Dawn of the Grey Tower

A group of four people, an adult, two children, and a cat. Such a combination seems to be more common in other places.

But if the man is carrying two swords behind his back and holding a high iron rod in his hand; the cat is wearing a suit and walking on two feet; the two boys are speechless and coat wild leather The coat and the hair are tied into many braids like a dwarf; although the girl is dressed normally and behaves well, what about the three chilling scars on her face?

Such combinations seem to be rare everywhere. Especially when the girl and the cat are arguing while walking, the man just smiles with the stick, and the boy doesn't say a word.

The library platform is crowded at dusk. Although this turbulence is only relative, because of the population relationship, even if half of the residents in the entire city of magic are gathered here, the visual effect presented will still be crowded. The gap.

However, recently due to the influx of foreign populations such as Hedia for the purpose of studying or observing gifts, this low-density city finally feels a little noisy.

The wizards in long robes walked on the platform in twos and threes or alone. Their destination was probably a restaurant on the street or a rail station on the edge. The sunset meant that public facilities were about to stop operating, at least at the top of the hill where the wizards gathered. It means rest.

"You just left a note for them? Isn't that a problem?"

Jian Qi thought as he walked, but couldn't help but ask Hedia. When they left, the drugstore was also preparing to close.

An apprentice was assigned to look after the store. The little princess gave the news of her departure to him for safekeeping. If her subordinates find it, she will give them the note.

"It doesn't matter, they recognize my handwriting. And when they find it, it is probably tomorrow. They are different from me. They are far away from the rights and wealth of the kingdom, so they must hurry up and gain new gains here. This is also true. It’s good. The province’s people circled me around. As for reaching a business agreement with the people here? Oh, even my kid knows that if the City of All Laws wants to trade with people, they won’t hide themselves. ."

Hediya's thinking ability is not like a child of this age at all. Her eloquence is very good and her thinking is sharp enough. Although the way of observing things is not old enough, it can be called clear. This makes the person talking to her feel confused, as if the child is only developing slowly, but in fact she is already eighteen or nineteen years old.

But in fact, Jianqi and Kailas used to be such children, they knew what kind of environment would make a child have to use these methods to let himself understand the world faster. The pressure of her life in her own kingdom should not be small, because only rigid etiquette training can not train a clear mind.

"But if they don't get the benefits, I'm afraid they won't stay by your side for too long. Long-distance travel is something that many people cannot bear, especially when the property in their hometown may change at any time."

Jian Qi hesitated, but pointed out this point. In addition to loyalty, the reason why Hedia's subordinates are willing to follow her here is definitely because of the possible benefits of the law. Once they find that they can't get any benefits, a princess who has lived abroad for a long time may not be so worthy of allegiance in the eyes of these officials.

This is also a normal thing, after all, although Hedia is smart, she has not done anything worthy of their sacrifice.

The little princess nodded, her expression was a bit complicated. She knew that these people would leave her one day, and even contributed to this happening by herself, but that didn’t mean she really thought they were very noisy. Without them, she I'm really alone in this city,

"It's okay. When I am enrolled, I will have classmates and teachers, and books and knowledge. There will always be something to accompany me."

Jian Qi and Kailas glanced at each other. They knew that Hedia didn't know the power of loneliness, and what kind of alienation it could look like. This is not to say that being alone is a bad thing, at least for the caster, being alone and thinking independently is very necessary. Blindly contacting people, mediating and wandering will make them lose some of their own characteristics.

But loneliness often makes people extreme and stubborn, because he is so used to seeing the world from a single perspective. But that's not what they can warn Hedia with a sentence or two, and the girl is right, no one can say her future, maybe she will integrate here soon.

"Well, did he come to enroll as an apprentice?" It seemed that he had already pulled in the relationship with a few people, or maybe just wanted to move the topic away from him, the little princess looked at Yuni who was walking by and asked. Tao.

Her problem is not without reason. Although Cheese said that it was Yuni's teacher when she introduced herself at the beginning, there is still a difference between the teacher and the teacher. When cultivating their heirs, many mages also like to put them in the system of the City of All Dharma first, and then take them back to continue their education when they reach a certain age or level.

Spellcasters always lack time, and it is very difficult for them to teach apprentices from scratch little by little.

"No, I'll follow, teacher." Before the two of them could speak, Yuni took the initiative to answer this question, and his attitude and language were very firm.

For this child, the relationship between cheese and him is not just as simple as an apprentice and a mentor. Cheese saved his life, overcome veterinary disease for him, took him out of the dark lower zone, and even counted. As he created spells.

Youni may not realize how great this kindness is, but he knows very well that everything he has now, including his name, is given to him by cheese. He will survive under the hands of the gray robe until he starts. Think about the meaning of your life.

"That's it." Hedia's tone was a little lonely, as if a child knew that his playmate was going home to eat.

Although the way of getting acquainted is too impactful, as a woman, Hediya is not yet at an age to truly realize the impact of her face on her life. A scar is exchanged for a friend, for the little princess who has never been accompanied by her peers. It may not be a bad deal.

In fact, it is more than just her. How many of the adults hurt themselves to make the people around them unbearable to leave, torturing each other in painful entanglement? Of course, the current Hediya has not done such an excessive thing, this is just a little bit of her careful thinking.

"It suddenly occurred to me that we might have to stay in this ghost place until the end of the ceremony. Since the gray robe left us on the first day, maybe we don't have to follow him all the time. After all, we are not interested in magic. . And this kid, he hasn’t learned anything anyway, and the cheese hasn’t left him any homework. Wouldn’t it be right to let him follow you to pick up something or something these days?"

Kailas' words made both children look at him. The difference is that Hediya is a little bit happy, while Yuni is a little scared. Jian Qi patted the boy's head lightly,

"Don't worry, Mr. Kailas didn't let you go. He was just worried that we might not be able to take care of you these days, for fear that you might have an accident in this city. In contrast, Miss Hedia is articulate, smart and well-behaved. , You can also save your teacher's mind by following her."

The little princess stood up proudly after hearing the words of the sword seeker. Which kid doesn't like being praised?

So even though she was as smart as her, she didn't want to understand that these two people were in a few words, so she found a nanny for Yuni.

Yuni, who was supposed to hurt her, came to take care of her, but turned into a smart Hedia with a dull Yuni. The person who was supposed to be taken care of became the one who was going to take care of others. Maybe it's the dirty trick of the adults.

Naturally, the two young children are not aware of the change in the relationship at all. They are also happy that there will be people of the same age who will act together in the next few days.
