The magician from the time of peace

When Felix awoke, his new lover was sitting beside his bed, eyes downcast, a thin fire snake darting rapidly between his fingers, but if you looked closely, you could see the fire snake and There is no contact between the skins, it is suspended in the air, flying out of thin air.

As soon as he moved his hand, Merris reacted and held the fire snake in his hand. His white hand seemed to be coated with some strange fireproof material. The lifelike fire snake disappeared in an instant, and even a trace of heat Not much left, which made Merris frowned slightly, but quickly restrained his expression, and smiled at him: "Are you awake?"

Felix nodded. His temples were still throbbing and painful, and his hands and feet were not working hard, but this was a normal phenomenon caused by excessive fatigue. Staying up all day is commonplace - so I don't really care about it.

In comparison, he has more concerns: "What's the matter with your flame? It shouldn't be this temperature."

"You are too sharp." Merris chuckled. He opened his hand and chanted a series of short incantations before the fire snake climbed onto his finger. For him who made the protective film of the entire ship, it can be called a rarity.

Merris tilted his head and said, "Would you like to try it? I want to know if the cause is on my side or on this island."

Felix didn't say a word. After a while, he made a "tsk" sound and made a gesture with his hand before it condensed into a small ball of water.

"It seems that we have all been tricked." Merris narrowed his eyes: "Even so close to the sea, the activity of the water element is so low. It seems that those two 'goddesses' who hate magic really on this land."

Felix turned over and stood up. Even in this situation, he still insisted on dipping in the condensed water just now, drew a simple magic circle on the robes of the two, cast a cleaning technique, and then helped Mei Reese straightened his messy bangs, met his smiling eyes, and dropped a light and short kiss.

"Let's go." Felix brushed his hair, his gentle expression faded from his face, and said with a sneer, "We can talk to those two goddesses about this matter."

Merris was a little worried: "You really don't need to take a break?"

"Need." The black-haired magician stretched out his arms, a feeling of exhaustion like maggots clinging to the bones kept pouring out of his body, but he didn't take it seriously: "When we come back, I must sleep well You can't call me all day long."

"Okay, I get it." Merris curled up his mouth helplessly: "You are really acting out of love."

"It took us more than ten years to get rid of elementary magic's reliance on spells and magic circles. As a result, these two women have made our practice for so many years useless. If we don't drag them out of their lair and beat them up, I can't swallow this breath." After saying such a long sentence, Felix pushed open the door with a bad expression, and strode out.

"Ah, ah, ah." Merris sighed for someone, and followed behind out the door.

------

There was a person squatting outside the door, and when he saw someone open the door, he jumped up and burst into laughter: "This little brother——"

Before he finished speaking, he was startled by Felix's face, swallowed the rest of the words abruptly, and changed his address: "Uh... this sir? Your companion has already gone Those two houses, I came here specially to see if you need help."

"Give me fifty sheets of paper and two pens." Felix ordered very naturally. The paper and pen he carried had long since flown somewhere, and if he looks for them now, he can only find them soaked in sea water. With the remains of the past, he can't use magic fluently now, so he has to rely on the help of foreign objects.

"That..." The young boatman rubbed his hands. Before he could speak, Merris put a small gold coin in his hand and said with a slight smile, "I'm sorry."

The boatman was stunned. He had obviously looked at this face all the way, and the faces of those two were too beautiful to be picky, but he never thought that what he thought was the pinnacle of beauty, when paired with a sincere smile, would turn out to be beautiful. People can't take their eyes away like this.

A displeased look shot from the side, he came back to his senses, and clenched the gold coin in his hand: "You two gentlemen, wait, I'll go get it right away!"

There is no high-end paper on the remote island, but Felix did not force it. He took the white paper, handed half of it to Meris, and walked to the beach by himself.

Everyone else is going to where the two are, so this man who looks fierce is going to run against everyone?The boatman wanted to break his head but didn't understand, so he shouted: "If you are going to that white house, don't break anything!"

"Understood, thank you." Merris replied with a smile, he put away the pen and paper, and slowly followed Felix.

At this time, the sun had risen completely, and the glare of light was reflected on the calm sea. People couldn't help but wonder if yesterday's violent storm was just an illusion.

Felix's feet were submerged in the sea water, and the waves came up from low or high ground, but he spontaneously avoided the hem of his clothes as if he had a spirituality. He held the pile of paper in his left hand and quickly drew a magic circle with his right hand.

Merris glanced at him, and also took out a pen and paper, but felt that there was nothing to write, so he drew a few circles casually, and finally got bored of waiting, and began to observe the surroundings silently, and wrote something on the paper. A long string of numbers, bowed his head and counted.

When he came up with the last number, Felix just walked back from the sea, and the water drops automatically receded from his soaked shoes, taking away the fine sand stuck to his shoes and refreshing them It was clean again, he divided the stack of papers into two parts, and put one away by himself: "Although there are some restrictions here, as long as you stand in the water, you can still use magic normally, and even on the shore, the element is more active than the water." It was much higher in the house just now, and it seems that the source of the disturbance is indeed inside that white building."

"I think so too." Merris casually burned the paper he wrote on, and the fine ashes were swept away by the sea breeze and dissipated into the air: "Have you done your preparations?"

"Yeah." Felix nodded, then split the stack of paper in half and handed it to Merris: "This is part of my fixed low-level magic, if the activity of the elements there is so low that even you can't use magic , then use these."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not necessary, I'm always with you, and I can definitely protect you."

Merris couldn't help laughing, and didn't point it out, just said: "Okay, you are the best."

When they came to the white cube, the door had already been opened. The two doors that opened inwards were as high as the whole room. They had to look up to see the top of it. I don’t know how their companions pushed it so big and so heavy. of a door.

"There must be a mechanism hidden somewhere, I don't believe I can't find it!"

Agnes' voice came from inside the house, followed by Foster's weak words: "You've been searching for almost an hour...how about we wait for the two of them to come over and look again."

"You mean, apart from actual combat, I'm not even as good at alchemy and understanding of goddesses as they are?" Agnes snorted coldly: "I dare to say that I can't find anything, They're even less likely to find."

"We really need to rely on your knowledge in alchemy," Merris interjected with a smile, "Dear Ms. Agnes, please allow us to join your team and contribute our modest strength."

"You guys are finally here!" Foster was very excited, and after being kicked by the red-haired lady next to him, he still held his waist and insisted: "The three of us really can't help it, you see Lamb is on the other side. Wait until you fall asleep!"

The brown-haired knight was holding the sword and dozed off because it was useless. When he heard this, he immediately raised his head, and when he realized that it was Meris, he smirked.

After Merris smiled at him, he focused his attention on this room: this is a fairly wide space, it has no partitions, no walls, and no load-bearing pillars, and it can be seen at a glance from the door Looking at every corner of the house -- it can also be seen very clearly that there is no so-called goddess in this room at all.

In other words, this room is not like a place for people to live at all, it is more like a square that can accommodate thousands of people - of course, this is only from the structure of its house, from the actual use, the two goddesses abruptly The square has been turned into a waste station for sundries. All kinds of books are thrown in the corners without any care.In addition to books, there are also some strange parts and damaged glassware, all of which are covered with dust, forming a sharp contrast with the white and beautiful appearance of this building.

Merris looked around the whole house, walked slowly towards the middle, and Agnes, who said she didn't need their help, quickly introduced the situation: "This is what we saw when we came in, there wasn't even a living thing, and there wasn't even a living thing. Not to mention Lord Nell and Lord Vera. I guess if this is really their residence, then with their abilities, it is very likely that they have designed a certain mechanism secret passage. This room is probably just an entrance, so we have been Find a way to open the mechanism. But unfortunately, this place is too messy, and we couldn't find anything."

Merris nodded slightly, and began to walk around the edge of the room, squinting at the graphic on the interior wall.

"There are some patterns on the walls inside, but I think it's just the same as the external reliefs, purely for decoration, and I touched almost every pattern, but nothing happened." Eggs said: "I think the inside It is very likely that the organ made by Master Er needs to be opened with multiple touches, so it will take a lot of time to—”

"Huh." Very rarely, Merris interrupted her when someone was talking. He looked slightly surprised at the two-thirds of the figure covered by piled books on the wall.

Felix leaned over, squinted his eyes for a while, and said, "This thing looks familiar."

"If I'm not mistaken..." Merris smiled wryly, and put the book as a cover aside, so that the totem occupying a small half of the wall was fully exposed to everyone's sight.

It was a half-winged eagle, with piercing eyes and a sharp beak. Under its claws, a thin sword and a staff were intertwined to form a cross, and a circle of exquisite and elegant letters was engraved around it. It was covered with a layer of light gray, but the unstoppable aura of that eagle could still be felt.

"I think I've actually seen it," said Felix, turning to Merris: "Do you know him?"

"Of course..." The handsome magician curled his hair and said in confusion, "This is the crest of the Demarca family—that is, my family..."
