Chapter 14 Tessa

Colin forgot how long he had been in the room. When he felt hungry, he realized that he was already sitting on the floor.

It seems that dinner must have been missed.

He recalled where Romain Sagan was when he left and easily found the door to the room.

He opened the door anxiously and stuck his head out.

He thought that if it was already night, he would just go back and stay until dawn to avoid causing trouble to others.

The space outside the room is larger than inside, but there is not enough light. You can vaguely see a huge column in the middle and a circle of stairs spiraling up.

Colin quickly realized that this should be the middle part of the mage tower.

"So it looks like this inside." Colin, who entered the inside of the mage tower for the first time, observed very curiously and carefully.

The so-called mage tower, from the appearance, is probably equivalent to a huge chimney, with a big bottom and a small top. Colin, who is obviously on the first floor, can feel that the bottom area of ​​Roman Sagan's mage tower is by no means smaller than that of the academy.

The playground is surrounded by rooms that go up one level at a time and are so high that they don’t even reach the top.

The stairs spiraling up around the giant pillars stretch out narrow walkways leading to the rooms. Looking from the bottom up, it actually has a futuristic industrial style.

Moreover, I missed three meals and was completely exhausted.

"Thank you, senior sister." Knowing that it was Tessa who helped him, Colin quickly thanked him.

As Tessa spoke, she carefully handed over a handkerchief and motioned for Colin to wipe the sauce from the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, the other party quickly introduced himself with a smile:

In this world where dark cuisine is everywhere, it is not easy to eat something so delicious. The texture and deliciousness of the steak are no less than the Western food I had in my previous life. The only drawback is that the sauce is not rich enough and is obviously spiced.

Not enough variety.

Colin took one look at this white and fragrant handkerchief, shook his head resolutely, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"The Magic Tower has a total of twenty-five floors. The top floor is the teacher's bedroom, study and laboratory. Below is the Glen Knight's room and training room. I live on the twenty-third floor, and Mrs. Muller lives on the twenty-first floor.

The tenth floor is the servant's room, and the twenty-second floor is reserved for you."

"Huh?" Colin didn't understand what he meant.

Colin turned around suddenly and saw a woman wearing a large black magic robe standing quietly behind him. The sudden drop of her gaze showed that she was looking up like Colin.

"Ah?" Colin was stunned for a moment. He thought he had only been in the room for a few hours, but it turned out that a whole day had passed.

He couldn't remember how many floors he walked. Even with the help of Tessa's wind magic, Colin was gradually unable to bear it.

"This is Mrs. Mueller's room." Tessa said, knocking on the door of a room.

Not bad.

Suddenly he felt a lightness on his body, and a stream of air carried him upwards, and he immediately became much more relaxed.

In fact, although the Magic Tower is majestic, its structure is very simple. It is nothing more than a large chimney with a circle of rooms.

Why are you so close to the teacher?

Colin did not ask immediately, but followed Tessa and continued walking.



"Ah... yes." Ke Lin was stared at by the other party's pure and flawless eyes, and he greeted a little unnaturally: "Hello..."

The door opens.

I live downstairs from my senior sister?

"If you come out two quarters earlier, you can hear the sound of the clock tower in the city... It is already three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. Not only did you miss yesterday's dinner, but also today's breakfast and lunch."

Maybe there are not so many things to pay attention to in this world, but we travelers from a land of etiquette really can't accept calling fellow students by their first names, especially for such an elegant, beautiful and quiet senior sister.

"The teacher asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment first, but I think you need food more now. How about a juicy steak and baked potatoes?" Tessa looked at the new junior brother and said with a smile.

"Hello, Colin."

"My name is Tessa, and I am the teacher's first disciple. You can call me Tessa directly, or you can follow the custom of the classical magic period and call me senior sister."

Only then did Colin discover that the passage connecting the stairs on each floor to the walkway outside the room was marked with floor numbers, and this happened to be the twenty-first floor.

While my thoughts were swirling, I heard a gentle female voice behind me:



Just listen to Tessa say: "Junior brother doesn't know magic yet, so it's really difficult to walk so far."

But who is Glen Knight?

"Hello, senior sister." Ke Lin hurriedly greeted him.

The woman smiled warmly: "If Mr. Gale doesn't spell it wrong, your last name should be Wayne, right?"

After putting the potatoes into his mouth with the last bit of sauce, Colin let out a long breath.

Tessa seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled gently: "It seems that junior brother needs two steaks and potatoes?"

"Yeah." Colin nodded politely.

He didn't know how to address the other person for a while. Although there was a high probability that this person was the other disciple mentioned by the teacher, it would be really embarrassing if he was wrong.

"This mage tower was built specifically for the teacher by His Majesty the King 46 years ago. It is said that it cost an entire earldom a year's tax."

"Sorry to trouble you, senior sister."

Colin had never walked up such a high staircase, and it was already a bit difficult to go up to the sixth floor, but when he looked up, he still couldn't see the top.

In fact, the word "senior sister" was a proper noun in the classical magic period. It initially referred to all female magicians with a higher level than oneself, and later gradually evolved to mean the same sect. However, because it retains the meaning of the classical period,

Habit, the affix of this word is very long, which makes it awkward and troublesome to pronounce in spoken language. Therefore, in modern times, many magicians have given up using it.

"Mrs. Muller's craftsmanship is among the best in the entire Thunder City, but her power in using spices makes many nobles afraid to hire her."

Well, Roy's wording in this regard is indeed always vivid and appropriate.

Colin's first reaction was: it must have cost a lot of money to build this tower.

After coming out of the "restaurant" on the ground floor, Tessa took him up the tower floor by floor.

Finally, Tessa stopped.

Strong concentration is indeed a good thing, but the disadvantage is that it can easily starve to death.

Considering that the spices in this world are worth as much as gold, Roy would probably have to miss ten trips to the Moulin Rouge if he wanted to eat such a meal out.

Colin, who was already hungry, felt his stomach cramp instantly when he heard these two words. He nodded eagerly, and then said politely:

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Senior Sister. You should have all had dinner by now."

Tessa looked at him with a little surprise, then smiled and said:

"The teacher once said that to go further on the path of magic, you must be able to endure loneliness and have concentration that ordinary people don't have. This is indeed true."

Tessa took back the veil and said with a smile: "You stayed up all night last night, but I don't recommend going to bed immediately. It's better to hold on for a while and wait until dusk before going to bed. This way, day and night will not be reversed. Taking advantage of this time, I will take you

Get familiar with the environment here."

An almost spherical body squeezes out of the door frame.

He had never eaten such delicious food "in his life".

"Oh, little Tessa, you must have brought that junior brother to see me."

A short, fat, middle-aged woman came over with her short legs circling, and said in an extremely enthusiastic tone:

"Sure enough, I guessed right. The master's new disciple is just a standard young gentleman, except that he is as skinny as little Tessa."

Colin looked at his typical civilian attire and his figure, which although not fat, was not close to thin, and he couldn't tell how he looked like a thin gentleman.
