Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

The vermilion moon hangs in the sky.

The deep ancient castle reveals a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

The sea of scarlet flowers illuminated by the moonlight was not only fragrant but also filled with the smell of blood. The sea of flowers extending under the feet and the blood moon hanging above the castle were all obviously ominous.

However, the color of this world is only this red. In the lunar world, there are far more cold than flowers.

If you look further into the distance, the sight you see is a vast white snowfield with no end in sight, and the boundlessness spreads further into the distance. It is a pale landscape with no end in sight.

"Is it actually the Millennium City?……"

Xia Yuan knows this place.

This is the base built on the Earth by the True Ancestor King, Uo on the Moon, the King of the Moon, Akatsuki Brunstadt, who arrived on the Earth from the Moon a long time ago.

This area does not exist on the surface.

Rather, it is caught between the gap between the inner world and the outer world.

This area is not an inherent barrier, but is similar to an independently developed area, a flat world built by the Moon King. It is also regarded by her as her own palace and the base camp of the True Ancestors.

But why did I suddenly come here?

Although he had doubts, since he came to this world, he had no way to return and could only keep moving forward.

Xia Yuan passed through this sea of white fluorescent flowers, pushed open the door of the castle, and then stepped inside.

This ancient and dark castle full of Gothic style has a sense of darkness and mystery as shown in its appearance. This feeling can bring a considerable degree of security to the Dead Apostles.

Their origins also come from this castle.

Dead Apostles, Vampire Bats, and some strange familiars that cannot be named.

Everything about this castle is just like the vampire legend in Western Europe, with all the elements. In other words, the vampire legend in Western Europe was born precisely because of the Dead Apostles.

"It's a really exquisite construction, and it has a sense of déjà vu in Castlevania."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but shook his head and continued walking deeper into the Millennium City. Some low-level dead disciples who wanted to sneak attack him on the way were also nailed to the wall by the flying silver swords, and then they wailed in pain. Turned into ashes.

His advance seemed to disturb the tranquility of the castle, and a pair of eyes opened in the darkness.

"Who are you?"

It seemed like someone's voice came from deep inside the castle.

The voice sounded a little weak.

"Is it a princess?"

The existence that appeared in the Millennium City, the first thing Xia Yuan imagined was Princess Erquet Brunstad.

"Why does it appear here?"

Yes, why is this?

He is also looking for the reason.

After talking to the gem man, he returned to the study to prepare the next plan to go to the far east. Then he felt a little lacking and tried to close his eyes to rest. After a while, he regained consciousness and found that he was already in the sea of flowers outside the Millennium City.

How did he get here?

Did Gemstone Man use the second method to send him here?

He didn't know the specific reason, but since he came here, He will find out the reason first.

Bai Ji is also one of his targets.

So he replied:"Xia Yuan, a lost intruder."

"Xia Yuan? Is it Yuan... I remember it."

The voice came intermittently.

Xia Yuan also began to explore the interior of the Millennium City.

It can be said that every road in the Millennium City is very deep and complicated, and there are also dangerous traps and ambushes of dead disciples everywhere.

It's just that these dead disciples are all walking zombies who have lost their minds. It seems that they have been starved to the point of unconsciousness. Are they the remnants of the true ancestors who stayed in the Millennium City?

He remembered that they were killed by Roja in Elquet. Before the whole Millennium City was bloodbathed,

Millennium City was an absolutely safe comfort zone for the true ancestors here. It was also a holy place that no magician could break into and destroy, and it was also where they originated. , you can sit back and relax.

However, Roja lured Erquette into a rampage and killed all the true ancestors in the Millennium City, which made Erquette hold a grudge and start an endless pursuit because of the death of his master. There are still some remaining Dead Apostles who lost their minds due to hunger and are still lingering in the Millennium City.

However, this rule was broken today.

Not only did outsiders enter the Millennium City, but they also responded to these attacks. The dead apostles who arrived were simply cleaned up.

As Xia Yuan moved his fingers slightly, the silver sword, which had a strong inhibitory effect on vampires, was like a shooting star. The silver light flashed and brutally harvested the dead apostles lurking in the thousand-year city.

The irrational monsters, this should be regarded as their relief.

Along the way, all the Dead Apostles who dared to attack or ambush were nailed to the wall, and the black flames were attached to the silverware. Next, they all turned into flying ashes.

Haven't they reached the end yet?

After walking for so long, they still haven't reached the depths of the Millennium City, which surprised Xia Yuan.

At this moment, the female voice sounded from the darkness again.

"Leave quickly, Yuan, don't come any closer"

"leave?"

Xia Yuan pondered.

He didn't even understand how he entered here, so how could he possibly know how to leave?

"Who are you?"

Xia Yuan was not afraid, nor did he leave. Instead, he asked about the owner of the voice.

Although he had already made some guesses,

"Me?……"

"my name is……"

【■■■■】

It was impossible to hear the name clearly, as if it was deliberately blurred. But for a short moment, Xia Yuan felt that his eyes became hot, a sense of discomfort appeared in his brain, and the magic power started to operate automatically.

At the next moment, he saw that the scenery in front of him was changing drastically. As if the stars had passed, he saw the figure imprisoned by chains deep in the Millennium City.

"Erquit Brunstadt."

He called her name, and the beautiful figure slowly raised her head at this moment. In the endless confusion, the two of them looked at each other.

Click -!!

But with a burst of harsh sound, His vision suddenly became clear, and everything turned into flying feathers and quickly disappeared from his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the familiar study room, where the information he compiled last night was quietly placed on the table. , outside Gray was knocking on the door, calling him to go have breakfast

"Dream?"

Xia Yuanmo rubbed his hands and thought about last night's trip to the Thousand-Year City.

This dream was so real that he didn't realize it was a dream.

And the ancient castle in the dream was definitely the Thousand-Year City, where the true ancestors lived. The castle is also the place where Erquit Brunstad is imprisoned, and the girl imprisoned in chains is none other than Baiji Erquit Brunstad.

Why did she dream about the thousand years? City, and he met Bai Ji Erquet on the night when Gemstone Weng had just found him. If it was just a coincidence and there was no connection, he would not believe it.

Then the only problem now was to do it to himself. Who was the one who guided me to spy on the Millennium City, or was it someone else?

"Merlin?"

I don't know why, whenever he talks about dreams, he will subconsciously think of the flower magician who is closely related to dreams. He muttered something in a low voice, as if in response to him, there was a letter under the letter left by the gem man. A pale pink flower.

It seems that there is no doubt that this is all known. The guy put the incident in front of him without any concealment.

This is equivalent to admitting that it is. He guided his consciousness to the Millennium City, let himself travel through the Millennium City in his sleep, and met Bai Ji. Did

Gemstone Weng and him send a letter in advance? He is really a nosy guy... but he still counts. reminded myself

"Baiji Erquet Brunstad."

Yue Ji...

Keywords: [True Ancestor, and the Demonic Eye of Direct Death"】

【And... snakes. 】

Looks like this experience will be interesting.

When Xia Yuan was thinking like this

"Boom——"

The door to the study room was kicked open by force.

"Brother! are you in it?!"

Lenice took Gray and rushed into the study room in a panic.

"what happened?"

Xia Yuan glanced at the two people in a hurry and asked with some confusion.

"No...it's nothing, it's just that Gray said that when he went to the room to look for you, he found that you were not there, and he came to the study and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. So we are a little worried about you, so……"Lenis carefully explained her rude behavior of kicking in the door.

Knocking on the door... so to speak, Xia Yuan actually heard a knock on the door. When his spirit just left the Millennium City, he did hear a sound similar to knocking on the door.

It’s just that I was focused on thinking about Millennium City and Arquitet at that time, so I just ignored it.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just slept a little longer"

"So this is ah."

Lenice nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this is really rare. My brother, who never rests much, would actually stay in bed. It's already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Gray said:"Well, yes, big brother." King Arthur asked me to call you to lunch."

It's one o'clock in the afternoon?

Is it already so late?

Xia Yuan covered his head, then nodded and replied:"I know, thank you for calling me. Tell Al for me I'll be there in a minute"

"By the way, and Lenise should have class this afternoon. I will take you to go through the admission procedures later, Gray"

"Ah, okay...Okay, Mr. Xia Yuan."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Gray was a little surprised and asked:"Excuse me, what do you mean by going to school?"

"Go to the Clock Tower for further training, where Lenis is. The teacher arranged for you is named Webber Wilster. Although he looks very unreliable, he is a guy I can trust."

"Eh? Are you going to leave Gray to be taught by your uncle's stupid disciple?"

"Well, it's appropriate to leave Gray to Weber's care. He is now a professional lecturer whose knowledge reserve is recognized by the Clock Tower Lecturer Group. So there won't be any problems, and with my relationship, he can take care of Gray more often."

"Hey, if you put it that way, isn’t that guy also very powerful? It's rare to see such a young magic lecturer. He usually looks weak and it's hard to tell."

"Yes, Weber has never been a mediocre person. He has extraordinary talents, but he is not on the path of magic. Those who laugh at him are short-sighted. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been accepted as a disciple by Teacher Kenneth."

"If it’s more specific, you have to discover it yourself. If you get along with him for a long time, you will be able to discover that guy’s talent."

"Anyway, Gray, get ready, you can meet your future mentor this afternoon. Xia

Yuan patted Gray on the shoulder, and then said with a smile:"You have to work hard in your future studies and strive to become an outstanding magician, Gray"

"OK... OK!"

……

……

Time: Afternoon, after three o'clock.

Location: Courtyard of the Clock Tower.

Weber and Xia Yuan were walking side by side, with Gray beside them.

"Anyway, I will ask you to take care of Gray for me from now on, Weber"

"Although I am not sure whether I am qualified to accept a disciple, but since it is your entrustment, I will definitely teach this child with all my heart."

After learning what Xia Yuan meant, Weber looked at the shy little girl with her head lowered, smiled slightly, and then assured:"And after such a long period of training from Teacher Kenneth, I have made great progress. Yes, it’s not a problem if you just teach a magic apprentice. Don’t worry."

"That's really reliable."

Xia Yuan nodded and continued.

"If you need help with anything, you can call me, or go to the Ore Department to find Teacher Kenneth, or go to the Astronomy Department or the Spirituality Department, and they will help you."

"Okay, I didn’t ask...ah? Celestial Science, and Spiritual Science? How did you get involved with these two subjects? This is nonsense! Does Teacher Kenneth know about this?"

"No, if he knew you were messing around like this, he would definitely go crazy. Hearing Xia Yuan

's words, Weber couldn't help being shocked. He quickly grabbed his shoulders and asked quickly:"Xia Yuan, are you going behind Teacher Kenneth's back and accepting the solicitation of other factions?""

Based on his understanding of Kenneth, if he knew that his apprentice was related to subjects other than the mineral science department, he would definitely get into a rage and then teach Xia Yuan a lesson.

Moreover, Xia Yuan even secretly Accepting an invitation from another school can be called a betrayal. It is an unforgivable thing for any school to betray someone.

Now he can only hope that Xia Yuan does not have too deep relationship with other schools. Now, while Teacher Kenneth doesn't know about it, there is still time to make amends. Hurry up and distance yourself from other subjects, then distance yourself, and finally seek protection from Kenneth. The teacher with a sharp mouth and a heart will definitely not take this matter seriously. sit back and ignore

"Anyway, hurry up and follow me... Wow! it hurts!!"

"Stop imagining things."

Xia Yuan's hand cut interrupted Weber's soliloquy. He couldn't help but sigh:"Things are not as simple as you think. However, Teacher Kenneth also knows it. If you really want to know why, ask him yourself"

"ah……"

Weber weakly covered his head.

Xia Yuan's actions reminded him of the time he spent with the Conquering King.

"Anyway, Gray, I’m leaving it to you. I have some things that I need to handle back to Jidong."

"But you don't have to feel any pressure, just help take care of Gray in terms of studies and guidance. Try to treat her as your student or assistant. In some cases, she can give you unexpected surprises."

"surprise? this girl……"

Hearing these words, Weber was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and carefully looked at Gray, who had his face buried under the cloak.

Then he said hello to the timid girl:"Hello Gray, I am your teacher, Weber Wilster. Please take care of me in your studies in the future... Wow!"

Weber and Gray looked up. Lei's eyes met, and then he saw a scene that shocked him

"Saber!!"

This familiar face, he can't forget even after it turns to ashes.

Even after so long, Weber still remembers his experience in the Holy Grail War. And in that war, King Arthur-Saber undoubtedly left a deep impression on him. Impression. The girl named Gray in front of him was more than 90% similar in appearance to Saber. This was definitely not a coincidence, so he cast an urgent questioning look at Xia Yuan.

"What is going on with this girl?"

"Don't be so nervous Weber, she's not King Arthur."

Seeing the startled Weber, Xia Yuan sighed.

"It is very troublesome to explain these things. I have more important things to deal with now. Let the person involved explain the specific reasons to you."

He said to the air beside him:"Please, Al."

"Well, no problem, Master."

Artoria's figure suddenly appeared next to Weber

"Wow! It actually appeared!! It's Saber!!!"

"Rider’s master, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, is indeed me. King Arthur Arturia has been summoned and reappeared.

Arturia greeted the frightened Weber:"I'm glad to see you again. Xia Yuan has already told me about you. It seems that after the Holy Grail War, you have grown a lot." I believe your king will also be proud of you"

"Ah...hmm."

The brief surprise turned into calm. As long as anything related to the King of Conqueror was mentioned, he would take it seriously.

"Because I promised that king that even if I am alone, I will work hard and become a true minister qualified to follow him."

But... what is going on? Why was King Arthur summoned to the present world again? Apparently according to the report, the Great Holy Grail has been disintegrated.

The shock lasted very short.

It was only a few seconds. Seeing When Saber reappeared, Waver's mood changed from fright to calmness, and finally to surprise.

Because Saber can come back, it means that Rider can also come back...

But his surprise was quickly eliminated by Artoria. interrupted by words

"Although I understand that you have many questions to ask me now, please calm down first, and then find a quiet place, and I will answer them for you slowly."

"Okay, everyone can go to my office to continue chatting, there is no one there."

Webber looked around and realized that it was indeed inappropriate to discuss such a topic here, so he nodded and agreed to Artoria's request.

"Well, could you please lead the way, Mr. Weber.

Artoria nodded, then stretched out her hand to signal Weber to lead the way.

She also added:"I do not exist in the form of Servent now, and I am no longer Saber. You can just call me Artoria.""

"Okay, sabe... no, it's Ms. Artoria, and little sister Gray, please come with me."

"Xia Yuan, you want to come together……"

He looked at Xia Yuan and found that he had disappeared.
