A retired magician raises a bucket daily

To be honest, London at midnight is nothing more than Gotham, but the air is not so humid and cold, and the misty transparent glass of the small bar on the side of the road casts a warm halo, and the sky looks more empty After a while, you can clearly see the full moon and the clustered stars.

They sat in Weber's black sports car and sped past on the wide road.The cats were not brought together, and they were entrusted to Gray to take care of them temporarily. Anyway, the cats seem to be very close to people.

On the way there, Weber was talking to Reed about the matters needing attention in the tomb of Albion. He also went there a while ago due to the crown resolution, so he knows more about that place than Reed. Some, also because he has seen the situation under Albion, he is now extremely worried about Reed's body that can be said to be hanging by a thread.

The car crossed the urban area, and the bustling lights, feasting and worldly hustle and bustle moved away from them a little bit, and they were left far behind.

In front is a river, and at a glance, you can see the sparkling water waves and the reflection of the moonlight flowing in it.Webb turned the steering wheel, the car scraped the road by the river and turned, and turned into a small road. The tall pines and cypresses on both sides almost blocked all the light from the sky. The front was also dark, and the road was rough. There is a slight shaking.

Both Reed and Jason were sitting in the back seat. Jason looked down at the phone from time to time, but the light on the phone screen would only be on for a while, and he quickly turned it off again. When he noticed Reed's gaze, Jason turned his head Come on, ask him reassuringly: "Are you nervous?"

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, it was a matter of his life.Reed nodded, and then asked him still feeling uneasy: "Are you sure you want to go down with me?"

"Of course," Jason raised his eyebrows, "Don't underestimate me, I have been trained under the big caste, and I know a little bit about magic, so I won't hold you back, and I will if you go Very worried."

When the young man looked at him innocently, his eyes were clean and soft. The words of refusal were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. Reid stared at him for a while, and after a few seconds, he became dull Said, "Well then, if something happens to you... you have to run first."

"No," Jason interrupted, looking into his eyes and repeated, "No, nothing will happen."

Jason's body came close to him, holding his hand warmly.The sense of smell of a vampire is very different from that of ordinary people. Just like humans are more likely to have an appetite for food that smells good, he can also keenly capture many molecular components that ordinary humans cannot feel. The blood on his body slowly eroded his surroundings like the lingering fragrance of perfume.Everyone's smell in this world is different for Reed, so when Jason's unique warm smell is dry and gentle, he feels the relaxation of the brain, and the muscles of the body seem to have memories , Recalling the laziness when the two of them were lazy at home not long ago.

Hey, I really want to hug Jason to sleep.thought Reed.

The car finally drove through a flower field. There were not many flowers blooming in winter, and it looked like a bush.Hidden behind the flower field is a silent cemetery, extending out into a large space.

They got out of the car there, and they could barely see the surroundings with the headlights of the car. The night wind was a bit cold. Although Weber lent Reed his clothes, he still felt very cold, as if since the Philosopher's Stone After the operation became weaker and weaker, his physical condition became worse and worse. He was afraid of the cold and didn't have much strength. Jason held his hand for a long time without warming it up. It's cold.

"Is that where the crack is?" Reed narrowed his eyes, and noticed that the cemetery in front of him was full of unnamed monuments, which looked like well-meaning people found large stones to carve on them, and they were not as neat as private cemeteries. Clean, but clumps of clumps fell randomly in front of a bulging soil bag, and the stone surface is only engraved with the date of death, or the date when the tomb was established, and a very brief introduction.A few bunches of flowers that were about to wither were placed in front of the tomb, and the curled petals were crumbling with the wind.

"The location he said is here." Weber had already finished smoking a cigar while waiting. For some reason, his demand for cigars has also increased now, especially in the past two days, cigars can't be stopped at all. He got down and smoked one after another, his body was full of the smell of cigarettes, he looked decadent and irritable, the students couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw him, as if he had aged for several years.

It was all Reed's fault.El-Melloi II took the last puff of his cigar and thought resentfully in his heart.

"You guys are here." The hoarse voice of the old man was like a ghost, faintly coming from behind an old tree, which startled everyone, and Jason almost lost his grip on the phone.

But Weber is the most reliable adult after all, he quickly came back to his senses, put out his cigar, and said to the old man who slowly came out from the shadow under the tree on the other side: "Mr. I'll leave it to you next time."

"Has it been decided?" The old man's eyes turned around, and finally landed on Reed accurately, as if he could clearly see who the person who wanted to enter the tomb was.

He is short in stature, only about 1.6 meters tall, and he has to raise his head when looking at several of them. He walks with a limp, with a little mechanical clicking sound. Realized that the other party's left leg was a prosthetic.

"Yes, I've already made up my mind. Please take me into the tomb of Albion." Reed said to him.

The old man stopped and stared at Reed carefully. The old man's eyes were gray. Although he was very old, his eyes were still sharp, like a falcon. He was silent for a while before he said: "... ...well, come with me."

They walked through the cemetery, and Jason couldn't see clearly. When he used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the way, he sometimes raised his hand to see what was written on the tombstone.

The old man glanced at them and said softly: "The people lying here are all those who died at the bottom. There are countless people who are attracted to Albion by fame and fortune, but there are also a lot of people who died... So when those of us who are able to come out come out, we can bring up as many bodies that have not yet become nutrients. Although I don’t know their names, it’s better to lie here than to be in the bones of that thing. Be more comfortable."

Although the old man said so, there are really very few people who can come out of Albion. The Secret Skeleton Anatomy Bureau has the most resources and controls many researchers. It will come out from there again, which is why the first layer of Albion, Magisfia, is called an excavation city, and they have established a city there that is no less than the ground.

But when they quietly walked through those tombs, they roughly estimated that there were at least three or four hundred tombs here, and they were all rescued by people who did not want the flesh and blood of their compatriots to be devoured by monsters. ,

Not all magicians are selfish.

When the wind started to blow, the dead branches beside the mound would rustle and rub against each other, as if playing some kind of elegy, sending them off with the voices of the dead under the mound.

"You have to make up your mind that if you go down, you may never get up again." When they walked to an empty lawn, the old man stopped and said to them.

Reed's fingers curled up for a moment, but they were held by Jason in the next second. The young man looked straight at him fearlessly, and he said in a deep voice, as if he was talking to Reed, but also to himself Said: "We have never been afraid of death."

They are always facing death and have witnessed so many deaths, but they have never been afraid of those things. Even when Jason was dying, he didn't think of it: if only he hadn't become Robin, if only He wished he hadn't met the Joker.What he was thinking at the time was, would Bruce feel bad about his death?It seems that they can't go to the movie that they promised to go to together.

They have never been afraid of death, what they are afraid of is loneliness.

The old man stared at them for a while, and finally smiled, "Go down, the gap is here, the gap here is very stable, basically there will be three days in a week, the rest of the time depends on luck , but your luck is very good, it has appeared for four days in a row, I didn't expect it to still be here today...... I hope this luck will always follow you."

After finishing speaking, the old man walked to the other side. He would not take Reed and the others into Albion, and it was his duty to lead them to find the gap.He is very old and has had a hard time running since he got his prosthetics, and no one knows if he will be able to come out again if he goes in.

Reed stepped in first, and the front seemed to be shrouded in a layer of transparent veil. The surrounding air shook, and he seemed to be swallowed, and disappeared before Weber and Jason's eyes.

Jason followed to go in, but Weber stopped him. The long-haired man had already taken off his glasses and put them in his breast pocket. He had been researching information non-stop for the past two days, and there were tired wrinkles under his eyes. Weber frowned and said, "Think about it, the place Reid is going to is the bottom layer of Albion. For thousands of years, no one has ever been able to reach that place, because his blood has vampire genes, I just want him to take the risk, and you... are just an ordinary person, and you probably won't be able to hold on in it."

Jason paused, and then calmly asked Weber, "Have you ever been to the universe? There are many other planets in this world, and there are countless planets with life forms."

Wei Bo was stunned for a moment, and heard the young boy in front of him continue to say, "I have been to the edge of the universe, I have seen the most distant and strongest barriers in this world, and I have saved those planets that are on the verge of explosion and destruction, even I have already died It's been one time...even that I've survived, there's no reason why I can't survive when someone I love is in trouble."

Jason turned around and stepped into the lawn, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"..." Wei Bo smacked his lips sourly, looked up at the sky, and felt his nose a little sore for some reason.

It's amazing to have an object!

He walked in with that in mind.
