Chapter Seventy-Five: Annie
Kuwait sighed, covered his eyes with his hands, and shouted bitterly, "Oh, you have found it here, it seems that you don't need me anymore." β
"Don't do that, it's crowded during the day, and Layla can't pinpoint the location of the star carving, we're all waiting for you. Randy stepped forward and patted the other man on the back, and said with a good voice.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Kuwait waved his hand, "Without further ado, let's go over now, and I'll see what the legendary star carving is like." β
No matter how many times he saw this person with the name of a sage, Zhou Lie could not associate him with a sage, this person really looked like a child with a childlike heart.
But childlike innocence can't describe children.
At first, everyone wanted to act at night, so after a brief preparation, I wanted to go to the store.
At night, there are patrols on the road to guard the order, generally speaking, no one is allowed to go out again, and at night it is time to sleep, and going out must be sneaky thieves.
However, seeing that Randy had the token given by the Archon, the patrols didn't care what their group was going to do.
Although they walked the road they had walked, the city was very different at night, it was dark and dark, and there was no reference, but Layla and Kuwait used the light technique, which solved the problem of vision very well, but it couldn't stop the gloomy appearance on the street where no one was around.
After about an hour, everyone returned to the door of the store again, and the store was closed at this moment, and there was not a single customer, and they could not smell the aroma of the daytime, but there was a lot of oil left on the ground, and it was sticky and disgusting to walk on.
"What, is it the same as daytime?" Zhou Lie asked.
Before Layla could answer, Kuwait spoke first, "No, there is no external force control of the elemental head knife on this street now, and the technique used during the day has been lifted. β
"You can think it's manipulative. β
"It's a nuisance. β
Without hesitation, Randy knocked on the door of the shop, and it was obvious that the first floor of the shop was a barbecue shop during normal business hours, and the second floor was the residence of the owner of the shop.
There was a loud knock on the door, and it wasn't long before the familiar shopkeeper came downstairs and opened the door for everyone.
"I'm sorry, we're not open now, so let's hurry up and find a hotelγγγγγ Huh?" said the man as he pulled the door open a small slit and said with displeasure at being woken up, but in the middle of the conversation, Randy pushed the door in, unceremoniously.
"What are you doing?" the man angrily looked at the three people who broke into the room, Zhou Lie and Layla didn't like this kind of action, Fried had been standing quietly at the end, only Randy, Kuwait, and Alfrey had broken in.
Randy showed a badge, and when the man saw it, his face immediately changed, and he knew that he knew that how many people in front of him would dare to continue yelling at him, and as for what the other party would do, the man could only pray that it would not bring ruin to his family.
"You have what we need in your store. Randy said, "We're going to do a search, you're okay." β
Although his face was full of unwillingness, the man still nodded, "I'll go and call my daughter up, so that he won't cause you trouble." β
"Hmm. β
After receiving approval, the man immediately goes upstairs, and Randy's search begins.
Of course, the main searcher was Kuwait, he put down the technique on the first floor, and a small green point of light appeared in the air, jumping left and right like an elf, and after a while, it seemed to find the right direction and went towards the second floor.
"How?" Zhou Lie asked in his heart.
"Well, indeed, in this shop, let's go up and have a look, and my gut tells me that it's better not to fall into their hands. Frem said.
"Hmm, partner?" Zhou Lie said strangely in his heart, "When will you use this word?"
"What's the matter? Tim and I have been with him for a long time before we finally decided on a relationship between the two of us, which is to be partners. β
"Haha, nothing. Zhou Lie smiled and followed up to the second floor, where the green point of light floated faintly, and then quickly disappeared into a room.
"Ahh The girl's screams were heard.
Opening the door, the girl who served food to everyone in the morning looked at the green light dot hovering in front of her at this moment, and hugged her father's hand in fright.
"In this girl's body?" Zhou Lie's heart sank, this was the last thing he wanted to see, now that the two stars were engraved in his body, they would definitely not want other stars to be engraved on the people they were not controlling, I am afraid that they would seize the Wind Star Engraved in the same way as the Fire Star Engraved and Frem.
"Hey, Randy. Zhou Lie pulled Randy's shoulder and looked at the other party fiercely.
And the other party just looked at Zhou Lie lightly, spread his hands and said, "It's not up to me, now he is the biggest in our group." β
Randy's finger is Kuwait, the great sage whose words and actions have always been off the line.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the man hugged his daughter and looked at them with a look of horror, he didn't want to go against the officials of the empire, for them in the city, there was nothing less to do, but if he interfered with his only family, he wouldn't care about anything else.
"What do you want to do with my daughter?"
Kuwait smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, it's just that your daughter has what we want." β
The aura exuded by this sage at this moment was not at all as easy-going and scoundrel as before, and there seemed to be a cold wind passing through the room.
Then Kuwait looked at the girl, crouched down, and said slowly, "What's your name?"
The girl watched as the green dot of light was brought into Kuwait's hands, her eyes flickering with fear and amazement, and then she summoned up her courage and replied in a low voice, "Annie." β
"Anne, that's a good name. The head of the silent girl in Kuwait continued to ask, "How old are you this year?"
"Ten years old. β
"Do you know that magic exists?"
"Hmm," said the girl with a wink of eyes, "I've seen it in a book, something like this green dot of light?"
"That's right, after all, I relied on this to find you. Kuwait smiled, then asked in a loud voice, "Would you like to come to Tionlis, that's where you should be." β
Tionlis, the Magic City, Anne didn't know, but the man who guarded her daughter had heard of it.
"The legendary magic city?"
"That's right, it's a pity that what we need is on your daughter, if anything is needed. With that, Kuwait took out an elemental crystal.
Just like the elemental crystal that Layla took out on the rooftop that day, in Kuwait's hand, this crystal glowed green.
But when it was handed over to Anne, the green in the crystal changed color even more vividly, like a green ball of water shining in your hand.
This level of reaction, Zhou Lie has seen it more than once, the time he came into contact with the elemental crystal, and now this time, and when Layla was in contact at that time.
"Is this the reaction of the star carving?" Layla's puzzled voice came from behind Zhou Lie, Kuwait turned his head and nodded, "That's right, only those who carry the star carving can reach the extreme, although this child is still ignorant now, but under our teaching, he can master this power, just like you let the smell of your barbecue drift so far away." β
Hearing Kuwait's words, the father looked at his daughter in surprise, and Anne had a look of surprise on her face.
Wind Star carved and recovered peacefully.
After that, Anne agreed to Kuwait's request to study at Tionlis and become his apprentice under Kuwait, while assuring the shopkeeper that Anne would have no problems and that she would have enough money to live on every month in Tionlis.
After that, Layla went to Kuwait once, and then silently locked herself in the hotel to read.
Although it is said that he has found the star carving, Randy still needs to deal with some things here, and this time he did not use the box, but accepted the person who held the star carving as Tionlis's apprentice, and how to report this matter to the prime minister still needs to be carefully considered.
Alfred and Fried looked relieved, it seemed that the two also knew some inside stories and were reluctant to do anything to each other.
At this point, Randy and Kuwait have a dispute over how to deal with the matter, Randy asks the other party Anne to retain her citizenship and give her father the opportunity to visit his family at least four times a year, but Kuwait refuses to visit his family on the grounds that he needs an undisturbed environment to practice magic.
While the two were talking, the other four were either drinking or hanging out in the city.
Zhou Lie knew why Layla was like this, and even Zhou Lie, who didn't know anything about magic, learned a little unusual.
His own flame star carving can make the magic crystal emit that kind of light, and the same is true of Annie's wind star carving, so Layla, who has the same light, must also have something similar in her body.
The seven star carvings represent the seven attributes of this world, so in Layla's body, I'm afraid it's the water star carving.
Layla was clearly aware of this, and she was also aware that she was lying, and might even have guessed that in Oslin, their actions were actually to recover the Fire Star Tick, and that Star Tick might have been on herself.
Then I think of the masked man who appeared in the negotiation hall with a mask and a wig in his hair, and his own test, I'm afraid that Layla will also know that the person who injured her master is herself.
Hey, after all, there will be a day when things will be exposed, Zhou Lie was walking on the street with his hands behind his back, and then, he saw a person who should not have appeared here.
