Wizard Tower

"Rustle, rustle."

In a spacious room, a handsome young man with short light blond hair and blue eyes was focused on sweeping the floor.

He was wearing a plain gray linen robe, the standard attire for apprentice wizards in the Wizard Tower.

That's right!

Apprentice wizard!

Pete came from the 21st century.

He had traversed to this magical world three years ago!

The owner of this body was also called Peter.

His father, in order to ensure a better life for him in this world, gave him a letter of recommendation adorned with magical symbols before he passed away.

He let Peter go to the Wizard Tower to seek a way of living.

This letter originally belonged to his father.

Unfortunately, his father was seriously ill and he could not become a wizard. He could only let Peter replace him.

Among humans, wizards were a group of people with transcendent status.

They roamed the desolate wilderness and moved in the silent darkness.

They fought against all kinds of terrifying monsters!

They had powerful magic!

Becoming a wizard meant facing dangers from the darkness, but at the same time, it meant a better life compared to ordinary people.

The standard of living for ordinary people in this world was roughly equivalent to the Middle Ages.

Resources were scarce, and they barely maintained their subsistence.

Therefore, after Peter buried his father, he came to the Wizard Tower without hesitation.

With the recommendation letter in his hand, he became a small apprentice in the Wizard Tower!

In this world, there were various races coexisting, including Human Kingdom, Orc Kingdom, Elven Kingdom, and so on.

Even the legendary giant dragons really existed!

In order to fight these dangerous creatures, Wizard Towers were spread all over the world.

The Wizard Tower was the residence of wizards.

However, compared to the other towers, Peter's tower was more special.

That was because it housed imprisoned evil Dark Wizards and various fierce monsters!

This was truly a dangerous world!

Peter thought so.

Originally, it was already unfortunate enough to traverse, but to have traversed to such a terrifying and dangerous world was even worse.

Peter believed that he must have the ability to protect himself!

Although he had only joined the wizard tower for a day, he heard from other wizards that two days ago, a wizard tower was attacked by monsters.

All the wizards inside were killed!

Some were eaten by the monsters, while others were turned into undead and became underlings of the monsters!

Peter didn't want his fate to end up like that!

He had to become stronger!

That's right!

He could learn magic!

Peter's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since he had already come to the Wizard Tower and successfully become an apprentice, if he didn't learn magic and become a true wizard along the way, wouldn't all these hardships be in vain?

However, all the happiness only existed in Peter's imagination.

Learning magic was easier said than done.

He was just a small apprentice. Without a teacher's guidance, learning magic recklessly would only have the opposite effect.

It would take at least three years for a student to become a true wizard.

Thinking of this, Peter felt a sense of melancholy.

"Peter, what are you daydreaming about?"

At this moment, he was hit on the back of his head.

Peter immediately came back to his senses and turned his head. He saw a tall wizard wearing a brown robe approaching.

It was a middle-aged man. His brown curly hair was draped behind his head, giving him a wild vibe.

Peter knew him. His name was Colot.

He was a real wizard!

"Come with me. I have something for you to do!"

Colot ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

Peter quickly dropped the broom in his hand.

He was cleaning the library area of the Wizard Tower, which was not part of the main section of the Wizard Tower but located behind it.

There was a long corridor connecting the two.

Through the corridor, Peter followed behind Colot and arrived at the main tower.

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back,"

Colot left after saying that.

Peter didn't know what Colot wanted him to do, but he didn't dare to leave on his own. Being new to this place, he wanted to leave a good impression.

After a while, footsteps came from outside the door.

Colot returned.

Behind him was a man in a black robe who exuded an extremely sinister aura.

This man had pale hair and skin, and his figure hidden under the robe appeared extremely thin.

His eyes were filled with indescribable crimson, like a wild beast ready to go berserk at any moment!

A Dark Wizard!

A term flashed through Peter's mind!

He was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, he has already been sealed!"

Colot noticed Peter's fear and quickly explained.

Only then did Peter regain his composure.

He carefully observed and realized that although the Dark Wizard's aura was terrifying, it was all suppressed.

He could sense an invisible restraint that completely suppressed the Dark Wizard's strength.

The source of this invisible restraint was the shackles bound to the Dark Wizard's hands.

"That should be an item with magic power that can suppress the power of a Dark Wizard!"

Peter secretly remarked.

"This is a Dark Wizard who enjoys practicing black magic by drinking human blood. He slaughtered the entire village of 152 people ten kilometers away, committing unforgivable crimes!"

"The Royal Academy dispatched three senior wizards to capture him, and now he will be imprisoned in our Wizard Tower."

Colot briefly described the numerous crimes committed by the Dark Wizard.

Peter was stunned.

Because this was his first real encounter with Dark Wizards since he arrived in this world.

He only knew that they were a group of demons who practiced black magic!

In order to practice black magic, they would do all sorts of insane things.

Like the one in front of him!

Slaughtering the entire village of 152 people, including women and children, was absolutely despicable!

Unfortunately.

Peter also knew.

Many Dark Wizards possessed incredibly mysterious black magic.

Simply killing them was often nothing to these guys.

They could come back to life through unimaginable methods!

So, after capturing a Dark Wizard.

The common practice was to permanently seal and imprison them!

Although he was only an apprentice wizard, he had heard some things from other wizards.

"You, come here."

At this moment, Colot suddenly pointed at Peter.

He ordered in a serious tone, "I still have other things to deal with. Take this guy to the confinement area at the bottom of the tower!"

Upon hearing this, Peter was instantly dumbfounded.

Lord Colot actually wanted him to single-handedly guard this Dark Wizard? That was outrageous!
