Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Strange Child (Asking for Subscription)

After the Knight Lord Yarman left, the hall fell silent again, but it was not long before a little boy in a coarse cloth robe ran out of the ordinary and special door.

As he ran and jumped forward, he hummed softly, and the childish voice echoed through the empty hall:

"Don't look at me as only seven years old, but I'm a strong knight;

Hop on my favorite wooden horse and ride it through the garden

Good dog, follow closely, or I will scold you;

Duel with a wooden sword and a cloth bear, and it is better to have another glass of juice after the battle;

He doesn't cry even if he falls, unless he accidentally drops his teeth;

For I am a knight, the strongest knight;

As long as I don't eat green peppers, I'm the strongest knight!"

......

The little boy hummed a song to a candlestick in the corner of the hall, and broke the candlestick at another angle with his feet, after which the sound of "click, click" chains suddenly sounded in the air above the hall.

Barrett gripped the hilt of his sword and looked upwards, only to see six hanging objects that resembled a table falling from mid-air. He had already seen these strange things when he admired the huge paintings, but he had thought that they were only for decoration, but now it seemed that they had other uses.

The little boy came to a table and took out a small pebble with a soft white glow from the pocket of his coarse cloth coat. The boy rubbed the stone, smiled inexplicably happily, then placed the stone on the table, and ran and jumped to the next table.

The stone that has been kept 'light' is a light-emitting object with a high cost performance. Although ordinary farmers and commoners preferred to use candles for lighting because of their price, this constant 'light' item was frequently used in taverns, theaters, and other facilities in large cities, as well as in the homes of most nobles.

When the boy had placed all six glowing stones, he went back to the candlestick in the corner and broke it back into place with his feet. After that, the table slowly rises back into the air.

In an instant, the entire hall was bright, and the shadows' offensive was instantly disintegrated, and they hid behind those corners and objects like lost dogs, carefully lingering.

The little boy looked at the whole hall as if it were daylight, covered his mouth with his hands and snickered happily, he ran back to the door, stood on tiptoe to open it, and walked in. But when the door was halfway shut, the little boy suddenly stretched out his cute little face again, covered his mouth and snickered at the crowd, and then returned to the door.

There was a 'click' and the door was shut.

"What a weird boy. Brandon muttered.

Barrett nodded in her heart.

"Well, that's not weird. "There was a little boy in our village, and I must say that he was definitely a very well-behaved and obedient child, and he rarely cried when he was a child. However, if the little boy cried to another person, that person would surely die the next day for various reasons. It's a really sad thing. ”

The sad young man sighed again, "Some villagers say that it is because the little boy is crying because he sees that this man is about to die, and others say that this little boy is possessed by the devil and has an evil power, and his cry is like the howl of a banshee, which will cause the death of those who hear it." But anyway, that little boy was really weird. Or should I say, well-behaved and weird. The villagers were afraid of her, and her parents were so worried that they locked him in the house and refused to let him out. ”

It's a peculiar statement, and Barrett doesn't understand why the depressed Eddie keeps insisting that the little boy is well-behaved.

"And then?" asked Brandon, curious.

"Then I heard that a strange mage had suddenly come to the village, and that mage had taken the little boy away. A melancholy Eddie said, "If you want me to say, all the mages are weird, but much weirder than that boy!"

Taken away by the mage?Barrett suddenly felt that the story was familiar, as if he had heard a similar version somewhere, except that the little boy in that version had a different ability, a less bizarre ability.

"Did the little boy come back later?" Barrett stared intently at the young man named Eddie in front of him.

"Alas, although the whole village was happy with the boy's departure at that time, it was not long before the little boy was sent back by the mage. "At that time, the villagers were panicking because of the return of the little boy, but the person who sent the boy back told the villagers that the strange abilities of the boy were gone, and the villagers should not worry. He even slapped the boy hard in front of many villagers, causing the boy to cry in pain......"

"Is that boy's ability really gone?" Brandon looked surprised.

"It's completely gone!" Eddie said without a habitual sigh, "although the villagers were shocked and panicked, and even a few of the timid ones ran away screaming, but the next day no one died. The little boy's abilities have indeed disappeared, and he has changed from a strange boy to an ordinary boy, and even some older children will bully the boy until he cries, as a way to show that he is very bold. ”

"What did the mage who took the little boy look like?" Barrett asked, "Is it a blood-colored robe, a hideous white bone staff in his hand, and a huge, terrifying monster with three heads lying on his side, with the cold wind and banshee-like screams that he walks with?"

Add gave Barrett a strange look, and the others looked at him strangely.

"The mage did wear a red robe, but the red was more like a burning flame than blood, and he did have a white staff in his hand, but it was made of mammoth tusks, not bones, unless the ivory was also bone. I don't know. ”

Add frowned, as if recalling carefully, "That mage really has a three-headed monster, a giant Chimera, terrifying in appearance, but very docile in nature. I've never heard the screams around the mage, and as for the cold wind, it's really cool to follow him in the summer. ”

"How do you know such details?" Brandon looked puzzled.

Barrett looked at the rest of the group, and except for Brandon, the other people had expressions of "I see" and "this is how it is". Barrett reckoned that the look on his face should be about the same.

The answer couldn't be more obvious, but some stupid people just can't find it unless someone "feeds" the answer to their ears.

"I ......" Eddie hesitated, he looked around at the crowd, and then his gaze fell on Brandon with a special smile on his face, "I know that boy." He smiled rarely.

Barrett noticed that Add's smile was similar to the boy who was singing and bringing light. It's a kind of snickering, but the snickerer isn't very good at it.

"I see. Brandon also "suddenly realized"Ms. Hannah, I have known this for a long time. You think, if Eddie hadn't known the boy, he wouldn't have known that much. He was complacent about the details he observed.

Hannah ignored Brandon's "show-off", but looked at Eddie with a rare gentle smile on her face, "I didn't expect that boy to have this kind of experience, it seems that he has grown up now, and he should be doing well now!"

"Alas, growing up is growing up. The melancholy Eddie returned to a sad face, "As for how it is, I can only say that it is average." ”

Although the young man's experience was peculiar, he was not very good at speaking.

"Why, is there anything he is dissatisfied with his current situation?" Hannah walked up to Eddie, squinting and smiling with a charming and charming smile on her face.

"Satisfied, satisfied. Eddie said in a panic, and after Hannah left him, he whispered, "Alas, satisfied......"

At this moment, the "backstage of the theater" was opened again, and the kind-hearted cook walked out of it with two plates.

"Wait until you're hungry, dinner will start soon!" said the cook with a smile.
