Chapter 539: Old Man Two
In the evening, the whole mountain village seems to be covered with a layer of golden light, and a few wisps of cooking smoke gradually rise from the mountain village. In the small river outside the mountain village, the children who had been pestering the old man were playing in the water until a few adults rushed to the river, and one by two ran home with their bare butts. At the head of the village, a few peasant women crossed their waists and called their children home for dinner, and several farmers came back from the fields together, carrying farm tools on their backs, and smoking a few puffs of old cigarettes from time to time.
Phil and Wizard Devon were still sitting under the old tree at the head of the village, looking at this painting of a calm and peaceful mountain village.
However, such a calm picture was soon disturbed by two discordant voices that were approaching from afar.
"I didn't lie to you, I really saw a shadowy carriage!"
"The carriage is so big, why didn't there be any movement when it ran over?"
"Because it's like a shadow, when the shadow comes running, will there be any movement?"
"Nonsense, how can there be a shadow-like carriage?"
"Yes!"
"There's a fart, it's not good to learn to hunt with me, I want to listen to that dead old man's nonsense, what kind of big trees that can talk, honey flower butterflies, green vine snakes, and pu fireflies, it's all nonsense!"
"How is it nonsense, there is clearly something, you see, that's what I said about carriage!"
Then came the sound of two hurried footsteps approaching Phil's carriage.
On this side, Wizard Devon gave Phil an embarrassed look, not knowing what to say.
"Bang bang!"
This was the sound of wood being struck, and the two resting black cats in the carriage opened their eyes slightly, changed their positions, and continued to sleep.
"It's wood, but where does it look like a shadow?"
"But before it was like a shadow......"
Don't let me see that dead old man, the next time I see him, I won't say anything, just knock him on two mallets, no matter how old he is, nonsense!"
As he spoke, the old hunter took the depressed little hunter around the carriage, preparing to go home first, and then to hunt again to-morrow, and as soon as he went around the carriage, he immediately saw the old man and the young man sitting under the old tree at the head of the village.
The four of them were quiet for a while.
"Ahem!"
The old hunter coughed heavily, said nothing, and walked far away from the old tree and into the village, completely forgetting what he had just said.
The little hunter still said hello to the Devon wizard before running to catch up with the old hunter.
"That's the new student you're going to enroll? I don't seem to want to go with you at all. Phil teased, with his eyes, he naturally saw from the beginning that the child, who was only eight or nine years old, also had wizarding talents, and seemed to be not bad, otherwise he would not have seen the carriage speeding by.
Phil's modified carriage, when driving, can turn into a shadow and move forward through the gaps in the heavy air, and the natural speed is very fast, which involves a lot of knowledge of shadow and wind elements, and the little hunter can see that maybe the talent is also related to this.
"Well, this, I have my own ideas. In the end, the Devon wizard could only say that, and let Phil laugh.
Wizards who usually go to the Old World to recruit new students will generally seek the help of the supervising wizards of their empire, and with the help of local forces, it will not take much effort at all. It's just that the old man behaves differently from ordinary wizards, and this place is still part of the Atlantan Empire, and the supervising wizards are in the center of a huge disaster, and they can't help them.
Phil didn't care that he only needed a hook of his hand to make countless parents cry and send their children over, but he just did the act of letting the children choose freely, after all, he was not a Devon wizard and could not make decisions for him.
After laughing for a while, the two of them brought the topic back to the topic of honey bread. "The origin of this matter comes from the capital of the Atlantic Empire. The Devon wizard sighed heavily.
"Oh, so coincidentally, I didn't expect anything like this to happen to me not long after I left there. ”
"Wizard Ender, where are you, and there was no sign at all?" asked Wizard Devon.
"Not really. ”
"It seems that this time it was really just a natural disaster. The German wizard did not doubt him, and said, "This matter, it happened suddenly, I also met a wizard not long ago, and I learned the news from him, it is said that the source of this catastrophe is a morning ......"
The morning in the Atlantic Empire was just as busy.
In the dilapidated house, an old, richly dressed woman with a stinky face took out a pair of worn-out shoes from the cupboard.
"Oh, this is your sister's shoes, take them, hurry up and give them to the street, I can't touch a young master, it's really a waste, I shouldn't have given birth to you......"
The poor little girl had only eaten two bites of breakfast, and then went out of the house hungry, and the man sighed, and went out to work, but with two cool nests in his arms, he quickly caught up with his daughter.
"Two wastes. The old woman spat on her saliva, stood alone in front of the mirror, stroked her face, and did not notice that there was an extremely small insect that even a formal wizard could not see without using advanced detection equipment, and this little insect was in the palm of her hand at first, first in the body of the girl who had been beheaded in the street, and then transferred to her shoes, and came to the old woman's side.
This little worm quickly walked into the old woman's body, and suddenly came down the throat to the stomach, at this time, the old woman's stomach still had some honey bread undigested, the little worm got in, and quickly nibbled on the needle-tip bee honey in the honey bread, after a while, it grew dozens of times, I don't know how long it took, it discharged thousands of eggs, and the body turned into an indelible element, integrated into the old woman's body fluids, and disappeared.
After another moment, the eggs in the old woman's stomach hatched, also gnawing on the scraps of honey bread.
The old woman didn't notice this, but suddenly felt a little hungry.
"Do you want to buy another honey bread?" As soon as the thought appeared, she could no longer suppress it, and the old woman took out the last money of the reward and ran out quickly.
After a while, she appeared in the bakery on the street, surrounded by people like her who were buying honey bread, a little crowded, and even the air was a little muddy.
In this turbid air, small insects jumped out of the old woman's body and ran into someone else's body.
After a while, the people around him invariably developed the same intense hunger as the old woman.
"I want to eat ...... so much"
Their eyes gradually became a little confused, but something in their bodies drove them to walk towards the bakery step by step.
