"Mr. Eze!" Uriel rolled himself out of bed. He groaned, feeling exhausted.
"You seem to prefer the floor to mattresses and sheets. It's good for your waist, but not for frostbite. Mysterious creatures in the Sky Realm can save a life from the magic of the White Envoy. There are still few novices like you. It's better to get in touch with him. One day I will witness you buried with ice in the cemetery." Eze scolded in his usual tone, "It's lucky this time that you don't have any missing arms or legs."
"If it hadn't been for Bai, I might have been decapitated by the Paladin's sword." The apprentice got up and said.
"Captain Paladin," Eze repeated, "I assume you're not talking about Lemons Theodore?"
"I hope not, but fate always backfires." Uriel still feels like a dream. He didn't realize at the time how crazy he had done. After all, Joey suppressed the Moon-Shattering Altar and at the same time brought the Paladin to the throne. The long mentor bishop was frozen into a sculpture. His achievements were indeed nothing compared to them.
The apprentice didn't hide anything. He told the former bar owner everything.
"A whole city? It sounds like the White Envoy has also made a big noise... He is more exaggerated than you. Broken Moon is a god after all. It is obvious that the seal of the altar did not go smoothly, and he had to use more It takes powerful magic to control the situation. The little momentum you reveal is enough for you to defeat a newly promoted Sky Realm."
The druid didn't show any sign of stress or embarrassment as he asked about his old friend. "I heard the Paladins had a conflict with Caulder?"
"It's a gang." Uriel said, "They robbed the caravan escorted by the mercenary group, and they also used the name of the Paladin of the Parliament. As far as I know, the financial manager of Winnivas is in cahoots with them. Mr. Leier had a misunderstanding with the Holy Knights. But I can't guarantee the details——"
"I just want to know the outcome."
"The Holy Knights did not take advantage." This was his answer after careful consideration. "Mr. Reiler suffered some injuries, but Lord Delfion asked the doctor to heal him. The gang was also eradicated." I'm not telling lies.
Eds Haynes also showed no sign of worry or sadness.
"Okay." He stood up, "It looks like you can go out today. The tower is a real mysterious city, and it will welcome you." There was a novel small table beside the bed, and the Druid picked it up. The gloves on the table picked up the cane and opened the door, and the handle automatically twisted.
Uriel asked in shock: "Don't you ask me about the Broken Moon? York is also involved -"
"The Bai Zhizhi has already made a report. What's more, I'm not an employee of the tower. Why do I ask about those things?"
That's right, who cares about an apprentice's adventures? Unless I write it in a book. "Is he okay?" Uriel couldn't help but ask.
"Why don't you go and see for yourself? He is your mysterious mentor, not mine." Eze said angrily, "I don't want to become like you." The door slammed shut.
The room suddenly became quiet. He sat alone on the bed, feeling uncomfortable. This is Chloe, the Tower of the Sky, one of the seven fulcrums of the mysterious realm, the kingdom above the clouds. He knew that he would come here sooner or later, but even when he stepped into the Star Gap, he did not have such a clear understanding. He smelled the smell of fresh walnuts coming from the walls, which was far fresher than the small bar in Yotsuba City, but also colder.
A large pot of blooming myrtle was buried in the moist soil. It looked like Mr. Eads had just watered her. Outside the window, the clouds cover the fog, and the sun shines through the halo of branches, leaves, and dew, falling on the tassels of the dark blue carpet like a starry sky. Uriel was not very adaptable to such an environment. He couldn't help but think of Gaia's monastery in the outer world. At that time, he was awakened by the ringing of church bells every day, and the thick and long sound could shake his dreams.
Uriel suddenly didn't dare to look out the window.
But there was a crackling sound, and the apprentice was surprised to find that Myrtle fell to the ground, and the wet soil was stepped on by someone. And a man without a head got in from the window. He wiped the frozen mud from his shoes on the carpet, and the tassels and stars suddenly became miserable.
"Ezz said you wanted to see me," Joey told him.
"..." Actually, not at all now.
The messenger looked the same as when he was in the bar in Yotsuba City: he was fully equipped with leather armor, shoulder armor and boots. He took off his Night Whispering Ring, revealing the sculptural features of the Holy Spirit protruding from his pale skin, and the fire in his eyes. Gone too. There was no wound on his body. Uriel realized that he could clearly feel that Joey was not in good condition in front of Kamaria's altar, but now he was a little doubtful.
"Are you injured?" The apprentice was confused.
The messenger lowered his head and looked at himself strangely and carefully. "A little scratch, it's healed."
"You mean you fought against Broken Moon and the Council Bishop at the same time, and you only suffered a little scratch?" Although Uriel had just stepped into the mysterious world, this did not mean that he had no common sense. I'm not a fool.
"It sounds like you want me to be seriously injured and dying." The young man replied expressionlessly, as if he thought the apprentice was a fool. "Doctor Bona said that your injuries have healed and you can get out of bed and walk around. Your control of magic is not perfect, which is why the magic hurts you."
This kind of shirk of responsibility will only make Uriel feel dumbfounded. "I don't blame you, Shiro."
Bai Zhizhi paused for a moment, "I'm not apologizing to you, apprentice, this is a lesson." He placed a ring on the table. "Your silver ring."
"Silver light ring?" Uriel thought that all rune rings were the same as Sauron's.
"Chloe's rule is that only the garrison can't wear it."
"?" The apprentice didn't understand.
"That is to say, except for the residents, all members of the tower need to wear silver rings at all times." Sauron translated it into human language, "Most apprentices wear snowflake rings, and great astrologers wear night language runes." Don’t expect it to answer your questions like the wise Mr. Gessen. These low-level alchemical products cannot be called runic life forms at all.』
Very good. "What other regulations does the tower have? I hope you can answer them all." The apprentice said seriously. He put on the ring, and without heating it, a circle of silver runes lit up. "Should I give it a name?"
"You have other things to do." Mr. Ring was very satisfied with his pronouns. "Some things are useless even if you say them. You need to experience them firsthand to remember them." When we go to Blumnot, you can’t always live in the lounge of the conference hall.』
"What is that conference room?" Uriel felt bad when he heard this word. Where on earth did I sleep for three days and three nights?
"The place where the council of great astrologers met to discuss important events. By the way, during the meeting last night to discuss the Broken Moon incident, one of the great astrologers complained that your snoring was too loud.』
The apprentice's expression suddenly froze.
…
Uriel had not yet recovered from his embarrassment as they walked down the street. He experienced the terrible gaze in the tower, as if the "snoring of the meeting" had reached the ears of every astrologer. Uriel had to avoid the eyes of everyone he met, fearing that he would run away in shame.
"They don't know you." The messenger finally said, "Strangers make them curious." This made him feel a little relieved, and he felt grateful to Joey again. The gratitude lasted until Sauron told him that no one had ever said that and it was just a joke.
"Those people will pay attention to you because you are following Shiro," Ring explained.
Uriel felt a sense of anger at being teased, and at the same time he couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of relief. He found that he had escaped the grip of numbness and that the messenger's head was gone.
Most of the people walking on the streets are mysterious creatures, and their clothes are really different from ordinary people. Uriel thought these were adventurers at first, but soon he saw a woman wearing a mask and an apron spitting fire from her mouth, grilling a strange piece of beef covered with dark green deep folds. "Want some?" the female stall owner asked him enthusiastically as they walked by. But the apprentice really couldn't speak, so he refused.
"That's a snack from Brumnot, but it's not a specialty." It seemed that Joey had written this. "It makes it impossible to eat anything for a day."
"Uh, does it taste bad?"
"Research has shown that meat smeared with butter and moss will absorb acidic substances in the stomach and expand."
Can this kind of thing be sold to others openly? Uriel didn't know how he would digest it if he ate it. "So someone is willing to buy it to kill themselves?"
"It needs magic to neutralize it," Joey replied, "Butter moss is a mysterious plant. If you're asking for further details, I don't know. Botany is very unpopular in the Tower. The Secretary of Affairs has been advocating that it be added to the major courses of occultism, but the voting results are not satisfactory.』
"Remind me to vote for the proposal of the Affairs Department." The apprentice avoided a mushroom that suddenly emitted smoke. He guessed that these things were part of the city's greening. "What is the Affairs Department?"
This question seemed to stump the messenger. He hesitated for a while before explaining vaguely: "Similar to that... administrative department, or the kingdom's cabinet."
"Very impressive." The apprentice encouraged, you actually know the kingdom's cabinet? I thought you couldn't even tell the difference between the Public Security Bureau and the City Guard.
Brumnot is the main city of the City of Floating Clouds, Sauron told him, and the Tower of Croyta itself includes the City of Floating Clouds and most of the sky realm. The name made him shiver. Uriel didn't know what it had to do with the Cloud Train, so he asked his mentor for answers.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a coincidence." Joey said, "The train in the Eastman Kingdom is a creation of the dwarves. Maybe the mystery just borrowed its shape. The relationship between the tower and them is not that good. The City of Floating Clouds There were no trains or buses, and the astrologers constructed a complex network of stairways." He motioned for Uriel to follow him into the nearest shop.
