Chapter 20: The Great Alchemist
There are two ancient buildings in the Auss Academy, one is the Magic Tower and the other is the Tarot Book Castle, if the former is a symbol of the splendor of magic, then the latter is a treasure deposited by magic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This mysterious book castle, hidden in the dark swamp at the westernmost end of the Osian Imperial Academy, it is recorded that before the construction of the Osian Imperial Academy, the Tarotman Book Fort already existed, for hundreds of years, there are countless human magic books and ancient books of civilization, guarded by the Imperial Dragon Pattern Wizard and the three Magic Eye monitor lizards, it is a place where no one can enter except for high-level magicians.
The dark swamp under the moonlight, the dead trees are standing, a few strange birds are croaking in the forest, and the puddles of depressions on the ground are bubbling with green bubbles, which is a little terrifying in the weirdness......
The magician on duty, bored lying on the back of the magic eye monitor lizard...... There was a small sound in the distance, as if a dark shadow was flickering in the forest......
"Rhy, go over and take a look. The sorcerer said sleepily.
The magic eye monitor lizard, which was lying on the side, slowly stood up, shook its ten-meter-long body, and slowly walked towards the forest.
Its name is Rees, as a magical beast that has lived for a hundred years, it is not unusual to have a name, it knows that with its own strength, it can discourage many humans, but Rees is never proud, because it is only a magical beast, and it can only be guarded in this swamp forever.
Rhys flicked his stout tail and walked carelessly through the cobweb-strewn woods, when suddenly, he saw a pair of armor, buried in the dirt, dirty as if it had been abandoned for a long time, and Rhys stepped forward and sniffed it...... Well, there was no smell of humanity, but a breath of death, and Rhys turned his head in disgust.
It must have been some human throwing in the garbage, and Rees, who was not surprised, turned to walk back.
Just as it turned around, it suddenly felt a dark shadow move behind it, and Rhys looked back sharply...... No one...... Is it an illusion?...... No! Rhys noticed that the armor on the ground seemed to have changed positions, and it was still on the left just now, so why did Rhys run to the right now? Rees believed in his memory, and he walked over alertly.
Rhys sniffed several times, but there was still no human smell at all, dead and silent, Rhys did not give up, stretched out his tongue stained with acid and licked it on the armor, but there was no response...... It must be that he is old and his eyes are not good...... Rhys shook her head in frustration and left the woods......
It wasn't until the monoculus monitor lizard completely disappeared that Lucy finally stood up again, looked carefully to the left and right, and after making sure it was safe, he tiptoed towards the depths of the swamp......
The dead wood in front of him became thinner and thinner, and in the blink of an eye, a huge castle appeared in front of Lucy's eyes.
The surface of the gray castle is covered with thorns and roses, antique, standing quietly in the night, as if echoing with the dark environment, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.
Lucy walked to the gate of the castle and, out of politeness, knocked lightly......
...... There was no movement.
Lucy pushed open the door and strode in, and the hall of the castle was pitch black, as if by some kind of magic, and only two long staircases with candles could be seen, spiraling upwards and seemingly leading to the top of the castle.
Lucy walked up the stairs, and after a while, he saw a door at the bend of the stairs, a door suspended in the dark, and a dilapidated wooden sign hanging above the door, Fire Department High Order.
Looking cool, Lucy is not a picky eater and just pushes the door in.
It was an empty library, filled with countless tall bookshelves, a row of burning candles hanging on the walls, the faint light of the fire barely illuminated the surroundings, Lucy walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a random book, "Fire Ninth Order: Fire God's Breath".
The tall name, it looks good, Lucy opened the book thoughtfully, the beginning of the book is very long, first introduced the magician who created this magic, and then introduced the power of this magic, Lucy how could he waste time, directly turned to the last page of the spell analysis, the unfamiliar spell made Lucy's eyes light up, and silently memorized.
At this moment, a petite figure appeared in the darkness, standing faintly behind Luci.
"I'm a ghost!" a silver bell-like voice rang in Lucy's ears.
Lucy turned around and saw a petite and cute girl standing behind her, wearing a white tight half-sleeve on top, ripped jeans underneath, blonde hair tied at the end, a single glass hanging on her delicate face, sticking out her tongue and making a grimace.
"Ah...... I'm so scared. ”
Lucy was not frightened, but felt funny, raised his hands, and his clumsy acting skills were not exaggerated.
"Good fake ......"
“......”
The girl crossed her hands on her waist and said with a serious face: "Hey, how did you get in, this is not a place that can be come casually, before I scream loudly, you can run quickly." ”
Lucy turned his head and continued to look at the magic book in his hand, and said indifferently: "Call it, it's useless to cut your throat, I'm a magician." ”
The girl's expression froze, and then she smiled and said: "Don't pretend, your armor, no matter how you look at it, you are a warrior, I am just scaring you, in fact, I also sneaked in." ”
Lucy didn't say anything more, preoccupied with reciting the spell.
The girl blinked her eyes and said playfully: "Don't worry, I won't say it, and you have to keep it secret for me......"
“...... All right...... But I'm really a magician. ”
"Yes, yes, I know, introduce myself, my name is Albus Weier, an alchemist destined to go down in great history, make a friend, Mr. Magician. ”
"Luci, the road of the big road, the west of the watermelon, it's an honor to meet you, Miss Alchemist. ”
Lucy closed the magic book in his hand, inserted it back on the shelf, and said curiously, "Miss Wei'er, are you also here to study magic?"
Albus Weill pursed her lips proudly and said, "Hmph, I'm here to find the remains of the great alchemist Peel, please don't get me wrong, this is just a great alchemist's appreciation of another great alchemist, and it is not to steal his work." ”
"Uh...... It's amazing......"
Lucy didn't know what to expect, he reached out and pulled out another magic book, and looked at it patiently.
Albus Weier walked around Lucie with dexterous steps, and said with a slight frown: "Hmm, it stinks...... It's the acid of the Monocculus monitor lizard......"
"When I came in, I was accidentally kissed by the dragon-eyed lizard...... It can't be helped, maybe the monster likes me......" Lucy said.
Albus Weier suddenly smiled happily and said, "Hahaha...... I actually sneaked in through the main entrance...... What a brave guy, hahaha......"
Lucy continued to look at the magic book in his hand disapprovingly.
"Hey, Lucy, there are so many magic books here like stars in the sky, how can you learn them......" Looking at the other party's attentive appearance, Albus Weier held her chin cutely and said.
"Then come a few more times, there will always be a time to finish. Lucy said without thinking.
Albus Weier's eyes flickered, pinched his nose, and said in a strange tone: "That is to say, every time I come in in the future, I will be bathed in saliva by the magic eye monitor lizard, it is stinky, sticky, and disgusting......"
Lucy shuddered and suddenly raised his head...... When you think about it, it's disgusting......
What an easy guy to take the bait, Albus Weier snickered in his heart, and said in a seductive tone: "If you are willing to help me find the relics of the great alchemist Peel, I can let you come in and play easily......"
"Really...... Really?" Lucy was impressed.
Albus Weier reached out and patted her undeveloped flat chest, and said proudly, "Believe me, great alchemists don't lie. ”
Lucy lowered his head and calculated, and took out part of his time in exchange for the right to enter and exit here freely, which seemed to be not bad, but what is this Peel's ruins, Luci said confusedly: "Is the ruins you said a book?"
"It should ...... Right...... It's a great, powerful thing anyway......" Albus Vill described vaguely, as if he couldn't touch the edge.
"Okay, I'll take the job. Lucy said happily.
"Then it's a happy decision, let's get to work!" said Albus Weil, clapping his hands happily.
"Ah...... Is this going to begin?!"
"Of course, my friend, time is money, efficiency is life, this is the wise saying of the alchemist......"
