Chapter 340: The Magic Stone and the Thief
Hey, did you find any miracles in there? We're in a mess. ”
Abram shouted along. However, he couldn't see clearly. Just now, a big guy passed overhead. In his haste, he, Guy and Martin were looking around for what had gone with the darkness.
"Nope. But what's going on outside?" shouted Glori.
"Some people said they saw the one-horned crow, but the three of us didn't see anything. Just now, the torch was useless, as if something had covered the light of the torch. We really shouldn't be following the rules, we should follow you directly into the main hall. ”
Abram did complain, but that's all. He didn't have the idea of messing up the exploration of Sky City. On the one hand, he wants to see Guy and Martin, and on the other hand, he wants to use the Sky City incident to make the Hunter family more famous. With an awareness in his heart, he is always wary of Guy and Martin around him.
Before coming here, Silver had advised. It's a pity that among those who were told, there was no Abram. Abram, not stupid. On the other side of the room, close to the wall, he heard Silver talking. In those words, they either talked about the Death Stone, or the source of the Shennuo Magic Stone.
The Shinno Magic Stone, originally from the God of Light. At that time, with the birth of the Kano clan, the magic stone was given to Kanono in the form of a token by the god of light. The magic stone not only has powerful magical powers, but also has the ability to record the past and spy on the future. There is a price to be paid for the user, and there are more negative effects than the use of the Afterlife.
If the use of the Afterlife Stone will cause people to lose their lifespan, then the use of the Shennuo Magic Stone is more than that. In the past, that is, in the ancient kingdom of Shennuo, some Shennuo scholars were interested in the role of magic stones. In order to explore the mysteries of the world, a scholar has to endure the consequences.
"A wisp of green smoke, straight into the blue sky. That's how the scholar became virtuous in the first place. Seeing Guy and Martin circling the courtyard, Abram accosted one of the Silver Gunners beside him.
In a normal day, Abram could easily detect movement around him, as easily as finding someone in the crowd with a bag full of gold coins. But unlike in the past, he noticed that his ears were a little abnormal, especially his left ear, which inexplicably buzzed. The tinnitus wasn't loud, but it was enough to make him lose the ability to judge the source of the sound.
Once upon a time, Abram had also been exposed to things like magic stones. However, the magic stones that I came into contact with in the past were not as powerful as the magic stones hidden in the sky city. The last thing he could forget was the magic stone that Master Hunter gave him.
The magic stone was collected by Abram as a gift for his twelfth birthday. At that time, Abram would use the magic stone as a lamp to illuminate the streets. Since he was a thief since he was a child, he never liked kerosene lamps and the like. Later, the gift given to him by Master Hunt was used by him as a helper to steal at night.
Abram's thieves were mostly wealthy aristocrats and merchants. On weekdays, he would steal at night. Sometimes, he also chooses to be in the daytime. Rubbing shoulders with someone, smiling back, he can quickly cut the rope around that person's waist and hide that person's purse behind his back.
After a few successes, Abram would giggle at the magic stone that Master Hunter had given him. "Look, sir, you wouldn't have imagined that the magic stone you gave me came in handy. From then on, I was no longer afraid that there would be no light shining on my path. Haha......"
After being proud, Abram would carry a money bag and stagger down the street imitating the steps of a drunken man, looking like a successful man. He took out a silver coin, threw it in front of a dilapidated house, and he went to the next one. Then he took out another silver or gold coin and threw it down.
Listening to the sound of coins landing, Abram got a laugh from it. He returned to Hunter's Manor with satisfaction, intending to continue to be taught by Lord Hunter.
Ralph Hunt said, "A child, and I'm sure you're a good boy. It's just that robbing the rich and helping the poor is not a legitimate thing. If you want to help someone, you should do it in the right way. For example, you can give them what you have saved. You know what? That magic stone can light up the night path for you, but it can't stop you from using it for other purposes. ”
It was also the year he was twelve, and Abram remembers it well. One night, some masked guys patronized Hunter Manor.
At the time, Abram was terrified to search for little Silver, who was seven years younger than him, but could not find it. As a child, he was terrified. Those people not only put down the guards in the manor, but also threatened Lord Hunter with all kinds of means. Later, he saw Mr. Hunter fall to the ground through the crack in the window.
It would be nice if he could use magic, but it's a pity that twelve-year-old Abram doesn't know much decent magic at all. He began to reproach himself for not following Master Hunter's instructions and patiently learning magic. However, self-blame does not help at all. So, he held the magic stone and thought about it.
"Abram, this magic stone will make you stop worrying about using kerosene lamps. However, that's not the real reason why I'm going to give you the Magic Stone. You have to think about what kind of person you want to be in the future. ”
"A good man!" Abram said bluntly.
A good man who can help the poor, Abram thought. It's just that he can't find what he's good at anymore except to rob the rich and give to the poor, after all, it's not enough to just share his wealth, he's just a servant of the Hunter family.
In order to get better results, Abram chose to study the transfiguration technique seriously. Magic, on the other hand, has become the lagging one of all skills. Stick to what you think is the right path, and he thinks it's a reply to Lord Hunter's advice.
Later, in order to remember Lord Hunter, Abram gave up robbing the rich and helping the poor, and inherited the so-called integrity. He concentrated on assisting Silver, and when he picked up magic again, he passed the junior magician test at the age of fifty. Due to his experience and excellent skills in hand-to-hand combat, he was placed in the Hunter family's eighteen-member mage team by Silver.
To this day, Abram still treasures the magic stone given to him by Lord Hunter. He called the magic stone "the guide of the way."
So, what should the magic stone hidden in the sky city be called?
Put away your thoughts and focus on the present. Abram, barely aware of a dark spatial portal appearing behind him. He felt that his tinnitus was because of Guy. As he expected, Guy walked out of the portal.
"Where did you hear that?" asked Guy.
"What's that?" I said, the guy on top of us wants to be a barbecue. Then, isn't it just going to be a wisp of green smoke straight into the blue sky?"
Turning around, looking at Guy, Abram was undisguised, and the lie came as soon as he opened his mouth. The only way to fool Guy is for Abram to look serious. He stared until Guy blinked from souring eyes, and Abram shrugged his shoulders.
"Actually, I want to know what Master Silver said to you and Martin. Abram was still staring at Guy.
While chasing Guy's dodgy eyes, Abram nodded vigorously, even forcing him to smile. The smile that came out of it was not kind, Guy could feel it.
Therefore, Guy also realized that his friendship with Abram was completely finished. Before coming to Sky City, Guy had spoken to Silver about the past.
Guy told Silver something. Setting traps in the woods and standing side by side with Shennuo were all things Abram did under the premise of disobeying Silver's orders. Also, in the Glaive Cliffs, Abram once helped Corriz exonerate herself so that Corriz would not be sent to prison by Alison to be tortured.
After a moment's reckoning, Guy looked at Abram again. In addition to talking to Silver about Abram's actions, Guy also listened to Silver about his approach to exploring the City in the Sky.
"Shennuo Magic Stone, I heard about it from Belton. We'll have to be careful of the Crow member who worked with Belton, because even I don't know what he's up to. Silver said.
"So, what do we do with the magic stones?" asked Guy Silver.
"Shennuo Magic Stone, listening to what Belton said, to hell with those who have used it. Even, Belton made a joke, saying that a wisp of green smoke went straight to the blue sky. But either way, we're going to have to let the blue star find out where the miracle is. So, is there anything you can do?"
"Perhaps, we should transgress the taboo of magic. ”
Before he heard Silver talk about the Magic Stone, Guy was wondering how to make someone who didn't obey Master Silver's orders disappear - he was as loyal to the Hunter family as any member of any eighteen-man mage team. Just then, Guy came up with a spell that he couldn't remember. That spell allows a person to keep their memories alive when they die.
If Blue Star finds the Stone, then Guy will do as planned: use a stratagem to get Abram to try to get his hands on the Stone. Then, save Abram's memories as a bargaining chip for future miracles as a companion, and even help Silver gain the divine power of the god of light.
According to what a good calculation, not only can I help Silver, but I can also make Abram disappear without knowing it. At the time, Guy was a bit complacent.
Now it seems that Guy has some good ideas. Guy had forgotten that Abram had been a thief, and that he was both agile and nimble. If Abram finds something wrong, he'll find out.
Now, Guy looked at Abram. From Abram's sharp gaze, Guy knew that Abram had already had an opinion on some things. Guy guessed that Abram might have had doubts since he was under the command to defend Redcliff City.
One step, one step at a time. Later, Redleaf City missed, and Abram was reprimanded by Silver, right in front of Guy's eyes.
"No one can change what happened in the past, but they can face the present. And shouldn't we all be loyal servants of the Hunt family?" Abram admonished.
