Chapter 60: The Pentagram
Liu Ci has not yet figured out the mystery of the ancient tower girl.
Beyond the forest, the cooing bird does look like a madman.
In front of a large number of younger brothers, the cooing bird hit the tree with its head, and several ancient trees were harmed by it. The high-level demonic beasts in this area did not dare to arrest the murderer, so they had to let the cooing bird make trouble in the mountains and forests.
Gugu is very irritable now, Liu Ci has been missing for two days and two nights, and this fool in front of him will only mechanically answer "I don't know", and if he doesn't know anything, he will simply hand over this territory.
Birds and monsters hovered over the swamp, scaring some of the adventurers who could see the vision.
They panicked and avoided it, suspecting that perhaps a powerful demonic beast was about to be born.
There are a large number of demonic beasts, and no one dares to come forward to investigate, although it is painful to miss the magic treasure, small lives are more important, isn't it? Not only did no one dare to step forward, but because of the huge momentum under the command of the cooing bird, the adventurers turned several hills around the swamp into a forbidden area: they will not come to this place if they enter the mountains and die in the future!
The demonic beasts in the nearby mountains were harassed by the cooing birds, and the Moloch Mountains were not the only place where the demonic beasts could not step in, and the problem now was that Liu Ci had fallen into it.
Do you want to inform the Silver Wolf King?
The cooing bird thought about it for two days, Liu Ci disappeared under its nose and was too embarrassed, plus the silver wolf king was not in the crystal ore at this time, and when he found the silver wolf king, poor Liu Ci didn't know if there was still a life.
Gollum really wants to solve it on its own, it is better to completely erase the whole thing, and the birds and monsters that came to help were strictly ordered by it not to divulge the weirdness of the swamp, and when it learned who leaked the news behind it, it immediately burned to death.
On the morning of the third day, the dejected cooing bird was not even in the mood to hit the tree.
That night, I was obviously bounced back by an invisible wall, and after two days of searching, I didn't find anything.
Near the swamp, the little brothers were turned upside down by the cooing birds, not to mention the "wall" that night, even the swamp that Liu Ci had drawn with a wooden plank turned back into a reed.
Water fowl and wild ducks, rippling reeds, and cooing as birds and monsters, of course, can see that those frightened waterfowl are not fantasy.
A completely different sight that only space magic can do.
Gugu is very depressed, space magic really depends on talent, and the old monsters have their own attributes, they will be will, they will not be not, and they can't fake it at all.
How can it help Liu Ci?
Goo was half-crazy, there was no other way, and finally chose to wait.
On the third night, the night grew thicker, and the dew condensed under the reed leaves. The cooing bird, which had not closed its eyes for three days, could not sleep at ease, its eyes were red, and its wings seemed to have flames coming out at any time.
Devouring the bright reeds on the other side, Liu Ci walked out of the darkness and ran towards the cooing bird.
It has the urge to burst into tears, and also wants to fan Liu Ci to death with one wing.
Liu Ci ran to it, but said: There is no longer a need for it and the escort of the monsters, and she decided to go out of the mountain by herself.
The cooing bird screamed and asked:
"You don't say where you run out in three days, you have to go out of the mountain by yourself, Liu Ci, do you think you are very powerful, what kind of monster is not afraid?!"
Liu Ci just laughed, this stupid bird obviously cares about her, why is she so angry.
She leaned closer to Gollum and whispered in her ear, Gollum's eyes doubled, "What you said is true?" ”
Liu Ci nodded, "You think I'm joking with my own life?" It's true, don't worry about me. ”
Liu Ci is a very assertive person, the Silver Wolf King can't do anything about her, and the Coo Bird doesn't feel that his face is bigger than that of the Silver Wolf. Liu Ci repeatedly insisted on going out of the mountain by himself, and the cooing bird was very disappointed with the food that he had eaten less along the way.
Liu Ci pinched its face, "Tsk, you and the wolf god can come and see me." ”
The coo-cuckoo rolled her eyes and went to look at her, to put it mildly, in a city where there were as many people as ants, she was killed hundreds of times by the swordsmen and magicians who rushed up before they could find her.
Seeing Liu Ci leave with her skirt, the cooing bird looking at her back instantly experienced the mood of the silver wolf: decisively a white-eyed wolf who has no heart and lungs and can't be raised.
………………
Turning around to leave the sight of the cooing bird, the smile on Liu Ci's face disappeared immediately.
Heartless, she rarely had a trace of gloom in her eyes.
During the three days that the coo-cru bird led his little brother through the swamp, Liu Ci was not idle. Due to Rachel's ignorance of the world, she spent a day breaking into the inside of the Mage Tower. Before the next day was over, she already knew that Rachel was an "ageless girl" whose physical development had stopped at the age of twelve.
Rachel hasn't grown since she was placed in the Mage Tower.
In fact, she is eighteen years old this year. But whether it is physical or psychological, she stays in a state of twelve-year-old when she is far away from the crowd.
According to Rachel, she is not very talented in magic, and she has to learn magic twice as much in order to survive. Fortunately, she was very interested in boring magical knowledge, otherwise Liu Ci really couldn't imagine how Rachel survived alone. Sometimes it's not the food and the environment that make people unable to live, but the torture of "loneliness".
Liu Ci was already in her twenties before she crossed over, and she had to be glad to have a silver wolf with her in the past few days before she became psychologically distorted. When Rachel lived alone in the Mage Tower, she was really twelve years old, and no one spoke to her, so she buried herself in magic books and read hard, but her temperament became cold and she was already a resolute girl.
Rachel is so lonely.
So when she saw the four of Lydia trapped, she couldn't help but save them.
However, following her parents' instructions, Rachel did not dare to let people know about the existence of the Mage Tower, so Lydia and the four of them fell unconscious after entering the forest.
Liu Ci, who is also black-haired and black-eyed, can enter the realm of the Mage Tower on her own, and Rachel feels that she can be trusted, so Liu Ci becomes the object of the little girl's confiding.
Rachel's full name is "Rachel Cappado Lorenz", and as Liu Ci guessed, she was born into a noble family of the Spurs Empire.
Twelve-year-old Rachel did not understand the hierarchy of the nobility, and remembers living in the castle with her parents, and the large manor around it belonged to her. The strength of the Lorenz family lies in the fact that it is a magical family, and Rachel's parents are both archmages certified by the Magic Society.
Although there are magisters and sages above the great magicians, in fact, there are only one of the three empires that can advance to the "magister" mages in their lifetimes, and the great magicians are already powerful existences that people can access, not to mention that Rachel's parents are very young compared to the same strength level.
If nothing happens, Rachel will follow in her father's footsteps, enter a magic school, and study magic without distractions with the financial support of the Lorenz family.
Twelve-year-old Rachel hadn't yet had time to start school, and her parents suddenly became busy, and they hadn't been seen all summer.
When Rachel's parents reappeared, it was late at night in the late summer, and her mother, who was badly injured, hurriedly picked her up and left the house. The five-colored ring of the Lorenz family, the precious mage tower, and the mother placed Rachel in the depths of the Moroch Mountains, the most dangerous and safe Warcraft forest.
"Rachel, to learn magic hard, you must become strong. Don't go back to the Lorentz family, don't let you see what you see, my poor child...... Let's live well, okay? ”
Young Rachel didn't understand what was happening, and Mrs. Lorenz left and never returned.
She put on the five-colored ring and took over the mage tower that had existed for an unknown number of years.
Six years later, Rachel's appearance is forever stuck in the summer of twelve.
She became more and more silent, and there was a lingering sense of trepidation even in the mage tower. She began to wear a hood all day long, hiding herself in the shadow of her mage's robes.
This is the Rachel that Liu Ci saw: under the surface of indifference and hard work, her heart is like a panicked and timid deer.
The time is too coincidental, and Liu Ci can almost determine that this is another innocent girl who was implicated by the "magic star" in the mouth of the Holy See.
The Holy See's influence spreads across the entire continent except for the Moroch Mountains, so both Vivian and Rachel's families chose to send them to the Moroch Mountains.
Warcraft eats people, and the Holy See is more terrible than Warcraft.
Vivian was killed by a single blow, but Rachel survived the protection of the Mage Tower.
Liu Ci decided to avoid the Holy See from the beginning, and she was silent for most of the day when she learned of Rachel's experience.
"This may have been done by the Holy See, Rachel, your parents are right, you have to protect yourself."
Liu Ci didn't have the strength to take on anything now, and she couldn't solve Rachel's problem, so she had to choose to leave. Hearing that she was leaving, Rachel was very reluctant and struggling, and finally decided to go out of the mountain with Liu Ci.
Liu Ci felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"Liu Ci, the person they were looking for six years ago was eleven or twelve years old, and after six years, everyone has grown up, and I haven't grown up, so I will be safe."
Although Rachel's emotional intelligence is not high, she is not a fool in terms of IQ, and her reasons can't even be refuted by Liu Ci for a while.
The girl lowered her head, "I want to go home and see." ”
Liu Ci's heart softened.
Rachel, who has black hair and black eyes, makes her feel very relatable, Liu Ci's own home is on the earth of no return, and Rachel's home is in Spurs. They were all away from home, and she couldn't afford to go back, but Rachel could.
"Really just looking?" Liu Ci hesitated.
Rachel nodded, and after seeing Liu Ci's agreement, the corners of the girl's lips rose again.
After meeting Liu Ci, she smiled more than she had in six years combined, and the girl dragged Liu Ci to the basement of the Mage Tower.
The pentagram pattern is quaint and old, and Rachel points to the ground and swears: "Let's leave from here." ”
…………
After explaining to the coo, Liu Ci and Rachel go to the basement again, and of course, the four Lydia who have been in a coma.
Throwing the unconscious four people into the center of the pentagram, Rachel and Liu Ci also stood up.
The girl raised her left hand, and the five-colored ring shone brightly on her fingertips.
The top is earth, the upper right is water, the lower right is fire, the left is gold, and the upper left is wood. The different magical elements wandering among the pentagram stretched out in a line, and when the light was extinguished, Liu Ci and the others standing in the center had already disappeared.
The roses outside the mage's tower are quietly blooming, hidden in the forest, and the ancient tower stands tall, waiting for the master to return one day.
