Chapter 162: Listening to the Witch's Story
After pondering for a while, Ivan boarded the witch's wooden boat.
If you hesitate any longer, the patrolling wizard will come. Inexplicably, the witch seemed to be in a hurry than he was, and she was so anxious that she kept stomping her feet on the boat.
"It would be bad if they had to get me back! You don't want them to catch me, do you, Mr. Thief?"
Ivan didn't bother to defend her, but what was the witch afraid of?
The witch paddled her oars skillfully, and the dark waters of the lake were not calm only because of the wind, but there was not much wind in the town of Takamo, surrounded by mountains. The witch's wooden staff is still in Ivan's hand, isn't she ready to go back?
"Can you tell me who your brother is?"
Because the witch said that Ivan could help her find her brother, which made Ivan a little concerned. It can't be someone he knows, Ivan has only seen a wizard outside, and he doesn't know that person at all.
"Clarence. The witch looked up, her dark eyes revealing a clever cunning, "His name is Clarence Milton, and my name is Sylvia. "Latest Novel Baidu Search"
“...... Clarence?"
A vague memory suddenly flashed in his mind, a name that seemed to him to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Could it be the wizard he'd ever met!Christina's coachman, was that him?
"Where's your brother?"
"How do I know!" Sylvia glared at him angrily, "Didn't I want to go to him......?
There was a hint of loneliness and sadness in the girl's complaining tone, and Sylvia hung her head, her silky black hair fluttering like a cloud in the cold wind of sleet.
"My brother was kicked out by Ulysses, the Great Elder here, and at that time Ulysses said that he should never come back, but that was all angry talk! He could come back whenever he wanted...... He, he's just angry!"
Sylvia gradually stopped paddling, perhaps this thought had been suppressed in her heart for too long, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but want to confide, "I hated him at that time, too! You know? He actually said that we should accept the so-called new magic 'outside'! As a noble wizard, how can you think like that!"
"You, you hate new magic?" said Ivan. If Sylvia had known that there was a magician using a new magic sitting across from him, she would probably kick him into the lake. Provided, of course, that Ivan is not ready to fight back.
"Hate?" Sylvia's expression was as if she had heard a very exaggerated joke, "We are the heirs of ancient wisdom! We are proud of our bloodline! How can we accept the power of that demon? The magic crystal used by the new magic is clearly the thing of the demons!"
"Huh?"
Ivan was startled. The wizard thinks that the Demon Guide Primordial Crystal is a demon thing?
"Ahhh......h Actually, I still know, he, he's here...... Very important......"
Sylvia was excited for a moment, then suddenly lowered her head again, "If he was here, Ulysses wouldn't have become like that, and neither would the towns...... I've been scared all day......"
To be honest, Ivan didn't quite understand what Sylvia meant.
Still, after a day at Bard's house, he could still feel the nervousness of the people in the town.
Whenever Bard talks about the recent situation, his expression is so gloomy, some of the wizards have died at the hands of the magicians, right? The elders that Bill called even did not hesitate to use spiritual magic to force him to tell the truth, and he was cautious when he saw outsiders, for fear that an enemy would sneak in. ...,
But if they were afraid, why did the wizards attack Webster Fortress?
"What the hell is going on in Takamo?" Ivan asked tentatively, thinking "what might be in Sylvia's mouth?" Unexpectedly, Sylvia immediately widened her eyes, and then snorted disdainfully.
"I told you don't understand either! You're just an 'outsider'. She looked away and sighed a little dejectedly, "We are not the same as the people 'outside', who only know that we study ancient magic, but they don't know that we have a great mission...... We are the true recorders of history. ”
She paused, then turned her face abruptly.
"By the way, what does the legend 'out there' say, what do you say about our castle, what the hell are you trying to steal?"
"......" Ivan was speechless.
"This place of Takamo is the place where the great feather magician Ota and many magicians fought against the Chaos Monarch during the Great Holy War. ”
Seeing that Ivan didn't speak, Sylvia moved her position and leaned closer, and actually told the legend with relish. "The Monarch of Chaos once invaded the side of the Palan Continent, and the magician of the Feather Clan, Otta, led a thousand magicians to summon the powerful God of Earth in this place, and the angry God of the Earth repelled the Monarch of Chaos, but his anger also took away the lives of many humans and the Feather Clan. ”
"Even your own people?" Ivan was stunned, he had not heard of this legend.
"Fool, that's the god of the earth who has fallen into heaven! When he was summoned, the earth fell, and the Mirror Lake was formed. The sorceress Sylvia grinned triumphantly, revealing her mischievous little tiger teeth, as if she still had a sense of superiority, "Later, in order to appease the wrath of the god of the earth, and other gods, a castle was built here to worship the gods, and look, right there." ”
Sylvia jerked to her feet, stretched out her arms, and pointed in the direction the ship was heading. Ivan immediately turned back. He gasped.
It was a miraculous building! The force of the black pressure stood like a mountain in front of him. However, I am afraid that only God can carve the mountain into such a perfect shape. The towers in all directions are hidden in the snowy sky, as if they are huge tombstones sprinkled with white petals in the sky, and the solemn feeling makes people suddenly feel extremely small, and even want to worship them.
"The name of the god of the earth is not to be pronounced casually, for his name itself is a spell. Sylvia's expression also became stern and serious, as if she had entered a temple.
"The names of many gods and goddesses in nature are not to be said casually. ”
"Hmm......" Ivan whispered. He was in a trance, and the existence of this castle made him suddenly lose his sense of reality. Is this really what ancient humans built? It's incredible!
"You're interested in ancient legends?" Sylvia narrowed.
"Well, sort of. Ivan was stunned for a moment, and replied with some weakness. If you want to sneak into the wizard's castle, it's better to pretend to be interested in their lore.
"Well, interesting people. Sylvia's tone was strange and unsteady. But Sylvia didn't say much, and their boat got closer and closer to the outer walls of the castle. m
