Chapter 5: The Dark Has Nothing to Do

"It's rare, haven't you always thought that I had nothing to do with the dark world, Professor Magellan?"

The countess's words made Magellan even more certain of his suspicions: the countess knew all too well what had happened last night, and had a great deal to do with it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The dragon people who claim to be the Mo family, can you be trusted?"

Generally speaking, the inhabitants of this continent, including the Bretanians, will refer to the black-haired and black-eyed alien race as the Dragons, meaning that they are from the Land of Dragons, but not all Dragons are like this, and the difference between them is on their faces, but few people can notice it.

And at all times, Magellan was a very small minority.

The old man who had met him last night, despite his gray hair, was undoubtedly a true alien from the Land of Dragons.

"He was one of my teachers, who taught me the basic principles of philosophy and scholarship, and is still one of the people I respect the most. ”

"If he is a disciple of the Mo family...... Then this is not surprising. ”

"Look. ”

The countess suddenly took out a small dressing mirror and placed it in front of Magellan's eyes.

"What?"

"The expression you show when you mention the word Mohist. The countess smiled and put a small piece of cake to her lips, "I don't think it's to be missed." ”

Magellan smiled helplessly and turned his face to look at the bright flowers in the garden.

"He did mention the word in front of me once, but never told me what it was. ”

"A philosophical idea, and the people who come together to adhere to it, have a tight organization and discipline, and a clear goal. But there is no doubt that this branch that came to Brittania has long since declined. ”

"If you have seen the underground kingdoms of the northern dwarves, then you can understand that the so-called dark world can only be the kind of small circle that is isolated from each other, and if you don't go through the light world, they will never intersect with each other. But in the midst of these settlements, there will always be cities born, with great power, hidden in the darkness, and making the darkness deeper. ”

The countess was silent for a moment, giving Magellan a moment to understand what she meant.

"So, there's a dark city underneath this city?"

"No, the city itself is a city of darkness. ”

The countess was pleased with the expression on Magellan's face now, one point surprised, three points confused, six points focused, and that was exactly what she liked to see.

"I thought ......"

"People who live in cities certainly feel that cities are divided into many pieces. The countess gracefully picked up the cup and breathed softly the aroma of black tea, "The center of the entire Breton underworld is this city. ”

"So now, is the dark world about to collapse?"

"The collapse of the dark world never stops," said the countess, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "I don't think anyone will come to you for this reason. ”

"By the way, you haven't told me what my teacher said to you last night. ”

"The legacy of the Mohists, strictly speaking, the legacy of the Mohist branch of Brittana, a nautical chart. ”

"If so, I don't think you should have had a chance to meet my teacher. The countess continued to elegantly divide the cake and put the portion she wanted in her mouth, "But I remember that he once told me that the Mohists believed that people with special talents should receive a targeted education, and that was why he became my teacher. ”

"You mean?" it was a very obscure hint, but the tacit understanding between Magellan and the countess was enough for him to understand what Helen meant, "He wants to be my teacher?"

It sounds like a joke.

"If a newborn born born with pure white hair appears in the fox tribe of Arafa, they will let this lucky one of the strangers learn the mysterious wisdom from the high priest. The countess waved her hand slightly, and a transparent barrier rose in the garden, and then raindrops began to fall on it, "The intelligent races of the mortal world are like this, and there is even a secret school of magic in history that has been waiting for what they consider to be the Child of Destiny, and as long as this lucky one appears, they will be loyal to it." This is nothing more than an acknowledgment and exploitation of reality. ”

The sound of raindrops falling on the crystals intensified, and the sky was full of clouds, but the flowers were blooming in the garden. Surrounding these flowers and plants are patchwork of transparent crystals, supported by slender magical metal, elegant and clear, like a beautiful crystal palace in a fairy tale.

Magellan looked up and watched the water streaks flow down the crystal, feeling like a small fish hiding underwater in the rain and looking up at the sky.

"You still haven't told me that the dark world is collapsing?"

"Yes," said the countess, still enjoying her breakfast unhurriedly, and though it was starting to get cold outside, the garden was still the same, "the explorer changed the whole world, just as the king of the world has always done, quickly and thoroughly. ”

"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. ”

"Maybe, maybe not. The countess raised her head with a smile and looked at the flowing water marks on the crystal curtain, "What has become of the world, and what does it have to do with an ordinary person......

Magellan stood on the grass, raised his head, and felt the world, the city.

It may have been a delusion, but he did feel a pressure that was approaching, and everyone in the city could feel that something huge, radical change was coming, like a cumulonimbus cloud spreading from the horizon, silent, but obscuring the entire sky.

"What am I going to do if I want to stop the crash?"

"Ah, the great saint Magellan, who lived a pure and immaculate life, who sacrificed himself, who had saved a city by the power of one man, who had said that man should always save himself, and in the end, died of inadequacy. ”

"Hunter, what's the relationship with that Mo family teacher of yours?"

"What do you think?"

The countess knew that Magellan herself had already speculated.

"I've found that the special tricks that hunters use to confirm their identities are more skillful and skillful with your teacher. ”

"He never mentioned it, and," the countess knew what Magellan really wanted to ask, "I don't have as close a relationship with the Hunter as you might think, and strictly speaking, not at all. ”

"So, are you ready to watch the city collapse?"

"The collapse of the dark world does not affect the light world......" the countess turned her face to look at the grass outside the crystal curtain, "or rather, not so fast." ”

"I'm not interested in the collapse of the dark world," Magellan turned to the countess with a smile, "at least for now, I have more important things. ”
