35 Invitations to Adventure Travel
Soon, the door opened.
Leo walked out with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you hired? Eletaxia asked with concern.
"Uh-huh......" Leo said literally through his nostrils, and he glanced at Eletahia a little embarrassed, "Somehow, the employer knows that you're a priest with me, and he seems to be in need of a treatment, so he wants you to go in and give it a try." Do you think it's okay? ”
"Huh?" Eletaxia was a little surprised, "Me? ”
Leo nodded, clutching his waist in a whisper. "If you don't want to, I'll go in and reject him."
Eletaxia hurriedly grabbed Leo, who was about to turn around. "Don't you really want this job? I'll go in with you, it's fine. If I wasn't good enough, he wouldn't ask for an oil bottle, right?"
Leo thought about it and grinned innocently. "Let's go in together. Don't worry, with me, I won't let you have any problems. ”
The testing chamber of the Mercenary Guild is very shabby. In the center of the empty room were several stands, one of which had a crystal ball fastened at the top. The other stands are mounted with dummies one by one.
Elletahia glanced around the room and saw that there was no one else. "What about employers? Why not there? She asked Leo softly.
Leo pointed to the corner of the room, and Elletaxia followed his hand to find only a small semicircular crystal.
"What's that?"
"The Eye of Observation. This is how employers check on the testers and negotiate with them - they are usually in the VIP room on the second floor. This is to keep the identity of the employer confidential until the formal employment relationship is established, and most of the customers who can book the use of the test room are the main customers. ”
Eletahya nodded in understanding. "So what should I do now?"
"You're a priest, just put your hand on that crystal ball and sink your consciousness into it. It's an easy test of professionalism, so don't worry. ”
Elletahya walked to the middle of the room, placed her hand on the crystal ball of the stand, closed her eyes, and focused on the part where the crystal touched her hand.
The crystal ball began to glow.
Pictures suddenly crashed into her mind.
It seems to be a bright afternoon, and the trees are lush and full of life. Under a poplar tree, a little girl of five or six years old was curling up and crying.
A hand gently stroked the hair on the top of the little girl's head with a sigh. The little girl looked up at the owner of the hand, who was her infancy.
"I eavesdropped on my father's conversation...... I can't learn the Light, why? Why? ”
Elletahya was shocked to hear something like this, what was going on, why she didn't remember such a thing. However, something even more surprising was yet to come.
"You don't belong to the Holy Light......," the voice was ethereal, with a pain that the little girl would never have noticed. However, there is no way to ......"
Eletahia really wanted to see who was talking to her, but she found that she couldn't move at all, and could only look at the man's back stupidly.
"Nope! I can't let my father down! I must! I had to be a pastor. The little girl looked up at the man and prayed coquettishly.
"Father?" The other party's heavy words weighed down the heart of Airetasia, "Thea...... Didn't you find out? Your talent is in ...... , you can become a great mage. ”
"No, I don't, I'm just going to be a priest!" The little girl cried willfully. "How can a father's daughter become a mage!"
The other party was silent for a moment, then handed her a white bottle of smoky potion.
"Drink," he said in a soft, drowning voice, "it will disguise the source of your power and make you wish." It's just that if you drink this, your other talents will disappear, and you won't regret it? ”
The little girl snatched it up. "No regrets!"
The other party watched quietly as she poured the bottle of medicine in embarrassment. The little girl quickly fell to the ground, her body slowly surrounded by white smoke.
A gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, bringing the man's low voice to himself.
"I just want you to be happy...... Shia...... Even if you've forgotten everything......"
Who is it? Who is it?
Eletaxia's eyebrows tightened, and the light from the crystal ball under her hand grew brighter and brighter, filling the room.
The white light pierced Leo's eyes.
Suddenly, "Click! With a bang, those images shattered with the crystal ball.
Eletaxia opened her eyes in a daze, looked stupidly at the crystal ball that shattered into a few pieces and fell to the ground, and looked at Leo helplessly, "What's wrong with me?" I seem to have broken something, what should I do? ”
Behind them came the sound of the door opening.
Elletahya bowed her head in a thief's heart, wringing her fingers uneasily.
It was a girl of a race that Thea had never seen before.
Her skin was green, half a head taller than Thea, her hair was tied high into a single ponytail, and her two canine teeth protruded sharply from her lips, adding a few words of ferocity to her former appearance. She was wearing a small two-section leather coat that was so angry that she was tightly wrapped around her plump figure, and it was hard to worry that her clothes would be torn apart at any time. She glanced sharply at the shattered crystal ball on the ground, stepped on it with her leather boots, walked up to them, and said coldly to Leo. "Leo? I'm Carrie Luo. Your employer asks you to come over. ”
"This ......," Elletahia pointed cautiously to the ground, "I didn't mean to, I'll make amends." ”
The orc girl turned around cleanly as if she hadn't heard her. "What's my business, hurry up and keep up. Don't keep your employer waiting, it's the boss who gives the money! ”
Leo motioned for Elletaxia to leave the trivial matters alone, and quickly followed Luo Jiali's footsteps and went to the VIP room on the second floor.
Walking into the VIP room, I saw a large square table, behind which a person had his back to them, standing with his hands crossed, staring at the portrait of the queen hanging on the wall.
For some reason, Elletahia felt something familiar to the figure.
While she was still remembering, the man had already turned. A silver mask covered his face.
"Ah, it's you!" Even with the mask still on, Elletahia remembered who he was. "Nathanos!"
North smiled, casually took off his mask, and threw it on the table. "Well, beautiful Miss Thea, it's really fate."
He walked slowly up to the astonished Elletaxia, reached out and flipped her hood down, and looked at her condescendingly, his gaze as gentle as ever. "Your pastoral talent is truly remarkable, may I invite you on my trip to the Plaguelands?"
