Chapter 9: The Eye of Harris
Ferdinand opened the magic barrier, and the power of the lava was reflected onto the attic, and the huge impact knocked off the roof of the bar, and the fire began to spread rapidly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Eric looked at Ferdinand, who was sweating profusely, in surprise, he had no idea that this seemingly scruffy old man was actually a hidden magician. Rory didn't have time to pay attention to the firelight around him, and he desperately tried to reach the roast leg of lamb on the table through the magic barrier.
At this moment, the burning wooden beams on the roof suddenly smashed into the stairs, and with a scream from Eric, Andy, who was lying on the stairs, was teleported by Ferdinand into the magical barrier.
Rebecca went even frenzier as the power of lava unleashed, her ghostly howl piercing the night sky of Muddy Alley. While Ferdinand was concentrating on taking care of the innocent children under him, Rebecca shook her body with the flames in her hand and looked up to the sky and laughed, "Ferdinand...... You old immortal, open your dog eyes and see clearly, do you still think my mana is not strong enough?"
Ferdinand ignored the woman, thinking now about how he could get the child under him to safety before the magic barrier was gone.
Rebecca was furious when she saw that Ferdinand was not interested in the damage she had done with all her might, and her mouth full of black teeth made the mad woman look terrifying. She continued to set fires everywhere, shouting, "I'm going to show you, is this intoxicating magic just Tyron's skin......?" ”
Ferdinand took advantage of Rebecca's distraction and tried his best to turn on the runic energy again, and the magic shield enveloped him and the children.
Rebecca continued to ramp around with her magic ragged and her eyes wide open. Alex's Tavern was completely engulfed in flames, the flames illuminating the muddy alley as if it were daylight, and the crackling of the burning wood made Eric and the Bunier kids cry.
The Night Watchmen in Auston discover the fire in Muddy Alley, and the alert Night Watch Captain Duke organizes a firefighting team. By the time the knights led the fire brigade to Muddy Alley, the flames had set all the buildings on both sides of the street on fire, and the fleeing people scattered Duke's fire brigade like a herd of wild cattle.
Years later, when Duke meets Andy again at Greystone Castle, he explains the failure to fight the fire in Muddy Alley, and expresses his shame for the tragic death of Andy's parents in the fire.
Ferdinand looked at the scattered citizens with a confused look in his eyes, he knew that things might have gotten out of hand since he discovered that Andy had dark magic powers, but he had no idea that the situation would be so serious. He could now drop the shield to stop Rebecca from setting fire, but the innocent child under him could be burned to death.
He touched the Eye of Harris, a treasure that had been abandoned by his master and was now on his chest, as if the crystal pendant was unusually alive when any disaster struck. Although he had gone from an unknown ranger to a well-known magician with the artifact, he had never figured out why Harris had not replanted the artifact, but had allowed himself to wander around with it.
Just as Ferdinand was puzzled, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the sky and quickly fell behind Rebecca.
The woman on the verge of collapse looked back in surprise, the stupid head resting on her neck and turning her head into a pile of charcoal ash scattered to the ground.
Ferdinand looked in surprise at the man in front of him, who was covered in a black cloak. A sneer interrupted Ferdinand's suspicions, and as the sneer was drowned out by the chaotic cacophony of all around, Ferdinand said calmly: "It is a good thing for you to kill your own apprentice with your own hands. ”
The cloak man sneered again and said, "You mean Rebecca?" Ferdinand said impatiently, "Or else there is another apprentice of Tyron here?"
Ferdinand's conversation with Taryn awakens the fainting Andy, who looks closely at the tall and mysterious man in front of him.
Taryn shivered as Ferdinand's children hid in their magic shields, and he picked up a piece of burning wood and looked at it carefully, as if admiring a work of art.
As the burning wood flame gradually extinguished, he said disdainfully, "Maybe you haven't figured it out, but the past ten years have proven that the Eye of Harris longs to see the disaster happen, and is clever in the shadows to make arrangements for what is coming, and you are just a small character who carries the black pot for Harris. Now the guilt and insecurity in that hypocrite's heart have been masked by your stupid actions. As for Rebecca, it's not worth mentioning, she wants to get the Dark Magic Tome, and I'm just taking advantage of her weakness, to be honest, I don't like it to give me her ** toe. ”
Ferdinand's words reminded him of his past experiences. Taryn watched as the agitated Harris Eye on the other side gradually regained his composure before turning and disappearing into the darkness. Ferdinand survived this chaotic dawn of speculation over and over again.
Andy looked at the white smoke from his low house not far away. He shouted hoarsely with his mouth open, but without making a sound, tears streaming down his cheek and onto his curled left leg.
When the light of dawn shines again on the filthy streets of Muddy Water Lane, the busy scene of the past is long gone, and there are broken rubbles everywhere, unburned wood and collapsed houses everywhere.
Duke led the Night Watch knights to surround Ferdinand, the silver spear pointed at the blue eyes, Ferdinand gently raised his hands and looked helplessly at Andy below.
