Chapter 36: Conversation

Russell was not careless, but still kept his distance from the old man, blocking in front of the cuckoo and staring at him, and then, looking at his companions and asking them to come to support, Russell was shocked to find that the rest of the people didn't seem to notice the arrival of the old man, who should eat, who should chat, completely ignored Russell's call.

The old man saw Russell, who was nervous and confused, and explained with a laugh: "Child, don't bother to call, your companion can't hear anyone who can't see our conversation, and I have no ill intentions when I come here." ”

Russell did not believe him, but continued to be on guard. The old man shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and he was at the cuckoo's side in an instant, and Russell didn't see his movements clearly at all. With his sword still in front of him, he was already behind him. Seeing the elusive old man, Russell oozed cold sweat.

The old man didn't care about Russell's nervousness, and sat directly next to the cuckoo to observe her injuries. After looking at it for a while, he picked up the cane on his body and began to chant some words, and the cane emitted a peaceful white light slightly.

Russell then noticed that this old man had a cane similar to the old woman's monster shape before, or should it be called a staff, what is the origin of this old man!

After a few minutes, Russell keenly noticed that the wounds on the cuckoo's body, which were not too serious, began to heal slowly, and even saw that granulations had grown on the wounds and gradually closed.

Just as Russell was amazed by the old man's magic, the old man stood up with a slight gasp, and the light on his staff also dissipated, apparently he stopped healing.

Seeing this, Russell said anxiously: "Master, why don't you treat the cuckoo?"

The old man looked at Russell playfully and said, "What's the matter, young man, you called me master as soon as I could treat her?"

Russell was a little ashamed, he had wrongly blamed him before, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, master, I was a little suspicious because I was chased by the enemy before, I really blame you, and please use your strength to cure this beautiful young lady!"

The old man held his staff, shook his head, and said, "I have some restrictions here, and I can't use all my magic powers, I can treat this young lady's small injury, but I can't treat her arrow wound right now." ”

Russell heard the meaning of the old man's words and asked, "Master, you said that you should treat it immediately, so you have a way to cure it?"

The old man touched his beard and smiled: "Of course, but I want to take her away, so that I can have the conditions to cure her, as far as I know, even in that city called St. Caron, there is no doctor who can necessarily cure her, I don't know if you agree with my idea?"

Russell looked at the sleepy, sweaty cuckoo, looked at the old man who was staring at him, and slowly nodded and agreed to his request: "Okay, the premise is that you cure her." ”

"Of course, trust me Russell, I'm not a bad person!" the old man laughed.

"What, how do you know my name?" Russell was a little surprised.

"Haha, I'll tell you the truth, I noticed you when I met the monsters in the village, Russell, you really surprised me, you command the team to advance and retreat in a certain way, you have a wisdom that I can't fathom, and you also have the courage that ordinary people can't hold, and you act righteously, what an interesting young man!"

Russell was a little embarrassed by his praise, but he was also surprised that the old man could know what they had done recently, and asked, "Master, who are you?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, "Russell, forgive me for secrecy now, it is not necessarily a good thing for you to know, I can assure you that I will definitely tell you my true identity in the future." ”

Russell was stunned, and the old man smiled and comforted: "There is an unknown to have an expectation, by the way, I can tell you my name, listen well, my name is Augustus." ”

When he had finished explaining, the old man looked up at the sky and said to Russell, "Young man, it is nearly midnight, do you see the brightest star? It's time for me to go, don't forget to take this sword with you, this thing will keep you safe. ”

With that, the old man's staff pointed, and the short sword flew out from the cuckoo's side and slowly landed in Russell's hand.

Augustus pointed to the short sword and said: "This sword is called Dawn, an artifact that should not exist in this world, and it is also a coincidence of fate that it fell into your hands, so you are its owner, and this sword belongs to you now!"

Without waiting for Russell to reply, the old man took out a crystal from his robe, he threw it forward, and suddenly a reflection of the lake appeared in front of him, the old man's staff squatted on the ground, the cuckoo suddenly floated, the old man looked back at Russell, beckoned to him, and said, "Let's go." Then he took the cuckoo and slowly walked into the reflection and disappeared in front of Russell.

Russell looked at the morning light in his hand, his heart was up and down, he never thought that there was such an existence in the world, and he had never had such a magical experience in his previous life. Russell hammered his head and cleared the distractions in his mind, so far, finding out the truth is the right thing to do.

Carter looked at Russell standing aside suspiciously, and asked, "Russell, what are you doing there? Come and drink some wine to warm up, eh, by the way, where did she run to Cuckoo!"
