Wizard From Afar

The burning fireplace, the grill filled with meat-the hall of Wimpal Academy, the "canteen" of the Academy during the overwhelming majority, after all, this is just a small In the castle, apart from the only one library, it is difficult to find a second room that can accommodate dozens of people.

Although it has been here for a while, Loren is really eating here for the first time. Most of the time, I just find some brown bread that can break the front teeth, or the oatmeal that is stuck in the throat. It is a rare treat to be able to have a warm lunch in such a leisurely and relaxing way.

On the plate in front of you are three pieces of toasted burnt bread, the baked apples on the side are still in the "zhi zhi" sugar water; the boiled water spinach and cut into small pieces The carrots are put together, and some salt and pepper are sprinkled on the edges; in the middle is a bowl of gravy onions as the main dish, simple but delicious.

You need to peel off all these small onions first, and then take out the cinnamon, cloves, and parsley leaves prepared in advance to "dress up" them; then pour on black pepper and wormwood leaves, One by one welcomed them into the boiling hot pot.

Then put the tender and slippery diced meat, at a moderate pace, into the pot; then there will be cautiously waiting for them, slowly collecting the juice, a pot of delicious The abnormal gravy onion is complete...Wait until the meaty, delicate and fragrant onion bursts in your mouth, you know that the waiting for dozens of minutes is definitely worth it.

At least for Loren at the moment.

"In general, the mission this time is simply not as dangerous as you think-although they blow it so superbly, as if there is a curse. But the whole thing is very boring, and a few ghouls are making trouble. That's it. If it wasn't for the priest's nephew, I guess it would not have been noticed."

While enjoying the food on the table, Loren smiled teasingly, very casually. I told the whole trip to Ancient Wood Town-of course, the priest's version: "To be honest, I am a little disappointed. Even a group of robbers should be more exciting than this."

" Isn’t it safe to be safe?” The little wizard frowned sitting across from him was a little unhappy with Loren’s indifferent appearance: “And what if you encounter the situation like the last time? You’re impossible to turn peril every time. Into safety, Loren."

"And...I always think you didn't tell the truth."

"How can you think that?" Loren's expression is extremely innocent, but his heart is innocent. shocked. Even the priest Anthony believed himself after hearing this. How did this little buddy who lacked in his head discovered: "We are friends!"

"But you have lied to me once. "Ain's face suddenly darkened: "You are not really lying to me, just making me happy?"

"Absolutely not! Of course, I omitted some details, but since you I want to listen to the complete volume..."

So Loren recounted the whole priest's trip to Ancient Wood Town, but this time he added a little bit more and added a little bit of jealousy, making the process extremely mysterious and abstruse : The murder in the tavern secret room, the murder of the rich man eldest son, the abandoned tomb incident, the mysterious cabin incident... For some reason, although the sword technique has not improved much, Loren finds that he is becoming more and more proficient in making lies.

With the "God unfolding" of the story in his mouth, the little wizard's expression is constantly changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes widening his eyes, sometimes clenching his fists, sometimes...

"Then the whole thing is just a few ghouls who ran out of nowhere. They made a lot of noise in Ancient Wood Town and were killed by you?" This answer made Ain a little bit after hearing the whole story. collapse.

"I told you, it's boring." Loren took a sip of the thick soup helplessly. Recently, it has become more and more difficult to fool the little wizard.

"But I still think you are fooling me." Ain Rand pouted, in a posture of distrust, golden hair twitched.

Loren was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, there are indeed some things that I almost forgot, if you didn't mention it."

Speaking, he went from inside the clothes In his pocket, the two volumes of parchment manuscripts found from Draco were handed to the little wizard in front of him. Ain, who was hesitant, also paused for a while before slowly taking it.

"This, this is..."

Although I just looked at it roughly, but only the densely packed rune above, as well as the insights on the alchemy mixture, I have made Ain a famous watch. This is by no means the level of an apprentice. It is definitely something that can be written by people with real wizard level knowledge!

And I am afraid it is not a essay such as notes or experimental records, but a summary of the final results, the essence of a half-life effort, otherwise it is impossible to write a full two volumes of parchment.

"I found this in the abandoned tomb. I glanced at it. I am afraid it is the funeral of a certain alchemist." Loren slowly swallowed the bread: "As for why No one knows, I guess it’s because you can’t see the light."

This sentence Loren said half true half false, but it also fits the facts-unwilling to be restrained by the nobility or the church The wilderness wizard is not without in this land.

Naturally, before giving this gift to Ain, Loren had already copied a copy and handed it to Dalton Kander. After all, it is the result of a wizard's half-life, and Academy Impossible discards it.

"I will cherish this gift." The manuscript was collected solemnly, and the little wizard solemnly vowed at Loren: "One month, no, two weeks. I'll give it back to you afterwards!" With that said, Ain's expression is still somewhat reluctant.

"No need to return it to me, this is for you." Loren laughed: "And the above content is basically about alchemy, my goal is sorcerer, this thing is basic to me It's useless."

"But, but, it's too precious!" The little wizard's shoulders were shaking, and light blue's eyes were wide and round: "How can I accept such an important... "

"Let’s put it this way, to me, these things are basically irrelevant. I’m also impossible to change the direction of further studies because of a manuscript." Loren persuades: "But you are different , Your dream, maybe you can complete this manuscript’s owner’s will and make it really work, instead of eating ashes in the grave and turning into a pile of waste paper."

" For an alchemist who died in unknown, wouldn't this make him die even more?"

Ain Rand hesitated for a long time.

Slowly nodded, the eyes of light blue solemnly stared at Loren: "I will definitely, this manuscript will never be eclipsed by me, I will definitely let it flourish! "

"And whenever you think of it, you can take it away from me, and I will keep it safe." Although there is still a serious expression, the joy in my heart cannot be concealed. living. Ain, holding back a smile from the corner of his mouth, turned his gaze to the side: "Where is your sword, where is the Knight long sword?"

"It was accidentally broken. I'm afraid I will have to send it to the smithy. That’s fine." Loren explained a little embarrassingly: "Maybe I have to forge another new sword, or I might be in trouble next time I have this kind of accident."

For Loren, this The Knight long sword is not just a weapon, but Leonardo's only relic left to him. If he can, he doesn't plan to use it in the future to avoid being destroyed again.

"Well, if you just need a sword, there are actually many ways to cast one." The little wizard suddenly said, "And in this world, not all Weapons must be made of steel or copper. If you find the right method, you can do something else."

"What do you mean?"

"This is just an imaginary, because I have never completed this experiment, but maybe it can be successful." Ain said excitedly, but then his complexion became a little tangled.

"The only trouble is that we may need some bastard's help..."
