Chapter 510

As if the movie had been paused, the picture in front of Mu En was frozen into a black and white photo.

An old and deep sigh echoed in his ears.

"What did you find?"

"A little shadow, but not real." Mu En looked at the senior Anna who was still real and couldn't tell the fake one.

"...Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"

"I won't guess wrong, because senior sister won't hurt me."

"……Innocent."

The voice was stunned for a moment, and then cursed directly:

"You are still stupid. You are still acting emotionally at this time. Isn't your correct approach to ensure your own safety first and then determine the surrounding situation?"

After hearing this, Mu En's expression became more and more indifferent, and her tone gradually became less friendly:

"I don't know which old gentleman is joking with me, but this is the Holy City. If the joke goes too far, it's not good."

"……well."

After silence, there was another heavy sigh.

Mu En felt dazed for a while, and then warm sunlight fell on his shoulders, dispelling the chill just now.

The world regained its color, but the scenery took on something different.

He was now in a strange courtyard. Not far away was the mansion he had just seen. The senior sister was leaning against the wall, waving to him gently, the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was familiar and gentle.

The flowers and the little girl naturally did not exist. Instead, there were two old men with wrinkles and white hair who looked extremely old.

"Hello, Moon Campbell."

One of the old men took off his hat and said:

"I am Huogu Srewelch. I am the leader of the illusion school in the Tower of Origin today, and at the same time... I am also the teacher of Elager."

49. Purpose

"Elag's teacher?"

Neither the Tower of Origin nor the School of Illusion could shake Mu En's mind now. However, after hearing the other identity of the old man in front of him, Mu En still shrank his pupils, tightened his muscles, and suddenly grasped the handle of the knife.

Elager died by his own hands, with no body left. This big shot who was his teacher suddenly came to his door. Could it be...

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to seek revenge."

Huo Gu suddenly sighed, and an invisible wave blew like a breeze. Mu En felt that his heart was cold, and the vigilance and murderous intention that had just been gathered were all eliminated invisibly.

Even the "desire" to draw a knife has been eliminated.

"This is……"

Mu En couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if she had returned from the ice and snow to the warm sunshine of early spring. All the external senses and the internal mood had inexplicably improved. The tit-for-tat atmosphere suddenly turned into a harmonious reunion of old friends. .

The mental interference level of psychological suggestion far exceeds that of previous Elager.

The black flames swayed, and a burst of clarity flashed in Mu En's eyes.

But this time he was not in a hurry to take action, because at this time he also discovered that the old man in front of him did not have any murderous intention. Even between the old face, messy beard and hair, all he saw was fatigue and deep emotions. Hidden pain.

If a leader of a school, a genuine truth-level magician, really wanted to kill him, he might have died in a sweet dream without knowing it.

"It's just a little trick, including just a little joke. If it really offended you, then I apologize to you."

Huo Gu put his hat on his chest and actually bowed his head and apologized to Mu En, a junior. This made Mu En quite surprised and uncomfortable.

After apologizing, his words were filled with emotion:

"You can actually detect an abnormality in my illusion. Elager did not lose unfairly. It seems that I really have nothing to complain about."

"It was just a fluke."

Mu En was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief:

"Actually, I didn't find any flaws in the illusion. I just unconditionally trust my senior and know that this is a holy city that will never let a strong man cause trouble on the street."

Mu En was able to see the shadow behind the illusion, not because the most powerful illusion caster in the world was not worthy of his name. In fact, relying on the black flames and his own strong mental power, Mu En did not catch this at all while noticing the strangeness. The slightest flaw in the illusion.

It is equivalent to knowing that it is a dream but unable to wake up no matter what. This is enough to prove the terror of this old man.

And as he said just now, it was just a trivial "joke". The old man was obviously just testing it at will, because truly terrifying illusions are always extremely sweet and beautiful, and can make people indulge in them unconsciously. .

If what Mu En experienced was all an illusion, then he would have died on that big bed full of soft and fragrant nephrite last night.

"Do you believe it unconditionally? This feeling is amazing, but I heard that you also have a fiancé who is a princess..."

"Ahem..."

Mu En coughed quickly to interrupt the spellcasting, and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that kind of thing for now. Your Excellency Huo Gu came to me for more than just a joke, and this..."

Mu En's eyes fell on another old man.

He looked quite old, but he was very energetic. The large magician's robe was embroidered with a pattern of a ferocious monster. When Mu En stared at the pattern, the ferocious monster seemed to come to life and glared at him.

"School of Summoning, Dodge Slor."

Contrary to the ferocious monster, the old man looked particularly kind and greeted Mu En with a smile:

"The common name is not worth mentioning, but your name is something I have already heard of when I went to Belland before."

"Not worth mentioning..."

Mu En couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

If Dodge Slor, who is at the level of Tarzan and Beidou in the summoning school, can only call himself a common name, then who is he, the son of a duke? Are you on the same level as a beggar on the street?

However, after learning the identities of these two old men, Mu En was slightly shocked.

It's not that he has a bad mentality, but that he suddenly encountered two truth-level magicians blocking his way on the street, which would make anyone tremble.

"Don't worry, as I said just now, we are not here to cause trouble."

Dodge comforted Mu En with a smile, and then glanced sideways at Huo Gu, who looked sad and hesitant next to him. Looking at this rival and damaged friend who had been fighting with him for most of his life, he sighed softly in his heart, and suddenly slapped him with a palm. On Huo Gu's shoulder, he said to Mu En:

"This old guy is so coy, let me say it for him - Moon Campbell, he is here to apologize to you."

"Apologize?"

Mu En was stunned and blinked in confusion.

what's the situation?

In that short moment just now, Mu En thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that this high-status truth-level magician would actually come to apologize to him in person?

"...Yes, I'm here to apologize to you, Moon Campbell."

Huo Gu murmured with his chapped lips, but finally gave a desolate and wry smile, took off the hat on his head again, and bent down to apologize to Mu En.

This time, he bent deeply.

"The church announced to me some things that happened in Canterwell, so I, the teacher, sincerely apologize to you for what Elago did."

"Ah, that's it...get up quickly."

Mu En quickly supported this old man who, although he had advanced realms, was so old that every part of his body was rotten and visible to the naked eye. He sighed and said:

"Some of them are the evil god's fault, so they have nothing to do with you, so why should you?"

"He is my disciple and the most proud disciple. I taught him how to control other people's hearts, but I forgot to teach him how to control his own heart, so that he was invaded by evil gods. This is my responsibility, and I dare not shirk it. ”

With slightly trembling hands, Huo Gu took out a small gift box from his arms and handed it to Mu En:

"It's a small way to make up for it."

"No……"

Mu En shook his head: "Just your apology makes me feel flattered. After all, I can still stand here well. I can't accept it..."

"Take it, Moon Campbell."

Dodge on the side suddenly interrupted, looked at Mu En, and said seriously.

"You should take it."

"..." Mu En opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"Yes, take it."

Huo Gu's old face twitched, and the scattered age spots looked more and more clear. He sighed dullly again, and the pain in his eyes was clearly visible:

"It is precisely because you can stand here properly that I can apologize. And how can I apologize to those innocent girls who were killed by Elager?"

"Innocent girl..."

The pale and painful face of the female head that Elage had stuffed into her chest appeared in Mu En's mind.

Yes, the living can still make amends, but what about the dead?

Their souls have been devoured by the evil god, who can save them from the pain?

Unable to bear to think about it any longer, Mu En forcibly dismissed the scene and took the gift box:

"Then I...just accepted it. What's in it?"

"Star stones are said to be fragments formed by falling stars in the sky. They have the ability to store large amounts of pure energy and are very useful for magicians."

Huo Gu finally forced out a smile and explained:

"And the thing is... it's beautiful."

Mu En opened the gift box, and she saw the brilliant gem lying quietly in the center of the gift box, like a falling star. The beautiful starlight burst out from the gem in an instant, which made Mu En feel a little distracted.

"It's really beautiful."

"Right."

Dodge on the side smiled proudly:

"When I introduced it to the old boy Huo Gu, I said this thing is very suitable for a playboy like you!"

Mu En: "..."

Why does he sound like the ultimate scumbag who uses pretty gems to seduce girls everywhere?

"In that case, let's leave first without delaying your business."

After some pleasantries, Huo Gu glanced at Anna who was not far away meaningfully, and nodded goodbye:

"See you soon, Moon Campbell."

"Goodbye, Mr. Huogu, good-bye, Mr. Dodge."

"Bye bye, but..."

Dodge, who was also saying goodbye, suddenly came over mysteriously:

"Next time we meet, if we have time, we must discuss the magic avenue!"

"Um?"

"Haha, stop pretending, I know very well whose disciple you are."

While talking about how today's young people like to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, Dodge patted Mu En vigorously on the shoulder:

"As that disciple, your magical attainments must be very outstanding!"

Mu En: "..."

…

"Done with the conversation?"

"Senior is good or bad."

Mu En walked forward and grabbed Anna's soft little hand pretending to be angry:

"Are you actually watching me being bullied?"

"Those two don't look malicious."

Anna held Mu En's hand and smiled:

"And there are two great magicians of the Truth Rank. Do you want me to fight them to the death?"
