Although he has already made up his mind to go south to find Celine, Link is the lord of a land, and the entire construction of the territory depends on him to make decisions, so he can't just leave, he has to make arrangements. .
It took him three days. During the three days, he left enough gold coins to make basic arrangements for the construction plan for the next three months.
Three days later, unfortunately, there was a super hurricane passing through the border. The scene was really flying sand and rocks. People walking on the road were almost blown up. The sea was even more violent and the rain was pouring down. Also mixed with finely divided hailstones.
People are shivering in the scorched earth ridge, praying to the gods to protect them, and don't let the strong wind blow away their wooden houses.
In this extremely bad weather, Link set off resolutely despite the strong wind and heavy rain despite the dissuasion of Lucy and others.
When he summoned the Gale Wolf and ran towards the south in the storm, memories related to Celine kept appearing in Link's mind. The game and reality were all intertwined.
"Why, aren't you afraid of me? I'm a devil~" On the top of Greenstone's clock tower, Celine smiled pretentiously.
"I can't choose my origin, but I can choose the path I want to take!" During the game, Celine looked determined.
"My father? Humph! He's a piece of shit in the abyss!" This was her look of wrath.
"Oh, Link, you are such an interesting magician, frankly, I think I'm in love with you, hee hee, don't you take it seriously?"
"Fool, I like to see you mortals looking stupid the most."
Memories of the past flashed through his mind one scene after another, each scene was exceptionally clear, Link only felt a flame burning in his heart.
"Celine, here I come!"
He accelerated the speed of the giant wind wolf, raising the speed to the extreme.
'Huh~huh~' The wind howled, and the world was vast.
'Crack' The sky suddenly lit up, and a snow-bright electric snake flashed across. The raindrops contained hailstones, and they smashed towards Link. Even with the protection of the edelweiss magic, facing the force of the world, Lin Ke also looked a little embarrassed. From time to time, because he couldn't see the terrain clearly, the man and the wolf would fall out together.
Every time he fell into the air, Link summoned a giant wolf to catch his body, and then continued to run at an undiminished speed.
At this moment, Link is no longer the famous magic master in the world, and he is no longer the lord, he is just a young man who is going through a prosperous time.
…
There are six countries in the south, each of which has a relatively small territory. The six kingdoms together are only 1.5 times the size of the Norton Kingdom. In order to compete with the northern lion, these six countries formed an alliance called the Free Trade Alliance.
Among the six countries, the Kingdom of Leo ranks last in terms of national power and the smallest land area, only 800,000 square kilometers. Although the kingdom is small, there is a magician organization that is famous throughout the country in the southern suburbs of Baiyan City, the capital. , This is the Southern Federation of Wizards.
Unlike northerners who like tall magic spires, southerners don't like to build magic towers, they prefer to build magnificent castles.
The location of the Union of Magicians is a huge group of castles, covering a total area of over 30,000 mu. There are 6 main castles arranged in a hexagram array. On the outskirts of the castle complex, there are circles of residential areas. These are the residences of ordinary people who depend on the federation to survive. There are at least five thousand people, including servants, coachmen, horse breeders, horse trainers, and scroll merchants. Wait, it looks like a magical city.
Vivier, the youngest magical genius in the Federation, studies magic here.
Vivier, 21 years old this year, has silver hair and silver eyes. In three months, he was promoted to a level 5 magician. Such an achievement was unprecedented in the federation, and he thus obtained the right to use Merlin's wand.
Originally, if there were no accidents, Vivier's magic path should go smoothly. His magic level will continue to rise, level 6, level 7, or even level 8, and he will most likely become the next president of the union.
But an incident two months ago completely disrupted his calm state of mind.
This morning, Vivier woke up as usual, after taking a shower, he ate some breakfast casually, and then he went to the large library of the Federation. Last night he had an inspiration about multicasting, and he was going to check Check to see if you can get the guidance of the wisdom of the sages.
Coming out of his own room is a long corridor. There are already many magicians who got up early in the corridor. When these magicians saw Vivier, they all respectfully saluted as mages, and Vivier also nodded in return.
Just walking all the way, when he reached the Elotinson Square outside the castle, a word suddenly floated into his ears.
"Did you know? The investigation team has returned." This is what a magic apprentice said.
"Ah, how's the situation?" another person asked hastily, and Vivier also pricked up his ears, and at the same time slowed down his pace.
"Ten people went there, but only three came back with heavy damage. It is said that they found that the demon was related to the Syndicate, and that group of damned thieves were hiding their whereabouts for the demon."
"Syndicate is really hateful!" Another magic apprentice became angry and shook his fist fiercely.
Hearing this, the two magic apprentices turned away, and Vivier also turned around, no longer going to the big library, but walking towards the residence of his mentor, Master Hanlot.
Master Hanluot is a level 6 peak magician. He is over 60 years old and his energy is not as good as before. He doesn't get up until 9 o'clock every day. At this time, you can meet him after a while.
The master's room is on the first floor of the castle, and there is a young maid waiting at the door. Seeing Vivier, the maid whispered: "Sir, the master is not awake yet, please wait a moment."
"Well, good." Wevier found a chair in the castle hall and sat down, then took out a magic book and read it.
Usually, he would be able to immerse himself in it quickly and forget everything around him, but today he couldn't calm down no matter what.
Two months ago, traces of demons appeared in the capital, and he also joined the investigation team. During that investigation, he saw the girl, and with just one glance, he felt as if he was being shocked by an electric shock. He felt that the whole world seemed to have lost everything. The color, all the aura and beauty all converged on the girl.
During the subsequent operations, he lost his mind and felt like sleepwalking. After making a few mistakes, he realized that something was wrong and he voluntarily withdrew from the investigation team.
It was later proved that the girl was also a demon, but it still couldn't change Vivier's perception.
"How could such a beautiful woman be a demon?" Although Vivier looked at the magic book, what appeared in his mind was the scene of that day.
It was at the ordinary market in Baiyan City. The other party was wearing an ordinary light blue linen skirt, holding a vegetable basket in his hand, and was bargaining with several vegetable farmers in the market. She looked like an ordinary housewife. In Baiyan City, there are countless women like this, and the other party is just prettier.
However, after looking at the other party head-on, Vivier fell into an inexplicable fall.
Those lively eyes, playful nose, and crescent eyebrows that slightly frowned when he saw him in a daze, pierced his heart like a sharp arrow shot by the god of love.
"I don't know how she is now? Has she been injured by the magician of the investigation team? Has she ... hurt anyone?" Various thoughts came and went in Vivier's mind, and he was extremely entangled.
Suddenly, a maid's voice came from my ear: "Sir? Sir?"
"Huh?" Vivier woke up startled, and looked up at the maid.
"The master has already woken up, you can go to see him."
"Oh, oh, good." Vivier put away an unturned page of the magic book, and followed the maid into the tutor's room.
The decoration of Hanluot's room is very simple and simple. He is such a person, he doesn't like extravagance and waste, he likes everything to be simple, and he only likes to wear a simple white robe in his daily life.
Seeing his favorite disciple, the old man smiled: "Sit down, young man."
He likes to call young people who are close to him young men, and he likes the vitality unique to young people in the other party.
"Yeah." Wevier sat down on a hard wooden stool, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Mentor, I heard that the investigation team suffered heavy losses this time."
Speaking of this, Hanluot's face darkened, and he nodded slightly: "The power of the devil is very strong."
"Have you killed demons?" Vivier asked again.
Harold shook his head: "One was seriously injured, but it was rescued by its two companions. They are very strong. Even if we opened the sealing barrier in advance, we couldn't stop them."
"Then... have you seen the demon that looks like that woman?" This was not an appropriate question, but Vivier didn't hold back.
Hanlot frowned, his slightly cloudy eyes fixed on Wevill, and his voice was solemn: "Young man, your thoughts are very dangerous."
"Mentor..." Vivier wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Lott waving his hand.
The old man's face was very serious, and his eyes were extremely sharp: "Wevier, you have a very bright future, don't ruin it! Now, I ask you to swear, you swear to me in the name of the Lord of Radiance, never to fight with that demon Women have any entanglements!"
"Mentor!" Weaver wanted to argue, but Hanlot stared at him with serious eyes.
Under such a tough attitude, Vivier was defeated and said in a low voice: "In the name of the Lord of Radiance, I swear that I will never have any contact with that demon woman in my life. When I see her, I will ... mercilessly shot and killed her."
Hanlot was satisfied, and he patted Vivier on the shoulder: "Very good, young man. Remember, the more beautiful the devil is, the more he can charm people. Those who are charmed will have a miserable ending. I don't want to see me The best disciples are destroyed at the hands of demons."
"Thank you, mentor." Vivier felt a little frustrated, but also grateful to his mentor.
"Well, go ahead, settle down and study magic well, strive to be promoted to level 6 and become a master as soon as possible, and don't let the group of barbaric mages in East Valley be proud for too long." Hanluot patted Vivier on the shoulder, with an encouraging expression on his face color.
Vivier nodded, got up and left Hanlott's room, and when he walked outside the door, he subconsciously let out a long sigh, feeling powerless all over his body, as if he had lost something extremely important in his life.
'Alas, she is a devil, I can't possibly be with her, forget it, forget it. ’ Vivier shook his head and sighed, and continued towards the large library.
…
Baiyan City, market area, an ordinary residence.
Although people from the Union of Magicians found traces, Celine still didn't leave White Rock City, or even the market area, but just changed her residence.
It is true that it is very dangerous because it is close to the Union of Magicians, but those magicians are also her protectors, and with them, the demons behind her will not dare to be too unscrupulous.
At this time, Celine was treating the wound on her arm on the second floor of the residence. It was wounded by a spinner armor demon yesterday afternoon. The wound was deep enough to show the bone, but fortunately no bone was injured. Fortunately, the magicians arrived in time. Come here, otherwise she might really be caught back to the abyss.
The chaotic aura of the abyss was stained on the wound, and the surrounding flesh had been rotten. She had to cut off all the flesh, otherwise the chaotic aura would affect her mind.
She used a small knife to cut the necrotic carrion on her body bit by bit. It was very painful. Celine couldn't help shivering slightly, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat, but she gritted her teeth and persisted until all the carrion was cut. He took a deep breath and leaned against the wall weakly.
Stretching out his hand, he casually smoothed the sweat-soaked hair on his temples. Those crystal clear and moist beautiful eyes fixedly stared at the roof. There was a spider web on the wooden beams of the roof, and a small insect was accidentally stuck. Struggling hard, but all in vain, the spider was sprinting towards its prey.
'Am I the bug that hit the net? '
Celine suddenly felt very sad. She was struggling in this world alone, and her only friend was far away in the north, so she couldn't help her at all.
She could barely hold on anymore.
'Link, what should I do? The black-haired young man seemed to appear in front of Celine's eyes, and his voice seemed to be heard in his ears: "People can't choose their own birth, but they can choose what kind of path they want to take." '
'But why is my road so rough? 'Celine closed her eyes, and a crystal teardrop rolled down slowly from the corner of her eye.
