A night of wind and rain blew the Beijing peach blossoms full of trees on both sides of the street into pink buds, and the vibrant spring filled the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.The humid southeast trade winds brought the warm currents of the endless sea, as if overnight, the streets were devoid of heavy and dull winter clothes, young girls walked the streets, short skirts and plush stockings with a youthful atmosphere, this season, the people of the city of El need to wear thick cotton clothes and wool scarves, but in the imperial capital, a brightly colored sweater and a simple coat can go around the street.The magic caravan blended into the traffic on the street, and the Minotaur Ruka sat on the luggage rack of the parking space, his eyes with big copper bells were dizzying to look at the bustling street scene on both sides of the road.As the carriage moved quickly, Helena reached out and pushed open the glass window of the magic caravan, letting the fresh, cold air blow in from outside.Because there are still two very important classes in the afternoon, Ying Li has returned to the Elementary School of Magic, Becky chose to stay with her, Ying Li asked Helena to accompany me to the place where the Yerkes Scholar works is known as the Tower of Arrogance where the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Magic Guild is located, because I haven't seen her for too long, Su also wants to go with me, but unfortunately she is also lacking skills in the afternoon.Su and Helena sat opposite me, three years, let Su grow up completely, she sat quietly in the carriage, if you don't look at her delicate and beautiful face, but look at the more and more mature body, it will make me have a feeling that Sister Guoguo is sitting opposite me, the unique aura that she exudes up and down, it is like being carved out of a mold with Sister Guoguo.It can be said that Sue is the combination of Sister Guoguo and Annie, she has the perfect figure of Sister Guoguo's tall and slender golden ratio, but that face is as delicate as Annie, except that Annie has red hair, and Su is a blonde.Su has to follow the university scholar to learn the magic skills of the Divine Department every afternoon, and for the past three years, he has been rain or shine, and has never stopped, and every month, Su will follow the university scholar to learn the magic of the Divine Department.The monthly order number is to stay at the junior magic academy, and go through the magic books about the shadow department in the library.The scholar had told Su: Su was the most talented girl she had ever seen, and the divine magic power in Su's body was very pure, and if she could become a priest in the temple, Su had a great hope of growing into a great priest, but unfortunately Su was not interested in it, and even a little low."
Have you heard from Anne lately?"
I asked Sue.Sue nodded, then said to me, "Anne writes to me every month. ”"How's she doing in Strange Rock City?"
I asked again.Su thought for a moment before saying: "She followed her teacher to join the city guard of Qiyan City, and when she wrote last time, she said that she had become a second lieutenant officer, but she often went out to perform some special tasks, she told me that she lived a full life every day, she liked this life very much, and every day she would work hard to prove her existence." ”Sue probably didn't quite understand what Anne was after, and when she talked about Anne, her emotions were not high."
Jijia, you said that Annie is in Strange Rock City every day, fighting with the lizardmen in the wild swamp, I really don't understand what she is thinking!"
Su said to me angrily."
I guess I want to prove myself!"
I thought about it for a moment before I said."
You know Annie very well!"
Sue stared at me, then leaned in front of me and whispered to me.Helena on the side protested directly: "You two, please don't whisper in front of me, you have to take into account my feelings!"
”I smiled at Helena, and then asked Sue, "Has she come to the imperial capital to see you?"
”Su shook her head and said a little childishly: "She always says that she is busy, and she doesn't know what she is busy with every day!"
”Helena leaned on Sue's body, reached out to put her arm around Su's weak shoulder, and said to Su: "Of course, sisters also have sisters' affairs, and it is impossible to always be by your side."
Your sister Anne is many times better than my sisters, who either spend their days in the splendid castle learning the manners of the nobility, or go out to the balls held by the various high societies in the imperial capital, and live a life of poverty and luxury, and their souls and bodies will one day be completely rotten. ”Su got out of the car at the door of a large mansion, stood on the steps of the gate, and knocked on the door naturally with the hem of her long skirt, she was no longer the little girl who liked to be shy as before.Now she is standing on the steps, she is so confident, with a sweet smile on her face, and she does not forget to turn around and wave goodbye to us.The carriage drove slowly away from the gate of the mansion, and turned right at the corner of the street, and the whip in the coachman's hand was whipped on the horse's strands, and the neighing of the horses was heard, and the scenery on both sides of the windows rolled back rapidly.The Tower of Arrogance is located at the end of Yulin Street, is the landmark building of the fifth district of the imperial capital, the tall and magnificent tower top platform, supporting a huge magic pattern array, the circle exudes a rich magic halo, the abundant magic power condensed into a light blue halo and rushed straight into the sky, supporting a colorless and transparent magic cover in the sky above the imperial capital.There are a total of seven mage towers like this in the imperial capital, and there are seven regions in the imperial capital, each of which has its own unique landmark buildings, and there are huge magic pattern arrays at the top of these buildings, and these epic giant arrays condense a large amount of magical energy, rushing into the sky like a beam of light, protecting the entire imperial capital under the magic light shield.There are a total of seven districts in the imperial capital, each of which is almost not much smaller than Sloit City, such as the Grand Opera House in the third district, the gladiatorial arena in the seventh district, the temple in the first district, etc., at the highest point of these landmark buildings, there is a huge magic pattern array, which continuously transmits huge magical power to the sky and maintains the magic light shield above the imperial capital.The Imperial Capital's Magic Guild, Magic Research Institute, the Empire's largest magic materials trading market, the Alchemy Professionals' Association, the Magical Potions Guild, the Magician's Task Promulgation Hall, and many other famous large institutions are all distributed in the Tower of Pride, and I am going to report to the Magic Research Institute where the Yerkes Scholar is located today, I want to know what clues to repair the broken soul as soon as possible, and I don't know how much information the Yerkes Scholar has in this regard.This seven-storey mage tower is one of the few high-rise buildings in the imperial capital, the huge and majestic tower body is 100 meters high, the marble round tower body looks like a huge bird's nest from afar, standing under the tower of arrogance can feel how big this giant mage tower is, it is completely comparable to a mountain castle built by the mountain, standing in front of the tower of arrogance, if you don't see its true face from afar, it is difficult to imagine that it is a circular building, its arc-shaped exterior wall tends to be straight at all, I can't tell how big it is to make the curved walls look straight, but one thing is for sure, the Tower of Pride is as large as a circular city within a city.On the relief marble walls depicting various magical wars, a huge stone pillar with a diameter of more than five meters rises into the sky every fifty meters, and these columns are probably the main supporting pillars of the Tower of Pride.Helena led me and Ruka up the stone steps, and by this time we were already intimidated by the majesty of the Tower of Pride, and we were in no mood to laugh.At the door of the Tower of Pride, the three of us were stopped by two middle-aged magicians, the two mages in dark magic robes with emaciated faces, their eyes were very bright, they looked me up and down repeatedly, and kept groping on the magic badge on my chest, one of them was holding a round rod made of black graphite, sweeping my magic badge, and it took a long time to confirm my identity.The magician on the left side of the group opened his big terrible eyes and said softly to me, "Welcome to the Tower of Pride, young magician, every mage who comes to the Tower of Pride for the first time has experienced what you have experienced, you are a member of our Magic Guild, and you will have some unexpected privileges here. ”I smiled and said, "Can I go in then?"
”The magician stepped out of the way and said to me, "Please!"
”Ruka the Minotaur followed me honestly, his face a little pale, probably standing outside the Tower of Arrogance, stunned by the immense power of the Tower itself.Helena and I were the first to enter the huge gates of the Tower of Pride, and I looked at the huge vaulted cloisters of the majestic palace in front of me, and the ceiling above the dome depicted the sun, moon, stars, and Cloudsdale, and I asked Helena, "Have you been here before?"
”"Of course I've been here, but this place is too big, I can hardly remember where I came from, last time I accompanied Ying Li here to buy a few bottles of magic potions, the magic shop here is very complete, and the first floor here is the largest magic item trading market in the imperial capital."
Helena's face flushed slightly, her shy appearance always made my heart flutter, and she stood beside me, whispering to me the magnificent tower of arrogance.Walking into the hall on the first floor of the Tower of Pride, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge and wide circular corridor, on both sides of the corridor is a beautifully decorated magic shop, looking at the signboard at the door painted with various patterns, you can vaguely guess what is inside, these shops probably have a lot of similarities with those specialty stores in the previous life, they are almost specialized in dealing in some single goods.These magic shops piqued my curiosity, because they are all potions shops too, but the signs are very different.One shop had a sign with a magic herb on it, another had a test tube on it, and a bottle of potion on the back shop.I walked into the first magic potion shop, only to find that this magic medicine shop specializes in selling magic herbs, and there are very few varieties, and the owner of the shop introduced to me that the sign outside is painted with a Tranquility flower, which means that her shop mainly sells Tranquility flowers, and other herbs are also available, but there is not much inventory.Exploring the next potions shop, I learned that the test tube stands for the magic potion processing shop, which is a contract processing firm that can make magic potions of all grades, from beginner magic potion apprentices to magic potion masters, as long as you pay enough price, you can ask someone to refine potions according to your mood.The last potions shop had a bottle of potions on the signboard, and when I walked into the store, I was sure that what I had in mind was exactly right, that it was a magic potion shop.Finally, in a dazzling variety of shops, I saw a shop selling magic ink, I stopped in front of this shop, thinking that there was not much magic ink left on my body, so I walked in, not much time, I walked out of this magic shop, there were already a few more bottles of magic ink in the magic backpack.Later, in a post station specializing in helping people deliver news and supplies, I sent a whole box of my scrolls to the horses of El City, and the cost of thirty silver for the magic sealing box about a foot square was really outrageous.After doing all this, the three of us were able to bypass the first layer of the magic market.Passing through the second-floor magician task promulgation hall, a large number of magicians have really gathered in the hall, all in front of this large row of message boards, reading various magic tasks on the message board, there are a total of more than a dozen task promulgation halls on the second floor of the Tower of Pride, almost every hall has a lot of task information pasted, there are several registration desks on both sides of the hall, one side is responsible for registering and receiving tasks, and the other side is a place to hand in tasks and receive task rewards.The whole tower of arrogance is the most lively here.I don't have the heart to know the magic tasks on those message boards, but I secretly think in my heart that in the future, before hunting or training, I might as well go to the hall to find some suitable tasks, and take the suitable tasks to the field together, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.The third floor of the Tower of Pride is the area where the Magic Guild and Professional Guild are located, and I didn't stop there, but walked straight up the stone steps to the fourth floor.According to the description of the Yerkes scholars, the entire floor here is occupied by the Academy of Magic.Standing at the door and waiting for a long time, the scholar of Yerkes, wearing a purple magic robe, rushed out, saw me waiting at the door, and pulled me in directly.Then he saw that I was still followed by the minotaur Ruka and Helena, and couldn't help frowning, and then said to me with a little dissatisfaction: "Next time, you don't have to bring your orcs to follow, according to the regulations, orcs are forbidden to enter the research institute, if you can, next time you'd better not bring your servants over, now, you let him wait outside for a while, you are the first time to come to the research institute, even if you recognize the way first, there is no urgent task, he won't wait here for too long!"
