Act 373: Imperial Rainstorm VIII

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In fact, the moment the magic book levitated, Jita realized that something big had happened. The magic book under her gaze had some kind of connection with her, and she felt that something was wrong.

It's all too familiar - the consistent construction of ether, and then comes the first trial - the confluence of ether, which is in sync with the grimoire.

The silver light flows on the title page of the book, forming a bunch of rushing light beams, holding it up in front of Miss Naturalist in a flash of light, like a feather, floating up and down.

Then came the second test. The ether flowed like mercury in the network of the void, and the two branches converged into one - the magic book was unsealed.

The light was blending into the title page of the book, as if an invisible hand was gently opening it. The metal pages became soft as if they were melting. The pages were opened, but the writing on the pages was blank.

Finally, there is the intersection, completing the personality shaping of the grimoire in its own etheric theory, casting the throne on the spider web, and building the wave in the tide.

The school that Jita works in is the 'Central of the Stars'. Thousands of stars revolve around the central star, slowly rotating like a galaxy. And in the blank star area in between, a brand-new constellation is burning brightly.

The flames are rising slowly.

The page of the opened book was blank. Jita hesitated and stretched out her hand. A light-cast quill appeared between her thumb, middle finger and ring finger. She put the tip of the pen on the page and wrote her name in a rustle:

Kita Lindelfiri, the latter is my real magical name. I am already the master of Guriel's Magic Book. Why did you call me here?

Its faint ink marks appear on the blank page, and Juan's beautiful handwriting is winding to form words:

‘What kind of magic book is that? Its owner is——’

Time outside seemed to have stopped, with only one person and one book left. Jita held a feather pen and rustled down:

'Guriel, the Book of Time.'

The wind blew up in the invisible space at some point, causing the pages of the book to make a soft sound. Ji Ta secretly saw the black-haired girl smiling slightly.

A hand stretched out from behind her, gently pressed on the back of her hand, holding her pen, causing the words she wrote to change, twisting the words, and forming a new sentence underneath -



The purple sky of Lotao flashed with thunderous thunder, and countless lightnings intertwined and descended from the sky, reflecting in the sky of the city.

This scene, like the thunderous wrath of the saints, did not cause any panic in the city. Every year when the rainy season comes, this storm will always bring such rolling thunder, and people have long been accustomed to it.

But in the spire, the great sage's eyes were watching the thunder falling one after another. The snow-white lightning reflected on his face, and the shadows between the wrinkles continued to deepen. Every time he tried to write something down, the words on the long scroll failed.

The text is constantly changing.

Sometimes they come together and form, and sometimes the ink scatters into a plate of quicksand. Just over and over again, no matter how he tries to modify it, the words on the long scroll will always converge into that sentence:

'Time blows the dust, and the new replaces the old; everything in the soil will always sprout, just like all things will be reborn, the book of life'

Silton's snow-white eyebrows wrinkled.

He waved his sleeve, and a few drops of ink flew out from the tip of his pen, rippled in the air, and formed several lines of text:

'Why The Book of Life?'

Those lines of text are twisting and changing:

'The shadows are coming, the dead are rising.'

The sage looked at the changing words in the long scroll and murmured to himself:

'Is it related to the incident at Giant Tree Hill?'

But the text is silent.

After a while, they transformed into another picture:

'The Tower of Silver will perish, and the empire will undergo changes——'

In the deep library, countless voices are echoing, old, old, young, sharp, lamenting, and angry. Those voices are intertwined with each other, buzzing and buzzing, and there is a lot of discussion:

"The star orbits have changed, new constellations have been born in the starlight of the etheric sea, the previous prophecies have come true, and new visitors are ushered in on the road of knowledge."

"In the Empire?"

"In the Empire."

"Has a new magic book been born?"

"No, it's the one from Carlyle - no, this time it's the Book of Life." The voice changed its words for the second time.

"How could it be, that book..."

Silton turned around and interrupted all conversations with a majestic voice: "Silence, everyone. The prophecy that reflected the millennium has arrived. One thousand two hundred and thirty years after the Numerin elves left, Morpheus,

I want you to go immediately—"

"To the Empire?" asked a shrill voice in the darkness.

"No," Silton stared at the clouds. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the drastic changes in the etheric sea there. A slit opened in the flash of light on the sea - where he saw the second world.

A certain area and a ray of shining starlight.

The starlight is passing through the etheric sea.

The great sage replied word for word: "Go to the Hill of Giant Trees, go to Sanchar, and tell the little princess that her sister is resurrected."

Thunder flashed among the surging clouds, and an eagle cried from the steeple.

Then a giant black eagle flapped its wings and flew out from the tower. It circled several times in the air, then passed through the intertwined lightning and flew towards the distance.



In the dark space.

Jita turned her head blankly and saw a beautiful side face. The girl had her eyes closed tightly, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, her long hair was like ebony hanging down from the side of her snow-white face, and the girl's brows were tight.

Wrinkle - almost the same as what is seen on the stone statue.

Clusters of thorns grew from below, wrapped around her delicate body, and climbed up her chest and slender neck along the dress. Roses bloomed among them, bright as blood. The sharp thorns scratched the porcelain white skin, leaving a trail.

bloodstains.

The mysterious girl was very close to her, and the breath she exhaled gently fell on the side of Jita's face, slightly itching. Miss Scholar's face was very tender, and her face suddenly turned red. Even as a girl, she had not seen it before

Such a good-looking person.

Miss Scholar blushed and wrote tremblingly:

'Who are you--'

The girl did not answer, but held her hand and rustled on the page and wrote:

'You are the owner of this book, and I will protect you from now on.'

The tip of the quill pen held in Jita's hand changed and she wrote:

'But I am already the owner of a magic book——'

'No one in history has ever been able to control two books. The owner of the Magic Book is not only a power, but also its recorder and composer. They use their lives to write this legend. But the two books are different.

, there should not be the same story.'

The text changes again:

'I cannot be with you personally, but I will choose a knight for you.'

Jita was slightly startled and suddenly looked into the hall.

Ever since the magic book disappeared, the halls of Kallaye had been in chaos. The psychics cast many spells, but they didn't care about the newcomers. The surging magical energy rushed the chosen ones around and left a mess.

In comparison, Luther was pretty good. He had some strength of his own, not as good as the newcomers selected from among the college students. It was just that the panicked crowd separated him from Trixis, and he had to summon his own construct before he could barely do it.

Get a foothold.

He noticed that some of the psions had quietly exited the hall. This discovery made him slightly surprised - what were the people in Carley's family doing, and why did the magic book suddenly disappear? He raised his head to look at the big snake, but was suddenly frightened.

A big jump.

He saw that Cui Xisi had left the crowd at some point and had already walked to the big snake.

Why is Trish there?

Are all these changes related to her?

The young man's mind was spinning. Everyone in the hall seemed to be possessed. Except for him, no one else noticed this. He looked up at the eye of the poisonous snake in mid-air, and was shocked to find that the eye of the poisonous snake had changed from the very beginning.

Just kept looking at Cui XiSi.

That faint look made him shudder.

He vaguely felt that something might have happened, and wanted to shout anxiously, but the hall was full of people at the moment, with panicked screams everywhere, and the angry rebuke of the psychics. Someone caught the fleeing person, and he was high

He scolded the opponent and asked about the whereabouts of the magic book.

But most of those who were caught looked at a loss.

He shouted Trixis's name loudly, but the girl couldn't hear the movement in this direction at all. She only walked to the side of the mythical giant snake, and then stretched out her hand to explore the soft scales on its abdomen.

Trixis didn't know why she did that. After she was separated from Luther by the crowd, she was squeezed all the way in this direction. After all, she was just a fairy user. In terms of her own strength, she was actually not much different from ordinary people.

But after finally getting away from the crowd, she realized that she had followed the crowd to a corner of the hall, which was far away from the exit, but on the contrary, was very close to the big snake named "Pandoras" in Luther's mouth.

It was originally near the high platform where the magic books were placed. At this moment, everyone was avoiding this direction. Only a few psychics stayed to guard there. What was strange was that those few people looked in the direction of the exit of the hall, as if there was no trace at all.

Noticed her the same.

This discovery made Cuisi couldn't help but curiously look behind them at the location of the big snake, but after this look, she could no longer look away. She saw that cold and quiet gaze.

Staring at herself, it was as if she could see directly through her own soul. The whole world was stretched out, and sounds, images, and all five senses were far away from her.

There was only a faint echo left in the darkness, like those memories from her childhood, and a gentle voice was constantly calling her forward.

Driven downward by the curiosity that arose in her heart, and the strange magic power, Trixis walked forward in a daze, turning a deaf ear to Luther's shouts behind her. She only walked a few meters away from the giant snake Pandoras.

somewhere close, and then reach out your hand.

The moment the girl's fingertips touched the giant snake's scales, a white light rose from the connection point. Under Luther's gaze, the white light and Trixis disappeared without a trace at that moment, just like the disappearance of the magic book earlier.

Exactly the same.

It was as if she had never existed in that place.

No one in the entire hall noticed this scene except him. The psychics seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and focused all their attention on the periphery of the hall, paying no attention to what was happening behind them.

know.

Luther was anxious. He didn't know where he got the strength to squeeze in that direction. People kept blocking him. He couldn't care so much anymore and ordered his construct to block everyone who stood in front of him.

Throw it out.

The movement he caused finally attracted the attention of others, and the psychics came over and used a spell to firmly kill him in place.

The guards rushed over, including members of the S.O.L.I.D alliance that Luther knew. He was fixed by the spell, but he could shout to those people: "I am Luther, Trixis is gone... I saw it with my own eyes."

She disappeared next to that snake!"

People who come here naturally recognize this FOX student. Although Gray Field and the Sacrament Guild are in a competitive relationship, the relationship between the senior management and the players is quite good in private, and the person in front of them is even more heavyweight, often jokingly called Tracy.

little follower.

The way he looks like this, it doesn't look like he's faking it.

The members of the S.O.L.I.D alliance stopped and searched around, but found no trace of Cuisi for a while. Someone came over and asked him: "You said Cuisi was missing, could she have left this place? Did you just see

What arrived?"

The person who asked was the psion from the Karleye family. Luther didn't care about the offense in the other person's words. He just looked straight at the place where Trixis disappeared and said, "She is in that place. You can use magic to

Go check it out."

The psychic was startled, turned around, and looked at his colleagues.



In the dark space, the girl's illusion only existed for a short time.

Then the gentle arms surrounding her gradually lost their realism, and the girl turned into a phantom, passing away like gravel. Her image gradually became illusory, until it finally disappeared, and everything returned to silence and disappeared.

And at that moment, Jita felt a huge suction force coming from behind her, pulling her away from the illusion. The darkness quickly faded from her vision, and the whole world receded, finally turning into a thin line.

Wire.

From the boundary separated by that thin line, another world was born, a dark, narrow room.

Miss Scholar quickly saw clearly the environment she was in. She didn't know when she returned to the same place, the room where the shrine was placed. She still stayed in the same place, but the giant snake and the corridor had long since disappeared.

There was only one crystal in front of him, shining with light.

The dim light reflected the stone statue of the girl, with her long hair hanging down her shoulders and her eyes closed. Bushes of thorns surrounded the stone statue, with roses and poisonous snakes growing on them, symbols of life and death. However, she no longer spoke softly as in the illusion.

, but turned into a cold withered carving again.

But there is only one exception.

The strange magic book was suspended in the space, its metal cover emitting cold light in the darkness, and its thick pages depicting wild roses entangled with poisonous snakes, with sharp thorns and drops of blood.

Books are life.

When the giant book closes, life also ends.

Under the thick cover of the book is a majestic magic power, which comes from different inheritances of each era.

This magic book is both strange and familiar to Jita, as if she had seen it in a long time ago, holding it in her hand, writing on the pages with a pen, responding to the familiar touch.

During that time, there was still a voice accompanying her, and then everything disappeared.

And in the silence, the existence of this magic book itself proved that everything before was not an illusion.

She held the book in her hand, and a surprised voice came from behind:

"Jita?"

Ji Ta was also slightly startled, turned around, and looked at Cui Xisi who appeared there through the thin eye lenses.

Cui Xisi was frowning, with an expression on her face that alternated between strange and worried. She suddenly screamed: "Why did I sign a contract with you?"

Miss Scholar's mind sank, and she soon found the mark in her own spiritual world. The mark had never been approved by her, but it connected her with the girl in front of her.

Cui Xisi's face became very ugly: "What kind of contract is this? Why are the terms of the contract so strict? I can't leave you too far, otherwise I will lose the Star Scroll. What do you mean? Doesn't that mean that I will be deprived of this world?

Drive away?”

She felt as if she had fallen into someone's prank, "Whoever made this contract is kidding me? Even the Saints Ouli can't do such an outrageous thing. I have a contract with the club, how can I be with you?"

"

But she touched the mark lightly, and the shock from her soul almost knocked her out of her mind. Cui Xisi stood there blankly for a while, then came back to her senses, and gradually looked at Ji with a fearful look.

tower:

"This...what on earth is going on?"

"Are you okay, Miss Tracy?" Jita shook her head slightly. She couldn't explain the mark clearly. But she looked back at the statue and roughly understood that it was the work of that girl. But as for who the other person was, she

It is still unknown.

"...I can't go with you," Cui Xisi was a little flustered. "Besides, we are not from the same competition area. This is against the rules of the Super Competitive Alliance. Jita...you should understand, or you can accompany me.

Go find other people, they might be able to unlock this mark."

Jita shook her head, "I'm sorry, Miss Trish, I can't do it."

How could she come here to meet other people? Britta is still unconscious and in danger at any time. Even Tracy can't guarantee that she has nothing to do with those brotherhood killers, and she doesn't care about everyone in the underground.

May trust.

If Cui Xisi is really innocent, then she can only wrong the other party first.

"But..." Cui Xisi was a little panicked. Leaving this world is nothing, but if she can't return, it is unacceptable to her. She just gained the qualification to go to the Hall of the Holy King. Everything about her

All her pride lies in this world behind the Star Gate. She is a little confused: "I..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Cuisi, this mark was not my intention," Miss Scholar said softly: "But I am sorry that I cannot accompany you now. If we can leave this place smoothly, I promise you that I will find a way to help you remove this mark.

"

"Really?" Cui Xisi seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. In any case, now her life is tied to the other party. After signing such a contract, the other party seems to have no need to lie to her. If this mark is related to

Jita has nothing to do with it, that is the best news for her.

She is now afraid that the other party wants to control her through this mark.

If that was the case, she might as well leave this world and return to the Star Gate. But if there was a chance, she would not be willing to do such a decisive thing.

Trixis lowered her head a little dejectedly, "Then as stipulated in the contract, I will protect you for a period of time... Miss Kitta. But having said that, Miss Kitta, why are you here? Where is that guy?"

She suddenly reacted and asked.

But Jita did not answer her immediately. Instead, she immediately opened Guril's magic book and placed three layers of protection in front of her. The radiance of magic spread from her body, and then Miss Scholar looked forward warily.

, a figure was walking in from the entrance of the room there.

When Cui Si saw the other person's face clearly, she couldn't help but subconsciously said: "It's you, you are the warlock of the Carley family. I remember your name. Did you call me Layet?"

Jita also recognized the other person at this moment. She had the ability of almost photographic memory, so she naturally recognized the other person at a glance as the young mage from the Serpent's Fang family whom they had met once under Nozpiz.

.

At that time, she vaguely felt that the other person seemed to be aware of her existence, and now that this person appeared here, was it also because of this?

But the young magician didn't even look at Trixis. He stared directly at Jita, looking at the two magic books in front of her, with a strange light shining in his eyes. The light then fell silent and gradually

It turned into a look of sincerity and sincerity.

"As expected of that person's student," he said, putting his hand on his chest, lowering his head and bowing to Jita very gracefully, "Distinguished guest, please come with me, the Kallaye family has already

I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Come on Mr. Rayette!?" Trish was dumbfounded.

Even Jita was stunned.
