"Greerate, where are you running so late?"

At the cries of Guerrat, there was a hoarse voice in the hut, and in the faint candlelight, an old woman, sitting on a wooden chair that looked like it was about to collapse, heard him return, and was about to come forward with a wooden cane.

Greillat hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old woman for fear that she would fall, and explained: "I went out to walk the dog." ”

And the little dog, who jumped out of his arms after entering the house, barked a few times cooperatively, as if to prove that his owner was right.

The old woman didn't seem to care much about such a lame reason, and it had become a common practice between the two of them to ask the same question almost every day.

"I was walking my dog when I met a friend from out of town, and it was so late that I wanted to let him rest with us for the night." Greillard helped the old woman to sit down.

Only then did the old woman notice that Zhang Lin was looking at the old woman, her skin was wrinkled together like dry bark, and the wrinkles on her face like knives showed that the old man's life had passed a long time, and his eyes were a little cloudy and white, and his eyesight was obviously affected by the passage of time. The old woman coughed lightly a few times, and looked at Zhang Lin, who was a little vague in her eyes: "It turns out that there are still guests, Graylat, although our conditions are not good, don't neglect others." ”

Greillat nodded yes.

"By the way, Grerath, you can't be idle all day, I heard that you didn't go to the job of moving corpses for you a while ago? So when will you be able to save some money to start a family? Then the old woman counted down Grerath again.

"I ...... But I'm not fit for all that kind of physical work. "Compared to most of the villagers, Guerrillat is indeed too short.

"Then you shouldn't follow those friends around, I heard that a spell master from Onuma has recently come to the village, he seems to be preparing to recruit a few apprentices, you go and see if you can learn something from him." The old woman looked at Greillat lovingly, "You should think about your dead parents. ”

"But a sorcerer needs talent, and who knows if I'm a good fit?" Grerath was a little entangled, the sorcerer from Onuma could easily summon a large ball of fireball, he had always felt hot after seeing one hand before, but after knowing that many people came to ask for advice and were rejected by the old sorcerer, he didn't think much about it.

"Kid, are you listening?" Seeing that Guerrillat fell silent, Loretta coughed heavily as soon as she asked, and it seemed that her physical condition was also a little bad.

"I'm ...... I'm listening. The old woman's cough brought Greillat back to her senses, and she quickly took a blackened glass of water from the table beside her, sprinkled it with some powder, presumably from the church, and fed it to Loretta.

Zhang Lin stopped Graylat, the pitch-black water cup didn't know how many stains it was stained with, plus the medicine powder of unknown ingredients, the old woman would not get any better if she drank it.

"My body, I know, you don't have to waste the little money you saved up to buy me medicine." The old woman coughed again, "I just want you to do something serious...... It's really not suitable for you to move corpses, if you don't like to learn spells, then I'll help you find out if there is a suitable job, and the village will still sell me this old guy a little thin noodles......"

The corners of Grerat's eyes were a little moist, and then he suddenly looked at Zhang Lin for help: "By the way, my lord, you are also a big man, you must be able to teach me a lot of yourself, just like you said on the road...... If, if I need to be tested, please tell me what to do. ”

"This guest is a big man, Grerat, you should have said it earlier," Loretta tapped on the floor with her cane in both hands, and was about to get up and salute, "I'm sorry, I don't know. ”

Zhang Lin hurriedly supported the old man, preventing the other party from saluting him, and then glared at Graylat: "Old man, you are not in good health, don't do this." ”

Then, Zhang Lin thought about it and mobilized the power in the Holy Light Crystal, only to see a soft golden light emerge from his palm, and a circle of golden light wrapped the old woman.

At first, he was a little nervous at the sight of the golden flash, but soon he saw that Loretta's face gradually glowed, and the frown that had been furrowed from being unwell and worried about his life was also soothed, and he opened his mouth in surprise.

"I feel so much better!" The old woman said in surprise and looked at Zhang Lin gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

"You see, I said that this adult is very capable." Grerath exhaled, "Don't worry about me. ”

"Be respectful to adults!" Loretta's voice became a little stern, which reminded Greillat of the time when he had been taught a lesson for doing something wrong, "My lord, this kid is not sensible, I apologize for him first......"

"All right, Loretta, you need to rest well now," Graillat said, holding the old woman, "go to sleep, and I'm sure you'll look better tomorrow." ”

"Of course, I believe in this adult's ability, I haven't had it that easy in a long time."

Loretta continued to nag as she was dragged into the room by Graylart, while Zhang Lin sat down at the wooden table, thinking about the search for her own safety.

It wasn't long before Greillat returned, and sat down in a relaxed position on the wooden chair where the old woman had sit, and the chair let out an overwhelmed creak: "Whew...... That stupid woman, always likes to be nosy. ”

"But you still care about her."

Greilat was stunned for a moment, and held back a sentence for a long time, "Thank you, thank you sincerely, I'm really afraid that one day she will suddenly leave me." Then he jumped up again, "My lord, didn't you say you were a thief?" But just now, isn't that something that only the priesthood can do, it's a miracle! ”

"Don't worry, it's not my own ability, it's with the help of foreign objects." Zhang Lin shook his head and motioned to Graylart not to be so excited.

"It must be an extraordinary fetish." Greillard subconsciously thought that Zhang Lin had stolen it from somewhere.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let me ask you something, have you ever seen a young man with white hair, or a beast that can speak human words?"

According to King Arthur, Mage Merlin liked to change his appearance to interact with others, and often kept himself young or transformed into an animal. Relatively speaking, this Merlin mage may have traces to follow.

"I've never heard of that."

"Then forget it." Thinking that there is still a chaotic time and space in this world, Zhang Lin feels that maybe it is not so easy to find someone.
