The flame at the top of the pillar was not like an ordinary flame, and there was no orange-red fire to be seen, nor could there be any fluttering flames.

However, it was a clear light, as if ten suns were radiating light, and the circular square illuminated by it was delicate.

Liu Xi scanned with his divine sense, but found that his divine sense swept through and did not touch anything at all.

In other words, whether it is the ten desolate and simple stone pillars, or the bright flames on the stone pillars, there is actually no substance.

Her consciousness continued to spread outwards until the end of her consciousness had escaped, more than a thousand meters away.

Then Liu Xi found that the entire ancient circular square was a phantom, not a substance.

A low, slightly hoarse female voice came from the side: "This is the ability of the two elders of Carl Bellman and Egger Bellman, called the mirror world, which is to project a building in the real world into the mirror world." So what you're seeing now is the building is - the ruins of a Greek temple, of course, it's just a projection, it's not really a Greek temple ruins. ”

Liu Xi curiously turned her head to look at the woman who was talking, and saw that this woman was about twenty-one or twelve years old, with a soft duck egg face, a pair of small eyes but very docile, coupled with a small nose and cherry-like red lips, giving people an unusually charming and supple feeling.

Like an ancient lady, I feel pity.

The woman carried two katana swords on her back, one blue and one black, with separate handles, giving people a sassy and heroic feeling.

Liu Xi raised her eyebrows, feeling a little familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen this woman.

The woman understood Liu Xi's somewhat dazed eyes, and said with a slight smile: "My name is Yukiko Kawashima, and I haven't thanked Miss Liu for saving her life in the South China Sea last time." ”

Yukiko Kawashima?Nankai?

A scene quickly flashed in Liu Xi's mind, it was a woman with her eyes closed tightly and her face was pale, and her chest was covered with blood, and she was hugged by Feng Jincai and Suzaku onto the battleship.

At that time, Lin Changshou wanted to operate on her on the spot and use his ability to maintain her life, or Liu Xi used the painting to make a simple version of Lin Changshou's sterile operating room.

Liu Xi remembered that the woman with her eyes closed and her pale face was the woman in front of her with low eyebrows, and now she was more than a hundred times better looking than before, no wonder Liu Xi couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's you. The person who saved you was Dr. Lin, and I didn't do anything. ”

Liu Xi said with a smile.

Yukiko Kawashima shook her head lightly and said seriously: "I heard that the person in charge of that warship is you, and the voyage is also formulated by you. So I was able to survive by luck, and it was also thanks to your blessings. You and Dr. Lin are my lifesavers. ”

"Uh...... It's good if you're happy. ”

Liu Xi was a little surprised, what does this Japanese girl mean? I insist on owing myself a life-saving grace, is this Japanese girl a person who will die if she doesn't repay the favor?

I have heard that the islanders are a very modest and polite people, and it seems that there is some truth in this.

Of course, their modesty and politeness are for the strong, and they often show another ugly and cruel face to the weak.

Liu Xi remembered what Yukiko Kawashima said first, and asked, "You said that this mirror world is a joint effort of the two patriarchs, Karl Bellman and Egger Bellman, but it is only a projection of the architectural image of an ancient Greek temple, is it not true?"

"Yes, Karl Bellman and Eggbelman are twin twins, and when they are separated, they are no different from ordinary people, but when they touch each other, they will become powerful spatial powerhouses. ”

Yukiko Kawashima said, "Spatial abilities are very rare, and there are only three spatial abilities of this level in history like the mirror world of the two patriarchs. ”

Liu Xi nodded secretly, the space of this mirror world is more than five kilometers in radius, and it is indeed very wide. The buildings inside are only projections, but they are as clear as the real thing. What's even more rare is that everyone is in the circular square and does not feel like stepping on the air, which shows that this space almost has the ability to turn the virtual into reality, which is very rare.

When Yukiko Kawashima was about to say something, suddenly a huge oval stone table appeared out of thin air in the circular square, and the stone was as simple as the floor and stone pillars of the circular square, as if it had gone through thousands of years of history.

A moment later, stone chairs appeared next to the stone table.

A slightly old but incomparably gentle voice rang out: "Please be seated." ”

After the words fell, I saw that on the nine stone chairs at the end of the oval round table, nine figures like water ripples appeared out of thin air.

Although the figure is a little blurry, the face and body shape can be roughly recognized. Among them were eight men in suits and leather shoes, and an old lady in a hat.

The brim of the hat on the old lady's head hung down with delicate gauze, covering the old lady's face.

The eight men are actually not young, and the reason why they are men, not old men, is because the old lady is too old.

In front of her, the eldest of the eight old men, an old man who is already seventy years old this year, did not dare to say that he was old.

Although the old lady wore a hat that covered her face, everyone present knew her identity, Lady Elizabeth, the only woman among the ten elders of the Senate.

Speaking of this Lady Elizabeth, she is one hundred and three years old this year, and to say that she has a long life is a curse to her short life. She is very low-key in the Freedom Alliance of the Aliens, and even as one of the top ten elders, she is rarely heard of.

The old lady had an anecdote about it, because of her age and last name, it was easy to associate her with another great woman in the world.

Yet Lady Elizabeth never denied or admitted to this anecdote, either privately or publicly, as if she had never heard of it.

Her attitude made everyone murmur in their hearts, even if they didn't doubt it, they began to think to themselves.

Liu Xi carefully glanced at Lady Elizabeth with interest, remembering that Wei Wuji had told her that Lady Elizabeth was probably really the longest-reigning queen.

The vast majority of paranormal beings have the identity of an ordinary person, which they use to hide and live among ordinary people.

This identity may be prosaic, or it may be high-powered, and it will generally not be known to a second person except for the person himself.

"You're welcome, sit down. ”

Seeing that everyone was still standing, the one in the middle of the nine elders raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down again.

Everyone stepped forward and sat down on the nearest stone chair, with Ryuki and Yukiko Kawashima next to each other.

"We don't need to be introduced, everyone knows us, right?"

It was the old man who spoke, smiling.

This old man is the old man who can only call himself a young man in front of Lady Elizabeth at the age of 70, named Ken Lamar, whose abilities are unknown in the archives of the Freedom Alliance of the Anomalous, and his level is A-class.

Lamar is an ancient European surname, and this family is also an ancient family.

The Lamar family is not as illustrious as the Lion King family, on the contrary, the family is very ordinary, and the family business is just a farm and a forest farm. The small 2,400-hectare farm grows wheat, barley and sugar beet, as well as horses, cattle, sheep, chickens and rabbits, as well as tourism.

Ken Lamar is the patriarch with the worst family background of all the senators, but he is the oldest senator of all.

He was one of the first members of the Senate and participated in many battles against the Devourer, and was instrumental in the growth of the Adeptus Freedom Alliance.

Even the eldest, Ms. Elizabeth, was only the second group of veterans to join. The first members of the Senate. All but Ken Lamar were killed.

Yes, Ken Lamar is the head of the patriarchs, and the other patriarchs have no opinion.

Ken Lamar waved his hand, and a stack of cute and tempting snacks and a cup of coffee suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and he took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and sighed contentedly.

"I asked you all to come here just to invite you to a cup of afternoon tea, you're welcome, drink. ”

Ken held the cup, saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly greeted him like a warm host.

Everyone looked at him expressionlessly, and no one touched the snacks and coffee in front of them.

"Ahem!"

The old man next to Ken lowered his head and coughed twice, and whispered two words in his ear.

Ken put down the cup, with a look of sudden realization on his face, and said apologetically to everyone: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm getting older, and I've become very forgetful, and often I forget what I just said after drinking coffee." Hey, what are the children doing in a daze, let all of you come over, just to invite you to have a cup of afternoon tea, you're welcome, drink. ”

“……”

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts were full of grooves, but they didn't know how to vomit.

"Ahem!"

The patriarch who had reminded Ken coughed again, interrupting Ken's warm greeting.

He didn't continue to remind Ken, but directly said to everyone: "I am Elder Nedahua, and there are three main reasons why our Elder will gather you to come this time. ”

Nedahua is just over 50 years old this year, and he is relatively young among the elders, and he can be called a young man. The young man obviously couldn't stand Ken Lamar's forgetfulness, and took over Ken Lamar's voice in his own way.

He glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on everyone's face for a moment, a look of disappointment flashing across their faces.

"This time we gathered a total of forty-eight of the best young members of the organization, and unfortunately only eighteen were here. The other thirty members were unfortunately eliminated. I feel sorry and happy at the same time. ”

"It's a pity that there are only eighteen excellent young people who came here, and I am happy that there are eighteen excellent young people who have come here. You have been able to pass the test of the previous tunnels, proving your talent and strength, and also proving that you are clever and alert. I'm so proud of you, you're the best. ”

Nedahua spoke, "snapping" and taking the lead in clapping.

Everyone looked at him quietly, expressionless, as if looking at a fool.

In the circular square of Nuoda, only a lonely slap sounded monotonously, which was very embarrassing.

Nedahua was not uncomfortable with this at all, and naturally stopped applauding, and continued to say solemnly: "Okay, the welcome speech has been said, now continue to talk about the three reasons just now." ”

"The first reason must have been known to all of you in advance from various sources, but I still have to solemnly announce it: the chairman is missing. ”

No one spoke or discussed, and not even their faces changed. Nedahua guessed correctly, the people who were able to come here already knew the news in advance.

"We are investigating the cause of the chairman's disappearance, and we have clues, and if nothing else, we will be able to find out the truth within a month. Until then, I hope that everyone will keep it confidential and never spread the news of the disappearance of the chairman. ”

Nedahua paused, glanced at everyone again, and continued, "The second reason is that our Senate has decided to establish an Elite Academy of Abilities, and you are the first batch of academy students. In the future, the Elite Academy will become a permanent institution, and every year, a group of outstanding young people will enter the Elite Academy to study, and the resources of the organization will focus on cultivating and improving the ability of the elite students. ”

Speaking of this, Nedahua paused and said earnestly, "The world is not friendly to us Adepts, we face all kinds of enemies, and friends and partners, only the same kind around us. The disappearance of the Chairman has made the Senate determined to establish an elite academy that will prioritize cultivating and improving the strength of outstanding young supernatural talents, so that outstanding cadets can become the sharpest knives to maintain the safety of the members of the organization and resist the enemy. ”

"You will enjoy the various resources of the organization, and the organization will help you improve your strength as much as possible. It is your duty to be the sword and shield of the Freedom of the Anomalous, to keep the members of the Order safe, and to slay the enemies who come to you. ”

"Of course, Elite Academy is not forced to join, everything is voluntary. There is only one point, and if you enjoy your rights, you must fulfill your obligations, and I hope you will consider it properly and keep it in mind. ”

Suddenly, there was a sudden "bang".

Everyone followed the sound, and saw Ken Lamar put the cup heavily on the stone table, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you say the third point?"

The sword and shield of the Free Organization protect the safety of the members of the Order, while also slaying the intruding enemies. ”

"Of course, Elite Academy is not forced to join, everything is voluntary. There is only one point, and if you enjoy your rights, you must fulfill your obligations, and I hope you will consider it properly and keep it in mind. ”

Suddenly, there was a sudden "bang".

Everyone followed the sound, and saw Ken Lamar put the cup heavily on the stone table, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you say the third point?"
