Dawn of the Grey Tower

Sweeping the tower itself is not difficult, just like other cleaning tasks, there may be a huge difference in efficiency between skilled and unskilled people, but the cleaning work itself is not something that cannot be completed without certain skills.

However, this also hinted at the unusualness of this place, otherwise the cleanliness of the lower floor would have no reason for the tower-sweeping Ratmen to stop here. They obviously weren't lazy, there was really something blocking them like an invisible wall, preventing the dust from being cleaned.

Therefore, although Youni's movements in his hands were steady, he did not dare to neglect his five senses. He lowered his head, felt everything around him, and searched for possible crises.

"Let's take a break, shall we?" Youni was not the only one who was highly nervous. There were already fine beads of sweat on Helen's face, but it was hard to tell whether it was the cold sweat from nervousness or the hot sweat from fatigue.

For a girl of her age, climbing the stairs carrying the Breath of Dawn is really not a good job, but even so, Helen gritted her teeth and insisted on going farther than she expected.

Is she trying to prove something? possible. But more of it is that she spontaneously thinks that she can still persevere, and does not ask for a rest until she confirms that the distance above her head is definitely not enough.

Youni stopped immediately. He remembered that the cheese had warned him that it was very dangerous to run out of energy during the mission. The so-called insecurity means that at least one third of your energy should be set aside to deal with emergencies, and you should devote all your strength to the immediate matter. This is a privilege only available in a safe environment.

So he immediately turned around and signaled Helen to rest on the spot, and at the same time, he took off his coat naturally, the bear fur coat that Cheese personally bought for him from the dwarf's shop in Riverrun City, and handed it to Helen, "Put it on." Put it on, you're sweating and need to keep warm."

"I don't need it. I just bleed a little. I don't need your ragged clothes." Helen was right. Youni's coat was indeed tattered after going through this journey, let alone with her. On the body is sewn by the kingdom's senior tailor, which is both appearance and movement.

"The temperature here is getting colder and colder. The exposed part of your body will quickly take away the heat. It has nothing to do with what you are wearing." What Youni is saying now is what Cheese warned him in the rainstorm.

The temperature is very delicate, and its loss is so urgent that there is no room for the slightest gap. The skirt itself is not easy to keep warm.

"I can't use it, use it..." Helen turned her face away, and said in a slightly sharper voice, but her defense just started, and she stopped unconsciously.

The reason is simple, she looked away and saw on the stairs behind the two of them, there was a shadow quietly on all fours, looking up at them.

Youni realized the problem from Helen's pale face. He stuffed the clothes to the stunned girl, followed her gaze, and put down the tools in his hand at the same time. He was ready to fight, even ready to take the initiative.

Yes, the cold and lonely tower, the abnormal creatures under the stairs, the oppressive atmosphere and the unknown magic, they are enough to make any irrational behavior. But for a child who has spent his childhood in darkness, he has not lost his power to struggle.

He remembered that the teacher said that among many emotions, fear is the worst and the most useless.

"Don't make noise, we don't know how many of these things are here." Youni comforted Helen softly, and then used his little knowledge to distinguish the weird shadow below.

Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the details of that thing, except for the pair of eyes. This in itself is unreasonable. The only explanation is that the ghost cannot be seen with the naked eye. Either it has some sort of spell affecting vision, or it's not a visible entity at all.

Ghosts often have such a characteristic, only outline, lack of detail. The question is, do ghosts really dare to occupy the magpie's nest and the gray-robed mage's tower?

"I know, you, who do you think I am?" Helen clenched the lantern tightly in her hand, speaking in a trembling child's voice, she didn't know where she learned it. She had the urge to cast a spell just now, no matter what it is, throw a spell on it first, witches will definitely do this.

But Helen didn't. She obeyed Youni's command. I'm afraid she couldn't explain why. Perhaps, Helen instinctively realized that Youni was right, this is the tower of the gray robe, and it is not surprising that the spells from other spellcasters triggered a counterattack.

"Helen Siegert Montenegro, I still remember your name, and I'm not afraid to mistake you for someone else." I have to say that after staying with cheese for a long time, people will inevitably lose their sense of humor.

Especially for a person like Youni who didn't have one before, he didn't even realize that what Helen said was a rhetorical question. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But Helen didn't have a chance to explain, because in the next second, Yoni jumped from the steps towards the monster!

The spiral staircase of the Tower of Cheese has no guardrails, which means that apprentices can fall directly on the monster, directly on it.

Is this brave? Or reckless? None of it matters. Since the hidden danger cannot be ignored, then don't pretend that you didn't see it and want it to disappear naturally. Facing it and challenging it is the best way to remove hidden dangers.

Besides, Yoni is not completely hopeless, at this distance, his antlers are enough to pierce through flesh and blood without armor.

"Huh..." Youni, who landed on the steps, only heard the sound of wind blowing through the tree branches, and the black shadow dissipated under his feet. From the beginning to the end, he didn't have the slightest feeling of being in contact with the entity, whether it was the material level or the magical level.

"It's okay, it's just a phantom." Phantoms are quite common in places rich in magic power, and the apprentices of the City of Magic know how to distinguish phantoms from reality.

"Really?" Helen's voice was still trembling, and the puzzled Youni turned around to look, and suddenly saw three identical shadows staring at the girl from both ends of the stairs and the wall. If it wasn't for the brilliance of the Breath of Dawn in her hand, those things would have already pounced on it.

"Don't be afraid, they don't dare to approach you." Youni frowned, and ran towards Helen along the steps again. He didn't know if the three ghosts were the same as the one he smashed, but it was absolutely impossible to let them go.

The girl bit her lip, her eyes wandered among the three shadows, she was holding the lantern, as if holding the last hope. She was afraid. Fear is a shadow that the sun cannot dispel. Only the light in her heart can suppress it.

"Stay away from her!" the boy roared, his figure began to change as he ran.
