Chapter 402: The Flame
After listening to Qiao Liang's words, Lin thought about it seriously, and then took out his magic staff from the straw pile all over the ground and handed it to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" "Since this staff is specially made by Nina, it looks different from ordinary staffs, quite simple, so Qiao Liang has always thought that this is an ordinary firewood, and the day before, he didn't even understand why Lin Du fainted, and he still held on to this branch.
Lin smiled, and then slightly injected some mana into the staff. The basic magic circle on the staff instantly began to transmit the initiating light in turn, and Qiao Liang was stunned.
"Try it!" Lin said.
Qiao Liang reacted at this time, Lin turned out to be a mage!
"What are you doing? Give it a try! Lin urged again.
Qiao Liang took the staff a little distracted, this was the first time he had touched the magic weapon with his own hands!
Somehow, after getting the magic weapon, Qiao Liang, who had been acting quite indifferent before, actually showed a little shyness. He carefully held the staff, carefully confirmed the basic magic circle on it, and began to try to inject power into the staff.
A moment later, several basic magic circles corresponding to the staff began to emit light, and a light suddenly shot straight upward, and a hole exploded on the roof in an instant, startling Qiao Liang and Lin.
The torrential rain outside fell from the hole in the roof to the house in an instant, drenching the clothes of both of them.
Qiao Liang's face flushed slightly. He didn't expect that he would make a mistake, so he felt quite embarrassed, so he had to move Lin to a place where it couldn't rain; Lin was a little curious about the hole on the roof, and seemed to be a little reluctant to move his position, but he was forced to the side by Qiao Liang.
This kid has a lot of strength!
Lin looked at Qiao Liang in surprise, and secretly thought: Is he too weak or is this kid too powerful?
Since Lin hadn't spoken all the time, Qiao Liang's face turned even redder. It seems that this kid's self-esteem is quite strong.
So Lin opened his mouth and comforted: "It's actually very good to be able to do it to this level for the first time, so you don't need to feel ashamed." ”
As he spoke, Lin raised his staff and pointed at the hole in the roof, and a rotating magic circle appeared at the entrance of the cave, blocking the hole in an instant.
"Who are you, and why did you fall into the river yesterday?" For some reason, Qiao Liang suddenly thought of this question, so he asked, he was not interested in Lin's origin at all before.
Lin smiled and said, "Because I was in a hurry to go back to the capital, I was climbing the city wall, but I couldn't see clearly in the middle of the night, so I fell into the water." ”
"But it's been raining heavily for the past two days, and in your condition, isn't it too hard to climb the walls in this weather? Do you have a reason to do this? Qiao Liang asked, obviously skeptical of Lin's words.
Unexpectedly, this kid has quite an idea!
Lin replied, "You guessed right. The reason why I chose to enter the city on a rainy day was because in this extreme weather environment, the number of guards patrolling the city is the smallest, so it will be easier for me to blend in. ”
Listening to Lin's words, Qiao Liang couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did you want to get in?" Is there still someone chasing you? ”
"Yes, haven't you heard that there has been a murderer with demonic skills in the vicinity recently?" Lin smiled bitterly, the expression on his face was quite helpless.
Qiao Liang reacted at this time, and the expression on his face instantly became frightened. He subconsciously took two steps back, then stared at Lin's face, his voice trembling a little: "So your eyes ......"
Lin smiled slightly, and then removed the blindfold on his head, so that his right eye was completely exposed in front of Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang's heart beat faster with nervousness. But he finally mustered up the courage and said: "Why do you want to blow up your identity, aren't you afraid that I will report you and then go to receive the reward?" ”
Lin looked into Qiao's eyes and said calmly, "Then do you believe that I am the murderer?" ”
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be calm and said, "I'...... I don't believe it! But ......" Then he was a little nervous and speechless, and he obviously still felt scared in his heart.
Lin stretched out his hand to add a few sticks of firewood to the fire, and said casually: "My eyes are natural, and they are like this when I am born; I'm not a perverted murderer either, and the rumors are spread maliciously by guys I don't deal with well. ”
"Spread maliciously with the guy you don't deal with?" After listening to Lin's answer, Qiao Liang was finally not as nervous as before. He sat down again close to Lin Squat, and said with a mocking expression: "But people don't care what the truth is, and you will be caught and executed immediately." Now the city is full of notices that you are wanted, and everyone is waiting to catch you and claim your reward! ”
"Catch me for the reward? Looks like my life is worth a lot! Lin laughed at himself, a hint of helplessness in his tone. But he quickly regained his composure and said meaningfully, "Then why didn't you report me?" Once you've received the reward, you'll be able to live a relatively easy life. ”
"Hehe, what can I do if I report you? It's just a reward, and I don't know how much I will be defiled by the officials! What comes to me is a small amount of money, it won't change anything at all, nothing will change! The world is like this, there is no hope for this country, in this case, it is better to keep you disgusting and disgusting people! Qiao Liang took the firewood from Lin's hand and inserted it into the fire stiffly, causing the sparks to fly in all directions.
Lin didn't expect Qiao Liang to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. So he asked, "Why do you think this way?" ”
Qiao Liang glanced at Lin and said coldly, "You have been wandering outside the city for a long time, haven't you found it yet?" Everyone has long been numb. The country is already rotten, its grassroots are corrupt, the central government is extravagant, and it only knows how to oppress and exploit the poor and innocent people, resulting in a miasma everywhere, and the people are not able to make a living; The nobles in the upper echelons are all living a life of drunkenness, so who can be willing? ”
"You're right, but the king will change all that......"
"Heh, do you mean the new little king?" Hearing Lin's words, Qiao Liang couldn't help laughing out loud, and said mockingly: "Maybe our young king does have the idea of changing the status quo, but why does he think he can do it?" Now that the aristocracy is in charge of the government, he is just a puppet, and it is already good if he does not provoke the nobles to save his life, can he be expected to make any changes? ”
