"Aren't you the magicians of the Karleye family? If I remember correctly, the Karleye family is also one of the seven magician families. Although the seven magician families may not be unified, in comparison, I am more like

He is an outsider."

"That's not necessarily the case. Since Miss Kita knows that there is not only one voice within the Seven Mage Family, she has naturally heard that the Seven Mage Family, headed by the Spell and Protection Faction, is actually divided into two. As for us, we have always been

Not too close to either side.”

Layet replied as he led the two of them through the long secret passage.

He had previously said that he had no ill intentions, but Jita could not believe it, so she quietly took back the magic book, held the cold book cover with one hand, and was ready to cast a spell and leave at any time.

Although the magician from the Karleye family saw through this, he did not tell the truth. He only said: "Miss Kita is here to find evidence about the attack. In fact, you can just ask me directly. As the Seventh Magician,

As one of the scholar families, although we may not be of the same mind as others, we do know a lot of internal information that the outside world does not know."

"You guessed it right, the attack on the Astrology Academy was led by the Seven Wizards family, but it was not the Hawke family who carried out the attack. It was the Eisengreen family who initiated the prophecy, and the Griffin family who actually carried out the attack.

, they were very close to the fraternity guys.”

It was these words that made Kitta stay.

She raised her head and looked into the other person's eyes, and asked in a soft voice: "Isn't it said that the Griffin family and the Hawke family are incompatible? Originally, the Golden Goat and the Griffin Feather formed an alliance to fight together.

The wisdom of a cunning owl, but recently the Eisengreen family has been getting closer and closer to the Hawke family. At first, people thought that it was due to Duke Hawke's monstrous flames, but now that the Hawke family has suffered a huge change, the Eisengreen family has not fallen into trouble.

.”

"Why should Ms. Kitta ask questions knowingly?" Layet shook his head. "Factions are an internal matter of the Seven Mage families, and twenty years ago we could unite to deal with the Horfen School."

"Since you left the Stag Principality, the astrologers of the Golden Goat have been working behind the scenes. The Hawk family has already used them to locate the whereabouts of Ash-Lynn's legacy. Although the prophecy is sometimes just a mystery, the Seven Mage Family

From that moment on I knew you had come to the Empire."

"So they didn't cause trouble for you from the beginning, but allowed you to enter the empire. Then they used the help of the Chosen Guild and tried to get the Patrol Cavalry General Administration to intervene."

"——As for the little girl, it was just a coincidence. In fact, their real purpose was to involve you, because they believed that the thing was on you. But they didn't expect that the success fell short. The Hawke family had guessed it wrong, and they still had to pay for it.

Get an informant in."

Layette chuckled softly when he said this, with a mocking look in his eyes.

Jita asked seriously: "Have you not seen the notes left by Ash-Lynn? But I see that you were not interested in the Horfen School at that time."

"You are right, it was like this before. They were really confused for a while after that," Layette nodded, "... plus the incident with Appenand, I heard that you and that president

It’s very close, but that’s not necessarily a good thing.”

"Friston is a very ambitious man, and only he can do that kind of thing, regardless of the consequences, and use thunderous means to eliminate all political opponents that stand in his way."

He paused and said, "Of course, this has the approval of His Majesty the Emperor."

Jita looked at the other party, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. This actually coincided with what she was thinking, so how could the Seven Magicians family dare to make small moves at this moment?

"Because this time is different," Layet shook his head. "This time they found something more interesting. This time their target was the little girl, and it was you who got involved. Of course, they also understand

You stand behind that little girl from the Lynn family and are prepared for a conflict with you."

Cui Xisi listened for a long time and finally understood the conversation between the two, and interrupted: "Were they not prepared last time? Or is it that the people of the Seven Mage Family are always so arrogant and so... funny?

?”

Layette turned back to look at her: "Miss Trish, this is not what a guest should say."

"So you still recognize me," Cui Xisi said angrily, "I thought I had become transparent. I was inexplicably caught here, signed a contract inexplicably, and met someone from the Karleye family inexplicably.

.”

The young magician smiled and said, "You were chosen by the holder of Guriel's magic book. This is your luck. You will understand later. You are a guest of the Seven Magicians family. How could I not

I recognize you. If things hadn't happened under Nozpiz, you and the Gray King's students would have been the first candidates for the crown blessing, and His Majesty is quite optimistic about you."

Cui Xisi fell silent, turned her eyes to Jita, and said, "So you still recognize me, can you tell me what happened? I don't want this 'benefits' of unknown origin."

She said with some anger: "You Seven Mage Family people are really inexplicable. If you had known I should not have come here. Of course, you may think that the preparations were not sufficient last time, but don't forget that Jita and the others were unprepared. You

It’s different from the fact that I lost completely in that big arbitration and lost a great man.”

"...So this time, this time the Hawke family, the Eisengreen family and the Griffin family have made a comeback and regained their confidence," Trish said sarcastically, "but don't forget that His Majesty is still watching you this time."

Lai Laet was not angry, but just shook his head, "Miss Cuisi, you are not from the Empire, so naturally you don't understand that person's true position. His Majesty never stands behind anyone, and his last choice will not affect the present."

He looked at the scholar lady beside him and realized that she was also looking at him.

What Trixis wanted to ask was actually what Kitta wanted to ask, but Miss Scholar was always reserved and could not boast so carelessly.

Jita only asked softly: "Have you investigated me?"

"About Guriel's magic book?" Layet shook his head again, "There is no need to investigate. The moment you resonated with the Book of Life, we determined its identity, Miss Kitta. In fact, there will be more.

Earlier, in fact, when you fought against the Wind Knight, the Eye of Kallaye sensed it."

He continued: "...Later, under the guidance of the Eye of Kalley, I applied to my family to go to the underground of Nozpiz to lead the ceremony of granting elemental blessings. I was sensing underground at that time.

If there is another grimoire holder, it must be you, right?"

"But something happened later. I didn't expect that the ceremony would lead to the elemental tyrant Alphonsus, so I postponed the meeting with you until today. But in fact, when you followed the Griffin family into the big

We had actually noticed it when we entered the tomb. It’s ridiculous that those fools came back with a bag of air, because they lacked an understanding of the power of real naturalists.”

Jita noticed the key point in the other person's words, "You mean - a real naturalist?"

"There are three stages of naturalists, narrator, reader and recorder. Mr. Karatu should have told you," Layet said. "There are many magicians who know these three stages, but many people end up

They can only stay in the first stage throughout their lives, even some great magicians. Only those who have truly embarked on this path can be called naturalists, not to mention that there are still many magic books among them.

There are counterfeit books, and at least three of the seven magic books in the empire are not authentic."

Seeing Jita's eyes becoming confused, he replied: "Don't be curious about why we know the existence of Mr. Karatu. You are the holder of the Book of Guriel. It is impossible for Mr. Karatu not to come to you. After all, there is only one

Only the holders of the Book of Guriel and those recognized by the Grimoire can know the secret."

Jita opened her mouth, but after hearing what Layet said, she took back the words that came to her lips.

She ended up asking just one more question: "Fake book?"

"It's not that the magic book itself is a forgery," Layette said, "but it means that the magic book is not always shown to people by its real name. A magic book can have multiple names. When it is shown to people with different names,

, the power displayed is also different. But every magic book has one and only one true name."

The young magician waved his hand, and the magic book held in Trixis's arms automatically flew to his hand - yes, Trixis was holding the Book of Life all the way - this was not the case.

As for the solution, Jita naturally cannot carry two heavy and heavy magic books by herself, and since her life is at stake with Miss Scholar, it is naturally impossible for her to leave the other person there alone.

So I had to temporarily work as a laborer.

Seeing that Layette called the book over without saying hello to her, Cuisi couldn't help but glare at him. However, Layette didn't care and just gently put his hand on the book and said: "Just like this

This book.”

He said softly: "When it came to Layet's house, it was called the Book of Serpents and the Book of Snake Kisses. It did show corresponding power, which is where it got its name. This

Since this book was found by us, it has had three owners. Except for the first owner who was a magician from the Karleye family, the other two owners were your chosen ones."

"...But what I want to talk about is actually its previous owner - that is the protagonist of this story, Guril."

Jita raised her head with an unbelievable look. She thought about it again and again before asking: "You mean Gurriel?"

She placed her hand gently on her magic book.

"The Book of Time, this is the real name of this magic book, it is true," Layet looked at the magic book in Kita's hand and nodded, "But that is the magic book that Guriel used for the rest of his life.

, he spent his youth in the empire, holding this Book of Serpents until he embarked on the path of the Great Mage."

Jita subconsciously wanted to say that this was impossible, how could anyone experience two magic books in a lifetime. But she suddenly thought that she seemed to have gone a little further now, contracting two magic books at the same time, and two magic books.

There is no problem between the guides and the books, and they coexist peacefully.

Miss Scholar opened her mouth, but could not speak for a moment.

Laiette continued: "Most people think this is impossible. After all, how can one person contract two magic books in succession? But such a thing has indeed happened in history. The great magician

He read a revelation and a dream in the Book of Serpents. From that dream, he achieved his own transcendence, and was promoted to a reader after that. Then he left the proverbs and left the house of Carley."

"Mr. Karatu was a witness to the entire incident. The great magician came to the empire as a guest at that time and had a close relationship with his ancestors. The two of them jointly discovered the secrets from the books and came up with the story of the narrator and the reader.

The author and recorder have reliable evidence. However, the ancestor has never returned since then, and it was only a long time before we learned that he had become the owner of the Book of Time."

Kitta fell silent.

Karatu was a figure who lived more than a hundred years ago and was one of the legendary heroes in the Dragon Witch Disaster. He was active in an era when even the Lynn family had not yet been born, but it was indeed possible for the legendary great wizard to experience

experienced such an incident.

The Kalley family lost their magic book more than a century ago, and it was not found again until more than thirty years ago. It is exactly right in terms of time, and it has never been recorded in the scroll.

Karatu stayed in Kaolin-Yinxiulian all his life.

In fact, since the Dragon Witch disaster ended, this great wizard has been traveling around the continents.

However, Miss Scholar still questioned: "But according to the information, wasn't the magic book in Carley's family recovered from under the abyss?"

"Those are just rumors from the outside," Layet smiled softly. "People want to believe that there are many ancient relics under the Abyss. In fact, including several magic books from other families, only one is truly from the Abyss.

Most of the others came from the hands of the Holy Chosen. The Holy Chosen are well-informed. It was through the information obtained by you Holy Chosen that the Carley family found the location of the Book of Serpents.

and find it again.”

He looked at the book in Jita's hand, "Isn't it true that the Oak Knights of Tapolis used their own channels to locate the book in Miss Jita's hand, and then tried every possible means to find it? After all, in

When it comes to inquiring about information and finding treasures, no one on this continent can compare with you, the Chosen Ones."

"But Mr. Layette still didn't say what all this has to do with me." Kitta said calmly.

She didn't quite believe that there were such coincidences in the world.

Guriel is a mage from the Carleye family, and is the ancestor of the young man in front of him. He was once the owner of the Book of Serpents, and he also once controlled the Book of Time in his hand.

The only thing she knew clearly was the last point. Karatu had indeed told her so, and the Oak Knights of Tapolis did know its origins when they found the magic book - the Book of Time, Guriel's Magic Book.

Guide book.

It was based on this series of information that the guild recovered this precious magic book. As for how she stood out from the youth training camp and became one of the candidates for this magic book, then

Yet another story.

But even if all this is true, it still cannot explain why he is connected with the Book of Serpents, and how did the Book of Serpents become the Book of Life?

She secretly felt that the answer to all this lay in the young wizard of the Carlyle family in front of her.

Jita looked at the other party, and Layet seemed to have expected that she would guess the connection, and did not try to hide it. He just nodded and said: "This is related to that motto."

"motto?"

"The motto left by my ancestor Guriel," said Layet, "he found the advancement of readers from that dream, and left the family soon after, but before that he left behind

A proverb.”

"Does that proverb refer to what is happening now?" Kitta asked.

"No," Layet shook his head slightly, "that proverb is actually related to Xinta'an's great prophecy that lasted for nearly seven hundred years. Ancestor Guriel wrote down everything he saw in his dream.

A black-haired goddess whom he had never seen before gave him a revelation in that dream. In that revelation, he saw what our world would look like at the end of time - everything turned into ashes, even the stars

It has also become dim, the sea of ​​light has been completely extinguished, and the whole world is shrouded in eternal darkness."

"That proverb was too similar to the great prophecy seven hundred years ago, so it didn't attract much attention in the family at first. What's more, it's very common for a great wizard to travel in search of knowledge.

At first, people didn't expect that he would never return. But it wasn't until the Book of Serpents disappeared together with the ancestor Guriel, and returned to our hands more than thirty years ago, that everything foreseen in the Proverbs was realized one by one.

Gradually, I came to believe everything that Ancestor Guriel saw in that dream."

Jita couldn't help but think of the stone statue of the girl, and the black-haired girl hugging herself that she saw in the snake's dream, "Is that the goddess Mr. Gurriel saw in his dream?"

Layette still shook his head, "Except for the ancestor Guriel, no one has seen what the black-haired goddess looks like. There are several goddesses in the Olin pantheon, but Ms. Amaya, Mirala

None of the ladies have black hair. Although Ms. Roman has black hair, it is not consistent with what our ancestors described."

"I heard that Ms. Amaya has a twin sister who is a twin goddess." Jita said.

"We have also investigated this," Lalayet said. "Since the return of the Book of Serpents, the Kallaye family has gradually begun to face this prophecy, but Ms. Aimea's sister, the shadow in the jungle,

It is also very different from the goddess described in Proverbs.”

"Where is the blind girl Yin Lian?" Cui Xisi asked.

"The Carlyle family worships the snake. In fact, its symbol is transformed from the fatal kiss of the blind goddess of fate, Ms. Yin Lian. Although the goddess in the Proverbs is also blind, in the legend Ms. Yin Lian has

A head of snake hair, like the mythical Medusa."

Jita asked: "What about the icon in the room?"

"That icon is something that Pandoras protects," Layette thought for a moment before remembering that Jita didn't know the name of the big snake. "Pandoras is the guardian of the Book of Serpents. When

It already existed when the Carlyle family first obtained the Book of Serpents. But in fact, it did not always guard the Book of Serpents, but always guarded the holy statue."

He paused, "The icon is indeed exactly the same as the ancestor's description, but there has never been a similar god among the gods of Orin, and we don't know the origin of the icon. She is even related to the Dark Saints.

It doesn’t matter.”

Jita did not ask questions related to the Dark Saints. For a family like the Carley family, it would be too easy to investigate the Dark Saints. Although knowledge in the darkness is taboo, it is only for

For ordinary people.

She was silent for a while and then asked: "So what exactly is that motto?"

"The two books will return one by one," Layet replied. "The former book is ten thousand days and nights before the latter book, and the latter book will be the owner of the former book."

"The holder of the book will be the one I choose. She will lead you to that bright future. She is the teller, reader and recorder of the story. She is the only hope in the endless night."

"Death gives birth to the opportunity for new life, and dead trees will also grow new branches——"

"I didn't understand it at all," Trish shook her head, "So Kitta is the chosen one?"

She asked jokingly, but Layette nodded seriously, "The return of the Book of Serpents was indeed ten thousand days and nights ago in the second book, when Miss Kita used the power of the Book of Time for the first time.

At that time, the Eye of Kallay did indeed sense something, and all the signs were fulfilled one by one."

He said solemnly: "What's more, the empire is heading towards war. Everything the Seven Mage families have done is consistent with the prophecy. The Carley family is not too close to other families.

But I also know that there is another hand behind them pushing everything."

He looked at Kita and said, "Miss Britta is just a victim. I know that the Eisengreen family has connections with some other people in the Astrology Academy, but the Karleye family can't grasp the true whereabouts of those people. They have been there since

A tight network was laid out in the empire many years ago. Many events in the empire over the years, including the Ash-Lynn Incident twenty years ago, are closely related to it. However, the Eye of Kalley will more or less expose it.

Some secrets."

"Is it a cultist?" That was the real purpose of Miss Scholar's coming here. She had never forgotten why the Seven Seas Troupe came.

"Cultist."

Layette shook his head, "It would be that simple if it were true, but in fact it's not. I know you are looking for the movements of the Green Calamity's minions, but the Eisengreen family and the Griffin family have never revealed anything about it.

On the surface, there is no connection with the believers of the Dark Saints. The person you caught at the Grand Arbitration not long ago caused a big setback for the Hawke family, but in fact, the other party did not bite you to death. Why?

Where can I help you?"

"He only proved to himself in that big arbitration that his identity was suspicious. In fact, in Aitalia, there are only a few people whose identities are suspicious and who dare not reveal their identities in broad daylight. Most of them are related to the darkness.

There is some connection with those entities involved in the operation. But unfortunately, this is not enough. The investigation can no longer proceed at this stage. As for the president's counterattack, it is actually a method outside the rules. After that, it did cause Huo Huo's confusion.

There is some chaos in the Gram family.”

"Does His Majesty the Emperor not care?" Trixis's eyes widened. She knew some inside information about the empire, but her knowledge of the high-level officials was still limited. Moreover, even in the Super Competitive Alliance, having an affair with dark forces was an absolute taboo.

The incident that occurred at Covenant Mountain in the second world many years ago, although it was mainly in the third division, still caused an abyss of influence in other divisions.

"Even the Magic Emperor cannot point out who is involved with darkness and uproot that family," Layet replied, "What's more, His Majesty has his own ideas. As the Supreme One, how can he easily let others do it?"

Guess what’s going on.”

"I still don't understand," Trish said, "So what does this have to do with us? Even if the Carlisle family really sees that future and wants to save themselves, what can Jita and I do? You can do it.

Can we solve the problem that cannot be solved with just a few of us Holy Chosen Ones?"

"It's Miss Gita, not you." Layet looked at her deeply and stopped her from embellishing her face. "Of course, if you are the knight she chooses, this status is not acceptable.

Not respected."

"You——" Cui Xisi was a little confused.

The last secret door opened in front of the three people.

Lailayet stopped and took a look behind the secret door, which seemed to be a solemn hall. "The magicians of the Kallaiye family have never believed in outsiders, but in the eyes of poisonous snakes. If we say that we have confidence in prophecies,

There is still the slightest doubt, but the moment the Eye of Kallay sensed you, we were convinced."

He turned back and looked at Jita: "If you still have doubts about the whole incident and want to know what the real purpose of the other magician families is, you will naturally not get an answer if you ask me. Although Carle is one of the Seven Magicians,

One of the Guidance families, but Miss Kita should also know that we are not too close to other families. But you might as well ask the Viper's Eye - it will give different answers to everyone's questions.

You might find the real answer in it."

"Why?"

Jita stopped and asked. She was not asking for the answer to this question, but she wanted to ask why the other party trusted her so much. Although the other party had already given the answer before, she still felt that it was too hasty.

"I have already said the reason. You are the only heir to the Book of Guriel, his student, and the only person he appointed," Layet replied: "Of course, even we don't dare to believe it.

It’s a maxim, but it doesn’t matter, the Eyes of Kallaye will give the answer.”

"What if we are not?" Cui Xisi seemed to have assumed the identity, "then don't you want to keep us here?"

It's not that she's not free, but that contract still leaves a faint burning pain in her soul on the mark of Xinghui.

She didn't want to lose Xinghui for no reason.

Layet did not answer her, but looked at Jita: "Nothing comes without a price. Since Miss Jita was discovered by the Eye of the Serpent, she should not have thought that she could escape unscathed. Since you have stepped into this

You should have thought about all the consequences, right?"

Jita nodded slightly and simply asked: "Is the real Eye of Kallay here? But I just saw another Eye of the Serpent in that hall."

Layet smiled slightly, "The Eye of the Serpent has never been a specific existence. It is just an outsider's inherent understanding of it. This sacred object actually has the same origin as the Book of Serpents. As for what it is,

Miss Kita will understand once you see her."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

Jita looked at the darkness in front of her and took a breath, but Lailayet was right. Since she came here to seek the truth, and now that Carla Laiye's family is willing to defect, she has no reason to do it for a little bit.

The risk stops there.

When she came here, she was naturally prepared for everything.
