Not long after Sauron left.
About a minute or two later, a portal opened in the living room, and then a slightly embarrassed figure of a coquettish woman walked out of it. She straightened her long skirt first, brushed her long flowing hair behind her ears, then stroked the necklace around her neck with her fingertips, and said rather dissatisfied: "Stinky girl! You are so serious!"
"I'm your own mother, how dare you use maze tricks on me."
The coquettish woman seemed a little unhappy, she looked at the living room boredly, then reached out to open a portal with a swipe, and entered it directly.
"I'll teach you a lesson when I figure out the secret of the fate card."…
inside the room.
The footsteps of the caravan hostess paused, obviously knowing that the coquettish woman had cracked her maze technique, she let out a slight sigh, and then tapped her finger on the wall. As if some kind of mechanism had been activated, the bricks on the wall separated by themselves, revealing many exquisite alchemy parts, a staircase winding down, with lamps with constant light spells on both sides.
Going down the winding stairs, you will soon see a large laboratory, which seems to be larger than this house. Rows of bookshelves are placed on the side, with a height of five or six meters and a width of about ten meters. Hundreds of books are placed on each bookshelf. There is also a small ladder next to it, which seems to be specially prepared for someone. After all, wizards don't need such things as ladders. A simple mage's hand can take the books you want.
"Vivienne is reading a book. In order to avoid disturbing me, I have blessed the sound insulation here."
Gloria turned around and glanced at Sauron, stretched out her hand and pressed on the wall, and then an invisible energy light curtain was closed, and she gently pushed open the door and walked in. Sauron looked around curiously. In addition to the huge number of books, there were also many alchemy equipment, as well as various bottles and jars, which contained many powder materials that he could not recognize at all. The only thing he is more familiar with is the distillation and purification device, which he used often when he was a thief, mainly to purify the toxicity of the drug.
Vivienne's small figure was sitting at a desk.
There are all kinds of books piled up under her feet, almost as high as her head. The little girl is holding a quill pen in her hand, and is drawing something on white paper. Densely written balls of paper. The little girl's expression was so serious that she didn't hear the two people's footsteps. She was tilting her head and flipping through the book quickly, taking notes from time to time, as if she found it difficult to understand, she unconsciously put the quill in her mouth Bite, and quickly spit it out after recovering.
"Vivian."
A rare smile appeared on Gloria's face, she raised her hand and waved gently, and said slowly: "Sauron is back. Take a day off today, if you don't understand anything, you can think about it tomorrow."
"Brother!?" The little girl turned her head with a surprised expression, and with a swoop, she landed on Sauron's body.
Sauron, who had always been expressionless, also showed a smile. He reached out and stroked the little girl's long hair, hugged her and kissed her lightly on the forehead. It may be that the time has passed well. Sauron felt that the little girl was heavier than before, and she would not feel so light when hugged. This made him cast a grateful look at the caravan hostess beside him. It is really hard to let a little girl who is only 8 years old this year wander around with him. If it is not for what he knows will happen in the future, it would be good for Vivian to study with her.
It's a pity that in the future, even legends can barely protect themselves.
Vivienne was wearing a beautiful princess dress, her silky long hair was tied up with a pink ribbon, and there was a delicate twisted needle on her chest, which seemed to be no ordinary decoration.
Spell research can sometimes be very dangerous, and sudden protective items must be prepared.
Vivienne was still wearing the moccasin boots that Sauron bought her, and after kissing him on the face, she giggled and put her arms around Sauron's neck and hung them on his body, looking like a bird Cute koala.
"Go."
Gloria smiled faintly, and said softly: "She seems to have a lot to say to you, the yard behind is very quiet, no one will disturb you."
The little girl jumped off Sauron's body, grabbed his palm and walked out, asking, "Brother, where have you been these few days? I'm very worried about you."
Sauron let the little girl lead him to the backyard.
It is a spacious yard surrounded by beautiful maple trees with shaded benches and a swing, the latter of which appears to have been recently installed. The walls are covered with ivy, and there is a circle of flower beds in the corner, with beautiful violets planted inside, and the leaves flutter in the yard with the wind, which looks like a bleak autumn wind.
The little girl sat on the swing, and Sauron consciously swung the swing.
"Clack!"
Vivienne let out a cheerful laugh, then sat a little inside, and pointed to the seat next to her with her little finger, signaling for Sauron to sit up too.
The two sat on the swing for a while, and after talking for a while, the little girl pulled Sauron to the bench, first asked him to sit down, and then the whole person fell into his arms, resting his little head on the bench. On Sauron's knee, he whispered: "Brother, I have learned a lot of spells."
"But some spells are so difficult."
"I used to think that magic spells are all about being able to read spells. But I didn't expect to learn so many things. Sister Gloria taught me spells in the morning, geography at noon, and alchemy in the afternoon. At first I fell asleep watching it, but then I got used to it a lot. Some things are actually quite interesting. Sister Gloria said that I can become very powerful after learning it, and Vivian also wants to become Better."
"Sister Gloria is actually a very kind person. She would tell me stories before going to bed at night, but sometimes the stories she told were so complicated that I couldn't understand some of them. Recently she was telling me the story of the princess and the dragon. The etiquette of those nobles is so troublesome, sometimes I fell asleep after listening to it, but the princess has not been captured by the dragon... "[囧]
"Occasionally she would teach me poetry. By the way, she even bought me a lyre. The rhythm is really difficult to learn. Sister Gloria's singing is really nice, but I'm not good at playing it."
The little girl seemed a little downcast, then she arched into Sauron's arms, and continued to murmur: "I really don't understand."
"It turns out that wizards have to learn so many things! I always thought that wizards can BIU~BIU~BIU cast spells after reciting the spell and pointing forward!..."
"Recently, Sister Gloria is teaching me to memorize spell models quickly. Actually, I don't know what spell models are, but those bright patterns are easier to remember."
"Sure enough, it's easy to memorize with pictures. Those words look really troublesome!"
Vivienne lay on Sauron's lap and continued to think about it. At first, she talked about what she had learned, such as astronomy, geography, astrology, religion, etc., which made Sauron frown slightly. Then there are all kinds of words that even he doesn't quite understand. God knows how much the caravan hostess has taught her during this time. There are some terms used by wizards that Sauron half understands. But Vivian should have learned reading skills, and her learning speed is much faster than ordinary people. He didn't intervene to ask, but just kept reaching out and stroking Vivienne's back, patting gently one after another.
The little girl closed her eyes comfortably, her voice became much softer, she seemed to be muttering in a daze, and she was talking about what happened recently, what she ate, what novelty she saw, etc. In the end, the little girl's breathing gradually became even, her murmurs turned into unconscious murmurs, and then she really fell asleep, and she slept soundly, with a trace of crystal-clear saliva sliding down the corner of her mouth onto Sauron's knee.
"Silly girl."
Sauron patted her on the back lightly, and covered the little girl with his coat. The autumn atmosphere was already strong. Although the afternoon sun was very warm, there was still a hint of coolness when the breeze blew past.
If he didn't take the initiative to speak, Vivian would rarely ask him what he was doing, but just liked to tell him some trivial things about himself.
Time passed so quietly.
Sauron also seemed to feel sleepy, and he put his palm on the little girl's back, and slowly closed his eyes.
The autumn sun is good.
Lying on the bench and basking in the sun was very warm, Sauron closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the little girl would subconsciously hug him from time to time, and even wiped saliva on his clothes in a drowsy sleep. Beside the window on the second floor, a slender figure was lying on a big chair, flipping through a book in her hand, looking down from time to time, maybe unconsciously infected, she also gently closed her eyes.
Below is a quiet and peaceful small world, which should not be disturbed by outsiders at this moment.
