Chapter 8 (1/2)
it's dawn.
Like every morning in the past, Loren packed his bags, fed the old horse fodder, pulled out the small stones under the horseshoe, washed it all over from head to foot, wiped his body and brushed his hair... Finally, he could let the reluctant old horse put on the saddle again and hang up the luggage bag.
But in the past, there was an old knight sleeping next to him, and now there is only himself. Without saying a word, Lauren was busy with the work at hand.
Without the old knight Leonardo, where should I go next - maybe I should turn around and go back, at least I remember the way I came. Then, as the old knight said, inherit his sword and surname and live as a wandering knight.
Ayn Rand was packing up his things without saying a word. This night brought enough horror to the two people. The little wizard hasn't fully recovered until now. He just wants to leave quickly.
Bloody killings, strange temples, and those villagers' almost crazy greed... Ayin once thought he had stopped thinking and would forget all this, but now he can still feel the heaviness of that memory.
Once thought that as long as you can become a wizard, you can know everything about yourself, but now you understand how ignorant the ideas of the past are. In the face of death threat, it is not magic and knowledge that save themselves, but a wandering knight with black hair and black eyes.
”Are you ready to go?” looking at the little wizard who was stunned in situ, Loren reminded: ”if you can, we'd better leave this ghost place quickly.”
”Eh? Ah... Yes, you're right.” Ai Yin, who woke up, nodded quickly, as if he were stupid: ”we'd better leave quickly.”
”Are you all right?” Lauren frowned and said suspiciously, ”where are you going? If you're on the way, I can give you a ride.”
”I must go back to vimpal college immediately.” at this time, ain's expression became serious again: ”I must convey everything that has happened here to my tutor and Dean. I can't delay any more!”
Under the Church of the Holy Cross, there is actually a temple of a heretic God, which has been completely eroded by the void. It is even possible that the heretic evil god still exists. This is definitely not a small matter. If it is not handled properly... Ain can't imagine what will happen.
Not to mention that all the people in the whole village have evaporated, and it is impossible not to be discovered - at present, vimpar college is in danger, and the Holy Cross Church has criticized the college from beginning to end. If this matter is used as an excuse for the church, I am afraid that the College will only become more and more difficult in the future.
No matter what this is all about, we must not let it threaten the college! Ain's expression became firm: ”sorry, can you take me back to vimpal college first? I'm really worried now!”
”Of course, it's a piece of cake.” Lauren smiled and nodded. ”Just tell me how to go. The old guy actually runs very fast.” he patted the old horse behind him, and the other party spurted his nose proudly in reply.
”Thank you so much. I won't forget it.” ain nodded solemnly, but when he climbed into the saddle, he thought of another question.
”But... When the time comes, where will you go?”
”I'm a wandering knight. Of course, I can go anywhere.” Loren smiled carelessly. ”I'm probably walking along the road, and then see if I can take a chance in a market or town to see if someone will pay for me.”
How many rich people are willing to pay for a young wandering Knight like Loren? Even if it is true, will he continue to lick blood like last night? The little wizard couldn't help thinking.
”Well... If you like,” said ayin, ”you can actually go to vimpal college with me and live there.”
