The enchanted holy city, at the foot of the mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

William and his wife hiked back to the small village at the foot of the Magic Holy City, fetched horses, feasted at the local households, provided some water and food, and finally rode their horses and set off on their journey.

According to the original itinerary, after leaving the small village, William and his wife only had to travel until late at night, and they arrived at a small hotel called the 'Timber Inn', where they planned to stay.

Along the way, somehow, William looked a little preoccupied.

"Mr. William, what are you thinking, is there anything you are worried about?"

At this time, seeing that William was silent and a little silent, Master Rhine, who was riding a horse and walking beside William, couldn't help but ask.

"I always felt depressed, like I was about to encounter some danger. ”

After a faint explanation, William immediately asked uneasily: "You say, will that old guy named Jones get rich and give us a murderous killing, and then still be in the wilderness?"

When Master Rhine heard this, he laughed heartlessly, "Mr. William, don't worry. I've got some friendship with that guy from Jones, and he's not going to do that. ”

After a pause, Master Rhine continued, "Besides, this is not the border of the Empire, so there is any danger there. At most, at most, one or two wild beasts suddenly ran out of the nearby woods. However, with me, a magician, even if the beast comes, it will bring us food and fight tooth sacrifices. ”

"Last time, I was just delivering beer, and I didn't think I would be in any danger, but I didn't expect you to show up. William retorted.

Master Rhine was speechless, only to laugh dryly.

"Forget it, I'm more suspicious, so don't take this matter to heart. ”

William shook his head and said no more.

The journey is always boring and boring.

Sitting on the back of a horse, William's powerful spiritual power extended into the Ring of the Dead, took out a magic book, and looked through it carefully.

In this magic book, there are a total of three low-level magics, one is the fire-based magic fireball technique, the other is the earth-based magic hardening technique, and the other is the wind-based magic sensitivity technique.

Mage Rhine also came over curiously at this time, and just glanced at the contents, and explained: "The fireball technique is an offense, and the sclerosing technique is a defense, which can harden the skin for a short time. ”

"And the agility technique can make you as light as a swallow. All three of these techniques are very practical and must be learned and mastered by almost every beginner magician. ”

William nodded slowly.

He followed the instructions in the book, stretched his arms forward, spread his palms, and then closed his eyes, silently reciting the magic spells he saw in the book.

Seeing William's attentive and serious look, Master Rhine couldn't help but feel amused, "Mr. William, you can't be mistaken. ”

However, Master Rhine smiled and laughed, and suddenly he couldn't laugh anymore.

With a 'bang', a small flame burst into William's palm.

"Oh, hell, Mr. William, are you sure you're a beginner in magic? You're such a genius! It took me half a month and a month of repeated practice to memorize the spell before I summoned a wisp of flame. ”

Rhein was amazed. Thinking of the past years, he said with infinite emotion: "Subsequently, it took me another month to completely control the fire element, which slowly condensed into a small fireball. ”

Just as Master Rhine spoke, the small flame in William's palm burst into flames, turning into a small fireball the size of an egg.

Master Rhine was dumbfounded.

However, this is far from the end. As William silently recited the incantation, the small fireball in his hand became bigger and bigger, and in just a moment, the volume directly changed from the size of an egg to the size of a basketball.

Master Rhein was shocked, "William, happen, hurry, stop! If you condense the fireball like this, we will all be killed!"

"I've stopped chanting the mantra, but I still can't stop! Damn, tell me what to do!"

When William opened his eyes, he was also startled, and a little flustered.

Just when the two hesitated, the fireball of basketball size had been upgraded again, and it directly turned into a basin size. The scorching heat burned William's cheeks, not only William's eyes were stinging and he couldn't open them, but even the horse under his crotch was also a little frightened.

"Oh, damn it! Mr. William, don't move, I'll help you now!"

Master Rhein approached William, grabbed William's left arm with which he had performed the fireball technique, and shook it with both hands.

The huge fireball, which finally broke away from William's palm, fell from the sky in a graceful parabola and smashed into a small tree nearby.

With a 'boom', the small tree broke off at the waist, and the branches and leaves were directly ignited, and they began to burn hot.

Without time to appreciate the destructive power of the fireball technique he had created, William only felt a piercing pain in his palm, which made him frown together.

The palm of his entire left hand had been badly burned and drenched in blood.

"Phew!"

Master Rhein hurriedly spat on William's palm.

"What are you doing?

William glared at Master Rhine.

"Saliva is effective in preventing injuries from getting worse. Master Rhein explained, tearing off a strip of rag and quickly bandaging William.

Despite his displeasure, William couldn't bear to refuse Master Rhine's kindness and dampen his enthusiasm.

On the way to learn the magic fireball technique for the first time, William was injured due to carelessness.

The palms of the hands were like being burned in a blazing fire, and the pain was incomparable.

But William still endured it and didn't say a word. His only hope now was to be able to get to the Woods Hotel as soon as possible, where there might be medicine to treat his injuries.

William and the two rode horses, and both accelerated their journey.

"Mr. William, did you hear the sound of horses' hooves?" then Master Rhine leaned over again and asked cautiously.

"I heard, I'm not deaf. The wounded palm of his hand made William a little irritable.

"Mr. William, I think something is very wrong. There is no shop in front of the village here, so even if you are in a hurry, you don't need to be in such a hurry. ”

I have to say that Master Rhine still has some brains, which impresses William.

"I also feel that something is wrong, so I will listen to you. There's a grove there, and we're going to take refuge. ”

With one hand on the reins, William controlled the horse to turn in one direction and hid with Master Rhine.

Shortly after the two left, a bald man eight feet tall, with a machete in his hand, and muscles all over his body, galloped past with an unkind look.

"Yakto! It's Yakto! I'm absolutely not mistaken!"

Hidden in the woods, Master Rhine almost screamed in surprise, but fortunately William covered his mouth in time. He was puzzled and muttered, "No, why did that guy suddenly appear here?"

William sneered, "I'm almost certain now, someone else will come, do you believe it or not?"

Master Rhine was a little dazed, but his mind still didn't turn a corner.

Just as the two were talking in a whisper, as William said, I saw that the old Jones, who was originally in the magical holy city, actually rode a fast horse and galloped in front of William and the others.

"Mr. William, that old fellow Jones, is really the idea of killing people and selling goods. ”

After understanding the facts, Master Rhine's face turned a little pale, and his heart was both angry and cold.

Back then, Jones, Yakto and the three of them formed a mercenary group together, which was definitely a friend of life and death, but now his two brothers are interested in getting rich......

"Maybe it's not as bad as you think, and they might just be passing by in a hurry. ”

Gently patting Master Rhine on the shoulder, William comforted him with a word or two, "However, for the sake of caution, it is better for us to stay away from them." ”

"Maybe it's true that I'm overthinking. ”

Master Rhine showed a hint of loneliness on his face, led the horse, turned and walked away, and said with bitterness in his tone: "Mr. William, come with me, I know that there is a path nearby, but it is a little difficult to walk." ”

No matter how difficult the road is, I can't take care of it so much at the moment.

William didn't speak, silently following behind Master Rhine.

After being betrayed by his brother, Master Rhine became very depressed. William watched the movement around him carefully, but he didn't pay attention.

"Mr. William, although I have not been with you for long, I always feel that you are full of wisdom. I have a question for you. ”

Master Rhine, who was walking in front of William, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Ask, what's the question? I know it. A smile appeared on William's face.

Master Rhine sighed, "I was an orphan when I was a child, and everyone around me didn't like me. That's when I started studying magic, and I wanted to be a great magician and make everyone look at me differently. But my talent is so poor. ”

"In middle age, I hated the world, I fell into depour, and I met Jones. I've always treated him as a best friend, and I've advised him not to have a deep relationship with someone like Yakto. ”

"But, judging from what I was looking at, Jones didn't treat me as a friend at all...... Do I deserve to have friends?"

William was stunned. He wanted to answer the question, but he found it difficult to answer.

Seeing that William could not answer, Master Rhine was visibly even more disappointed, and he turned around, pulled the reins and led the horse, and walked silently, without saying a word.

"I don't know about the others, but if it were the two of us, I think with enough sincerity, we would eventually become friends. ”

William smiled faintly, "Let's hurry up, my hands hurt badly." Even now, it's like a fire. ”
