Chapter 21 Mending the Knife

"Ahem."

Mu Yan coughed lightly a few times, reminding the other party to pay attention to his image.

Only then did Lorov realize that he was too involved in thinking about life, and unconsciously stared at the little dragon who saved him for a long time.

The latter was still "Dah" with a milky voice.

"What kind of breed is that...... Uh, pets? He couldn't help but ask.

Mu Yan tapped his forehead with his fingers, "Hmm...... It's hard to describe, and I've found it on a small island overseas, and I've never seen it before. ”

It was indeed he who flew to the depths of the Endless Sea to find me, and that is not a lie. Our scholar thought to himself.

"That's right......" Lorov saw that the other party was vague, and did not delve into it, but instead pondered how to persuade the other party to let him go. And he was curious as to why the other party knew his name.

Mu Yan was also thinking about how to ask the other party's origin, after all, this is the white-robed mage Lorov, one of the most charismatic NPCs, how can he not be scared and brush up his favorability?

He suddenly remembered that when he left Nighttown, the old scholar Mawson had given him a teleportation gem as a reward that could be used to contact this guy. Although the stone was destroyed a long time ago, it was more or less a joke.

"I've heard the Mawson scholars talk about you. He said that a very bizarre story has happened to you, that you have terrifying powers, and that you are the one who is favored by Mia. Mu Yan smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

It turned out to be Mr. Mawson...... It dawned on Lorov. After becoming a mage, he went to Nightlight to meet the Mawson Scholar once, thanking him for his education in the early years, which was the only connection he had to the "world of knowledge".

"It's just a matter of luck, maybe it's because of the devotion to Mia. But the 'terrifying power' is a bit far-fetched, otherwise I wouldn't have been chased by the beast," Lorov also smiled and praised without a trace, "but it is your power that makes me feel awe." ”

"Hehehe......"

Mu Yan really couldn't stand it with this nonsense, so he couldn't get to the point at all if he talked like this, so he simply took a dose of fierce medicine.

"Actually, I was originally an ordinary person, and I also had a strange experience of becoming a mage." He pretended to be mysterious and said: "So when I heard the Mawson scholar mention Your Excellency, I have been looking for an opportunity to communicate with you, maybe we are 'the same kind of people'." ”

Lorov was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Mu Yan twice.

No wonder he put down his identity and talked to the Mawson scholar, who was a civilian like me before? Lorov sighed inwardly as he thought of the mages in Jialan City who were unwilling to say a word to the civilians.

But this does not mean that he will fully believe Mu Yan's words, as for what "type of person" is, in his opinion, it is no different from clichΓ©s. He has seen a lot of similar things, things that can turn ordinary people into mages, even the six-member council of Jialan wants to get it, and the one in front of him is probably a little late when the caster's talent was discovered.

However, Mu Yan's next words surprised him beyond measure.

"Although I am an Oriental, I have always lived in Turing, and I like places near the sea, and the salty smell of the sea breeze is refreshing." Mu Yan was very intoxicated, like a child without scheming, and with his immature face, it looked very inflammatory.

"Like you, at first I was just an ordinary person, but then a tsunami changed my fate."

Mu Yan told the fate of Teacher Zha in the first person, saying that he was swept away by the tsunami, and after waking up, he accidentally suffocated a silver whale stuck in the reef, got the golden apple, and became a mage.

After listening to this story, Lorov was stunned for a long time and did not react.

"Mr. Lorov?" Mu Yan waved his hand in front of him, and the latter came to his senses.

The wariness in his eyes was more than half gone.

"Mr. Mu Yan," he said, considering his words, "I have some sincere thoughts that I hope you will consider carefully. ”

"Huh?"

"Don't tell anyone this story in the future." He said solemnly: "Everything you said just now was blown away by the howling mountain wind, and I didn't hear a word, do you understand?" ”

Mu Yan was slightly stunned, feeling a little warm in his heart, but he still pretended to be ignorant of the world.

"Why can't you talk about it?"

"It's going to cause people to covet it." Lorov was determined to seriously educate this "fellow believer", and at the moment he had forgotten that the other party was much stronger than him.

"There is no shortage of people in this world who have been blinded by greed, and once they know about it, you will be dangerous. In order to be able to become mages, they will even do crazy things. Lorov said, remembering the deception he had experienced, the down-and-out aristocrat who dreamed of becoming a mage to change the fate of his family, and wanted to eat his flesh to become a mage.

Mu Yan nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Does anyone else know about this story but me?" Lorov continued to ask.

Mu Yan shook his head. "None of them will believe it, so this is the first time I've said it."

"That's fine." Delov breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Aren't you from the East, why do you live in Turing?" I hear your accent resemble something like the fish sellers. ”

The "fish seller" he refers to is a fishmonger from the coastal region of Turing, who travels between Jialan City and the seaside, transporting seafood in a magical carriage enchanted by a thermostatic barrier, so that the fish is still fresh even if it was caught months ago. Because of the high cost, they traded directly with the people of Kane's Horn, and the rest were sold at a high price, and even sold for 500 gold coins on the black market.

"I was sold into slavery to a fisherman's house." Mu Yan casually made up a setting for himself, "Later, it was bought by someone from the Jones Chamber of Commerce." ”

Hearing this, Lorov's sympathy suddenly overflowed, and he thought that he was wandering around with his hidden identity, and even if he had received a mysterious inheritance, he would always live in poverty. And the other party is inferior to him, he has been a slave since he was a child, no wonder he is so simple-minded now......

After substituting the identity of "elder", Lorov looked at Mu Yan with a little more care.

"That'...... Did you escape and wander here? He asked.

"No, I'm employed by the Jones Chamber of Commerce."

"Employed?" Lorov was startled, and suddenly had a bad premonition. "Yes...... Is there a commission for the kind? ”

Mu Yan decided to make a joke and shook his head shyly.

Really! They're squeezing a mage! Lorov's sense of justice surged up at once.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, they built me a mage tower, saying that I would use it later. ”

Lorov: "......"

His sense of justice suddenly retreated halfway, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his heart turned upside down.

Did I hear you right, Mage Tower?

That's a mage tower!! I can't even afford a brick with all my wealth combined!

He looks a few years younger than me, and he has already built the Mage Tower!!

We're different!

"By the way," Mu Yan asked casually, "I came here to investigate the explosion incident half a year ago, why did Mr. Lorov come to such a dangerous place?" It looks like the battle just now...... It makes you very struggling. ”

Lorov felt that he had been stabbed in the heart again, and immediately he was bleeding.

"I ......"

Mu Yan's sincere gaze made him a little embarrassed.

He suddenly remembered the strange rotten blood beast, so he changed the subject and said, "That's right, I found a strange demonic beast, right around here. ”
