"Shirley, wake up." Grenaud's tone was full of mildness.

"This is the honorable Mr. Warlock Allen, who saved you." The mayor sat next to Shirley, gently stroking Shirley's long hair, "You can meet people." ”

Hearing this, Shirley opened her eyes, her starry eyes moved slightly, and there was a sweet smile on her face. Shirley didn't seem to react to what happened to her, but vaguely remembered that she seemed to have been attacked before she fell asleep.

Yes, that's right, the attack, after the winter holidays, Shirley returned to the town of Palaya from the City of Gold, and that day it was already dark, the wind was blowing in the forest, and it was about to snow. Shirley followed the instructions of the servants, and slowly walked towards the small town of Palaya overnight.

In the middle of the night, except for Miss Shirley, who was still meditating alone, only the coachman of her carriage and the few guards riding horses beside the carriage were still awake.

Suddenly, Shirley heard the wind outside the carriage and seemed to be in a hurry, Shirley was childish, and just looked out to see if it was snowing, and suddenly, the carriage shook, and the huge bump made Shirley's thin body hit the stiff frame.

A powerful force overturned the carriage in which Shirley was riding, and the two horses pulling the carriage let out an amazing neigh, and their stomachs were torn open at the same time by a giant skeleton emerging from the ground.

In Shirley's memory, the shouts of the guards, the screams of the maids, and the sound of weapons clashing were mixed together, and her eyes were full of blood, and her nose seemed to be full of blood.

Shirley had not yet become a mage, but had only learned a spell of ice and snow, and when she encountered an accident, Shirley barely managed to stabilize her mind and cast a spell. But the skeleton that rose from the ground was at least two meters tall, its bones were extremely hard, and its movement speed was extremely fast, and the weapons of the guards could not hurt it at all.

Thinking of this, Shirley's eyes suddenly turned red: "Father, how is Uncle Cacho now?" Shirley still remembers that in order to protect herself from the attack of the skeletons, Uncle Cacho and his men tried their best, and in the end, if it wasn't for Uncle Cacho's desperate fight against each other, I am afraid that something would have happened to him.

Greno was stunned for a moment, and asked his daughter to meet Mr. Warlock, but he didn't expect the girl to ask Uncle Cacho. Mr. Mayor sighed heavily, his expression gloomy, and said, "You have to thank Uncle Cacho, if it weren't for him, you'd be in danger." ”

"This! Father, do you mean ......" Shirley looked pained and panicked.

"Yes boy, Cacho he has ...... Sacrificed! ”

"Ahh Shirley burst into tears, and at the thought of Uncle Cacho's sacrifice for herself, Shirley was so sad that she was so sad that she couldn't stop shedding tears.

Gray also felt deep helplessness and self-blame for this, which he did not do enough as a father. If more people had been sent to pick up her daughter, maybe the result would have been different, but who would have thought of such an accident.

"Mr. Allen, look." The daughter ignored Allen, and Greno showed a slight embarrassment on his face, but found that Alan was just looking at Shirley silently, unhurried, as if he was looking at a partner who had known each other for a long time.

Alan spotted Grenor's gaze with a smile on his face, "Sister Shirley is very kind." ”

Hearing this, Grenor nodded reassuringly: "Mr. Allen has spoken too well about Shirley. ”

Alan didn't say much, Greno raised Miss Shirley, accompanied her for more than ten years, and gave her the best love and care in the world, but in fact, the person who accompanied Shirley for more time was Ellen. The two have been together for more than 80 years, and they are inseparable from each other.

Of course, no one would argue with a father's modesty words, and both Alan and Grenor knew that Shirley was indeed kind.

Finally, Shirley stopped her grief a little, still holding her knees, and looked at the two people in the room with big eyes, one was her father and the other was ......

Well?

Shirley remembered her father's words, and then realized that she was rude, but at this time, there was no reason for Allen's expression to appear in her mind, and then look at Allen, at this time, the young man had a faint smile on his face, and when he brushed it, his face turned red again.

"Hello, dear Miss Shirley, I'm Alan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Alan looked into Shirley's eyes and said his first words to Shirley.

"Ahh Shirley was flustered again, what was wrong with herself, why her heart was beating faster again.

"I'm Shirley, Grenor? Shirley, an apprentice mage, is a pleasure to meet you, Venerable Mr. Warlock! Shirley was slightly flustered, but her demeanor was still down-to-earth and generous.

Grenor nodded in satisfaction, and Alan just looked at her dotingly. Alan is only twelve or thirteen years old now, and in the eyes of Mayor Grenor, Alan looks at Shirley's expression as if he is an older brother, looking at his sister fondly.

Thinking of Allen's words about Shirley being his disciple before, Grenor smiled again, it seems that there is still some fate between these two children, and the young and promising Mr. Warlock obviously likes his daughter very much.

There was no trace of blasphemy in Allen's eyes, and he was still young, Mr. Mayor felt warm in his eyes, and if Shirley could have a caring brother, he would not be so lonely.

So he asked, "Mr. Allen, you said before that you want Shirley to learn spells from you, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that Grenor took the initiative to ask about this, Alan said unhurriedly: "In fact, my teacher is a great spellcaster, and now that he has left the north and is looking for opportunities on the mainland, my teacher has been looking for an excellent successor. ”

Hearing this, Grenor smiled and said, "Mr. Allen is so good, isn't he an excellent successor?" ”

Alan scratched his hair and smiled, "My qualifications are obviously not as good as Miss Shirley." ”

The boy was telling the truth, although Shirley's qualifications were not very good when she was studying at the Mage Academy, and she barely reached the standard of learning spells, but after the family changes, Shirley made a breakthrough in the great changes, comprehended the "Heart of Ice and Snow", and made an amazing breakthrough in ice spells, and later cultivated even more than Allen.

Grenor suddenly asked: "This night is busy, everyone has not calmed down, Grenor also asked Mr. Allen's experience, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Alan looked at Shirley and then at Grenor, "If you believe me, remember everything Alan said today." My teacher, a great spellcaster, once received a legendary prophecy scroll predicting that in the near future, the continent of Divine Grace would be plunged into turmoil. ”

Shirley is a very important person to Allen, and in the upcoming troubled times, Shirley's family must be the object of Allen's protection, so Allen intends to slowly instill the great changes after more than a year into the Shirley and the two in a way that ordinary people can accept.

Hearing Allen's words, Greno and Shirley both showed surprised looks on their faces, they didn't expect Allen to say such amazing words. Although Shirley and the others had never been exposed to prophecy, when they heard the word "legend", they naturally understood the importance of this matter.

If the prophecy is true, what will happen in the future? When you think about it, you can't help but feel worried.

Alan saw the trusting gaze on Shirley and Grenor's faces, and felt warm in his heart, perhaps because of this, it is possible for the two parties to truly make friends and become absolutely important partners.

"My teacher is looking for variables on the mainland, and in fact, many things have faintly proved that a storm is brewing." Alan said, "The skeleton monster that Shirley encountered, and the assassin I encountered, are most likely related to future changes. ”

Greno was stunned, as a mayor with a holistic view, he didn't think of the connection between the two attacks.

Of course, this is a reasonable thing, after all, not everyone in this world has experienced earth-shattering changes in the future like Allen, and has a broader view of the overall situation.

Just as Alan was about to tell Shirley and the others some more useful information, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged maid said respectfully, the sheriff had asked for an audience in the hall of the mansion, and the assassin had been caught last night.

Hearing this, Allen and Grenor were all happy on their faces, and they didn't expect that this thing would still succeed.

Shirley looked at her father suspiciously, then at Allen.

Alan smiled at Shirley: "Miss Shirley, you can rest first, let the servant get you some food, you haven't eaten for many days." Oh, and remember, don't drink warm milk on an empty stomach. Alan knew that milk was one of Shirley's favorite foods, and reminded him.

Miss Shirley was taken aback again, and hurriedly nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Allen." ”

Greno also said at this time: "My daughter, you should rest first, Mr. Allen and I still have some things to do, and I will accompany you later." ”

Shirley nodded obediently: "Father, Mr. Allen, you guys are busy." "I don't ask what it is.

"Mr. Grenor, let's go, I'll take you to interrogate the assassin, about the prophecy that Teacher Allen said, in the interrogation, if possible, and then gradually unfold, maybe some things, through the mouth of others, can be explained more clearly." Alan said, holding the broken staff.

Looking at the staff, Alan suddenly remembered that he could only have 24 hours of mage mana, and in the days to come, he or Shirley didn't know what kind of accidents would happen, so he had to guard against it, while the mage's mana was still there, Alan could still do something.

While thinking, he walked behind Grenor, and soon, the two of them had reached the first floor of the mayor's mansion.

Alan was taken aback when he saw it, the sheriff's face was pale, and he had a white bandage tied around his left shoulder, which had been soaked red with blood. Behind the sheriff, a dark elf with a drooping head, judging by its plump chest and extremely slender waist, was none other than last night's assassin.

"I'm tired of you, thank you for your dedication, Mr. Derian." Alan said as he swung his staff, and a spa spell struck the sheriff.
