Western Magic Zone.
On the deserted streets, Matthew walked steadily towards the Big Slant Tower.
It was said that the tower held an important position during the era of the Troll Empire.
Only magicians who had earned the highest honors were qualified to reside in this Slant Tower.
There was also a mystical rumor.
It was said that the tower itself was a product of magic—
"Creating miracles with mortal hands."
This was also a maxim that magicians of that age adhered to as a tenet.
From the exterior,
the Big Slant Tower had a unique charm that seemed to grow more beautiful the more one looked at it.
However, at this moment, Matthew clearly had no interest in appreciating this art.
"Being watched..."
Ten minutes ago,
the feeling of a thorn in his back had been stimulating his nerves constantly.
Soon,
in a dark corner not far away, Matthew spotted a deeply hidden Aspect Hound.
