Uriel nervously let go of the bell, hoping that Mr. Eze would not be surprised by his sudden visit. As soon as the door opened, it was he who was surprised.
"Sir Larsen?"
The great astrologer pushed up his glasses and sighed: "I should have expected that you would come to him. What a guide of fate." He said incomprehensible words, but his attitude was very kind. "Come in, kid."
"I'm here to visit Mr. Eze." Uriel walked to the door carefully.
The lights were on in the inner hall, and a large ball of yarn was piled on the carpet. In addition to the teapots for entertaining guests, there are also many palm-sized flower pots on the narrow coffee table. It's hard to tell what they are planted at the moment. The floor was covered with a fluffy green carpet, and Uriel wasn't sure if it was real grass. Hopefully it's not moss, that's too wet.
There are two wooden poles in front of the window. One root is a grape trellis, and the fat leaves of the vine are dotted with crowded dark purple fruits. The grains are full and extraordinary, like polished black jade. The other root is green-red, and the large white flowers release a strong fragrance. It took Uriel a long time to recognize that this was actually a rose bush. I really don’t know how Mr. Eads managed to grow this indoors and have it bloom and not bear fruit during the Harvest Moon.
The druid was sitting in a recliner, directing the two rabbits to run around and do their work. When Uriel saw this scene, for no reason, he imagined what he looked like when he turned into a groundhog. The apprentice quickly turned his head away and managed to maintain his expression.
"You can actually find me." Mr. Eze greeted. "I don't remember telling you my address."
"Uh, you did it on purpose?"
Larsen revealed: "He is eager for you to come. Before the store opened, he was extremely idle. It's just that our former garrison would rather hide than deal with your mentor."
Uriel didn't understand: "Bai didn't do anything to him."
"It's just what you see."
"That's enough! Can only my grapes stop your mouth, Larson? Do it yourself, otherwise you only deserve to drink herbal tea." Druid complained. The great astrologer happily picked a bunch of fruits.
Eds Haynes's clothes were not as neat and tidy as they were in Four Leaf City, and looked loose and comfortable. It seems that he is living a comfortable life in retirement. He left Uriel's bare feet on the carpet, for Larson wore the only slippers in the house. "They're just grass."
That's it? Uriel felt something tickling the soles of his feet. But the feeling was minimal, and when he lowered his head, he could only see the still, lush green. The apprentice was very suspicious that these things were actually magical plants that could move on their own, and they did not dare to make any small moves under the eyes of the Druid.
In the presence of the great astrologer Larson Gallagher, Uriel found himself unable to let go of his emotions. He thanked him for the cold tea and fruit, determined not to show any curiosity about the two rabbits doing servant work. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about the fabric sofa. Mr. Eds lay back on the recliner while the big astrologer concentrated on smoothing the hair of the two little things. Uriel stared at the reflection on the surface of the tea for a long time before he couldn't bear the embarrassment and started the topic.
"I didn't realize you lived so close."
"The properties placed by the Affairs Department are basically in the third and second ring districts." Eze said, "As long as you go out and walk around the streets, you will probably meet someone you know from the tower. Just tell me this. ?”
I'll give it a try when I finish learning the damn 6th edition runes. "I'm really sorry for coming to visit you so late." He was extremely embarrassed. "I never thought that studying would be more difficult than working. Everything here is different from what I originally thought."
The great astrologer was amused by him. "It's too bad to be the same, kid! I know a mysterious place where the layout comes from the imagination of the intruder. People call it the 'Dream House' because everyone will feel more familiar there than at home. "
Uriel heard himself ask, "Where is it?"
"The northernmost part of Binya Io, the country of quicksand, Sodria. The place where the glory shines. The environment there is very difficult, and the existence of the dream house has not been confirmed. If you are lucky enough to be the first to explore the secret land , remember to bring me some specialties back."
"Can't astrologers see the secret realm too?"
"We can find that the desert is unusual, but there is more than one mysterious area in the desert. The dream house is still a legend - just like the moon capital Kamaria you have been to. Helen regrets that she did not catch up with the good times, Now Kamaria has disappeared."
"It's impossible for her to catch up with the good times. The south is the area where the ice witches live, and she will never travel there." Eze said.
Uriel did not know Helen, but he had heard of her name. "The Witch of Destiny" Helen Dorothea, she is also a disciple of the Saint and has an extraordinary position in the Fate Assembly. This is something that can be seen from the title of Kongjing. To the apprentice's surprise, there were rumors that Lord "Eye of Iron" was attracted to her. Although I don't know what the outcome will be, the relationship between them is undoubtedly somewhat ambiguous.
One of the protagonists of the rumor was right in front of him, and Uriel's eyes couldn't help but look strange. He suspected that no matter what he said next, he might hear that noble lady's name again.
Things turned out exactly as he expected.
"When the Moon Capital arrived, the observation deck did not notice any abnormalities. At that time, Eastman's coordinates had not been corrected, and we contacted the Commander through the Star Gap. I was also surprised that the Saint did not remind us... Later I understood him I don’t think we can help.” Larson sighed, “The Parliament acted very quickly, and Eastman was once their vassal country after all. But none of the Skylanders who stayed in the tower at that time could spare the time. "
"Did something happen in the Floating Cloud City?" Uriel couldn't help but ask.
"No. We are just dealing with daily affairs. The Tower of the Sky has a very heavy task... After signs of suspected Gavash's return appeared in the Four-leaf City, the astronomy room was busy observing and calculating relevant star trajectories, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs dealt with other mysterious fulcrums News. Even the important observation deck is guarded day and night by one of my apprentices."
"Because it was originally on duty in the Sky Realm to find another apprentice of yours who ran away from home." The druid sneered.
On duty? It seems that now it is Mr. Osvid's turn. Uriel was still grateful for the help given by the old astrologer, even if he finally gave up on the astronomy room. I'll tell him my choice later, he thought, then apologized sincerely and asked Mr. Sidney's forgiveness. In any case, he was my class instructor, and he never shied away from anything because of my poor foundation in occultism.
"Sabina will step into the ring in this year's Trial of Fire." Larson said, "She is the most talented astrology apprentice I have ever seen. You must have heard of her."
"Of course." The apprentice admitted, "She is the best mysterious apprentice in the tower. I have wanted to know Miss Sabina for a long time." The last sentence is not quite true. Uriel stayed in the tower for a whole month without seeing the saint's disciple once. He felt that she was deliberately avoiding meeting him.
"Sabina doesn't like to go out very much. She prefers to study the telescope in her room." The big astrologer continued, "I suggest that she learn from Helen and spend her spare time going out. Miss Dorothea is also an astronomy room member, but she always has time to travel around the continent.”
"That's because you gave her the back door when you were on duty." Eze pointed out ruthlessly.
"Eye of Iron" pretended not to hear. "When Kamaria came to Veniworth, Helen was in a secret place south of the Blue Forest. A mysterious place that is not dangerous - the Triangular Swamp, which is rumored to be the birthplace of black magic."
"Dark magic?"
"Different from the witchcraft studied by wizards of the Silent School, black witchcraft comes from the abyss and is an evil and cruel method. You can find detailed introductions to these things in the library, but there are no examples. Miss Helen suggested that the Ministry of Education should include them in relevant textbooks Add a fun Dark Witch spell or two to show the apprentices that the mysteries of the Abyss are no joke," explains Larson. Before his old friend could start teasing, he turned his head and said, "Why do you always hold on to me? Helen Dorothea is a smart, lovely and good girl. I was not the only one who liked her back then. It's just -"
"I'm not interested in your failed courtship." Druid said bluntly, "In the final analysis, I think she did the right thing, and what she said is even more right. As a mysterious witch who peeps into destiny, Heather is on top, and she is waiting for you to speak. I didn't know you had a crush on her before. I guess it won't be Sir Helen's fault."
Your Excellency "Eye of Iron" confessed to "Witch of Destiny" and was still rejected? Huancheng Daily would definitely be willing to pay all its space for this news. Uriel held back his laughter, feeling his cheeks sore from it. Although Mr. Larson has always been kind to others, the apprentice really didn't see that he had such a warm and passionate heart. I hope Mr. Larson won’t come to trouble me later... This kind of gossip is not something you can hear everywhere.
But then, the image of Cecilia sitting behind the bar and dozing off appeared in front of his eyes, and all his mood suddenly disappeared. He felt the grass carpet gently tickling the soles of his feet, and the snow-white rose flowers emitting fragrance more violently. The fragrance had a soothing component, which seemed to soothe his soul.
"Stop talking about these embarrassing things." Larson finally ended the topic unhappily, "Otherwise I will stew this little guy." The rabbit in his arms trembled with fright, a pair of red eyes filled with grievances.
Probably for the sake of the servant's life, the druid didn't bother anymore. "Then according to the rules, you have to pay me two. This business is good." He asked the other rabbit to pour himself tea. "And Uriel, I guess you must have found my residence in the Affairs Department. Why did you come to me?"
Uriel straightened his back, but didn't know how to speak. "I...I have some time recently." He began to hate his timidity. "Mr. Oswald is busy dealing with the observation deck, so I have a few days off."
"Are you keeping up with the lessons?"
"My test scores were okay."
Mr. Eads said nothing, but the apprentice knew he was satisfied. "You're a fast learner for a fool like you."
