Wizard From Afar

"Slowly take a moment, don't worry, we have time."

Loren softly comforted, pushing the bowl full of hot soup to the male child In front of him: "You must be hungry after running so far. Let's eat something."

The scared hat nodded, panicked and took the spoon and drank, obviously it has been a long time. I've eaten a full meal.

Loren, who used this time, carefully looked at the male child-although he has always been in this torn dress, he can also see that the muddy of the trousers and the corners of the shirt is only recent; There is a very new tear, I am afraid that he was torn by a nail while running wildly; there was a slight bruise on his wrist, indicating that he had almost been caught.

So the hat should have rushed all the way to the Academy yesterday evening. Considering that there was a full day's journey between the two places, he knew that he might get lost at night and had to run away, and was almost caught, proving that something must have happened to Ancient Wood Town, and it was probably related to him.

Loren silently poured himself a glass of water. He now needs to maintain absolute sanity by himself, so drinking is absolutely not allowed.

The sweet and hot soup poured into his throat, so that the trembling male child slowly calmed down, and his breathing became much more stable. Then he started to swallow in small mouthfuls.

"Are you more comfortable?" Loren looked at the male child with concern, and his voice was very soft: "If it is not enough, there will be more."

"No, no, I have I'm full." The hat replied in a daze, avoiding Loren's gaze: "Thank you, master wizard, you are such a good person."

"Just call me Loren. All the people in this Academy are wizard." Smiled and patted the old hat on the male child's head: "Something happened to Ancient Wood Town?"

The hat is nodded as soon as he has only met a few times, but he knows that this is not much bigger than himself. The "Master Wizard" is the kind of person who can't be fooled easily, otherwise he wouldn't flee here desperately.

"After you left, I tried to find a way to return to the boss of the barn-no way, besides doing this, I have no other craftsmanship, let alone know that I can What are you doing." The hat shrugged helplessly, swallowed saliva and said: "It's probably been so plain for a while, and then..."

"Yesterday or the day before yesterday?" Loren asked suddenly.

"Yesterday!" The male child's eyes flashed with horror: "Suddenly a man came to our side and brought a dozen or so mercenary guys, saying he wanted to take over. Boss’s “business”, let us listen to them in the future. A stupid big fellow hit them, and then they..."

The hat swallowed saliva and said: "Just hang him Get up, light it with a bottle of water, and then open it with an axe!"

"I, I know for the first time... the smell of human flesh... smells so sweet! "

The trembling hat expression has been completely distorted, obviously resisting the urge to spit it out. Loren can understand the other party's approach-dealing with the rascals on the street, only by making them feel the fear will listen to you obediently, pure temptation is useless.

But even if you can understand it, it is still unacceptable. This is no longer a shock but a complete killing, and he hates this behavior very much.

"What happened after that?" Loren immediately skipped this paragraph: "Are they all their people near the barn?"

"They just picked it away Those sturdy current subordinates, what should the rest of the people do, they just have to be subject to them." The hat got more and more panicked: "I thought it was all right, but a guy recognized me. ——It was when you went back to church that day, they saw you throw a copper plate into my bowl."

"Those people became like crazy dogs when they heard your name, I I tried my best to escape, and I was almost caught!" Looking at Loren with a lingering hat, he said, "Now I can't go anywhere except you. Someone will kill me as soon as I go out!"

"Please, I...I don't want to, I don't want to become..."

"Absolutely not!" Of course Loren knew what the hat was going to say next, so he interrupted. "You are absolutely safe here. Even the church can't break into the Academy to arrest people without proof, let alone a group of stray robbers!"

The male child is desperately nodded, like a stray cat Curled up on the chair like.

Long sighed, Loren knows that this kind of trauma is definitely not something he can solve with a few words, he must be given time. Patted the shoulder of the hat, turned and walked out the door.

The cold-faced black robe wizard from start to finish stood outside the door-this is natural. How could Dalton let such important information pass? even more how Loren would be impossible to let the hat walk through the gate of the Academy if he didn't speak.

"Go back and continue to ask." The black robe wizard said absolutely: "There are still too few clues. We need more information."

"Sorry, I am sorry for my rejection. "Loren didn't back down, leaning back against the door and staring at him.

Dalton's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you questioning me?"

"As far as his current state of mind is concerned, he must use some tricks if he continues to ask." Loren Explained: "But if we do this, we will completely lose his trust and become like those people."

"I always thought you were very pragmatic, Loren · Torino."

p>

"Your judgment is still accurate." Loren slightly smiled: "But since we still have time, there is no need to use such drastic means."

After a moment of indulging, black robe wizard Finally, slightly nodded, he agreed with Loren's choice. In any case, the other party took the initiative to find the door, and I am afraid that more than one person has discovered that this little beggar has come to the Academy. If something happens to him, the impact on the Academy will not be good.

Of course, these are not worth mentioning for Dalton. All he cares about is the comfort of the Academy-the situation is still under control, so some face issues can be taken into account; but if there is even a slight accident ......

"He came to me, so I will vouch for him." Looking at the distrustful eyes of black robe wizard, Loren smiled bitterly and shrugged: "Of course, you can also hand in. For others, for example...Ain Rand?"

"Yes." Dalton nodded, although his apprentice is simpler, he is at least very careful. If you just monitor a little beggar, it's not a bad idea.

Just as he turned and left, Dalton suddenly noticed something wrong, and suddenly turned his head, causing Loren who had just breathed a sigh of relief to become nervous again.

"What's the matter?"

"Ain Rand... In the last two months, this is the first time you use your full name to address you." Dalton opened the mouth and said: "Happened What's the matter?"

"...It's nothing, I just said it casually." Loren replied of face doesn't change.

"Really?" After a deep glance at him, the black robe wizard turned around and moved towards his study.

Just a little bit, I was discovered!

Lightly touched the back, but the back of the neck was sweaty. Loren, let out a long sigh of relief, smiled bitterly and shook his head-if Dalton found out that he knew it a long time ago, I'm afraid he wouldn't let him go so easily.

But then again... Loren looked towards the door behind him slowly, and his right hand gently pressed the handle, motionless in thought.

Can you really trust the hat? Of course not. In order to seek asylum, he would of course tell some lies to gain his sympathy and self-blame. After all, he had to flee because of his own reasons.

He can rely on himself for a bag of Silver Coin, so why can't he betray himself for more Silver Coin? This kind of street child should also have no moral pressure in his heart, plus the threats and persecution of the other party, it is not difficult to make him obediently work his life.

It is a good thing to hand him over to Ai Yin. The little wizard will not betray him. At the same time, this genius of alchemy is thoughtful, maybe he can really detect his feet, when the time comes, he can use this "chess piece" in turn.

"How should I explain this to Ayin? If you say it straight, you may be regarded as lying to her." Loren, who was hesitant, couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Why did it become like this?"
