I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

The Adventurers' Guild is located in the central area of ​​Colin Town, while the Magic Association is located on Lucky Street to the west.

In fact, Lucky Street is the liveliest place in the whole town.

Adventurers inevitably pass through this street whether they are on a quest or returning to town. Therefore, for good luck, the street's name was changed to "Lucky" at some point.

Before long, the two arrived in front of an extremely eye-catching building.

Lynn looked up, trying to see the building in its entirety. It was a five-story tower, probably the tallest building in the entire town.

Its main body is made of brown bricks and stones, with silver-painted wooden decorations. It is very restrained to use gold paint only on the eaves and windowsills.

It corresponds exactly to the metallic color of the three common currencies.

Compared to its resounding name, "The Golden Tower," it appears much more understated.

The Magic Association is located on the first and second floors of this tower.

This is rather strange, considering that the Mage Tower is merely a self-organized civilian organization by mages, while the Magic Association is an official institution uniformly established across the continent.

Fortunately, the original owner left Lynn a wealth of knowledge.

In this world, there are seven mage towers named after colors, representing seven directions of magical development. Their members are all the best mages, dedicated to the research of magic.

The existence of the Seven Towers of the Mage is ancient and far-reaching. Their research has continuously driven the development of the entire world, and their profound knowledge can even influence the national landscape.

Of course, most mages are "magic fanatics" who are not interested in anything but magic; they are more like a group of bookworms with advanced tools.

Or a madman.

The mages of the Golden Tower are somewhat special; they have a fondness for vulgar things like "money," calling themselves "magical merchants," and dedicating themselves to promoting the development of magic by creating wealth.

Compared to the Seven Towers of Mages' authoritative status in the magical world, the Magic Association seems more like a product of official compromise. The Magic Association in Colin Town is simply an appendage of the Golden Tower... Lynn quickly came to this conclusion.

"Let's go in."

Lynn glanced at Eli and noticed that she was looking at the tower with a complicated expression.

Eli's father is the lord of Roan City, the highest administrator of this land. If Lynn remembers correctly, he is a noble count.

I wonder if any members of the Frey family work for the Magic Association?

"Why don't you find a place nearby to wait for me? I'll be right back," he said with a smile.

Eli snapped out of his daze and quickly understood what he meant. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's alright. I didn't sneak out this time. It's okay."

"Not this time?" Lynn thought to himself. "Looks like this young lady used to sneak out of the house all the time."

No longer dwelling on it, the two walked side by side to the gate of the Magic Association. This tower had a unique structure, with separate entrances for the Magic Association and the Golden Tower.

Guests visiting the Golden Tower can take another passageway directly to the third floor.

There were no restrictions at the gate, but when Lynn passed through it, he sensed a slight spiritual fluctuation.

Is there a magical barrier set up here?

The first floor is very large, and the whole place is a spacious and bright hall, with an elegant woody aroma in the air.

Even though she had been there a few times before, Lynn was still surprised to be there in person. Wasn't everyone saying that the Golden Tower was full of rich people? The interior design was quite stylish.

The lobby has a circular structure with multiple counters, and a dark wood staircase in the center leads to the upper floor.

At this time, there were very few people coming and going, making it seem quite deserted.

That's true. Spellcasters are scarce. How many are there in the entire town of Colin?

Looking around, Lynn's gaze fell on an elderly man with white hair sitting in a corner in front of a black door, engrossed in reading. He had an idea.

The attack on the Whispering Forest was rather strange. The fate of those people was unknown, and reporting to lower-ranking people would be too inefficient. This person seemed just right.

Thinking of this, he gestured for Eli to follow. The girl hesitated for a moment before following him toward the old man.

The old man was wearing a white robe, was slightly plump, and had a ruddy complexion. He was holding a thick book in his hand. Lynn walked in and glanced at it, but only saw a misty scene.

Is this the magic of privacy screens? He chuckled to himself.

"Old sir..."

The old man raised his head, his face serene, his eyes wise and bright, and he saw Lynn and Eli beside him.

"Oh? Miss Frey, it's been a long time," he said to Eli with a smile.

Eli knew this old man? Lynn looked at her curiously.

This usually poised and elegant noblewoman was now blushing, her eyes darting around, and her staff trembling slightly, looking like a mouse before a cat.

"Barton... Mr. Barton..."

Teacher!? This old man is actually Eli's teacher?

The city lord's daughter's magic teacher must be a very powerful mage, right?

"Hahaha," Barton closed the book, laughing heartily, "Miss Frey actually remembers me. When I taught you general magic, you were only up to my waist. I can't believe how much you've grown..."

Half-elves mature at the same rate as humans, generally reaching adulthood before the age of 20, but their overall lifespan is more than twice that of humans.

So, this person in front of me is Eli's first magic teacher?

Lynn suddenly understood his companion's embarrassment. If he were to accidentally meet his teacher when he was still wetting the bed when he grew up, he would also feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, old man Patton was very sensible and did not recount some of Eli's embarrassing moments.

"Tell me, why didn't you go to the counter to handle your business? Instead, you came to see this old doorman. Is there something special you need?"

Lynn and Eli exchanged a glance, and seeing that the other seemed to have eased somewhat from the awkwardness of encountering their childhood teacher, they nodded slightly.

He organized his thoughts and fluently recounted what had happened that morning.

Of course, Lynn briefly glossed over his astonishing performance with the Frost Ring, as that wasn't the focus of this conversation.

The kind smile on old man Patton's face gradually disappeared, and a shadow rose in his eyes.

"Rumi," he beckoned to a young staff member, "go to the Adventurers' Guild and find out who provided the clues for the quest to clear the crystal monsters this morning, and also, who introduced that orc named Gray to the team."

The staff member named Rumi immediately set off, while Barton stood up and waved to Eli.

"Little Eli, come closer to me."

Eli dared not disobey his teacher's summons and hurriedly took a step closer.

"Oh dear, these must be wounds left by a mana-draining monster? That kind of thing is the type of monster we mages fear the most."

Lynn didn't mention the details of Eli's injury, but because they hadn't had time to change their clothes, the wound was quite obvious.

As Barton spoke, he raised his right hand and muttered something. On his right thumb was an ancient bronze ring, a hazy color flashing across its surface in an instant.

Immediately, a layer of eerie blue light emanated from Eli's body.

The half-elf girl raised her staff in delight, "My magic power has been restored so much!"

Barton chuckled, "While I don't know those healing spells that are closely related to life energy, I can still use this simple magic recharge spell. Quickly heal your wounds."

Eli quickly thanked him, then chanted a spell and used a first-circle healing spell to restore his injuries.

Is that even possible? Lynn watched this scene with great interest, wondering what level of magic this "Magic Charge" was, and how much it consumed.

With his exaggerated amount of magic power, it seems like he has a lot of room to maneuver.
