Miriam woke up from the nightmare crying, tears flowing uncontrollably, making the people in front of her look blurry.

"Awake?" the man said, handing something to him. "Drink some water. You've been sweating all over. You need to drink some water."

Miriam was frightened. She didn't dare to move, or even cry anymore. Today was the day she met the most strangers in her short life, and they only brought her the fear that she could not understand.

Murphy sighed, well, she was really frightened too much.

Miriam once said that Murphy saved her when she was young, but she didn't expect it to happen at this time.

In order to fake his own death and make the gods let down their guard and use the magic network, Murphy, after fighting with the gods of Tuatha de Danu, simply left a charred corpse and then activated a time jump and slipped away.

Even though the gods suspected the body, Murphy had indeed disappeared completely, and I believe they would soon forget about him.

The time jump this time span was less than a hundred years. Murphy had intended to learn about the layout of the magic network in the current world, but he did not expect to see someone preparing to kill children as soon as he appeared.

When faced with something like this, he certainly couldn't just sit there and do nothing, which led to the previous scene.

Only after rescuing the person did he realize from her hair color that the girl might be Miriam.

Time jumps are highly random. Even if Murphy can roughly control the duration of the jumps, it is difficult to accurately determine the time to a certain day or place. It is truly a coincidence that he could appear at the execution ground at such a critical moment.

But if we consider that Miriam had already told him about the fact of saving people, this matter seemed like a kind of destiny.

From the perspective of an ordinary person who lives along the flow of time, the contradiction is simply mind-boggling, but as Murphy has traveled through time several times, he has become accustomed to such things and has become calm and composed.

Time and space are continuous and integrated. The past, present and future do not exist, or rather, they exist at the same time.

It is only because humans have limited observable information and are in roughly the same time flow as all macroscopic things that they have the illusion that time is moving forward steadily and evenly.

In Miriam's timeline, Murphy saved her first, and then she could tell Murphy that she was rescued. This is in line with the cognitive logic of ordinary people.

But in Murphy's timeline, he felt that Miriam told him that she would save the other person first, and then the rescue event happened - it seemed like a prophecy that was fulfilled or a destined event.

This is why Miriam was able to become a prophet by relying on the information provided by Sophia.

But now, Miriam's condition is not very good.

Suffering such a devastating blow can be devastating to a child's heart.

Murphy thought for a moment and extended a hand to her. "Although interfering with other people's memories is somewhat unethical, just think of it as a psychological treatment."

As he spoke, he mobilized his magic power and began to read and adjust Miriam's memory, blurring today's experience and reducing the intensity of the emotional memory related to it, so that she would only remember some basic facts and forget most of the painful details.

He then teleported the comatose Miriam to a forest in Cornwall.

The cabin I had seen before was still there, but it looked much newer, as if it had just been built.

This is where the "grandfather" Miriam once mentioned lived.

Murphy had a lot of things to do and couldn't take care of a child, so he thought of the grandfather who raised Miriam.

As Murphy approached the cabin with Miriam in his arms, he heard a low shout, "Stop! This is my place, get out of here!"

Next to a big tree in the forest, there stood a hunter with long hair and beard like a wild man. He had already drawn the string of his longbow and aimed at Murphy. "Hello, Martin."

Murphy's magic instantly penetrated the old hunter's memory and saw his whole life.

He once served the lord as a longbowman, but after the lord's castle was captured, he had to find another way to make a living. Later, his wife and two children died of plague, and the old hunter lived a hermit-like life in the mountains.

After watching the hunter's life, Murphy knew that the hunter was kind-hearted, and the fact that he lived in seclusion would help prevent Miriam's magic from causing any trouble, making him an ideal person to entrust his child to.

Murphy ignored the hunter's longbow and stepped forward, which irritated the hunter. Martin warned him again: "Stop, or you will get hurt!"

However, Murphy did not stop. Martin frowned, adjusted the aiming position of the arrow, and shot an arrow at a tree next to Murphy.

Martin just wanted to drive the man away, and even if he didn't dodge, the arrow would not hurt Murphy.

But to Martin's surprise, the arrow suddenly stopped when it was about one meter in front of Murphy, then slowly turned the arrow head and shot back towards him.

Martin was startled and dodged subconsciously, but the arrow had already arrived, hovering just two palms away from his forehead in an instant. The arrow feathers were still shaking, as if they could break free from their restraints and pierce his head at any time.

Faced with this unreasonable scene, Martin rationally dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and raised his hands.

Murphy came to the hunter and handed the girl in his arms to him. The latter took it subconsciously, but was still confused.

"Take good care of her." Murphy said concisely.

Martin looked at the sleeping girl in his arms, somewhat confused. He saw Murphy turn around and leave, and wanted to chase him, but the arrow was still in front of him, so he dared not move. He could only watch Murphy suddenly disappear in a twist.

At the same time, the arrow that was constantly trembling stopped, and then began to turn golden color little by little from the tip of the arrow, and finally turned into a pure gold arrow and fell dully to the ground.

The mysterious man's voice came from afar, "Here is your reward."

Although Murphy is not yet able to directly transform other substances into gold - this involves the conversion of materials at the atomic level, the accuracy of his magic control is not yet at that level. If he forces it to be done, not only will it consume a lot of magic power, it will also not appear so casual.

But he had a skin that could produce gold regularly, and he had plenty of gold on hand. It would be much easier for him to replace the arrow with a golden arrow through some sleight of hand.

This arrow weighs more than a pound, which is more than enough to be used as a reward for raising a girl.

Just in case, Murphy planted a spiritual seed in Martin's mind, but did not activate it.

He believed that with the other party's kindness, he would naturally take good care of the girl, and this seed of the soul was just to prevent some extreme situations from happening.

After making arrangements with Miriam, Murphy recited a spell, but there was no response.

Sure enough, there is no magic network covering this area.

This place is obviously not far from Camelot, and the first magic network node that he set up was in the Camelot Valley.

This was not surprising, because when he first appeared in Camelot, he did not feel the existence of the magic network.

Could it be that the gods discovered the trap in the magic net and destroyed it?
It seems unlikely.

It is not difficult to confirm this. As the builder of the magic network node, Murphy left a lot of backdoors in it. He can access the magic network not only through conventional means.

Thinking of this, the fluctuations of magic power around him were adjusted to an extremely high and narrow frequency, and then he scanned in a directional manner and immediately locked onto a direction.

There he connected to a Leyline node.

After estimating the distance, Murphy knew where it was.

London.
