Chapter 59: Agrippa
The magician remained silent about the Heart of the Sea. It seems that he is sure that Baili Lin will not dare to kill him, because he is still useful. If you explain the matter clearly, not only will you lose your life, but also the secret of the demise of the entire magic village.
Baili Lin said to Dugu Xue: "It seems that we saved the wrong person, he doesn't know anything." β
Dugu Xue replied with interest: "Pavilion Master, yes." It must be a mistake by the subordinates, and the subordinates want to ask the cabinet master to give the subordinates a chance to make up for their mistakes. β
Baili Lin thought for a while and replied: "Then tie him up and throw him into the 'Ten Thousand Snake Cave' to feed the snake." The snakes there haven't been fed human flesh for a long time. Remember to gag his mouth, but don't let him bite his tongue and kill himself if he can't stand it. β
"Okay!" Dugu Xue replied that she was escorting the magician to prepare to go to the 'Ten Thousand Snakes Cave'.
As soon as the magician heard the snake, his face was already wrong, and now he saw that he was about to be thrown to feed the snake. The whole person was trembling with fear.
"I didn't expect a dignified magician to be afraid of snakes." Baili Lin said.
It was said that it was a good thing to be told in this way, and the magician felt that it was really bad to be seen through. Mustering up the courage to go back: "Who said I was afraid of snakes? I won't be afraid of these little snakes, I'm a magician, and I can turn these snakes into a little grass in minutes! β
Seeing that the magician was so hard-mouthed, Dugu Xue pushed him with her hand and said, "Magician, let's go!" β
The magician flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Just go, don't push me, I'll go myself!" β
After a while, Duguxue took the magician to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, only to see those poisonous snakes lying densely in the cage, and there were piles of white bones lying in the cage, which seemed to be human bones, and the history was a long time. The vipers only heard them coming, and the serpents crawled over and gathered around the cage, spitting out snake hyacinths and a look of hunger and thirst in their eyes. Seeing this, the magician's hands and feet shook unconsciously.
Seeing that the magician was fixed there, Baili Lin knew that his heart was full of fear, he glanced at Dugu Xue, and Dugu Xue gently pushed behind the magician.
"Ah!! Yes!! Don't eat me!! The magician was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he slumped on the ground.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the corners of Baili Lone's mouth rose and said, "Who said just now that you are not afraid of snakes?" While it's true that you're a magician, you magicians also have the weaknesses of a magician. β
"You... Who exactly? How do you know? The magician looked horrified. In the eyes of everyone, the magician's is a mysterious family, they have immeasurable magical power, but they also have a weakness, that is, the legend of the ancestor of the magician offended the snake god, so the snake god put a curse on the magician's descendants, no matter how powerful the magician, whenever they encounter a snake, their power will be weakened.
Baili Lin sneered: "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that your life is saved by me, I can either save you or kill you." Only by cooperating with me obediently can you keep your mage's bloodline from disappearing. β
The magician's last psychological defense line was broken through by Baili Lone, and the magician sat for a long time before he spoke: "Say, what do you want to know?" β
Baili Lin took out the 'Heart of the Ocean' from his arms and asked, "Is this the 'Heart of the Ocean', right?" I would like to know where it came from. β
The magician glanced at the familiar necklace and replied, "My name is Agrippa, and since you know that this necklace is called 'Heart of the Sea', then you are not from here, are you?" Agrippa's eyes swept Dugu Xue next to him, and Baili Lin said, "You retreat first." Dugu Xue raised her head, glanced at Agrippa incredulously, and thought: What did he want to say, why did the pavilion master suddenly take himself away when he heard that he was not from here? Although Dugu Xue was unwilling and wanted to stay, the pavilion master's order could not be disobeyed, and he did not forget to glare at Agrippa before leaving.
Baili Silence lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know that I'm not from here?" β
Agrippa said proudly: "Since you know that I am a magician, the magic power of the magician is boundless, and of course the affairs of this world are in my hands. Suddenly, he lowered his head again and said sadly: "Otherwise, our magic village would not have been slaughtered." β
Bai Li Lin comforted: "The matter is over, the only thing you can do is to protect yourself and the surviving magicians." You know I'm not from here, and aren't you? β
Agrippa replied, "Everyone knows that our magicians have special magical powers and the ability to predict the future, but the world doesn't know that there is actually a magician in the magic village who has the ability to travel through the past and the future. And this magician is my grandfather, and my father inherited my grandfather's magic, and I inherited my father's abilities. So I was able to travel through the past and the future, and this 'Heart of the Ocean' was what I got by crossing into the future by chance. Since you know it's called 'Heart of the Ocean', then you must be from the future, and you must know its story, which is the legendary Omoo Stone. β
Hearing the word future, Baili Lone's eyes flashed, and his tone revealed eagerness: "You can travel through the future?" So tell me how I can travel back into the future? β
Agrippa sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth, in fact, although my father has the intention to teach me the art of traversal, I have never had the intention of learning, so all I have learned is fragmented magic. That crossing was also the time I inadvertently opened the door to the future, so I crossed into the future. When I was still drinking afternoon tea at the Champs-ElysΓ©es in Paris, France, a force suddenly pulled me back to ancient times, and it is estimated that the force was that your magnetic field collided with mine, so it produced a magic force to bring us back together. If you ask me how I can go back to the future, I don't know. β
"You! Didn't your father leave you a single book book? And is this 'Heart of the Ocean' real? "Baili listened to Agrippa's words, and his tone was urgent and angry, after all, the rumors of the 'Heart of the Sea' were terrifying.
Agrippa smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just a fake 'Heart of the Ocean' I bought at a jewelry store, this is not a diamond, it's a santan stone."
When Baili Lin heard this, he took a serious look at the 'Heart of the Ocean' in his hand, and sure enough, they were careless, they just focused on the shape of the stone, ignoring the stone itself. Listening to Agrippa's affirmative answer, Baili Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Agrippa thought for a moment, then tapped his head and said, "I remember, my father once said: if one day you really want to use the art of traversal, go to the forbidden place of the magic village, there will be what you want."
The flame of hope ignited again in Baili Lone's disappointed eyes, and he looked at Agrippa and said, "Where is the forbidden place in the magic village?" Let's go today! β
Agrippa sat down abruptly and said listlessly, "How do I get out?" I was originally a criminal in the imperial court, and now I have escaped from prison, and now I must be wanted by the whole city. β
"It is estimated that the criminal who replaced you is already on the Yellow Springs Road, and the magician Agrippa has died on the guillotine in the Hibiscus Kingdom, Agrippa, I have already returned your freedom, I don't know if you are willing to submit to my 'Xuanling Pavilion'?" If you don't want to, I won't force it. β
'Halling'! It turns out that this is the famous 'Xuanling Pavilion' in the rivers and lakes, which many people dream of. 'Ten Thousand Snakes'? 'Halling'! Agrippa patted his forehead vigorously with his hand, he must have been too nervous just now to pay attention to the fact that only Xuanling Pavilion had Ten Thousand Snake Caves.
Agrippa's voice trembled with excitement, "You are the Pavilion Master?" Baili Lin frowned: "Not like it?"
"It's like it, it's like it! I never dreamed that one day I would be able to talk to you so close and face-to-face. You are my idol! I'd love to join, no! It's Guishun Xuanling Pavilion! Agrippa's voice was cheerful.
Baili Lin seemed to be very satisfied with Agrippa's performance, nodded and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be a member of our Xuanling Pavilion." Agrippa nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and quickly said yes.
Baili Lin sent someone to the palace to inform Yu Wei, Yu Wei said to Linlang after receiving the news: "I have something to go out, the prince has been busy with political affairs recently, and rarely goes back to the house, if the prince comes back to ask, he will say that I will go out to buy something." Linlang nodded and replied, "No!" Yuwei put on a civilian dress and sat in the carriage arranged by Baili Lone.
Led by Agrippa, the carriage took a shortcut through the mountains and soon reached the Enchanted Village. Unlike what I imagined, this place is not like a fairyland, but like a place that has been abandoned for a long time, full of devastation, dilapidated houses, and it seems that no one lives here for a long time. Agrippa led them through several dilapidated houses, and finally stopped at a white house at the foot of the mountain. After five seconds of hesitation as he looked at the threshold under his feet, Agrippa pushed the door open with all his might.
The house was covered with dust and cobwebs, and although there were doubts, Ibalil's understanding of the magic village did not express the doubts in his heart. Yu Wei looked at Bai Li Li, who knew what Yu Wei wanted to ask, so she just shook her head.
"I know what you're asking, this is my former home, and no one has lived in it for many years. Because they are not in this world. Our family is an elder in the magic village, my grandfather is an elder, and my father is too, but it was passed to my father, because of the suspicion and intolerance of the superiors, our entire magic village was slaughtered. My father was also killed in this massacre, and only a few of them survived, but the magicians who survived have fled this sad place, and some of them are invisible, because they don't want any more rulers to ruin their lives. Agrippa's eyes glistened with tears but he didn't want to be seen, so he turned away and said.
Baili Lin walked over, patted Agrippa on the shoulder and said, "The deceased is gone, and the mourning is changing." From now on, Xuanling Pavilion will be your home. Agrippa wiped her tears from the back of her hand and said, "Uh-huh, Lord Xie! β
