Chapter 2: The Gap Between Reality and Imagination

What people worship is sometimes what they fear. The people of Acacia www.biquge.info are like this, they worship the Void, but when there are really Void visitors, they feel irrepressibly afraid in their hearts. Most people would choose to avoid the unexpected person of Aix, so in the days since his arrival, he has hardly come into contact with anyone, and he is alone in Alice's small courtyard in a daze.

Alice has been locking herself in her room for the past few days, trying to recover her magic, but unfortunately, every attempt has failed.

After I don't know how many days of failure, Alice finally walked out of the room, it was already sunset, the sun was not dazzling, but made Alice, who had been tired for a few days, look a little rosy.

Ax didn't turn his head to look at Alice as she walked out of the room, but kept staring at a teenager standing by the fence door. The boy had been here for a while, but he didn't mean to walk in, he just stood there, looking at the stone house, and didn't pay attention to Ax on the side.

After a few embarrassing encounters with a cold ass, Ax no longer bothered with the weirdo, but in order to prevent the other party from having any bad intentions, he kept staring at the other party.

"You're here." Alice didn't look surprised at all when she saw the boy, as if she knew that the other party would come.

"How are you?" The boy didn't show much concern, as if it was just a simple greeting from two acquaintances who met suddenly.

"There's not much progress yet, I'll try a few more times, if it doesn't work......" Alice didn't continue, but the boy clearly understood what the other meant.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"No, it's my own business." It can be seen that Alice's words are not kind words.

"Alright! Good luck. The young man didn't continue to insist, and left the courtyard directly after speaking.

"Who's that guy?" Seeing that Alice seemed to want to go back to the house, Ax immediately asked.

"Mercedes, Acacia's gifted teenager, is also my fiancé." After a brief introduction, the girl turned around and returned to the house without any nostalgia.

"Fiancé?" This was the only news that Aix paid attention to, and he didn't expect his rival to appear like this.

Just as Ax was thinking about how to get rid of the threat, another figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, but this time it was obviously not as polite as the last one, and when he came in, he shouted into the house, "Alice, you come out for me." ”

It's a pity that there is no movement in the house, looking at this obviously unkind little beauty, Aix looked in the direction of the house, and after seeing that there was no reaction, Aix, who felt that he was half the owner of the place, walked up and asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

For a person who is not polite, Aix's tone is of course not polite, obviously with a hint of gunpowder.

"You're the Void Visitor?" When the girl saw Aix, thinking of the rumors she had heard before, she was obviously a little jealous, and her body unconsciously took a few steps back, widening the distance between her and him.

"You don't think you have answered my question, didn't your parents teach you these basic etiquette?"

"You don't have to worry about my business." After the girl finished speaking, she no longer bothered with Aix, because she heard that this void visitor didn't seem to have any strength, let alone cannibalism like Kogas, so she had the courage to come here, although there was still some fear, but after seeing it, there was not much fear, although she didn't dare to provoke, but there was still no psychological barrier to stand aside, and after seeing that he didn't do much of herself, she shouted to the room: "Alice, you don't have any magic anymore, you are no longer worthy of Brother Mercedes, If you still have a little self-knowledge, you can take the initiative to break the marriage yourself. ”

After the girl finished speaking, it seemed that she had achieved her main purpose, and after glaring at Ax viciously, she ran out directly, although this void monster is a little bit unlike a monster, but it is better not to stay together.

After hearing the girl's words, Aix's attitude had actually changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he even regarded it as his own, because it was obviously an ignorant little girl named Mercedes who had a crush on him, and the two of them could be said to be standing in the same trench, both in order to break that evil marriage contract.

Ever since the Mercedes and the little girl had visited, the little courtyard had been quiet again, and perhaps because of its remoteness, no one had come here at all, and no one had even passed by. However, Ax and Alice still had to eat, and some groceries had to be bought outside, so Ax had to get out of the small courtyard that he hadn't been out of since he woke up.

In the first few times, he noticed that the people here were obviously a little afraid of him, and when he walked out into the street, everyone avoided him, and even when he bought things, the shopkeeper tried to keep a distance as much as possible. Gradually, however, people discovered that this Void visitor was not as terrible as the legend suggests, and even the weak and pitiful. Therefore, the people were no longer afraid of him, and even some of the children threw small stones at him, and Aix had nothing to do, because he sadly found that he could not catch up with the children, so gradually it became him to avoid the others.

During this period, Ax also found some magic books from Alice, but unfortunately it was not as easy to practice as he imagined, the study of these magic reminded him of his school experience in his own world, the strength here is the results at that time, all need talent and hard work, just like if you don't study hard and you can't get good grades, the study of magic can't be achieved overnight, maybe it feels fresh at first, but after a long time, it's the same as doing those test papers, which makes people irritating.

During this time, Alice has been experimenting, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be going well, and every time Ax sees her, he has a frown on his face, so that Ax has to give up his plan to ask her a few questions.

With the passage of time, people's attitudes towards them have gradually changed, when a magical genius girl used to shine, everyone would feel that you were superior, female jealousy, male sycophancy, but, when the halo of that genius disappeared, those who felt inferior to you before would feel that you were annoying, and the envy and jealousy of you before would turn into contempt for yourself at this time, so when you fell off the branch, how much envy you used to be, how disgusted you would be now. In order to balance your mind, of course, you have to say a few sarcastic words and step on the wound a few times, as if you can erase everything you had before.

And Aix is even worse, when people's faith collapses, the negative energy that erupts is absolutely unreasonable. In the past, people may fear ghosts and gods, but when one day ghosts and gods do appear around them, they will stay away. If they find that he is not only unable to realize his wishes, but even inferior to himself, and can turn over a few heels with a gentle push by himself, then their disappointment is definitely not something that can be vented with a few scolding.

Therefore, Aix feels that it is becoming more and more difficult for him to live these days, and he doesn't seem to be very interested in the magic here, and after studying for a long time, he has not gained anything at all, and it is inevitable that he will give up on himself.

Again, the little white face named Mercedes came to the door, still ignoring Aix, still standing at the door and waiting quietly. This time, it didn't take long for Alice to come out and look at the other party without speaking.

"I'm going to leave Acacia and go to the War College, do you want to go along?" Mercedes said straight to the point, without any words of comfort, it didn't look like an unmarried couple at all, if it wasn't for Alice who wanted him to introduce him like before, Aix would definitely not believe the relationship between the two of them.

"No, I'm going to go to Blue Flame Island first, then Zaun and Piltover, and finally to the War College." Alice directly stated her plan.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, you don't." Alice said dryly.

"Okay!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

This time Alice didn't go straight back to the house, but looked at Aix and asked, "What are your plans, stay here, or go out on an adventure?" ”

Ax hesitated, and after a bit of inner struggle, when he finally decided to go out with her, there was no one at the door of the house. This made him frustrated, but also a little angry with himself, Aix did not chase into the house, but ran out of the yard, kept running, when he ran until he was tired and stopped, he no longer knew where he had run, but it should not be too far from the tribe.

"You seem to be angry, if you don't mind talking about it?" A man covered in black robes stood on a large rock not far from Aix, looked at Ax and said, and his voice seemed to have an echo effect, low and hoarse, and a little indistinct.

"Who are you?"

"Someone about the same as you." After the man finished speaking, he didn't see any movement, and the figure standing on the stone suddenly became illusory, and then there was another person beside Aix, who was the mysterious guy.

Looking at the guy who suddenly appeared beside him, Ax was inevitably startled, but he didn't feel surprised when he thought that so many heroes had this kind of displacement skill.

"That little girl is gone, don't you want to go with her?" The mysterious man said suddenly.

"Gone?" Ax was suddenly startled when he heard this, but he quickly reacted that he didn't know anything at all, and his combat power was not as good as that of an ordinary child, even if he kept up, he could only become a burden in the end, so the steps that had been taken were taken back again.
