Dark Light: Magic Betrayed

The night wind blew across Espina's face like a veil, and she raised her head to look up at the stars.

The stars in the sky blink like eyes in the dark night, and the vast river of stars cuts through the dark night, leaving behind a bright sea of ​​stars.

A bright moon hangs in the sky, like a pearl in coral, emitting a charming and tranquil light. The bright moon swims towards the highest point in the starry sky little by little.

As the nine o'clock bell rang, Yi Tianshu picked up a Kongming Lantern and lit the candle below. He closed his eyes and made a silent wish to the lantern. Then he slowly opened his eyes and released the Kongming Lantern, letting it fly slowly towards

Xinghai. His eyes seemed to be full of longing and blessings.

At this time, Espina discovered that one, two, or countless Kongming lanterns were slowly flying into the sky from every corner of the school.

The sky lanterns seem to form a staircase leading to the sea of ​​stars, slowly swimming towards home with people's longing for their relatives far away and their best wishes.

At this time, Espina could not express this beautiful and spectacular scene in words. Espina also picked up a Kongming lantern, closed her eyes and silently made a wish, and then slowly released the lantern in her hand.

Espuna looked at the flying sky lanterns and slowly joined the stairs to return home. An indescribable warmth filled her heart. Is it touching? Is it happiness? Or is it joy? Although Espuna couldn't explain it, she still enjoyed it.

Such a different feeling.

Then she slowly released the Kongming lanterns in her hand one by one.

Kimiro and Feisali looked at the spectacular scene in front of them and made silent wishes before releasing the Kongming Lanterns one after another.

After the four people released the kongming lanterns they had prepared, they sat on the ground and watched quietly as the lanterns flew further and further away with their blessings to their families.

Espuna looked at Yi Tianshu and asked with a smile: "Yi Tianshu, do you people in the magic area of ​​Eastern Middle Earth still have many festivals like this?" Yi Tianshu smiled slightly and poured four cups of tea.

After handing it to Espina, Kimiro and Fesali said: "Of course, there are also Lantern Festival, Spring Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Tomb Sweeping Day...etc."

Espoo took the tea and took a sip. The rich aroma of the tea melted into her mouth and left a lingering aftertaste.

Espuna looked towards the direction where the Kongming Lantern was flying, and asked slowly: "Yi Tianshu... you... what is Eastern Middle Earth like?" Yi Tianshu looked up at the stars and said: "Eastern Middle Earth, there are many

There are many places I don’t have

I've been there. I don't know how to explain it." Kimiro suddenly smiled and said: "Yi Tianshu, just tell me what you know, come and tell me." Fesali also nodded with interest and said: "

Tell us, we all want to hear it."

Yi Tianshu looked at everyone's expectant eyes and took a sip of tea and said: "Okay, this is it..."

Yi Tianshu was born in a place called Shaanyuan next to the Great Wall. His father's name was Yi Chengkun, whose courtesy name was Mengming.

Prevent the resurgence of gluttony.

His mother is an ordinary person without magic, named Wen Qianying.

Once, a 杼杌 beast broke into the world of ordinary people. Yi Chengkun, Yi Tianshu's father, was ordered to capture the 梼杌 beast and then met Yi Tianshu's mother, Wen Qianying. The two fell in love, and Wen Qianying followed.

Yi Chengkun went to the magical world together.

When Yi Tianshu was born, Yi Chengkun asked craftsmen to make a sword that could use magic.

At this point, Yi Tianshu took out his magic wand and showed it to Espina, Kimiro and Fesali. Espina came over curiously.

When Yi Tianshu saw Espina being so curious, he handed her his wand to look at. Espina smiled slightly and took it, holding it carefully for a closer look.

I saw Espina weighing Yi Tianshu's wand and then said in confusion: "This looks like an ordinary mahogany wand, but it is heavier." Kimiro and Fesali came forward curiously after hearing this.

After looking around, I saw that it was indeed an ordinary mahogany wand.

At this time, Espina suddenly thought of something and returned the wand to Yi Tianshu with a very surprised expression. She said with some admiration: "I didn't expect that you actually used the transformation spell on the wand."

Yi Tianshu took the wand, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Indeed, my father thinks it is normal to bring a sword in the Eastern Middle-earth Magic School, but it may become very abrupt to bring a sword in the Western Magic School.

So he taught me how to change the shape of the weapon through the transformation spell." I saw him playing with his wand as he spoke.

Kimiro smiled and said, "Can you let us see what your wand originally looked like?" Espina nodded quickly and said, "Yes, let's see what it looks like."

Yi Tianshu smiled and lowered his head, looking at the wand in his hand as if thinking about something, then nodded and said, "Okay, let me show it to you."

After saying that, he stood up and saw that his right hand was holding the wand tightly, his left hand was open and flat on the wand, and his two hands were close together as if drawing a sword.

At this time, Yi Tianshu suddenly separated his two hands, and saw that the wand originally held in his right hand turned into a sword hilt, and his left hand continued to emit white light. As the distance between the two hands became farther and farther, a sword appeared in front of him.

In front of everyone.

Espina looked at the sword intently. The hilt was made of pear wood, with beautiful texture, neither warping nor cracking. It was inlaid with silver and copper engraved ornaments, which was simple and solemn. The cold light of the sword's body seemed to exude a green light.

It was bright, and there seemed to be some patterns carved on the sword. There seemed to be a character for Yi.

Just when Espina wanted to take a closer look at the patterns on the sword, Yi Tianshu held the sword tightly with one hand and suddenly slapped the end of the sword handle with the other hand. A patterned scabbard appeared instantly and the sword was returned to the scabbard.

, that cold light dissipated immediately.

Kimiro looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, then looked at Yi Tianshu and asked: "You... wow, what a beautiful sword, can I see it?"

Yi Tianshu hugged his sword and sat down, shook his head and said seriously: "No, the sword is very sacred. No one else can touch it except the user himself." Kimiro suddenly realized.

: "Oh, so that's it."

Feisali asked curiously: "Yi Tianshu, what is the name of this sword of yours?" Yi Tianshu looked at the sword in his arms and then looked at Feisali and said: "Longquan Magic Sword."

Espina looked at the sword and recalled the cold air emitted by the sword just now. She couldn't help but whisper: "What a good sword."

At this time Feisali asked: "By the way, Yi Tianshu, what is the Eastern Middle-earth Magic School like? Are there many?" Yi Tianshu thought for a while and said: "There are many schools, but the famous one is Huashan Magic.

Academy, Songshan Men's Magic Academy and Shushan Magic Academy. These three are the best among our schools. But I have never been there. I heard others say that these schools are all on high mountains and each has its own characteristics."

Kimiro seemed to still be thinking about the sword just now and asked: "Yi Tianshu, do all the people in your place bring swords to school?" Upon hearing this, Yi Tianshu chuckled and said, "Of course it's impossible."

I saw Yi Tianshu looking around the three of them and saying: "Actually, we have many other magic instruments there. My sword is just one of them. There are also magic fans, yellow talismans, energy rings, magic bracelets, and magic hair."

There are hairpins and spiritual flutes, there are all kinds of them, and of course there are magic wands.”

Kimirono asked thoughtfully: "I heard my father tell stories about the magic area in the East. He talked about Taotie. And I also heard you talk about it many times. Is Taotie powerful? What does it look like?"

Yi Tianshu thought for a while and then said: "I have never seen Taotie, and my father has never seen Taotie. I heard that the beast king of Taotie was killed a thousand years ago, and those Taotie disappeared without a trace.

"

Yi Tianshu got himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. He said: "But according to the records in the memory liquid, it has the body of a sheep and a human face, with eyes under the armpits. Its face is fierce and terrifying, but its voice is like a baby, and it gathers in groups."

Teams of people hunt everywhere just to satisfy the appetite of the Gluttonous Beast King."

"The Gluttonous Beast King?" Espina asked curiously.

Yi Tianshu said with a smile: "A pure black Taotie with five pairs of devil horns."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the others and continued: "They can devour all living things. As long as they are alive, they will eat them. Flowers, plants, trees, humans and animals are not immune. I heard that the Taotie invaded a thousand years ago and broke through the Great Wall.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of lives were devoured overnight. Fortunately, with the efforts of all the Eastern magicians, they finally killed the Beast King and ended the killing."

Yi Tianshu poured himself another cup of tea, took a sip and continued: "And I heard that the skin of Taotie is very hard, and many magic spells cannot break through its skin, so magic weapons are needed to destroy them more effectively.

"After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at his own sword.

At this time, Yi Tianshu suddenly looked up at the stars and said with great melancholy: "Since then, in order to prevent the resurgence of gluttony, many families have begun to volunteer to join the mission of guarding the Great Wall. Therefore, there are more and more guards on the Great Wall, and at the same time, schools have been

Strengthen magic learning."

At this time, Fesali suddenly asked in confusion: "In that case, wouldn't the school in the Eastern Middle-earth Magic Area be more suitable for you? Why do you want to go to school here?"

Yi Tianshu smiled and replied: "I have asked this too, and my parents' answers are almost the same. They believe that all magic areas should be united and communicate with each other to make magic stronger, because we are a community of destiny and protect the magic world together.

, to resist the invasion of gods and demons.”

Yi Tianshu filled the tea cup but did not drink it. Instead, he continued: "They hope that magicians from all places can understand each other and understand each other's customs and habits. We cannot let ignorance and prejudice cause one area to be against another area."

hostility.

So my parents sent me to this school, which is composed of magicians and different ethnic groups from all regions of the magical world."

After saying that, he drank the tea in his hand.

At this time, Yi Tianshu looked at the tea cup in his hand and then looked at Kimiro and said: "Kimiro, I heard you say that you also have a Great Wall over there, or an ice wall. Tell me, tell us."

When Esporna heard this, she said curiously: "Yes, Kimiro, tell me."

Fesali just looked at Kimiro quietly without speaking. But the curiosity and expectation could be seen in her eyes.
