Liu Ye told Ouyang Gu about his experience when he read "Song of the Snow", but concealed the matter of Hu Scumbag and Karn Modi, and only said that he had learned the combat skills in the endless battle.

"Thousands of times...... Ouyang Gu gasped, patted Liu Ye on the shoulder and said, "It's hard for you." ”

Liu Ye felt that his expression was exaggerated and rolled his eyes.

"You'd better not use it casually, though, especially in front of Fourier. Ouyang Gu touched his chin, "Your fighting style is very similar to his family's martial arts skills, and it will be easy to explain it when the time comes." ”

Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders and said he knew.

"That's good. Ouyang Gu grinned, "You also have something to say, ask, know everything." ”

"Who is that little boy who called himself Caesar just now?"

"The House of Julius has a name that has been passed down from generation to generation - Caesar, and only the most illustrious of the Celestial Beings can inherit this great name, in fact, there is another name - Maurice, which is the name of the founder of the family, but it is said that there has never been a qualified successor. The two of them walked back to the position of the sun lounger and sat down again, "This group of nobles has a lot of strange traditions, don't worry too much." ”

"Caesar......" Liu Ye took a sip of black tea and asked, "Is the Julius family very powerful in the wizarding world?"

"It's okay, at least it's the top in the family. Three hundred years ago, these magic families have always been the rulers of the world in the actual sense, and although the magic association has existed for a long time, it has always had no actual power, and only plays a coordinating role, such as organizing and suppressing some dark magic associations. Ouyang Gu held the teacup in his right hand, but there was not much respect in his eyes, "However, the era of aristocratic rule has long passed, and the Magic Association has quietly become a behemoth all over the world, less than a hundred years since the eighteenth century, with the addition of a large number of top magicians, no family can compete with the Magic Association anymore." And today, whether in Europe or Asia, any of the five directors of the Magic Federation is enough to sweep away the most powerful magic family, and the balance of strength has tilted to the point of no return, which is why they respect us so much. The Julius family has been passed down for thousands of years, but now it is called by a black-clothed mage from the British Magic Society, and times have changed......"

Ouyang Gu smiled and shook his head.

"Black mage, I've been hearing you talk about it, what kind of organization is that?"

"The Black Mage Regiment, directly under Watson, there are ten people in total, each of them is a top magician, Smith, and the two guys we saw in the library that day are all members of this group. In this family, apart from the patriarch of Aemond, there should be no enemies of them. And even Smith and the board of directors have an insurmountable barrier, and the gap between the association and the family can be seen. ”

Liu Ye's heart sank, since the dream that night, he had become wary of the association, and was even ready to fight against it, but only now did he know what kind of behemoth was in front of him.

"What is the relationship between the magical world and the ordinary world, doesn't the association want to rule the world?" Liu Ye could hardly imagine that they didn't have such ambitions, after all, with the power of the association, conventional weapons couldn't compete with it at all.

"Powerful forces can nurture desires in people's hearts, but the Guild has a very strict mechanism to restrain magicians, prohibiting them from interfering in the lives of ordinary people. Ouyang Gu narrowed his eyes, "At least on the surface." ”

"On the surface?"

"If the managers of this mechanism want to take advantage of the loopholes, there is still a way. ”

"You mean the directors?"

"Well, it's very unlikely, mages are usually of little interest in ordinary people, which is why few sorcerers have ever been involved in your wars. Wait, someone's coming. Ouyang Gu pointed behind Liu Ye.

"Excuse me, two. ”

Liu Ye followed the prestige, and the person who spoke was a handsome young man, wearing an indigo-colored dress, with a sword pinned to his waist, and speaking unusually standard Chinese.

"Mr. Smith has a message for you two to hurry to the altar. The young man politely bent down, put his right hand on his chest, and said, "Patriarch Aemond has ordered me to bring two of them, please." ”

"Smith?" Liu Ye frowned, and exchanged glances with Ouyang Gu: According to that guy's taciturn character, something must have happened to call them over.

"Good. The two nodded.

"The altar is a family place, the location is hidden, we need to go through the clairvoyant mirror, please follow me. ”

The three of them returned to the hut where they had come, and through the clairglass, they came to a dark cave with three mirrors on display and a barrier at the entrance of the cave.

"From here, it's a 10-minute walk south to the altar. The boy led the way.

The two of them squinted at the same time, Smith didn't go through the clairvoyant mirror when he went to the altar, and the things that could be solved by a spatial magic were now so twisted and turned, the Julius family seemed to be stalling for time.

The altar is in the middle of nowhere, some way from the cave.

Liu Ye looked around the altar and didn't see anyone stationed there.

Walking into the altar, the first thing that catches your eye is the ruined wall and the stone blocks full of yellow sand scattered around the wall, and then there are circles of circular steps, in the center of the altar there is a black obelisk broken in two, the tall stele is engraved with dense hieroglyphs, and the base is composed of white stone reliefs of Greek gods, exuding a sense of desolation unique to ancient ruins.

"This is the altar of the House of Julius. The boy stood against the light and saluted them in a graceful manner, "Please start your investigation." ”

"Where's Smith?" Liu Ye asked, the altar was empty, and he didn't see the big man in the black robe.

"I don't know. The boy smiled gently, "Maybe I've gone far away." ”

As the two spoke, Ouyang Gu had already walked down the steps, and he squatted down and wiped it on the ground, helping to lift away the thick layer of yellow sand that had accumulated, revealing the covered stone slab below.

The stone slabs are carved with fine lines, but in some places they are blocked by black gelatinous material.

"How is it?" Liu Ye walked to Ouyang Gu and squatted down, reached out and picked out a small piece of gelatinous material and put it in the palm of his hand, leaned under his nose and sniffed it, his face changed, "This is...... Blood?"

Ouyang Gu frowned, and little by little he wiped away the yellow sand covered with blood.

A large black expanse appeared before their eyes, accompanied by a strong smell of blood.

Then they saw a severed hand, and the wand it was holding was cracked.

And in the shadow below the remains of the obelisk, a corpse in a black robe that had been pierced through the skull by an arrow.

It was the skeleton of another black-clad mage, William Miller.

Ouyang Gu's pupils shrank, and he immediately made a move without hesitation, and dark red light erupted from his wand, intertwining into a blood-colored cage, covering the young man's body in an instant. Liu Ye also reacted, with both hands, the heavy ice crystals instantly froze the young man's legs.

"Honorable guest, has something happened, or is it against etiquette in what I have done?" said the young man, smiling kindly, his eyes narrowed into two slits.

"Less nonsense, where's Smith?"

"I really don't know, I'm just an ordinary guard. The boy bowed to them, "If in doubt, the two of you can raise an objection with Patriarch Emond." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Ouyang Gu asked in a deep voice, "You are not from the Julius family, and you attack the senior members of the guild, they can't afford such consequences." ”

"I don't understand what they're saying. The young man looked at his legs worriedly, "Please untie the technique as soon as possible, the magic power is low, and it won't last long." ”

Liu Ye's eyelids drooped slightly, and the ice crystals continued to grow upward, quickly sealing everything from the young man's neck down.

"You are declaring war on the House of Julius. The young man's face changed, and he shouted, "Let go of me!"

"When are you going to act?" The thin dark red thread on Ouyang Gu's wand flew out and landed beside him, turning into a eagle with bright red fur, "Killing the members of the black-clothed mage group is equivalent to directly challenging Watson's authority, you don't have the courage to face him directly." Since you tricked us here, you probably didn't plan to let us go. ”

"Ouyang Gu, is it...... You're so clever indeed, so smart that I have to kill you. The young man smiled faintly, the ice crystals on his body exploded, and he slowly pulled out the saber at his waist, "The war will start soon, and the Julius family is just the first sacrifice." ”

"War ......" Liu Ye recalled the scene in his dream, the big battle.

"You want to provoke a war? such a grand plan, you can't just kill us, what are you going to do next?" Ouyang Gu tried to get as much information as he could.

"Yes, we've been preparing for this for almost a thousand years...... Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you, I'm going to have to join up with my companions, and if I let that black-robed guy run away and attract the council guys, it will be troublesome. The young man's sword exuded a fierce wind, shattering Ouyang Gu's spell cage in an instant, "You go on the road first, and he will come back to accompany you in a while." ”

Ouyang Gu stared at the sword in the young man's hand with a solemn face, he was also the top magician, he had never failed in the past missions, but since he met Liu Ye, almost every enemy he encountered was ridiculously strong, and each one was more dangerous than the other.

"Ah Ye, as soon as he makes a move, you will run, as far as you can. Ouyang Gu took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination, "I'll do my best to stop him, and you will find a way to inform the eldest sister." ”

"I'm here to stay. ”

Liu Ye walked to Ouyang Gu and stood side by side with him, the silver flames outside his body were burning, and he was holding a hexagonal snowflake the size of a coin in his right hand.

"Ah Ye, you should know that it's more important to spread the news than to die here. ”

"I know, but," Liu Ye paused, "we'll all leave alive." ”

Ouyang Gu grinned and licked his lips: "Okay, I understand." ”

"When death is approaching, there are a lot of words. The young man chuckled, "It's right to stay, I have all the information about the two of you, and I know your fighting methods well, and I can't run away." ”

"It's not us who is dying, it's you. Liu Ye summoned his wand, and the deadwood wand at this moment was still glowing red, and it was hot, but he could already respond to Liu Ye normally, "You said you have all the information about us? It's a pity that you're wrong." ”
