Tom woke up the next morning, what kind of place was this, Tom looked at the huge stone walls around him and the paintings on the walls, he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, he was now in the king's palace, and this room was the royal room! Tom was so excited that he jumped up from the bed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the wooden box next to the door was a new set of clothes and a silver chain mail. Tom put on dark pants and a long woollen blouse, and then excitedly tried on the delicate chain mail, which turned out to be just too small. Tom put on a simple brown coat over the chain mail to hide his weapon, after all, he was on a secret mission.

Tom looked at himself in the mirror and felt proud, ("so narcissistic") he really looked like he was going on an adventure, but he felt a little hesitant.

"Even the bravest knight of the Afanxia Kingdom has failed, do I really have a way to succeed?" Tom thought to himself.

"Yes, you can!" A gentle voice came from behind Tom.

Tom was startled, and turned to see Wizard Adulo standing in the doorway. Wizard Adulo had a sword in his hand and a huge wooden shield, "You may think that you could be a legendary hero, but in this wonderful age, anything can happen." ”

Tom nodded, "I guess so." ”

Wizard Adulo walked into the room, and Tom slowly crouched down and knelt on the cold stone floor in front of Wizard Adulo, he didn't know why he knelt down, but he felt as if he should do it. Wizard Adulo raised his sword, and for a moment, Tom dared to say, the sword really shone brightly, illuminating the dust flying in the air.

Wizard Adulo gazed at the sword with Tom, and Adulo lightly pointed the tip of the sword on Tom's chest, right next to the heart, "May this boy have the perseverance and determination to save the kingdom of Afansha." The wizard's voice echoed through the room, and Tom bowed his head respectfully. Then, Wizard Adulo withdrew his sword and placed it gently at Tom's feet, turning the hilt of the sword towards Tom, and simply said, "This sword is yours." ”

Tom took the sword, which was just right in his hand, and much lighter than the one he had used. Tom couldn't help but exclaim, "It's perfect! ”

Adulo then handed Tom a smooth wooden shield, finely made but very plain, and Tom remembered that he had occasionally seen knights riding past his village, but they were all accompanied by shining shields of various colors. Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Appearances are deceiving." Wizard Adulo smiled, and he read Tom's mind again, "After you embark on your journey, you will meet your allies in unexpected places, and you can't imagine the way they appear, but Tom you have a brilliant mind, remember to trust your own instincts." Well, I have other gifts for you. Wizard Adulo took out a roll of parchment from his pocket, which looked like the one Edward, the squire had taken yesterday.

Wizard Adulo spread out the parchment, and Tom found a map of the kingdom of Afanxia drawn on it, and he took a step forward to see what was on it, and then the map suddenly seemed to come to life! Trees, hills, and mountains floated up from the paper, the height of Tom's big finger. Tom cautiously touched the northern part of the map, and as he took his hand away, he found that his finger was covered with a layer of frost that was shining.

Startled, Tom looked up at Adulo, who nodded at the map and told Tom, "Look carefully." Then Tom saw a tangled path on the parchment that slowly covered the southwest of the map, where there was a black mountain range that looked dangerous.

Tom guessed, "This is the mountain where the fire-breathing dragon Feno lives." ”

"That's right." Wizard Adulo took out the golden key that Tom had seen the night before, this time with a leather necklace on it, and then, like a medal, Wizard Adulo hung the key around Tom's neck. "You must free the fire-breathing dragon Philo so we can stop the evil deeds of the dark wizard Mamer. There's a necklace that locks the fire-breathing dragon, and you have to use this key to open it. ”

"I'll do my best." Tom assured.

"Now you have to go." Wizard Adolo handed the map to Tom, "Your horse has been prepared for you, just outside." ”

Tom picked up his sword and shield and followed Wizard Adulo out of the palace to a stable. In the stable stood a stallman with a black stallion in his hand. As soon as the stallion saw Wizard Adulo, he hissed in welcome and shook his head. The stallion has a tuft of white fur between his eyes, shaped like an arrow. The brown leather saddle on its body shone brightly.

"The horse's name is Wind," Wizard Adulo told Tom, "and he is young and strong, and fast. ”

Swift broke free of the horse and surrounded Wizard Adulo and Tom, who rubbed its nose against Tom's shoulder and looked at him.

Tom was very happy, "Wind, I think we can be friends." ”

Wizard Adulo helped Tom with his sword and shield so he could climb onto his horse, and then handed him the things.

Tom looked down at the wizard, "What about my village?" What will happen to my aunt and uncle? They are waiting for me to go back and save them. ”

The wizard of Adulo told him, "We have sent a cart full of food and water, and the man in charge of delivering it will tell your uncle that the king has given you a special mission, and when you have completed it, you will return home." ”

Tom patted Tempest on the neck and told the wizard, "Thank you, Wizard Adulo, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, my young friend, all our hopes are in you."

Tom nodded, and gently kicked Blast in the stomach with his heel.

The wind began to trot, and took Tom out of the palace courtyard and onto the busy city street. Along the way, they saw a lot of carts and pedestrians. The windy horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the cobblestones. Tom saw that the open gates of the city were in sight, his face began to burn, and he felt a rush of excitement, and he was soon alone, and he urged the horses: "Hurry, wind! ”

The wind sped through the gate and sped to the grassy grass outside the city, and Tom shouted excitedly. Here we go! The adventure is about to begin! ("The secret mission given to you by the king, you actually took it as an adventure, and you were angry with Young Master Ben" Chenxing)

Not only was the fastest horse Tom had ever ridden, but he seemed to know exactly what Tom wanted him to do. Tom only had to pull the reins a little bit to slow him down, and if Tom kicked him in the stomach with his heel, he would immediately speed up.

By dusk, they had reached the southern end of the prairie, and a vast forest appeared in front of them. The mysterious forest looks eerie and doesn't seem to welcome strangers, but according to the map, if you want to reach the deep mountains where the fire dragon is, this road is the fastest shortcut.

"Come on, Tempest." Tom cautiously carried the wind through the woods, "I think it's the right path. ”

The path was very winding, and as they walked deeper into the forest, the trees seemed to grow thicker and thicker, tightly tangled. The sky was dark, and strangely shaped trees and shrubs seemed to be about to reach out and grab Tom. Tom panicked, and Blast, sensing Tom's anxiety, moved his ears.

They came to a small clearing in the forest, and there seemed to be no road ahead. Tom jumped off his horse, drew his sword out of its scabbard, and cut a path out of the dense bushes.

Tom heard a rustling sound, and he stopped to listen carefully to where it was coming from.

"Who is it?" Tom asked aloud.

There was no response from all around.

Tom kept going, struggling to chop down the dense blackberry bushes. He was terrified, the place didn't feel right, and he was sure that something terrible was watching him, but even so he took the reins of the wind and squeezed through the bushes ahead.

Suddenly, a row of yellow fangs bit into Tom's face.

Tom screamed, startled, and took a step back, clinging to the wind.

It's a wolf! ("I remembered one of my brother's classmates named [Yi Zhilang], haha!) I don't know if I mistyped his name...... I just asked my mom, and I made no mistake. "Chenxing)

The wolf's gray and white fur was tangled together, and his amber eyes were fixed on Tom, looking very fierce. The wolf's massive four legs, like a thick stick attached to a deadly claw, bared its teeth and let out a menacing roar. He's coming at it soon!
