Section 47
The banquet hall became deserted and empty as the guests left.
Axela Pérez withdrew her servant, went to the table, and poured herself a glass of red wine from her empty glass.
"Is that him?"
The young man next to him said, "No." ”
"Isn't it?"
"Not really."
Axela Pérez put down the glass on her lips: "What do you mean?" ”
"The Reeves family's convoy was attacked, and the body of Levi Reeves was not found at the scene, but within a few days, a boy with no memory appeared in a nearby town, with the same black hair as the Reeves family."
The young man who hadn't eaten tonight fiddled with the food he hadn't touched before, "How could it be so coincidental?" ”
"Then why don't you say it's like it?"
"Because he has completely changed his appearance, and there is no trace of the magic to hide it...... "The young man who is fiddling with the food reveals the magic ring he wears on his index finger," and instead of inheriting the family's fire talent, he has become a warlock. ”
"And the Reeves aren't going to get mixed up with the guy who formed the association."
"Do you still eat pumpkin pie?" Axela Pérez asked suddenly.
"What?"
"I remember when you were a kid, you would vomit nausea just by eating pumpkin pie."
"When I was a kid, I always hated something for some reason...... Does this have anything to do with this event? ”
"You're going to change, so why wouldn't Levi's change?"
"Maybe you're right." The young man threw the fork back to the table and didn't eat anything, "Assuming he's Levi, what are you going to do?" ”
"Do nothing."
"Why?"
This time Axela Pérez took a quiet sip, and then said, "You said the reason, he is not like it. ”
"But the killer doesn't necessarily think so."
The young man stared at Alexella Pérez's face: "The murderer dared to attack the convoy of the King of the North, killing everyone, but there was no body of Levi. Then, a dark-haired boy who doesn't seem to remember anything appears in a nearby town...... What do you think the murderer would have done? ”
"It's none of my business."
Axela Pérez turned her glass and drank the wine.
"This is your town."
"My father was the chief of the guard of the royal capital."
"You want to say that your background is not afraid of murderers?"
Axela Pérez put down her empty glass and shook her head.
"What I'm trying to say is that not being nosy is my family credo."
……
The mayor of the town moved quickly. The next morning, his butler came to Aunt Susan's house to pick them up and take them to their new quarters, where they were almost driven out as a liar.
When she learned that the mayor had given them a house, Aunt Susan was surprised and delighted, and praised Uncle Hollin for telling Martin to call for wood.
When Uncle Hollin returned, Aunt Susan changed into the floral dress that Annan had brought back from Breeze City last time, and the family followed the waiting butler to a house on Rich Street.
This two-story house is more than enough for Aunt Susan's family.
"I'm going to live on the second floor!"
Martin stumbled upstairs, while Aunt Susan dragged Uncle Holling into the kitchen.
"This is the title deed, and this will be your house from now on." At the door of the house, the housekeeper handed over the deed to Annan.
Because it was given to an "honorary citizen", the house was nominally owned by Annam.
Annan thanked him and looked thoughtfully across the street. Apparently not by coincidence, Mr. Victor's residence was opposite.
In the future, you don't have to go out early to go to the library.
Annan could have woken up early in the morning, delayed getting dressed, sat up from the bed, saw Mr. Victor outside the window just going out slowly, then watered the flowers, fed the spiders, went downstairs to have breakfast, washed up and went out, and finally easily caught up with Mr. Victor and opened the door in the cold snort of the old man.
"If you need anything else, you can come to me at the mayor's manor." The butler left the carriage and groom so that Annan could carry the things of the old house.
Entering the new home, Aunt Susan had already arranged a place to live: they lived on the first floor, and Annan enjoyed the second floor alone.
Annan was not involved in the next move, because he saw Mr. Victor go out. Casually placing the deed on the table in the living room, Annan ran out to meet Mr. Victor.
"Leave? Where are you going? ”
"Tasia left me some things in the Haunted Gold Mine, and I'm going to go and check them out."
Mr. Victor didn't say anything and retrieved the key.
Aunt Susan stayed behind to decorate the new house, and Annan, Uncle Holling, and Martin returned to the old house, took an oil lamp, and set off
……
Broken clouds cast the shadows of broken trees.
Dressed in the mage's robes given by the Wine Lady, Annan approached the haunted gold mine that had been abandoned as the last veins were depleted.
The ghosts and kobolds of the Haunted Gold Mine pose little of a threat, and Annan's current magic can unleash a low-level summoning spell and cast a second spell two hours later, although this is followed by complete depletion and nearly a day-long recovery.
But with Wood, even if he encounters a kobold, a warlock can escape.
The camp outside the mine has long been abandoned, and weeds have grown in some of the shacks. As humanity faded, nature took over again.
Annan couldn't help but miss that he was still very young at that time.
Although only two months have passed.
The strange and familiar environment elicits more memories of Annan. If you think about it, you don't have much time to think after coming to the other world. It is like a ship drifting away from land and on the vast sea, desperate to drop anchor.
But now, it seems that I can stop for a while and enjoy the scenery on the sea.
Carrying an oil lamp and a road map in the other, Annan entered the dead haunted gold mine and followed the branches.
Oh, a dry skeleton, I don't know which hapless guy died here.
After a while, Annan saw scattered pickaxes again, and one could imagine the miners who fled in panic and threw them away.
The corpse of the kobold...... Well?
Annan suppressed the uneasiness of seeing the corpse and approached the corpse. The kobold was stoned to the head and decomposed beyond recognition.
This attack reminded him of a ghost. Aren't ghosts and kobolds the same gang?
Annan summoned Wood and moved on with them, but the unexpected happened: in a cavern without a corpse, he encountered a floating blue magical flame.
An ethereal voice rang out in Annan's heart, indicating that he could be given eternal life, strength, or resurrected his beloved.
Annan felt that the temptation was full of traps: answering that eternal life would become undead? Answer: Power loses ego? It is only the skin that resurrects the dwarves.
Thinking that Martin always wanted to open his spider jar, Annan replied casually: "I want spiders to fly automatically to people's faces." ”
As the words fell, the blue ball of light and the surrounding rock walls quietly melted, and a spacious underground cave appeared in front of Annan, who was on the verge of unleashing his summoning spell.
Good news and bad news:
The good news is that there are countless treasures in the cave.
The bad news is that there is a blue dragon lying on the treasure mountain.
