Blooming Tower of the West Wind

If she hadn't known Hipper and seen her for the first time today, she would have taken that as some sort of signal for love at first sight--it was all in those sloppy romances at Veronica's.

It would be great if she really thought so and did it like this, but she is Hipper...she is the archmage, always saying such words on her lips, and she is not stingy with praise, but praise is just a compliment...

Theron forced a smile and said, "Are you complimenting me?"

"Of course," the Archmage put down his pen and said relaxedly, "The thing I'm most worried about in my many years of teaching work is that some kind of careless behavior of mine will obliterate your traits. Now it seems that there is no such thing, which makes me Breathe a sigh of relief."

"Hmm...for example?" But she still likes to hear Hipper praise her, which means that she has at least one or two qualities that make Hipper look differently, "Why do you think there are none?"

Hipper didn't answer right away, the leaves in the courtyard rustled and rubbed, and the archmage's brisk eyes suddenly gathered and stared at her face.Her brows were slightly frowned, and there was a warm gleam in her gray eyes.

It was her familiar "scrutiny," which hadn't been on Hipper's face for a while.Theron's smile froze slightly, not sure what kind of expression he had caused Hipper's "scrutiny".

Am I the one who asked?Is my face revealing something?Is it her... see in my eyes the longing that I shouldn't have said...

The sharp pointing at her brow like a sword disappeared suddenly, Hipper smiled lightly and said, "A mage apprentice who follows the rules will not fly back from the west wind. We humans dare not even think about such a thing." She lowered her head She changed her head and continued the copying work at hand, but her body was leaning towards Theron, and she added softly in her ear: "Only a beast would do this."

Knowing that Hipper didn't mean this, she still couldn't help thinking that this was all a hint of admiration. The smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be suppressed, and the fleeting fear just now was forgotten by her.

Even the speed of writing is much faster.

It was time for lunch soon, and Hipper put away the toolbox, put the book back, and led her out to eat.The food of Modanlu is mainly fermented and spicy. Hipper said that this is because Modanlu used to be an immigrant city mainly composed of miners, and the miners needed to work in the mine for a long time, and the food they carried with them Requires stamina and refreshment.After she finished speaking, she poked the grilled pork rice piled high with sesame seeds, scallions, minced garlic, chopped onion, crushed peppercorns and pepper on the plate in front of her, and said to Theron: "If you are not used to this kind of food, , then I will borrow the kitchen from the hotel and let Elvis cook for you. But their kitchen is probably not suitable for Elvis."

"No!" She pressed Hipper's hand, and quickly let go, "I think we should try more flavors, this taste is very good, very fragrant, I think it's okay." To show her sincerity, she ate it right away She took a big mouthful, but she was immediately choked by the smell of pepper, but she was still eating a big mouthful. Whether she coughed or sneezed, it was unavoidable to be unsightly. He swallowed the food whole, took the handkerchief from somewhere and put it over his mouth, and finally sneezed out.

Too embarrassing, she thought with a sigh of relief.

Hipper smiled on the other side, and while handing her a water glass, said to her in a low voice: "If you are not used to eating, don't force it. Return the handkerchief to me."

The top was dirty, and Theron shyly put it away and said, "Wash it and return it. If you don't mind it, you can use mine."

She handed in her clean handkerchief. After thinking about it, Hipper suddenly smiled and put it in her pocket.Theron glanced at it, blushed and lowered his head, took a sip of water, and focused on his portion of the meal.

The Archmage's handkerchief has been kept in the inner pocket of the jacket, and she needs to unbutton the collar of the coat to take it out. Now her neckline is open, and Theron's handkerchief is placed close to her chest.

It should smell good when you bring it back, right?

Copying is indeed a particularly boring job. There were at least ten times in the afternoon that Theron cried out that she didn't want to do it, but with Hipper by her side, she had to give up the idea seven times.

Hipper is always very serious, and writes at a moderate speed. Every time Theron sneaks a peek at her, she always maintains the same expression and writes at a constant speed.

It's just...it's really close. Theron is distracted and can't help leaning towards her. However, when she really sticks to her, Hipper seems to be unintentional, leaving a distance between the two of them. .

After many times, Hipper finally found out that something was wrong. Her sharp eyes seemed to cast aside layers of camouflage and stared at Theron, but in the end she just smiled and asked: "Why, can't you sit still? Get up and move around, sit for a while." It's not good for your health in the afternoon."

Theron stood up, and she also stood up, walked to the window and looked at the courtyard below, and said to Theron who followed behind: "I used to stay here when Virgil went around the city talking about business and running errands to fool little girls. "

"Has it always been just you and Virgil?" It can be said that there have been no scandals, which can be said to be commendable.

"Well... Later we often called Sasha, because she was also short of money, and occasionally Diego would participate."

Now Theron felt relieved, "Will Sashara also be short of money? Didn't she write a lot of hits..."

Hipper smiled and said, "Most of her money was spent on buying gifts for Beatrice, really most of it. An apprentice's annual stipend is 130 gold coins, which includes buying books, clothes, tuition and Other daily expenses, but the gifts she buys for Beatrice are often five hundred gold coins."

"Why on earth did she want to... Is it because they are... falling in love?"

Hipper smiled and said: "Beatrice has no concept of money. She will give Sasara a copy if she thinks it is good, but Sasara will feel that she owes a debt of favor, so she must find a chance to pay it back. For those who don't It’s really a heavy burden for someone with money.”

"So Sasha took the risk and joined you..."

"Murder and overtake?"

"Uh..." Theron didn't dare to say yes, but most of the missions at level A and above were about killing people and stealing goods.

Hipper laughed happily, "Let's go back early, today is the first day, you have to figure out these 'books', don't you?"

Theron had to agree.She got a library card here, lent the book, and they returned to the hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Outside the suite was a small living room. Hipper snatched the seat by the window, took out two books from the suitcase and put them next to her. On the right hand side was a small side table, except for the one that Theron had just helped her Besides the milk tea she made, there was also a piece of paper and a pen, which she used to take notes.

Theron couldn't help asking, "Why go to the library when we can borrow books?"

"Are you going to copy here? Where do you sit?"

There is only a set of sofas and a tea table in the living room, and there is a pretentious small writing desk, but it is full of various advertisements and decorations, not to mention providing a place for two people to sit side by side and unfold all the tools. .

Theron choked, and sat down in front of the small desk full of decorations, opened the book and prepared to take notes.Hipper stood up, and Theron's attention was on her.

The old mage slowly swayed back and forth, the book was suspended in front of her, and she seemed to be reading it seriously, but she maintained this state, walked to Theron's table, raised a ball of light for her, and took her away. Some extra things (including a potted plant) in front of him were placed on the empty coffee table.

Theron's face was immediately refreshed, but Hipper had already sat back in his seat with the book.

This book is called "Precious Metals and Alchemy". The first article introduces the rock-steady quality of precious metals and how this quality is related to their becoming precious metals. ", and then introduced several potions that can dissolve rock-solid precious metals. As for the potions, Theron didn't know any of them.

"What does this mean? I've been wondering since just now... 'sharp'? Or 'sour'?"

"'acid'."

"What about this one? Why do 'copper-sulfur' and 'copper-halogen' use different adjective roots?"

Hipper took down the book, and there were several water balloons floating in front of him, one big one surrounded by several small ones.

The empty book stayed for a long time because of the magic pressure. The archmage pointed to the number in front and said: "Alchemists believe that metals are composed of a single basic 'element', and it is difficult for a rock-solid precious metal to lose its 'guard'. Chapter 1 There's been a mention of this concept, and while base metal tends to lose 'Guards', some tend to lose one, some lose two."

A small ball in the water polo in front of her started to drift away.

"Acid is a substance with a strong ability to snatch 'guards'. Sometimes it can snatch one and replace one of the 'guards', and sometimes it can snatch two." Another fireball floated in front of her, and the fireball After eating one of the water polo, it replaced it to defend the water polo, but obviously their overall shape has changed.

Theron nodded half-understanding.

"Sulfuric acid and halogen acid have different snatching abilities, so the adjective affixes for forming new substances are also different."

"...I think I should get an introduction to alchemy."

Hipper smiled and said: "The reason why alchemy is regarded as a deceiving trick by the mainstream academic circle is because there is no book that can explain these basic principles clearly, but getting started with alchemy will help you understand what you think is a bible." s things."
