The warm fire crackled, and Kenny was half-reclined in his thick pine chair, his eyes closed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For a moment, he felt like he was in a long dream, in which a lot of familiar and unfamiliar people appeared.

He saw his father, the old military man with the same beard, and he didn't want to wake up, but the sound of chanting made the long dream fall apart, and gradually turned into a white wilderness.

He opened his eyes, feeling very comfortable, as if he had slept for a century, he pressed the pine armrest and straightened his body, a light gray ratskin velvet blanket slipped from his body, everything in front of him gradually became clear, Eugene sat on a bench, his eyes slightly closed, his jaw trembled slightly, chanting the Sanskrit scriptures.

"How long have I been asleep..... Kenny asked, rubbing his neck and in a hoarse voice.

"Lord, it's already afternoon. Aiden replied by stooping down and picking up the fleece blanket on the floor.

Kenny got up and walked to the window, letting the sunlight shine directly on his face, the warmth clearing his brain a little.

He turned around, Alan was sitting at the long table playing with his dagger, and Sercy was asleep on the table, and he remembered that this was the side hall of the Great Hall, and he had suddenly fallen asleep while waiting for Eugene.

"I'm sorry, Elder Eugene, but I've been waiting. Kenny said apologetically.

Eugene's jaw stopped fluttering as Kenny's words stopped, and the chanting died down, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kenny. "My lord, do you feel very comfortable?" he asked in a low voice.

"As you said," Kenny looked down at Eugene, "it's strange, it's been a long time since I've felt like this, feeling like I've slept for a century, I think it might have something to do with you chanting here." He walked over to the edge of his chair and sat down, "You should already know what happened in the prison, right?"

"Yes, my lord. Your own soldiers have already taken me to see Patton's body, as you described earlier. Eugene replied.

"All three of us were here last night. Kenny tapped lightly on the table after saying that, Selsey squinted and looked up from the table, Kenny continued, "That wizard disguised himself as a guard, he killed Barton with sorcery in front of Selsey, as you can see, the method is the same as before, it must be the same person, so I want you to think of a way"

Kenny rests his left hand on the table, tapping lightly on the pine table, waiting for Eugene to reply.

"My lord, I think I've made it clear to you before," Eugene raised his eyes slightly to look at Kenny, "Regarding the Eye of Dreams, I was here to repay the favor of Head Selcy, as for this ....."

"Elder Eugene. Kenny interrupted Eugene with a change of seat, "May I remind you that the future of Nippur is at stake, not just my safety, or Selsey's, and if we don't find the one who caused the trouble as soon as possible, anyone could be the next victim, including you." ”

Eugene sat on a bench against the wall, his hands flat on his knees, his face calm. "Lord Kenny, I would also like to remind you that this matter is not recorded in the Monk's Duty Manual, and even if I have a good personal relationship with Master Sercy and am willing to help you, that ancient book will take a long time to translate. ”

"Elder Eugene. Sersi rubbed his sleepy eyes, "I want to digress," he glanced at Kenny, then turned his gaze to Eugene, "Lord Kenny is different from Barton, maybe you don't know it yet, there is no slave in Nippur anymore, my lord, he just revoked the slave order yesterday afternoon, you should probably go to the slum and see what the people there have to do about him." Believe me, this is by no means a slap in the face, he deserves to be respected, and it is worth making an exception for him. ”

Eugene took his hands off his knees, then slowly stood up from the bench. "My lord, as far as I know, there are no translators of ancient texts in Nippur, and if I were to translate that book, it would probably take a long time.....," he paused, glancing at Allen's jacket pocket, "..... But I've never seen Captain Sersi say this about a person like this, maybe it's time to make an exception for you. Tomorrow morning, I hope you will come to the monastery in person, and I will do my best to translate that chapter to you. He stood up and bowed slightly to Kenny.

"Thank you. Kenny said softly, and then he turned back, "Aiden, help me send Elder Eugene back to the seminary." ”

Eugene saluted the crowd again, and then walked out of the side hall of the council hall.

"I've never seen such a stubborn guy," Alan said disdainfully as Eugene left, "if it weren't for Sercy's obstruction, I would have blown his head off." ”

"Hey!" Sercy said with a slight displeasure, "he saved your life." ”

"That's one of the reasons why I didn't do it," Alan poked the dagger on the table, "The old man just said that he was just here to repay your favor." I can't figure out why you're socializing with that kind of guy....."

'Bang-'

A muffled thud interrupted Alan's words. Kenny's palms rested on the table, and Sersi and Allen's eyes looked at the maker of the sound at the same time.

"I don't want to hear anything like Lawrence's tone. Alan said as he looked at Kenny's serious eyes.

"No, it's not, something suddenly comes to mind. Kenny returned to his usual gaze and looked at Alan. "Do you remember Guardian?" he asked suddenly.

"Guardian?" Alan reached out and stroked his forehead, "Remember, the alchemist of the Iron Hoof Legion, who refused to swear allegiance to you after Sam's death, but you relented. What's wrong?"

"Oh, damn it!" Celsey chimed in, "The fall of the Ironhoof Legion has something to do with you, too? Why haven't you ever heard of it? The Oxhorn Legion has been rumored to have punished them with the Namu gods, and it turns out ....."

"Shut up!" Alan slapped the table vigorously and threw a sharp look at Serci before turning his gaze to Kenny, "Why did you mention him all of a sudden? What do you mean .....?"

The elegant wizard came to Alan's mind, and he pursed his lips, remembering everything that had happened, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"It's a coincidence, but it's unlikely. Alan muttered to himself.

Kenny looked at Alan with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "I've been thinking about the identity of the caster since Eugene helped me unlock the Dream Eye. As Aiden walked past me, I suddenly had a strange feeling as if this had happened somewhere. I remember the first time I went to the Horned Cavalry, and at lunch Taylor invited me to his tent, and I vaguely remember a soldier with gauze wrapped around his face pouring me wine, and from that day on, my memory has been disrupted....."

"Did you ask anything when you interrogated Taylor on the night of the coup?" asked Allen.

Kenny frowned and thought for a moment. "All Taylor said was that someone had told him in advance that I would approach him, and then he was a mess of blood....."

Alan's eyes became trance-like, his gaze wandering between the dagger and the wine glass on the table, as if it were real.

Then, he looked up at Kenny, "I don't think that guy with a good demeanor is a man who can possess evil sorcery, but the inside and the outside are two different things, just like Barton told you." ”

"Hey!" Celsey interjected again, "You saw Barton before I went, and why did you come back?"

Kenny stopped tapping on the table, and Alan pulled the dagger off the table, looking at Sersi thoughtfully.

"I think I seem to get it. Sersi lowered her head in disappointment, her eyes full of disappointment. (To be continued.) )
