Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Luna smiled and said, "Okay, you want a boyfriend, I'll ask him to help you find someone who has this hobby, and then introduce him to you."

Svis waved his hand, "Don't, it's just a joke! Seriously, please introduce me to Miss Sister!"

Theron's hand was still swollen, and Ms. Sloat applied it with a paste made from an unknown plant, wrapped it in a bandage and tied it with a beautiful bow.At this moment, she was refusing a gift from a beautiful girl. The other party was full of admiration for her and insisted on her accepting the gift. She looked embarrassed and had to ask Lenning to hold it for her.

Caroline said: "Theron seems to have more and more female admirers?"

"And there are fewer men," Swiss added.

Luna sneered: "Men are like this. They feel that taking a beautiful woman out to play will make them look good, but they are always afraid that their partner is better than themselves. In the past, they only saw the pretty face of the little fairy, so they came forward to confess. Now seeing that she is smart and able to fight, one or two are all shrunk. Hmph, man."

"Hey." Swiss protested.

Luna said earnestly, "Swiss, you are different, so don't go with them."

Caroline also came up to pat him, "After all, you are my younger brother, and you are different from those idiots. Don't join forces."

"Okay, okay..."

The four people arrived at the north tower of the deserted Sisters Hall, and laughter came from their activity room, which was very strange. Generally speaking, there was only Ms. Sloat beside them. Could there be another inspector coming to inspect?

The four looked at each other two by two, and ran over at the same speed. When they opened the door, they saw Ms. Sloat drinking tea with a handsome man in black, with her half-worn sweater aside.

The spider Shirley curled up her eight legs and nestled in a ball on Virgil's lap. The hunter was stroking its protruding joints and abdomen in a strange way.

"Why are you here?" The three said these words to Virgil at the same time, Caroline didn't understand, and looked at the remaining three people with a frown.

"Oh! lovely little girls! Oh, and boys."

The obvious discriminatory tone that didn't even bother to use modifiers made the young man glared at him, and everyone gathered around and sat around the table.

Theron had no doubts that he would be able to have a lively chat with Ms. Sloat on the first day he saw her, but he still asked: "Do you know each other?"

Virgil said exaggeratedly: "How come cutie Theron doesn't understand me so much! I'm the leader of Starsong Castle, and there's no one I don't know here. Ms. Sloat and I had a 'strategic partnership' back then. "

Theron nodded. This so-called "strategic partnership" is probably the same as the relationship between Svis and Sloat, which is a long-term and stable relationship of exchanging information and answers.

Sure enough, everyone automatically understood it like this, and no one asked him.

"Well, I'm leaving here tomorrow, so I bought gifts for Theron and Luna's friends. Everyone has a share."

And so he started handing out presents, and even Shirley got a live white mouse with a little red bow on its tail (now stuck to its spider web), and Ms Sloat had new reading glasses for Lou A delicate little comb for Na, a strange earring for Svis, an ordinary notebook for Caroline, and...

"What are these?" She took out two... cufflinks from the box?The shape of the water lord's emblem, with round water droplets and a few waves, made of mithril, with a lustrous and translucent milky white gemstone inlaid in the middle.

Virgil smiled and said, "Don't you remember what day it is? She asked me to bring you a coming-of-age gift."

Great joy hit her like a sound wave, her ears rang for a while, and Theron said in a daze, "...I don't remember..."

"You are an adult, I think she has told you everything she should say. Adults must be responsible for their actions, adults must pay attention to their words and deeds, adults must... be able to carry out their wishes, um ?”

Theron pursed his lips, looked at Virgil, and suddenly burst into tears.Virgil handed her a handkerchief and said gently: "Adults also need to know how to control their emotions. What we call control is the kind that is very strict...don't let others see it, huh?"

Theron thought of the man far away in the center of the desert, and said to himself: Can emotions really be controlled?

But she also knew that her desire to indulge herself thinking about Hipper was so strong that she didn't want to control it.

But there are many other people in the room.

She smiled and said, "Will you visit her? Thank her for me, I... I have to study for the exam in summer vacation, maybe..."

Virgil heaved a long sigh, his eyes flashed mischievously, as if he wanted to say something joking, but he looked around at a few unknown people, and without saying anything, he took back the handkerchief from Theron's hand, He exaggeratedly said: "Ah, this handkerchief is stained with fairy tears! I should sell it, and it will fetch a good price in Starsong Castle! Goodbye!"

After Virgil left, everyone gathered around, and Luna said loudly, "Your birthday! Why didn't you say it!"

Even Svis said: "Why don't Caroline and I know your birthday!"

"Ah..." Theron lowered his head in embarrassment, "I don't even remember it myself, because it's not my birthday."

Her so-called "birthday" was the first day Virgil brought her into the Tower, which was set as her birthday, the beginning of her eighth birthday.However, before she came to school, she had no concept of dates and years. There were no spring, summer, autumn and winter in the tower, so that her memories had nothing to do with dates, but only with Hipper.

Maybe it's the same reason that living alone makes the sense of time blurred. The archmage doesn't give her a birthday, and they don't celebrate her development day, New Year's Day, or any holiday. Every day is only the difference between weekdays and weekends.

"Who is the person who gave you the gift?" Luna still couldn't help asking.

Theron smiled, and then quickly let go of this somewhat difficult expression, for fear that tears would fall due to some external interference.

"'teacher'."

"Isn't that great!" Luna's heart was already getting excited, and her eyes were shining eagerly, "Why do you look sad? Don't cry! Let's celebrate, how about going out for dinner!"

Theron smiled and nodded, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's just too unexpected, I didn't expect her to remember."

But she remembered the privileges she had lost as an adult that the Archmage had repeatedly emphasized to her: hugs and kisses, and other intimate touches that she had once loved so much.

As if this pair of very beautiful and bright cufflinks was a warning letter from her, warning her: this kind of distance communication is very inappropriate for adults.

From a large-scale point of view, Fort Starsong is to the west of Aymecortes, and with the help of Dvořák, Virgil usually goes directly to the edge of the desert, and quickly crosses the entire desert after some preparations.

As long as there are pegasus...

There was another storm in the desert, and although there was no great danger to him as long as he was careful, a storm was always uncomfortable.The sky of the desert, the face of the Archmage.It took him three days and three nights to cross the desert, and the storm lasted for three days and three nights. When he arrived at Aymecortes, he saw the archmage, and he had no doubt that the storm was caused by her gloomy mood. .

"What's the matter, old friend? Your face is as cloudy as the weather! Has anyone offended you without eyes?"

Hipper took a sip of the milk tea, and the hot drink made her face look a little better, probably to the extent that it changed from blue-white marble to milky-white marble. "I think I'm in a state of calm, the fact that no one offends me, and I'm not unhappy."

"Oh, your peaceful state is so gloomy that it makes people hopeless," he somehow thought of the metaphor he had made earlier - the gloomy old mage watched from afar from the tower of loneliness in the depths of the desert. The little apprentice surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd was jealous and heartbroken, ah, I really sympathized with her.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at his old friend tenderly, "It's a pity, Theron is very famous at school."

"Of course," the Archmage said calmly, but underneath it was a hint of pride that couldn't be concealed. "After a precious gem is born, its radiant light will surely grab everyone's attention."

"She has countless fans at school, surrounded by flowers and gifts every day, and receives more love letters than you write to her."

"Virgil," said the Archmage gracefully putting down her glass, her hair still cropped, but long enough for her to flirt with her own to unwittingly glamorize, "I have to say, I don't write her many letters. Moreover, even though I have been away from the 'mortal world' for so long, I still have some fanatical believers. I heard that young people fought for my honor. Although I am not very proud of it, anyway," she shrugged, "I There are still followers. Don't try to provoke me with this."

Virgil came to his senses, "Who told you this?"

"It turned out to be one of the officers of the Selong Kron Student Union, a member of the Starchaser family, who once wanted to pursue me, do you remember?"

Virgil laughed loudly, "What kind of young man? What background?"

"He didn't say it, and I don't know." Hipper didn't want to talk too much to the person who posted it, so he didn't ask at all.Yet despite his apparent calm, Virgil's attitude annoyed her quite a bit, as if she was lying.

Virgil was so happy, if it wasn't for Theron, please don't tell Hipper about the school, he will tell all the things now, let this lonely old mage have a good time, and by the way, this annoying The storm disperses.This unshared story made him feel bad all over, and all he wanted now was donkey ears to listen to his hollow tree.
