51. Puppet

In the shop, warm yellow lights shine quietly, wrapping the three porcelain cups on the tea table in a flowing sheen.

"I just fell to the ground, and as soon as I looked up, I saw this hut, so I wanted to knock on the door to take a look," Susie said, taking a long sip of tea, "I didn't expect to see you, but you seem to have become different." She pointed to Alcas.

Alcas ignored her and turned to look at Jingxiang, "Who is Qin Yuan?" "Why does it sound similar to herself, and besides, she turned herself here as a clerk, can't it be because they look alike? Alcas frowned, and a very unpleasant feeling rose in his heart.

Jingxiang lowered her eyelashes slightly, covering the glint in her eyes, "My friend from many years ago, this shop pΓΉ, is actually his. I'll tell you more about it when I have a chance later. ”

"Huh? Is this the shop where I just stayed? Susie asked.

"That's right," Kagami nodded, pointing at Alcas, "This guy and Qin Yuan are not the same person, they just look similar." ”

"That's right," Susie scratched her temples, feeling that her recent experience was amazing, "That, you said before, you won't help people in vain, so what's the requirement?" ”

This girl is quite realistic, she didn't mention it, she was about to forget about it, Jingxiang took a sip of the porcelain cup, and said slowly: "I've been doing a business to buy memories recently, so you just need to promise me that when you die, you can give me a memory." ”

Susie would have thought it was ridiculous, but now she was convinced, especially from the mouth of the person in front of her, "Okay, I agree." ”

Jingxiang smiled, stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly on the Mizuki Key, and a purple halo floated like ripples, "I have now helped you repair the Mizuki Key, but the path of the space-time tunnel it opened has changed, that is to say, it has restored the function of traversing, but it is not necessarily the Warring States Period, and it is unknown from the next time the space-time gate will be opened." ”

Su Simo held the water and wood key, there was a moment of contemplation in his eyes, Chong Jingxiang nodded, and said, "I know, thank you!" I'll keep it safe! ”

Seeing off Susie, Jingxiang glanced at the clock on the wall, twelve o'clock, it was the time when the shop closed, so she shook her hand and drew a termination charm on the door, and through the transparent doors and windows, you could see that the black mandolas that bloomed all the way turned into a little halo, scattered like ink paintings, and disappeared.

Kagami turned around and was about to go upstairs, but saw Alcas leaning against the counter, his long silver hair covering half of his cheeks, and his crimson eyes hidden under the dense eyelashes.

"Who is Qin Yuan?" He asked with a stern look on his face.

"Don't dwell on this," Kagami said, brushing aside a strand of hair hanging down from her forehead, "I said it, and I'll talk about it in detail when I have time." When Fang Meng comes tomorrow, after we find the book of years, I will be happy to answer any questions. ”

Alcas turned sideways, Jingxiang walked straight in front of him, and he suddenly said softly, "Do you think that I stayed here really just for the sake of the years book?" ”

"What?" Kagami paused and looked back at him.

"Heh, it's nothing," Alcas smiled bitterly, "and when I find the Book of Years and lift the curse of blood, I can go back to the castle in Hungary, and I'm looking forward to it!" ”

Kagami's gaze stayed on his face for a second, and then quickly moved away, "Really?" I'm also looking forward to the day when I find the book of years. ”

The time of the day flies, and at eight o'clock the next day, Fang Meng arrived as promised.

"What do you need me to do?" The first thing he said when he came in was to the point.

Seeing that he was so crisp, Jing Xiang didn't want to go around in circles, she walked out of the counter, took the elf lamp and a delicate glass bottle in her hand, and put them on the Tang Dynasty tea table.

"As a descendant of ancient wizards, the Book of Years has always been in your custody, right?"

When Fang Meng heard her ask, the expression in his eyes remained unchanged, but the corners of his lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, "Since you all know, why ask, our family's mission is to protect the Book of Years, but in the end, we don't even know the trace of the Book of Years, it's ironic, isn't it?" ”

"It's kind of ironic, indeed." Kagami turned her face sideways and said unceremoniously, she snapped her fingers, and with the click of the wooden drawer, an old brown book fell onto the tea table.

"What is this?" Fang Meng's face changed.

"Isn't this your book of years?" Alcas leaned over and said, "This is the next volume, you have to cooperate with us to find the first volume together." ”

Fang Meng's finger touched the cover of the Book of Years and looked at Jing Xiang, "You sue me first, what are you doing looking for the Book of Years?" ”

Jing Xiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise not to destroy it." If you are willing to cooperate, this one will be given to you first, and when I find the first volume, I will solve some things with Alcas, and I will return it to your family. It's a win-win thing, and I believe you know how to choose. ”

Fang Meng lowered his eyes and pondered, the air was silent for a few seconds, he put away his hesitation, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Okay, but I have a request, after finding the Book of Years, it must be kept by me, and what you want to do with it must be approved by me." ”

"Hey, why?" Alcas tapped on the table and said dissatisfied.

"Don't do that, Alcas," Kagami stopped him, and said to him, "I agree to your request, and if my approach is reasonable, I'm sure you'll agree." ”

Alcas looked at Kamika suspiciously, but saw that her eyes were smiling, and the curvature of her lips was beautiful and conceited, revealing a little cunning. By the way, how could her nature as a profiteer change? Stabilize the other party first, and there will be more variables in the future.

Alcas pursed the corners of his lips and thought to himself that he really had to learn hard.

"Then let's start now," Jingxiang raised her amber eyes, which were precipitated with a warm yellow light, just like the long years, "The Book of Years is in the Elven Kingdom, but it is not the same space as us, Fang Meng, I need your blood to index and pull us into the space where the Book of Years is hidden." ”

Fang Meng was stunned, he had heard the elder generation say that after the Book of Years was lost, it was transferred to another dimension, and they also tried to find it, but no one had this power that spanned multiple spaces, and she, could it?

Seeing that he was stunned, Jingxiang didn't say anything, and directly took his hand, cut a hole in it, and dripped blood into the elf lamp.

Fang Meng felt a pain in his hand, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the entire space around him was wrapped in a powerful purple light, for a few seconds, his consciousness was blank, and he could only see white light mixed with dark purple mist jumping everywhere in front of him, bringing the air flow violently in an instant, a ball of golden light was getting closer and closer, and when he arrived in front of him, he reacted, here, it was another space.

"What kind of place is this, don't you say it's an elven country?" Alcas kicked the old wooden box under his feet and raised his hand to block the dust from his face.

"This is the first dimension, the elven kingdom is in a deeper dimension, let's take a rest here, his state is not very good." Jing Xiang glanced at Fang Meng and said thoughtfully.

Fang Meng's face was a little pale, and the dust made him cough violently, but he forced himself to say, "No need, let's continue." ”

"Don't be reckless," Jingxiang walked up to him and sat down in a slightly cleaner place, "Using your blood as an index would have hurt you a lot, and if you hang up halfway, the three of us won't want to go back." ”

Fang Meng didn't know if what she said was true or not, but at this moment, he did have a feeling of weakness that he had never felt before, "Why can't you enter the Elf Kingdom directly?" ”

"Because your blood is not pure, over the past 10,000 years, your blood has been mixed with a lot of human blood, so I can only choose to break through one dimension at a time." Kagami explained.

"I see." Fang Meng nodded, he raised his eyes to look at this space, it seemed to be an abandoned warehouse, there was not much space, there were wooden boxes scattered around, and pungent dust was sprinkled everywhere.

"This place doesn't taste good." Alcas lowered the brim of his hat and was about to sit on a half-meter-high box, when there was a sudden noise next to him, and he looked extremely keenly and lifted a puppet from the shadows.

"Oops, you let me go!" The puppet struggled in his hand.

"Little monster, why are you eavesdropping on us?" Alcas narrowed his eyes.

"I've been staying here, okay, you guys suddenly appeared and scared me!" The puppet was not convinced.

Jingxiang looked at them with great interest, it was a half-human tall puppet, with a big red nose and a big mouth, a lot of brown freckles on his face, and a green curly wig on his head, which looked so funny!

"Alcas, put this little monster down, it's our presence that disturbs it." Kagami walked over and reached out to pluck the puppet's hair.

"I'm not a little monster," the puppet jumped onto the box, snatching back his hair and putting it on, "I'm human, I was turned like this by monsters." ”

"Oh? Are you still a puppet with a story? Jingxiang raised her eyebrows, she was bored now, and the appearance of this puppet was just right to pass the time.

"Well," the puppet sighed, rubbing his red nose, and sat down on the large wooden box, his legs creaking back and forth, "that's a long story. I'm so sleepy right now, so I'll talk to you when I get some sleep. ”

Jingxiang gestured to Alcas, he immediately understood, reached out and grabbed the puppet's ear unceremoniously, and twisted the flame with his other hand, "You bake the fire first, I'm afraid you will sleep more soundly." ”

"Alas, don't!" The puppet leaned back in fright, "I'm really sleepy!" ”

"Then do you want to talk about it?"

"I said, I said it can't be done?" The puppet yawned, "I still want to talk to you in my heart, but I just think it's too troublesome to talk about it, and I don't bother to talk about it." ”
