Chapter 2 The Future

readx;? If you were to ask what the most chaotic city in the empire was, anyone who paid attention to current affairs would inevitably point to Rusbel, one of the northernmost hub cities between the East and West regions outside of the Northern Regions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A year ago, the Northern Regions fell due to the Demon Tide and turned into the City of Amethyst. Countless refugees poured into the small city from the south, and clashed with the criminals they had previously deported, almost to the point of unrest. Although due to the presence of Imperial troops and the departure of some of the fleeing population, it gradually returned to a semblance of calm. But the contradictions on the surface have sunk underwater, making the situation of the whole city more and more complicated, and the law and order situation has fallen to the lowest point in history.

For some ulterior reason, Elena chose to stay here a year ago instead of settling in the imperial capital with the Alvins. So, after our Mr. Harris used some ulterior means and paid a lot of money, a small pharmacy in this chaotic town became Ian's second home in this world.

So, in addition to changing cities, Ian seems to be back to his old life. However, in fact, he knew that he would never be able to return to the way he used to be, and there were now three more people in this small pharmacy that there were no originals.

Half a year ago, Esther finally recovered, the former mercenary tired of his old life and volunteered to stay and become a job (and thug) for the apothecary. And our Miss Camilla, who had lost all her dependence, was taken in by the kind-hearted (read as "ill-intentioned") Lady Elena as a waitress at the front desk. As for the third person, it is, of course, Mr. Harris, who wanders around all day long and messes around......

Oh!

I almost forgot to mention it.

The name of this pharmacy is "Glitter......

Since this is the name of the store chosen by Ms. Elena herself, Ian and Harris did not make any "inappropriate" remarks after the corners of their mouths twitched.

Right now, on this August afternoon, in the inner courtyard of the "sparkling" pharmacy, Mr. Harris is preparing all kinds of essentials for his upcoming trip. And seeing him stuff the trivial things into the already bloated backpack, Ian had already frowned slightly: "Why do you want to go with you?"

"Because you're too young to walk outside. Harris folded a blouse and shoved it into the bag, and then said to himself, "So, by your mother's plea, I have to keep a good watch on you, so that you don't suffer outside." ”

Of course, there is also the fear that if you accidentally fail to control yourself, which city will be demolished......

The words swirled around Harris's head, but he didn't say them after all.

"Are you treating me like a child?"

"Power doesn't solve everything, boy, what's more, you're far from being as mature as you think, and now you need someone to guide you in the right direction, and unfortunately, in the current situation, that person seems to be me. ”

This time he took a pair of trousers, and when he found that he couldn't fit into the package anyway, he pouted his lips with great reluctance, and found a second bag from the cupboard, and said in a thoughtful voice, "Well, it looks like we have to use this." ”

"Guide?" Ian sat down on the bed, looking out at the window sill with a confused expression. Since the girl's death, although he has adhered to the mission entrusted to him and searched for her traces, he has long lost the direction of his life.

"What can you teach me?" he began, his voice cold and indifferent.

"You've confined yourself to a small room, and I can teach you how to see what's outside of this room. Harris smiled smugly at this moment: "At least it won't let you wander around the Eastern Regions like a headless fly and end up as a penniless bum......"

This quote reminds me of what you were like a year ago. Ian unceremoniously debunked the other party's big words. In fact, he still can't forget the dignity of this man when he first appeared in front of his house a year ago, which is difficult to describe in words.

When the "cough ......." scandal was revealed, Harreston coughed awkwardly.

"Accident, that's just an accident!" he threw the salute onto the bed, emphasing in emphatic emphatic expression, and then, as if he had discovered something, he pointed at Ian and smiled smugly, "But you see, don't you have any luggage prepared yourself, and if you don't have me by your side, I'm afraid you won't be much better off than I was a year ago." ”

"You seem to have forgotten something. Ian turned his head and looked at the smug middle-aged man with a strange look in his eyes.

"Huh?" Harriston raised his eyebrows, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, as if he had really missed something important. And just as he was in a daze, the expressionless young man opened his mouth softly at this moment, and told an unquestionable fact without mercy, which made him fall into petrification in an instant.

"I can teleport. ”

Having inherited all of Phil'er's mind, he could open the walls of space under the cover of night, and go anywhere he had ever been in an instant. So, when he needed something, he just gently pulled back the night and went back to this little courtyard. Of course, if time permits, he can even have dinner at home......

Faced with such a cruel truth, Mr. Harris, who stepped on the path of "life mentor" for the first time, seemed to have suffered an unprecedented major blow, so that for a long time, the whole room fell into an extremely oppressive silence.

"Hoo ......"

As if to blow away all the oppression, Harris let out a long breath. He slowly raised his head, looked directly into Ian's eyes, and said cautiously and solemnly.

"Ian, I wish you could grant me a request?"

"What request?" the dark-haired teenager's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that at this moment, the middle-aged man in front of him was really serious.

"I'm afraid you'll get too caught up in your absolute power. Because if you do that, you will only lose yourself, lose the direction you want to go, and even become a slave to power, and you will not see many wonderful things in this world. ”

Harris slowly straightened up and stood in front of Ian. And it was only at this moment that the black-haired boy realized that his figure was so tall, just like the lofty mountain that stood for eternity. His eyes were so bright, like the stars in the sky.

He opened his mouth slowly, and uttered that low, expectant voice, and that ordinary voice, at this moment, seemed to be transformed into the truth of this world.

"So, in the midst of this journey, if circumstances permit, I hope that you will forget that you are a supreme power, forget that this power does not belong to you in the first place, try to start over, hone your own awakened mind, and see as much as possible in the midst of this wonderful things that belong to others. Finally, when you are truly able to harness power, I hope that you will begin to try to solve problems that seem to be solvable only with power in ways other than power. ”

"Trust me, Ian, you're still young if you can really take this step. Then, one day in the future, you will be incredibly powerful!" (To be continued.) )
