Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1046 Act 373 Imperial Rainstorm VIII
In fact, Jita realized that something serious happened the moment the magic book was suspended.The magic book under her gaze had some kind of connection with her in some way, and she was very familiar with that feeling—the coherent construction of ether, and after that was the first trial—the confluence of ether, and the synchronization with the magic book.

The silver light flowed on the title page of the book, forming bundles of surging beams of light, lifted it up to Miss Naturalist in a flickering light, like a feather, floating up and down.

Then there was the second trial, the ether flowed like mercury in the void network, and the two tributaries merged into one—the magic guide book was unsealed.

The light was melting between the title pages of the book, as if an invisible hand gently opened it, and the metal pages became soft as if melting, one page after another was opened, but the pages were blank.

The last is the confluence, to complete the personality shaping of the magic guide book in its own ether theory, to cast a throne on the spider web, and to build Poti in the tide.

The school Jita is engaged in is "Center of the Stars", thousands of stars revolve around the central main star, slowly rotating like a galaxy.And in the blank star area in between, a brand new constellation is rising with raging flames.

The opened page was blank. Jita hesitated and stretched out her hand. A quill made of light appeared between her thumb, middle finger and ring finger. She wrote her name on the page with the tip of the pen:
Jita-Lindelphilis, the latter is my magic real name, I am already the master of Guriel's grimoire, why did you call me here?

Faint ink marks appeared on the blank pages, and the graceful handwriting was winding to form words:
"What kind of magic book is that, its owner is—"

Time outside seemed to stand still, and only one person and one book remained. Jita wrote with a quill in her hand:

'Guriel, the Book of Time. '

A wind blew up in the invisible space at some point, causing the pages of the book to squeak, and Jita saw the black-haired girl smiling slightly.

A hand stretched out from behind her, pressed gently on the back of her hand, and clung to her pen, causing the words she wrote to change, distort the words, and form a new sentence underneath——

……

In the purple sky of Lotao, thunder of fright and wrath flickered, and countless lightning bolts intertwined and descended from the midair, reflecting in the midair of the city.

This scene, like the wrath of thunder from the saints, did not cause any panic in the city. Every year when the rainy season comes, this storm will always bring such thunder, and people have long been used to it.

It's just that in the steeple, the great sage watched the falling thunder one after another. The snow-white thunder light reflected on his face, and the shadows between the wrinkles continued to deepen. Every time he tried to write something, the words on the scroll kept changing.

Sometimes they gather and form, and sometimes the ink disperses into a plate of quicksand, just repeating, no matter how he tries to modify it, the words on the long scroll will always converge into that sentence:
'Time blows the sand and dust, and the new replaces the old; what is in the soil always sprouts, just as everything must be born again, the book of life'

Sturton's white brows furrowed.

He waved his sleeve, and a few drops of ink flew out from his pen tip, rippling in mid-air, forming a few lines of text:

'Why the Book of Life? '

Those few lines of text twisted and changed:

'Shadows will come, and the dead will rise. '

The sage looked at the changing text in the long scroll and asked in a muttering voice:

'Is it related to the incident at the Hill of Giant Trees? '

But the text is silent.

After a while, they changed into another picture:
'The Tower of Silver will fall, the Empire will change—'

In the deep library, countless voices are echoing, old, stale, young, determined, lamenting, and angry.Those voices are intertwined with each other, humming and humming, and there are many discussions:
"The orbit of the stars has changed, and new constellations have been born in the starlight of the sea of ​​ether. The previous prophecy has been fulfilled, and new visitors are ushered in on the road of knowledge."

"In the Empire?"

"In the Empire."

"Has a new magic book been born?"

"No, it's Karlier's—no, this time it's the Book of Life." The voice corrected a second time.

"How come, that book..."

Sturthorn turned his head and interrupted all the conversations with a majestic voice: "Silence, everyone. The prophecy that reflects the millennium has come. After the Numelin elves left for 230 years, Morpheus, I want you to go immediately—"

"To the Empire?" asked a shrill voice in the darkness.

"No," Sturton stared between the clouds, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the drastic changes in the etheric sea there, and a slit was split in the flash on the sea surface-he saw a certain area of ​​the second world there, and a ray of shining starlight.

That starlight is passing through the etheric sea.

The great sage replied word by word: "Go to the hill of the giant tree, go to Sanciel, and tell the little princess that her sister has been resurrected."

Thunder flickered among the churning clouds, and an eagle's cry came from above the steeple.

Then a giant black eagle flapped its wings and flew out from the high tower. It circled a few times in mid-air, and then passed through the intertwined lightning and flew towards the distance.

……

In the dark space.

Jita was turning her head in a daze, and saw a beautiful side face. The girl closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her long hair hung down like black sandalwood from the side of her snow-white face, reflecting each other's beauty.

Clumps of thorns grew from below, wrapped around her slender body, climbed up her chest along the long skirt, and her slender neck, among which roses were in full bloom, brighter than blood, and the sharp thorns pierced the porcelain white skin, leaving a bloodstain.

The mysterious girl was very close to her, and the breath she exhaled lightly landed on the side of Jita's face, which was slightly itchy. Miss Scholar's skin was very tender, and her face turned red all of a sudden.Even as a girl, she has never seen such a good-looking person.

Miss Scholar blushed and wrote tremblingly:

'Who are you--'

The girl didn't answer, she held her hand and wrote rustlingly on the page:

'You are the master of this book, from now on, I will protect you. '

The tip of the quill pen held in Jita's hand changed, and wrote:
"But I'm already the owner of a magic book—"

'There has never been anyone in history who can hold two books. The owner of the magic book is not just a power, but also its recorder and writer. They use their lives to compose this legend.But two different books should not have the same story. '

The text changes again:

'I cannot be by your side in person, but I will choose a knight for you. '

Jita was slightly taken aback, and suddenly looked into the hall.

Since the disappearance of the magic book, the hall of Karlier has been in chaos. The psions have cast multiple spells, but they don't care about the newcomers. The turbulent magical energy has rushed the chosen ones into a mess.

Luther is not bad in comparison, he has some strength, no better than those newcomers selected from among the college students, but the panicked crowd separated him from Tracy, and he had to summon his own construct to barely gain a foothold.

He noticed that some Psionists had quietly exited the hall, and this discovery made him a little surprised—what were the people from the Karlier family doing, and why did the magic book suddenly disappear?He looked up at the big snake, but was suddenly startled.

He saw that Trixes had left the crowd at some point, and had already walked to the side of the big snake.

How could Trixis be there?

Could it be that all these changes have something to do with her?
The young man's mind changed sharply. Everyone in the hall seemed to be possessed by a demon. Except for him, no one else found out about it.He looked up at the Viper's Eye in mid-air, only to be shocked to find that the Viper's Eye had been staring at Trixes from the very beginning.

That gloomy gaze made him shudder a little.

He vaguely felt that something might have happened, and wanted to shout anxiously, but the hall was full of people at the moment, with panic screams everywhere, as well as angry reprimands from Psionists. Someone caught the fleeing person and was loudly asking him about the whereabouts of the magic book.

But most of those who were caught looked blank.

He shouted Trixis's name loudly, but the girl couldn't hear the movement in this direction at all. She only walked to the side of the mythical giant snake, and then stretched out her hand towards the soft scales of the opponent's abdomen.

Trixes didn't know why she did that. After she was separated from Luther by the crowd, she was pushed all the way to this direction. After all, she was just a goblin envoy. In terms of her own strength, she was actually not much different from ordinary people.

But after finally breaking away from the crowd, she realized that she had followed the crowd to a corner of the hall, which was far away from the exit, but on the contrary, she was very close to the big snake named 'Pandoras' in Luther's mouth.

It was originally near the high platform where the magic book was placed. At this moment, everyone avoids this direction. Only a few psions stay nearby to guard. The strange thing is that those few people looked in the direction of the exit of the hall, as if they didn't notice her at all.

This discovery made Trixes curiously look behind them—where the big snake was, but after seeing it, she couldn't look away anymore.She saw that cold and secluded gaze staring at her, as if directly piercing her own heart, the whole world was elongated, and the sound, picture and all five senses were far away from her.

There is only a faint echo left in the darkness, as if those childhood memories, a gentle voice is constantly calling her forward.

The curiosity that arose in her heart was driven downward together with that strange magic power, and Tracy walked forward in a daze, turning a deaf ear to Luther's shout behind her.She only came within a short distance of the serpent Pandoras, and held out her hand.

The moment the girl's fingertips touched the giant snake's scales, a white light rose from the joint. Under Luther's gaze, both the white light and Trixis disappeared without a trace, just like the disappearance of the previous magic book.

It was as if she had never existed in that place.

No one in the hall noticed this scene except him. Those psions seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and they focused all their attention on the periphery of the hall, ignorant of what happened behind them.

Luther was anxious, and he didn't know where to squeeze in that direction with a burst of strength. There were people blocking him, and he couldn't control that much. He ordered his construct to throw everyone who stood in front of him.

The movement he caused was finally noticed by the others, and the psions leaned in and pinned him firmly in place with a spell.

The guards rushed over, including a member of the SOLID alliance that Luther knew. He was immobilized by the spell, but he could shout to those people: "I am Luther, Trixis is missing... I saw her disappearing next to the snake with my own eyes!"

The people who came here naturally recognized this FOX student. Although Gray Field and the Sacramental Guild are in a competitive relationship, the private relationship between the high-level executives and the players is not bad, and the one in front of him is even more important, and is often called Tracy's little follower.

His appearance doesn't look like a fake.

The members of the SOLID alliance stopped and searched around, but they couldn't find Trixes for a while.Someone came over and asked him: "You said Tracy is missing, could she have left this place, what did you see just now?"

The person who asked the question was a psion from the Karlier family. Luther ignored the offense of the other party's words, and just looked straight at the place where Trixis disappeared, "She is there, use spells to check."

The psionist was startled, turned his head, and looked at his colleagues.

……

But in the dark space, the phantom of the girl only existed for a short time.

Then the gentle arms that embraced her gradually lost their sense of reality, and the girl turned into a phantom, passing away like sand and gravel. Her image gradually became illusory until finally disappeared, and everything returned to silence and disappeared.

And at that moment, Jita felt a huge suction coming from behind her, pulling her away from that illusion, the darkness quickly faded from her vision, the whole world receded, and finally turned into a thin line.

From the boundary separated by that thin line, another world was born, a dark, small room.

Ms. Ling Scholar quickly saw the environment she was in. She did not know when she returned to the place just now, the room where the shrine was placed. She still stayed in the same place, but the giant snake and the corridor had long since disappeared.

There is only one crystal in front of him, shimmering with light.

The twilight reflected the stone statue of the girl, with long hair hanging down the shoulders, eyes closed, surrounded by bushes of thorns, roses and poisonous snakes grew out of it, symbols of life and death, but she no longer returned to the usual gentle words in the illusion, but turned into a cold sculpture again.

But there is only one exception.

The strange magic book was suspended in the space, the metal cover gave off a cold light in the darkness, and the thick pages depicted wild roses entangled by poisonous snakes, with sharp thorns and dripping blood.

Books are life.

When the giant book hinges, life also ends.

Under the thick cover of the book is a majestic magic power, which comes from different inheritances of each era.

This magic book was both unfamiliar and familiar to Jita, as if she had seen it in a long time ago, held it in her hand, and wrote on the page with a pen, responding to the familiar touch.There was also a voice that accompanied her during that time, and then everything faded into silence.

And in the silence, the existence of the magic book itself proved that everything before was not an illusion.

She held the book in her hand, and a surprised voice came from behind:

"Gita?"

Jita was also slightly taken aback, and turned her head to look at Trixis who appeared there through the thin lenses of her glasses.

Trixie was frowning, with a strange expression on her face, and a worried look on her face.She suddenly let out a cry: "Why did I sign a contract with you?"

Miss Scholar's mind sank, and she quickly found the imprint in her spiritual world. The imprint had never been approved by her, but it connected her with the girl in front of her.

Cui Xisi's complexion is becoming very ugly: "What kind of contract is this? Why are the terms of the contract so strict, I can't leave you too far, otherwise I will lose the family of Starlight. What do you mean, doesn't that mean that I will be driven away by this world?"

She felt as if she had been tricked by someone, "Who are you kidding who made this contract? Even Saint Eury couldn't do such an outrageous thing. I have a contract with the club. How could I be with you?"

But when she lightly touched that imprint, the shock from her soul almost knocked her out of her wits.Tracy stood there in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses, and gradually looked at Jita with a look of fear:

"This...what the hell is going on?"

"Are you all right, Miss Tracy?" Jita shook her head lightly, she couldn't explain the mark clearly.But when she looked back at the statue, she probably understood that it was the masterpiece of that girl, but she still didn't know who it was.

"...I can't go with you," Tracy was flustered. "Besides, we are not from the same competition area. This is against the regulations of the Super Sports League. Jita... You should understand, or you can accompany me to find other people. They might have a way to unlock this mark."

Jita shook her head, "I'm sorry, Miss Tracy, I can't do it."

How could the purpose of her coming here to meet other people, Brita was still unconscious and in danger at any time.Even Tracy, she can't guarantee that she has nothing to do with those fraternity killers, and she can't trust everyone in the underground.

If Cui Xisi is really innocent, then she can only wrong the other party first.

"But..." Tracy really panicked, leaving this world is nothing, but if she can't return, it is unacceptable to her.She has just obtained the qualification to go to the Hall of the Holy King. All her pride is in the world behind the star gate. She is a little panicked: "I..."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tracy, this imprint was not my intention," the scholar lady said softly, "but I'm sorry I can't accompany you now, if we can leave this place smoothly, I promise you will find a way to help you remove this imprint."

"Really?" Trixes seemed to grab a life-saving straw.Anyway, now her life is tied to the other party, and after signing such a contract, the other party does not seem to need to lie to her. If this mark has nothing to do with Jita, it is the best news for her.

Now she was afraid that the other party wanted to control her through this mark.

If that's the case, she might as well leave this world and return to the star gate, but if there is a chance, she is not willing to do such a decisive thing.

Tracy lowered her head a little dejectedly, "Then according to the contract, I will protect you for a while...Miss Jita. But then again, Miss Jita, why are you here? Where is that guy?"

She suddenly reacted and asked.

But Jita didn't answer her immediately, but immediately opened Gulier's magic book, and placed three protections in front of her.The radiance of magic diffused from her body, and then Miss Scholar looked forward vigilantly, and a figure was walking in from the entrance of the room there.

When Trixis saw the other person's face clearly, she couldn't help but subconsciously said: "It's you, you are the warlock from the Carlye family, I remember your name, your name is Lailayet?"

Jita also recognized the other party at this moment. She had the ability to almost never forget, and naturally recognized the other party at a glance as the young mage of the Serpent's Fang family they had met once in the Nozpitz underground.

At that time, she vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be aware of her existence, and now this person appeared here, was it also because of this?

But the young mage didn't even look at Trixes, and stared straight at Jita, looking at the two magic books in front of her, with a strange light in his eyes, and then the light fell silent, gradually turning into a sincere and sincere look.

"As expected of that man's student," he said, while putting his hands on his chest, bowed his head and bowed gracefully to Jita, "Dear guest, please come with me, the Karlaye family has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Lailayat!?" Tracy was dumbfounded.

Even Jita was stunned.
