    At first, it was just a little lonely in the dark.  With the sigh from the goddess's lips, light emerged from the void, and the brilliant sparks floated like sleepwalking, but his light could only illuminate itself.  Still lonely.  The spark expanded its emptiness, growing larger and larger until it became a rising sun.  The rising sun spreads its light joyfully, and the overflowing light flakes turned into the earth, and the creatures that emerged from the ground worshiped the rising sun.  He was so happy that he came too close to the earth, but the creatures fled in fear.  He thought his work was not good enough, so he tried his best to inflate it, and the blazing sun lit up the sky.  The earth turned into a desert, and the creatures fled in all directions, turning into smoke and dust without a cry.  The goddess sighed again, the earth cracked, clear springs rose into the sky, spiraling up, clear and bright, the light of the scorching sun was washed away, mixed into vast stardust, everything returned to nothingness "Papa papa!" Warm applause broke up.  He broke out of the darkness and brought the two stunned apprentices back to their senses.  The "goddess", Mrs. Scindia, had a smile on her lips, pulled up one skirt corner with her thumb and index finger, crossed her knees and saluted the three audience members, as gracefully as if she were on a theater stage.  "Excellent! Mrs. Scindia, what a wonderful art!" The cheering middle-aged man clapped his hands red and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm.  He praised the female artist in a sincere tone, and the latter was reserved and modest. However, both children found that Mrs. Scindia would always fiddle with her hair in a coquettish way every time she heard a compliment, letting her pride flow along the wavy tips of her hair.  Revealed.  The person applauding is the last of the six people left in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In terms of status, he is a businessman, the most qualified businessman in Essien.  Pooh spent some time trying to find out what kind of business Mr. Merchant was engaged in. Later he found that he had asked the wrong question. It should be said that he had any business that he had not done.  He was the leader of the chambers of commerce in three industries: mining, papermaking, and transportation. He also had vague traces in other fields.  Mr. Merchant only has a knighthood, but he is the guest of all the nobles in Essien.  The cost for this visionary businessman to enter the Song Tower is also shocking. The land where the Chord of Life is located belongs to him, and the nearby manor buildings were donated to Master Ye Phosphorus.  "This is the finale of the next banquet, right? Am I qualified to know its name?" ""Rip Tide."" Mrs. Scindia spit out the name, but turned her head to look at the two apprentices, showing a faint smile.  A subtle expression of non-smile.  "You know, there is a long-term drought in the south of Essien. I wish the clear springs will never dry up" "Free people thousands of miles away will also be moved by the lady's kindness." "This inspiration comes from a book, what is it called?  , I can't find the secret method. Children, help me clean up the room next time." Coder took a step forward, "I'm from the south, madam" "Madam, we should make gestures.  Practice pronunciation." Pooh interrupted.  Mrs. Sindia pursed her lips, showing playful grievance.  "Oh my, Pooh is such a serious little fortune-teller." "Little Cod is so cute: "Ignore her, Madam! Pooh was punished by Mina to fast again today." "Little Cod is so cute.  ." Mrs. Sindia poked Codd's forehead with her fingers, and the boy turned red from his neck to his earlobes.  "But your mentor, haha." She showed a contemptuous sneer, "She is really a person who has completely deprived the mystique of the life master!" Everyone in the tower knows that Xin loves luxury and enjoyment.  Mrs. Dia and the harsh and mean mentor Mina represent the two extremes of women, and they had fierce conflicts over the living conditions in the tower.  The businessman interrupted at the right time to prevent her from saying anything more unpleasant.  "You guys start practicing. It just so happens that I'm not good at learning so I can watch." The female artist smiled and said to the businessman: "But my spell slot is empty today." She counted on her fingers, "Three [magic tricks], two  A [Dancing Lights Technique], a [Phantom Sound Technique] and a [Silent Phantom], you just saw them all. The light color of the Dancing Lights Technique is too monotonous, and the effect of the magic trick is too thin to reflect the complexity of the picture.  It's like an unqualified paint brush, causing me to consume several more every day." "Your spending is not wise. In terms of goods, the spells provided by the tower owner are still operating in debt. Do you understand the term debt ratio?  "Yes, madam?" "I'm not very clear about numbers." "Based on the unit price of each spell, we are at a loss, but the cost is diluted when the service life of the Ministry of External Affairs is taken into account."  Pooh found it harsh and unbearable, so he turned around and left.  Coder shouted angrily and asked: "You didn't say goodbye, where are you going?" "Dispose of the elk skin you found for me." Female? said in a low voice.  The specialty fish of Jinxue River is only available during those few days in autumn every year. Fishermen use the softest nets to catch it, without even daring to damage a single scale.  Its oil is boiled and purified, and it is a strong spice. A cup the size of a cherry is enough for farmers to earn a year's income.  In front of Pooh, there was a whole basin.  The sweet smell of fish oil is so strong that it makes people sick.  The girl endured and repeatedly tanned a palm-sized piece of cow elk belly skin with oil. Essien only produced two hundred top-quality elk skins every year. Only this kind of material could be combined with fish oil to become extremely tough and soft.  Every piece of tanned leather is the best catalyst for casting [Mage Armor]. The strength of the force field shield is closely related to the deerskin.  The girl was in a bad mood and was wearing a deerskin. She clearly knew the pronunciation of the seven-section incantation of this spell, the four stages of gesture changes, and the degree of catalyst tanning, but she had never had the opportunity to use it.  The only time she had ever seen him was during a spell sparring session between three knights, and she would never forget the bright sparks that erupted from the sword blades and the force field.  Let the fragile fight against steel!  But Pooh may still need two years of study before he can try to touch the magic network.  There were so many things to learn during this period, including enduring hunger, whipping, and loneliness, not to mention the dangerous experiments that would lead to maiming and disfigurement in the future. After all of this, what flowed out from her fingertips was art, not Mrs. Sindia's squandering of spells.  Children's drawings!  With a click, she realized that she had torn the elk skin in her excitement.  She sighed and put the two hundred pounds' worth of wheat scraps aside.  The people in the basement were pushed away, and a head with wild hair like a bird's nest was poked in, choked by the sweet smell of fish oil.  "Ah, cough, you're dealing with tanning products again. Wasn't it you last week? Where's Cod?" Aston looked around.  Pooh stood up: "He didn't dare to touch the fish oil. Tutor Aston,what are you looking for?" The scholar scratched his hair, dandruff was everywhere.  "There is a book called "High-Level Secret Art Creation". Don't apprentices love to read these weird magical alchemy products?" The girl thought for a while, "I have never seen this book, maybe others know about it."  "Okay, I'll look for it again" Seeing him turning around and about to close the door, Pooh suddenly said: "Tutor, I have some questions to ask." Aston was very happy to hear this, came in and sat down and said, "Okay, yes  Ancient history or linguistics." The girl opened and closed her mouth, but she couldn't help but ask, "Why do we want to recruit gentlemen and ladies from the Ministry of Law?" She only dared to question the rules of the song tower with Aston.  the instructor said.  The unanimous evaluation of this man in the tower is: a giant in the world of knowledge and a dwarf in communication.  With his head that can copy the entire library, it is difficult for him to understand other people's tactful words and hints, so he has to be more direct in everything he says. Fortunately, he never gets angry.  Mrs. Scindia said that Mentor Mina was not as mysterious as a master of destiny, and so was this one.  Pooh told what happened that night, "Knights use magic as swords, generals as tools of war, artists' brushes and merchants' goods. Magic seems to have no effect on them, just replacing it with a novel object, continuing the original  The girl rubbed her hands anxiously, "That shouldn't be the case. Why don't they feel the meaning of magic? Then who are we, the providers of brushes and goods? Every time I see them talking about it unscrupulously.  Magic, I feel anxious, as if someone is feeding the cattle with a magic medicine that can cure all diseases, and proudly shows that the efficiency of the cattle plowing has improved! I can't stand their" A stream of  Suppressed anger welled up in her throat, but she couldn't find the right words to vent it, which made her even more irritated.  Aston spit out one word: "Ignorance." "Yes! That's it!" Pooh felt relieved. She didn't expect that scholars can also be understanding.  Aston clucked: "The tower master's seed has sprouted" "What did you say?" "Indulge the master's self-esteem. When they abused magic wantonly, they scratched your self-esteem, so you feel uncomfortable." "But.  I'm just an apprentice." "But you have the heart of a master. Pooh, what do you think magic is to you?" Pooh racked his brains, what is it?  miracle?  Gift?  The path to success or the key to a wealthy family?  The scholar said: "The difference between the upper Dharma Ministry and the outer Dharma Ministry is that magic makes their lives more exciting, but for you, it is the long knife that cuts off the shackles of fate, the road, the goal and everything." The girl nodded vigorously,  I feel like it couldn't be more correct.  "As for your question, what kind of people do you want to be?" The scholar scratched his head, "I'm not sure.??If you want to say something nice, just quote the original text of the tower owner.  " He coughed and said in an exaggerated and impassioned tone, "The mark leading to the magic palace has stepped through the darkness of the world and turned into stars!  "He pointed to the distance, without any momentum at all, acting like a clown in the troupe. But Pooh's eyes were misty and he murmured: "The stars" The scholar went to look for books elsewhere, but Pooh was still savoring his last few moments.  A word. Stars, what a beautiful description. After finishing the tanning work, she remembered a song tower pipeline drawing that the general asked her to hand over to Corder. There was no one in Corder's room, and Winnie went up to the third floor and sat in front of Mrs. Sindia.  Outside the door, she hesitated whether to go in. She sighed and crumpled the drawing. She didn't want to lose her stars, nor did she want to take someone else's. The door was ajar, and she suddenly heard Kodra's loud voice:  ¡°Because of this, there is an endless supply of pure water that will never be used up.  " "How beautiful.  "The artist's hoarse magnetic voice was so deep that Pooh had no choice but to stick to the crack of the door and eavesdrop. "Corder, I want to see it.  "The boy hesitated: "But, there is a spell lock on the door, and the things in the tower are touched" "I just want to take a look and perfect the performance of "Riptide", and send it back after watching it.  Or are you unwilling to do it for me, little Cod" Pooh opened the door suddenly, startling the two people in the room. Cod was holding a thick-covered and wide-backed book, pointing at  A picture on a certain page. The boy hid the book behind his back, and his timidity turned to anger, "Are you really uneducated? You didn't even knock on the doorah!  How dare you bring the smell of fish oil into the house and get out.  "Corder became angry and grabbed Pooh by the collar and threw him out of the house. He was so hard that Pooh fell to the ground and the paper ball in his hand fell. "What is this?  "Corder picked it up and took a look. His face was green and white, and he gritted his teeth: "You despicable thief!  This is my thing.  " He gasped and looked at Pooh. The boy's eyes were full of shame and anger at having his secret peeped, and he was very simple, while the girl was much more complicated, but not timid. "Corder first moved his eyes away and looked into the room.  Say, ¡°I¡¯ll get it.  "He walked away with his head held high." Pooh was stunned. The friendship and goodwill she tried to build collapsed again on this day. Some people's stars are just to cover up the light of others. "Tsk, tsk, what a pitiful face."  Mrs. Scindia came out dragging her nightgown, half exposed, with a frivolous look in her eyes. "What an innocent look, it reminds me of my childhood. My ignorant eyes and innocent expression will always be a girl's shield."  "    "what did you say?  " "Nothing, my little smart man.  You and I didn't see or hear what happened tonight. The trouble is all the boys', okay, girls' secrets?  "She stretched out her index finger. Pooh hesitated and extended her finger to hook it. Mrs. Sindia's smile was like a rose, gorgeous and mysterious. Pooh returned to the room, sleepy and hungry, but something made her uneasy.  She forced herself to sleep, and the dream was very chaotic, with scattered fragments floating up and down. In the dream, the general's hollow voice said: "The pipe drawing of the song tower."  Cod came to me for advice the day before yesterday. He suddenly became interested in architecture" Cod appeared again and said proudly in a sharp voice: "The water of Jinxue River has the astringency of rocks, but the water in the tower has nothing. It is pure.  Great, it means we are using a separate water source" Mrs. Scindia smiled dangerously: "I just want to take a look and perfect the performance of "Rapid Water", and send it back after watching it" The night passed.  ! The door was ringing. Pooh turned over tiredly and painfully, his stomach rumbling after being idle for a day. The expression of the apprentice outside the door was mixed with excitement and worry: "Come out, something happened in the tower!"  "
