Chapter 32: Arrival at the Night Castle
In the gray giant tornado, a small figure was swaying in the wind, like a flat boat in the endless sea, struggling powerlessly under the wind and waves.
The moment Cizer was swept into the storm, the strong wind pressure suffocated him. The tornado was also filled with the ubiquitous dirt and gravel that hit Cezel's body, causing burning pain, and his clothes quickly became tattered. If it weren't for the recovery potion he had taken before, Cizer would have been covered in bruises at this time.
What about Diablo?
Under the action of the huge centrifugal force of the tornado, the three of them had already been scattered, and they couldn't see each other's situation, and Cizer was also struggling, and even opening his mouth to shout was an extravagant hope.
At such moments, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Cizer's heart.
Not being able to breathe, because the sand in the sky will be inhaled, which is a worse situation than suffocation. Imagine that your lungs are filled with a thick layer of gravel, and that would be the most painful death in the world.
Cizer struggled to control himself, suppressing his instinct to open his mouth to inhale. But then came a lack of oxygen, and a sense of drowsiness came up.
Can't sleep! Can't ...... Sleep......
After all, the will did not defeat reality, but when Cizer was about to lose the last trace of consciousness, the quiet vortex of demonic energy in his chest suddenly vibrate!
Plop! Plop!
The demonic energy vortex closed one by one, like an alternative heart, and as the demonic energy vortex expanded and contracted, streams of air entered Cizer's body, and the turbid qi in the body was discharged.
At this time, Cizer was left with only the simplest consciousness, and in his perception, his body seemed to merge into the sky, rippling in the breeze, and the sense of coolness filled his body.
Cizer was immersed in a comfortable dream, unaware of his situation.
If one observes from the outside world, they will find that the original huge tornado seems to have suddenly become a little smaller, and the original sense of rage has also decreased a lot.
As Cizer continued to rise and fall in the storm, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the storm.
This figure seemed to have supreme power, and even the howling wind dissipated in front of him, and a vacuum appeared in the most violent place of the storm!
The figure walked straight towards Cizer, who was still drifting, and the wind around him dissipated at a rapid speed like a rabbit meeting a tiger. The figure came up to Cizer and grabbed him, who was still unconscious.
If Cizer had been aware, he would have noticed that the two figures in the figure's other hand were unusually familiar.
The figure snorted lightly as it grabbed Cezel, but in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into the storm, and even the three Cizers disappeared without a trace.
......
Helan City, a residential area in the east of the city, a double-storey bungalow.
It is said that the people who bought the property here were either imperial nobles, or great magicians or knights with more than six stars. And the owner of this piece of land is even more unattainable for them, that is the city lord of Helan City!
In a word, in a word. If you want to live here, you can't just have a rich earth leopard that can do it.
However, the owner of the family in front of him is a special existence even in the upper echelons of Helan City, this family is very low-key, so low-key that few people know what this family does, and many more people have never even seen them in person.
So few people know that in fact, there are only mother and daughter living in this bungalow.
A cup of hot tea is poured into a delicate ceramic cup, although the light blue pattern on the cup surface is not much, but the green is elegant, and it is made by a famous artist at a glance.
"Good work. β
Merlin trembled as he picked up the cup of hot tea from the table, took a sip, and put it down. He wasn't used to the new drink, which had only recently become popular, and the bitter taste still lingered on the tip of his tongue. For him, a whiskey or hot coffee is his favorite.
At this time, his eyes were staring at the girl who poured him tea in front of him, and after a while, a mist appeared in his eyes.
"Susan, I still remember what you were like five years ago. At that time, you were a little girl, and you liked to pester me for candy. By the way, do you still like divination?"
The girl smiled embarrassedly. "The divination class at the Holy Dragon Academy is very boring, and the teachers will only say that you have no talent for divination, and you are very secretive about how to peep into the future, so I haven't been exposed to divination for a long time. β
Merlin's eyes flashed with remembrance, only to be interrupted by another man's voice.
"I thought you wouldn't come back in your life!"
It was a beautiful woman who spoke, if it weren't for the crow's feet faintly visible at the corners of her eyes, some people would believe that she was a newlywed young woman in her twenties.
At this time, her face was covered with frost, and she glared angrily at old Merlin, but old Merlin was like a child who had done something wrong, and could not even make eye contact with her.
"Mom, Grandpa, he's coming to visit us today, do you have to talk like that?" Susan turned to the noblewoman, and it was obvious that she still had deep feelings for her grandfather.
The glamorous lady snorted lightly, turned her head away from Old Merlin, and looked like she didn't want to deal with him.
Old Merlin's gray beard trembled slightly, but he still didn't say a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you have something to do with this visit? I'll be happy to help you out. In order to break this oppressive atmosphere, Susan started a new topic and tried to perpetuate it.
"I'm here just to see how you're doing. Old Merlin's cloudy eyes showed a deep apology, "At the same time, I want to say sorry to Bella." I didn't protect your brother back then, Alan ......"
"That's enough!" the glamorous lady suddenly erupted, "You are not qualified to mention him! You are not qualified to be our father! Now, I want to ask you to leave here." Immediately!
Old Merlin opened his mouth to say something more, but another roar awaited him.
", I don't want to see you again!"
Merlin stiffened to his feet and walked to the door, and Susan could only remain quiet when she saw that things had come to this point. Because she knew that her mother was angry, and whatever she said at this time would only make things worse.
So she could only look at Old Merlin apologetically, thinking about how to make up for the complicated relationship between these two people in the future.
Old Merlin walked to the door, his steps suddenly paused, and then he turned to look at the face of the glamorous lady, trying to find out what he had remembered.
"Bella, I know, you've been hating me for so many years. Old Merlin spoke, his mournful voice infectious. "I blame myself for your brother's death, so I haven't had the face to see you for so many years. I'm also not a competent father, I just know to do experiments all day. I haven't cooked for you, and I don't remember playing with you, but it was Alan who took care of you. He's dead, you hate me, I can understand that. At this point, old Merlin was already choked up.
"After Allen died, I made a mess of my life, and I felt like I was going with Allen, not realizing that you were a little girl and needed to be taken care of. Old Merlin's tears were already flowing uncontrollably, Susan's eyes were full of tears, and the cold woman's frozen face was moved.
"After all these years, I know I owe you something, and I know I am not qualified to ask for anything more. At this, Old Merlin suddenly made a startling move.
He got down on his knees!
"Grandpa, what are you doing, get up!" Susan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but found that this old body was so heavy at this moment.
"I just hope you can forgive me, I don't want to...... I don't want my only daughter to hate me until I die!" Old Merlin sobbed, her head bowed, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
At some point, Old Merlin raised his head and saw that the cold woman had come to him, and the two clear tears on his face were still there.
"You're an old bastard!" Bella said suddenly.
Old Merlin lowered his head again, his face full of shame.
"But you are Susan's grandfather, and I hope you will take good care of her and not make the same mistakes you made back then. β
Old Merlin looked up sharply, and saw that the familiar eyes were no longer cold, but a little more warm.
"You...... Will you forgive me?" Old Merlin's voice trembled a little, but his heart beat faster than ever, and it was the gentlest word he had heard from Bella's mouth in all these years.
"Nope!"
Bella's answer sent him straight back to hell.
"But I suppose Alan he will forgive you. β
Old Merlin's mood rose back to heaven again, and the huge difference almost broke his fragile heart.
"Mom, don't scare your grandfather anymore, you see he's drenched in sweat. Susan protested, but a smile spread across her face. Seeing her mother and grandfather get back together, she can be said to be the happiest person.
"Grandpa, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground. Susan pulled old Merlin up from the ground, helped him to the chair next to him and sat down, as if she suddenly remembered something, looked at old Merlin and asked, "By the way, grandpa, have you seen a very naΓ―ve child in the Holy Sword Academy?
The red hair fell to her chest, and those beautiful eyes stared at old Merlin vigorously. And old Merlin just smiled, thinking about the students he had traveled far away, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
......
Ahh
Cizer sneezed sharply, then opened his wistful eyes and looked around blankly.
Where am I?
Cizer lifted the blanket from his body and found that his arm guard was still on his arm, while two familiar figures slept beside him.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, Auston, Diablo!"
"Oh, I'm so sleepy, what's the matter?" said Diablo every morning, muttering and rubbing his eyes.
Alston was much better in comparison, sitting up silently, and then looking around.
Cizer now judged himself to be in a carriage, a cramped carriage full of all sorts of things.
"It's a little familiar......"
Cizer looked at the placement of the contents of the car and was shocked.
It's Hillman's carriage!
Just then, a familiar voice came from the front of the carriage.
"Boys, are you awake? We're almost to Nightcastle!"
Cizer opened the curtain in front of the carriage when he heard the sound, and the harsh sunlight outside made Cizer close his eyes for the first time, and then slowly opened them after a while.
It was a long procession with pedestrians of all colors in front of it, in a zigzag line. Among them were civilians, merchants, and carriages.
At the end of the line was a huge black castle, guarded by armoured soldiers at intervals. At the gate of the city, two soldiers were strictly checking the pedestrians, and from time to time there were stern reprimands, and a solemn atmosphere spread.
"Welcome to the Night Castle!"
Hillman sat in front of the carriage and said to Cizer with a big smile on his face.
