Chapter 35 [An Important Lesson in Life]
Night was approaching, and in the birch grove north of Nok City, Harvey was holding a thick birch tree in his hand, bending over and panting as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. And Drew is now speeding down another path, as an alchemy life, whether he walks or runs, it doesn't affect him, and his energy source is the only stable Duck lava heart left, so there is no need to worry about consuming too much.
"Whew~, I'm a magician!Mr. Qi!" Harvey protested after steasing his breath a little. After he left Nock Castle a few hours ago, he had not made a sound, as if he had suddenly come to life, and the first thing he did after he came back to life was to call Harvey, not to use magic, and to run forward. And he also told Harvey that he could stop without his permission. Then Harvey ran from noon to now. And after Qi was there, he didn't shout to stop, Harvey really couldn't run, so he stopped and rested.
"Uncle Ben knows. A strange voice came from Harvey's chest.
Harvey, who had no strength, sat down with the birch tree next to him and prepared to rest.
"After running for so long, if you don't want to cramp for a while, I advise you to get up and stretch. Qi said again.
"Why can't you tell me before I sit down?" Harvey, who had almost collapsed, stood up with his back against the birch trunk and his hands struggling to stand up on the ground.
"I have to say, your body is too thin, and your endurance is not good, you can't stand it after running such a little way. If you're a scout of an army, you've either been hacked to death by the enemy or cut down by the Commander. Odd's taunt continued to spur Harvey as he stretched.
Harvey put his leg on the trunk of the tree beside him, leaned forward, and pressed his leg as he said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, I don't think I'll ever go to the army in my life." And even if I were in danger and needed to escape, I would have used my flying skills in time instead of relying on my poor legs. There was a hint of rebellion in Harvey's tone, and he already thought that he was in pain when he slept.
"Flying?oh, magic will always save poor magician Harvey. Qi Yin and Yang said in a strange way, and then asked very seriously: "What if your magic power is exhausted? What if there is a forbidden demon enchantment in the place where you are?
Harvey stopped stretching when he heard the strange words. The situation where the mage cannot use magic has already been encountered in the Mayan Plateau, north of the continent of Stan. He didn't know when he had this kind of scar and forgot the pain? Harvey shivered, and a cold sweat flowed. He suddenly realized that he had become very reckless after successfully rising to the eighth level of the Great Magician, whether it was the ridiculous confidence he had in the face of the two-headed wolf, or his dismissive attitude today. Thinking about it made him feel afraid, he knew very well that if it wasn't for luck these two times, he might have died a long time ago.
Qi felt Harvey's words again: "Let me tell you a word, the more you don't want it to happen, it often happens." So, don't take chances, physical training is inevitable, and the real purpose of letting you run for so long today, you should know. ”
"I'm not sure if it's him, but after he asked me what that little red bug was, I did feel a hint of danger. ”
Harvey didn't know everything about Gu worms, he did it the way he was told. So, Harvey could only say sorry to Reed Juggernaut.
And it was after this "sorry" that Harvey felt a murderous look in Reed's eyes for a moment. However, the time was too short for Harvey to be sure if he was feeling wrong. He also didn't believe that he would want to kill himself after saving Reed's own granddaughter.
This is the innocence of young people, and Qi calls this kind of person stupid. As an old guy with thousands of years of experience, coupled with the natural perception of its divine beast, the moment the murderous aura appeared on Reed's body, it clearly sensed that this sword master had already moved his mind to kill Harvey. A person who is at the Holy Rank has officially entered the top level of this world, even if Harvey is an eighth-level great magician, in the eyes of the Holy Order, he is just an ant-like mortal.
"Boy, you're right, that old guy wants to kill you. Strange spoke the truth, and it felt that Harvey needed to re-examine the world as he saw it.
"Just because I don't know what that red bug is, he's going to kill his granddaughter's savior?" Harvey couldn't figure it out.
"I guess that's what he thinks, a fifth-level magician who doesn't belong to the Magician Alliance, accidentally broke into the ancient castle, and got the box inherited by his family, and solved the nightmare that had plagued his family for hundreds of years, and then this poor weak person couldn't explain everything clearly. So many unexplained coincidences and events are too much like someone arranged. So the question is, who cares about a family that has been defeated and is haunted by mysterious curses? There is only one answer, and that is who is behind it. ”
"Isn't that too far-fetched?" Harvey couldn't agree with this unsubstantiated unfounded suspicion that Reed wanted to kill him.
"No, he had what he thought was enough evidence. ”
"What evidence?"
"Do you remember how you answered the question he asked?"
Then...... I remember saying "I'm sorry, Lord Reed, I can't tell you about this red bug because I don't know." ”
"Did he ask you then?"
"Nope. After Harvey finished speaking, he suddenly thought, "yes, why didn't he ask?"
"The second piece of evidence, which is the sentence after you, you asked him if he could give you the red worm in his hand?"
"That's right, because you said don't kill it, I think it might be of some special use to you. ”
"What would you think if it were you, a man who said he didn't know about the red worm and suddenly offered to take it?"
"I must think they're lying to me. ”
"It's not that simple, don't forget that you are a magician, a magician is not only proficient in magic, but also proficient in all kinds of magic potions, and the most important thing is that his granddaughter has a month left, you just appeared out of thin air, and you don't belong to the Magician Alliance. ”
"Therefore, he thinks that I am a descendant of the black hand that has persecuted their family for hundreds of years, and the purpose of my coming here is to get back the red worm that has been left on their family for hundreds of years. Under the guidance of Qi, Harvey finally figured out everything, and at the same time he said: "Isn't this a little too suspicious." ”
"No, it's not suspicious. From his point of view, if you are in such a hurry to ask for the red worm in his hand, he will worry that you are trying to persecute others. But when he was suspicious, he didn't directly attack you, which also shows that he was worried and worried that his conjecture was wrong. Therefore, in the end, he just used his golden fighting energy to turn the red worm into nothingness. ”
"In this way, Reed doesn't seem to be a suspicious person by nature, everything is my own problem. ”
"That's right, boy, you finally understand that it's all your problem. At the time, it wouldn't be difficult for you as a magician to make up a set of tales about the red worm, and that way the old fellow wouldn't suddenly start to suspect you. You can then use your magical research as an excuse to ask him for the red bug. In the end, I didn't have to leave the castle so quietly. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Qi. "Harvey's sincere thanks. For a sixteen-year-old boy like him, what Qi just said was undoubtedly an important lesson in his life.
"There's no need to say thank you, Uncle Ben originally planned to follow you out, and then go to your world to find Uncle Ben's body, but you stupid, it's only been a long time since Uncle Ben came out, and you almost died because of saying the wrong thing. Isn't this Uncle Pitben?"
"I'm sorry. Harvey apologized and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Mr. Qi, what does the pit mean?"
