Late at night, Zero lay in bed and couldn't sleep, he pillowed the back of his head with his hands on his head, and quietly looked at the roof with his eyes open. There was a snoring sound in the ears of Yan Tai and Yaqi father and son, Yaqi's snoring sound was quite normal, Yan Tai's snoring was like thunder, even if it was through a wall, Zero could hear the snoring like thunder, as if he had a shoddy horn in his mouth, and with his breathing, it kept making a ringing sound that shocked people's eardrums.

In fact, Zero has found a solution to the noise isolation while sleeping, and he has enchanted a small silent barrier on his pillow, and when he sleeps, he only rests his head in the barrier, so that he can't hear the outside world. But it's not that he can't sleep tonight because of the snoring, it's that he can't sleep because of his own preoccupations.

It's been more than half a month since Zero came to the dwarves, and he's fully recovered from his injuries a few days ago. Zero now stays at Yantai's house to help Sula work every day, and although such a day is uneventful, it is better than wandering around. However, after a long time, Zero began to feel that the monotonous life became boring. Zero last life is never like this, maybe because the previous life was too poor, busy begging for life every day, at that time, every rest day, he only felt that he could sleep at home until he woke up naturally, and then play the guitar, watch movies or play games on the Internet, this kind of life is very satisfying, if he takes a few days off in a row, he can stay at home alone for several days without going out, and he will never feel bored in the face of the unchanged scene around him.

But in this life, he is completely different, he feels that he has become restless, as if he has an endless energy, and after staying in one place for a long time, he will feel bored, he can't be idle, he just wants to run around the world. I don't know if he has changed, or if the world has changed, he doesn't seem to be his former self anymore, or maybe he can't find the meaning of life anymore...... In his previous life, he was full of only thinking about making money, and if he has money, there is hope, but now he feels that money does not mean much to him. He abandoned his family, stubbornly became a "prodigal son", and he didn't care about the person, he didn't have to work hard for the word "responsibility", but he seemed to be comfortable, but he was bored, and this feeling of emptiness had been wandering in Zero's heart for a while.

When did you start to feel this emptiness? Zero thought about it carefully, it seemed that it had appeared since returning to Lan'er City, and he saw that the people who had been there had now started their own new lives, and no one was having a bad time. At that moment, the guilt that had been buried deep in his heart for five years disappeared without a trace. In the five years he lived with José in the Saling Forest Cabin, he never felt bored, and every day he only thought about trying to learn magic and then running around in the jungle. He had planned to succeed in his studies in 8 to 10 years at most, and then return to Lanel to challenge Wayne, which was his only goal for the past five years. And now, the meaning of this goal has become dispensable, the main thing is that Zero doesn't want to go back to disturb their lives, in their hearts, "Jeno Crete" has passed away, not to mention that he doesn't want to go back to be worthy of their family, even if he goes back like this, then the energy he has spent in the past five years is meaningless.

Zero decided to say goodbye to the dwarves after a while, leave the Saling Forest, and travel around the continent. He is now a little self-preservation, it's time to get out of here to see the outside world, he has been planning to travel around the mainland since a long time ago, it just so happens that he can't be idle, it just so happens that he still has a little money, and it happens that he has no worries, it may be a good choice to go around the mainland. One day, when she was tired of running, she went to visit Josevi, who had left him a piece of paper with the emblem of Santias College, which was supposed to remind him to go there to find her.

Zero rolled over in bed, closed her eyes and thought of Josevi, I don't know how she is doing now?After all, she is also a person who has lived together for five years, it is impossible to say that she does not miss it at all, think about it, she is the person Zero has been with the longest since she came to this world.

"Alas......" Zero frowned and sighed softly.

"I knew that I would follow her with a dead face at the beginning, such a beautiful girl, and such a good figure...... I'm such a stupid ......" Zero muttered to himself, rolled over in bed again, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Cousse walked in the night in a gray robe, wearing a wide hood attached to the gray robe, hiding his entire face in a shadow. He walked steadily on the pavement and stopped in front of a courtyard.

Cousee glanced at the faintly lit window, and with a leap of strength he jumped over the wooden fence that enclosed the courtyard to the door. Suddenly, a dark shadow shook in the corner of the courtyard, and it sat up, and a pair of beast eyes radiated a vigilant cold glow in the night, and it was looking at Cousse with fierce eyes.

Cousse turned his face, raised his hand and raised his index finger to silence the shadow, which recognized Cousse and bent down to stop moving. A smile tugged at the corner of Kuse's mouth, and he took a step forward, reaching out and knocking lightly on the wooden door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked. An old voice came from inside the room, and Cousse gently pushed the door open.

The wooden door creaked, and after Kusai closed the door tightly, he took off his hood and turned to look at the dwarven patriarch sitting in front of the fireplace in the room, Guang.

The glow of the firewood burning in the fireplace was the only source of light in the room, and Gu Ang sat in front of the fireplace, his shadow being placed in the room. The firelight shone on Gu Ang's wrinkled face, several age spots were clearly visible, his beard was completely white, his eyebrows and beard were long, his snow-white hair was tied behind his head, hanging down his slightly rickety back, he was dressed in a dark blue robe, and sat motionless on the animal skin carpet with his eyes closed.

The room was silent, except for the occasional "crackling" of burning firewood, and only the sound of his own breathing could be heard.

After a while, Gu Ang said loudly: "What are you doing standing stupidly? ”

Hearing this, Kusai walked a few steps into the room, pulled over a bench and sat down, and as soon as he sat down, Gu Ang asked, "What's the matter when you came to me late at night?"

Kusai looked at the figure of Gu Ang sitting in front of the fireplace, exhaled from his nose and said to him, "When was the last time I came to you late at night?"

"Eight years ago......" Gu Ang opened his eyes and looked at the fire in front of him, "'Kuisha' is moving again?"

"I only shook it once eight years ago, and it shook a lot during that time. Kusse said intently as he looked at Gu Ang's somewhat sloppy back.

"It's shaking like last time?" Gu Ang asked quietly.

"Not really," replied Kusse, "only a slight shaking, far enough to break the seal. ”

"When did it start?" Gu Ang asked again.

"From the moment the human boy entered the village," Kusse replied, looking at Gu Ang's back, "I thought it would only shake once like eight years ago and there would be no more movement, but since he came to the village, the 'Kuisha' has been shaking frequently, although it is very slight enough to break the seal, but this has not happened in the past thousand years. ”

Gu Ang didn't speak, and Cousse also fell silent, Gu Ang looked at the fire, and Cousse looked at Gu Ang's back, and the two were silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Gu Ang asked aloud, "Kusai, how many hall guards are you?"

"Seventh, what's wrong?" Cousse wondered.

"Seventh ......," Gu Ang muttered as he stared at the fire in front of him, "The dwarves have been living in seclusion in the depths of this dense forest for more than a thousand years, and it is really not easy to find such a place where they can live and work in peace......

"The 'Sword Forging Curse' of the Dwarves has also lasted for more than a thousand years......," Kusai said with a low eye on the ground under his feet, "The Oath of the Hall Keeper: Defend the seal to the death, and never touch the seal unless the Divine Lord comes to the world to take the sword. But the seal is not broken, the dwarves have to live this kind of seclusion in the mountains and forests for generations, we used to be the famous army forging clan on the continent, but now we can only hide in the mountains and forests, and we have to watch out for the attacks of those goblins all day long......"

"Kusei, what do you think of that human boy ......," Gu Ang asked.

Kusai raised his head and looked at Gu Ang's back and said, "It should be related to the prophecy, otherwise 'Kuisha' would not have reacted so frequently." ”

Gu Ang slowly stretched out his hand and took out a piece of new firewood from the side and put it into the fireplace of the fireplace, he watched the firewood burn slowly in the flames, and after a while he spoke: "If you have a chance, I will talk to him, you go back and rest first." ”

Kusse pursed his lips, exhaled a long breath between his noses, he looked at Gu Ang's back and nodded and said "Okay", then stood up and walked to the door, just raised his hand to open the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned his face to Gu Ang and said: "By the way, that young man is a magician, he seems to be very interested in the magic of our clan. ”

Gu Ang narrowed his cloudy eyes and chuckled and said, "Since he is interested, you can teach him, and it is not a very secret thing......

"You are unexpectedly so generous to outsiders. Cousse teased.

"People always have to be flexible, times are changing, and people will change. Gu Ang said casually.

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and looking at Gu Ang's old face in the light of the fire, Kusai said to him, "This is the first time I've heard the word 'era' from your mouth. But we've been out of touch with the times for thousands of years, haven't we?"

With that, Cousse turned his face, gently pushed the door open and walked out of the house. Gu Ang listened to the sound of Kuse's door shut, and he looked motionlessly at the fire in the fireplace in front of him, the light of the burning fire reflected in his cloudy eyes.
