Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 518

Allerica has confirmed some unusual habits of Jing Juan more than once, which seems to imply that he comes from a very strange cultural environment.He has a certain understanding of mechanical equipment, and can quickly understand even unfamiliar objects, and will ask some typical users who have a certain awareness of the underlying framework to ask questions.That is relatively rare in an ancient covenant like his.She didn't need to explain to him what a creative agent was, or that there wasn't a band on the stereo.But when she mentioned the White Tower, Jing Huang's reaction caught her attention.

He did not clearly express his views on the largest group of mages in the alliance. However, Yale Liga noticed his sensitivity to the word "White Tower".It is not easy to find evidence, but she only found that Jing Huang had a subtle and special reaction to the "tower".When they first set foot in Sugar Land, he wasn't like the other first-timers who stared blankly at the street or the chair at their feet, or walked around in circles trying to get a glimpse of every new gadget.When Yale Liga tried to encourage him to get involved, she saw Jing Juan looking over the biscuit roof and pointing straight at the sugar tower.He asked Yale Ligata what was in it.

"Nothing." Allerica replied.The rock sugar tower is a symbolic decoration, just like the red algae lake represents the origin of Sugar City, and the tower is the hometown of the cat people, a common building in Le Panting.Their soaring cornices are exquisite, but the interior space is extremely limited.Even the cat people will not live in it for a long time, they only use the tower for play and sentry.

It's hard to describe Jing Huang's expression after hearing this answer.He didn't seem happy, and he didn't express his willingness to go to the top of the tower for sightseeing, but just stared at the group of towers silently.Yale Liga heard him whisper after turning around, "It's white."

She had to suspect that there was some connection between Jing Juan and the White Tower.

The White Tower—despite being known to the public by that name—isn't really all tower-shaped.When "that snow-white lonely tower emitting mysterious shimmering light" repeatedly appeared in various legends, Yale Liga saw more majestic and magnificent things from the maze of her memory.It is a grotesque palace composed of complex latitudes, a collection of all kinds of unintuitive geometries; a huge copper beast lurking in the depths of the scorching sea of ​​fire, only those who are also covered with secret stones can open its huge mouth ; the dark core rotating deep in the ice dust at the tail of the comet, following the trajectory of the stars to tour and preach in the void... Among those ancient or alternative factions, Yale Liga is most concerned about the Tower of Silver Light.

People called it the Staff of Silver Light—the legendary mage who defeated her ancestor, the second daughter Melendra, but did not leave her true face in this long inheritance.In the memories Yale Liga saw, the Silver Rod was a simple and ordinary Homo sapiens skeleton, occasionally wrapped in a white robe or a dark dress, and even running around naked.The shabby appearance of an apprentice, as well as the equally mediocre, bleak and old stone tower, convinced Yale Liga that this was a falsified memory.Before the descendants of Melendra were released from the Tower of Silverlight, all the most important information was undoubtedly erased.Perhaps the Silver Rod did not want his address to be known, and she had heard that he rarely showed up at school or Camarilla meetings.

In view of the pivotal position of the Silver Wand in mage legends, Yale Liga has no doubt that the stories of those "White Towers" and even the naming of the White Tower Organization are related to it.She doesn't intend to avenge Melendra, but she also doesn't want to touch the most secretive and difficult factions hidden under the story.When Joan showed his special attention to the White Tower, Allerica briefly worried that he might have something to do with his most dangerous foe, but quickly dismissed it.She found that Jing Huang knew very little about the White Tower, and she seemed to regard it as a highly disciplined and unified academic group—that cannot be said to be completely wrong, but when Jing Huang asked her about the location of the core tower group, and While expressing her surprise at the complicated battles among the mages, Yareriga felt that the "discipline" that Jing Huang referred to was not limited to the simple etiquette of apprentices.

She wanted Jing Juan to know the real White Tower, a dangerous and formidable foe, but also a handy assistant and contributor.As a family that had been deeply entangled with mages in her ancestors, Yale Liga maintained contacts with two or three White Tower mages.She thought it was very beneficial, and it would be best if Jing Huang could have one or two of them.But she was not in a hurry to introduce a real and powerful mage. What she wanted first was to eliminate Jing Huang's peculiar hostility, so she deliberately led him into the shop of the White Tower.

That's confusing to the uninitiated.The shriveled fruit on a walnut tree may be the palace of the mages, and those white towers that are brightly located in the inhabited places and completely conform to the public impression, only in Zhisi City can the backbone of the school live. .Mages bow to the public to a certain extent, trying to satisfy the imagination of outsiders, and at the same time cunningly earn rich research funds.

In the white tower managed by expatriate tower keepers, innocuous hypnotic potions and lucky charms will be sold, as well as cursed items thrown by outsiders in a hurry. Naturally, the tower keepers are responsible To identify them, to judge whether they are shallow tricks used to make fun of fools, or secret art tools with great power, they are not only responsible for this kind of business work, but also purchase and manage spell materials, and Run errands when necessary and tackle jobs that apprentices can't handle.Before they ascend to the true palace, their mentor will ponder them countless times, and claim that this is the necessary experience accumulation.Only a few clever or lucky apprentices do not have to suffer this honing after becoming a Tower Keeper, but can participate in greater research with the mentor who chooses them.Yale Liga is not clear about the selection criteria for such special students. In the current situation, she thinks that a mediocre tower guard who guards the false tower is enough.She doesn't need an overly shrewd and careful person to study her identity.

Naturally, such a tower cannot buy all the items that mages are willing to sell.For his own achievements, the White Tower has always been quite cautious.For a long time, Yale Liga wanted to know whether the "Possibility Department Store Catalogue" really existed, but her loyal mage friends kept tight-lipped about it, as if they had never heard of this legendary great spell.Yes, you can't buy these in the bright white tower, but if you are willing to spend money, or decide not to buy anything, the novelty gadgets are cute enough.

Thus Yale Liga took Jing Juan into the tower.She used Zhisi coins to buy tickets for the tower keeper, and she soon received a warm welcome from them.The tower keeper is also very interesting, like a toad with hair all over his body, and he speaks with a wart on the top of his head, which sounds a little muffled.In the process of receiving them, the tower keeper introduced himself as "Mingyang Tongshi"

His resounding name formed a stark contrast with his strange figure, which made Jing Huang reveal some uneasiness in his calm overall performance.Yale Liga watched her traveling companion sitting side by side on a high armchair with her toes away from the ground, and seemed to want to sit cross-legged on the chair a few times, but held back as if nothing had happened.She remembered how Jing Huang called herself when they met for the first time, and she couldn't help but find it very interesting, but she still pretended not to see it.

The tower keeper greeted them politely but mysteriously, perhaps imitating his mentor's tone.He also noticed Jing Huang's disability, and briefly showed vigilance.Yale Liga knew the reason for this. Some parents would try to throw their unwanted children in front of the white tower, or send them to the tower when they were a little older, praying for adoption by the mysterious and powerful mage.Most of these children are lacking in knowledge and ability, unable to learn the secret art of magic, and they cannot voluntarily sign apprenticeship agreements at all. A support agency established by the Union.That's very unpopular with the stressed public system, and if they send too many people, they will inevitably be levied a fine for mismanagement of the mage tower.

That misunderstanding was quickly resolved.When Yale Liga explained her reason for coming to him, and saw him swipe the triangle of investigation quietly in the air with his short fingers, she knew that this Tongshi had already noticed Jing Juan's identity as the ancient covenant law.That made him happy all of a sudden, and asked them what kind of arm they needed.

"The mysteries can revive dead limbs, yes," he said, rubbing his hands, in his deep, loud voice, "even for a being like your child, who cannot regenerate limbs as you claim, we can't There are other strategies that can help him to be healthy and make life easier, just like having a real arm. Don't be surprised, ma'am, it's a trivial thing we seekers are good at..."

Allerica almost pursed her lips into a smile.She didn't have any problem with the tower guard's remarks to maintain the mage's reserve, but when she heard the other party's misunderstanding about her and Jing Juan, and noticed that Jing Huang was writhing resentfully in the chair, it was hard to say She didn't want to tease the tower keeper.He probably thought that since Jing Juan hid behind her everywhere from entering the door to going up the stairs, and refused to say a word to outsiders, and Yale Liga was willing to spend a huge sum of money to add an unnecessary arm for him, they Probably some sort of adoption or mentorship.She planned to follow this man's words and kill the price as a grieving mother.But at this time, an ethereal wind chime echoed in the tower, which meant that there were visitors at the door.

The tower guard immediately showed an air of vigilance.He apologized hastily to both, then ran down to see who the new visitor was.After a while he let out a yelp of annoyance, and some sort of childlike cry sounded.

"Seriously?" she heard him yelling into the street, "Mencheng, this is Gatecheng! It's not some goddamn barren mountain! Don't throw your children around! That's enough, you bloody bastard! Send one every three! Every one is sick! Don't live if you can't take care of them! Are you eavesdropping? I know what you filthy people are up to, you don't give a shit about these brats I just hope that others will raise them, it is best to raise a great mage, and then you will jump out and let it work for you! You dirty vampires want a slave, want a mage family, don’t you ? There are no doors! I tell you there are no doors!"
