"He wants to stay in the tower?" The instructor seemed surprised.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Sabine could imagine Mr. Saint shrugging, "Ronald goes to find your little apprentice, and Jerem will be back in three days. Maybe some demon will see the opportunity, Turn Blumnot upside down like a four-leaf collar. At least we are much safer in Youbai."
"Even if there isn't a void in the tower, it's impossible for a demon to do it, teacher."
"A cardinal from the Glorious Council has created the Divine Appearance of the Broken Moon. Don't underestimate our old friend." There was a creak from the door, "I guess Sidney downstairs must have been awakened. The chair was protesting my weight."
"As an astrologer, you are indeed overweight," Larson said bluntly. Miss Sabina quickly covered her mouth.
"Okay! Otto really asked you to torture me! You should worry about Edgar's affairs yourself. Just don't put them in the tower to disturb Osvid's rest. We do owe a debt to the land-based countries, they It is human nature to seek another refuge. But obviously the whims of the dwarves cannot save those greedy nobles. We are really glad that the one we have agreed with is the most barren ice territory."
Even the future astrologer lady could hear the saint's tendency to end the conversation, but her mentor still asked in the end: "Didn't the White Envoy end the agreement for us?"
"What do you think that agreement is?" the saint asked.
"Compensation from fifteen years ago."
"There are many ways to compensate, and making a contract is not that trivial. Listen, Larsen, we can't give up the Eastman Kingdom, even if it is the shame left to Chloe by the Council of Light. It was left to me by Cornelius .”
"It's been a hundred years since the Holy War ended, teacher."
"No one would have known that we would get to this point. My prediction was accurate, but there are things that are unseen. You asked me about that agreement, Larson, and I tell you - we will not end the agreement, and neither will Eastman. Will use it. It's not an IOU that the tower allows Eastman to take whatever he wants, it's a responsibility. Don't forget our duty."
After a long silence, the instructor replied: "I think I understand."
"As an astrologer, your reaction speed has not exceeded the lower limit. I thought you knew everything when I rejected Bai. Now it seems that even he knows better than you."
"Yes, and the White Envoy can use knives and spears to teach me about the distribution of constellations. I heard that the commander's apprentice is more suitable to be an astrologer."
"He is already a ring-level person." The saint said, "Warrior profession. I think people will find their own path, and there is no need for every child to worry about the Eye of Iron. He may have forgotten that he is an astronomical person. He is not a member of the Ministry of Education, and his apprentices always add to the workload of the Public Security Bureau..." He sighed strangely, "Otto should feel sorry for my beard. Could it be that his inability to discipline his younger generations is passed down from me? A bad habit?"
"I believe Helen was merciful to you when you were a child." The instructor pointed out. "She couldn't bear to use candles."
"Remind me to hang the torch higher next time." The saint opened the door and saw the girl bowing deeply. He muttered, "Good boy, don't be nervous. There are no hidden secrets here. Astrologers don't have to hide or explain. The stars will tell us everything, so just feel it with your heart." Then he walked to the opposite room. , the figure disappeared behind the dark door panel with complex star patterns carved on it.
Only then did she dare to raise her head and blink confusedly towards the door. Larson Gallagher then walked out of the room, turned the handle and locked the door. "That's the laboratory, miss. When you become a saint one day, maybe there will be a new room next to it."
These words made her blush. "I never thought of it that way, sensei."
"But I've thought about it." Larsen raised his eyebrows at her. "I answered the same question when he asked me. I thought Demosis would praise my ideals, but he doubled my homework for the day. And told me, 'Although I should encourage you, I still don't want to hear this. You have to learn to understand the mood of your elders.' Your answer was very considerate of him, but not of me." He handed her a roll of parchment. . "So you too."
Sabine was holding the parchment, dumbfounded on the spot.
…
The training ground was at the bottom of the tower. As soon as Uriel went out, he almost bumped into a trolley full of parts. The messenger was smarter than him and gave him a hand in time.
"Can't you control your legs?" he asked knowingly.
Because I got a boot on my knee. "I'm just a little tired." Uriel said through gritted teeth.
He sat down on the sofa in the lounge, and the heat quickly made him sweat profusely. The temperature of the training ground is suitable, even a little cold, and the temperature of Chloe during the day is actually comparable to the scorching moon in Yotsuba City. Of course the apprentice knew who the source of coolness was, so he bit the bullet and started looking for something to say.
"Are you going to go on inspection?" He hugged the other person and ignored him, preparing to ask.
"I got seven days off after the Broken Moon incident." Joey answered. This seemed to be an unusual thing. Someone passing by in the corridor would quicken their pace when they saw him. Bai Zhi turned a blind eye to this.
If there weren't any decorations blocking the view, Uriel thought they would probably turn around and leave. But this is the Tower of Croix after all, not a small place like Venevoise or Bonfire Town. Even the Four-leaf City and the Tower are incomparable. Mr. Eds and the mercenaries' fear of the messenger can be said to be due to the crushing relationship between superiors and subordinates and the degree of mystery. The tower is full of mystics. As a result, these people still regard Joey as a scourge.
The apprentice couldn't help but ask: "Have you cast any weird magic on yourself?"
"What?"
"Such as magic to disperse idlers..."
"It's possible. Then who do you think has the most time now, huh?" He shot back crisply. "After the Broken Moon incident, the Affairs Department suggested that I stay in Chloe for a while." Joey explained.
After they fought off the Paladins and a Cardinal in violation of the Tower's agreement with the Council, the bargaining between the two mysterious organizations was facilitated by staying out of the limelight. Uriel turned his head away unnaturally. It was mainly because he wanted to protect Meimei that he caused a lot of trouble. "I'm sorry." But not sorry.
"The arrival of the Broken Moon in Veniworth is not part of the treaty. The Glorious Council broke the agreement first, and I must fulfill my duties."
"What about the coordinates?" He still remembered that their original destination was Iron Claw City.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send another garrison to Eastman. If he doesn't want to walk back to the tower in the future, he should find a way to solve the coordinate problem." Joey stared at the apprentice with his dead eyes, "You are Gao Apprentice of the Tower, if you don't graduate, you will have to stay in Bloomnott for the rest of your life."
You never said this when you gave me the choice. "Not graduating?" He was sure that he had read all the common sense and instructions in the ring word for word. There is no requirement to stay in the Tower of Sky if you don't graduate.
"You are my apprentice, and you will be exposed to many of Chloe's secrets. The Affairs Department does not allow such people to leave the Chloe Tower, but if you enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or swear an oath in the name of Otto, you can go back... But then One that I don’t accept.” The messenger reminded him, “The Secretariat of Affairs will accept my request. They will certainly do so.”
Uriel never expected that the biggest obstacle to his adventure would be Joey. Is he trying to keep Croita safe? No, it’s because I come from the outer world and have ridden the Cloud Train. Although he had no intention of betraying the tower, such a straightforward request still made him feel a little awkward. "Now it seems that I can only see York and the others again if I enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
You never know what Joey is saying to you. "Reservists in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also need internships. You have plenty of opportunities."
"Internship?" He thought maybe it was just a warning, telling him not to talk nonsense or move around. It's easy.
"Assisting the instructor to conduct inspections in the tower's kingdom, basically once every half a month. Due to my special position, it is also common to go back to the Eastman Kingdom."
It would be nice if we could keep in touch. The apprentice breathed a sigh of relief and turned to lighter topics. "So what are your plans for the holidays?"
The messenger's tone never changed. He turned back and closed the door of the training ground, "Replenish supplies and send the mysterious items for inspection."
"It's going to take seven days?"
"It's to repair the mysterious object, not me."
Uriel didn't find any mysterious items other than Sauron on him, but that didn't matter. "Well, if you have time, would you mind helping me get to know Blumnot?"
"mind."
Perhaps because he rarely got negative answers from Joey, he was a little unable to recover for a while. But soon, Uriel realized that Joey really had no obligation to help him with anything. I should have expected him to say no.
"I don't have time." Joey said, "If the silver ring and the map can't help, I can lend you Sauron. Your knee still hurts?" he asked suddenly.
"Thanks...ah, it's a little bit..." he replied. To be honest, the apprentice felt that all the bones in his body were trembling. He suspected that he had not healed from an old injury.
"It seems to be a bit broken." The messenger seemed confused, "I controlled the strength. You didn't use magic to protect yourself?"
"Use it." Otherwise, I might have crawled out.
"It's frost erosion." The reason was written on the wall on the ring, "It's not just defense when there is physical contact. Shiro's magic power will constantly add frost damage to you." You must use magic to protect yourself from start to finish during combat, otherwise you will soon suffer from mysterious frostbite. He didn’t do it on purpose, it was Mysterious’s instinct when he was in a hostile state.』
How to train like this? Uriel felt it was necessary to turn out the winter clothes he wore at Winnie Watts and use them as daily training clothes. Gaia, I finally know why everyone is avoiding him!
"You're so stupid, boy, I thought you'd find out on your own," Ring gloated.
"I didn't notice it either." The young man told it to shut up. He took a step back subconsciously, then suddenly stretched out his hand. "I'll take you to the logistics department."
