Section 258 Balance
A lot seemed to have happened that night, and Ingres had always slept lightly, except for the occasional whispering and the sound of things being smashed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The next morning, Ingres got up sleepy-eyed. He wanted to sleep for a while, but he was forced to wake up by a scream. The voice came from next door, but it wasn't David's voice, it was the shadow servant Shota.
Angel yawned and got out of bed to see Toby standing at the head of the bed chirping, what seemed to be noise to the others. But only Angels knows that Toby is actually singing "Castle in the Sky", but the five notes are incomplete, resulting in no beauty.
Changing Toby into a fisherman's outfit, Angel smoothed its feathers: "This is a wizard's bazaar, and there are a lot of official wizards, so you'd better not run around, and the range of activity is best in this courtyard." ”
Toby nodded yes. Angel rubbed his eyelids and got up to wash.
Ten minutes later, Ingres stood in front of the door of the next room, and he felt that the illusion he had set up last night was still running, and the node had not been destroyed. The screams of the shadow servant Shota kept coming from inside.
"Ingres, good morning. At that moment, David walked out of the opposite door yawning.
"Good morning. After Ingres washed up, her spirits were a little better, but she could still see some tiredness on her face.
Davy heard Shadow Servant Shota's scream, and couldn't help but sigh, "It took me half an hour yesterday to come out of the illusion. If you hadn't told me early on that you had blinded your spatial perception, I wouldn't have figured out the direction, and finally closed my eyes and recalculated the room in my mind space, only to figure out that the door to the exit was actually above the head of the inverted world. ”
"Actually, you can blast a hole directly into the wall and you can come out, and the illusion I arranged is not big, and when it comes out, you can just fill the wall. Angels was noncommittal.
David was stunned: "Yes, why didn't I think of this yesterday, and I was stupid for most of the day." ”
Angel pointed to the shadow servant Shota who was still screaming and making trouble in the room, and said to David, "Have you asked him about his identity?"
At the mention of this stubble, David sighed: "I should have killed him yesterday, he deceived me." ”
"Tricking you?"
"Well, he's not a kid at all. When you listen to his voice, there is no child's voice at all. David said angrily: "He woke up in the middle of the night last night, and when he woke up, he began to cry wolf, I didn't go in, I asked him outside the door for some basic information, and the guy didn't say anything." Later, maybe I was tormented by your illusion for a long time, and then I cried and said some information. ”
While chatting, the two walked downstairs: "Don't look at him like a 7 or 8-year-old child, but in fact, he is 18 years old, and he has not grown up since he awakened his innate ability at the age of 7." He didn't mention his name, he didn't say why he ran to steal, he just said who he was looking for. ”
When David said this, he was even more angry: "I should have ...... if I had known that he was 18 years old."
The two went to the kitchen, Davy still cursing at the feeling of being cheated, and Angel began to prepare breakfast.
While cutting dry food and cakes, and pouring milk, Ingres's mind was racing.
David said that the shadow servant was ...... No, it should be the Shadow Servant Youth, who has not grown up since he awakened his innate ability at the age of 7.
This reminds Ingres of what Sanders once said: People with innate talents are sometimes not favored.
The lethargy of the breath and the stagnant growth of the shadow servant youth seem to confirm Sanders's words. Just like the default unspoken rule of the wizarding world - the principle of equivalent exchange, between a drink and a peck, there must be a balance. A certain law in the dark is faithfully executing the "way of balance", and what it gives you, it will inevitably take back something. And its style, like the Great Demon God of the Abyss, has a feeling of buying and selling. It's no wonder that Sanders lamented that people with innate talents are not necessarily truly favored.
If you are given a natural "false body" and then need to deprive you of all your physical growth in the future, are you willing?
Ingres is absolutely unwilling, and although your knowledge increases over time, physical growth is still a necessary process, and in the process of growing up, the body secretes hormones that allow you to evolve from within. The frequency of the wavelengths released by the brain and the frequency of reception will vary with physiological growth.
It's an evolutionary process.
In fact, in Angel's eyes, although the actual age of the shadow servant is 18 years old, because of growth stagnation, many internal things can't keep up, in fact, the psychological age may still be about 10 years old, crying and crying when he doesn't agree with him, which is obviously the heart of a child.
To be a Peter Pan who has not grown up all his life, in exchange for a natural talent. At least in Angel's eyes, it's a sure-fire deal. If you live in a peaceful world, Peter Pan's innocence and naivety can still be a reason for public love, but in the cannibalistic wizarding world, even if you have talent, you still can't resist the dark arrow of human nature, let alone live in the evil city of Night Demon.
After the two of them finished breakfast, no one mentioned the shadow servant young man again, they still had a lot of things to do, how could they have time to keep an eye on the others.
Angel plans to go out to buy materials, while David goes to the underground cargo hold to sort out some of the materials to take back to the Savage Cave.
The two separated, and Ingres took Toby with him before leaving, still letting it nest in a warm lined chest pocket, revealing only a small head, and secretly observing. Toby has no objection to this arrangement, it can fly whenever it wants, but the opportunity to be so close to its little master is rare. Filled with the warm embrace of the little master's breath, Toby himself enjoyed it.
As soon as Angels reached the door of the stronghold building painted with the tree logo, he saw Promi walking from the distant street with a lost face.
Last night, Promi didn't return all night, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he didn't get anything.
After Ingres stepped forward to ask, as he expected, Promi shook his head at him with a dejected face: "I have visited all the alchemy shops in the entire Twilight Well, and even participated in several private exchange meetings, but I still found nothing. There are some weapons for melee attacks on the undead, but there are none of them at a distance, even if they are melee attacks, the effect is not very good, and it is not in line with the trust of the old man at all. ”
Promi lamented, "It seems that the only way to see if there is anything I need at the twilight auction at night." I'm not hopeful, though. ”
"Don't worry, there will be. Ingres secretly thought that even if there was no twilight beat, he would portray the "Overture to Death".
"Then thank you for your good words. Promi smiled bitterly: "Are you going out to buy materials? Do you need me to accompany you, there are some alchemy shops that are very hidden, and someone must lead the way before you can find them." Moreover, you can also find a lot of cheap and rare materials. ”
Ingre's heart moved, but looking at Promi's slightly tired face, he waved his hand again: "What I'm going to buy today are low-grade materials like echo flowers, and I don't buy materials that are too rare." Otherwise, I spent too much money today, and I might not be able to get what I want at the auction in the evening. ”
"That's right, the magic crystal is better to keep for now, and after the evening twilight auction is over, I'll take you to recognize the way tomorrow. Promi smiled: "By the way, if you need a lot of materials, you can go to Daredevil City to rent mortal labor and let them help you move it." ”
"The deep well of twilight opens for mortals to come in?"
"Mortals may come in as long as there is a guide with them. When they get out, they forget everything that happened here, and at best they have a vague impression. Promesay said.
"The power of wizards is everywhere. With a little emotion, Angels said goodbye to Promie and walked into the deep streets.
Promi looked at Angel's back from afar, and did not turn away until he was gone.
......
In the central part of Daredevil, in a noble mansion near the royal palace.
The proud young man with his head held high walked in, and the old long-arm butler led him to the study.
"Why are you here? Have you found Wheybiton?" sat a middle-aged man from the Shadow Servant clan in the study, and if you looked closely, you would see that he looked very similar to the young man with his head held high.
"Father, I smelled Whitton in an alley, but he seems to have been taken away by some wizard. When he spoke to his father, the young man bowed his head.
"Wizard-sama, tell me more about it. The middle-aged shadow servant said.
The young man carefully said what he saw, and the middle-aged shadow servant pondered for a moment: "The frost ground you see should be the frost falling technique. You don't know the wizarding world, and that one isn't an official wizard, just an apprentice. There aren't too many official wizards......"
"But even if it's an apprentice, we can't afford to mess with it. The youth said.
The middle-aged shadow servant sighed: "We can't afford to mess with wizard apprentices, but we can't afford to mess with official wizards. Whitton has taken a fancy to Lord Red Lotus, and we must bring him to Lord Red Lotus, otherwise the anger of the official wizard will be enough to burn the city. ”
The lesser of two evils. The middle-aged shadow servant can only make this choice, which is the sorrow of mortals, and it is also the sorrow of their shadow servant clan.
"You continue to check the clues of Huibiton first, Lord Red Lotus will come over in half a month, and I will talk to Lord Red Lotus then." The middle-aged shadow servant had a bitter face, "I hope Lord Red Lotus can spare us for the sake of our ancestors in the past." ”
......
Ingres followed the path he had come from yesterday and returned to Daredevil.
According to Promi, basically as long as the money is paid, the people of Daredevil, young and old, will be willing to sell their labor. But Ingres looked around, and there was no one around, only on the other side of the wall, there was a boiling voice.
Ingres remembered that it seemed to be the Grand Theater of Meixiang.
