Chapter 84: The Caged Bird
The hair on the maid's forehead was always wet, and it was the fine sweat they secreted under high tension. Feeding and closing, of course, is difficult for a maid who has been engaged in the profession of a subordinate for generations, but this child is of a special nature, and they are equivalent to working with their heads pinned to the waistband of their trousers.
Gu Guo would not embarrass them, he would only cry a few times when they were hungry and pooping and peeing, reminding them that it was time to work, and the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion would inevitably scold them when he heard the baby's crying, and threatening words would always make the maids uneasy.
Gu Guo was quite helpless about this, he couldn't tell them his physical state in a shocking way, which was not in line with his identity as a baby less than a year old.
You must know that in the ancient myths and legends of the Owen continent, there are stories of gods and demons reincarnated. The Transcendent is always jealous of greater supernatural powers, and if he could speak as soon as he was born, Count Ito would immediately have him burned at the stake, and even Monica would be labeled a witch.
No matter how strong the offspring is in magic, it is not as important as their own life.
Gu Guo tried his best to play the character of his baby, and occasionally showed a talent far beyond ordinary people, such as when he learned to crawl at the age of three months, and in the fourth month, he began to look through the treasured books in the library.
In this regard, the earl's and the maids were only babies and had a curiosity about new things, and did not think about other things, but Monica, who accompanied Gu Guo day and night, a young girl who was handpicked by the system, had a different opinion on this.
Once, when Gu Guo was flipping through the history books, he wanted to restore the clues in ancient history by comparing the stories in the Introduction to the Magic Guide, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly when he was thinking.
The maids around don't care how the children react to the books, they just don't let the children roll off the edge of the table, hold the children to the wet nurse when they are hungry, and change into clean diapers when they poop and pee.
However, Monica, who was sitting on the side, asked for no reason: "Can you understand?" ”
Gu Guo, who was thinking, subconsciously turned his head, and when the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, looked at each other, he secretly said that it was not good, and the look of surprise and surprise flashed in his eyes, and then changed to a baby's innocent smile, accompanied by a few vague monosyllables, a pair of small hands danced up and down.
As a mother's instinct, Monica told Monica that she was pregnant and gave birth to flesh and blood, and she did understand her words just now, but it was immediately covered up by the child's pretending to be crazy and stupid.
She rotted this in her belly, and she was obedient to the supernatural who had no powers, Monica would not disobey her father, but she wanted to be the master of her own children.
Although Monica's father always had dirty things with different women, and the nobles would have a lot of sex at drinking parties, she never touched a single man except Enoch.
Without the gift of magic, Monica could only read some biographies of magisters as a child, and her young mind always longed for the happy ending of the story, and the quixotic imitation has been played out countless times in her heart.
The gods gifted her a child, at least for now, the child's words and deeds do not seem to be the heirs of the devil, and the yearning for magic is projected onto the child's body by Monica, and the slight idea of middle two just protects Gu Guo's growth.
After reading the introduction to the magic guide, Gu Guo only dared to absorb the four elemental energies of fire, earth, feng shui, and the attraction of the transformed bloodline to the elements was like a bottomless pit, and the endless devouring made the elemental accumulation in his body extremely huge.
However, the elemental energy had not always been piled up somewhere in his body, and through the circulation of channeling energy learned from the books, the four elements had already completed an incredible strengthening of his young and undeveloped body.
This kind of moisturizing and silent strengthening has lasted for five years, and now Gu Guo is less than one meter two tall, and he is only a head taller than his desk when he stands up, but he is a real great mage, and the destruction magic he controls is even higher than that of Count Ito.
The night was dark and windy, and there was no bright moon in the sky, only an oval ring around the east and west, and the brilliant ice and rock rubble reflected the light of the sun on the back side of the planet.
But Gu Guo couldn't enjoy the alien scenery at this time, because this was the third time he planned to slip out of the Earl's Mansion.
Why is it the third time, because the first two times failed, and the earl's guest qing, that is, the gang of sub-magisters, did not eat dry rice after receiving Ito's gold coins.
The detection and protection circle covering the entire Earl's Mansion was pierced by the elemental energy he had driven, and in an instant, seven black-robed Magisters showed their magical powers, surrounding him from all sides of the mansion, "please" him to go back.
At that time, Gu Guo was only four years old, and even with the blessing of the wind element, a pair of small short legs could not outrun the guests who had been immersed in the Magister realm for many years, and in the face of a situation of one dozen seven, he could not guarantee that he could defeat seven people, not to mention that after a hard battle, many people would definitely die in the mansion.
The first two times he was obediently admitted, but today is different.
Gu Guo, who was dressed in a night robe, borrowed the wind element and moved on the tiles on the roof, but did not make a sound, the protective circle that seemed to the magisters to be leakless was touched by him as early as half a month ago, and through some elemental resonance, he imitated himself like a bird's nest passing by here, and quietly sneaked out.
He shuttles from pavilion to pavilion in the upper city, and his mastery of elemental power combined with his petite stature allows him to hide in places that ordinary people can't imagine. A ghostly child, in the dark night, quietly changed into a beggar costume and dodged into the dark alley.
In the Earl's Mansion, the magic lamp suspended in the air at a height of more than ten meters is releasing the maximum output that its conductive structure can withstand, and the whole building is brightly lit, whether it is a rockery or a corridor with eaves and fences, all of them are illuminated by the warm white light as if it were day.
The knight guards were armed with swords, scurrying around the streets and alleys of the upper city, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find Gu Guo's figure, while the Magister Keqing all opened their elemental visions one by one, hoping to grasp some clues from the remaining elemental energy.
But Gu Guo's magical attainments have long surpassed everyone in Duma, and the use of genetic optimization liquid has not only brought him a magical affinity physique, but also an all-round enhancement, he has stronger strength, faster speed, and an unusual thinking speed.
The genetic potion produced by the system has transformed him into the limit of human-type carbon-based life, plus the enhancement of the four elemental energies, although his body is not fully developed at this time, his agile skills have also reached the realm of second-rate masters in martial arts novels.
Only when he reached those roofs that were more than ten meters away and could not be crossed by the bounce of his legs, would he borrow a trace of the energy of the wind element to soar into the air. However, this energy would dissipate after a few minutes, and by the time the Magus Guests walked through his escape path, there was no trace of the elemental in the air.
