Two days later.
Norris and Grimm flew away from the balloon airship. On the flat land in the distance, a moon-shaped, sparkling lake quietly flowed with warm water, like a mother giving birth to a new life.
"So prosperous, but also … so peaceful?" Grimm was a little surprised.
On the bank of the Moon Lake, above a city that looked like a bright pearl, flying caravans came and went in an endless stream. The birds rose and fell, gathered and scattered, again and again carrying the goods on their bodies to the destination.
And the goods provided by these birds were probably some luxury goods that couldn't be stored for a long time.
In the center of this city, there was a majestic building similar to the height of the Black Iso Tower, but there was no spire at the top. Instead, there was a huge cylindrical platform, on which hundreds of figures were orderly lined up. More than a dozen balloon airships anchored around this building were busy transporting guests, most of whom were ordinary sorcerer-apprentices, merchants, and even some knights. Occasionally, there was also a group of adventurers and scholars.
After a short while, a balloon airship left with a full load, and at the same time, a new balloon airship flew over from afar.
It seemed that balloon airships had become a common means of transportation in the central prosperous area of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
Not only the commercial exchange development structure, but also the architectural structure of this city was very different from that of the regional colleges.
There were no towering city walls or watchtowers in this city. There were only castles, manors, and densely packed white marble buildings scattered around the city center in an orderly manner. Sorcerer-Apprentices wearing magic robes could be seen on the streets at any time. Sorcerers seemed to have blended in with the common people here. There were no obvious class characteristics or mysteriousness.
Beside a winding river, Norris and Grimm landed on a clean bluestone ground.
A few water birds were playing in the river. A light breeze blew, blowing up little ripples. Norris and Grimm couldn't help but close their eyes in satisfaction, their robes rustling with the light breeze. Under the cool feeling, they silently enjoyed this moment of harmony that belonged to this sorcerer civilization in this human area.
"Every time I come here, I feel much better," Norris suddenly said to Grimm.
Grimm nodded and said softly, "The beautiful environment here, the peaceful atmosphere, elegant and noble. It is indeed more soothing and harmonious than the regional academy. It is suitable for Arcane Sorcerers to explore the truth and knowledge in peace."
Beside them, several civilians respectfully bowed and nodded to Norris and Grimm, and then left as if they were used to it. Several children, who were still playing with split pants, stared at Grimm and Norris with wide eyes, not showing the slightest timidity because of Norris's terrifying face.
The cultural environment here was indeed much more beautiful and harmonious than that of the regional colleges. It was also much more open and bright.
There was less cruelty, violence, and fighting, and more calmness, solemnity, and peace.
"Let's go. I haven't seen this old man for decades. I wonder what he's been researching recently. This time, heh heh heh … we must give him a 'surprise', a big surprise! " Norris said with an evil smile. After covering his face with a layer of black mist, he walked in the front, leading Grimm to the center of this bustling city.
Along the way, Grimm's eyes were dazzled, and he could not take it all in.
Magic lamps, photographic crystal balls, body cleaning powder, and even some simple sorcerer potions and sorcerer's food had become civilian goods. They were neatly placed in some shops, clearly marked with the price of magic stones.
In a pet shop, several colorful parrots were placed in the most conspicuous position. There were also all kinds of strange creatures in the shop. It had become a dating place for many boys and girls who had just experienced the first awakening of love.
In a romantic bar at midnight, girls dressed as bunny girls and cat girls made all kinds of cute poses. They even used some simple sorcerer props to set off the atmosphere. A bold snake girl even blew a bubble at Grimm.
Even …
Glenn also discovered a shop selling Cupid Vials, but at this time, in addition to the Cupid Vials fragrance, there were also many other types of fragrances and perfumes scattered around the shop, even the names were strange and full of a romantic and warm atmosphere.
On a large open-air stage, some scenes from novels and biographies were being played. A large number of men and women surrounded the stage and applauded excitedly. Among them, there were even some sorcerer-apprentices wearing sorcerer robes and knights carrying large swords on their backs. Everyone was completely immersed in the plot of the stage play, unable to extricate themselves.
In a towering and majestic huge building, knights, sorcerer-apprentices, and even formal sorcerers came and went, looking at the mission scrolls hanging high on the wall. From time to time, they would discuss something in twos and threes.
It seemed that if the commoners here spent magic stones, they could easily hire some sorcerer-apprentices or even formal sorcerers to complete their missions and fulfill their wishes.
In the whole city, the sorcerer civilization and the common people's life had been perfectly integrated, harmonious and comfortable.
"Grimm, when you go to that old guy, don't ever mention the matter of you Secluded Spring, hehe …" Norris suddenly said with a sharp smile.
Grimm was a little surprised. He nodded absentmindedly and replied, "I know."
Grimm guessed that something must have happened between Norris and that "old friend" of his because of Sister Roland, and Norris took advantage of her.
From his smirk, he knew …
A white marble castle with a height of 70 or 80 meters appeared in front of Grimm's eyes. The courtyard in front of the castle was an undulating green meadow. Bright and warm sunshine sprinkled on it. Occasionally, one or two butterflies would fly over it. There was no thick wall around the castle to block people's sight. There were only flowerbeds full of flowers for passersby to enjoy through the fence, showing the high degree of mutual prosperity and openness of the people here.
Norris brought Grimm to the iron fence gate, took out a crystal ball, and circulated his magic.
A moment later, an ugly face that also looked like a sutured ball appeared on the crystal ball!
"Hey, little brother, your brother is here to see you. Quickly come down and open the door." Norris directly said such a sentence while Grimm's jaw was about to drop to the ground.
Uh …
The so-called friend of Norris turned out to be his brother?
The other ugly face in the crystal ball was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound behind him, as if something had broken. At the same time, there was the naughty laughter of a young girl.
"Oh, damn it. Barbara, be quiet for a while. Don't make trouble at this time." It seemed that this crisp sound had awakened the old sorcerer from his astonishment. The old sorcerer in the crystal ball shouted behind him, then turned his head and shouted at Norris while blowing his beard and glaring at him, "Don't be complacent, Third Brother! I will win those plane fish back sooner or later, you robber, liar! "
Grimm's face darkened. It seemed that the matter between Norris and his brother was a bit deep.
"Hehe! Little brother, you said that to me, I am very sad. Say, we made a bet at the beginning, and you also agreed to it. How can you say that I stole your plane fish now? Not only will I be sad, but Garnigel will also be sad. "Norris's tone at this time was simply" cheap "to the extreme.
"Ah! Bastard, don't mention that hateful Black Cat to me! You two are liars, both liars, not a good thing! "The old sorcerer on the other side of the crystal ball almost jumped up, pointing at Norris and roaring.
Puff …
The crystal ball closed.
Norris turned around, just in time to see Grimm staring at him dumbfoundedly. With a burst of gloomy and evil smile, he walked to Grimm's side and said, "You go stand over there."
Eh?
Grimm didn't dare to disobey Norris's order, and walked to the designated position. Subsequently, Norris didn't know what kind of witchcraft, but Grimm unexpectedly began to gradually shrink. After a few breaths, he became a small person only the height of a little finger, standing on the bluestone floor in astonishment.
However, Grimm didn't panic.
This witchcraft seemed to be some kind of deep application of space power, as if at this moment Grimm was in a kind of "half-sealed" state.
Norris bent down to take Grimm in his hand, withdrew it into his sleeve, and just waited in the same place.
A moment later.
After the castle's wooden gate slowly opened with a "creak", an old sorcerer wearing a white robe holding a magic staff walked through the grass. The stitched skin on his face was exactly the same as Norris's. After the sorcerer opened the iron gate, Norris walked into the courtyard with an excited expression.
"Haha, junior, I haven't seen you for several decades. The seven-flavored fruit tree in your manor has flourished a lot," Norris suddenly said.
The white-robed sorcerer snorted and glared at Norris, saying, "Don't even think about taking it."
Saying this, the white-robed old wizard was about to lead Norris into the castle, but Norris said with a smile, "Hey, what's going on? Oh, right, junior, didn't you find another disciple sixty years ago? Why don't I see him this time? "
"What do you want?" The white-robed sorcerer vigilantly looked at Norris.
That expression was simply a helpless beauty guarding against the prying eyes of a pervert.
Norris frowned while shaking his head and sighed, saying, "Hey … junior, why are you like this again? What else can I do as a senior? I just saw that you accepted another disciple, and one with extremely good aptitude. I also sent a gift sixty years ago, so I congratulate you for finally winning back our bet. Isn't this just right, I've also tasted the plane fish, it's time to return it to you … "
Norris's tone was very much like an old sorcerer who had been misunderstood and looked at life lightly.
The white-robed sorcerer opened his mouth and pointed at Norris, half believing and half doubting, looking at him for a long time. He said in astonishment, "Then why don't you …"
"You see, you see, you see!" Norris had an expression of hating his junior for not being capable. He pointed at the white-robed sorcerer and said, "You want your senior to directly return it to you empty-handed? Is that returning? That's giving! Do you, as a junior, need me to return those plane fish that originally belonged to you? Of course not … "
In Norris's sleeve, Grimm almost laughed out loud, using all his strength to cover his mouth.
The white-robed sorcerer clenched his teeth, his eyelids twitching, and said, "Then you mean …"
Norris's expression became solemn. "Sign a contract, it's still the same contract as last time. Let my disciple and your disciple have a match. Then I can rightfully return the plane fish to you, right?"
"Contract! This again! Let me tell you … "
The white-robed sorcerer was about to jump up on the spot, but he was stopped by Norris. Norris squeezed his brows and glared as he said in a low voice, "My disciple was accepted in front of your eyes. Don't tell me you don't even have this little bit of confidence in your disciple?"
Varro!?
The white-robed sorcerer seemed to have thought of something. His eyes brightened, and his spirit was roused!
The white-robed sorcerer looked at Norris in astonishment. He knew Varro's meager prospects. Wanting to fight with his own disciple, in his dreams … This was simply giving it away for free!
Haha!
The white-robed sorcerer relaxed his heart, secretly laughing with joy in his heart. He shot a glance at the affectionate Norris at his side, looking at Norris with satisfaction as he said, "Third senior, I didn't expect your temperament to change a lot these years."
In a flash, even the way he addressed Norris had changed to third senior.
Norris smiled in embarrassment and disappointment. He didn't say anything, unexpectedly looking like he had been misunderstood for many years. He sighed in disappointment.
That expression was even more perfect than Grimm's camouflage technique.
A moment later, an equal contract was signed. The white-robed sorcerer's wager was that seven-flavored fruit tree, while Norris's wager was twenty-seven plane fish. Following that, the faces under the loose robes of both sides secretly revealed excited smiles, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.
