Blooming Tower of the West Wind

The difference is that during this intimate collision, Theron felt that he could no longer feel that... that kind of intimacy that he could feel every time before, and was replaced by the quickness of "rushing for time".

However, at this moment, Hipper suddenly got very close, her lips were almost pressed against her chin, and she looked up at her slightly, a rich breath rushed towards her face, and the blurred pale flames danced, so that she said What, Theron didn't hear clearly for a moment.

"... Theron?"

Theron shook his head dumbly.

Hipper sighed: "This is the last step, behave well, and I will send you a badge that symbolizes the status of a mage later. You just need to stand for a while and listen to the Secretary-General's speech. Then we will go to the ground, All right, let's go."

... Are you in such a hurry?

Theron has always had a feeling of ignorance about this ceremony, which may be due to Hipper's own indifference to it. If the "ceremony" makes Theron feel a little bit of anticipation, it must be that Hipper himself participated in it for the sake.

Just like the graduation ceremony last time, her seniors were so excited that they celebrated the end of their school career all day long, and played outside with their classmates until late at night. For Theron, this ceremony was nothing but "Hipper" May come to see me", there is no hope at all.

It was the same this time, she was mixed in the crowd, and she was ranked first on the stage in the auditorium. She was unique among the handsome and lively young people, and the people next to her were very excited. She was completely out of the situation, except for following the crowd, she could only stare at Hipper blankly.

Hipper was talking to some people, not looking at her.

Suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, and she turned her head to see that it was a classmate she was reviewing with in Withered Leaf City.

"Theron! I knew I'd run into you! I'm so happy to see you graduate!" She shook Theron's hand violently.

This enthusiasm made Theron a little overwhelmed, and asked strangely: "It's nice to see you too, but... what's wrong?"

"Oh, oh, nothing, I bet you to graduate this year."

Theron asked in a daze: "How much money have you bet?"

"Two hundred!" The quasi-mage held her hand sincerely, "I should have bet more, but it's too late now, anyway, congratulations on graduation!"

Before Theron could say anything, the host dismissed them.In the entire continent, less than 4000 people graduate from high-level schools every year, and only 100 people can become official mages every year. Coming for his apprentice, Theron kept trying to catch Hipper. Fortunately, this respected old mage sat in the corner of the VIP seat, sitting with Emerson, and the two were talking in a low voice.

She had imagined that Hipper would have a little reluctance for her, but now her fantasy was completely shattered by the beaming expression of the old mage.Rituals were carried out one by one, but none of them could interrupt the process of her grief, not even the badge of the mage was issued to her.

The chairman who awarded her the badge moved away, and Theron went to look for Hipper again. Fortunately, Hipper was looking at her at this time, and she didn't feel completely abandoned.

When Hipper looked at her, a smile formed on his face, his eyes were curved, and there was a deep hollow at the corner of his mouth.

People around her slowly left the podium, it must have been because of something the host said, even the audience started to get up and leave.

Probably because it's over.

Hipper also stood up and extended her hand to her. Her smile was very beautiful and cute. Theron walked over slowly and lowered his head to adjust his expression.

She didn't want to make a mournful face of being thrown away, and it was completely foreseeable what would happen if she stayed in the tower. She still clearly remembered what happened when she was in school, and she didn't want to go through it again.

More importantly, she didn't want to be seen as a crying child by Hipper, and she didn't want her to spoil the fun...but she wanted to be like her and always maintain her demeanor.

"Theron, I did what I promised, and you are now truly free."

"Teacher." She smiled, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. As you wish, I am now an official mage, and I think I can't wait to start my new career. Now shall we go? ?”

Hipper's expression seemed to be taken aback, frowning with a "scrutiny" expression, her beautiful silver-gray eyes were contained in the eye sockets, showing an unusual deterrence.

But it didn't last long, the stare was fleeting, and then she immediately returned to her usual gentle and polite look, "Yes, congratulations, let's go."

The auction house is next to the mage guild, and the well-dressed waiters received them. In a small room that can see the auction hall downstairs, there are various auction albums, one of which reads "Land use ".

Hipper picked up the album and flipped through it twice, and asked Theron, "Where do you want it? Near Dead Leaf City?"

Theron deliberately said: "No, no, I think I should choose a place farther away. After I went to school, I realized that going to more places would be beneficial for observation and thinking. Withered Leaf City is too familiar."

Hipper looked up at her, her eyes widened slightly, appearing innocent and childish, but it was impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"Don't want the city of withered leaves? That's okay, the land near the city of withered leaves is not very good." She showed the album to Theron, "There is a mine next to this, it may be very noisy, or there may be bad Related people are here to bother you. And I don’t know if you’ve been to this area, Old Joe said that there was a mudslide this summer, which ruined the beautiful scenery here, okay, I won’t choose these two places.” She turned to the next page.

"It's a pity. I think this land is very good. This is the mountain opposite Old Qiao's house. There are peach trees all over it. Do you remember? We said we would go and see it."

Her eyes moved from the atlas to Theron's face.

Theron lowered his eyelids, nodded, and said, "I remember, um..."

"Then pull it out." Hipper casually pulled out the card, put it on the table, and then turned his gaze back to the album. "This piece is not bad, but it's a pity that it's close to the city. Would you like to live in the city?"

"Uh... did mages really build towers in the city?"

"Originally there was none, but urban expansion will include many old towers. Want to buy an old tower? There may be ghosts."

"Really, really?"

Hipper glanced at her again, pursed his lips, and said relaxedly: "There are even liches, so what are ghosts? It's just not common. Hmm... this old tower on the outskirts of Robery is under auction. , fully furnished. Huh? It’s not expensive either.”

Robbery City is about fifty miles north of Dead Leaf City, and it is also within the range of Dead Leaf City in terms of teleportation distance.

Hipper showed her the scenery on the tower, and all she saw was the urban landscape, with a cemetery next to it and low urban houses in front. Half of the whole tower was hidden in the lush woods, which looked very low-key and hidden, very Fit for a reclusive mage.

Before Theron had time to respond, Hipper said, "I don't like it very much. If you like it, just take it out and put it aside." She put the book aside, "What about Table Mountain? I don't think you will like it." Yes." She simply flipped over the option of Table Mountain City.

Theron still hadn't had time to react, but Hipper was right, she always had an unspeakable fear of Table Mountain.

"And I think it's better to be closer to some magical capitals, but Blue Star City is too far... In this case, Setralo and Starsong Castle are both good, huh?"

"Yes, that's right."

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door, and Hipper signaled him to come in. The waiter in white gloves and black dress whispered, "It's almost the hour, and there will be four pieces of land near Setralo to be auctioned later." , please decide as soon as possible."

Just as he was speaking, an auction started in the small auction hall downstairs.

The sign was written on the notice board downstairs. After turning to those pages, Hipper said: "The density of mage towers in Setralo is the highest in the whole continent, and some families even own several connected lands. A manor with towers, would you like to be neighbors with everyone?" She spread out a page of maps, this one is a panoramic view of the land, there are several towers in the field of vision, and the visual distance does not exceed ten miles.

She thought about the scene and thought it was funny, and Hipper laughed outright.

Hipper had already turned to the next page, "It's a ghost tower." She arbitrarily named the old tower that had been used "Ghost Tower", as if ghosts would definitely appear.

"No...I still want a new one."

"Then you like this?" She handed this picture under Theron's eyes. This is a boundary mountain on the edge of a forest, with a lake halfway up the mountain. The original plot looks like this, surrounded by six boundary markers .

"Yes...it's not bad."

Hipper looked into her eyes, as if observing how interested she was, but to be honest, Theron was not interested in all of this, and pretending to be very interested was just a puff.

"You really think it's good?" She wrote something on a white sign next to her and held it up to the window.A faint voice came from below, "It's the first time in two thousand."

"...No, I'm not very satisfied." Theron secretly expressed shock at the old mage's action, and then dropped his shoulders to express his disapproval.

"It's okay, let's keep watching." The voice from downstairs raised the price a little more, but Hipper didn't continue to increase the price.

The land prices near here are very high. If Hipper said before that two thousand gold coins can buy half a tower, any piece of land around Setralo can buy more than one tower.
