Chapter 1074 The old mage
Fischer walked slowly up the stairs wearing armor.
During this period, Ronald and Ilde stayed on both sides of the girl throughout the entire process to ensure that this attempt would not be interfered with by other parties.
But tell the truth.
The originally agile girl's movements inevitably became a bit funny after wearing such a heavy armor.
So after taking just a few steps, Ronald turned around and saw a smile on El's face - this guy couldn't help it anymore.
"Yeah!"
Realizing this, Ronald immediately gave El a wink.
After seeing Ronald's serious expression, Il was inspired, immediately put away his joy, and began to seriously guard Fischer's side.
Crack - Crack -
Fischer, wearing armor, walked up step by step. Accompanying the girl's footsteps was the crisp sound of iron pieces rubbing against each other. Moreover, with Ronald's excellent hearing, he could even hear Fischer's somewhat rapid breathing at this moment through the gap in his mask.
This experience of walking in armor is obviously a bit 'unique' for this girl.
Just like this step by step, the three of them arrived at the place where they had been sent back to the starting point many times before, and then Fischer continued upward.
Crack——
accompanied by crisp armor footsteps.
As Ronald and El watched, Fischer, wearing this armor, actually stepped onto the stairs that they had been unable to set foot on before.
In this way, they can reach higher places!
"..."
"Ronald, El, have I reached my position?"
At the same time, Fischer, who was wearing armor, asked.
As the experimenter of this experiment, she was trapped in such a full-body armor throughout the entire process, so even if Fischer paid attention to her position, it was easy to become uncertain in such a situation.
Ronald heard Fischer's question, so he calmed down his excitement and prepared to answer. As a result, after just a few seconds of hesitation, Il on the side spoke first:
"Yes, we are already at the position!"
"And Fischer, look at your feet! You have successfully crossed this height just now. We Next, you can..."
Brush-
El was very excited when he spoke, and wanted to hold Fischer in his arms.
As a result, just such an action of leaning her body forward immediately caused her to trigger the mechanism of the spell. So in the blink of an eye, El was teleported to the starting point under the stairs with the words he couldn't finish.
"..."
Yi Er blinked on the spot, and then immediately made up for his embarrassing situation:
"Look - I was teleported back, but you weren't!" "
..."
"Hahaha !"
Seeing El's appearance, Fischer, who was trapped in the armor, immediately laughed happily. Then the girl stretched out her hand and pulled away the visor on the helmet, and then continued to Ronald:
"In that case, Ronald, you and El should go find two pairs of armors, I'll wait here. You guys."
Ronald naturally nodded and responded:
"Then just wait a moment, we'll be back soon."
After saying that, Ronald turned and walked down the stairs, preparing to take El to find two paintings suitable for them. Wearing armor.
But after taking two steps, Ronald's pace began to slow down.
The reason is simple -
with his excellent hearing, he detected a small sound coming from above the castle.
Creak - creak -
that is the unique sound that flat shoes make when they step on the wooden floor that has been in disrepair.
Ronald finally stood on the spot and slowly raised his head to look upward.
Fischer, who was standing in their respective positions, and El who was further below, after noticing Ronald's movements, also realized what was happening at the moment, and cast their gaze upwards at the same time.
"Cough cough cough..."
At this time, an old cough came from the end of the three people's sight.
Not long after, an old man with white beard and hair slowly walked out from the corner above the castle. The old man in a dark blue robe had neither surprise nor joy in his eyes. Only when he turned to look at the three Ronalds below, did he say with a hint of regret: "Young man, why are you working so hard
? ?"
"[Larchmont] is already a city on the verge of ruin. It's not worth your time and effort. You'd better go back quickly." "...
"
Below the stairs.
The moment the old man appeared.
Ronald found that his reconnaissance spell was ineffective against him.
And through the vibration of the wooden boards upstairs, the details of the light falling on the other person's figure, and the color of the other person's pupils, Ronald could tell that this was definitely a real old man standing there, not an illusion. A magical creation that deceives oneself.
——This is definitely a shocking scene.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time Ronald has been exposed to someone's face and concealed his existence using detection spells. How powerful the old man is is obvious even without using words to describe it.
But besides that, there was more that surprised Ronald.
He recognized the old man's identity!
Although the wrinkled skin and slightly shortened old body are different from what he saw before.
But Ronald remembered it very clearly -
the outline of the old man's appearance was the Archmage Majer whom he had met in the fragments of history!
Originally, Ronald thought that there would be a lot of trouble in this historical fragment.
Unexpectedly, just after solving the problem of climbing the stairs, the Archmage took the initiative to show up and talk to them.
For a moment, Ronald felt a little excited.
However, such emotions did not disrupt his thinking. After realizing that the Archmage appeared in person, he was still quickly analyzing the current situation in his mind.
One detail is particularly noteworthy.
At this moment, Ronald and El were not wearing armor, so they showed their true colors.
However, when Majer saw the two of them, he obviously showed no other alternative emotions.
This shows that the great mage Majer at this moment.
It was not the one that Ronald and Il experienced together and gave the original book to. Nor was it the one Il encountered after he launched an attack in the city after falling into the fragments of history.
So for Ronald and Il.
They were dealing with the Archmage in a new identity.
Ronald was still thinking about what to do next, but unlike him, Fischer, who was worried about his sister, obviously couldn't calm down.
So when the Archmage appeared.
Fischer, who didn't recognize the other party's identity, immediately took a step forward, and then said in a sincere and pleading voice:
"Mr. Master, I'm sorry for disturbing [Larchmont]." "
But I have something I need to know. I want to seek help from that great mage, Mr. Majer, because this is related to the safety of my relatives!"
