Overlook Tower Academy, night.
Towers are distributed on the mountains, and the light gray stone walls are extremely cold to the touch. White snowflakes piled on the rough stone tower faces, corners, and tops, allowing the towers and mountains to blend into the night. Only some yellow light shines through the thick glass, revealing a little vitality.
The dark gray coat was covered with snowflakes. Lan Lier stepped on thick boots and slowly fell from the sky, and then stood on the observation deck outside the 8th floor of the tower.
First push open the wooden door on the observation deck, enter inside, and then close the wooden door to prevent the outside wind and snow from blowing in.
After entering the inside of the tower, she walked to the door beside the stairway. She took out the engraved copper key from her arms and inserted it into the stone door. As a burst of brilliance flowed through the door, the door lock squeaked slightly, and then gently pushed open.
Entering the door is the public lounge on their floor. The lounge is connected to four thick wooden doors, which correspond to four bedrooms, each of which sleeps two people and has its own bathroom.
Compared with the crowded central campus, the facilities of the four colleges are much more spacious and abundant. After all, it is surrounded by mountains and land with few people, and the school has no shortage of places to add buildings, which is indeed very comfortable.
There are already three students in the common room, of course they are all girls. The two of them are sitting at the brown wooden table, writing and drawing quickly under the candlelight. In the lounge of Nuoda, you can only hear the slight flame of the fireplace. Pops, and the rustling of a pen on paper.
The remaining student stood beside the cabinet against the wall, holding a kettle and adding hot water to his cup, and as the boiling water fell into the black porcelain cup through a small arc, there was a sound of water, and then The hot air came out, and the rich tea fragrance began to spread in the room.
"Lang Li is back, good evening." Holding the steaming black tea, the girl in the brown and white dress came slowly.
"Want some hot tea? I still have some."
"Then you're welcome Antoli, is Lingxin back?" Lang Li patted the wind and snow left on her coat and hat, took off her thick coat, revealing the slightly snug cashmere sweater inside, and sat at the table, Look at the structural drawings drawn by several roommates.
Antoli brewed another cup of tea and placed it in front of Lan Li before saying, "Ling Xin is currently learning about Advanced Sequence 6 with her tutor. She is about to break through. I guess she has been busy recently."
"Thank you~" Lan Li picked up the hot teacup and took a small sip. It felt too hot, so she put it down for the time being.
"Unconsciously, everyone is about to enter the fourth grade. It feels like the time is so fast. It seems like yesterday that Sister Tireira graduated."
"Yeah, I just entered the High Tower Academy at the time, and I encountered a lot of problems, which Sister Tireira helped to solve." Antoli also nodded, then sat down with her back to the fireplace, her figure under the firelight It seemed a little vague, and the two talked in a low voice.
Lan Li put her arms on the warm Atsugi table baked by the fire, looked at Antoli and said, "The instructor suggested that I don't need to advance this year, but stabilize first, and then enter the fourth grade next year."
"Although the tutor is also kind, I have to separate from Ling Xin and be a grade behind her. It's a bad feeling." Lan Li said her thoughts slowly while holding her face.
"Lan Li, this is really a happy worry. The two of us are still worrying about the design of this year's end-of-term, and this year is doomed to be unable to advance to Sequence 6." The two girls who drew the picture next to them turned around, complained a few words, and continued. Drawing complex and precise drawings.
The four people sitting in the room are all Sequence Five, and the oldest of them is only 20 years old. From the outside world, it can be said that all of them are rare geniuses, but in Emenas, they can only be counted in the middle. Although Lan Li can advance to Sequence 6 before the end of this year, it is very risky, so the teacher advised her to slow down.
The bright yellow flame of the fireplace was burning, bringing bursts of heat and dispelling the surrounding chill, and then cast the shadows of several girls on the opposite wall. With the movements of the girls, these long shadows kept shaking. The wall cabinets on the side also change light and shade, and the professional books with complicated and lengthy titles are plated with a layer of warm colors by firelight.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. The 'Winter Festival Gala' will start soon, relax first, and work hard in a few days." Lan Li said to her friends, and then she lay down on the table, ready to take a nap. meeting.

"Don't sleep here, get up, take a shower by yourself, and go back to the bedroom."
"Well, I don't want to move. The water in winter is too cold, and it's too troublesome to boil it by myself." Lang Li lay on the table and spoke words like dried salted fish.
"Lan Li's laziness is committed again, I guess I have to wait for Ling Xin to come back and drag her in." The two people next to him whispered, then watched Lan Li's eyes slowly open and close, and finally closed completely.
"It's really slack."
--------------------
After the class, Rothier also returned to the residence. The location here was relatively quiet, the fire was burning indoors, and the small yard outside was full of white snow. Only sporadic green grass leaves and vines emerged from the white snow.
She was sitting on a wooden chair in a comfortable pure white dress, facing the fire of the fireplace. On her knees wrapped in white cotton socks was a thick book. As her white fingers stroked, the pale yellow pages also changed. Then flipped, and the black writing was clearly reflected in the firelight.
"The specific origin of the chaotic vortex can no longer be tested. Its appearance can be traced back to the era of giants and dragons. It is said that the giant royal court at that time permanently eliminated several chaotic vortexes."
"According to archaeological excavations, scholars believe that there may be an era before the age of giants and dragons, because the facilities on some ruins are relatively sophisticated and are not suitable for large-scale giants and dragons to use at all. From the traces in the ruins, it can be inferred that , these prehistoric civilizations may be about the size of today's humans, elves, or orcs."
"They used special sand, stone and steel to make the buildings, which are very neat and can be seen to be of a high standard. But unfortunately, no corpses of the civilization's creatures were found in the ruins, and their traces of activity seemed to be suddenly cut off one day. , disappeared out of thin air."
"This civilization seems to rarely use words. The only clear record is the murals excavated at the World Tree site 300 years ago. After restoration, the scene displayed is a purple-red sky with a sea of clouds, the sun is on the edge of the horizon, and the earth is a piece of Green forests and city-like buildings float in the sky. Also based on this painting, scholars finally call the era in which this civilization lived as the era of vanishing twilight.”
It's amazing. As the night got darker, Roland Hill put the book together, and still recalled the wonderful world recorded in history in his mind.
Let's see tomorrow, she stood up, put the book and the warm puppet bear on the table, moved her body, and was going to sleep here tonight, anyway, she had agreed with her roommate over there, I have to 'study all night' in the library.
As the dark clouds dissipated, the snow gradually stopped, and in the distance, a luxurious airship passed over the mountains, slowly approaching Emenas.
The coat of arms on the airship, red and green roses intertwined with each other, radiating brilliance in the moonlight.
