Two days later, the train stopped at the border on the south side of the Mage Alliance, which is Switch City Chicas".
Sylutia got off the train, asked his subordinates to unload the materials and machinery loaded on the train, and then took a few people out of the city to the Blackbird Tower outside the city."
I remember that nine years ago, she arrived here on a large falcon, and then was taken care of by the guard tower of the Black Bird Tower Mage Chidi", who took her to take the assessment, and then boarded the train to Asura District.
Time flies so fast, Sylutia thought to himself.
After arriving at the foot of the tower, she knocked on the door lightly, while several attendants behind her stood guard at a distance.
Soon, the iron door at the bottom of the tower opened, and Sylutia once again saw the Mage Chidi" in black trench coat. Now he has also entered Fifth Order, and is now Mage of Fifth Order·Secret Speech·Dead Ember" level.
"Long time no see, Mr. Chidi." Sylutia bowed and saluted, very well-behaved and polite. If you ignore her current strength and status, it is easy to think of the image of a sister who has returned from afar.
"Oh, it turns out to be Hedra." The other party tapped his forehead, remembering this girl.
"Please come in." He stepped aside and led the girl to sit in the living room upstairs.
After the girl sat down, Chidi brought tea, and then the two briefly talked about old times and recalled the first time they met.
"You are still the same as before." Chidi looked at the girl with eyes under the black hair. Compared with the appearance in the memory, the girl has hardly changed, but her temperament is indeed much more generous and confident.
It is somewhat similar to Vidinoya", but Vidinoya" is more pampered. Another figure appeared in Chidi's mind, and he sighed silently when he thought of it.
"When Hedra goes back this time, please take me to say hello to Teacher Knox." After saying that, he took out another book from the bookshelf on the side, wrapped it in good parchment, and then wrote his own message.
"Although Teacher Knox didn't teach me for a long time, I'm still very grateful for that time." As he said that, he handed the wrapped gift to Sylutia, hoping that she would take it there.
"This book was compiled by me in recent years. Although it is not excellent, the content is related to bird research. Teacher Knox should be interested in it."
"I will bring it." Sylutia nodded.
"As for Hedra." He looked at the girl. With Sylutia's current status and strength, many gifts in the past were no longer suitable.
"I have a treasured thing, I don't know if you like it or not." As he said that, he opened the hidden compartment of the bookshelf and took out one of the small copper-shell metal boxes. Then he opened it carefully with the Key hanging on his body and took out one of the light black crystal vials.
"This is a bottle of perfume." Don't worry, it's not broken. In the early years, I wanted to give it to an old friend, but it's a pity that he has no use for it."
[Phantom Perfume·Black Iris] (Level 4·Rare): It can prevent the souls of recently deceased creatures from fragmenting and dissipating, and can maintain the existence of souls for several days.
"I've been living in the tower for a long time, and this bottle of perfume is of no use. If I give it to you, it might come in handy." He placed the exquisite perfume bottle in front of Sylutia.
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, it's not an auspicious and pleasing gift."
"No need to apologize, thank you Mr. Chidi for the gift." Sylutia accepted the perfume gratefully.
She understood that it was not the other party's fault. After all, Chidi was born in Dead Ember and Aspect Power. Mage was very unpopular in the Alliance and probably didn't have many friends. And this bottle of perfume must have been made by him based on his own knowledge and skills. He has already put out his best stuff, so there is nothing to dislike.
"Well, as long as you don't mind." The other party sighed and thanked Sylutia for his understanding.
The girl put the perfume into her hairpin, thought about it, then took out a black crystal gem and placed it on the table.
[Black Calamity Spirit Crystal] (Fifth Order·Rare); contains special gems Sub-Dream"Aspect Power, which can be used for props, creations,
Ceremony etc.
This was one of the gems awarded by the Academy when she took over Mishir District, but she has never used it. It has been kept until now. Rather than leaving it to gather dust in her hands, it is better to give it to Chidi. Dead Ember "There are many secrets and rituals on the road that are linked to Nightmare", which should come in handy.
"This is for Mr. Chidi. I hope you won't refuse." Sylutia explained in advance.
"This----" Chidi, whose black bangs covered her left eye and only exposed her right eye, looked at the gem in surprise.
He is not a genius like Sylutia who is valued by the Academy and the sages. It is extremely difficult to obtain a gem of this quality. It will take about 4-5 years of practical work and contribution to exchange for one.
Bionics School" has long been in decline. He can only redeem it in the official responsibility and contribution exchange list of the Alliance. This list is competed by all officials and staff of the Alliance. It is very fierce. It often takes several times of contribution to get what you want.
In fact, he spends a lot of money and resources. If you exclude the consumption that cannot be saved, he may have to save 7-8
It takes years to get such a gem.
It's really incredible. I had only seen information about this girl in the newspaper before, but now that the other party easily took out such a gem, Chidi finally realized how high this black-haired girl was in the Alliance. There are many things that ordinary Mage can't touch in their lifetime, but she is already rich enough to give them away. "In that case, thank you very much." Chidi is not polite, he really needs this gem.
After that, the two talked about other past events, and Chidi talked about his early experience of studying at the Alliance.
"I was born in a declining aristocratic family in a small country on the border of the Alliance. Although my family allowed me to come into contact with Secret History Knowledge very early, the help it could provide was limited. My talent was only above average, and I was not outstanding among the classmates at that time." Chidi recalled the past.
"Many of my classmates back then can't remember their names now, and people back then were quite low-key and taciturn." He picked up the teacup, looked at the tea in the cup, and spoke slowly.
"In my early years, my personality was not liked by others. At that time, almost no one talked to me, and I got used to it."
"However, even so, I still met a special being."
"She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family. She was also the highest-status among the students at that time. She had an arrogant personality."
"Originally, I couldn't get along with this kind of person, but by chance at that time, she needed an obedient person to help her skip school and report the news, so she chose me, a humble person."
"It was also from then on that we gradually became familiar with each other."
"Later, she helped me get a special letter of recommendation and asked me to study with Mage, a court official. After that, my secret history grades began to improve, and I gradually surpassed the classmates around me, and then I was admitted to the Alliance's school district."
"Originally, everything was going very well, and we agreed that when I graduate in the future, I would go to the Duke's family as a consultant Mage to repay this kindness."
"Unfortunately, when I returned a few years later, I only received news of her death."
The story did not usher in a consummation or a reversal, only the sad regret.
"Later, I specialized in the path of death, and it was actually because of her influence. Although it has been almost forty years, I still remember it vividly."
"What you experienced when you were young has a really long-lasting impact on people." He sighed with emotion.
"Although it's a bit rude, when I first met Hedra, I saw a bit of her in you."
"But she has a much worse personality, but she is not as ladylike as Hedra." When he said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and there was a bit of smile and vague sadness in the words he recalled.
"Well, it's actually not a very good story, so let's stop here." He shook his head.
"When Hedra goes back, help me check on Teacher Knox. He is very old. I don't know how his health is lately. I heard that he lives alone in a high tower. Although I haven't seen him for many years, because I also live alone, I can probably feel the same mood."
"Even if you tell him some trivial things in the Alliance, he will probably listen with interest and feel much better."
"I will remember it, Mr. Chidi."
After that, the two briefly chatted for a few words. Seeing that it was getting late, Sylutia also stood up to say goodbye.
Chidi sent Sylutia out the door and stood on the steps waving to Sylutia's retreating back until the girl disappeared into the distance.
In the mountains outside the border, a majestic camel appeared slowly like thick fog. Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes swaying on the camel's back, its footsteps slowly approached, and finally stopped, and its body gradually squatted down so that the tall buildings on its back were flush with the tops of the hills.
At this time, all the members from the Mage Alliance looked at this scene in shock, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
"Load the supplies and goods and carry them into the tall building on the back of the camel." Someone shouted from the front, and then groups of people slowly entered.
A few hours later, the mountain-like camel slowly stood up, merged into the thick fog again, and disappeared into the distance of the hill.
