The next morning, my father had already gone out and said that he wanted to talk about some cooperation, and try to revitalize the theater while the new play was being performed.

Only the mother and son had breakfast together, and Saul took the opportunity to tell his mother that he wanted to go to school, but he didn't want to, and his mother immediately gently but firmly refused.

"Child, it's very chaotic outside now, I'm discussing with your father to ask you for leave, don't go out recently. ”

Mrs. Hayworms persuaded while handing Thor a newspaper, and continued worriedly, "You see, there was a riot in the Greek community in the North Side and the civilian area in the South last night, and it's too dangerous outside!"

Saul took the newspaper and read in bold bold on the headline:

"The Navy instructor was assassinated, who is the murderer and what is the purpose?"

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is furious, and the Sultan Mermelo has ordered to hunt down the murderer for a limited time!"

"Hilish civilians are dissatisfied with being discriminated against and framed, and riot en masse!"

Although the community of the Hayworms family is not a gathering place for the big nobles in the central area, it is also inhabited by small nobles and wealthy businessmen, so there is no need to worry about security, and the community is very calm.

I didn't expect the situation outside to be so bad.

An assassination case caused the situation to take a turn for the worse, and at this time, it was almost like the suffering of Europe seen on the news at half past seven in the evening in the previous life!

Disturbingly, this kind of news is happening all around us.

Mrs. Hayworms sighed, "I heard that the situation in the northern province of Hill is even more serious, and even heard that it is going to be independent, oh my God, what is wrong with the world?"

"When your father comes back, we have to talk about it, if not, we will leave the Duchy of Xinlan and go back to the Austro-British Empire first, and then consider coming back when the situation calms down." ”

"It's just that the theater has just improved a little, and your father may be reluctant to ...... career."

At this time, the maid came out of the kitchen, also came to her mother, and begged nervously: "Madam, if you want to leave, can you take us with you, I want to serve Madame all the time, and the gentleman and young master." ”

Mrs. Hayworms comforted, "Of course, you are part of our family, of course we will go together, yes, and bring your family with you." ”

The maid hurriedly said kind words gratefully, and Mrs. Hayworms was reserved and modest, and the atmosphere soon changed.

Thor shook his head secretly, said that he was full, and left the dining table and returned to the bedroom.

Standing in front of the window, you can see the red sun rising from the horizon, swaying a thousand golden rays, bathing the city in sunlight and breeding shadows.

Thor sighed, and was about to close the curtains and study the magic knowledge in the sea of knowledge, when suddenly he felt a sense and looked down at a place.

A square-faced boy stood on the corner of the street, looking up at Thor, strangely passers-by, as if they hadn't noticed the Hillish boy.

Saul's heart was terrified, but he looked calm as usual, turned back and went downstairs, bypassed the dining room, and told his mother that the house was too stuffy, and went outside to bask in the sun.

Mrs. Hayworms, who was chatting with the maid, opened her mouth to stop it, but after thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay, not too long!"

Out of the door, the square-faced young man was already standing at the courtyard gate.

Thor secretly tightened the knife hidden in his sleeve and greeted him.

One person outside the courtyard, one person in the courtyard, separated by the wooden door, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Thor's expression was cold and calm.

"Reacquainted, my name is Ania Zulu, the Shaman's apprentice of Hill!" the square-faced boy spoke first.

"Shaman?" Sol was shocked and blurted out, "Isn't it in the Scarlet Wasteland?"

Ania frowned slightly, and instead of responding to Thor, she said, "I'm here to apologize, I hope you understand, my friend didn't mean to offend." ”

Hmm? The shaman's apprentice seems to have misunderstood something.

Thor put away the surprise on his face, remained silent, and looked at the other party in silence.

Ania didn't wait for a response, sighed, and said, "The assassin is his brother, and he was just carried away by anger. ”

As he spoke, Ania lowered his eyes, no longer looked directly at Thor, and said in awe: "Your mentor must be a powerful magician, and he loves you very much, so he will give you a demon amulet." ”

"However, with your current cultivation, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to support an envoy. ”

Ania said, and slowly took out a piece of wood carving from his bosom: "This is a totem pole, as compensation for my friend's offense against you." ”

The moment the wood carving appeared, the frog ghost sent a strong hunger and thirst, which kept hitting Thor's heart.

Thor suppressed this emotion with great perseverance, pursed his lips, and spoke for the first time:

"My parents were present at the time of the assassination, and Viscount Cap was invited by my uncle, and he couldn't have an accident on the spot. ”

Aniah's eyes flickered, and Thor could clearly see the muscles on his face tremble.

Half-ringing, Ania calmed down, handed the wood carving to Thor, and said coldly: "The Hill Shaman doesn't want to be an enemy of the magician, but on the Hill Peninsula, we are not afraid of you!"

Thor stretched out his hand to take the wood carving, suppressed his excitement, and said seriously: "Since you know us, you should also know the rules of the Magic Association, and I will not interfere with you." ”

"It better be!"

Before Ania left, she suddenly turned around and said, "Didn't your mentor give you a treasure and let you use a sword as a weapon?"

Thor remained silent.

The corners of Aniah's mouth twitched, and seeing that the temptation was fruitless, she decisively turned around and left, and after taking a few steps, the light suddenly distorted, and the figure disappeared.

"Frog Ghost"

The thick severed limbs climbed up Thor's shoulders, and the flat head popped out with the tip of his tongue, and Thor looked like a demon in the faint green light.

With a flicker of light and shadow, Aniah's figure reappeared, and he glanced at Sol with a cold face, especially the wood carving in Sol's hand that was swallowed by the green mang, snorted coldly, and disappeared again.

The frog ghost's eardrum vibrated with a "croak", and the silent magic power shook all around, detecting that Ania had completely left, and Thorton's body weakened, and he raised his hand to support the hospital wall so as not to let himself collapse.

"Whew"

Thor let out a long breath, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his whole body was weak: "It's dangerous!"

"Isn't shamans only existing in the depths of the Scarlet Wasteland, in mysterious tribes, some kind of ancient power?"

"Damn Mayne, Korida, damn the Magic Society, damn it, damn it, fuck!"

Thor scolded.

"I haven't even completed the magic circuit, I'm not even an apprentice, what should I do?"

Originally, he only thought he was some terrorist, but Thor was not worried, after all, he had extraordinary powers, even if it was just a beginner to magic, but he was still a little proud in his heart.

But the reality is so cruel!

"No, you can't panic, scare yourself, I want to calm down!"

Thor took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Now the situation is not bad, because of the demons, these people think that there is a powerful magician standing behind them, and they dare not act rashly until this lie is exposed. ”

"No," Thor reacted suddenly, his eyes falling on the wood carving in his hand, "these people are not as strong as I thought!"

Mayne Corrida remembers that in order to complete the Barent's snake ring technique, he ventured deep into the edge of the Scarlet Wasteland and infiltrated a tribe to steal the totem pole.

But he was chased and killed by the tribe's shaman in the wasteland for several days and nights, until he gave up the totem pole and escaped.

He speculated that the reason why that shaman was like this was because the totem pole was indeed precious, and the other more important reason was that he was afraid that he would analyze the mystery of the totem pole, and then analyze the origin of the shaman's power!

The magic power originated more than a thousand years ago and is still a young force, and young forces have crazy expansion.

The young magic force does not yet have a fixed and clear path forward, and in order to develop the magic system, every magic envoy is a crazy researcher!

In the past thousand years, many extraordinary powers have disappeared, most of which are due to the fact that the magic envoy has analyzed the origin of their power and then integrated into the magic system!

For example, the basic knowledge of Mayne Corida's technique, the Barrant Snake Ring, comes from the totemic power he studied!

"So," Sol concluded, "Ania Zulu doesn't have a complete shamanic lineage behind him, or rather, his shamanic apprentice. It's the strongest force of its organization!"

"Otherwise, Ania Zulu would never have given away a totem pole easily, especially if he knew it. I've got a more powerful magician behind me!"

Thinking of this, Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

However, you can't relax, and the top priority now is to gain a powerful combat skill, and you can't slowly increase your strength.

Since Ania Zulu is so familiar with magic, he must have come into contact with the magician, and he will definitely be annoyed and angry when he discovers Thor's truth.

Thor looked at the totem pole in his hand, thinking of the demon, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "Let's talk about the future development, let's take care of the present!"

Thinking of the skill recorded in Mayne Corida's research, Thor put away the wood carving and strode back to the house.

After a while, Thor's coquettish voice sounded: "Mom, I want to go to Grandpa Titch, okay, it's very close anyway." ”

Old Tage, the old hunter who made the red longbow for Thor, is a legend in the neighborhood.
