Chapter 438: Forget Magic? (2nd Update)
Half a month later, the Santa Margaret crossed the endless abyss and reached the southern continent of Olympus.
After half a month of cultivation, Sun Ran's previous weakness has basically recovered, and the only trace left is the white temples.
The young man has a white head, and the vicissitudes of life are indescribable, and this strand of white hair completely erases the immature atmosphere on his body.
Before arriving at the port, Sun Ran went to the deck, looked at the coastline that was getting closer and closer, and sighed deeply.
"Mr. Rhodes...... "The captain is coming.
Sun Ran raised his hand to stop his words: "My name is not Rod, my real name is Russell." β
"Russell the Great Magician!" The captain's eyes suddenly widened, in the northern continent, the reputation of the great magician Russell spread all over the streets and alleys, and even a yellow-mouthed child could say Russell's name in one mouth.
This is a peerless fierce god who has killed 300,000 troops in a forbidden curse pit!
The captain was speechless for a moment.
Sun Ran smiled faintly, took out a few gems from Medusa's lair, and handed them to the captain: "On this trip, you have suffered a lot of losses, and your sailor family must also be compensated." You can take this and make up for it, it's my fare. β
The captain looked down at the jewels in his hand, they were as big as pigeon's eggs, crystal clear, all of them priceless treasures, more than enough to make up for his loss.
He was so moved that he couldn't speak.
Sun Ran ignored him, looked at the shore that was getting closer and closer, and sighed: "After many years of companionship, once lost, I know that it is precious." β
He unleashed the Great Flying Technique and took off.
"My lord, where are you going?"
"A homeless man, wherever you go." An answer came from the air, but the man had already flown away.
Edwin, a magician on the side, walked up and asked, "Is he Russell?" β
The captain nodded.
"No wonder...... No wonder it's so powerful. Edwin was stunned, and he said. How could such a powerful magician appear out of thin air, it turned out to be the famous great magician Russell. It's just that now I see how young this man is.
"Alas, what's the use of being strong? Nor is it necessary to live happier than we are. Luc, the old magician of the interface, let out a long sigh.
"That's because fate is unfair." The captain sighed, he took out the gem given by Sun Ran and said, "Russell gave it to me." I can't keep this gem alone. Let's exchange it for gold together. β
In the temple, Athena quietly watched this scene, then looked at Russell who was flying away, and said to herself: "Don't say anything else, this Russell's character is good." β
However, having a superb talent and a good character, it is rare to obtain, and Athena decided to continue observing.
in the sky. Sun Ran performed a great flying technique and flew away from the St. Margaret.
This time I came back to the south, I originally came to take refuge, and by the way, I checked the situation in the south, but when Zhao Shan left, there was a god in the sky who was watching him, so Sun Ran couldn't act rashly, and his sister was killed by him by mistake. It can't just pass, otherwise it will be too abrupt.
Come and think about it. Sun Ran decided to continue acting and play a trick to escape the world and live in seclusion.
He didn't have any destination, so he flew for half a day at will, spanning hundreds of kilometers, and suddenly saw a small town with beautiful mountains and rivers below, and thought about it. Just outside the town, it fell.
When I arrived at the gate of the town, I saw a stone tablet with "Muxi Town" written on it, and when I looked up, there was a strip on the left hand side that was more than forty meters wide. The town has a water-powered lumberyard, a water-powered mill, a waterwheel, and a few humble wooden houses next to it.
Peaceful, plain town.
Sun Ran decided to live here, live incognito, and live a quiet life.
When they arrived in the town, a militiaman with a sword and a bow and leather armor came up: "Stranger, it seems that he is still a magician, is there anything wrong with coming to our Muxi Town?" β
"I'm wandering around, looking for a place to settle."
"Settle in our town?"
"Yes, can I see your mayor? I hope to have his permission. β
"Mayor Mare? It's unfortunate. There was just no mayor, and when he went out, he was bitten to death by a wolf in the woods, leaving only a thigh bone. Oh, that's terrible. The militia had a familiar expression on his face, no way, there are many beasts in this town, and it is too normal for beasts to attack.
He continued: "We haven't had time to elect a new mayor yet. If you want to settle down, choose a random plot of land next to it, but don't choose someone else's field and pay someone to build a house, and that's it. Also, you have to be careful not to use your magic everywhere, we are under the protection of Lord Leon, the archmage of Arpad City, and if you go too far, you will be punished by Arpad City! β
"Yes." Sun Ran looked left and right, and finally pointed to a clearing on the edge of the woods and asked, "Can I build a wooden house there?" β
"Of course. If you're not afraid of wild beasts breaking into your home in the middle of the night, feel free. The militia laughed.
For the average player living in an ordinary town, the beasts of the forest are the worst enemies of their daily lives, and they can be killed at any time.
Of course, Sun Ran was not afraid of beasts, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much." So, can I cut down the trees around me to make materials for building a house? β
"Of course...... Yes, but you have to pay. The trees around the town are the property of the town. β
Sun Ran reached into his coat pocket, got seven or eight gold coins, his hand lit up slightly, and used magic to erase the head on the gold coin, and melted the gold coin into an irregular stone shape, and then took out his coat pocket and handed it to the militia: "This is the dog's head gold I picked up when I traveled, and it was used as my money to buy wood, okay?" β
At this time, many townspeople had come to see the excitement, everyone saw and heard, now it is a clear transaction, Sun Ran is not afraid of this militia cheating.
The militiaman's eyes lit up, he took the nugget, turned to the townsfolk and smiled, "Alright, everyone, we have a generous neighbor. We divide this gold equally! β
The townspeople immediately laughed happily, and some young people whistled, happy that the windfall was flying here, and looking at Sun Ran's gaze became much more enthusiastic.
Someone shouted, "Welcome to Muxi Town." β
The militia patted Sun Ran on the shoulder with a smile on his face: "Good luck magician, just stay." If you need help, just say it, as long as you eat, we will help you to the end. β
"Thank you very much." Sun Ran smiled, took out another piece of melted gold nugget and said, "I haven't eaten as a bum." For this piece of gold, I asked someone to help me build a wooden house. All right? β
The militiaman took the gold and said with a smile: "You are so generous. Okay, we'll help. β
Then he greeted a strong man next to him and threw the nugget over: "Fortune, Div, you have earned this money." Take the gold and do it well for others! β
Then he introduced to Sun Ran: "See? His name is Div, the carpenter of the town, and he will build you an excellent house. β
The strong man took the gold nugget with both hands, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and after confirming that it was real gold, he enthusiastically patted Sun Ran on his chest and promised: "Mr. Magician, five days, I only need five days." You'll have one of the best wooden houses in town. For these five days, you can eat and live at my house. β
"Thank you very much. Also, my name is Russell. β
"Oh, yes, Mr. Russell."
After some exchanges, Sun Ran was initially accepted by the town and lived in the carpenter Diff's house.
Diff was very responsible, after taking Sun Ran to his house. Immediately went out to get ready to build a house, his wife. A woman in her thirties began to be busy preparing food to entertain Sun Ran.
Sun Ran was also a little hungry, so he sat at the table and drank sweet ale to pass the time.
"Uncle, why is your hair white here? Is it dyed? A milky voice sounded beside him.
Sun Ran turned his head and saw a little boy of four or five years old standing aside, looking at him curiously with a pair of dark eyes.
Sun Ran looked stunned and gloomy for a while. Then he smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not dyed, it's born like this." β
"Oh, it's like the white-haired fox in the forest, right?"
"That's right." Sun Ran smiled.
Then the woman came up. Serving a large plate of fragrant potato stew, he smiled embarrassedly: "Little Laco is too small to speak, I'm really sorry." Also, it's winter, and that's all. We hope you are satisfied. β
"Enough, thank you very much." Sun Ran took the stewed broth, tasted it, it was extremely delicious, and began to drink it beautifully.
β¦β¦
Five days later, Div, the carpenter, completed the wooden house as scheduled, and Sun Ran went over to take a look, and the wooden house was still divided into two floors, a cellar, and a stove, which was indeed the best in the town.
He moved in satisfied, and began a peaceful life in the town.
Athena's gaze followed all the way and continued to observe Sun Ran's life.
A day later, she didn't feel right.
"The staff, the robe, the magic book, all the magic items are hidden, what are you going to do?"
Half a month later, Athena finally understood.
"Because the magic killed my sister, are you ready not to touch the magic? Fool one, I'll see how long you can endure! β
It is simply a torment for a powerful magician who originally loved magic to suddenly become completely cut off from magic, lose all the convenience that magic brings, and go to live the life of an ordinary person.
Athena believed that after a while, this Russell would regain his staff.
Time flies.
A month later, Russell was drinking in the tavern, getting drunk and crying, and the town's blacksmith, who was also drunk, thought he was noisy, and the two sides fought and beat the ground with chicken feathers.
During this time, Russell, who was a magician, was at a disadvantage in the face of a strong blacksmith.
However, Russell did not use magic.
Two months later, a lone wolf broke into Russell's cabin and nearly succeeded in a sneak attack, biting Russell's neck off and being found at the last minute. A man and a wolf began to fight hand-to-hand, and finally Russell's arm was bitten and broken, and the lone wolf was strangled by the neck and suffocated.
At the moment of life and death, Russell still did not use magic.
Half a year later, the gold in Russell's pocket was about to run out, and he had fully integrated into the town. In order to save money, he took matters into his own hands, fenced around the wooden house, cleared the land, planted vegetables in the yard, raised chickens and ducks, and raised a hunting dog for guarding.
Forced by life, Russell still did not use magic. He seems to have completely forgotten the glory of the past.
Athena finally couldn't stand it, and gritted her teeth and resented: "The great magician, who actually fought with people in the tavern, was seriously injured by a wild wolf, and even scavenged in the mud, he is really willing to fall!" β
"Ahh A voice came from behind him.
Turning her head, Athena saw Venus entering the main hall, and although she did not deal with the woman, she still replied: "It is Russell whom I have been observing, and he is ready to forget about magic." I really can't understand it! β
"Won't it?" Venus didn't believe it.
"See for yourself." Athena pushed past the observation log.
Venus flipped through it and chuckled, "That's interesting." Well, that's not deep enough. You see, I'm going to put him to the test, and if he can still use magic, then it's hopeless. β
"Are you going to play your trick of parting with men and women in love again?"
"It's clichΓ©, but it's really good." Venus laughs.
Athena was silent, it was true, Venus was well versed in human nature, and every time she descended to earth, no matter how powerful the hero was, she would bend her waist for her, succumb to his pomegranate skirt, and never escape.
Venus laughed: "The original sin of human nature is the wonderful thing that cannot be changed even if you know that he exists. Look at it, Russell can use magic. β
With a twist of her body, she turned into a flash of starlight and fell into the mortal world of Muxi Town. (To be continued......)
