Blooming Tower of the West Wind

"Bad weather... Long time no see, old man!"

Pegasus Pegasus walked into the low room below the mage's tower by himself. Virgil took off his soaked cloak and threw it on the ground. The blue gentleman who greeted him snapped his fingers, and many people appeared on the ground. Knee-high water droplets, they caught Virgil's cloak, and passed through it as if they couldn't catch it.

The gentleman water lord picked up the cloak on the ground and hung it on the hanger for him.Virgil himself walked all the way, the sewage running from his boots, leaving many dirty marks on the wooden floor.The water droplets squirmed over, followed his footprints and jumped to his side. Soon the water droplets became dirty, and the azure gentleman snapped his fingers again, and they disappeared out of thin air.

Virgil threw the bow and quiver aside, spread them out on the sofa, stretched out his long limbs, and watched the blue gentleman tidy up everything in a leisurely manner.

Finally, the water lord pointed to the box on the ground and said, "Mr. Virgil, is this?"

Virgil curled his lips and smiled, "Hipper wants it."

The water element held the box and lifted the black cloth covering it. What he saw surprised him: "Is this a child?"

There was a sudden sound of footsteps on the stairs behind them. Virgil turned around and saw a serious woman in a black robe walking down the steps.

Her black robe was almost dragged to the ground, her black leather shoes were faintly visible as she walked, her lips were tightly pursed, and her expression was serious and steady, as if she had never smiled, which made others dare not speculate on her age.Her long pale blond hair was neatly coiled on her head, not a single strand was out of whack, and her strange gray eyes looked at Virgil impassively, only nodding in greeting when he looked over.

"Virgil, long time no see."

"Hipper! Long time no see, old friend. Don't you have any fun recently?"

Hipper shook her head, "There's nothing to be happy about until you come."

Virgil would never misunderstand this sentence. In fact, his action this time was entirely commissioned by Hipper.

"Yes, yes, you will definitely be happy this time, A-level monster, I guarantee you will be satisfied." Virgil pointed to the cage in the hands of the water element, and now the black cloth covering it was lifted, and the little girl was Waking up under the light of artificial light, she seemed confused about where she was, and after seeing Virgil, she tried to curl herself into a ball.

Hipper looked at her for a moment, then looked at Virgil again, "You are desperate, so you came up with this way to get away with it?"

Virgil yelled, "Everyone of you can't believe it! She blew up the entire temple by herself! You should see, all the rocks have melted, and she can call out small earthquakes and wind blades at will. I used up all the scrolls that I sold to me last time, even the last one that saved my life, so I managed to capture her alive. As God testifies, I rated her as A-level just to save a few handling fees... "

"Okay Virgil," Hipper took out a buckskin bag from his sleeve and threw it on the table. "Gold coins are too troublesome. I took the gold bars. I hope you won't dislike them."

Flat gold bars emerged from the bag, and ten small gold bars were inside. Virgil counted them slowly, and then took out two parchments from his pocket.

"Our contract, come and sign."

The water element brought down a bottle of ink and two dip pens from the top of the chest of drawers next to it. After the two signed the parchment, Virgil opened another parchment and said, "This is the contract, she is yours." It's gone."

Hipper stretched out a white hand with well-proportioned bones, and took the scroll, and the scroll burned silently in her hand, the burning flame was pale, with a trace of vermilion in it, and the magic flame burned into her palm Gradually, the entire palm of her hand was swallowed by the pale magic flame, but she didn't seem to feel the pain, quietly waiting for the magic flame to burn out.

Her hand was unharmed, and there was a pool of ashes in her palm. She blew casually, and the ashes scattered into the air, and there were still some red things in her palm, as if she was holding a few silk threads, but when you looked closely, it looked like the palm of her hand. texture.

"Unless I die at her hands."

Virgil nodded, "Unless you die by her hands."

She turned her head and saw the big blue guy picking up the child, so she asked aloud, "Hektra, what are you doing?"

"Oh, ma'am, she stinks, I washed her."

An unusually large drop of water dripped from under the girl's feet. The water drop was not only cloudy, but also hard to describe what color it was. The drop dripped on the ground and spread into a puddle. Snapped his fingers and disappeared into the void.

"What a beautiful child," her slender fingers quickly drew a complicated pattern in the air, and the dirty cage suddenly glowed red and smoked, and burned to ashes from the inside.Hipper stood up, walked in front of the water element, and murmured, "Light as a feather."

Hektra let go of the girl, and the rune rope that bound her fell into Hipper's hands. She led the floating little guy up the steps.Virgil saw her lightly touch the glowing crystal on the armrest, touched it in the air, and cast a light mirror.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and the strong wind rolled sand and stones into the air, hitting the protective wind barrier rising outside the mage tower.

Virgil heard her say: "The weather is bad, why don't you stay for dinner?"

"It's only past noon, shall we go up to dinner?"

"No, come up and take a look at this A-level monster. Are you coming?"

Virgil hurried to follow.

As Virgil imagined, the girl seemed very interested in this place, whether it was the azure water element around her or the expressionless elemental archmage, she showed neither fear nor disgust.

"Hipper, what kind of creature is she? A half-elf? A humanoid dragon or something?"

Hipper's cold voice came from the front, "Half-elves must have pointed ears, and dragons also have a strong guttural voice when they speak in human form. They can't speak human language, you heard her guttural voice ?"

"No. So is it a half-orc? Or a half-blood of the Fallen?"

"Orcs and any species, if they can have children, the children must have golden eyes. Her eyes are green. Fallen demons and humans cannot have children."

"Ah, knowledgeable archmage, what kind of creature is she? Is it an elemental creature?"

"Well-informed witcher, why do you ask me?"
