Chapter 198: An Interesting Story Next
readx;
"Cat's Eye" is full of emotion when he tells the story, although he is blind, but he can tell a story very beautifully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć infoActually, he has told this story in many places a long time ago, because most people in the world know very little about the old mage, and even many people don't know that the old mage has a son, and the three apprentices he took in later were all to deal with this son who was fascinated by the power of magic.
"Cat's Eye" likes to tell this story in front of children, those children will not resist this kind of seemingly vicissitudes of life, this kind of man to the children feel mysterious and knowledgeable, so whenever "Cat's Eye" tells children stories about magic in the alleys, those children will listen very carefully to "Cat's Eye" to tell about the past, and no one has ever asked "Cat's Eye" why he knows these things.
It's a pity that I met someone like Ayana who is not easy to make waves on his face and heart. AYANA is even colder than Field, and this coldness comes from the heart, and perhaps the only things that can excite Ayana are Russell, Field, and the enemies who killed her family.
"And then?" asked Ayana, who had already put her things away, as she stood at the door of the shed and watched the heavy rain outside, turning her back to the "cat's eye".
"Maoyan" didn't expect the other party to ask, so he immediately said: "Do you want to hear the story of those three apprentices or the story of the old mage's son... Or maybe I can tell you some interesting stories of magic, if you think they can be used as a reward for helping you. ā
"Well, let's listen to the story of those three apprentices. ā
After the old mage's death, the three disciples made up their minds to work together to eradicate the old mage's son, but the old mage's son was nowhere to be found, and the three disciples had to focus on other places first. They chose to collect the other wandering magic books first, and at the same time regarded life weapons and enchanted knowledge as another form of magic, and planned to destroy them as well. However, they were surprised that the power of some life weapons was much higher than the magic they had mastered at that time, and they had to pay attention to those life weapons, and some even wanted to use the power of life weapons to deal with other magicians and life weapons. ā
Ayana took out some rabbit meat and chewed it gently, "How did you know about these things?"
Whenever "Cat's Eye" encounters someone asking this question, he will only smile slightly and not answer. But just now, he had already confessed to the girl hunter in front of him that he was a magician, so he didn't hide it from the other party, and told Ayana that he was one of the magic apprentices.
"That sounds reasonable," Ayana remembered the broken parchment scrolls, "You're in the mountains today to deal with the Magic Dryads?"
Cat's Eye shook her head, but quickly smiled and nodded.
"What about the old mage's son? Do you know his whereabouts now?"
"He's still alive, I can feel it, and he should be about to return to a state where he can use magic at will," "Cat's Eye" didn't have the impression of the old mage's son in his mind, he had never seen each other, he could only feel it with his anti-magical perception, "More than twenty years is enough time for him to become a terrible opponent..."
ā... Oh?" Ayana licked the grease off her fingers, "You said you were an old mage's apprentice, so can you show me your magic?" ā
Let's kill her, right?--"Cat's Eye" suddenly had this idea after hearing the other party's words. There are many people who have heard stories about magic, but few of the people who have seen him cast spells have survived. Even if the other party is a girl who is not interested in anything, even if the other party saves herself, but...
Just when "Cat's Eye" hesitated, he suddenly found that his magic power had not recovered a bit!
In the duel with the healing magic master, "Cat's Eye" spent all his magic power to exert the anti-magic to the extreme, defeating the opponent by a narrow margin. Now his body is "empty", and he is just a blind person without any magic. A drop of sweat came out of the forehead of the "cat's eye".
"Cat's Eye" tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart, and the magician heir who had experienced the wind and waves did not lose his cool, and he guessed that this might be a special situation that he had never encountered before - the anti-magic he used was to absorb all the magic of the other party, but at that time, the magic of the other party was extremely powerful and deep... He decided to eat something first, then take a good rest and put other things aside for a while.
Ayana saw that the expression of "Cat's Eye" changed, "After saying so much, it turns out that it is all a lie." She picked up some raincoats made of leaves and planned to go out.
"I'm going to take a break. "Cat's Eye" heard the footsteps of the other party walking out, he didn't think much of it, and then rolled over and fell asleep, while his folded cat walked to the side of the door of the shed and took care of the wind for him.
"Cat's Eye" dreamed of the old mage in his dream, and the old mage reached out and touched the hair of "Cat's Eye". When he was accepted as a magic apprentice, "Cat's Eye" Seamos was just a teenager. He lost his teacher after studying with the old mage for several years, and later had to study it himself when he encountered problems with magic. "Cat's Eye" seems to hear the old mage's advice again in a dream, and the old mage deliberately distracts Golia and Bennicott on his deathbed.
The old mage tells Cat's Eye that he hopes Cat's Eye will be his true heir, as the old mage has sensed that both Bennicott and Goliath are struggling to carry out their mission of burying the magic they have learned with the magic they have learned, which is equivalent to killing themselves with their own swords.
He handed over an ancient book of anti-magic magic to Cat's Eye, telling him that once this knowledge was mastered by a magician, any magician would be suppressed by it. However, mastering the magic of ancient books comes at a cost, as evidenced by the fact that the "cat's eye" later became blind, as evidenced by the fact that one of its eyes was covered in a bottomless black.
The old mage also showed a very remorseful expression when he disappeared in the "cat's eye" dream, and he said "I'm sorry" to the "cat's eye", if the mainland is caught in strife because of his son but can't extricate himself, it is all because he taught his son everything he has learned all his life, and it was his doting on his son that led to the birth of the tragedy.
In the dream, "Cat's Eye" also saw his own death, and he could feel that his life was coming to an end.
When Cat's Eye woke up, he found that he was drenched in sweat. There was no one in the shed, and the rain was still falling outside, as if it was when I slept. "Cat's Eye" felt that the magic on his body had not recovered at all, he had never encountered such a situation, and he seemed a little overwhelmed, he reached out and touched the things on his body, nothing was missing.
Cat's Eye fell asleep again, and when he woke up, the rain had stopped outside, and the morning birdsong had reached his ears, and the gray-white cat with folded ears was sleeping beside him.
"Are you awake?mage," Ayana put some water and some wild fruits next to Cat's Eye, "how are you feeling today?"
"Cat's Eye" concentrates and feels the condition of his body. There are no external injuries on his body, but the lost magic power has not been recovered at all!" Cat's Eye suppressed the disappointment in his heart and replied in a low voice: "I'm fine, I can leave today." ā
"Didn't you say you were going to show me magic?" Ayana looked silently at Cat's Eye's chest, and behind those coats lay tattered parchment scrolls.
"Iā" Cat's Eye hesitated, "Actually, I'm lying, I'm not a magician at all, it's all used to scare children." ā
Ayana sighed softly, and she suddenly took out a bird-catching net from behind her, and pounced directly on the folded ear cat with the net! The gray-white folded ear cat just wanted to dodge to the side, but the experienced Ayana caught the net, and the "cat's eye" was covered by another large net, but he did not make any resistance.
"If you're really a magician, prove it to me," Ayana looked at the motionless "cat's eyes" while the folded-eared cat frantically tore at the resilient net, "If not, I might have taken you away, because something suspicious about you." ā
"Cat's Eye" reached out to soothe his cat through the net, and he replied lightly, "Where are you going to take me?"
Ayana didn't take the sheepskin scroll from Cat's Eye, she just looked outside. The rain-washed mountains and forests have a special smell that makes AYANA feel reassured.
"I'm a mercenary, and I'll bring you to my regimental commander. ā
"Cat's Eye" nodded slightly, he was just a waste man who had lost all his magic power, and it was impossible for him to escape from the palm of the other party's hand - no, from the beginning when he was discovered by this girl hunter, he had already fallen into the palm of the other party's hand, and the other party was a ruthless hunter. And when the other party sees those worn-out parchment scrolls, his fate is decided - the other party never needs to return the favor of saving his life, because he has always been regarded by the other party as a prey for harvest, and the previous conversation is just to confirm whether the prey is still in danger.
When Cat's Eye later recalls this, he thinks that even if he regains his magic powers, he will not kill the other party. Because there are only a handful of people who have saved him, "Cat's Eye" has no revenge, and the same is true for this ruthless girl hunter.
Could it be providence? Cat's Eye sat in the corner of the shed, and Ayana claimed to leave the place tomorrow and take him with her. At this time, "Cat's Eye" did not feel angry, and he began to think about Golia's original suggestion, maybe the path he chose was wrong from the beginning.
