"Eli, Eli!"

Someone whispered in her ear, and Eli struggled with the heavy eyelids for a long time before slowly opening his eyes.

The round dome made of planks, the rickety enclosed space, the sound of horses' hooves not far away, there was no doubt that he was in a carriage at the moment.

Eli sat up in the carriage, the aftermath of the magic making him a little embarrassed. He found Orin's hands tied behind him with rough hemp rope, perhaps soaked in dark red blood, perhaps from the struggle.

And he didn't, perhaps because the kidnappers felt that a four-year-old had nothing to watch out for.

Eli climbed behind Orin and tried to untie the seemingly simple knot.

"It's useless, there's magic applied to it."

There was no way, the two children in this carriage were swordsmen through and through, and the other was not old enough to resonate with the elements of magic.

After being in trouble, Orin also lost the arrogance to fight his brother, and Eli heard him say, "I just spied a peek, and they want to take us out." ”

"Guessed." Eli doesn't believe in evil, and he's still fighting the knot.

Orin replied dryly, "Then you're pretty smart." ”

There was silence in the small carriage, and after several fruitless attempts, Eli renounced the fight with magic and curled up in the corner where he woke up, gently closing his eyes.

Let him take a look at what happened today.

First, a strange squad dressed in the armor of the Guards arrives at the castle, then Orin Guards backstabbed and finally gets beaten by the stern but gentle Vile.

The kidnapping had apparently become unusual when it came to the guards and Vile, and if Eli remembered correctly, Vill had been working in the castle since he was born, and Orin's guards had been selected when he was five years old.

This is a conspiracy with a long front. The longer this conspiracy is prepared, the slimmer their chances of escaping.

Eli's brain raced, trying to find the best solution to the dilemma.

[Ding Dong, broadcast on the hour, the system starts the countdown: 4:00:00]

Eli had never felt so pleasant to hear the mechanical sounds he had heard in the subway bus in his previous life.

Although the golden finger given by the main god arrived late, the timing of the card was late but it was just right. Eli praised the Lord God in his heart, hoping that the Lord God would work hard to govern the worlds and not let the invaders harm the innocent natives.

The light that grabbed people everywhere sneezed.

Orin looked at Eli, a small blob in the corner who seemed to be easily killed by anyone, and he had mixed feelings for his half-brother, whose existence was like proof that his parents didn't love each other.

He tried to show weak resistance to his powerful father by ignoring Eli, but it didn't work except that he and Eli were separated as much as possible, and the last time they met was at Eli's fourth birthday party.

The old people say that children grow up when they see the wind, and according to him, this younger brother has not changed at all in half a year.

After thinking for a long time, Orin lowered his voice and called, "Come here." ”

Eli is wondering if there is any other way than to put her hopes in the system - what if the system doesn't work?

Hearing Orin's voice, he opened his eyes in some surprise, and after thinking about it, he crawled over lightly.

Orin shifted with great difficulty, keeping his lips just close to Eli's ear, "The northern part of Francis' territory is full of mountains where carriages can't walk, and we only have one chance. You've always been smart, and I know you understand. ”

"At that time I will try to get their attention, you have to run immediately, to any place where there are people."

Eli met Orin's determined gaze in surprise.

Although Orin was determined to sacrifice himself to save his brother, his plan fell awry, as Vill bent down and took Eli as soon as the carriage stopped.

Orin left in the carriage: It's not what I thought!

Eli who was taken away: You won't want me to brush the copy alone, will you?!

It was already dark, and Vile changed into a long black dress, wearing a black and white headscarf, looking like a nun in a church.

Eli clutched Vile's slightly arched shoulder sleeves, and the huge difference in strength made him very obedient.

The night breeze blew through the valley, so cold that Eli cowered her neck, and Vile's hand gently attached to the cloak he hadn't had time to untie, chanting insulation magic in her mouth.

Eli didn't quite understand what Vile was doing with him.

"Little master, we are going to spend the night here, falling asleep in the carriage will make you sick." Vile deserves to have taken care of Eli for four years and answered Eli's doubts just right.

Eli was carried into a cave by her, and several black-robed men sat around the campfire at the entrance of the cave, and when they saw Vile, they quickly got up, and put their right hand on their hearts in unison, leaning over slightly.

It seems that Vile has a high status in the kidnapping gang, Eli silently thought, probably a leader.

He was placed on soft hay by Vile, and at one end of the hay lay a familiar pillow, the one he slept on every day.

"Get some sleep, young master." Vile rubbed Eli's soft silver hair, which had been a very arrogant gesture before. But now the two levels are reversed, Eli has changed from a high-ranking young master to a weak and helpless hostage, and his head is of course the head of the kidnappers, Vier, who wants to touch it.

"Vile," Eli blinked, "why are you doing this?" ”

He asked this very levelly, and it can be said to be a pun.

"Because I like little master very much," Vile smiled lightly, "because of my faith." ”

She didn't smile when she was the head maid, and Eli realized that Vile was actually very young and beautiful.

Eli buried her face in the pillow with her back to the hole, the crackling of the campfire and the sounds of conversation mingled, and Eli only understood her own and Orin's names.

[Ding Dong, broadcast on the hour, the system starts the countdown: 1:00:00]

Vill seemed to be arguing with a black-robed man, their voices fading away, Eli engrossed in the slight sound of breathing.

There were only two people left at the entrance of the cave.

At a good time, Eli's eyebrows lit up, and obscure spells flowed fluently from his mouth. If Vile had been here, he would have recognized the spell as the one she had chanted in the hallway.

Eli waited nervously with his fists clenched, and after a brief moment of silence, the sound of a heavy object falling was heard.

Eli staggered to his feet, pulled his legs and ran out of the cave.

Thanks to the memorization ability forced by the test-oriented education, thanks to the memory given by his parents in his previous life, and thanks to the magic mechanism of this world.

I am most grateful to myself, and I actually memorized the pronunciation after listening to it only once.

Eli was moved to call himself the Light of the Future Magician.

He leaned on his shoulder as Vile carried him over, pretending to be afraid, but quietly jotted down the route.

Eli stumbled through the mountains under the moonlight and the bushes, and he was lucky not to hit Vile head-on as he departed.

Soon, he saw the carriage lit by a campfire.

Eli ducked lightly behind a red berry and swept his gaze over the men stationed outside the carriage.

They were not dressed in black robes, but they were all dressed in thick linen and short hairs, and they looked no different from the peasants. Two people sat by the campfire, and one stood guard by the carriage with a long-pole weapon similar to an ancient gun.

If time permitted, of course he would wait until the three of them were tired before making a move, but unfortunately there was still the time bomb of Vile behind him.

Eli chanted the incantation again.

The effect of the magic this time was obviously not as good as in the cave, and he waited for a long time before the three of them showed sleepiness.

Eli was a little anxious, and he read it again.

As soon as he finished speaking, a feeling of dizziness suddenly appeared, and he fell to his knees and gasped for air, and after the dizziness, it seemed that the feeling of detachment from within his body almost made him unable to stand up again.

It can't be a magical after-effect, right? Eli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thought hatefully: It is urgent to popularize the compulsory education of magic swordsmanship, and when he returns, he will suggest to his father that he will never allow the next magically blind swordsman blind in the territory.

The sound of a few heavy objects hitting the ground gave Eli a lot of strength, and he scrambled to his feet, passed straight through the berry bushes, and trotted and kicked the wheels of the carriage.

Orin's shocked face poked out of the curtain of the carriage, and he swept over the unconscious man on the ground and asked incredulously, "Why are you ......?"

"Run first." Now is not the time to speak.

Orin obviously understood this, and he jumped out of the carriage and half-crouched in front of Eli: "Come up." ”

His hands were still tied behind his back, and Orin must have struggled during the time they had been apart, blood soaking through the hemp rope and even running down his fingertips to the ground.

The moonlight sprinkled softly on every land, and the little silver-haired and amber-eyed boy ran wildly through the mountains and forests with a child who looked no more than three or four years old.

Holding Orin's neck had taken Eli's last of his strength, and his temples were throbbing.

Hopefully magic won't make him a fool.

Orin's frenzied footsteps suddenly stopped, and he tried to maintain his balance in a half-crouch, but he forgot that there was Eli on his back. They fell into a ball and rolled into the fallen leaves behind the bushes.

"There are footsteps." Orin blocked Eli's cordial greeting with four words.

Eli's face sank.

Sure enough, after they tried to be as quiet as possible, the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves not far away came to their ears.

More than one person.

"Orin." The vigilant Orin turned his head, Eli's obsidian-like eyes seemed to glow silver in the night, "You're leaving." ”

"How could I-"

A short, fleshy index finger blocked his unfinished words.

"Only you can go," Eli said, "you go, and then bring someone to save me." ”

Orin gritted his back molars, and he watched as his hated brother, who was no longer the height of an adult's legs, ran away into the dark distance without looking back, and he crouched here helplessly.

Eli struggled to run, and the forced use of magic probably took a heavy toll on his body, and he even began to get dizzy at the end of the run.

The footsteps of the chase were getting closer and unifying, and it seemed that Orin should be able to dodge it.

Eli stumbled through an unknown field of wildflowers, stopping at the edge of a towering cliff.

Seeing the cliff, he was moved by a strange feeling: finally he didn't have to run, and he didn't want to run again in the next life.

The pursuers were almost there, and if they only saw themselves, they would soon realize that Orin had fled, and the time he had bought was obviously not enough for Orin to escape completely.

[Ding-dong, system starts countdown: 5]

Eli stared at the bottomless cliff, the sound of approaching footsteps seemed to step on the tip of his heart, and there was not much time left for him to make a decision.

[4]

The main god looks quite unreliable, and the golden finger given must be a little more reliable, right? Eli tries to convince himself with strange logic.

[3]

The pursuers will soon be coming.

[2]

Eli gritted his teeth and jumped down.

A burst of white light flashed, and Eli disappeared into midair.

Vile, who had finally arrived, swooped down on the edge of the cliff, her eyes splitting.
