"I knew he was a twisted child, but I didn't know he was that bad."
Pal grunted and his chin rested. Julia asked as she sat down on the sofa.
"What about Hamas?"
"I took away his magic right away. I recovered the magic power with the maid chiId at once and teleported it directly to the mine. It's a life sentence."
Pal snapped his hand and said sharply. Julia sighed heavily and nodded.
"He's the only young high-ranking mage in the Tower. I'm sorry, Pal."
"What? He communicated with the enemy. I should have cut it off in the first place, but it was my mistake to let my guard down, thinking I could fix it. On the contrary, thanks to Julia, I was able to cut them all out at once, so it's good!"
Pal shook his legs and shouted cheerfully. Endymion opened his mouth with a sunken look.
"It seems that the situation is serious enough to have even a high-ranking mage come in."
"Hmm. No child has survived yet, but it seems that the reactionaries have muddied the waters during my seclusion."
Pal rarely agreed with him. Boris, who was serving refreshments while looking at him, added cautiously.
"When I came back, the atmosphere was a little chaotic. There are also rumors that the Lord of the Tower has lost His power and is in seclusion. Maybe that's why some of them have begun to be harassed by the enemy."
"Hah... I need to change the water. I've been nice to them for decades, so how dar le they look at me funny?"
Pal gritted his teeth and vowed. Unlike before, when he looked like a drooping sloth, he was ready to pull out all the hair on the traitors' heads.
"Yes. I'm going to summon everyone tomorrow and thin them out. We have to destroy the lab and catch those who are thinking about something else!"
Pal spilled out and he clenched his fists. Then he turned his head and shouted to Julia and Endymion.
"And you two come back quickly! Descend!"
"Huh?"
Julia blinked at the sudden congratulatory order.
"You won with Hamas, didn't you? A high-ranking mage who is fourth in the Tower hierarchy! He is indeed my genius protege! Now you can block most magical attacks. Go quickly and stop the black wolves on the Semele side!"
Julia was a little embarrassed by the outright compliment.
"Thank you. But I'm not a genius, I'm in a crisis..."
"Oh, that's a genius! There's nothing to be humble about because I think you're perfect!"
Pal burned with a will, and he ordered Boris to follow.
"You can go and help Julia. I'll also act as a communication book so I can keep in touch!"
"Oh, yes, I see!"
Boris liked the idea of going out into the world again and having fun watching.
Only Julia was taken aback by the sudden decision, but Endymion, who had been nodding, spoke up.
"I have a question before I go back. Did you reveal the cause of the problem when you came to the tower? Since Semele has also been infiltrated by impure forces, I think it will be easy to cooperate if the related issues are resolved."
"That's right. That's it!"
Pal scratched his head, saying that he almost forgot about it.
"I was going to tell you today. When I investigated, I found that the wave of magic was disturbing, but it was unregistered magic. Unknown."
Then...
Julia blinked. Endymion came to a conclusion at once.
"Black wolves."
"That's right."
Pal nodded with heavy eyes.
"It wasn't just a malfunction, it was intentional. And Shabel's Magic Tower Gate. I sent Boris to look at it this morning, and the faint wavelength of magic left on the stolen magic stone is the same."
Is that the same with Gate? Julia was surprised by the unexpected result.
"Then why didn't they take the magic stone and sell it?"
"Yes, I think it's them."
Boris nodded seriously.
'The means of connecting to the tower, the communication zone, and the gate. The Black Wolves tried to disable both of them?'
Why? Julia frowned at a strange feeling.
Then Endymion patted her between her eyebrows.
"It looks like they were trying to stop us from going to the Tower."
"...That's ridiculous, so they're closer than you think, right?"
Julia swallowed.
Very few people knew about the two of them. It was also the closest associates. Then she would have to doubt them all.
"Who the hell? There's no one like that in Semele, right? Who is exposing our destination?"
"I can't guarantee it. How can you know people's hearts?"
Endymion pulled her hair behind her ear and said coldly.
"Everyone is suspected. Family and friends. There are no exceptions."
Julia paused, but she couldn't argue with it. It was truly dizzying not to know who had the knife inside.
"When you go back, Julia will keep her abilities a secret, and that she is a high-ranking mage, and that she can now wield magic perfectly!"
Pal busily wrapped the magic training book and asked her. Julia nodded.
"Oh, and take this too."
Pal, who had been wrapping three bags suddenly stuck out something.
"Now that I don't have to suppress my magic, I've cast a new spell! You have enough qualifications, but you're still not good at applying it. I've got some urgently needed magic, so it will help you!"
"Oh."
It was the ring that Julia always wore on her left ring finger. When she took it and put it back on, she didn't feel like she was-blocking anything at all like before.
Julia thanked him.
"Thank you so much, Pal."
"What! Oh yes, and you know what I've asked before. Why, the magic power was away in the royal palace, but it was silent in the castle of Duke Moffat."
Julia nodded quickly. When she asked him a few days ago, he said he had something more to know, but she finally got the answer.
"What's the cause?"
Endymion, who had been silent, also urged him to wonder. Pal looked at Julia and him back and forth.
"What's wrong, Pal?"
Julia asked curiously. Then his eyes lit up playfully.
"When I trained Julia, he always accompanied you. Do you know why?"
What are you talking about all of a sudden? Julia shook her head in confusion.
Julia's talent is immense, but it's never easy to tame a huge amount of magic in a short period. In fact, she couldn't control it at first, so she secretly pressed it a few times.
"Did you? I had no idea, thank you. I almost had another accident."
Julia's eyes widened and she thanked him. He shook his head, saying that he didn't say it to get a gong.
"But it's very strange. When he was next to Julia, her magic power was strangely calm. Even when they try to rebel, they become silent like domesticated beasts."
Pal pointed his finger at Endymion. Julia was startled by the first sound she heard and turned to him.
"Mion... When you're around, your magic power stabilizes?"
"Yes, that's why I kept it next to it when I was training for the experiment, but it was definitely effective when the two were together. This allows Julia to use magic much faster!"
Pal said that her magic was probably because she was friendly to Endymion.
"Somehow, when I first saw them, I felt strange. So I wondered if you were hiding your magical power, but there is no way there is a wizard who doesn't feel it, right? Apparently, since you have lived together for a long time, you have been exposed to Julia's strong magic for a long time, so you look alike."
Pal said sweetly, shooting a studious look.
"I think that's why Julia recognized her as another owner and became quiet. It's a very rare case, but the stronger the magic, the more loyal you are."
"That could be true. I feel like I have magical powers."
"Of course, magic has a will!"
Julia asked curiously.
"Then will it continue to be like that in the future?"
"Well, at least for the time being? Just in case, stay with them for a while. Especially when you use magic!"
Pal trembled like that and told her more. It was mainly about how to manipulate magic and the plans they had prepared to wipe out the black wolves.
Julia and Endymion stayed together until dinner, and then finished the rest and returned to their accommodations.
"See you tomorrow morning!"
"Yes."
Boris was sent first, and the two walked down the hall.
"I'm finally going back. I'm glad that I came here to fulfill my purpose, right?"
Julia fiddled with the ring and was proud. Endymion nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to be busy as soon as I get back, so let's go to bed early tonight."
"Hmm. It's a pity... But where are you going?"
Julia grabbed Endymion's sleeve in surprise. Endymion unbuttoned his shirt around his neck and turned around.
"Why?"
"No, this is my room. Your room... downstairs."
"I told you not to fall for a moment."
"Huh?"
Julia asked casually, and Endymion winked at her room.
"Don't you remember what Magic Tower Lord said earlier? Don't fall for a while."
No, I don't think that's what he meant, right? Julia opened her mouth in surprise.
"Hey? That's when you use magic. And there's a spell that prohibits entry to this room."
So we only met on the balcony in the middle of the night for two weeks, didn't we?
Julia pulled him in bewilderment.
"If a warning bell sounds, I'll be in trouble. Yes? Go down and on the balcony before going to bed..."
You can solve it. By your magic.
Endymion didn't blink an eye and spoke seriously. Julia rolled her eyes involuntarily.
"Is that so?"
I don't think I can do it. It was so natural that Julia didn't feel anything was wrong.
Endymion whispered.
"Let's give it a try."
"Oh, yes."
Is it really possible? Julia was excited at the thought of the last day, and she was caught up in it.
"Mmm..."
Julia drained the magic cautiously. Then, a golden energy flowed out and quickly covered the door.
Boom!
The transparent curtain fluttered. Then, golden energy surrounded the membrane and shattered the ice, shattering it like a piece of glass.
Fit!
"Oh, is it done?"
Julia covered her mouth in surprise.
Seriously, right?!
Endymion grinned and opened the door.
"Oh my God. Mion, can I get rid of this as I want? What if there is a problem?"
"I don't know. If you care about it, you can restore it before you leave tomorrow. Don't worry, come in."
Endymion pulled Julla's hand as she fluttered. Julia also came inside and locked the door.
"Phew, luckily it's late, so Helen must have cleaned up the room."
"It's a little different from what you see from the outside."
Before she knew it, Endymion strode to the middle of the room. It was as natural as if it were his bedroom. Then he walked to her bed, admiring the interior in peace.
"The bed is enough for two people."
"Right? Still, it's smaller than our bed, so we might have to sleep closer to..."
Julia realized what she was talking about and stopped. To add insult to injury, she remembered the warmth in a blanket that had been steadily disturbing her sleep.
'Now, wait. Why did you bring him to the bedroom right away?!'
