Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 4
Stepping into the space gap, the scene in front of you will change from a small guest room at the top of Dragon Ridge into a gloomy room. The dim candlelight around can only provide the most basic lighting for the guests here. Fortunately, both the guests and the host can see things clearly in the dark.
"Welcome back, master cheese." A low, slightly distorted voice was heard, and a blue creature in a butler''s suit stood on one side of the room. Its bloated body makes the housekeeper''s uniform look ridiculous.
"Ah Fu, help me prepare the bathroom, and then go to inform my sister Lilly that I will visit her later." As he spoke, cheese took off his big gray robe and handed it to the blue creatures around him. He was on the top of the dragon''s spine with a long smile that could not be seen at this time.
"Yes, young master." The blue creature replied, briefly flashing a few dark blue halos.
"Miss anlina is up, and she is here for your visit. I''d like to hear about this trip. "
"I see." Said cheese, pushing the door open.
It was not visible in the room before. The place where cheese came was originally a huge high tower. The middle of the tower was hollow. Spiral stairs were attached to the hollow part of the center, and rooms were distributed next to the stairs. The height of the tower should be astonishing, because from the position of cheese, you can''t see the bottom layer down, and you can only see the white light from the air when you look up.
Cheese went up to the top of the tower, and the blue creature, known as Ah Fu, steadily followed him three steps behind him.
"By the way, have you heard from the teacher?" Asked the cheese.
"I''m sorry, young master, so far there is no news from the master." Ah Fu replied.
"Ah, forget it." Said cheese, standing in front of a door. "I''ll come by myself later. You go and prepare the lab. In the near future, it may be necessary to conduct in vivo experiments. "
"Yes, young master." Alfred watched the cheese close the bathroom door and turned to the bottom of the tower.
…………
"Sister, cheese is here to visit." Standing in front of an oak door two people high, the cheese, dressed in his new clothes, knocked on the door and called.
After he said this, the two heavy doors opened slowly, revealing the dark space inside. Cheese shakes his head. He has always been a great student. Although this is not a big problem, he still thinks that people who study knowledge should strive to be concise and efficient. With this in mind, he walked into the darkness behind the door, and as he walked about ten steps from the door, two rows of candles lit up on both sides of the wall, illuminating the three person wide corridor. At the end of the corridor was a brick wall, which blocked the road and had to be bypassed on both sides. This design method is said to have been brought back from the Far East by the master of this place, the cheese teacher. Around the screen wall, cheese finally saw the object of his visit.
With a huge wooden table and a fireplace nearby, a blonde girl was reading a book by the light of the fire. It seems like a peaceful scene, but cheese knows that the blonde girl in front of her does not need any light source to see the words in the book. All the decoration here is just because of the owner''s interest.
"I''m here, Lilly." Cheese went up to the girl and took a chair.
"Hee hee, my lovely little cheese is back at last!" The girl closed the book as soon as cheese approached, and as she raised her head, her bright red eyes were particularly striking.
"Sister, didn''t we say that you shouldn''t be so numb? I''m eighteen years old! " Cheese face helpless, but he also has no way, after all, this schoolsister is growing up watching him grow up.
"My little cheese has grown up. Don''t you want to learn from my sister? I''m so sad. " Said, the girl made a sad expression.
"Ah, ah, can you be more normal, sister! I''m serious now Said cheese, madly.
"Well, no more teasing. Come on, it will make you turn back in the middle of adult tasks and ask for help. What''s the problem? My little cheese ~ "
a black line cheese decided to ignore his sister''s address at the end of the sentence and began to explain his own problems.
"Today, I crossed Longji mountain."
In a word, anlina, who was still chattering before, was instantly quiet. The expression on his face became serious and serious. In fact, when the girl is serious, the sense of calm in her body makes it difficult to relate to her appearance.
"The frost man entertained me. And I found this in their town Cheese said, stretching out his left hand, his palm began to condense a thumb size green light ball.
"This magic trace It''s a plague. A magic plague. " After a few seconds of staring at the ball of light, she said.
Cheese nodded, closed his hand, and the ball of light dissipated.
"Can you tell what plague it is?"Anlina frowned, thought for a moment, and said.
"No, I can''t determine the type of plague by magic marks alone. At the very least, give me a confirmed living case. "
"Yes So, can we speculate on the route of infection? "
The blonde thought again and shook her head.
"No, there is a big gap between magic plague and ordinary plague. Some magic plague can even spread through language. Without samples, I can hardly draw any conclusion."
Cheese frowned, too.
"Really, you can''t do it even if you specialize in disease science?"
"I''m sorry, that''s what happened. So your trial has begun. " Anlina said with a smile.
"Living samples? I see. " Cheese looked down and said.
At this time, Ah Fu''s figure came in from outside.
"Cheese master, miss anlina, good night. Young master, the laboratory you arranged is ready. Would you like to use it now Said the inhuman housekeeper.
"No, please seal it for me. I''m afraid it will be used in two days." Replied the cheese, and stood up at the same time.
"Sister, I won''t disturb you much. If the villagers find me missing, it will be very troublesome."
"Well, well, little cheese has grown up and I don''t have time for my sister. Fortunately, I still have books to read here. " Anlina puffed her mouth and reopened the books on the table and stood on the table.
For this student sister, cheese can only smile bitterly. After all, although the relationship between the two is in theory a classmate, but for cheese, the sister is more like a mother.
"Well, I''ll solve this adult task as soon as possible. I''ll also bring some special products to my sister. " Said cheese.
And anlina just snorted, did not say anything, dissatisfaction expressed. In this regard, cheese also had to shrug, took Ah Fu to leave anlina''s room. The master and servant quickly returned to the room where cheese had been transferred. On the Obsidian base in the middle of the room, the portal leading to the top of the dragon''s spine opened silently.
Cheese thought for a while, picked up a new gray robe from Ah Fu''s hand and put it on his body.
"Young master, though I should not say so." Ah Fu suddenly opened his mouth and let cheese stop walking into the portal.
"But I think you should spend more time with Miss anlina, who is more affectionate only when she is with you."
Listening to the housekeeper''s words, cheese''s mouth once again burst into a bitter smile.
"Indifference is actually the normal state of the elder sister. After all, she is a high-level blood clan. Loneliness and indifference were almost etched into her bone marrow. It''s unusual for her to be as enthusiastic about me as she is now, isn''t it? "
"Yes, my subordinates are talkative." Ah Fu lowered his head and said, if the blue substance sticking out his collar was really his head.
"Forget it You''re right. I''ll go back first. If there''s any news from the teacher, you know how to inform me. " The cheese said and stepped into the portal. With his entry, the gap in the space gradually healed and finally disappeared. The few lights in the dim room are also turned off because of the disappearance of its users, falling into pure darkness.
When he stepped back into the room in the tavern at the top of the Dragon Ridge, cheese stretched himself out looking at the still dark sky outside the window. He tapped his finger gently, and the runes attached to the doors and windows dissipated like dust. No one could see that a portal had just opened here.
"Anyway, sleep for a while." Muttered cheese.
