Platinum Throne

Caroline was sitting next to the mine, and there was a large blueprint in front of her, which was full of various magic lines, and ordinary people would feel dizzy even just looking at it.Caroline, on the other hand, stared at them intently, with a concentrated expression, and only occasionally, when her eyes slid over the silver light on her fingers, she would show a look of distraction.

"We don't have that much time." Kathy's voice came from behind Caroline.

Caroline didn't move, and only after a few breaths, she replied in a low voice: "I can't complete the magic pattern on this blueprint without the help of my mentor."

"But your mentor probably won't come back." Casey's voice seemed to have a slight smile, and she didn't seem to care about the fact that she couldn't complete the magic pattern.

"Then what you've been plotting for hundreds of years will come to naught." Caroline closed the blueprint with a swipe, turned around and looked up at Casey, with a sarcastic look on her face that was just like Casey's. With a smile, "Dear demigod, seeing success is in sight, I don't think you will give up just yet, will you?"

Casey narrowed her eyes slightly, and opened her palms. Those palms, which were much wider than ordinary humans, pinched Caroline's neck. She still had a smile on her face, but the corners of her eyes and lips were full of purity. Killing intent: "A mere human... Even without you, Bella Nelson will send a new one."

"Yes, but the mentor may not come." Caroline said, her green eyes sparkling, with a slight smile, "My respected demigod, I may have countless. But, Norma Hill, there is only one, and only one."

"She is the blood of that woman Nelson. She doesn't obey Nelson, but she is willing to obey you?" Casey raised her voice.

"Of course not." Caroline replied without hesitation, with a smile on her lips, "She doesn't have to obey, but she will come back here eventually. This is the path she will choose."

"Then we'll wait and see."

After the words fell, Norma's voice sounded: "What are you waiting for?"

Caroline felt the tension in her gurgling throat suddenly loosen.Her heart also relaxed, she turned her head to look at Norma standing there against the light, rushed over joyfully, stopped in time under the undisguised indifference in the other party's eyes, lifted the corner of her clothes, and looked at the Norma bowed: "Welcome back, my mentor."

"It's not coming back." Norma pointed out Caroline's rhetorical error.Then she raised her head and looked at Kathy who was looking at herself and Caroline with interest.The female orc snorted and said, "Are you here to kill me?"

Norma replied: "I don't want to put myself in a situation where I don't want to put myself in a situation where there are a lot of things that are miscalculated - not to mention that it involves my blood mother - so I checked a little bit. I think my previous Your judgment is wrong, there is a great probability that you are not trying to confront the Holy Empire..."

"Mentor" Caroline interrupted Norma just in time, and she smiled at Norma.Norma's eyes flicked over the ring on her finger, her expression flat.And Caroline was keenly aware of Norma's emotions, and her smile gradually dimmed.But soon, she smiled again, just like every time Norma saw each other before, with a little flirtatious and charming.

"My dear mentor, I think you will be interested in the magic pattern in my hand."

Casey clicked her tongue, she is the respected demigod, and Norma is the dear mentor.

Norma's eyes flickered, and she nodded to Caroline.Caroline hastily spread out the magic pattern map that she had collected before, and her fingers swept over Norma's fingertips intentionally or unintentionally.Only this time, the tips of Norma's ears were not red, and there was no embarrassment on her face.She concentrated on looking at the magic pattern in front of her, and didn't even react at all.It seems that the delicate beauty standing beside her is a plant or a stone.

Caroline lowered her eyes, and she stood there quietly, as if she was a shelf for displaying pictures.

Wait until Norma's eyes finally withdraw from the drawing.She glanced at Caroline, then at Casey, and nodded, "I see...but this matter has nothing to do with me."

"Of course it's related." Casey laughed, "I know what you're doing, so I can tell you too. The gods already know about the element pipeline."

"There will be no things on the mainland that the gods can't detect..." Norma nodded, and then paused for a moment, "But this matter has nothing to do with divinity or divine warfare."

"You think too highly of them." Casey laughed. "You may not care about the ants on the side of the road, and even occasionally marvel at the giants built by the ants. But if one day, these ants grow to be the same as you When you were high, would you still turn a blind eye to them?"

What Casey said made Norma feel strange.

Not long ago, she learned about the thoughts of ordinary people like Lida and Housman, and knew that they were only concerned about immediate interests and driven by the current food and clothing.And she suddenly knew the thoughts of the gods, knowing that they were always on guard against everything, even the slightest sign that might threaten her.

For a moment, she even felt unworthy of humans like Lida and Housman.Lida and Housman are not noble, their hands are stained with blood, they hunt foreigners as slaves, they clearly know the miserable lives of these slaves, but they will still do all these despicable things.But on the other hand, they believe in the gods devoutly, and even think that the most vicious curse in this world is that they cannot enter the kingdom of God.They have compassion for their fellow men and are ready to lay down their lives for their fellow men and the Empire.

It is both despicable and noble.It's both pathetic and respectable.

But in the eyes of the gods they believe in, they are so light and weightless... unless they are enough to threaten the status of the gods.

Norma lowered her eyes, she nodded: "This is indeed closely related to me. But you are just a demigod."

That is to say, they are not qualified to really participate in the battle of the gods.

"Of course, I'm only a demigod."

There were other meanings in Kathy's words, she was a demigod, so what about others, those people standing behind Kathy?Norma subconsciously held her breath.Before that, she didn't feel, nor did she feel much that she was involved in the chess game between the gods.But now she suddenly has a clear understanding, and she has a vague glimpse of the hidden faces of those "people" behind the chess game.

Only by making the situation chaotic, can the plan that she has been thinking about for a long time be realized.

"Bella Nelson..." Norma whispered.She raised her eyes again, and Caroline looked away in embarrassment as if being burned by the other party's eyes.Then Norma nodded to Casey again, "Arrange a room for me, and besides, give me fifteen... half... no, an hour of private time. I need to discuss some private matters with my students. Then Let's discuss other matters."

Casey shrugged and spread his hands: "Of course, as you wish."

Then, Norma and Caroline returned to a room underground.This place is filled with the soft light of the magic spar, and the walls on all sides are cut off by the magic spar, preventing things like soil and tree roots that are likely to undergo some mutations.Norma looked around, then nodded: "I see, that's why Kathy wants this place." This is also the reason why Lida and Housman refused to give up this place.

Lida and Housman are for the huge benefits brought by the magic spar.As for Casey, it was just for the sake of being isolated from prying eyes, so that she could plan other things with peace of mind.

Norma looked up at Caroline who was standing quietly.This woman who is also one-sided in the Platinum Tower is standing in front of her at this moment, with her head bowed.The golden hair went around her slender and white neck and fell to the width of her chest.Her fingers unconsciously wrapped around the corner of her clothes, just like the little girl who had to stand in front of her to admit or apologize after making a mistake a long time ago.

"Yes, sorry, mentor." Caroline said softly.

"..." Norma was silent for a while, she still had time to reproduce the inexplicable feeling at this moment, and even her thoughts seemed to stop for a moment.She shook her head: "You have nothing to be sorry for me..."

"I..." Caroline said softly.

And Norma took a step forward, she was already very close to Caroline.Although countless times, countless close contacts have been made.But Caroline subconsciously held her breath.And Norma's finger pointed to Caroline's chest.Caroline felt a hard round object pressed against her, and belatedly realized it was her chest badge.The badge with the tower of platinum and a white star was a symbol of her magical rank and proof of her loyalty.

"Have you betrayed the Platinum Tower?" Norma's voice sounded in Caroline's ear.

"No, of course I...not." Caroline's voice was hurried, as if to prove something.

Norma quickly backed away, and the heat and temperature brought by the close distance also receded.Caroline could only take a deep breath, as if trying to restore a little bit of the other party's smell and existence.

"Then you didn't feel sorry for me." Norma chuckled softly, "Bella Nelson taught you very well."

This time, Caroline's expression finally became gloomy again.She looked at Norma, and Norma looked back at her. Suddenly, Caroline seemed to recall the first time she came to the Platinum Tower many years ago, and saw the mage who made her miss her again, but the other party That indifferent look when he looked at her.

Norma turned around. After she was done with emotion, she threw away all these things. Her mind was still full of magic lines.She knew at a glance that it was Bella Nelson's handwriting, but she still couldn't resist, because the handwriting of the magic pattern master has a fatal attraction for every spell operator.

But the corner of her clothes was pulled.

Norma turned her head, and she saw Caroline looking up at her with a charming smile.

"tutor."

A little coquettish sound leaked from those red lips, accompanied by the thin sound of the ring being taken off and thrown aside and bouncing.

"I miss you."

"And... I guess, you are also very 'hungry'."

Following the words, the distance between them was already very close, closer than when Norma approached Caroline before.
