Blooming Tower of the West Wind

The measuring meter is quite considerate, and it comes with an hourglass for an hour and a half.

Virgil went directly to the camp not far away to find helpers because of Theron's request.Theron looked at Hipper adoringly after Virgil found a few workers carrying shovels and pickaxes and said, "Sister, you have long thought that Virgil would find someone to help, so you specifically asked me to give him Is it about money?"

This "sister" call was very natural. When the archmage's heart was about to melt, Virgil squeezed over enviously and said, "Dear Sir Sivir, when will you allow your honorable sister to call me?" elder brother'."

The archmage looked at him with a half-smile, "Aren't you uncle?"

"You are all 'sisters' now, is there anything wrong with me following Zhanguang?"

"Hmm, my sister said it's not allowed, but it's not allowed." The archmage waved his fingertips and whispered, and the wind barrier slowly rotated around, evacuating the extremely active wind out of this area in an orderly manner. To keep the middle calm and the sand not flying randomly, Theron tore open the cracks in the elements and moistened the sand in the designated area. Several workers dug here and dug deeper.After digging for about ten meters—this seems like a large amount of work, Theron thought to himself that there was 30 meters of sand beneath Aime Cortes and the tower was sitting on a rock bed, so the dark and moist The volume of sand is multiplied by 8 and then multiplied by 3 to get a volume that I was also taken aback by.

The archmage seemed to see through her mind, and whispered to her: "Aime Cortes not only dug eight pipes, but an inverted circular frustum with the diameter of the base of the tower body equal to the area of ​​the top. Sliding down, the slope of the frustum section is about 30°."

Theron gasped, then asked, "From your experience, is this depth enough?"

The archmage said with a low smile: "I don't have much experience. If there is a 30-meter-deep rock bed here like Aymecortes, this may not be enough, uh... how many gauges do we have?"

"If six are left for small-area crystallization as planned, only four may be available here."

The archmage was about to give instructions to the workers invited by Virgil, and the workers said worriedly: "There is a vein of black water underground here, and it may be dug through."

Theron asked puzzledly: "Isn't it good to dig through? I heard that black water is a good fuel. In such a place without wood and grass, wouldn't it be good to have black water?"

The worker smiled and said: "Miss is right. Black water is a very good fuel, but the scene of digging up the black water is often very scary. The black water comes from deep underground. When it is opened, the ground either spews upwards or It collapses downwards, and the people standing on it usually end badly, this is not something we can accomplish, so..."

Theron looked at Hipper, and Hipper shrugged: "A depth of ten meters is almost enough. If you take three numbers, you can get a linear reading. What do you think?"

Theron readily accepted this statement, and after about half an hour, she finally finished reading all the numbers, wrote them down in a notebook, and completed the preliminary data measurement.Virgil sent the workers away after paying, and then walked towards the second crystallization area.The second piece of crystallization was much smaller, and without much effort, Theron delineated the crystallization area by relying on "elemental vision", and used geometric methods to find out several measurement points, and finally put the measuring gauges on them one by one .

Hipper has been pulling the end of the rope for her, and seeing Theron squinting under the scorching sun and drawing the line very seriously, she couldn't help laughing again.

"Very satisfied, huh? Archmage?"

Hipper shrugged and snorted, but her smile never stopped, "She will leave the Mage Tower one day, and then."

"Then?"

"Then flap your wings and fly high." The archmage's gray eyes narrowed slightly, and his blurred eyes were locked on Theron.

Virgil had a sore nose for his old friend. What could be more sad than a well-bred pet returning to the forest? Virgil was so sad that he immediately ran to hug Dvořák, who jumped over with his hooves Jump, don't know why Virgil suddenly got nervous.

It took about half an hour to wait, so Theron dropped the things in her hands and ran back to Hipper. She glanced at Virgil first, and then sweetly said to Hipper: "Teacher, just wait now. , won't you sit next to me for a while?"

Hipper smiled and said, "Do you have any other plans? I can help you."

Theron raised his head halfway, aiming at Hipper with a bright smile.

From the perspective of a bystander, no matter what standard is used to evaluate this scene, it is very pleasing to the eye. Virgil is holding back more and more words, and then he considers how to leak a sentence or two to make the archmage not so comfortable-- He seems to have figured out how Hipper treats Theron: when he praises Theron's beauty, Hipper will show her sharp claws, and when he praises her talent, she will be proud but worried.

Although it makes people feel unbearable, it feels quite worthwhile to make the archmage show an exasperated expression, a soft and sweet smile, and a sad mood.

"I have a plan, but I'm not sure I can make it happen."

"I want to hear your magical idea first, would you like to tell me?"

The archmage always treats her little apprentices with too much politeness, which may be alienated to others, but after hearing what her alienation looks like, Virgil can still discern the difference keenly.

"Of course! I was thinking, since earth elemental creatures can have 'fusion properties', let them go underground to detect the range of crystallization, what's the idea?"

Hipper burst out laughing, and asked: "Since the children of the soil have the 'fusion characteristic', how should the children of the soil judge the crystallization? Don't they go directly through the crystallization?"

Theron asked: "Teacher, I have always wanted to ask this question before. If the son of the earth can directly enter the crystallization, will anyone still ask what is inside the crystallization? So I think there is something between the son of the earth and the crystallization." special interaction?"

Hipper said: "Your idea makes sense. I heard Lapais say that the son of the earth will be burned by the crystallized veins, which is similar to the feeling of being burned by a flesh and blood creature, but I have never seen it. I don't know what it looks like. Because It will be burned, so the Son of Earth will not be particularly close to crystallization. You can try the method you said."

But Theron hesitated to leave, and Hipper asked, "What's the matter?"

Theron muttered and walked away two steps, suddenly there was a wave of elemental fluctuations, two small stones fell from the air, and the Son of Earth, who was slightly bigger than the sum of the two fists, got up, and the invisible gravity pulled him to the ground. The "hands" and "feet" are pulled back to where they should be.

She chanted the spell softly, and the two sons of the earth began to dive, like shells on the beach. The sand entered the body from the front of the body, and then threw it out from the back. To a certain extent, there are only slight undulations of sand and soil, and it is completely impossible to see what has been drilled here.

A mage who is proficient in manipulating the children of the earth can exert considerable power in any battle that occurs on the surface, probably due to the elemental fusion characteristics of the earth elemental creatures, but relatively, the children of the earth are not very good at digging soil, which cannot be ignored It's a pity.

Theron is proficient in manipulating "wind" and water. These two relatively lively elements like her very much. They don't even need to give too many orders. They know how to please the heir of the elemental king, but "earth" is different. , They are a bit dull, if you don't speak clearly, they don't know how to act, and you must describe your purpose in detail, and because of this, Theron gradually felt powerless, and couldn't help saying to Hipper : "Teacher, my... I... I can't feel them very much. It's probably more than two or three yards thick. Why?"

Hipper said: "That's normal, isn't the time running out? Let's get your readings done first and then we'll do these."

Theron obediently went to check the crystallized readings and marked them on the topographic map that Virgil got from nowhere.

"I just bought it at the store and gave it to you."

"Thank you, it's really helpful." Theron said and quickly wrote down the readings he had taken before, and then solemnly rolled it up and stuffed it in his schoolbag.

At the same time, Hipper took over Theron's control of the Son of Earth, and sure enough felt that the elements below the surface were difficult to control.

Not surprisingly, mages can hardly cast spells on things they cannot see.When Theron first came to the Mage Tower, she kept attacking the Archmage with uninterrupted simple wind blades, making it impossible for her to fight back, so that the Archmage had to take the risk of hiding behind the large Son of Earth and forcibly assaulting.The situation is similar now, except that the two elemental messengers are particularly favored by the elements, so they are still willing to listen to her when they are cut off from sight. Under this vague connection, Hipper focused on digging down. , Theron finished the reading, walked back to her, and looked at her intently.

Hipper was very focused, her eyes fell on the girl's chest, but she didn't see anything, she couldn't help squinting her eyes under the strong light, and her little apprentice thoughtfully raised a dark cloud, Put them both together in the shadows.

Theron saw her eyes slowly open, and the dark pupils in the silver-gray pupils slowly enlarged, instead of the bright silver iris just now.

Beads of sweat even oozed from her forehead. Theron wanted to reach out to help her wipe it off several times, but afraid of disturbing her, he raised and lowered his hand repeatedly.

Out of the clouds, Virgil put on his bone goggles and looked away as Dvořák snorted softly and kicked the sand with his hooves.

Finally, the archmage's tense muscles slowly relaxed, and the naked eye could see that her tightly pursed lips suddenly softened like a string that was slowly being loosened.

"Theron, do you want to try it?"

The author has something to say: Virgil: Where are my titanium goggles?

Remember to rub the dog! ! ! ! !I'm back in my kennel now, what the hell are you doing home?Feel uncomfortable at home and feel guilty!
