All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts
Chapter 378 To the New World
Winter in Faerun is coming.
For Waterdeep City in the North, wind and snow are an old friend of the locals, and there is nothing to be afraid of. The maritime climate means that there will not be heavy snow that can cover the houses in winter, but what is even more uncomfortable is the biting humidity and cold.
At this season of the year, the Maiko family always spends extra money on charcoal to burn the boiler vigorously, allowing hot steam to flow through every pipe laid under the floor of the room to ensure that the house is as warm as spring.
But too warm is not good, because Livia's body can't stay in a hot and dry environment for a long time, so the servants will put water basins in the room, put cool herbs in the bottle on the bedside table, and open windows in the corridor for ventilation .
Livia placed the desk by the window and worked at the desk in the warm and pale sunlight. The quill rustled as she produced sheets of paper with delicate characters and orderly scrawls. Her fingers were imprinted with ink stains, and the sides of her wrists were stained with ink. The table top has a thick layer of leather. The drooped eyelids quivered slightly, and the slender eyelashes cast pale shadows like cat claws under the eyes.
The adventurers of the Sword Coast received news that an island in the Western Navy Islands had risen into the sky, and that there was a floating city in Faerûn. Countless people long to board the floating city, but only a few know the way. It is said that only the chosen ones can travel to Drinriel.
Livia is looking forward to obtaining the qualification to go to Delinriel as soon as possible.She was only one step away from saving enough candles for promotion.Tonight is the final sprint.
She let out a breath, and a thin layer of ice formed on the window glass, blurring the view outside the house. A stone hit the edge of the window. Livia was startled, raised her head, struggled to pull the lock, opened the window and looked into the courtyard. Zim, smiling brightly, waved to the girl upstairs.
The Maike family is very educated, even if they are wary and alienated from this young man of unknown origin, they will not turn away guests.
Livia walked on the table with her knees, half of her body leaned out of the window, she smiled when she saw her friend, then sighed and shook her head deliberately, as if she didn't welcome this rash guest.In the eyes of the elders of the Maike family, this is almost a dangerous signal. Most of the youthful feelings between men and women arise in this way, and they don't want to entrust their precious daughter to strangers who don't know the details.
A quarter of an hour later, they met in the living room. With the butler and maids watching calmly, their conversation was very reserved.
Zim didn't like this kind of environment. The first time he met Livia offline, he had a good chat.
It was a complete accident that he met Livia. Qim, who has mastered some spellcasting ability, is no longer satisfied with the poor and gangsters in the dock area, and instead sets his sights on the wealthy community in the North End. With his skillful hands and magical skills, he succeeded several times without being caught by the city guards.
However, a place like Waterdeep has no room for a stupid young man. Even the legendary thieves may be dead. The reason is that there are too many hidden dangerous people in this city. Zim planned to finish the last transaction and call it a day, but he happened to break into Maiko's house. To be precise, he happened to get into Livia's bedroom. At that time, the girl was still reading secretly at night.
So the process of the two meeting for the first time can be described as humorous.
Livia finally knew that Qim's prevarication and cover-up job was indeed very disgraceful.
She felt that such dirty work would damage the corporate image of their tower. Qim smiled and said, Miss, you don’t understand the suffering of us poor people. Livia said that there are still many poor people who make a living by doing crafts and earn clean money. Qim said, "The poor people you call are already a very happy family to me."
Livia let out a long sigh and decided to help this poor Dreamland netizen.After that day, Zim became a regular visitor to Maike's house, but he refused Livia's financial support.
"I will find a way to survive. Just lend me a few books. I will return them after reading them."
The friendship between Zim and Miss Rich is so strange.
They put letter paper in the book and communicated in cipher text.
After Livia was ready to be promoted to a tower apprentice, she immediately set off for Delinriel.Of course, it was impossible for her family to agree, so she was going to take a walk-and-go trip, and Zim agreed to go with her, and she was also her accomplice.
Zim chatted about recent experiences.
"I met a new warlock. He claims to be a descendant of Elminster Alma."
"Which Elminster?" Livia almost knocked over the teacup excitedly, regardless of the dignity of a lady.
"The continent of Faerun, the entire Toril, is there another Elminster in this world?" Zim curled his lips, "But don't get too excited. The guy I know is very crappy, Except for a few tricks, it is still handy, and even casting a 1st-level spell may go wrong."
"How could the children of Elminster be so bad?"
"There are rumors that Elminster of Shadow Valley is a passionate seed, a big bastard who keeps seeds everywhere. Who knows how many bloods he has wandering outside? Anyway, the guy I know is living a pitiful life." Zim He made a gesture, which meant that the man was an accomplice of thieves.
Livia frowned. She learned some common sense about the underground world from Zim, and said dissatisfied and worriedly: "You haven't done anything for gold coins anymore, have you?"
"I drool when I look at the goddess Watkins every day." Qim smiled lazily and noticed the butler's increasingly unfriendly eyes. "It's time for me to go. Good night."
"Yes, good night." Livia replied nervously with her heart skipping a beat.
Zim waved goodbye.The servants all thought he was a weird person, and there was no way to wish someone good night so early in the morning.
At lunch, brother Andre rarely rushed home to eat.
The family atmosphere was harmonious at the dinner table, but Andre brought a worrying news.
"Recently, a kind of contract has begun to circulate in the underground market in the city. The seller claims that it can give the person who signs the contract infinite knowledge."
Father Jeremy Maico asserted: "Obviously it's another trick of the villains, maybe the devil is at work. We don't allow such things to appear in our family."
There was a chorus of agreement from around the table. Livia’s smile was sweet and flawless. However, her brother Andre still glanced at her worriedly, without any serious meaning.
The mother said softly: "By the way, that Mr. Zim seems to come to visit often recently. Li Wei, what do you think of this boy?"
"not so good."
Mother said "Oh" with a strange smile.
"It's really not that good," Levi repeated. "Don't get me wrong. He's looking for Dad to do the jewelry business. We don't know each other well."
Although the jewels were stolen goods, Zim did use this reason to pay a formal visit to Maiko's house.
"If a family wants to prosper, it cannot do without the efforts of its descendants." The mother said casually, "How about getting to know boys from other families?"
"I'm very tired, Mom." Livia's smile remained unchanged.
That night, Livia went to bed early. She has accumulated the knowledge she needs to brew candles.
On the silver casting road in the dream world, Livia stood in front of the tower and lit the last candle.
Then the door opened, and with the blessings of all the travelers, she stepped into the kingdom of God.
Inside the tower is an empty hexagonal corridor, and an illusory sun is suspended above the ventilation shaft.
Livia looked around, "Mr. De Lin?"
The tower king slowly descended, and Livia said tremblingly: "Hello, great being, I am Livia Maico. I accept your guidance, ignite the light in my skull, and would like to be called the agent of your will. …”
The king in the illusory sun raised his hand lightly, and Livia ignited white flames all over her body. She bathed in the radiance, as if soaking in warm spring water. From nerve endings to spiritual memory, she felt comfortable, as if she was born again from the womb of the world Same reborn.
The flames slowly shrank and condensed into a "Wizard's Practical Guide" in front of Livia.
"You're here." Linde pushed open the door on the corridor wall, and greeted Livia who was inexplicably surprised.
"Mr. De Lin, long time no see!"
"It's a coincidence that you came, and one day later, I will go on a long journey. Since you have recognized the king of the tower as the suzerain, we are companions." Linde stood still beside the ventilation shaft, stroking the railing, with a relaxed and leisurely posture , "Livia Maiko."
"Yes." Livia straightened her back.
"You are now a newcomer to the tower, and Delinriel is looking forward to your arrival. However, this does not mean that you will become a member of the Secret Dating. You need to continue to work hard, pass the trial, enter a higher academic palace, and compete with more What an excellent elite mage to deal with. At present, all you have is this "Guide". When you enter the secret meeting, you will have a study room, which is equivalent to one and a half planes."
Livia felt dizzy after hearing this and just nodded her head.
"With the "Guide", you don't have to enter the dream world to collect candlelight in the future. It can absorb candlelight just like the contract. As for the function of candlelight, you will know it when you arrive in Delinriel." Lind showed warmth. Smiling, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can get answers from the "Guide". See you in Delinriel."
"...Okay!"
Livia woke up from her sleep, and she didn't know when there was a thick notebook in her arms, and she fondled it fondly.
The moonlight was like frost, and a pebble hit the edge of the window.
Zim is already waiting for her, and tonight, they begin their escape to the new world.
