Chapter 53: The House of Julius

Early the next morning, Liu Ye and Ouyang Gu followed Smith to a small room on the north side of the church, where there was a row of mirrors, a total of eight sides, and behind the small table at the door sat a priest-like white-bearded old man, wearing a red robe, wearing thick monocles, and looking at a severed wand.

"Oh, it's going to Italy, right? The second mirror from the left, let's go. The old man only glanced at them, then lowered his head to fiddle with the wand again, "Smith, keep an eye on them, don't touch them." ”

"Yes. Smith bowed his head respectfully, and led the two into the cabin.

"It's a clairvoyant, of course, that's what we call it there. Seeing that Liu Ye was a little hesitant, Ouyang Gu took the initiative to explain, "The two sides are connected, and you can go through it to the location of the other clairvoyant mirror." ”

Before he finished speaking, Smith had already walked in, and the mirror was filled with ripples, and the corners of the black robe twisted slightly, completely submerged in the mirror.

"Let's go. Ouyang Gu smiled and stepped into the mirror.

Liu Ye squinted his eyes and was about to follow, but the old man's voice came from behind him: "Young man, wait a minute." ”

"Huh?" Liu Ye turned around and found that the old man was waving at him.

"Look at this wand. ”

Liu Ye walked up to the old man and looked down at the wand in his hand that only had a small section left, the wand was ordinary brown, the fracture was black, and there were obvious traces of fire.

"Do you like it?"

Liu Ye was coldly asked by him, and he didn't know whether to answer yes or no for a while, but he clearly felt the longing call from the dead wood staff.

"I've got you. The old man glanced at his waist, intentionally or not, "Go ahead, don't keep your friend waiting too long." ”

Liu Ye took the half of the wand from his hand with some trepidation, bowed to him, and trotted into the clairvoyant mirror.

"Why is it so slow?" said Smith, frowning and staring at the clairhand.

"Newcomer, be considerate of him. Ouyang Gu grinned.

The place where the two of them now stood was similar to that of London, and it was also a small room full of mirrors.

The mirror rippled, Liu Ye's figure pierced through the mirror, he was a little dizzy, the process just now was a bit like suddenly sinking to the bottom of the sea, and there was a feeling of breathlessness for a moment.

"Three guests. A maid in a maid's uniform stood at the door, bowing slightly, in a London accent, "Master has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”

The three of them followed the maid through a long corridor with a burgundy carpet and a vast green meadow with an intricately carved fountain pool in the center.

Walking down two floors, they came to a large room, flanked by built-in bookshelves, densely packed with many books, two flower baskets on the long table in the center, and on the sofa facing the door sat a richly dressed middle-aged man, his eyes were deep-set, his eyebrows were thick, and there was an air of not being angry and arrogant. Seeing them coming, the man stood up and bowed slightly to welcome them.

"Patriarch Aemond, there's no need for red tape. Smith said in Italian, "How's the altar?"

"Sir, don't worry, it's still early, I'll take you there myself after lunch. Aemond smiled slightly, "I guess Chairman Watson must be happy to hear that the Society has recovered the stolen Paradise Flower." ”

"The chairman's mood is not something I can guess. Smith looked around, "Patriarch Aemond, where is Mr. William?"

"Mr. William has already gone to the altar, he has rejected the guard I have assigned, and has chosen to go alone, and has not yet returned. ”

"Alone? Smith narrowed his eyes, "Patriarch Aemond, I'm going to find him, and I would like you to entertain these two magicians from the East, their customs are very different from ours, and I hope you will bear with me." ”

"It's okay, please. ”

Smith dissipated in a cloud of black mist.

Liu Ye didn't understand Italian, he didn't understand what they were saying the whole time, and when he saw Smith disappear, he blinked, turned his head to look at Ouyang Gu, and he was still grinning confidently.

"Hey, what did they say?" Liu Ye asked softly.

"I don't know, I don't understand. Ouyang Gu smiled and shook his head, "Relax, keep smiling." ”

"Two. Patriarch Aemond smiled and spoke in English, "Mr. Smith has decided to go to the altar first, and I will arrange for someone to prepare refreshments in the courtyard, where you can wait for him." ”

"Thank you. The two of them bowed their hands to him and replied in English.

"Okay, Annie, take them to the yard. Patriarch Aemond commanded the maid at the door, and he picked up the book on the table.

"Two guests, please come with me. Anne smiled and shook her hand at the door.

Sitting on the sun lounger in the garden, Liu Ye was behind him with a roaring fountain, and there were a lot of English snacks on the table in front of him, as well as a pot of Earl Grey black tea, but he had no appetite, he only held his head and looked at the sky.

Ouyang Gu didn't have any burden, took a piece of scone and patiently spread the applesauce.

"What's the matter with you, I feel like you've been sullen since last night. Ouyang Gu took a sip of black tea, "Do you feel too tired?" It's okay, this incident has nothing to do with us, just paddle." ”

"You say, why did Watson ask us to come?" Liu Ye sighed and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong here." ”

"What's the problem, it's just that the Asian side is afraid that they will splash dirty water, so let's be a witness. Ouyang Gu also poured him a cup of tea, "The two of us just need to experience the life of the nobles here in Julius, and we don't have to worry about anything else." ”

"I hope so. That being said, Liu Ye always had a stone hanging in his heart.

"Don't worry. By the way, when this happens, after returning to the dawn of the century, you will have to practice well. Ouyang Gu smiled cheaply, "I heard the eldest sister say that Shi Lan has been training every day and night recently, and her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and she can already fight with Fourier." ”

"She won't be tired......" Liu Ye said softly as he stared at the splash of the fountain, he didn't know Fourier's strength, but he could imagine Shi Lan's efforts.

"No, the eldest sister has her own measure. Ouyang Gu threw him a sandwich, "Come, eat something, we didn't eat breakfast." ”

"Are you Liu Ye?" Suddenly, a childish childish voice sounded in the ears of the two, and he spoke in Chinese, although it sounded very awkward.

"Are you?" Liu Ye raised his eyebrows, and put the sandwich down again before he could stuff it into his mouth. A little boy in a silver-gray robe was looking at him with a fighting look, "Little friend, do you have something to do with me?"

"I'm going to provoke you!" the little boy raised his hand, and a silver wand appeared.

"Pick on me, do you want to say challenge?" Liu Ye scratched his head, he was not good at dealing with children, especially this kind of boy about ten years old, "We don't know each other, why are you challenging me?"

"It is said that you are the most gifted magician wing of this era, and I am not convinced. The little boy puffed up and said, "Quick, that's your magic badge." ”

"Magician wings?" Liu Ye felt a headache, he glanced at Ouyang Gu for help, but Ouyang Gu quietly moved the chair away, holding the teacup with an expression that was not too big to see the excitement.

"Well, well, how do you want to challenge. Liu Ye let out a long sigh, spread his right hand, and wanted to summon the deadwood staff, but there was no response, he hurriedly looked down at his waist, and found that the deadwood staff in the brocade bag was shining red, and the half of the burnt wand was gone.

"You don't even need a wand, and you despise me?" said the little boy, whose face turned red with anger, and in Italian, he raised his silver wand aloft and said, "Flying sand and stones." ”

"No, no, no......" Liu Ye waved his hand again and again, although he couldn't understand what the little boy was saying, he knew with his toes that the other party must have misunderstood.

Ouyang Gu took a sip of black tea with great interest, and quietly watched Liu Ye's figure being swallowed up by the flying sand.

Soon, the emerald green light gushed out, dispelling the sand and gravel, revealing Liu Ye with a gray face. He never expected that this little boy would do it directly in the yard, and he suffered a secret loss as soon as he came up.

"Hmph, is that the level?" the little boy smiled disdainfully, "Thunder Blast." ”

Ten golden lightning bolts converged towards Liu Ye from all directions, his eyelids drooped, this little boy was not only rude, but also used such a rather lethal technique, which was really lacking in discipline.

Liu Ye's gaze suddenly became cold, silver flames attached to his body, and golden points of light condensed into a long sword in his hand.

The murderous aura that had been fought thousands of times on the ice field was released in an instant, and the little boy couldn't help but shudder.

Ouyang Gu, who was originally watching leisurely, suddenly shrank his pupils, squirted out a mouthful of tea, and looked at the swaying silver goods on Liu Ye's body in surprise.

A cold light flashed, and the little boy didn't see anything clearly, Liu Ye's long sword was already on his neck, and a cold stinging sensation came.

"I, I lost. The little boy said in a low tone.

"Hmph. Liu Ye snorted coldly, the long sword dispersed, and a shallow blood mark was left on the little boy's neck, "What's your name." ”

"Caesar. The little boy hooked his finger and said, "I'll come again!"

"Caesar?" Liu Ye touched his cheek, ready to scare the bear child, "You still want to challenge me, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid!" The little boy's eyes were full of fighting spirit again, and he swept away the depression just now, "I am the one who inherits the name of Caesar, and I will never be afraid of death!"

"Oh, so you're the Caesar of this generation?" Ouyang Gu walked over and put him on Liu Ye's shoulder, "How many years have you been practicing magic?"

"One year and seven months!"

"It's a real talent. Ouyang Gu smiled, leaned over to the child, pointed at Liu Ye and said, "But if you want to challenge this uncle, it's still a little bit worse, let's come back in a few years." ”

"Uncle?" Liu Ye coughed twice dissatisfied, he was obviously only in his twenties.

The little boy nodded and ran away obediently.

"Ah Ye. Ouyang Gu turned to look at Liu Ye's eyes, bit his lip, put his hands in his pockets, and said helplessly, "Should you tell me what happened just now?"
