In the boy's perception, the black light was like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into his head, and then the headache seemed to explode. He had never felt such pain www.biquge.info even more painful than the ring marks burned by the touch before, and it replaced the perception of his whole body in just a moment, there was no warm trunk behind him, there was no pleasant insect chirping in his ears, there was no silver moonlight in front of him, there was only pain, endless pain.

If it hurts like this, maybe I'll die, but I don't know what it's like when I die, and if I feel pain......

The old man who had succeeded in the blow took advantage of the chaos to disappear into the night sky like a bat, and Teacher Honorom's mouth opened wide as if to exclaim, and there was an extra trace of despair in Minelma's cold eyes...... This was the last image that came to mind before the unconscious Morin passed out.

……

……

I don't know how long it took, the pain gradually faded, and Merlin felt that there was no longer endless darkness around him, as if something was growing slowly, little by little.

The cheeks are slightly itchy, is it the kiss marks of the gentle night breeze, or is it the tip of someone's hair that seems to be in a dream from a long time ago? The scene in front of me is constantly changing, one moment is the chubby Pike Papa with a kind smile, the next is Minelma in silver heavy armor, the next is Xiao Hei who is chirping in the air, and the next is a thin and slender figure in black, why does it look so familiar, who will it be...... The name that the voice in my ear read softly, Roserlinde, where had I heard it, it was obviously not Minerma's cold and arrogant voice, whose voice was full of reluctance, and pronounced this name in my ear......

Seemingly, something very important was forgotten......

……

……

After another unknown amount of time, his surroundings warmed up, and Merlin felt a fresh fragrance envelop him, and he struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and then his eyes were stung by the bright sun.

As his vision cleared, a black object suddenly appeared in front of him, and at the same time, something warm touched his nose. Morin was startled and came to his senses, only to find that the black thing turned out to be Xiao Hei.

I saw that Xiao Hei ran out of the ring marks at some point, and was curiously touching the young man's nose. Seeing that the boy woke up, he first stepped back in shock, and then grinned his dark red mouth, and his slender arms were almost bubbling with red and yellow flames, and he was chirping, looking extremely excited.

Mo Lin looked at the black flames floating in front of him, felt that the connection between himself and Xiao Hei seemed to have become stronger, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Hei, do you understand what I am saying?"

"Chirp ......" Xiao Hei floated his body up and down, as if in affirmation.

The young man was happy and asked, "Where is this?"

Sure enough, Xiao Hei's intelligence was still limited, and he was stumped before this question, his two slender arms waved wildly, and a pair of small dark green eye bones were spinning, and he wanted to express something but obviously couldn't express it. In the end, he was in a hurry, so he simply fell directly on Morin's shoulders, stretched out his arms, and signaled that I don't know where this is, young man, you can see for yourself.

So Maureen propped himself up, looked around, and found himself in a small wooden house.

The log walls were blackened and looked old, and there were simple tools and weapons hanging from the walls, nothing special, his big brown backpack was placed beside the bed, and there was a small window on the wall near the bed, from which the warm morning sun poured in, and some vines protruding through the window and growing comfortably in the room.

It's just that where does that intoxicating aroma come from?

The boy's eyes searched the room for the source of the fresh fragrance, and then locked on to a flower beside him. This is a very inconspicuous small flower, pale yellow stamens, only three white petals on the side, each no more than the size of a finger, together with a triangular emerald green calyx and a slender flower stalk, lying quietly in front of the pillow, as if someone picked it off and deliberately put it here. He gently held up the small white flower and placed it in front of his nose, and as expected, a richer fragrance came to his face.

The young man's expression was a little sluggish, and he seemed to be in deep thought: "What kind of flower is this, it looks so ordinary, but it is so fragrant, it makes no sense, is it ......?"

"Star of Electric Pea?!" Morin couldn't help but exclaim.

He remembered a book he had read, "An Overview of Todel's Rare Herbs" In that book, there was indeed a similar illustrated book, and he could clearly recall the descriptions: what seemed to be an ordinary roadside wildflower, which in fact only grew in the holiest part of the forest, could heal mental wounds, and at the same time its rich fragrance could only be smelled by the mentally wounded, found in the Second Age, and later named the Star of Electric Peya by the master of apothecary Orhan Lee, in honor of that beautiful and heroic princess, Ilekepeia.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside, interrupting Merlin's thoughts.

Xiao Hei's courage seemed to be a little bigger, and when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he didn't hide back in the ring marks, but floated to the back of the young man's neck, and poked out a small green eye to look at the comer.

"Little ghost, you finally woke up, what you just said was the name of this flower?" Pushing the door in, it was Minelma, who was still wearing the hideous silver armor at this time, but the helmet was pinned to her waist again, revealing her golden hair and cold and arrogant face, but when she saw Merlin wake up, there was still a hint of joy and relief in her indifferent expression, of course, this was only a flash.

"Well, Star of Electric Pea, I have seen in the book, very precious herbs, was it picked for me by Teacher Honorome?" Morin replied earnestly as he sniffed the little flower.

"Isn't it precious, Honorom, that fellow went after that suspicious mage, this flower was placed by the druid named Lancer at the head of your bed, he said that you would wake up, told me to take care of it here, and said that you had better keep smelling the flower until you couldn't smell it. Minelma said coldly, "This flower looks ordinary, presumably not very precious, druids are all people who only care about guarding their own traditions, if those two druids helped last night, even if it was a reminder, you would not be so seriously injured." ”

She was haunted by the teenager's injury.

Although Morin felt that the Star of Ilekepeia was indeed very precious, and the druids were not necessarily as unbearable as he said, she spoke for herself in this way, no matter what, out of concern for herself, so she no longer refused, "What about Master Lancer and the other druid? ”

"This is the temporary outpost of the druids, and after bringing you here with me last night, they left overnight, saying that they were going to report to the Council of Elders, it seems to be about the stars or something, and I think it's also a trick. ”

With disdain in her tone, Minelma paused, and continued: "Honorom said that the black light that hit you last night is a very old curse, a death magic from the realm of the dead, that mage originally wanted to kill you directly, and you can survive completely because you are born with special mental power. ”

Having said this, Minerma glanced at Merlin again, as if she was looking at something magical, and then said: "In this way, in addition to being neat, there are still some advantages, what I said before was too subjective, if you want to become a mage, such abundant mental power can help you save a lot of energy in the initial stage." You said before that you read books very quickly, is it really because you are naturally mentally strong that you read books faster, this is possible? ”

Mo Lin looked at Minerma's gaze, and felt that her cold face seemed to have more expression today, and lowered her head a little apprehensively, and muttered, "It's true......"

As the boy lowered his head, the little black on the back of his neck was revealed.

"Huh, elemental creatures?" Minelma's gaze was drawn to the black flames and she wondered.

Feeling that the eyes of the heavily armored woman suddenly fell on him, Xiao Hei was stunned, and was about to drill into the ring marks of the young man, but in a panic, he forgot his direction, and this time he actually rushed to Minerma, and was directly grasped by Minerma who reacted quickly, and his cold eyes were a little more curious, as if he wanted to cut Xiao Hei apart and take a closer look.

"Black fire elemental creatures are rare. Minerma looked at the little black in her hand over and over again, and poked its body with her fingers or pulled its arm from time to time, and looked at Mo Lin with the little black and green eyes of **, the young man naturally did not dare to disturb the interest of the high-level female warrior, and could only return the look of blessing: Xiao Hei, you ask for more blessings, who called you stupid enough to hit her hand directly, according to Daddy, no matter how cruel a woman is, she also likes cute things, hurry up and pretend to be cute, maybe you can come back intact.

Seeing that the boy was so unreliable, Xiao Hei could only look at Minerma pitifully and chirped twice.

"Hey, it's still called?" Minelma was a little more interested, and said to Merlin, "Why don't you sell me this elemental creature, I just want to collect one to play with." ”

Looking at the woman's appearance, I don't know how this "play" is playing, Xiao Hei is already imagining the tragic future of it being soaked in water by a woman, slashing with a knife, etc., and can't help but tremble, and the red and yellow firelight swayed. I felt that the woman's attention was on the young man, and I didn't know what method was used, but with a "pop" sound, it turned into wisps of flame and ran out from the woman's fingers, and without reorganizing the body, she directly drilled into the ring marks under the young man's silver ring.

"So you've solidified the connection, what a lucky little ghost. Minerma said with some regret that she didn't have a chance, so she didn't dwell on this question anymore, but continued to ask: "Then again, why did that mage want to kill you last night, how did you run from White City to the Gundi Forest, and how did you end up with that mage?"

The boy was still worried that Xiao Hei's actions would expose the ink-colored ring marks on his fingers, after all, his father and grandfather said that it was better to cover them, but he didn't expect Minelma to mistake it for a solidified connection, which was a similar contract connection between living beings, such as the gargoyle that turned into an imprint on his shoulder, and temporarily solidified the connection with himself. Recalling the introduction in the book, Morin felt that it was really a little similar, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hmm...... That's ......" the boy recalled, and began to describe what had happened last night, from the time he left the barrel tavern, and continued to speak in detail about Minelma falling from the sky in the Gundi Forest, "I think he must have been afraid that I would reveal what he said, so he targeted me......" Morin finally added, looking up to see Minelma's solemn face, and his voice unconsciously lowered.

"Are you sure he says he's lived for a thousand or two thousand years and that he's lost contact with the leader?" asked Minerma.

Her cold gaze stared at Merlin gravely, as if to make sure of the truth of his description.

"Well, I can't be mistaken. Morin replied, feeling a dull pain in his head, and quickly lowered his head and sniffed the little white flower in his hand, which was also magical, and the fragrance was like magic, and soon soothed the headache.

"This matter is more serious than expected, there may be someone else behind that mage, I need to hurry up and catch up with Honorom and tell him about it. Her face was so solemn that it seemed to freeze.

"He asked the druids to send you to the royal capital of Lothar, they left a beast outside the door, wait until you pack up and go, hurry up and get to your academy in time. In addition, whether the flower is useful or not, it should be beneficial for you to smell it for a while. ”

After a few words, Minelma turned around as if to leave, but for some reason stopped her steps in the air.

"And ...... In fact...... I should apologize to you," she turned her back to Morin, who was half-sitting on the bed, and her voice was a little complicated: "Last night I was too confident that I thought that blow was enough to incapacitate that mage, and I didn't check it in the first place, which caused you to be injured and almost die." Honorom says that you may be left with some sequelae, so let you go to the academy and check him out. Well...... I'm ......"

"No," Merlin touched his head and interrupted Minelma's words, "Who would have thought that scary old man would be so weird, he could still move even after so many broken bones, and besides, I'm fine, and I've been injured since I was a kid and can recover quickly, haha, this time will not be an exception." As he spoke, the boy's expression brightened brighter, as if he was intoxicated by his extraordinary talent.

"Yes...... Minelma's back trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but she finally took a step and pushed the door open. Her figure disappeared from the door in an instant, leaving only a string of heavy footsteps, which gradually faded into obscurity.

"Goodbye!" Morin shouted into the open space outside the door, while silently wishing in his heart: "Have a good journey, may your sword protect this world". He didn't know much about the Old Elves, but he happened to know what her name meant in the Old Elves, Minelma: The Sword Bearer of the Sky.

Sensing that the terrifying heavily armored woman was gone, Xiao Hei once again got out of the ring marks and lay on Mo Lin's shoulder, the morning sun gently sprinkled on its flaming body, Xiao Hei stretched his waist, and his dark green eyes showed a satisfied expression.

The boy jumped out of bed, still holding the Star of Electric Pea in one hand, and was about to set off with his backpack on his back, when he was suddenly attracted by a piece of stick in the corner, so he stepped forward and picked it up.

"It's ...... Was the wicked old man's half-dead wooden cane forgotten here by the druid or Minelma? He looked at the cane of dead wood, it was very ordinary, made of unknown wood, somewhat distorted, and there was no magic fluctuation, the only special thing, Maureen noticed that there was a badge or something carved on one end of the cane, he turned the cane, looked closely, and saw that it was a gray mark, an abstract pupilless eye.

This mark, the young man vaguely felt, seemed to have dreamed of it at some point, and the empty pupilless eyes made him feel a little ominous.

After thinking about it, Morin put it in a large brown bag and decided to go to the school and give it to Mr. Honorome. Looking at his torn sleeve last night, Merlin began to rejoice that his mother had prepared a few more sets of clothes for him before leaving home.

……

……

Before you know it, the scorching sun has turned into the middle of the sky, and even in the wooded Gangdi forest, there is still a hot and dry atmosphere.

When Morin walked out of the wooden house, he was surprised to find that he was standing on the branches of a huge tree, and the small wooden house he was in was actually built on the branches of this tree. It was a temporary sentinel for the druids, and he admired it in his heart. In addition to this, there is a strong herding deer on the branch, which seems to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Will you send me to the royal capital?" Looking at this creature that was stronger and taller than himself for more than a circle, Morin felt a little drumming in his heart, if he was topped for a while, it was really no joke. However, Xiao Hei was not afraid of this animal at all, and floated directly to the top of the deer's head, and his slender arms pulled its horns to swing.

And the deer just looked at the little white flower in Morin's hand, and there was no reaction at all.

"This is for healing, I can't give it to you, you can understand me, right?" Merlin approached the deer, looked into its eyes, and tried to communicate, wondering if this deer would be smarter than Xiao Hei.

The shepherd still didn't react.

"Then I'......," the boy wanted to say something.

But the tall herding deer looked impatient, and suddenly shook its head, and the majestic horns were pressed against Morin's waist.

I saw that Morin flew out of the branch like a weak doll, accompanied by his miserable cry of "ahhhhhh......h

"Ahahaha......"

This shout, but it was Morin's excited laughter.

And, of course, Blackie's excited laughter.

"Chirp...... Tweet ......"
