Blooming Tower of the West Wind

"I'm fine, cutie."

The cotton pad rubbed against the corners of her eyes again, and then got soaked a little. Theron was a little surprised, and quickly wiped away the tears himself.

At this moment, the sound of leather shoes appeared resoundingly, and the archmage stepped steadily from far to near, "Theron? Are you there?"

"Teacher! I'm here, what's wrong?"

"It's time to eat."

Hearing the word eat, Tius rushed out with a groan, rolled on the ground, and then got up immediately.With nothing in his arms, Theron also jumped off the window sill.

Hipper looked at her from the top of the stairs, and held out a hand to her. She ran over quickly, and carefully held the slender but strong hand. Hipper held her tightly, and when she walked the last step gave her a hand.

After dinner, Theron washed the dishes near the sink, while Hipper sat on the sofa and read a book. After the hourglass turned six rounds, the archmage performed a certain amount of exercise according to the plan, and sent Theron to bed at 10:30 sleep.

The lights in the living room were quickly dimmed and extinguished without magical support, leaving only the Firelord Chef sleeping in the hearth, glowing a dim red glow.

Its bright light was activated suddenly, the flames started up again, and burned straight out of the chimney, Elvis woke up startled, turned around, its fire light illuminated the figure in the dark night.

"Madam...Little lady? Why are you awake? Can't you sleep? Let me warm up the milk for you." It was about to open the freezer as it spoke, and when it opened a crack, it heard the Son of Frost inside say: "Damn it! Why do you have to come in at night!"

"Little lady wants milk."

"Take it out! Don't bother me!"

A milky white ball flew out, and Elvis hurried to "catch it"—using the vaporized high-temperature flame as a cantilever to control the spherical liquid, the high temperature directly vaporized the surface, and then fell directly into the cup.

It put the cup on the bar in front of it, and Theron sat in front of a high stool, took the milk cup, and took a sip.Chef Firelord's roasted milk has a special flavor, Theron likes it very much, but she is obviously absent-minded, and Elvis' lava body is across the bar - a safe distance between Firelord and people - asking: " Do you have something on your mind? If you want to say something, I will not relay it to my master, so don't worry."

"I... I don't have anything..."

"Hey—don't be like this, don't say this in front of me," the fire lord's whole body flickered, "You humans like to play with food when you have something on your mind, tell me, although I can't help you, but I I can listen to you."

Theron hurriedly "put back" the milk into the glass, the water splashed so much that part of it splashed outside, "Really? Won't you tell others?"

"I won't talk about other elements. My mouth is the most reliable in the whole family." The magma on its mouth suddenly melted, connecting the chin and palate together.

"Uh……"

"It's about His Excellency the Archmage."

"right……"

"The homework she assigned stumped you?"

"Not really homework... I um... I actually like the elements."

"We like you too."

Theron smiled shyly, "So I think... I want to be able to summon my water lord as soon as possible, you know, I want... I want to be like my teacher."

"Oh, great idea."

"But she...she won't teach me the spell to summon the Water Lord."

"Oh...this is really abnormal. You know, I have known Your Excellency the Archmage for a long time. She...she knows everything about you and can talk endlessly. It is rare to see her have such patience."

"really?"

"I swear by The Complete Family Tree of Wess."

Theron laughed, the warm orange light illuminating her smiling face, "What's that? Is it a family tree?"

"No, no, it's our family's research on human recipes. You know, we can't taste food, so we can only keep experimenting with humans."

"Oh, that sounds really weighty."

"of course."

"But... um... Hipper, uh, the teacher, she didn't say anything this time, she didn't even provide any clues, she even said that I... said that my research was 'totally wrong', how could this be..."

The Fire Lord quietly threw a small piece of burning magma into the distance. After a while, there seemed to be a "sizzling" sound in the air, and the dog barked angrily, and then ran over patter.

Elvis gave it a "wink"—probably because there were some subtle surges in the gasified highlight——Tius stopped his screams, and lay down on Theron's lap.

Theron picked it up, and seemed to smell a faint burnt smell, but she fell into a delicate emotion, just stroking Tius's smooth cotton pad back and forth, and whispered: "But I... ...I...does she hate me?"

"Don't worry, my little lady, Your Excellency the Archmage may just want you to play with her."

"Play with her?"

The Fire Lord nodded seriously, "I heard you all in the kitchen. She is indeed such a person. She is very playful, but few people can play with her. She likes those puzzle-solving tricks, and she likes to be read by others." password, she pulls you to play with her, of course she values ​​what you mean, don't blame yourself too much, she really likes you."

Theron looked up, "Really?"

The fire lord blew out the flame on his finger, so that the magma solidified into gray, and he pushed the milk towards Theron with his hand, beckoning her to drink it.

Seeing that it didn't mean to continue, Theron took a sip of milk obediently, and the chef smiled slightly—it was the magma skull that cracked his jaw a little, "Of course."

Theron smiled shyly and took another sip of the milk. Tius turned his head to look at the cup on the table and kept staring.

"However, if you want to refuse this invitation to play—for example, if you think it is too difficult, you can keep asking her the answer, and she will tell you. I have observed her for a long time, and you can trust my judgment."

Theron had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked: "Then, will she be punished for that?"

"Punishment? No, no, it's far from it. She won't play with you at most. She always looks for someone to play with her, and then finds it doesn't work, so she stops playing. If you Turn her down, and she'll probably go back and write a few more papers. Oh, and there's nothing wrong with that, of course."

Theron didn't know what to say, so he just lowered his head and continued to sip his milk.

"Has anyone ever played with her?"

"I don't know." The fire lord wiped the table, and the milk that was spilled just now was completely vaporized, but it looked at the table seriously, "I came here after the mage tower was built, sir. I am not very clear about what happened before Your Excellency the Mage."

Theron raised his head, glanced at the fiery core of the Fire Lord, keenly noticed the contradiction, and asked: "You just said that you have observed her for a long time, isn't it in the past ten years?"

The fire lord's flame jumped, and there was a long silence, "That's right, I worked for her great-grandmother and observed her life from birth to eight years old. It's very interesting."

Theron lowered his head thoughtfully again.Seeing that everyone's attention was not on the milk, Tius boldly leaned over.

But Theron picked up the milk cup and took another slow sip.Tius was so disappointed that his fluffy ears drooped.

The fire lord walked around her, dispelling the cold that belonged to the night, and dispelling Theron's hesitation by the way.She raised her head and asked abruptly:

"Do you still remember how you were called to the 'human world'?"

"Human world" is a word that is not in harmony with the common language, but people usually don't know how to translate this word from ancient Seti language. For mages, this word means the real world except the element interface.

But like the ancient Seti language she and Hipper used to mix in their daily conversations, these elegant words were very harmonious from her mouth.The fire lord seemed to be lost in thought, and it took a while before he opened his mouth.

"If you want to get spells from the mouths of elemental creatures, you will probably be disappointed."

"Aren't you going to tell me, too?"

"No, because 'fire' and 'water' are quite different. Besides... er... I didn't ask the other companions, but as far as I am concerned, I have never heard any spells, Just sensing the call, I responded, and walked through the entire chasm in one fell swoop."

It can be seen that Theron is a little disappointed. She originally planned to ask Hektra tomorrow.

Chef Firelord saw her thoughts at a glance, and smiled lowly: "Hektra will definitely be given a password. But I suggest you ask, maybe the lady will leave you some clues there. "

"That's really great!" Theron smiled sincerely this time, his emerald green eyes slightly narrowed, and jumped off the chair, "I'll ask it tomorrow."

"Good luck, oh, don't you drink the rest?"

After hearing these words, Tius immediately revived, twisted slightly in Theron's arms, put his short feet on the table, and leaned towards the cup.

Theron held Tius and said in a low voice, "Tius, don't move, it will stain the cotton pad! You have to take a bath?"

Tius was obviously stunned for a moment, and Theron picked up the cup. Although he couldn't drink it a little bit, he managed to pour it all down into his stomach.

She put down the footstool, pushed the door briskly down the stairs, and returned to the bed. The haze was swept away, and the corners of her mouth could not be bent back properly even when she closed her eyes, so she didn't notice the fire in the living room shortly after she went downstairs. Inspired again.
