Ignisia Tower got its na after the Monarch-level dragon, Ignysyl, who was killed by a Supre thousands of years ago in the Wizard War.
He was deed an evil dragon, and his carcass was used as a foundation to create this tall and only Wizard Tower on the Gravethrone continent, for unknown purposes.
However, one purpose that Ian knew of was its trial of Wizard, which Ian was about to participate in, although it was the lowest one and couldn't be called such actually.
"Swish!"
On a dimly lit circular platform inside the first floor of Ignisia Tower, a team of forty people appeared suddenly, disturbing the decade-long silence.
The circular platform they appeared on was similar to the one they had just stood on outside, except, unlike the earlier one, this platform was filled with richer and fiery mana.
"Ouch!"
Aurora cried softly after landing on the platform, still in Ian's embrace.
Unlike the previous ti, this ti Ian was careful and used a mana shield and feather fall spells imdiately after the teleportation effect wore off, saving them from a rough landing like others in the crowd who were disoriented.
"Shit..."
Henry was also one of them, as he landed heavily on his butt, causing him to cry out in pain involuntarily. Well, there went his graceful and dignified royal facade he had tried so hard to maintain before. Fortunately, he wasn't the only one embarrassed this ti.
"Are you alright?"
Ian asked Lyra and Aurora in his arms, appearing concerned, with no intention of removing them from his embrace yet.
"Yeah, it was fun," Lyra imdiately replied smiling sweetly at him, snuggling into his chest, not minding Aurora at the side at all.
"Um, I'm fine too. Thank you."
Since Aurora's ntal power was as high as 8 points, she wasn't affected much by the teleportation spell. So, she first thanked Ian and asked with a flushed face,
"Um, can you release ? I... I am fine now."
She had never been touched by the opposite sex before due to the strict rules of royalty, and here Ian first grabbed her shoulder, and now he was directly hugging her in his arms making her flustered all over.
Moreover, she couldn't even complain as Ian seed to be concerned about her. After all, right next to her was Lyra, who was also in Ian's embrace. If she still complained, wouldn't she appear ungrateful?
"Are you sure? Your face seems red, though. Let see."
Ian wasn't soone to waste a good opportunity. So, while Aurora was still confused by his inexplicable action, he hugged her body tighter in his arms, causing her to co closer to his face.
"Ouch... what... what are you doing?"
Aurora couldn't help but get nervous at Ian's bold action.
"Let's see, hmm, you seem to have no injuries outside, and the spell didn't seem to have affected you much."
Ian said a bunch of nonsense with a serious face while looking at Aurora's face up close.
Now that he paid attention, her erald green eyes looked stunning, while her cheeks looked so beautiful with all those natural dimples. Not to ntion the rosy and shy look she was giving him. If the situation wasn't unsuitable, he wanted to bite that ripe cheek here and now.
"Ian, I am alright. Can you please release ?"
Aurora felt uncomfortable from all of Ian's scrutinizing actions, not understanding that he was teasing her.
Poor girl, she still thought he was concerned about her as she never thought Ian would dare to tease her in front of Lyra.
It seed she had never t a scumbag.
"Oh, okay then."
Although Ian loved to embrace and tease this little girl more, there were more important things to do. So, he carefully placed her slim body on the ground, separating from her.
"Asshole, leave her alone."
Just when he smoothly left Aurora from his embrace, leaving her at a loss, a sharp shout echoed as Carl hurled forward in extre anger.
"What? What happened?"
At this ti, Henry had also co back to his senses and managed to control his bearings when he heard soone shouting at them.
"Carl, what happened?"
Seeing that it was Carl who was in anger, Henry asked, confused, since he hadn't seen his sister in Ian's embrace before.
"Oh? Do you know him?"
Although Carl was fuming with anger, Ian acted calm and asked Aurora while separating Lyra from his body as she was being too clingy.
"Huh?"
Aurora was still feeling confused after leaving Ian's warm embrace when Ian asked her about Carl.
"Oh, he is soone we t during our travel. He provided help to us when we were surrounded by the bandits."
Aurora told the truth as she still had a sowhat good impression of Carl.
"Yeah, he is good at fighting," Henry also chid in from the side as if to show his presence, as he had been feeling too neglected lately.
"Oh, that's good and all, but why is he shouting like a fool? And he even scolded with foul language."
Ian asked as if he was genuinely confused as to why Carl was acting like he did.
"You...you..."
Seeing his acting as if he was an innocent person, Carl was so angry that he clenched his fist. But now he also realized that he had been impulsive and shouted without thinking.
"This... I don't know?"
Aurora also didn't understand why Carl suddenly cussed Ian out. Her little brain never thought it was because of her, since she wasn't aware Carl had thoughts about her.
"Yeah, man. What happened? You cursed soone for nothing. You know, he is helping Aurora to leave this continent. Why don't you say sorry to him?" Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Henry also defended Ian, not knowing he had been taking advantage of his sister just now, making Carl speechless.
'Stupid piece of shit, he was touching your sister all over just now.'
He cursed this stupid bastard even more for defending Ian without knowing anything.
