Chapter 063: Pretending to be a wizard
"I've never seen such a bold and hopeless imp as you!" When Steven whispered for the third time, Alan finally reprimanded in a serious tone, "You're just a third-rate wizard who is a halfway monk, and the devil knows what you used to do, if it's what I've seen, and it's Nipur here, I'll send you to pick up dung or feed the pigs!"
Everyone was sitting around a crackling bonfire, which was located in the side hall of the Frontier Commander, surrounded by the smell of blood, as if to remind the surviving that a tragedy had just happened here last night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Allen, Dark, and Sersi all sat around the fire, and only the thin and short Steven stood aside, his head bowed pitifully, like a criminal who had committed a heinous crime, and was being judged by justice. "He's just saved the Border Guard," Duck reminded with a steaming glass of wine, "and while lying isn't a good thing, it's not a crime." He patted Allen on the shoulder, his voice tired and hoarse, "Man, let him sit down, he doesn't have any bad intentions!"
The aftermath faded into the empty side hall, and a brief silence ensued, except for the sound of Sersi spitting pumpkin seed skins.
"After all, you haven't told me until now why you pretended to be Dalton's servant. When the silence was broken, Eren turned to the red-haired wizard.
"Because everybody is singing the praises of Lord Kenny Dalton. Steven still buried his head deeply, his voice low and sincere, "Not only the Nipurs, but also Assyria and Eli are rumors about him. When my hometown is reduced to an ocean, I just want to come here to get some gold..... Lord Alan Dalton. He raised his head slowly, "If you don't have to, who would sell your reputation and do what you want, this is the most shameful thing a wizard can do!"
"The crows of the world are not ordinary black. Sersi said suddenly. He turned his head to look at the red-haired wizard and his tattered white robe, which had long been tortured by the wind and food. "Boy, if this were Nippel, I'd screw your head off!" he spat the pumpkin seed skin from the tip of his tongue into the fire, "Even if you just saved Mike, you won't be a bastard who forgives Dalton's swagger!"
"Well, both, he's still a kid. Duck put down his glass and yawned.
"Is he a child?" Sersi pushed the blindfold and stared at the Frontier Commander for two seconds with his remaining eye, then turned to the red-haired wizard. "How old are you?" he asked.
"XVI. โ
"Look, he's an adult. Sersi shrugged.
โ..... Two months to go, sixteen. Steven added a late end to what he had just said.
"Look, he's not an adult. Duck smiled heartily, "Alright, forgive him, for the sake of God Namu and the hundreds of knights he rescued." He's a Nipur anyway, and one of you is the head of the Horn Legion and the other is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so there's no need to argue about a yellow-haired boy, right?"
"Commander of the Alliance. Sersi corrected with a tense face.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Duck nodded apologetically, re-picking up the glass on the floor. "What's next?" he asked, holding the warm cup, "where are you going?"
"Of course. Sersi replied without thinking.
"I guess he's in the Dragon's Blood Forest, with the witch. Alan said thoughtfully, "We need to find him as soon as possible, not just us, but the whole of Nipur is waiting for him." He turned his head to look at the red-haired wizard with a face full of grievances, then turned his gaze to the campfire in front of him. "Imp, I ask you. He muttered in a low voice, "How can you tell the truth from what you see in hypnosis?"
"Hug ..... I'm sorry," Steven looked up, "sir, what did you just say?"
"Today, how do you tell me to see the pictures that are authentic and fake. Alan untied the cloak from his shoulders to cover his frozen feet, "I want the answer to be concise and clear, but better not to tell me that you can't do anything about it!"
"Oh!" Steven paced two steps forward, trying to get himself in the Chancellor's sight. "Your Excellency," he said, "if you remember, you can tell the truth from the things around you, if you have seen them, or if they are familiar..... Anywayโ"
"Tell me directly, are those images real?" Alan interrupted him yelling.
"My lord, to be honest, I'm not very good at hypnosis. Steven bowed his head and admitted, "It was purely accidental that I was able to learn witchcraft, most wizards have mentors to teach, but I taught myself through some ancient books, so I ..... Sorry!"
"You should have learned to be honest, Steven. Alan said loudly, his words full of dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, my lord....." the red-haired wizard buried his head lower, "I ....."
"Man, what did you see?" Sersi asked softly, "Why do you think the Lord is in the Dragonblood Forest?"
"Guess. Alan replied, "This kid showed me the Dragon's Blood Forest. At the edge of a hill, I saw Kenny, and I felt that we had passed by the pool, and even the bushes around it had grown a virtuous look, and that we had found the cabin on the map, and Kenny's mantle, which showed that he was indeed with the witch. โ
"You see them together?" Sersi asked, incredulity written all over his face.
"I guess the woman Kenny was talking to was Mira Kelline. "There are no witch servants at all, and the one who made White hide his soul is probably the Queen of Assyria." He paused, leaning forward, "Sure, just guessing, but I did see them, talking about something on the edge of a mountain pool.....
"Oh, Namu!" Sersi closed his eyes and threw the remaining pumpkin seeds into the fire, "He must not be there, I don't want to go back to that damn place!"
"I'm afraid we'll have to go back. Alan lifted the cloak from his feet and stood up from the warm fire, "Sir Duck said that he had seen Kenny, and that he was with the Queen, and they were caught in a fire, if nothing else, it was undoubtedly White who did it, and if nothing else, it was undoubtedly White who did it, and if it were you, where would you go next?" he looked down at Sercy's bald head, and before his companion could reply, he opened his mouth again, "It must be back to the Dragon's Blood Forest, since the witch's cabin is in the forest, she must be very familiar with her surroundings, andโ"
"You'd better calculate how many men White sent after them. Sersi interrupted him, "Don't forget, even the two of us, our lord is not stupid, even me, I will not go back to the forest!"
"It's dark under the lights, man. Alan tied the wolf-print cloak back over his shoulder, "The most dangerous places are often the safest. โ
