Chapter 7: Shock

"Grandpa Edwin is the old man who brings us food every day! No, the old man gave us the food! Aunt Caroline, why did you forget?" asked Eric a little worriedly.

"Well, there's such a person? You don't play with your Aunt Caroline, do you? Didn't you take all this food from the kitchen? Didn't you say you were in charge of your kitchen?"

Eric felt that things were a little strange, and he stopped arguing with Aunt Caroline, because Aunt Caroline's face didn't look like she was joking.

Putting down the food in his hand, Eric said to Caroline, "I'm full, Aunt Caroline, you can rest early, I'll go talk to those sailors." ”

Now the sailors on the Jackal know that Eric is not a fool and can talk. As a result, everyone's interest in Eric grew, and every time we were together, someone would ask Eric questions of one kind or another.

One of the most asked questions was why he didn't like to talk before, and whether he was secretly learning their fighting skills on the side. Eric's answer to this was simple: he had a throat injury, and it was difficult to speak.

As for stealing combat skills, Eric smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.

At this time, the sailors who had said that Eric had secretly learned his best tricks patted Eric on the shoulder like elders and said, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that my best combat skills would be so powerful in your hands, come, I'll teach you a few more times." ”

Whenever this happens, Eric also accepts it humbly as if he is playful, and pretends to be suddenly enlightened and admired. It made the sailors very happy.

"By the way, Jack, where is that old Edwin man?" As if he had no intention of doing so, Eric asked the fat sailor sitting next to him.

The fat sailor gave himself the nickname 'Sea Shark'. Eric felt that there was no place on the other party's body that could be connected to the ferocious sea creature of the sea shark except for the bloody mouth.

"Edwin, or the old man, which one is he?" Like Aunt Caroline, Jack looked at Eric with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, maybe I'm mistaken, oops, I don't remember the name, isn't there an old man named Edwin on the ship?" Eric patted his forehead, feigning annoyance.

Not only Jack, but several other sailors also said that there was no such person on board. At this time, even with Eric's courage, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Did you meet a ghost?

With this doubt, Eric walked towards his cabin.

When he opened the hatch with a frown, he saw Edwin, the short-bearded old man with white who had brought him food and wizard potions, sitting on his bed.

Aunt Caroline was sleeping peacefully in her bed.

And then something completely upended Eric's perception happened. Edwin pushed his palm into the air towards Eric, and Eric's body involuntarily floated in the air, and then Edwin's palm flipped over, and Eric immediately felt that he was pressed to the bulkhead by an invisible force.

At this time, Eric not only felt a little suffocated in his breathing, but also lost sensation in his body below the head. He looked out of the hatch that had not yet been closed, and the sailors outside had turned a blind eye to the situation.

Edwin, who was sitting on the bed, also changed his usual amiable appearance, the expression of his whole face became very strange, the pupils of his eyes were unusually gray, and the nails on his hands were all cold black.

Edwin's other hand waved at the hatch, and it slammed shut.

The closed hatch made no sound under such a violent impact.

"Hey, hey!" Edwin let out a hoarse laugh, "Don't panic, Erik, your Aunt Caroline is just asleep, and when she wakes up again, you'll still be there for her, hahaha!"

At the end, Edwin couldn't help but laugh as if he had thought of something happy.

Edwin got up from the bed, held out a finger, and spoke a language that Eric didn't understand. Then a gray halo spread from Edwin's fingertips.

A gray halo of light struck Eric's body, and he immediately felt as if he had melted into the air and disappeared into the world.

Edwin then withdrew his palm from Eric.

Then there was a "bang!", and Eric fell off the bulkhead, and his body regained consciousness. Immediately, Eric rushed towards Edwin, jumped directly into the air, and smashed a flying knee into Edwin's face.

"Huh, why hasn't the medicine I put in the food at night work?"

Eric's flying knee did not touch Edwin, but was blocked by the sudden glow of cyan light on Edwin's body. Look at the shimmering oval cyan mask that surrounds Edwin's body.

Eric, who also occasionally played games in his previous life, couldn't help but blurt out: "This is not a spell shield, right?"

Eric, who was shocked back by the rebound force on the cyan mask, just wanted to continue attacking Edwin, but suddenly his feet went limp, and then his whole body seemed to be anesthetized.

"Plop!" and Eric collapsed to the ground.

"That's right, the potion I made can't be an accident for someone like you!Spell Shield?Where did you know the name? I'm magic, it's called Wind Shield, Spell? Interesting, it's the same as those elves. Edwin's words made Eric on the ground widen his eyes.

Eric didn't expect that he had just finished watching "The Way of the Knight" a while ago, and now there was a living wizard in front of him. But this wizard is clearly not a good bird.

Edwin walked up to Eric's side, and to Erik's surprise, he gently lifted him up with just one hand. Eric felt that he was like the basket that Edwin usually carried in his hand when he delivered food.

opened his mouth to say something, but Eric found that he couldn't open his mouth, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

What to do?

I didn't expect the wizard's ability to be so powerful, I don't know what this old man wants to do with himself?

Looking at Eric's calm eyes, Edwin, who opened the hatch and walked out with Eric, said with a smile: "You can still be so calm, it's a pity, if you weren't useful to me, I would have wanted to take you as a wizard apprentice." ”

Edwin's pale face and smile made Eric feel very penetrating.

Outside the cabin, it was still the same group of sailors sitting together and bragging. Surprisingly, though, they turned a blind eye to Edwin as he walked past them. Even if you see it, it is the same as seeing a passerby.

"What the hell is going on?" shouted Eric in his heart.
