"Put down the boat, let's go ashore somewhere else." Saul looked at the distant coastline, turned around and said to the captain.
"I am willing to serve you, respected Master Thor." The captain was stunned and said with a smile: "But... the Lord of Bastak City should be ready for the ceremony, you..."
"No, my old friend and I still have some things to deal with, and I am in a hurry to return to the Mao Empire, so I will not stay in Tumen." Thor pondered for a moment: "You tell Bastak, Yagor He's dead, so don't worry about him. Well... I still need Bastak's help with something. Ask him to block the news and try not to let anyone know about Yagor. I will be back in ten days. Although Yagor is my enemy, but I don’t want him to find peace after his death!”
The captain was a smart man. He knew what Thor meant by what he said, and hurriedly said: "Master Thor, don't worry, these sailors don't know what's on that island, and they don't know your identity. Only I We only know it with the Lord of Bastak City, as long as we keep it a secret, no one will know."
"That's good." Sol nodded, glanced at An Fei, and smiled: "An Fei, do you want to see the prosperity of Tumen?" After a long conversation yesterday, Sol preferred to learn more An Fei worked tirelessly. If An Fei wanted to stay in Tumen for a few more days, Sol would probably change his original intention, otherwise he wouldn't ask An Fei specifically about his intentions.
"No, teacher, maybe I'm used to being on a desert island. I like silence."
"Very good. Only when you are not attracted by the noise of the world can you achieve great things!" In Saul's view, An Fei has advantages all over his body, so no matter what An Fei says, he will naturally give it affirmation. Not to mention being studious, simple and loyal, An Fei got up very early this morning and prepared hot water for Sol and Ernest, as well as a rich breakfast. Although it was It's a small thing, but Sol found another advantage of Anfei from the side: hard work!
"Master Sol, the boat has been prepared for you." The captain smiled and said, "Do you have any other requests?"
"Okay, you guys stay here for a while first, and then we dock." Thor nodded. The Lord of Bastak City is a very enthusiastic person, especially towards Thor. He can be considered as flattering in every possible way. Thor Although he knew that the main reason for Bastak's enthusiasm was his identity as a great magician, as the saying goes, if you don't hit the smiling man with your fist, it would be hard for him to refuse Bastak's invitation. The best way to get out of trouble is to sneak away. method.
"Let's go, it's my mother-in-law's again!" Ernest became impatient. He strode to the side of the ship, jumped up and landed on the boat. Ernest's actions seemed simple, but in fact he was very knowledgeable. His landing point was exactly at the center of the boat's force, because the bow and stern of the boat sank at the same speed, and there was no difference between the sinking and the floating. Tilt, if Ernest's landing point is slightly off, it will never be so stable.
Sol held An Fei's hand and used the floating technique. The two of them landed on the boat as gently as feathers. An Fei sat down consciously and grabbed the oar. There were no sailors on the boat, so he couldn't let it go. Sol or Ernest work as coolies, and he still has the value of this insight.
"Can you row?"
"Yes, I can." An Fei showed a hearty smile.
"No need to row, sit still." Sol pointed to the stern of the boat with his hand and muttered a spell in a low voice. A strong wind blew over, and the bow of the boat was slightly raised, and it sailed out quickly.
An Fei couldn't help but stick out his tongue. After being in contact with Thor for the day, his prejudice against magic has changed a lot. No matter whether the power of advanced magic is as powerful as the legend, he has seen the convenience of magic. .
The captain stared blankly at the boat going away, with a look of reluctance on his face. As a confidant of the Lord of Bastak, retaining Master Sol and letting him stay in the city for a few more days is his most important task. , but given his courage, he didn't dare to force Master Saul to stay. All he could do was figure out how to go back and do business.
After a while, the boat stopped on the shore. This place was far away from the port. There was only a small fishing village in front of it. A few dark-faced fishermen looked at the strangers timidly, but did not dare to come over to say hello or ask how they were. sentence. This kind of small fishing village may not be able to produce a magic apprentice for hundreds of years. Even ordinary magicians are considered to be superior to them. Not to mention intelligent life, even reptiles have the nature to avoid the strong and tend to the weak. , and Sol and An Fei were both wearing conspicuous magic robes, so how could the fishermen dare to go up and ask questions.
"Thor, this silly boy will have to be taken care of by you from now on." Ernest stepped ashore, looked at the sky, and said slowly.
"I'm not stupid..." An Fei scratched his head just right and murmured in a low voice.
"Ernest, are you leaving again? Where are you going?" Saul heard Ernest's voice.
"Me? I am a person who is used to being idle. I have no destination. You should go back to the Mao Empire. I will stop by the Tumen Business Alliance before talking about it."
"Ernest, why don't you come with me to the Mao Empire." Sol smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that I will bring you trouble?"
"Trouble?" Saul's expression looked very solemn: "Ernest, if I were a person who was afraid of trouble, would I regard you as my best friend? How many times have I told you? As long as you and I Working together, it is not a problem to deal with a Jerofik! But you have repeatedly rejected me! Ernest, I advise you, forget about the damn fairness and justice! I am the chief assassin of the palace, and I have seen it. The shady story is far beyond your imagination! Have you forgotten how Jerofik dealt with you? "
Ernest looked at Saul quietly without saying a word. After experiencing that ordeal, Ernest might not believe anything anymore, but he would never doubt Saul. In the painful days, the world laughed at him as a victim, but sympathized with Jerofik, the coward. Only Saul still trusted him and tried every means to help him. Ernest knew how precious this friendship was!
Thor looked at An Fei. He was worried that these words would have a negative impact on An Fei. Seeing An Fei's calm expression, he was relieved and continued: "I know you are waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, but the opportunity is not You have to create what you are waiting for! Jerofik is now the commander of the Allison Empire's Storm Legion. He has been awarded the rank of marshal. There are many strong people around him. As Jerofik's status becomes higher and higher, , your chance of revenge is getting slimmer and slimmer! Why are you doing this? You might as well go to the Maho Empire with me! Now the relationship between the Maho Empire and the Alison Empire is getting more and more tense. Once a war breaks out, Alison The Empire’s Storm Legion will definitely become the main force to fight against the Mao Empire. Are you and I worried that we won’t find a chance by then? Besides… I also have some troubles, and you can help me tide over the difficulties when you go to the Mao Empire!”
"Old friend, I know what you are thinking." Ernest's voice trembled slightly: "You are the palace counselor, you have a high position, and you want to find some people to help you deal with it... That is an easy task, but you But you came to me... I know, I know, you want to deliberately owe me a favor. When I want to deal with Jerofik in the future, even if I don't come to you, you will take the initiative to come to me and pay it back. Help me as a favor, right?"
Sol's face turned red and he said angrily: "Since you know this, why are you still stubborn? In a word, will you follow me or not?" Sol did have this purpose, and he also wanted to use the truth to Ernest. A special inspiration, you don’t have to do things alone, the means are not important, what is important is the results, just like he teamed up with Ernest to deal with Yagor!
It wasn't acting, An Fei's eyes showed emotion. Real friends like Sol and Ernest! One is afraid of causing trouble to the other, and would rather wander to the end of the world than seek shelter from friends. The other is doing everything possible to think about the other, fearing that the other will not accept his kindness, and even uses a trap-like method to find an honest reason for his action. , making friends for this reason is so precious!
As an assassin, An Fei is destined to be lonely. He doesn't want, cannot, and dare not make a close friend! There are too many channels to reveal one's secrets. It is difficult to avoid factors such as talking in sleep, drunkenness, accidents, etc. Whenever someone is by his side, An Fei will feel inexplicably nervous. He is afraid that others will discover his true face. Only when he was alone in a room could An Fei truly relax. An assassin must relax his mind and body from time to time, otherwise he is likely to make mistakes in his next action, so An Fei would rather hide in the bathroom and talk to himself than go out with anyone.
If it were another person who stayed alone on a desert island for a few years, his mentality would definitely become abnormal. However, An Fei lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Although he tried to cross the strait several times, he finally overcame the restlessness of his mind. , the reason why he can reach this point is because he is used to being alone!
"I..." Ernest showed a wry smile. Thor had reached this point and could no longer refuse him: "Okay, I will go to the Maho Empire with you."
"Okay!" Sol smiled happily: "That's it!"
"It seems that you have to deal with the Lord of Bastak City." Ernest smiled and said: "The magic teleportation array of the Tumen Business Alliance is controlled by him. Could it be that... we just go back like this?"
"Why use a teleportation array?" Thor thought for a while: "Let's go to the town ahead and buy a carriage. We can also see the scenery along the way."
"Carriage? You old guy has always been too lazy, why did you think of taking a carriage? Besides, aren't you going back to the Maho Empire to deal with some things?"
Sol glanced at An Fei and said nothing with a smile.
Ernest suddenly realized that for a boy who had been alone on a desert island for several years, the world had become strange. He could not just send An Fei to the Magic Academy, otherwise An Fei's character might become withdrawn. The best solution is to let An Fei have more contact with the world. Sitting in a carriage and watching the scenery along the way is fake. Giving An Fei some time to see more of the humanistic atmosphere along the way is real. Only in this way can An Fei be helped. Fei integrates into this world as soon as possible. Ernest had to admit that Sol was indeed qualified to be a teacher, and he was really thoughtful about Anfei.
