Chapter 18: Visions and Statues

On the third day of leaving the Ksuiter Mountains, the weather was clear for the first time in a long time.

The carriages were parked in the woodland where the snow had not yet melted, and the horses that pulled the carriage were unloaded from the front of the carriage by Anthony, untied from them, and left to rest on the dead grass on the side, all of which were specially trained so that there was no need to worry about them sneaking away.

"This horse, like us, has to rest, and our carriage and the three boxes of things on it are of an unusual weight, and they have suffered a lot. ”

Anthony patted the horse he was riding on the ass and told it to join in the fun, while he and Donald found a large rock in the woods nearby, cleaned it up with a spell, and sat down to chat.

One sat on the hardwood board outside the carriage for a long time, and the other sat on the saddle for a long time, and his ass was uncomfortable.

"Hey, I didn't find out, you're still a caring animal, caring, and a good person. ”

Donald, sitting in the sun, was in a good mood, squinting his eyes to feel the warmth of the sun, and his eyes stayed on Finger, who was enjoying himself in the woodland next to him.

"Donald, I'll go to the next stream and wash the turnips and potatoes and I'll be back soon. ”

Stephanie was holding a small boiler in her hand, with three radishes and a few round potatoes in it, and these days they were either roasting meat or jerky, and several people's stomachs were a little tired, so Donald told her on the road just now that she was going to eat lighter today.

"I'm going to help. ”

Julia, who was draped in her face and shoulders, held a bamboo basket containing dinner dishes in her hand, and raised her little hand and said.

"Okay, I'll ask Lilo to follow you to prevent accidents. ”

Donald nodded, and spoke to Lilo beside him, who stepped out of the carriage with his sword in hand, still holding a portion of lime juice.

"Donald ......"

Watching the three of them leave, Anthony seemed to have something to say and stopped.

"Hmm, let's not have so many twists and turns, just say something directly. ”

Donald answered, but he didn't hear Anthony's words, and knew that he must be thinking about it again, so he couldn't help but urge.

"I have a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time, what is your goal now?"

Turning around, Anthony saw Donald with his back to him, his head half-tilted, his cheeks facing the sun.

The two had known each other for a while, and Anthony had never heard Donald talk about his plans for the future, and much of the latter's actions so far seemed to Anthony to have a strange sense of urgency, as if something was chasing after him, forcing him forward, rather than his intention.

"Send Julia to the Temple of Justice and defuse the ticking time bomb on her. ”

"That's a short-term goal, and it's a task that someone else has imposed on you, and what I want to know is what you want to accomplish, or ..... What are your dreams, what do you want to do after sending Julia to the Temple of Justice?"

A man with no dreams, no expectations for the future, no difference from the walking dead, and Anthony doesn't want Donald to become such an existence.

"I ..... I do not know. ”

In answering this question, for the first time, there was a confused emotion on the face of the most of the time, which was very shrewd and thoughtful, and this was the first time that Donald showed this kind of expression in front of Anthony, and after a moment of silence, a reluctant smile appeared on his face, and then continued,

"Haha~ You may not believe it, but in fact, I haven't found out what my dream is...... Speaking of which, you were the first person to ask me that question. ”

Donald said it easily, but Anthony next to him frowned involuntarily.

This is not a topic that can be erased with a joke and a light stroke.

"Donald, you can't be dictated by what others impose on you, you have to have your own pursuits, even if it's just some kind of beautiful vision extended from a hobby, or because of something else that makes you suddenly have expectations for the future, it's very important, because that's what a person's life is about, if you don't even have expectations for the future, is living just to eat and sleep every day?"

Anthony clearly knows that Donald is a very subjective person, such a person is focused on doing things, and can not be chaotic in times of danger, but there is also a flaw, that is, they will subconsciously ignore some of their own things while devoting a lot of their energy to thinking about external affairs.

As a friend, he had an obligation to remind Donald of this.

"You have a point, maybe I'm going to have to find what I want to do......"

Since coming to this world, Donald seems to have been plagued by all kinds of troubles, there are Silvermoon Sects and demon dependents in Pston, and when he arrives in Dmingham, he is worried that he will be approached by the other two inheritors of Mineato's ability, and now that he has left Dmingham, he has to send people to the Temple of Justice.

It was as if a hand was pushing him forward.

Becoming stronger, uncontrolled by Donald became the only goal on his mind, and everything has served it so far.

It's not entirely bad, and without that belief, Donald wouldn't have gotten this far, but that shouldn't be all that Donald is.

Donald himself didn't notice it before, but Anthony, a friend who was older than him, felt it and reminded him in time.

"It's easier said than done. ”

Suddenly he had to have a plan for the future, Donald didn't know where to start for a while, scratching the back of his head with some annoyance, seemingly complaining, but his face was a little more relaxed.

"Hahaha~ Don't worry, as long as you realize this, it's enough, take your time for the rest, the biggest wish in my life, you have already helped me complete it, remember what I told you in Tate Manor before, next, it's my turn to help you fulfill your wish." ”

Anthony retracted his gaze, he could already feel his thoughts on the future from Donald, and this was a very good start.

"Donald, we're back, hurry up the campfire, we've found something strange in the river, you'll have to take a good look at it later. ”

Stephanie came back just then, trotting with the boiler in her hand, and between the turnips and potatoes seemed to have something she hadn't left before.

Anthony got up from the stone, took out the double knife at his waist, found a random tree and quickly cut a dozen pieces of firewood, and then Donald controlled it with his mental power to build a tower shape next to it, and the flames ignited.

The group gathered around the campfire, and the next thing was for Anthony, the chef, to be responsible.

"Brother Donald, look at this wood carving, I picked it up by the river. ”

Julia took a wooden statue from Stephanie and gave it to Donald.

The wood carving depicts a man draped in a robe, with shawl hair, without a chest, and a small whisker carved out of his chin, which is supposed to be a man.

"What's the matter? This wood carving is very ordinary, I only need half a minute to carve a more delicate one with my mental power. ”

Donald took the wood carving and looked at Julia a little strangely, this wood carving could be seen by even a layman as a layman, it was actually very crude, but he didn't expect Stephanie and Julia to take it back like a baby.

"It's not a question of refinement or not, watch me do a magic trick for you. ”

Julia learned from the one she had met on the train to do magic with a dilution of blood drops, turning her back and forth with her hands crossed and swinging, then picking up her own kettle next to her, holding the mouth of the bottle against the top of the carved head, and slowly lifting the jug.

The water flowed down from the top of the statue's head, but the wood carving underwent a strange change at this time, and behind its neck, a hazy colored light suddenly appeared.

Donald realized that this wood carving was not simple, and took it back from Julia's hand to observe it carefully, and wrapped his spiritual power around it, looking for its peculiarities.

"How could it be ......"

After a long time, Donald muttered to himself with a look of surprise on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Stephanie asked.

"My psychic perception didn't find anything special about it, it was an ordinary wood carving. ”

Eyes stay on the gradually becoming hazy colored light, how can this wood carving be ordinary?

"Found it! Found the idol!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise nearby.

Donald, who was confused, turned his head to look over and saw several people in thick clothes running towards him.

Idol...... Just this rough wooden statue?
