Girl, Ranger and Dark Horse (3)
Vancl Village is a special village, the villagers love to celebrate, no matter what the day is, they can always find a reason to celebrate in the village.
Spring is coming, celebrate!
Spring is gone, celebrate!
Then summer is coming, so why not celebrate?!
In ordinary days, the wind and waves are calm, so celebrate for the calm waves!
On rainy days, when it rains heavily, celebrate for the rain!
It's reasonable to wake up in a good mood today, don't you celebrate?
Wake up in a bad mood today, don't celebrate, can you be happy?
All in all, the villagers of Vancl are either celebrating or preparing to celebrate, they are optimistic, they love life, and they look forward to the bright future that they should have thought will come.
So Hank loves the village.
Every time he travels or walks on the way home, whether it is smooth or not, he likes to come here for a night, which is a pleasure for him.
It's just that he didn't expect that before he came to Vanke Village, there were already guests in the village.
A beautiful girl with a pale golden ponytail.
Hank asked expressionlessly, "Why are you here?"
Ilya straightened the wreath of celebration around her neck and said with a smile, "I stumbled upon this village, and you didn't even tell me about such an interesting place, it's too much of an outrage." ”
Hank: "You didn't go to Haikou City, you didn't go to Phoenix, you didn't go to the Imperial City, but you came here in the opposite direction from all three?"
Ilya shook his index finger and said: "You don't know this, everything will be missing a lot of fun if you act according to the map marked, the greatest joy of travel is its unknown, you know where to go next, who to meet, what to play, so where to look forward to?"
"Hahaha, look, our old guest Hank is here again, today is a good day, the new guest is on the front foot, the old guest is on the heel, we must celebrate tonight!"
Joining the conversation between the two is the head of Vancl Village, the Celebration King, who Hank has visited so many times and doesn't know the name of this village chief, because not only he calls himself, but even the entire village calls him the Celebration King, and most of the festival initiators in the village are him, and he is also the organizer and planner.
Celebration King: "Long time no see, my good buddy Hank, you came at the right time this time, the young man in the village hunted during the day, and hunted a big wild boar, you may not believe it, this beast is bigger than five me, this kind of thing is extremely rare in our village, we must celebrate, you see, and counting you and this beautiful female guest, this celebration must be three times better than before, otherwise it will lose my name as the king of celebrations!"
Hank: "Yes, you're right, the Celebration King, I came at a good time, but before I do that, allow me to speak alone with you, the female guest. ”
The Celebration King smiled evilly: "Oh oh, I know, I understand, then I won't bother you, the decoration of this celebration is indispensable to the help of the Celebration King! Hey, boys, get me moving, today is a good day, we have to do it beautifully!"
"Of course!"
"You're right, King!"
"Maybe we should light torches on top of every room, it will add to the atmosphere!"
"Fire, increase the fire, the movement is too slow, I'm going to be hungry tonight, the guys who cut meat over there are speeding up their hands and feet, you are even worse than my grandma now!"
Ilya was so excited by the lively atmosphere that she raised her hand to wave goodbye to the celebratory king.
Hank blocked the other party's gaze and asked condescendingly, "Explain your intentions, sorceress from Kalbas, what are you following me for?"
Ilya was stunned for a moment, frowned and took a few steps back, and said, "How do you know that I am from Kalbas, and how do you know that I am a magician? ”
Hank: "Identifying a mage can be a tricky task, but that's for someone else, and as for why I know you're from Kalbas, maybe be more cautious the next time you ask a question, and don't reveal too many flaws." ”
Ilya's eyes rolled, and then she calmly crossed: "Well, I'll admit that you're right, I'm from the Kalbass Empire, and I'm a magician, but I'm also a traveler, and besides, I'm not following you or your horse. ”
The black horse swept his tail and licked his mouth, and couldn't wait to see the two of them fight, and he could have a full meal, the girl in front of him was so sweet that it must taste great.
Hank: "How?"
He was silently ready to attack or defend, and he had to be careful not to harm the village behind him that he loved so much.
Elijah: "What I said is the best proof of that. ”
The girl looks at Hank in a dignified manner, but it is clear that Hank does not eat this set.
Ilya: "You know, if I wanted to have a plot against you, I would have done it a long time ago, so why bother?"
Hank: "yes, who knows?"
There was a muffled sound in the air, the shouts of the villagers stopped, the action froze, and time seemed to stand still.
Hank's robe was all bulging, and his whole body was pouring out a huge amount of magic, and Elijah felt as if she saw a huge mountain standing in front of her, and the strong sense of oppression made it difficult for her to breathe.
Ilya: "Wait, wait, I'm willing to let you probe my brain to prove my innocence!"
The mana flowed back slightly, not continuing to flood Ilya.
Hank: "Are you sure?"
Ilya craned her neck and said, "I'm afraid I'm afraid that I'm going to be crushed to pieces by you the next moment if I say it." ”
There is only one type of magic that probes the brain, and it is called the Sea of Consciousness. This is a very operable spell, and it is also a magic that requires the cooperation of the recipient to be successful.
Of course, if you are brave enough, you can do it without the other person's permission, but if you get into the opponent's brain and the other person resists, it is very likely that you will lose both.
The sea of consciousness requires you to go deep into the other person's body to probe everything that the other person has experienced before, and to probe without concealment.
Normally, spirits become very fragile when they leave the physical body, let alone enter the other person's body. The only way to deal with the spirits is to fight back with your own spirits, so it can be dangerous for both parties.
Hank was stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to make such a direct proposal.
Ilya was the first to reach out and summon a magic circle, a magic circle that made a contract, saying that she would never resist when Hank probed her brain.
This means that Hank can erase Elijah's soul at any time, leaving her an empty shell in the future.
Hank paused again, then stretched out his hand to summon the magic circle that made the contract, and with a touch of his hands, the contract was completed.
Ilya closed her eyes, put her face up, and cast the sea of consciousness on the other party in a dignified manner.
Hank looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly withdrew all his magic power, and the surrounding sounds flowed again.
Ilya opened an eye slit and said, "Don't look at it?"
Hank: "No, doing this is enough to prove that you don't have bad intentions in mind, at least not for me, so that's enough." ”
Ilya smiled.
Hank raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't have to worry at all if I really spy on you and make it bad, then you really can't do anything at all." ”
Elijah: "Haha, I'm not worried about this at all, I said it all, you're not a bad person, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Hank didn't know whether to say that the girl was very confident in her eyes, or whether to call the girl stupid.
What an inexplicable guy.
The matter was settled, and Ilya immediately came back to life, and he rushed to join the celebration with a big laugh.
......
...
The arrival of darkness is the beginning of the celebration.
As the king of celebrations said, the young people of the village did indeed hunt an exaggerated boar.
The five large long tables spliced together take up more than half of the wild boar alone, leaving only a small space for some vegetables and fruits.
The King of Celebrations took almost all the "constructive" suggestions of the villagers.
Torches are lit around the houses and sprinkled with glitter, a powder that changes color when mixed with the flames, so that each room wears a "hat" of different colors.
Hank had warned that this was a dangerous thing, and that if many old houses with a lot of wood dust were accidentally set on fire, the whole village could be burned to fire.
When the celebration king heard this, he laughed and praised Hank for being really joking, and said that only their enthusiasm could ignite the house, how could a mere spark be made?
Hank had no choice but to stroke his forehead, how could he fall in love with such a village?
He had no choice but to secretly mobilize the wind around him and protect him around the torches, so that the falling fire would not ignite the old house.
Lya straddled her legs, one left and one right, jumping and jumping, the wine jug in her left hand, the boar's leg in her right, chewing meat in her mouth and shouting with the villagers around the fire, dancing a strange dance, the fire shining her greasy mouth.
The new guest who was visiting for the first time had more fun than the old ones.
It's a pity that the dark horse is lying on the side, and Hank doesn't fight with Ilya, and he loses a good meal.
At this time, the drunken celebration king passed by, looked at the black horse crookedly, and then suddenly picked up the horse's face and kissed it.
How could the dark horse, who was regretting, expect that the human beings in front of him would have such a move, and jumped on the spot in shock.
The king of celebration shouted: "What's the matter, you dare to snub our guests, it is simply a shame on our mortal village, come on, wild boar...... Huh, my friend, you're really tall, and ...... How do you have four legs?"
After saying that, he fell to the ground.
The black horse stared at the two big horses and looked at the drunk man on the ground, a little at a loss.
Suddenly, the Celebration King's body shook twice, and he stood up with a sigh.
"Come on, let's make our celebration more intense and lively!"
Then the King of Celebration walked towards the crowd like a nobody, and then fell to the ground again.
The old women of the drunken aunts and women began to gather around Hank with the flasks, and it was a constant thing, and the older women always wanted to rub oil on this handsome young man from a foreign country. In the past, Hank could still parry, but tonight, the enthusiasm of the women seems to be much higher, and their hands and feet are correspondingly faster.
In the midst of the confusion, Hank spotted someone in the crowd looking at him with a grin.
The pale golden ponytail jumped in the firelight.
Damn, I shouldn't have handed those jerkys in the first place!
Before he could reflect, Hank drowned in the pile of women.
Seeing this, Ilya laughed and raised the flask, shouting, "Come on, guys, let's take tonight's celebration to another new level, woohoo!"
