Others thought that Lear was just practicing his sword, and when he found out that the magician wanted to kill him, Lear began to suspect that the whole thing was not so simple.

According to the opinion of the commoners of the mountain town, Pinkov's son took advantage of Raymond's descent to storm the castle in order to marry Afra, but Lear did not think so.

He stood on the rampart, looking in the direction of the mountain road, lost in thought.

"Both Raymond and Mokel said that after the death of Pinkov's son, Andrei's second son, Bartlet, who arrived at the scene, was a friend of Pinkov's son, and his appearance was very suspicious. And everyone knows that in the last two months, Andrei and the son of Pingkov have launched a very fierce love offensive against Afra, but my appearance interrupted them. ”

"It's problematic that an intermediate magician is willing to serve a poor baron like Andrei. Examining the magician's magic bag, he was a very wealthy magician, and it would make sense to say that Baron André served the magician. There was nothing important in his magical notes, everything was normal. His transparent illusion ring is a rare treasure, because only ** masters with extraordinary attainments in illusion can use this magic, and their attainments in the field of illusion are not enough, even the holy mage cannot release it. ”

Transparent illusions are a variant of invisibility, primary invisibility cannot be used after use, and advanced invisibility can be walked after surgery, but it will be ineffective once cast. The reason why transparent illusions are rare is that they can form an enchantment-type illusion, and anyone within this enchantment is transparent to others, even if they cast a forbidden spell, others can't see it with their eyes.

"If I am a wealthy mage who does not hesitate to take a huge risk to kill an Earl of the Homan Empire, it must be because that Count is in my way. What did I do to get in his way? Could it be that the sons of the two barons failed in their pursuit of Afra? In short, a wealthy mid-level magician would definitely not stay here for the territory here, maybe for the magic treasure or something. ”

"Raymond has sent someone to investigate the two barons, first, to find out why they are targeting Afra and me, second, to find out their armed forces, and third, to see if they will attack me again. If they still want to target me, I will definitely not be able to go straight to their castle, I can only assassinate them! With the magic guide in my hand and knowing the details of their lives, I can completely attack and kill them. ”

Lear isn't a god or a detective after all, so he can only speculate to this extent, but he needs to gather enough intel to decide what to do next.

"At present, this is the most isolated environment I know, and once I appear in the outside world, it is likely that I will be detected by the red-robed high-ranking mage, so Afra and I have been forced to tie together. Still, no matter what, I can live!"

The mountain breeze blows, and Lear feels something, opens his arms, and enjoys the fresh air.

He suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and quickly turned around, only to see Afra holding a candlestick, looking at him at a loss.

Lear joked, "Afla, aren't you afraid of heights, why did you come up there?"

Afra is not in or out, it is too rude to return directly, and the two of them are already acquaintances.

She blew out the candlestick and hesitantly walked over to Lear, her hands clasped together and pressed against her lower abdomen because of nervousness.

She looked at Lear in the mountain breeze, her face flushed slightly, and whispered, "I, I...... You promise not to laugh at me, I, I'll say. ”

Lear immediately nodded earnestly and said, "If I laugh, you'll push me off the wall and fall to my death." ”

Afra pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I just pushed, I couldn't push." She suddenly realized that she would have low self-esteem when she stuttered in front of others, but when she was alone with Lear, she would not feel inferior no matter what, just nervous and shy.

She walked slowly towards the edge of the city wall, and finally a meter away from the city wall, looking at the mountains in the distance, her legs limp, and her body trembling slightly.

Lear hurriedly walked over and politely stretched out his right hand to support her waist and stood beside him. Afra shuddered and whispered a thank you.

With Lear's help, she struggled to the side of the city wall, pressed her hand against the wall, her heart beat intensified, and a sentence suddenly came out of her mouth: "Then, when you fought that day, I, I dare to stand here alone." But after saying that, he regretted it and secretly scolded himself for being reckless.

Lear rightly said, "I fought for you, and I stood in your way so that you would not be afraid of anything." By the way, you haven't answered my question yet, how did you come up? ”

Afra felt her face burn from Lear's gaze, and involuntarily turned her face sideways and whispered, "I want to see the outside world." This sentence is very fluid.

Lear didn't speak.

"I thought there was no difference between the mountains and the outside, but then I ......," Afra blushed and continued to pluck up her courage, "but then a man appeared and made me change my mind. I want to see the outside world!"

Lear's right arm strained slightly, and not only did Afra not feel shy this time, but a hint of joy rose in her heart, because she felt a sense of security from Lear that she had never felt before.

Lear felt pity for a girl whose parents died when she was a teenager, and being forced to inherit the viscount and manage a territory was not an easy thing for an ordinary woman, not to mention that she had to bear the calculations of the other two barons.

"Her fear, her coma, may have been just an instinctive act of self-preservation. She never mentions her parents at the same time, and Mokel and Raymond rarely mention her parents, perhaps she had had an unusual experience. ”

Afra looked into the distance and involuntarily leaned towards Lear, leaning against him.

"Lear, can I call you that? Can you tell me your story? I don't know who you really are. Afra whispered.

So, Lear slowly tells his story from the time the Lear family leaves the royal capital.

Afra listened attentively, she had never heard such a twisty story, and was completely attracted to Lear and immersed in the story.

Of course, Lear would automatically forget what was not suitable for her to hear, and in the end, he changed the ending: "After I was brought into the teleportation circle by that evil red-robed magician, a magnificent voice sounded in my ears, and that voice called itself the Sword God, saying that there was a beautiful woman in crisis and asked me to save her. Then, I showed up. ”

Afra pursed her lips, revealing a rare expression of disdain, but it looked even more cute.

Lear pretended to be hurt and asked, "What, don't believe me?"

A red cloud appeared on Afra's face again, and her body moved away from Lear slightly, and she hesitated for a long time before she slowly said, "I don't believe in the sword god or something, but I trust you." ”
