Chapter 172: Above the Mirror Lake
It's cool to look at it without ads!
Algernon suddenly grasped the half of the wooden staff that was still in his hand and stabbed it towards Ivan's abdomen, but perhaps the old man's arm was too weak, and the wooden staff could not pierce the thick winter coat at all.
A sorcerer is not the same as a sorcerer. The physically trained Ivan was far more agile than Algernon, and he shook off the black and red half-cut wooden staff, and his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist and slammed Algernon's stomach.
Although Algernon had already carefully controlled his strength, he still bent down in pain, but the old man's eyes were always shining with scorching anger.
"That's enough! Algernon doesn't understand anything! I'm not a traitor! You old antiques don't understand anything!"
Sylvia's hoarse shout sounded next to her, she ran forward a few steps, her chest rose and fell violently, her face was pale with anger, and the anxious expression became more obvious, "You, don't you see it? Ulysses is not the Ulysses of the past anymore! Don't you hear his voice...... Is the voice of the god of the earth angry within him?"
Algernon's face changed suddenly, as if he had encountered a thunderbolt from the sky, and he instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"The wrath of the god of the earth...... It's still on this land! It's influencing Ulysses right now! That man's mind is full of thoughts of revenge, like the god of the earth who fell into heaven! You see, he's been studying that magic book of the Feather Clan all day, and something will happen sooner or later! You, do you understand? If you do, don't get in my way!"
Sylvia explained anxiously and angrily that at this moment she was like a fried lion cub, ready to pounce and bite at any moment. But as soon as she said this, she herself was stunned, and looked away in embarrassment as if she felt that something was inappropriate.
Elder Algernon was amazed for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Sylvia, how do you know this?" said Algernon, in a stern and solemn tone.
"Don't you believe it?" Sylvia suddenly became irritated, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Ivan's right wrist.
ā...... Hey!" Ivan had no idea what she wanted to do.
"This man's wrist chakra has the memory of the god of light!" Sylvia squeezed Ivan's wrist tightly, and when she punched just now, the golden wrist chakra had already slipped out of her sleeve, and the light and dark kerosene lamps cast a brilliant pattern-like pattern.
This time, not only Algernon, but also Ivan himself, and Aisha, who was still standing on the stairs, were shocked. Algernon's expression seemed even more horrified, as if he had been petrified.
"Algernon, you know that I am very good at finding the magic of memory!Although I don't know what this man's wrist chakra is, but only the god of light, as powerful as the god of the earth, can save Ulysses!" Sylvia became angry and continued to choke Ivan's wrist, "That's why I'm taking this man to Ulysses! Don't you know where Ulysses is?"
Algernon didn't react for a long time. Ivan turned his head and stared at Sylvia in surprise. What was she just talking about?The magic of finding memories?The god of light?Does it have anything to do with Lightgill?
Suddenly, a blurry image flashed through Ivan's mind.
Behind a field of golden ginkgo leaves, John spread his hands, and the figure was a little lonely.
āāā...... I can tell it likes you, too. ā
- "Hehe, don't you understand, the magic secret weapon also has a soul, can't you feel it...... It's already recognized you......"
The flashing memory made Ivan hold his breath for a moment. In fact, he was never able to fully understand what John had said, including the meaning of his "heart seal".
Lightgill has a soul.
Is this soul perceived by Sylvia?
Perhaps it was Ivan's pensive eyes that looked a little terrible, and Sylvia let go of her hand, and Algernon raised her head and stared at him quietly. The old man's mind probably had a lot of ideas colliding fiercely. Sylvia's words, Ulysses' recent reactions, and his resolute stance......
Exhaling hard, the anxious Sylvia could no longer calm down and wait for the old man's answer, she squatted down sharply and glared fiercely at the old man, who was an elder.
"Do you still think I'm a traitor?"
Algernon moved his gaze to her, his eyes growing deeper.
"Sivia, I beg your pardon, I still can't fully trust you right now. I know what you mean, I know your talent, I know it, and I know that you have very, very sharp intuition. However, your conclusion is incredible. I beg forgive me for the power of awakening the gods of the earth in a book that Devany Shelling gave us. ā
"You-"
"No need to ask, Sylvia. ā
Escher, who had been silent for a while, suddenly interrupted Sylvia, and she grabbed Sylvia's arm, her purple pupils with a look of regret, looking down at the old man who was still sitting on the ground. She seemed to want to say something to Algernon, but she didn't.
"Sylvia, Ivan, let's go rescue the clerks first, the crows should go somewhere else. ā
Sylvia seemed to be so aggrieved that she was about to cry. She glared at Algernon reluctantly and nodded. As soon as she took a step back, she suddenly hesitated again.
"You didn't see my brother...... Clarence, right?"
"Clarence?" the old man frowned.
"Forget it. Sylvia looked away impatiently, "Let's go." ā
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the group of three was about to leave, Algernon suddenly raised his hand and stopped them, "Where are you three going?"
"Don't worry about it!" replied Sylvia, unhappily.
"If you're looking for those ineffective clerks - they're not in the dungeon. ā
"Ulysses has given the order to bring them to the ship," said Algernon in a deep voice. ā
The ships in the harbor have long since been driven away by the wizards.
In such a cold winter, the calm and mirror-like lake should have frozen, but because there are always boats passing by, the black surface of the lake is just floating with some broken flat layers, and it looks like a dusty glass mirror from a distance.
As soon as Sylvia saw the lights floating on the dark waters, she did not hesitate to rush in the other direction. Soon, Ivan recognized that Sylvia was taking the same path they had taken when they had snuck in. By the way, the boat that Sylvia used to bring Ivan over should still be there!
Walking through the windowed hallway, Sylvia stopped suddenly. If it hadn't been found, the boat would have been hooked to the window in the tower, but by this time the boat was gone, and Sylvia took a deep breath.
"The boat was discovered...... Can't go. She said in a hollow voice.
Aisha frowned slightly, and she seemed to sense something as she looked at the lake that was still submerged in darkness, although there was no heavy snow.
"Raven!" she slammed towards the window, waving her hand vigorously before simply raising the golden thorn and shooting a spark.
"What are you doing? you'll be discovered!" Ivan hurried over, but then he looked in amazement at the light of a fire that seemed to light up above the lake as if in response to Eshar.
The firelight lit up two figures. The tall, lanky man in the off-white traveling cloak raised his right hand, and flames rose out of thin air from his palm.
"Scholar!" Asha called happily.
However, Sylvia, who had been longing to see that person, seemed to be frightened, and trembled violently.
She saw a face that recurred in her memories.
The boat approached the window steadily, and Asha quickly flipped off the edge of the window and stretched out her hand to Sylvia.
"I ...... Actually, I don't really want to ......," Sylvia said hesitantly. Clarence, who was standing on the boat, chuckled.
"Long time no see, Sylvia. ā
"That's it, it's not!" Sylvia's face was actually quite awkward, "You haven't been away for a long time, and I don't really want you to come back!"
"I know. Compared to Sylvia, the scholar Clarence replied very calmly, "I have to come back myself, maybe I'm sorry for the trouble." ā
"Apologize, what an idiot!"
Listening to Sylvia's inexplicable complaints, and when he boarded the boat that Sylvia had stolen again, Ivan was able to take a closer look at the scholar Clarence Milton through the reflected light of the lake.
He looked very gentle, just like the name "scholar", and with the square-rimmed glasses that were quite scholarly, he didn't see any fighting ability at all. He didn't seem to be at all excited or excited when he saw Sylvia, and when he heard about him from Aisha he thought he would be eager to see Sylvia.
However, this man was not a simple person who had faced Lord Laxis Flotica without fear.
The scholar sat down, gently stretched out his hand and flicked into the water, as if pushed by an even wave, and the boat began to move slowly. Sylvia sat across from him with a grim face, sitting with Ivan and Aisha along. On the scholar's lap is a white-covered hardcover book with a circular pattern.
"Hmm...... Why is the atmosphere so strange?" Suddenly, the crow next to the scholar smiled heartily, "I'm a crow, Miss Sylvia Milton, and you can call me a crow." ā
"Hmph. Sylvia was unappreciative.
"I saw an elder coming just now, so as not to be caught-" The crow deliberately winked at Ivan, "and I ran away." So I'm sorry, Aisha didn't wait for you. ā
"It's okay. ā
ā......ā
The atmosphere was indeed too strange. In any case, the five people in the boat are not on the same side at all. The Raven and the Scholar are supposed to be accomplices, but it's incomprehensible for the Alliance's magicians to sit alongside the illegal magic, plus a witch who hates new magic.
However, at this moment, on the mirror lake shrouded in night, the group of five people has a wonderful sense of harmony.
There seems to be a tacit understanding.
