
In a world where you can see the division of classes everywhere, even wizards are inevitably divided into levels, combat power, and knowledge. The red-robed wizard is obviously stronger than the other two black-robed wizards.
The red robe is not a representative of the class, it is just the personal preference of this neutral wizard. Each wizard has its own characteristics, the "kind" Duhere, the gloomy snake man, and the unique red robe.
At this time, the three of them were staring at the direction of the tower, and they were also waiting for the opportunity. They would never join in the fun. When the night was late, it was time to act.
The gorgeously dressed mayor in the square finally invited an old man who knew he was really like him. Compared with the records left in the past, he finally confirmed that every decades, there will always be such an "accident" on the tower.
I'm afraid the most disappointing among the crowd were those young people who just participated in the middle of the night climbing the tower this year. They are often the first time they have obtained such an opportunity, just like Ade.
This is also a tradition in Morado. Only when you are 16 years old can you personally experience the intensity of climbing the tower in the middle of the night for the first time.
A large part of this is to protect those children who are too young. If they encounter young and strong children like Ade and too young, they may not be able to stand up again if they fall.
Arthur, who had just left the house at this time, didn't know what was going on. He looked at the river with a headache and actually forgot something very important.
"Damn it, do you have to wait for Ade to come back from rowing?" Arthur was a little distressed. The boat was actually on the other side that could be seen by the naked eye.
Climbing a tower is not a matter of minutes. Some people will stay in the tower for a few hours, such as his good brother, who spent 16 hours at the longest time in the tower. When facing the last chance, God knows when he will come back this time.
"Forget it, there's no one anyway." Arthur looked around with the oil lamp, lifted up his robe, took off his pants, shoes and socks and hugged it in his hand.
After finding the mark on the sidewalk, he entered the river barefoot, and the cold river water hit his calf. Arthur could only adjust his balance while crossing the river carefully.
"Is it considered exposing to cross the river in the middle of the night?" Arthur was wearing his pants and shook his head and lamented. It seemed that he should find an opportunity to get a small boat for himself.
Huh? The firelight, Arthur didn't walk long towards the town, but he found that there were many firelights swarming out from the town.
"Is something unexpected happening?"
It was obviously a bit too abnormal at this time. After the tower appeared, the celebrations of ordinary residents had to last at least 1-2 hours. Arthur originally planned to sneak into the tower while everyone left, but who would have thought that the crowd had already left at this time.
"Is it because the tower appeared early?" The time of the Wizard Tower appeared every time was uncertain, but most of them were concentrated in a time period. Unless the time of occurrence was greatly advanced, how could such a change occur?
His questions were solved soon. Almost all the residents around him were discussing this issue, and some young people could also hear cursing, obviously very disappointed with the accident.
Arthur did not participate in it, but instead walked around the road towards the town. There were fewer people here, so naturally there would not be too much contact.
Even if there is a problem with the tower, the Tower Climbing Festival has not changed much. For most adults, tower climbing has long been no longer the theme. The unlimited drinking celebration after the tower appears is the reason why they don’t sleep in the middle of the night.
"It seems that Melissa is right, this year is really special." When we came outside the tower, many people tried to enter the tower. Arthur thought about it and found a staircase casually. After sitting down, he watched the crowd gradually dispersing.
Arthur was a little suspicious before, but seeing the real change, he felt that it was true. He carried his backpack and felt that the magic book and wooden box were stored in it. He continued to wait patiently, looking for an opportunity to enter the tower.
"Let's go..."
"Yes, it's time to go home."
"I have to work tomorrow."
"Zzzz...Hey, it's time to go home and sleep."
"I'm... not right, what's going on?"
Suddenly, the crowd in the square moved abnormally. Yes, everyone seemed to have found a reason to go home. The crowd quickly dispersed. Even the strong man who was drunk on the ground stood up and left. At this moment, only the garbage on the ground and Arthur hiding in the corner were left in the square.
"Don't look at it, it's soul magic and expulsion technique. Those wizards can't wait, kaku!" The sound of a demon came from the backpack.
Arthur secretly wiped his sweat. It seemed that he was right to bring out the Demon Summoning Book. He had expected that he might meet a wizard again, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Last time Arthur successfully dispelled the wizard's curse by relying on his contract with the demon, and this time he carried it with him, the effect was obviously stronger.
Arthur reacted almost the moment he was affected, but he couldn't help but sigh in secretly about the magic of magic.
