Above The Sky

For a while, a malicious pavement that was almost materialized came.

At the moment when the man probed his hand, Ian seemed to see a mountain trembling, and the huge rock giant hand pressed down in the air, almost unavoidable and unstoppable. He couldn't help holding his breath, and his eyes were dimmed.

Although not everyone in this world is born with the ability to manifest psionic energy, everyone can sharpen their inner will and spirit through hard work, and use their imagination to mobilize their potential in an 'illusory form', bursting out unimaginable power and oppression. sense, even the psionic power of life.

At this moment, the man is using the sublimation technique called 'Void', imitating the coercion of the Titans in myths and legends.

He believed that an eight- or nine-year-old child would never hide any secrets from himself.

But from start to finish, Ian didn't step back.

He didn't move, although he could see that he was indeed surprised by surprise, but it was more of a kind of calmness, a kind of calmness that since he made a choice, he would not regret it.

Therefore, this palm was not actually photographed, but turned into a heavy wave.

He waved his hand in mid-air, and the old knight pretended to be vicious and said, "I'm a wanted criminal in the empire, why don't you hurry up? Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

When he said this, he was half joking and half serious.

He really can't tell anyone his name. If the empire finds out, it will not only be troublesome for him, but the child in front of him will also be affected.

This child is calm, rational, courageous, and may be an empire in the future... He is the backbone of mankind and cannot be involved in those ugly conspiracies.

Children should not be involved in these filthy conspiracies.

"But what's the use of it?" Thinking of this, the old knight suddenly felt sad.

No matter what he thinks, what they think, this world is full of ugliness. Sons will betray their fathers, courtiers will betray the monarch, and followers will betray their dreams.

So they will fail.

He will also be bumpy and wandering, and he has been wanted for many years, until now.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

But Ian's words interrupted the man's lack of self-care.

Recovering from the threat just now, Ian took a deep breath and responded calmly, "You're right that I'm not a normal kid, but you're not normal if I say - you wouldn't do that. ."

At this moment, in Ian's eyes, the golden light released by the gray-haired man was gentle and fiery, without the slightest malice, just a little sadness with regret.

Ian, who keenly grasped the other party's mentality and knew that the other party was his 'opportunity', said without hesitation: "And, what about the wanted criminal? Doesn't this mean that I can help you even more?"

"help?"

Looking up, the man raised his eyebrows and looked at Ian. He said solemnly, "You don't even know my name, yet you know how to help me?"

"Yes."

To this, Ian nodded earnestly: "I repeat, I'm Ian."

The boy put one hand on his chest, bent down slightly, and introduced himself with formal etiquette: "The white people of Port Harrison."

"My next proposal can not only help you, but also help myself."

Saying so, he straightened up, stretched out his hand, and gestured for the man to look to his side.

That was Orsenna's body.

corpse.

After vaguely thinking of something, the man's expression moved slightly: "You mean to say..."

"certainly."

Holding the pitchfork in his hand, Ian replied calmly.

At this moment, the white-haired boy raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head, he said lightly: "To be honest, I just killed my scumbag uncle, he sucked black mushrooms and tried to kill me and sell my brother to the natives. offerings."

"I thought of a way to get rid of him, but this can only solve a short-term crisis, and the troubles caused by killing him are equally dangerous to me."

Bowing his head, Ian's blue eyes stared at the old man.

"Sir, I can see that you are incognito based on your dress and temperament."

He said seriously: "Are you a wanted criminal? It couldn't be better. I guess, you are in need of a new identity now..."

"And I need a new uncle."

"Although you may find it a bit awkward, sir, in fact, you and I both know that this is a good choice for us all."

——Invite an imperial wanted criminal to pretend to be the uncle who was killed by him?

If thirty years ago, hearing such words, the old knight would definitely laugh.

Not ridicule. Instead, I sigh and appreciate Ian's hearty and directness, as well as the tenacity, calmness, and courage behind this choice.

He will certainly gladly agree, and look forward to the scene when the other party grows up and has a good drink with him.

But now, men do not have the freedom and randomness they used to have.

The reason why he still returned to Port Harrison, where he came and left several times after being wanted for wandering for many years, was because of the upcoming "mutations" in the future.

Whether it was the empire or the natives, they didn't understand the true nature of this mutation, so they just panicked and applied for reinforcements and started offering sacrifices.

But the man knew that the sudden big storm eight years ago, and the commotion of many sea beasts before the storm, was the prelude to the true 'mutation' in the future, or the aftermath of the initial leak.

Turning his head sideways, the old knight's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the forest, and he looked towards the sea in the south. Emerald green sea water appeared in the man's eyes, as well as the dark shadow under the ocean.

The shadow is incomparably square, with man-made traces, ancient and majestic, like a mountain range in the sea.

That's why Port Harrison was built here in the first place... it's just that everything has passed, decades have passed, those who knew the secret are dead, and their descendants have completely forgotten all their responsibilities.

"except me."

Men have their own mission.

The fact that he doesn't want to be found out by anyone here, even to help others, is irresponsible for his own safety, and for the safety of those who know his existence, and the Imperial Hounds that follow will Bite everyone involuntarily until they get a satisfactory answer.

But if it's camouflage and lurking...

"……good idea."

Looking at the smiling Ian, after a long silence, the old knight nodded slowly.

He sighed deeply: "It's a really good idea."

Yes.

Disguised as the child's uncle... Although there are many troublesome points to be resolved, compared to the previous life of hiding, always vigilantly chasing soldiers, and not revealing the slightest identity, this is a very cost-effective price.

He is certainly a wanted criminal in the empire, no matter what choice he makes, there is a great risk.

But didn't the child in front of him put himself in danger?

As far as Ian is concerned, he is also a stranger. He just wants to be wary of the other party exposing his identity, and the other party has to worry about whether his life is still in his hands.

In the final analysis, even though Ian holds a magical weapon and is born with psionic awakening, but in the final analysis, he is a child less than ten years old. The source of life has not been activated, and the psionic energy has not reached the point of directly affecting reality. How could it penetrate his skin?

He stood and let the child use the fusion weapon to chop casually, and if he could break his skin, he would live in vain for a lifetime.

"After years of hiding, it really made me weak."

self-examination. Now, he has made up his mind: "In a win-win plan, who takes the greater risk is too clear - even the child has the courage to ask me, how can I not respond?"

If you have nothing, why should you be afraid?

With that thought in mind, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The old knight nodded slightly to the boy: "Ian, for eternity. Good name, your parents must love you very much."

When he said this, the old knight looked calm and seemed to be noncommittal about Ian's proposal: "I regard your proposal as a transaction, but I will not give an answer for the time being."

"Don't worry, now, do what you want to do next."

He said seriously: "Since I helped you just now, I will help you until you return to Port Harrison."
