"This is the private garden of the Anjou royal family. Although the flowers are beautiful, they always fade. Although I like flowers just like other girls, what I value more is not the beauty on the surface."
A black and golden vortex appeared beside her, and she gently pulled Shade and walked through the portal with him.
After a little sense of imbalance, the whistling cold wind immediately made Xia De shiver suddenly. The cold wind blew past his face like a blade, and the surroundings under the starry sky were covered with silver. If it weren't for the blessing of the god of winter, at this moment
He may be deeply trapped in the snow under his feet.
Subconsciously hugged Sylvia in his arms, and then Xia De realized that the two of them had passed through the portal and seemed to have come to a snow mountain.
On the snow-capped mountains without air pollution and city lights, the stars and moonlight are so conspicuous. Looking around, it seems that the slope of the snow-capped mountains is the same as that of the "Silver Mountains", because Xia De once had adventures in a more dangerous place like the "Silver Mountains", so he thought
I had to find a sheltered place to hide, but I was stopped by Sylvia:
"Let's keep going up, the destination is not far away."
She looked around for nostalgia:
"We should actually have a stone staircase under our feet. Unfortunately, no one has taken care of it for many years and has been completely buried in the snow. Let's go, keep going up, Xia De, will arrive soon."
"Where is this? Have we reached the far north?"
Xia De pulled out his coat from his pocket and put it on Sylvia's shoulders, still protecting her in his arms.
The witch did not break free from Xia De's arms, but just gave a soft answer:
"It's not the extreme north, it's the southeastern end of the old continent, on the largest island of the "Falcon Bay" where the Principality of Lagson is located - Fatumonster Island. This name means "Sea Weaver". This place is legendary
The harbor is made by the stars falling from the sky, and after the stars fall, it forms the island where we are.
The second largest city in the Principality - Fatumonster City, located at the southern end of this island. Most of the residents of the island made a living by fishing and sea trade before the steam era, but now it is the whole old
The most well-known watchmaking industry gathering place in mainland China. Handmade watchmakers and high-end pocket watches and clock brands are all gathered here. Handicraftsmen have replaced traditional fishing industries and become the economic pillar here."
She leaned in Xia De's arms and climbed up with him in the wind and snow:
"The city is in the south of this snow-capped mountain, and we are on the east side of the Fatumonster Snow-capped mountain on the island."
"I remember that the Principality of Lagson was also the seat of the Society of Prophets."
Shade said, Sylvia looked up and looked up:
"Yes, but the association's headquarters is not on the island, but on the coast on the west side of the Bay of Flying Stars, which is the largest city in the Principality of Lagson - the city of the divination family, Lomari, but in recent years there have been
People call it the 'hometown of Rhodes'. If we don't discuss this, we're here."
Climbing up the snow slope, they did not directly climb to the top of the snow mountain, but came to the ridge of the snow mountain.
It looked empty and nothing, but as Shade approached Sylvia with Sylvia's spell cast, a black tower covered with ice and snow appeared in the rippling ripples.
It stands in the wind and snow under the moon, with a height of five floors. The first floor of the tower was almost flooded with snow, and even the location of the tower gate could not be seen.
“There is a factor response.”
Xia De whispered, Sylvia nodded slightly:
"Yes, this is a witch's tower. Modern ring warlocks have no habit of building high towers as their own research base. This tower was left to me by my teacher.
After the teacher passed away due to an accident, I lived in Virondell for a long time and rarely came back, but occasionally I would relax when I was in a bad mood. I just crossed half of the old continent from Virondell and arrived directly on the portal because
The teacher left me a shortcut, otherwise my eleventh level would not be enough to do this.”
Xiade summoned the flames and melted the snow at the gate of the tower. After Sylvia opened the door and invited Xiade to enter, the lights inside the tower automatically lit up, and it was as warm as No. 6, St. Terran Square.
This reminded Xia De of the "Moon Viewing Tower" in the academy he visited at the end of last month. Both towers are the institutes and strongholds of sorcerers.
From the outside, the tower standing on the snow-capped mountains seemed to have been abandoned for many years, but in fact, it still looked quite well maintained inside. Shade was doubtful about Sylvia's claim that "it's rarely come here."
It is still good to be able to escape from the wind and snow outside.
"Although there are space rituals left by generations of great witches here to ensure that no one can climb directly, I still disguised the outside for insurance."
Sylvia explained, taking off the coat that Xia De was wearing on her and shook the snow, and then helped Xia De take off her coat:
"The tower is maintained at the most suitable temperature all year round, and it doesn't have to be worn as thick as it is. This is the most valuable property left to me by the teacher. Come with me, Xiade, let's go to the top of the tower."
She casts a spell to help Xiade clean up the traces of the bottom of her boots, then opens the portal on the wall, and goes directly to the top of the tower from the first floor.
The Big Witch of Space does not study astrology, so there is no astrology equipment on the top of the tower. Since the portal walked out, Xia De saw a large library with a thick red carpet on the ground, this floor
There are no windows, the brown and yellow old and elegant wooden bookshelf is close to the wall, and it is placed on four floors, while the movable staircase used to climb bookshelf is scattered throughout the tower.
A blackboard filled with various mathematical symbols and rituals is placed everywhere on the carpet, and the center of this floor is a square table spliced with four huge long tables.
There were some scattered books and materials on the desktop, and it seemed that Sylvia was the only one who used it.
"When the teacher was still here, we would discuss problems and exchange ideas with each other. In fact, most of the library's books have nothing to do with mystics, but are books in philosophy, mathematics and natural sciences.
After the teacher passed away, I never invited anyone else to come here. Even Margaret only knew that I had a laboratory outside of Virondale, but she didn't know that the tower was far away in Lagerson.
Principality.”
She smiled and looked up at the library with Xia De:
"The experiment of chemical synthetic fiber was successful in this tower. If the teacher is still there, he will definitely be proud of me."
The construction of this tower was far ahead of the steam revolution, so the lighting fixtures were not gas lamps, but luminous crystals and a small number of candlesticks floating in the air after being enchanted. The warm light illuminated the beautiful black-haired girl.
Her golden eyes seemed to be glowing with their face.
"This place is really good. The witch who built this place first chose such a remote place. I was worried that someone would disturb you?"
"Yes, and we use the power of space. Even if we live on the top of the snow-capped mountain, we don't have to worry about the inconvenience of life. The ancestors who built this place wanted to spend more of their time on research and study. This tower
It has been passed down from generation to generation, but in my generation, the space-based witch is really weak.
Even if I want to imitate my ancestors, I will spend most of my life here, and I don’t have enough wealth and material foundation to support me. Look, I don’t even have many followers now. That’s why I became a princess at Virondell
The tutor, this tower that was always inhabited by people has also faded.”
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
"It's not a loss. Isn't it still being used by you?"
Xia De turned to look at her:
"And look at the knowledge and power you showed me just now. If you really keep studying here alone, you may not have such achievements.
I'm worried that with your personality, if you live here all the time, you will become a kind of girl with a cold personality, that's not good."
"Yes, yes, Shade, you know me very well."
She sighed and turned around and hugged Xia De:
"I have been very proud since I was in my teens and thought I would never find someone as smart as me anymore. Later, I met Margaret and met more people. This idea did not disappear,
It becomes even stronger until I meet you.
Tonight, it wasn't me who gave you a surprise, it was you who gave me a surprise. I originally planned that as long as you could arrive at the blackboard of the greenhouse before midnight and solve my last problem, even if you pass, you will be half of it.
It's useless for hours."
The witch paused for two seconds, staring at him:
"Xiade, your way of doing this will only make me like you more."
Xia De asked with a smile:
"Isn't that better? I rarely say such things, but when I see the wisdom you show, I also feel like you more. The charm of this wisdom is not the same as the charm of the appearance, but it really attracts me more.
.”
"That's why I think we are the people who are really similar."
She continued to hold a hug posture and looked up at Xia De slightly. His shadow was all in her golden eyes:
"But I just lied, but Margaret won't come to us tonight."
Xia De actually guessed it just now:
"So you also used the 'Bottle of Unboundary' to trap her, right?"
Sylvia smiled and shook her head:
"It's not so troublesome to deal with that girl. I put the 'Sleeping Curse' on the paper she found. She would be hit if she just opened it and checked it. But I also arranged for the maid to send her back to the bedroom in advance. Now, Ma
Gret should have fallen asleep at Cold Spring Palace.”
“It’s very rude.”
Sylvia continued to look at him:
"I know what happened to you and Galina."
Then don't give Xia De time to react to this new topic:
"I also know that the matter between you and Megan, Audrey sisters, and Vanessa's promotion to the thirteenth level is also related to this, right?"
