In the dark world of black and white, Gao Wen, Amber, Betty, and an unknown wild mage are sitting in the shacks, with Betty’s just-made lunch in front of them - simple Bread slices, fried sausages, and some vegetable soups.
It's all colorless, like old black and white photos.
Gao Wen didn't mean to change the food in front of his eyes. Although he could indeed cook in the shadow world, he really couldn't be sure of the consequences of his living human being (probably) if he ate something in the shadow world.
Amber and Betty next to it did not move the knife and fork.
The wild mage across the table did not urge them. He just silently ate the food in front of him and looked very quiet.
A strange tacit understanding lingers in the wooden house.
The first thing to break the silence is Gao Wen: "How long have you been here?"
"It’s been a long time," said the Wild Master, putting his knife and fork down, and he looked polite. "From the second year I left the Secret Society, I settled here."
“Have you been a member of the Secret Society?” Gao Wen asked unexpectedly. “I thought you were always a wild mage.”
“I was originally a second-level member of the Secret Society,” said the wild mage quietly. “I am a lame speller according to the standards of the Secret Society. I am good at calculation and reasoning, but lack it to transform it into a spell model. The ability, in other words, my level of casting is always in the first stage, such a Master, in the secret law will be unpopular."
"So they drove you away?" Amber felt incredible. She knows that a real mage is very valuable, even if his level of casting is very lame - just for the masters of the secret law, in the eyes of ordinary people, even a mage who can only release a small fireball is also unacceptable. Big men, even if these grassroots casters are not valued in the secret law, they will not be swept away.
"I left myself," Wild Master shook his head and turned to look at Betty. "For my daughter, I have to leave in order to cure her."
Betty squinted at the wild mage and then nodded.
Gao Wen did not do more entanglement on this issue, but stared at the eyes of the wild mage, holding the hilt of the long-winged sword in his right hand and slowly said: "You should know what we are doing - we don't have Too much time can be wasted."
The stiff and dull expression of the wild mage finally changed slightly. His body shook a little, then he bowed his head: "...Guest, I don't really understand what you mean."
Betty looked at Gao Wen a little nervously: "Master?"
Gao Wen frowned, and after a moment he took his hand off the blade of the Blazers' sword. He slowed his breath: "Take a wait."
The wild mage bowed his head and continued to eat his own meal in a quiet and silent way. His only extra action during the eating process was to look up from time to time and look at Betty next to him.
The food is finally finished, and Gao Wen cannot wait indefinitely.
The wild mage ate the last bite of sausage, and then carefully cleaned the soup in the soup dish with a piece of bread. He finished the meal and looked up at Betty's direction - but his eyes did not focus on Betty at all. But focus on more distant places. His body swayed and seemed to be standing up, but he struggled several times without success.
Finally, Betty helped him up.
"Dad, I am leaving," the little girl held the arm of the wild mage and confirmed that the other party stood still before releasing her hand. She moved to Gao Wen's side in a small step. "Miss Rebecca and Mrs. Herti are still waiting for me. - And the lord is here too."
The wild mage's lips twitched, and finally nodded lightly. His expression had calmed down and he carefully explained: "Don't mess with the things that strangers give." "Go to sleep on time." "Remember to listen to the teacher." "Do not fight with other children."
The brilliance of reason is gradually fading from the eyes of this poor man, and Gao Wen knows that all he is talking about now is a proverb.
Although he had not been awake much before the whole process.
The figure of the wild mage gradually faded, but in the darker shadow, there was suddenly a flame-like thing burning. Gao Wen had been waiting for this moment. He quickly pulled out the sword of the pioneer, the blade. There was a faint glimmer of light on it.
Amber quickly pulled Betty into his arms and caught the girl's eyes in time.
Gao Wen pierced the sword into the flame of the wild mage's chest. The flame violently shook. The wild wizard who had already turned toward the evil spirit suddenly stopped transforming. The illusory figure quickly re-solidified into a solid, and then the flaming flame swallowed up. He, and burned his whole person into a horrible coke.
After burning for half a minute, the body was completely wiped out.
The sound of rubbing and rubbing came from all directions, and the cabin quickly disintegrated after losing the owner. The cracks in the eyes filled the walls and the roof, and the pale light of the outside world was spilled through the cracks on the board. In the house.
Gao Wen took Amber and Betty and ran out of the house quickly, and just as they ran out, the wooden house collapsed completely.
The collapsed wooden house ignited a fire in front of their eyes. The fire lasted for a short time, as if it were not a wooden house, but a paper house.
While the wooden house gradually turned into ashes and drifted with the wind, Amber suddenly pulled Gao Wen’s arm and pointed at the foundation of the wooden house and screamed: "Hey! Look at that!"
Gao Wenjing looked and saw that under the ash of the wooden house, a flashing line was brightening, and the light passed through the floating ash, which gradually formed a complex and huge structure - it was a large-scale array. appearance.
"This is probably the highest achievement of the wild mage in this life," Gao Wen nodded slightly. "Probably it was this problem that caused the law to fall into this situation."
During the speech, Betty's figure began to gradually turn into a floating light spot, which flew two times in the original place, and then quickly flew in the direction of Gao Wen and Amber.
Amber looked down at his hands, and the hands that had turned gray were re-emerging, and as the color returned to her and Gao Wen, the rejection of the shadows became more apparent. .
Some of the shadows are condensed from the scent of the surrounding mist. They are completely devoid of form, but they are obviously not good. The native residents in the shadow world finally smell the atmosphere of the outsiders, and some of the things in the shallowest layer come out. It is gathering like a hyena that smells bloody.
"We must withdraw!" Amber said to Gao Wen, "This place does not welcome us!"
Gao Wen finally looked at the ruins of the hut and took the glowing lines and symbols into his mind. Then he pulled the arm of Amber: "Go!"
After a brief dizziness, the real world scene once again appeared in front of him.
The fog of grievances has dissipated, the jungle has returned to its original appearance, and Rebecca and Herti, who have already taken off their forces, are supporting each other under a tree. The Byron Knights supported the body with a long sword and barely guarded the two women. Next to the owner, the two soldiers who survived have fallen to the ground.
Betty should be the best of all people - she is standing in front of Rebecca with her pan, as if this dull expression has solidified on her face.
When Heti saw Gao Wen, he immediately supported the body and stood up: "The ancestor - it's great that you are safe!"
Then she saw the amber followed by Gao Wen, and her face turned subtle: "Is this thief not running away?"
"Hey! What do you mean by this difference!" Amber suddenly picked up like a cat who had stepped on his tail. "I told your ancestors that you just went to the shadow world and died in a lifetime. You are so good! Old woman in the brain..."
Hetiwan didn't think that the thief lady dared to face the street with her own face. It was not easy to look at her face: "Stop! It is rude! You know what it is like to offend the nobility..."
Gao Wen quickly inserted in the middle of the round: "Don't make a noise, amber did not lie, we just did solve the crisis together - of course, she is behind her chest is really her fault..."
The scene was quiet for a little, and Rebecca raised her hand cautiously: "Ancestral ancestor, just amber, a total of such a derogatory term was also given to you..."
Herti’s face is in love.
Gao Wen: "..."
Fortunately, Heti is also a person who knows the general body. He has not been entangled in these small problems for too long. After Gao Wen explained the things that happened before, all misunderstandings will disappear.
And what Gao Wen and Amber saw in the shadow world surprised everyone. Even the Byron Knights who couldn't understand the magic couldn't help but listen for a long time.
After all, this is an unimaginable experience.
"Can you actually enter the shadow world?" Herti's first concern was the special ability of Amber. She looked at Amber with a suspicion and looked up a few times, as if she had to see the answer from Miss Half Elf's face. "Only The high-level wizards of the shadow system or the shadows of the gods of the gods have this ability. How do you do it?"
Amber doesn't look over his face: "I am the goddess of the night goddess?"
Herti stared at her: "Don't make a noise, can a goddess be beaten by Byron with a common steel sword?"
"Forget it, don't ask," Finally, Gao Wen prevented Herti from pursuing the bottom. "I have promised that she won't pursue this - she will naturally say when she wants to say."
The great ancestors of the Great Heaven and Earth are the biggest, Gao Wen is so open, and Heti can only choose to pay off his mark.
"First bury the dead," the fog dissipated, the warmth returned to everyone, and everyone saw a little bit of physical strength. Gao Wen got up and came to the soldier who died because of the broken soul." He also fought bravely and should be buried like a warrior."
The two surviving soldiers looked at Gao Wen with some surprise.
Gao Wen is puzzled: "Why, what am I wrong?"
"After he was a serf," the Knights of Byron came over from the side. "It was the Earl of the Earl who issued an order. His sons of serfs had the opportunity to enter the territory of the army and serve to redeem them. But he had just served for half a year, so he It is still a serf status, and such an identity cannot be buried as a soldier."
Gao Wen frowned and looked at Rebecca: "Is this the case?"
Rebecca immediately became nervous as if he had done something wrong: "I am sorry... but I think the serf system is really not... not very reasonable, so let them redeem them by serving. I know that this is not the rule. but……"
Gao Wen’s brow stretched out slightly: “No, I didn’t blame you.”
Then he bent down and fumbled for a coin from his arms and stuffed it into the chest pocket of the dead soldier, placing it in his heart.
The coin was hand-placed by Charles I when he was buried six hundred years ago by Gavin Cecil.
Amber realized what it was at the moment he saw the coin, then blinked his eyes: "Mom... at least half of the manor..."
However, Gao Wen himself did not know anything about it. He just finished these things according to the rules in memory. Then he clap his hands and stand up: "Now someone redeemed the debt of his soul and buried him."
Byron slightly hesitated: "But the rules..."
Gao Wen glanced at him: "I am the rule."
