In the new morning light, Hank wakes up in the crowd with a haggard face, flips over the villagers lying on the ground, and washes his face in the river near Vancl Village.

He didn't want to stay here for another night because of "Oh, it's a perfect morning, we have to celebrate."

Just about to set off, I found that there were people around me who were making the same preparations as myself.

Ilya: "Hey, hey. ”

Hank: "Hey, hey, hey, hey,

Elijah: "Wasn't you having a good time last night, why didn't you recognize anyone when you woke up?"

Hank gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up." ”

The horrific bullying images from last night came back to mind.

led the black horse to leave the Vanke Village quietly, and walked not far away, and one person and one horse found that they had been following this "little tail" behind them.

Hank paused and looked back and said, "You're also on your way this time?"

Ilya: "I'm on the way with all things interesting. ”

Hank: "Don't talk nonsense early in the morning. ”

Ilya touched his chin and said with a shrewd look: "Your horse is not simple, how can a strong magician like you run around with an ordinary horse, you must have to do some secret thing to take this guy." ”

Hank: "You think too much, I just like to wander around, and I'm willing to travel far, long distances like somebody, and this guy is just a smart horse." ”

Elijah: "Oh, it's a lot of trouble to discern whether a person is lying or not, but that's for other people, and as for why I know you're going to somewhere to do something next, maybe you should be more cautious the next time you ask a question, and don't reveal too many flaws, such as asking why others are following you with a serious expression, a stern tone, and react so aggressively. ”

Hank frowned, why did this sound so familiar?

"All in all, there aren't as many things as you might think, so we go our separate ways so as not to get each other in trouble, like last night. ”

Hank ignored the other party and continued with the dark horse, and it was noticeably faster.

Elijah: "I thought you liked it, but those sisters would love to have a drink with you." ”

Hank: "Sister, my God, I didn't expect your eyes to break at such a young age, it's a pity, don't think you can continue to follow me if you tear up the topic." ”

Walking is getting faster and faster.

Elijah: "Isn't it easy to get rid of me with your strength? Why don't you do it......?" Let me see, maybe for some reason I can't use displacement magic easily, like this dark horse next to me. ”

Hank stopped and stared at the other.

Stinky girl, it turns out that she is really shrewd and not stupid.

Hank's face changed, and he said in a grim tone, "You really want to know what I'm going to do? ”

Ilya: "Yes, I want to know. ”

Just like yesterday, Hank once again exuded a huge amount of magic, but this time Ilya didn't panic at all, and even held her head high and was completely at Hank's disposal.

It is as open as when a contract is made.

Hank deflated and withdrew his mana, he felt a headache and didn't know what to do with the girl.

The dark horse was happy, he liked the girl, thinking that she always exuded a seductive fragrance, and that as long as he followed him, he would always have a chance to eat her.

As long as Hank allows it.

Of course, Hank doesn't know what Dark Horse really thinks, he just wants to solve this trouble in front of him.

Ilya suddenly said, "Don't try to get rid of me easily, I'm going to follow you anyway." ”

Hank was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, can this girl really see through other people's minds without using magic?

After thinking about it, Hank planned to change his strategy: "Okay, I'll admit that I'm going to go to a place that few people go to, or even know about. ”

The girl's eyes lit up with interest.

Hank: "But, this is a dangerous place, Nagaro, have you heard?"

Elijah: "One of the gods?"

Hank: "Yes, one of the fallen gods to be exact. Nagara is a special god, it is different from the gods that people traditionally know now, it is almost a representative of cruelty and tyranny. The Naga loafers on the flesh and blood of all souls, its throne towers above the sea of blood, made up of the heads of thousands of living beings, it hates everything, it kills all creatures it does not like, and it gathers around it a large group of followers, they are just as tyrannical and cruel, and the place I am going to be is where the Naga Throne is. ”

Hank's expression was solemn: "To be honest, if I had to go for some personal reasons, I would never have thought of setting foot in that terrifying realm, and this time I am actually ready to never leave, I will most likely die in that sea of blood, and never return to my favorite Vanke Village to celebrate with the villagers, how dangerous it is, I believe I don't need to tell you that you ......"

Elijah: "Then why don't you like those sisters?"

Hank: "How can those people be considered sisters...... No, did you listen to me, that's the point?!"

Elijah: "Of course I did, Nagaro, my God, I was able to have the opportunity to see the Throne, is there anything more exciting than that?"

Hank said in a calm tone: "This is not an adventure, let alone a game, this is a real matter of human life." ”

Ilya disagreed: "Yes, yes, yes, I know, then we will leave now?"

Hank was stunned and said, "Are you really not afraid at all?"

Ilya pointed to the black horse and smiled.

Hank looked over and saw that his old buddy was laughing at himself with a comical smile as he described the horrible sea of blood.

Ilya said, "You can't even fool a horse, and you still want to fool me?"

Damn it.

Day and night prevention, it is difficult to prevent internal mole.

Hank tried to turn the situation around: "What I said is true, and if you really look at people accurately, you should be able to see that I am not lying at all." ”

Elijah stared at Hank for a long time before saying, "But you're so strong, you can protect me well, right?" ”

Hank: "I'm sorry, but I'd love to have that confidence, but I don't have the strength to do it. ”

Elijah continued to stare at Hank, and a smile slowly appeared on her face: "Haha, I knew you would protect me, don't pretend, it's useless to me!" You just want to send me away, and since you are going to such a dangerous place, you must be quite sure, or there is some pressure box to protect yourself." ”

Hank's face was like ashes, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.

How the hell did this girl see these things?

Ilya patted Hank on the shoulder and comforted, "Okay, okay, don't think too much, time is of the essence, let's hurry up." ”

Then humming a song and taking the lead.

Hank shook his head and glared at the mole next to him, if it weren't for it, Hank was convinced that he would have been able to trick this girl...... At least the chances are greater.

The dark horse glanced back, indicating that it was my business, and then followed the girl in a fart.

Hank looked at the old buddy who decisively left him, and he was very melancholy, the white-eyed horse really couldn't be raised.

......

...

Dark Horse is happy about the expansion of the team, because the new members have much better cooking skills than a certain person, too much

That's right, ten is too much.

Especially tonight's stew, which is the dinner that horses should have.

Although I don't want to admit it, this girl's cooking skills are indeed a little better than herself.

After tasting it, Hank thought.

Ilya suddenly stood up while eating and asked, "How is it, can you still find out that I am a magician?"

Hank glanced at it disappreciatively, but found that at this time, Ilya had no traces of magic all over his body, which was very surprising, it was a very difficult technical job to completely hide his magic power, and even he might not be able to do it without leaving a trace.

You don't need to get an answer, just from Hank's expression, you know that you are hiding very well.

Ilya laughed: "Very good, if even Hank can't find out, then no one will be able to find out my identity as a magician." ”

Hank paused, put down the spoon and said: "Elijah, there are many powerful beings in this world that you can't imagine, and these existences are not limited to 'humans', so when you meet someone or some existence in the future who can see that you are a magician at a glance, I advise you to be honest." ”

Ilya put away her smile, and Hank's rare seriousness made her realize that this was an important matter. Ilya sat down again, took a sip of the soup, and suddenly said, "Actually, I have a gift. ”

Hank's eyes widened, this time he really looked at Elija like a fool.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Elijah: "Ahh ”

Hank: "You're ......"

The gift is one of the most special beings, and there is no one. No one knows where the gift comes from, and no one knows what the criteria for receiving the gift are, only that some people in this world are born with a gift, which can be a power or a blessing, and the important thing is that each gift is unique and never repeated.

And the deprivation of gifts is one of the most painful things, without one. Someone once studied a type of magic that was specifically used to deprive others of their gifts, called the Soul Gun, which is an evil magic that shatters your soul and seeks the gift in the shards and takes it for yourself.

Soul Gun is not only painful, but it is also a mortal magic.

Hank looked at the girl and felt a little speechless: "You...... Do you believe in me too much?"

Elijah: "You're not a bad person, I don't think there's anything wrong with believing you." ”

Hank: "Then why don't you just tell me what kind of gift it is?"

Ilya said without even thinking about it: " My gift can allow me to cast magic that I can't cast with my current ability, for example, I can use the sixth and seventh order primary magic at most, but with the help of my gift, I can use the eighth order magic without hindrance, but there is a certain price, after using it, I will become an ordinary person in the next few days, and the body will not recover any magic power, which is equivalent to an overdraft in advance, the higher the level, the more serious the cost, the overdraft is not only magic, but also life, probably like this. ”

Originally, it was just a casual remark and it was a joke, but I didn't expect Ilya to answer so seriously and in detail.

Hank lowered his head and drank the soup spoonful.

Silently thought.

Alas, such a naïve girl, it seems that I have to spend a little more time protecting and protecting this way.
