The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Winter in Faerun is coming.

For the city of Deep Water in the Northland, wind and snow are old friends of the locals, and there is nothing to be afraid of. The oceanic climate prevents heavy snow that can cover houses in winter, but what is more uncomfortable is the biting wet cold.

In this season of the year, Maike's family always consumes extra charcoal expenses to heat up the boiler, allowing hot steam to flow through every pipe laid under the floor of the room to ensure that the house is as warm as spring.

But too warm is not good, because Livia's body can't stay in a hot and dry environment for a long time, so the servants will put water basins in the room, put cool herbs in the bottle on the bedside table, and open windows in the corridor for ventilation .

Livia put the desk by the window and worked at the desk in the warm and pale sunlight. The quill rustled and produced sheets of manuscript paper with delicate characters and orderly scribbles. Her fingers were stained with ink, and the side of her wrist Thick skin was worn on the desk case. The drooping eyelids fluttered slightly, and the slender eyelashes cast pale shadows like cat's claws under the eyes.

Adventurers in the Sword Coast have heard that an island in the Western Navy Archipelago has risen into the sky, and there is a floating city in Faerun. Countless people are eager to board the floating city, but very few people know the way. It is said that only the chosen ones can go to Delinriel.

Livia is looking forward to obtaining the qualification to go to Delinriel as soon as possible. She was only one step away from saving enough candles for promotion. Tonight is the final sprint.

She let out a breath, thin ice formed on the window pane, blurring the scenery outside the house. A stone hit the edge of the window, Livia was startled, raised her head, pulled down the lock with great effort, opened the window and looked into the courtyard. Zim, smiling brightly, waved to the girl upstairs.

The Maike family is very educated, even if they are wary and alienated from this young man of unknown origin, they will not turn away guests.

Livia walked on the table with her knees, half of her body leaned out of the window, she smiled when she saw her friend, then sighed and shook her head deliberately, as if she didn't welcome this rash guest. In the eyes of the elders of the Maike family, this is almost a dangerous signal. Most of the youthful feelings between men and women arise in this way, and they don't want to entrust their precious daughter to strangers who don't know the details.

A quarter of an hour later, they met in the living room. In the silent onlookers of the housekeeper and maids, their conversation was very formal.

Zim didn't like this kind of environment. The first time he met Livia offline, he had a good chat.

It was a complete accident that he could meet Livia. Zim, who has mastered a little spellcasting ability, is no longer satisfied with the poor and gangsters in the dock area, but turned his attention to the wealthy community in the North District. With a pair of dexterous hands and magical skills, he succeeded several times and was not caught by the city guards.

However, a place like Waterdeep City can't accommodate a stupefied young man. Legendary thieves may be left without bones. There is no other reason. There are too many hidden dangerous people in this city. Zim was going to close the last deal, but he happened to break into Maike's house. To be precise, he happened to get into Livia's bedroom. At that time, the girl was secretly reading by candlelight.

So the process of the two meeting for the first time can be described as humorous.

Livia also finally knew that Zim's concealment of his job was really disgraceful.

She felt that such dirty work would damage their tower's corporate image, and Zim smiled and said, Miss, you don't understand the suffering of our poor. Livia said that there are still many poor people who make a living by handicrafts and earn clean money. Zim said, the poor in your mouth are already a very happy family to me.

Livia let out a long sigh and decided to help this poor Dreamland netizen. After that day, Zim became a regular visitor to Maike's house, but he refused Livia's financial support.

"I will find a way to survive. You can lend me a few books. I will return them after I finish reading them."

The friendship between Zim and Miss Rich is so strange.

They put letter paper in the book and communicated in cipher text.

After Livia was ready to be promoted to a tower apprentice, she immediately set off for Delinriel. Of course, it was impossible for her family to agree, so she was going to take a walk-and-go trip, and Zim agreed to go with her, and she was also her accomplice.

Zim chatted about recent experiences.

"I have a new sorcerer who claims to be a descendant of Elminster Alma."

"Which Elminster?" Livia almost knocked over the teacup excitedly, regardless of the dignity of a lady.

"The continent of Faerun, the entire Toril, is there another Elminster in this world?" Zim curled his lips, "But don't get too excited. The guy I know is very crappy, Except for a few tricks, it is still handy, and even casting a 1st-level spell may go wrong."

"How could the children of Elminster be so bad?"

"There are rumors that Elminster of Shadow Valley is a passionate seed, a big bastard who keeps seeds everywhere. Who knows how many bloods he has wandering outside? Anyway, the guy I know is living a pitiful life." Zim He made a gesture, which meant that the man was an accomplice of thieves.

Livia frowned, she learned some common sense of the underground world from Zim, and said dissatisfied and worried: "You don't do anything for gold coins anymore, do you?"

"I'm drooling looking at Goddess Woking every day." Zim smiled lazily, noticing the increasingly hostile look in the housekeeper's eyes, "I should go, good night."

"Yes, good night." Livia replied nervously with her heart skipping a beat.

Zim waved goodbye. The servants all thought he was a weird person, and there was no way to wish someone good night so early in the morning.

At lunch, brother Andre rarely rushed home for dinner.

The atmosphere of the family at the dinner table was harmonious, but Andre brought a piece of interesting news.

"Recently, the underground market in the city has begun to circulate a kind of contract. The seller claims that it can give the person who signed the contract infinite knowledge."

Father Jeremy McKo asserted: "Obviously another trick by the thugs, maybe the devil. We don't have that kind of thing in our house."

There were echoes from around the table. Livia smiled sweetly, without flaws. But brother Andre still gave her a worried look, with no deep meaning.

The mother said softly: "By the way, that Mr. Zim seems to come to visit often recently. Li Wei, what do you think of this boy?"

"not so good."

Mother said "Oh" with a strange smile.

"It's really not that good," Levi repeated. "Don't get me wrong. He's looking for Dad to do the jewelry business. We don't know each other well."

Although the jewels were stolen goods, Zim did use this reason to pay a formal visit to Maiko's house.

"If a family wants to prosper, the efforts of the offspring are indispensable." The mother said casually, "Why don't you know the boys from other families?"

"I'm tired, Mom." Livia smiled unabated.

Livia went to bed early that night. She has accumulated the knowledge needed to brew a candle.

On the silver casting road in the dream world, Livia stood in front of the tower and lit the last candle.

So the door was opened, and with the blessings of all the companions, she stepped into the kingdom of God.

Inside the tower is an empty hexagonal corridor, and an illusory sun is suspended above the ventilation shaft.

Livia looked around, "Mr. De Lin?"

The king of the tower fell slowly, and Livia said tremblingly: "Hello, great existence, I am Livia Maiko, accept your guidance, light the light in my skull, and wish to be the agent of your will ..."

The king in the illusory sun raised his hand lightly, and Livia ignited white flames all over her body. She bathed in the radiance, as if soaking in warm spring water. From nerve endings to spiritual memory, she felt comfortable, as if she was born again from the womb of the world Same reborn.

The flames slowly shrank, and condensed into a "Wizard's Practical Guide" in front of Livia.

"You're here." Linde pushed open the door on the corridor wall, and greeted Livia who was inexplicably surprised.

"Mr. De Lin, long time no see!"

"It's a coincidence that you came, and one day later, I will go on a long journey. Since you have recognized the king of the tower as the suzerain, we are companions." Linde stood still beside the ventilation shaft, stroking the railing, with a relaxed and leisurely posture , "Livia Maiko."

"Yes." Livia straightened her back.

"You are now a newcomer to the tower, and Delinriel is looking forward to your arrival. However, this does not mean that you will become a member of the secret party. You need to continue to work hard, pass the trial, enter a higher academic hall, and have more What an excellent elite mage to deal with. At present, all you have is this "Guide", and when you enter the secret meeting, you can have a study room, which is equivalent to a demiplane."

Livia was dizzy and just nodded.

"With the "Guide", you don't need to enter the dreamland to collect candles in the future. It can absorb candles just like a contract. As for the function of candles, you will know when you arrive in Delinriel." Linde showed warmth Smiling, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can get answers from the "Guide". See you in Delinriel."

"...Okay!"

Livia woke up from her sleep, and she didn't know when there was a thick notebook in her arms, and she fondled it fondly.

The moonlight was like frost, and a small stone hit the window edge.

Zim was already waiting for her, and tonight they began their escape to the New World. (end of this chapter)
