Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Virgil shrugged his shoulders, frowned and said: "In my impression, when I was this old, I should be more accepting of those childish refraining words?"

Hipper thought for a while, and replied with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I don't think I can say it. Besides, I think it's good. She and I both accept such an agreement. She has already made three promises to me. , since she is now my student, it is necessary for me to write down these guarantees."

"Have you really decided? I mean, I'm still helping you communicate with those buyers..."

"It's decided, I'm an archmage, how can I have no students?"

"Based on your name, there will be a lot of rich people trying to come to your mage tower to do odd jobs, and soon the downstairs guest rooms will not be enough."

"Virgil, one student with outstanding talent is enough. I may not be in the mood to teach another one." She led Theron, and Theron followed Tius, and the four went downstairs to the sand outside the tower, After picking up the furniture and gizmos that hit the wind barrier and scattered nearby, Tius turned back into a magic wolf. Virgil helped him saddle it himself and let him carry his things upstairs.Apparently a lot of stuff inside had been damaged and had to be put in storage for disposal.

Before dinner, Hipper summoned Elvis, and the Fire Lord yelled as soon as he came out. It was dimmed a lot, but the flames above his head burned the stone beams on it red, and Hektra gave him A dark cloud, at least let his temperature drop a little.

"Ma'am, this is the second time I've been swept away this year! I'm a cook! Not a firework! If this happens again, I'm going to strike!"

"Elvis, I'm so sorry, have you rested yet?"

The banishment technique would bring the elemental lord back to the elemental interface, but it was blown away directly. The frenzied wind did a lot of damage to it, and it was almost blown out.

"I can finish cooking and go back to sleep, I haven't returned to normal temperature yet."

Hipper lowered her head, but Theron seemed to have learned her lesson. She first apologized to Elvis, and the flames all over the fire lord, who was already a bit shy, shot up all of a sudden, and then were extinguished by the dark clouds.

It said viciously: "Little lady, I hope you will be grateful when you eat the meal I cooked in the future!"

"I will, it's delicious, thank you."

The fire lord was furious again, turned around twice, returned to the fireplace and refused to come out.

The living room was finally tidied up. Although the table was full of marks from sharp knives, it was still a complete table. Because Chef Firelord sometimes needed to serve dishes, the table had to be made of stone. One of the reasons it wasn't blown away.

Virgil sat at the other end of the table as usual, raised his voice slightly and said, "You know, old friend, your paper."

"Which one?"

"It's the one that pissed off the old men in the tower," Hipper thought Virgil was talking about the most recent one about mithril circles and crystals.Virgil took a bite, nodded and said, "The blacksmiths' guild regards it as a treasure. Some people are already trying to make more complicated magic circles. It turns out that the good rate of absorbing crystals is so low."

Hipper smiled a little, "But I guess they are not so easy to mass-produce. After all, crystal is a big business, and crystal merchants don't want to depreciate the crystal in their hands."

Virgil said: "Maybe the crystal merchant is in the tower, and he will do everything possible to prevent you from publishing related papers."

Hipper was taken aback, "I haven't thought about this... Virgil, your thinking is very dangerous. The old man in the tower is already well-fed, so why take such a risk?"

Virgil snorted: "Not everyone wants as much as you do."

"I am not wanting nothing. While pursuing a good life, I am also pursuing academic breakthroughs."

"Oh," he waved his hand, "Come on, my lord, the archmage, not everyone has the same noble pursuits as you. Money, beauty, and fame are what everyone wants."

The archmage spread his hands, "After all, we just casually slandered and slandered after dinner."

Virgil wiped his mouth, "I just want to tell you not to be discouraged. We all know that you are always right. Even if there are technical mistakes, there will be no mistakes in the general direction."

The archmage raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Thank you, Virgil."

"You're welcome, you're very polite. Oh! I almost forgot the most important thing, I brought all the letters from Qianhu City for you." He found these letters from a pocket in his pocket, smoothed them out Wrinkled place, then hand it to Hipper.

"A lot. Did you read it for me?"

"Don't be kidding, how could I read your letter?"

Hipper rubbed his forehead wearily, "I guess most of them are written by colleagues from all over the world to scold me. I really don't want to read it myself."

"Hey," Virgil softened his voice, "remember what I just said? You are always right, even if there are some technical mistakes. I know you are right with the brain of my half-baked magic apprentice. of."

"Thank you, I won't take these things too seriously."

Virgil looked at Theron beside her, and said, "Actually, I have one more small request, can you allow me to stay in your lovely living room today? Since the little beast is already your student, I should also have a good relationship with her."

Hipper didn't quite understand, and blinked.

Virgil said: "Since you have an apprentice, most of the work of writing scrolls will be taken over by her in the future. I don't want to cut off my own livelihood."

Hipper laughed, not expecting Virgil to have considered so far.But he had a good point, and Hipper agreed, "If you don't mind that my sofa is all broken."

The sofa was originally made of cloth, but it was cut to pieces in today's disaster. Hektra used the largest sewing needles to sew them together like a dissected corpse, and now he can barely sit on it.

"Of course I don't mind, I just want to find a popular place to stay."

"Then would you mind reading the letter for me?"

"Ok."

After the meal, Hektra took away the tableware, Virgil and Hipper sat on the sofa, Theron and Hektra sat on the patched plush carpet, and set down the plate of four dishes that both of them liked very much. chess.

"The first is from Starsong Castle, Maryland Starsong. Maryland is yours..."

"My brother's classmate."

"Are you one of us?" Virgil opened the envelope, "The wording doesn't sound like one of your own... Ms. Maryland thinks that you should carefully consider your future path so as not to deviate from the mainstream society. It means that you are entrusted by your whole family .”

Hipper snorted, "There is no mainstream in academia."
