Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Her laugh made her sound much more mature than she really was, and Hipper, in prying embarrassment, argued: "Females are always soft on cubs, I'm like that to you... no, Inaccurate, in short, there will always be some people who will be soft-hearted towards the cub, for example, Virgil has limited soft-heartedness towards you. There are not always bad people in the world, and there are still people who will lend a helping hand, such as me."

"I don't..." The little beast finally came out of her arms, raised his head slightly, pink around his eyes, and pink at the tip of his nose, "I'm not afraid...not that scared." Theron said seriously: " I will protect you from now on."

Hipper hooked her waist, a little surprised, so in order to better talk to her, she leaned back her upper body and said with a smile: "Really? You can think of it this way, I'm...I'm glad you With this intention."

"I'm serious! I will also... I will graduate, I will also become an official mage, I will know a lot of spells, write a lot of papers... Although I may never catch up with you, but I... But I will protect you of!"

Hipper smiled and reassured: "Okay, okay, I'm glad someone can protect me, I enjoy the feeling of being protected."

"That's really great!" Little Beast's eyes were still red, but she smiled again, the same cute and familiar smile, with crooked eyes, and two lying silkworms appeared under her eyes, like an apple with a little baby fat powder The tender little face is extraordinarily soft, so tempting that people want to pinch it or...

kiss.

She thought it was time to back off, but Theron was still hooking her, and her first attempt to break free failed, and now they should be in a funny position, similar white burqas, hooking each other's waists, only the hipbones sticking to each other Together, each body leans back for balance.

"Huh...?" The little girl's attention was quickly shifted away from Hipper. She looked at another mountain on the opposite side, which was one of the two mountains exiting towards the desert between Duolu Town, "That mountain ...There should be a river flowing down that mountain? I remember it."

Hipper looked at her and smiled softly, "You remember this, then do you remember what happened then?"

Theron had a bad premonition, but she still tried to remember, pointing to the slope below the mountain and said: "I remember I went up the mountain from there, because I saw a gap in front, it must be a new place, no Bad guy's."

"and then?"

"I'm scared, there's water all around me, I want them to protect me..."

"Then?"

"Well..." The little girl thought about it seriously, "I climbed up the mountain, and someone was chasing me from behind. I seemed to be crying because of fear. 'Wind' pushed me from behind, and 'Water' said they had a way. Suddenly, water sprayed down and washed away the bad guys, and the 'wind' urged me to go fast, blowing me into a notch, and from there I went to the back of the mountain."

Hipper nodded, and Theron suddenly realized: "You mean..."

"It's you, because of you, the lake on the mountain burst, and almost all the water flowed down. In the past, this place was a desert, because the water from the mountain flowed down, so the water volume of this river increased, and grass grew along the way. The lake Disappeared, turned into a river, the river nourished the desert, grew grass, water seeped under the sand, turned into an underground river, maybe a little bit exposed in the shallow rock formation, then the surface became an oasis."

"Is that so..."

"The road we're going to go is along this river."

"Yes, because of me?"

Hipper smiled and scratched her nose. This is what she used to do to Theron sometimes, because Theron's serious and nervous look is so cute, and she often makes a lot of intimate gestures without thinking about anything.But this time, after touching her straight nose, Hipper felt that maybe this behavior was too intimate.

How intimate a gesture is, she feels that she can’t define it by herself alone, except for some customary and suggestive gestures, some she takes for granted, Virgil thinks it is inappropriate, and some are so intimate that it makes people face Burn up, for example, arm in arm, but everyone turns a blind eye.

Now seems to be a bad time to seriously analyze this question. Theron is still waiting anxiously for her answer. Do you know what a seasonal inland river is?"

Theron thought for a while and said, "It's a river that appears in the wet season in summer and disappears in the dry season in winter, because the water disappears quickly in the desert. Right?"

"Yes, that's right. The lake on the mountain keeps water flowing for several years, so the balance is broken and the oasis erodes the desert."

After the explanation, Theron didn't look relieved. Hipper touched the center of her brow and asked, "What else?"

"Isn't that... isn't it because of me that I broke the balance, and I also violated... the guild convention?"

Hipper burst out laughing, "Are you worried about this?"

Theron nodded honestly.

"Don't be afraid, I don't think you are responsible for this matter, you did it out of self-protection, and this change is not catastrophic... Most importantly, not many people know that you are the one who caused Kate A demonic beast that harasses the elements."

"That's what I did too, it doesn't make a difference just because I changed my identity."

What a good boy, Hipper thought happily, but also sincerely defended her: "I think you didn't have the ability to control your own magic power at the time, and you were ignorant and almost ignorant, so you were not bound by the wizard's guild, and you insisted on classifying , it might as well be classified as a 'wild monster', provoking a wild monster for no reason is a very stupid act, and it is not the fault of the monster that caused any disaster. So don't think about it, only Virgil and I know about it."

Emerald green eyes blinked, looking at her with a twinkle.

Hipper pressed her forehead and said: "You insist that this is your fault, and it is just a mistake. Don't dwell on it. If you worry about being punished for it, it is completely unnecessary. Except me And Virgil, no one can connect this matter to you, I will never say it, if you are not at ease, we will kill Virgil to silence it?"

"What! Why are you trying to kill me all of a sudden!" Virgil must have been eavesdropping, and when he heard that he was going to attack him, he immediately jumped and turned around, "Hey, Hipper!"

The two ladies hugging each other turned their heads to look at her. Hipper freed one hand to start casting a spell. Theron grabbed her wrist, "Don't... Virgil is a good man, don't kill him."

"Even if it will bring you trouble, don't kill him?"

Virgil looked at Theron nervously, and Theron showed a reassuring smile and said, "Yeah, my trouble is my trouble, why kill him? My trouble is not more important than a life."

Hipper leaned into her ear and said, "Then it's completely unnecessary for you to worry about being 'emotional dysplasia', the kind of person who can't understand other people's emotions well, is insensitive to life, and puts himself at the center of everything. You see, you don't fit any of those criteria. A born villain would never let his life go so easily."

"Is this...is that so? You didn't say that to comfort me, did you?"

"Of course not!" Virgil always answered questions related to himself very quickly. This time he raised his hands and feet in favor of the archmage's argument, "Hipper is absolutely right."

Hipper glanced at him, and after forcing Virgil back a few steps, she put on a warm expression and whispered to Theron: "If you are still not at ease, we can go to the library in Dead Leaf City Find that book and read it together, are we talking about the same book? The one about criminal motive discovery?"

"That's right, that's what I was talking about."

"I know where it is."

Virgil looked at the two ladies in white robes a dozen steps away and said to Hektra: "Old man, do the two of them usually go to the library when they have a date?"

The gentleman in blue replied very politely: "Yes, if the 'date' here means asking to go out together."

"Oh."

Theron finally let go of Hipper, and after the emergency was lifted, the archmage had to say: "Next time, I can't just hug him like this."

"why not?"

"First of all, I don't like physical contact like this."

Theron is not satisfied with this explanation. She thinks Hipper likes it. She also likes to be next to her teacher. She likes her graceful body, which is more beautiful than the art relics of Gu Gaobolun, which is famous for its rich body beauty. In addition, the touch comes up. In other words, the body of the archmage is absolutely incomparable to the cold statues and portraits.

"Secondly, you will be an adult soon. You can't always express your feelings like a child without restraint. You have to learn to express your feelings appropriately and with control."

When the archmage said this, she was quite guilty. When it came to controlling emotions, she didn't feel that breaking up a storm was more controlling than a mere hug.But Theron didn't know anyway, and it was impossible for her to use this as an argument against herself.

"But I'm not yet of age..." Theron retorted, pouted.

"Can you guarantee that you will reach such a standard in a moment of adulthood? From my experience, this is impossible. This kind of emotional expression must be done step by step, just like writing an article. Well, no There will be a next time." The sun has risen a little bit, and it has begun to dry, the archmage turned and walked towards Virgil, while walking, he wrapped his head with a transparent gauze hanging around his neck, and a linen scarf outside Covering the head and face, only the eyes are exposed.

Even Virgil covered his head, which was already wearing a white hat, with a white cloth.

Theron was left behind for a moment before noticing that Hipper was dressed much like her today, a white burqa, beige boots, off-white stockings, a lace skirt over a loose white hood The burqa has arabesques embroidered with dark blue thread.

The archmage is very serious even if he doesn't wear black mage robes. The wind flaps the hem of the burqa, while the heavy metal edge dutifully holds down the skirt, and the slender legs appear and disappear. Theron is fascinated by it until Xie Po snapped her fingers, and the son of the earth she was sitting on was awakened, and followed rumblingly.
