Sworn allegiance

Since that day, the distance between Wujo and Xiayou has inevitably become much closer.The wizard admitted the fact that he had traveled with angels and humans, but never mentioned his true identity.He said Gojo Satoru was the "heir to the inheritance", because the Tower of Babel did not reject his approach, and even took the initiative to transfer the prince who was in crisis to the domain.

"I was the only one who could do this in the past, because I was not only the founder of the tower, but also the guardian bound by the contract." Xia You said.

Although it took thousands of years, the Tower of Babel was never completed.Even if there is an archangel offering sacrifices for fusion, it will only forcefully maintain the original state for 600 years, so that the convergence of the celestial and spheres will come as scheduled.

Now, with the dragon disaster as a precursor, the largest and most irreversible third catastrophe is about to happen.If the protoss is always in a chaotic and uncontrollable state, even if the power of all the magicians and angels in Sid Continent is gathered, it will most likely be unable to recover.

With this in mind, Xia You began to teach the five basic magic skills.As he said, the old emperor Wo Ge made a contract when he was seriously ill, asking Xia You to help Wo Ge when he was facing annihilation, and at the same time supervise his inheritance; Wujo Wu, who was part of it, was naturally in the ranks.

If necessary, Wujo must know that he shoulders the important task of correcting the Tower of Babel.

But this last item, the wizard never directly mentioned it.He just nodded under Wutiao's strong request, and imparted all the sacred knowledge that once reached the peak in the distant era.

Due to the protracted fluctuation period of the Protoss, Wujo stayed in Ivicat for three full months.Xia You is an old fairy who drinks the northwest wind. There are only five animals in the family that need food, so he is forced to develop excellent living habits.

Every morning, the prince yawned and got up from the tree house to wash, and went to the kitchen alone to cook and eat, and then used wind magic to find summer oil in the big library, spending the busy morning with him.Most of the afternoon is actual combat drills.The use of weapons was not allowed in the first half of the month, and the use of divine power was not allowed in the second half of the month, causing Wutiao to fall down several times.

The dense fog was driven out for twenty or thirty square meters, and the wizard cast magic outside the fence, his cloak fluttering like a big eerie bat.The beams of light gushing out from his palm condensed into entities, attacking all five of them.

"Wait...!" Wutiao used his hands to mobilize the divine power to resist, and the beams of light converged into a large shield with a height of three people, and the bright gold was rendered extremely dazzling by the abundant power.But the shield began to crumble the moment it took shape - Xia You on the opposite side raised his hand, and the dark arrows pierced the shield like a gust of wind, knocking back five of them heavily.

After seeing Xia You use magic with his own eyes, Wujo immediately had a firm understanding of the identity of this mysterious wizard.

That is power that does not belong to Sid.

It is neither the pure divine power of the angel family, nor the mixed magic learned by human beings.Although the quality is shallow, the power contained inside is hundreds of times heavier than the real thing; once it is directly hit, the wound will fester immediately, and the toxin of the magic power unit will spread rapidly and infect the whole body with the blood flow.

As far as Gojo was concerned, this smell was all too familiar: almost every Templar had screamed in pain at the hands of the medical team.According to the entry in the textbook, this is called "the nightmare that the people of Sid Continent fear day and night"-the dark chant power originated from the "Dark River" of the Dark Continent.

That's right, I did regard a demon seed as my teacher.Templar Gojo Satoru nodded and gave himself a thumbs up.

It's a pity that he couldn't be distracted - the dark light that hit the shield directly was more like a shotgun with superior striking power than a cold weapon.At the moment when the defense completely disintegrated, Wutiao decisively dispelled the magic, injecting divine power into the wind element surrounding the torso in an instant.The airflow close to the skin immediately surged, turning into a small storm around the limbs, dispelling all the filth of Anthem in the shield debris.

This series of reactions takes place in a matter of seconds.As soon as Wujo stood firmly, he turned his left hand lightly, and summoned the golden flame of sacred power again to prepare for the next attack.

The air distorted by the high temperature brushed a few shadows, Xia You waved off the ash on his cuffs, and nodded: "The foundation is indeed very solid. Is this how you all use magic?"

"Ah? Why not?" Wujo replied angrily, and decided to put a hundred cockroaches in the wizard's study tonight, "What's your opinion?"

"If this is taught by textbooks and normal procedures, I can only say that human beings are killing themselves."

Wu Tiao, who was used to being inexplicably ridiculed, sat down on the grass without saying a word, resting his chin in one hand and rolling the slender leaves in the bushes with the other.His "awesome" demon teacher is horribly backward in some places, but he can indeed point out the main points that are forbidden or buried in the contemporary Sid continent.

Xia You was still talking about it, and even used the staff that had never been used in actual combat training: "Whether it is the introductory inspiration of the enlightenment of the angel family, or the magic formula inherited and carried forward by Francis in the later period, its basic construction and operation method Both are completely different from the methods you use."

"If you want to make an analogy, it's like using a small water ladle to scoop up the water in the sea. It takes 1000 years to scoop up the water, right? Although human beings have a low degree of compatibility with supernatural elements such as divine power, in the past, at least We can use large sluices to release the flood, so why is it going further and further backward now?"

He spoke unceremoniously, but his tone was clearly marked with the words "I really just don't understand".Wutiao felt that in the past three months, he had squandered all the anger he had never suffered in the past ten years. Thinking about it carefully, maybe it was really retribution.

Thus, the prince, who is the container of divine power, the crystallization of the highest technology of the Vogo Empire, and the successor of the tyrant, laughed.He smiled sincerely, like an honest, friendly and well-behaved student: "Teacher, do you have a crush on my 'old father'?"

The topic changed too quickly, Xia You raised her head in confusion: "Huh?"

"Otherwise, why do you put all your heart and soul into teaching me magic? Although your attainments in this area are indeed very high... It's not a question. I said earlier that there is a contract or an oath or something like that, but it's worth it. For your sake?"

"Don't speculate." Xia You said, the color of the fundus of the eyes is darker, showing a faint dark purple under the sunlight.Before Wutiao was ready, he snapped his fingers crisply, letting the air wave blow the boy away.

Wujo Satoru, who was trapped in the mushroom bushes, was indignant, suppressed the surging blood in his chest, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yo, so I guessed it right?"

The wizard looked down at him condescendingly, with black hair and black eyes like a flowing dark river.Except for the cyan stone chain on his left wrist, which is as bright as the morning star, he looks like a waterfall hanging upside down on the cliff tip of the dark continent from head to toe. The water splashes up a hundred meters high, and every drop is icy cold.

But the gaze he looks at Wujo is always deep and complicated.A shaky lighthouse flickered in it, the flames were dying out, the wet wood was still burning relentlessly, and the air was full of the smell of burnt mold.

Who are you looking at?

Wujo looked back at him, Mr. Wizard, who exactly did you see in me?

Regardless of whether the five guesses were correct or not, Xia You never brought up this topic again, and time ran forward day after day.Wujo was already extremely intelligent, and his body was a specialized container of divine power. Soon after he found the trick, he made great progress—half a month later, when he was allowed to use magic and long swords in the actual practice, the boy was already able to It's been more than an hour under the wizard's hands.

"Tonight will be a full moon." When work was over in the evening, Xia You stood in the yard looking at the sky for a while, and suddenly announced.

"so?"

"Are you interested in seeing it? The full moon during the celestial sphere conjunction is different from usual. I'm used to seeing it. You probably haven't seen it yet."

That night, Xia You floated up to the roof with a basket of old wine, and knocked off the lids of pots to drink.Gojo, who had no tolerance for alcohol, sat by and stared, with a small pile of pre-made desserts on hand, in case Xia You had a sudden whim and asked him to get up and practice until midnight.

The clouds and fog were so thick that only a few rays of light could be seen vaguely above the forest.While waiting for their vision to clear up, they talked in low voices, like two stones rooted in the night.

"You really don't know about the contract with the devil?" Speaking of his previous experience in the Knights, Wujo would always be happy. After signing the contract, either choose a gentle servant as a servant, or a good guy who can be a mount.”

Xia You, who was uncomfortable with the fact that "humans domesticate demons", raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Are you talking about the master-slave contract?"

The brain circuit was finally corrected, and Wu Tiao stuffed a macaron into his mouth. When he spoke, his cheeks were puffed up, and his voice was vague: "Yes, that's the thing. But the effective range of the master-slave contract is not large enough-as long as you meet It won’t work if you get a slightly higher-level demon seed, and you’ll even be led by the nose in reverse.”

"Everything has a price. Balance is the ultimate way to maintain order, no matter which world it is."

The mist has lightened slightly.A half golden arc appeared on the top of the clouds, hanging high and brightly in the center of the sky.

"Two worlds?" Wujo turned to look at Xia You, "You never talk about yourself. What kind of place is it over there?"

Since Xia You intends to use An Yongli in front of Wutiao, Xia You naturally has no intention of concealing her identity.After hearing the question, he was silent for a moment, as if trying to mobilize the broken and messy images in his mind.

"I have been in Sid for 1000 years." The wizard drank the second jug of wine, "I can't remember many things clearly. But the Dark Continent is indeed different from Sid... We don't have a clear geographical division, just use The natural environment distinguishes the place of birth. The power level of different individuals is destined at birth, and which part of the mainland they are born in can already determine the upper limit of a monster's talent."

Thinking of those crooked-looking monsters, Wutiao couldn't help but take a second look at Xia You. "Are you still a nobleman?" He deliberately choked his throat and said, "The demon seed that came to Sid for the first celestial sphere confluence, why do you look like a human?"

At least increase the average appearance of the demon species, so that the knights can protect their eyes when they are attacking.

Xia You knocked on the third jug of wine, and seemed to be thinking seriously.Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, the cloud and mist suddenly dispersed.

The far end of the horizon suddenly opened up, silver and gold entangled and fell to the sky, smashed against the eaves, and then suddenly turned into thousands of pieces of debris and scattered, polishing the thick black night.The moon wheel reveals the whole picture, the outer ring is gold and the inner ring is silver, and the light from all directions gathers, lingering like fire and thunder.

A double moon, two moons in the sky, two stars in tandem – this full moon phenomenon has been given many names since the celestial spheres came together.In the end, it will always be recorded by those who are lucky enough to see it, and the wonders will be vented between words and brushes as excitedly as writing history.

Different from other regions of Sid Continent, the clear sky in Ivicat Great Forest is particularly clear.Wujo stared at the full moon in a daze, his miscellaneous thoughts went away in an instant, as if his soul was suddenly pulled out of his body.He hangs high in the sky, with six eyes watching everything, the ocean current of history roars from the distant past, flows over his ankles, and then rushes forward indomitably into the future.

Only under the moonlight, in the closeness of the two worlds, in the last twilight before the disaster, the legacy of Emperor Vogo caught a glimpse of the unreachable last millennium.

"I was originally the first raven in the Everlasting Mist. We don't have a real body, and we even borrowed the name 'Raven'." Xia You was also looking at the bright twin stars on the distant sky, speaking lightly, ready to speak at any time Swept away by a gust of star wind.

When he spoke, Wutiao was distracted to listen.

"It is also based on the standardized form selected when self-awareness sprouted. The Everfog is the birthplace of the dark river, and the concentration of dark chanting power is much higher than that of any place on the mainland. Therefore, our race is born powerful, and we can obtain it through transformation. Physical power."

The jug was empty, Xia You reached for the fourth bottle, not feeling drunk at all.The night scene was so beautiful that I forgot to eat the five pieces after chewing them. I didn't think of the dessert in my arms until I saw the action of Xia You, so I picked up the small cake and bit off the top chocolate plate.

The wizard said: "Unfortunately, I failed to complete the transformation in my hometown. The gathering place of the ravens was severely damaged at the first celestial sphere convergence, and most of them were killed on the spot. Only I was lucky enough to fall into the protoss and pass through the gap Came to Sid Continent."

"Oh? So you're a sparrow." Wutiao said vaguely, grabbing the summer oil jug—the latter let go of his hand and watched him pour it into his mouth with a smile on his face.

So Wutiao froze halfway comically, the liquor dripped out from the sloping spout, and the front lapel was quickly wet.Half of his reaction was startled by Xia You's abnormal reaction, and half was startled by "he actually laughed again".

"Just say it." Xia You was still smiling, the gloomy expression in her dark eyes was wrinkled by the wind, revealing the gentle undertones under the ice, "Anyway, it's all in the past, nearly a thousand years, and it's not so easy to be fooled by you once or twice The sentence is subverted."

This was his confidence in dealing with Wujo Wutiao - he was old enough and had lived long enough to stop paying attention to the little tricks of the prince.

The moonlight was so suitable, Wutiao asked: "Then how did you become the person you are now?"

So Xia You looked away from him a little bit, and the hurricane set off overwhelming sadness.Gojo's eyes were so blue that they were distorted, crystal-like fragments of light were dotted around the pupils, and the gold-silver moon was reflected in them, making the sky brighter, like an endless ocean current.

"After falling into Sid... I was very lucky." The wizard repeated "lucky", even though his voice was difficult and deep, "I met a person, and this appearance was created at that time."

His voice was as quiet as the night, flowing dead silently and slowly under the moonlight.Wujo looked at the thin face, saw the silvery white moonlight falling down the bridge of the nose, covering the sharp jaw and lips, making the upper half of his face sink into deeper shadows.So the slender and slanting eyebrows and eyes were soaked in ink, and the darkness dripped down, forming a full triangle on the lips.

His neck, his skin covered by his robes, his waist tightly cinched under the waistcoat of his suit, and his long, pale hands.When the moonlight illuminates him, Gojo is suddenly captured by a thrilling caper.

Riding on the full moon, the prince's silver hair was like a gleam of color on the top of a snow mountain, but he only saw Xia Youjie. "That's it," Wujo answered blankly, without comment, "So it's a crow elf who can speak human language."

Wizard: "Why, do you want to say 'If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't accompany you to see the moon'?"

"I think I like you."

Well, it's really a wrong answer.

The wind is very light, the night is far away, and the moon is very bright.Facing the wizard with a blank face, Wujo cleared his throat and said again: "Although there is only theoretical knowledge, and the authenticity is only for guesswork-but I probably like you."
