At this time, the wind blew the windows on the side of the street with a "bang" sound, it was a cold night, so that Sauron felt that he had fallen into the mouth of a giant beast, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, a gust of wind blew, and he was half lying in the corner, he couldn't help but shiver, and could no longer stand up straight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chilblains are initially the size of a fingernail, with purplish-red bumps or indurations that are as cold as iron to the touch.

This feeling of swelling and itching, after the heat last night, turned into blisters, and now the blisters have eroded, and they have completely become shocking malignant chilblains.

"I thought that with perseverance, I could endure everything. It's just that I forgot that I am just a mortal, and I overestimate the condition of my body too much, and the 5-star blessing effect of the Eagle King can alleviate serious war injuries, but it will not help for these typhoid chilblains. Now, we have to find a place to stay warm, or tomorrow morning, this body will be frozen into an ice sculpture. ”

At this point, Zoro had to force his frozen body to be able to stand up in place. Then find a place to warm up, even if by force, even if it's risky.

"As for the evil magic that the dark sorcerer has blessed with him, it will all be dissipated by sunset tomorrow. At that time, the ability to summon the two temples will be restored. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Zoro had to use the wall behind him to stabilize his body in the cold wind.

But at this time, a set of data suddenly reflected in his eyes, "The target ———— the warlock profession is approaching." ”

Zoro's body stiffened inexplicably, and those silver eyes, although embedded in a resolute face, were restless. At this moment, his heart was complicated. There are anger, disappointment, and unwillingness, as well as that fighting look.

After the data, a ...... who seems to be in his old age is followed Old man!?

In Zoro's vision, the other party's pitch-black "shiny" face was covered by messy hair, the rag bag on his body was very heavy, and his back was hunched, and his mouth was still muttering: "It's cold, it's cold!" ”

He limped step by step, patrolling the street back and forth, as if looking for a corner where he could take refuge from the wind.

When he came to Sauron, he no longer looked down, but opened the tattered bag in his hand, rummaged through it with his black hand wrinkled like a ditch, and then, with one hand, trembling with one hand, pulled out a short wooden staff from it.

"Warlock or beggar?"

Zoro pressed the question in his heart, secretly watching the other party's movements.

It's all weird.

…… A lonely old man begs in the bitter winter wind. His figure seemed to be thinner, and his torso, crouched against the wall, looked even smaller in the winter night.

Frozen fingers flexed and clenched into fists, Zoro was ready to kill with one blow.

"Why don't you sit down and have a relaxing chat for a while, mysterious young man?"

In Zoro's sight, the old beggar, with words in his mouth, pointed forward with the wooden staff in his hand, and a pile of flames rose out of thin air.

At this moment, Zoro's arm was only half stretched forward, and then he froze there. As he admitted, he overestimated his physical condition.

If you can't kill with one hit, don't do it blindly, Zoro finally withdrew his arm and slowly sat down in the range of the flames.

"Hahaha, you're reacting a little violently, young man. Although I am a fire control warlock, my ability is limited to controlling a fireball to keep warm. Believe me, this fireball is not even a meter away. ”

The old man with a dark and shiny face laughed, unimpressed by Zoro's attack, and took out some dry firewood from his tattered bag, and kept adding it to the unquenchable fire to increase and spread the temperature in this corner.

"It's you who make me feel terrible, just now I was even thinking about whether to approach you, ordinary people can't see it, but I can feel that your body is at least blessed by the evil bondage of thirty dark warlocks."

The other party raised his head and glanced at Sauron, and deliberately added, "Dark and evil binding, that is a skill that only an absolutely high-level warlock possesses. ”

The old beggar is not the seeker of the imagination. But it didn't affect Sauron's vigilant thoughts, "So, what is your purpose in approaching this corner disguised as a beggar?" ”

Obviously, from some slight movements, Zoro's limbs still did not relax. He was leaning on this warmth, trying to drive away the stiffness of his body.

His eyes were cold and stiff, a precursor to killing.

But at this moment, the old beggar suddenly looked straight at him, and his eyes were surprisingly full of supplication.

"Believe me, I used to be rich in this stone hill city, but now I am a real beggar. I don't have the courage to come near you, because I'm going to die, tonight! ”

The old man's eye sockets were sunken deeply, and he was trying to shrink inside.

Intuition tells Zoro that the other party is telling the truth. Because if the other party has malicious intentions, there is no need to be so wordy.

Therefore, Sauron could only relax and regain his flexible body, squinting at the flames, with a wry smile on his lips, but said indifferently, "A fire can be exchanged for a wish, you are the smartest and most discerning person in this city." …… If you have something to ask for, say it now! ”

It turned out that the old beggar, or the old low-level warlock, was not wrong in his judgment.

A man who has been blessed with thirty evil bindings, if he is not the emperor of the entire empire himself, perhaps he is a word that is difficult to speak...... God.

What happened next was once again beyond Zoro's expectations. The imaginary transaction was not as sky-high as Sauron thought, but this transaction, pure and small, made him a little moved.

I saw the old warlock, flashing with a look of surprise that could not be concealed, and beckoned into the darkness with his arm.

A begging little girl came into Zoro's sight, she was only about 10 years old, her clothes were very shabby, her hair was messy, as if she hadn't been groomed for a long time, and at the same time she held a broken bowl in her hand, her head was bowed, and her eyes timidly advanced a few steps, but she was standing not far from Zoro.

"She was born in the winter and was sad. That's why her name is also Winter. I'm dying, but I hope she won't suffer anymore. …… Today is her birthday and the day she will be an orphan. Mysterious adults, as you can see...... It was a grandfather's deathbed birthday present. ”

At dawn, Sauron stood up straight, the wind still blowing, and there was no sign of abating.

"Come with me in winter."

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he took the girl's hand and left the corner of the street.

The cold wind was blowing, and the fireball on the ground had been extinguished. When the dawn had not yet come, Sauron felt a chill to the bone.

But such cold is no longer a challenge for him. The healing effect of the Eagle King's five-star effect, in one night, Zoro's back injury has been initially healed.

There were a few hideous cuts, and only a few eye-catching scars remained.

The hawkman's tough physique is back in Sauron, an all-pervading force and courage.

"Even the recovery of 50 percent of physical strength and combat strength indicates that this ordeal is about to pass." The corners of Zoro's mouth tugged at a confident smile.

Before leaving, his eyes glanced at the stiff corpse in the corner. "I will keep my promise...... Redeemer of Zoro, please be quiet on your way! ”

On the emperor's road, he is used to seeing life and death, and a corpse can't cause much reaction from Sauron.

But for this old age. And a warlock who helped him through the difficult times, Sauron deliberately chose for him a profound name,—— 'Redeemer of Sauron'.

The dead have rested, and the living must move on.

For a ten-year-old girl, the misty street, the wind, is cold. The heart is also cold.

In the face of Bingbing's corpse, the ten-year-old girl's heart was only infinitely desolate, and all the memories precipitated in this silent and long night. Stiff fingers grasped the warm palm firmly, and her heart already hated the city.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Winter's eyes, choking back with tears, messy head back, raising forehead and looking up obliquely.

At this moment, she remembered in her heart that the unkempt youth in front of her would be the only relative in this city and even in this world in winter.

Hearing Winter's question, he looked her in the eyes. The eyes that looked dark and sparkling with tears under the thick eyelashes were lovingly and attentively fixed on Zoro's face.

"The target ———— Warlock Talent, with 12 stars of potential."

Skimming over this set of data, the corners of Zoro's mouth turned up slightly. "Winter, before sunset today, you can say your three wishes. It's a birthday present from my brother! ”

(Regarding Warlocks, there are two types of entry-level Warlocks: Fire Control and Water Control.) ）

(A low-level warlock, stronger than a basic beginner warlock, has offensive abilities, which are flame control and ice control.) ）

(Intermediate Warlocks can ignite and freeze a target in a pinch.) ）

(The hallmark of a high-level warlock is that you can comprehend the magic of darkness and light on the basis of ignition and ice.) ）

…………

The sun was rising, and the gray fog seemed to be rolling endlessly.

On the street of Shigang City, I vaguely saw human heads, one, two, three...... The whole street gradually became lively. The number of people on this street has more than tripled compared to yesterday.

The cold wind roared "whirring", and with its thick fingers, it brutally grabbed the hair of the passerby, and pierced the skin of the passerby like a needle.

Pedestrians had no choice but to button their winter coats tightly, put their hands in their pockets, and shrink their necks.

It stands to reason that in such cold weather, people should hide in their homes with fireplaces burning.

But from the talk of some people, it seems that there will be some grand event going on in this stone hill city today.

"Hello? See the notice? Stone Gang City and Eagle's Nest City in the north will announce their marriage today. Why wasn't there any news before? ”

"yes, who's to say it isn't. Even if you get married, you have to make a marriage contract first. Such a hasty marriage is too unusual. ”

"Unusual fart. You don't know, do you? The Eagle's Nest City in the north has brought two beautiful wives to our Shigang City, one of whom is Catherine, the daughter of the Eagle. You've heard of this great beauty. It is said that our count, when he saw the beauty of this eagle's daughter, could not hold it. I have to ...... tonight."

Five or six merchants and civilians from Shigang City gathered around and muttered quietly, and after three seconds, they all leaned back and laughed.

"Hahaha, although Eagle's Nest City also wants to marry a wife from our earl's family. But our earl has no daughters, and he only uses one of the side tribesmen to exchange for two real eagle daughters, which is really earned. I heard that the daughter of the eagle can ...... on her wedding night"

Whispering, bursting into a louder laugh.

Immediately after that, I heard someone urging, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it." The Earl will feast his guests today, and the square of the palace will distribute free food to the people of Shigang City, and perhaps, when our Earl's salary is happy, he will also distribute coins......"

The Daughter of the Eagle, such a title may be strange to Sauron.

If he remembered correctly, the Glorious Queen was once the daughter of an eagle.

But the meaning of this eagle's daughter should be the biological daughter of the Earl of Eagle's Nest.

"Hungry in winter?"

Hearing Zoro's question, Winter shook her head sensibly, even though the smell of fried noodles on the street was very tempting, even though she hadn't eaten for two days.

"Brother, do you also want to go to the square and receive the free food distributed by the city lord?" Her winter hair was very black, but only to her ears, and she had a pair of big eyes, and the sadness that lurked in the corners of these big eyes, swept out the shallow worry on that delicate face, and seemed to still be thinking about the unknown street corner.

"In winter, we don't eat the food that is distributed for free, we only eat the food from the palace. Don't call others honorific titles, because my brother is a great nobleman, and from today onwards, you will also be ————."

Zoro's voice was indifferent and calm.

But the moment Winter raised her head in shock, she still keenly caught the smile on the corner of Zoro's mouth that looked like a knife.

"Winter's brother is a big nobleman, and from today onwards, winter is too."

Winter pursed her lips and smiled, melting the frozen sadness on her face. In the eyes of others, Zoro's words seemed to weave a sweet dream for her. But Winter was convinced of the words, and raised her forehead to look at Sauron obliquely, her eyes narrowed into a slit.

She stumbled under her feet, almost knocked over, and Winter lowered her head, a step behind, when she saw Zoro's tattered robe, revealing the bare inside, and his face, pale from the cold wind, quickly flushed slightly. (To be continued.) )
