wandering fairy

Zhezi took out a notebook and memorized it next to him, listening to the wine, he heard the "straight" voice getting more and more raised his head and saw that he was drunk, his eyes were dim, and he was about to fall asleep. He said, "Why don't you drink now coming?Remember that you mages rarely drink alcohol, and only drink some low-alcohol wine and liqueur. "

Navia struggled to hold up her two eyelids.He sighed intermittently: "It's good to be drunk. As long as I'm drunk, I won't think about anything, and nothing can bother me anymore. It's really good for you to try, but Dong Hezi said: "You use drowsiness to deal with it. My own physical and mental pain can only relieve temporary suffering, but cannot eliminate the worries of a lifetime.Although I don't know exactly why you are suffering, I can be sure that it is because your physical and mental operation mode does not conform to the outside world, and you are unwilling or unable to change your own physical and mental operation mode.Therefore, you will continue to suffer forever! "

Navia snorted with a half-drunk half-awake: "It's so abstract, but it's the same thing. But how to change it? How do you want me to change it? But Dong Hezi on the opposite side shook his head and said: "Although I am very I like to inquire about people's secrets, but if you don't want to say, I won't ask.It's not that I asked you to change it, but that you didn't want to change it yourself.If you don't want to, forget it, as if I didn't say this.If you want, you can continue to refer to the "Dumu Yuanjun Xinyuan Sutra" I wrote to you.Maybe you can get some enlightenment from it.You must know that only you can cut your body and mind, and others can only twist it for you."

"Twisted? Navia murmured and laughed: "That's right, I've been twisted, I've been twisted by a lot of people!I really want to tear all these bastards into pieces." Just as he was speaking, the door of this simple tent was opened. A young low-level mage with a bad complexion came in. It seemed that he was only twenty years old, but his head was It has turned gray, showing a gray and weak texture; the skin is also malnourished waxy yellow, the veins are exposed inside, and the complexion is very bad; but the eyes are fixed on Navia, and he brought him a bottle Crude, bad wine.

After drinking, Navia ignored the little mage and started drinking.Dong Hezi next to him noticed that there seemed to be hope in Master Zai's eyes, but he didn't dare to say it.After the mage left, he turned around and asked Navia, "Is this your new student?"

Navia said drunkenly: "Just do it. If it wasn't for his help, I don't know where I live. Hehe, am I full of strange smells now? I must live in a luxurious place. Dong Hezi, who will attract attention, said in his heart: I'm afraid it's because it's convenient for you to hide the undead for revenge. Then he said: "I don't think so, he is here to obtain the knowledge of blood fusion? .

Navia opened his eyes, and asked in amazement: "How do you know?" Dong Hezi smiled faintly and said, "His worn-out mage's robe is probably something from more than ten years ago. Where is it?" Pay tuition? Even if you don't charge tuition, learning the arcane requires a lot of materials, trial and error, and other things that cost money. Without money, what can he learn? Willing to be with you. Either forced by you, or There are other plans. Do you also want to get the blood of the devil or the devil like you?"

Navia laughed and said, "Devil? Hehe, the devil doesn't need a poor ghost like him. He is a bit interesting, but he hasn't really made up his mind yet. Even if I do, I won't teach him. Don't worry. This bloodline has brought me a lot of painful memories. I don’t want others to be like me.” He hiccupped drunk again, and said vaguely: “I will give him a sum of money, just as the accommodation fee

Dong Hezi left Navia, who was drunk, and let him rest in a dilapidated slum hut.

When he came out, he saw a little mage standing in front of a dilapidated hut made of dead wood and faded canvas, with an expression that was three parts anxious, five parts sackcloth, and two parts dazed.He was pushing a barbecue cart made of scrap iron and wood, slowly walking towards the outside of the slum.The car made of scraps creaked and creaked, as if it was about to collapse in the next second.Even a gust of strong wind can smash it to pieces, just like those refugees outside the city, it will turn into a pile of miserable bones that no one cares about at any time.

He looked up and saw Dong Hezi approaching, so he squeezed out an ugly smile and asked, "Are you leaving? Do you have time to go to the big square in the east of the city at night? The scenery there is very nice, There are many open-air theater performances, which are very lively at night. There is also a very refreshing wind. I barbecue there every night. If you go, you can try my craft

Dong Hezi responded casually, turned around and walked a few steps, and was stopped by him a little timidly: "Sir, are you a good friend of Mr. Navia?" Dong Hezi nodded casually and saw his nervous surroundings. I looked down and saw that there were no people in the low shacks around me that would collapse at any time.He came forward and asked nervously with sweat on his forehead: "So, do you know how Mr. Navia became

Dong Hezi smiled knowingly, and said, "You mean the inhuman blood on his body? Sorry, I don't know how he got it, because I don't like to inquire about private secrets that people don't want to talk about. Besides He is not in a good state now. Don't you know? Once you merge with other strange bloodlines, and you can't control the power of these bloodlines, you will become an existence that you can't even imagine. Your personality, your hobbies, your ideals, your interests, etc., will all become someone else, and those forces will force you to completely deny yourself and cut off all good connections with the past. It will be very Painful, as he is now. Would you like to?"

The little mage in a patched robe bowed his head and pondered for a while, then murmured to himself: "I am very happy now. Ever since my family left, everything in the past has been like a nightmare. But the present life is actually a nightmare. A Want a dream that you can't get rid of in this life?"

Dong Hezi asked curiously: "Why is it a nightmare? Is it because the ideal cannot be realized?" The other party turned his head in surprise and replied: "How do you know? Maybe my brain is too complicated. Shouldn’t people who have fallen behind give up those unrealistic ideas? Even if these ideas come from dead parents?”

Dong Hezi didn't have time to go around in circles with him, so he clarified it for him: "You seem to be a mage, or at least a very powerful person?" The other party choked up in embarrassment and cried, "Isn't this kind of idea absurd? I have no money and no talent. If I could live a quiet life like these ordinary people around me, maybe I wouldn’t be so uncomfortable. But I can’t hold back my thoughts.” His eye circles began to turn red, as if he would soon I'm going to cry.But in the end, he suppressed it forcibly, choked up a few times and said, "I'm sorry that I shouldn't have talked about this, and I wasted your time. If you are interested, you can go to the square to watch a play at night, and you can also try my roasted meat by the way." Said Then silently lowered his sad head, and pushed the creaking, broken car away that was about to be smashed anytime.

All around, there was only the whistling wind blowing over this slum that was deeply planted with rotten hair, allowing the dilapidated smell to penetrate into every dilapidated shack, making a rattling sound like a moan of pain.

When I got back to the hotel, I found the wife of the city gate guard crying incessantly in the lobby, and the two grown sons next to me were also wiping away their tears, as if someone had died at home. .Only when you ask clearly will you know that you are really about to die!

It turns out that the place where the general was assassinated happened to be under the jurisdiction of the chief guard of the city gate!If such a shocking event happened on his territory, he would naturally be arrested and sent to death row, and if he was not careful, he would end up beheaded.The wives and children at home are of course bewildered.

A few businessmen and residents next to him have kindly advised: "Anyway, your husband is only a fourth-order mage, how could he stop those well-equipped mass assassins? You can talk! The most urgent thing is to manage things up and down, and then you won’t die. Don’t cry, take out all the savings at home, and ask his friends to help. I heard that Ethel Deli Duke Da is not dead-headed either, so he won't be stubborn."

But the middle-aged woman cried even more sadly: "There are two in the family. The children will go to the magic academy. I have spent all my money in the past two years. Where can I have any money? Besides, for such a big matter, there are not tens of thousands of dollars. How did you get the gold coins? Where did you ask me to collect them all at once? Even my mother’s family can’t afford so much!” Then she hugged her two sons and cried together.It's really sad to hear.

Of course, sadness is sadness, as a businessman, the residents around him can only be sad.But a businessman made a reasonable suggestion: "I think your house and yard are not bad. If you sell it, you can get some money. Now it is important to save the life of the child's father. I suggest you sell this house to a wealthy family. As a villa, at least I can get some money to save my husband."

The woman cried even more when she heard this: "We have lived in this house for decades, and I spent all my dowry to buy it. Now that it is sold, what will our family do in the future?" She cried again non-stop.That's right, this house is not easy to come by. Once it changes hands, not only will it be necessary to move to a low-rise house, but it will also cut off an important source of income. What will be used for the two sons to learn magic?If the head of the guard loses his position due to the assassination, the difficulties will be even greater in the future.Wouldn't it be frightening and sad?

But the situation was stronger than others. After crying for a while, the woman agreed to sell the house to save her husband under the persuasion of a circle of merchants and residents.It's just that it depends on the arrangements of the gods whether they can be saved or not.
