Chapter 22 The Picture
Wait, this guy has practiced sword secretly, right? He even lied to the wise Mr. Gerson
Joey didn't say anything. The runes on the ring Soren kept flashing like they were overloaded. It felt very wronged and felt that they had been deceived by someone's pure feelings.
"Talent." The messenger said concisely.
Sauron was speechless for a moment.
Joey walked to the middle of the long street, and the path he walked turned into frosty and white frozen soil.
"Soldier." He said to his apprentice.
"I'm still far from it." Uriel shook his head. He knew that he was a very young novice from no matter which angle. He could not afford the bloody name of the warrior.
He is planning your career, idiot
The ring was still angry.
"Planning a career?" The apprentice thought to himself that he had joined a skill training center. Chloita's arrangement for the Mysterious is really weird.
After the fire is lit, you can be considered a mysterious creature with a low ring. Mysterious people have their own professions, just like everyone has their own strengths.
Chloita belongs to the astrological school, and relying on prophecy and astrological magic as the research direction, it is not suitable for you... Maybe you can consider the Glorious Council, in their eyes, divine arts and prayers are far less realistic than swords.
"sounds good."
Uriel replied.
But he was not in the mood to think about these things, "That's fine."
The wind is still, and the remaining limbs on the stone slabs are still twitching. The undead does not have the concept of death unless they are completely broken. Of course, there are many ways: freezing, burning, crushing, etc. Lower undeads are actually at the level of miscellaneous soldiers in Gavash, and their magic can easily cause damage. These things can only pose a threat to ordinary people.
But mystery is not common. Most of the mysterious creatures in Four Leaf City are adventurers, as well as private soldiers of the lords and nobles. There are only one person who ignites the fire among the civilians.
Therefore, Favrank Avenue was in a mess.
They stayed here for a long time, and the burning of the bar did not even attract any civilians or guards. The silence was the dark tones that covered the vision, and the flowers were dyed withered yellow.
The young man knew that this was the magic of the undead eroding order.
This city is crazy
Even if it is a rune life, he would never like such a gloomy scene. What should we do next?
"Go to Chester," Joey replied. "This is his work."
Chester...Isn't he a natural alchemist? Why don't I know what part-time necromancer he has?
Because you are just a ring, the messenger thought.
"Is Chester the Necromancer?" Uriel raised his head and clenched the hilt of the sword.
"Maybe."
"What should Cecilia do?" the apprentice asked. He stroked the girl's eyes again, and she was still looking at him. "I don't want to leave her."
"She's dead." Joey's expressionless face, "Do you want to kill the madman in Gavash together, or are you waiting for her to melt here?"
"Then I'll throw Cecilia here?" The apprentice couldn't help but raise his voice. He forgot the gap between himself and Joey for a moment. Even if the fire was ignited, he was no different from those low-level undead who were about to collapse in the eyes of the messenger.
However, as soon as he blurted out, Uriel realized that the other party was not obliged to do anything for him, and his behavior was simply unreasonable - the messenger in his impression was not as human as Mr. Ez, even though the latter's human feelings were mostly manifested in being petty.
And Cecilia is not Joey's clerk either.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited." Uriel couldn't help but stammer, his mind was very confused, "I--"
"Let's go, no one will come here."
The messenger didn't care about his attitude. "It's no longer her that has lost the body of the soul."
...
Look, I said you will become mysterious one day
Uriel shook his head, "If this is a price that must be paid, then I would rather die at the hands of the corpse eater."
They walked through the streets and were full of dilapidated scenes. Houses collapsed, walls were damaged, and blood was left on the street lamp poles, but not too much.
The apprentice can imagine that people are servants who burn their souls without realizing them, and their bodies are instantly transformed into evil spirits.
Darkness and death chased the living like shadows. Sometimes the streets they passed by were filled with smoke and dust, and they had to use magic to open the way; sometimes the corpse eaters rushed out to try to vent their bloodthirsty instincts, and these unlucky ghosts really hit the iron plate. Before Uriel could hold the ice sword, he saw the frost and mist surrounding Joey sweeping away like a beast out of the gate.
After the cold wind, there was only ice slag on the ground, and it was obvious that the messenger was not in a good mood.
The apprentice did not see a living person throughout the journey, and he couldn't help but feel shocked by such a tragic scene.
Uriel realized that he should have been one of them.
"Why am I standing here?" he couldn't help asking, "Why can I suddenly become a mystery? Is it because of Cecilia?"
Then you think too much. If people can gain strength by experiencing pain, then there will be no ordinary people in the world - because everyone has pain
Answered with a finger ring.
Uriel didn't know how harsh the fire required to ignite, but he was sure that he had not made any preparations. The mysterious birth was like a dream. He woke up ignorantly and then forgot the dream in the moment he woke up.
"Then what special is I?" Uriel himself didn't believe it.
No. To be honest, I also want to know how you can skip so many courses and steps to make the tinder spontaneously ignite-
Sauron wrote dejectedly: I thought you, a fool, would stay in the apprenticeship longer than a normal person, but he didn't expect you to skip the stage of contacting mystery and ignite the fire... This is not magic at all.
Uriel thought that the apprenticeship period was about the preparation period, as if there was a hard work period before becoming a formal worker. This was no different from the work of an ordinary person. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Is it good for you to be an apprentice for a long time?"
As the highest technology of rune magic, I am happy to systematically teach you the basic knowledge of occultism and make reasonable plans and suggestions for your future career choices...
Uriel felt dizzy when he heard this, “Is this related to fire?”
Ignifying the fire is an active behavior, otherwise do you think that the soul, a combination of consciousness and thought, can be ignited with a match?
"Those potions-"
Communication magic is a very meticulous job, and rough techniques will only kill people... Of course, it is rare to be a potion that can activate the fire seed, and this is exactly its value.
At this time, Sauron listened and wrote in a complicated tone: If it were me, I would be very happy that you could take the initiative to understand the mysticism, but it was so strange that I was not in the mood at all now.
"Because you have souls, too." The apprentice whispered, "Thank you for your comfort, Sauron. I know you are more than just a ring."
Mr. Gerson did not speak. It always expressed itself through ice water or smoke, and never spoke. Normally, it would tell the apprentice rune life with a rare serious attitude, just that it was thinking about some deeper questions now.
Maybe our definition of the soul is a bit skewed. Soren finally replied, but it is not something to care about.
Ulier, you are a mysterious creature now
This sentence seems inexplicably heavy.
Before Uriel could respond, he heard Joey say in a calm tone: "It's here."
In front of me is a simple wooden house with weeds, and the garden is full of weeds. If it weren't for the "close business" sign hanging on the door, no one would have thought that this was actually a shop that was open to the public.
Uriel raised his head and realized that their location was actually the end of Songbigrad. He was absent-minded along the way and did not even pay attention to returning to the street where he originally wanted to make a living.
There are seven stops from Frank here. The apprentice still remembers the night of the station that will never be forgotten. But whether it is at that time or now, there are no more pedestrians on the bustling streets. He can still vaguely recognize the familiar scenery, and the clock tower on the long street at the end is close, with frost and snow attached to the pointer.
Chester lives here? The ring wrote in surprise: Bai, how did you find this place?
"The magic reaction of the potion is too strong." The messenger replied.
Of course, having said that, he didn't need to worry too much about acting as the city lord Gentry Wiggins. Otherwise, the most undead in Four Leaf City now is the undead, followed by potions. Joey couldn't find a natural alchemist who deliberately hid himself.
Sauron didn't say anything. He knew that the other party was perfunctory, and being so serious and perfunctory meant that if he continued to ask, the young man would send it for repair.
When Uriel thought of the initiator of the disaster hiding in the dilapidated wooden house in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. The door was not locked, and there was no obstacle even when it got inside. The apprentice felt his fingers trembling, because the abnormality meant that guessing the truth was one step further.
He was about to walk to the front with his sword, but was stopped by Joey.
"Don't do it first."
"Do you want to convince him?" Ulier asked in disbelief. It is really impossible to achieve such an expansion from either side's perspective: first of all, Joey is not good at eloquence; secondly, if Chester, who is with the undead, is really convinced, he will not spread the potions to the whole city.
Could it be that Joey is because of the value of the potion?
The apprentice suddenly realized that this might not be a reason. He didn't know Joey at all. But when he thought about it, Uriel couldn't help feeling ashamed, because no matter what the reason was, Joey gave him great help - from Rune Ring Soren to igniting the fire, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-saving grace, but now he had to suspect that the other party had other intentions.
And it is understandable if young people really do this. Ulier is not a teenager with no social experience. He knows that sometimes people make emotional choices to recover their losses.
But as a civilian in Four Leaf City, Uriel could not accept this from the bottom of his heart. He hoped that Joey was not that kind of person, and the apprentice realized that mysterious creatures only had more magic power given by fire than ordinary people. They were fundamentally the guardians of humans with conscience and bottom line.
"I know what you are thinking." Joey suddenly said, his eyes facing Uriel. The apprentice was shocked when he saw the pair of blue pupils that looked like a deep sea abyss.
Killing cannot end disaster
Sauron reminded.
It is one thing to have the awareness of facing everything, it is another thing to understand the causes and consequences, and completely solve the problem. Cecilia's tragedy is just a microcosm. They not only want to seek justice for the deceased, but also want to make the collapsed situation return to the right.
Uriel then barely suppressed his anger. He began to consciously control his mind and tried to make it analyze some things that would be helpful to the situation: "Why should Chester study the potion that ignites the fire?"
"He is an alchemist - this should be a mysterious profession, and there is no need to ignite the fire again, right?"
The ring explained:
Have you forgotten, Uriel, the potion is not made to ignite the fire, it is essentially still an active fire potion
Chester should have another purpose
