Pushing open the door to Lizzie's study, Curt was greeted by the heavy darkness and the subtle smell of various medicines. A smell of mint mixed with burnt leather emanated from the inside of the room, seeping into his nostrils. Although the smell is not unpleasant, it can be quite uncomfortable to the nose.

Curt thought to himself, this guy can't think of some new way to play dead, and then immediately put it into practice in the study, right? But when he thought about it, he thought it was unlikely. After all, Lizzie loves her collection of books very much, and avoids the study every time she messes around.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, in order to avoid this time it's "just in case", he still tentatively shouted into the dark study: "Liqi, are you in there?"

To his surprise, he quickly got a response.

"It's a gaffe, I haven't used large-scale spells for too long, and the technology is rusty. It will actually collapse because the search area is too large. Lizzie's tone was relaxed, and she didn't show any gaffe in her self-awareness, "Wait a minute, I'll put the lights back on first." ”

Babbling –

The sound of a girl flipping things rang out in the space, and then it didn't take long for the "lamp" she said to be lit - it was a dozen opanine crystals suspended in mid-air, and they emitted a soft light, revealing a qiē in this originally somewhat dark space.

It's a room that's so cluttered that it feels oppressive.

In this crowded room, Lizzie, who was wearing a loose robe, looked at Curt who was standing opposite. At this time, her demeanor was as casual as before, but there was no trace of fatigue in her eyes, but she was filled with strictness and seriousness.

The circular walls, occupied by marvelous specimens, grotesque ornaments, and piles of books, are almost buried in force. This room looks like a study, but it doesn't have the slightest sense of organization and intellectuality, which is more appropriate to call it a madman's research room.

The layout of this room was very different from what Curt remembered, and he remembered that it was quite tidy when he came to this room yesterday to return the books he had borrowed last time. Although Lizzie seems to be unorganized in everything she does, she is only quite concerned about the management of these collections.

However, many of the books that Lizzie had carefully kept were scattered on the floor, and some of them had blackened covers. In particular, a thick book with brass corners, with a marvelous geometric pattern on the cover, almost falls apart, and pages full of obscure words are scattered everywhere.

The culprit of this incident is undoubtedly the strange Rubik's cube drawn in the center of the study, seven small rectangular boxes symmetrically arranged, filled with dense ancient characters, a curve passing through the center of these rectangles, connecting them together.

Placed in the middle of this Rubik's cube is the lapis lazuli that was brought back by Liqi at that time, and its surface is already crawling with spider web-like cracks, giving people the feeling that it will shatter if they are touched at the slightest touch. If Curt is not mistaken, it was while investigating this thing that Lizzie almost blew up the study.

It's just that the result is good, and I don't know how.

"What the hell are you doing? Curt looked at Lizzie, who was standing next to a pile of fallen books, and said, "Sue me, how long did you take this new variety of technique before I came back?"

"Who am you, I'm one of the greatest spellcasters in the world. Lizzie said triumphantly, but her sluggish actions made her words a little less convincing, "I can figure out such a simple technique in just a few hours." ”

"As for the results..."

Maybe I think it's too cumbersome to explain, and it's better to show it directly to Curt. Before she finished speaking, she once again operated the Rubik's cube drawn on the ground. Refined magic poured out of his hands, pouring into the rectangular Rubik's cube structure that represented the beginning in one go.

Suddenly, the Rubik's Cube was activated, and the locked room was surrounded by wind coming from nowhere. The air began to flow under the impetus of the spell, and they slowly circulated in the arc that guided the direction of the magic, giving the ancient words written in the place where they flowed a different color of brilliance.

Each spell is an "algorithm" based on magic that transforms different concepts into phenomena. Each algorithm has a unique structure, and even if Curt knew a little about spells, he couldn't understand what the algorithm that Lizzie had compiled a while ago meant by it.

But the phenomenon can be seen by anyone -

Under Liqi's manipulation, the words in the shop of the Rubik's Cube Array flickered continuously, and finally the magic contained in the words turned into ultramarine silk threads, which poured into the lapis lazuli located in the core. In constant vibrations, the lapis lazuli reflects a turquoise glow, creating a spider-like silhouette around it. At the same time, through the widening cracks on the surface, you can barely see a wonderful pattern with a large number of cutouts on the inside of the stone.

"Curt, do you see it? After the demonstration, Lizzie immediately stopped the output of mana, and the Rubik's Cube, which had lost its energy supply, flickered a few times, and then did not react, "This kind of processing method is commonly used by our old friends." ”

Curt's previous bad premonition came to fruition here, and he frowned and said, "But in the previous battle, they were indeed destroyed..."

Lizzie snapped up, "Who knows, it could be that we didn't succeed in completely ending them before, or maybe they were remnants of the same organization as us. It's even possible that there was a technology exodus when their organization was disbanded, and now people who use the same technology as them are unrelated to other organizations. ”

"In any case, there is no way to close the coffin until the information is confirmed. ”

Her spirits were completely calm. Spells that are not optimized require the caster to spend more mana to maintain, and will also make her have to be mindful of more variables when operating. Lizzie is an excellent spellcaster, but it's impossible to put all your energy into it without getting tired.

Curt sighed quietly, "Even you shouldn't be able to do this job in one go. Reversing such a complex spell operation structure into a prototype would consume a lot of mana and energy. All in all, you should go and get some rest now. ”

"It's not a very important thing. Lizzie immediately pulled the topic away, "Don't talk about me yet, did you get any information from the eldest sister's head?"

"Intelligence?" Curt hesitated for a moment before continuing, "there is no information, after all, we can't act beyond our authority. So the eldest sister decided to notify all the mercenaries who had accepted to work in the suburbs first, so that they could keep an eye on them while working... In other words, wait and see. ”

"Wait and see? I don't quite believe this is a decision that the eldest sister will make. Lizzie walked over to a rattan recliner and sat down, her voice slightly dry, "The only possibility is you, you must have deliberately misled her to make such a decision, right?"

Curt replied without changing his face: "It's none of my business, this is the final conclusion that the eldest sister came to in the end." The reason for this was that the members of the garrison took over the investigation report of the incident and that they had conducted a 'nothing' investigation before giving us such a decision. ”

"Therefore, this matter is also powerless for the current mercenary management office. Curt spread his hands exaggeratedly, and said as if pity, "After all, after they seized the power to deal with it, from the perspective of the mercenary management office, they can't meddle in the work lightly." ”

"In other words, is it okay not to be intervened as a person?" the girl who saw through the secret of Curt's words sneered, and then she looked at Curt with a sly gaze, "Then can you sue me about what you plan to do as a person?"

She leaned back on a rattan chaise longue and trembled as she removed a tube of colorless potion with blue bubbles from the coffee table on her right hand side and slowly poured it down her throat. After Fang Cai's spell, her thin body seemed to be enveloped in a tired atmosphere, and just saying a word seemed to take all her energy.

Seeing that Lizzie was powerless, Curt originally wanted to say something, but the words seemed to be blocked in his throat and he couldn't say anything, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

She laughed mischievously, "Are you planning to get into danger by yourself, or to get information with a little bit of laughter?" But I still remember that the person who told me, 'This is no longer a world that must be fought,' is you standing here." ”

The previous character was reversed, and Curt hurriedly waved his hand to deny Lizzie's claim, "No, no, what are you talking about? As I agreed before, every qiē action will be prioritized to maintain a peaceful daily life, so I won't act casually. ”

But Lizzie didn't believe Curt's defense.

She reluctantly sat up from the recliner, stared at Curt with a warm gaze, and said, "Yes, your policy has not changed in the slightest, and 'every action is to maintain a peaceful daily life'. So anything that might threaten this everyday has to be cleaned up, right?"

In the face of Lizzie's calm and word-of-the-word questioning, Curt suddenly fell silent, and a low and short ** came out of his throat. After a few moments of silence, Curt reacted, scratching his cheek with his hand and began to whisper his thoughts.

"Removing these unstable factors will not only endanger our hard-won daily life, but may even destroy him completely. At that point, we're in a pretty troubled position. So leave this to me, you should at least trust my abilities, right?"

"Of course I believe in your abilities, but I'm a little unhappy with the Guardian posture you're putting on right now. Lizzie closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again, "Our relationship shouldn't be like this, I can understand your thoughts, but because of this, I can't always accept your unilateral protection." ”

Curt sighed, "I wasn't trying to hide it from you or anything. I just want you to stop thinking about the tiresome battles and fighting each other... You fought for the life you are living in that war, do you have to give up the results you have now?"

At this time, the expression on his face no longer had the hippie smile just now, but was replaced by a strict expression.

"So for the sake of my 'daily life', I should leave a qiē trouble to you to deal with?" Lizzie looked up at Curt, her dark eyes holding in the light like an abyss, "No, I can't agree. At a time like this, I can't stay out of it. ”

Lizzie's appearance was obviously determined, and Curt, who knew that there was no way to convince her, supported her forehead with her hand: "Well, if you are determined to take the initiative, of course I don't have the power to stop you." But can you tell me what you're going to do?"

"Gladly. ”
