As soon as Ayana took out the tree trunk with the worn-out parchment scrolls in her hands, the gray-white folded cat squatted on the man's body, flicking its tail and looking at Ayana warily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"These are your master's things, aren't they?" Ayana and the cat looked at each other, and she walked over to the man's side and gently placed the parchment scrolls on the man's body—she had briefly looked at them just now, most of them were mutilated and blank, except for the relatively intact parchment scroll with the words "Requiem" written in ancient script. When Ayana lived with Russell and Feo, Fei O had taught her some ancient scripts, which were similar to the current scripts, but there were some fonts that were very different from the current ones.

The Folded Ears Cat lowered its head and sniffed at the scrolls, then held them down with its paws, and looked at Ayana quietly. And Ayana ignored the man who passed out and left the mountain forest directly.

After returning to her makeshift shed, Ayana took out some roasted rabbit meat and wild fruits and put them on a piece of cloth, then brought a pot of water and returned to the forest. By the time she returned to the man and the folded cat, the folded cat was nowhere to be found, leaving only the man lying motionless on the ground.

Ayana then walked over to the man's side and briefly examined the man's body, and sure enough, as she guessed when she left, the man had no external injuries on his body, and the reason for his coma may be related to the collision of the brain.

Just as Ayana put down the food and water, the gray-white folded ear cat leaped up from behind her, stretched out its claws, and pounced directly on Ayana.

"Did I faint?" the man's voice suddenly came, and the dagger in Ayana's hand had already been slashed, colliding with the sharp claws of the folded cat. The gray-white folded cat jumped away with the dagger's blade, staring at Ayana in the distance.

"Who are you, and why are you in the trunk of that big tree?" Ayana took a few steps back so that both the man and the folded cat came into her view.

"My name is Simos, and I'm a blind man," Cat's Eye didn't open his eyes, he lay on the ground, reached out and pulled out a long rag from his waist, and tied his eyes first, "Did you save me?"

"You haven't answered my question yet, why are you in the trunk?" Ayana stared at the elderly folded ear cat, that cat was as agile as the legendary cat spirit, and the very aggressive action just now was definitely not something that ordinary cats could do, if she were an ordinary person, maybe she would be cut a bloody mark from the back by the cat.

"Cat's Eye" seemed to feel the dozen or so worn-out sheepskin scrolls on his body, and he fumbled for those sheepskin scrolls, slowly sorted them out, and then put them back in the cloth. He took a deep breath of air, the smell of rotting trees in the forest.

"You've seen what I've been doing, so you should guess who I am..."Cat's Eye sat up and tried to stand up, but the pain in his knee made it difficult for him to stand, and the folded cat walked over to its owner's side and barked in a low voice.

Ayana put the dagger away, "I don't know, I can't guess, I don't want to guess," she glanced at the food and water that was right next to the man, "There is food and water there, if you feel hungry, eat it, if you're okay, I'll leave." ”

"Cat's Eye" reached out and touched the kettle, and he heard Ayana's footsteps walking into the distance, "Please wait a minute," "Cat's Eye" immediately thought of the stranger he had met before, "If you can, please take me back to your hunting house, you are the hunter of this mountain, right?"

"Cat's Eye" had been thinking about it for a long time before saying this. When he killed the magician who hid in the Sunrise Plateau before, the magician's family witnessed the fierce battle between the two magicians, those ordinary people were so frightened that they hid in the house and didn't dare to move, and "Cat's Eye" didn't hesitate in the end, killing those who saw everything - he just wanted to continue to act in secret, just like in the past ten years, except for the folded ear cat around him, everyone else who saw him perform magic died, or was on his hunt list. One more person who knows his identity and whereabouts adds to the danger, including the huntress who saved him. But this time, the "cat's eye" felt the special temperament of Ayana, neither panicked nor afraid, calm and cold, like a beast without human feelings.

"Can you walk on your own? I'm not going to hold you. Ayana looked at the blind man, and her instincts told her that the man was not as fragile as he seemed.

"Yes. ”

Cat's Eye followed Ayana down the mountain, and he rarely began to feel hesitation, not knowing whether to kill the girl.

In the battle with the Healing Magic Master, he used up all the magic power in his body to destroy the other party, although he will not die due to the burial of the tree trunk, but if it suddenly rains, the "cat's eye" will still be flooded by the rain and suffocated to death due to lack of strength and magic power.

She saved me, she saved me, and if I could, I wouldn't kill innocents. "Cat's Eye" thought in his heart.

Ayana pushed open the door of the self-built wooden shed and pointed to the side of the shed, "If you want to sleep, lie in that corner, there is some hay there," Ayana looked at the sky, the dark clouds had already obscured the afternoon sun, and soon there would be a thunderstorm, "I'm here, let me know if you need anything." With that, he sat down on his bed of straw, and unloaded his dagger and bow.

"Cat's Eye" has a sensitive nose, and he can distinguish his location by smell, "You don't seem to be an ordinary hunter, ordinary hunters don't live in the mountains in winter, after all, it is difficult to find good hunting houses at this time." ”

"I'm just recuperating from my injuries," Ayana picked up a stick of wood and began to sharpen the arrows without iron arrows, "If you don't want to explain, don't say anything, and leave on your own when you feel like you're recovering." ”

"Cat's Eye" sat down on the hay, and his cat came out of his clothes and lay on his legs, "May I ask your name?"

"Ayana. ”

"Hmm... If it weren't for your help, Ayana, I might have died in that tree. ”

"It's nothing, no thanks. ”

"Cat's Eye" didn't want to owe anyone anything, he thought for a while and said, "I don't have anything of value on me, and you just asked me the reason for being in that tree, if I answer your question, I wonder if it can be regarded as a reward for saving your life?"

Ayana didn't raise her head, "I'm not strong, and there's no need to take the things you dug up in your heart, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Cat's Eye nodded, "Have you seen the Requiem Book?"

Ayana's sharpening hand paused for a second, she was indeed thinking about the origin of the parchment scrolls. Not an idiot, she had guessed a few points - the parchment scrolls had something to do with magic, the name "Requiem" had something to do with magic, and the blind man who could bring down a towering tree and hide in the trunk with a cat was obviously magic, even if it seemed incredible, but all the inexplicable signs pointed to magic.

"Cat's Eye" eyelids moved, he didn't expect his temptation to be able to test the results that the other party saw, "As you expected, I'm a magician, it's like... Like the Holy Maiden of the Theoguna Empire, Golia, she is well versed in the long-lost magic of the continent. "Cat's Eye" decided to try again, because until now, he was not sure whether he wanted to save the girl's life.

Ayana sharpened the wooden arrow as she listened to the other party's words, and this time she wasn't too surprised, "Oh, magician, and then?"

"Aren't you surprised?"

"It sounds surprising that a man who claims to be a magician has knocked down a towering tree and hid in its body, but it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Cat's Eye" can feel that the other party is not pretending to be calm, and the other party's coldness is something that "Cat's Eye" has never seen. At this time, "Cat's Eye" began to regret a little, he didn't practice the spiritual magic practiced by Ben Nicot, if he mastered the spiritual magic, maybe he would be able to know what the girl in front of him was thinking.

"Have you heard the story of the magician?"

"Magician? I heard that there is an old mage in the continent, he has three apprentices, I don't know why, after the old mage died, the other two mage heirs are also missing, only a female mage named Golia remains," Ayana recalled the battle of Doret, it was indeed magic, "This is what I heard, the story about magic. ”

"Cat's Eye" ran his hand along the folded cat's fur, and it had already begun to rain heavily, so Ayana's voice became quiet, "I also want to tell the story of the old mage. ”

"Whatever. ”

"The old mage is the last mage on the continent, and like his father and his grandfather, he has always insisted on a mission, which is to destroy everything related to magic on the continent, until all the magical power that fuels selfish desires is turned into history and the past. ”

"Sounds like an interesting mission. ”

"The old mage also has a son, and he wanted to put his mission and everything he learned into the hands of his son, but unfortunately the old mage's son was controlled by the selfish desires in his heart, and became the kind of person who must be eliminated in the old mage's mission. By the time the old mage found out all this, it was too late, and the old mage had to use all the magic he had learned all his life to suppress his son, who was extremely talented in magic and had a good understanding. In the end, the old mage's son lost the ability to use magic, and the old mage also had his lifespan cut due to excessive consumption. ”

"He still has three apprentices, doesn't he?"

"Those three apprentices were found after the old mage suppressed his son, and the old mage at that time had realized that his son's magic power could not be suppressed forever, and he needed to find a successor to the other party's son who had become a humanoid demon, and continue his mission. The three apprentices didn't study for long, and the old mage died, although they didn't get along with the old mage for a long time, but the three apprentices were very advanced, and each learned a kind of magic from the old mage, and they were in charge of themselves. ”

Ayana put aside the dozens of sharpened wooden arrows, thought for a moment and responded, "This story is interesting. ”

"It's a true story. ”
