A retired magician raises a bucket daily

He really came over, for me.

The color of the moon is bright and clear, shining brightly into the eyes, and the appearance of the person in front of him becomes blurred because of the backlight.

Reed stood where he was, still holding the golden round emblem tightly between his fingers.

Jason had already stepped in through the window, with a black rope tied around his waist, as if he had climbed up from below.A palm larger than Reed's was gently wrapped around his hand, and even the round emblem was wrapped tightly in the palm of his hand.There was no light in the room, only the bright moon was shining on the ground. The boy lowered his head and leaned over. The smell of tobacco in his breath touched Reed's lips lightly. It was not so much a kiss as a comforting one. touch.

"Didn't I say it? When you're scared, just call my name, and I'll appear." Jason said softly, his eyes curled up into a smile, "Did you call it?"

The cold fingers were held in the warm palm. Reed first looked down, and then looked up at Jason. In most cases, his emotions would not change drastically. Self-protection mechanism, if his mood fluctuates too much, it will bring a lot of unnecessary burden to his body; second, for a person like him, there is nothing more important in the world than life and death.But this person in front of him is not, Jason is the existence beyond all that, his light, his redemption, the only part of his world that is not allergic*.

"Say it," Reed blinked, and the bright light remaining in his pupils and Jason's reflection swayed in it, "I also thought about it in my heart, wrote it down, and drew it on paper."

"So I didn't lie to you, did I?" Jason said with a smile, "I found you."

Going down was easier than going up, Jason fastened the belt around his waist, confirmed that the claw gun was firmly nailed to the edge of the wall, and then the two were ready to go down.There will be some slight noises when the feet step on the wall. With a light kick, it can sway far away, and the speed of descent is also very fast. It didn't take long to reach the bottom floor. Jason raised his arms and hugged the person. By the way, he unbuttoned the lifting belt and put away all the tools.

This is not the main entrance, but the side of the building. No one noticed it. It is estimated that no one thought that such a "Romeo and Juliet"-style elopement could occur in the Tranbellio's house. Both of them have anti-magic detection The crest of the Trambellio family was found, so he sneaked into the forest quickly.

Jason parked the plane not far away. The biological camouflage is really useful. Even Reid has to admit that he didn't even notice the existence of the plane before Jason spoke. The speed of modern technology development is true. Very fast.The plane appeared among the crowded trees, the hatch was pulled up from the bottom, and the stairs were lowered.

"Meow!" Just one step into it, a white unknown creature jumped over from the shelf in the distance, and smashed into Reed's arms in a panic.

"Are you there too?" Reed rubbed the cat's fluffy fur, stared at by the clear eyes when the other party looked over, the cat picked up his thin clothes, propped up its body to lick Reed's face, rough and wet The touch made Reed laugh, "You are not a dog, why do you like to lick people so much?"

Jason grabbed the cat by the neck and carried it away. He said unkindly to the little animal, "Your time is up, and now it's mine."

The cat waved its limbs in the air a few times in dissatisfaction, and Jason chuckled and threw it onto the makeshift cot built for her on the plane.

After starting the plane and getting ready to leave here, Jason first went to find some food for Reed.

The air conditioner was turned on at a moderate temperature in the cabin. When Reed escaped, he didn’t think to go to the closet to get some warm clothes to wear. He was still wearing a thin shirt that was going to sleep, and a dark cotton and linen long coat was also worn outside. It didn't work, he was sitting near the heating vent, feeling a little drowsy from the warm wind, as if those invisible spikes that were propped outside his body before were all put away now, he asked: "Would you like where to?"

The plane was slightly turbulent only when it broke free from the woods, and flew forward smoothly after reaching the sky. Reed turned his head and glanced out the window, and saw the tall buildings hidden in the forest lit up. The light was getting farther and farther away from him, and finally turned into a speck of light, which was hard to see under the thin clouds, so he looked away.

"Let's go to Mr. Weber first. He said that your body needs to be healed soon." Jason said, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message to Weber.

"Ah, cell phone..."

"What's wrong?" Jason raised his head and asked him.

"I didn't get my phone back...but forget it."

Reed suddenly thought of this, and then he frowned in distress, maybe he can't get it back?

It's a pity that he hasn't had time to back up the photos stored on his phone.

"We'll buy another one when we get home." Jason said, but saw the vampire biting the biscuit in his hand, pouted unhappily, and reluctantly responded.

There should be something important in it, right?Jason thought, after he stabilized Reed's body, he would help him get back.

It was already midnight when they arrived at El-Melloi II's classroom, and Weber was pacing by the window. He was relieved when he saw that both of them jumped out of the plane, and they didn't break their arms or legs. The cigar that I held in my hand for a long time was lit.

"Did Weber discover something?" Reid is very aware of his own physical state. The activity of the Philosopher's Stone has become lower and lower, and the magic power storage that can support the body has become precarious. Two different bloodlines competed for dominance with each other, and the pain became more and more serious day by day. If it was placed on an ordinary person, it might be too painful to walk now.

"Do you know Albion, the spiritual tomb?" The long-haired man exhaled smoke, his brows were still frowning, and he seemed to be owed money by everyone around him, "The huge one at the bottom of the clock tower The labyrinth contains huge resources, whether it is dragon scales and teeth or the corpse of a Hydra larva... the curse body that is almost impossible to find on the ground can be found there."

"But isn't that... controlled by the Anatomy Bureau?" Of course Reid has heard of Albion, not only him, but most magicians have heard of it more or less , the fundamental reason why the clock tower can be built in Great Britain is the wreckage of a certain dead dragon in the legend. It is close to the sea of ​​stars, showing the greatness of the dead dragon.It was a giant dragon about 2km in length, its remains were torn apart and scattered in various places.

In order to use its dead body as a magic resource, the main part of the clock tower was built on top of it.But I don’t know if it’s the influence of the dragon, or this land was originally like this, the more you dig the ground, the more you see all kinds of strange worlds, so I don’t know when, the maze became a mine, and the mine became a minefield. towns, and the towns became ruins as the abyss continued.

The underground exploration has been going on for more than a thousand years since the establishment of the clock tower. This underground exploration has benefited a lot and lost a lot. At some point, it got out of the control of the lords (Lords) and was transferred to the [Secret Anatomy Bureau] manage.

"Yes," Weber said, he licked his lips subconsciously, and continued: "At the bottom of the spiritual tomb, that is, the area that no one has been able to set foot on until now - the 'Fairy Realm', it is said that in There lives an all-knowing and all-powerful elf leader, and in her hand she holds the base shapes of all the gems in this world, including the real Philosopher's Stone."

Reed's breathing became rapid for a moment, and his blood surged in his veins. This should be the news he had been waiting for for more than 20 years.He squeezed the armrest of the leather sofa tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you sure?"

Weber nodded, "I went to check a lot of information, and found some clues... The most important thing is that when I solved an incident not long ago, I met a person who wanted to hide human beings Miss Goblin, I asked her about it, and she confirmed the news to me."

"But, but, it is impossible to go to Albion in my capacity. Once I go to the Secret Anatomy Bureau, Tranbelio will know the news soon. Besides, even if Weber can use the Lord (Lord ) status.......But isn’t the decision on the title already over? Do you have any reason to go to the third floor?” Reid frowned, and Albion was divided into five floors. They are the mining city Magisfia 10km above the ground, Aldwina the vein corridor 10~40km away, the ancient heart 40~60km away, and Karion the "Observatory" 60~80km away. A location that no one has yet been able to reach.

"There are four cracks (Portal) in and out of the spiritual tomb in London. The first one is under the clock tower and is controlled by the headmaster, but that... we can't find him now, and the other One is in the underground of the Anatomy Bureau, as you said, we can't go from there, and the remaining two are unknown. But... the coordinates of the tomb are very unstable, and sometimes parts of the terrain will exist at the same time Near the surface, there are also unstable cracks."

"Unstable rift?"

Weber nodded again: "I know an old gentleman, he is a 'Survivor' who can come out of the spiritual tomb, he can perceive where those unstable cracks appear."

"It's been two days?"

"It'll show up in a few hours," Weber said. "We're going now, as long as you make up your mind to go."

"I......."

"However, before you get there, you must be clear that in the tomb of Albion, the existence of true ether will be extremely strong. Even if you are just breathing, the magic power will flow into your body. According to Melvin, If you can't get back above the second floor in five hours, your body will definitely fail."

Jason looked over worriedly, but he didn't say anything. Reid understood that he left everything up to himself, but their hands were tightly held, as if to say: Whether you choose to live or die , I will accompany you.

He lowered his eyes and thought: The worst thing is to die.

There was a light-colored scar on the back of Jason's hand that was holding him tightly. It was unknown when it was left. The new flesh had almost merged with the original skin over the years. He thought untimely: If we can end this Everything, if I find that stone, I want to buy a ring for Jason to wear.

"Then... let's go." He raised his head and showed a gentle smile.
