Chapter 337: Sharp Tongue
Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday I couldn't get on the Internet at night, and it took me a long time to find out that the cat was broken, and I got up early this morning to change the cat to continue to surf the Internet......!!!
=================================================================================
Just as the magic staircase appeared in front of Tang Jie and Fiona, in Tarasya's room, a crystal ball clearly revealed the images of him and Fiona.
Aden, who turned into a golden feather eagle, laughed in a low voice: "Hey, old friend, as you expected, Fiona really came with her, and these two people are not so easy to deal with together." ”
Tarasya's eyelids drooped, and he said lightly: "This is the sky city of Talasya, a magical holy place named after me, Fiona is a magical genius, and she is just a child here." If they are willing to cooperate with me, forget it, if they don't agree, hmph, just the two of me will clean up together!"
Aden smiled: "I'll wait and see, old friend, I'll wait and see!"
......
"When the altar of magic burns with blue flames, when the divine light descends from the sky, when the colorful ladder descends from the sky, the gates of the sky city of Tarasha are opened......"
As the Leader Knight chanted in a reverent whisper, Tang Jie and Fiona slowly stepped up the wide, soft staircase of magic.
Tang Jie was quite surprised at first, he was very skeptical that people could stand on these illusory stairs with flowing brilliance, but in fact, when he stood up, the halo scattered, but the person stood firmly in place, he couldn't help but sigh, the world of magic is really amazing.
After dispelling his doubts and worries, Tang Jie looked up, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, how can this magic ladder look like it is one or two thousand meters, and the sky city is as big as a mountain, how long does it take to climb the ladder to get there?
Fiona on the side observed her words and explained in a low voice: "This is specially arranged by Talasha in order to highlight the sacred and supreme status of the Sky City, you look back. ”
Tang Jie looked back and was shocked to find that the magicians around him had already prostrate themselves, a little more devout than the most devout religious believers.
Tang Jie suddenly understood why in the world before he crossed over, whether it was Shaolin, Wudang or other sects, they had to choose to build temples and Taoist temples on a high place, and they had to build such a long staircase.
Originally, it was to tell all sentient beings that cultivation is difficult, and it requires perseverance and piety step by step, and that seeking the path is difficult, and it requires hard climbing and perseverance.
"This guy really thinks of himself as a god, what does he want to do, to be an emperor......" Tang Jie muttered to himself, he turned around and whispered to Fiona, "We will enter the Sky City in a while, in case Tarasia turns his face, there will be no way to get out, right?"
Fiona said to Tang Jie with a smile: "Why, Captain Tang Jie, who never knew fear, also began to retreat?"
Tang Jie glared at Fiona: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll be serious with you!"
Fiona rolled her eyes, "You're talking nonsense, otherwise why do you think I'm coming?"
The two men spoke as they walked up the magic staircase.
When Tang Jie stepped on the light steps and walked to a height of more than 100 meters, and then looked down, the people on the ground had become the size of ants, the houses looked like small stones connected into pieces, the strong wind in the air hunted, whining, and Fiona's robe was even more blown by the wind and the corners of her clothes were crackled, making people feel a sense of awe in the heights.
"Fiona......" Tang Jie lowered his head and looked at the ground, and asked with anxiety in his heart, "Talasia, this guy won't dissipate this magic ladder in the middle of the middle, and let us fall to death, right?"
I can't help but be afraid that Tang Jie is not worried and afraid, although he is full of divine power and is almost invincible in close combat, but if he falls from the air like this, if he does not turn into meat paste, then he is an immortal who can fly to the sky.
If Talasha really had the intention of killing him, he only needed to undo this magic ladder, and ten out of ten could smash Tang Jie to death.
Fiona looked at Tang Jie with a lot of amusement and said, "Captain Tang Jie, your current behavior is not at all like you used to be. ”
Tang Jie said angrily: "You also said that you can fly, but I can't fly!"
Fiona smiled, "I can fly with you." ”
Tang Jie said with a hippie smile: "Double fly?"
Fiona blinked and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Tang Jie waved his hand and said boringly: "Hey, I don't understand, forget it, I didn't say what I said before, let's keep going, Talasha is a magic stick, I want to see what the hell he does when we meet later!"
The two of them walked hand in hand along the magic staircase for a while, and finally came to the entrance of Sky City, an open round arched door that constantly emitted a blinding glare.
This round arched door is extremely tall and huge, at a glance, it is ten meters high, five meters wide, and there are exquisite magic stone carvings on the left and right, each statue is ten meters high, and the left side is carved with the image of the magic queen Yuna holding a magic scroll, but it is similar to the statue of Mozambique, and on the right is carved an old man holding a magic wand and riding a chariot to fight.
"Who is this guy?" Tang Jie looked at the statue of the old man and asked, "Don't tell me, this is Tarasya?"
Fiona scoffed, "Who else but him?"
Tang Jie sighed: "This guy is really narcissistic!"
Tang Jie said, stepping into the radiant magic arch, he felt that his eyes were suddenly pierced by the light around the magic gate, he subconsciously squinted his eyes, and when there was a sudden down-to-earth feeling under his feet, he opened his eyes again, and suddenly felt that the surroundings suddenly opened up.
Although when he was climbing the magic staircase just now, he was surrounded by the boundless sky, but Tang Jie had a feeling of narrowness and restraint, as if he was in a corridor, but at this time, when he entered the interior of the Sky City, he saw that the interior of this castle mountain was almost hollowed out, and there were caves and passages crisscrossing like spider webs everywhere.
This cave was so huge that Tang Jie couldn't see the end at a glance, so that at this moment Tang Jie had an illusion: just now he was actually in a small cave that could only accommodate him, but now, he was in the really vast sky!
The castle in the sky really lives up to its name!
Tang Jie stood in place with his mouth open, looking around.
Although this castle is large, there are not many people living in it, and there are few magicians walking on the various passage bridges, which is very unexpected to Tang Jie.
"Why are there so few people?" Tang Jie asked strangely, "It's completely incomparable to Mosanbik." ”
Fiona said: "Magicians like to hide in their rooms to study magic, so you can't see anyone outside, and besides, Sky City is actually equivalent to the Supreme Magic Council of Mozambique, and the magicians who can enter here are the elite of the elite, and they must all be great magicians above level eight." If there can be a few hundred people here, it would be terrifying. ”
Tang Jie nodded: "That's what you said." ”
While the two of them were talking, they saw a half-human-tall wooden doll coming over from Karakhala, and said in a quackling voice: "Honorable guest, are you here to see Lord Talasha?"
Tang Jie's eyes widened suddenly: "Talking wooden man?"
Fiona was surprised and said, "Yes, please lead the way." ”
The wooden man actually made a gentleman's courtesy, bent down, spread his hands, and said, "Please follow me, distinguished sir, ma'am." ”
Tang Jie followed behind and sighed, his eyes couldn't stop looking around, while watching this magical magic world, he secretly remembered the road in his heart.
Most of the overpass aisles inside Sky City are narrow and thin stone arch bridges, crisscrossing like capillaries in the human body, Tang Jie can only see that his eyes are dazzling, his head is swollen, and after being carried by a wooden man across a dozen bridges, he can't remember it, so he has no choice but to pretend to bend over and tie his shoes, and then use his fingers to carve a mark on the hard stone surface, and then continue to follow behind.
Tang Jie didn't know how many times he had loosened his shoelaces and tripped over him along the way, so that the magicians on the overpass looked at him strangely, and Fiona couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you, my captain!"
Tang Jie rubbed his fingers and said, "I don't know why, I always feel that my eyelids are beating hard, and this place is simply a labyrinth, how can I do it without writing down the road?"
Fiona couldn't help but laugh: "My captain, don't tell me that you were weird and weird along the way just now, just remembering the way?"
Tang Jie spread his hands: "Do you think I'm performing a burlesque?"
Fiona sighed, pointed down, and said, "My clever captain, if something really happens, won't you just jump down a skybridge?"
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, looked down and saw that many of these overpasses overlapped each other, he slapped his forehead and said with a wry smile: "You're right!"
Fiona gave him a blank look and continued to follow the wooden man leading the way.
The two men walked in a long way, and finally came to a closed bronze wooden door, and the wooden man who led the way turned back and said, "Lord Tarasya has been waiting inside for a long time, dear sir and lady, please come in!"
Tang Jie traveled all the way and found that there were no guards on this road, and the bronze wooden gate in front of him was unremarkable, he felt strange in his heart, turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think there is something strange here?"
Fiona pressed her forehead, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Jie said: "Look around here, there is not even a guard in the dignified place where Tarasha lives, don't you think it's strange, this doesn't fit his style......"
Fiona opened her lips, and was about to speak, when she heard a deep voice from inside: "Haha, that's because no one here dares to be rude and disrespectful to me! Dear Captain Tang Jie, little friend Fiona, please come in!"
As he spoke, the door opened automatically, and the wooden man on the side also left on his own.
Tang Jie and Fiona glanced at each other, and then looked inside in unison.
In front of them, it was a huge room, four or five hundred square meters, with carved bookshelves on the walls around it, and a spiral staircase next to the bookshelf to make it easy for visitors to consult the books on the shelves.
Tarasya sat in the middle of the room at a desk piled high with scrolls and books, and beside the desk stood a tall wooden shelf with a majestic golden eagle.
"You're welcome here...... "Tarasia said as she stood up from her seat, smiling.
Tang Jie and Fiona walked into the house side by side, and came to a distance of only ten steps away from Talasya, which was a very reassuring distance for Tang Jie, because if the other party had any wrongdoing, then the distance of ten steps was just a blink of an eye for him, a leap, an instant, and the other party would not have time even if it was an instantaneous magic.
"It's an honor to meet you, and it's an even more honor to be able to visit your ...... Uh, magnificent ...... Magical Sanctuary. Tang Jie said in a diplomatic tone.
A smile appeared on Tarasia's wrinkled face, and he chuckled under his breath, "Ah, what about you, little friend Fiona?"
Fiona was very disgusted by Tarasia's behavior of relying on the old and selling the old, and she said with a calm face: "It's Fiona, not Fiona's child!"
Tarasia smiled: "Aha, yes, you're right, now that Mozambique is yours, you can be on an equal footing with me." ”
Fiona said lightly: "Mozambique belongs to the Supreme Magic Council, not me. ”
Tarasya said, "Aren't you the Chief Elder? Hey, the Chief Elder has supreme command, and no one knows Mozambique's so-called committee better than I do. ”
Fiona said, "To correct it, the chief elder has temporary supreme command, not supreme command, and those who have supreme command are the emperor and dictator. ”
Tarasia asked rhetorically, "Is there a difference between temporary and non-temporary?"
Tang Jie felt on the side that as soon as these two people met, the smell of gunpowder began to become strong as soon as they opened their mouths, and he interjected: "Take the liberty of interrupting, is there any special significance for the two of you to be entangled in this?"
Tarasia glanced at Fiona meaningfully, the reason why he would test Fiona with words like this was to see if this woman had the heart of self-reliance and dictatorship in Mozambique, and also wanted to see this woman's scheming.
In the information he learned, Fiona had always been a person who was not scheming and not good at scheming, otherwise she would not have been suppressed by Harris and needed Tang Jie's help to finally ascend to the position of the chief elder of the Supreme Magic Council.
But now that he was tempted, Tarasia found that Fiona was alert and witty, and that the person he knew and heard about was completely different from the one he knew and heard.
Tarasia became alert in an instant, and he realized that the Fiona in front of him, known as the Queen of Magic, was an extremely difficult person to tame.
However, how did such a beautiful, powerful, and powerful woman be tamed by this black-haired man?
Taraxia's gaze fell from Fiona's body to Tang Jie's body, it doesn't matter if you can't tame this woman, just tame this man, taming him, isn't it equivalent to taming this woman?
Tarasia smiled and said, "You're right, we shouldn't dwell on the old things. People from the vast expanse of the sea do have a long-term vision, unlike those of us who spend our days in huts. ”
Tang Jie muttered to himself in his heart, he was either a traitor or a thief, he smiled politely: "You have won the prize! Why don't we talk about business first? For example, let's talk first, why did you send me such an invitation? And why do you use magic to send messages, so that people are afraid that people will know?"
Tarasa was not annoyed in the face of Tang Jie's straightforward and aggressive words, and said with a smile: "Dear captain, are you afraid that I will be unfavorable to you?"
Tang Jie said noncommittally: "I have too many enemies, and it's always good to have more eyes." ”
Tarasia asked rhetorically, "If you're worried, why are you here again?"
Tang Jie smiled: "Because I think that now that the whole of Otrencia knows that I and the magical queen Fiona have come to Sky City, Tarasia will not be so stupid to attack us, right? You know, it doesn't matter if I'm missing, if Fiona disappears here, it will be a big deal! Let me guess, will Mozambique and Sky City start a terrible magic war because of this matter?"
Tang Jie's words made Taraxia's heart secretly angry, but he was old and fine, and smiled quietly: "Captain Tang Jie, I didn't expect you to be quite good at telling jokes. ”
Tang Jie spread his hands: "Anyway, I'm here now, if I have anything to say, can I always say it?"
After saying this, the golden eagle eagle on the side made a strange sound and shook its wings.
Tang Jie glanced at the eagle eagle strangely, but saw that the eagle was looking at Talasha with a playful gaze, and the voice just now seemed to be laughing at the situation that Talasha was a little uncomfortable and embarrassed by Tang Jie's words.
"This eagle is psychic, like a living person...... Tang Jie thought to himself, and turned his gaze back.
For Talasia, he lived for more than two hundred years, of which more than one hundred years were dealing with the royal family, nobles, princes and ministers of the Falco Empire, and this group of people was almost all politicians, so that he also developed a kind of politician's thinking and habits.
Politicians have a habit of complicating a simple matter, saying almost everything around the bend, with soft words and a needle in the middle.
He has never met a person like Tang Jie who is respectful on the surface, but behind his words he is not respectful at all, and his words are sharp and direct, and he goes straight to the point.
Therefore, Tarasia was a little embarrassed by Tang Jie for a while, especially the piercing ridicule of Aden on the side.
Tarasia coughed dryly and said, "You're thinking too much, Captain Tang Jie. The reason why I attach a magical message to the invitation is because what I want to tell you is too secretive, there are very few things in the world that know about it, and it concerns your true identity, so I don't want too many people to know. ”
Tang Jie looked unfazed and said, "So, you should be able to say it now, right?" Ah, as for Fiona, she is the closest person to me, I trust her completely, you can say it in front of her." ”
Fiona glanced at Tang Jie on the side, and a soft color flashed in the corner of her eye.
Tarasa felt that Tang Jie was a thorn in the head, and from the moment he spoke, he was like a wild horse that was unleashed, not controlled by anyone at all, which made Tarasia secretly unhappy in his heart: "Are you sure?"
Tang Jie nodded: "Sure, sure, yes!"
Tarasia smiled, he groaned slightly, and then suddenly said, "What would you think if I told you that you were Athos?"
Tang Jie looked surprised and shrugged his shoulders: "Oh, you are not the first person to say that I am Athos, and it seems that you will not be the last." But what I want to know is, why do you all say I'm Athos? Could it be that I'm some kind of reincarnation of him?"
Tarasia didn't answer and asked, "Then what would you think if I said you weren't Athos?"
Tang Jie's reaction was also as expected: "Oh? someone has said this to me. So, I'm not surprised, and I also want to ask, why do you say I'm not Athos?"
Tarasa said in a vicissitudes of tone: "As for why, this will be said for a long, long time, maybe three days and three nights. ”
Tang Jie didn't give face at all and said: "Dear Lord Talasha, I think you also know that I will have a duel with Kamyro in two days, and I don't have so much time to listen to your story, even if it is about my inexplicable or illusory identity." We can make a long story short!"
The eagle on the side saw the conversation between the two people, and let out a shrill strange laugh.
Taraxia tried hard to control the right to speak on the field, but was depressed by Tang Jie again and again, glanced at the eagle lightly from the corner of his eye, and then said helplessly: "So, have you heard the story of the sea god Tila and the god Raphael?"
"Myths?" said Tang Jie, "Of course I've heard of it! But does this have anything to do with what you said?"
Tarasya really said very concisely: "These things are true, since the sea god Tila was hunted down by the god Raphael, the two races she created were wiped out, and Raphael killed his beloved man, and the two gods have formed a deep hatred between the two gods since then." ”
"Thira, the god of the sea, began to look for her spokesperson in the world, and then asked him to find a way to avenge himself and challenge the god Raphael......" Tarasia looked at Tang Jie with a strange gaze, "You are the darling chosen by the god of the sea, and the darling selected by the last god of the sea, I think you should be able to guess it!
Tang Jie was a little **, some of the confusing things in his mind were finally solved, such as the stunning woman who appeared in the dream, presumably it was Tira, the god of the sea? For example, why Octavir said that he was Athos, and Horn said that he was not Athos.
But a new question emerged, Tang Jie asked: "Even if everything you say is true, what does all this have to do with you? Don't tell me, do you think you live a idle life, and you decide to do a good deed every day and help others is the foundation of happiness?"
Tarasha was secretly angry in his heart, he had never met such a rude person to him, but now he did have a request for Tang Jie, so he had to suppress his anger and say: "You are right, this matter does have something to do with me......"
