240 Past
"Yikes! ——”
As soon as the words fell, dozens of mournful screams echoed in the empty room, and the temperature plummeted to freezing.
Vic felt a few shades of wind blow past him, and the chill that soaked his bones spread from his spine to his scalp, and the blood in his body was cooling rapidly.
"Ahh - Squeak! ”
Suddenly, a terrible scream pierced the silence of the room, a roar that was no longer a human or any living being, and it pierced people who couldn't help but cover their ears. Even though he had covered his ears tightly, with the howling wind, the annoying sound waves still penetrated through his fingers, making people feel a throbbing pain in their temples.
"Hmm......" Vic couldn't help but curl up.
After a long time, the screams finally became weaker and weaker until they stopped. He slowly raised his head, only to find that at some point, the dark shadow of the stone chamber gradually faded, and the faint light brightened again.
The furious wraith is long gone, only the thin dead air floating in the air and the choking stench that permeates the nose prove that it did exist. Kevin, who had been caught earlier, was slowly getting up from the ground and brushing the dust off his robe.
Looking at the unscathed man, Vic's tongue was a little knotted, "You, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." The large amount of magic consumption made his face a little pale, and Kevin flipped through the ring, only pulling out two vials of recovery potion. After thinking about it, I still raised my head and drank it all.
"Where's that thing?"
"Eat."
“……”
Compared to the little black mist left, Vic twitched the corners of his mouth.
Ignoring Vic, who was constipated, Kevin walked to the front of the high platform to take a closer look, and just wanted to reach out to remove the protection on the surface of the light ball, a hideous face suddenly appeared in the center of the light ball, and he grinned and was about to bite the palm of his hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly, his five fingers suddenly became claws, and with a sharp twitch, the distorted face let out a short scream, and his facial features suddenly became a mess.
Looking at the small wound in the palm of his hand, a trace of white smoke was emitting, and Kevin playfully hooked the corners of his mouth.
This defensive spell is inconspicuous, but extremely corrosive, and if it is placed on the surface of the ball of light, it is easy for an intruder to fall into its path if he relaxes for a moment. However, for Kevin, who is also a shadow mage, this kind of damage is just a child.
What kind of thing is it that deserves to use a lot of enchantments to protect it?
Heh, it's getting more and more interesting.
Reaching into the ball of light, the dazzling white light on the surface flickered a few times, gradually dimmed, and the object in the center also revealed its true face.
There are two things inside, one of which Kevin, who is a shadow mage, naturally recognizes, and the other one...... He glanced behind him without a trace, and sure enough, he caught a glimpse of Vic's pale face.
Deliberately removing the object and checking it in his hand, Kevin sneered, "A broken sword? This man's taste is really special. With that, he dropped his sword at his feet.
Poof! ——
The metal slammed against the hard tiles with a screeching sound, each of which was like a sledgehammer striking Vic's heart, muffled and painful. Not paying attention to Kevin's teasing gaze, he stared blankly at his eyes for a long time, slowly bent down to pick up the long sword, and rubbed it carefully.
It's a good sword that's been honed over time. I have heard that the materials are all rare and superb, and the gems inlaid in them are rare stones, which will even resonate with the soul of the owner when it stimulates the fighting spirit. When he took it from his father, the jealous eyes of the two older brothers almost pierced him.
However, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it can't withstand the baptism of time, and the original delicate and delicate carvings have been somewhat blurred, but the sword body is still glowing with a faint cold light, and it can be seen that it is usually well maintained.
When the fingertip touched the sapphire, a soft shimmer slowly shimmered under the previously dull spar, and it danced lightly with the movement of the finger.
At this time, Vic hung his head, and he couldn't see what expression was on his face at all. After a long time, his lips twitched a few times, and he sighed softly almost inaudibly.
"Iris ......"
*****
As soon as "vomiting ......" entered the scene, Du Yuhan immediately pulled the trunk of the tree and vomited.
Sure enough, no matter how many times you go through this kind of thing, it's still hard to accept......
He wasn't worried about Kared's sneak attack at all, because he knew that he would have enough to do just to deal with Ciel, who was in a state of rage and had already earned the title of "Creator". Therefore, he did not notice that the place where they had settled this time was not the wilderness he had been to before.
The green space at your feet is lush and surrounded by stately buildings. Looking at the young people in school uniforms not far away, they gathered together in twos and threes, squeaking and laughing, and at the same time, Kared, who was teleported in, looked around at the familiar and unfamiliar environment, and seemed to be quite stunned.
"How...... Could it be here? ”
Just as he was looking around blankly, an arrogant male voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, you're the modeling champion?"
Du Yuhan, who finally felt a little comfortable, was stunned, followed the sound, and found that at some point, there were three or four young people in their twenties standing in front of him.
When his gaze touched the handsome boy in the lead, Kareid's throat rolled up and down vigorously, and with some unknown emotion suppressed in his eyes, he pursed his lips vigorously, "...... Hill. ”
Hearing this, Hill raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but looked him up and down with his eyes, but the little followers behind him started to talk about it.
"It doesn't look like a big deal!"
"How can such a person win the championship?"
"It can't be cheating......
"Hmph, I don't know which master I bought that work."
"Look at his poor and sour appearance, how can he afford it?"
"That's right, I heard that it's a wild seed without a father and a mother!"
"Hahaha......"
The commotion in the corner quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, but these nobles were notoriously arrogant at school, and although many people saw the situation here, they had no intention of helping, and could only look at them with sympathy.
Du Yuhan pouted.
As an artist, he knows how insulting it is to be accused of cheating. This group of bear children has a vicious mouth, and at first glance, they are helping spoiled gentlemen. Although Hill didn't say anything on the surface, most of the reason why the gang was so open-mouthed was because of his connivance.
In the face of the coaxing of a group of people, Kareid did not react, only glanced at them coldly.
In the end, it was a group of nobles who deceived the good and feared the evil, and they were so frightened that they shrunk their necks when they stared at them like this, but they soon got up the courage to shout, "What kind of eyes are you?" Not convinced?! ”
"That's it, that's it! Do you know who this is?! Can you afford to mess with it?! After speaking, he also grabbed Kared's collar and threatened viciously, "Isn't it just a mongrel, don't think that if you come to the academy by relying on some connections, you can see no one!" ”
Compared to the tall Cared, the aristocratic boy's coercion is ridiculous. But Kareid knew in his heart that he had not withstood the other party's provocation back then, and his head rushed up and scuffled. Compared with those who are strong and strong, they who have been malnourished since childhood are naturally beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
But this time, he only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and he had no intention of resisting at all.
The other party's disapproval completely angered the aristocratic boy, and he even heard a chuckle from the crowd of onlookers behind him. I saw that his eyes were fierce, and he raised his fist and was about to smash it down, "You-"
"Stop." A white arm stretched out horizontally, stopping the teenager's atrocity.
"Ciel?"
"Isn't it just a competition, what's the big deal, to be yelling here?" Hill furrowed his brow, his face full of displeasure.
"But he robbed you of the championship and blocked you!" The boy was indignant.
"What's the blockage? It's just a broken game, you think I'm going to care?! The pierced Ciel glared at him fiercely, "It's you, why do you keep following me?" Annoying! ”
"Uh, hehe, we don't want to follow Master Hill......" The other boy quickly sneered.
"Okay, okay, don't give me nonsense, I feel ashamed." Glancing at them angrily, Hill glanced at the expressionless Karred again, and turned around and left without looking back, "Let's go, boring." ”
"Huh? Just let him go? In response, he was greeted by a thick book.
With a scream, several people chattered a few more cruel words, and quickly followed the young man's footsteps and left.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery quickly decomposed, and the two fell into a white mist.
Looking at these memories that he had never met, Du Yuhan twitched the corners of his mouth.
After cracking the sandbox's barrier, he tried to enter it a few more times to see if something would be different. But each time it came first was the last fight in Ciel's life, and he thought that was the end of the enchantment. I didn't think that after pulling Kared in, it would be a different look.
Du Yuhan vaguely felt that he seemed to have started a buried past.
Watching the back until it disappeared, Cared's face tensed. Suddenly, he suddenly smiled softly, "I didn't expect you to have a new method, it's really surprising." ”
Du Yuhan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put on a fighting posture. Although they are in the middle of an enchantment now, normally speaking, even if Kared beats him out of a flower, he can't hurt him in reality. But the taste of being beaten up is not so pleasant.
Seeing this, Kareid became even more arrogant, "Hmph, you think I don't know a way to return to reality? ”
What the?
There was a chuckle in his heart, and without waiting for Du Yuhan to react, he pulled out a slender ice blade and wiped it off with force on his neck.
Emma! You can't die!
But before he could pounce, a thick piece of wood flew into the air and slammed into the back of Kared's head.
Boom!
"Hmm!"
"Hiss......" Seeing that Kareid bent down in pain, Du Yuhan twitched his cheeks and covered his head with empathy. Tsk, it really hurts to look at it......
"I'll go! You're sick, aren't you?! A neutral male voice hurried over, and Hill was carrying a rough axe on his shoulder, which did not fit in with the silk robe on his body.
"Why don't you just lose me in a fight, and you can commit suicide?"
…… Belch?
At this time, the surrounding white mist quickly gathered, and after a while, the two switched to a dense forest. Behind him stood a simple wooden house, a long shadow from the evening sunset, a trace of white smoke rising from the firepit, and a large pile of unprocessed firewood piled up in a messy manner.
Grinning at his teeth, Cared struggled to look up at the nervous culprit.
"Look at you like a bear, you're going to die if you chop wood, or are you not a man?" Despite his fierce mouth, Hill crouched down to take a closer look at Careid's injuries, "You said you were going to die, stay away, don't die next door to me." I'm already unlucky enough to be punished by the dean to chop wood with you, so don't hurt me again. ”
When Kiyojun's face leaned over, Khared's body froze almost invisibly. Until the blood marks on his neck were disposed of, he still didn't come back to his senses, and his eyes were still stunned.
"What do you see, you still don't work?" Faced with such a sworn enemy, Hill was quite dissatisfied, only as if he was taking the opportunity to be lazy, "Do you want to eat tonight?" If you don't eat me, I'll eat it. ”
Shoved a lighter axe, he dragged the tool with great difficulty and continued to work hard, not forgetting to mumble and complain, "Tsk, the dean is really hateful." If you chop wood, you can chop wood, why are you not allowed to eat if you can't finish chopping? As far as his damage is concerned, he is as flat as a kelp, and I don't think he will be able to finish this job next year......"
Looking down at the axe in his hand, Khared's handsome face, which had always been unwavering, finally revealed a little contradiction.
Du Yuhan, on the other hand, quietly hid behind a tree, trying to shrink his sense of existence.
For the first time, he didn't want to be noticed by Cared, so as to avoid provoking the other party and doing some irrational behavior, it was best to delay it until Kevin could come and help.
Second, he was lying to say that he was not curious about the past between Hill and Kared. It's just that Vic is stuffy and refuses to say anything, and Kared is crackling and saying a bunch of words but doesn't understand a word. So now he is sneaking a look, it's not a snooping on privacy, right?
Staring at the axe in a daze, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Cared's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and threw the axe to the ground.
Syllable!
But at this moment, there was another excited shout.
"Hey! Coffin face! Ciel, who was covered in mud, knelt under the roots of the tree and dug something so hard that he didn't even know where the axe had been dropped, "Come and see!" Look what I found! ”
Kareed's figure froze, and he subconsciously walked slowly in the direction of the man, "...... What the? ”
Du Yuhan, who was not far away, also poked his head out and tried to squint his eyes to look into the distance.
What is that?
"Look, it's a devil's mouth mushroom!" Holding it up to Cared like a treasure, Hill smiled and narrowed his eyes. I saw a cluster of palm-sized black mushrooms resting in the palm of the palm, the spots on the surface were slightly shiny like gold, and there were a few drops of crystal dew on it, which was very cute.
"This color is fresh, I guess it has only come out in the past two days! If you catch another hare, haha, you won't have to go hungry tonight! "When I think of scented rabbits, accompanied by delicious wild mushrooms...... His saliva was pouring out.
Gently supported by the white palm, the mushroom top looks round and lovely, and the man who has always been arrogant has an innocent smile.
Kared opened his lips slightly, and soft ripples appeared in his indifferent eyes. As if bewitched, he slowly raised his hand and stretched out, not knowing whether he wanted to take the wild mushroom in his hand, or to hold the hand holding the wild mushroom.
But just as they were about to touch it, there was an uproar, and both men and wooden houses turned into a thick wall of fog.
Looking at the empty palm in a daze, Kared paused and slowly clenched his fists.
