"My story? What is there to tell in my story? ”

Blinking his eyes slightly, Lin Yuan's voice replied with a little surprise: "I'm a newly established ...... I, a person who was just born in the village of Karlo and has never been out of here, where did I have any adventures? ”

“…… At least you've been through a lot of things in the past day. The old man on crutches replied in a low voice, "Your expression has already told me everything, and this time the purchase task entrusted to you is ...... It must be exciting. ”

"No wonder your little shop is always unattended." So the magician sighed faintly: "It is hated to always snoop on other people's privacy like this, old man. ”

"When people get old, they have seen more of the world." The old man who was accused by the other party shook his head indifferently: "It's hard for someone like you to write everything on your face, so it's hard for me not to notice." ”

“……”

"People who are very deep in the city government not only do not show their joy and anger, but even show the emotions they want to show on their faces as needed." Looking at the other party's performance of no longer speaking, the old man's voice also became a little lower: "And you...... The smile on your face when you came back is not something that the rotten can laugh at. ”

"I just met a few interesting people and followed them to the woods to the south." Lowering his head slightly and sinking his eyebrows, Lin Yuan finally shook his head and said what he had just experienced: "My mood during this time is a little relaxed, so I am a little ...... Too obvious. ”

"Is that the guy who told you to go out before?"

"It's a little bit related to him."

Facing the fresh morning air, the man named Lin Yuan Shushui set his eyes on the winding village road not far from the entrance of the village: "He and one of his companions had some trouble in the castle of Thebilisi, and they were almost killed by the other adventurer team, so I secretly helped them a little, and it can be regarded as saving them from the castle of Thebilisi......"

"I don't know him, but I know his fellow thief." As if sensing the inquiring eyes from the other party, he then added: "Even if it...... Let's give back to the few friendships we had before. ”

"Hmph." He was answered with a heavy snort: "Your friendship is important, isn't my goods important?" ”

"I accidentally got countered by the other party, forgive me." Lin Yuan pointed to his injured shoulder at the time: "That archer's strength is average, and his eyesight is very good, but with the situation at that time, presumably not many people can notice these details......"

"As a result, you escaped in the crowd?" The white beard on the old man's mouth rose to the sky again: "What a story that makes people laugh off their big teeth." ”

"I thought this story would end here, but I didn't expect the strange thief to catch up." Ignoring the other party's sneer, the mage continued, "It's the guy you saw yesterday morning who came to me, and he wants me to join some Flame Dragon Beast adventure group......"

"Flame Drake?" The old man's upturned beard turned into a crooked smile: "Such an interesting name...... I've never heard of it. ”

"You're not the only one who's never heard of it." Lin Yuan shook his head and replied, "However, judging from the performance of the group of adventurers who gathered at the head of the village before, this flame dragon beast is quite popular, and the people who participated in the so-called trial in the end have also formed a complete team of five, with the goal of exploring the secrets hidden in the depths of the jungle of Gemenan. ”

“…… The result? ”

"The result...... You can probably guess that, too. ”

Pointing to the outside sky, which was still getting brighter, the corners of the magician's mouth also pulled to the sides of his cheeks: "That jungle has been occupied by a group of unknown people, and it is not easy to break through that area with a group of weak people. ”

"I'm a little curious...... How did you guys get back? The old man's voice rose in the same direction: "Those guys are not enemies that you can handle now. ”

"That's right, that's right, so we're all dead...... They all fled. The young magician shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "With two bastards in the team, no matter what kind of battle plan you have, you can't carry it out." ”

“…… Bastard? What's that? ”

"Hmm...... It's probably just a general term for people who only think about mixing time and never think about how to really get through the difficulties. ”

“…… In other words, you have two weak adventurers on your team? ”

"Whether you are a bastard or not has nothing to do with the strength of your strength."

Shaking his head slightly, the magician named Lin Yuan Shui stiffened his face: "Weak people can also exert strength beyond their own level, and strong people have more room to paddle, just like our adventure this time...... The lazy cat and the crystal bun didn't think about the possibility of this team successfully passing the difficulty. ”

"They are probably the test personnel sent down from the Flame Thunder Beast, but the mission that was originally guided was regarded as exile by them." Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "Originally, the two sides have completely unequal strength, if you haven't had the consciousness of racking your brains to break through...... The end result can be imagined. ”

“…… I've heard those two guys you talk about, and they've been in this place for a long time. The old man nodded slightly: "Listening to you say this, it seems that it does give people such a feeling." ”

"This is the veteran who feels superior to others in his heart." Lin Yuan lowered his head and commented: "I will never realize that I am the biggest cause of failure and drag." ”

"You're right, but ......" The old man who turned his head to look at the other party pulled out a smile again: "According to the concept you just gave......"

"You're the biggest bastard, aren't you?"

“……”

"I know you still have a lot of stories to tell, like the many inexplicable words that often come out of your adventurers' mouths."

Looking at the young magician's face, which was silent again, the old man moved his crutches to the direction of the other party: "It is as if there is a completely different world in your hearts, a different life that only you adventurers have. ”

“…… How do you see that? ”

"Observe, think, draw conclusions."

Smiled and tapped his head with his finger, and the old man's gaze and the magician's gaze gradually converged: "The threads of fate are always divided and combined in your body, and the trajectory of fate is always changing in your creation...... If you have nothing to do with the Wheel of Fortune, I don't believe it as a weaver of fate. ”

“…… Do you know Gustan? ”

"He's an old friend of mine."

Lowering his eyebrows, the old man showed a long sigh: "He has told me many similar inferences, and many of his own experiences are now the best proof. ”

"I can understand it as...... Are you admitting that you are a member of the Destiny Alliance? ”

"I didn't say that, and I don't have any reason to answer you."

Faced with the other party's sudden questioning, the old man shook his head without hesitation and replied, "Unless you can provide something that is enough to exchange for the same price, or ......"

"Prove to me that you are who you used to be."

The silent silence lasted in the air for a moment with the old man's words, and then suddenly disappeared as the old man spoke again: "How? ”

“…… Then I'll tell you another story. ”

Tapping the counter full of various small magic potions in front of him, the magician, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again: "You can think of it as yes, uh...... Another man's story. ”

“…… Go ahead. ”

"That man was born in a village far from here."

There was a stunned expression in his eyes, and the voice of Lin Yuan's water breaking became as low as a cloud: "He has experienced many large and small adventures, solved many seemingly unsolvable problems, defeated many enemies encountered on his journey, and made many good friends. The hardships and dangers of his journey were eventually solved perfectly, and even the dead were brought back to life, and the Speaker of the Duchy and the throne power of the Free City rewarded him with unprecedented prestige and status, making him the pinnacle of adventurers. ”

"In the eyes of all, he can do anything." The magician said quietly, "Even the friends who know him best think so. ”

"Then he ...... in the end"

"He died in the end."

A few words reverberated in the center of the room, and at the same time, Lin Yuan looked back at the old man's eyes: "You know. ”

"Why?"

"He has invisibly set up more and more strong enemies, and at the same time, he has also borne more and more heavy shackles in the thread of fate, and the intertwined fates are complex and disordered, and finally broke through his control at a certain point in time."

In the small village scene where the surrounding voices gradually became lively, the magician's eyes gradually became deeper: "Misfortune gradually began to affect his companions around him, the people he cared for and cared for, and the pressure from the whole world began to suffocate him, gradually pulling him into the quagmire from which he could not break free. ”

"Isn't he omnipotent?" Hearing this, the old man suddenly said loudly: "Why can't he solve this? ”

“…… Who knows. The magician, who was supposed to answer, closed his eyes: "Maybe he's tired." ”

"The Mage Council has forgiven him in the end, why didn't he ask the Mage Council for help?"

"The Mage Council may be able to solve the problems of this world for him, but it can't solve all the problems for him."

“…… Who killed him? Is it Antanaros? Or the black witch who betrayed everyone? ”

"It's himself."

The increasingly rapid dialogue came to a halt with the last few words, along with the magician's staring gaze at the other man: "He voluntarily put his life to an end, like a waterfall before approaching the abyss, and only by making a break can more tragic fates be prevented." ”

“…… I still can't understand it. The old man who looked back at the other party slowly spoke again: "Unless...... Can you explain to me what kind of hardship he encountered that he couldn't resist. ”

"That's a long story." Lin Yuan raised his head when he broke the water: "This almost involves his previous life, it is a much older story......"

"It's a much greater life."

The noisy shouting and the shouting of the crowd then crossed the air between the two people, and flew into the distance with the sight of several players shouting and running wildly on the country road ahead, and the increasingly lively village of Carlo then officially ushered in the dawn of January 2, 796 New Calendar, and greeted the new day with the fiery vitality exuded by countless novice players who joined the game. A crisp knock on the door then appeared next to the door of the magic hut, along with the look of a novice adventurer standing in front of the counter, his gaze on the wooden shelf decorated as a counter for a long time, and finally looked at the magician who had just turned around in front of him with a rather cautious eye: "The ...... Excuse me, how much is this healing potion? ”

"A gold coin."

"One, a gold coin? Where can we get so much money now...... Can it be cheaper? ”

"This thing is a high-end product in the novice village, brother, where can you find the potion that instantly heals thirty percent of your blood? One gold coin is already the price that takes the most care of you people, after all, many of the raw materials for making this bottle of potion are collected by ourselves, and the cost has not been taken into account......"

The sound of the opening of the magic hut and the gradual bargaining echoed around the corner of the village chief's entrance, and then became busier among the adventurers who kept coming and going inside and outside the hut, which also made the headless conversation between the old man and the young magician slowly fade into the tacit understanding between each other. As a player, the originally idle figure of Lin Yuan Shushui, who was supporting this façade alone, also became a lot more busy with the gradual boom of business, but the smile on his face did not change with the flow of sweat, but it didn't take long for this smile to freeze suddenly with the appearance of a certain figure: "Ten bottles of healing potion." ”

“……”

“…… What, out of stock? ”

Looking at the magician in front of him who was suddenly stunned in place, looking at his figure, Xue Lingphantom Ice subconsciously pulled the cloak that covered his long white hair: "If you don't have it, change it to five bottles of healing potions and five bottles of small healing potions, as well as bandages for bandaging wounds." ”

Crash.

The golden coins were scattered on the left and right of the counter along with the pouch she threw in front of the other party, attracting the eyes of several players and customers passing by, and the impatience on her face became more obvious, and then the woman frowned slightly, and whispered a reminder to the magician in front of her in an urging tone.

"Hurry up."
