Chapter 4 Arrival at Narca

Probably due to overwork, Kai Wen lay on the grass tossing and turning, unable to sleep, a feeling of soreness came from all parts of his body, and there was even a little melancholy in his heart.

Lying under the quiet night sky, he couldn't help recalling everything he experienced yesterday. If he hadn't met Logan by chance, would he really be able to pass through the jungle behind him?After he arrives in Caldari, will that old man really keep his promise?

Why do I have a blank memory?Where is the family?How long will such luck last?Where will his future go.

One question after another kept bothering Kaiwen, and there was no definite answer to each question.

However, whenever I think of my mother, whom I have never met, I feel an inexplicable warmth in my heart. It seems that this warmth has always been with me, never leaving and never stopping.

Although there are some things that make him feel confused so far, but this can't stop him from yearning for his family. He very much hopes that one day he can reunite with his family and understand his life experience and the parents he has never met.

Putting aside these depressing questions, a beautiful silhouette appeared in Kaiwen's mind, and a silly smile appeared on his face, how lucky he was to be able to meet To such a beautiful and kind person.

Will we see her again?What should you say when you meet?Perhaps the old man's promise was no longer important to him at this time, but the smile on Tyre's face was the belief that supported him to go on.

With all kinds of fantasies and longings, Kai Wen gradually fell asleep.And in his sleep, Kaiwen seemed to hear the whistling of the wind, and also the chirping of birds. He also seemed to be floating on the clouds, like a bird soaring in the sky.

In the early morning of the next day, Kaiwen opened his eyes dimly, and then he stood up and looked around, only to find that the jungle behind him had disappeared, and there was no sign of Logan around.

Looking into the distance, he saw a sea of ​​flowers growing on the plain, and a refreshing fragrance filled the surroundings. This was the first time Kaiwen had seen such a beautiful scenery, and he couldn't help being stunned for a while.

"You're awake." Just as Kaiwen was looking around, Logan's voice came from next to his ear, and then Kaiwen looked back, and saw Logan walking slowly with a pile of dead wood and a corpse of a monster come to him.

"Mr. Luo Gan, where have you been?" Kaiwen was startled when he saw this, and quickly walked up to him.

"I went to get some food." Logan smiled lightly, put the monster's body aside casually, and said with a smile: "You should be hungry, we will have something to eat later." While speaking, Logan arranged the dead wood in his hands neatly, and then set up a bonfire.

Looking at the corpse of the monster, Kaiwen couldn't help but think of what happened last night, and the bloody scene made him feel very scared.

But when Logan peeled off the monster and roasted it on the bonfire, Kaiwen threw the fear of last night out of the sky.

He has never had a full meal in three years, and now he is even more hungry.

Seeing that Kaiwen couldn't help wiping his saliva, Luo Gan couldn't help laughing twice, then pulled out a dagger from his bosom, cut off a piece of meat, handed it to Kaiwen, and said, "Eat it, I know you're starving, but there's nothing to eat here except monsters."

Looking at the meat that Luo Gan handed over, Kaiwen swallowed reluctantly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo Gan, you should eat first, I'm not in a hurry."

Hearing this, Luo Gan immediately smiled, and said: "Your body is still very weak, even though you are open to eating, you don't need to be polite to me, after all, I can't eat so much by myself."

At this point, Kai Wen was no longer polite, and after a nod in response, he started to eat hungrily.

Seeing that the corners of Kai Wenzhi's mouth were dripping with oil, the smile on Logan's face suddenly became wider, and he said slowly: "Not far away, we will arrive at Narca City. If there is no accident, you can start tomorrow." Go to Caldari for trials."

Kaiwen, who was eating vigorously, was stunned for a moment, and a look of difference appeared on his face, and he asked in doubt: "How could it be so fast? Didn't you say that Caldari is far away? But we can't get there now It's just a day."

However, Logan just smiled mysteriously, and did not answer Kaiwen's question, but changed the topic and said: "When you arrive in Narca City, ask my old friend to prepare some clothes for you, and let him take care of them for you by the way." Take a moment, so as not to be laughed at by other children when you go to participate in the trial."

Hearing this, Kai Wen's heart suddenly felt warm, and he felt that walking with Logan was definitely the most correct decision in his life.

Or maybe it was because he had never experienced such warmth before, Kaiwen's eyes turned red unconsciously, until the tears fell on the back of his hand, he looked up at Luo Gan, and said very sincerely: "Mr. Luo Gan, thank you The help you gave me, if I can succeed in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

Seeing that Kai Wen was so serious, Luo Gan couldn't help being startled, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Don't think about it so much, let's eat first."

"En." Kaiwen responded softly, and he deeply remembered Logan's kindness in his heart.

After the two finished their meal, Kaiwen and Logan continued to walk towards Narca City, and Kaiwen's complexion improved significantly after eating.

As time passed little by little, at sunset, the two finally arrived at the city of Narca.

Looking inward from the outside of the city, the city of Narca is brightly lit and bustling, and a towering ancient clock tower is also very eye-catching.

After entering the city of Narca, the small merchants on both sides of the street were also constantly hawking. Kaiwen suddenly felt that this place had a more simple feeling than the strict imperial capital, and the customs seemed to be much better than the imperial capital. .

Because since the two entered the city, many people gave them alms, ranging from scattered copper coins to small melons and fruits. After all, from the appearance of the two, they looked like two beggars. It's a pity that all the alms from those kind-hearted people were rejected by Luo Gan one by one.

Then Logan took Kaiwen through the streets and alleys of Narca City, and came to a manor in a short while. He pointed to the gate of the manor and said with a smile: "The owner of this house is my one." An old friend, I came here to meet him."

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, because the whole manor looked very magnificent, which made Kaiwen even more curious about Logan's identity, because it might be difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with such a wealthy family.

But Logan didn't give Kaiwen a chance to ask questions, so he directly pulled him towards the gate of the manor.

However, the servant in charge of the guard frowned immediately after seeing the appearance of the two, and was about to speak, but saw a strong man with a big arm and a round waist walking out of the courtyard. After seeing the appearance of the two, he couldn't help being startled, and then smiled lightly , Slowly said: "You two are here to beg, right? Please wait here for a while, I will go get you some food." After speaking, he turned and walked into the courtyard.

"Wait." Seeing this, Logan called him back, then took out a bell in his arms, and said with a smile, "Butler Kanna, don't you even recognize me?"

Hearing this, Kana couldn't help being startled, but when he looked back, his eyes were fixed on the bell in Rogan's hand for an instant, and then he quickly walked in front of Logan, looked at it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Rogan Mr. Gan!? It’s you!? But you, what’s wrong with you?!” While speaking, he turned his eyes to the servant at the side, and ordered: “Go and inform the master that a distinguished guest is coming! Go!”

"Yes." The servant hurriedly ran towards the clock tower after hearing that it was a distinguished guest.

At this moment, Kaiwen was already stunned, he had never expected that the other party's attitude towards Logan would be so respectful, which made Kaiwen more and more curious.

"Let's go in." Logan patted Kaiwen lightly, and then walked directly into the courtyard. Karna also smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Kaiwen.

When Kaiwen saw this, he was at a loss. He had never been treated like this before and he didn't know what to say. After thanking him briefly, he followed Logan all the way to the manor.

"It's been more than ten years since we left each other. If it weren't for the bell just now, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have recognized you. So please don't blame me, sir. I just don't know where you have been for the past ten years, why there is no news at all. "Kana sighed softly and led the two of Rogan into the main hall of the manor, but the excitement on his face and his words and deeds showed respect for Rogan.

"It's a long story, so it's inconvenient to bring it up again." Logan sighed softly, found a seat and sat down casually, and pointed to the seat beside him to signal Kaiwen to sit down. Turning his gaze to Kana again, he said slowly, "How is Kom? Is there any entertainment outside?"

"Master has already resigned from his job as the president of the chamber of commerce, and he hasn't had any social activities." Kana shook his head with a wry smile, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said, "It's because Madam has been away from home for 18 days. Today happens to be another anniversary, so the master has gone to the clock tower, you can wait for a while and he will come back."

And following Kana's voice, there were bursts of vigorous bells outside the house.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four bells rang one after another. Although he didn't know what the meaning was, Luo Gan, who heard the bell, showed a look of melancholy on his face, and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that After so many years, he still can't let go, this kind of excessive persistence is really not a good thing for him."

Hearing this, Kana couldn't bear to let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: "The master has a deep love for his wife, and it's not easy to let go. Besides, the wife has been away for 18 years. Let alone the master himself, even us servants have been there for a long time." I am looking forward to my wife’s return home and reunion as soon as possible.” While speaking, Kana bowed slightly to Rogan, and said respectfully: “Mr. Greet him, please wait a moment."

"Go." Logan nodded with a faint smile, and then watched Karna leave the main hall.

After Kana left, Kai Wen looked around. The surrounding decorations were grand and luxurious, but his gaze stayed on a mural not far away. He saw a young and beautiful woman painted on it, behind her It also has a pair of wings, and the silver crown is depicted with gorgeous brilliance, and the long sword in his hand is pointing directly at the distant sky, giving people a sense of inviolability.

"Mr. Logan, who is that person? Is it your friend's wife?" Kaiwen blinked curiously at Logan.

However, Rogan just glanced at the mural, then retracted his gaze, frowned and said, "No, she is Kaila, the king of the gods, and the real master of the court."

"Is she a god?" Kaywen looked at Kayla on the mural curiously, and always felt that Kayla's face seemed to be seen somewhere.

"It can be said that." Luo Gan nodded thoughtfully, and frowned: "But most of the gods are people who have reached a certain level of cultivation, because they have done many things that cultivators cannot do, and She is also one of the heroes who fought against the Eldar invasion tens of thousands of years ago, and it can be said that without them, we would not have our current world."

"So she's still a hero." Kaywen looked at Kayla on the mural with some admiration. Although the word "hero" was a bit far away to him, it couldn't affect his reverence for the hero.

"Hero?" Logan glanced at Kai Wen meaningfully, but there was a little complicated color in his eyes, and sighed softly: "Yes, maybe she is indeed a hero to most people."

However, when the two were talking, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked in quickly accompanied by Kanna. The appearance of the other party seemed to be the Kom they had mentioned earlier, and the other party After seeing Luo Gan, a touch of excitement appeared on his face, and then he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Gan's hand, saying: "Mr. Luo Gan, you are finally back."

"You don't need to be so polite." Logan waved his hands with a light smile, and said with a smile, "But you, Kom, haven't changed much in the past ten years, but I'm already old."

"Sir, you are joking. If you change your clothes, I am afraid that you will look better than before." The middle-aged man chuckled, then turned his head and said to Kana: "Hurry up and prepare some clean clothes? Hurry up and arrange for the servants to prepare them." The banquet welcomes Mr. Rogan."

"Just make some simple preparations, and you don't need to spend a lot of trouble." Logan smiled lightly, then turned his head to look at Kai Wen, and said, "Actually, I came here for him today."

Hearing this, Kom was stunned for a moment. Although he saw Kaiwen when he entered the door, he didn't say hello because he had a different opinion. At this time, he turned his attention to Kaiwen after being introduced by Luo Gan, and the smile on his face remained undiminished. , said: "I saw this little friend before, but I don't know what to call him?"

"Kaiwen." Kaiwen's appearance was obviously a bit unfamiliar, perhaps because he was a little nervous to be treated so politely for the first time, and he didn't know what polite words to say for a while.

Seeing Kaiwen's shy appearance, Kom suddenly chuckled, then turned his head to look at Logan, and asked doubtfully, "Since you came here for this little friend, what's the matter? If I can do it, I will try my best." And for."

"Actually, it's nothing." Logan shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "I happened to meet Kaiwen on the way here, so it's a fate for me. If it's convenient for you, prepare a talent crystal for me." , by the way, bring a few changes of clothes to help him tidy up, because tomorrow I will entrust you to send him to Caldari."

"So that's the case." Kom nodded lightly, and then ordered: "Kana, arrange for someone to meet this little friend, and buy a talent crystal and some new clothes by the way."

"Yes, master." Kana replied respectfully, walked to Kaiwen's side, and said with a smile, "Master Kaiwen, please follow me."

Hearing that Kaiwen didn't move, but looked at Logan who was sitting beside Kom.

Seeing this, Luo Gan just smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Go with him, pack up well, so as not to be laughed at by other children when you go to participate in the trial."

"Yeah." Kaiwen nodded lightly, and then followed Karna out of the main hall.

After watching Kai Wen leave, Kom turned his gaze to Logan again, and sighed softly: "Sir, I have a question and I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

"Ask." Logan picked up the water glass on the side and took a sip, calmly as if he already knew what the other party wanted to ask him.

"Why did you leave in the first place? Caldari is your painstaking effort." Kom looked at Logan curiously, and asked the doubts that had been accumulated in his heart for many years.

"It's not about hard work, it's just that I have a different opinion with Hogg." Logan sighed lightly, with a bit of vicissitudes in his eyes, and said slowly: "The purpose of establishing the academy with him was also the same. It's just to preserve human civilization. Although we have different opinions on the choice of some things in the end, he still did it, so I have nothing to say about it. Besides, I would rather spend the rest of my life in one place. I went to see all the beautiful mountains and rivers, so it was destined to leave.”

"I see." Kom nodded in response, but his face inadvertently showed a look of sadness, and said: "If possible, I also want to travel to the beautiful scenery of the outside world, but because of trivial matters, I can't I have free time, and Aaron needs to be taken care of, I really hope that this life will never happen again." Speaking of this, he also felt that the topic was a bit heavy, so he changed the topic and continued: "But this time you come back, do you intend to take over Caldari again? "

"Actually, I don't plan to come back, let alone take over the Caldari again." Rogan shook his head with a chuckle, and said slowly: "Although Hogg's things are extreme, he's doing pretty well overall. There's no need to disrupt his plan, and I don't want him to know that I'm back, you should understand what I mean."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't leak the news." Kom understood but smiled, and said: "Then sir, do you want this talent crystal because you want to see the talent of little friend Kaiwen? Could it be that you want to accept him as a gift?" only?"

"Yeah." Logan chuckled lightly, and sighed: "To tell the truth, I did intend to take him in as my disciple, but someone else has already taken him first."

Hearing this, Kom's face was startled, and he frowned and said, "How is this possible? Is there anyone else in the world who is more qualified than you?"

"It's Hogg." Logan picked up the teacup at the side and took another sip.

After hearing Hogg's name, Kom's expression froze slightly, but soon he laughed again, saying: "I didn't expect Hogg to have the same vision as you, but he seems to have taken in an apprentice named O Wei, it is said that he is very talented, and he can be regarded as one of the best geniuses in the academy, but he is a bit arrogant and arrogant, and he does not want to associate with people of low birth."

"Oh?" Logan looked at Kom with great interest when he heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "Since when did you actually care about him?"

"Sir, I worry too much. I never inquire about his affairs." Kom waved his hands with a light smile, but a soft smile appeared on his face, and said, "I just hear Aaron often mention things in the academy. That's all, so I'm a little worried that that little friend will be squeezed out after going to Caldari. After all, Caldari is not what it used to be. Let Aaron pay more attention to prevent him from being bullied."

"That's not necessary." Logan waved his hands with a faint smile, and said slowly: "It's not bad for him to experience more. Although Hogg has always strived for perfection, he also knows how to measure, so you and I don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Kom frowned and hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although that is the case, I am afraid that this little friend will delay his future because of being bullied. In my opinion, you might as well accept him as a disciple directly, or In my own name, I asked Karner to bring a letter to Hogg so that he could pay more attention."

"You don't need to bother about Kaiwen." Logan took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "After all, master and apprentice are just titles, and if he is really depressed because of some small setbacks, then in the future It is also difficult to become a master, so everything in the future needs to be chosen by himself, and using external force to interfere will only be counterproductive."

"Sir, you really have good intentions." Kom sighed softly, then turned his gaze to the door, and saw Kana walking in slowly, holding a transparent round crystal in his hand.

"Master, sir, I'm back." After Karna greeted the two respectfully, he put the crystal in his hand on the table beside him, and said slowly: "These days Caldari is Recruitment, so it took too much talent crystal, and I borrowed this crystal from Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, and I also sent someone to deliver the clothes to Master Kaiwen."

"Thank you." Logan smiled and nodded to Karna, then turned his gaze to Kom, and continued: "You mentioned Aaron earlier, I wonder how he is doing in Caldari?"

Hearing that Rogan mentioned Aaron, Kom's expression suddenly became extremely gentle, but a little helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he smiled wryly: "Aaron's grades in the academy are mediocre, just like his mother's natural playfulness, I often go to the mission of the mercenary group with my friends in the academy. We had a big fight because of this a few days ago. After all, every parent hopes that their children can grow up safely, and this group of people involved in the world A child who is not deep doesn't understand the dangers of the human heart, so if an accident happens, I really don't have the face to explain to his mother."

Hearing this, Luo Gan couldn't help laughing, and persuaded softly: "It's a child's nature to be playful. He will grow up one day. It's a good thing to experience something while he is young. After all, you can't take care of him forever."

"I hope so." Kom sighed helplessly. After all, being a parent is self-aware. Raising children is not such an easy task, let alone he only has one person.

On the other side, Karna ordered the maid to bring Kaiwen to a hot room with a sink and some utensils needed for washing.

Afterwards, the maid handed the whole set of clothes to Kaiwen, and said respectfully: "Master Kaiwen, these are the clothes that Butler Kanna prepared for you. If you have any other orders, just call me, and I will wait outside the door." you."

"Thank you." After Kaiwen nodded and thanked, he took the clothes, then closed the door, and began to take off the armor on his body clumsily and put it aside, and the already tattered clothes inside were also taken by him. He threw it on the ground casually.

Looking around, Kai Wen clearly saw the scars all over his body through the mirror at the side, and suddenly felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he didn't know who to tell it to.

Gathering his mind, Kaiwen walked into the pool stepping on the overflowing pool water, and then a sense of comfort wrapped in hot water flooded Kaiwen's heart.

Looking at the petals floating on the pool water, he felt very comfortable in his heart. He gradually stretched his body, lying on his back in the pool, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of tiredness gradually made him fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, until there was a knock on the door, and Kaiwen opened his eyes dimly.

"Master Kaiwen, have you finished washing? The master and Mr. Rogan have been waiting for you for a long time." Shortly after the knock on the door, Karna's voice came in.

"Oh! It will be ready soon!" Kai Wen hurriedly responded, and was about to leave the pool, but saw that the originally clear pool water had become extremely muddy, and even a trace of bright red blood could be seen on the water surface.

Seeing this, Kaiwen couldn't help smiling wryly. After hastily washing his hair and face, he put on the clothes prepared for him in advance, and then held the armor in his arms. When he opened the door, he saw that Kanna was with him. A maid stood outside the door.

But at this time, Kana looked at Kaiwen with a strange look, which made Kaiwen's face turn red, and he looked at Kana with a little dodge in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I made the water dirty. "

Hearing this, Kana couldn't help being startled, and then followed Kai Wen to look at the pool water, and saw that the water in the pool was full of muddy, then chuckled lightly, and said, "It's nothing, this is for you. So you don't need to care, but I don't know what to call you now."

Hearing this, Kaiwen couldn't help being startled, and looked down at the mirror placed beside him, only to see an incomparably moving silhouette in the mirror appearing in front of his eyes, with long black hair hanging down his shoulders. His dark eyes were deep and moving. If Kana hadn't asked him about his identity, even he would have thought that standing in the mirror was a slim young girl.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Kaiwen couldn't help touching his face in a daze. In the past three years, he had never seen his own face. This also reminded him of his parents who had never met. What kind of people, have they really loved themselves like others treat their children?

"Master Kaiwen, are you alright?" Karna called out softly when he saw this, but when Kaiwen looked back at him, his eyes were already blurred with tears, and he was a little puzzled, and said: "What sad things did you remember? ?"

"No, nothing." Kaiwen shook his head with a light smile, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a smile, "Let's go, didn't you say that Mr. Logan is still waiting for me?"

"Well, please follow me." Karna nodded, and then led Kaiwen all the way to the main hall.

At this time, Logan was chatting with Kom, and Kaiwen walked in between the two, and his eyes turned over at the same time, but after seeing Kaiwen's appearance, Koum couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face. Rong, who didn't know what to say for a while, passed his eyes to Kana several times to confirm, and then smiled and said: "Little friend Kaiwen is really a good-looking talent." While speaking, he turned his gaze to the side Seeing Luo Gan frowning, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and said, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"It's so similar, it's so similar." Logan muttered to himself, but the solemn expression never faded from his face for a moment.

"Too similar?" Kom looked at Logan with a puzzled face, because he had never seen such an expression on Logan's face.

"It's nothing." Logan shook his head, stretched out his hand to beckon Kaiwen, and said, "Kaiwen, come here and put your hand on this crystal."

Hearing this, Kaiwen nodded in response, then walked to Logan's side, and put his hands on the crystal beside him, but the strange thing was that the crystal remained motionless without any change.

"What's going on here?" Kom looked at Logan beside him suspiciously, and frowned, "Could it be that this crystal is broken?"

"It's Kaiwen who doesn't know how to use it." Logan smiled lightly, stood up and walked to Kaiwen's side, and said slowly: "Close your eyes, concentrate on one point, and feel it with your heart."

Hearing that Kaiwen didn't speak, he just nodded lightly, and then slowly closed his eyes. Although he didn't know what it meant to feel with his heart, he still followed Logan's words and slowly concentrated his energy on his hands. above.

As Kaiwen gradually concentrated, the crystal also had a strange change. A black mist slowly appeared in the crystal, and gradually overflowed from the crystal like a stream of water flowing out around the crystal. , and gives a cold feeling.

"Dark element?" Kom frowned immediately when he saw this, and pondered: "Our world has always admired light, and it is difficult for this kind of person with dark talent to gain a foothold. If I remember correctly, he has always been against the court of God. The Soul Eater Hall seems to be a group of people mainly based on dark elements, right? And it is said that Caldari will not accept people with dark elements."

"Yes." Logan also nodded with a solemn expression, and said helplessly: "Actually, there is no distinction between good and evil in elements, and who would want to be called a villain from birth? It's just a group of mediocre people who want to achieve their goals." Only then will such remarks be publicized, and the Soul Eater Hall is just a group of poor people forced by the current situation."

"Mr. is right." Kom sighed, and said lightly: "If it can be treated fairly, there will be no Soul Eater Temple, but why does the dark element of Kaiwen have a cold feeling? , Is it my illusion?"
