When the protective gear was removed, the night elf found the apprentice. "You want to leave?"
"That's the truth. I thought...oh, I mean I just came back...or..."
An arrow was nailed to his feet. Uriel took the opportunity to interrupt the conversation. Thank the gods. "Roma!" he shouted loudly, "you can't aim at us." He saw the little lion making a face and jumping over from the other end of the training ground.
Dalton also frowned at her, as if he had to face a pot of hot soup head on. From York, the apprentice learned that they had had a fight not long ago over the start time of her daily practice.
"You are too much in the way." She pointed to the top of her head. Uriel looked up and found that the moving target happened to be floating above.
"An alchemical creation with a fixed orbit, how could it fly outside the site?"
"Where is the boundary outside the venue?" she asked, "Are you referring to the railings that you and the commander removed?"
He had almost forgotten. I don’t know what Joey is up to, and he has been missing recently. Uriel didn't have to fight him, and his injuries had long since healed. But the renovation of the training ground will have to wait for half a day, until the maintenance department is free. People went to other floors to continue their activities, only the apprentices were too embarrassed to go. "Since you know exactly what happens to the railing, watch your tongue."
Uriel threw the arrow back. Roma caught it quickly. She kept walking, stepping over the cracks in the ground, and finally stopped in front of the two of them. Even without her fur, she brings a warm breeze.
"That's not the way you sounded when you asked me for help, Uriel." The little lion complained, "I tried so hard to find the records you wanted in the library."
"If you knew the magic text, you wouldn't think so." The night elf said bluntly, "Most of the ancient documents will not be translated into common language, waiting for unlearned imps to destroy them. The old version of the magic text is as important as the new grammar... ..." His voice gradually dropped, because Roma was fiddling with the bowstring indifferently, and didn't seem to be listening at all.
"It makes sense." The apprentice had no choice but to pick up the conversation, "York and I were also very miserable when we were in the Holy City. The number of books there is about the same as the tower."
"Not now. Sabina told me that two-quarters of the astrology apprentices have been transferred to the library to catch up on work." She looked frightened. "I heard that they only copy books. But on average, each of them copies three books a day. .Three books! Is the astronomy room crazy?"
"It's one-half. I'm sure your arithmetic isn't up to standard either." Drow received Roma's glare again.
Just spare me. The apprentice was in no mood to mediate their relationship. "There is a reason for this." He said absently. "Soren Gessen stole many books in the Holy City and is currently busy filling them into the library. I haven't seen it in the past few days."
"I was not able to participate in this matter!" The bowstring in Roma's hand clanked.
This girl seems quite depressed? "If you ask me, it would be better for you to be less involved in such unfortunate things. If your archery skills improve, you will have another chance next time. To be honest, I understand the benefits of having more people." At the headquarters of the Gaia Church In Anti-Angle City, what scares Uriel the most is not the black knights and law wizards, but the steel torrent composed of cross knights and school wizards. The Paperclip Mercenary Group tried their best, but if he failed to control the Pope, all the results would be in vain. We can't kill everyone after all.
Escape from the city is also difficult. The consequences of being impulsive are countless prying eyes. The wizards were angry about the war in front of their own house, and the "Ascetic" wizards hated them, and other schools were also eager to know the inside story so that they could gain the upper hand in the ensuing internal fighting; Moniantoros was still the ruler of the kingdom. , there was an undercurrent among the nobles, members of the royal family were making insinuations, and even the Earl of Eastmania, the former lord of Dalton, who came from afar, was involved. I heard that he was squandering money to bribe Nightingale, so he didn't dare to let go of the news about a "drow". He does not understand that we are too busy to take care of ourselves.
There are also many obstacles in the mysterious realm. Brother Lucia is hostile to them, and the secret society is trying to make contact. After rejecting the Black Knight, Uriel did not dare to go to Hitarian. He could only pray that she would leave the wizard's lair safely. The Inquisitor suffered heavy casualties, causing a wave of condemnation among the Demon Hunter team. It was said that some people believed that they were affiliated with the Society - Uriel was shocked by this news. Fortunately, no one believed that the facts could be so absurd.
To break it down, only the Paperclip Mercenary Group is relatively friendly, but the news of Celine Kalemu's death is difficult to conceal, so this friendship will inevitably create suspicion. We push away friends and create enemies. he thought. I even had a slight thought of regret.
Just before Pope Gaia's announcement came, they were almost surrounded by spies. Three high rings can kill the Cross Knights, but three nightingales are enough to find their hiding place. So when the apprentice finally returns to the tower and is able to relax at home, he realizes how valuable a private space of absolute safety is.
In comparison, I would rather copy books in a high tower. What does three books a day count? "Next time. Roma. Just next time. When you have a reason to leave." Uriel pried open the protective gear. Sita York had already slipped through the crack, just as easily as he slipped into the empty shell when wearing protective gear. I can't learn this. "I probably have to go to the library. You continue."
"Not including me." York interrupted, "It's so boring here. There is butter moss in the clouds, which is better than the sand in the ruins." He stamped his feet, shaking the particles out of his shoes. "How long were we in, man?"
"Four days," Dalton replied, "is not a long time."
"For the residents. I'm here for sightseeing, and I don't need to study."
"Really? I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should charge you for being Uriel's sparring partner."
"Let me think about how to price it." The apprentice stuffed the armor into the wooden box.
"You have to refer to the price trend. Do you want to pay tuition to the Commander-in-Chief?"
Uriel never thought about it. "he does not."
"It does happen." The little lion scratched his tail fur, "The Ministry of Education's fee management does not include the Destiny Assembly, and the Kongjing cannot just invest and not gain. In this way, we will become very poor soon. Maybe Ronai De pays my bills."
The apprentice stared at her suspiciously: "In fact, the Ministry of Education will give me living expenses every month. What's going on? Where does this money come from?"
"Is there such a good thing?" The little lion suddenly became angry. "Why do I have to save money carefully?"
"Sauron must know it. I happened to go look for it. It's in the library, right?"
When Uriel found the ring, he got a reasonable answer. "The Prophet has determined that you have made special contributions, so he has exempted you from education expenses." It said, "As for the living allowance, of course I will manage it."
"you?"
"I. What's wrong with me? Your tutor's salary will be kept by me. Why, you are more capable now, right?」
Not as good as you. Uriel pretended not to hear. It wasn't for this reason that he climbed the stairs. Damn it, why did I bring this up in the first place? It's not too late to regret now. "Anyway, your function is complete, and the tower's database is at your disposal." He went straight to the point, "Look for historical documents before the War of Dawn for me, wise Mr. Gessen."
"The Battle of Dawn?" What do you want to do?"
"It has something to do with the Holy Radiance Council. They recently sent envoys to the City of Floating Clouds." The lie blurted out. After realizing this, Uriel felt awkward for a while, but now he had to put on a reasonable appearance. What to complain about? Could it be that I'm not used to it yet? "It's easier to find now. Look, their collection of books is here, and no one is watching."
"The Holy Temple will not let the true collection leak out," the ring reminded, "There are very few official histories, and most of them duplicate our records." As for unofficial history, there are countless such things, but they only have artistic value.』
"Where are they all?"
"South. The apprentice of the Eye of Iron took some away not long ago, and she went to the back row.』
Astrologer Sabina, she is Roma's friend and the most talented astrology apprentice in Croita. Most of them are astrologers now. She had been a hot topic among the apprentices, but to Uriel, the girl's legend was that she had never appeared before his eyes. He had suspected that there was no such person. Hopefully the historical document I'm looking for isn't in her possession.
Backfired. Uriel missed it, but when he walked through the crowd copying books without any hope, he found the notes left by Sabina. Judging from the dried ink, the owner had been missing for some time.
"What happened ten minutes ago" Uriel turned his head and caught a glimpse of Sauron's rune. This guy must have put aside his pile of work out of curiosity.
"A hand-drawn copy of the star map." The apprentice picked up the page on the stool. Apparently the owner left in a hurry, and the notes were carried off the table by the wind. "Where's the person?" He looked around, and sure enough he couldn't find the other person.
"I know that," Ring replied, "A few people were transferred from the astronomy room half an hour ago, and they probably have tasks assigned to them. She was caught by her tutor and became a secretary.』
Maybe no one is avoiding me on purpose. Uriel tucked the star map into the book and found his target from the stack of books. He pulled it out.
"'The Ballad of the Red Valley' is entirely elven," Sauron wrote. "The author is a fog elf." It’s such a pity, there’s nothing you can do with it”
"Don't talk about Dalton, even York can understand it, it's not a problem." Uriel skillfully ignored its squeeze. "Before the Dawn War, the fog elves had not migrated yet. They were still the moon elves of Alanvor." He turned to the opening table of contents.
"Are you looking for the records of Broken Moon?"
"Take a look." Uriel said vaguely, "Maybe I will encounter related troubles soon."
"Don't worry. Until you defeat the White Envoy, neither the Glorious Council nor the Mist Elves will be able to find you.』
If I could do it, there would be no need to collect information at all. With Joey's ability, the apprentice suspected that he might first subject those Lucia priests to an experience equivalent to that of the Nameless Ones. One thing is undeniable: there is no saint sitting in the Council of Light and the Royal Court of Faftanna. If the envoy wants to break into the two's lair, it will be no more difficult than when they broke into Antuoros.
"That's not certain." Uriel pointed out, "I heard that there have been many guests in the tower recently."
"Mist elf?" impossible. They are still tossing around in Eastman's Weenie Watts, as if they can really find the inheritance of the moon." The ring told him contemptuously, "The nightingales have reliable guesses. They believe that the purpose of the Fife Tanner elf is actually God...wait, do you know this? You are trying to trick me." It reacted immediately.
"No. The prophet summoned me alone. He has a new mission to give." Getting out of the tower is my next mission. "The Antuoros situation has become too big. I'm afraid I need to take shelter from the limelight."
Mr. Ring shimmered slowly, with a hint of suspicion in his rhythm. "leave? Let you? you"
"This is true."
After the war on Antolos, all chaos seemed to be back to normal, but it was clear to the entire mystical realm that the Silent School had lost the religion that supported them. Pope Gandrias of Gaia not only made a public statement to distance himself from "Tattoo" and his heresies, he also issued a financial transparency notice in Antipodes City, condemning all priests involved in monastery transactions, and also asked the wizards of the school to give up The command of the Judge returns the team that purged the demons to their corresponding positions. Of course, it is impossible to realize all of these conditions, but the School of Silence made concessions after all.
The church reform seemed to be so successful that even the Tower Prophet praised his actions. Even now, Uriel still feels unreal. Come on, I probably have something in my mind that makes me think wildly.
"The prophet hopes to clean up the association so that the mysterious realm can unite to deal with the chaos at the peak of the elemental tide." The apprentice said, "I heard that the elemental tide will bring the Twinkle Pool to Knox. Is this true?"
"The Flashing Pool is just one of them. Many small planes have returned, and the busyness of the astronomy room is probably related to this. We must deal with the mysterious places and record their laws," the ring replied. "I see you'd be quite willing to go out, boy?" what's the situation? Chloe is the safest at this time.』
Its judgment was correct, but Uriel didn't want to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart. The crusade against the unknown associations sounds like the second demon hunting campaign, which will help those who are interested in making a name for themselves. Unfortunately, the apprentice only saw the ruthlessness of order and the cruelty of the unknown. The two sides were so entangled that it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong. When you cannot guarantee your behavior, it is better to do less.
He no longer had the sense of mission he had in reforming the church. Uriel would be very happy if he could avoid the dispute. "You made it very clear, but I don't care about these things."
"The purge of the mysterious realm is about to begin, you can't escape." The ring seems to know something inside, or maybe it just doesn't want me to go out so soon. "The Prophet has his plans. Although he didn't tell the truth at the meeting, I'm afraid your work was involved. it has to be you"
It has to be me? "Unfounded."
"You can create your destiny, Uriel. This is Otto's guidance! Bai Zhizhi told you"
Of course, Uriel knew that Sauron was not making things up. When it comes to fate and the future, no one can help but be alert. However, he has too many troubles, and the consequences of messing up don't seem to be on the same level as any damn prophecy. "I have heard this many times, but you have never made it clear once. I can roughly guess Magdalena's predictions, but I only don't understand what the astrologer thinks of me."
"You can ask him" Ring didn't want to take responsibility.
who? Joey or prophet? The language organization ability of the former was completely out of consideration, and as for the latter, Uriel was too late to hide. If "Dark Night Awakening" has a whim and is interested in the details of his time in Monian Toros, then it will be interesting to see. My prophecy is not clear yet, the Black Knight's prophecy will probably come true first.
"If the prophet believes I can change the church, then maybe that's my entire mission."
"Mission and your thoughts are two different things"
"Indeed. I must go." He pretended not to understand what Sauron meant.
"No one will accompany you to fool around," the ring wrote unquestionably, "I will tell the master, I will!" He couldn't possibly agree. The Prophet will consider his opinion because it is reasonable... Even if you do not stay, you will not be allowed to run around."
"No. He should agree."
"Don't lie to me, kid. You think you know him, but you will suffer from this one day" Mr. Ring warned.
Uriel closed "The Ballad of Red Valley." "He said this himself."
"I have no record." Sauron didn't believe it.
"That happened a long time ago." But it is really difficult to forget. This is where my mysterious journey begins. The wind of emotion blew past him, and he suddenly felt that his organs were empty. "The White Envoy told me that we don't have to care about our own destiny."
The rune life desperately searched for this sentence in its memory bank, and Uriel would not wait for it to verify its authenticity. He stuffed the book into his pocket. "I have to go." Night had already fallen outside the window. Searching the literature took him a long time. "Miss Sabina isn't back. She hasn't finished her work yet?"
"An abnormality occurred in a mysterious place"
"What a coincidence. I need this book. Can I borrow it outside?"
"I remember what's in it," Mr. Ring said unhappily, but it actually meant permission. "Anyway, no matter whether it is a story or advice, as long as it is conveyed by me, it will lose its effectiveness and no one will listen."
"I still have to find a mentor." Uriel couldn't wait for Sabina to come, so he put a borrowing note on her notes and specified that he could get the contents of the book from Sauron.
"Honestly, what are you looking for in history? 』The ring suddenly brought up the old problem again. "to be honest. 』
"Uh, Broken Moon..."
"to be honest. Uriel. 』
A chill came over his heart, and the apprentice suddenly shivered. This feels familiar. "Just trying to understand. I don't know the history of Knox, it's very different from the outside world."
"Where are you going?" 』
"Go back to Eastman," Uriel told him. "You should feel relieved now. Don't mention me. Dalton and York have their own arrangements. Mr. Haynes will be happy to see an old friend, Shadowfang." , I think he and Roma get along very well. Croita is one of the safest places in the mysterious realm, you said so. Look, Eastman is also considered a vassal state of the tower." He put down his quill. "I will most likely stay in Four Leaf City for a while, wait for the fog elf envoy to leave, and then go to Winniworth to visit Captain Calder."
"Why don't you wear Nasita?" The tone of the ring returned to normal.
Uriel blinked. "I can't make the decision for him. York is in love with the food wizard here." No one has ever turned them into coffee beans, and now the chef's menu has been greatly expanded. "In fact, his control over the elements is not yet flexible. There is only one high-ranking member in the Knox mercenary group, Calder. If York makes a mistake, he may be too busy."
"ha! You actually said that. Regarding causing trouble, boy, do you think you’re not good at it?』
Uriel was speechless.
