Chapter 47: The Song of Snow
His heart and lungs stopped, Liu Ye didn't dare to move, and the scene in the dream flashed quickly in his mind.
The man took a small step forward, but directly crossed a distance of more than a kilometer and came to Liu Ye's side. ”
"'You're finally here. He whispered softly in Liu Ye's ear, his voice was very magnetic, but he couldn't hear men and women, like a synthesized electronic sound, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, K." ’”
"We have a lot of topics to talk about, but there's no rush, there's still a lot of time. Watson turned around with a smile, his wand tapped on the ground, and walked to Smith's side step by step, "Mr. Ouyang, please return the Flower of Heaven to us." ”
Ouyang Gu took out a long, narrow dark blue box and placed it in Smith's hand.
Smith bowed his head respectfully and slowly opened the box.
Watson glanced into the box, smiled faintly, and said, "It is indeed the flower of heaven, worthy of the dawn of the century." Smith, take them to the library. I'm curious to see which one you'll choose. ”
Smith clenched his fists and gave Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu a look, and the two of them also saluted in unison, and the three of them slowly withdrew from the hall together.
When the door slowly closed in front of Liu Ye, the tension like falling into an ice cellar gradually disappeared, he gasped, looked at the side, and suddenly found that Ouyang Gu's forehead was also full of cold sweat.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"That's Watson, who can not be nervous. Ouyang Gu smiled reluctantly, "After you know his growth trajectory, I'm afraid you will have to think twice about even stepping into this door." ”
Liu Ye took a deep breath and looked at the door in front of him with palpitations, if he could, he really didn't want to see that weird boy again.
Ouyang Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was nervous because he knew very well that the Flower of Heaven was not genuine, if Watson was furious, he would definitely die tragically on the spot, and he would not even have a chance to escape. According to Song Liuyun, that fake can't deceive Watson's eyes, but he doesn't seem to notice it? No, he frowned, at that time, Song Liuyun also said that if he came to see Watson with the real Paradise Flower, he wouldn't be able to get out of here alive, so what did it mean?
"What are you two doing in a daze? Hurry up, the library is quite far from here. Smith turned around and shouted to them, "Don't run around, there are a lot of traps here, and if you accidentally walk into the restricted area, you will die." ”
The two of them followed Smith quickly, and they passed through the door in the middle of the right side of the corridor, past a conference room with long tables lit with candles, and came to a corridor with various arrays on the walls and floor, and on the left side of the corridor were rows of windows, but they were all equipped with iron fences, and only a small amount of light could penetrate them.
Standing at the entrance of the hallway, Smith took out a pitch-black token and pasted it to the center of a disc-shaped magic circle on the wall on his right. With a flash of red light, the token turned into liquid, quickly filling every line of the magic array.
The scene before the three of them changed abruptly, and the original corridor full of arrays was gone, replaced by a downward sloping staircase, flanked by gems that glowed blue.
Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu couldn't help but jump their eyelids, the road full of magic circles was actually just a trap, and the library was not behind that road at all. If someone wants to steal the original text, and they work hard to get through so many prohibitions and end up on a dead end, I don't know what they will think.
"Let's go. Smith said in a deep voice.
This staircase was unexpectedly long, Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu followed closely behind Smith, they had been walking for five minutes, but the stairs were still extending forward, and it seemed that there was no end to it.
"Stop, here, use space magic, jump upwards for a distance of twenty-six meters. Smith stopped suddenly, and there was a crescent-shaped mark on his right hand side of the wall.
All three summoned their wands at the same time, and an aqua blue light curtain enveloped them one by one.
The light curtain receded, and Liu Ye and the others came to a dark corridor, the temperature here was very low, and Rao felt the cold to the bone with his current physique as a magician. On each side is a row of tall bluestone lampposts with sky-blue flames burning on the lampposts. At the end of the corridor was a bronze door twenty meters high, and there was a black-robed man in the same costume as Smith standing on the left and right in front of the door.
"William, Karl. Smith called them.
The two of them nodded imperceptibly, and at the same time pressed their palms against the wall behind them, and a red and a blue light lit up, converging all the way to the center along the complex lines on the bronze door, turning into a thin golden line. A few seconds later, with a "clatter", the bronze door slowly opened, revealing a magnificent library before them.
The hall is very spacious, it is a square with a side length of nearly 100 meters, there are bookshelves on all four walls of the library, extending from the bottom to the ceiling, each floor is full of books, there is a wooden gallery outside the bookshelves, and there is a giant crystal chandelier in the middle of the ceiling of the hall, and there are several white balls of light on the outside of the chandelier rotating around the central blue main lamp along the track, a bit like Rutherford's atomic model, or like the solar system. In the hall was a circle of nine columns more than one meter high, made of translucent cyan crystals, and the top was lit with clusters of blue flames, each of which contained a book floating in it.
"This is the original text. ”
Liu Ye didn't feel much when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Gu and found that his eyes were shining with a blazing light, which was a look of extreme longing.
"Okay, Ouyang Gu, you can guide the magic power to be released. ”
"Guiding the magic power to be released?" Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, wasn't that the magic traction ritual he had performed when he chose his wand?
"The choice of the original canon is also a two-way process, and it is more stringent than the selection of magic weapons, because the original canon is the most powerful magic weapon. Ouyang Gu smiled and answered for him, "The original texts have a strong sense of self, and will only choose those they think have the ability to help them spread their knowledge. If you don't get recognition, you can't get its power. Unless, your strength exceeds the sum of the mana in the book, then you can force your way through it. But the power of the original tome comes not only from the great magicians who wrote it, but also from all the people who have been responsible for maintaining it and infusing it with magic for countless years, and it is only more than when it was written. If someone like that can force them to read, who needs the original texts?"
"Two-way choice......" Liu Ye frowned, he originally had the intention of letting Ouyang Gu choose the original text of "Soul Array", but now it seems that even if there is really one here, he may not be able to get it. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you get it, the original canon will not necessarily recognize you.
Ouyang Gu nodded, sat down cross-legged in the middle of the nine pillars, and began to channel his magic.
A dark red light flew out of his head, curling towards the blue flames. The beam of light traveled back and forth between the columns, passing through one original tome after another, but there was no response.
After several attempts, there was still no sign of the original text breaking away from the flames.
Ouyang Gu's eyelids drooped, a little lonely, but he didn't show a very disappointed look, as if all this was still within his expectations, he raised his head and grinned: "That's really the case." ”
Smith sniffed, but didn't respond.
"Ah Ye, you can try it. Ouyang Gu beckoned to him.
"Didn't you find the Flower of Paradise?" Liu Ye was originally looking at the paintings on the wooden gallery next to him, and was taken aback when he heard his words.
"It's okay, it was submitted as the result of the team of Century Dawn, and in theory, everyone has the opportunity to try. ”
"Okay. Liu Ye nodded and walked to the middle of the nine pillars, Ouyang Gu stood up to make way for him, but before he could move, an accident happened.
The nine original texts rose from the flames at the same time, scrambling to rush into Liu Ye's arms,
Liu Ye stopped thinking. He is now like a bullied middle school student, with a lot of books thrown on his body, one on his head, one on his shoulder, and the others in his arms.
Ouyang Gu and Smith were dumbfounded, not to mention this scene, they had never heard of it.
"This ...... How should this be calculated?" After a while, Liu Ye blinked, breaking the silence of the three of them, he reached out and wanted to scratch his head, but as soon as he moved, the original book on his shoulder almost fell to the ground, which frightened him into a hurry, and finally all the books were thrown into the air by him, and the strange thing is that the nine original books flew back by themselves, stacked one by one, and fell neatly in Liu Ye's hand.
"It's unheard of and unbelievable. Smith took a few deep breaths, "Are you the son of a god? There has never been a person so favored by the original scriptures, no, not even the children of the gods recorded in the Bible." ”
"It's you, really, it's you. Ouyang Gu patted him on the shoulder and nodded again and again as he spoke.
"Then, this, which one to take?" Liu Ye sent the book in his hand to Ouyang Gu, and then looked at Smith, "Does this mean, can we choose at will?"
"Well, ahem...... Smith coughed twice, turning his back away from them, "only one original book answers your call, and that's what I saw." ”
Ouyang Gu and Liu Ye looked at each other and smiled.
"Ah Ye, look, is there anything you want?"
Liu Ye squinted at the spine of the nine original texts, but he didn't find the "Soul Array", so he shook his head and said, "No, you can pick it." ”
Ouyang Gu touched his cheeks, glanced at him apologetically, and then took out a copy from the middle and raised it in his hand: "That's it, Kahn Modi's "Snow Song". ”
"Well, okay, listen to you. Liu Ye nodded, then turned to Smith and asked, "That, the rest of these ......"
"Just put it back, I didn't see anything. Smith closed his eyes slightly, for some reason he didn't know, he chose to turn a blind eye, he didn't know what would happen if he told Watson about it, he didn't know why Tang Yin's figure suddenly jumped out of his mind, but he vaguely felt that he had done the right thing.
