soul devouring system

The towering magic tower was still as calm as when I came here.

The mysterious runes carved on the ice-cold stone wall exuded mysterious light. Wang Dong stood at the bottom of the tower and took a deep breath. Under the cover of the night, the light-emitting stone wall looked extremely attractive.

But he has made up his mind.

"Although I don't know what conditions Miriam will ask...but I won't agree either."

Wang Dong thought.

He took out the talisman Irene had given him in front of the door from his pocket.

According to herself, this is to prevent her sister from doing excessive things to Wang Dong, but no matter how you think about it, a princess is still a noble and unattainable magician-she is the one who owns the magic tower !
This is a height that some sages cannot reach.

Although her magic tower seemed a little deserted.

Until Wang Dong stood under the tower, no one came out to greet him.

"Milian!" Knocking on the door, Wang Dong shouted towards the top of the tower.

"Galala--" Miriam didn't appear, but the gate at the bottom of the magic tower was already opened, and the sound was like a blood-sucking weirdo grinding his teeth.

Shivering, Wang Dong looked at the road ahead illuminated by magic.

"Miriam, I'm coming up," he whispered.

It seemed that he was also cheering himself up, and then he set foot on the road to the magic tower. The air in the tower was a bit cold, which Wang Dong felt deeply when he opened the door.

Even, when the cold air flow meets the outside air, it can condense into a thick mist in the air, and his breathing can even echo.

"Milian!" Wang Dong didn't know which floor this woman was on.

But as he shouted this time into the air, an unburned torch beside him burst into flames.

Wang Dong glanced at the torch.

"Hope you're not playing tricks..." He stepped forward.

The torches placed on the side of the road were burning one after another, and even the neat and symmetrical torches were placed on the stairs. As Wang Dong climbed up, these partners also provided him with the function of guiding lights.

This gave Wang Dong a sense of ritual.

He thought it was Miriam reminding him.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this woman's gourd, so Wang Dong quickened his pace.

Climbed for a long time.

When Wang Dong stepped on the steps ahead, the torches around him finally stopped burning.

look down.

The abyss is endless.

"..." Wang Dong closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. He subconsciously tightened the amulet in his hand again, and looked around. The space on this floor is not that wide, it's just a platform connecting the doors of two small rooms. .

Among them, the burning direction of the torch is Wang Dong's left hand side.

But at this time, the door of this room is ajar, and the world inside the door, the dim light is like a ray and a wavering fire that resist each other.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Dong walked towards the room.

"Dangdang."

Wang Dong gently knocked on the door.

"Come in." Miriam's cold voice came from inside the room.

Wang Dong pushed open the door.

The moment his fingers touched the door, there was a burst of warm air from the door to wrap Wang Dong, and after that, the temperature in this room was much higher than that in the tower.

This warm feeling made Wang Dong's tense body relax a little.

"Miriam."

Wang Dong saw the woman, the world in front of the door—this is a place similar to an office, it’s just the layout used by the old magician who only appears in movies when studying notes, Wang Dong can guarantee that even if No one would use this kind of arrangement if they were as rigid as the soul masters in the trade union.

This can make people feel drowsy.

Let alone work.

At this time, Miriam was sitting at such a big stupid wooden table reviewing something. There were still many documents on the table in front of her, and she didn't know what such a magician would be researching.

magic?

Maybe.

However, her serious appearance is really hard to see in a woman of her age. Even Irene, who is serious about tutoring her homework, is quite different from her.

But Wang Dong's entry did not make this woman look up.

"You sit there first and wait for me to finish reading this." She lowered her head.

Wang Dong shrugged indifferently, and sat on the chair next to the table.

I thought that Miriam would finish reading the heavy book quickly, but after she finished saying that, she fell into deep thought again. It seemed that there was something wrong with the book, and her brow would frown from time to time. wrinkled.

Wang Dong was a little curious about the data book in her hand.

It's just that he doesn't know how to communicate with this woman.

He could only get up, and tiptoed behind Miriam, looking at the data book placed in front of her.

"Empire public accounts..."

Wang Dong muttered in his heart.

What Miriam looked at was nothing else but the four characters printed at the top of the information book—Imperial Public Accounts, which should be the accounts of this country. It’s just such a thick book, and it’s conceivable that this magic How rich the teacher is, and each page is as big as an A4 paper.

Some accounts are recorded densely and handwritten on the paper.

Wang Dong read a few lines in front of him—although it was trivial, it did record everything.

"Strange..." Miriam held a quill in one hand, and scribbled on the paper with the other.

Wang Dong took a few glances.

She was probably trying to calculate a bill, and it wasn't a difficult task. At least, judging from the emphasis placed on mathematics in Chinese education, Wang Dong's eyes could quickly find the place.

He can even solve the problem with mental arithmetic.

I don't like the atmosphere of this magic tower very much, and Wang Dong also wants to leave here after finishing it quickly.

So he said: "There is something wrong with this bill. The purchases are all daily consumables. The last account was written a month ago, but this time it has only been half a month. Such a large amount of consumption, if it is not a large amount It is impossible for such a vacancy to arise due to the increase or decrease of personnel this time.”

Miriam turned her head subconsciously, and saw Wang Dong standing behind her, and a dazed expression appeared on her face.

"Are you here?" she asked again.

"..." Wang Dong laughed dryly twice, and nodded immediately.

After that, Miriam looked back at the account book in her hand, and asked subconsciously, "You understand this?"

"It's just a number game, and those who have problems don't know about this account." Wang Dong said: "You see, after this, every account book of the person who keeps the accounts has been adjusted. It is only used to buy daily food, so how can there be such inexplicable fluctuations?"

"..." Miriam followed Wang Dong's words and looked at the data book again.

It seemed that Wang Dong's words gave her inspiration, she finally breathed a sigh of relief after slowly nodding, but her expression was not relaxed, but she didn't continue to read, just nodded and closed the data book.
