Chapter 44: The Curse of Being a Sorcerer
After getting rid of the villagers, he ran forward a short distance, and a long river appeared in front of him, the river was wide, the river was turbulent, this may be the largest river nearby, Li Kang jumped into the river, he was now in a state of soul, the river passed directly through his body, but the little girl couldn't stand the cold river water, and shivered in his arms.

"Be patient, the river will wash away our scent, so that we can get rid of the hounds, otherwise we will not be able to shake them off, no matter how far we run, and we will go ashore a little longer. Li Kang tried to comfort the little girl.
The little girl nodded very obediently, leaned her head on Li Kang's shoulder, although she was still trembling, but her expression had relaxed, Li Kang secretly admired, she was really a strong little guy.
Walking down the river for about a kilometer, Li Kang felt that he should be able to get rid of the pursuers, he walked to the shore to see if there was any place nearby to hide, fortunately there was an abandoned mine not far ahead, there are generally deep pits near such mines, most of the time no one will come here, it is estimated that those villagers do not have the courage to chase here in the middle of the night.
The inside of the mine was pitch black, and as soon as Li Kang entered the mine, there was a noisy sound from above, as if countless wings were flapping, which frightened the little girl even more.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Li Kang said softly, he shook his hand and sprayed a tongue of hellfire towards the roof of the cave, and the roof of the cave was full of vampire bats hanging upside down, and the bottom few bats touched the tongue of fire, and were immediately engulfed by the flames of hell.
The flames of hell can burn even if they encounter rocks, the flames on these bats pass one by one, and in the blink of an eye all the bats are engulfed by merciless tongues of fire, and there is a scorching smell in the mine, Li Kang takes the little girl to the deeper part of the mine, where he finds an abandoned minecart.
There is still some coal ore in the minecart, and it is obvious that this cave was abandoned very suddenly, maybe there was a disaster such as a mining accident at that time, so it was closed so urgently.
However, with these coal mines, you can light a bonfire, which can keep the little girl warm up with damp and cold, which is very important, otherwise spend a night in this cold mine, the little girl is very easy to contract lung disease, like this economically underdeveloped Eastern European country, if the child is infected with lung disease, the mortality rate is extremely high, good doctors basically go to developed countries to develop, and those who stay are basically quacks, so for every hundred children infected with lung disease, only about eight or nine can be saved.
Li Kang used the hell flame to ignite the coal ore in the minecart, and soon the minecart was red by the charcoal fire, exuding soft light and heat, which made the temperature in the mine rise a lot, he took off the little girl's clothes, brought a rock, put the clothes on the rock to bake, and soon the clothes rose from the steam repeatedly.
The little girl was too young, not old enough to be shy, and she crouched next to the minecart with her bare little butt to keep warm.
"I was so flustered just now that I didn't ask you what your name was. Li Kang looked at the little girl gently, his face at this time was a glowing outline, and the little girl could only see his general expression, but she also knew that Li Kang's expression at this time must be very friendly.
"My name is Wanda, and I live at the foot of the mountain, what about you? What is your name? Are you an angel?" asked Wanda with her little head tilted.
"Wanda.... My newly married wife is also called Wanda, and she has the same name as you, but she has red hair, you have blonde hair, she is Da Wanda, you are Little Wanda, they are all the same beautiful girls," Li Kang smiled and said, "But I'm not an angel, what's so good about angels, they're just God's lackeys, I'm much better than them, I'm a great magician." ”
"Magician, I know magicians, every time the circus comes, there will be magicians who perform magic, they will perform the performance of conjuring rabbits from hats, from the sleeves of small pigeons, and they will conjure up a lot of playing cards, and they will cut people apart, and then put them back, the most amazing thing is to change people, an empty box can conjure up a big living person out of thin air, it's incredible. ”
Little Wanda has a light in her eyes, although she has just experienced a life and death escape, she is still a child's nature, and her eyes glow with excitement when she mentions fun.
"You're talking about magicians, they use just some deceptive tricks, I am a real master magician, magicians are the most amazing people in the world, they don't rely on genetic mutation, they don't rely on technology, they don't rely on blood nobility, magicians only rely on their own ability and wisdom, with their own continuous hard training, with the body of a mortal, but they can master incomparably powerful power, they can summon lightning and fireballs out of thin air, they can rain fireworks on the heads of their enemies, the most powerful magicians can even modify reality, have the ability to destroy the world, they are the most tenacious and intelligent group of people in this world, I am one of themYou saw me fight off those villagers and burn those annoying vampire bats, all with magic, understand?"
Like telling a story, Li Kang told little Wanda about the difference between a magician and a magician, and little Wanda's eyes flashed with longing.
"A magician is amazing! Then I must marry a magician, and I will learn magic from him, and I will be a great magician. Little Wanda said innocently and romantically, she grew up listening to the story of Prince Charming, just like every little girl of the same age, but at this time, for her, the magician is her ideal Prince Charming.
Li Kang was stunned, the road of a magician is dangerous and difficult, and the cost is extremely high, in his opinion, people who want to become a magician are either desperate or ambitious, otherwise no one wants to become a magician, he would rather Xiao Wanda become a lawyer, model, or even a star singer in the future, which is much better than being a magician.
Man's life is short, he doesn't want little Wanda to spend his precious youth on meditation, wandering in the void, magic is like a seemingly generous female cousin, in the initial stage, as long as you pay a small price, magic will give you extremely rich returns, this process will make you ecstatic for beginners, so you are more devoted, in order to get more, but as you invest more, her return is less and less, and in the end you go bankrupt, just to get her smile, but she kicks you to the side of the road, disdainful of you。
When you wake up, you find yourself penniless and old, so you can only sit alone on a pile of bat dung, thinking about the past, only to find that you have not done anything in your life, but you have lost your precious life.
So you are not reconciled, you begin to seek the help of some dark forces, the initial deal only involves the corners, you think you are cunning and taste the sweetness again, so the contract from the first one or two years of life, into a piece of soul... Two souls...
It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of soul and I can ask for more, so there are three tablets... Four tablets: Until one day you find that your soul is no longer your own, so you begin to fear and begin to try in vain to save your soul, but everything is doomed, and all resistance is in vain.
Because all the magicians have not figured out the correct way to trade souls, if you want to trade souls, you have to choose when you are still in the middle of the day, because if you can't save your soul at this time, then how can you expect you to be able to redeem your soul?
But Li Kang didn't say these words to little Wanda, because he knew that once the flame of longing for magic was ignited, no force could extinguish it, even if a person with a profound understanding of magic like Li Kang could not withdraw, which might be the curse of being a magician.
