top of magic

The scene of Sirius shooting Fillion didn't bother Keech for long. After talking to Hill, Keech's mind turned back to the reason for Moriarty's disappearance.But he looked through all the books in Tina's library and couldn't find a satisfactory answer. Finally, he had to pin his hopes on the library he had never been to once.

Under Avella's guidance, Kiki entered the library, looking for the magic that would allow him to appear anywhere at will.But soon, Keech discovered that the books that a junior magician could read were really limited. He could only read on the upper two floors of the library, and could not enter the higher third floor, let alone set foot in the basement below.

Keech couldn't think of a better place to go, and didn't dare to ask Tina and Amir, so he could only pick and choose among the miscellaneous books in the library.After tossing for three consecutive days, the kind of magic he wanted to find did not appear, but Keech had a rare memory of all the paths from the mage tower to the library.

On the fourth day, Keech finally found a possible correct answer in a book called "Those Disappeared Magic"-Space Magic: Teleportation.

This book is like those casual books that people can read. It doesn't mention half a spell related to magic, but only describes the known effects and possible effects of those magics.The book declares that space magic and time magic are called the power closest to gods, but time magic has never been mastered by humans, while space magic has been lost by humans—since the twilight of the gods, space magic has been Declared extinct, not only the magician who can use space magic has never appeared again, even the spells recording space magic have disappeared without a trace, only a small number of magic tools related to space magic have been carefully preserved.

Where these artifacts are kept is not mentioned in the book, but what caught Keech's attention is that, unlike the speculative tone used when describing other magics such as voodoo curses, the book uses a tone when explaining space magic It is extremely certain, as if the author of the book has witnessed space magic or a magic weapon that can prove the existence of space magic.

——Could it be that these magic weapons are in the Magic Association?

Keech couldn't help but want to find out this magic weapon and check it out, so as to further determine whether Moriarty is a space magician who hasn't appeared again for thousands of years, and whether the magic that makes him elusive is teleportation .

According to the description in that book, space magic is different from any other magic system, and does not even involve magic elements. In this way, it can explain why Keech can't see any special magic elements in Moriarty, while other magicians It is also believed that he does not have magical talent.

But Tina, who was most likely to come into contact with these magic weapons, was not around, and Kiki didn't dare to look around.After getting along with many magicians for about two years, Kiki has a little understanding of the situation of the Magic Association. The Asshai Magic Association he is in is just a branch of the Magic Association, and of course there are many secret treasures hidden in it. , but the best is certainly not here.

——Perhaps, he should take the intermediate magician assessment first.

When Kiki was thinking this way, Amir also ended his escort mission at the palace and returned to the Magic Association outside the city.

When Amir came back, Kiki was in the library looking for more books related to space magic.He just pulled out a hardcover book called "The Rise and Fall of Magic" from the shelf when a big hand reached out from behind and forcefully pushed the book back to its original position.

Immediately afterwards, Amir's voice came from behind Kiki, "What are you doing with this broken book?"

"Broken book?" Kiki turned his head hesitantly, and sure enough, Amir in a purple robe stood there expressionlessly.

"Reading before going to bed will be boring." Amir said, and glanced at Kiki, "Why do you think of the library? When Avella told me this, I couldn't believe my ears —oh no, eyes."

"...I want to find out a kind of magic." Kiki hesitated for a moment, feeling that it doesn't matter to reveal a little bit, "Space magic."

"What miscellaneous books have you read recently? Or did you hear someone say something?" Amir said coldly, "Forget it, go back to Tina's Mage Tower first, and tell me more about it on the way."

After speaking, Amir grabbed Kiki's arm and pulled him out of the library.

On the way back, Kiki couldn't help asking Amir about space magic.

Amir didn't evade it, and said bluntly: "Space magic really existed. Although the magic itself has been lost, the magic tools made with space magic have been preserved. In fact, the Magic Association is based on this magic tool." based on that."

Kiki was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that magic weapon is right under our feet?"

"I'm talking about the foundation, not the foundation." Amir frowned helplessly, "The magic weapon is the teleportation magic circle, and the site of each branch is the location of the teleportation magic circle. Where there is no teleportation magic circle, the magic association can at most Build a contact tower, and never send magicians there on a large scale."

"Teleportation magic circle?"

"Well, during the New Year, Tina and Avella used that to go back and forth between Yalong and Yuan Island. Zoe, Barosh and the others also came to Yalong through the teleportation magic circle in other places." Ah Mir nodded, "It is because of this magical weapon that can quickly gather people in a short period of time that the Magic Association dared to establish a branch in Oz, so as not to be afraid of the attack of the Holy See. This is also a weapon of the Magic Association, but It’s not secret enough that a lot of people know it’s there.”

"Is this the only one?" Keech asked.

"As far as I know, there are two types." Amir replied, "Teleportation magic circle, and storage space. The latter is even rarer, but in the newly discovered ancient site, a usable one has been found. storage box."

Kitsch suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking yearning.

"Even if you are interested in space magic, you have to wait until the intermediate magician assessment is over." Amir poured cold water on him, "Did you forget that you will be moving to the sage's house in three days, Isolated from the world?"

—he did forget.

Kiki twitched the corners of his mouth, but finally held back the idea of ​​curling his lips.

The assessment of intermediate magicians is much stricter than that of the primary assessment. All magicians participating in the assessment must live in the "Sage's House" where the assessment is held one month before the start of the assessment. Apart from the robe, no additional items are allowed.It is said that this is done to prevent some magicians from cheating in the assessment and using medicine and other means to improve their mental strength and physical condition in a short period of time.

Seeing Kiki's expression, Amir knew that he had long forgotten about this matter. If he didn't come back in time, this kid might even miss the assessment time.

"Concentrate on the assessment." Amir gave Kiki a nod bluntly, and then rewarded him with a sweet date, "If you can pass once, I will arrange for you to see the two kinds of space magic tools." Chance."

With Amir's promise, Kiki turned his mind away from space magic and Moriarty, and made final preparations for the upcoming intermediate magician assessment.And this so-called final preparation is actually to listen to Amir's reprimand and keep his instructions in mind, so as to ensure that he can pass the examination without exposing his unique abilities.

"What will happen if my abilities are exposed?" Keech couldn't help asking when the two were alone.

"Nothing, at least, I won't die." Amir replied indifferently, "It's just that I will probably never see the sun and your little friend Hill again."

"...What do you mean?" Keech stared at Amir suspiciously.

"Your perception and manipulation of magic is very rare, but it's not unprecedented." Amir picked up the quill on the table and said while playing with it, "There used to be a family, and all their members With magical powers very similar to yours..."

"Chimera?" Keech blurted out.

"Where did you hear this name?" Amir immediately dropped the quill and asked with raised eyebrows.

"At the dinner table of the Hill family, they compared this family with the Lucifer family." Keech replied, "When Hill's grandfather saw me, he asked me if my surname was Chimera."

"At Balotelli's age, he may have actually seen members of Chimera's family." Amir touched his chin.

"Am I similar to someone from that family?" Keech asked.

"How would I know? The Chimera family died more than 50 years ago, before I was born!" Amir glanced at Kiki, "However, your ability is indeed the same as theirs, at least, and mine I know the same."

"At the beginning, you just thought that I might be from the Chimera family, so you took me away from home?" Kiki asked with his head tilted.Now, two years later, he no longer cares much about why Amir chose him, but curiosity is still unavoidable.

"That's right." Amir shrugged, "Do you want to know the final fate of this family?"

"Tina told me that the last member of them was 'robbed' by the Lucifer family." Kiki pouted, "They wanted him to have a baby with a woman, but he didn't give birth and died himself .”

"Tina must not have told you how he died." Amir said with certainty.

"...No." Keech shook his head hesitantly.

"Suicide." Amir said indifferently, "The Lucifer family locked him in a manor and forced him to have sex with women. Then, one day, probably tired of this life without freedom, he decided to commit suicide , and took a lot of funerals with him - when his body was found, there was no one alive in the entire manor."

"It's not difficult to do, if he has the same strength as me." Kiki looked at Amir and said seriously.

"It's strange that it's strange here. If he really has the same power as you, why has he never shown it? He only wants to explode when he is dying?" Amir leaned back on the chair and asked lightly, "Can you imagine Do you have an answer?"

Kiki shook his head, but thought in his heart, maybe Xiuqi knows, about this kind of power, Xiuqi must know more than him.

Amir didn't continue talking, and instead said: "Anyway, that guy at least used his death to prove one thing - no one can plunder the power of Chimera."

"What about you? Do you want this kind of power too?" Kiki stared at Amir intently.

"I'm enjoying this power right now, aren't I? Without your power, I wouldn't be able to master the forbidden spell, and I wouldn't be able to get Tina to make a wand. Of course, if I could keep your power for myself, I would I won’t resist.” Amir replied lightly, “Just, how do I get it? To suck your blood?”

"Maybe you can try." Keech blinked.

"Anyone with common sense of logic would not say such stupid things." Amir sneered, "If you can gain power by swallowing, magicians have already used magic cores as food, so why would there be so many people because of Worried about not being able to advance?"

"Isn't it possible?" Keech thought seriously.

"Don't think about it!" Amir knocked on the table helplessly, reminding Kiki to regain his senses, "If you have that spare time, why don't you make me a magic wand."

"Didn't Tina already make one for you?" Keech asked suspiciously.

"I also need a light system." Amir said, and immediately added, "Don't let Tina know."

"...You really cheated." Kiki pouted.

"You are getting more and more talkative!" Amir gave Kiki a pair of eyes, "Hurry up, it's best to do it before you enter the sage's house."

"Three days are too short. If I squeeze my mental power like this, I will enter the sage's house sideways!" Kiki complained angrily.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you will stay in the sage's house for a month, so you can rest as much as you want." Amir said without pity.

"I'm going to sue Tina!" Keech threatened.

"Don't want to see the teleportation magic circle and the storage space?" Amir raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hmm..." Kiki was speechless immediately, more than threatening, he was never Amir's opponent, and Amir was always able to grasp his weakness at the first time, so that he would not have the slightest desire to resist.

So, Kiki could only make the expression that Amir hates the most - curling his lips, then stood up obediently and went to his laboratory to work for Amir.

When Kiki spent two full days making a silver-white light wand, he couldn't help but feel that he had found the reason why Amir didn't want to keep his power for himself-to get this power Afterwards, Amir will have to do it himself if he wants to do anything again. How can he sit back and enjoy it comfortably like he is now?

— Slacker!

Keech cursed angrily.
