"what happened……"

Hearing this inquiry, Ronald could guess Almonte's state at this moment without looking back.

The middle-aged archmage confirmed that Ronald was ordered by Majer to come to pick him up. But in essence, he still could not immediately trust Ronald, a complete stranger to the young man.

So this question is just to test yourself.

Regarding Almonte's distrust behind him, Ronald quickly analyzed in his mind. When he then opened his mouth to answer, his pace did not slow down because of this:

"Mr. Almont, [Larchmont], in fact, I just came here, so I don't know anything else."

"But Mr. Majer seems to have some new views on that experiment, the one that requires you to come here, and this change has a deep relationship with me."

"Just because of the reliability of the statement of the problem, I think it is more appropriate for you to ask Mr. Majer for the details in person."

"..."

"So that's it."

Regarding Ronald's answer, Almonte was noncommittal and only used a very simple sentence to show that he knew.

Then the five of them entered the castle and walked along the long stairs to the top.

The archmage didn't say another word.

Even when Ronald introduced his identity, it was because the three apprentices behind Almonte asked out of curiosity that he simply responded.

At this moment, the journey through the ancient castle is smooth.

More than ten minutes passed, and they followed the winding road of the castle all the way up, and finally arrived at the top of the mountain where the castle was located, which was also the highest point in the entire city.

Archmage Majer, who came here first, is standing here.

In front of the old magician, first of all, there was a hemisphere with a structure similar to a star track. There were many complex mechanical structures in it, and the material itself was also engraved with dense spell runes.

Even excluding the exquisite manufacturing process.

On the mysterious side, it is definitely a rare treasure.

On the further left and right sides of the square, there are sacrificial altars and prayer platforms made of different materials. Their shapes are full of ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and you can tell at a glance that many powerful mysterious rituals have been held.

As for where Ronald and the others came up...

Here, the spiral staircase built on the side of the mountain is directly connected to the vault below the castle. If you look in the opposite direction to Archmage Majer, you can see a very grand staircase extending down the hillside.

.

It's just that this staircase does not connect to any physical building, it only exists for decoration.

If someone really went all the way down the stairs from this platform, they would eventually miss the mark and fall into the abyss between the castle towers at the bottom of the mountain.

The highest point of the entire island, an open environment, and a design that is almost isolated from the buildings below.

Plus three facilities with different locations and functions.

There is no doubt that this is the best place that can meet most requirements and be used to hold various types of ceremonies!

"..."

"Teacher, Almonte is here as promised!"

At this time, the middle-aged Almont took a step forward.

The archmage may have been cautious and wary before, but after seeing the back of his teacher Majer, all worries disappeared in his excited heart.

Almonte's idea is simple.

His teacher is standing here intact, so no one in the world with evil thoughts can deceive this wise elder, let alone conquer him with force.

Even if there is something wrong with the young man next to him, Ronald.

With Majer present and himself standing here, all problems are no longer problems.

"Child, you are here."

At this time, the Archmage who was adjusting the star track arrangement also turned his head. He looked at Almonte who was approaching him, then nodded to Ronald who was further away, and then looked at the students who had already arrived in front of him.

He continued to speak, but his tone was a little hesitant:

"I'm really happy that you can come as promised."

"But today, what I want to say may be a little hard for you to accept for a while..."

Hearing Majer's voice, Almonte felt a little unbelievable for a moment.

At least in his memory, his teacher Majer had never shown such a tone and attitude as today!

"Teacher, what makes you feel troubled?"

"If I can help, I'm willing to help you eliminate all enemies in your way..."

While speaking, Almonte's body began to surge with strong magic power!

He obviously had a preconceived idea that Ronald next to him was the culprit that caused all this to happen - in fact, his guess was not wrong.

So out of an eagerness to protect his teacher.

This middle-aged original holder has quickly switched to fighting mode!

However, before Almonte could make more moves, Majer standing in front of him interrupted his movements:

"Almonte, calm down!"

"Don't choose violence when your mind is confused, let alone follow animal nature when your emotions are intense. Those who have power must always warn themselves and don't go astray because of this!"

"..."

When his student was about to act impulsively, Majer immediately reprimanded him severely. The Archmage's rebuke did not contain magic power, but it had a shocking temperament.

Standing in front of Majer, Almonte was already a powerful spellcaster in middle age, and his strength was at one of its peak periods in his life.

But faced with the rebuke from his teacher, he quickly regained his composure, and then lowered his head towards the old man in front of him:

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I was impulsive."

"Please also tell me what happened here and the reason for your wavering."

Seeing Almont show such a posture.

Majer's tone also returned to the gentle tone when he spoke before:

"Son, of course I will tell you everything."

"Come and adjust the star paths with me, and you will understand then."

After hearing Majer's instructions, Almonte immediately stepped forward to help his teacher adjust the equipment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Majer shouted to Ronald behind him:

"Ronald, it is rather complicated to modify the purpose of the entire ceremony. I'm afraid it will take more time than originally planned."

Ronald immediately asked:

"How long will it be delayed?"

Majer turned his head, staring at the hemisphere in front of him, and after some estimation, he replied to Ronald:

"At least not until nightfall."
Chapter completed!
