It is not known how the Armenian army passed through the gate, and their men and horses were able to get here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If the soldiers defending the city did not give a signal, the gate was not breached, or that the soldiers had been assassinated. However, in any case, the Armenian army could only do it on this side of the gate, after all, the gate was very high, which was really strange. The comrade-in-arms next to him said.

"It wouldn't be surprising if they used space magic. "I immediately changed my clothes, grabbed my cane, and went out to fight.

Maybe because I didn't have a good rest for the first few days, I was already a little unsteady on my feet, but I forced myself to move, and once I stood still, I was likely to be killed by the enemy.

Out of the camp, there was already chaos outside, and with the dark moon and high wind, it was difficult to see where the enemy was. And this is our army's camp, and casting magic will only be counterproductive. I opened the shield and looked carefully for the enemy commander and General Armstrong.

In the dark night, I could clearly see someone casting magic, because the light of the magic circle was very dazzling, I immediately picked up a sword on the ground to protect myself, and ran in the direction of the light.

In the firelight, one enemy in the crowd could barely be seen dressed differently from the others. I held on and threw a fireball at him. When he saw me, he stretched out his left hand to face the fireball, only to see that his left hand suddenly flashed, and a huge magic array several meters long appeared, and the fireball entered the magic array and disappeared.

"This is your space magic!" I shouted.

"There are magicians in the Othur Kingdom, so it looks like we have to get rid of you. ”

"Then you can try it. ”

He swung his great sword and quickly rushed towards me, and I blocked it with the sword I had just picked up.

"It's not bad, young man, it's a pity you can't stop this move. As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and cast his magic.

I wanted to take a step back and avoid the magic, but staying up late for days did put a huge burden on my body, and I couldn't dodge it. In an instant, I was sent to another place. It is surrounded by mountains and has only a few families in front of you. I took a few steps towards the light, and before I knew it, I fainted because my nerves had relaxed.

When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed.

"You're finally awake. How did you get here? It stands to reason that there should be no road leading here, the road has been blocked for a long time. A young long-haired woman sat down and said to me with a smile. Looking at her innocent eyes, I can't help but think of Lena when I was a child. With her gentle face and slender hands, I couldn't help but feel a little moved. I slowly grabbed her hand, her cheeks flushed slightly. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately withdrew her hand. "You've slept for a day and a night, I'll get you something to eat......" She seemed a little shy and walked away at once.

Anyway, this place is surrounded by mountains, how did the people here survive?

After a while, she brought some dry food and fruit. "That's all I have to entertain you this season, so let's just take a moment. ”

"I was a little rude just now, I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. If only you could wake up. ”

"Anyway, this place is surrounded by mountains, how do you live?"

"Don't look at the small place here, we have Granny Taya. My mother-in-law used a magical crystal to dig a well, and we raised some livestock, cultivated some farmland, and the people here lived comfortably. ”

"Taya...... "I vaguely remembered that the author of Ancient Medicine was a man named Taya Michel.

"Do you know Granny Taya?"

"yes, she wrote the book I was carrying. I want to see her. ”

"Okay, but you eat something first. You were found with only a book, a cane, and a broken sword, and you must have been at war. Eat something to replenish your stamina first. ”

"Eh, don't you know Armenia?"

"Armenia?

Probably, since there is no way here, no one should bring them news from the outside.

"By the way, what's your name. ”

"My name is Nina. What about you?"

"My name is Eric. ”

After eating, I got dressed, and Nina went to find Granny Taya.

Knock knock knock -

"Granny Taya, a guest is coming. ”

"Guest?" squeak—the door opened, and a kind middle-aged woman stepped out. "Are you?" she asked, looking at my clothes, "Are you the Count of Othur, what are you doing with me?" she looked a little surprised.

"Granny Taya, yesterday morning I found him lying at my door, so I carried him into my house to rest. “

"You're Taya Michelle, I've read your Ancient Medicine, and I have some questions for you. ”

"Then come in and talk. ”

Her house is very similar to Nina's, it is very simple, and it makes people feel very reassured.

I told her about what had happened.

"So there's so much going on outside. Nina was a little surprised.

"Well, Armenia hasn't changed, and neither has King Othur. But it's rare to see someone as young and promising as you, and no one in our time has ever discovered that such magic can be cast with crystals. ”

"You've won a prize. ”

"Still, if you're delving into magic for the sake of this country, I'd advise you to change your mind. ”

"I just like research, I just like new things. If magic could really benefit humanity, it would be great. ”

"But there are a lot of people who are playing with the idea of magic. For example, King Othur. ”

"King Othur?"

"He appeared to be a good king, but in reality he was a man who would do whatever it took to achieve his ends. When his father was on the throne, he used all his tactics to get his father to abdicate and become king himself. Although the situation of the Kingdom of Osher under his rule is indeed better than the original, it is not known how many people have been sacrificed in exchange. I only heard about it later, so I suffered too. ”

"No wonder......," I thought about Mars, and I had some doubts about King Othur telling me the truth, but I had unconsciously trusted him. Maybe I can't approve of his approach now.

"Although Armenia wanted to attack us early on, it was because the previous king was too dull to help Armenia, but after King Osser's coronation, he still did not help Armenia, thinking that sooner or later he would be able to bring down Armenia. After all, the environment in Armenia is a bit harsh and the resources are insufficient, but because of this, the soldiers of Armenia are also well-trained, especially the Armenia is rich in Assassins, if it weren't for the unsuitable passage of New Zer for Assassin operations, our army would have been defeated long ago. ”

"However, Armenia has recently mastered spatial magic, and their assassins can easily sneak up on the barracks, and I was also sent here by spatial magic. By the way, did anyone before me suddenly appear like me?"

"You're the first in decades. ”

"Hmm...... That probably means that their spatial magic is still very unstable. We still have a chance. ”

"But, it seems, you don't know space magic, how do you get out of here?"

I was stunned. There doesn't seem to be a good way. The possible way is to build an ice wall and put myself on top of it, but the surrounding mountains seem to be very high, and even if the ice wall is higher than the mountain, I have to build ice down the mountain, and it is hard to say that I can hold on. The only way to do this is to be in the soup.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you get out or not, I still want to know about the relationship between crystals and life energy. ”

"Hmm. When I was younger, my colleagues and I discovered that crystals could affect the manifestations of life, such as healing wounds and so on. However, the amount of crystals at that time was very small, and this technique was only understood by a few of us, so this discovery had little impact at the time. But King Osser, thinking it was good, set up a research institute for us in a hidden mountain village next to the Neuzer Pass, which was the only way to get here, and there was only a path from the direction of the Neuzel Pass. King Othur wants the research we receive to support the front line immediately. But we didn't expect that it was actually because King Osser's research didn't think that our research was useful, and could only be used to heal small wounds, so he put us far away to do research. Maybe it's because the method of constructing magic at the time was too simple, and the healing effect was very weak, but after all, it was the beginning of research. Later we discovered that crystals can change the form of Earth Dragons when they are eggs. This is also a relatively fortunate discovery. At that time, there was a front-line earth dragon that came to our institute, and we took it in, and then it hatched eggs, and one of the eggs touched the crystal, and it turned out that the earth dragon was born completely different from the other earth dragons, and the earth dragon had wings, so we continued to do research. We infuse the crystal's natural energy with multiple eggs in different ways, and the Earth Dragons that hatch not only have wings, but also breathe fire and survive in water. These little guys are very close to people, and Nina had a good relationship with them when she was a child. ”

"Well, they're cute. Nina said with a smile, but there was a slight glint of tears in her eyes.

"These little ones are growing up fast, and within a few months they are as big as people. But one day, a group of people appeared here, and we fought against them, but they killed many of our companions, and Nina's parents lost their lives. At this moment, the fire-breathing dragon of the institute rushed out and burned them all to death, but the dragon also went berserk, burned the institute and all the houses, and finally blew up the mountains on both sides of the road, and stones fell to block the road, and the village was isolated from the rest of the world. And the dragons in those institutes also flew away. ”

"It's no wonder that fire dragons have only appeared in recent decades...... However, the sudden appearance of the group, I suspect it was the Armenian Army, because they have spatial magic, and maybe the magic was unstable in one of the experiments, and they teleported here. However, there is no conclusive evidence to be able to determine. ”

"None of that matters anymore. After that incident, I was the only one left who knew this knowledge. Later, I discovered that the truth of healing magic is somewhat similar to the way of mutating the earth dragon, as long as you master the energy structure of people, you can make the wound repair according to people's imagination. However, it is worth mentioning that other animals do not use the energy of crystals to mutate like Earth Dragons, and perhaps Earth Dragons are magical creatures. ”

"Sure enough, you are talking about more knowledge than what is written in the book. ”

"Well, I left that book when I was passing through the city of New Zel, hoping that someone would find out more from our research, which is probably similar to what you think now. But today, these achievements do not benefit more people, but can only be used by us. ”

Knowing this, I feel refreshed, and a heart settlement is unraveled. Maybe the world really has nothing to do with me, I'm locked up here, I don't think about everything anymore, I do research here, and I can live the rest of my life.

"Eric, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Hey, I can't help it, just like you, stay here forever. ”

"But there's no hotel or anything like that. After that incident, people all rebuilt their houses, but they were all built according to the number of people, so there were no extra houses......"

"It doesn't matter, it's quite lonely for me to live alone, he lives in my house, after all, I picked it up. Nina wiped the tears from her eyes and said with a smile. But...... It's really not a good fit for me...... I live in a girl's house, although Lena and I are also under the same roof, but ...... Can...... But I don't have a good way, they probably don't agree to sleeping on the streets, I'll just take a moment and sleep on the ground, after all, Nina took care of me before, and I probably haven't slept well in the past two days.

"Then he'll leave it to you, Nina. Seeing him like this, he probably can't take good care of himself. After all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and it is completely incomparable to the aristocratic family before him. ”

"Well, wrap it up on me~"

Suddenly, I saw the shadows of my mother and Lena in them, and I thought that Lina might still be grieving, but I couldn't do anything.

Saying goodbye to Granny Taya, Nina and I went back to her house.

"Have you lived alone for many years?" I couldn't help but be a little curious, and by the way, I changed the subject to avoid the embarrassment I didn't want to think about.

"Yes, I've been living alone since my parents died. Originally, Granny Taya wanted me to live with her, but at that time I wanted to be quiet by myself, so I refused. ”

"You're amazing. I have a sister about your age, and she is also very delicate, although she usually seems to be very aggressive. I think you're a lot like her, you look calm on the surface, but you're surging on the inside. ”

"Yes, it's the first time anyone has said that about me. The people in the village say that I am strong, but I think that the past is over, and people still have to live well, right?"

These words pierced my heart like an awl, and I remembered that night when my sister and I sat under the pillars of Orser College for hours. In order for us to live, I have also found a strong power, and I hope that this power can make more people happy.

I didn't talk to Nina again, maybe I needed to calm down.

After dinner, she fell asleep, and I had nothing to do, so I lay down. I lay on the ground, looking at the moonlight through the window, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad. At this time, I could vaguely hear Nina's sobbing, and although she was covered with a quilt, I still found her. Maybe the conversation with Granny Taya reminded her of the sad things, and I felt a little sad in my heart. Picking up the pendant around my neck, thinking about that night, the same moonlight, or the same sobbing, I felt more and more like my sister. After losing her parents, she became helpless, and as you can imagine, she spent countless nights like this.

I got up and walked over to her and hugged her. She poked her head out, still sobbing. I whispered: "Armenia also attacked the city of Domir, and my sister lost her favorite person because of it, and it was also a night like this that she cried like you. To me, you are like her, and like my sister. If you're really sad, it's better to cry. She burst into tears.

Maybe I should use the magic I do best to bring happiness and security to Nina. If magic doesn't bring happiness to those around me, what about other people? Maybe I should think about the rest of my life.

Of course, I still hope that magic can make more people happy, and this may be the meaning of my life. Not only the people around me, but I think there are many more people who are suffering because of the endless war between the kingdom of Oshur and Armenia. Maybe what Mars was looking forward to was exactly what I was looking forward to. I really can't appreciate the preciousness of peace without pain, and I have to work harder. But now, I can't go back to the sky, I was trapped in this deep mountain and old forest first, even if I live a life like a peach blossom spring, I can never erase my hope in my heart, and it is right not to give up. Magic has become the most powerful force for me, and if I can be like the magicians of Armenia and figure out how to implement space magic, I can change all that.
