Chapter 3: The Mysterious Old Man

Buried his mother from the foot of the mountain, Leng Ye also had his own plans, first put aside the debt, the most important thing at the moment is to quickly improve his ability.

After returning to the house in the cold night, my brain became blank again, like a blank sheet of paper without a description, and I didn't know how to arrange the plan on the road at all, not because I didn't want to work hard, but because I was really confused and didn't know where to start. Growing up in this small village, I have no contact with the outside world at all, and to put it mildly, I lived like an idiot for eighteen years.

Wandering back and forth in the room in the cold night, there is only a lot of missing of my mother, probably because I am not used to my mother's departure for a while.

When I run my hand across the old tableware and furniture, I always think of my kind mother. It was as if her shadow could be left in every corner of the room.

In this way, Leng Ye misses his mother and falls asleep in a groggy mood.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired on the day. I don't know how long I slept like this.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and the dazzling light made it impossible to open his eyes.

Leng Ye blocked his eyes with his hands, blocking some dazzling light as much as possible, dragging his still tired body, he slowly sat up.

"Is this in a dream?"

There was no echo around it, and no one answered. It was quiet, as if the air was frozen, and you could even hear the regular breathing.

When the cold night gradually adapted to the surrounding environment, after careful observation, it was found that the surrounding area was empty and spacious, empty, only the light emanating from a corner.

"You woke up the child?"

A hoarse old voice sounded from the front.

"What is this place? How could I be here?" all kinds of questions welled up in his mind, and the cold night tore his throat and asked into the distance.

In the distance, a black figure gradually emerged, at first only seeing a silhouette, and then the outline became clearer.

"Child, it doesn't matter if you know you or not, as long as I know you, it's enough" The old man didn't seem to be hostile, and said with a smile on his face.

By the time he saw the man completely, the old man was close to his own reach.

The old man was wearing a black cloak, his old face was covered by a black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed, under the brown eyelashes, the ice sea blue eyes, not godly, but giving people a feeling of the depth of the sea, which could not be seen or touched.

Leng Ye subconsciously moved back twice, stared at him and said, "Grandpa, who are you?"

"Hahaha, you don't have to deliberately avoid me, it doesn't matter who it is, don't you want to know the answer you want?" the old man smiled.

"Think...... But ......"

"I just need your answer," the old man said again before Leng Ye's voice could fall.

As he spoke, the old man raised his withered right hand, muttering something in his mouth.

When he finished reciting the last incantation, the original dazzling light shone even more, and there was a slight tingling sensation in his eyes from time to time.

Out of instinct, Leng Ye subconsciously closed his eyes.

"The answer you want, when you wake up, will be clear"

At this moment, although the cold night is closed, he can completely feel the sound of the distance.

In this way, the mysterious hoarse voice gradually faded away.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, don't go, tell me where the answer is!"

As the cold night shouted rapidly, he sat up from the bed abruptly, probably because he got up too violently, and his head was a little dizzy.

"It turned out to be a dream. Leng Ye shook his head and said with some disappointment.

Looking around, the sky had darkened, and there was still no sound in the empty room.

I couldn't wait any longer, and just as I was about to get out of bed in the cold night, a golden card slipped off the futon.

It fell to the ground with a "click".

He was stunned for a moment, stared at the card for a few seconds, leaned down and picked up the card with his hand, it was very heavy to pick up, it had a strong texture to the touch, and the outer layer was like a layer of gold, glowing with a faint golden light.

Cold Night shook his dull head vigorously, for he always felt that this light was familiar. At this moment, his eyes suddenly glazed over, as if he remembered something.

"Is this a dream?"

Although I don't know for sure, at the moment, there is only one guess.

Grab the card and carefully observe every detail in the cold night, the ingenious carving technique, the texture is clearly visible, and you can see four different wand symbols from different angles. It's just that except for the name, the rest of the words on it are not known at all.

Obviously, this is the first time I have seen this kind of precious thing in the cold night.

"Muyce?" said Leng Ye embarrassedly.

But when Leng Ye remembered the words left by the old man, he said suspiciously: "If you wake up, you will have the answer, but this ...... Seemingly...... There's no answer."

"Alas~ Forget it~ It's just a dream, why bother so much" Leng Ye said with some disappointment.

Because of the family's economic problems, there is no backpack for travel, so Leng Ye used his bed sheet to make a simple package, which put a pair of old chopsticks, which may mean a lot to him, and put a few changes of clothes, very simple, not much but enough.

The nearest city to this is the City of Light, but it takes one day to travel at the earliest, and it takes three days to walk alone. When I think of this, my head hurts again in the cold night.

But go there anyway, because the cold night is clear, and only there can be better things to learn.

It is rumored that the City of Light is the City of Light and Magic, where magicians have extraordinary abilities, dragon knight guards, powerful dragon masters, and so on.

Waiting for everything to be ready, the cold night pushed open the door, the cold and biting cold wind continued to pour into the house, standing on the top of the hill and looking at it, I could vaguely see a faint light from the side of the city of light.

Strange to say, there were dark clouds all over the village within a two-mile radius, but beyond that, there were clear skies, for decades, if not centuries.

At the foot of the mountain, Leng Ye came to his mother's grave and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, Ye'er is gone, I promise you to become stronger, it is the son who is not filial, and it has affected the whole family." ”

There was sadness in the cold night's words, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between rain and tears.

After kneeling down to his mother, he slowly stood up in the cold night, his trouser legs were already wet from the rain, and the mud stuck to his trouser legs looked so embarrassed.

Because in his opinion, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back.

In this way, in the cold night, against the biting cold wind, he left his small village with an unbearable appearance.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally saw the sun that I hadn't seen for a long time, and I felt like I had come to a new world on a cold night, because I had never left the village, and I couldn't see such a beautiful scenery all year round.

On a cold night when he first saw a new scene, he was obviously attracted by the surrounding scenery, the birds with unique appearances, and the strange-looking birds of prey, these were completely things that he had never seen in his life.

"Phew~Hoo~"

With the sound of horses' hooves, I saw a purebred knight stalled beside Leng Ye.

From the way he dressed, it was clear at a glance that he was a person from the City of Light.

Tall figure, delicate face, three-dimensional facial features, with half a side back, wearing a white dragon knight characteristic white armor. It's a must-have.

"To the City of Light?" asked the young man of about twenty-five on horseback, pulling the reins.

"Where are you going, sir?" asked Leng Ye politely.

"City of Light, I'm just going back, why not take a companion on the way?" said the man in white.

"This, does this cost money" Leng Ye, like a child who had never been out, lowered his head and asked in an unconfident tone.

"Hahaha, hahahaha. The man in white looked up to the sky and laughed.

"I'm the dignified Dragon Knight Leader, do you think I'll ask you for money, besides, I don't look like a rich man, I'm just stopping by and helping you" The man in white said with a little smug on his face.

"Thank you really, really. Leng Ye thanked him repeatedly.

As he spoke, the man in white stretched out his hand and easily put the cold night on the back of the wide horse.

Strong arm strength is indispensable for dragon knights, let alone the length of a group.

"I said, boy, where are you from?" the man in white asked, frowning, perhaps a little wary of the cold night.

"I'm from over there," said Leng Ye, gesturing to the mountain not far away.

"Oh, the little village over there?" asked the man in white, flicking the reins and keeping his eyes fixed on the front.

"Well, yes. Cold Night still answered the man's question seriously.

"It's an ominous place, sixty years ago, my grandfather, fought a battle there, but there was no return, although I was not born at the time, but from my father's tone, I can hear the tragedy of that battle, and now that land, already belongs to the demons, long ago, over there and here, the sky is blue, after that defeat, led to the occupation of the demons, I also heard from my father that there will be a gem every two hundred years, and now the demons are waiting for the gem to mature. As he spoke, the man's eyes looked into the distance, and swirling dark clouds continued to swirl on the top of the mountain.
