Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wizard's Whereabouts

February 14, 528 at 07:00 in the Magic Calendar

Hongying woke up from the sofa and saw that it was already dawn, so she immediately jumped up: "What time is it?" Hongying turned her head to look at the clock, "Why did I sleep for so long?" What about Tianyu? Is Tianyu back? ”

Xiang Risong was woken up by Hongying: "Squinting at Hongying? Is Tianyu back? ”

Tianyu came out of the kitchen: "I'm back." He had milk and a sandwich, "Let's talk as we eat." ”

Hongying rubbed her sleepy eyes and ran over: "Did Meng Lou say it?" ”

"Sit down and listen to me slowly."

Xiang Himatsu also sat down at the dining table, lying on the table and looking at Tianyu.

Tian Yu sat down and began to talk about the whole process of his search for Meng Lou in the early morning.

When Tianyu found Meng Lou, Meng Lou, Meng Kui and Meng Tianyi were already asleep in the dormitory. He entered the teacher's dormitory through the window.

Meng Lou was woken up, and seeing Tian Yu standing in front of him, Meng Lou was startled.

Tianyu immediately covered Meng Lou's mouth: "Shhh I have something to ask you, you come out for a moment. ”

Meng Lou glanced at Meng Kui and Meng Tianyi, who were still sleeping in the same room, and looked at Tian Yu again, wanting to ask Tian Yu what he was going to do, but Tian Yu had already opened the door of the room and was waiting for him outside.

Meng Lou had no choice but to get out of bed and take a windbreaker and put it on her body. Meng Lou closed the door and asked Tianyu in a low voice: "You came to me so late?" What happened? ”

"I'm here to ask you about the Rose Curse."

Meng Lou didn't expect that Tianyu actually came to ask him about this matter. But how could Tian Yu think of asking this dignifiedly.

Meng Lou looked at Tian Yu suspiciously for a long time. Tianyu looked at Meng Lou: "You don't have to look at me like that, I already know your secret." ”

Meng Lou smiled disdainfully: "I don't know what you're talking about. The Rose Curse is a legendary curse, and you suddenly barged in and came to ask me such an inexplicable thing, I wonder if you are sleeping? ”

"I'm not sleeping, I think Uncle Meng should know better than I do. Since I would be so clear that I want to know the answer from you, it means that I already know your secret, and now the dream star next to you is fake. ”

"Is Mengtianxing there for you?" Meng Lou guessed that Tian Yu must have met Meng Tianxing, otherwise he wouldn't have been so confident to run over and ask himself. "I hid her in a very safe place. She won't appear to threaten you. I just want to know how you put such a vicious rose curse on your daughter. ”

Meng Lou knew that it was impossible to hide it from Tianyu, so she said something about what happened back then: "Although in your heart, I am a mercenary person like your father, but I still loved Man Qingxuan very much back then, although she was three years older than me and a commoner, but her beauty deeply attracted me. ”

"Then why would you do something like that?" Tianyu was puzzled.

"You know, what kind of environment and ideas the dreamer is, it's because my mother and your grandmother don't agree, I had to break up with her, who knows that she has all kinds of nonsense, and she has lost my dreamer's face, although I like her, but there is no way to tolerate her doing this."

"So, you're going to kill her?"

"I'm still going to think about the old love, I don't really want to hurt her, I just want to get her away. But she said she was pregnant, and I thought maybe I could talk to the family. Who knew that your grandmother would be even more furious when she heard this, but the next day your grandmother was like a different person. ”

Tian Yu looked at Meng Lou, although all this was very consistent with the real situation of the Dream Family, but said that Meng Lou was completely just a bystander, Tian Yu did not believe it.

Meng Lou continued: "Your grandmother said that as long as Qing Xuan gave birth to a child, she would agree to me marrying her, and I was really happy at that time. But I would also wonder why my mother was converted so quickly. Soon Qing Xuan gave birth to a girl, and I was about to get excited about the fact that we were going to get married, but my mother told me everything. It was like a bolt from the blue for me. ”

"What did Grandma say?"

"Mother said that one day she received a letter from a man called the Cave Wizard, who said that such a marriage full of intrigue was wrong, and that she understood her mother, so she wanted to help her mother get rid of this evil woman."

"How does this cave wizard know?"

"It's even more impossible for me to know what kind of deal my mother made when she met with that person, and then gave Qing Xuan to drink that wizard's potion. This potion is to make Qing Xuan get the rose curse, and when she gave birth to Tianxing, she had a difficult birth, and she was burned alive in the end. ”

"I didn't expect your heart to be so ruthless."

"It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that I can't fight my family, the dream family at that time is not like it is now in decline, at that time, there were still many elders in the family, they wouldn't let me marry a civilian woman like this. When I finally got some hope, this fire completely extinguished me, and passed on this curse to the celestial star. What else can I do? ”

Tian Yu shook his head: "I have no way to believe you. ”

"If I really were that kind of ruthless person, I would have killed them directly, and Tianxing would not have lived to be fifteen years old."

"Then if you still say that kind of thing to her, then you still want to kill her." Tianyu glared at Meng Lou angrily.

"You won't understand, my father died of illness, and our dream family is not as good as before, so we need people from the council more now. That's why your father will arrange a marriage for you, you look at your father, his current strength is not good, and now he is injured again. Without some power at home, we will soon be kicked out of the ranks of the nobility. When the time comes, we will be the kind of people who are looked down upon. Meng Lou became serious, "I'm going to kill Tianxing because she threatens me, she can't live to be eighteen years old, it's not good for the Dream Family, but if she can leave the Dream Family, maybe she can be a little happier." ”

"You don't have to pretend, but you can rest assured, Mengtianxing will be well taken care of." Tianyu couldn't tell if Meng Lou was pretending or real, this person was too contradictory and too entangled.

"If you can guarantee that Mengtianxing will not show up again to reveal my secret, I can tell you the information I have investigated."

"I don't have to assure you about that, now she's my sister, my family."

Monroe turned around and thought for a little annoyance, and finally sighed: "Their trading point is on the southeast slope of the Central Highlands, and I found that my mother suddenly disappeared when she got there. ”

"Isn't there just one transaction? Why do they see each other so often? ”

"I don't know about it, but I thought it strange when I saw my mother getting weaker and weaker, and then I found out that every once in a while, my mother would go to that place. Until his mother died, and then his father died of a sudden serious illness. ”

Tian Yu frowned: "Why do I think these things seem to have something to do with the Demon Cave Wizard?" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's okay anymore, as long as I don't fall out of my professorship position at the academy, I'm thankful." Meng Lou turned back to the room, "I've said everything I can say, I don't believe it, but I won't say this a second time." You're good at your own devices, and once I find out that the Star threatens my reputation, you don't want to be with Hongying. ”

Tian Yu told everything to Hong Ying and Xiang Risong. Hongying carefully wrote down all the information in Menglou's words.

Tianyu sighed and said, "I don't understand why there is such a big contradiction in what Meng Lou said before and after, I don't know if I can believe his words." I don't know if it helps us. ”

Xiang Risong patted Tianyu on the shoulder: "You are still a naΓ―ve child, and you don't understand many things." There are a lot of things that you keep in your heart, as if you never cared about them, but that's just lying to yourself. Meng Lou is like this, whether you say that he loves Qing Xuan or not, this matter is meaningless. What he wants is to continue to live, to live decently. ”

Hongying took a sip of milk: "But he can hide Tianxing for so long without hurting her, I think he loves Qingxuan, although brother, you said that it doesn't make sense, but it makes sense to Tianxing." You don't want to be used as a tool for someone else's status elevation, and if my existence can prove that my parents loved me, then I wouldn't be so pathetic. ”

Xiang Risong looked at Hongying: "Don't think so, those are all things of the past, you still have us now." ”

Hongying pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes, let's find the clue quickly." ”

Marshall said, "Can I go and sleep for a while, I'm sleepy." ”

Hongying said, "You, go to sleep." ”

Xiang Risong said: "Where is the trading point just mentioned? ”

Tian Yu replied, "On the southeast slope of the Central Highlands. ”

Hongying said, "Then I'll take Xiaoba to find it." ”

Xiang Risong stood up: "I'll go with you." ”

"Brother, it's better for you to stay at home. After all, you still have injuries on your body. ”

Tianyu said, "It's better for me to go with Hongying." ”

Hongying said, "I'll go find Xiaoba." Baa, where are you? ”

"Baa ......" Xiao Ba walked into the restaurant, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Come out with me." Hongying held the unicorn in her arms, "Where are your little horns and little wings?" ”

"Have you been looking for something again these days, he's been stealing my magic. So I put away the horns and wings first. ”

"By the way, you can eat mana, so can you eat the rose curse on the celestial star?"

"Are you trying to kill me?" Xiao Baa wrinkled her nose.

"Can't you eat it?" Hongying rubbed the soft fur on Xiaoba's body.

"Of course I can't, it's not good magic, and I can't completely strip the Rose Curse from that little girl's body." Xiao Baa looked at Hongying with big round eyes.

"Alright, let's go." Hongying put the unicorn on her shoulder, and Xiao Baa actually sat on the ground quite steadily.

Tianyu followed Hongying and nodded to Xiang Risong: "I will take care of Hongying." ”

Hongying and Tianyu left Wangcheng and saw that most of the ruins in Doro District had been cleared. Hongying took Tianyu's hand and said, "I didn't expect it to be rebuilt quite quickly." ”

"Yes, if we don't rebuild it soon, I'm afraid that the two surrounding countries will try to sneak up on us, and I think they must have known that our kingdom is going to a king. I think the situation at the border is still very tense. Tian Yu looked at some of the places that had become flat ground, and had already begun to lay the foundation.

Hongying and Tianyu walked to the southeast of the Central Highlands, but there was no way to determine the exact location.

Hongying asked Xiaoba, "Xiaoba, can you feel it?" Is there anything unusual in the neighborhood? ”

Xiao Baa jumped off Hongying's shoulder: "Baa...... Baa ......"

Hongying and Tianyu followed behind Xiao Ba, a little nervous and expectant.

Xiao Baa stopped: "I found it, but her magic is very strong, even if I can break this illusion, you may not be able to catch her." ”

Hongying raised her eyebrows: "Even I can't deal with her?" ”

"Haven't you already separated the magic? If you want to deal with this cave wizard, you have to take back your magic. ”

"If I take my magic back, those horses in Rose Ridge will be out of protection." Hongying shook her head.

Tian Yu asked worriedly, "Then what should we do?" ”

Hongying sighed, looked at the entrance and shook her lips and thought for a while: "No! I've got to give it a try, baa, can you help me break this magic circle? ”

Xiaoba hesitated: "Even if you go in, if you can't beat her, you will still be trapped inside." I may not have been able to save you. ”

Tian Yu also stopped Hongying: "Since even Xiao Ba can't guarantee your safety, why don't we think of other ways." ”

Hongying looked at Tianyu's eyes: "Tianyu, Tianxing has no time." Now the answer is inside, if you want me to give up now, I can't do it. ”

Tian Yu stared at Hongying's eyes: "You see that you yourself are actually not so sure, do you really want to take risks?" ”

Hongying pursed her lips: "Xiaoba, would you like to go with me?" ”

"I don't have a problem."

Hongying took Tianyu's hand: "You wait for me here, I can't take you and me on an adventure." ”

"I'll go with you, I promised your brother."

"If I don't come out by night, you can find my brother to save me." Hong Ying just raised her hand.

Tian Yu grabbed Hong Ying's hand, held her in his arms, and kissed Hong Ying's mouth.

"Don't try to stun me again." Tian Yu's eyes were very determined when he looked at Hongying.

Xiao Ba also said: "Hongying, you just let Tianyu go with you, I'll guard outside, in case you are trapped by illusion, I can still save you once." ”

Hongying hesitated for a long time. In the end, it was Tianyu who took Hongying's hand and said, "Don't you believe me? ”

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities. I'm just, worried you're going to get hurt. ”

"Don't worry about me, I'm strong too." Tianyu looked at Xiao Ba, "Xiao Baa starts." ”

Baa: "Baa ......" Baa's body was bubbling with golden light, instantly shattering the illusion, revealing a small entrance that could only pass through one person.

Tian Yu immediately drilled in, followed by Hongying.

The entrance was very dark, and it took about five minutes to walk before the tunnel tended to get bigger.

Tian Yu said, "It's too dark here. ”

Hongying walked in front of Tianyu: "I can see that this place is full of magic. I'll take you with me. ”

"Will the cave wizard be here?"

Hongying said: "This should be the Demon Cave, this place is much bigger than I imagined. I think the cave wizard must be here. It's a special time to hide. ”

"So it's very likely that the eldest brother's grandfather couldn't find any trace of the cave wizard." Tianyu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, but there must be no light in the demon cave, so he still couldn't see anything.

Hongying stopped: "Tianyu, don't look with your eyes, the darkness will make your silence very uncomfortable." Close your eyes and feel the flow of magic around you. Calm down, you can. ”

Tian Yu tried to calm down: "I can hear my own heartbeat, and yours. ”

"Yes, just feel it all."

"I could hear our breathing, and the sound of air flowing in my ears." Tianyu felt that his world was slowly brightening up, "Like, there is light." ”

"That's right, that's your magic, can you see it?" Red Ying encouraged Tianyu.

The corners of Tianyu's mouth turned up slightly: "Although I am a little unaccustomed, I see it." It's so big here! Where would the cave wizard be? ”

Hongying gradually let go of the hand holding Tianyu, but Tianyu grabbed herself violently: "Hongying, don't let go yet, I'm a little scared." ”

Hongying licked her lips: "You coward, it's okay, can't you see me?" ”

"You can see it, but you won't be so scared when you pull it." Tian Yu's voice trembled a little.

Hongying took Tianyu to the depths of the Demon Cave, but it seemed that she had not felt the magic of the Demon Cave Wizard until now. Hongying was a little impatient: "Cave wizard! You're not there! Cave Wizard! ”

Hongying's voice echoed through the demon cave over and over again.

Tian Yu sighed: "Hongying, do you think the Demon Cave Wizard will not be here?" ”

"Do you think she's going to go out?"

"She's supposed to be hungry too, right?" Tian Yu looked at the demon caves that were empty around him.

"Possibly." Hongying lowered her head, "If she were a human being, she would still need to eat." ”

"Could she not be human anymore?" Tian Yu scared himself.

Hongying almost visited the entire Demon Cave, but did not find the Cave Wizard: "She should be here, are we waiting for her here, or are we going out to wait for her?" ”

"Let's go out and wait for her. It's scary here. ”

"Look at what scares you, in the end the person is not there. Ha ha. ”

When Hongying and Tianyu were about to return in place, another voice appeared in the demon cave.

"It's so rare today, there are guests visiting the Demon Cave."

The voice sounds young and seductive.
