Paul stood in the harbor, staring at the sea in a daze. Since the teacher Ge Yin brought everyone here, the burden on his body has also been lightened a lot.

A few months ago, under Uncle Joey's arrangement, with the blessings of the crowd, and the envy and jealousy of some young people, he and Beth had a slightly hasty wedding.

While he was still experiencing what it was like to get married, Beth had already entered the role of a housewife. The feeling of bondage also came to Paul at that moment, and perhaps there were other reasons for the bondage, such as the little bedroom that temporarily sheltered them from the elements.

The people who followed the teacher in a panic not only did not alleviate the shortage of manpower, but brought many problems that must be solved first. Everyone has things to deal with, and everyone thinks their own things are more important, so he can only borrow to live in Joey's house for now. If you want to have your own home, it is still far away.

The people have long since settled down, but the hearts of the people have been restless. Without the support of the City of Wisdom, a group of people huddled here and felt that the future was bleak.

Since they have decided to survive here, then they must fit in. As a result, they began to have frequent contact with the local natives and became constantly involved in local disputes.

Sowing discord and fishing in troubled waters is already a breeze for scholars. After some calculations, the nearest town has been taken in, thus solving the food problem this winter.

At present, the residents of the town are still dominated by Huairou and continue to follow the local way of governance. Scholars do not want to destroy the customs of the place until they have an absolute advantage. In just a few months, the scholar has developed an image of neutrality and not much aggressiveness.

And after inadvertently revealing enough force to protect himself, the relationship with the surrounding forces has become more and more harmonious, and even has a sworn ally.

The slight opening up did not make Paul happy. Because with the teacher came the very unfortunate news that the war had begun. Although they were far removed from the war, Paul had many puzzles. Why do teachers think this place is safe, and if this place is safe, why don't they go out of their way to open up this place?

Many things have happened recently, and he has gradually lost confidence in his teachers. The previous efforts and injustices suffered by themselves were unexpectedly gone.

This is not a city of wisdom, and there should be no more competition and internal friction between factions. However, it is a bit inappropriate for the teacher to allow the contradictions to continue to exist, and to allow the rifts that have already appeared to continue to grow.

When Joey tells him that his teacher, Ge Yin, is actually hiding from outside threats. When I saw the teacher landing on the harbor with everyone in embarrassment. He just wanted to figure out, between the teacher and Buzz, who was really afraid of death?

After all, the latter seems to have chosen eternal life, but in fact he has chosen to face the threat with the wizard Bran. And his teacher, on the other hand, is a real evasion. Paul didn't think that such a man who had lost his courage could lead the way here.

Not far away, Ge Yin sat in the hut a little sleepy. In order to disturb people's hearts, he put on a posture of sharing weal and woe, and chose this small simple house as his residence.

But this does not eliminate much discontent, and many negative things are slowly accumulating. He doesn't deal with many things because fairness doesn't really eliminate the hidden dangers that exist. Fair handling seems to calm the grievances of some people, but at the same time, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people being dealt with.

He thought he had a clear conscience, and at least he had taken these people out of danger. In just a few months, he occupied a small town under his arrangement. And instead of causing unnecessary trouble, on the contrary, won some allies.

But that wasn't enough, he had to speed up and take a place inland, as the small harbor wasn't safe. There were some things he didn't dare to make public, and that would only add to the panic.

Ge Yin was sure that this place would not attract attention, and it would not attract war, because the ancient books called it a place of death. A lifeless land that will not be prying eyes of the gods.

In Ge Yin's opinion, this place was still alive and well, and there was no need for them mortals to compete with the gods. What did the gods want? He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

He just needs to know what he wants.

Take these people away from the strife of the gods and live their lives in peace, so that the legacy of scholars can continue to be passed on from generation to generation.

However, even this hope may not be realized.

A few days ago, a big bird came here carrying an old man, and when he landed, the big bird immediately turned into a young man. It's as if they've entered their own backyard, pointing fingers at them as if no one else is around, and they don't even shy away from their words falling into the ears of others.

In the midst of the tension, Ge Yin received the two. When facing the two of them, Ge Yin felt as if he was looking at a child.

The young man, who calls himself "Maddie", is traveling with his teacher. I stumbled upon this place, so I came over to take a look at it out of curiosity.

Maddie didn't introduce the old man. From the gaze and tone of voice, Ge Yin knew that he was not qualified.

Yes, if he is facing a god, then he is really not qualified.

Maddie briefly inquired about the origin of Ge Yin and the others, and then asked some things about wizards with great interest. When Ka Yin pretended to unintentionally tell the deeds of the great wizard Bran, the attitude of the two became much kinder. They were not surprised by Bran's deeds, but rather a little contemptuous.

Who is qualified to despise the Grand Wizard Bran?

After the two left, Ge Yin understood that the gods had not forgotten this place, so it was not safe here.

Maddie carried her teacher back to her hometown. Before, he wanted to continue to go deep into the Barren Continent, but was rudely stopped by the teacher. The teacher explained, "There's a mad dog there, trying to tell people he's not crazy. But the magic doesn't deceive us, they are restless with that mad dog. No one will provoke him at this time, so wait patiently for a while. As the depression and anger in his heart are gradually released, the madness will also subside, and someone will naturally find him at that time. ”

After seeing his sister's figure, Bran began to vibrate his magic more frequently. The fluctuations caused gradually crossed the sea, spreading his undisguised provocation and malice. But to his disappointment, no one came to his door.
