Chapter 9: A Brief Friendship
In the town of Anxi, there are some specific customs on the night before the hunting carnival, such as the rituals that are now taking place in the square. Willy, the political officer, also appeared in the crowd, standing at the front of the crowd is the priest of the temple of the goddess of the forest who had an affair with the widow in the town, although he has gray hair but has been tough and powerful, after a series of sacrificial procedures, it is a long time to recite prayers, nothing more than to hope for a good harvest in Anxi Town in the coming year, and the villagers will be happy and healthy.
After all the square ceremonies were over, he led the team towards the edge of the Anxi Forest, there were many people who participated, almost every household in the town had one or two people, and even there were babies or pregnant women, so the priest moved, and the people behind him also followed like a long dragon. Everyone carries one or two small animals in their hands, there are mountain birds and birds, which are used to release animals, to pray for the blessing of the goddess of the forest, and it can also be said to be the great wisdom of the old people of Anxi - never dry up and fish.
Bird stood on the balcony and quietly looked into the distance, until the group of people turned into bits of ink, then turned back into the house, opened the system interface and prepared for the lottery.
It's probably been a long time since the lottery today.,But the lottery prompt in the system interface is still flashing.,It seems that the system lottery can still be postponed for a while.,It's not right away.,Bird remembered that he thought he had to draw a lottery as soon as the system prompted it.,Can't help but smile.。
The lottery wheel is still composed of 20 small squares, with two buttons in the middle, one with start and one end. I don't know if I just watched the sacrificial activities in Anxi Town, Bird was slightly affected by it, and his whole heart was a lot calmer, and he was not in a hurry to see these prizes one by one, but clicked the start button casually.
The aperture turned very quickly, and the "oh oh" turned dozens of times, and Bird quickly pressed the end button again, and the aperture immediately stopped on a reel, and before Bird could take a closer look at the lottery wheel, it disappeared suddenly, and the scroll fell into Bird's hand in a flash.
"Fleeting Friendship" "When Friendship with a Specified Race or Individual is Briefly Acquired for a Quarter of an Hourglass"
This was the first time Bird had seen the contents of the scroll, and he had heard about a product of wizards before-scrolls, some powerful wizards would seal their spells or mana and other things in some special scroll materials, which were divided into spell scrolls, storage scrolls, and so on. Bird had only heard of this kind of thing before, and this was the first time he had seen it in person.
Bird's curiosity was up, and he wanted to open the scroll to see what was inside, and as soon as he opened it a little, the system prompted, "Do you want to confirm the use of the scroll 'Fleeting friendship'?
It seems that everything in the book is true, and there are no additional conditions for the scroll to be released, just open the scroll to release the spells or other things stored in the scroll. If it weren't for the fact that this scroll came from the system, and I received a system prompt, this scroll might have turned into air and was invalidated.
Bird carefully looked at the scroll in his hand, and he didn't know what it was made of, it was as smooth as caressing a baby's skin, and if he hadn't grasped it tightly, he might have slipped and fallen to the ground. Could it be that this is really made of human skin? Bird took a closer look and looked closely, this look directly startled Bird, the scroll has many small holes attached to it, just like the pores on human skin, not only that, but you can clearly see that the small holes have shrunk and expanded, constantly breathing, but there are many veins on it, it seems that it is indeed not made of human skin, it may be made of other species.
Bird hurriedly put the scroll away, for fear that if he looked at it again and see what was wrong, he would scare himself when the time came.
※※※
At midnight, the sacrificial activities of the hunting carnival season in Anxi Town have long ended.
"My lord, the emperor is already waiting in the conference room," Captain Pablo reminded Willy, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Willy opened his eyes directly and got up and walked outside the house, Captain Pablo followed, both of them were silent all the way, seeing that they were about to reach the conference room in a few steps, Willy stopped directly and pulled Captain Pablo away, stared at Pablo for a long time, seemed to want to say something, wanted to stop talking, and finally sighed heavily and said, "Pablo, thank you for your hard work" and quickened his pace towards the conference room.
Of course, Pablo knew what Willy wanted to say, it was nothing more than to comfort himself, hoping that he would not lose his temper when he saw the wizard, Captain Pablo changed his posture and tightened the long sword pinned to his waist, pursed his lips and didn't say anything, just followed Willy with his head bored.
Pablo followed Willy into the conference room with two strong militia members, and swept the room first when he entered the door, four people, two members of the emperor's **, a leader who had met in the morning, and the young man who had been following him in the morning, the robed wizard was not indoors. Pablo loosened his mouth, the emperor ** was a little polite and knew that the guests were casual, and there were no members of the emperor ** outside the conference room, but only four people came.
Willy, the administrative officer, did not get acquainted with those officials as in the past, and tried to get along with the clichés and the like, but went straight to the point. "You can rest assured that the man is just a simple bard, and has no special abilities. I've had Captain Pablo try this guy before. "I've also seen it, that young man is just an ordinary person, maybe he has more knowledge than others, and he has mastered things that others don't know" The young man in the emperor** also spoke, his voice was crisp and very young.
Pablo thought that this young man might be brought by the emperor's ** person or the special hobby of the lord behind him, but later found out that this should be the son of an imperial nobleman who came to gild, and he seems to be a disciple of the robed wizard.
"Louis, we have to be careful," the leader said, "Don't worry, Captain Bazel, I'm sure, and Mr. Mandel has confirmed it, hasn't he?" The leader named Bazel heard Louis say the name of the robed wizard, so he didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
Willy looked at Pablo at this time, and Captain Pablo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking as if nothing had happened.
