Platinum Throne

"I need an explanation from you."

Murphy was the first to rush over from the Platinum Tower.The conservative second in command spoke aggressively when facing Norma, staring Norma in the eyes, and his furious anger almost burned a hole out of Norma.

It was rare for Norma to turn her eyes away with a guilty conscience. She casually swiped her hand behind her and coughed lightly: "That's what you saw."

"That's it...that's it..." Murphy was shaking with anger, and he pointed at the mess in front of him, "What is this!!!"

"As you can see." Norma pursed her lips, and replied solemnly, "This is seeing the valley."

"..." Murphy's hand finally fell back to his forehead. After a while, he pulled down and wiped his face, his voice was trembling, "The mountains are almost flat, and the valleys are almost flat." ! Do you know how much criticism you have endured because of your... Platinum Tower?"

"If it wasn't for this incident, I'm afraid my mentor wouldn't have appeared in front of you."

A female voice suddenly interjected into the conversation between the two of them.Murphy's face changed, and Norma turned around. Behind her, Caroline's smiling face appeared in their eyes.It's just that this smile is not as usual, since it is elegant and amiable, although it is still a smile, it always has a sharp meaning.

Seems a little unhappy.

Norma thought belatedly.

"I know Norma's strength better than you!" Murphy fought back viciously, making no secret of his malice and contempt for Caroline.

Caroline's eyes darkened, and at this time Norma took off her glasses, she took a flannel cloth and carefully wiped off the dust on them, and replied in a steady and calm voice: "In that case, I will die too, Murphy."

Murphy choked back in one breath. He looked at Norma with distrust in his eyes.And Norma let him look at her, calm and fearless.Murphy glanced at Caroline again, and finally said with a frown: "You have to give me an explanation, you must know that the documents of the House of Representatives have already filled my office."

"..." Norma paused for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

The Platinum Tower implements the separation of administration and research, and the institutions responsible for all external administration are collectively called the House of Representatives. A long time ago, the House of Representatives did not have a clear faction. sound up.

Eva looked at this, then looked at that, suddenly laughed, and whispered to her old friend: "Even the Tower of Platinum is full of struggles. The lawless place, hehe, who are you talking about?"

Irene didn't answer, and Eva didn't speak either. She just expressed emotion and didn't expect an answer from her old friend.

And Norma narrowed her eyes suddenly, she glanced at Caroline, Caroline's hand firmly supported her elbow, and led her back.Facing Norma's gaze, the woman smiled just right: "My mentor, I feel the fluctuation of the teleportation array."

This is close to the original looking valley, but traces of elemental particles can already be found.The other spell operators also subconsciously became alert.The next moment, the teleportation array tore open the void, and a figure stepped out from inside.

This is a man in his sixties. His white hair is combed meticulously at the back of his head, and his temples are neatly trimmed.The same white beard is tightly and neatly attached to the upper lip.He has a pair of blue and wise eyes. Although he is very old, he does not look old.

This is Rudolf Walker, head of the House of the Platinum Tower.

Everyone took a step back and saluted Rudolph.Rudolph has a gentle face, polite and kind, but his actions are not humble, but with the majesty of a superior.Unlike the practitioners present, the clothes he wore were tightly cinched to the waist, which was a typical human uniform, proclaiming his status as a politician.

"Norma." Rudolph looked at Norma.

"...Mentor." Norma bent down towards Rudolph.

"You are now in a higher rank than me, so you don't need to call me a mentor." Rudolph stroked his mustache and replied with a smile.Still, he didn't back away or deny Norma's words.

After Norma saluted, she stood up straight.Rudolph looked around, circled around with his hands behind his back, and shook his head: "In this way, even I have to give an explanation to the parliament and the people sheltered by the Platinum Tower. Norma, what do you have to say? Want to talk?"

"Lord Speaker!" Murphy replied hurriedly, "Norma was jointly invited by the joint camp to investigate the accident of the elemental sea pipeline. As the most important project of the Platinum Tower and even the main material world, even if it is..."

Rudolph raised his hand, and Murphy closed his mouth.Rudolph turned to look at Norma: "What about you? What's your answer?"

Norma pressed her chest and saluted Rudolph again: "Elemental insulation is not an absolute elemental insulation. I put forward a related theory 30 years ago. Now it has been finally confirmed."

Rudolph raised his eyebrows, and Caroline added: "I can prove it. I..."

And Norma took the lead: "I will explain the relevant matters in the report."

Caroline raised her eyebrows and felt a sharp gaze on her. She raised her head and saw Rudolph's meaningful eyes when he looked at her.But soon, the most powerful person in the Platinum Tower withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention to Caroline.

"So, how should I explain to other people?" Rudolph looked at his disciple, although his voice was gentle, but the meaning inside was like a wild beast, eager to tear off Norma's body at any time. Here comes a piece of meat.

"For the establishment of the channel of the Sea of ​​Elements." Norma rubbed her temples and looked up at Rudolph, "Is this a good reason? The node design of the Sea of ​​Elements pipeline construction may be slightly adjusted. The specific location needs to be adjusted." Field observation. But seeing that the valley is already like this...it just gives us a pioneering observation and measurement site. I will call people from my students, and all the data"

Speaking of this, Norma paused, her brows were slightly knit together, but soon relaxed: "I will hand over all the data to the Platinum Tower Council."

That means the project is no longer exclusive to Norma.If the other mages of the Platinum Tower deduce Norma's intentions and ideas from the data, they can even run alone without Norma.

The people present were all good people, Murphy's face changed, he looked at Norma, then at the smiling Rudolph, and closed his opened mouth again.

"Norma Hill," Rudolph said, clasping his hands on his chest, looking amiable, "come with me."

After speaking, Rudolph raised his hand, and the fingertips flashed with light. It was a phenomenon caused by excessive accumulation of elements and could be observed with the naked eye.As he pulled down, a gap slowly opened in the void.This move is actually not uncommon, especially in this era of abundant elements.However, the expressions of the practitioners present changed slightly.

This is around the Sightseeing Valley. Although the Sightseeing Valley is gone, the characteristics here still exist. In other words, the elements here are unstable and difficult to control through conventional methods.But Rudolph's hand was so light, and he also gave other people, especially those who were not in the Platinum Tower, a warning.

Norma's expression remained unchanged, and she followed behind Rudolph.After a flash, accompanied by a slight dizziness.The two of them were already standing firmly under the Platinum Tower.Thor's car roared and flashed through the pipes, and fine lightning particles floated in the sky.This is the numb scene that Norma had seen a long time ago. She withdrew her eyes indifferently, but saw Rudolph staring at the debris with his hands behind his back, his eyes nostalgic, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Norma didn't speak, she was usually very quiet.

After a while, Rudolph withdrew his gaze, and there was still nostalgia in his gaze towards Norma, which made him look more and more amiable, more and more like a father: "Norma, you know I don't Need your research data."

"..." Norma said quietly, "But your House needs it. Everyone wants this data."

"Do you know why?" Rudolph asked.

Norma shook her head: "I really... don't know very well, I know they all want this data, and they can also establish pipelines if they want. But they don't have this ability, and they don't have this control. Even the most Ordinary people also know that swords cannot be placed in the hands of children, but unfortunately, they don't understand this truth."

Rudolph smiled: "Many of them are much better than ordinary people."

Norma raised her head slightly: "Of course, I..." She wanted to say my mentor, but at that moment, it seemed that the woman's soft voice sounded in her ears, which made her suddenly feel that this word was full of indescribable Elegant and lingering.Norma didn't want to share this sentence with others, so she took it back decisively, "Mentor, I admit that they are very good. But professional things should be handed over to more professional people."

Rudolph nodded: "Then, why would you think of using this as an exchange?"

Norma looked at Rudolph in surprise: "In exchange, of course you have to choose what the other party thinks is meaningful, not what you think is meaningful."

"Pure logical thinking." Rudolph replied, he raised his head again and looked at the Platinum Tower.This huge monster has stood here for a long time, older than everyone.But generation after generation of practitioners have continued to add new vitality to it.Finally, Rudolph said: "Just do what you want. But you have to know one thing. Norma Hill, you are free. You can do what you want within the limits of the Platinum Tower Anything, without having to think about anyone or anything else."

"You are our future and hope."

Norma lowered her eyes, and she bent over to salute Rudolph: "I see, mentor."
