It was already dusk when the convoy arrived at the Tower of Destiny.
The lonely Dragon Bone Wilderness is full of scattered giant rocks, grass and broken bones, and amidst the desolate howls of monsters, the Tower of Destiny stands alone in the center of the wilderness.
Under the command of the dark witch, all the witch apprentices got off the carriage and lined up in front of the tower gate, waiting for the tower master to receive them.
And Erica is undoubtedly one of the uneasy people. When she thinks about spending the next days in such a desolate tower, with only the crazy monsters outside and her "partners" with ulterior motives beside her, Ellie
Ka's body couldn't help but start to tremble.
"Don't worry, everything will get better!" Freya stood beside her, gently held Erica's hand, and comforted her in a low voice.
Erica gave her a reluctant smile.
Erica could feel that Freya's little hands were also cold.
It seems that the other party's heart is not as calm and calm as her appearance!
The tower door finally opened slowly.
The soft and bright light from the door projected out and fell on everyone, immediately bringing a strong sense of warmth to everyone.
Then a slender and tall figure appeared in the door, with the light behind him, silently scanning the crowd.
"Since everyone is here, come in and take a rest! I'm sorry for your trouble this time!"
The voice is very soft and sweet, and it seems that he is not very old.
The dark witch leading the team stood silently in the darkness and said coldly: "Lord Alice, the seven apprentices promised by our dark witch family have been delivered, and I will not stay. Farewell!"
After saying that, without even entering the tower gate, he turned around and drove the carriage with his entourage into the darkness.
The Dragonbone Wilderness at night was not peaceful. If they broke out like this, they would surely suffer considerable losses. However, the Dark Witch's attitude was resolute enough and she did not seem to want to have too much contact with Alice.
Alice stared at the retreating motorcade from a distance, with a vague smile on her face. She turned sideways and said to the remaining seven Erica: "Come in!"
Everyone bowed and saluted, knowing in their hearts that this was the person in charge of their future - Alice, the leader of the Witch of Destiny.
The witch apprentices struggled to carry their heavy boxes, carefully walked past the Alice witch, and entered the bright and warm tower door.
Erica fell at the end and was the last apprentice to enter the tower.
When she passed by Witch Alice, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and take a peek at the legendary Witch of Destiny.
This is a young and beautiful witch whose face is far more delicate and perfect than other witches Erica has ever seen. She has long silver shawl hair, smooth and shiny hair, greasy white and crystal-clear skin, long and narrow eyes, and clear blue pupils.
, wearing a purple robe decorated with sun, moon, stars and witchcraft runes.
And the other party was looking at Erica silently and tenderly.
The eyes of the two parties collided slightly, and Erica immediately shrank her head and neck in fear, holding the handle of the old suitcase tightly with both hands, and followed her companion obediently, no longer daring to look around.
Seeing the other person's timid appearance, Alice couldn't help but sigh.
She actually knew this Erica.
More than ten years ago, they were the same batch of apprentices who entered the Dark Witch Tower and spent 2 years together. Later, Grandma Endor needed to be stationed in Tallinn, so she sent Alice to Fanny, a medium-sized wizard organization in the middle of the continent.
The cabin was given to the female wizard Deborah.
Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, Erica has only climbed to the level of an intermediate apprentice, while she... is already the leader of the Witch of Destiny.
The difference in situation is no longer enough to be described as magical!
Seeing the seven witch apprentices filing into the tower, Alice couldn't help but frown.
The talents and potential of most of the members are very poor, but there are one or two among them who are so talented that it makes you doubt your own eyes.
It can be seen from the attitude of the dark witch towards her just now that the dark witches no longer regard her as someone they can get close to. According to Alice's original estimation, the mission of escorting the witch apprentice should have come this time.
It's Grandma Endo.
But Grandma Endo didn't come. Instead, a strange witch came who was extremely unfriendly to me. There was obviously some hidden secret that she didn't know about!
After the witch apprentices stepped into the door, they were immediately stunned by what they saw!
The neat and bright witchcraft hall, the spotless smooth floor, the lighting crystals embedded in the stone walls that exude a soft and bright luster, plus...
In the center of the hall was a sturdy long table, filled with a variety of dishes and drinks. Pan-fried veal kidneys, quail stuffed with spices and fruits, and lark and partridge meat.
Meat puff pastry, beef cooked with wine and onions, dormouse soaked in honey...the fragrant delicacies emitting steaming hot smoke aroused the gluttons in everyone's stomachs.
The witch apprentices, who were already hungry, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The apprentices couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of doubts. I heard that this place had only been opened for two days, how could it be possible to recover so quickly? They were the first batch of apprentices to rush to the tower! Could it be that in the past two days, it had been so fast?
An Alice witch actually organized this hall by herself?
"Eat first!" Alice's voice still sounded so gentle and peaceful: "The accommodation has been prepared for you. You just need to eat, drink and rest today. I will naturally assign all the specific matters to you tomorrow. After eating, follow this guard
Just leave, it will take you to your respective residences."
What Alice was talking about was an armored guard standing in the corner of the hall.
When it stood there motionless, it looked like a full set of metal armor put out by a noble family to show off their bravery. However, the witch apprentices knew very well that this activated armor made of magic-weary metal had no less than
With the strength of the trainee witches, it is no problem to crush a group of intermediate and advanced apprentices like them.
After saying that, Alice went away on her own.
Soon, only the newcomers, a table of delicious food, and a frozen armored guard were left in this huge witchcraft hall.
Everyone hesitated for a moment with big eyes and small eyes. Freya and another high-level apprentice stood up and whispered: "Everyone has traveled such a long way, so we should follow Lady Alice's instructions to eat first and then rest.
Let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about anything else!”
Everyone has actually been waiting for this order for a long time!
After hearing Freya's words, everyone immediately swarmed up, took a seat at the dining table, and started eating and drinking hard.
To be honest, before coming here, everyone had already made up their mind to work hard here for several years.
After all, a witchcraft tower has been silent and closed for thousands of years. The witchcraft facilities inside must have been damaged to some extent, and the materials and resources needed for living and learning must also be extremely scarce. So let alone snacks, they are just tents for sleeping.
They were all stuffed into wooden boxes and brought over.
But when they first arrived, their first impression of the Tower of Destiny and Lady Alice was definitely different from what they imagined, even completely opposite.
This makes everyone want to explore this mysterious tower of destiny as soon as possible!
…………
The twelfth floor of the Destiny Witch Tower.
Alice was standing with Xue Fu in front of a huge water mirror, silently examining the few witch apprentices who were devouring food in the hall on the first floor.
"This... and this..." Xue Fu tapped her green and white fingers, and circled two somewhat distinctive female apprentices in the water mirror: "They are both different from others! They are too talented.
That’s right...Are you sure it’s not the kindness shown to you by the dark witches?”
"I'm sure!" Alice gently raised her curly black eyelashes, revealing the beautiful aqua blue pupils inside. But at this moment, the playfulness and warmth inside were no longer there, replaced by a touch of indifference and vagueness.
Anger: "If the dark witches want to show goodwill, they only need to send Grandma Endor here, there is no need to use such complicated methods!"
"It's so obvious that the nails the other party threw at you are going to be eaten or not?" Xue Fu nodded in understanding.
She is also a 'second generation witch' from a large family, so she naturally knows that the bigger the family, the more inconsistent the understanding and ideas expressed by her personal thoughts.
Although Alice has a strong connection with the dark witches, once she became the leader of the witches of destiny, the relationship and interactions between the two parties also had many scruples and calculations.
Alice's grandmother, the poisonous woman Enduo, is only a level 1 witch at best. She has no say or dominance at all in the Maya family, which has the strongest power of dark witches, and it is impossible to influence the Maya family's major decisions. So the scene before us occurred.
, the only possibility is that there has been an unknown major change in the Maya family's attitude towards Alice!
To put it bluntly, if Alice's grandmother was not sensible, she might have been placed under house arrest by the dark witches.
It was precisely because of this that Alice's mood suddenly became so bad!
"Xue Fu, are there enough materials left in the witch tower to perform a divination ceremony? I think I will get the answer tonight!" Alice suddenly turned to look at Xue Fu.
During this period, Xue Fu completed the cleaning and statistical work of various treasure rooms and material warehouses in the tower.
"Of course there are enough materials." Xue Fu took out a list of items: "Although after thousands of years, most of the materials have expired, the remaining ones are still enough to carry out two large-scale divination activities."
"That's good!" Alice nodded and ordered: "Helen, please clean out the astrological platform on the top floor first. I will need it in a moment! All the materials needed can be withdrawn from Xuef!"
Helen, the magic elf who had been curled up on Alice's shoulder, immediately flew up and fluttered her wings while loudly agreeing: "I know, I know... I'll go right away."
After saying that, a star disappeared from the scene.
