Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 53 Ruins in the Air
"Noise!"
I didn't see any movement from Roger, but an impatient snort sounded from his mouth, and the aura of resistance had suddenly unfolded without warning, and all the slaves who dared to get close were all like they were hit in the chest by a sledgehammer, and flew out fiercely, and the rest of the slaves took a few steps back in unison, and the scene was suddenly silent.
"It's quiet. Roger, who was bored and plucked out his ears, said absent-mindedly, "Choose a steward to come out, I still have things to do here." ”
Slaves, you look at me, I look at you for a long time, and then an old man with white hair was elected to step forward, "Your Excellency, please forgive me, I learned that Fitz's rule was overthrown, and everyone was excited for a while, so I rushed into my lord, and please don't mind." ”
Trying to recall the expressions of those gangsters in Hong Kong dramas a long time ago, Roger walked up to the old man with a calm face, put his hand on his dirty clothes and whispered to him, seeing the old man's sluggish expression, he patted the dust on his hands with satisfaction, "Next, I think you should know what to do, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
With that, Roger waved his hand to the Truth Knowing Guild and Elwe, who was watching the play on the rooftop, to assemble, and the group walked towards the stop point of the next 'Mage's Eye' he had calculated, leaving the slavers looking at each other.
The old man stood in the middle of the shed, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and a slightly clean middle-aged man couldn't wait to walk up, "Father, what did that young man say? You actually let Fitz's minions go, everyone is finally free, you can't let go of a few hidden dangers because of a moment of soft-heartedness." ”
He said, "The old man seemed to have just come to his senses, and his voice trembled uncontrollably," he was the one who defeated Fitz, and he hated trouble the most. ”
"And we're getting him in trouble right now!"
The spirit of the middle-aged slave worker was shocked, and the old father sighed and then said, "Forget it, I thought I was free from Fitz's rule, but I didn't expect that the ruins have changed owners, everyone should honestly return to their respective sheds, maybe the new lord will meet you soon." ”
"No," Igor, who had been left behind by Roger's orders, walked out from the side, and the slaves naturally made way for him, which greatly satisfied his vanity, and Igor's voice sounded with a little excitement, "Maybe you have long forgotten, but we once belonged to a glorious collective, let me tell you about that forgotten history......"
......
The slave laborers' voices mixed with exclamations and cheers were gradually left behind, and it seemed that Igor's little fat man had done a good job of his propaganda work, which made Roger nod his head with satisfaction, and a very relieved expression. From the first sight of the little fat man, Roger knew that Igor was the material for this kind of thing, after all, cheekiness and clever tongue have always been a powerful weapon for politicians to survive, of course, if you add a little arrogance and shameless arrogance, then it is a perfect aristocrat.
Come, look at these ragged slave laborers, excited people who have just been freed from slavery. They are ignorant, ignorant, and there is no joy in their cloudy eyes, more confusion about the future. Even if their ancestors were once the people who carried the hope of magic in the shelter, even if there was an organization like the True Knowers led by Yvette who inherited the heavy truth of history, but the long-term enslavement still destroyed their bodies and wiped out their history, and now their will can be said to be extremely tenacious and extremely fragile, and to manage them needs to be guided by lies and promises with materials, at this time, empty words about the restoration of the magical era may be drowned by this group of slaves, after all, all they want is to live tomorrow。
Perhaps Lilith didn't fully see Roger's intentions for a while, but the girl's sensitive intuition told her that the young mentor was leading Igor in an unpredictable direction, frowning and thinking for a long time, like a mother beast protecting her cubs, Lilith decided to ask Roger directly.
"Oh, I knew you were going to ask," Roger replied with a drooping eyelid as he mentally calculated the likely trajectory of the 'Mage's Eye', "First of all, you have to be clear, Lilith, not everyone is suitable for the path of magician, even if he has a talent for magic, and in my eyes Igor is a person who is not suitable for the path of a mage, that is, a complete speculator. Don't be in a hurry to contradict me, maybe you want to treat every one of your companions equally, but that's not realistic. ”
"Look back at that little fat man, don't say anything about his talent, the magic he has worked so hard to master, Ou no, is what you call 'secret art', but it is just a tool he uses to climb up. If I hadn't shown up, and you hadn't been exterminated by Fitz, one day you would have been happy to hand over the True Knower to him, and the consequences of a pure speculator as the leader of a mage organization would have been unpredictable. ”
"What's more, my arrival may have caused his dissatisfaction, for me who has won the position he expected, a day or two may not be good, but as the days go by, I am afraid that everything will be difficult to say. Rather than break up unhappily in the future, it's better to let go and leave these suitable things to him now. It was in the True Knowledge, now in the ruins of Amanda, and Lilith, in my opinion, belongs there. Luo Ming stared at the orange flame in his hand, and pointed to the direction behind him with his thumb and said lightly.
Hearing this, Lilith turned her head in a complicated mood, the dry wind of the desert blew away the green silk that she had managed to pick up, and in her bright eyes, Igor stood in the crowded slave labor in the dilapidated and stacked shack behind her, even if the slave workers were unkempt and ragged, his face was not the slightest discomfort, but his face was full of confident smiles, and he was dancing to describe the future happiness to the slaves.
Lilith's tense expression slowly stretched, but it still looked lost, perhaps sensing the owner's low mood, Elsa who was still in a lump and sleeping in Lilith's arms arched, and the little tail hooked Lilith's placket and jumped out of her neckline, first circled around the air a few times to wake up and fell asleep, and then ran down happily Lilith's cheeks rubbed around.
"Ah, it's itchy, Elsa, Elsa, stop making a fuss. Lilith pulled Elsa off her face, held the little blue ball with one hand, and doted on its round body, "Good, don't make trouble here now, go back quickly, and play with you when my sister goes back." ”
While Lilith teased Elsa, Walter was bored among his companions, still thinking about the whereabouts of Difana, but he was too embarrassed to ask the new mentor, so he had to look curiously at the dilapidated houses around him, and before he could think of it, he inadvertently looked up, but saw everything that words could not describe.
"Teacher, look at the heavens!", Walter's cries caught everyone's attention, and they all raised their heads in unison to look up at the dark and impure sky.
"What's the matter, there are gods in the sky?, alas, I'll go, how did it come out on its own?" The next place of the mage's eye, hearing the shout, he also subconsciously raised his eyelids and glanced at it, his brain, which was drowsy because of the complicated calculation, suddenly sobered up, and on the dim cloud curtain, the fragments of the tower that could only be observed from the special perspective of Roger's right eye, at this time, were lined up and around the pale golden mage's eye, floating up and down irregularly, and the starlight dotted among the building fragments changed into a complex and mysterious trajectory in the flow, making the already fantastical air ruins more dreamlike。
Lilith covered her mouth with her hands and tried to suppress herself, the scene in front of her did not appear even in her dreamiest dreams, and she lost the ability to speak for a moment. Aisha, who had her head shrunk in her hand, was more curious than frightened about the ruins in the air, and raised her little head to look at it for a while, and it suddenly noticed that those flowing points of light were moving interestingly, tilted its head and thought for a moment, and then it let out a soft cheer, and before Lilith could react, it was like a blue lightning rush up the unreal air ruins.
"Elsa, don't go over!"
Lilith's anxious cry was apparently ignored by Elsa, who was driven by her playful nature, and saw that her small body flickered a few times, and then disappeared into the starlight that was circulating in mid-air, and danced happily with those starlight. As Aisha blended into it, the random flow of starlight actually stopped, Aisha closed her eyes and wanted to turn her head in the blue starlight, but she felt that something was wrong, and when she opened her black bean-like eyes, those blue starlight actually formed a light blue vortex centered on the mage's eye.
Roger was stunned to see the changes in front of him, things were out of his control for the first time, from the words of the previous dark wizard Aaron, it is not difficult to know that the staff in Roger's hand is the key to the storage vault, and he has been studying the use of the staff to awaken the ruins, but he didn't expect that the problem that was giving Roger a headache was solved by that little group.
"Wait a minute, are these ruins revealed because of Elsa's presence?, is Elsa the key?" Roger muttered in hindsight.
No matter how Roger and the others thought, the changes in mid-air continued, and the blue vortex gradually stabilized, and there was no trace of the mage's eye at this time. Just as Roger thought that the change was over, a pair of slender feet stepped out of the mirror-like light gate, and then a woman with a faint light lingering all over her body appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Mentor Yvette?!"
