"Ah, my head hurts! What is this place?" said Rodrith, opening his eyes, clutching his aching head.

It was late at night, and the fire was burning weakly.

"How do you feel now? Your wound should have healed almost after treatment. Evan asked kindly.

Rodlis put on his cloak and shrunk into a ball, shivering with cold.

Firin and Loras had already woken up and were standing by Ellie's side with worried faces, the girl still unconscious.

Rhodelis wanted to get up and walk next to them, but if he moved his body slightly, it would affect the muscles of his whole body, so he had to sit obediently in place.

Fei Lin and his party had not eaten for a day, and they had experienced such a thrilling thing, and their faces were much haggard when they set off.

"Lord Aven, aren't you the Prime Minister here to protect us?

From the moment the wolf cub appeared, you, the so-called court magician, were gone.

Do you know that Rodrith almost died in the clutches of the sword wolf in order to save Ellie!" Loras stroked his sister's forehead, unable to hide the anger in his tone.

"If Ellie's condition doesn't improve before dawn, I'll carry her back for treatment. To hell with any order from the Prime Minister!" Loras's long-standing heart finally exploded at this moment.

What's even more infuriating is that Evan didn't answer Loras's question, just smiled slightly, as if he was waiting for something.

It suddenly occurred to Filin that he had left the dagger in the place where he had fought. My heart suddenly cooled, after all, it was my only weapon for self-defense.

"Are you looking for it?" said Aven, who still looked unconcerned, reached out and took the dagger from his pocket and placed it close to the firelight.

With a groan, Filin got up and picked it up, pinning it to his waist as usual.

"Sure enough, this dagger has identified you as its owner. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, old fellow?

Let me tell you, this is just a piece of that Filin picked up by the river a few years ago, and it doesn't hurt anyone at all. Rodrith was speechless at this time, and rubbed the bruises on his arms as he spoke.

"Ellie is fine, just frightened, and it will be fine to sleep. Evan seemed to remember Loras's questioning now, and as he bent down and added some twigs to the fire, the fire was a little stronger than it had just been.

"You're all leaning in, there's something I want to explain to you. ”

The southern night is mesmerizingly beautiful, with fireflies fluttering their wings in the grass, creating psychedelic trails.

At night, the sky is full of stars, and the cold wind rustles through the leaves.

There is such a saying circulating in the Starfall Continent:

When night falls, it means that the holy angels have fallen into the world and walk alongside mortals.

The three teenagers were close together, stretching out their hands to keep warm by the fire.

"Hey, be careful, don't you see that I'm the one who gets hurt the most?" Rodrith was still as poisonous as ever, and Loras was already surprised.

A warm current flowed through his body with the warmth of the firelight, and Fei Lin couldn't help but sigh pleasantly.

Although their strength is still very weak now, they all have the stubbornness of never giving in to their bones. Even if they grin in pain, they can still fight each other as if nothing had happened.

"Young people nowadays don't seem to take their elders seriously at all. Evan made a joke for the first time.

"Why do you look surprised, someone is not a monster who eats children...... "The old man smiled bitterly, "but there is one thing that interests me. ”

Rodlis became interested when he heard this, "It can't be about film, right?" the old man nodded.

"Hahaha, you can also see that Filin likes Ellie? Look, I said a long time ago that this kind of thing can't be hidden~"

“......”

Rodrith patted Filmin on the shoulder triumphantly, and a smirk appeared on his face again.

Ai Wen was very embarrassed when he heard this, it seems that this child is indeed born with a lack of tendons.

"With the magic absorbed by this dagger, it should be enough to break through the limit. The old man said to Film.

"You're saying my dagger absorbs magic?" Fei Lin looked down, the dagger in his hand flickering in the firelight, glowing with an eerie sheen.

"Yes, and I'm afraid it's more than that......" Evan described what had happened after they had passed out.

After hearing this, the three of them were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost, and quickly moved their positions, for fear that their lives would also be sucked away.

Fei Lin was even more frightened and threw the hoodoo in his hand forward, and the dagger spun around in the air a few times before disappearing into the fire.

"I'm not going to be cursed in any way, am I?" he carried it with him almost every day, and he shuddered at the thought of it.

"You can't destroy it to that extent. As he spoke, Evan slowly raised his palm, and the dagger in the fire was dragged into the air.

The court magician clenched his fist slightly, and the dagger flew back into his hand automatically.

"It's a pity that your current ability is too weak, so you can't use it correctly and can't get new powers. A golden flame ignited in Aven's hand.

I saw that the layer of black rust on the surface of the dagger was falling off at a speed visible to the naked eye under the burning of the flames.

All three of them stared intently at the dagger, and after a few seconds, the dagger looked as if it had been recast.

Evan smiled with satisfaction and reached out to hand it to Filin.

Only then did Fei Lin see the true appearance of the dagger: the slender silver blade resembled a willow leaf, and the surface still exuded the residual heat of flames.

The hilt is light gray and looks much sharper than before.

"Don't worry, since it has decided that you are its master, it will naturally not absorb your life force. Aven's words relieved Film.

"It doesn't do much to someone, though, and the dagger, though rare, is still inactive.

Only when your strength reaches a certain level can you exert its true power. ”

Fei Lin couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this, and his heart was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, I have always been unlucky, and I accidentally got a rare weapon.

"In addition, someone has noticed an interesting phenomenon, this dagger seems to resonate with your shadow when watching you fight from the sidelines......"

Hearing this, Rodlis recalled the previous scene when the sword wolf was bounced off by the fireball, and nodded, "I wondered how my fireball technique suddenly turned golden.

With my level of mana, I shouldn't be able to unleash this kind of high-level magic. The magic apprentice spat and flew, ignoring the injuries all over his body, and gestured with excitement on his face.

Filin's consciousness caused some of the shadows to voluntarily detach from their bodies and attach themselves to the dagger.

Therefore, the moment the dagger touched the flames, it was filled with power. That's why the original low-level fireball technique will become a high-level 'blazing flame'. ”

"I see, I didn't understand before, Fei Lin doesn't know any martial arts, and he can actually use an ordinary dagger to stab the sword wolf in the eye, this is the hardest part of that guy!" Loras chimed in.

"Really? It seems to be a rare treasure. Rodrith said, licking his dry lips.

"Hurry up and give it a name, don't ordinary powerful weapons have their own names, what invincible, peerless or something. ”

Fei Lin couldn't help but feel a chill when he heard it, and he was convinced of Rodlis's vulgar taste.

"Since it can fight with my shadow, let's call it 'Shadow Blade'!" Fei Lin couldn't think of a good name for a while, and just wanted to skip the topic quickly.

Ellie gradually regained consciousness, saw the light from the fire, and sat up in a daze.

"Brother, I'm thirst......y," Loras hurriedly looked back, only to see the girl holding the ground with her right hand and rubbing her sore eyes with her left hand.

The three of them immediately leaned over to Ellie's side, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Ahh

Rodrith smiled secretly and handed the water bag to Ellie.

Ai Wen quietly watched the teenagers from the side, with a relieved smile on his face. Suddenly, as if he sensed something, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

"It seems that the journey to the imperial capital is still very long. Evan bowed his head and muttered.
