Blooming Tower of the West Wind

The storm outside the window is indeed extremely exciting. The mage's tower a few hundred yards high is already the highest place on the wasteland, but it is as small as a tree branch in front of the storm. Let every witness intuitively feel what is "sublime".

And the archmage who especially chose his mage tower at the gate of elements is very clear that the sublime and greatness that occurs almost every moment is the result of the repeated release of elemental power, and nature uses the power of spells recklessly , the elements follow certain simple and extreme rules to run freely, forming a primitive and unrefined aesthetic feeling.

In fact, she herself liked the scenery very much, but she didn't expect this little beast to have the same interest as her.

"Why do you want to go out?" Hipper asked again.

Theron said: "'They' are calling me, I want to go out and play with 'them'. There is no 'cave', they, hardly come."

In the frantic storm, all the elements are having a carnival. The tidal force between the interfaces is tearing apart the space. Elements can move in and out between the two interfaces without hindrance. Sometimes the tidal force is so strong that the child of the elements can fall out.They loudly call every companion to join in this carnival, the muffled voice can be heard by the Archmage, it doesn't sound like "ho", a root word that means activation in many spells, maybe a child's joke, But just being able to sense the elements shouting is pretty good.

Hipper was almost sure what she meant: she probably lived in an underground cave with almost no elements for a long time. She was alone and lonely. Now that she finally saw her former playmate, she would definitely want to go out to play.As a person who has a strong sense of the same element since childhood, Hipper once had a deep understanding of this kind of loneliness.

She may come from a noble family, and her good family education allowed her to get along with herself obediently after experiencing so much suffering.

"I think, go play with them. Let me, go out?" Theron suddenly turned his head, his emerald green eyes were full of pleading, and he looked extremely cute.Hipper couldn't help but glanced out, lightning, thunder and violent wind, maybe it will rain, maybe it won't, no normal person wants to go out in such weather, not even a rough hunter like Virgil. Don't want to go out in this weather.

"But it's very dangerous outside, very dangerous. No one will go out on this kind of day. The mage's tower is safe...you can't go out alone."

Theron turned his head away in disappointment, the feeling of excitement just now was gone, and he just looked out the window quietly and longingly.

Hipper thought of the scene where she was about to jump off the balcony, and thought that maybe the child would feel the pain and not mess around.She sighed, and Hektra, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, "Ma'am, don't you really want to go out?"

"Hectora, I think I need some thicker clothes." Hipper just informed, the door of the dressing room opened automatically, her fingers quickly slid in front of her like turning the pages of a book, and the hanging clothes also changed. After being moved one by one, Hipper added a vest on the outside of the shirt, saw a heavy cloak, took it off and put it on directly.She also took off the thin-soled leather shoes she usually wore at home, and put on a pair of tall boots, and then picked out a thick coat from her childhood clothes and put Theron on it.

I don't know how long it's been since she wore her clothes, and she buttoned them wrongly as soon as they came up. Hipper knelt down to look at her, carefully arranged her clothes, and confessed: "Only when I take care of you can you Get out, it's dangerous, very, very dangerous, I don't know how many people have lost their lives because of the storm at the Elemental Gate. Can't leave me, remember?"

The little guy nodded with a vague understanding.

"Don't mess around, don't play with them casually, or I will punish you." She grabbed the little girl's shoulders and looked at her very seriously.

The girl stared at her, and Hipper had the odd feeling that she wasn't listening, but was looking at herself.Frustrated, she shook Theron's shoulder a little exasperatedly: "Huh?"

The little girl flinched because of her shaking: "Punishment, yes, this one?" She pointed to her shoulder, Hipper let go of her hand in astonishment, the collar was torn a little, and half of the fresh brand was exposed.The skin and flesh there were scorched black, but the powder of mithril had been mixed into the deep part of the skin. Since then, the special potion has adhered to the skin and penetrated each other, which became the proof that the monster was subdued.Hipper unexpectedly felt ashamed—people should not imprint such a mark on their own kind, but the contract has been reached, unless she transfers the contract to others or is directly killed by the contracting party, otherwise they will always be in fact master-servant relationship.

But Theron probably didn't understand that she herself had become someone else's slave in a daze.

"I...uh, I won't punish you easily." But she immediately remembered the reason why she risked her life to take such a young child out, and she became as tough as an adult: "What mistake did you make, I will punish you?"

Theron frowned and thought for a while: "Leave Hipper and play with the elements casually."

"Okay, good boy." She whispered "light as a feather", then picked Theron up and walked out the door.

There was no terrible smell on the baby after washing, and it smelled of fresh milk, which was probably one of the reasons why Hipper didn't resist contact with her.Of course, novelty is also one of them. Hipper has never held a child before, and she thought that she would never have the opportunity to hold a child again for the rest of her long life.

When she got to the living room floor, she heard a rattling sound from the room, a soft cry of "Tius", and the footstool came running merrily, shaking its tassels at her, and making a sound. There was a "woo hoo" sound.It was inconvenient for Hipper to bend down, so he couldn't pet Tius, so he said to it apologetically, "Tius, do you want to go out in this weather?"

Tius, who heard her say this sentence, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suspiciously through the crack of the door to look at the almost black sky outside, then turned back suspiciously, and issued a message from the place where the cotton pad was probably his mouth. "Woo?"

The archmage smiled, "Although it's a bit dangerous, I will protect you. Oh, is Tius cutie scared?"

Tius let out a vicious "bark", but his short and stubby appearance made him not threatening.

Hipper walked in front, and Tius followed her. The little girl was lying on Hipper's shoulders, looking at the footstool walking behind with interest.
