"...Do you still remember the past, the winter in Roble, the year I took you to live there..."
The crowd gradually dispersed, and there were only low sobbing sounds in the dark room, as if someone was crying, whimpering like a wounded beast. Other than that, there were some small conversations. The memory of that period was hazy and fuzzy. I always felt that someone was crying.
What are you arguing about?
Two bleak eyes were like candle flames in the wind. The familiar yet unfamiliar face in his memory had not known when traces of time had appeared on it. The old man looked at the girl in front of him with his remaining consciousness, feeling drowsy.
Among all the strangeness, only that gaze made her feel the most at ease, as if it was connected to the past yesterday.
The old man looked at her as if he were looking at his most precious possessions, and raised his hand slightly.
She hurriedly lowered her head so that her father could touch her cheek. She responded with a rough touch from that palm. It was different from what she had felt in the past. Her skin was dry and cracked, but only the residual warmth remained.
It snowed rarely in Roble that year——
Lying on that large snow-white bed, I could only stare blankly at the sky outside the window, but it was not boring - because the flames in the furnace were jumping and the snowflakes were pure white. Roble was the place that young Laila loved.
, that piece of elven-like mountains and plains.
And once autumn is over, she will be able to see her father.
That tall and handsome middle-aged man was her father. She knew that from the beginning. But he always looked at her with a melancholy look in his eyes, standing there like a stone statue. If she didn't say anything,
It seemed like he could keep looking like that.
But sometimes she would ask for a hug, and her father would often hug her gently. Only at that time would he show a smile, which was the warmest moment in her memory.
At that time, he was not as old as he would be later, and his hair was black except for a few strands of silver needles.
In the dreary days that followed, only the short, fat servant girl standing by the bed was crying all day long. Instead, she needed to comfort that poor person. She would smile knowingly when she remembered that incident.
But in comparison, she liked her mother more, because she remembered her mother as quiet and calm, and would visit her twice every day in the morning and afternoon.
And tell her that story——
"Laila, you are my daughter." She has a pair of golden eyes and long black hair that is rare among mountain people. She is like a beauty walking out of a painting. Her mother always looks very quiet, and the servants secretly say that she is from
She is the eldest lady of the empire, but her mother is actually a mountain dweller, a daughter of the forest.
She often pointed to her heart and said to her: "You are everything to me, and one day I will take you away, Laila."
"What about father?"
"He will agree."
The memory after that ended abruptly.
I only remember the golden sunset over Viatlis Bay and the sea of fire.
Her mother called her name in the sea of fire. She smiled and looked at herself.
The servants were running around in panic in the manor, scorching flames, and he was lying in a pool of blood, with the exquisite dagger stuck in his young chest.
The firelight reflected the golden butterfly wings on the handle of the knife.
"But am I...dead...?"
"But they said... I had a strange disease..., what kind of strange disease was it... What happened to me? Why can't I remember the past at all, father...?"
Laila put her hand on her chest.
But there were no wounds there.
The old man's hand gently caressed her cheek, and his eyes flashed with the last brilliance. That dazzling brilliance seemed to hide the most energetic side of a former great wizard. His daughter has not died, because he has changed.
everything.
He took her back from the hands of the gods.
Thank you Ms. Mirella.
She is still kind.
"No, you will be fine, Laila," the old voice said intermittently and quietly, "live well and I will watch you grow up. Even if I am no longer there that day, my
Longing will still turn into every ray of wind on this land..."
"When one day you think of all this, the wind accompanied my footsteps across every inch of land above the sea of clouds, in the melting snow of Roble, in the golden sunset of Viatris Bay, you once
The sea of flowers that I have seen will be by your side all the time..."
"You will grow up and have everything you have lost, and I will gaze at that beautiful vision until the end of everything."
May knowledge and light, life and destiny favor you.
my daughter……
When Laila raised her head, tears had already blurred her vision. She was still a person, she would shed tears, be heartbroken, be happy, and be angry. She had made promises to her future self in that dark attic more than once.
Make a wish.
Just like blowing out a candle flame, the little bit of humble and prudent tomorrow that the girl expected, the beautiful expectations for destiny, everything she loved, and the destiny she was looking for were all stored in her memory bit by bit.
It turned into fragments.
All hardships never knocked her down——
The girl walks timidly but strongly on that road, on the road that belongs to her. She is not anyone else, but just herself. She will find everything that belongs to her and become that
The real her.
Leila Lynn.
Her mother took her life.
But her father gave her a second life.
The old man on that bed, the great magician exhausted all his efforts. He lost everything, but he still got her - at the last moment of his life, he gave all his best things to him.
With all my wishes, I gave myself everything I cherished most——
His daughter.
Laila burst into tears, and the fog had already blurred her lenses. The moment the blazing flame in her chest woke up, she remembered everything.
"Adna, my daughter is not a tool."
"I understand, but we only have this option -"
Those were two distant voices.
But the overlapping shadows have gone away.
Only the nightmare hidden in the heart is awakening, and it has transformed into the image of a woman. That quiet and serene woman is emerging from behind the middle-aged man, like an illusion turning into reality, and finally staying there.
She looked at Laila and smiled.
The middle-aged man turned around, stroked his chest and saluted him.
"Lord Ksenia."
The woman looked at the girl with calm eyes, her long black hair was like satin, and her golden pupils contained a hint of a snake-like smile. "Do you still remember the story I told you? You are everything to me.
One day I will take you away."
"Now, it's time," the woman stood in the center of the square, surrounded by many eyes, but her eyes were only looking at Laila from beginning to end. "Come here and leave with me."
Laila seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene. She backed away with a pale face, "No... no... I'm not..." The mother in her memory had long passed away, leaving only the woman who was as mysterious as the elf in the forest.
, in the sea of fire thirty years ago, holding a dagger with a cold light——
Staring at her coldly.
The coldness in those eyes made the girl shudder, just like this moment.
Luo Yu watched this scene silently, looked at the middle-aged man, and also looked at the strange woman.
"Who are you!?" The warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon finally noticed the anomaly and asked loudly, how did this woman enter the arena? The previous weird spell made them feel a little uneasy.
, that teleportation spell is not of any type they are familiar with.
But the woman turned a deaf ear and only pointed a finger at Laila.
"you--!"
The warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon were shocked and angry - no matter what the middle-aged man said was true or false, it was still not the turn of outsiders to control this place. Even if the little girl really killed someone, a trainee magician would
It must first be submitted to the Council of Stars and Moon for trial.
They took action immediately.
But someone reacted faster than them. A protective spell came first and Luo Yu opened a shield in front of Laila.
Then the magicians' spells to break the curse came one by one, but the red light emitted from the woman's fingertips incredibly passed through everyone's spells, and even penetrated Luo Yu's shield as if it were nothing - and then
A precise hit on Leila.
"It's not an attack effect!"
The warlocks reacted.
Luo Yu also turned back to check on Laila's condition.
But that spell was indeed not an attack spell. It just made Laila dazed for a while. The woman raised her hand, and Laila stumbled forward like a marionette and knelt on the ground. Something flew out of the pocket on her waist.
came out and fell to the ground.
When the woman called him, the thing flew straight into his hand.
"Spell," someone recognized him. "A magician from the Seven Sorcerers' Family?"
The woman held up the object and floated gently under her guidance. It actually flew up and hovered on her side.
It was an exquisite star tracker, its three orbits all rotated evenly under the influence of ether, and kept rotating around the woman's fingertips at a constant speed.
The woman was watching all of this with admiration, "Ash Lynn's masterpiece, that idiot Eldwin can't recognize Taishan when it is placed in front of him. On the contrary,
To worry about those worthless pieces of paper——"
Luo Yu heard that name and recognized that it was the former director of the Patrol Cavalry Department.
The warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon still wanted to make a move, but the middle-aged man had already stopped in front of them. A thick magic book appeared next to him. When the warlocks saw this scene, their faces changed greatly: "
Magic Book, are you the great magician of this generation of the Hawke family and the owner of the Magic Book of Death?"
The middle-aged man did not explain his origins, but stood quietly beside the woman, like a servant.
The magicians in the council were all shocked and confused when they saw this scene, but they did not take a step forward. Needless to say, the status of the great magician was, not to mention that the other party was the owner of the Book of Death. Originally, the Seven Magician Family was implicitly superior.
In the parliament, they don't want to get into trouble.
Although everyone has some doubts, isn't it that the Emperor is very dissatisfied with the Seven Sorcerers family? There are even rumors claiming that the attack on Apenand was actually led by the Imperial Army, and that it was the Emperor who was behind it.
The supreme magic emperor.
There are rumors outside that the Seven Mage Family is in turmoil, but with the appearance of the Great Mage of the Hawk family, wouldn't those rumors be self-defeating?
At this moment, there was silence in the square. Behind the Seven Mage Family was the Council of Seven Sages, and the Council of Seven Sages had already exerted deep influence on Osur Star and the Tower of the Moon in all aspects.
As the magicians of the parliament, they naturally know who their immediate superiors are.
For a moment, people seemed to be under a spell and fell silent.
But all this only happened between the great magician and the warlocks from the Tower of Stars and Moon, and the woman never looked at anyone else from the beginning to the end. Her eyes only fell on Laila.
It's like it's some kind of rare treasure.
Ever since she was hit by the previous spell, the girl has been as motionless as a puppet.
Laila's eyes were empty, and she was looking forward blankly, with tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
The woman gently held up the star tracker and said: "The prophecy of the Eisengreen family really came true. Who would have thought that Adna Linstern would divide her creation into pieces after catching a glimpse of the green star?
Second, if that man hadn’t been obsessed with his daughter, we might not be able to see it today.”
"It's just that no one thought that the old guy Ash Lynn would put the key in his life's masterpiece," she turned the little gadget. "Everyone disdains his Horfen school, but he
He just made this little joke on us."
"It's really humorous, but it doesn't mean much."
She pointed the star tracker at her daughter and looked at her with a gentle gaze, "My daughter, do you still remember the stories I told you? They are all true..."
"only--"
The girl is not the one she likes.
Under the woman's fiddling, a ray of light emitted from the star track, and the light was connected to the chest of the girl on the other side like a link. The secret of the star device created by Adna Linstern was for the old man
After transforming into an Arcane Doll.
Half of it is a secret.
It should be hidden in this girl.
This girl inherited the name of her daughter, but she didn't care because the past days were just part of the plan.
She looked at the girl and smiled softly, "Instead of living in pain in this world, it is better to die like this - you should have died thirty years ago, that man just gave you a twisted life.
"
"At least after this, you can stay with your mother forever..."
"Remember Roble's melting snow?"
"Many lives do not survive the winter, and they do not need to see the flowers bloom next year. That is your fate, daughter."
Silver light penetrated into the girl's chest.
When this strange scene happened, the square was completely silent. The magicians looked at each other, but no one reacted.
It was as if she was really just the daughter of a criminal, a murderer, and a liar, and was not worthy of any of them to fight against the seven families. It was as if the previous sense of justice was gone at this moment.
Now that a great mage has pointed out the ‘truth’ of everything——
So maybe it's okay if this matter ends like this. Why bother mentioning everything that happened twenty years ago again.
The next moment, the silver light dissipated, and the woman's eyes showed satisfaction. She smiled slightly, and finally waved to her daughter - as if she were a truly gentle mother: "Laila, come to mother."
But there was deathly silence——
The girl still stood there numbly, without any reaction.
After a while, she blinked slightly, and her eyes regained clarity. The girl looked at her mother in front of her, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes. The moment she regained consciousness, she took a step back in fear.
The proud look gradually solidified on Ksenia's face.
She looked at this scene in disbelief, then looked at the star tracker in her hand, and her two slender eyebrows gradually came together, "How is this possible!" Her voice was filled with anger - wasn't this what Ash...
Isn't that the star tracker left by that bastard Linn? Shouldn't it be the key to activating this magic device?
But her voice stopped suddenly.
Because Ksenia saw that in the hand of the elementalist not far away, a star tracker exactly like the one in her hand suddenly rose.
The three orbits of the star tracker rotated equally evenly, and the invisible force made it float on Luo Yu's hand, as if it was a silent taunt.
A look of anger gradually appeared on the woman's face, as if she had witnessed an incredible stage play in a most absurd dream, and the actors in the play were everyone present.
But sometimes.
The most dramatic turns on the stage often happen quietly.
Luo Yu released the star tracker, and then silently looked at the two people in front of him - a man and a woman. The expression on the middle-aged man's face gradually changed, while the woman - Laila's mother was already confused.
Stare at him.
There is no trace of the calmness on his face that he had before.
"What is that?" Ksenia stared at the thing in his hand and asked through gritted teeth.
Perhaps, this is the answer she is looking for——
But it was more than one thing from the beginning.
Because it was never the original, and he had already thought about this moment since he proposed to copy this batch of fakes from the manuscript.
That lie that was twisted by people's hearts, everything that was buried under the dust twenty years ago, what was the purpose of the seven magician families joining forces to kill the Horfen School, and what did they lose in that past history?
Woolen cloth?
They have been entangled in this whirlpool since the beginning of the Hart Principality, and from the constant entanglement of the Death Come guild, from the hysteria of the Mage family, they finally saw the answer——
But in fact, that answer has already been written by Ash Lynn.
What is the thing he values most in his life?
Luo Yu looked at the girl with glasses and pear blossoms. Underneath her shyness lay real courage - Leila Lynn, which was exactly her name when she was a child.
She was the only daughter of the great mage. She died of a disease thirty years ago. After that, Ash Lynn never mentioned her past in front of the world. He founded Horfen
school.
and devote the rest of his life to it.
What exactly is Ash Lynn's legacy?
If Alyssa was here, that Miss Nightingale who likes to tease people, she might ask everyone here with a smile, ask the man and woman in front of her, ask those warlocks in the Tower of Stars and Moon, ask them
.
Do you still remember everything that happened in that great arbitration?
When Fang Pliong threw the manuscript in front of the young man, he told him loudly:
Ash Lynn’s true legacy lies here—
…
On the Seven Seas Traveler, Dariel was leaning against the porthole, looking at the gloomy sky outside and paying attention to the movements in the port.
Tianlan was pestering her to ask about Luo Yu and Jita's plans. Fang Pulong asked her to stay on the boat well before leaving today. Miss Poet had a keen wit and immediately realized what would happen today.
"What exactly is Sir Ash Lynn's legacy," she asked, "Brother Ed said he told us a long time ago, why didn't I know?"
Dariel recalled everything he saw during that great arbitration.
She also didn't expect that she would stay on this ship after that, even though that was the order of the Holy Maiden.
"A piece of trivia——"
Dalil turned around and said to Tianlan: "Under the gaze of all the saints, you cannot lie."
Yes, that's the answer to everything.
But Luo Yu knew very well - unfortunately, those who are always accustomed to ignoring the things that are most cherished in others' hearts naturally cannot understand the meaning of that sentence.
Ash Lynn has already written everything in the manuscript, but those who have missed the real treasure do not know it, but those who can truly understand everything in the manuscript already know the answer to that question.
He still remembered the commission given to him by Fang Plover when he left Aiyin Block for the second time:
"Sir Ash Lynn left a mystery on Lyra. We just don't know the answer to that mystery yet, but there is no doubt that it must be related to the left-over star device."
"That shouldn't be the invention of the great magician. I just want to find the real operator of that design. I think it must be related to those dragon hunters and the last missing clue among the many clues we are looking for.
That part must be related."
"Where did the descendants of the Flame Blade Workshop go? Are Jeldham's descendants the inventors of the Dragon Hunters? What was the purpose of the Seven Sorcerers twenty years ago? How did they treat Horfin?
The school takes action.”
Fang Yu took a look at the manuscript.
"Take good care of Laila, she just doesn't know all this yet, but we already know who the opponent is. If the Seven Magicians family is really related to the Shadow Man, then they will not give up easily -"
"There's no need to force that poor girl. If she doesn't want to tell, there's no need to ask."
Luo Yu didn't say much, he just nodded silently.
And that was the real reason why he appeared here to guard this mage lady.
But unfortunately, Luo Yu is not really Elissa - she is the nightingale who likes to tease people - he has always been silent and does not like to talk nonsense, so naturally he will not tell Ksenia in front of him the answer to all this.
Every word he says next has its meaning.
Facing Ksenia's question, Luo Yu turned around under the gaze of everyone, and swept his eyes one by one over the silent warlocks, Laila, the old businessman Pushe, and the young people.
Finally, it stopped at Elion.
Elion was startled by his gaze. After all, he was a high-level mage. If the other party suddenly attacked him, none of the surrounding mages of the same level would be able to save him. He quickly turned his panicked gaze to him.
The middle-aged man on the side.
But Luo Yu did not take action against him, but asked calmly: "In the imperial writings, what are the initial letters of your names?"
Elion was slightly startled.
The character at the beginning of his name is J, and the character at the beginning of Juno's name is D. But why did the other party ask this?
However, Luo Yu didn't actually need him to answer. He only looked at Juno beside him for a moment, as if he already had the answer. He looked at the other person deeply and said: "When Britta was killed, where were you?"
place?"
This question made Elion's hair freeze.
He looked at the other party alertly and opened his mouth, but Juno on the side answered decisively first: "We were not in the academy at that time -"
He suddenly got stuck.
Because he found that his voice was becoming shrill and thin, and his voice was getting weaker and weaker, Juno's face gradually turned blood red, and he looked at the young high-level magician with some horror - Detecting Lies
.
When did the other party cast the spell?
He looked at the others with some horror. In fact, he should have taken precautions long ago. He was an academy student himself, and of course he knew the ever-changing methods of spell casters. However, because the incident happened suddenly, he had already thought that the dust had settled.
Who would have thought that the person in front of them would ambush them here.
He was so frightened that he shut his mouth.
But what was unexpected was that Luo Yu no longer asked, but turned to one side - as if all the answers were as he expected, so clear that there was no need to say more. He only raised the elemental magic wand in his hand,
Point to one person in the crowd.
That was none other than the old businessman Pushe standing there.
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically when he saw this scene, and he shouted angrily: "How dare you!" The magic book floating in his hand opened automatically, and a dark tentacle rolled out from it, forming a hundred feet long in an instant and sweeping towards Luo Yu.
Come.
But the tentacles seemed to have hit a stone statue, causing Luo Yu to burst apart, like countless pieces of soil scattering, falling to the ground, and then gathering together again to form the image of an elementalist. Luo Yu didn't even look at him, and moved from his staff.
A red light shot out from its head until it hit the old businessman.
The middle-aged man's face turned red with anger. He didn't expect that he, a great magician, would be ignored. He snorted coldly, put his hand on the magic book and chanted loudly: "...It's like walking into a mirror.
world, they see themselves in the mirror..."
The air formed a refracted reflection in front of him, and actually twisted into a continuous mirror. The red ray emitted by Luo Yu hit the mirror, but the reflection he imagined did not appear. The red light directly penetrated the air mirror.
Then he hit Pushe in the back——
But that's all.
The red beam of light was like the phantom of melting ice and snow. After hitting Pushe, it became transparent and penetrated directly through the old businessman, piercing him.
The crowd around them were all stunned. Most of them were contestants in this competition, or students from various colleges. They had never seen a battle at this level. In fact, they had only seen the woman's incredible spell before.
It was obvious that all the warlocks in the council had cast the spell of understanding at that time, but that spell bypassed everyone's spellcasting, penetrated Luo Yu's shield, and finally hit Laila.
There was no discount at all.
And now Luo Yu did it again, but the difference was that after the red ray hit Pushe, the old businessman was startled, and he subconsciously pressed his chest, but what?
Didn't happen either.
In full view of everyone, his hand actually passed through the ray.
Water illusion, refraction.
The middle-aged man's eyes twitched and he realized something was wrong. Although he had already known from the information that his opponent was good at water and earth spells, he did not expect that this Holy Chosen Elementalist would be so changeable in actual combat——
He raised his head and saw a giant ice claw appearing behind Pushe.
Luo Yu stretched out his hand and pressed down.
But before the claw could reach Pushe, a solid wall was erected in the space, and the giant ice claw hit the invisible force field and shattered into pieces.
The woman snorted coldly, and also shot a foreign spell at Luo Yu. It was a giant rock claw, which was almost exactly the same as the giant ice claw that Luo Yu had mimicked before, "Ash Linn's little trick.
Don’t think you’re the only one who can use it.”
Everyone was stunned.
Isn't that woman a conjurer? Where did this elemental spell come from?
However, the opponent's casting speed was even a few minutes faster than that middle-aged man. Before Luo Yu had time to react, the giant claw had already hit him - to be precise, it hit the magic furnace's opening
's shield.
Everyone heard a loud noise and Luo Yu flew out, but before they had time to sigh, they heard a scream - but of course it was not Luo Yu's scream, but that of the old businessman Pushe.
.
After people were stunned for a moment, they realized that the direction Luo Yu flew out was exactly the direction of the old businessman Pu She.
The young elementalist collided directly with the opponent - the former's opened magic shield protected Zhou Quan, but the latter was not so lucky. Ksenia's face was ashen as he looked at Luo Yu, who was almost half dead.
Dipushe was picked up from the ground, but he still didn't understand that he had been tricked.
She gritted her teeth and threw the suspended star tracker to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
How could Ksenia still not understand that Luo Yu was trying to trick her from the beginning, and the other party didn't even try his best to attack Pushe with the spell——
She was naturally familiar with the broken star tracker - it was just a gadget made by that guy Ash Lynn. The arrogant guy claimed that he could open up a new school of thought, but in fact the star tracker
The principle of the instrument is actually very simple, it just stores some pre-engraved spells in it.
In essence, it was no different from an auxiliary magic wand. If it hadn't been for the fact that it might hold the secret to finding the real star device, she wouldn't even bother to look at this toy.
But she never thought that she would actually fall on this relic left by Ash Lynn.
The spells stored in that magic device were undoubtedly designed in advance.
Just thinking about this, the woman suddenly raised her head in horror - then why could the other party design the spell in advance? Could it be that he had known that he would come and would take the star tracker away from Laila?
However, Luo Yu would not answer this question.
He just silently looked at the dying Pushe in his hands, watching the black flames burning out of the poor old businessman's body, surging out of his eyes, nose and ears, and finally engulfing him completely.
Luo Yu let go of his hand and watched the flames turn into a human form that screamed hoarsely and never stopped in the square for a long time.
He sighed slightly. In fact, he had already thought of this result when he saw Pushe. But he didn't expect that in order to lead Laila into this trap, these people would not hesitate to hurt those who were even related to this.
Not a big person.
He apologized silently in his heart, then raised his head and looked at everyone in the square.
The young man's eyes were silent.
You can hear a needle drop in the square.
If most people look at this scene and still don’t know what happened, the faces of the warlocks in the Tower of Stars and Moon changed drastically the moment they saw the black flames.
The empire is a remote place.
But as old enemies, it is impossible for the Imperial people not to have paid attention to the battle in the north, so it is naturally impossible for them not to know the characteristics of the Shadow Man.
"This is……"
"That man is possessed... This is the Shadow Man..."
Elion's face turned white.
Juno on the side was also trembling. They naturally knew the consequences of colluding with dark creatures.
At this moment, it seems that the truth has long been revealed. Everything that happened before now seems to be just a complete farce. It turns out that the girl may be really innocent. No one would have thought that this high-ranking person from Kaolin-Ithulian
The magician only uses one word and one spell.
The truth was revealed——
But the warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon remained silent. Of course they noticed the strange atmosphere. Is all this really just to find the murderer? Or is it just a conspiracy in the first place.
But the mastermind of that conspiracy...
The warlocks all looked at the great wizard of the Hawke family.
Luo Yu didn't care about this at all. He just walked to Laila silently and looked at the girl, who was staring blankly at the burning black flame.
"I'm sorry," Luo Yu said, "I failed to protect Mr. Pushe. I didn't expect that they would attack people outside the academy."
Laila said nothing.
She once thought she was strong enough, but she never imagined that something like this would happen to her.
She brings disaster to everyone around her, whether it is Britta, Mr. Pusher, or her own father, but who is she?
Is she really Leila Lynn...
But that name should have died thirty years ago.
So what is the value of her fake life?
Tears rolled down the girl's cheeks...
"Do you remember everything?" Luo Yu asked.
She nodded slightly.
"There is no need to feel confused about this," Luo Yu thought for a moment, and then said: "The value of people's existence often depends on the people around them, as well as your own understanding of yourself. How does Sir Ash Lynn see you?
, this is beyond dispute.”
"The Horfen School is his greatest pride, but in the end, it was all just for that little girl. That is you, Miss Leila, that jazz gentleman's biggest regret in his life."
"He didn't want to leave in such a hurry, but at the last moment of the Horfen School, he still made up his mind to use the magic device he designed as the container for your soul," Luo Yu replied: "No matter what, you are alive.
Come here and become the continuation of your own life——"
"You already knew this," Laila asked in a daze, "Mr. Luo Yu?"
"Sir Linn recorded everything in that manuscript," Luo Yu replied, "I have actually known your experience since the first time I saw the manuscript, but I'm sorry, for the purpose of protecting you, I didn't
I can tell you this."
"This is also a decision jointly made by the leader and I," he said: "The leader also cares about you."
"You have lost all your memories since you were five years old, but it's just because you have been sleeping since then, that's all--"
Laila bit her lip and nodded.
"But..." she asked, "people from the Seven Mage Family have also read the manuscript..."
Luo Yu shook his head: "If the Seven Mage Family really understands the meaning of the Horfen School, they will not abandon that manuscript. We have never even lied to them. But as Miss Sylvide said
It is said that people who are accustomed to conspiracy will never believe in those things that are upright and upright."
"We put everything out there, but they turned a blind eye."
He paused.
"So..." Laila asked again, "What Britta said is true. Does the Horfen School really exist?"
When she mentioned her best friend, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Luo Yu nodded slightly.
And more than that——
Different from those lies that twist people's hearts, different from the truth that the Seven Sorcerers families tried their best to hide, the Horfen School not only exists, but also, as the Sir claimed - it will profoundly change people's view of magic.
Technical cognition.
Luo Yu put the magic wand in his hand on the ground and asked softly: "Do you want to see it?"
Laila looked up.
Not far away, the middle-aged man faced a group of warlocks from the Tower of Stars and Moon with a pale face and angrily shouted:
"Why, are you questioning me?"
The warlocks looked at each other.
The middle-aged man said with a straight face: "He used evil spells to kill the witnesses, didn't you see? That black flame is suspicious. It is probably the same as the darkness that appeared in the battle in the northern border of Kaolin-Ithurion."
It seems that it is not only the woman, but also the accomplice of the cultists."
But of course the warlocks couldn't believe his words, because the evidence and evidence were too obvious, and the burning black flame made all the previous testimonies seem so flimsy.
When the middle-aged man saw this, his face finally darkened.
He took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Your Majesty has issued a warrant that all passengers on the Seven Seas Traveler are suspected of participating in a conspiracy related to cultists, which is related to the attack on Archduke Apenande Hawke."
Close relationship, I now order you to arrest everyone related to it immediately!"
The faces of the warlocks changed drastically.
There was silence in the square and then there was an uproar.
No one expected that what was originally just a game decision would eventually involve two murders, and finally even the attack of a grand duke, and even a delegation from Corin-Ithulian.
, was directly declared as treason.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a frame-up, but the frame-up itself was not important. What was important was that His Majesty the Emperor was endorsing it. At that moment, everyone understood that the Seven Mage Family was not being blamed.
On the contrary -
The Seven Mage Family won the battle against the alchemists.
A shudder passed through the crowd, and anyone with a little more flexibility would immediately smell something unusual - the empire was about to change.
Luo Yu naturally heard the middle-aged man's shouting clearly, but there was not even a trace of unnecessary expression on his face. He only pointed the magic wand in his hand to one side. The clockwork fairy above there moved his gaze, and a bolt of lightning immediately fell from the mid-air.
Shoot down a magical messenger rising from the forest.
There wasn't much time left for him.
He must first stop these people from asking for help from the Tower of Stars and Moon Council.
Luo Yu put down the magic wand in his hand, turned around and looked at Laila behind him - the girl had still recovered from the previous question, and Luo Yu asked another question:
"Miss Laila, do you want to become a real wizard?"
Laila was stunned, "What did you say, Mr. Luo Yu?"
Luo Yu didn't say much. He just threw the magic wand that originally belonged to Laila back to her and said, "Catch it."
The girl hurriedly caught the magic wand.
Luo Yu then said: "Sir Ash Lynn, your father, he created this truly great magic art twenty years ago." He looked forward, as if he saw the door in his eyes.
The moment when magic was born.
That's all he's looking for.
It turns out that as early as twenty years ago, someone had already left a direction for future generations in this world above the sea of clouds.
He said: "The most precious part of the inheritance is actually you, Miss Laila, the daughter of the magician."
"The star tracker is just the key to open that door," he continued the story. "What the Horfen School pursues is just how people can break through their own limits and break the boundaries between schools."
However, the magic weapon itself cannot fulfill this important task.
Everything will eventually be trapped by the elemental properties of its core crystal. After thousands of years of exploration, people have only found a special kind of magical device such as a magic book.
But this kind of magic weapon, which is almost an artifact, is something that is rare for mortals.
But engraving the spell into the soul - no, letting the magic weapon give birth to a real soul, an arcane doll with wisdom that can learn and grow.
When it resonates with the magician.
Thus the most powerful magic weapon in the world was born.
"Your father did not intend to put you into this container," Luo Yu said, "because you are his daughter, the treasure he cherishes in his life. Mr. Sir, embarking on this path is actually just to put you in this container.
You wake up—"
"But the Horfen School has encountered a catastrophe, and it is impossible to leave him any more time when he is dying. If he does not choose to continue on this path, then he will lose the only opportunity to let you return to this world.
"
"So," Luo Yu said, "this is the reason why you are here, Miss Laila."
"So your life has never been a designed tool. You have many enemies, but you also have many friends. In the eyes of your friends, you are a real, living person. Your happiness and anger will all remain in your heart.
In the memory of their long lives.”
"This--"
"It is your father, Sir Ash Lynn, who left you real wealth and a real life."
"And now," Luo Yu looked at her and said, "I need to rely on your strength, Miss Laila."
He was picking up his magic gloves——
The reason why people fail to understand this, or even fail to understand the real treasure contained in the manuscript, is actually very simple.
He gently put the magic weapon that should only belong to the combat craftsman and alchemist on his left hand, then raised his hand and answered to Laila, "Do you still remember your question? In fact, it's just because they are not
Fighting Craftsman."
"That's all."
At that moment, a voice emerged in Laila's heart.
"Miss Laila, please connect."
Laila's eyes widened and she watched a star tracker emerging from Luo Yu's shoulder. She looked at the star tracker with a crack on the star track in surprise, and immediately recognized this familiar magical thing.
The origin of the guide.
Isn't that the star tracker she gave to President Friston?
Not far away, Ksenia was also staring at the star tracker in amazement. Until this moment, she still didn't know that she had been tricked. The other party actually used a batch of fakes to get rid of her. The other party almost
He was so angry that he screamed:
"That's the key!"
"Damn it, take it back!"
And the next moment.
In Laila's shocked eyes, some completely unfamiliar knowledge suddenly poured into her mind. It seemed that a steady stream of power was coming from the magic wand in her hand. All the questions about the ether that she had not known in the past.
.
But at this moment, they all got clear answers.
And the spell that first appeared in the girl's mind.
It's the curse-breaking spell she once cast -
Luo Yu pointed his magic wand forward.
An ice blade formed out of thin air, directly hitting the warlock of the Star and Moon Tower closest to him, and freezing the opponent directly into an ice sculpture.
At the same time, the ice blade spell appeared in Laila's mind - the next moment she involuntarily raised her magic wand and cast an ice blade spell just like Luo Yu did.
"Laila, switch to earth system."
Laila's eyes widened, not understanding what was going on, but the earth spell was indeed included in that knowledge.
She cast a shield of the earth, and the spell was copied in Luo Yu's thoughts without any loss. The latter did not stop and cast an identical shield of the earth for himself.
"Mr. Luo Yu!?"
Laila was stunned, what was going on.
In an instant, the two of them cast four spells, and the level of each spell was at least high-level.
Luo Yu's actual combat level is far ahead of the warlocks of the Tower of Stars and Moon, not to mention the two of them combined, their different spell switching is like four people casting spells at the same time.
He has even vaguely entered the realm of the Great Mage——
The warlocks in the Tower of Stars and Moon were caught off guard and fell into chaos. They were knocked down before they even had time to react. However, Kseniya was still able to keep his composure and said angrily: "I think you can
You can escape from this place."
As soon as she raised her hand, a bolt of lightning shot towards Luo Yu.
Luo Yu used the earth shield to cover up the lightning, but finally his hand movements stagnated and slowed down.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man seized this opportunity, opened the magic book in his hand again, and was about to summon a dark tentacle. But at that moment, a slender, female hand stretched out from the void.
The owner of that hand gently pressed the page with his index finger, middle finger and ring finger to stop his movement, and then a clear voice came from the void: "The story that has not yet been told will surely come to an end. There is only one piece in the unopened book."
blank--"
"Magic book, hinge."
As if the Book of Death no longer obeyed his orders, it flew out of his hand, floated into the air, and then hinged together.
The seal status has been restored again.
The middle-aged man's face changed wildly. He raised his head and looked in that direction, "A real naturalist and reader!?"
"No."
The voice in the void smiled.
"The person who climbed up the stairs, the sweeper of the dust of history, the pen that left the words on the scroll——"
She said softly: "The recorder of destiny."
…
On the Seven Seas Traveler, after Dalier and Tianlan explained everything in detail, the eyes that had been looking out of the porthole suddenly moved. She stood up from the window, then walked to the other side and looked outside.
scene.
"What's wrong?" Tian Lan looked at this scene strangely, "Did something happen outside?"
Miss Catman shook her head, "Someone is watching us. The two floating ships at Pier 7 and Pier 12 are coming in and out abnormally. They have blocked our way out of the port."
"They showed their weapons—"
She looked at Tianlan: "Go and notify Mr. Baggins so that he can be ready to raise the sail at any time."
She raised her head: "Miss Tata, there is something going on here."
A quiet voice came from the void.
"I've noticed it."
"The Seven Seas Traveler will weigh anchor within a quarter of an hour. The process will be a bit steep. Please be prepared for precautions——"
But within five minutes.
Under the gaze of the Imperial soldiers disguised as ordinary sailors on the floating ship that crossed the route, the mast of the empty small floating ship in front of them automatically turned, and the different sail surfaces seemed to be controlled by ghosts.
The masts were lowered one by one.
Without any human control at all, it turned automatically, revealing the air combat deck on one side, and the deck there opened left and right, revealing rows of heavy air combat structures with exposed fangs from behind.
spear.
Point in their direction.
The imperial soldiers' eyes widened, and at that moment only one terrifying word occupied all their thoughts.
Dragon Knight battleship.
But how is this possible——
"Enemy attack——"
On the observation post above the mast, someone was already shouting at the top of his lungs.
It was only a moment late. In the eyes of the sailors, a bright firelight had already occupied their entire field of vision.
That was actually the last day at the end of June for Ayinbrok.
On that day, above the airport area of the giant steel tower, the beam of light reflected across the sky in everyone's eyes later became many people's most profound memory of the rainy season that year. It was later recorded in Aita
