Ouyang Gu and Liu Ye put the other eight original texts back in their original positions, and after confirming that they would not fall out, they walked over to Smith, who had his back to them.

"Sure?"

"Hmm. Ouyang Gu squinted and looked down at the "Snow Song" in his hand, and replied softly.

"Go, and I'll take you to a resting place. Smith led them out of the library, and the two magicians named William and Carl activated the mechanism on the wall again, and the imposing bronze door slowly closed behind Liu Ye. He glanced back, and a paradoxical emotion inexplicably arose in his heart.

Maybe one day, I'll come back here again.

"No, it shouldn't be that way. Liu Ye shook his head, how precious the original texts are, this kind of thing is hard to find.

"Smith, what is that Heavenly Flower, and why is the chairman willing to exchange it for the original canon?" When returning to the entrance of the previous corridor, taking advantage of the gap between Smith and the token that was integrated into the wall, Liu Ye asked the doubt in his heart, "Didn't you say that the original canon is the most powerful magic weapon?"

"The most powerful does not mean that it is the most precious. Smith took the pitch-black token back and said lightly, "The Flower of Heaven does not have coveted power, on the contrary, it is more often just a symbol, a totem-like existence. ”

"Totem?"

"Yes, totem. The Flower of Heaven, a magic weapon used to summon spells, was born even before the time of the birth of the Bible, and that spell has long since been lost, so it has become a pure symbol, proving that summoning once existed, and to other magicians, to be honest, of little value. But for the chairman and some magicians who specialize in summoning, it is the most precious treasure, so it makes sense to exchange it for an original text. Smith's eyes unconsciously glanced to the left as he spoke, and although he didn't say it explicitly, he still felt that it was too extravagant.

"Summoning Technique......" Liu Ye touched the tip of his nose, "So, what is it used to summon?"

"Summoning or something?" Smith frowned, "I don't know, maybe the chairman will have information about this, but no one else in the guild should know, only a little rumor." ”

"Rumors?" Ouyang Gu raised his eyebrows, and his interest was also ignited, he raised his gaze from the book, and said with a smile, "In such a gloomy place of yours, there will also be idlers spreading rumors?"

"What you see is only at the top, there are many low-level magicians in the association, and it's not gloomy here, an organization like yours is an abnormal existence in the wizarding world. Smith glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, "Legend has it that the Flower of Heaven is the main instrument of a grand sacrifice ceremony, and the object of that ceremony is to summon angels. ”

"Angel?" This is not the first time Liu Ye has heard about the topic of "God".

"Well, angel. However, even if it is a magician, few people believe in it these days. Smith sighed, "There are not many people in the huge association who have real faith, if this happened a thousand years ago, I am afraid that the predecessors at that time would be so angry that they will tear up the classics." ”

"It's the same all over the world. Ouyang Gu chuckled, "North America, South America, East Asia and West Asia, in fact, they are all the same, magicians believe in themselves, not gods. Like ordinary people, they don't worship high gods, they don't worship omnipotent heroes, they worship only power. ”

"If you say too much, you will lose, Ouyang Gu, you have to be careful. Smith said coldly, "When you get there, you go up this corridor, and it's the guest room." ”

Liu Ye looked around, this seemed to be a reception room, they stood at the entrance, the fireplace on the right wall was burning with firewood that seemed to never decrease, two sets of sofas covered with velvet brocade were placed horizontally and diagonally by the fireplace, and a large woolen carpet was spread on the ground, and the carpet was painted with geometric patterns in red and yellow. On the left is the window, and on the other side is the silent garden, because it is winter, many trees have lost their leaves, and the grass is withered yellow. At the other end is a very narrow staircase, which can only accommodate two people, and it turns upward, and it should be the guest room.

"Thank you. He bowed lightly to Smith.

"You're welcome, that's proper etiquette. Smith turned to leave, took two steps and turned back, "Don't run around, some people here don't have a very good temper." ”

Ouyang Gu shrugged, turned around and went upstairs, and Liu Ye also followed when he saw this.

The upstairs room was not large, with two beds and a screen in between, and from the window next to the bed you could see a pool in the center of the garden, now full of ice.

On the screen is a landscape oil painting, depicting an autumn farm, and the field is a golden sea of wheat.

Liu Ye sat on the bed, tilted his head, and looked in the direction of Ouyang Gu, only to see him holding the book intently, the original book flashed with light blue light in his hand, and the index finger of his right hand turned quickly from top to bottom and from bottom to top, page by page, he seemed to be looking for something in the book.

After a while, Ouyang Gu casually threw the original book directly to Liu Ye.

"Huh?"

"I'm done, you can use it. ”

"So fast?" Liu Ye weighed the book in his hand, this thing was two hundred pages to say the least, and Ouyang Gu finished reading it in less than half an hour.

"Hmm-" Ouyang Gu sighed lightly and lay down, he seemed to be a little lost.

After a little hesitation, Liu Ye opened the book "Song of Snow".

As soon as he saw the first line of words on the title page, Liu Ye's gaze sank.

He came to a wasteland covered with snow and ice, with mountains in the distance and snow-capped woods on top of them. The sunlight reflected a dazzling white on the ice, and ten meters away in front of Liu Ye, a man in animal skin sat with his back to him, with a pile of burning wood in front of him, and he was roasting the fire.

This time, Liu Ye didn't panic, it was the first time he had said something like this, he walked up to the man and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Where is this? Who are you?"

The man looked back at him, his face was full of stubble, but he looked quite delicate, his naturally curly brown hair hung down from his cotton hat, dangling on both sides of his chin, and he still had a chicken bone in his mouth, it turned out that he was roasting a pheasant, his eyes widened, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"Isn't this your territory?" Liu Ye rubbed the left side of his face, "Don't play stupid, say something quickly." ”

"I've been walking here for eight days, and I haven't seen anyone, and you're the first living person I've ever met. The man turned his head, tore off a chicken leg and threw it to Liu Ye, "Seeing that you are wearing so little, give you a piece to eat, otherwise you will freeze to death soon." ”

Liu Ye squinted at the somewhat charred chicken in his hand, smelling the fragrant meat, although he knew that it was an illusion, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Don't eat it? Give it back to me. The man snatched the chicken leg back.

Liu Ye was a little puzzled again, this must be an illusion, yes, but this guy in front of him looked savage, he didn't look very smart, and he didn't seem to be able to tell himself anything useful, but he couldn't even see the shadow of a living thing in the distance.

More importantly, he felt that it was getting colder and colder.

Liu Ye stroked his arm, his legs and feet trembled a little, the temperature here was even lower than the underground library just now.

He looked down at the man, only to see that he was eating the roast chicken by himself, licking his lips, Liu Ye squatted beside him, and put his hand close to the fire.

"Hmph, I didn't eat it just now, but now it's gone. The man said as he smacked his mouth.

"No, if you don't eat, I'll warm up. Liu Ye smiled and said, "Where is this?"

"You don't even know where this is, how can you be in this place? This is the Great Caucasus Mountains. The man glanced at him in surprise, "Don't tell me you walked in blind, it's a few days away from the nearest village, and there's a lot of jungle on the road, so ordinary people can't make it here alive." ”

The Greater Caucasus Mountains, the dividing line of the Eurasian continent? Liu Ye secretly smacked his tongue.

"Hahaha, I've been hungry for two days and I'm a little confused. Liu Ye smiled and said.

"So, you're here for Kahn Modi too?" the man raised his eyebrows, "Which sect has been practicing for a few years?"

Kahn Modi Liu Ye frowned, wasn't that the author of the original book he was reading?

"No, I'm not here for Kahn Modi. Liu Ye shook his head, "I am from Century Dawn and have been practicing for three years. ”

"Haven't you heard of it, is it a sect in East Asia?" the man tilted his head and thought for a while, then tore two pieces of chicken and gave them to Liu Ye, "Okay, don't pretend to be garlic with me, the magicians who came here, except for the madman, can only be Kahn Modi's." That person doesn't just accept one apprentice, as long as he can be found, anyone can do it, there is no need to be wary of each other. ”

Apprentice?Liu Ye blinked, could it be that this guy is here to apprentice?

"Why don't you eat, how can you have the strength to hurry if you don't eat? Magicians are also human beings, and they still have to eat, I heard that some of you in East Asia are hungry and cultivating, don't believe them, it's all nonsense. ”

Liu Ye licked his lips and ate the two pieces of chicken in a big gulp, and his body immediately warmed up.

"That's right, haha. The man smiled and tore him two more pieces, "Here, take it." Every year people come here in January to find the madman who thinks he is a poet and wants to learn from him, but not only can no one find him, but few people can return alive, and when they are full, they are ready to hurry, and the two of us can be together and take care of each other, lest the two of us also die in the ice and snow. ”

Liu Ye took the chicken he handed over, but there was a drum in his heart, this ice field is getting more and more real, I don't know when I can go out, and I don't know what state my body is in now.

Who is this guy who looks very straightforward and enthusiastic?
