A stinky cultivator has arrived in the magic world.

Chapter 23 Magic Cloak

When they first arrived at the college, Professor Sylvie solemnly emphasized that there were three forbidden places to go.

The basement of the Grand Library, the dome of Clock Tower No. 3, and some other place in the West Ring Forest.

Violating the ban will result in penalties ranging from academic demerits to expulsion!

Senior Cat, what is the meaning of bringing me here?

We just reached a deal, and now you want to kill me? That's a bit impolite, isn't it?

Meow Leon knew what Lorne was worried about, and slowly said:

"That's the tallest place in the entire East Ring Road area, and don't worry, the ban only applies to students, not cats. I've been in there several times, and as long as I don't get caught on the spot, it's no big deal."

Lorne was speechless.

"If you're a cat, am I still a cat? You've been inside, but have I been inside too?!"

"You'll have more experience next time," the cat said casually.

Lorne took a deep breath and began to seriously consider the consequences of jumping on the broom.

At that moment, the cold, beautiful broom under his legs suddenly vibrated slightly, and its branches tightened slightly, as if to soothe him.

Lorne abandoned the idea of ​​jumping on a broom and inquired:

"So why is that area off-limits to students, making it a forbidden zone within the academy?"

Meow Leon shook his cat head:

"There is a mirror inside that knows everything in the world. If you pay the right price, you can get all the answers you want to know."

"There is another theory, but I have not seen it, that it is said that an evil soul is imprisoned here, and as long as you can pay the price, it can grant you any wish, even to bring you back from the dead. However, the price is so heavy that it is unacceptable."

"Regardless of which one, this place has been a forbidden area for a thousand years, and no student is allowed to set foot here."

Lorne sighed that time was a worthless number in the magical world, with hundreds or thousands of years passing by at the drop of a hat.

Meow Leon said:

"But you don't need to worry about encountering them at all. I've wandered around here so many times and haven't found any trace of the second legend, except for a few encounters with the magic mirror. By the way, speaking of the magic mirror, you should be especially careful."

The cat's face was serious:

"Although the magic mirror has no destructive power or curse, sometimes knowledge itself is a trap. It will lure you step by step into the abyss of depravity, making you unable to stop until you are completely corrupted. There have been students who have pursued the deeper mysteries of magic through this method, touched the forbidden realm, and eventually became corrupted magicians. Among them were even the academy's instructors!"

"Therefore, I suggest that if you have any secrets, truths, or knowledge that you want to know, you can only ask a maximum of three questions."

Lorne nodded solemnly upon hearing this:

"Just to be on the safe side, I'll only ask one question at most."

At the same time, the speed of the two brooms also suddenly slowed down.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

The outline of the East Ring Road appeared at the edge of the field of vision, with layers of white buildings gleaming in the sunlight. In the distance, a domed ancient stone tower stood alone on the edge of the cliff.

The broom carrying the two stopped some distance from the old clock tower number three, put them on the ground, and then quickly checked the time with Meow Leon before driving away.

Watching their departing figures, Lorne couldn't help but ask:

"Senior, it's only afternoon. I'm supposed to greet the dawn tomorrow morning. Isn't it a bit early?"

He initially thought that Meow Leon was just bringing him here to scout out the place, but he didn't expect the two broomsticks to run away in a flash without waiting for them.

Meow Leon tiptoed behind a wall, peeking out half his head to examine the stone tower not far away:

"Please, naive child, do you think this is your backyard, where you can come and go as you please? This is one of the three forbidden zones of Silver Academy, a mysterious place sealed for thousands of years. Of course, it is guarded around the clock."

"Guarding the restricted area is one of the most sought-after tasks. You don't have to run around, there's not much to do, and the students know this is a restricted area, so they won't come here. Most importantly, the reward credits are plentiful, making it a highly competitive task. Even at night, there are guards. The only time you can get in is during their handover later."

Oh, so that means I'll be staying here all night, until tomorrow morning.

Meow Leon added:

"I'll draw attention to you, then you can put this on and sneak in."

The cloak around its neck automatically came off, grew larger in the wind, and floated in front of Lorne.

Lorne stared at the cloak that was slowly changing shape in the air and asked in confusion:

"This is your magic cloak? What's it for?"

For some reason, MeowLeon felt uneasy when Lorne said those words, as if the guy was cursing him. It looked at Lorne suspiciously and explained:

"My cloak is a magical item, inscribed with light magic runes, which can interfere with people's perception and light refraction to a certain extent, that is, make it invisible."

"But you don't have any magic right now, so I'll have to inject some magic into it first. Then you should hurry up and go in. Be careful, the time limit is only half an incense stick's time, so don't expose yourself halfway through."

Lorne nodded solemnly; half an incense stick's time was more than enough.

"And what about yourself?" he asked.

"Tch, I've gotten the job of guarding the clock tower a few times before. I've explored the whole place already; I could go in with my eyes closed."

Lorne wondered if everyone who received the mission to protect the restricted area would first break the rules themselves.

The person and the cat waited outside furtively for quite a while.

Finally, it was time for the shift change. Several senior students walked over from a distance and took over from the students who were originally in charge. Among them were several beautiful and youthful female students.

It's now!

Meow Leon winked at Lorne, then swaggered out, squatted under a pillar, meowed twice, and began licking his paws and washing his face.

"Wow, Little Lush!!"

"Oh, it's Meow Leon! It's been so long!"

"Let your older sister hug me, hee hee."

Several senior female students gathered around with shining eyes, drawing the attention of others as well. Lorne seized the opportunity, donned his magic cloak, and moved swiftly towards the clock tower.

Leon, who sacrificed his body to cover for Lorne, struggled frantically in his senior's arms: "Let me go, meow! School rules say we can't mess with our classmates!"

So this school rule can be interpreted in this way?

Lorne glanced back at Meow Leon, then inwardly cursed.

Bah! You don't know how lucky you are!

The moment I stepped into the old clock tower, a voice echoed in my mind again.

[Congratulations! Through your cunning and treachery, and by betraying your friends for personal gain, you have successfully evaded the layers of scrutiny by the Demonic Cult's guards and have finally entered the Soul-Suppressing Tower, where the Demonic Cult suppresses powerful figures of the righteous path!]
