Dawn of the Grey Tower

The latest website: There are two footprints on the snow, one deeper and one shallower. Helen's weight is light, so her steps are naturally light. Youni was heavier, and he was still carrying cleaning tools, so his steps were heavy.

Fortunately, the snow was not to the point where it was difficult for people to walk. Except for the slightly melting snow layer that became a little muddy under the sunlight, the speed of the two children was not affected much.

The tower of cheese is not located in the center of the city. When the cheese used magic to pull up the tower, it used the remains of a building that originally belonged to the lord's castle. The castle was located in a corner of the valley city.

"What do you think will be in that tower?" No matter how calm Helen looks on the surface, for a six or seven-year-old girl, the Tower of Cheese is not yet within the scope of adventure. It will take at least a few more years before her curiosity and mobility will support her adventure in this kind of building.

"I don't know, I can't judge the situation inside it from here. But since it is the teacher's tower, the things inside should be related to magic power." The few lessons in the City of Magic have achieved good results, and Youni can compare A general understanding of the similar and different powers used by spellcasters.

Therefore, he can be sure that his teacher needs magic power to cast spells, which can be regarded as the source of the gray robe's power. It's just that the apprentice is also very clear that the power of cheese has never been the only one. He is as knowledgeable as he can skillfully use many different schools of spells.

"Magic power...huh, I see." Helen turned her head away a little unhappy. She didn't know the specific definition of magic power, because witches couldn't teach them even if they wanted to. As natural spellcasters, witches' theoretical knowledge was pitifully poor.

Except for a few people who are eager to learn and are willing to put aside their innate habits and learn from scratch the essence of magic summed up by humans or other intelligent races, witches cannot distinguish between magic power and other sources of power similarities and differences.

And in a state of mind mixed with self-protection and self-esteem, Helen concealed this matter with plausible affirmations.

Youni didn't notice the little dissatisfaction of his colleagues, just like Helen's uneasiness, he himself was quite nervous about the task given by the teacher. But at the same time, Youni also believes that the cheese will not give himself an impossible task. Just like all the previous trials, the gray robe is so cost-effective that it never expects accidents to happen.

The knowledge and technology I have are definitely enough to face this challenge. The only problem is how to use them and how to express them quickly and accurately.

"Crackling..." The wooden door was pushed open by Youni, and there was no scene of dust splashing as imagined inside. To be honest, the lower floor of the Tower of Cheese is neither dirty nor gloomy. The rats faithfully complete the cleaning task, and some people come to clean it every week.

The cheese tower is not big. Through the thick walls, the core area of ​​the tower is only about 20 square meters. The center of the tower is cylindrical, with spiral staircases on the edges, and a ladder for hanging heavy objects in the center.

At this time, the hanging basket of the ladder is on the first floor, like a huge cage, connected by six ropes and the pulleys on the top of the tower. When it needs to be used, someone must first climb to the top of the tower and operate the pulleys there to lift the cage. object.

This kind of design is not convenient, but since the pulley block is made by Hui Pao himself, multiple things can be easily pulled up by one person, which can be regarded as offsetting this cumbersomeness.

However, today's two people don't need the high-efficiency pulley block that some Ratmen worship as an artifact. Their cleaning work needs to be done step by step, and when they reach the top of the tower, the work will be completed.

As for how high the top of the tower is? Youni stood in the circular cavity in the middle of the stairs and looked up, somewhat dazzled.

"From the inside, is this tower taller than the outside?" Helen followed Youni to look at it from the same angle. She was not fully focused on the task, and she was more keenly aware of the gap between the inside and outside of the tower. symmetrical phenomenon.

"It's very possible. But you have to go a little further to be sure." Youni has seen similar situations. There are many buildings in the City of Laws that are small on the outside and large on the inside. Some of these distortions are like mirages. Get closer and it will return to normal. Some actually expand the space, making the capacity of the inside and outside of the building actually change.

Hesitating too much here will not make any progress, Youni stepped on the first step of the spiral staircase quite carefully, without any abnormality. Looking at the crumbling tower from the outside, the inside is unexpectedly clean and tidy. Not to mention the abnormal noise of the stairs, even the vines growing in the walls are particularly restrained.

The two children climbed up to a fairly high position without encountering any obstacles other than gravity, and the open door below was already less than a finger-wide gap in sight.

Everything was so simple, until Yoni looked up and saw that the stairs in front of him were no longer clean, but covered with a thin layer of dust.

"Be careful." Not knowing whether he was warning Helen or reminding himself, the apprentice turned all the cleaning tools aside and freed up one hand to deal with emergencies.

He first thought of the teacher's lantern. Cheese taught him how to use it, quickly lit the breath of dawn, and after letting the sunlight radiate from the lampshade, he turned around and handed the lamp to Helen.

"You, what do you mean?" Helen took the Breath of Dawn, caught off guard by its unexpected weight, and quickly grabbed the lantern's ring with both hands. After all, it is something that can be used as a warhammer, and it is quite overwhelming for a little girl. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Hold it and make sure the lights inside are not extinguished. We should be safer." Natural sunlight can restrain many dark creatures, and those abnormal phenomena caused by magic power often need shadows to appear, just like the misty illusion commonly used by gray robes Generally, the light of dawn is enough to pierce them.

"Then why don't you take it? Let me carry it." Helen obviously didn't realize Youni's concerns. She was well protected and had no experience of being in danger, so she didn't know what Youni's entrustment was actually. A kind of protection.

"Don't you prefer to sweep the floor?" Yoni waved the mop in his hand, yes, they are here to clean. If the steps in front of you get dusty, just sweep them away. Although the order of cleaning the towers should be from top to bottom, but now they don't care about it.

"Okay." Helen didn't like carrying heavy objects, but she didn't like those dirty cleaning tools even more. Interestingly, when a dirty broom touches a dirty step, what is left is clean.

The first step, the second step, the two went up silently, nothing happened.

"It seems that this matter is not so difficult."
