Chapter 61: The Eighth Man
In Gallup City, in the small courtyard of the Church of Light, the old man's weak-looking body shook slightly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone here calls him Old Man, and he himself is used to taking Old Man as his name, and as for what it was originally called, it seems that even he himself has forgotten it.
At this moment, he was looking at the memory crystal in his hand, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
"Is it failing again, who is the eighth man, or ...... What is it?"
The old man muttered, looking a little lonely, but he seemed to have thought of this result a long time ago, and accepted it reluctantly.
Not far in front of him, Jerry's eyes were twitching slightly, and he knew that the boy would wake up soon. If he still had expectations for this person, then now with the dimming of the engram, he is no longer in the mood to accompany the other party.
The old man got up to leave, but a word came from front of him that made him stunned for a moment.
"You're the senior magician?"
The old man did not answer, and his body jerked violently, and he was so surprised that he could not be more surprised.
Jerry, who had woken up from his strange state, hadn't noticed this change yet, and asked again, "Senior Magician, what did you just say about the eighth person?"
The old man's body trembled suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head: "What did you say?"
Jerry was taken aback, he had felt that everything was coming to an end in the illusion of memory, which is a setting that many magical illusions will have, so that the person who enters the illusion can be prepared and not hurt the soul when he returns to reality.
But his return seemed a bit abnormal, he was clearly out of that illusion, but he didn't return immediately. Instead, it was like falling into the water, drifting in a hazy state for a long time, until it really returned just now, so it is still a little unconscious.
Jerry didn't answer the old man's question immediately, his first reaction was to feel his body, and he was relieved until he was sure that the Book of Destiny was still well hidden on his body, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly.
The illusion is not reality after all, he lost the book of fate in the illusion, I am afraid that it is only equivalent to him doing it again in the fantasy, but in fact, of course his book of destiny will not be lost.
But why he seemed to influence what happened in the illusion at that time is something Jerry couldn't figure out. However, according to his guess, he is afraid that the father in the real world has used other methods to solve the crisis, and it is even possible that he has not encountered the so-called crisis at all.
And he, naturally, does not exist in that time and space.
It was only then that he remembered what the old man had just said, and that he was still in a daze when he replied, and the other party seemed to have mentioned the "eighth person......
Jerry suddenly came to his senses, and was met by the old man's wrinkled face, and he could hardly imagine how the old man in his twilight could have so much strength, and his hands grabbed his shoulders like pliers.
The old man's face was nervous: "Do you say it again? What do you call me?"
Jerry was taken aback, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "Magician, aren't you the magic weapon master in the Morning Light Adventure Group?"
"Shhhh
It was Jerry who inhaled, but he didn't expect him to say a word, and the old man grabbed it tighter, but fortunately, the other party immediately let go.
"You...... Do you remember?"
The old man looked surprised, but Jerry could see that his eyes, which had been dim, were getting brighter and brighter.
Jerry asked a little strangely, "Of course I'll remember the real illusion, is there anything strange about it?"
"I didn't expect it to be successful......
The old man didn't answer him at all, his face had turned red, and anyone could see how excited he was now.
Excited and nervous, he said to Jerry, "Well, it's great that you remember. Now tell me who you saw in the engram other than the seven of us, and who else appeared next to the dying space-time dragon!"
Now the old man doesn't talk about the ice dragon, since Jerry still remembers that illusion, he must have known that the so-called ice dragon is actually a space-time dragon that has only been recorded in history but almost no one has seen it with his own eyes.
Jerry was stunned, except for the seven people of the Morning Light Adventure Group, if there was anyone else in the memory illusion, it was himself.
He's the eighth person, this old man can't be too old and a little confused, right?
"Of course I don't mean you! I mean the other people in the illusion who appeared when the space-time dragon left!"
The old man knew what Jerry was muttering just by looking at his expression, and before he could say it, he immediately affirmed.
Jerry shook his head decisively and said, "Senior Magician, I haven't met anyone else except for the seven of you. Especially when I saw the Spacetime Dragon, I'm pretty sure there wasn't anyone else. ”
"How could it be ......?"
The old man was stunned, and his eyes were a little more dazed.
Compared to ordinary people, he has experienced too many thrilling and bizarre things in his life, but none of them can compare to the experience that the space-time dragon brought him.
And that adventure brought him not only the glory of five stars, the harvest of wealth and the improvement of strength, but also a strange mystery that had plagued him almost all his life.
When he and his teammates defeated the powerful demon, they finally met the dying space-time dragon in the real world and witnessed each other's death.
The Temporal Dragon's death was completely different from that of ordinary creatures, it didn't have any corpses or anything like that, it was as if it had turned into a cloud of light that was gradually dissipating, and finally disappeared without a trace.
But before that, the Space-Time Dragon left a part of the power it gave to several people in another plane, so that their strength has greatly improved. Although the level of improvement was far less than when they were in another time and space, it also brought them a little closer to the real "five-star master".
It was also after the space-time dragon improved their strength that the dying mysterious dragon said a few strange words. The strangest part of it is that it does not thank just the seven members of the Morninglight Adventure Party, but explicitly says something like "eight brave adventurers".
The stonemasons in the Morninglight Adventure Group are informal, and they don't care about such problems. Even if the knight cared, he wouldn't let people know, and the fun of solving puzzles was only afraid that there was no place where there were delicious snacks, and the princess must have been completely unaware of these details, and she was stunned by the pile of treasures left behind by the space-time dragon like the merchant.
As for the owl, the guy was asleep with a famous, but obviously flashy, blade - the Spacetime Dragon hadn't completely hung up when he did it, so he flicked his tail in line with the Dragonscrooge's character.
He was the only one who noticed this strange place at once, but he didn't get an answer from the space-time dragon. So he immediately made an engram while his memory was still very clear.
