Chapter 14: The Vigil
Once Brian and Coyce were gone, Simon walked over to the skinny bandit.
"Don't kill me, sir, don't kill me! I know everything, really! I don't hide anything!" the thin little bandit sat down on the ground with a frightened face, his feet kicking back and forth.
Simon didn't say anything, stood in front of the thin little bandit who had no way to retreat, pressed his hand on the top of his head, and stuned the other party with a 'buzz'.
It was only then that he turned to look at the other two teachings and asked, "Kevin, Lake, what do you two think?"
"Hehe, Brian said it so obviously, do you still need to guess?" Teach Lake sneered and continued, "What can manipulate other people's souls is that nine times out of ten, 'that association' did it. ”
"I'm afraid it's more than nine times out of ten, Lake. Kevin, who was on the side, smiled bitterly and picked up the strangely shaped crystal bottle and said, "Even the sacrificial bottle is here, so it's certain that they did it." ”
"The bottle of sacrifice?" Simon rubbed his slightly sore temples and said with a headache, "It seems that we can only inform the seven deans to deal with this matter." ”
.......
Since there was no longer a need to go to the penal office to receive the punishment, Brian was taken out of the tent by Coyse and simply went to the edge of the town.
"Dude, why are you back?" said Luke looked at Brian in surprise.
"Simon taught me that my stuff still had some value, so I got away with it. Brian shrugged his shoulders and joked, "Why, you seem disappointed to hear that I don't have to be punished." ”
"How could it be. Luke punched Brian hard, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and smiled, "But it's really good." ”
"You guy, can you use it?" Brian said helplessly as he looked at Luke, who was a little excited.
"No, I mean, it's great that you're able to turn back into a normal magician. Luke wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled.
There is no cure for the problem of weak mental strength, just like a vegetative person, when it can wake up, it all depends on luck. So when he learned that Brian's mental power had been restored, Simon's three teachings only sighed at Brian's good luck and didn't ask in detail.
It was only at this time that seeing Luke's extremely bright smile, Brian knew that he was really happy, even happier than Simon and them, and even more than himself. For a moment, Brian felt a hint of envy for the original owner of the body, only to quickly disappear.
"Don't talk about that, I heard Koys say that the monsters in it seem to be a little restless in the last few days, what's going on?" Brian asked.
"It's more than restlessness. Hearing Brian's question, Luke also put away his smile and said, "These monsters are as if they are in the mating season, and they are very restless. ”
Speaking of this, Luke paused and asked, "Brian, you should know the origin of the name Firewolf Town, right?"
"Of course. Brian nodded in response.
The name Firewolf Town sounds like it's named after a monster, but it is.
Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, Fire Wolf Town was not the domain of human activities, but the territory of a kind of demonic beast called 'Fire Wolf', but later I heard that there was suspected of an ancient elf ruin on the periphery of the Demonic Beast Forest, so human powerhouses came one after another. And the fire wolf entrenched here naturally became the target of the expulsion of the human powerhouse, and as a last resort, the fire wolf king could only order its descendants to hide in the depths of the demonic beast forest.
Although it is natural to enter the Warcraft Forest to compete for survival territory with other Warcraft species, it is better than being wiped out by human powerhouses on the periphery.
However, in the end, the ancient elven ruins were confirmed to be non-existent. And as the human powerhouses left one after another, this area became a natural safe development zone, and a large number of mercenaries and monster hunters, and even merchants, flocked to it like sharks that smelled fish.
This is also one of the reasons for the formation of Fire Wolf Town, not only Fire Wolf Town, but also many villages and towns around the Warcraft Mountain Range have similar names, such as 'Tiger Lion Town' and 'Snake Rock Town'.
Of course, it is impossible to determine whether the origin of these stories is true or false, but since it can be said so vividly, I am afraid that even if it is fabricated, there is still some truth in it.
Hearing Luke's question, Brian immediately reacted and asked in surprise, "You mean, there have been fire wolves around here recently?"
"That's right. Luke nodded solemnly and continued: "Recently, especially in the past two days, there have been quite a few fire wolves appearing, you know, fire wolves are a kind of social type of magical beasts, once they appear, there must be a lot of them. ”
"No wonder the academy instructors arranged for us to come out for a vigil. Brian nodded, but immediately thought of another question: "But in the terrain of Fire Wolf Town, if you want to arrange a vigil for students, the cordon will definitely be very long, are there so many academy instructors who came to Fire Wolf Town this time?"
Although it is said that it is the experience of students, life and death have their own destiny, but Odin Academy cherishes every student very much, even in the past, there are corresponding tutors who are responsible for the safety of students in an area.
"Aside from Simon's three great teachings, it seems that there are only a few mentors. Luke didn't have a sense of crisis at all, he pointed to a makeshift arrow tower not far away, and smiled at Brian: "Although we don't have a mentor here, it's much safer than other places where there are mentors, because our first-year 'Lance King' is there." ”
"Gun King?"
Brian followed Luke's finger and there was only one student standing on top of the tower, who was looking around vigilantly as he wiped the alchemy gun in his hand.
"Oh my God, Brian, don't you tell me you don't know him?" Luke saw Brian's puzzled expression.
"Is he famous?" said Brian, touching his nose, a little weak. But he knew that whether it was Bivis's memory or his memory, he could be sure that he himself had not seen the student with the gun.
"I've heard you're a nerd for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so informed. Luke slapped his forehead and said helplessly: "Anyway, you just need to know that he is very strong, even if he is placed in the first year of the entire Odin Academy, his strength can be ranked in the top five." ”
"Top five!" Brian was shocked, he didn't expect there to be such a cow here.
"So, our vigil is the easiest. Luke said, taking out a bag of things from his arms, then sneaking around, and handed it over, "Dude, come." ”
Brian couldn't help but glance curiously when he saw Luke looking like a thief.
"Is this a cigarette?"
"Hey, hey, I stole this thing from my old man, come on. Luke smirked.
Brian picked one up with a smile. He smoked too, but it always felt like he hadn't touched anything like this in a long, long time.
"Whew. ”
"The old man said that only melancholy people smoke this kind of thing, and I think he just doesn't want me to smoke it. Luke squinted his eyes and said with a look of relief.
Brian smiled, took the flint, and wanted to try the long-lost taste, but suddenly stopped what he was doing.
"What's wrong, buddy?" asked Luke.
"It seems that this cigarette can only be smoked next time. Brian looked up and looked in the direction of the Monster Forest with a solemn expression.
"Bang!"
At the same time, a gunshot rang out from the arrow tower!
