Chapter 17: Opening the Door to a New World

Looking at Kreser's embarrassed expression, Old Man Stiller drank the wine in the glass again in one gulp, and looked up at the starry sky for a long time before speaking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"That's it! For the sake of the owner of this arrow, my old man will be kind enough to send you out of this Mistri Kerises Forest! Do you have a map, I'll see where we are now, and which is the nearest city! I can't even remember it, I'm old, but I don't have a good memory! ”

As he spoke, Kreeser took out the map, and Old Man Stiller's eyes lit up when he saw it, and after he took the scroll handed by Kreeser, he slowly opened it and said, "Young man, the map is good!" It's detailed, and your father gave it to you too? ”

"This is what my father forced into me when I was leaving, and this ring." Krezer smiled.

"I've only seen this map once, and I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it again, hehe! Let me see where we are now! ”

The old man Stiller, wearing a black turban, skillfully took the map from Kraser's hand, but he didn't see any movement, only to see a small red dot on the map, and then the old man Stiller's hands kept flying on the map, and soon found the waterhole they were in in the northwest of the Mistrikreth Forest.

After seeing the movements of the old man Stiller's hand stopped, he poked his head, looked at the old man in surprise, and asked enviously, "How did you do it!" I can only see this when I know the exact location! ”

"This is a symbol of strength, boy, the higher the spiritual power, the clearer you can see, if you let those legendary beings on the mainland get it, let alone this waterfall, they can see what we are doing under the waterfall." Looking at Fraser with an admiring expression, Old Man Stiller nodded his head with his finger.

Hearing this, Krazer suddenly gasped, and at this time he realized how important the map his father gave him! It turned out that it wasn't that his father didn't care about him, it was just that he wasn't good at expressing it.

"Boy, there are two pieces of news! Let's start with the bad news! That's when you're totally going in the opposite direction of El Rado. Stiller said with a smile. Good news! It's your luck, if you go any further, you'll end up in the Elven Forest of Esenheim! It's even more dangerous than where monsters live, and you know how lucky you are this time! Hahaha! It's so much fun to have a map like this where you can still get lost! You kid has a treasure mountain and you don't know it! ”

After listening to Old Man Stiller's words, Krazer blushed and snatched the map, put it away indignantly, and asked, "Just tell me how I should get out of this damn forest!" Stop laughing at me! In the past half a month, I have been trembling, and I can't even sleep well! ”

"Boy, be cheerful, since you have gone deep into the depths of the forest of Mystrikareses, do you want to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed! Think about it! It's full of dangers, but it's not a great place to exercise! You can't just rush to complete the commission. You also have to stop from time to time to look at the scenery around you, life is a journey without a destination, you can enjoy the scenery all the way, don't take a curtain call too early, and leave regrets in vain. ”

"I love to travel and I like to travel freely. I think travel is like life. Most people like a landscape, a city, or even a country, and they want to wait years to reach their goal. I'm not like that, I like to travel aimlessly, avoiding crowds and heading for the road that leads nowhere. It's like a dandelion taking off on the wind of freedom, not knowing where it is going or where it falls. You can drink morning dew to moisten your mind, you can listen to the sun to open your mind, and you can bathe in the wind and rain to rinse your soul. It's the same with being a human being, plain is the true taste, and happiness is the need of life. Life is long, you don't have to be in a hurry all the time, and you often lose yourself by running tirelessly. ”

"In this way, the mood will be naturally good, and things will go smoothly, you look at me, I don't even bring a map, I don't count wherever I go, I don't deliberately pursue a certain goal, and spread my magic concept along the way, how good is this! Boy, there's nothing wrong with doing something purposefully, but if you're doing this one thing and ignoring other things that are related to it, you're too rigid. In this way, your understanding of magic will always stay in the books, and you will not make any further progress. ”

"Okay, it's too late today, from tomorrow onwards, you can train according to the method I taught you! Now that we're deep into the Forest of Mystrekares, we can't make a trip for nothing, I'll show you the power of lightning magic! Let you know why lightning magic is known as the most powerful magic! Tomorrow, we set off into the depths of the Mystrikreethes Forest, where I'll take you through this mysterious forest, and now get ready for sleep! Without waiting for Krazer's consent, the old man Stiller fell to the ground with a thud, and fell asleep, and in a few moments he began to snore loudly, leaving Krazer to sit there, reminiscing about what he had just said.

After thinking about it for a long time, apparently not understanding what Old Man Stiller said very thoroughly, Krazer shook his head helplessly, added some branches to the weakening bonfire, took Tanatos into his arms, and lay down on the other side of the campfire. Kratzer rested his head on his hands, looking at the dense stars in the sky, and his heart was still thinking about what had happened in the past six months, and what had happened in these days was more than what had happened in the previous twenty-six years. On early autumn nights, a cool gust of mountain wind blows, bringing with it the roar of beasts deep in the forest, adding a touch of mystery to the forest of Mistrikreeth. Kratzer hugged the little guy who moved his limbs from time to time in his arms, and closed his eyes.

The next day, early in the morning! The sun had just risen, the waterfall in the distance was still roaring, the bonfire had long since been extinguished, a wisp of blue smoke was slowly drifting into the air, and the birds of the woods were chirping. The dew wets the branches and adds a touch of life to the forest.

"Get up! Slacker! I got breakfast back, why are you still sleeping! Old man Stiller shouted loudly as he threw the wild fruit in his hand at the sleepy-eyed Kreeser.

"Please, thanks to your old man, I didn't sleep much last night, don't you know that your snoring is even louder than thunder, no wonder there are no wild beasts at night, my feelings are frightened by your snoring, I think some monster occupies here." Krazer yelled dissatisfied, rubbing his eyes, and Tanatos on the side also pointed at his little eyes with his little paws, as if to say that he hadn't slept well last night.

"Alright, alright, hurry up! The plan of the day is in the morning, and the morning is the best time to exercise your mental strength, so don't waste it. You know, the morning is not only the time when the animals are foraging, but also the time when the elements are at their most abundant. Hurry up! Old man Stiller took a bite of the fruit in his hand and taught him a lesson.

"I haven't said anything about these books! How do you know! It can't be nonsense! Krezer asked, dissatisfied.

"Stinky boy, it's better to believe in books than to have no books, if you don't practice some knowledge, you will never know whether it is right or wrong, hurry up and wash up, and then seize the time to meditate." Stiller kept urging.

"Got it! Why are you in such a hurry like my father? ”

Krazer tidied up his clothes, then sat in place and meditated, and it didn't take long for one or two slender arcs to flash around him from time to time, making a crackling sound, and for a while, the density of the thunder element in this place was much higher than that of other elements, and these were not visible with the eyes, and could only be felt with mental power. Gradually, fine sweat oozed from Kreze's head, only to hear Krezer snort, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the meditation was interrupted.

"What's going on, boy?" Stiller asked anxiously as he looked at Kraser, puzzled.

"It's the sequelae of magic backlash, I forgot to tell you, I'm not just an affinity for the thunder element, I'm also an elemental affinity for the wind, fire, water, and three systems, and I'm the wound left by the simultaneous backlash of the four systems of magic." Kreizer wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile, the talent that was enviable in the eyes of others has become a burden on him, which can't help but make people feel that creation makes people feel embarrassed.

"I see, I can't see it, your kid is still a rare multi-element affinity! But that's not right! I saw yesterday that you were surrounded by faint lightning elements, which proves that you have used lightning magic recently! How could it be! Since you've cast your magic, you shouldn't have a problem! It's strange, what did your father say about it? Looking at Kreeser who was slowly wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Old Man Stiller couldn't help but have doubts on his face, he frowned with his hands behind his back and asked Frazer a few times around.

"My father told me that the man who saved me once said that I could no longer use advanced magic in my life." Krazer thought for a moment and replied.

"Then how did you release the thunder magic recently, you think about it carefully." Old Man Stiller asked, after a moment's thought.

"That's because I brought the ring that Old Jack gave me, and I was able to release the thunder magic. Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you, Old Jack is the one who taught me the secret recipe for winemaking and my client for this mission, a strange old man who lives in the mountains west of our town, but he is not a bad person. Perhaps desperate to find a solution to his troubles, Kreizer replied truthfully after only a moment's thought.

"There is such a magical ring? Take out the ring and I'll take a look! Old Man Stiller stretched out his hand and asked unceremoniously.

"This ring was damaged in my battle with the wolf, and all that's left is this unknown crystal, which only makes a hen as big as an eagle." As he spoke, Kratzer took the ring that Old Jack had given him from the spatial ring and handed it to Old Man Stiller.

But when Old Man Stiller saw the unknown crystal that Krazer took out, his expression suddenly changed greatly, he snatched it, carefully held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and finally scolded angrily.

"What an idiot! Very foolish! Put on airs! You. You. You're so mad at me! You're taking your baby to feed the chickens? Why don't you feed yourself to it, what an idiot! Holding the unknown crystal already lying in his hand with trembling hands, the old man Stiller's body trembled like a sieve, which made Kreezer wonder if the old man would die in the heat of his emotions.

"This is the magic gem, you know, it can make us cast spells faster, it can greatly reduce the cast time, but its biggest benefit is that it can reduce the adverse reactions caused by overcasting, this is how many magicians dream of treasure, you actually use it to feed chickens? You find a rock and kill you, you don't understand, stinky boy! After snuggling his finger on Kraser's head, Old Man Stiller glared at him fiercely, wanting to eat Kraser.

Seeing that Old Man Stiller was so excited, Krazier also knew that he seemed to have done something wrong, although he wiped the spit sprayed on his face with his hand and retorted quietly.

"Didn't I know! If I knew that this thing called a magic gem was so useful, I wouldn't just leave it around! ”

"Alright! Now that it's happened, so be it! He said he didn't say where the rough was found? Old Stiller asked hopefully.

"Well, let me think! Old Jack seemed to have said that he had picked it up on a mountain road leading to the Confused Swamp, but he didn't say exactly where it was. I didn't ask again. Krazer replied after a moment's thought.

"Confused Swamp? Where it turned out to be? Looks like I'm really going to have to go! Hearing the name Swamp of Confusion come out of Kraser's mouth, Old Man Stiller's heart couldn't help but move, as if he remembered something in his memory, and his body tensed involuntarily. Then he raised his head, stared at the bewildered Frazer in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes, and clapped his hands. "Okay boy, I wanted to train you for a while longer, but now it seems that this time is going to be greatly shortened, I have to send you idiot out of this forest quickly, and then I will go treasure hunting, old man. From now on, I'm going to you hard, just take it as a lesson for you to waste! ”

"Oh!"

Kraeer suddenly lost his energy when he heard this, he drooped his head listlessly, and whispered, and the little Tana on the side actually covered his mouth with two little paws, showing an anthropomorphic smirk, and the old man Stiller kicked him fiercely.

"What are you laughing at, you have to give me special training from today onwards, if you can't achieve my goal, you don't want to drink anymore!"

As soon as Old Man Stiller's words fell, the man and beast looked at each other, and at the same time a smile appeared on their faces like a brother in distress.
