The Northern Tower.
The ice on the river was already very thick. Some children in the north cut through the ice to fish. When they caught something, they would take it back and roast it. Children at this age were more gluttonous. However, they did not dare to get close to the tower. It was a forbidden area for others. They had been warned by their parents not to disturb the mysterious Northern Witches. Occasionally, they would look in that direction with envious gazes, hoping that they would one day become a powerful adept.
Gloria was buried in a pile of notes and books. In front of her were dense text symbols.
She had been in the laboratory for three days. Occasionally, she would sleep here when she was tired. From time to time, she would go to see Vivian's situation. She was ready to break through to the legendary level of the Northern Witch. During this time, she had begun to explore deeper into the Magic Network and study the ninth circle high-level spells. If she successfully completed a ninth circle spell, she would enter the realm of quasi-legendary. As long as she was given a little more time, she would steadily be promoted to the level of a legendary witch.
Suddenly!
Gloria seemed to feel something. She raised her head from the tall pile of books, reached out to take off her crystal glasses, and frowned as she glanced outside. Her eyesight was actually very good, but she would wear delicate silver-rimmed crystal glasses when she was researching spells. This was an extraordinary level enchanted tool that could help her study spell models.
Gloria seemed to feel something. She stood up excitedly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Vivian!"
She looked at the little girl who had just opened her eyes in surprise. Because she had slept for too long, she was still a little confused. She rubbed her eyes with her little white hands, and then said half-awake, "Sister Gloria? Did I sleep for a long time? Why do I feel a little dizzy? "
Gloria hugged the little Vivian, leaned over and kissed her forehead. Then she slowly said, "You have been in a coma for almost half a month!"
"Brother!" The little girl seemed to remember something and said in a panic, "Where is brother? Isn't he here? "
Gloria fell silent. She raised her fingers and ran them through her long hair. There were strands of silver in it. She murmured, "Søren got separated from us. But he should be fine. You don't have to worry too much. "
Vivian fell silent.
Then, the little girl looked up at Gloria and said doubtfully, "That's not right! I just saw Big Brother! "
Hmm?
This answer puzzled Gloria. She frowned and asked, "You saw Søren? Here? Impossible! This entire tower is under my detection. If Søren is here, there's no way I wouldn't know! "
He seemed to have thought of something.
Gloria's face suddenly turned slightly pale, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.
Was Søren really dead?
If he was a spirit, it was possible that she didn't notice him. Could it be that Søren's ghost had appeared here for a moment because of his strong obsession?
Gloria tightly hugged Vivian in front of her. She suddenly felt that her nose was a little sore, and she felt inexplicably sad.
She didn't know why, but recently, she would occasionally think of the man named Søren.
As a noble Northern Witch, she rarely thought of anyone on her own initiative. Even if it was her mother, she only thought of them occasionally. Now, she thought of a man every few days and worried about whether he had survived or not. Gloria's heart was a little unclear. This was not the love that ordinary people spoke of, but it did not seem to be a simple friendship either. She actually remembered that man, as if he was a family member that she had known for a long time and had been with for a long time.
"Was it a dream?" The little girl rubbed her head and said to herself, "I seem to have had a lot of dreams!"
These words were like spring returning to the earth, and Gloria was inexplicably happy again. She was a little annoyed as she bumped Vivian's little head with her forehead, and then asked, "What did you dream of?"
The little girl closed her eyes and recalled for a moment, then murmured, "I dreamed of a lot, and a lot of scary things!"
"There was fire and blood everywhere! They were near me, but I wasn't afraid of them, because as long as I wasn't afraid of them, they couldn't get close to me. … I also dreamed of a very scary person! … He seemed to be my father! … No! … No! … He's not my father, he's a very powerful and terrible thing! … I don't know what it is! … "
"He kept telling me to be obedient! … He wanted me to submit to him! … There seemed to be another voice! … I don't know who it was! … She said she was me, and her name was Lillian! … "
"I won't submit to them! … I'm Vivian! … I'm my brother's Vivian! … "
"Brother!!! … "
"Right! … I also dreamed of my brother! … He had a lot of injuries on his body! … My heart ached when I saw him! … I couldn't stop my tears! … I desperately called out to him! … But my brother didn't seem to hear me! … "
The little girl's voice trembled slightly, and Gloria could not help but feel her heart clench, because she knew that this might not be just a dream.
Vivian closed her eyes, and there was a trace of sparkling tears at the corner of her eyes. She murmured, "Brother seemed to have walked a lot. He seemed to have come from a very, very far away place. His injuries were very serious, and he looked very tired. I don't know how long he had been walking. Suddenly, he walked past me one day, and I still desperately called out to him, but my brother didn't seem to hear me. "
"The ground he walked on was covered with ice and snow. I saw the ground under my brother's feet freeze into ice, and it suddenly became very cold!"
"I was so cold that I was shivering, and my tears were about to freeze."
"Brother's body was covered with ice and frost, and the ground he walked on was frozen. The howling cold wind caused heavy snow to fall. The cold wind and snow extinguished the flames, and all the blood was frozen into ice. My brother looked very tired, but he didn't stop walking. He didn't hear my voice either. He just kept walking forward, getting closer and closer. Finally, he arrived in front of the monsters and demons! … "
"Brother pulled out his sword! … Those monsters that got close to him were all frozen into ice sculptures! … "
"Brother killed those demons! … He kept walking forward! … Then, he walked to the front of that terrifying monster! … I heard the monster's roar, and I felt very scared! … But brother kept walking forward! … He still didn't stop! … He just walked to the front of that monster, and then cut off its head with one swing of his sword! … "
"I felt the whole world shaking, and many things were shaking. Brother didn't seem to hear me, and he just disappeared! … "
"And then …" Vivian raised her little head and murmured, "And then I woke up."
"Sister Gloria? … "
"Big Brother, did you kill those demons and save me? … I feel like brother must know that Vivian is trapped there! … Then, he walked a very, very long way to save me! … Although he couldn't hear my voice, I feel like brother knows that I'm here! … Right! Before brother disappeared, he looked at me! … "
"He smiled."
"He seemed to want to say something, but before he could say anything, he disappeared! … "
Gloria fell silent. She lowered her head and kissed Vivian. As if she was relieved, she murmured, "Yes, Vivian. It should be Søren who came to save you. "
"He should be fine. He's still alive. A man who could make me pay such a high price for a divination wouldn't die so quietly! … "
Gloria's voice became softer and softer, and in the end, it was almost inaudible.
Vivian raised her little head and looked at Gloria with her beautiful big eyes. Then, she stretched out her little hands and hugged her, burying her little head into her chest. She rubbed her head like a little puppy and murmured, "Sister Gloria!"
"Sometimes, I feel like you're very much like my mother. Even the smell is very similar."
Pfft!
Gloria couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She opened her mouth and bit Vivian's tender little face. She muttered, "Mischievous girl! … I'm not that old! … Call me sister, don't call me mother! … "
"Oh." Vivian shrank her head and murmured, "Don't bite people! … Brother said that only little dogs bite people! … "
Outside the tower.
The cold wind was still howling, but it seemed that the coldest time had passed.
What they needed to do now was to wait for the arrival of spring.
That was the hope of life!
