"You're back. Tang Yin said softly, her eyes always focused on the plum blossoms in front of her, "Is something wrong with the delay for so long?"

"Well, a little bit of trouble. Ouyang Gu replied while sweeping the floor, "William of the Black-clothed Mage Regiment died there, and the Association may have to make a big move next." ”

"Tell me about it. Tang Yin's face did not change, and continued to prune the branches carefully.

"The Black Rose appeared, and we met a man at the altar who called himself the Knights of the Rose. Ouyang Gu whispered, "Liu Ye and I almost died at his hands. ”

"Knights of the Rose?" Tang Yin frowned, "I once saw this name on a dossier, and it is indeed the dark organization of the Black Rose. The number of members of each generation has always been only fifteen, and the last five have appeared many times and changed frequently, but the first ten have been shrouded in fog and their identities are still unknown. ”

"The one who attacked me and Liu Ye was the fifteenth, and he called himself Mo Ran. ”

"Mo Ran......" Tang Yin thought for a moment and shook his head, "The fifteenth person who had records in the previous generation should not be this name. ”

"It's okay, don't remember, they're going to change people again anyway. "Ouyang Gu swept all the fallen leaves together," along with Mo Ran there was also a girl with a bow, and her mission was to kill Smith and destroy the Julius family, but she was only half done. ”

"The Julius family is all wiped out?" Tang Yin stopped what he was doing and turned to face Ouyang Gu, "This is a big deal. ”

"Let the directors have a headache, it has little to do with us for the time being. ”

Tang Yin frowned, she glanced at the door, as if she didn't quite agree with what Ouyang Gu said.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, anything else?"

"The man of the mirror has reappeared. On the way back to the UK, a guy wearing a smiley mask sneaked up on us, but there was no danger, and Watson directly took action to level him. ”

"He's dead?"

"No, I fled. Ouyang Gu glanced at Liu Ye and Mu Shilan, who were chatting happily at the iron gate, and shouted at them, "Hey-there is a lantern festival in Jiangyue Park today, let's go quickly." ”

Seeing Shi Lan pull Liu Ye and run away, Ouyang Gu turned his head away, his eyes met Tang Yin's gaze, and he smiled slightly.

"Big sister, let's talk about it now, is there any secret in the Julius family that I don't know. ”

"The matter of the Phantom Array was not found by the Association itself. Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Fifteen years ago, it was the Julius family who reported this matter as top-secret information. ”

Liu Ye was pulled by Mu Shilan, stepped on the path paved with stones, and ran all the way out of the enchantment to the road.

Just after the Spring Festival, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but Liu Ye was extremely emotional when he saw it, he couldn't remember what the city was like. A week in Europe felt like a century had passed.

He took a deep breath, the cold, damp air poured into his lungs, choking him and coughing a few times, still a familiar feeling, the unique taste of southern winter.

I haven't spent the winter in China for several years, and I actually miss it a little.

If it weren't for seeing Mu Shilan's mouth already touching a cup of five-layer super strawberry ice cream, and the clerk's eyes that made it clear that this was not a free gift, Liu Ye might still be sentimental for a long time.

Heartbroken walked to the counter, letting the scanner take pictures of his listless face, Liu Ye thought of the numbers in the bank account on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, what's that look on your face. Shilan took a bite of the ice cream and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"I'm not sorry for my balance, but I feel sorry for your stomach, and eating ice cream on such a cold day is really hard enough to be your organ. Liu Ye was glad for his sudden intelligence, "Take it easy, don't eat it for a while and cry and go back." ”

"Ice cream is meant to be eaten in winter. Shilan took another bite, and this time she ate half an iced strawberry, "It's as reasonable as eating hot pot in the summer." ”

"What kind of crooked reasoning are you doing...... Liu Ye turned his back to the sky, so that Shi Lan couldn't see the uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What a crooked reason, this is true! Magicians are not invaded by cold and heat, so they must eat the right food in the right season. Unlike you, you can only endure the pain of eating ice cream in the summer. Shi Lan walked up to him and looked up at the sky, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the birds, a peacock just flew past. Liu Ye said casually.

"Peacock, where?" Shi Lan looked left and right with wide eyes, "Why didn't I see it?"

Seeing the girl's innocent performance, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for his random jokes, if he could, he would definitely find a better reason.

"The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles. So you have to go five miles to see it again. As soon as the words came out, Liu Ye regretted that he shouldn't weave a bigger lie in order to round a lie.

"Wuli?" Shi Lan bit her lip and made up her mind, "Okay!"

Liu Ye rubbed his temples tiredly, this girl is really unusually easy to deceive, to some extent, this may be a good thing for herself?

"Did you go to London this time and meet Chairman Watson?"

"See. ”

"Isn't he scary-looking, I've heard that he will tear people apart if he doesn't agree with him!"

"It's scary, but it's very handsome, and as for tearing people apart if you don't agree with each other...... I don't think so. ”

"Which original text did you choose? I wonder if it was Celia's "God's Dice" or Ge Yunbo's "Theory of Falling Leaves"? Well? Isn't it? Then I don't know...... I only know these two original texts from the British Magical Society's library......"

"It's Kahn Modi's Song of Snow. ”

"Ah, I know that, Karn Modi is a beautiful blue-haired girl, I've seen her portrait in the books!"

"Well, I saw a statue of her at the British Magical Society. ”

"But alas, she died at the age of twenty-seven......"

"Hmm. ”

The two chatted all the way, Shi Lan's mouth was like a bird and never stopped, and Liu Ye responded without a word, although he didn't show it, but in fact, he enjoyed the process very much, but he couldn't face his heart calmly.

Before they knew it, they came to Jiangyue Park, the place where the lantern festival was held, and strings of red lanterns were hung on the camphor tree at the entrance of the park.

It's getting late, and the lights are on. The two of them stood by the Xiyue River, watching all kinds of colorful lights on both sides of the river light up one by one, reflecting a colorful point of light on the water surface, and then being swept away by the wooden oars of a boat that suddenly passed, crumpled into a bright ball. The lantern festival is about to start, and there are gradually more tourists, and the noisy voices make Liu Ye unconsciously reach out and block his ears, a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go take a boat!" In Shi Lan's excited voice, Liu Ye walked to the end of the long line at the cruise boat rental office. When the sun had gone and the moon was coming, the two got on the boat. So in the sound of bubbling oars, on the swaying rose-colored Xiyue River, they began to appreciate the taste of the lantern festival.

They sat in a small boat, commonly known as "seven boards", the cabin was empty, lined with light blue railings, and the top of the cabin was hung with lights, all of which were hung with tassels of different lengths, and the night had fallen, and all kinds of pleasure boats were lit with lights, and a hazy haze came out of the mist.

Shi Lan stood at the bow of the boat, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her eyes shining at the lanterns on both sides of the river, Liu Ye sat in the cabin, looking at her.

The clear water is overcast, the Chinese lanterns reflect the water, and this scene is beautiful.

Listening to the leisurely intermittent sound of oars, Liu Ye smiled and closed his eyes.
