Magic Tower Starry Sky

In the winter of the year 751 of the Aran calendar, there was a magic circle city on the side of the Twin Towers of the Gate, the Marquis Balan's Mansion.

As soon as the maid Lily walked out of the room, she was hit by the cold wind and sneezed hard.

She had just been sent to the Twin Towers of Gates from the Marquis Territory for less than a month, and she was a little uncomfortable with the winter in the North. I had to put down the big basket in my hand, stretched my hands out of the snow coat, put them in front of my mouth, breathed in, and rubbed them vigorously.

For ease of movement, she did not wear those heavy cotton gloves. At this time, a pair of white hands looked red from rubbing again and again.

She had just turned fourteen and was born into a minor aristocrat who had served the Marquis Balan family for generations. When she came of age, she was sent to this distant enclave by her family in exchange for an eldest girl from the same family, so that she could go back and get married.

This is the norm for nobles. Unless they are deeply loved by the higher-ranking nobles and stay by their side, this kind of service time is for the young nobles to learn etiquette and housekeeping at the same time.

It’s almost until you find your next family, you can marry, or there are other members of the family who can take this position. And Lily would be sent to this place closest to the Marquis by the family patriarch, which is considered very important.

Of course, this little girl who has just grown up will remember this favor. People born in the aristocracy rarely raise such ungrateful white-eyed wolves. After all, distinguishing right from wrong is the first step in protecting yourself wisely.

However, even if it was a kindness to be close to the Marquise, the weather in the north was still difficult to adapt to. Especially a girl like her who is new here.

"Lily, let's go."

The person who spoke was the head maid. She and her husband were permanently stationed in the mansion at the Twin Towers of the Gate, managing the people coming and going. At this time, she was personally holding a large wooden box, leading two other maids who were also holding wooden boxes, and calling to the little maid who came out first.

A group of four people approached the magic tower directly opposite the door. Lily couldn't help but look to the left, at another mansion next to the Marquis Mansion.

That house with several statues on the roof, gold bricks, and lavish decoration is the main control center of Shield City's magic circle, and it is also the most important organ of Shield City, the city council known as the 'Shield of Lost Lands' 's location.

Because the parliament hall is named the 'Shield of Lost Lands', it is known as the first line of defense against the invasion of abyssal demons. Therefore, this magic circle city is called "Shield City".

I heard that the city council originally requested to be located at the current location of the Marquis Balan Palace. Because this location is closest to the main entrance of the Magic Tower, it is also the center point of Shield City's design.

Among the ten members of the city council, six belong to the nobles of the two empires of Gvarna and Haider; among the remaining four, one each belongs to the Karlsruhe Empire, the Vidal Military State, and the Suritan Empire. . The last one is the representative chosen by other forces.

With such political strength on the table, any small country would tremble. Even the higher-ranking nobles such as the Marquis of Balan and the Grand Duke of Kavi of the Gwana Empire had to give in when they came forward, let alone Marquis Balan, who only had the second-level title of Grand Duke.

But what the tower owner said: "My apprentice's house should be closer to me, right?"

Then the city council fell silent and obediently chose the house next door.

The tower owners of the magic tower don't care about things. This is just their attitude. It's not that they can't take care of it, nor that they dare not take care of it. Instead, we have to turn it upside down and say, if the tower owner wants to take control, how dare the city council resist?

Therefore, the Marquis Balan's Mansion became the only house in Shield City that was not under the jurisdiction of the city council. Otherwise, the city council would have to take care of all matters in Shield City. Even if it is the renovation and decoration of a house, it is a serious crime in Shield City to modify it without permission.

But those things were too far away from Lily. The reason why she paid attention to the parliament hall next to her was because the basket in her hand was full of official documents that the parliament wanted to send to the Magic Tower.

As mentioned above, the Magic Tower has an attitude of not doing anything, and there are no explicit regulations or contracts written in black and white. Therefore, the city council will always write the resolutions and requests to the Magic Tower into official documents, and send them to the tower through the servants of the Marquis Balan's Mansion...to be destroyed.

Yes. During the days when she came to the Marquis Balan's Mansion, Lily entered the magic tower more than once. Apart from being a little uneasy the first time, after that it was like visiting the homes of those high-ranking nobles. As long as you keep your status, everything will be fine.

Lily had met the tower master more than once, as well as the master she served, the Marquis Balan. It's just that her status is still too low, and the affairs she is responsible for are peripheral matters, so she was not able to talk directly with the two big shots.

What Lily did most was to deliver official documents from the city council to the third person in the tower, the tower owner's guard, Mr. Stone.

This guard, who looks somewhat handsome, has fair skin, but does not have much expression. Every time he gets an official document from the city council, he will open it and review it.

Most of them will be directly thrown into the furnace for destruction, and only a few will be forwarded to the tower owner, but usually nothing happens. In the case of forwarding, there may not be one for several days. Lily has never seen anything that could get a reply.

The city council didn't care about such things. Perhaps those gentlemen wished that the Magic Tower would simply ignore the requirements in the official document. It's just that no one dares to treat the magic tower as if it doesn't exist when people are within the attack range of the magic tower. So just express it.

With Lily's current status, of course she has no control over the affairs of the superiors. While Stone was picking up the paper, reading it, and burning it after reading, Lily noticed that several maids who were accompanying her were busy.

The wooden boxes in their hands actually contained food cooked by the chefs in the Marquis's Mansion. One belongs to the tower owner and Lord Stone; one belongs to their master, the Marquis; and the other belongs to...

"Ah, Lily, I see you again. Sister is so happy."

At the same time as the voice came, the little maid couldn't escape even if she wanted to. She was attacked from behind, her whole body was held in a soft embrace, and her face was ravaged like mochi. Her hair, which was **** with a bandage, was combed around, making her look like a crazy woman.

Without looking, Lily knew that the person coming was the apprentice of the tower master on the abyss side of the Twin Towers of Gates, and one of her master's only friends, Lord Hallumi.

His face was rubbed so much that he could only pout and say a vague greeting: "Good day, sister."

"Yes, I am an older sister too. I am so happy." Halumi showed her 'love' to her heart's content, with neither light nor heavy hands.

Lily felt very painful. It was not easy to comb her somewhat stiff hair. Every morning when I wake up, I am always worried about my unkempt hair. Then when I meet this sister, I have to worry again...

But she couldn't resist such atrocities, whether it was the gap in status or the gap in strength. Anyway, it was just getting my face rubbed, my **** rubbed, my belly rubbed, and my **** rubbed. If you can't resist, just enjoy it.

…Hmm, who said that strange thing?

"What, do you want to come with me to the other side and have a look?" Halumi asked while bullying others.

The little maid said helplessly: "Sister, I can't get through that door. How do I get through?"

The Twin Towers of the Gate are built on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss. It is very convenient to pass through, but after all, it is not more convenient than opening two connecting doors directly in the tower.

As a lazy cancer patient, flash surgery can solve most of the travel troubles, which is a good thing. But except for Fen, everyone around him has not yet reached such a height and can only walk on two legs. Go out of the tower, pass through the gate of the abyss, and then enter the tower.

Although the Twin Towers of the Gate are two towers, and each tower has its own tower owner, in Lin's mind, the two towers are still one. To embody this concept of ‘integration’, transportation must be convenient.

In order to achieve this, and to facilitate the people around him, Lin built a portal based on the flash technique on the two towers. In a magic tower with an energy pool, building this semi-permanent switchable transmission channel is not a waste at all.

However, in order to prevent someone from using the internal teleportation gate of the Twin Towers to go to another tower to cause trouble, especially when demons use the magic tower on the abyss side to directly enter the magic tower on the mystery side, in order to avoid the demons passing through the gate of the abyss, Rules that will be attacked by magic towers.

Therefore, Lin has set a whitelist limit for the use of the portal inside the Twin Towers of Gates. A total of only six people can freely pass through that door, Lin, Fen, Halumi, Kaya, Marquis Balan and Stone, the former commander of the Guards of the Dark Legion.

When people other than these six people try to open the portal to another tower, the enemy encounter mechanism in the magic tower will be triggered, and they will be beaten to death or run away.

At the same time, portals based on flash will also randomly bring in flash parameters. This is equivalent to the extra-dimensional exile technique that someone once used, throwing those who tried to pass without permission to an unknown place, regardless of life or death.

Even if those six people lead the way, they can't pass through the portal. Unless Lin or Fen personally uses the Flash Technique to lead people, they will just have to walk through the Abyss Gate outside the tower to reach the other side.

So Lily simply ignored Hallumi's suggestion. The head maid had repeatedly emphasized the warning about the magic tower when she first arrived. People who don't believe in evil are dead. Don't believe in their level of kindness under the eyes of a magician.

Halumi let go of the little maid in her arms. Like the elf, the toes touched the ground slightly, floating flexibly, and turned to the front of Lily.

Her neck-length wavy blond hair swayed in motion and reflected a little bit of light, making her look extremely beautiful. The white robe also shows the smooth color unique to silk, and the faint white pattern is even more faintly visible.

At this time, she had a look of regret on her face, as if she had just remembered that the portal in the tower did not accept outsiders. She muttered: "What a pity." while accepting the wooden box handed to her by the other maid. Inside is lunch for three people to take back to another tower.

Suddenly a thin voice came from the other end and said: "Halumi, the teacher is looking for you." Marquis Balan, who was covered in a black robe, was standing on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor. central.

Halumi put the wooden box back into the maid's hand and said in a low voice: "Take it first, I'll come back later." He turned back and trotted towards the stairs, saying: "Here you go. Sister, I'm looking for you." What’s going on, do you know?”

The Marquise didn't answer, she just shook her head and leaned against the wall to make room for the stairs.
