Blooming Tower of the West Wind

A certain mysterious atmosphere burst like a bubble without a trace, and Hipper said: "Go on, I think we're only halfway there."

"Not yet, less than a quarter."

"It seems like I haven't traveled this far in a long time."

Theron stood up and stretched out his hand, "You should walk more, sometimes I think you are quite suitable to be a lich. If the transformation process is not so painful."

Hipper held her hand, felt the heat in her palm, forced himself to divert his attention and focus on what he wanted to say, "How?"

"Don't worry about your body, just focus on your work."

Hipper interjected, "Just care about my phylactery. No, I'm still attached to my physical body."

There is often a mage who uses forbidden spells to make himself a lich in order to focus on his career forever, so that he cannot be protected by the law. Immediately become the target of hunting by all parties.

Theron smiled and nodded, Hipper had enough reasons to be attached to his own body.A powerful mage can almost stay young forever because of his profound magic power. With five senses in his body, he can enjoy the pleasures of the world to his heart's content. What's wrong with being a great mage?

Most importantly, Theron commented privately that Hipper was very beautiful.She often thinks that if she is Hipper, she may not have the chance to become a mage at all, and spends most of her day grooming herself and staring in the mirror.

They didn't walk fast, and they seldom talked. There were many animals by the lake. In addition to the common birds, deer and squirrels often appeared by the lake to drink water.Squirrels are not afraid of humans at all. When Hipper passed by, the squirrels sat on the side of the road and gnawed the pine cones in their hands. When Hipper stopped to look at him, he hid the pinecones behind his back.

"You're right. I haven't been out for a long time. I almost forgot that there are other creatures in the world besides elemental creatures and humanoid creatures. Maybe I should disguise myself as an adventurer and take a long journey."

"are you alone?"

"Otherwise, who else is there?" Hipper hoped that Theron would beg her to take her, just like she used to act like a baby when she was young, but unfortunately, the unicorn she once raised has returned to normal She looks more and more calm and demeanor like the king of the forest, so he probably won't act like a baby with her anymore.

Sure enough, Theron said, "Old fritters like Virgil."

Hipper laughed to hide his disappointment, "Virgil won't be a drag on me anymore. Even during our actual combat exam, he kept blaming me for delaying his search for a girl."

Theron also laughed, a man and a woman travel, most of them are regarded as lovers, with such a beautiful female companion, the girl who intends to provoke Virgil will retreat in spite of difficulties.

"Actually... of course there is no problem with his actual combat exam?" Theron himself was exempted from the actual combat exam by accident, but he was actually very envious of this experience.

Hipper nodded, smiled and said, "It's a pity that the paper will never pass."

"But he has you..."

"I offered to write it for him, and he declined."

"Unbelievable. Virgil looks like that..." After Theron was captured by Virgil as a monster, he traveled with him for a while. Virgil is a person who has a shortcut and never takes the big road. It is unbelievable. He can't cheat for exams.

"I don't take his money, and he doesn't say yes," Hipper added.

"more……"

Hipper smiled, and she was always surprisingly gentle when talking about old friends, so that even though she knew that there was no other relationship between Virgil and Hipper, Theron still couldn't help being jealous.She also hopes that Hipper will show this look when she talks about her, so that people all over the world know that Theron is a very, very important person to Hipper.

"He is such a person, the bottom line is always drawn in strange places. Fortunately, he didn't become a mage, otherwise he would be suffocated. He often feels that he has taken a big detour. It would be nice if he became a hunter from the beginning."

How about that, if Virgil didn't have the background of a mage apprentice, he wouldn't be able to become a witcher, he wouldn't just be able to catch Theron, and she wouldn't just be sent to Hipper's hands.

"You don't seem to agree with what I'm saying," Hipper asked.

"I think he must have gained many other things during his apprenticeship, such as getting to know you."

She glanced back at Hipper, only to see those gray eyes falling on her as well.The eyes of the two met for a brief moment, and then they reluctantly went to other places.

Hipper smiled where Theron couldn't see.She likes the way Theron compliments her obliquely, even if it's fake, anyway, where Theron doesn't know, she can indulge in how her students carefully want to win her favor.

"Hmm, you got to know me. Then?"

"He has so many low-priced scrolls that he can use, and the saved money alone can build a mage tower."

"How about I ask him to give you a present, a footstool?"

Theron burst out laughing, "Is Tius okay?"

"I'm not here, and neither are you, it can get a little lonely."

"Oh, poor Tius, I kind of miss it."

"what about me?"

Theron failed to understand Hipper and looked back at her.But Hipper kept her head down, as if she was concentrating on the road under her feet.

"Do you miss me?" Hipper asked a little absent-mindedly, as if he was just looking for a sentence while concentrating on the road, so as not to let Theron be too boring by the side.

When you were not around, I thought about you all the time. When I saw you, I thought you were an illusion created by the 'wind' because of my thoughts.

Theron didn't dare to say that, thousands of words were lingering in her heart and she couldn't express it. It seemed that there were thousands of needles pricking her in the blood on her wrist, and the tingling almost flooded into her heart.

She also lowered her head, not wanting Hipper to see any of her thoughts, it's best to think that she was perfunctory, "I think, of course."

Then she must feel that there was some misunderstanding in that out-of-control kiss, not that I had any unreasonable thoughts about her.

Hipper hummed lightly, accepting her answer, "Then give me a footstool. I've been putting off telling him you've passed your defense, but even if he knew, he'd probably just cry bitterly."

Theron blinked, trying to forget the soreness in his heart, and reluctantly responded: "Really? He is so successful as a witcher, does he still care about the defense he didn't have before?"

"Of course I care. The dissertation defense is a scar on his heart for a lifetime. He told me personally that he would have nightmares every year during the defense season. He dreamed that he was standing on the podium and a group of old men with white beards were questioning him in the audience. He picked faults from his thesis word by word, he couldn't answer a single one, everyone was mocking him, and he burst into tears on the stage."

Theron herself has been questioned one by one by a group of old men with white beards, and she understands the feeling of almost torture-she has been questioned severely by Hipper before she answered, and the small questions left are still being grabbed and hunted down. For the long-term For the young people living in the mage's tower, this scene is enough to leave a lifetime of heartache.

Thinking of Virgil's majestic face that was so frightened that he was about to cry, Theron wanted to laugh more and more, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Hipper's mood can always be easily infected by Theron, seeing Theron laughing so happily, she couldn't help laughing too.

For a moment, Hipper regretted that he hadn't learned more from Virgil in the usual way of teasing little girls. Virgil could easily make any girl - except her - laugh non-stop. Back then.

However, she soon stopped laughing. The road was cut off in the middle, and the perfect lakeshore was destroyed. It was neatly cut off by the little stream under her feet. The bottom of the river was covered with big blue-gray rocks, The stone bank wound down to the end of the cliff, and she couldn't go around it.

"There is no way, how to go?"

Theron replied strangely: "Go on..."

She jumped directly and landed in the middle of a pile of rocks, looking extraordinarily light.Hipper glanced down after him, estimated that it was about ten feet high, and was sure that he would sprain his ankle in the jump.

Seeing that she hadn't come down for so long, Theron smiled and said, "Use 'light as a feather' to come down."

Hipper said, "No, I don't use spells, as I said."

She backed away nervously.

Theron comforted softly: "It's okay, you once me once, we just got even."

"No, I said I don't need it." She repeated unconsciously, as if trying to jump off, but unfortunately turned back several times without success.

Theron opened his arms, "I'll follow you, don't be afraid, it's not very high."

Hipper stared straight at her and asked warily, "Really?"

"Really, how could I let you fall?"

Hipper nodded, closed her eyes and rushed down.

She really didn't know much about landing skills, the impact of falling by herself was completely different from that of the slow fall technique, before her feet touched the ground, she fell into a soft embrace, and hit it firmly.Theron took two steps back before coming to a complete stop.

During this process, her once serious and reserved teacher kept hugging her tightly like a frightened rabbit, and after the two stopped, she didn't seem to want to come down.

That's great, isn't it?Theron boldly put his arms around her waist as she fell into his arms.Under the desolate river bed, they maintained a hugging posture.

Theron didn't dare to move, for fear of scaring away the rabbit in his arms.Hipper tightly wrapped her neck with one hand, her face was completely buried in her shoulder and neck, and the other hand wrapped around her shoulder, pressing on her back.

Part of Hipper's shock came from the rapid fall, and most of it came from Theron's active embrace.God, how about just casting a spell that stops time?But she also knew that the more time passed, the more strange it seemed. Theron would be more or less suspicious of such an abnormal teacher, but Theron would definitely hear the spell when he chanted it at such a close distance.She had no choice but to give up this idea, reluctantly let go, and said to Theron with a little apology: "There is no 'light as a feather', I am really not used to it...do you usually jump off like this?"

The author has something to say: We all hug each other, and the kisses won't be too far away!
