All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 338 Even in the Abyss

At the end of summer, it rained again in Waterdeep. Livia, accompanied by her family, participated in this year's holiday parade. She was well protected, wrapped in a thick fur coat, sitting in a carriage and observing the crowd from the window.

It was rare for her to go to the chaotic dock area. Of course, it was only on the periphery. She saw the scene of her brother Andre wearing armor and holding a sword, patrolling with the city guards. Rich areas are two different things.

A large number of poor people gather in the dock area, and the education level is also the worst. The apartments along the street are like beggars’ clothes.Many street lamps were broken, the glass was smashed, and the candles inside were missing.

Livia saw a woman sitting on a street corner, breastfeeding her child generously, with a tired and dazed expression.A drunk was squeezed into the corral by the parade crowd, and competed with the bob-tailed pig for water.The boys over there like to wear ankle-length shorts, dress like sailors, speak rough, their faces are as tanned as their parents, their eyes are careless, and they are a little presumptuous, making frivolous comments on passing women.

Livia thought of the boy she had seen in her dream, and his eyes were a little wild.

That was more than half a month ago, and there are only so many memories about that boy.

"My little Livi, are you having fun today?" The shrewd and kind Jeremy had rosy cheeks. He drank a lot of wine today and would go to a banquet tonight.

"Yes, it's a nice celebration. Dad, I'm a little tired."

"You go back to the bedroom, and don't forget to brush your teeth before going to bed."

That night, everyone in the family went to the banquet. Livia bathed and washed under the service of the maid, and got into the soft silk quilt.

Dreams come with sleep.

Livia knew that she could resist the dream, as Linde said, this is not a prison, but an invitation, and guests have the ability to refuse to attend the meeting.

She hadn't been to the meeting for many days, and that initial question was bothering her.On the one hand, there is the rich life of a merchant's daughter, and on the other hand, there is a mysterious opportunity with unknown risks, which makes it difficult to make up your mind.

Of course Livia hopes to have both. If she can have them all, children don’t like to choose.

Tonight, Dreamland sent another invitation, so persistent, so affectionate.Livia regained her composure and stood on the silver casting road again. She was not afraid in her heart, but almost cheered with joy.

"Hey, dumb, you haven't been here for a long time." The boy sat on his way and greeted lazily.

"Don't say that, Zim, it's very impolite. Oh, hello, my name is Bordon Capin, from Dagger Beach." It was another young man who spoke. Very nice.

There were more people in the dream, besides Bordon who introduced herself, there was also a female halfling who greeted Livia with curious and bright eyes, and claimed to be a cook at the Road Inn, named Tao Na.

Daggerford is south of Waterdeep, and the Road Inn is further south. They are all places that Linde passed through during his travels.

Livia was surprised, and she asked: "How did you get here?"

"Are you not mute?" The boy named Qim's eyes lit up, "Then why don't you talk to me?"

Livia had no expression on her face and ignored this ruffian-like guy. She introduced herself to the other two newcomers.

"I am Livia Myco, from Waterdeep."

"I'm from Waterdeep City too!" Qim said garrulously.

"When you came here, did you see a man named De Lin? He will explain the situation of this dream."

Bordon nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, Mr. De Lin helped us people in Dagger Beach not long ago."

The halfling Tao Na also nodded excitedly, "Mr. De Lin lived in the Dalu Inn for three days. He also solved a huge conspiracy!"

Qim said lazily: "I haven't seen any De Lin. But I have heard it so many times that my ears are calloused."

"Then how did you get invited to Dreamland? Have you seen a statue?" Livia asked keenly.

"Yes." The boy did not deny, "I picked it up on the road. Are you the owner?"

"You keep it. Is the statue all right?"

"It's already broken into eight pieces." Zim grinned.Livia was saddened to hear of the fate of such a significant statue.

She noticed that the three newcomers were all lighting up the light in their skulls. The halfling Tao Na, who was progressing the slowest, also had four candles.The fastest progress was young Bordon, who lit up eleven, followed by Zim, nine.

Livia hesitated for a while, and asked, "You all want to go to the library, right?"

"That's right." Their answers were pretty much the same.

"Can you tell me why? Why do you want to go to the library tower?"

Zim said enthusiastically: "For money! I heard that there are all kinds of books in the tower. I can copy them and sell them for money."

The reason pierced like a needle and made Livia angry, but she said nothing, and didn't even give Zim a second look.

The young man said: "I want to learn magic so that I can protect the people around me."

The halfling smiled shyly, "I heard that there are various recipes in the tower, and Mr. De Lin said that I have the talent of casting spells, so I should not waste them."

Livia asked again: "Aren't you afraid of being deceived? What if the legend of the library tower is false, De Lin is lying to you, and the king of the tower is actually an evil spirit, what should you do?"

This question really frightened Bordon and Tao Na. They looked at each other and couldn't answer.

Only Zim didn't care, he snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid."

"Why?" Livia couldn't help but ask. She didn't really want to hear what this little ruffian had to say.

Zim is a thin boy. Long-term malnutrition makes his body look similar to Livia's, but he has a vigorous vitality and is as resistant to falling and beating as a bug. The boy said contemptuously: "I only have one life left. Anyone who wants it can take it. As long as I make money and have enough to eat, I'm not afraid of anything."

Livia couldn't understand Zim's living conditions. At this moment, she recalled the numb breastfeeding woman, the funny drunkard, and the dilapidated streets when she passed the port area during the day.

Not everyone is born rich and well-fed, and many people live in poverty and pain. For them, there is no so-called initial problem. Fate has not given them a choice. As long as they can change the status quo, no matter how dangerous the road is, We all have to go up.Even if the end is an abyss, you have to go until that day before you are willing to die.
