It was already sunset when the convoy arrived at the Tower of Destiny.
The lonely keel wilderness is full of scattered boulders, weeds and broken bones, and amidst the bleak howling of monsters, the Tower of Destiny stands alone in the center of the wilderness.
Under the command of the dark witch, all apprentice witches got off the carriage and lined up in front of the gate of the tower, waiting for the master of the tower to receive them.
And Erica was undoubtedly one of the uneasy crowd. Thinking of spending the next days in such a desolate tower, accompanied only by those crazy monsters outside and the 'partners' with ulterior motives beside her, Erica's body couldn't help but began to tremble.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!" Freya stood beside her, gently holding Erica's hand, comforting her in a low voice.
Erica gave her a forced smile back.
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 gate of the tower finally opened slowly.
The soft and bright light projected from the door fell on everyone, immediately bringing a strong sense of warmth to everyone.
Immediately, a slender and tall figure appeared inside the door, with the light behind him, silently scanning the crowd.
"Since we're all here, let's come in and take a rest! This trip is bothering you!"
The voice was soft and sweet, and it seemed that he was not very old.
The dark witch who led the team stood silently in the darkness, and said coldly: "Master Alice, the 7 apprentices promised by our dark witch family have been delivered, and I will not stay. Farewell!"
After all, without even entering the gate of the high tower, he turned around and drove the carriage with his entourage into the darkness.
The Dragonbone Wilderness under the night is not peaceful, and they must have caused a lot of damage by rushing out like this. However, the Dark Witch's attitude was firm enough, as if she didn't want to have too much contact with Alice.
Alice watched the convoy going away from a distance, with an incomprehensible smile on her face, she turned sideways to the remaining seven Erica and said, "Come in!"
Everyone bowed in unison to salute, knowing in their hearts that this is their future controller—the leader of the Fate Witch, Alice.
All the witch apprentices struggled to carry their heavy boxes, carefully walked past the witch Alice, and walked into the bright and warm gate of the tower.
Erica was last, the last apprentice to enter the tower.
When she passed Witch Alice, she couldn't help but glanced up at the legendary Witch of Fate.
This is a young and beautiful witch, her face is far more refined and perfect than other witches Erica has ever seen. She has long hair with a silver shawl that is smooth and shiny, her skin is white and crystal clear, her eyes are long and narrow, and her pupils are blue and clear. She is wearing a purple robe full of sun, moon, stars and witchcraft runes.
And the other party was also looking at Erica in a gentle and quiet manner.
The eyes of the two sides collided lightly, and Erica immediately shrank her head and neck in fright, tightly holding the handle of the old suitcase with both hands, and obediently followed behind her companion, not daring to look around casually anymore.
Seeing the other party's timid look, Alice couldn't help but sighed softly.
She actually knew this Erica.
More than ten years ago, they were the same group of apprentices who entered the Tower of the Dark Witch, and they spent two years together. Later, Grandma Endor needed to be stationed in Sandi Tallinn, so she sent Alice to Fanny's Lodge, a medium-sized wizarding organization in the middle of the mainland, and handed it over to the female wizard Deborah for training.
Twenty years have passed in a flash. Unexpectedly, this Erica has only climbed to the level of an intermediate apprentice, while she... is already the leader of the Witch of Destiny.
The gap in the situation is no longer enough to be described as magical!
Looking at the seven apprentice witches who filed into the tower, Alice couldn't help frowning.
The talent potential of most of the members is terrible, but one or two of them are so talented that people doubt their own eyes.
From the attitude of the dark witch to herself just now, it can be seen that the dark witches no longer regard him as a close person. According to Alice's original estimate, it was Grandma Endor who should have come to escort the apprentice witch.
But Grandma Endo didn't come, but a strange witch who was very unfriendly to her came instead. Obviously, there were some hidden secrets that she didn't know!
After the apprentice witches stepped into the gate, they were immediately stunned by what they saw!
A neat and bright witchcraft hall, a spotless and clean floor, illuminated crystals inlaid on the stone walls that exude a soft and bright luster, plus…
In the center of the hall is a solid long table filled with various dishes and drinks. Fried veal kidneys, quail stuffed with spices and fruits, mince pies made of lark and partridge meat, beef cooked with wine and onions, dormouse soaked in honey... The delicious food is bursting with flavor. The hot smoke aroused the gluttons in everyone's stomachs.
All the apprentice witches, who were already hungry, couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
All the apprentices couldn't help but looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts. I heard here that it has 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 the witch Alice actually tidied up this hall by herself in the past two days
"Let's eat first!" Alice's voice was still so gentle and peaceful: "The residence is also prepared for you. You only need to eat, drink and rest today. I will naturally assign all the specific affairs to you tomorrow. Follow the guard after eating. Just go, it will take you to your respective residences."
What Alice was talking about was an armored guard standing in a 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 their bravery. But all the witch apprentices knew very well that this kind of activated armor made of demon-hating metal had the strength no less than that of apprentice witches, and it was no problem to crush a group of intermediate and senior apprentices like them.
After speaking, Alice left on her own.
Soon, only the newcomers, a table of delicacies, and a frozen guard in armor remained in this vast witchcraft hall.
Everyone stared and hesitated for a moment, then Freya and another high-ranking apprentice stood up and said in a low voice: "Everyone has driven such a long distance, we should follow the instructions of Lord Alice, eat first and then rest. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about anything else!"
In fact, everyone has been waiting for this order for a long time!
After hearing Freya's words, everyone immediately rushed forward, took a seat at the table, and began to eat and drink desperately.
To be honest, before coming here, everyone had already made up their minds to work hard here for several years.
After all, a witchcraft tower has been silent and closed for thousands of years, and the witchcraft facilities inside must have been damaged in sevens and eighties, and the materials and resources needed for life and study must be extremely scarce. So not to mention snacks, even tents for sleeping, everyone stuffed them into wooden boxes and brought them over.
But when they first arrived, the first impression they had of this Tower of Destiny and this Lady Alice was absolutely different from what they had imagined, or even completely opposite.
This can't help but make everyone want to explore this tower of destiny full of mystery earlier!
...
The twelfth floor of the Destiny Witch Tower.
Alice and Xue Fu were standing in front of a super huge water mirror, silently examining the few apprentice witches who were devouring food in the lobby on the first floor.
"This... and this..." Xuefu tapped her green and tender fingers, and circled two female apprentices who were somewhat different in the water mirror: "The two of them are different from others! The talent should be better. ...Are you sure it wasn't the kindness expressed by the dark witches to you?"
"I'm sure!" Alice gently raised her curly black eyelashes, revealing the beautiful water-blue pupils inside. It's just that the playfulness and warmth in it no longer exist at this moment, replaced by a touch of indifference and vague anger: "If the dark witches want to express their kindness, they only need to send Grandma Endor, and there is no need to play such a complicated game." means!"
"The nail thrown to you by the other party is so obvious, should you eat it or not?" Xue Fu nodded understandingly.
She is also the 'Second Generation Witch' from a big family, so she naturally knows that the bigger the family is, the more inconsistent the understanding and ideas shown are with personal ideas.
Although Alice has a strong relationship with the Dark Witches, once she becomes the leader of the Witches of Destiny, there will be many scruples and calculations in the relationship and communication between the two parties.
Alice's grandmother, the poisonous woman Endor, is at best a Tier 1 witch. She has no right to speak or dominate in the Moya family, which is the most powerful dark witch, and it is impossible to influence the Moya family's major decisions. Therefore, the only possibility for the scene in front of me is that the Moya family's attitude towards Alice has undergone an unknown major change!
To put it bluntly, if Alice's grandma was not sensible, she might have been put under house arrest by the dark witches by now.
And Alice was thinking about this, so her mood suddenly became so bad!
"Xuefu, is there enough material left in the Wu Tower for a divination ceremony? I think I will get the answer tonight!" Alice suddenly turned to look at Xuefu.
During this period of time, Xue Fu completed the cleaning and statistics of the various treasure rooms and material warehouses in the tower.
"Of course there are enough materials." Xuefu took out a list of items: "Although after a thousand years, most of the materials have expired, but the remaining is still enough for two large-scale divination activities."
"That's good!" Alice nodded and said: "Helen, please clean up the astrologer on the top floor first, I need to use it right away! All the materials needed can be withdrawn by Xuefu!"
Helen, the magic elf who had been curled up on Alice's shoulder, immediately flew up, flapping her wings as she promised loudly: "I know, I know... I'll go right away."
After saying that, Xinghui disappeared on the spot.
