Looking at the two behemoths in front of him, Hugh, Iman, and Morin were very familiar, and there was even a hint of intimacy.

Once, when he was a wizard apprentice in the Dark Forest, he would encounter them when he entered and exited the Dark Forest, Iman was very hideous-looking, and Hugh still spoke with a hint of cheap banter.

"Oh roar, Iman, look at this wizard, he is motionless, is he stupid by the great Lord Hugh?" Hugh flickered his wings and flew over, the huge lizard's head hanging down.

Iman didn't speak, and after glaring at Morin with murderous aura, it raised its steel fork and aimed it at Morin, saying, "Wizard, no matter where you come from, now that you have entered the territory of the Dark Forest, honestly, obediently follow us!"

"Iman, don't be so grumpy. ”

Hugh blinked his eyes, with a hint of a chuckle in his voice, and said, "Strange wizard, listen, come with us honestly, otherwise, the great Lord Hugh will eat you in one bite!"

Morin looked at Hugh and Iman and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Actually, I'm a wizard apprentice in the Dark Forest. Morin said softly, "Of course, that was a thing of the past. ”

Morin's body moved slightly, turning into countless dark energy particles, disappearing in the air, and when his figure reappeared, it was already standing on Iman's back.

"Go to the Dark Forest. Maureen spoke.

The thought in his heart moved slightly, and immediately, a secret and huge momentum pressed towards Hugh and Iman.

Hula.

Hugh and Iman flapped their wings hard to keep themselves from falling.

Feeling the momentum coming from Morin's body, Hugh and Iman were almost frightened and fainted.

"II...... Second-level wizard ......" Hugh stammered, and Iman didn't speak, it grunted and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"Go to the Dark Forest. Maureen said again with some amusement.

"Okay Wizard-sama! No problem, Wizard-sama!"

Hugh turned his head, and the vicious-looking face tried to force a flattering smile, but it made Hugh look particularly funny.

A huge figure flew through the air, and Hugh and Iman were flying into the distance.

On the way, Hugh saw Iman, who was honest and did not dare to move, and grinned several times, but after the corner of his eye swept to Morin, he honestly held back.

It wasn't long before Merlin appeared outside the Dark Forest.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar building in front of him, Mo Lin felt quite emotional.

"Master Wizard, this is the Dark Forest, do you want to ......" Hugh asked cautiously, looking at Merlin.

"I'm just going to exchange something. ”

Merlin raised his eyes.

On Mo Lin's body, a powerful momentum suddenly rose, like an invisible storm rolling up in the air, and pressed towards the front frantically.

Boom, there was a violent sound in the air, forming a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye.

Hugh and Iman were frightened.

"Who!"

"What a guts!"

"Who dares to trespass in the Dark Forest!"

There was a burst of shouting from inside, and immediately, the energy particles in the air kept vibrating, the figures flickered, and one after another figures appeared in mid-air, they were all wizards of the dark forest.

"Are you trying to trespass on our dark forest, wizard, whoever you are, you will have to pay for what you have done, and we will ...... you" Among these wizards, the leader was a liquefied wizard, he just wanted to say something, but the next moment, his face suddenly changed drastically.

This breath ......

Second-level wizard, this is a second-level wizard!

The liquefied wizard at the head shouted frantically in his heart, feeling extremely shocked.

"I'll trade something with you, will you promise?" Morin looked silently at the liquefied wizard at the head.

"Of course, of course, of course, of course. ”

The liquefied wizard nodded hurriedly.

Faced with a powerful second-level wizard, he simply didn't have the courage to refuse, nor did he have any qualifications to refuse.

The other wizards reacted and said a lot of compliments.

"That's good. Maureen nodded.

He looked at the liquefied wizard and the other wizards at the head, and couldn't help but sigh a little, the former wizard was in charge of August, the strength of the dark forest was very strong, there were many liquefied wizards, and there were several solidified wizards, where is it like now, even the wizard in charge is just a liquefied wizard.

The Dark Forest has fallen into complete decay.

Faced with the arrival of a second-level wizard, the entire people of the Dark Forest showed unusual nervousness.

Looking at Mo Lin, who looked indifferent in the respectful eyes of many wizards, one of the wizard apprentices suddenly felt that Mo Lin was very familiar, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face turned to the side, and he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"It's you, it's you, Morin, Olsen!"

The wizard apprentice's face was full of disbelief.

Faced with the slightly confused design of many wizards, the wizard apprentice hurriedly spoke, "Morin, Olsen is our wizard apprentice in the Dark Forest, I have seen him in the Dark Forest, but, how can he ......?" the wizard apprentice said, meeting Morin's interesting gaze, and slowly closed his mouth.

Outwardly, he looked like he was about forty years old, a middle-aged man, a wizard's apprentice, while Maureen was very young, still a young man in his twenties.

Moreover, Mo Lin's strength has long exceeded his imagination, after all, Mo Lin is a legendary second-level wizard.

"Maureen?"

"I said how do I feel a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, it turns out to be him......"

"Yes, Wizard Morin...... Venerable Wizard Morin was once a disciple of Wizard Adrian, and is a well-known apothecary genius?"

The wizard boy of the dark forest looked at Merlin carefully, and suddenly there was a burst of exclamations, obviously, although time had passed, the wizards still had an impression of Morin.

Mo Lin's gaze slowly swept over the many wizards present, he scanned and found many familiar faces among these wizards, as a second-level wizard, Mo Lin had a strong memory, he could easily identify those wizards, and call out the names of those wizards.

It's just that everything has changed, these wizards are still the same as these wizards, but he is not the little wizard apprentice he used to be.

"You, it turns out that you have spent time in the Dark Forest......" The Liquefied Wizard, who is now in charge of the Dark Forest, opened his mouth, and his voice sounded inexplicable.

After all, the person in front of him is a second-level wizard.

Merlin glanced at the liquefied wizard, nothing more, and continued to walk forward.

"I want all the precious sorcery knowledge and all the sorcery materials in the Dark Forest. Morin's voice echoed through the hall as he said, "Of course, in exchange for the trade, I will give something of equal value in exchange." ”

"Take your pick. ”

Morin quietly watched the many wizards of the dark forest.

The wizards didn't hesitate much, they agreed to trade, they weren't stupid, after all, a second-level wizard was not something that the Dark Forest could provoke at all.

The deal was soon completed, and Merlin obtained wizarding knowledge and sorcery materials, but Morin did not leave, and took up residence in the Dark Forest.

The scenes in the dark forest were very familiar to him, and he wanted to see more.

George once came to Morin to show kindness to Morin on behalf of the wizarding family behind him, and Morin did not refuse and accepted the gift from the wizarding family.

Maureen appears in the restaurant in the Dark Forest, where he is alone, eating veal loin and lamb meatball soup, a food he once enjoyed.

"Richard, Babulu, they're here again. A sigh rang out on the dining table in the curtain compartment, "This time, they want nineteen magic stones." ”

"Damn, Babu, a jackal who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, is obviously fifteen magic stones, why does he want nineteen magic stones!"

"Richard, don't you ......"

"Damn it!"

There was a loud bang, a fist slamming down on the seat, and at the same time, a man's heavy pant sounded.

"Richard, don't be impulsive, think of me, think of Gretel. The woman's anxious voice rang out.

"Lucy, I know, I know, if it weren't for you and Gretel, I would have fought with Babura, the jackal, and I would have endured it again and again. ”

Richard's gasps kept ringing, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Lucy, dear, don't worry, I'll let those who work hard to earn magic stones, your injuries, and Gretel's witchcraft education fees, I will earn it, don't worry, don't worry......"

"Richard ......"

Lucy's voice was a little bitter.

As if she had thought of something, she said, "Richard, it would be nice if you were a pharmacist like Morin, in that case, you ......"

"Maureen, he's been gone for a long time. Richard looked stunned, some reminiscing, some sighing.

Suddenly, Li looked outside the curtain with an incredible look on his face.

Merlin lifted the curtain and looked at it quietly.

"Long time no see. Morin put down the curtain, walked over slowly, and said, "Lucy, Richard." ”

"Maureen!"

"Maureen!"

Both Richard and Lucy let out an exclamation.

"Maureen, why are you ......" Richard's expression trembled, the look on his face was very excited, and he looked a little unable to help himself.

"I'm back, back to the Dark Forest. ”

A smile appeared on Maureen's face.

"Maureen!"

Richard stood up, stepped forward and hugged Morin hard.

His eyes filled with tears.

In front of Maureen, Richard was very open, and he kept talking about the changes in his life in the dark forest, and the suffering he suffered on the wizard's path.

"Morin, do you know, once upon a time, when I was detected by that wizard apprentice, Slater, I was really happy, I was really happy, because from now on, I am a wizard!"

"Haha, really, I'm so happy, I still remember the name of that wizard's apprentice. ”

Richard drank too much, his face flushed, and his mouth kept spitting out a thick smell of wine, and said: "Later, I also met Lucy, I like her so much, it just so happens that she likes me too, so it's really good, it's really good." ”

"yes Richard, it's all good, it's all good. ”

Morin said in a low voice.

"Yes, everything is fine, at that time, although Lucy and I were not very qualified, but I was still very happy, and at the same time I was full of confidence in the wizarding path, thinking that I felt that everything was okay, and everything would not be particularly difficult. Richard's hair was scattered, he opened his mouth, burped, and said, "As long as everything is attentive, only everything is fine." ”

"But I was wrong. ”

"I was wrong, Maureen. ”

"The path of wizards is really too difficult, geniuses are always geniuses, they are destined to be high, and we, we are just ordinary wizard apprentices with mediocre qualifications, we can only move forward on the path of wizards. ”

"The learning and accumulation of witchcraft knowledge, magic stones, meditation methods, materials needed for witchcraft experiments, etc., etc., many things, we are overwhelmed. Richard burped a long wine and said, "Lucy was injured on a field expedition and almost died, although she survived in the end, but her body was left with sequelae, and she had to be treated with medication every month." ”

"By the way, we still have Gretel, our son, haha, Morin, you know what, that's my son, my son, hey, that little guy's wit......"

"Gretel is always mischievous and broke my lab equipment, but I never blame him, Lucy has said me many times, but I still don't blame him, Gretel, my little one......"

"In the blink of an eye, it's time for the little guy to be educated in witchcraft, but this needs magic stones, magic stones......"

"Lucy needs magic stones, Gretel needs magic stones, and I need magic stones......"

Richard kept talking, he took a deep breath, his face was very emotional, there was also a taste of happiness, but there was also a deep pain.

"Morin, Morin, you know, I've been putting up with the usury exploitation of that jackal of Babura, all for Lucy and Gretel, otherwise, I would have fought with that bastard, but no, no. ”

"I have something I want to hold on to, something I want to protect. ”

"Lucy ......"

"Gretel ......"

"For them, I have to work hard to earn magic stones, day and night, in the deep forest, in the swamp, in the area infested by witchcraft creatures, I am here, all here, in order to complete the task, for the magic stone, I can only do it seriously. ”

"Richard. Lucy looked at Richard and wanted to say something.

But then, she looked at the rare happiness on Richard's face, and did not speak again.

She looked at Richard and smiled softly.

Tears flowed down her face.

"It's just that I'm also wondering why this is happening, why is it like this. Richard's voice was loud, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, and he said, "I'm willing to do anything for Lucy and Richard, but ...... I've had a hard time. ”

"Sometimes, I wonder if it's good or bad for me that we were taken away by Slater and embarked on the wizarding path. ”

"If Slater hadn't come over, I would have inherited my father's title, become Duke of Scran, and live a carefree life instead of what I am now. ”

"Now I have a goal to strive for, but I am also very miserable...... Lucy was comforting me and trying to earn as many magic stones as she could...... Gretel, the little guy is very sensible, not compared to other wizard children, I know he really wants some witchcraft toys, but he never speaks, but saves magic stones, he is really a good boy...... Gretel...... Gretel ......"

"I can't give up their ......"

"So, I thought, maybe the best thing for me is to meet Lucy, get out of the wizarding seed team, and go back to Scran, and live a prosperous life. ”

Richard's body kept shaking, put his hand on Morin's shoulder, and said, "Heh......"

He opened his eyes and looked at Maureen.

"Actually, Morin, you know, from the moment he boarded the carriage, everything changed. ”

"Whether it's you, me, Aaron, or Elala, good or bad, anyway...... Everything has changed. ”

"Morin...... I...... Morin, maybe I shouldn't have come to the Dark Forest in the first place. ”

On Richard's face, big tears kept rolling down.

"Richard, go back. Maureen looked at Richard, his eyes clear, and said, "Go back to Scran, back to where it all began." ”

"Richard, you still have Scran. ”

Morin's voice was soft.

Richard's body shuddered, and he laughed and cried.

"Scran...... Skrand, Morin, I've been away from Scran for too long. ”

"The last time my father wrote to me, he told me that he was seriously ill and that he would not last long...... Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, my father was also old. ”

Richard's voice trembled a little, and he said, "Scran...... It's time for me to go back...... It's time to go back. ”

"Gretel...... The little guy also has wizarding talents, but only low-level qualifications, forget it, let him give up the wizarding path and return to Scran with me. ”

"The wizard's path is really too hard......"

"It's good to be a safe and stable aristocratic duke, or not. ”

Li looked at Maureen, then he reached out and hugged Maureen hard again.

His face was full of tears.

"I've been away from Scran for too long......"

"I've gone too far......"

"Now I'm going back. ”

"Goodbye...... Goodbye Maureen......"

"Goodbye. ”
