"Your Excellency Edith, can the Magic Tower restore your power now?"
Camilla took a deep breath. She felt that the hope of escape had finally appeared in front of her. She could not help but speak with excitement. However, Edith's reply disappointed her. "Because there are many arrangements related to 'space' in my Magic Tower, I feel better. At least now I don't have to worry about the problem of energy exhaustion after a month."
"But I'm sorry to say that simply staying in the Magic Tower will not allow me to accumulate the power to send you out."
Edith's words were coherent and her voice was clear. It was much better than her previous intermittent state.
In any case, it was better than before. Camilla thought truthfully. But before she could ask more questions, she heard Edith's voice suddenly become low. "No … Why is the Magic Tower in a 'defensive state' now?"
"Ah?"
Camilla's heart suddenly jumped. "Is he fighting with the people in the Magic Tower?"
"I don't feel any conflict breaking out in the tower now. But if there is a powerful spell affecting the tower, this defensive state will also be triggered."
Edith's voice paused for a moment, and then for the first time, she seemed a little hesitant. "I can't explore the situation outside the 'Confinement Sphere' now."
Hearing this, Camilla could not help but tighten her grip on the crystal.
When a person was suddenly blindfolded, they would inevitably feel an indescribable sense of fear. Roddy was now in danger, but he could not explore it. Camilla really felt cold sweat on her forehead. She tried to calm down and asked, "What will happen in this defensive state? Can Roddy find the core of the Magic Tower? "
Edith did not directly answer this question, which made Camilla's face become paler and paler. Obviously, this Grand Arcanist was pessimistic about the result.

"Strange …"
Roddy, who was holding the 'Confinement Sphere' to explore, looked down and found that no matter how he chanted the spell, he could not explore the situation inside the crystal ball like before. This gave him a bad premonition.
After entering the Magic Tower, Roddy immediately felt the strangeness of his surroundings. Unlike the others, he did not have to rely on his senses or any means. He directly checked his [Status Bar] and found that there was an additional debuff: [Space-Time Turbulence].
He wanted to study the effect of this debuff in detail, but the explanation was short. "You've been affected by the space-time turbulence."
What kind of impact?
Roddy glanced at his HP and MP and discovered that they had indeed decreased, but not by much. He lifted his arm, but nothing happened. But when he turned his head to look at Kardashian, he noticed that the latter's footsteps had slowed down.
The hall in front of him should be the first floor of the Magic Tower. According to the customs of the High Elves, this was a "waiting area" for visiting guests, so there were many chairs and tables around. The size of the hall was similar to the Pasha Magic Tower in Elsen City. This must be an inherent custom of the High Elves. However, there were no overly complicated carvings or patterns here. Instead, there was a simple beauty. In Roddy's words, it was "minimalist" — this was obviously closely related to Edith's personal style.
But it was clearly too quiet. After all, so many people had just entered. Such a large hall could not have been emptied so quickly. When Roddy came in, he was already prepared for battle. But unexpectedly, there was not even a footprint on the clean and clean floor in front of him.
After all, these people who rushed in from outside all had their feet covered in snow and mud.
"My power has been suppressed."
Kardashian was obviously not feeling well. She felt as if her body was tied up by a thick layer of shackles. Even her breathing was a little stuffy. She raised her arm and waved it left and right like Roddy did, but her brows furrowed even deeper. "What's wrong with this place? I feel like my power has been sealed a lot."
Her level was too high, so this experience was very profound. Hearing this, Roddy looked at his "Strength" and "Dexterity" values again and found that they had all been reduced by about 20%. When he looked at Kardashian's Attributes Panel, he realized that her power had been suppressed by more than 90%!
In other words, in terms of their current attributes, they were actually at the level before entering the threshold of Level-30.
"The elements are also very thin here, I feel —"
"Don't cast any spells!"
Roddy saw that she was about to raise her hand to try to gather elements. Clearly, she had forgotten his warning. But it was too late to stop her. He stretched out his hand to hold down Kardashian's arm, but he saw that Kardashian had already condensed a frost dagger in her hand …
He pressed his hand on Kardashian's arm, and both of them stared at the blue dagger at the same time. There was a second of silence.
"It seems like it's nothing …"
Before Kardashian could finish her sentence, both of them felt a huge force sucking them into another space at the same time. This force was irresistible, and they couldn't even react to it. When Roddy saw the scene in front of him again, he found that he was actually surrounded by a mountain range, and his position was a clear pool.
"How, how is this possible!?"
Hearing Kardashian's exclamation, Roddy turned his head and found that she was standing not far away, staring blankly at a stone platform in front of her. Now, both of them clearly realized that the previous "casting" had indeed brought about unpredictable consequences. It seemed that … they were inexplicably transported to another place.
"Sister, do you know what this place is?"
Roddy had traveled extensively in Earthbreaker, and he had seen many texts and pictures, but he had never seen this place before. He walked to Kardashian's side, and suddenly felt that her clothes were different from before. The original blue robe had turned white, and the style was typical of High Elves, but the beautiful hollowed-out design made it look even more ethereal.
Kardashian's expression was clearly not right. She was trying hard to suppress something. After looking around, she said in a low voice, "This … This is the territory of the Frost Dragon Race."
"Huh?"
Shocked by this answer, Roddy looked around again, and only then did he realize that there were figures of flying dragons in the distant sky. He tried to calm himself down and said in a low voice, "This Magic Tower can teleport?"
He checked the Imprisonment Sphere again, but there was still no reaction. Glancing at the status bar, he was surprised to see that he had another debuff: "Prison of Time and Space."
He clicked on it, and the description made him realize something. "Any spellcaster will be imprisoned in time and space that they don't want to face the most. Want to get out? Face the fear in your heart. "
This was obviously Edith's punishment for the "spellcasters" in the tower. It seemed to be a prison that one could escape from on their own, like "Secret Room Escape." But because of its uniqueness, it not only taught people a lesson, but also served as an education. This was indeed the work of a Grand Arcanist.
Roddy felt that Edith was a knowledgeable and broad-minded person, so when facing disobedient visitors, she could "punish" them by facing "fear." It was indeed a very clever design.
However, this also made Rody feel a little terrified. To be able to passively activate such a skill, not only did one need to be able to control 'space and time', but one also needed to have extremely profound attainments in 'mental' spells. She must be much stronger in this aspect than Doris, who was just a dabbler.
Kardashian's reaction was not slow, but she realized what she was facing after dozens of seconds. Then she said, "What we see should be an illusion. The master of the Magic Tower specially let spellcasters face some environments that they don't like … This place — uh, I'm not afraid to say it out loud, but because I caused trouble eighty years ago, my father ordered me to reflect here for two years."
"So when I see this pool, I feel uncomfortable all over …" She raised her hand and rubbed her face as she spoke. It was the first time that Roddy saw her like this. It was obvious that this place had obviously left a very bad impression on Kardashian.
"Space confinement, combined with memories … This Grand Arcanist is really something."
At this time, Kardashian no longer dared to underestimate Edith's ability. It could even be said that her heart was filled with awe. But she was not frightened. Instead, she pulled Roddy and said, "This kind of space confinement either has a time limit, or a secret door will be set up. No space spell can achieve perfect confinement. "
This judgment was naturally correct, and it also made Roddy re-evaluate her level of strength. After all, he had the bug-like system to assist him, and her deduction was completely based on her deep accumulation.
