The magician from the time of peace

"Since it is an invitation to me, please allow me to walk ahead." When everyone looked at the underground stairs leading to nowhere and looked at each other, Merris stepped forward and said with a smile: "Those who want to go down People, please follow me and pay attention to the safety of your feet."

Felix pulled him back, frowned and said: "Don't walk in the front, the elemental activity here is disordered, don't overdo it."

Merris smiled at him: "It's okay, my instinct tells me that there is no malice in this invitation."

"That doesn't work either. Let that rough-skinned and thick-skinned knight go first, so that you won't be afraid if there are any traps."

No, no, I'm scared. I've been scared to death since I heard the story about the goddess Vera chopping people into pieces. And do you really know what my name is... Lamb has a bitter face.

"Don't embarrass Lamb," Merris smiled, holding Felix's arm: "How about...you walk with me? This step is a bit spacious, and we can walk side by side."

Felix snorted, his face paled, he grabbed Merris with his backhand, and led the way down.

The remaining three silently watched them show off their love, and followed silently, not wanting to talk.

The light on the wall illuminated the narrow passage as brightly as day. Aigers originally wanted to dismantle one and study its luminous principle, but the excellent alchemist used five tools, but none of them The lamps were pried off from the wall, and I had to stare hungrily at each lamp, hoping that the goddess would hear her heart, and one of them would automatically jump into her arms.

This staircase seemed to have no end. They walked for more than ten minutes. Except for a few corners, the surrounding walls and decorations did not change at all, making people wonder whether they were really moving forward, rather than staying in place. spin around.

The underground atmosphere has a special sense of depression. Before Felix became irritable and planned to break through the wall to see if there was dirt on both sides of the wall, the long steps ushered in its destination.

It was a spacious circular living room. There was a crystal high table in the center of the room, three chairs were placed around it, a very huge sofa and coffee table were placed against the wall, and a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf on the other side Books are neatly placed on the top, and there are several sets of cutlery next to it, but there is no food.Unlike the messy rooms on the ground, this place is spotless, and the ground is so smooth that people can be seen.

It is worth noting that there is only one entrance to this room, and there is no other way in and out except for the door they entered.

"What does this mean?" Felix strode forward. It may be because the oxygen in the ground is thin, or it may be because the temperature near the core of the earth is rising. Wreak havoc to calm yourself down.

Merris followed up and hooked his fingers lightly. This action was more effective than any venting. Felix lowered his head and leaned against Merris' body.

Merris smiled, and said softly as if she was afraid of irritating the lovers around her: "I think this place is probably used to receive guests. It's just that I don't know why the owner didn't show up."

------

"How long do you want the ink to leave the guest alone when he arrives?"

"Wait a minute, wait until I finish reading this paragraph." The blond girl's eyes were glued to the page: "I don't understand, why my novel is not as popular as it is, there must be some secret hidden in its text, I must To find out."

"Xiao Nei, let me tell you seriously that the reason why your novels cannot be sold is that your writing is too bad in the final analysis. If you look at the books I wrote, the sales volume is higher than yours. I have sold a total of 54 copies." The ramen is delicious.

"You're only a few minutes older than me, don't call me Xiaonei." Nell glanced at her: "And my book sales are not bad, judging from this year's book number, there are 53 books, only one less than yours It's just the book."

Vera nodded: "Yes, yes, you also know that you are a few minutes younger than me, and you have sold one less book than me, my little sister, I am very relieved about this."

Nell threw the book back without saying a word, reached out and grabbed Vera's long hair, and punched her in the face. The latter didn't dodge, but just grabbed her legs and threw her to the ground. He threw himself up and punched her in the face, but was pulled by the hair by the other party and rolled to the ground together.

The two unbelievably beautiful girls in clean and tidy white dresses fought like the roughest hooligans without any technical content or beauty.

After 10 minutes, they lost interest at the same time, let go of each other, and lay on the ground.

One person asked: "We obviously don't feel pain, why do we keep fighting like this?"

One person replied: "Looking at your face exactly like mine, I want to beat you for no reason."

"Oh, do you think that without me, she would love you very much?"

"Of course not, because she just loves me very much, and your existence only takes away one percent of her love for me."

"Did I share it? It was you who took away her love for me. I hope you recognize the fact that I was born earlier than you, and she saw me first."

"So what, the more perfect me immediately captured her attention."

"A man who only sold 53 novels calls himself perfect?"

"Half of your 54 books are distributed to the residents of the island!"

"Didn't you give it to them?"

"..."

"..."

The two sighed at the same time: "Why do we still have to argue about who she loves more?"

"It's been almost 500 years since the year she died."

They were lying on their backs, staring at the ceiling in a daze. A few minutes later, Vera suddenly turned over: "No, we forgot about the guests!"

------

Felix sat upright on the high chair, while Merris sat opposite him, with one leg crossed, scribbling on a piece of white paper with a pen.

After browsing the whole room, Foster leaned over to take a few bored glances, but his eyes widened: "You, can you still draw?"

"It's nothing more than a small trick." Merris put down the pen and paper, and Foster took a closer look at it curiously. On the paper was a young man with short black hair, with obsidian-like eyes and tight mouth corners, but he could see it carefully. A trace of softness can be seen from his cold eyes - this is clearly Felix!The painting is exactly like me, which is amazing!

He boasted several times, but Merris just smiled faintly: "For a magician who often draws magic circles, painting is not a difficult task."

As a magician, Foster felt ridiculed. In order to maintain his dignity, he turned to Felix and asked, "Don't tell me that you can also draw good portraits."

Felix turned his stiff shoulders—he hadn't moved at all just now to cooperate with Merris—and snorted: "Of course not, I can only draw circles with my bare hands."

I will do this too!Foster thought excitedly, feeling extremely happy: he is finally no worse than his colleagues a thousand years ago!

"As long as you are willing to learn, it's very easy to learn. Besides, my level is very average, and there are still many irregularities in this painting." Merris took the painting out of Foster's hand and tapped it with his fingertips. Fire, ready to burn.

"What are you going to burn me for?" Felix snatched the painting, folded it and put it in his arms: "You have a dedicated tutor to guide various skills, but it doesn't mean we have it too."

Merris didn't care about him, and only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with lake water, so gentle that it made one's heart palpitate.

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-"

There was a regular sound from far to near, and the whole living room trembled. The shaking was so large that everyone couldn't even stand still.

"Is it an earthquake?" Lamb turned pale with fright. If they were on the ground, they could still hide outside the house, but they were now so many feet below the ground that there was nowhere to escape.

"Don't panic." Merris said calmly. He looked up at the top of the living room: "Even though the vibration was so violent, the walls and ceiling of this room didn't shake any debris. It can be seen that whether it is an earthquake or not, It will not affect here."

As if to refute his words, as soon as Merris finished speaking, there was a huge gap in the middle of the ceiling. Foster screamed and grabbed Agnes's sleeve, and was thrown away by the latter. , Cursed: "Can you open your eyes and see clearly before you are surprised."

Foster quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked seriously: I saw that huge gap unfolded into a perfect circle, and an elevator slowly fell down.

Standing on the lifting platform are two young girls with blond hair reaching the ground and white skirts dangling like lilies. Their looks are as exquisite as they are reflected in a mirror. Their eyes are lowered, and their expressions are indifferent and noble.

No one could see that they tore a fight before they came.

Aigers knelt down at the first sight of them. Now she felt that her red dress was really vulgar. All women in this world should wear white dresses.

Lamb and Foster, two sad people who were deceived by the goddesses and thought that they would never trust them again, could not help their knees soften when they saw the face of the goddess at close range, and converted to their sect again .

Standing at this time, apart from the two goddesses who had just appeared on the stage, there were only two magicians who came to blaspheme.

Vera raised her eyes, and glanced lightly at the kneeling or standing humans in front of her, her expression remained motionless, but when her eyes touched the face of the blond magician, her expression changed, and she blurted out: "Are you— —”

She paused, and Nell beside her immediately called out at a faster speed: "You are Merris!"
