Chapter 30 Rose Castle 07
Chapter 30 Rose Castle 07
The Magic Academy once again returned to the quietness before the war, and the air still smelled of burning fire. Cohen took a magic teacher and several older male students to clean up the wreckage and bones on the battlefield. A small group of students Standing at the gate of the castle, weeping softly, mourning silently for a teacher of the magic academy who died on the battlefield, making the already heavy atmosphere even more depressing.
Although this fierce battle was won, no one was happy about it, and this night was destined to be sleepless.
The pendant under the crystal chandelier on the roof was jingling by the cold wind at night. The faces of the only seven remaining magic teachers in the academy were all sinking, either standing or sitting, all staring at the one sitting at the front. Principal Churchill seemed to be waiting for his final order.
Gu Yunyi sat on the edge of the fabric sofa in the corner, subconsciously testing the temperature on Ji Xiao's forehead with the palm of his right hand from time to time. Ji Xiao, who was lying flat on the sofa, closed his eyelids and murmured once or twice, as if he was caught in a nightmare. average.
Lucas was impatient, and he couldn't help but said after all: "I agree with Siren's proposal just now. The Rose Army has suffered heavy losses, Leon is dead, and Hoth has lost a capable officer. The Rose Army has strict discipline. The Crusaders must not dare to go back to the Rose Castle to be punished; at this time, the Royal Legion is short of troops, so we took advantage of this opportunity to directly wipe out their lair and kill Horth!"
Principal Churchill neither nodded nor shook his head. At this time, Cohen just walked in from the door, so that everyone's eyes fell on him.
Cohen was stunned, glanced at the crowd, thinking that everyone was asking for his opinion, he simply gritted his teeth, and confronted Lucas head-on: "I don't agree! The Army of the Roses has a total strength of [-], and the number of Crusaders in Leon's hand Less than [-]. At present, the large troops are still stationed inside the royal house. Besides, as you can see, they have invented new types of weapons. We are not their opponents at all."
Cohen: "Even if we can successfully assassinate Hoth, we may not be able to come back alive!"
What Cohen said was not unreasonable. Rose Castle was heavily guarded. Even if he succeeded in killing Huo Si, in all likelihood, he would never return.
Lucas: "It is because they invented a new type of weapon that we must seize the time to counterattack and break the boat. Today is just a lucky escape. What about tomorrow? What about in the future? If you have been passively defending, wait until the day when the Rose Army regroups, It's our time of death!"
Lucas' words stung Cohn into silence.
The scene fell into deathly silence again. Gu Yunyi's eyes stayed somewhere on the ground, as if he had made some important decision. He shook Ji Xiao who was still sleeping next to him with his right hand, and said after a long time: "I'll go .My apprentice is locked in Rose Castle, I have to rescue him. Principal Churchill, please help me take care of Ji Xiao."
Just as Gu Yunyi finished speaking, Lucas immediately interrupted him: "No! Your Tarot card has been smashed by the opponent's weapon. If you go, you can only die. You and Ji Xiao stay in the academy to protect the children Those who are willing to go with me, gather at the gate of the academy in an hour."
After speaking, Lucas didn't give everyone a chance to discuss, turned around and walked towards the second floor, and returned to his room.
Everyone lowered their heads and walked to their respective rooms one after another.
"Gu Yunyi, wait a minute."
When everyone dispersed and Gu Yunyi was about to take Ji Xiao back to the room, Cohen stopped him softly, took him to a corner of the hall, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I suspect that there are traitors in the academy."
Gu Yunyi's eyes twitched, and he looked at Cohen in surprise, but the other party put his index finger to his lips, made a hissing gesture, and then whispered: "We were attacked before we entered the academy last night. In addition to our teacher Ruth, there are people who are colluding with Horth."
Cohen only said this, and did not tell Gu Yunyi his speculation, but took out a piece of kraft paper and handed it to him, saying: "This is the map of Rose Castle, I believe you will need it in the future."
Before Gu Yunyi could ask another question, Cohen brushed off his cloak and went up to the second floor with his head held high.
An hour later, after Gu Yunyi settled Ji Xiao in the room, he went upstairs alone and arrived at the entrance of the college.
I saw six people gathered at the door.
In addition to the expected Lucas and Siren, there are also Cohen and three relatively unfamiliar magic teachers.
Lucas was wearing a bright red cloak, his red hair was blown away by the wind, he straightened his back, and his red eyes were extraordinarily dazzling in the night. Although the clothes on his body were a bit worn out, they still looked like a noble prince.
Perhaps Gu Yunyi's footsteps were too heavy, which caught Lucas' attention. He turned his head and smiled at Gu Yunyi, his originally firm eyes suddenly softened, and said softly: "Yunyi, I will definitely take your The apprentice was brought back safely. Trust me."
Gu Yunyi smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, and nodded firmly: "Be careful on the road."
Lucas raised his eyebrows and stared blankly at Gu Yunyi. He couldn't get back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Cohen flew into the sky with Xi Lun on a broom that he came to his senses and said to Gu Yunyi: "If I rescue Tang Xuan, Can you grant me a request."
Just as Gu Yunyi was about to speak, his body trembled involuntarily. He barely stood still. It seemed that an invisible energy penetrated into his body, and his body instantly became extremely heavy.
He rested his forehead with one hand and shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
Lucas frowned and looked at him, his eyes dimmed a bit, took a deep breath, as if mustering up great courage, and said again: "Gu Yunyi, I like you. When I come back, I hope you can give me A chance to compete fairly with Ji Xiao!"
"Dream!" Gu Yunyi said suddenly, and refused Lucas without any hesitation.
After finishing speaking, he suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and looked at Lucas whose face was already blushing in surprise.
He obviously didn't want to speak just now, but he seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and made a sound uncontrollably.
Lucas sighed, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, but his voice was extremely sincere: "Gu, you are the first boy who made me fall in love. I hope you can think carefully and give me a chance. Wait until I kill you Huo Si, take back the throne that belongs to me, and I will let you be my queen in style."
"Toad wants to eat swan meat, so he can't give it away!" Gu Yunyi said again uncontrollably.
Gu Yunyi wanted to cry, so he jumped up and down, wondering if he was suffering from schizophrenia.
Luckily, Lucas didn't know what this sentence meant. After the confession, he blushed, and with a sudden force behind him, the red cloak fluttered in the wind and flew into the dark night sky.
When everyone disappeared into the night sky, Gu Yunyi's eyes turned dark, and he yelled angrily at the empty pasture: "Ji Xiao, did you mess it up!"
Gu Yunyi twitched the corner of his mouth, and let out a playful smile: "Brother, don't be angry, I'm just afraid that the red-haired monster will take advantage of you."
"Come out!" Gu Yunyi tugged on his collar, poked his eyes into his body, and searched for Ji Xiao's trace.
"Don't look at evil, don't look at evil!" He closed his eyes tightly uncontrollably, his hands were held by an invisible force, and they fell from the neckline.
Gu Yunyi was so angry that his liver hurt, he turned around abruptly, and said to himself: "Ji Xiao, come out quickly!"
Through Gu Yunyi's mouth, Ji Xiao said aggrievedly: "I didn't want to go to my brother's body, but I used the soul-calling technique on the battlefield and was backlashed. The soul and the soul were forced to separate, and the soul has been with you. Just now I was afraid You agreed to that red-haired monster because you were eager. Brother, don't blame me."
Gu Yunyi secretly rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, but he felt that Ji Xiao's words were pitiful, and his heart softened for a while, fearing that he would be seen as a lunatic by talking to himself, so he quickened his pace and walked back inside the house.
At this time, Ji Xiao's physical body was still lying quietly on the bed, his cheeks were already flushed red, he instinctively stretched out his hand to check the temperature on the other person's face.
"My brother loves me." Ji Xiao said through Gu Yunyi's mouth, his tone was raised, full of joy.
Gu Yunyi's face turned red suddenly, and just about to deny it, he unconsciously put his hand on his face: "Don't lie to me, my brother's face is even red."
"Ji Xiao!" Gu Yunyi gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
"Don't worry, brother, I never take advantage of others' danger. I also want to go back to my body now, but my spiritual power is exhausted, and I can't go back for a while. I have to rely on your spiritual power."
Gu Yunyi: "..."
Ji Xiao seemed to be able to not only share the same body with him, but also to figure out his mind, and said to himself: "As long as you hug me and sleep all night, there is no need to talk to each other."
Gu Yunyi was almost tormented mad by him, and jumped onto the bed, holding Ji Xiao tightly in his arms like marionettes with both hands.
Gu Yunyi: "..."
Just when Gu Yunyi was about to start swearing, Ji Xiao suddenly recited the mantra of purifying the heart, and when he repeated the mantra for the third time, his consciousness became dizzy. It was not until a ray of warm light broke through the darkness that he opened his eyes in a daze , I felt that I was wrapped in a warm embrace, and a pair of smiling eyes were staring at me steadily.
"Brother is awake." Ji Xiao had returned to his body at some point, looking at him with a teasing smile.
Thinking of what happened last night, Gu Yunyi clenched his right hand and punched, Ji Xiao dodged lightly and deftly.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Gu Yunyi turned his wrist and slapped Ji Xiao on the forehead, "When Lucas comes back, you apologize to him personally!"
Ji Xiao let out a "hiss" in pain, pretending to grin his teeth.
Gu Yunyi wanted to educate Ji Xiao again, but suddenly the door was pushed open, and a familiar voice came into his ears, making him feel the sun all over.
"master?!"
"Tang Xuan?!" Gu Yunyi jumped up from the bed suddenly, the moment he saw Tang Xuan, tears almost welled up in his eyes, and he stroked Tang Xuan's face frequently with both hands, fearing that he might get hurt: "You are okay Did Horth hurt you?"
Tang Xuan also couldn't hold back his emotions. After all, he was a teenager at heart. Tears welled up, and he looked at Gu Yunyi like his father: "I'm fine. I was knocked unconscious in the jade carving room that day. When I woke up, I found yourself in a dungeon."
Gu Yunyi reached out to wipe away the teardrops from the corners of Tang Xuan's eyes, sniffed his nose, and nodded in relief: "Okay, okay. Was it Lucas who rescued you?"
Tang Xuan suddenly stopped, subconsciously clenched the corner of the red cloak on his body, lowered his head, and deliberately avoided Gu Yunyi's eyes.
Gu Yunyi's heart sank, he felt that something happened to Lucas, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Tang Xuan cried out with a "wow", and after choking for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "He... died to save me."
