Chapter 8: Departure and Dreams
With the cessation of the storm, as if the communication had already been made, the giant eagle had arrived in front of Ke Zhou almost instantly. Ke Zhou saw the woman running not far away, and seemed to understand something, and quickly ran behind Xiao Liu along the wings of the giant eagle. Immediately afterward, the giant eagle spread its wings and galloped out of the hall and left the place.
Maybe the sound of the wind was too loud for Ke Zhou to speak, or maybe the giant eagle was too fast for people to think about anything else. Along the way, Ke Zhou didn't ask anything, and Xiao Liu didn't say anything. Similarly, Xiao Liu should have heard the conversation in the storm, he didn't say whether Ke Zhou did it right or not, and Ke Zhou didn't take the initiative to ask.
As if there was an inexplicable tacit understanding, Ke Zhou knew that Xiao Liu had met some old people, and they were also some old people who needed to use the hidden name "Xiao Sheng". Is Xiao Liu his real name, or is Xiao Sheng his real name? Since he is already a well-known researcher of magic theory, the other party should also know this, why did he show a surprised expression after seeing Xiao Liu?
Ke Zhou didn't ask in the end, after all, everyone has a lot of things that they will never want to mention, including Ke Zhou himself, there are also many pasts that he is unwilling to mention no matter what. The giant eagle landed at the door of the villa, Ke Zhou followed Xiao Liu and slowly walked down the giant eagle, and the two slowly walked into the house one after the other. The giant eagle seemed to be able to understand Xiao Liu's mood at the moment, and disappeared in place without saying a word.
Walking through the corridor and coming to the living room, Xiao Liu did not stop at all, and slowly walked upstairs with Ke Zhou.
"You're pretending?"
Xiao Liu originally had a slight humor and off-line voice, but at this moment, there was an indescribable heaviness. Maybe it's really something terrible, or maybe it's some regret in life. Ke Zhou didn't understand what kind of mood this was, and he didn't even know how to comfort him, so he could only answer truthfully.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't know how to scare them away. ”
Ke Zhou tried his best to express his situation and strategy in the briefest words. After Xiao Liu listened, he paused and thought for a while, and then continued to walk up with Ke Zhou. Soon, the two of them came to a place similar to a guest room, Xiao Liu pushed open the door, and it was a very neat and refreshing room. Xiao Liu knocked lightly on the door, "This will be your room in the future, there is a small card on the table, there are some credit points in it, you can understand it as a coin for purchase, can you understand what I mean?"
Ke Zhou nodded, it is estimated that this thing is a credit card or something like their side. Although I don't know what the principle is in this magical world, I will pursue these things now and learn how to run before I learned to walk.
"You can consult the laboratory and all the books on the third floor at will, and if you want to use the things on the fourth floor, as long as you are not in a hurry, you must get my consent. There's something in there that you can't fix. After Xiao Liu finished speaking, without blinking an eye, he turned his head and prepared to leave.
Ke Zhou hesitated, but asked Xiao Liu when he was about to walk into the room next to him: "Where are you going?" Ke Zhou still saw after all, this is the place where they were going to enter the teleportation before, because of Ke Zhou's special physique, they didn't use it, and Xiao Liu must go out at this time.
Xiao Liu didn't look back, just waved his hand, "Just go and solve the follow-up of the attack over there, don't worry too much." As he spoke, he entered the room, and at the same time, a strong sense of fluctuation came, and he thought that he should have left the house.
Ke Zhou didn't care too much, and walked straight into his room, he felt that his body was extremely heavy, as if he had just finished running with weights, and he couldn't move at all. Whether it was the mental stress of the previous confrontation or the physical impact of magic on his body, these all made him tired. Finally he couldn't maintain his consciousness anymore and collapsed on the bed.
......
Empty, barren, parched, yet vast.
When Ke Zhou opened his eyes, he seemed to be standing on an unprecedentedly open and huge land, surrounded by endless but extremely desolate. One by one, the formations he had seen during the day floated like a marquee, or rather carved into the space around him, and he could even see a small black figure with a whole body like a matchstick constantly writhing on a black magic circle.
It was not difficult to recognize that the formation was from the previous hall, maintaining the curse formation of the storm. It's just a one-sided relationship, but it is so realistically shown in this place, and in the same way, the actions made by the little man at the stickman's glance are also the actions made by the mage who was in the storm before to guide the storm.
What is this place?
Ke Zhou was a little confused all of a sudden, he didn't know why these things that had a relationship with each other were recorded in this strange space, even the liquid that Ke Zhou gave him was scattered in the air, and the liquid actually reflected their material composition under the refraction of the passive light in the sky. The variety of leaves, flowers, and parts of some animals, although not a single one is recognized, is surprising enough.
The formation danced around Ke Zhou like scattered flowers, whether it was seen on the parchment scroll before, or glanced at it in a book, or what it was actually seen. They were like spirits, flying and scattering, waiting for Ke Zhou's review.
Ke Zhou reached out to touch them, but his fingers passed through them. Almost at the same time, everything around him began to become illusory, and the entire space began to shrink violently, and by the time Ke Zhou came back to his senses, he was already lying on his bed.
"Thinking Palace, although it has been built before, there will be no such strange thing. ”
Ke Zhou did not panic or nervous at all, in order to prevent the human body from quickly forgetting the dream, he immediately recalled everything he thought was used in the "dream", and at the same time did his best to make a deduction about the content. This is also his habit of thinking, to stay calm and keep thinking. As long as you don't stop thinking, there will always be a way out.
The memories in the dream are not erased quickly, and it is clear that this is not just a simple dream. Countless conjectures are built in the brain, and one by one they are rejected, and it seems that there is no known knowledge that can solve the current problem. Ke Zhou shook his head, and finally put this matter down for the time being. He thought that Xiao Liu might have some solution, so he opened the door and walked out.
"Go out today to run errands, come back later, don't wait. ”
The moment he went out, a voice appeared beside Ke Zhou. It seems that Xiao Liu still has to solve yesterday's matter today, after all, a place like the palace has been attacked, and it is indeed unpredictable. Xiao Liu is not there, so it means that Ke Zhou has no way to get information about dreams directly through Xiao Liu, he can only slowly push open Xiao Liu's huge library and slowly study it from the first one.
