Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Theron opened another letter, "Dear Hipper, I have read your paper in general, and I have a hunch that it heralds a wider prospect, and has also given me a few new ideas. But Considering the criticism you may receive, I think I should express my opinion to you immediately in solidarity with you, instead of waiting patiently to perfect new ideas. Please keep your attention on this aspect. Both Sasha and I think your research The direction is generally correct. On this point, I believe that Mr. Emerson will maintain the same cognition as us. Famous people don’t have it.”

Hippo's expression didn't change much, but Theron keenly captured her abnormality - the experience of life and death made her very sensitive to human facial expressions - the archmage squinted his eyes halfway, and the eye sockets were slightly red , a colorless flame danced in her eyes, passed through the thin layer of mist above, and burned on Theron.

joy.

The archmage unconsciously held the round silver paperweight on the table, "This... who wrote this letter?"

Theron looked at the envelope, "Bea... Beatrice Windcaller, is this your friend?"

Hipper stared into her green eyes and said gently: "Yes, Beatrice is my senior sister."

"Senior Sister? What does Senior Sister mean?"

Hipper smiled and said: "Yeah, you won't have a senior sister. My teacher Emerson is also an elemental mage. He has seven students. I am the youngest one, and Beatrice and Sasha are the first." The fifth and the sixth, they are all female and therefore my senior sisters."

"I see," Theron got the answer, "so I will also become a senior sister?"

Hipper shook his head, "No, I don't plan to accept any more disciples, you will be the only one. Don't worry about this kind of problem, you have something more to worry about."

An unopened envelope flew out of the pile of envelopes on the table. Theron opened it, and there were three pieces of letter paper, all of which were very beautifully written. Theron read the first text message. The words and sentences were very simple, but to Very new to her.

"Your letter was very strange, so I asked Virgil privately without your permission. Please send my regards to Theron! I have an eight-year-old daughter and two sons, ten and five. I am old, so it is very appropriate for you to ask me about this matter. A list of enlightenment readings is attached to the letter. After my wife Lilian heard about this, she enthusiastically wrote a parenting notice of almost a thousand words. Matters, in order not to spoil her interest, I will also post the things she wrote to you. I am sorry that the journey is far away, and I cannot send you the package. Children are gifts from God, and the same is true for adopted daughters. I wish you Parenting is going well."

After Theron finished reading, there were countless question marks on his head. Hipper stood up from the desk, went to her side, picked up the remaining two sheets of paper, and explained while reading it: "This is from Diego, Diego is my big brother, Mr. Emerson's first student. He is the only one of us who is married and has children. I asked him some questions about how to get along with such an old child. This is what he gave my reply."

Hipper was serious about keeping her.Theron was a little clearer on the matter, but she still wasn't sure if there was something that would cause Hipper to abandon her again.

She dared to shake Hipper's hand, and Hipper lowered her head and asked her, "What's the matter, do you have any new discoveries?"

Theron shook his head and said, "No, but I think Ms. Beatrice's letter supports my point." Hipper smiled, patted her head, and sat back in her seat, motioning for her to continue reading. letter.

However, Theron found that when she comforted Hipper again, the glow of joy in her eyes did not appear.Beatrice, she remembered the name, and wondered why the lady's brief letter made Hipper's eyes look so beautiful.

So many letters can be roughly divided into two categories, those who praise and those who despise. The supporters are pitifully small, and they all probably come from Hipper’s classmates, while the opponents are countless. Sent by Hipper to make flaming paper airplanes for Fire Lord Elwes, and she herself replied to all supporters herself, so Theron has no way of knowing what she wrote.

Such letters lasted intermittently for about three months. Theron always read those letters for her, watching Hipper's harsh lips spit out a few ironic words, the elemental king was not in a good mood, and beside her The wind element guarding her was the first to feel her mood, watching her show a negative and bored expression, and whispered in a low voice.

But no one knew how to comfort her, including Theron.She had some tricks she used to please her mother, but they didn't work for Hipper, and gradually, Theron found that she did well in spelling and grammar classes to make Hipper smile from the bottom of her heart.

For teaching, almost after Hipper impulsively invited Theron to be her student, she suddenly had new inspiration and ideas. Under Theron's watchful eye, she wrote down her new ideas in a brand new notebook. The student's, and perhaps the only student's, expectations are not too high: to become a qualified magic apprentice.

Including proficiency in common language, proficiency in logic and rhetoric, proficiency in mana control, proficiency in writing low-level spells, learning to identify various magic items, familiarity with ancient Seti and ancient Sinian, and other skills that apprentices must know.

Hector floated beside Hipper, and whispered, "Will this...will it be too difficult?"

Hipper was the first person among his peers to summon the water lord, so Hektra was the only big blue water polo among the students, which was particularly conspicuous among a group of little black mage robes, until Hipper graduated from junior school and entered After learning from the mage tower of mage Emerson, the number of water lords around it gradually increased.Hipper is unquestionably a genius, but that doesn't mean she has the right to demand genius standards from others.

"Is this...is it difficult?" Hipper blinked in confusion.

Hector would chat with other water lords occasionally, for example, the water lord who was Hipper’s homeroom teacher at the junior school. Children’s nature is to play, which means that they can’t concentrate on learning rhetoric, logic or Grammar is a boring and hard-to-fun category. Most children have to wait until they are 12 years old, that is, after graduating from junior school, to gradually learn these boring but very basic subjects consciously under the supervision of their parents.

But more people give up forever in this process, because they may not find any joy in it in their whole life.

The joy of thinking belongs to a few people, but Theron loves to play so much, the blue gentleman expressed great doubts about her concentration.The premature death of many geniuses can be foreseen from the very beginning: perseverance and self-control are the foundation of achievement, and talent will die on the way without hard work, just as Hipper's achievement is the result of hard work day after day flower of talent.

The water lord didn't express his worries directly. The archmage was in high spirits. Anyone who poured cold water on her would have no good results. She would definitely be stubborn until she realized her mistake.

"I wonder if the cycle you set for her is too short. Logic and rhetoric usually last until the last year of senior school."

"I can't stand other people's stupidity. She should learn how to talk rigorously and properly before she is 12 years old."

The water lord could only say: "Then you have to be fully prepared, after all, this is not an easy task."

Elementalist Hipper is a very beautiful woman, with a delicate face, tall and thin figure, and focused gray eyes that can light the fire in anyone's heart, but she is very cold most of the time.

During the period when Theron was just becoming an apprentice, she lived in the mage tower of the elemental mage Hipper. Hipper bought a powerful monster for one of her thesis. "Warcraft" was resold and sold, but she kept "Warcraft", and "Warcraft" lived in the mage's tower and became her apprentice.

Usually, only those with a good family background can afford to send their children to a famous mage as an apprentice, and only such families can afford the high tuition fees.Theron has nothing, but the tuition must be paid, so she can only offset the tuition by cleaning the mage tower every day.

There is only magic broom in the mage tower - a magic item that hates being touched by humans. It must not be touched by hand, otherwise they will get angry and wither. To make them sweep the floor obediently, you must chant the correct spell and try to control it A magical connection maintained by the wind element, like controlling a doll hanging from the hand with a silk thread.

The wind element is the first element that Theron calls, but she can only make them mess up and then explode. Facing the daily commotion in the mage's tower, the indifferent Hipper usually has only one sentence:

"Theron, clean up before going to bed."

The warmth she had once seemed to be just an illusion, even though she knew that for Theron, she would not be able to sweep a mage tower from morning to night, and often broke the stairs or shattered the room in the middle of the night because of the arousal of the elements.

The elemental creatures in the wilderness often sneaked into the tower to wander around at this time, and Theron had to find a way to drive them out.

Of course, she has almost never learned spells, at most she can only take out all the wind elements, ascend into a tornado and drive them out. The next day, Hipper has to use stone giants to repair the damaged exterior of the mage tower because of her troubles. wall.

The wind in the wilderness was blowing one night, and the morning light shone through the damaged walls. Theron woke up from an unfamiliar lethargy, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw her teacher walking slowly down from the top of the stairs.

The sound of leather shoes rattling echoed in the empty and cold space.

"Theron, it exploded again?" The stairs leading to the upstairs were blown off, and Hipper summoned a few stone men, who joined the damaged parts, and walked over.

As soon as Theron stood up, she grabbed her hand and hurriedly explained: "Teacher, I..."

"Didn't you go last night?"

"Yes……"

"That means you haven't slept, is it cold?"
