Chapter 55: The Age of Sin

Right next to him, there were two pairs of eyes staring at the meat on the grill, and greedily sniffing the aroma in the air, looking at the impatient posture, it was almost like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

"Hey Jiawen, it's almost ready, I'm almost hungry with my chest against my back. It seems that the attraction of food is really big enough, and Ta Ting insisted on saying a whole sentence smoothly.

"Soon, soon, some more salt to enhance the taste. On the side, Jiawen was engrossed in flipping the barbecue grill and replied casually.

The small fish has been roasted golden brown on both sides, and the air exudes an attractive fragrance, and the fat that was originally contained in the deepest part of the body is slowly baked, and the golden liquid that reflects the bright light is circulating on the surface of the body, and it looks like the index finger is moving.

Then, the white crystalline particles fluttered on it, and the shapes and flavors blended together in an instant, and it was beautiful.

"Slippery. The freshly roasted river was inhaled by a big mouth, and when he turned his gaze, he saw that Ta Ting was chewing it with his eyes closed, savoring the taste.

Jiawen on the side also secretly smacked his tongue, this donkey really has an iron mouth, just like a crusher, no one refuses, whether it is cold or hot, sharp or round, anyway, there is nothing he can't eat.

"Why, you've just been roasted, and you like to eat barbecue so much, I remember you shouldn't just eat grass?"

"I only said I was a centaur, I didn't say I was a horse. Taunt Ting looked at him with a rare and strange look.

"Hehe, I can't tell the difference between you. Jiawen casually drew a cartoon image of a horse with a tree branch on the ground, and motioned for Ta Ting to step forward and compare.

"Remember, my brother will be able to fly in the future. Tamichi's face was inscrutable, and he said something that seemed a little out of tune to Jiawen.

"Fly you big-headed ghost, hurry up and help with the work. Jiawen made this stupid donkey recognize reality again.

Ta Ting put his hands on the side with tears in his eyes, deeply lamenting the cruelty and loss of conscience of the slave owner, I also have the right to donkey, what should I do if I fight like this again, and become stupid.

Jiawen glanced at Jiawen's grievances, turned around and stared at his fingers carefully, the skin is tender and tender, there is nothing special, there are no sharp edges and corners, there is no unbearable heaviness, but it is this ordinary and even a little delicate fist that makes waves in the heart of the rough donkey outside.

Yes, it turns out that I can also have friends, Ta Ting's eyes are clear and quietly looking at everything that happens here and what his body has experienced, and his heart unconsciously rises a little warm.

"Hey, what's the fuss. Jiawen raised his hand and followed Ta Ting's gaze for a few moments, which brought him to reality.

"Ah, oh. Tread Ting seemed to be a little sluggish, and a silly smile appeared on his face.

"Look at your stupidity, I'll have to make up for it in the future. Jiawen was furious by the strange eyes of Ta Ting, choked a sentence and quickly turned away.

Subsequently, they were silent for a while, but the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, as if they were twin brothers who had been inseparable for many years.

......

The delicious grilled fish had been processed and packed into simple plates that had already been folded with leaves, and Lucy and the others had not yet returned, so they first placed them on the stones by the fire to maintain the temperature, after all, even the most delicious food needs temperature to bring out the hidden flavor in it, without which the whole piece of meat will lose its soul.

Jiawen and Ta Ting's stomachs on the side were already round at this time, like small watermelons, they could only blame them for not eating a decent meal for a few days, and it was reasonable for them to have a good appetite.

"By the way, how did you get caught by this group of mercenaries, with your agitated energy, you shouldn't be. During the small talk, Jiawen brought the topic to the question of why Ta Ting was caught, and used a fish bone that he had taken off casually as a toothpick.

"This, didn't I already say it just now, sneak attack, they caught me while they were unprepared," in front of him, stepping on the thunder face without red heart and not beating, as if this lie was not told by him.

"Believe you're really the hell. Jiawen on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes, with a very skeptical expression.

"Let's be honest, what the hell is going on. He was also very curious about how the very clever Treading Thunder was arrested by the mercenary group.

"Actually, it seems to be a bit of an accident. "I stepped on the thunder, and when I saw that I really couldn't hide from it, I was going to tell the truth.

"Oh, speak up and listen. When Jiawen heard this, he was very energetic, and sat up straight, ready to listen carefully to what happened.

"Didn't I get hungry that day, and I wanted to find something to eat, so I remember to explain it to Lucy before I left. ”

"Well, it seems like that's the case. A moment back to Gawen recalls the details of what happened that day.

"That day I was going to go west, the road is not unfamiliar, it is the place where we passed, I remember that there is a large area of fruit forest, because I run fast alone, so it is not too far for me, I saw the direction and rushed over non-stop. Ta Ting also came to his senses at this time, and began to concentrate on what happened.

"Just as I was about to reach my destination, I inadvertently spotted the trail of the group of mercenaries, and in a state of curiosity and leakage, I was following their butts to see what was going on. ”

"At that time, I followed them all the way to the Baihua River where we happened to pass before, where the fire poison bees gathered in colonies, and then ......"

Without a pause, Ta Ting continued to speak, but what he said afterwards surprised Jiawen a little.

At that time, Ta Ting followed the buttocks of the group of mercenaries, and touched back to the plain area called Baihua River, which they had passed before, with a large area of flat land.

It turned out that the purpose of the mercenaries was to harvest the abundant fire poison bee honey in those hives, so they worked so hard.

As for their hand to get honey, it also opened Jiawen's eyes and gave him a new understanding of magic. It turned out that the middle-aged man in the mercenary team who wore mage robes, rosacea and a face full of zob lines was a first-order 3C level like Jiawen's rare spiritual magician.

It was with him that this so-called "hunting feast" was able to easily harvest so much fire bee honey without using a single soldier.

Originally, under certain conditions, the spiritual mage could play a role in controlling other people's bodies for a short time, but it may be because the individual's personality desire is too strong, or after all, it is not his own body that cannot be compatible, the mind is insufficient, and other reasons, so that the kind of puppet-like manipulation in people's fantasies cannot be easily realized.

But under the condition that it is impossible to directly manipulate the minds of others in detail, a new discipline called illusion has emerged.

Illusion is a unique method of mental attack, through its own more powerful mental power than other individuals, and some very secret hand breaks, so that the other party falls into a state of mental trance and produces all kinds of hallucinations in consciousness.

After ordinary people are tricked, their spirits will immediately fall into the illusion, and they can't easily get out of it on their own, and in serious cases, they can even be trapped alive and die in place, but the caster will not let the tricked person simply die after achieving the goal, but use some deceptive mental induction methods to further control the action ability of the recruiter, so as to achieve the real unknown purpose behind it.

In this way, this kind of mind control type that seems to be only slightly weaker than the marionette, and the illusion magic is born. On the other hand, don't underestimate this magic just because it's inferior to marionettes.

You know, this kind of magic was once accepted by most people and practiced because of its mysterious concealment, unique lethality, and convenient control.

But the desire for control of human beings is very strong, this is your indelible nature no matter what, when you first gain this so-called power, it may not be very obvious, but once it is a long time, the deepest sins of human nature will be induced by this demonic power.

At first, it may be a small fight, casually controlling a few ordinary people, in order to satisfy their little perverted desires, but if you gradually taste the "sweetness" of it, the desire will become deeper and bigger, and slowly and gradually devour yourself.

Poor people, knights, rich merchants, nobles, princesses, princes, all the way to the top emperor of power, from beginning to end, from small to large, from weak to strong, the gradual change of horror from shallow to deep is even more chilling than the destruction of the mind of the black magic.

You know, why are the once glorious Five Kingdoms only the current Bright Empire left? If nothing else, the origin is just a simple human heart.

But it is this small human heart that can easily overturn the fate of an empire overnight, and it is extremely scary to think about it!

In the third era of the Age of Light, the serious effects of illusion magic finally broke out, and at that time, almost everyone was controlled by magicians who refined illusions, and the entire human national costume was artificially created into a puppet world without humanity.

Perhaps it is because of the blood of the gods, or perhaps it is the favor of the so-called true gods, the Empire of Light, which is adrift in the wind and rain, has spent a hundred years of darkness in the cracks of history, known as the era of sin.

The human heart is sinful, but at the same time it is also illusory, when a bunch of illusory things are combined, it can only be like a bubble like a mirror, so when the bloodlines of the four countries cannot resist this great change, their fate is already doomed, and they will inevitably disappear in the long river of history after all.
