Chapter 25: Meet Oda Again
When White Night regained some strength and got up from the ground, Patalem was still on his knees panting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Are you hurt, Master?"
There was a hint of anger in Bai Ye's tone, more like a question than concern. The spell called "Ghost Hand Vine" summoned by Patrium a few days ago can still entangle the heavenly evil that has not yet gone completely crazy, but now it can't support the weight of the two children, what is the old guy doing?
"I'm fine, I just need a break. Partlem said exhaustedly, the ghost hand vine spell seemed to drain the old man's remaining life force, he was now as thin and haggard as a skeleton, his sparse white hair was wet against his wrinkled forehead, a pair of cloudy eyes staring blankly at a place in the darkness, and the corners of his twitching mouth were still stained with spitting slime.
When Bai Ye saw the old man like this, that anger was all transformed into a kind of pity. In any case, if it weren't for Patlem, he would have been dragged off the cliff together, and not only did he have no right to blame him, but he should also be thankful for him. A legendary wizard would have the appearance he has now, if he had been put on the back, he would not have imagined it for another fifty years.
"You need a bed, Master, let me carry you down the mountain. ”
White Night knelt in front of the old man, stretched out his hand and let Patrium wrap his arms around his shoulders, and then stood up, it felt like he was about to carry an empty sack, and the old man had little weight.
"My cane, I can't pull it off...... My cane. ”
"No problem. ”
Bai Ye pulled up the wooden staff that was inserted on the ground, the body of the wooden staff had strange lines, and there was a slight electric shock to the touch, and although the stone embedded in the top of it was not good-looking, there seemed to be something in it flowing under the stone shell.
Before leaving the cliff, White Night took one last look at the empty cliff. Amis said it was called Sentinel Cliff and that he could see the whole of Grey Raven from above, but he didn't tell him that it was no different than seeing a piece of. If you can accept that you are a buzzing fly, you can live well in this-like place. But Amis, he doesn't want to live like a fly, what to say, his dream of being a butterfly, pure and beautiful, has its own meaning and value.
That's why he can't live, at least not in this place.
Bai Ye walked down the mountain with a wooden staff and Patalem on his back, and after walking a short distance, he met a familiar figure, a soul rider dressed as a samurai, Oda was expressionless on his dark face at the moment, he nodded to Bai Ye, and then took Patalem over.
"Go back to your lodgings, and don't sleep yet, for I'll look for you later." ”
Odda instructed White Night, and then stood there without saying a word, holding Patrium in his arms, motionless. Bai Ye hesitated to say something, didn't they go down the mountain, or did they just not plan to go down with him? But when the words came to his lips, Bai Ye still didn't say it, he just left silently alone.
Behind him, Patlem suddenly gasped and muttered, "I remembered, I could have used the levitation technique to save that child, but I can't remember...... I ......"
The old man didn't say a complete sentence again, only the coughing sound was getting farther and farther away.
After returning to the room, Bai Ye lay on the bed, his mind blank. He felt tired, but drowsiness never seemed to come. It was about two hours before Odda entered the room in silence.
For a moment, the two just looked at each other silently.
"You're recovering well, well. Oda said suddenly.
"I thought you'd throw a tantrum and scold me. ”
"Why do you think that?"
"Because of the way you just looked, I know you care about Master Patrium a lot, and he almost took half his life to save the spell he put on me, is he feeling better now?"
"Master he has a noble and kind soul," said the Soul Envoy, "You too, I heard that you almost died trying to save a child, this is a noble act, when I went down the mountain to buy some daily necessities, I didn't expect you to be there, I am glad that the Master was able to arrive in time to lend a hand." But forgive me for not laughing right now, because Master Patalem, so to speak, has taken a lot of risks for this, especially since the last few days have been a very, very critical period for him, he should have been lying in bed and resting, and he should never have used any spells, and I was worried about that. ”
"Is he sick?" Bai Ye wondered, "Since the last time I saw him, it seems to be ten years old all of a sudden, I mean, even though he originally looked old enough." ”
Oda sighed heavily: "From a certain point of view, what you said is not wrong, the situation here is a bit complicated, I, as a guard, I am afraid I have no right to tell you the specific situation, but please rest assured, this 'condition' will slowly improve." I would like to remind you that the White Night, the matter of Master Patalem living on the mountain, is never mentioned to anyone. We have created several false messages that he is heading south, or that he has set out eastward towards the White Forest, in the hope that the enemies of the Master will be confused and unable to find our true location. You also know that the current state of the master may not be able to deal with even a wizard apprentice. ”
"I can tell the difference, don't worry. Bai Ye said cautiously
"I know I can trust you, brother. ”
Odda patted Bai Ye's shoulder heavily, then turned to leave. As he walked out of the room, he suddenly turned around and said, "I remember the last time you left, you told me that your rescue of Patrium was an accident, not some heroic act. You also say that there is nothing in your soul. ”
Bai Ye was a little stunned, but he nodded anyway.
"If I were a pure Shadow Land warrior, I'd answer you on the spot, you're just sentimental, boy, you're talking all. Odda whispered, "But, as a soul master, I must carefully answer every topic related to the soul, and I have carefully considered what you have said in the past few days. I have to tell you that it's not who you are, it's what you do. A lot of people may have a strong heart, but they just hesitate, and you wouldn't call that kind of person a hero. When you feel like your soul is empty, maybe it's just because you can't look at your soul at all. ”
"What does that mean?"
"It took me a few days to come up with these words, so don't embarrass me anymore. ”
