The explorer was still dressed like a prodigal boy, with feathers all over his body, and an eye patch embroidered with rose petals on his right eye. Just looking at the makeup couldn't connect him with Lei Ting himself, but for some reason, Roland always felt that The image of the other party and the banquet is slightly different.
"When pretending to be a person, you need to put your whole heart into it, even thinking that you are that person, in order to deceive other people's eyes and ears. This is the first sentence the other person taught me when I learned to pretend." The red light was like a looming firefly in the dim aisle, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't concentrate on playing Sander Asuka... She will see it."
It turned out that the strange feeling came from this, Roland thought, because there is a certain danger in adulthood, so he can no longer pretend to be an irrelevant outsider who is indifferent to his daughter.
If there is concern, it is not Sander Asuka.
"Do you want to keep hiding it like this?" Roland raised his eyebrows. "You should have heard what Lightning said just now. She is destined to be an explorer."
This question made Lei Ting silent for a long time.
It was only when Roland thought that the other party would not answer, he said, "Your Majesty, do you believe in fate?"
For a moment, Roland had some doubts about the identity of the Thunder Explorer.
Isn't this the classic starting style when preaching
Of course, similar questions are also common in high school students' love letters.
But the other party is obviously not trying to find the answer, "Someone once said to me that outstanding people often die in what they are best at, and in order to make up for it, God will always give such people an unparalleled talent. This is fate, a line like The destined path is seduced by the extraordinary talent, and finally falls because of it, but the ordinary people with mediocre abilities usually live longer."
"Who said that?" Roland couldn't help asking.
"Sand, the one who introduced me to the Explorer's Path." Lei Ting took a breath.
"Wait, there really is such an explorer in the fjords? Aren't you afraid of lightning and have heard his name?"
"He has been dead for many years. He was unknown before his death, and so is after his death... According to the standards of the fjord, he cannot even be regarded as a real explorer," Surrounded by smoke, Thunder's figure almost merged with the shadow on the wall. , "By the time of his death, he had not been able to find a brand new island, or a route that had not been marked on the nautical chart. Sand didn't care about his reputation. He said that exploration itself is a kind of fun, and there is nothing wrong with lack of talent. Yes, at least don't worry about whether it will be short-lived."
Roland seemed to realize something, "Then how did he die?"
"Died to save me." Lei Ting said slowly, "The ship was attacked by a sea ghost, and Sander took a claw when he dragged me back to the cabin. The wound was small, but the herbs were ineffective. The flesh and blood quickly rotted, and three days later, I lost my breath. At that time, he told me that he still died in what he was good at. He had no other advantages in his life. The only thing he was good at was thinking he was kind."
"..." Roland suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say.
"After Lightning was born, she has shown outstanding talent in exploration. Whether it is identifying routes or drawing sea charts, her learning speed is much faster than that of ordinary people." When Lei Ting said these words, the expression on his face was extremely complicated. , "When I learned that she was awakened as a witch, this concern rose. You should know what this ability means to explorers."
Indeed, if courage, curiosity, and curiosity are still hidden human instincts that can be inspired by anyone, then having magic can only be described as a gift from the gods.
"That's why I made this decision," Lei Ting raised his head, the light in his eyes seemed to match the red light in the pipe, "If fate is unavoidable, I may be able to cut it off in another way, if I can catch the lightning Before officially embarking on the road of explorers, the veil of those unknown places will be lifted, and the chance of her encountering danger will be greatly reduced. Aside from the land occupied by the devil, no one has yet set foot on the place, only the east of the sea line and the The cliff continent seen in the remains of the Shadow Sea, when you defeat the devil, I should be able to draw a map of these two places, and until then, it is better for me to act alone."
If there is no place to explore, there will be no risk, and Roland can't help but be moved by this answer.
Although the world may be much bigger than he imagined, the idea of such an idea in this era cannot be summed up by the word courage alone.
Gravity holds everyone firmly to the ground, but it cannot restrain the thoughts of some fantasies.
The Thunder are clearly the best among them.
Flying is not just for witches.
"I understand what you mean," Roland raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, I guarantee that after the battle of divine will, you will get an unscathed lightning bolt."
"I'll leave everything to you, Your Majesty." Lei Ting stroked his chest.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from the room.
Roland nodded to the other party, turned and returned to the bedroom.
The side of the wall has been pushed away, but he did not hear the sound of the divine symbol.
"Your Majesty," Wendy said excitedly, "Lightning her... her magic power is condensed!"
Another witch who was promoted to adulthood, he saw obvious excitement in the eyes of Agatha and Wendy, which meant that their research was indeed feasible.
"Really?" Roland walked to the bed and looked at the girl who was eager to try, "Is there any discomfort?"
"Not at all," Lightning patted his chest, "I feel that my whole body is full of power! It's a pity that I couldn't release the divine will, and lighting the fourth magic stone is the limit."
"That's good," Roland sighed, "then you have a good rest today, and tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, I want to try it now, can you!" Lightning jumped out of bed, "I seem to hear it calling me, and I can't help but want to fly right away!"
Does it refer to magic? Roland couldn't help laughing. As expected of the most energetic one in the Witch League, what else could he refuse to agree to. "Take Maisie with you and don't fly too far."
"Yes!"
"Goo!"
The wall on one side was still half-open. Maisie turned into a dove and fell to the top of Lightning's head. Then she held the dove with both hands, and with a swish, she got out of the room and disappeared into the night sky with the cold wind whistling.
"I don't know how her condensed abilities will behave..." Wendy murmured while looking at the night, "Tomorrow will be busy again."
"Please let me use the multicolored magic stone to observe it during the test." Phyllis added.
"Anyway, let's stop here today and wait until tomorrow"
Just as Roland was halfway through his words, there was a thunderous explosion in the sky!
The sound is so strong, it is as real! The snow on the eaves was shaken by white fog, ice cubes fell like raindrops, and the glass windows of the castle were also cracked, as if being brushed by an invisible giant hand.
In the stunned gazes of the witches, the echoes caused by the thunder echoed back and forth in the mountains of despair, and they did not disappear for a long time.
