Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Hipper suspected that the reason for this sentence was her expression, and touched her face in doubt.But she didn't delay much, and went downstairs into the library - it looked much cleaner here - into the depths.

The stone portal survived yesterday's storm. When she approached, the runes glowed bright blue one after another. The stone ring revealed a faint scene from the other side. She stepped into the portal, and the world was spinning , When he came out, he almost couldn't stand still, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Hector held her up just in time.

"Ma'am, you didn't have a good rest last night, do you want to take a rest first?"

"No, I'll take a break while I'm filling out the form." She waved her hand, went to the counter at the door to get a form, filled it out, handed it in, got back a sign, and walked to the room full of portals , after being led through the portal by a special person, she arrived at Setralo.

The feeling of dizziness made her have the urge to vomit. The magic of space folds the mysterious space, so that the distance between thousands of miles away is only as thin as a piece of paper, but the tidal force in the middle fluctuates very violently, which also makes people lose the sense of space. Worse, it is quite hard work to go through the portal without a relatively strong body. Some mages are dizzy with the portal, and they would rather not go far or choose a much slower (and cheaper) method.

Using a portal requires a considerable amount of energy, and the distance is actually limited. Basically, the farther the portal is, the less accurate it is. The manufacturing process of the portal is also very complicated, and there are relatively few users of space spells. The reason for being too high.

But she still has to go to the destination of this party through the portal of Setralo: Selongkron, Emerson's mage tower.

Her water lord advised her: "You can rest for a while, or walk there, it's not far anyway."

The archmage still wanted to force herself, but her mana was almost overdrawn last night, and she is still in a weak state, her stomach feels nauseated, and she is about to vomit out the lunch she ate, and her eyes turn black from time to time, These symptoms reminded her not to force herself, otherwise she would do something disgraceful in public.

Hipper had no choice but to walk. As Hektra said, Selon Kron was not far from here. The archmage sat on a son of the earth and moved forward at a speed not much faster than walking.

Hektra is the person who can best monitor the status of the archmage's mana. Last night, for a while, it could hardly maintain its form in the human world—because in fact, this spell consumes a lot of the mana of the contracting party—but now it doesn't have this feeling .

That's okay, otherwise it doesn't know who to blame, is it to blame the reckless Archmage himself, or to blame the little beast that caused all these strange behaviors?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Hipper arrived at the gate of Selongkron. Almost no one would walk this road. This path is full, but the sons of the soil are not afraid of these. Their thick bodies directly crush the thatch, and Hippo sits on the shoulders of the sons of the soil, and he can just see this furry "sea".

The lock-picking spell was useless. The Mage Tower was protected by powerful traps. It would be impolite to forcibly dismantle them, so it touched the spell-blessed stele downstairs.After a long time, someone came down and opened the door for her.It was Diego. It seemed that he had arrived a long time ago. He was probably here to take charge of the preparations.

Then she saw the teacher. Her two senior sisters got into the library early and sat at the table where they used to sit. One was writing and the other was reading a book. The four legs under the table were hooked together. , the eyes on the table met secretly, exchanging some things that others could not understand.

Now she suddenly understood what they were exchanging.

Mutual admiration, silent love.

Enviable.

She subconsciously avoided this scene. When everyone saw her, they gathered around to ask her recent situation. The topic naturally turned to the recent research work and the gossip and gossip of the researchers. This finally made Hipper feel better. She I don't like being asked about my personal life, but it's okay to talk about other people's, anyway, that's how everyone chats.

She regained a bit of the old feeling. In the past, on weekends, there would be a day when everyone would not do their homework, and they would talk about strange things all afternoon, but Theron would pop up from time to time amidst these ups and downs. .

What made the archmage break out in cold sweat was the realization that she had been like this before.

Think of one thing, any one thing, think of Theron, and think of the connection between them.Or think of a thing, and by some reasoning, think of Theron.

At 05:30, the butler came to inform everyone that it was time to eat.Very simple vanilla lemon steak, and everyone didn't stop saying bad things about the enemy during the meal.

Emerson's students were treated in a difficult way because of the teacher's mixed reputation in the academic world. This incident once caused Hipper to be framed by others, but after Diego and Benson entered the guild management, things like this have changed a lot. better.Unlike the magnanimous Diego, Benson had a lot of nasty gossip in private.

"For example, that annoying Saussurean, he got his son to teach in Xingge Castle, Hipper, don't you hate him?"

A confused look appeared on Hipper's face: "Sautherland? That...an idiot who failed the logic and rhetoric exam eight times? It's not like I hate him, why should I hate him?"

"He has a lot of bad things behind your back."

"There are too many people who are jealous of me. I can't hate them one by one." Hipper said honestly.

Benson's delicate lips spat out very surprising words: "I know that he has not checked for plagiarism in one of his papers."

"It's not surprising," Sashara said.

Beatrice held her shoulders all the time, eating snacks happily, took a bite and then stuffed it to Sasha, "Sasha, don't focus on irrelevant idiots, you give it back The kid has been a tutor, right? Don’t you think he’s particularly stupid?”

"Okay, okay, just look at you, right? Didn't you mess up after only teaching four lessons?" She held Beatrice's head between her hands and coaxed her like a child.

After dinner, everyone chatted in twos and threes in the living room, humans, water lords, and three footstools.After night fell, instead of cooling down, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.Hipper fled to the terrace alone with a glass of wine, quietly watching the room through the expensive glass.

This distance is just right, and I don't like to get too close to people. Hipper often uses this distance to get along with everyone, separated by something, but not too far away.

Ge Fang noticed her clothes, put down the cup in his hand and chased after her, "Are you okay, dear Hipper?" The worried elder brother said worriedly, "You don't look very well today, you Do you need to sit down for a while?"

Hipper shook his head.

"You seem a little distracted, what is affecting your concentration?"

Hippo hesitated, she had no intention of revealing her thoughts to anyone, but Diego's unique ability to reveal her mind, Hippo was now shaken, her gray eyes looked at this reliable man at a loss. seniors and elder brothers.

"Oh... I'm not sure I should tell you this, it's kind of hard to describe, Diego."

Diego smiled gently, "I guess it's not some academic problem, is it? Otherwise, you would have shared it with everyone at the dinner table."

Hipper shook her head, "No, you're right."

"So it must be about Theron?"

Hipper's eyes widened in surprise, "How do you know?"

"What kind of thing bothers you? Perhaps you can tell me."

"I..." She bit her lower lip, staring at the books on the table, trying to make her words sound less surprising, "Uh... a while ago, I sent her to Starsong Castle— — at your discretion. I can't keep her at home all the time."

"Yes, children like to go out and play, and you'll kill her if you keep her in Aymecortes. Fifteen and sixteen is naughty time."

"But she is very good and obedient."

"What? I heard from Virgil that she caused floods and storms in Aymecortes. I thought you would send her away after you finally couldn't stand her!"

Hipper shook her head. "No, it's not. My decision was just, only my inability to teach her Old Cynian and history. And... er... because..."

"Ok?"

"She is always distracting me in my study, but I can't be distracted, I need to focus."

"Well, that sounds reasonable, kids are such a distraction," Diego nodded in agreement.But Hipper didn't mean that. Her original meaning was much deeper and more complicated. "Oh, didn't you give her a study? I mean, maybe you both need some alone space."

"She, uh, I can't, I can't keep her out of my sight," Hipper looked up. "You know what I mean?"

Hipper's gaze was burning, which made Diego feel a little weirdness in his heart, but considering that Hipper was a weirdo and had no experience in raising children, he still comforted and said: "I think I can probably You have to keep watching these destructive creatures, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble they will cause!" He thought of the two children at home, and immediately felt sympathy for Hipper in his heart, "Lilian and I Everyone is too busy, even if there are servants, the little ones will run amok relying on their own magic, only parents can let them be a little more peaceful. Oh my god, you are so old and you need to be alone It's an unimaginable chore to take care of a child..."

"Diego, I'm... almost 40 years old." Hipper reminded kindly.

"...Oh!" Diego looked so surprised that he jumped back a step, "You look about the same as when you just walked out of here."
