"Madam, Elise, to be honest, I haven't thought about whether I should be the leader as Parrish said. I just woke up less than a week ago..." Arthur held the
Tomato soup was scooped with a silver spoon. Mrs. Eno, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, put her long pipe aside and used the pipe hood to extinguish the sparks inside.
"It's not important, Arthur. We know you are from the charity house. I will know about the situation in the charity house this afternoon. After all, there is such a big fuss in the West District. You have also seen the attitude of the arbitration office. I don't recommend that you come back recently."
Charity House, that will cause trouble to the people you care about. The current situation is not that we force you to be the leader, Arthur. We are willing to wait, but you have no place to temporarily escape this crisis." Elise
Arthur's earnest words made Arthur confused. It had only been three or four days since Parrish proposed to him to become the leader of the wizard organization in Brighton City. The Temple of Life, the pursuit of the Arbitration Institute, and all the things piled up and rushed to Asia.
Ser, if this can be considered a coincidence, then what is the purpose of the remnant of the God of Destiny intervening in his life.
"I...I need to think about it again. I'm worried that I can't bear this responsibility..." Arthur lowered his head deeply and put aside the remaining half of the tomato soup.
Ino and Elise looked at each other, "It's okay, Arthur, have a good rest tonight. Elise, take him to the third floor and tidy up the guest room."
"Okay, Mom." Eloise glanced at Arthur worriedly, walked to him and pulled the corner of his clothes, "Arthur, come with me, you look terrible." Arthur smelled
He said, got up and followed Elusi, leaving Mrs. Ino alone in the hall on the second floor, looking at the fire on the wall and thinking quietly about something.
"Parrish, I hope you are right, we don't have time to drag it out anymore." Mrs. Eno relighted the fireweed in her pipe, closed her eyes and inhaled the thick smoke.
...
When Arthur woke up again, he could see from the window of the third-floor guest room that it was already dawn outside. Arthur rubbed his head. The tattered shirt he was wearing was already soaked with sweat. In the cold winter, such a situation could only be caused by Asia.
Se was stimulated by nightmares. Last night, under the guidance of Elus, he entered this guest room that was twice the size of the room he lived in in the charity house. He fell on the goose down mattress and fell asleep. He really needed a rest.
.
In the dream, Arthur returned to Nozil City and saw Hobic who was smashed into a pit, the members of the reconnaissance team with only half of his body left, and Docmund who fell in a pool of blood in the dock square.
and Buchlington, and then with a feeling like floating, Arthur saw the elf Christina wrapped in plants on the goblin ship they were riding on, and standing at the helm of the ship was Ugor, their eyes always looked at each other.
Staring in the direction of Arthur, it felt like taking Arthur to their world.
These are all companions who are more or less close to Arthur, but they have left this world forever. Arthur kept adjusting his breathing to calm himself down from his dream, "Is it really too stressful?
..." After muttering to himself, Arthur lay back on the big goose down bed. His mental state was much better than last night. Now he needed to think about wizards.
"Are you up, Arthur?" There was a knock on the door, and standing outside the door was Elise. She didn't seem to care whether Arthur was already up, she just opened the door and walked in.
Arthur sat up and leaned on the purple satin pillow. His mind wandered to what would happen if Elise came in without any clothes on. "Elise, don't you have to go to work today? Today should be the Fire Moon Day."
"I have already been to the library, but Mr. Dean asked me to come back. The library has a lot of people today." Eloise brought up a basin of water for Arthur to wash up, and prepared a towel to put on Arthur's bed.
head.
"So, why did you come to me?" Arthur was not used to this so-called 'noble life'. He just washed his face with water in his hands. He believed that Elise must be disturbing him.
Is there any reason?
"There is a person who wants to meet you. In our organization, he is responsible for logistics and other tasks. My mother notified two important people in the organization this morning, and he is one of them." Elus gave a brief introduction, and then
He stepped back two steps, and behind him, a 40-year-old man with a head of just over 1.6 meters tall and a beard walked in from the door. Arthur immediately guessed that this man must be related to the dwarf Houston family.
"Don't think about rude things, I'm a human being, kid." The man's voice was full of magnetism. If he didn't look at his appearance, Arthur could even imagine a personable and elegant person.
Elise suppressed her smile and introduced to Arthur: "This is Temasio. When we usually organize parties, he is responsible for venue security and other matters." Temasio stretched out his hand and talked to Arthur.
Shaking each other, his hands were rough and strong, "Child, do you know the name of our organization, the Hermits? I think you should be able to understand the meaning of this name."
"Is it because wizards need to hide from everyone else?"
"Absolutely, but also because we need to hide among ordinary people. Just like little Elise is a librarian and I am a carpenter. The so-called hermit just wants to maintain his independent personality and thoughts.
To maintain our own freedom, this is also the biggest gap between us and the servants of God." Matthew seems to have a very amiable personality at the moment. He looked at the damaged shirt on Arthur's body, "Maybe we should find you a new set of clothes, Ai
Ruth, go talk to Ms. Eno and ask her to bring a handsome coat and a new white shirt from the store."
Just when Arthur was about to refuse, Matthew had already walked around the end of the bed to the window, and opened the soft curtain beside the window sill, letting the light shine into the room.
"Child, when Parrish mentioned you to us, we planned to give you full time. He told us about your special attributes and what happened in Nozil City. Don't be curious about how we knew, etc.
The boy who came down to the old Ardesno house even knew how many hairs the 300-pound fat man at 112 Lincoln Street, North Brighton, had on his legs. Let’s not talk about it, Arthur, we need you very much now.
What's the reason? It's because our organization now has no goals and no desire for integrity. After there were betrayers among us, there have been some internal divisions. Parish is not often in Brighton City. We need to have
People of authority come to guide us on what to do."
"I don't understand," Arthur stretched out his hand to block the light that irritated his eyes, "You can elect a new wizard from within to guide you, why can it only be me?"
"Because of your last name, Arthur," Temasio glanced at the door of the room, waved his hand, and a square and trimmed piece of wood that was as long as an arm appeared out of thin air. After closing the door, it returned to his sleeve.
Here. When Temathio mentioned his last name, Arthur almost couldn't control his desire to push Temathio to the ground and knock him unconscious. At any time, Arthur wanted to hide the biggest secret.
It was his surname. Currently, the only people who knew his surname were old Ford, Parrish and George. The old man in front of him suddenly mentioned the word surname, which made Arthur very panic, but he quickly calmed down.
"How do you know?" Arthur's tone was cold. As long as Temaxiu said something wrong, he would attack him violently.
"Remember Dodger, Arthur? He was once a member of our Hermits." Matthew recalled what happened many years ago. "When Old Ford informed him to pick you up, he informed him immediately.
I, yes, child, I was in the dark when I took you back to Brighton City... You are a descendant of Hebrews, we must ensure your safety, and then Dodge and another of ours will be enforcing the law
Compatriots who have a seat on the team have disposed of all the information about you, including your mission files, including the information that you stayed at the charity house. Except for the fact that your information was leaked during the census, Dodge and I are still in the dark.
I have always protected you. Of course, it was only before you were twelve years old. Parrish only found out about this later, and we also found out later that you and Parrish had met each other when you were young, without Dodge and me, and we didn’t know it all the time.
Keep an eye on you."
This is probably why Arthur's life was quite warm before he was twelve years old, but Arthur still didn't understand the inevitable connection between this and becoming the leader of the Hermitage. Termasio noticed Arthur's doubts, and started thinking about it from the beginning.
He took out a piece of old wrinkled paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it in front of Arthur. After unfolding it, Arthur looked at Temasu in confusion, then lowered his head to look at the old paper in his hand. The handwriting on it was bigger than his own.
The imagination is even more neat, and it was obviously transcribed by someone, with many notes around it.
The paper roughly expresses a passage, which seems to be written in the tone of the old god. Now that the matter has been established, I tell my believers in advance that they come from the blood of the Hebrews, from the south, and from the blood of the Mother Goddess.
