524 Angus
"That's it!"
Gregory grinned and walked towards everyone, the red light and shadow of the flame certificate slowly retracting in his hand seemed to be an illusion, and Hall seemed to see a distorted soul, which was being pulled into the long sword by those converging red light and shadow.
"Gray! When did your swordsmanship become so good? ”
Corey pulled Gregory's arm in surprise, but Gregory was slightly stunned: "Swordsmanship? What swordsmanship? ”
"I knew ......"
Hall sighed, it wasn't swordsmanship at all, it was just the kid's physical instinct, and sure enough, for a guy like Gregory who had an explosion of luck, if God closed a door for him, the power of the door would definitely collapse a wall.
Fools are blessed with fools.
Hall could only persuade himself like this, otherwise he would have died of jealousy.
However, Gregory still looked very aggressive, and didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with his previous fighting style, but he was complacent there because he killed the wolves alone, so angry that Corey secretly kicked him in the calf.
However, Hall can understand Gregory's mentality, after all, three months ago, Gregory was just a mercenary at the bottom who had just stepped into the threshold of a professional, and if you push it back two months, Gregory would even be just an ordinary guy in the militia group.
He was promoted too quickly.
It had been smooth sailing before, and when he was sure to win every battle, Hall hadn't noticed anything, but now that he had slowed down a little, and when he had time to look back, he suddenly realized that not only Gregory, but also the people who followed Gregory, the speed of promotion was too abnormal.
Three months ago, when Hall accepted Gregory's father's entrustment to take care of Gregory, he had been stuck in the realm of the peak of the Nine Rings for more than a year, and at that time he still felt that at the end of his life, he was an eight-ring shooter, and if he was lucky, he might be able to become a seven-ring master, but it has only been three months, and he has completed the original "ultimate ideal of life".
There is also Corey, who is also a descendant of Hall, whose family background is much better than Gregory, but because of a promise, he gave up the path of becoming a pharmacist to inherit the family business, and instead secretly learned from the mercenaries in the city and became a trainee spellcaster, and for the next three years, Corey failed to pass the assessment and became an official spellcaster.
But it was also in these three months, when Corey followed Gregory on the road of adventure, his strength soared uncontrollably, and he could still use Corey as a "combat genius" to convince himself, but now it seems that even the most demonic genius cannot be promoted from a trainee spellcaster to a seven-ring spellcaster in three months!
"Children of the Plane?"
Hall had heard the word from Sawyer's mouth, and now that he thought about it, it was the perfect word to describe Gregory.
"What son?"
Gregory glanced back at Hall, who shook his head awkwardly and said with a random reason, "I was thinking that it would be nice if my son was as good as you." ”
"Aha, definitely!" As soon as he heard the compliment, Gregory couldn't help laughing, "When your son grows up, I will teach him swordsmanship myself!" Then Uncle Hall, you teach him archery yourself and make him a powerful ranger like Sawyer! ”
"What about me?"
Corey kicked Gregory again, and Gregory hurriedly laughed, "Of course you're going to teach Hall's son spells, and most importantly, your potions!" As long as you learn the secret recipe of dispensing medicine, you will not be afraid to go all over the world! ”
"That's pretty much it."
Corey's face turned cloudy, and Gregory was also relieved, but suddenly glanced at Hall again, and said suspiciously: "By the way, Uncle Hall, talk about your son...... When did you get married? ”
"Uh, this ......"
Hall was a little embarrassed, he just made an excuse! Why are you talking so seriously!
In the end, Huo Erqiang smiled: "I didn't mention it casually, I just thought it was planning for the future!" ”
"Oh, too! After all, Uncle Hall, you should get married, too! ”
Gregory nodded, but Corey stared at Hall again, with gossip flashing in his eyes: "Could it be that Uncle Hall already has a sweetheart?" ”
"Well...... It's all about planning, planning! ”
Hale barely kept a smile, you imps! Don't take it so seriously!
"Na, Uncle Hall is really still single......" Gregory nodded, as if this was normal, he patted Hall on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, Uncle Hall, believe me, a good person like you will definitely find a girlfriend!" ”
"I thank you."
The smile on Hall's face was like crying, and seeing that Corey next to him seemed to want to say something, he hurriedly interrupted: "That, I suddenly remembered that there are still many people who haven't been found, so I won't waste time here!" ”
After saying that, he didn't say goodbye to Gregory and the others, turned around and walked in the direction of the stronghold, and by the way, he also took away two mercenaries who had been gritting their teeth and shaking their shoulders wildly.
"Uncle Hall is so strange today."
Gregory scratched his head, but he didn't think much about it, looking at the corpse of the bone wolf that gradually turned into black mist, and also left here with Corey, but the direction of departure was towards the depths of the gray mist.
"Do you want to keep fighting?"
Corey was a little worried, although Gregory had just ended the battle neatly, but the process of the battle was extremely dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would be seriously injured by the bone wolf, if he fought again......
As if he had made up his mind, Corey broke away from Gregory's hand and walked two quick steps in front of him: "Gray, let me help you this time, okay?" ”
Gregory seemed to be frightened and stunned, but laughed: "I brought you here, of course I want to fight with you!" Have you forgotten our previous agreement? ”
"Of course I do!"
Corey's voice suddenly subsided a little, but Gregory didn't care, and still smiled: "That's it, let's go, if you wait here, those monsters won't be delivered to the door by themselves......"
"Wow!"
A sudden cry interrupted Gregory's voice, and Gregory hurriedly looked up, only to see an upright figure slowly emerging from the gray mist.
"Ember Samurai?" Gregory hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Corey.
"No, it's Angus!"
Corey screamed and kept pulling the corners of Gregory's clothes, but Gregory was a little confused: "Angus? What is Angus? ”
Muttering the name a few times, Gregory suddenly remembered something: "That legendary god of love and youth, Angus?" ”
"No, it's the mythical species, Angus the Seducer!"
Corey was going crazy, and if he hadn't been too scared, he would have kicked Gregory in anger.
"Generally speaking, I prefer to call myself the god of immortality, and as for the seducer you mentioned, it must be your misunderstanding of me."
A magnetic voice rang in the ears of Gregory and Corey, mixed with a few birdsongs, and Gregory saw that above Angus's head, four other strange birds were circling around him.
"Don't come here!"
Gregory clenched the flame certificate with both hands, and the black long sword once again transformed into a fiery red sword body, but when Angus walked out of the gray mist and entered the fire protection circle, Gregory couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It's so handsome.
Gregory felt his heart beat a little faster, as if all the good things in the world were gathered on that face, and just by looking at it, he could feel the warmth from the bottom of his heart.
On Angus's face, Gregory seemed to see his mother, and in the blink of an eye, he felt a little similar to the big sister next door, and it seemed that there were some similarities with Corey.
Even though Gregory kept telling himself in his heart that Angus was their enemy, he couldn't take his eyes off his face, and he even felt that as long as he could look at it for a while, even if he died now, it would be worth it!
"Gray ......"
Just when Gregory was about to fall, he vaguely heard Corey's voice in his ears, and he suddenly woke up, and when he looked at it again, there was still something beautiful in that face, just an ordinary man's face, and even a scar that spread from the left forehead to the right cheek, making the face look vicious and ugly.
"Gray ......"
Corey whispered again, Gregory let go of the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and reached behind to comfort Corey, but he felt empty, and the corner of his eye swept away, but he saw that Corey had walked to his side at some point, and was looking at Angus with an obsessive face!
"Corey!"
Gregory shouted under his breath, but Corey continued to walk slowly towards Angus as if he hadn't heard.
Gregory hurriedly reached for Cory, but the moment he touched Corey, Cory suddenly cast a knockback spell that pushed the unsuspecting Gregory to the ground.
"What did you do to Corey!"
Gregory sat on the ground, but the sword in his hand was still pointing at Angus, not far away, Angus shrugged helplessly: "I don't mean anything, it's just that your companion's will is too weak." ”
As he spoke, the scars on Angus's face also moved, and when his expression was slightly exaggerated, even his nose was broken into two knots along the scars, as if his entire face had been cut in half diagonally with a knife, disgusting and hideous, which suddenly reduced the credibility of his speech by more than half.
Seeing the expression on Gregory's face, Angus naturally guessed what he was thinking, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly again: "That's why I let you see some beautiful things, otherwise with my face, you won't believe anything I say." ”
"If you want me to believe you, wake up Corey!"
Gregory roared, but Angus shook his head, his whole face was mistaken in half, and the bottom half of his nose was even mistaken under his left eye, which immediately frightened Gregory.
"I'm really sorry to scare you." Angus pressed his head with both hands, as if trying to put the two halves of his face back in place, "But for your companion, it's better to let him break free from the illusion himself." ”
"What do you mean?"
"This is a test of the mind involving rules, it is a means that I fixed on me more than three hundred years ago, for those who are determined to break free, it is only a test, if you can successfully break free, you will also have a baptism of the soul, it is a rare benefit, but it is very dangerous for the weak-willed, it is easy to lose the mind in the process, as your companion is now, this is a manifestation of the lost mind, if I forcibly awaken your partner, His mind is likely to be lost in the illusion forever, waking up only with his body. ”
Angus explained Idatong as he spoke, smearing something on the scars on his face, as if trying to glue the two halves of his face together.
"What do you mean?"
Gregory asked again, looking at the confused look on Gregory's face, Angus sighed, the scar cracked again, he had to hold the scar with his hand, and explained to Gregory again: "To put it simply, if I take action to bring your companion back to consciousness, he will probably become a fool, and he will never recover." ”
"This ......"
Gregory froze, he had already believed that Angus had no malicious intent, and naturally believed Angus's statement, and the thought that Corey might be stupid for the rest of his life made Gregory feel his heart twisted into a ball.
"Perhaps, you can try calling your companions? This simple help is still okay and useful. ”
Angus said lightly, keeping a straight face, trying not to make any expressions, for fear that the scars on his face would crack.
So, Gregory walked to Corey's side and whispered Corey's name, at the beginning, Gregory was still holding the proof of fire in his hand, while calling while guarding against Angus not far away, but with the call, Gregory's emotions gradually mobilized, and his mind was immersed in the call to Corey little by little, and finally, even the evidence of the flame turned into a flame into his body.
Eventually, Gregory's call worked, and Cory, who had fallen into the illusion, slowed down, and his gaze on Angus became struggling, and eventually, his gaze left Angus's face and turned to Gregory, who had been calling him......
Rumble!
At the moment when Corey turned his head to look at Gregory, a red flame suddenly flew out of Corey's heart and shot into Gregory's eyebrows.
Before he fell unconscious, Gregory seemed to hear Corey's screams, Angus's sighs, and the sound of four mixed birdsongs......
