Chapter 4: The Magician

"Magician?" Liu Ye's first reaction was that this person was talking nonsense to himself, "What magician? Are you kidding me?"

Mu Shilan didn't defend either, as if she had expected that Liu Ye wouldn't believe it, she took out a few photos and put them on the bed and said, "Believe it or not." Anyway, if you look at these photos first, can you think of anything?"

Liu Ye looked over, there were three photos, they were a smoke-smoking church, a blurry white shadow and a dilapidated square in the style of ancient Roman architecture, after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "No impression, I haven't been to these two places." ”

Mu Shilan was a little surprised and disappointed, grandpa's divination had never been missed.

Seeing Mu Shilan's expression change, Liu Ye began to think about his current situation.

The two people in front of him claimed to be magicians, and they were here to pick them up and leave Boyun City. But Liu Ye clearly knows that he is not a person with any special status, his parents and elders are at peace, and there is nothing unclear about his life experience, even if he has participated in some confidential incidents, but that was ten years ago. Now he is no longer a talented scientific wizard like Chen Siyun, so what is the purpose of them coming to find him? Because of the three photos just now? But in the past few years, he has stayed in Boyun City and has not been to other places, no matter what kind of thing should not involve him, so who are these two people......

No, there is too little information known to be difficult to judge. However, judging from Mu Shilan's performance along the way, she should not be a bad person, and she also saved herself, maybe you can talk to her to see if you can get more clues.

"Who the hell are you?"

"We've told you, my name is Mu Shilan, his name is Smith, and we're magicians. Mu Shilan blinked.

Liu Ye frowned, she didn't look like she was lying, but magic? What is magic? The twenty-second century has passed halfway, and there are still people who believe in magic?

Before he became the current salted fish, he was a member of the "Hundred Talents Project" in Boyun City, and he had been exposed to a large number of scientific experiments that could be called miracles, so his ability to accept new things was stronger than ordinary people, but he was still a little reluctant to believe in magic.

"Well, why don't you believe us? Look. Shi Lan raised her right index finger, and a walnut-sized water ball appeared out of thin air, slowly spinning around her fingertips.

For no reason, the moment Liu Ye saw the water ball, he accepted the setting of the existence of magic, as if everything should be like this, and even in the bottom of his heart, there was a faint trace of contempt, as if Shi Lan's magic was just a little trick to fool people, not worth mentioning.

Liu Ye was frightened by his thoughts, he pinched his thigh hard, severe pain came, and his groggy head finally cleared up a little.

"So, you really are magicians. Liu Ye took a deep breath, looked at Shi Lan calmly and said, "You came to me just for those photos, right? So, what the hell happened." ”

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Liu Ye to be so calm. She stuck out her tongue and replied, "The first is the headquarters of the British Magical Society, the third is the ancient altar of Rome, and the second is the attacker we are tracking." ”

"Attackers?"

"Well, fifteen days ago, at eleven o'clock in the evening on September 3, 2164, the headquarters of the British Magical Society was attacked by unknown persons, and the outer barrier was breached in less than a minute, and a magic weapon called the "Flower of Heaven" was taken. Just a few hours later, in the early hours of September 4, the altar guarded by the Gaius Julius family was attacked, and the entire altar protection was destroyed in an instant, and the ten magicians in charge of guarding it did not survive, and the magic weapons in the altar were removed. The day after the incident, the European Federation of Magic set up a powerful tracking technique at its headquarters, but almost no clues were found, and only a vague figure was found in the development mirror, which was the second photo. ”

"Wait, wait, the Julius family, are you talking about, the family of Julius Caesar in ancient Rome?" Liu Ye, who had been nodding in a daze, suddenly heard a name that he was familiar with.

"Well, you know a lot. ”

"Hehehe......" Liu Ye smiled helplessly, he felt that the historical knowledge he had learned since childhood was likely to be completely subverted in the near future.

"After the search was fruitless, Mark M. Watson, the president of the European Magical Federation, asked for assistance from the Asian Magical Federation, and then, Mr. Smith, a member of the British Magical Society's black-clad mage group, came to my magical organization, Century Dawn, remember, it was 'Shi-Ji-Chen-Xi-'. Under the guidance of the president, Director Yan Heling, we have found you. Shi Lan's mouth spoke fast like a machine gun, and she tugged at Liu Ye's hand as she spoke, "Okay, you should all understand, come with us now!"

"Eh, wait a minute," Liu Ye stopped her repeatedly, "You mean, there is a mysterious person who single-handedly attacked the headquarters of the British Magical Society and a heavily guarded altar, and took away the important utensils inside?

"yes, yes, you're smart. Shi Lan nodded repeatedly, "Quick, let's go right away." ”

"Wait. Liu Ye half-squinted his eyes, "If you are really magicians, then it should be effortless to take me away, why bother to explain so much to me?"

"We're not robbers. Shi Lan touched Liu Ye's head like a dog's head, "How many times do you want to say it, we are not here to arrest you, not to arrest you, just because the divination results show that you are the key person." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm...... A key person is a very important person. Shilan explained solemnly.

"......" Liu Ye pursed her lips, this girl didn't understand her problem at all.

"Director Yan believes that there is an important connection between you and the attacker of this incident. Suddenly, a male voice sounded in the room, speaking very standard Mandarin.

"Who? Who's talking?" Liu Ye looked left and right, but didn't see anyone else.

Could it be......

"Although you can't see anything directly related to him based on your resume, Director Yan's divination skills have never gone wrong before, and there is no reason to think that there will be problems this time. Smith said as he walked in from the balcony, "So, we have to take you away." ”

Liu Ye was dumbfounded, how could this cold European, who had been silent since they met, speak Chinese without any accent.

"All in all, you have to come with us. Shi Lan's big eyes rolled and she made a summary.

"Okay, I'll go with you. Liu Ye raised his hands to say surrender, so far, there is no point in resisting, only by going with the two of them can he have a chance to figure out what happened.

Mu Shilan glanced at Smith, who nodded and took out a one-foot-long wand.

Liu Ye, who was confused, didn't know what they were going to do, until the aqua blue light surrounded them.

The light cleared, and the trio appeared in the airport lobby.

Liu Ye looked at all this in amazement, space shuttle, this technology that the scientific community has been discussing since the twentieth century but has not yet been realized, but now it is really happening in front of his eyes, in a magical way.

"Hey, won't you be seen if you appear so suddenly?And, why do you want to come to the airport? Why don't you go directly to your place?" Liu Ye asked a lot of questions.

"No, they won't notice, we have a sensory shielding technique. Shi Lan waved her hand, indicating that it didn't matter, he was too worried, "Of course you come to the airport by plane, this is the center of the Pacific Ocean, the kind of space magic that can span half the world, few people in this world can use it." ”

Smith frowned and glanced at Liu Ye, even a magician who has been practicing for many years will experience dizziness and vomiting when he experiences spatial movement for the first time, and this person obviously has no magic power to protect his body, but he has not shown any abnormal reaction, which is really a strange thing.

After six hours of air travel, the moon was already hanging in the night sky when they got off the plane, and after another teleportation, Liu Ye and they came to a large golden villa, the fountain garden landscape lawn, and two rows of magnolia trees were planted in front of the door, extending all the way to the main entrance of the garden.

"Wait, the one you are talking about, 'Century Dawn', in this place?" Liu Ye was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, in his impression, the identity of a magician should be living in a Gothic castle or a Taoist temple on a mountain, but he didn't expect to live in the villa area of Hangzhou City so magnificently.

"Well, what?" Mu Shilan turned around.

"Uh-nothing, it's-uh-"

"Put away your stupid prejudices, we are magicians, not savages, nor poor ghosts. Mu Shilan guessed his thoughts, gave him a blank look, and walked towards the gate, "Let's go, go in." ”

Liu Ye touched his head awkwardly and followed.

"Smith?" Liu Ye found Smith standing still and waved at him.

"Let's go, let's go, leave him alone, a magician of his level, the branch of the European Magic Federation has to receive him well, he has a place to live. Mu Shilan saw that Liu Ye was not moving, so she ran back and pulled him inside.

All the way through the front hall, when the two went up the stairs, a boy with a book and a water glass happened to walk down, seeing this scene, he showed an expression of disbelief, and the water glass in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"Shilan, this ...... Is this your boyfriend?" he asked, his face turning pale and a serious blow to his heart.

However, Mu Shilan didn't pay attention to him at all, but pulled Liu Ye and ran past him.

When passing by him, Liu Ye threw a sympathetic look to the man with glasses in a plaid shirt, poor child, unrequited love is really bitter.

When she reached the third floor, Shi Lan pushed open a half-hidden door, and a huge library appeared in front of Liu Ye, surrounded by bookshelves more than ten stories high, the ceiling was a brilliant cosmic star map, and next to the wooden desk in the middle, an old man in Tang costume was sitting.

"Space magic. Without waiting for Liu Ye to ask, Shi Lan rushed to explain to him.

"Let me introduce you, in front of you is one of the directors of the Asian Magic Federation, the best soothsayer and space magician, and the president of the 'Century Dawn', Yan Heling, my grandfather. Shi Lan's tone exuded a hint of smugness.

Liu Ye looked at the old man more than ten meters away and bowed to him.

The old man smiled and beckoned to him.

Liu Ye walked towards him, but after only two steps, he had already come to the desk, and he looked back in surprise to see that Shi Lan was still at the door more than ten meters away.

"Little friend, please be seated. The old man was very kind, and Liu Ye couldn't help but think back to his deceased grandfather.

The old man made a "please" gesture, and there was a chair behind Liu Ye silently, and he sat down.

"Why are we looking for you, I guess Shilan has already told you. A blue and white tea bowl suddenly appeared in the old man's hand, "Come, drink tea." ”
