"I thought you were dead!" The lion Ronald's voice penetrated the wall of the White Tower, waking Uriel up.
"You're not the first to think so." Bai Zhizhi answered in a much normal voice. He had to concentrate to catch the complete sentence. "What did you expect? Maybe it will be a little different than what others think."
"You are more energetic than I thought. Maybe we are all worrying about it." The lion muttered. "Helen thought it was the dark wizard who wanted to provoke a war between the tower and the Silent School, so she came back to me to find Shania."
"Who is this woman?"
"A law wizard, very good-looking. I wrote her name on the back of my hand." He seemed quite proud. "She is the leader of the wizard team of the Silent School entering Eastman this time."
"It's best not to let her see your hands, otherwise the dark wizard won't bother to provoke her," Joey said. "Uriel found Roma..."
"Where is this kid?" This was the first time Uriel saw someone dare to interrupt Joey. But considering His Majesty the Lion's mood, this should have no consequences. Anyway, I will probably be the unlucky one in the end. The apprentice covered his eyes.
"She was washed away by the flood in Silverdome City. Sauron was with her." The White Envoy said calmly, "This is my responsibility, and I will be responsible for finding her back."
The lion's voice suddenly weakened. "No, I'd better go alone." He coughed and his words became vague. "...Six Finger Castle...Demon..."
Uriel heard nothing. He grabbed the handle and sat up, inhaling hissingly in pain. Anyway, this little sting was nothing compared to what Joey felt when he poured holy water directly on the wound. Combined with the violent noise when the other party opened the bottle, he had reason to suspect that what the messenger poured on the wound was not the healing potion, but crushed glass particles.
He estimated that they returned to the White Tower around midnight. The sun was high in the sky at the moment, and Uriel never felt that he could definitely break free from the shackles of sleep - if he hadn't used a long rest to deal with the accumulated fatigue, he would probably continue to sleep until night now. Never mind, I'm not going to feel better after my daily training session in the tower. It's all down to Joey and, of course, his own stupidity.
The bedroom in the White Tower was not prepared for people like him. There was a precedent in the church dungeon, and the furnishings here seemed excessively luxurious. When Uriel turned around, he accidentally knocked away a vase, and the fresh and glorious roses inside scattered all over the floor. Since it was impractical for him to pick up and restore the entire set of movements, the apprentice had to pretend not to see it.
The fireplace was blazing at the other end of the room, and the thin foil on the carpet was half crimson, half multicolored gold. He thought he would not feel pressured by the squandering and luxury of ordinary people, but it turned out that too much comfort and too much simplicity were unbearable for him. So Uriel moved to the velvet chair by the window, as if the flowing air could remove the awkwardness of the room. I just can't stay in a nice place, he thought jokingly, and tried to lift the teapot himself.
The utensil is more delicate and elegant than Ms. Mabel's teacup, and the enamel handle is smooth and delicate, full of craftsmanship. But if one day Uriel can cross the path of death and return to Eastman, he will remind the clerk in charge of the White Tower Stop doing so many trivial things that make people subconsciously cautious. After removing them, the apprentice discovered a shoe print on the windowsill. He couldn't help but think of the pot of myrtle in the tower that Joey had crushed when he climbed through the window.
It seems I'm not the only one who thinks so.
What comes out of the pot is boiling hot purple tea soup, which is enough to make people feel intimidated. I'd rather throw it down and feed it to the pigeons. Although he was very thirsty, Uriel still did not make such a wasteful move. There are still pigeons flying outside the window, and the center of Iron Claw City is full of people and horses, completely unaffected by the flood. The royal capital is upstream of Six Fingers Castle, and it took a while for this answer to emerge. I've become sluggish, a feeling...he's familiar with too.
"What did you break?" Joey opened the door and came in.
"Tea cup." Uriel blurted out, only to find that he still held it intact in his hand. "Well, damn, it's the vase. I almost forgot about the vase."
"The medical officer used cicada slough on you." The messenger said, "I found that your reaction to the holy water was a bit violent."
"There are other reasons." It's a bit embarrassing to say it because it hurts, so forget it in Chloe, but Eastman will remember the appearance of the tower apprentice.
The messenger actually agreed. "It's the Scroll of Oath." He told him. "It has a slight effect of amplifying negative emotions."
"I didn't feel it." Uriel used the parchment like a dark wizard casting black magic. He had long been accustomed to it. However, this side effect cannot be called "minor". While searching for Aiken along the way with Roma, the wave of despair in the Oath Scroll nearly drove him to suicide. "Something's wrong." He frowned and took out the parchment, "I relied on it to replenish my magic power hundreds of times, how come-"
"Mystery."
"?"
"You are already a high-level person." Joey thought for a moment and finally converted the answer into human language. "As the mystery increases, the pressure on the Scroll of Oath will decrease accordingly."
"Gao Huan? But I don't feel anything at all!"
"You were injured and you only cared about the pain."
That's not the case when you light the fire and step into the ring. Uriel opened his mouth. He felt that he had to say something, but he couldn't make up the content for the moment. "ah?"
At this time, Ronald the lion also came to the door of the bedroom. "Is this how you become a mentor?" He laughed at Bai Zhishi.
"According to the standards of the Ministry of Education, I am qualified." Joey replied.
"Apprentices in the tower have basically learned the basic knowledge of the mystery before they start. And this child was originally just a mortal." Sir Ronald Zachary seemed to be taking his time. Perhaps it was because of Joey's assurance to him, Uriel guessed. "Can you stand still, Adela?"
Who is this? "No problem, Your Excellency." The apprentice had already stood up. He knew better than to voice his doubts. "I'm sorry about Miss Roma."
"Oh, don't take it too seriously, it's not the first time she slipped away from me."
The topic should have ended here, but Uriel remembered Joey's promise. He felt that he needed to tell the Lion the truth: "It was my fault. She shouldn't have stayed at the dock at that time. I trusted the cross knights of the church, which led to her being taken away by the tide alone. If Roma was in danger... …”
"There are no ifs." The messenger said, "My ring is on her hand. Uriel, did you use the magic in it?"
"Not once," Uriel promised.
"That's no problem." The Lion continued, "I told little Helen before that Gessen is too smart. The Oath Keepers Alliance is not good at dealing with race relations, but it is good at handling alchemical items." His broad smile Shoulder squeezed through the door, and the room was suddenly filled with light. "You arrived at Six Finger Castle before me, from Silverdome City? It's quite unbelievable for an apprentice. Of course, it's even more of a miracle that you found your own mentor. Search the flooded area of Six Finger Castle - you are not a detective profession, Right? But you must know astrology, that old man Sidney taught you... Anyway, you helped a lot. I thought I had to go back to the tower and hand over the task to the observation deck. "
Uriel smiled awkwardly. "I'm just lucky." What makes me lucky is none other than the devil's magic. Just thinking of His Excellency the Lion mentioning Mr. Oswide, he reacted again. "And, I mean, astrology is also essential."
"You're too nervous, kid. Come to me when you get back to Chloe and let me teach you how to deal with strangers you meet for the first time. The routine is especially effective for girls...well, except for brats like Roma."
"This is not the first time you have met, Lion." Joey finally said, "And Uriel has a fiancée before. Leave your routine to teach Roma, let her know what is different between herself and ordinary girls."
The little lion will be smug, but still give him an arrow for the irony. Uriel thought to himself. When it comes to Cecilia, he must adjust his mentality as much as possible. However, the lion didn't speak anymore. The expression on his face was not much better than that of the apprentice. He looked like he had suffered a fatal blow.
"Please leave now, Ronald." Bai Zhizhi ordered, "Go to Helen. The Gulf War will implicate her. Roma is not in a hurry for now."
The lion didn't understand: "Should I go by myself?"
"The devil has a way to interfere with the matrix array. The Star Gap cannot ensure safety for the time being, so I applied to the headquarters to suspend its use."
The lion cursed and turned away. Uriel watched him leave blankly.
"Don't look at it, and don't take his words seriously. Lion Ronald's ability to distinguish people is as reliable as his attitude towards love." The mentor was always very articulate when ridiculing others. "He will remember the promise, but not to whom."
It seems that the Lion needs the help of the Scroll of Oath more. Uriel nodded and decided to stay away from Lord Kong Jing. Strangely enough, except for Mr. Larsen, every Kong Jing he met was weirder than Joey, but others just thought the opposite. "You mean the Gulf War? What happened to Knight's Bay?"
"The Blood Tribe and the Alliance are at war in the Gulf."
Uriel was startled, "What's going on?"
"If we want to know more, we can only go to Knight's Bay." Joey said, "It's not safe to stay in the king."
"Are there demons in the capital?"
"No. I said, I have to go to the bay."
I don't need to. "Aiken is at Knight's Bay, I have to go there too." Uriel thought of Brother Azby Zion, and he could no longer believe in the bottom line of the church. "I'm much better than when I started."
