"It's worrying that this kid can't speak when he's so old. "The mother sat on the edge of the cradle and shielded her child from the sunlight in the clouds with her sleeves, and a shepherd dog ran over and sat down beside the hostess and stuck out his tongue,

Jeffta entered the house and poured himself a glass of water, drank it all, and then sat on the threshold and wiped his sweat: "Everyone says that children who talk late are smarter, Jove, when do you say Joshua will come back." ”

"At noon, when I went out early yesterday morning, I told him that the main course for noon today would be his favorite beef risotto, and that even if 10,000 vicious soldiers blockaded the entire Red Rock Fort, Joshua would find a way to escape,,, he would not miss the lunch that his dear wife had carefully prepared. "Jove is clearly confident in her cooking,

The magician, who had high cheekbones and looked a little pale, smiled, "The continent has been peaceful for a hundred years, and Saint-Borun has been strong for a hundred years, why are there ten thousand vicious soldiers, but I smell incense on the other side of the mountain...... You must have prepared more than one person's amount, right? ”

Little Jonah turned his head sideways and looked at the stranger through the gap in the cradle, and Joeve glanced at Geoffa, "Do you need special preparation for your bird-like meal, I have told you since I was a child that a man must eat more meat and grow strong in order to protect his wife in the face of famine and robbers,,, just like Joshua, look at you now, you look like a witch with the Black Death, can't you not wear that strange robe once in a while." ”

"This is the magic robe, which represents the divine ability to use magic, and in the hundreds of days and nights that I have followed the teacher...... "The magician flicked the dust on the robe, and said,

Jove waved her hand irritably, "Until you were kicked out of the St. Borun Wizards' Guild for stealing, I'd heard it a thousand times, Jeffta. ”

"But I made a great new discovery. Jeffta's eyes shone in the sunken sockets, "That's why I'm here to discuss with Joshua, he doesn't know martial arts or magic, but he's the smartest guy within a hundred miles, and my discovery needs his proof." ”

"And, of course, the hardest working farmer, the most seasoned winemaker, the most skilled milker. A proud expression appeared on Jove's face, and she grabbed Jonah's small palm and shook it twice: "Daddy is the best guy in a hundred miles, right, right." ”

Jonah looked at his mother in confusion, "Ahhh He cried out inarticulately,

Jeffta stood up and couldn't wait to look at the distant mountains, there were no pedestrians in the undulating silhouette of the skyline, and he looked a little excited: "This discovery is probably the most important new discovery in the history of magic, a new chapter in the entire magical theory system, and a bombshell that can scare those old-fashioned old guys of the Continental Magicians Association into falling off the high chairs." ”

Jove gave him a roll of the eyes: "Have you been in the dark cave for so long that your brain has been taken over by some strange creature from hell, don't forget, Jeffta, you are just an apprentice who has been swept away, and with a few stolen magic books, you can research something that shocks the continent." ”

"You don't understand, woman. The magician immediately waved his finger, "Talent, as long as there is talent, there are infinite possibilities, Joshua will understand me, he has understood every word I say since he was a child, if it weren't for the goddamn prince and princess games that you always pulled, he would have been a successful magician or astrologer,,, do you know how many white-bearded old men went to the village to look for apprentices in those years, and my mentor took him, it should have been him." ”

"He chose to stay, and we think that was the right thing to do. Not to be outdone, "We have a lovely house, a fertile land, a flock of sheep, a cow, and a healthy child, and what do you have, a dark cave, and a bunch of untimely whining. ”

Jeffta was enraged, "Grumble, you think all I learned in the cave is grumble, well, as you wish, keep your eyes open, Jove, look at this new kind of magic that is about to change the world,,, I haven't had time to name it yet." ”

The magician walked a few steps away, facing the pile of straw next to the wooden house, raised his right hand, and began to chant a mysterious incantation in a low voice, Jofu protected the child's eyes and sneered: "A fireball, of course, any apprentice fire magician can release a small fireball, which can be used to scare the farmer's wife and children, and don't forget, if you burn the whole pile of straw, you are responsible for restoring it to our original state." ”

Jeff Ta didn't answer, he focused on summoning the magic elements in the space, using spells to guide the magic elves to gather and transform into the form he needed, a black fireball gradually formed in his palm, constantly tumbling and spinning, and the black fire was steaming with purple tail flames, which looked strange and inexplicable,

As if sensing the smell of danger, the shepherd dog barked at him,

"W-What is this? Jove immediately stood up, vigilantly picked up the child, took two steps back, and got a little bit of knowledge about magic from legends and rumors, Jofu is no stranger to magic, red is fire magic, green is plant, white is healing, blue is water, gold is metal, black is dark, these are all categories of magic that women and children know, but in her memory, there is no magic that is clearly presented in the form of flames, but it is so dark and deep, flowing with evil purple light,

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of Jeffta's mouth, "See, Jove, this is my latest discovery, the Wizards Guild books record 202 series of known magic, there is no series that can compare to the Dark Fire ,,, Dark Fire in my hand, this is a good name, from today on, my name is Jeff Tower, the Fallen Dark Fire Mage, and the Wizards Guild will eventually admit that it was a huge mistake to expel me, and include my name in all the great works, on a par with the names of the Great Magiers......"

"Stop using this evil thing. Jove screamed, hugging little Jonah in her arms, "It's ominous, I can feel it, it's going to bring bad luck." ”

"No, on the contrary, it will give me immense strength. The Darkfire Mage smirked, "Not only that, but I've also discovered ways to greatly enhance my magical abilities, and in a short period of time, I can mobilize more than four times the range of my magic and cast high-level spells, now I understand, Jove, I've found a lot of amazing things." ”

The fireball in the palm of Jefta's palm flew towards the straw pile, silently erupting into a black flame, the black fire with purple ripples was quickly extinguished, the wind blew away the ashes of the straw, and the straw pile revealed a large circular hole, unlike the fire magic, the whole pile of straw was not and ignited, only the substance at the place where the explosion occurred was completely annihilated by the dark fire,

"Smack. ”

A palm print appeared on Jeffta's face, sending the Darkfire Mage on a smile all over his face, and Jove held the child with tears in her eyes: "You idiot, this is cursed evil magic...... It shouldn't exist in the world. ”

"I've said it all, you don't understand. Jefta covered his face and smiled bitterly, "Magical elements are the purest things in the world, they have no self-will, and there is no difference between good and evil, my dark fire spell has only found a magical element that no one has discovered, these poor little things have been lonely for countless millennia, no one has ever noticed their existence, and it is my luck to be able to establish contact with me, and it is also their luck......"

"Bang. ”

The door of the wooden house was closed, and the empty cradle was swaying freely, and Jov whispered through the closed door: "I'm sorry, Jeffta, I really don't understand, the Lord God Shira told us that where there is sunshine and shadow, there is light and darkness, and deep underground lives the god of death, Umang, and his infinite hell, and he is trying to return to the world by all means, and your magic makes me feel very frightened, I think, it is the fire from hell...... I'm not going to risk hurting Jonah and stay with you, please leave, please, for the sake of growing up together. ”

The Darkfire Mage was stunned at the door, speechless, he could not have imagined that his great discovery would be called "the flame of hell" by one of his closest childhood friends and the object of his secret affection, and after a long pause, Jeffta spoke dryly: "At least, let me wait here until Joshua returns, I have something to say to him." ”

There was silence in the room for a while, "Okay, when he comes back, I'll open the door, and after lunch, please leave, okay." ”

"I see, Jove. Gefta sat silently on the threshold, carefully studying his right hand that had just released the dark fire magic, and couldn't help but sigh, the shepherd dog lay on the side, staring at him vigilantly, not moving a single step,

Time passed very slowly, only the slowly moving clouds confirmed the traces of the passage of time, the Darkfire Mage boredly took out a paper and pen, and began to calculate the equivalent exchange principle of contract summoning, what price should be paid, what kind of power should be exchanged for it, unraveled a complex calculation, Jeffta moved his shoulders, raised his head, the sun had been blocked by the eaves, and the sun began to set in the west,

"Jove, what time is it? He couldn't help asking,

“...... I'm not going to look at this damn timer. The hostess replied with chagrin, "The pointer is in the middle, one square to the right, no, one and a half squares." ”

"It's half past one in the afternoon, Jove, you should also learn to embrace the latest science and technology, the invention of the steam puppeteer has brought a lot of convenience to the mainland. Jeffta looked up the hillside and said, the green hills still in sight, no sign of pedestrians, "You said he would be back at lunchtime." ”

"Lunch is only called when the man picks up the fork. "It must be that the chain bridge on the east side has collapsed again, and it will take two or three more hours to take a detour." There was some worry in her voice, and she came up with a reason to cheer herself on,
