Chapter 8: Like a new life
The scene in front of him was distorted, and the feeling of dizziness instantly surged into Gu Yuan's brain, and his eyes were blurred. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Contract...... has been signed, then...... Mr. Gu Yuan is looking forward to our next meeting. "The devil's voice is a little distorted, like a broken gramophone, intermittently hoarse, not like a human voice, maybe that's what it sounded like?
The bottom of his butt suddenly emptied, Gu Yuan sat on the ground with his buttocks, and fixed his eyes to see that the chair and the big table before had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even the clearing around the original area grew trees, weeds, and fused with the forest, as if everything before was their own illusion, if it weren't for the corpses in the distance. And the location of the original blood-red stone, a small cloud of pitch-black smoke quickly dissipated there.
Turning around, he found that several people were still frozen in place as if time had stood still, and even their expressions were motionless, and the same was true of the surrounding leaves and grasses, Gu Yuan stared at the smoke that was gradually dissipating.
"Goodbye. A distorted and strange voice came out of the mist, and the fog dissipated, leaving no trace in place. Gu Yuan suddenly felt the wind passing over his face, the world recovered from stillness, and in an instant, a hearty feeling spread throughout Gu Yuan's body. The world suddenly became clearer, the leaves and branches blown by the wind, the few crawling insects in the grass, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, and the cold and damp space, everything that used to be normal now seemed to have become a little different.
"Young Master, Young Master!" Snow Thorn's anxious voice sounded behind her, and she hurriedly ran towards Gu Yuan, who was sitting on the ground: "Young Master, why are you sitting on the ground." ”
When Snow Thorn held Gu Yuan's shoulders and wanted to lift him up, Gu Yuan recovered from this mysterious and mysterious wonderful realm, is this the talent that the devil gave him, is this what those geniuses were within reach when they were born?
Snow Thorn looked at Gu Yuan, who was sitting on the ground in front of him and thinking about something, and his eyes seemed to have become beautiful.
Snow Thorn stretched out his arm to help Gu Yuan up, and Gu Yuan smiled at Snow Thorn to signal that he was fine.
At this time, Leo also ran towards him, his bald head covered with beads of sweat: "Mr. Gu Yuan, is he okay?"
"I'm fine, Mage Leo. ”
Gu Yuan said with a smile at Leo, while looking at Amy behind her, who was staring at the corpse of the girl that the tentacle monster had turned into, with an incomprehensible expression on her face. He will pick up the body of the crow on the side again. He seemed to sense that he was being watched, and glanced towards Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan immediately staggered his gaze, and his heart was shocked, so sharp intuition. But why didn't Amy come to trouble herself? weren't even a few people surprised by the drastic change in the environment?
Leo looked at the girl's corpse and said with palpitations: "I didn't expect this strange monster to turn into a human appearance after death, and the old brother is also ......."
Leo's voice suddenly scowled slightly, and he put his hood back on, as if he didn't want to see his expression.
"Mr. Gu Yuan, I'm very sorry for this escort mission...... If it weren't for our emotional affairs, we wouldn't have put you in such a dangerous situation. We will continue to escort you to the ...... of the Black Furnace City You will not be paid...... You can also report an example of our mission to the Mercenary Guild. I'm sorry."
"Master Leo is serious, you also wanted to protect your companions at that time...... It's just that the ancient crow mage has been, and the leo mage please mourn, people can't be resurrected after death. Gu Yuan sighed, the devil seemed to have used some means to change the part of the devil in the memories of several people.
Leo nodded and walked over to Amy. After a few words with Amy, he took a bottle and took out some of the blood of the tentacle girl on the ground. A few people trimmed it up and got back on the road.
It became a lot duller along the way, and several people didn't talk without a word like before. Amy became even more speechless, and the occasional wild boar and wolf pack were all slipped into meat puree by her catharsis. Gu Yuan has been studying his talent that has been changed by the devil, first of all, his body has become stronger, he has been walking for so long, he has not felt tired at all, and in addition, his eyesight seems to have become better, and he has no other feelings.
I don't know how long the night has been quiet, Leo used to find a few dry branches and used magic to light the bonfire, after a few people ate a simple and rough dinner, they squatted around the bonfire and no one spoke, Raven Gu's body was placed next to the ancient tree not far away, and the body was constantly frozen by Leo to prevent decay.
The atmosphere was silent and quiet, and Amy stared at the burning flames with her greatsword in her arms, a little fascinated by what she was thinking. Leo was sprinkled with strange plant debris that kept mosquitoes and beasts away. Snow Thorn seemed to be a little tired from the day's rush and attack, and after a while, he fell asleep against Gu Yuan and fell into Gu Yuan's arms. Gu Yuan looked at the sleeping face of the girl in his arms, feeling the warm touch, and was afraid to wake up the girl without moving away.
After Leo finished scattering those strange plant debris, he returned to the campfire and glanced at Gu Yuan and Snow Thorn, who were in an ambiguous posture, and looked away a little embarrassed, and said to Amy: "Amy, you came to keep vigil in the middle of the night, is it okay." ”
Amy nodded and didn't speak, stroking the sword in her hand and not knowing what she was thinking.
Leo turned away from the campfire, and found a secluded and open place to close his eyes and meditate, but he couldn't get into the state for a long time.
Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the starry sky quietly, the silver-white moon hung high in the sky, almost twice as big as the earth.
Not only can he now cancel his original plan to go to Aoguang City in the north, but he also has to stay away from the Holy See's sphere of influence as much as possible. At the same time, it is also necessary to convert your talents into strength as soon as possible.
Compared to a profession where a warrior needs to practice swordsmanship moves, condense battle energy, and exercise his physique, a magician who relies more on talent is suitable for his current self.
There are many detailed classifications of becoming a mage, just like a warrior, for example, Leo is an elemental mage, which is also the most extensive mage class on the Obsidian Continent.
Although they are called elemental mages, most elemental mages only major in two or three elemental magics, and elemental mages who are proficient in all elements are rare geniuses.
In addition, there are Arcane Mages, second only to Elemental Mages in terms of breadth, but their training methods are very different. As well as the relatively rare summoning mage, spirit mage, nature mage, necromancer and countless other mage professions.
