Chapter 062: Big Lie

"Lie down quickly, if you don't want to get something to your bottom line. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Alan said to him when he woke up from his sleep. "Although I know you're weak right now, I can't help but tell you. Mike was all right, the young wizard had revived him in less than a quarter of an hour, and together with Wizard Majorwade, he had made a secret elixir of the antidote, and now that everyone was fine, Sir Duck had beenโ€”"

"Pour me a drink. Alan interrupted by licking his dry lips.

"Man, something doesn't seem quite right when you came out of the station!" said Sersi as he walked over to the table, picked up the brass flask and poured a glass of wine, "Steven said that the wizard that Sir Duck had angered seemed to be very powerful, and few people could combine alchemy and witchcraft with such ease. He passed the glass over and pushed the stuffy blindfold, "Can you tell me? What did you encounter in there?"

"Someone threatened me through Mike. Alan took a sip of cold wine and whispered, "I guess it's that powerful wizard, he can actually talk to me through a sorcerer, if not with my own eyes-"

"It's an ancient telephonic ....." The door to the room was pushed open, and a young wizard with red hair walked in. "But that witchcraft has been lost for a long time. Steven walked over to the table, turned the clasped cup over, and naturally poured himself half a glass of wine, "Legend has it that the old witch of the Convent of Frae would use it. However, if the old demon girl is still alive, she is estimated to be two hundred years old!"

"If you don't want to have your head screwed off," Alan said with a frown, "next time you'll have to learn to knock on the door first, and get the master's permission to come in!"

Steven put his glass on the table and pursed his lips nonchalantly. "I was only commissioned by Sir Duck to see you, who knew you were awake. He walked over to the bed, reached out and touched Alan's head, "Woo..... The burn seems to have receded, what a hard guy!"

"Steven," said Sercy, "I thank him for your kindness, but you better get out of here before he gets angry." โ€

"Angry?" the red-haired wizard raised an eyebrow, "Why is he angry?" he stepped back to the window and clasped his hands, "Figured it out, I've just saved hundreds of lives, including your companions, not to mentionโ€”" He dragged out the rusty wolf head coat of arms from his robes, "I'm a wizard with great merit, and you're Nipurs, you should kneel down when you see this!" he snorted coldly, carefully retracting the coat of arms into his robes, and looked at Alan on the bed with a haughty expression.

"Well, meritorious little wizard, I have a question for you. Alan tried his best to hide the disdain in his tone, "Before entering the station, you hypnotized me, I saw many strange sights, can you tell me, what is that?"

"Hypnotism," Steven snorted disdainfully, "I'm just worried that you'll be in a mess when you enter the station, so I'll let you see something you want to see." โ€

"What I want to see?" Alan frowned slightly, "Those, are they real?"

"Some are true, some are not. Steven said, "There are not only memories in the human mind, but also many unrealistic fantasies, and hypnosis will only let you see what you want to see, and it is up to you to distinguish whether it is the same as reality." โ€

Alan lowered his eyes, and the visions resurfaced in his mind. Those images are even more real than what you see with your own eyes. Before he saw Kenny, he peeked into the Dragon's Blood Forest, the trees and streams were just as real as they were, and the wilderness connected to them was very real, and he had even seen the mountain pool where Kenny was, and when he got closer to take a closer look, the bushes there were even full of virtue.

Shelley, on the other hand, was the reason for his hope that the illusion was true, which at least meant that she was alive and well, better than in the snow, better than in the illusion, better than in Nippur, but if it was true.....

"Oh, you're awake!" suddenly came the hoarse cry of Sir Dark, and Alan didn't even hear his footsteps, let alone when he entered.

"Your Excellency, I have brought you the sword. Duck placed the black steel sword on the table. The Frontier Commander, who had been sleepless all night, was tired, but in one day, a lot of tiny stubble appeared on his chin.

"Thanks," Alan nodded at him, "what about my companion?

"It's good, but even the bravest knight needs to rest. Darke smiled gently, "Wizard Mejved said, if the medicine is enough, your companion should be able to have dinner with us." โ€

"Sir," Steven continued, "when will the bounty you requested from Lord Elidu arrive?"

"Three days, three days at most. Duck turned to the red-haired wizard, "Not only will you be rewarded by your lord, but the border guards will also show some military salaries, and this time it's all up to you to save the border station!"

"Better hurry!" Steven craned his neck haughtily, "You know, wizards like me are very busy, since the lords of Nikko, your, and Uruk learned that the city of Nipur was flooded and that I was no longer working for Lord Kenny Dalton, they threw olive branches to me, and the lord of Namu of your even invited me with a salary of a hundred gold coins, to be honest, I don't want to waste too much time here!"

"Okay, okay. Duck smiled, "I'll write to them right away and tell those guys to get your bounty over there." โ€

"What about you?" Steven turned to Alan and Sersi, "didn't mean anything at all? You know, I just-"

โ€œ..... A big lie?" Alan continued.

"Are you insulting me?" asked Steven with a frown after a brief silence.

"Because you insulted Nipur first, then Dalton!" said Alan's face crumbled.

"Holy," Steven cursed, "You're just two wandering knights of Nipur, how dare you yell at me!" he pulled the wolf's head coat of arms from his robe again, "Take a look, it'sโ€”"

A cold light flashed, interrupting Steven's haughty show-off. In the next second, the red-haired wizard felt his jaw slump to the ground, split in half with the rusty wolf head crest, by the sword of the knight in front of him.

"You, you, you ....." Steven looked at the coat of arms with a trembling mouth, "you madman, do you know..... What a damn ......"

"Boy, stop swaggering with Dalton!" Alan scolded as he returned his sword to its sheath.

"Oh! I thought you knew!" Duck interjected suddenly, "Don't you know, honorable wizard?" this is the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Nippel, Alan Dalton.....
