Chapter 181
The two rows of conveyors in front of the main entrance of the Edros Palace, which are almost contemporary buildings of the palace, have a history of thousands of years. The platform is extremely strong. Even in the most dangerous first mage war of the mage association, it has not been broken at all. Only the passage of time has stained them with some ancient color. In the long history of the mage world, countless mage footprints have been left on each platform, and these footprints have witnessed the rise and fall of the mage association. After the widespread spread of magic, until the invasion of the Cretans more than 500 years ago, the Mages' Association has been developing steadily. Thousands of people enter and exit these transmission arrays every day, which can be said to be extremely busy. However, in modern times, due to the loss of most of the personnel, it has long lived up to the grand occasion of the day, especially during the mage war. Meanwhile, the transmission array is in a closed state, and it is extremely troublesome to get in and out. It is almost enough to have twenty-three people a day. And in the past six months, this has been the case. Although there are many people in the square, most of them are apprentices who come to practice magic, as well as teachers who guide them. There is no one on the conveyor platform.
At this time, the white beam of light suddenly rose to the sky, and then gradually dissipated in the air. Two people appeared on the conveyor on one side, a 25-year-old young man, a 17- or 18-year-old girl, a white robe, the other in a black dress, with a very similar temperament. For these two people, no one in the mage world knows. They have always been regarded as legendary figures. At that time, the apprentices stopped their magic and cast curious eyes on them. They whispered constantly. Several teachers did not scold, because they were also wondering why did these two people come?
Wang Qi looked around casually and didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction. He just wondered: "Why didn't the people of the Adros family come to greet me? Do you know that I have sneaked here before and don't need to point out the direction?" After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing. Just as he was about to rush north, he saw a man in his fifties flying this way quickly. This man has brown hair and black eyes, with clear edges and corners. He is a relatively different gray robe with black lines on it, which is beautiful and simple, giving Wang Qi a good first impression. When this man arrived at the square, many mages were surprised, but they didn't talk much.
Wang Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Edros, I was really flattered that you came to greet me in person."
"I invited you here. Naturally, it's reasonable to greet you in person." The man smiled and said, "Yes, the name Adros is easy to cause confusion in the association. Please call me Rockis. That's what everyone calls it."
"Well, Mr. Rockis, what are you looking for for me? We don't know each other. Why did you invite me and now you are so enthusiastic?"
Locriss smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Well, this is not a place to talk. Let's go to my house first."
Wang Qi nodded and instantly rose to three or four meters high with Xiluda. Locris knew that Xiluda could not do magic. Originally, he thought that Wang Qi would take her to fly. Unexpectedly, she flew by herself. First, she thought that the rumor was wrong, and then he noticed the faint light of the ribbon on her arm and suddenly realized. Now the three of them flew north, crossed the town, and came to a forest. In the middle of the forest in the distance, there is a big house, which seems to be older than the Edros Palace. The building materials are extremely ordinary, but because of the blessing of magic, there is no damage. Seeing that it was so ancient, Wang Qi knew that it was mostly the place where Adros lived. The building is concave, and the central courtyard faces south, facing three people. There is a small fountain in the center, surrounded by flowers and plants. Wang Qi's eyesight is much more powerful now than before. Although it is far away, it looks fine. Seeing that there is a large coat of arms on the wall of the courtyard, which is exactly the same as the style on the invitation letter received before, he said, "I heard that the five-pointed star logo of the association is the coat of arms of arms from your family?"
Locriss was slightly shocked. He heard that Wang Qi could not use the Dharma ritual because of his strong mental strength. He looked at it vaguely. Why did he see it clearly? Did he use magic? The tutor's use of this little magic can indeed completely control the magic fluctuation, but Rocris think that he can't see it at all with his own eyesight. These thoughts only turned around in his mind, and he immediately replied, "Yes, the association was founded by his ancestor Edros, and the five-pointed star logo was selected by his students, that is, the first batch of mages of the association."
Wang Qi said, "Why do you use the pentagram? What does it have to do with other religions?"
Locriss said, "It doesn't matter. We used this symbol before anyone else. You know that the symbol of the Temple of the Sun is the six-pointed star, but you may not know that the six-pointed star is also the symbol of the temple. Although the ancestor separated from the temple, he always believes that he is a member of the Cretan family. He originally used a angular hexagram to show his respect for his family, but the coat of arms has changed after beautification and adjustment. You can't see it. If you look carefully, you will find that the five corners are not symmetrical. His students further changed this figure and became today's badge.
Wang Qi didn't know whether he was telling the truth or beautifying his ancestors, but he just expressed surprise. After a while, they fell in front of the courtyard. Locriss greeted the two of them into the main door and went upstairs. He saw a middle-aged man in his forties. When he asked, he knew that it was the son of Locris. Although he knew the life expectancy of the mage, Wang Qi, who was not familiar with the family situation in the mage world, was really surprised. Then I saw Locris's grandson. He seemed to be in his twenties. Although Wang Qi did not use magic detection, he still saw that he also had at least about eight levels. Obviously, the first magic family was not just a loud name.
When he went up the stairs, he saw a painting at the corner. To be precise, it was a magic image. Inside was a man in his thirties, with beautiful eyebrows and excellent temperament. He was a beautiful man. Wang Qi looked at it a few more times and listened to Locris and said, "This is the ancestor Edros."
The living room is on the second floor, which is very spacious. There are several sofas and several crystal tables. Although they are mixed with magic materials, the shape is very modern. There are three doors on the left and right walls leading to the two rooms. Wang Qi glanced at it slightly. There are entertainment facilities and some ancient collections, which are obviously used for For the guests' entertainment. Wang Qi and Xiluda found a sofa and sat down. Locriss sat in front of them and chatted. Locris's grandson came up and gave a box to his grandfather. Wang Qi noticed that it was a closed magic box.
Locriss put the box on the crystal table in the middle and said, "We should have come to you in person, but because of the special reasons of the family itself, we can't leave at will, so we have to invite you here. The reason why you are invited is to come for this magic box. Our ancestors have tried their best to open it. We heard that your mental strength is far beyond ordinary people, and we have wanted to ask you for help for a long time, but you are still the enemy of the association, and we can't find you. We have been busy for half a year, so we have been delayed until now.
Wang Qi picked up the box and tried to lift the lid, but the box did not move at all. He did not dare to try randomly and asked, "What's inside?"
Locriss said, "It is a book written by an ancestor. It is said that it records some of his original magic, with his spiritual imprint and is protected by a special magic array. No one can open it except himself, but you may be able to break the magic array directly with your spiritual power."
Wang Qi said, "I can try it, but I can't guarantee whether it can be opened or not, and no one knows whether this box has a self-destruction function, in case it is accidentally destroyed..."
"It doesn't matter if it is destroyed. Anyway, we can't find a way to open it. What's more, the magic of more than 2,000 years ago may not be valuable now. We just want to see what is hidden in this box that has been circulating for thousands of years, making every generation of the family helpless."
With his promise, Wang Qi was no longer worried and said, "Well, I'll try it."
He let go of his spiritual power, explored it carefully, and soon found the spiritual mark hidden in the depths of the box magic array. Wang Qi's spiritual power rushed for more than a minute, and even untied the peripheral defensive magic array. Then as soon as he released his spiritual power, he completely wiped out the spiritual imprint. Then the box in his hand opened automatically, but he saw that there was only a folded crystal paper in it. This was someone else's thing. Wang Qi didn't look carefully, but just handed it to Locris.
Locriss rushed out and looked at it as if it had been a bolt from the blue, and his face was stunned.
Seeing that Wu Wu was steady just now, Wang Qi couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What's inside?"
Locriss smiled bitterly and said, "It's the ancestor's love letter. Maybe he felt that his writing was too numb to send it, so he put it in this box."
Wang Qi was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Locris put the things back and thanked Wang Qi. Seeing that the matter was over, Wang Qi wanted to leave. Rockis said, "You have finally helped us a big favor. Just let you go back and we are uneasy. Anyway, we have to give you some benefits. There is a library in our Edros family, which is not open to the public. This time we made an exception for you to go in. It's not my boast. There is really nothing in the whole mage world that can be compared with my library except the association.
Wang Qi wanted to refuse before, but when he heard a word in a book, he swallowed the words. I don't know how many ancient books they have collected for thousands of years, and this is exactly what Wang Qi needs. He thought to himself: Maybe I can find some early history in it. Aedros is a person who has been in direct contact with Aingrass. If I find his record, it will be of great use to me. So he said, "Then I won't refuse. I just want to check something."
