Blooming Tower of the West Wind

Walking in the desert is a very strange experience, which is often experienced in Ayme Cortes Theron.On sunny days, she would sometimes go out for a walk on Tius. After leaving the tower, the sense of distance that humans often have becomes very unreliable.

The desert is boundless, as if there is no end to it. Ordinary people will quickly lose their sense of direction and distance, thinking that they have walked for a long time, but in fact they have only walked a hundred yards and deviated from the direction.

Now, adding the river and the oasis along the river to the experience she was already familiar with, it became another kind of experience.

Without the protection of the wind barrier, the strong wind kept blowing her, the skirt kept flying in the wind, and most of the skirt was completely spread on the son of the earth.

Hipper was sitting beside her, her fair skin and light golden hair made her almost blend with the white robe.

The gray eyes are hidden in the shadows, and at first glance they seem to be the color of white sand.

The soil under the feet is moistened by the river water and held by the roots of low plants. It is solid and reliable. At the edge of the plants, the sand moves freely, so that it is much lower than the river bank. After stepping on it, the son of the soil will get stuck If you don't move, you must rely on a special "elemental walk" spell to continue moving.

"It's so convenient to be a mage." Virgil relied on the help of the water lord to get a dark cloud to shade him, so that he could open his eyes and look at the road ahead under the scorching sun.But the white sand was too harsh, and he ended up wearing a piece of bony goggles, which startled Theron when he turned his head to speak.

"What's this, Virgil?"

Hipper made a timely explanation: "Walking in white sand for a long time, people will be blinded by strong light. The kind of goggles ensure that only such a slender line of light enters the eyes, which can prevent blindness."

"Wow, who came up with that?"

"It was thought up by the Nuatu people who live north of Tiosa, where there is snow all year round."

"Then do we need something like this?"

"You don't need it if you look at me." The archmage said calmly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence, but Virgil couldn't help but look sideways.

In theory, this is not bad: violent blindness appears after staring at the monotonous and unchanging white sand for a long time, and if the colors in the field of vision are rich enough and the brightness is not very strong, violent blindness will not appear.If you look at Hipper, most of the strong light reflected by the sand is blocked by her body, and she is in shadow so she doesn't look too bright.

But, but.

But Virgil decided not to say anything later, since nothing could be changed anyway.

The butler of the big water polo walked side by side with him, and there was a water polo next to him, which made people feel much cooler.In front of him was a green road, leading to the place where the earth disappeared. It looked very far away, but in fact it was as shown in Theron's calculations. It was about [-] yards, which was a distance that could be covered in a day on foot. It is not at all the same as what is written in the poet's poem.

He was thinking wildly, his field of vision was limited to a thin line by the bone goggles, but the interest of the two mages behind him had completely shifted to the leylines.

"You already know why mages usually don't summon earth lords. 'Earth' cannot compress its own volume when enriched into a lord like 'wind', 'water', and 'fire', which makes the lords in the earth element interface They are all very large.”

Theron asked: "It's like in the Scroll of Water that Fantolaja threw the mountain giant into the water in an attempt to confuse the entire endless waters?"

"Yes, but the endless water is too deep, so the mountain giant still fell down."

"Well, can't imagine how big they really are."

Hipper smiled, "I can't even imagine it. But it's different in the 'Human World'. There is a characteristic here. 'Soil' can be compressed to activate it into a...mysterious pure energy, which is the energy of the earth veins."

"So 'crystallization' is a phenomenon produced after 'soil' is injected into rock?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Is it a change caused by energy?"

"That's right. Do you have any new ideas?"

"Ah, yes, in fact I have... If it is a change in energy, it can be reflected in the absorption crystal, why don't you try my method to test the leylines?"

Hipper looked at her with relief, "It's a good idea, but I haven't seen the leylines. Judging from the quality of these rocks, the energy of the leylines is actually a very weak energy, which is different in magnitude from the energy changes you can cause. .If we want to measure ley line energy with absorbing crystals, we might want a more accurate gauge."

"Oh..." In other words, this task has been given to her?

Hipper smiled softly, "You still have a task to conceive of our measurement procedures. Perhaps you have learned that similar outing practices require you to write an experiment report. First, you need to clarify the purpose of the experiment, and second, you need to design the experiment. Steps. Along the way, we have also discussed some properties of the leylines... So, can you try it?"

"Of course." Theron replied with chest out.It is not okay to retreat in front of the archmage. Although Hipper will never force her to do it if she insists on refusing, but with the previous "school incident" as a lesson, Theron dare not refuse any request from Hipper.

Afraid that she would be disappointed, that she would lose interest in herself, even though she had never actually written a lab report, nor had she ever systematically observed even one.In the past, if Hipper asked her to complete unfamiliar assignments, at least she would have been provided with a template for her to imitate the format.

Not at all this time. Could it be the Archmage's impromptu idea?Theron looked suspiciously at Hipper, who didn't realize it, and seemed to be concentrating on flipping through the rock quick reference manual in his hand.

But Hipper gave Theron a chance to look at her openly, and of course Theron seized it. She didn't have to bother to explain why she was focusing on her. When the teacher looked back, she just smirked.

White, Hipper seldom wears white, most of her clothes are black, and occasionally she changes into a gray coat, these two colors are very suitable for her stern temperament, which has been cultivated so deeply that white is worn in the She was still stern, and Theron felt that she was too cute in white, even cuter than Tius.

"Theron? Why are you staring at me?"

"To prevent violent blindness. Here, only the teacher has the most colorful colors."

But the archmage always had something to say, and she said coldly to her apprentice: "Theron, think about the task I assigned you." It was a bit too cold.

After passing through a green and white mixed area, the road along the river bank gradually began to be populated with people, and even cooking smoke appeared in the distance. It turned out to be a village.

"The area in front is the camp of the pioneer team sent by Duolu Town. They plant potato crops on the sandy land. It is said that they grow very well. The thorny vines are planted around the farmland to fix the sandy soil so that the sand will not erode. .” Virgil walked to Hipper, pointing to the smoke in the distance to explain.

"Sounds like a good idea. Where do we stay for the night? Camping? I wonder if there will be a hotel in a reclamation camp."

"It's hard to say. Summer is the harvest season anyway. There may be foreign workers who will fill up the only hotel. It was originally just a lounge on the second floor of the tavern. I don't think you will live there. You really should Get a flying castle or something, let the castle fly wherever you want."

"What do you take me for? A witch who responds to requests?" Hipper blinked.

"Is there no such technology? I think it should have been realized a long time ago. It will definitely sell well in a mage like you who is unwilling to go out physically, but whose heart is flying to the distance every day."

"Unfortunately, not yet. There is no similar conceptual design. But I have heard of a space mage who put her home in a carriage with a very large space tortuousness. Of course, the side effects are also great. Her sense of space scale Rather bad."

"I also hope to have a carriage like this." Virgil looked at the intersection of the blue and white side and said longingly.

On the contrary, Theron was unusually quiet, writing and drawing with her small notebook. Lenning's tentacles always protruded from the cracks in the space, but because the force was too strong, it entered and exited far away from Aime Cortes. Even more restricted, only a small tentacle can be stretched out, dangling on Theron's notebook like a toy.

"If you promise to come out and help me write, I will let you out."

"Oh yes, my lord, I'm getting bored to death."

"You can't dislike the wind and sand making your body muddy too much."

"Since when did I dislike it?" Lenning quibbled.

"You said it five times from yesterday to today."

"Is that why you didn't even say hello to your loyal water lord this morning? Oh, I'm so sad." The tentacles began to cry, and Theron hurriedly used the wind to prevent his notebook from getting wet. blow them away.

"Okay, okay, come out." Only the water lord with the master's permission can freely enter and exit the human world, and the two mana fusions form a "bridge". It is easy for Lunning to be "pulled" out of the elemental interface.

"Let me take a good breath." Lunning couldn't wait to turn into a fountain and sprayed himself out. The tiny water droplets turned into a rainbow in the air and then condensed into a big water polo, which bounced twice on the ground, sticking After being covered in ashes, it made a disgusted sound, turned back into its original body, and shook off the sand attached to its body in disgust.

The Kettler region is at the westernmost edge of the desert, and there is a trade wind blowing from the west across the Elemental Gate, which is like this all year round.

This is a relatively rare phenomenon. It is reasonable to say that there is no vegetation in the desert. It is hot during the day and cold at night. The wind should blow outward during the day and inward at night. came to worship, and left from the east contentedly.The surrounding high mountains block precipitation, and the moisture-rich gas at the bottom gradually cools down during the climbing process, losing the ability to carry water vapor. This is why the west of the mountains is a gentle and lush meadow, while the east is almost a desert landform.

Only Duolu Town is a little special. The water vapor will break through the barrier from here, moisten the Vasal River, and interact with the oasis repeatedly, thus making the vegetation more luxuriant.

The author has something to say: Everyone is right, the only function of Uncle Virgil is to be a blinded light bulb.
