Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Theron was a little scared, and grabbed her hand and refused to let go. Hipper had to half kneel on the ground to keep herself at the same height as Theron. She grabbed Theron's shoulders to make her stand, kindly—— Still looking serious-- said: "Theron, before we went out, we had agreed that if you don't play with the elementals casually and don't run around, I won't... punish you. Right? "

"...Yes." The little girl's eyes began to dodge, but she still stood upright.

"But you broke the agreement, you called the elements casually, right?"

"I... um... I just shook hands with them."

"It's a kind of calling, right? We define calling like this, an act of trying to elicit a response from the other party, do you agree? Hmm..." She suddenly felt that she was too serious. Words like "definition", "attempt", and "identification" seem too uncommon, let alone this child who has been imprisoned underground for three years.

Hipper estimated from her height that she was eight or nine years old, which means that she was about six years old when she caused the Kettler riot.

How can a six-year-old learn this?

The archmage racked his brains for more everyday, simpler words, but Theron said, "... yes, agree."

Very well, she knew that "agree" and "identify" were synonymous, and the impatience in the Archmage's heart eased a little.

"Then I will punish you."

After hearing this, Theron's small face wrinkled sadly.Hipper said as slowly and gently as possible: "Although I don't want to treat you like this, but the agreed things must be done, Theron, I order you..."

She clearly saw the child tremble, and she didn't know whether it was due to the sting from the effective contract, or because of her fear of the next unknown order.Theron's emerald green eyes were full of pleading, but in addition to pleading, there was also a determination to grit his teeth and fight against the pain.

Hipper sighed, patted her head lightly and said, "I order you, apologize to me."

Theron froze, but the sting jumped, and she murmured, "Hipper, I'm sorry."

"Also, I need you to promise not to do similar things next time, not to run out in a stormy day, let alone call 'wind' in this kind of weather." The archmage's expression was serious and serious, even if she was in a mess The hairstyle did not damage the majesty of this elemental king, Theron looked at her, and stopped when he wanted to say something.Hipper was a little impatient, "If you can't promise, I will order you to promise."

After suffering twice, Theron fully understood that "command" is like "ho" or something else, which is the beginning of a spell that can make her uncomfortable. She flinched and whispered: "I promise, I won't , this kind of weather, call, 'wind', nor, run out."

"Very good, good boy." Her little face probably looked too pitiful, and the little compassion left by the archmage was drawn out, and she successfully defeated the mage's occupational disease that she didn't like to be in contact with people.

Virgil once said that the most important thing for raising a monster as a pet is companionship. Based on the Archmage's own judgment, this is the best time for her to accompany her.She recalled the experience of raising Tius, and Tius once accompanied her to lie on a chair and read a book.

She hooked Theron into her arms, picked her up again, walked to a rocking chair by the window and sat down, the black clouds were billowing outside, the lightning still entangled the body of the storm, and a terrifying shadow emerged from the darkness.

Theron has experienced the power of lightning at close range, and he curled up on Hipper in fear at this time, but Hipper said: "Don't be afraid, one day you will understand them, then master it, and finally surpass them ,do not be afraid."

Theron looked sideways at the rolling black clouds outside the window, and whispered into Hipper's ear, "I'm sorry, Hipper, did you, 'almost died'?"

"Almost."

"sorry Sorry……"

Hipper smiled lightly, and the swirling Zonda who appeared out of nowhere blew the blanket on the sofa for her, and the blanket wrapped the two of them together.The fabric, whether sheep or camel hair, is very warm and blocks the last bit of wind that seeps in through the crack of the door.The chubby body of Tius also floated up, forming a perfect furniture set with the light brown rocking chair.Hipper took off his shoes and stepped on Tius's back. The cute Tius whined twice and continued to breathe evenly. It seemed that he failed to wake up.

The child's body gradually warmed up. Hipper searched for some simple words in his mind, intending to explain the simplicity and complexity of the force of nature to Theron, but fell asleep halfway due to the dual effects of warmth and fatigue. Theron lay on his stomach She seemed to be inspired by some long-lost softness and warmth, and she quickly fell asleep.

The heat woke Hipper from a comfortable sleep.In fact, it was a rather novel experience—she would sometimes fall asleep in the library, which was always a bit cold, so a fair amount of the time her waking up would be painfully cold, never Like today because of the heat.

It was already dark, and the storm had stopped, and it was pitch black outside, but the whistling wind showed that the storm had only stopped temporarily, and hadn't gone away.

It took her a moment to figure out why she woke up in the drawing room at the bottom of the tower, but the sound of her easy breathing in her ears reminded her of the day when she was madly rushing into the storm because of a child's pleading gaze, Hipper sighed In a calm tone, he carefully recalled how long he hadn't done such a crazy thing in his adventure career, but before he could figure it out, the azure blue gentleman appeared.

It lowered its voice and asked, "My lady, are you going to get up?"

"Yeah, I'm going to talk to Theron after dinner," Hipper said.

The water lord discovered something. Among the three high-level intelligent creatures here, only the archmage would call this humanoid monster by the name out of some strange insistence. The hunter Virgil called her "Your newly bought My little monster", and the water lord himself is always obsessed with some new nicknames.

The water lord went upstairs first to ask the fire lord of Aymecortes to prepare dinner. Hipper woke Theron up, told her that it was time to go upstairs for dinner, and then picked her up and put her on the ground.Pulling Theron up the stairs, she found her curled up and hugged one of her shoulders, realizing she was cold.

The Archmage recited "The Breeze is Gentle", but at the same time wrote an incomprehensible symbol on his hand.The golden symbols condensed for a moment, but then scattered into the air like fireworks.A light wind swirled around Theron, but after a while it became a slightly warmer wind.
