Wizard From Afar

And the door that was pushed open was followed by the strong smell of medicine and the unspeakable strange smell, which made the black hair wizard frowned slightly.

When leaving Thousand Tendency City, the unbearable Harimvan Ashamed Master was already in a coma, and he was awake for no more than four hours a day. After arriving at the Scarlet Blood Fort, the situation was not only There was no improvement, and there were even signs of further deterioration, and he was in a state of high fever and coma all day and night.

For this reason, after hearing the little wizard say that he wakes up, he can't wait to rush over.

Neither too big nor too small’s room is full of bottles and cans, and the enclosed space on all sides is illuminated by only two fluorite lamps-in order to be able to dispense medicines in time, Ayin is even here A test bench was prepared in the ward; the cultivation tank next to it was filled with various unprocessed materials.

The thick and mixed smell is reminiscent of a morgue in a church.

Beside the test bench, lies a thin silhouette.

He is curled up on the sickbed, his rickety back is hidden under the blanket; his thin and shriveled body is like a bone frame covered with wax skin; there are not a few gray hairs left on his face. The wrinkles are like squeezing all the five senses together, only the corners of the mouth are still one and the other.

In the chapped lips, broken breaths, light coughs, and whimpers continued to be heard. The upper and lower chest cavity became the only sign that he was alive; the faint voice was over and over again in the ward Reverberating in the middle, desolate and sad.

Looking at the dying old man in front of him, if he hadn't seen it before, Loren would really hardly imagine that he was once a strong monster who could wield a wand comparable to a mace.

It's like being thirty years old overnight.

With a low sigh, the black hair wizard looked back and refused to let him go. The female count who followed, and Charlotte with a tight face, lightly snorted, stood silently outside the door.

Loren walked into the ward and closed the door gently; perhaps the sound was still too loud, the old man slowly opened his eyes, revealing two dim and bloodshot eyes.

It can be seen that his expression is still slightly surprised.

"cough cough...I'm sorry, Lord Duke, visiting me at this time must have delayed you a lot....cough..." The old man's chest heard a sound like a broken bellows, and tried to open it. Open your eyes:

"Especially...when you are in constant trouble right now."

black hair wizard slightly startled, his eyes suddenly serious: "Ayin?"

"It's just a doctor talking to himself while taking care of a comatose patient. Please don't get me wrong—she didn't know that I was in the middle of a coma, and how many times I woke up." Ashamai took a deep breath, The weak voice can’t be heard clearly even when it’s close:

"even more how. Apart from talking to herself about trivial current affairs, this clever little girl has no other way. The old man who can’t chat with her to get rid of boredom."

Loren twitched the corner of his mouth, he almost forgot that Ayin had told himself-the other party even revealed the biggest secret of the little wizard. , I still need to care about this?

The embarrassing atmosphere made the black hair wizard subconsciously want to change the topic: "Master, you...how do you feel now?"

"haha...cough...you are already I saw it, didn’t you?” The weak old man smiled slightly, with several points of self-deprecating meaning: “It’s no different from a centenarian who is about to enter the earth.”

“But today you can waste yourself specially From the solemn round-table hall to this small ward, I am not going to say some last words or something to make you feel bored; in fact, if possible, I am ready to wait for myself to be thorough, and then take advantage of you when you are free Have a good chat with you."

"But...Obviously, my body does not give me so much wealth-so, why not listen to my old fogey trivial talk, anyway you I can't hear too much."

"Please tell me, I will listen."

black hair wizard lifts the head, looking at the Master Alchemist solemnly.

"In the past month or so, I was awake no more than 20 times intermittently, and I could only hear a few fragments each time." Achamai's chest was up and down, cracking. His lips trembled slightly:

"But every time, I can hear something new-the Floating Void City plan, your letter, the negotiations with the Yunling Kingdom, the Rumors, hunting of the Fiend Guards, alliance with Eboden, the new wizard Academy... all kinds of things."

"Some of these things involve your governance of Duchy, some involve diplomacy, some It is related to the background of your wizard... But from these fragmentary incidents, I got a very interesting conclusion-I am an alchemist, and I am naturally good at summarizing."

"And I concluded The conclusion is...you are very busy, very busy."

"This kind of busyness is abnormal and very abnormal-you are like seeing an enemy that others can’t see, and it’s out of sight. It’s like struggling desperately in the abyss."

"So...your busyness is a manifestation of your fear."

"You, the empire's well-deserved master of Duchy, holding the army The commander-in-chief, the wizard who has mastered the valve, is deeply afraid of something."Ashmael lightly saying:

"And referring to the centaur war that caused the two duchy to suffer heavy losses, I I think the answer is already ready."

Loren was slightly surprised.

Although it’s not the first time I have seen this old man’s excellent insight, I can infer these based on trivial things, which is too...

"Please don’t reveal This expression, I just said some insights I got after observation, not necessarily correct."

The old man coughed and pressed his mouth lightly before continuing to open the mouth and said: "A person When you get older, you will be bored with this world. Because you have seen too much and experienced too much, it is easy to look down."

"So, although I don’t know what you are afraid of Whatever you are doing, you have no right to judge what you have done; but now that you have come, can you listen to my old man talk about your own experience?"

The black hair wizard focused his eyes on , Solemnly nodded: "Of course."

Ashamai Master is lightly coughed again, took a deep breath: "You know, I, Freyswalker, Corona...we this generation The wizards of Japan have basically experienced the era of the Black Duke."

"It was really an extraordinary era; high-spirited and vigorous dukes, unique and unmatched queens, and The tenth generation that came with them; even today, even if the church deliberately blockades, the shadow of the tenth generation can still be seen; even today, we can still find their legacy."

"Come to think of it, Corona must have mentioned to you the Evil God falling in the world, and the Holy Cross that has no resistance at all... As early as the tenth generation, the wizard tower had already noticed these and tried Make a certain effort."

"Unfortunately, this world is not the kind of paradise where'as long as you work hard, you will be able to succeed'; more, nothing is accomplished."

p>

What the hell is he talking about?

Do you want to use the example of the Black Duke to tell yourself that no matter how "busy" you are, it is impossible to change the established future?

Loren, in a deep mood, has a puzzled look in his eyes.

"We tried, we worked hard; just like the noble Dragon Queen and Black Duke, they tried the same, and worked the same..." Ashamed Master slightly paused, it seems that this sentence made him Consume too much energy:

"No one can accuse them of their sacrifices, and no one is more qualified to say that they are right—even the noble Queen of Dragon, our history books only It is mentioned that she finally signed the decree to oust Roland Torino;

But everyone who has lived in the tenth generation knows that the queen who came back from the battlefield was seriously injured at the time, and she was the one who was in charge of the Vault of Heaven. The eldest son, later the 11th generation of the Supreme Emperor."

"They are so wise and wise, so brave to sacrifice and dedication, but...they failed."

" Why?"

"Is it because they did something wrong? Because their enemies are too powerful, because their subjects can’t understand them, because they did things beyond their ability?"

Master Azamay whispered softly, like an old man repeating his memories with his children and grandchildren.

"I'm just an old man who has lived too long and has seen too many. I can see the problems but can't solve them-so I can only say that there are all three."

Loren, who listened carefully, was lost in thought.

An enemy who is too powerful...

Subjects who cannot understand all of this...

A behavior beyond ability...

When the black hair wizard lifted the head again, he saw the babbling old man raise his eyes and stared at himself with those bright eyes: "My Duke, your fear comes from too much A powerful enemy; your busyness is because all this is far beyond the scope of your ability, so you have to increase your strength; you Thrown Into Prison, surrounded by enemies ......"

"Because Your subjects, your friends are desperate to help you, but they cannot understand what you are doing."

"I don’t know if you can succeed, but what I see is You are repeating the mistakes made by the Black Duke Roland Torino in another way." The turbidity in the old man’s pupils is gradually receding:

"Be an'incomprehensible' hero."

Loren was speechless.

"You are the Duke of Byrne. There are also many people in the Byrne thirteen. They have experienced or at least learned about the Legendary of the Black Duke from their parents. They will tell you that they Abandon the regret of the Black Duke, and assure you that similar things will never happen again..."

"But also, as an old man, please tell you that there is nothing new under the sun... "Harimvan Assamae gently relaxed, his shriveled chest slightly undulating:

"Anyone who wants to save the world by strength of oneself will find himself trusted in the end. All the betrayals of faith have fallen to the point of confronting the whole world."

"This is true of the Black Duke, this is the case of the Queen of Mad Dragon, and so are the wizards..."

"We fought against Evil God at the beginning of our birth, but in fact it was no different from those heretics; later, we became a small group, a special organization; and then, we spread ourselves to villages and towns. Every corner..."

"When we became ordinary, ordinary, and part of the various strata of this empire, we found that... we finally have the means to change the empire and even save the empire. Strength."

The black hair wizard came back to his senses and finally understood the meaning of the old man’s words.

"You mean...only to make more people aware of the seriousness of the problem, otherwise, no matter how much I do, at most I can only repeat the failure of the Black Duke?"

The old man didn't answer right away, just ambiguously nodded, and shook the head again.

"Then what should I do to make the truth of the matter public?" Loren couldn't help but ask: "But even if I wrote that letter, most ordinary people still think I'm making a fuss. Don’t even have a deep meaning-this is still in the Scarlet Blood Castle, I am afraid that the effect will be worse if it is out of Byrne!"

"It is very hard work to make a group of people immediately believe that the'fairy tale' is. even more how what you have to face is the pressure from both the sky palace and the church. It is even more difficult than the black duke back then."

Ashamai Master sighed: "I'm just Elderly people can’t think of a good way to solve this problem."

"However, I don’t think it will be too long before you don’t need to'public'-as you said, the enemy’s 1st step is To completely destroy the rebellious forces of the empire, they will surely destroy the facts around the empire; by then, no matter how much the church tries to cover up, your letter will make sane people think about it."

"And I guess, in addition to internal destruction, the enemy will sooner or later adopt external forces...but by then, it will be too late."

The black hair wizard agrees.

"We are impossible to persuade those who don’t know anything about it, impossible to persuade people who pretend not to hear, impossible to persuade people who are skeptical, hostile and even deliberately trying to let us die without a burial site... …"Ashamai paused for a few seconds:

"But at least, we can no longer hide from our close friends, and have been doing everything we can to help our friends."

"Yes, this will bring a lot of danger, put them in a dangerous situation, make them also the target of the enemy... but it is also their right, because changing to them will do the same to you Things."

"You...really shouldn't lie to them, let them believe that...everything is within your expectations at the last moment."

" Let them treat you as a friend who needs help, not a god who can rely on and rely on... You are not an omnipotent god, and God can't save us; only a person with limited ability, ordinary ordinary and troubled people can save the other and him The same person."

Loren looked at Harimvan Ashamed who lightly said softly with solemn expression, but was so serious that every word seemed to be oozing with blood; he finally understood that the other party wanted to talk to himself what.

While I was still awake, I opened my wounds while I was alive, and told myself with the one after another bloody scar...

youngster, don't be a secondary school, don't be stupid.

"As for the moment..." The old man suddenly lifts the head and crossed the black hair wizard looked towards the locked door behind him:

"Why don’t you let the obvious just behind the door The little girl who quarreled with you come in? I think she has been lying behind the door for a long time."
