Because Hickor went to the Church of Fortune to dredge joints to buy goods, and within a day or two he borrowed and stayed at James Huashi's house nearby, Penny fell into a state of loneliness again, and when he came back from Zhan Huashi, he was in a daze in sorrow for a long time, he heard the middle-aged man's question, and suddenly started to talk.

At least it can be used to relieve boredom, and in addition, he is also very curious about this mysterious swordsman.

"Relax. ”

Seeing the stiff posture of the mage who entered the door, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said in a soft tone.

Looking into his eyes, Penny couldn't help but feel like he wanted to sleep, but he immediately became nervous.

He glanced at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face vigilantly, and his hanging heart was relieved.

He was a little nervous, and the middle-aged man had no intention of controlling his mind, because his mind protection didn't pop up.

It's just that this middle-aged man's spirit is too terrifying, and a word and a look can affect Penny's will.

"You look too nervous. The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, due to his injury, he couldn't make too many movements, Penny listened to his words, and felt a little ironic: "It seems that after becoming a red-robed mage, you have become a lot more sensitive. ”

Penny forced a smile.

"Hmm...... I really don't have any ill will towards you, and we've had a good time with each other in the past. The middle-aged man smiled: "Even if you can't make friends with each other, you won't become enemies." ”

Hearing this, Penny's heart jumped:

"Fellowship from the heart?"

A guy who has a grudge against a red-robed mage actually talks about having a sincere relationship with a red-robed mage?

"Don't mind, since I was deceived once, I've gradually learned a skill. The stubble, Lundy Cross, smiled, and the scattered stubble made his smile look kind, like that of an uncle in an inn with a pipe and toast: "That is, to see a person's surname within three exchanges, no matter how much disguise he makes." ”

Penny had a strange look on his face.

This ability is really more strange than the enchanted psychic magic.

Even if the mind is probed, if the recipient is mentally tough, the possibility of failure is huge.

However, it is not excluded that some people really have this ability:

"You don't have to wonder that a person's words and deeds, some details, can tell a person's code of conduct. Lundy Cross sighed: "A cautious guy who is fearful and fearful, and who tries to make himself and those around him better, has nothing to do with the word evil in any way. ”

He smiled and looked at the stunned mage: "Now that I see you in this red robe, I find that your fear seems to have decreased a little...... However, the other surnames have not changed, which is very gratifying...... But I feel that the fear in your heart has been increasing lately, which is not good. ”

He laughed twice, a little arrogant: "Shouldn't we face everything fearlessly?"

When Penny heard this, although he knew that the atmosphere was strange, his heart was still a little relieved: "Sir, if you knew that I was cooperating with your enemy, and was still worried about his affairs to some extent, I am afraid you would not be so kind to me." ”

Penny had already been on guard when he said this, but the middle-aged man's stunned laughter made him scratch his head.

"You say he's my enemy?" he shook his head, "He's my best friend." ”

"Uh......" A cold sweat broke out on Penny's forehead.

"But my comrade-in-arms, who lived and died together, and my comrade-in-arms, should have died in the boulevard of Sambia. Lundy Cross sighed heartily, his eyes full of remembrance: "I'm just trying to make things fit the reality in my mind, and the red-robed mage who deceives everything should not be the person I remember." ”

Penny did not understand this feeling, and could only express his acquiescence.

Lundy Cross speaks in the lyrical tone of a bard. It makes Penny extremely curious, what level of hatred must this be, worthy of commemoration in this way?

"All in all, it's between me and him, you don't have to worry about it, I don't want to and won't take advantage of you. The middle-aged warrior sighed: "I'm not the same as him. ”

He whispered affirmatively, "I'm not the same as him......"

"Sir, what are your plans for the future" Penny was silent for a while, although he didn't dare to believe the middle-aged man's words with great certainty, but he didn't have much fear of this man in his heart.

At least, he had the courage to open his mouth and ask about the purpose of this person.

"It's nothing, I'll recover from my injuries in a while. The Avenger smiled: "I won't bother you anymore after that." ”

Penny nodded silently.

"I noticed just now that your mind doesn't seem to be very stable?"

"Unstable?" the mage's eyes wandered a few times, and there was a confused glint in his pupils.

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt in his heart, and also found that his mood had changed quite abnormally recently, and it seemed that there was always a sense of anxiety that seemed to be imperceptibly interfering with him.

The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, after the abyss's close contact with the source sea, his soul had obviously become very solid under the strong squeeze of the abyss's will.

Could it be that something unusual is still mixed in?

He frowned, his heart was not too frightened, the consciousness of the abyss was violent and chaotic, and there was absolutely no reason with it, if it really invaded his mind, then he had already become a madman.

The fact that he was still able to maintain his sanity now shows that even if he was really contaminated, he had not reached a very deep level.

This made him feel a little relieved, but he still felt a little scared, because he didn't know how deep this chaotic will lurked, and the unknown hidden dangers made him feel frightened.

"As far as I know, many of the magic that the Ser people study is mixed with some very dangerous elements, and even if they are not red-robed mages, some other mages on Faeron will often study some terrible things, such as negative energy and demons...... These things that normal people are afraid to avoid are studied with relish by most mages. Lundy Cross coughed a few times: "Well, but those are really not good things, they can easily cause damage to the researcher, and the physical injuries are secondary, if they affect the sanity, the problem may be serious." ”

"So, sir, do you have a solution?" asked Penny curiously.

"Of course, I have learned some meditation and recuperation techniques with some woodland dervishes, many of whom are good at these techniques. Lundy Cross said.

Woodland dervishes?

Penny began to recall the material.

This is a faction of ascetic monks who are famous for their spiritual practices, most of whom do not possess psionic talents, but are able to impart a magical power to the spirit through asceticism and introspection.

The fact that they were able to use this power to influence the minds of others and shape and control their own souls more deeply was a bit like hypnotism in another world, and he was only now aware of where the power of Rundy Cross came from.

He must have done cultivation in related aspects.

Many psionics have developed various abilities in this way, which illustrates the value of these practices.

"In short, before solving the problem, you must first know what the problem is, now follow me to awaken the consciousness of the self, dig deeper, maybe you will know where the problem is. ”

Penny nodded, he was not unaware of the transmission of psionic energy, he cautiously supported the mental barrier, staring into the other party's eyes.

A large amount of information entered his consciousness through spiritual cues, and his visual perception gradually changed.

He had condensed all his spirit, and he knew very well that he was about to enter an anthropomorphic spiritual realm, where his entire consciousness was.

In a short time, such a space appeared in front of his eyes, and countless points of light representing various kinds of consciousness passed in front of his line of sight, and his perception swept through it rapidly, and finally stopped above a dark haze.

Right there!

He understood immediately.

A dark fog, with dark red fireworks burning on the surface, was not big, compared to the size of the entire space, only a thousandth, but it was extremely gloomy.

At the moment of seeing 'it', countless frenzied information suddenly poured into Penny's consciousness, he let out a long howl, out of this state, he could no longer control the impact of this chaotic consciousness, a powerful and endless force seemed to appear in his body, making every inch of flesh and blood in his body full of power, and his heart was occupied by an urge to tear everything apart.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see Penny change like this.

...... The light of the Doge's Mansion was tinged with a softness.

It's not glamorous and dazzling, warm but not fierce, and people can't help but ignore the haze in their hearts.

The old man strolling through the garden was rarely dressed in casual clothes, but the young woman by the garden was very apprehensive, for she knew very well that only when the old man was in a bad mood would he abandon his usual habits.

"Dear Lannie, I'm not happy at all. The old man frowned and looked at his granddaughter: "I gave you power and rank as you wished, but you ran back, how should I describe this kind of behavior?

"No, Grandpa, you have to listen to me...... The look on Lannie Lu's face ...... could only be described as angry: "He's a complete bastard." ”

"Oh! what did I hear?" the old man sighed in amazement, and turned his head to look at Lannie Lou with a little dazed eyes: "I remember that the previous mages who received such a comment from you were all broken legs by you, why did you come back to me for help this time like a defeated general, do you think I will help you?"

"I ......" Lannie Lou looked at Muirstantus in disbelief when she heard these words, she did not expect that the elder who would have cleaned up everything for her trouble in the past would say such a thing at this time.

"I admire soldiers who are full of fighting spirit. The old man narrowed his eyes: "I can see that you are not willing to be ordinary, my dear granddaughter, so I am glad to support you in every victory, and agree with your extraordinary ideas, but ...... What do you mean by coming back to me like this? A child who has been knocked down in a fight runs back to his parents and cries? Oh, I'm beginning to wonder if I have given you too much indulgence since I was a child......

"No, dear grandfather. Lanelo listened to the old man's words, and her heart suddenly froze, and a frightened expression appeared on her face.

She began to understand that coming back for help seemed like a less wise decision.

The old man smiled slightly, and his voice was still old: "Listen, Lanny...... You have the blood that comes down from me in you...... We appreciate people who fight for their fate, and all Serdians are like that...... But we absolutely don't approve of being unreasonable, you see?"

"Ren's surname?" Lanelu looked up, the expression on her face seemed to be in disbelief: "Grandpa...... I ......"

"Can you give me any reason?"

The old man's dark, slightly dry pupils stared at his granddaughter quietly, on this warm afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the general in civilian robes, like an ordinary old man, was gently holding a morning tea, kind and calm.

However, the woman opposite was slowly stared into a cold sweat by this calm gaze, and it took a long time before she knelt down on one knee as if she had woken up: "I understand, grandfather, it's my stupidity." ”

"It's good to know...... Muirstantus exhaled lightly, nodded, and his gaze softened a little: "Lannie~ I know what you want, although I don't really agree with this need, but I am willing to give you a chance, because such an opportunity, I did not enjoy it when I was young...... However, any opportunity is limited, and there are not many opportunities for people to take control of their own destiny...... I seem to remember that I told you last time before you left, that this was your last chance. ”

Lane's pupils opened slightly, as if she remembered it all at once.

My granddaughter, dear Lanny...... You must know that since you have embarked on this path, you will be Captain Lannielou Ferrandlin in the future...... "Now you have something I can rely on, but my old bones can't last long~"

Hearing the old man's last sigh, the black warrior did not speak.

After a long time, she sighed, got up and saluted again, and walked out of the garden with a gloomy face.

"Actually......"

The voice from behind made her hear.

"Girl...... It's better to marry, wow......" the old man said in an emotional tone.

The corners of Lannielou Ferrandlin's mouth twitched, and she continued to walk outside.
