Chapter Sixty-Eight: Escape
In the grotto, Liu Ye held Ouyang Gu and gently patted his cheek.
"Wake up, wake up, Ouyang Valley, Ouyang Valley!"
The call was fruitless, and Liu Ye cast a spell to make a water balloon and threw it in his face.
Ouyang Gu finally woke up leisurely.
"Liu Ye?" Ouyang Gu held his head and sat up straight, "I'm ...... Where are my eyes?"
Ouyang Gu's eyes widened, but he couldn't see anything, he felt that he could see things through a thick layer of fog, and he could only see a very blurry light.
"You don't remember anything?" Liu Ye frowned, "I don't know what kind of place this is." It's supposed to be a ruin, the two of us came together, don't you remember?"
"I remember that. Ouyang Gu shook his head slightly, "But my memory was interrupted when I reached out and touched that stone door. ”
Everything he experienced in the mirror world was completely forgotten in the blink of an eye, and there was not even a single hair left.
"How could this be? You just ......" Liu Ye opened his mouth to recount to him what he saw, but when he opened his mouth, he was surprised to find that his memory also faded like a tide. The words had already reached his lips, but he suddenly didn't remember them.
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, what was going on? He remembered that when he was in school a few years ago, he seemed to have heard such a theory, but he couldn't remember the content of the theory.
"What happened to me just now?" Ouyang Gu groped and stood up with Liu Ye's shoulder, "How are you doing now, aren't you injured?" ”
"I didn't ...... How. Liu Ye rubbed his eyebrows, then looked down at the bandages on his upper body, and smiled bitterly, "Haha, don't worry, I'm fine." I've checked, your eyes are supposed to be temporarily blind from the overuse of magic, as for if it will affect later...... I hope not. ”
"That's good. Eh, wait, when did you still understand medical skills?Shouldn't my injuries be healed after soaking in that pool?How can it be......" Ouyang Gu's heart was relieved when he heard that Liu Ye was fine, but when he thought that he might be blind permanently, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
Ouyang Gu actually knew that his blindness was not just caused by the simple overuse of magic, but the sequelae of time magic, and no one knew what kind of impact it would have.
"My medical skills...... That's a long story. Liu Ye put one of Ouyang Gu's hands on his shoulder and supported his body, "Let's go out first." ”
"Heh, have you found an exit?" Ouyang Gu grinned, "You kid, it's really a surprise to people." ”
"Export? Liu Ye pursed his lips noncommittally.
With his otherworldly talent, he has mastered a quarter of the content of "A Thousand Illusions of Glass".
The technique that rescued Ouyang Gu, "Fishing for the Moon in the Well", was a magic specially marked in the original text, as if the author knew that he would use it.
As for how to get out of this enclosed ruin, you also need to use the magic of the original text.
With a slight wave of the deadwood staff, several thin lines of magic power flew out of the original text, and a lilac magic array gradually intertwined in front of him.
With the support of the massive amount of magic sealed in the original text, even with his current body, it was enough to use quite a lot of high-level magic.
With a light step under his feet, Liu Ye helped Ouyang Gu pass through the magic array, and then flew up slowly.
Their bodies became translucent, like a faint cloud of smoke, penetrating the rock wall above the grotto without hindrance.
"Void. "The magic that can blur the body to pass through any obstacle is quite complicated, but this is not a problem for Liu Ye.
After passing through dozens of meters of rock formations, Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu finally stepped on the solid ground again, looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he suddenly had the urge to cry.
"We've come out alive......" he whispered to himself.
Staring at the grass under his feet, Liu Ye's eyes were complicated. Things in the ruins are like a dream, there are too many unexplained places, I don't know if there will be a chance to revisit the old place in the future and try to solve those mysteries.
"Let's go, back to the House of Julius. Ouyang Gu exhaled, his face solemn, "The guy with the Black Rose who fought with us once said that one of his missions was to destroy the Julius family, I don't know what the situation is now. ”
Liu Ye squinted, he hadn't forgotten this sentence.
But considering the state of the two of them, Liu Ye didn't really want to wade into this troubled water.
Mingzhe protects himself, the Julius family gives him a very bad impression, and Liu Ye is more concerned about Smith's whereabouts than this incident.
"Why don't you go to Smith?"
"If he manages to escape from the Black Rose, then he will definitely return there. Ouyang Gu said, "Passing through the Yurius family's clairvoyant mirror is the fastest way to return to the British Magic Association, and it takes a day and a half to take the space loop by land, it is impossible for Smith to give up this shortcut, and if he can't escape, he may not be ...... for such a long time."
He didn't say any more, but Liu Ye understood what he meant.
"Okay, I see. Liu Ye picked up Ouyang Gu on his back, and the aqua blue magic array appeared at the bottom of his feet.
He clutched his stomach, a tearing pain, and the wound seemed to open again.
"What's wrong, are you okay?" Ouyang Gu looked at him with concern, although he couldn't see anything clearly.
"It's fine. Liu Ye smiled and took Ouyang Gu to start jumping in space, "Ouyang Gu, Black Rose, what kind of organization is it? When I was in Boyun City before, I seem to have heard you mention it?"
"Black Rose ......," Ouyang Gu sighed, "Founded in the middle of the fourteenth century, it is an independent branch of the Rose Cross Society, and its founder is called Karmuno, who is also an amazingly talented magician. ”
"Karmuno?" Liu Ye clenched his teeth, and the pain from the wound in his abdomen became more intense.
"Well, Karmuno, a genius who wrote the original canon at the age of twenty-seven, is known as the great magician of the Son of God, and a core member of the Rosicrucian Society. ”
"Twenty-seven years old...... Liu Ye felt that the authors of the original classics he met were all unusually young.
"In the path of magic, talent is everything. Ouyang Gu said softly, his tone low, "When the original book was written, almost all the authors were in their twenties and thirties, and even in their teens, they reached a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach in a very short time, and it was difficult for mediocre talents to match in their lives. ”
"The path of a magician is much more difficult than that of ordinary people. Liu Ye glanced at him, and heard Sister Tang Yin mention that Ouyang Gu's talent was not high, and it could even be said to be very mediocre.
Ouyang Gu seemed to sense his gaze, grinned, and said, "He is the creator of the Whispering Magic Book, and he is also an ambitious magician with an almost perverted thirst for power. He misinterpreted the teachings of the Rosicrucian and founded the Black Rose, gathering a legion of magicians who were dissatisfied with the scientific world. Attempt to subvert the world and achieve their dictatorship. ”
"Dissatisfied with the scientific world? They also attacked ordinary people?"
"If you call a massacre an attack, that's true. Ouyang Gu closed his eyes, "When you mention the fourteenth century, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?"
"Renaissance? No, no. Liu Ye shook his head, "Could it be the Black Death?"
"That's right. Ouyang Gu smiled bitterly, "The disaster that took the lives of hundreds of millions of people is the 'masterpiece' that they are most proud of. ”
"Plague ......" Liu Ye narrowed his eyes, "They were later exterminated by the Magic Association?"
"Well, half a century later. However, at that time, the Magic Association was only a nominal organization, and it was the magic family that actually shot it at that time. Their purpose is not noble, not to save the world, but because the Black Rose has developed too quickly and affected their interests. ”
"Hehe, that's not unusual. Not. Liu Ye snorted and stopped on a piece of the Gobi Desert, trying his best to control his breathing, not wanting Ouyang Gu to find out about his injuries.
"Don't hold back. Ouyang Gu glanced at him worriedly, "Although I am blind, I can still feel that when the space is twisted, your magic power lines are all messed up, if it weren't for your talent, we would have been crushed to pieces a long time ago." ”
"It's not a big problem, it's not far away. Liu Ye silently calculated the distance, "There are less than ten kilometers left, and two twists and turns are enough." ”
At this moment, a shadow suddenly passed through the air!
"You guys?" The black shadow stopped, it was actually Smith, he didn't seem to be injured, but his left hand was abnormally shrunk in the black robe, he looked at the state of Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu, his face became a little ugly, "Why are you here, and you are so seriously injured? Could it be that something happened to the Julius family?"
"It's a long story. Liu Ye smiled reluctantly, "Someone told us that you were looking for us and took us to the altar, but it turned out that he was the man of the Black Rose, a guy who claimed to be a member of the Knights of the Rose. I got into a fight with him, and it ended up like this. ”
"You are also one of the targets?" Smith looked at them deeply, "the stakes are high, William has been killed by their attack, and we must report it to the top of the guild as soon as possible." ”
"It's not just us, it's the Julius family. Liu Ye said and pointed behind him, "They still have a mission, extermination." ”
