Chapter 7: The Bond of Dream and Fire
γThe Imperial Capital of the Crescent Moon Empire in the Western Continentγ
Just when the expedition members came one after another, the imperial capital gradually became lively, chariots and horses from all parts of the world poured in, creatures of different races were everywhere on the streets, Emperor Huiyue fully showed its inclusiveness, and no guy would want to make trouble here openly, there is a powerful and perverted Noah human here, and ordinary people don't have the courage to make trouble here.
Sometimes Ike feels out of place in a city full of alleys, because he has been walking for a long time to find information about Ace, but he has never been able to find a library, and he really wants to find a library and ask what the "Dream Apostle" is......
After he turned a corner, he realized that he had been here ten minutes ago, so he gave up and walked to the side of the road and talked to a grandmother who seemed very experienced for a long time, and finally asked for the location of the Imperial Library, although he still did not know, he was still taken to the library by the grandmother. The magnificent library was built to the west of the imperial capital, which was the direction in which the star of wisdom rose. This is the oldest library and information repository in the Western Continent recorded in the Book of Divine Grace and Revelation, it is a quaint and heroic Gothic building, according to Grandma, this library was built 2,000 years ago, older than the Crescent Empire, when the imperial capital did not have such a large scale.
"Grandma is a storyteller......" Ike slowly approached the building, Grandma had already left. The majestic momentum of the library made Ike exclaim, "What a great place to be!" β
"Boy, I'm really convinced of you...... There's a lot of trouble here...... Why are you here here? Ace, who hadn't squeaked for a long time, suddenly spoke. Ike is also a little helpless, in other novels, the helper said that if he wanted to rest, he should be quiet for a long time, why did this guy only be quiet for a few hours before bubbling......
"Why can't you come here, it's obvious that you told me to watch it, I'll come here to check your information, what, is there anything else here that can threaten you?" Faced with Ike's inquiry, Ace was a little speechless, he didn't know what to say, it was true that he didn't tell Ike that he shouldn't come to this place.
"It's not threatening, but it just makes me feel ...... Bother! After he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a helpless cry: "Oh my God...... It's over, she's found me......" Ike was wondering what made Ace react so much, a light fell from the sky, and a man with long light blue hair burst out of the library, Eston was silent, trying to hide his breath, Ike was wondering why he was doing this, a little girl with fiery red hair came out from behind the man, her body was as translucent as Ace.
Ike suddenly understood something, but it didn't work, because he had been grabbed by the shoulders by the man, who told him with a very bright smile that he couldn't run away now.
"Skye, get the hell out of here! Don't try to hide it, if you don't come out, I'll burn this kid! The girl said angrily, and Ike sighed as he felt Ace in his body.
"Okay, Anne, don't embarrass him, let's settle our affairs separately." As soon as he came out of Ike's body, he was slapped out by the little girl, and Ike was a little stunned when he saw it, Ace was obviously a soul body, how could he be slapped so far away by this chick at once......
"Who told me what was going on...... Why do you call him Skye? Also, does he owe you anything, if so, if you want to kill or scrape him, please take care of me, just let me go. Ike said, while Ace who was beaten away looked at Ike resentfully, thinking to himself: Is he so bad that Ike dislikes......
"Little guy, it looks like you just hooked up with the Dream Apostle, it's okay, let them get intimate for a while, and I'll talk to you." The man dragged Ike to the library, and before leaving, Ike saw Ace give him a look of bitterness - like he was going to die at the hands of this little girl.
"My name is Mars, I am a deacon of the Burning Flame Guild, currently majoring in fire magic, and I am a fire magician." The man and Ike walked in the hall of the library, surrounded by delicate porcelain and majolica, Ike couldn't even see it, he had never dreamed of a library of this size, so he consciously ignored Mars's self-introduction and concentrated on this magical library.
"Uh, excuse me, what's your name?" Mars saw that Ike was so focused, and reluctantly called him out of that concentration, Ike was stunned for a moment before he realized that he hadn't heard Mars's self-introduction at all, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm so obsessed, what's your name?" β
ββ¦β¦ I...... Mars is a deacon of the Burning Guild. Mars's face twitched and he repeated what he had just said, and Ike touched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "My name is Ike, Deacon Mars, and I'm from the city-state of Kuyman." β
"Oh, are you one of Cruise's subordinates?" Mars looked at Ike curiously, Ike nodded, and Cruise smiled knowingly. At this time, they had already walked into the interior of the Imperial Library, the bookshelves as tall as towering trees made Ike's mouth grow, he had never seen so many books, and these bookshelves were inevitably too high, and there was actually a magic array that could make people float in the air between the shelves, and through the drive of magic, people could levitate up and down at will.
Not only that, when Ike followed Mars gradually deeper into the library, a wave of magic fluctuations hit, he could clearly feel that after all, the fluctuations were too strong, Ike found that a wall of magical power appeared in front of him, blocking his path, Mars raised his hand, and the wall was slowly disappearing. Seeing the fiery red mist in Mars's hand, he knew that the man in front of him was not an ordinary magician.
"Huh? What's wrong? Stunned? Mars looked at Ike, who was a little sluggish, and Ike hurriedly shook his head and said, "No...... No, you must be strong. β
Mars was a little flustered when he heard Ike say this, he looked at Ike and didn't feel anything different from ordinary people: "How do you see that?" He asked Ike curiously, he knew very well that he had not shown any signs in front of Ike that would prove that he was strong, and that he had only opened the wall with a very weak magical power.
"I don't know how to say it, my feelings tell me that you have a very strong strength, at least stronger than Cruise's pervert, well, I'm just saying that in terms of magic, that pervert is simply invincible when he holds a big sword......" Ike said, Mars's brows furrowed more and more, he became more and more suspicious of Ike's talent, this is definitely deceptive, how can a person who can feel the power in his body be an ordinary person?
"I have to say, you have an amazing talent that I don't even know, or rather, can't see, which makes me feel very mysterious and interesting, but it does seem to be a little less knowledgeable." Mars smiled and walked to the other side of the wall, and Ike felt a little puzzled, because Cruise had said something similar.
"You can see that I have a lot of power in me, and I have to say that you have better talents than some of the current powerhouses, for example, a certain irascible guy who pretends to be a nun, she doesn't see my power." As he spoke, an angular spar appeared in Mars's hand, and Ike clearly felt that the power in Mars's body condensed on the spar in his hand.
"What is this?" Ike asked, and Mars smiled and said, "Fire is the source of magic, and it's an A-grade source of magic." Mars smiled, Ike was fascinated by the fiery red halo, he saw the power in the hedrons, and then shook his head, "Unfortunately, he is not the ultimate I see." After saying that, he remembered the gray man who was called the Duke by Ace, and the strength in his body was called terror.
"I'm not interested in this anymore, I want to know more about what that dead boy is doing with my money all the time." Ike digs his nostrils. Mars thought this kid was really strange, others would have a great desire to see the source of magic, but he didn't feel that way at all, which made Mars very curious, and he wanted to know more and more about the identity of this kid.
Mars continued to walk towards the depths of the library, the surroundings became darker and darker, finally, a blue light appeared in front of them, Ike felt the breath of wisdom, looking at the source of the light, a huge book suspended in the air on a magic array, Mars walked to the front of the book, chanting a spell, Ike looked at Mars, like worship.
Suddenly, Mars was catapulted far away, and said in a disgraced voice, "Hey, hey, did you remember the spell wrong...... It's a decline. Suddenly Ike felt as if something had been destroyed, and looked at Mars with a very helpless look as he approached the book again.
"Ike, do you know the story of the twelve who unlocked the power of the gods?" Mars asked him, and Ike shrugged, "Of course...... I don't know. β
"Alright, I've been defeated by your ignorance." Mars then explained to him the great powers that the twelve young men had gained after entering the Courtyard of the Gods, and told Ike: "Apostles, it is the afterlife of the twelve young men, and the Dream Apostle is the afterlife of Skye, the former Dream Sage. And that little girl is the Sage of Fire - Anne's afterlife, they retain some memories of their previous lives, but they are not so complete, and their afterlife is too powerful because of the power of their previous lives, and their souls are crippled in reincarnation when they are reincarnated, and they cannot live in ** independently, so they have to contract with us to obtain a physical body for a short time. Mars explained it to Ike very clearly.
"Then why does this guy eat so much, and besides, is he very strong?" Ike didn't care why they had broken souls, anyway, he didn't even know much about magic, and he didn't care about reincarnation, afterlife, or anything.
"Their consumption is very large, and they need a lot of supplements, and Anne eats a lot. Their strength, I have to admit that my current strength, even with the blessing of my magic source, using the most powerful magic, can't beat Annie, her state of full firepower, well, can be described as terrifying. Mars remembered that when Anne was angry, she was so frightened that she could easily destroy a heavily armed army.
"By the way, what kind of enmity do the two of them have, why haven't you seen them yet?" Ike asked, thinking of this, and several black lines fell on Mars's head.
"Skye...... No, no, it's what you said about Ace, he used to ...... ...... Anne" Hearing Mars's hesitant words, Ike seemed to understand something, and scolded viciously: "Brute! β
β¦β¦
Outside the library, Anne was whipping Ace, who didn't dare to fight back, counting Ace's crimes as she beat them: "You say, what do you owe me?" β
"I shouldn't have eaten you...... Elaborate ...... Let's have a big meal. As soon as Ace finished speaking, a fire whip snapped over, and Ace looked aggrieved: "Annie, what else have I done?" I can't remember! Can you give me a hint? β
"Last time I was thrown in Louise Canyon, who sold me there and didn't have anything to eat, but I went to the Imperial City to eat good food!" Ace reluctantly raised his hand to admit his unscrupulous crimes, even though he felt that he was not wrong at all......
"What bastard is it that spends all his money on drinking when he acts together!"
"It's me!" In order to suffer less from the flesh and skin, Ace shouted out happily, but no one saw it anyway.
"You two little apostles have a lot of fun, the Apostle of Fire and the Apostle of Dreams, okay, I'll take the two of you down together this time!" As Anne punished Ace, several masked Orientals appeared in front of them.
"Haha, it's up to you? Wait, how do you see the soul body of ours? Anne originally thought that someone was happy to fight, but then suddenly she felt that something was wrong, and the men in black took out a few charms from their robes and released them in the air, Ace was taken aback: "Oh no! It's the Onmyoji of the East! Don't let them get stamped! β
It's a pity that Ace's words were still a step too late, those black-robed people had already formed a spell mark, and a mysterious rune was formed on the ground, imprisoning the two apostles to death.
"Hmph, dare to snatch my spirit beads, let you two little bastards see how powerful I am this time." Lan walked out from behind the man in black, and Lu Yunhou, who followed behind her, held her forehead helplessly at the foul language she had just exploded.
