Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 6 Dream Prophecy
"You know my dad!?" Allen's eyes widened when he was startled by old Adrian's words. He never expected to hear his father's name from a stranger, which he couldn't believe because he hadn't even seen it himself.
"Yes, Tim is a great father. "I've seen him a handful of times, but I dare say so." ”
Old Adrian reached out and touched Alan's head, helped him dry the last few drops of water from his hair, looked at him carefully, and continued: "Oh yes, it does resemble Tim, and the eyes are exactly the same as Marianne's. ”
Where have they been? Where are they now? When will they be back? Alan just felt that he suddenly had a lot to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"Now the mystery of 'who are the two children in my dreams?' Old Adrian sat back in his chair with a satisfied smile on his face.
"In your dreams?" said Allen, looking at old Adrian with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, it's been three nights in a row until last night, and it appeared in my dream, where we just met, you two. ”
"Uh...... Sorry, I didn't understand. Allen said.
"Okay, uh-huh...... "I'll tell you this," Old Adrian looked at Alan with a confused face, and explained carefully: "I occasionally have some very real dreams, so real that they will happen in the future, maybe thousands of miles away, or they may be around me, maybe years later, or tomorrow...... Do you understand that, kid?" Alan nodded, but then shook his head again. So old Adrian continued: "That is, it is a revelation, a prophecy, a dream prophecy that only I would make. ”
"Dream prophecy?"
"Yes, there are several kinds of prophecy, and this is just one of them...... For three days, I repeated this dream every day. In the dream I saw a child fall into the water, and the other rescued him, and the child who rescued the other dragged the injured one into the woods, where we had just met, and it was raining as it was now, and he was lying on the ground as he had just done...... So I'll be waiting for you there every time this time these days. Old Adrian looked at Allen's stunned expression and continued, "And then you really appeared. ”
"But here ......comes a new puzzle," said old Adrian, looking up, frowning, as if to say to himself, "You know, I never dream of some insignificant person for no reason, and the last time I had these dreams was a long time ago...... What is this dream trying to guide me to do? Is it just to save you? But you should have nothing to do with them......"
Old Adrian was thinking when he suddenly heard something muttered from Rare's mouth, interrupting his train of thought.
Alan and he hurried over, only to find that Rare was not awake and was just talking in his sleep, but judging from the fact that his face was starting to turn rosy, it should be fine.
"You're going to sleep here tonight. Old Adrian said, and with a wave of his cane, Riel's bedside floor stood up obediently, and made a smaller bed, enough for Alan to lie down, but without a quilt.
Old Adrian looked slightly embarrassed: "Huh...... You can sleep with your clothes on, as you can see, there are quite a few trees around here, but there is nothing to make quilts...... Uh, anyway, it's warm in the house, so don't worry about catching a cold. ”
"Thanks, I'm not worried about whether there is a quilt or not, I just wanted to ask...... Where do you sleep?" Alan asked.
"Oh, don't worry, kid. Old Adrian pointed to the chair with his cane, and the chair slammed into a chaise longue, "I'll sleep here." Old Adrian lay down and laughed.
"It's very comfortable, and I occasionally sleep on it when I'm tired of sleeping......" Old Adrian smiled at him again, "Good night, then, Allen." ”
"Uh...... Well, good night, Mr. Audrian. ”
It was indeed warm in the house, and there was no need for a quilt, but Alan lay down for a long time before falling asleep. He was still a little worried about Riel, and he knew that the Connor couple must be very worried about them now, and he didn't know if he would blame them tomorrow. It was tossed and turned for a long time before he fell asleep.
Sleep time always flies. The magic lamp on the table went out, and only the fire in the fireplace burned until dawn.
The next morning, Alan woke up to find that Riel seemed to have just woken up, looking left and right in confusion.
There was no old Adrian in the house.
"Where is this...... Who is that old man with gray hair and beard?" asked Ariel, who noticed that Alan was awake, and quickly pointed to the old Adrian, who was chopping wood with a cane outside the window. He saw that old Adrian just moved his lips, and with a light touch of his cane, the wood would automatically split in half and be placed in order.
"Cool! I've seen my dad use this, Burst!" said Riel. His left foot was still bruised, but he looked in good spirits.
"Oh, his name is Greg Odrian...... "Allen said looking out the window as well, "Well, to be honest, I don't know who he is, but he saved us last night...... Do you remember that you fainted on the shore and then it rained again, if he hadn't found us in time......"
When Riel heard Alan say this, he remembered that he had just laid down and felt dizzy and sleepy, and then he didn't know anything.
"Then I have to thank him. He was about to get out of bed, but as soon as his left foot hit the ground, a sharp pain in his left foot reminded him that he could not walk yet. "Oh hell, I forgot I had this stubble. "I have to say that Riel's personality is indeed a bit reckless compared to Allen.
At this time, the voice of old Greg sounded at the door: "Mr. Rare Connor, if you don't take care of your left foot, it will take at least two weeks to fully recover." ”
Riel looked at old Greg with a smile on his face who didn't know when he appeared at the door, and was stunned for a long time before he remembered and said, "Uh...... Thank you, Ori ......"
"Adrian. Old Adrian corrected him with a smile, "Come out, you two, and have breakfast." ”
"Oh, by the way, Riel, you're going to need to cooperate with me a little now...... Close your eyes and relax your whole body. As soon as he finished saying that, old Adrian seemed to remember something again, and said again.
Rare didn't know what he was going to do, but he did it anyway.
Then Alan saw that the elder Adrian had used the same magic as he had done last night with his cane, and had moved Rare to the campfire outside.
Alan also walked out, and it was only then that he realized that it had been raining lightly outside, but the ground inside the fence wall was dry.
He looked at Old Adrian suspiciously, and Old Adrian obviously understood what he wanted to ask, so he said, "A very simple enchantment magic can stop some small animals that try to come in and disturb my dreams. You know, you have to be very careful when you live in a place like this...... Of course, the rain can't come in. ”
"Looks great!" Allen said.
"If you want, I can teach you when you have time. Old Adrian said with a smile.
Riel had already sat down, but he couldn't see anything cooking in the cauldron on the campfire, only a strong aroma that made him crane his neck and look inside.
Alan also came and sat down, and old Adrian gave each of them a bowl of soup from the pot.
Riel took the bowl, but before he could say thank you, he took a big bite of the bowl and ended up grinning with a hot tooth.
Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten for too long, but Riel thought the soup was really delicious, and just finished drinking a bowl and asked for another bowl, and was full of praise: "It's the first time I've drunk such a delicious soup! My mother will never make such a wonderful taste! What is it stewed with?"
"Oh, that's what you say...... old Adrian looked at him with a smile, "it's the same fish that pierced your foot yesterday, and which I just caught this morning from the lake downstream." ”
Ryel's face changed when he heard this, and Alan was so frightened that his hand shook and he almost dropped the bowl to the ground.
"Didn't you say that this fish is poisonous......" Alan also asked with a puzzled expression.
"Oh yes, it's toxic. Old Adrian smiled at him, "but I'm just saying that the thorns on its back are poisonous." Actually, there's only one place on its body where some venom is stored, and it tastes good, doesn't it?" said Old Adrian as he added another spoonful of soup to himself, "Don't worry, I've pulled out the thorns." ”
Alan was relieved when he heard this, and the three of them began to eat the fish together.
Just then, a clear cry rang out from behind the hut, startling a flock of birds, startling Alan and Riel as well.
Like the call of a bird, it was unusually loud in the woods.
The two looked at old Adrian in surprise.
"Oh!" said old Adrian, who hurriedly stood up, and walked briskly to the back of the house, "it's Arthur......! It's going to get angry!"
