    c_t; At dawn, the biological clock hidden in the body began to tug at Vinnie Jojo's sleepy nerves. After a long struggle, the girl reluctantly climbed out of the bed to take a shower.  One of the benefits of living in the Mage Tower is that clean water is available at any time. However, no matter how powerful the nobles outside are, they still have to let their servants fetch water from the Jinxue River.  There was a sunken stone niche on the blue-gray wall. Pooh pulled out the plug, and clear water flowed. Dirty water entered the city sewer through the drainage outlet at the lower end of the stone niche.  He used a toothbrush made of boar bristles dipped in some green salt to clean his teeth, and combed his hair. Pooh picked up the apprentice's robe and smelled it, and immediately frowned. Even though he had washed it several times, the sweet smell of fish oil persisted.  Refuses to disperse.  Pooh had no choice but to wear it and walk out of the room.  "MorningJoral." Cod next door yawned and said, a beautiful boy with reddish-brown hair and freckles.  "Oh, the smell on you really matches you." "I told you to call me Winnie." The girl walked away with a straight face, shaking off the boy's slightly malicious teasing.  "Qiaoqiao cannot be regarded as a surname, it is the nickname given to her by Winnie's mother. As for the noble surname of her father, Viscount Joral, she is not interested at all.  The fourth daughter born in wedlock is also a superior person in legal terms, but since the Viscount's second marriage, Pooh and his sister have become green flies on the cake in the eyes of their stepmother, and their status in the family has been declining day by day.  By the time she was almost 10, she was in the same situation as a maid at home, enduring hard bread, cold bean soup, and the unreasonable malice of other servants.  Her sister was very cheerful. She always said comforting words while washing her stepmother's excrement bucket: "Nothing will be worse. It will be good things in the future."  But the Pooh sisters soon learned that the only thing worse than cleaning toilets was getting married.  Winnie only saw her sister once after she got married. She was trembling with fear, her eyes were full of fear, her silk clothes were covered with burns, and three toes were missing.  then.  She made the most daring move in her life. She stole her stepmother's daughter's evening dress and jewelry, hired a carriage like a real lady, dressed up in splendor and went to the grammar competition held by the Duke of Carlton to select poets, and won the prize.  Come back with a ranking.  Her prayer to the Duke brought her sister back home and made her parents a laughing stock in the circle.  Gritting her teeth, the stepmother carefully selected a businessman who sold fat ducks, and would rather lose her reputation than marry Pooh to an ugly man.  5style_;The girl who escaped for the second time set fire to half of the castle and went to the Duke of Carlton, who she had a close relationship with.  What no one expected was that the prime minister recommended her to Geta. It was said that Master Ye Phosphorus admired her "adventurous spirit" and that her identity and background satisfied Geta - Viscount Joral announced that he had severed the relationship between father and daughter.  [Fast updates, clean website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, must praise it] So Vinnie Jojo lived in the Outlaw Department of the String of Life for 6 months.  Pooh walked down the wide spiral staircase.  Hands brushed over the solid, dry and cold inner wall, the tower body is mainly made of high-quality diabase and peridotite, mined in the northern mining area of ????Essien, cut into large strips and blocks, and flowed south along the Jinxue River.  Craftsmen use aged volcanic ash as a binding agent, and even a blade cannot fit into the gaps between the stones.  In the central hall on the first floor, thirty-three stone pillars support the high ceiling, which is spacious enough for horses to gallop when banquets and gatherings are not held.  This is the restaurant.  Twenty apprentices from the Ministry of External Affairs were sitting on the benches chatting, waiting for the "gate" to move its butt.  In the small team of twos and threes, Code had the most people around him, while Pooh stood alone.  There was a metallic collision sound as the gears meshed and the bearings rotated.  The gatekeeper of the song tower, the Sword Spider from the Mechanical Realm, woke up on time. It pulled out eight folded sword-shaped segmented legs from its body, plunged deeply into the ground, and propped up its three-story steel body.  Pull out the abdomen blocking the entrance to the mage's tower.  The apprentices straightened their backs one by one, smoothed their clothes, and walked towards the sunshine of Pilsen.  Because the song tower prohibits people other than life masters from entering.  In addition to the main body of the song tower, the Chord of Life also has a dozen ancillary buildings for servants to live in.  Every morning, apprentices and servants exchange breakfast under the sword spider's body.  The servant carefully walked through the spider's legs. They were not harmless cilia, but gleaming wheel saws. When hundreds of pieces rotated at the same time, the noise was terrifying and made people go crazy.  The sword spider's head was lowered, its eight ruby ??compound eyes shot out cold gaze, its knife-like mouthparts clicked as it scanned one face after another.  No one could care less about such a terrifying stare, but the servants had to raise their heads and show their full faces so that the gatekeeper could identify whether there was a stranger taking his place.  Four months ago, Pooh saw with his own eyes that a servant's face was bruised and swollen because of a fall. Sword Spider didn't recognize it, so he lowered his head and gave him a "kiss". The blood Anyway, it took a long time to wipe off the blood.  And the sword spider has also become a famous national attraction in Essien.  Although the locals are tired of seeing it, there are still visitors from the north and the south who come here every day.In order to watch the steel monster move its buttocks and wait outside before dawn, Master Ye Phosphorus kindly demolished a wall and turned it into a fence, so that people can watch it enough.  Although the Master of Life is hidden in the tower, Sword Spider has earned a huge reputation.  Whenever the spider made a big move, the onlookers let out a burst of exclamation. Pooh heard Codd curl his lips and whisper: "Hillbilly", then he took the dining car and returned with his head held high.  After finishing their portion, the apprentices worked in pairs to deliver meals to the Dharma Department.  And it was Codd who was with Pooh. The latter was quite critical of this combination, so every time he took a light thing filled with butter and rosin bread, and handed Pooh a gold-plated soup bowl and main dish - carrying a heavy  Walking the pallet from the first floor to the third floor is also a test for the child's arm strength.  Pooh never complained, it was much easier than cleaning the manure bucket.  "Mrs. Sindiawe are coming in." I came to the Ministry of Law to get to the song tower not as a student but on vacation. This is what Pooh always thought every time he entered Madam Sindia's bedroom.  A large velvet bed like a rose is about to bloom, and the aged stamens are curled up in a ball wrapped in quilts.  Coder walked over with a little hope and even excitement, and called softly and imperceptibly: "Mrs. Scindia?" "Hmm" The female artist responded vaguely, revealing her gray shoulders. She was nearly forty years old.  For women, Mrs. Sindia is full of mature charm.  "Madam?" Coder called again.  "Little Code, don't make any noise, huh." "Get up Madam." "Annoying little Code um." The female artist turned over slowly.  "Husband" Pooh hit the plate hard with the silver spoon, and the piercing sound broke the charming atmosphere.  Codd stared at Pooh in shock and annoyance. The girl said calmly: "Madam, breakfast is here. We will review pronunciation together in the afternoon. Now we have to go to class. You know that Teacher Mina has a bad temper.  If you're late" He stretched out half of his arm from under the quilt and waved it lazily, signaling for them to go out.  Code chased him out of the door, grabbed Pooh's lapel and asked, "How can you be so rude in front of Mrs. Cyndia? Banging the dishes is an uncultured behavior." "I always like to hear that 'little Code' is an educated person.  Here." The freckles on the boy's face turned black due to the rush of blood.  "You parentless bastard" Codd swallowed the word hard.  The two of them kept an awkward silence as they went up to the fourth floor, where the Foreign Law Department and the Upper Law Department study.  When the two passed by the battle room, the sound of metal collision slowed them down.  The strongest diamond stone is used here to inlay, and iron slurry is poured into the gaps. Even a siege crossbow can only knock down a few layers of fragments.  In the room prepared to withstand the damage of the spell, there were only three people fighting with long swords, which seemed out of place with the song tower.  Because the Song Tower prohibits the carrying of weapons, the first goal of the three virtue knights from the Knights Guild after entering the Ministry of Outer Law was to use magic to make metal weapons. It took four months for them to achieve the results.  The only difference from the blacksmith's product is that it has the permission of Master Ye Phosphorus.  The three knights never slacked off in practicing their martial arts, and even came every day after getting the weapons.  More than half of the apprentices gathered here, staring intently at the intricate steps and sword flashes of the two combatants, but that was not what they were waiting for.  One of the knights jumped back and exited the battle circle, leaving his free hand to change gestures and speak awkward syllables.  The apprentices held their breath as they saw a flash of fire on the blade, but another knight quickly rushed forward to interrupt the chanting and grabbed his opponent's throat.  Cod and everyone else looked disappointed. There were only a handful of opportunities for apprentices to see real magic. Any flash of light or transformation would make them excited.  "It's still too slow and cannot be applied in actual combat." "It is not suitable for individual combat. There should be a coverer" The three knights discussed their magic combat, and one of them smiled and shouted to the apprentices:  "You are going to be late, do you still want to go hungry?" Cod and everyone dispersed in a hurry, arguing with each other after reminiscing about the scene just now, until they grouped up again in the illusion corridor.  There are ten paths in the large classroom of Songta. If you want to enter the classroom, you must first complete the "after-class acceptance".  Pooh and Codd watched hundreds of illusion characters and graphics floating and swimming like tadpoles outside the classroom door, dragging and pulling them with their fingers excitedly.  "It's so beautiful Well, Pooh." Code suddenly said to Pooh, "I apologize to you for what happened just now." "Huh?" The girl was stunned.  "A gentleman cannot speak dirty words to a lady, I'm sorry." "So?" Coder said: "This is yesterday's spell analysis class. If we work on our own things, we will definitely be late. Divide the work and cooperate. You are responsible for the first half.  My lower half, same as???  "    "OK.  "Pooh agreed with some ease. Not everyone can be responsible for their words. Growing up in a harsh environment, she especially understands how rare it is to be sincerely sorry. Pooh picked the characters and spelled them into sections, and then  Translate according to the dragon language grammar. Halfway through, Cod came over and looked through it carefully. "There are grammatical ambiguities here.  "    "Oh, thank you.  Pooh frowned and checked it twice, "Where did you just say" She turned around and asked, and saw Coder copying her answer and quickly filling in the first half of the spell, spelling it out into a complete answer, and then opened the door and ducked out.  Enter. He smiled maliciously before closing the door. "Do you really think you are qualified to be called a lady? If you are stupid, leave the song tower as soon as possible!"  "The boy slammed the door hard, and the spells scattered and refreshed, reflecting Pooh's lonely back. (To be continued.) ps: A certain Yanyu won't let me recommend the chapter, so I won't mention the novel and tell everyone about the author of Red Robe.  Mr. Fish has dug a new hole. I wish everyone a happy April Fool¡¯s Day
