Chapter 117: Volunteering
A cold breeze squeezed in through the crack in the window, and the brazier on the edge of the wall swayed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the side hall, there was the sound of overlapping footsteps, and Sersi frowned, his gaze falling on the closed wooden door of the side hall, as if he was more eager to see the caller than Kenny.
"Lord. He snapped his gaze back to Kenny, "We'll have to be careful later, I've always felt that wizards in this world aren't good people, and those guys are usually elusive, as if they always have a hand of hole cards that no one else can see." ”
"Oh?" Kenny frowned slightly, "Why do you say that about dark magic wizards, you are jealous of their witchcraft and intelligence?"
"By no means. Sersi shook his head in denial, "I once took in an alchemist wizard, and when I was with him, I always had a feeling of being used. He paused, his eyes wandering over Allen's body, "And that's the case, because of him, I killed a loyal soldier by mistake, and even now I can't figure out how he used it, anyway, you can ..... later"
The heavy wooden door creaked, interrupting Sersi's unfinished exhortation.
"Lord!" a guard walked into the hall, "the self-proclaimed soul caller has arrived, may I ask you, will you meet him now?"
Kenny and Sersi turned their heads and looked through the wooden door to the hall. The fire in the main hall was bright, and a young man in a loose white robe stood outside the door, his face was slightly thin, and he was no more than twenty years old.
"Pass him in. Kenny commanded.
The white-robed young man walked into the side hall, and the heavy wooden door slowly closed. The young man stood on Kenny's side, his head bowed slightly, his left hand still resting on his abdomen, like a standard wizard.
"My lord, I heard that you are offering a bounty for a capable evoker, and if you save your friend, you will receive a bounty of a thousand gold coins. Excuse me, is that so?" the young man asked straight to the point.
Kenny turned his head to look at the young man in front of him, only to see that he had a haughty posture and a confident expression on his face.
"That's right!" he confirmed, "anyone who can save my friend can get a thousand gold coins, whether he's a soul caller or not." ”
"I've heard about your deeds, and it's rumored throughout the city that Nipur has a wise lord, and if it was the bounty posted by that guy at Barton, maybe I wouldn't have helped you. The young man smiled and turned to look at Alan on the table, "Presumably, this knight is your friend, right?"
Kenny stood up and nodded.
The young man moved to the side of the long table and looked at Alan on the table. Then, he reached out from his white robe and placed it lightly on the back of Alan's cold hand, his gaze sweeping back and forth over his body.
"Your Excellency. The young man withdrew his hand and looked at Kenny with a frown, "Do you have anything else to do with this knight besides being close friends?" Before Kenny could speak, he added, "Please be honest." ”
Kenny was startled and fell silent for a moment. "We have the same blood in our bodies. He replied.
"I see. The young man frowned, "I spoke to this knight just now, and his geist has been calling your name. He paused, then frowned again, "Excuse me, what kind of demon spirit did this knight be injured by?"
Kenny lowered his head, his gaze falling on Alan's gray pupils again. "A banshee, less than twenty years old. ”
"Gone?"
"She was covered with a faint red light," Sersi hurriedly explained, "We were attacked during the day, in the temple of the monastery of Nipur City, and in front of the statue of Namu, she just gently stroked his forehead, and then ....."
"Daytime?" the young man turned to look at Sersi as he spoke.
"Yes, just today, with all the people in this room present, we saw the demon touch his forehead, and she flew out of the temple window in a red light. Sersi shifted his gaze to the young man's face, "Of course, not you. ”
The young man furrowed his brows, a tangled expression on his face, his hand tapping on the table, making rhythmic noises in the quiet side hall.
"Lord Kenny. The young man looked at Kenny again, "Excuse me, did the knight and the demon know each other before, or did they have some kind of relationship with each other?" he paused, his tone becoming meaningful, "You..... Do you understand what I mean?"
"Unlikely. Kenny shrugged, "We've only been to Nipur City, and we've seen the wraith before, but they haven't even spoken. ”
"Please be honest. The young man said solemnly.
"That's the truth. Kenny looked displeased, "Why do you have so many questions, isn't it the duty of a soul caller to bring back the souls of the dead?"
"That's right!" Sersi chimed in, "just now, you said that he was talking to his spirit, can't the Evoker be able to make others talk to the dead? What are you waiting for?"
The young man smiled helplessly, pulled out the chair on the side of the long table and sat down, his hands still on his abdomen, and closed his eyes slightly.
"Damn!" Sersi slapped the table and stood up, "What kind of place are you supposed to be?!The lord's bounty is random to be revealed?!"
"Lord Lord!" the young man opened his eyes, "The duty of a soul caller is indeed to recall the souls of the dead, but ....." he paused, narrowing his narrow eyes into a slit, "Then it is also necessary to distinguish the good and bad of the dead! Our evoker wizards are inextricably linked to the spirits, and so are the black-robed wizards, and if my guess is correct, your friend must have despised the spirit, right?"
Kenny looked at the young man's sharp eyes, which seemed to see through everything. "That's true. He said, "But there was a reason, and it was ..... at the time."
"I'm sorry!" the young man stood up, interrupting Kenny's explanation. "Lord Lord, I think you may have to ask for another skill, if I help you save this knight, that demon will definitely haunt me, this is the biggest taboo in the code of spirit summoners, I don't want to die for a thousand gold coins, let alone ....."
"What's more?!" Selsi slammed to his feet, rushed forward and wrapped his arms around the young man's neck, and pressed the cold ivory dagger to the young man's neck, "You have two choices now! Die now, or get away with it in the near future!"
The young man was stunned by the sudden attack, and small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He never expected to be held hostage, as the wise Lord Kenny was being praised everywhere in Nippur.
With an idea, he slowly leaned towards the table.
"What are you doing!!" Sersi roared.
The young man slowly reached out to Alan on the table, and when his hand touched Ellen's cold body, a voice entered everyone's ears.
"Let Him Go, Sersi ....." (To be continued.) )
