22 "Sister Sorcerer"

Without waiting for Milo and his party to explain their intentions, the "Magician Sister" spoke first: "You are all injured, it is best not to move, I will take you to a safe place." Hearing her voice, the four of them all felt "huh" in their hearts, for it was pleasant and crisp—it was the voice of an innocent girl, very different from the voice they had expected to be older than the earl. All four of them were injured, so they had to obey first and stay where they were. The "magician sister" began to chant the spell silently. Nightfinch had a strange look on her face, and as a mage, she didn't understand what it was about. Melo lay down, looking at the still gloomy sky, waiting. The four of them felt a white, soft light appear in front of them, gradually occupying all the fields of vision in front of them, as if they had closed their eyes......

By the time a few people reacted, they were already indoors, and judging by the unprocessed rock walls around them, it was a cave. Two oil lamps illuminated the surroundings, and several people were not lying down in the snow, but under them were hard earth and rock.

"What's going on, why did we suddenly change places?!" Parrett asked in surprise, apparently frightened by his fantastical experience. The same was true of Milo, who had just been in the snow at the foot of the mountain, but was now in the warmth of the cave, with an indescribable strangeness, and he hurriedly looked around, and finally found the magician behind him, who had now taken off her hood and revealed her true face.

The "Magician Sister" is not tall, with a slender figure, with a pretty melon seed face, which is like a peach color under the background of the oil lamp, and the eyes are also just right embedded in the face, the size is well-proportioned, and the proportions are very harmonious; He has long jet-black hair with two strands of side hair in front of him. Melo suddenly discovers that this is a person who is even more beautiful than Heidi, and from the outside, he is not necessarily much older than Heidi, maybe only about twenty-one or two years old. But Milo knew that a magician who could slash the djinn with magic in an instant could never be so young.

"Is this teleportation magic? You cast spells alone? "The person who asked the question was the Night Sparrow, and the Snow Dog had changed back into human form and was resting beside her." Teleportation magic requires at least four mages to cast successfully, how do you do that? ”

In the face of Night Sparrow's continuous questions, the "Magician Sister" did not answer, she handed everyone some medicine, and said, "You guys take care of your injuries first, and if you need help, you can talk to me while healing." The four of them also carried a lot of medicine and food, and also accepted the magician's kindness. Milo dealt with it briefly, and hurriedly said, "We are from ......"

"Windswept Town, huh? Ent...... Ahem. The magician took over, pausing slightly at the end, as if looking at Milo's cloak. Mello was taken aback, he clearly heard the magician calling him by his last name, although he didn't call Quan, but why did the magician know the surname "Entekoman"? And she speaks very calmly, although her appearance looks very young, but her way of speaking and tone are very mature and steady, it seems that her appearance and age must not match.

"Yes, we're from Windwalk. I'm Milo Entekoman, a soldier of the Spellet Empire, and the leader of the second squad of the 1st Infantry Regiment. Milo replied to the magician's rhetorical question, and he also noticed that the magician's lips twitched slightly, "What should I call you?" ”

The magician found a stone and sat down in front of Milo, and at the same time faced the other three, and said, "Hello, all of you in Windwalk, my name is 'Wind Chime', and I am a magician who lives in seclusion in this snowy mountain. "Nickname?" Nightfinch asked. "It's not a nickname, it's a name, it's called 'Wind Chimes.'" She said it again, and although the name was most likely fake, it was only possible to call her that way for now.

"Wind Chime, we're still in a mess right now, you used teleportation magic, like I said before, you have to have four people cast spells at the same time, you can ...... And your age, although it would be rude to ask like this, we still don't understand......" Nightfinch said this quickly, clearly confused by the performance of the wind chimes before.

Wind Chime calmly replied, "My experience has taught me a lot of unique magic, including my appearance, which is also maintained through magic, although this is not my intention. ”

"Yes, yes...... Time control magic? Have you extended your life? Nightfinch asked incoherently.

Wind Chime didn't seem to want to answer, and she cleverly diverted the topic: "I'll explain these things to you when I have the chance." But can you tell me: did you use the spell stone I left behind to find me because something happened in Windwalk? Snow Dog comforted Night Sparrow with his eyes, but also reminded her not to put the cart before the horse, and the group came here to ask the magician to help Fengxing Town solve the difficulties.

The snoring sound of "purring and ......" reached everyone's ears, and it turned out that Parrett was lying on the ground asleep, he was indeed too tired, and after listening to magic questions and doubts that he couldn't understand at all for a long time, he finally lost his strength and was overwhelmed by drowsiness.

"Then come and tell me, what's wrong with Windwalk? Captain Entekoman. The wind chime still said calmly, and the voice was still as sweet as a girl. Milo suddenly realized that there was an indescribable sense of loss hidden in this voice, and it was clear that the mage Wind Chime was haunted by an intractable problem, and it was likely to affect her fate. Not long ago, Milo had seen the power of wind chimes, but he couldn't think of what could be bothering her. Milo decides not to think about these brain-wrenching questions, and the first thing she needs to solve is the crisis in Windrun Town, so that Heidi can get out of danger as soon as possible.

Melo tells Wind Chime about the crisis in Windwalk, emphasizing the stakes for the lives of hundreds of people in Windwalk. "It seems that the boy is now a lord," said Wind Chime, "and it was indeed 'sister' who called me that, and it was decades later...... I see, I'm going to help Windwalk. Receiving an affirmative answer from the wind chimes, the trio smiled with relief, and Parrett continued to sleep. Melo was so excited that he seemed to have seen himself and Heidi sail to Dragon to find their family.

"Then let's go now," said Milo anxiously, "and where is this?" Far from Windwalk? ”

The wind chime replied unhurriedly: "This is in a cave deep in the snowy mountains." Don't worry, rest first, and we'll set off at dawn. ”

"Dawn?!" When Milo heard this answer, he hurriedly explained, "It took us almost a day when we came, and if we set off tomorrow morning, I'm worried that we won't have enough time to prepare for ......."

"Captain Milo!" Nightfinch interjected, "You forgot that wind chimes can use teleportation magic. It's also a matter of moments to get back to Windrun from here. It dawned on Milo that he had been carried away by impatience. Wind chimes smile to show that they don't care, and signal everyone to have a good rest.

Milo had no choice but to accept the kindness of the wind chimes and prepare to rest. He wrapped himself in a cloak, not really cold, but used to doing it. Milo noticed that Wind Chimes were staring at the family crest on his cloak intentionally or unintentionally, at least indicating that Wind Chimes had seen or knew about this family crest, and his family crest, the Ivy League with a white background, had a long history, had a lot of negative fame, and was heavily slandered by gossip, which also caused him and his team to be treated unfairly. Parrett's snoring echoed through the cavern, and judging by Milo's senses, it was time to fall asleep at night, but he couldn't sleep, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The snow dog stabilized his injuries under the care of the night sparrow, and a new scar was added to his face, which could be regarded as a scrape compared to the previous ones. Nightfinch hadn't been hurt too much in the battle, and after settling her husband, she checked on the sleeping Parrett and the sleeping Milo to make sure that the injuries were taken care of, and she sat down on a rock to rest.

The wind chimes extinguished the two torches in the cave, sat down with their backs to the four people, took out a book and read it, the cave fell silent, and the sound of the wind chimes turning the book could be heard occasionally. After a while, Nightfinch came to the wind chime and sat down, she still had a lot of questions to ask, and the wind chime smiled and said that her voice should be softer.

"What are you seeing?" Nightfinch notices the book in Wind Chime's hand.

"The Saknusem Manuscript, a must-have for magicians."

"Yes, I know that, but you're weird." Nightfinch said as she took out her copy of the Saknusem Manuscript from her bosom, "You see, your one is thicker, and the size of the two books is the same. ”

"Well, that's right. Because someone has cut down a lot of the original version of the Saknusem Manuscript, and it becomes the one in your hand. The current magicians are holding all the cuts. Wind Chime replied, handing the book to Nightsparrow to read.

Nightsparrow flipped through the book and asked, "Why cut it?" How long ago was this? She was surprised to find that the "Saknusem Manuscript" of the wind chime was marked "1270", and she pointed to the year and looked at the wind chime in amazement. The wind chime remained silent, and she was always very calm, saying, "The deletion is for better popularity, so that the general public can also use simple magic." If the content of this book is too complicated, I think everyone will not be able to read it. And deleting those contents, people are not particularly interested. My manuscript, from 1270, accidentally came into my possession, and has probably been abridged ever since. ”

"How old are you? Will you be able to use time-controlling magic? ”

"I was unintentionally affected by the magic of time to become this kind of slow-aging appearance, and I don't want to do this either." Wind Chime explained, not giving her exact age, "You wondered why I could cast teleportation magic alone, because the uncut Saknusham Manuscript records the vocabulary that can use 'fusion magic', and one person can complete multiple combinations of magic, and now you have to have several people at the same time to achieve the effect of 'fusion magic'." ”

Nightfinch seemed to understand, and she didn't ask any more questions, and returned the book to the wind chimes. She knew that it was impossible for her magic skills to comprehend the "fusion magic" that Wind Chime was talking about, and she couldn't do it herself, let alone decipher the uncut manuscripts.

The above conversation was overheard by Milo, who knew that the true age of the wind chimes could not be what it looked like, and since the book may have been passed into her possession later, it is impossible to tell if the wind chimes are from before 1270. What is certain is that the wind chimes are extremely powerful magicians, and it is by no means Count Lee's hearsay that one person can withstand more than a thousand people. He began to feel optimistic about the relief of Fengxing Town, and he didn't need to rush back, so he slept steadily.

But none of them knew - something had really happened to Windwalk.
